The Jackson Mistiisaz'ppian of June 4th has aletter from Porthibson, dated on the 25th ult., which gives an account 0f an,.aflair between Farragut’s fleet and the rebels in that vicinity. On Monday,‘ the 23rd, a battery of artillery at Grand Culf‘opened fire on the Federal fleet de- scending the river from Vicksburg. The fleet passed on, but in a few hours the Harthrd, Brooklyn, and three gun-boats, ahd 'tw'o'lransports, returned to Grand Gulf.'*'*' " ’ - Ashsoon as they came within range, a fire was'opened by them upon the town, with heuv‘y shot and shell, without any notice of their purpose, and without al- lowing an opportunity for the removal of the inhabitants. Fortunately for them, the peeple .of the team did not trust to the observance-of the miles of civilized war- fare bv snub an enemy, but abandoned lllt‘lr éll‘lfilllflg? at. the first sight of the ap- proaching fleet, and found refuge behind the protection of a convenient bill. Shot and shell passed entirely through several of the most prominent private residences, and one shell, after descending through the large and elegant store of the Messrs. Buckingham, "exploded beneath it, and blew hi'large”'p0rtion of the building to atoms. No resistance could of course be made. The vessels Cameon, and the Brooklyn and matures made fast to the wharf- lfoat nf'Cotnr'nodOre Martin, and thence landed parties in boats, the town being nearly‘all' covered from two to four feet " deep with water.’ They remained In possessionfof the town, and ~until sunset, when theytall withdrew to their ships, and these were hauled off and anchored in the river, and everything gave, promise of a quiet night. It should be noticed, how- ever, that a party of the enemy seized four or five. negro men and carried them off to one of their ships, a movement the obâ€" ject of which was afterwards made plain. At night, Captain Hos-kins very judiciâ€" ously retired with his company two or three miles toward the interior, and a number of citizens volunteered to do picket duty for him on the roads leading out from Grand Gull. \Tliis proved to ‘ be a very Wise precaution, for after dark a party of ten or dozen of our pickets discovered a force of the enemy, estimat- ed at fro.“ three tofour hundred, ap- proaching them about'a mi.c and a half from Grand Gulf. Their advance was suffered to come within about twenty yards. when they were fired upon. They halted and returned fire, but ad- vanced no further, alarmed, doubtless, by the firmness of the resistance they met, and, after some delay, they retired to the town.

AN old French proverb says that ‘ when a man attains to power. he possesses all the virtues of an epi- taph; but when he falls into mis- fortune, he has all the vices of the, Prodigal son.’ As a general thing this may be taken as a pretty cor~ rect estimate of the ways of the The career of that man Mr. When an individual, by a sudden stroke of good fortune, rises to a position of power or wealth, when he comes to possess influence, and! the world smiles upon him, he is sure to be surrounded by a multi- tude of admirers, ever ready to echo his praises, and to speak ap- provineg of his conduct. All ox- pericncc shows that this may be considered a general rule, to which there are but few exceptions. But when a person has friends before he arrives at a pos1tion of honour and influence. and they desert him or only give him an equivocal sup- port afterwards, we mayjake it for granted that he has been guilty of something utterly indefensible.â€" Mr. Howland, however, appears to be in the latter position. He was the other day made a ministerof lian Chambers were debating a question of Illomleur this- evening contains a ratification of dreamed of occupying; yet” most prominent men of his own party hang aloof from him, they refuse to approve of his conduct,5re the not inconsistent TUE GOLD F honest-y in.the politician, that he form While in a government,witli- and they, in effect, accuse him of Dull-“Cladmgpel’haps some Q‘Xll'eme . . . ,,,77 I‘.X ’,u 0‘, . betray mg the. trust reposed In lllnl.’lnea8u“" “Kn M‘- Recwr 00“ l Mr. Dickson, who nominated the new finance minister at Weston last week, although finding no fault with him for deserting his princi- ples, could, go no farther than 'to indulge the hope that the new mi- nistry, whatever theirfaults and their failings might he, would looli more closely to the financial affairs of the country, than had been here- tofove the case ! *But there is some- thing liighlv characteristic in what, follows. \ .'He had been told that 4 £1,000 had beenfreely offered to bring out an opposition candidate to Mr. l-I-owlaud, in order that. the management of the finances might not again pass into the hands of a Lower Canadiau.’ If Mr. Dickson is not an eloquent speaker, he has at least a vivid imagination, on which be appearsto draw largely for his facts. No doubt his audi- ence were curious to know the lucky individual that could afford ‘to offer freelv ’ £1,000, meielv for the purpose of bringing out an op~ position candidate; and it would have been equally interesting to learn the name of the Lower Canaw dian who has recently had charge of the finances of the country. He must certainly have countedlargely On the credulity of those he was addressing. The nomination was seconded by Mr. Tyrre‘l. This gentleman, in the whole course of his remarks, is unable to find a single circum- stance to palliate the conduct ofthe new finance minister; and know- ing that in secondirig the nomina- tion he was not acting consistent with the opinions he had openly ex- pressed among his neighbors, he commences his speech by exousing himself for supporting Mr. How- land. ‘He said he Was satisfied there was no one present who felt more regret than he did, when he first saw the platform issued by the present reform ministry. IIe con- sidered they had abandoned every single principle of reform,wliich the people of Upper Canada had del manded, and on which they felt more sensitive perhaps than on any other matter in the whole platform. When he saw that that principle was entirely abandoned by those men, what Could he say but that they were like other men, that they were not infallible, and that they were glad to accept office like other men.’ M‘r'.‘ Tyrrelfappears to have formed a pretty correct estimate of the political integrity of the new ministers. ,If this is the most fa‘ vorable picture a friend can draw, what may be expected from their opponents? He has said as much to damage their standing as could have been alleged by their bitterest enemies. Perhaps he was keeping in View thegood old maxim about sparing the rod and spoiling the child. He no doubt considered that a little wholesomeadmonition, in ,0 (,0 mm. the presence of the electors, would under the VCll‘CUI’llSlflflCBS, have a salutary effect. Yet after all this plain talking; after showing that Mr. Howland was quite unreliable, that he had deceived his constitu- ents, that he had abandoned the first principle of reform, he never- theless consents to second his no- mination. He does not even con- descend to inform the public as to what influences had been brought to bear, in order to change his opi- nions so suddenly. Mr. Boulton, the next speaker, is equally plain. He declares that “ he looks upon the ‘(loublo ma- jority,’aod ‘joint authority" as a great absurdity.” Mr. Howland labors hard, in an exceedingly long speech, to prove that the late government had been guilty of-all manner of corruption; that they were teaching all kinds of immorality to the people, that the country had been‘going to ruin for the lastei‘glit years. But on the all-important representation ques- tion, his explanations exhibit a de- gree of hardihood and total abnega- tion of principle, that is truly astoné isliiug. It simply amounts to this. The LOWer Canadians are opposed to representation by population, and that no government could possibly be formed, that would make it a cabinet question. This is precisely the reason that the Cartier-Mac- douald administration did not take it up, The opposition, which so frequently urged this question upnnl them, and moved a voie of want of confidence because it was not mentioned in the speech from the throne, knew quite well that the some difficulties existed then, that exist now. Why then was the last government blamed for not do- ing, what is now admitted to be impossible ? We are sorry we have not space to do justice to the speech of the Hon. Mr. Reesor. It is really a gem in it way. It exhibits, in the clearest light, the strange system of political morality, by which that gentleman appears to be guided.â€" Heis reported to have said, that, the Crown,.a post which he IlC'YOI‘i“ lie could understand how it was siders Representation by‘ Popula- tion an extreme measure. ,A large majority of Upper Canadians are united on this question; the late opposuion advocated it strongly; and many of the ministerial sup- pot'ters'were in‘i't favour, yet. still it is here characterized as an “ex- treme measure.” But Mr. Reesor considers that a man may profess one set of principles in opposition, and another set in the government. Here is a principle laid down, which, if carried out and acted upon, would put an end to all poli- tical morality, which would tend to destroy all confidence in public men. HoweVer it affords a glimpse at Mr. Reesor's political ethics, and is therefore worthremembering. * i-._____‘o-H A National Holiday. ~â€" “ A Public Meeting of the inhabitants of ‘Stoufi‘viile, was held in May. to take into con- sideration the propriety of celebrating, as a National holiday. the 3rd,of July next, it bein the annivorsary of the settlement of Canada.” â€"Econwuist. June l'2th. So Canada was settled on the. 3rd of July, was it ? The Economist man must have been diving deeply into historical matters of late, to make such an interesting diseavery. All the historians who have written accounts of the early settlements on this continent are therefore entirely in the wrong. Clrronolology has been quite at fault, thcdates given by French, English and Canadian authorities are quite incorrect,-â€"-the erudite editor , of the Economist must know all aboutit. The Hon. gentleman has been twice at Que- bec, and is of course quite compe- tent to decide any question, whether in history or politics. ‘ And the inhabitants of Stouffvile took into consideration to propriety of observing the 3rd of July as a national holiday. - We are confident that the intelligent people of that village are not so fearfully ignorant, - as to commit a blunder ofthis kind. They are certain'lyrbetter acquaint- ed with the history oftlieir country ; and it is impossible that Mr. Sang- ster, who, the Economist says, is to deliver the introductory address on the occasion, can have engaged himself to assist in celebrating the anniversary of the. settlcriient of Ca- nada on that day. We understood, some time ago, that the good people of Stoulfville, had determined, this v year to commemorate the anniver- sary of the discovery of Canada or rather of the entrance to to the Gulf of St Lawrerc: (which was made. on the 101h of August,¢St. Law- rence day, 1535). and il’iattbey had invited their esteemed and talented friend Mr. Saugster, to deliver the inaugural address; but what this has to do with “ a national holiday on the 3rd of July.” we are unable to conjecture. Probably the fourth of July, and American indepen- dence were uppermost in the mind of the writer, when he penned this extraordinary piece of information. But before he again undertakes to speak of historical matters, anti to state so positively the dates of im- portant events. he would do well to consult the village schoolmaster; or, in his absence, one of the pupils will probably be able to set him right. l "4» THE .NORTH BRITISH REVIEW.-â€"~ We have received the above Quar- terly for May.

(Fromt‘the Scottish American Journal,) Some months ago we devotedconsider- able time and Space to the new a-urifei‘ous region in British Columbia. The question t’ention, and we have reason to- know that our articles on the subject awakened con- siderable interest both on this continent and in Europe. Since then many daring and adventurous young men have set out for British Columbia, in Search of gold; and while there is not yet time to learn what success has attended them, we most heartily wish all their hopes may be fully realized. MOre recently, the gold fields of Nova Scotia have arrested attention; and we believe those provincial regions are destin- ed, at no distant day, toprove largely re- munerative to the gold seeker who comes to his work with the proper conditions-â€" a moderate capital and something like scientific appliances. The territorial ex- tent of those regions is very considerable; and it is over a year since satisfactory evi- dence has been afloarded that the precrous metal abounds throughout. those regions in large quantities. There is no doubt that Nova Scotian gold fields extend along the coast ofthe province fully two hun- dred and fifty miles. forts of the miners may be expected lobe successful, but a recurrence to them may prove useful. They comprise Tangier, Lawrencetown, Isaac’s harbour, and the celebrated ‘ Ovens,’ In Lunen-burg. We understand that the number ofclaims taken up already is very large; at the Ovens they amount to sixty thousand. Up to the present it is stated that the ‘O’vens,’ Tangier, Sherbrook-‘e, Wine Harbor, and Isaac’s llarbor have proved the most re- munerative, and to those points the larg- est numbers bave been attracted. It is a hopeful sign that the usual result of suc- cessful iliggings bi‘gll'l to appear in the form of a number of bustling towns which have started up in those localities. It is a great sign of program, and augurs Well for the 5000855 of mining operations, that whereas, previously to this spring, mining was carried on by means of the most primitive machinery, of late a num- ber of quartz crushers have been intro- duced. 'I‘iie quartz crusliers will soon test the gold-bearing qualities to the full extent of Nova Scotia. At present it is not very easy to ascertain the products of the claims now being worked. It is said that the miners keep rather silent on this pointâ€"a good sign, we should be inclined to think. We have been informed by some correspondents from Halifax that there is no doubt that several persons. even in the infancy of the gold fields of Nova Scotia, have already been eXceed- ineg fortunate. Having hit upon good claims. they are fast making fortunesâ€" Of course many persons are doomed to be disappointed; but even where this is the case. a voyage to lllese diggings does not involve very much risk. But extravagant expectations must. not be indulged in.-â€" Ricli pliicers or alluvial diggings, as in the more celebrated regions of California and Australia,are not to be met with. it should not be forgotten that the gold is only to be found in Nova Scotia imbe’d- (led in quartzite or slate, and Without quartz crusher it is useless to seek to ex- tract it.
