The Earl of Derby defended the ac- vtion of the government, stating that they .felt bound to object to the sweeping corr- _liscation of landed property in (Jude which 'Lord Canning had proclaimed. Several other members spoke on the -subiect. ' In the House of Commons Mr. King- Mlake asked when the dcspatch received from Sardinia, cordially concurring in Lord Malmesbury’s despatch. and a copy of the latter despatch would be presented Ito the House. 3 . _ 7 The Chancellor, of the Exchequer reâ€" peated that there was a perfect agree- ‘inéht between Great Britain and Sardinia . anvil-h respect tothe course to be taken for Ahc solution of the present difficulty.

The Court of Queen‘s Bench refused the applications of the British Batik Diâ€" rectors for a new taial. Lord Campbell said the jury were justified iir their ver- dict. All the facts of the case were tin- .contradicttd, and he sincerely hoped that :thc prosecution would have a salutary ef- fect upon commercial transactions. 1 At the annual meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Suciety in London. a resolution was unanimously adopted to .disseminate as far as possible Scriptural instruction in India. The Landon Times. in its city article. has some lengthy remarks on the exten- .-sion of theUnited States southward. and -says in clfcct that absorption of the weak- er republics of Central and South Ameri- ca by the United States cannot be long~ delayed, should America now pursue the course that sermsinnnincnt. The change -as regards the English interest, assuming ‘that she will honestly provide for the exâ€" isting debts of the various States in ques- tion, cannot but be a great improvement upon their present position. The. writer thinks that far more opposi- tion Will be shown to the extension at ‘home than abroad. The long projected European and American Submarine Telegraph Conr- pany, via the Azors, were about issuing yroposals for laying their cable. A meeting of one hundred and twenty -Iibei1il members ofthe House of Corn- .mons, had been held. and had adopted resolutions declaring that they do not ex- Jrress satisfaction with the government; that no future government will be worthy ofer r port which does not manifest air Pzivmist ‘zenl and sincerity iii promising irrcnsuri-s 'of iiIIprovi-iucnt and reform ; and that .cvt‘ry government wishing to have the confidence of the liberal party should be established rn a wider basis. The Bank of England had male no change in the rate of discount. The nul- flow of bullion lo Fiance had checked the expectation.

Full details of the scenes following the fall of Lucknow are published. The son of one of thc Begums and two or three ladies of the Zenana inert- killed by a discharge of nruskctry, when the doors were brirst in, before the. so'dicrs saw that they were women. The plunder and destruction of pi-Operty seems to bare been immense. The tr00ps had been ex- posed to gaeat labour before the city. Strong measures were at last taken to preset-re order in the city, and prevent plunder. It was expected that 8,000 men would have to be left to garrison Lucknow. Symptoms wcth observable of a gather- irrg clouds in the iiovthn'cst,and prevciita tire ineasvri-s were urged for fear of a sudtlch outbreak of the Sikhs. Sir James Outram had issued a procla- mation declaring that the British govern- ment had no intention to carry on an armâ€" ed propagnudisni. as was believed among the natives; and the Governor-General had issued a proclamation promising re- wards to these who had been faithful, and called on others to submit a rd throw themselves on the mercy of the British government. He corrliscates, all the es- tates of the later, but pronounces that their lives shall be spared, if they are not guilty of shedding murderous blood. The Paris Pays affirms that in a pri- vate dispatch Sir Colin Campbell has urgently demanded large. and immediate .einforccments,on account of the great losses his army has sustained by sickness and the enemy’s fire. ‘ The Pays says that notwithstanding the taking of Lucknow, Oude is still in full insurrection and revolt, and instead of being trodden .out. extends daily. ARRIVAL OF "PUP. CITY OF \YA SHIN GT OI\~ ' New Youx, May 21-. The steamship City of \I'asbington from Liverpool, 12th May, arrived last evening. ' She reports the Africa hence, arrived out on the 9th. The news is interesting. A ministcriaI crisis in England was re- garded as imminent. Lord Ellenborongh :had resigned, and a trillion of 'censure against theGJvc-ruincut was pending in both Houses of Parlianeat. ' ‘ “0n the lOlh ih‘s‘tair't, in the‘ House of; [Jerald-the Earl of Strat'tesbury gave, no ,ucethat on the 14th he would more a resolution condemning the conduct of'the Government in publishing tireir‘ despalcln to it'h‘elGove'rn-irfGeneFal of India. ' ' run the same evening, ill the House of Commons, 3 report was submitted declar- ing the recent elcclion in Limerick void on the ground ‘of bribery. Mr. Cardwéll gave notice that. on the 13m instant he should move the following res )lutions :â€" “ That this House, whilst' it abstains from expressing any opinion upon the pol- icy of any proclamation issued by the Governor General of Jndia in relation to Ou’dc;ii:is seen with regret and Serious apprehension that Her Majesty's Govern- ment has addressed to the Governor Gen- eral of India, through a Secret Commit tee of the India Home, a dcspatch con- demning in strong laugiiagethe conduct oftlre Governor General of India, and that they are of opinion that such a course on the part-of the Government must tend, under the present circumstances of India, to producea most. prejudicial effect, by weakening the authority of the Governor General, and by encouraging further re- sistance on 'the part of those who are still in arms.” Queen Victoria had given her first state ball of the season at Buokingham palace. The Hon. E Erskine, Secretary ofthe British Legatidn at Turin, is appointed to the same post at \Vashington. All the wire of the Atlantic telegraph had been coiled on b raid the Niagara and Agamcruuon, so that nothing remains to be done but to take on board a small por- tion of new cable â€"'\\’lllL‘il was being done â€"and the paying-out machinery. The dcpa‘ture of the ships on the experimen- tal cruise was expected to take place on the 25th inst.. No doubt seems to be entertained that the proposed vote of censure on the Gov- ernment. will be adopted in the House of Commons on Thursday, and although it seems alin0st iiicrcdiblr. that: a dissolution will either be contemplated or allowed, existence of doubt upon the point exer- cis s a very uniavoruble influence.

THE ‘4 ECONOMIST” Axi) THE ASSESSOR. A short‘time ago we gave our of readers idea of sortie the “sayings and doings” of the an Economistâ€"his remarks and de- testable falsehoods with regard to In his issue of the 13th of May, be con- the assessors appOintment. fesses his sins and admits that we never had anything 10 do with the appointment of R. Marv, as collec~ tor; but by our support of Mr. Marv, as assessor, this wouldâ€"be M.P.P. declares that we endorsed fully Mr. Marr’s previous character, which, he says, has been notorious Now we have never be- fore heard anything disreputable of the character of Mr. Mai-r; but if for years. his acts as a township officer have heretofore been as notorious as is stated by Reesor, and if the public chest has been endangered thereby, why did not Recsor, who has been in the Council for years, bring a charge before the public and have it investigated_? The mere fact of Reesor nomin- ating Mr. Peter Pike to the office of assessor. is not sufficient to- Show that Mr. Marr is not equally worthy of the nomination. Neither does the fact (if our voting for Mr. Marr, as gassessor, convey any meaning whereby Mr. Pike can be consider- ed aS unworthy. Yet, the Econo- mist thinks that, because he and Mr. Pingle voted for Mr. Pike, the other members of'tlre Council must bow with submission to the “ Phil- osopher’s” nod. The public finds him one week inserting in his paper falsehoods of a most glaring nature; the next week he admits them to be such. One week he lauds his own char- acter to the skies, or asks some person to do it; the next he admits he does so for the sake of “ Popu- larity.” It is also evident that the course pursued by the Economisl, from time to time, on matters that require vcry grave relative to the Township, are treated by him as things of no consequence, and then consideration he asks his readers to praise him for this gross act of neglect. Rccsor where is your shame 9 have you not gullcd the public long enough? Ignorant and illiterate us we hav ’ always found you to be, we rcally did not think that you. were so for lost to shame as to at‘ tempt to carry out a principle that must eventually hold you up to public scorn. The Economist also accuses us of being “ bound hand and foot " to Mr. Buttonâ€"{l@ svm- plains of another slight derange- ment-$3 Now we must say, in justice to Mr. Button, that he never did at any time solicit our vote in his belialf,â€"â€"not so with Reesor, who, on finding that he was not the person who might expect our vote became silent, and declared ,that he is relieved, in consequence, ‘,,* Mr. \V. R. ROBERTSON, of “ What a broth of :1 boy is the some Mr. Reesor.” \vollfure of our from the great rcs‘ponxibilily. Had we acted upon the solicitations of Reesor, he then might have accused us of beingr “ bound hand and foot’ but we gave him to understand that we intended to take our seat in the Council Chamber unpledged to any person or party; a. fact, :W'lllCll he knows we have acted upon,â€"-but a fact which he has not , the principle to admit, and why ? brcause he cannot bear the idea of being walked out the County Council. Poor Boy, ‘“ anaspirant for legislative honors,” A rejected “ Nominee,” A public “ benefac- tor," A “ village founder,” A self- munufucturod “ philosopher,” to be in a moment sent ‘to the right about” is really too bad. 111s- expectations, which had" for some time been soaring very high, were in a mo- ment brought low and he sank to his original insignifianee. It was really disheartening, yet such was the case, and after failing in every attempt to gain “popularity,” he is at last compelled to sit as an ordinary member of the Council. We wonder what method he will adopt next in order to‘gnin “ popu- larity.” WC Shall watch his next “dodge,” but we know already that. “popularity” is his only ob- ject, and that he will SaCl‘lfICt‘ principle at anytime for the sake of it. He will suffer the weak to be trampled upon by the strong, even in the very teeth of the law, if by that means he can gain the cstccm of the “ popular ” party. anything or everything that will secure to him the greatest amount of “ popularity,” will receive his attention. We do not desire to lower Mr. Rccsor in the estimation of his readers, but we do intend to In short. administer to him, occasionally, gentle admonitions until We are satisfied that, by sodoing, we have taught him in some degree to re- spect the credit of the press. >94.â€"â€"â€"-. ,YONGE STREET SPRING SHOW. On Wednesday, the 26ft iiist., the Annual Spring Fair of the Yonge erect Agricultural ,Spciety was held in this village. The day' turned out exceedingly wet and uncomfortable. The whole night previous the clouds sent forth torrents of rain, rendering the side- roads all but impassable. Serious fears were entertained as to who- thcrany exhibition would take place, as the \veatlregwas so exâ€" tremely unfavorable.l However, these doubts were quickly dispel- led, as team after team were soon slowly to'approach, and there was soon a great number of entries. Indeed, the competition was very great for the different prizes, and the stock shown was of a Very Sir; pcrior description. The Judges, we doubt not, had a very arduous duty to porforrri, which, we believe, was in allcases performed faithfully, and to tho best of their ability; and we think that on the. whole the prich award- ed will give general satisfaction. The show of horses we do not re- member to have sccnjbquiilled in any former your. Several of those who did not obtain prizes were highly recommended. The compu- tition was so spirited as to preclude the possibility of particulurising from the others. ever, that especial thanks are due to Henry Jennings, G. Miller, Esq, Messrs. Armstrong, Edw. Sunder- son, Tlios. Martin, and others, for bringing out so many for competi- \Ve think, how- tion on such a wet dayâ€"they com- ing from a distaiicc,fora fow milcs was a great distance to come on such unfavorable circumstances.â€" One of these gentlemen, hoxvcvcr, tried to bringr more out, but could not got along with them, on account of the roads. Several tithe-rs also told us it was their intention of exhibiting several more cattle, birt they were prevent- ed by the weather. “’0 are de- cidedly of opinion that \Vcdnes- day’s exhibition sliOch the great advance the Society has made, more than that of itin former year. The weather was so unfavorable that no one, unless thoroughly inâ€" terested in the Welfttl't.‘ of the coun- ty, would come out and watch with thrilling interest the splendid com- petition iu a drenching rain. We doubt not but that all the members of the Association were highly labors. \Vc observed, amongst Agricultural Implements that the Messrs Patterson and Darling 8: Aitchison’s Machines were the topic of universal praise: they had two fine reaping and mowing lll'd- chiues on the ground, around which there wore a concourse of people any one as particularly (lis'.inCl' gratiffcd with the result of their. ... «DJ; discussmg their various merits Messrs."

An culogiuiu on whom was ably passed by the president, G. P. Dickson, in the evening at the close of the ex- hibition. The members of the Asâ€" sociation dined at the Victory Hotel. After dinner the prich were read by tlié Secretary and Trenâ€" surcr, G. A. _Barnard, Esq.â€" During the evening the usual loyal toasts were proposed by the President of the. Association, G. .P.

Ths uunrbcr Entries were far in advance of airy former year, of and the Premiums increased by over one-third,â€"â€"this more fully delineating the progress of the Society.
