THE EXPEcTED NEW'S.
While, like poor 3Iacawber, we are
quietly waiting for " uonetliing to turn
up," (-pinker is rife as to the nature of
the urangeint tit entered into with the
autloiritim touching our future as
• country. The Horning t'osr, u we
have already informed our readers, gives
us, setnisoffieially, an inkling of what the
recent conference of Canadian delegate:4
with members of the Imperial Cabinet re-
sulted in ; but the iuformation thus given
is only nerni.official, and it is barely possi-
ble that when the whole question is de-
bated in the Britiah Parliament it will be
found that nothing deciaive has beet' ar.
rived at. Even aupposing the Morning
Pea to be correct in ita etntemente, our
satirdaction must be qualified to a very
considerable extent. 1Ve are glad to hear
that England will stand by us—that she
will guarantee the loan required fur the
construction of the Interoolonial railway
—that she will supply the monomer re-
quired for our defence, and that the
Canals of the Pnivime are to be enlarged
for military and c immercial purposes.—
But then when we come to think over the
fact that Careida is expected to undertake
the whole ef the Western defence, we
cannot ig,norate the repert of Col Jervois,.
in which Western Cailada was openly de.
clared to be iudefeusible. There may be
conditions attached to the bare statement
of the Post, which will, when explained,
be more encouraging, but as tho matter
now stand., we can see nothing very in-
spiriting in the otriatien. The opening
of the Cannls would be a good thing,
when accompliahe I, and it", along with
that we can hare pee re (de with our
American neighbora, we think Canada
will reap all the commercial advantages
that Annexation *old poseibly bestow.
The settlemeet of the North-tVest quer,-
tioa would also be of va.-t importance. to
this country, but we, confess that we do
not at all like the idea of our having to pey
for the forts, &c., established by the Ilud-
son's Bay Monoyoly. That Company
was chartered in pursuance of a policy
which is now condenfinal by all right-
minded rpiakers and writers at home—a
policy that has given rise to ruinous wars
—which has retarded settlentent, and
risen up as a formidable stumbling block
in the way of the British Eueignuit where -
ever he haa gone te create fur Liumilt a
biome in a Colony of the Empire, whether
that Carey be. Australia, India, New
&kind ex North America,—and it seems
very harcl that ne should be made to'
suffer because at a certainiperiod it was
considemd Uiat lands thousands of milee
away from Iaowning street were only fit
to be handed over to a rapacious fur trad-
ing company. Many abuses in the man-
agement of Colonial affmrs have been dis-
covered and rectified, and we would fain
hope that the Imperial authorities will be
breught to feel beli,:e it is too late that
Ice have vested rights as well as the Hud-
son's Bay Compauy, and that we should
not be called upou bi pay too much for
the privilege of opening channels of com-
munication to, and the acquisition of, a
territory which will be only v.euable in
so far as it is rendered attractive to the
Eurepean emigrant.
It ie juet poesible, after all we have
beard of the mimosa of our delegates, that
the results will not come up to our wore
favorable expectations. For example, the
correspondent of the Liverpool Times says
that '• The Secretary for the Colonies
" will have to lay le.fore the House of
" Cr -immune the result of his six weeks'
'' conference ith the - deputatom sent
here by the Canadian government res-
inicting the defences of the lake fron-

the caw, if founded oo facts, would create
a feeling of increased despondency through.

The Fire oa 'rstesday Evening.
The alarm that rang out on Tuesday .
evening, the 2;th iust., drew a large
cro.vd of people to the bank of the river,
from twined which a dense volume of
smoke was issuing. The ennowful dis-
covery was made that it wart Plates Mill
that was burning, and that there wu no
hope of seeing it. ‘Vhen first discovered,
the flames, which appear to have originat-
ed in the upper story, were bursting'
through the roof. Tee fire.engine was
on the spot ae speedily as possible, but
not one in a hundred thought it oould be
of the slightest use, except to throw water
upon the adjoining shaeliouee, which eon.
tained a large quantity of wheat. How-
ever the mnehine was hastily placed at the
tail race where the supply of water tirm
un:imited, and the effects of the firemen
being nobly backed up by the general
crowd, a !nevem of water was soon blaring
and fizzing through the upper windows of
the Mill. The engine acted splendidly,
better, in fact, than we ever saw it do
before, and it was worked to its full power
by a dark masa of excited brakelmen.—
The stream of water thrown waa power-
ful enough to burst in a door on the
upper story, used fur hoisting purpose.,
but, for wino time, it was doubtful
whether any headway meld be made. At
last, however, the Moues ceased to issue
from the door and windows, whereupon •
..‘using cheer went up. Then, todre hole
WM attached rid the nozzle sent up
throogh a window into the building, from
which *till better execution was done.—
Still another cheer, arid then the joyful
. intelligence dame from throne ineide the
building and epread rapidly that the
flames were being subdued. and the build-
ing would be saved. From this time all
went well, and in hell to hour it became
apparent to all that the danger wee over.
Had the engine given out, or the supply
of water been' insufficient, DO earthly
power could have saved at least $10.000
worth of valuable property. At an early
stage of the fire, before there Was any
hope nf saving the building, a large quan-
tity of flour iu barrels' was taken out of
