Hon. Mr. Howland informed the [louse the other day that a new firm under the style of Governor and Council was being carrying on business as Tobacconists, and shores the first fruits of her: billowy reap- ings, by which she bas added to her popu- lation no fewer than forty-two thousand immigrants since the commencement of the present year ; baviug gathered in no fewer than 3777 during the past week. On Saturday last a company of 600 sturdy Swedes passed along the Great Western Railway ; just such a lot of bardy children as the Dominion requires ; but it appears that the emigrants did not con ceive that the Dominion was the most suitable howe for them; for nearly all of them passed over our territory and went to find a home with our enterprising cousins on the sunny side of the lakes. And here a question very naturally arises, why is it that our American neighbors succeed so much better than we in reaping year by year so rich and valuable human barvests ? What sort of sced do they sow, and can we not immitate them? our population from immigration is nothing compared with wat it ought to be, nor with what it would be if we got anything like our proportion of the mighty hosts who, year after year are turning their backs upon the poverty, oppression, and injustice of the musty systems of other 'aads to seek a home ia those better lands whose ample fields spead out beneath the setting sun, and where a bountiful Providence has pro. vided a heme and spread a table for all.-- But it is wot in the United States alone that these homes have been prepared, our Domision Las her fair "proportion of such Lomes with equal inducements to those of any other land. Why then do not imwi grants take advantage of ours, can it be that they know what the Dominion has to offer? We believe that this is very far from being known as. it ought to be, and it sowho is to blame? We feel confident that if only coe half of the money which is meant to be expended on useless fortifica tions were devoted to the purposes of educating Europeans regarding the advan- tages which the Dominion offers to immi- grants and of assisting those emigrants to reach their new Dominion home, there is not the slightest doubt that living, moving, inteliigent fortifications would be built up, as far superior to the contemplated, shaky structures of lime and stone as the ma-/ terial of the former is superior to that of the latter ; and we take it that any Gov. ernment which fails in this perticular, which regards immigration as a matter of recondary importance commits a sad blua®® aod does the country a grievous wrong. ee THE HEIGHT OF IMPUDENCE. « -- A Si.

Jt will be seen by a reference to our advertising columns that the Wool Card. ers and Cloth Dressers mn this entire sec- tion of country have bad a meeting al Cannington and there unanimously agreed that cn and after the 1st instant, a purely Cash system would be adbered to. The | action of the parties concerned is manly and straightforward they know the credit system to be a perfect nuisance and they lg ve adopted the onlyssure means of get ting rid of it by agreeing together to abandon it entirely and adopt the Cash system. This is setting a capital example and we should be glad to see ore business after another follow in quick succession until that pest of society that drags upon every enterprise, the credit system, be driven from our land. -------- Another of Britain's Great ones gone.-- Lord Brougham is no more.

Drs Berryman and Richardson were called to make the post mortem. These gentle- man saw fit to represent to the Coronor's jury that Dr. Campbell's medical treatment of the young woman was improper under the circumstances, and they (the jury) lent themselves as parties to the professional quarrel and criticised the Dr's treatment, as if they were capable of judging of one treat- ment from andther, or knew anything more of medecine than they do of i Notwithstanding this fact they do not besi- tate; to ,draw themselves up to their full length, and pronounce upon the treatment with as many airs as if they had possessed the skill of an Esculapiue. -- et --e VOLUNTEER DRILL, The good folks of New Hamburg are set- ting a capital example in this direction, as exemplified by the following letter from Col.

While three witness for the defence swore positively that Barrett was in Glasgow, Scotland when the explosion took place, the crown tively that he was in England, and at the place where the deed was done, the testimony for the defence was thrown out, so Barrett, was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. The case was immediately brought before the Privy Council by petition, and the consequence is that the prisoner has been reprieved for one week, pending further wquiry by the Gov- ernment. a -- THE BEGINNING, The first fight over the}Disendowment of the Church of Ireland took place in the North of England on Tuesday, 1hih inst.

He regretted that so import- ant a subject should be kept back to nearly the close of the session. He demurred at the reasons urged by the Minister of Milli- tia an stating that it was unnecessary to en- ter inlo a discussion as to the necessity for the works, as it was quite sufficient to know that the Imperial authonties had declared such works 10 be necessary from an Impe- rial point of view, all that the Legislature of this country had to do under the circum- stances was 10 act as nearly as possible in compliance with the Imperial demands. He (Mr. McKenzie) denied that the Dominton He was not disposed 10 concede, even to the Imperial parliamen:, the night 10 enforce on the Dominion, the éonstiuction of such works of delence, as ihe limpenal Parlia- ment may choose to deem necessary. 'The speaker went on at great length, objecting to the contemplated expenditure on several grounds, as being inefficient for the pur- pose contemplated, aud being too costly for the Dominion in its present condition, and also for the lack of sufficient information, aud that the chances of a rupture with the United Siates were very slight. Mi. Cartwnght went strongly ia for the appropriation, ;urging that the United Siates should be regarded, more as a sullen power- ful rival, than a friendly, neighbor. The gentleman did mt seem to care a grea deal how much wopld be laid on, if the'peo. ple would only bedr it, and seemed anxious to see what amogat of taxes could be born by the tax-payers. Mr, Massor urged the necessity for the Governmeut's giving specific and distinct in formation regarding the location of the pro- posed lots. Dr. Parkerfollowed. He combatted the assertion ot Mr. Cartwright, who talked of a Militia asf no consequence, compared to the regular srmy, and reminded that gentle- ma that te, greatest victory on record had been gained by Militiamen.

As soon as the English advances came in view the Aby- ssiman enemy stood forth in grand array. Anil in response to the sight, Thee lorue opened at once with mortars on Napier. - the British replied with the same" gun. The fire from the defences having: contmued®n short time, 3,600 warriors awt- ting up loud shouts of joy and revenge, and ' chanting national songs of triumph dashed ' with geal ardour Jown the steep height' from the palace fortress and charged the" British light batteries gallantly. Napier's © men stood firm, and the Abyssinians were" repulsed, having 700 warriors, including" two prominent chiefs, killed during the en=- gagement. The tactics of Theodorus' officers were judicious and the courage of his soldiers ex-- cellent. Aware of liis heavy loss, Theodor- - J us forwarded a flag of trace 10 Gen. Napier, . mguining on what terms the English wonld negotiate a peace. Gen. Napier replied in the name of the Queen. His terms wore * unconditional snriender. Theodorus said he would never accept such arbitary terms. Seeing even his present defeat, he would prefer to fight to the end. In conclusion the king requested Gen. - Napier to take the British captives, whom he would hand over to him, and go away when they had all been released. The King refused positively a surrender for him- self, and 1he conference was broken off. Magdala was consequently stormed by the English a few days afterwards, During the i latest moment of the fighting, after the | British assault, and when driven to his last standpoint. Theodoros attempted suicide | on three separate occasions. He was ren- | dered perfectly fuiious by his defeats. The | released captives say they saw three hun- | dred native prisoners killed by the king's order on the 9th of April. Theodorus was buried in the Church at Magdala, eflicial | respect being shown to his remains. The | yonng Prince Theodorus will be eonveyed | 10 England and éducated there. Ghbazez, | the friendly chief wha aided the British army in 1ts march through Tigie, wll be duly crowned King of Abyssmia--thus in- troducing a new dynasty.
