EXPOSITOR. What Confederation is Donag for Ontario, written article on the two Coalitions, Ottawa, and Ontario, shows that dissat- iifaction is -working its way rapidly in- to the patent combination. Mr. Wood's having spoken out boldly ag;uist the gevernment on the Nova' Scotia Subsidy is taken as the guaraeitee of his earley return to the leeform raeks, and Jan Sanclfield's iracibility and melignaey is ccnsidered -will very soon alienate his quondam supporter. On the thought of this and similar dream- staces the entire overthrow of the On- tario,Cabinet is predicted next session, - Though not prepared 'to venture a prediction, we certainly agree so far as we are concerned in making the wish father to the thought. John Sandlield has never reflected any great credit on Ontario, neither has he ever evinced that species of Statesmanship which WOUid Stamp hine as a Man or lover of generous impulses, Acteated always by -selfishness taiaci ambition. he has lost all sere of dignity, and, prudence, and nothing but the influential position, whigh he attainecl! by intrigue, would ever eible him to control his dis-af- fepted followers. Ontario can -well clis- Pense with his services without suffer- ing in the estimation of her friends whether at home or abroad. • ROYAL CANADIAN BANK.—The annu- al meeting of thisinstitution was a rather stormy affair, every person having a " say" of their OW11 to get off. One feaure was very manifest in the meet- ing, viz : The indigaation with which the conduct of Mr. McDonald was re- ceived by the Stockholders. Nothing regarding the .financial position of the Bank was brought out, which is not al- ready known. The Directors for the ensuing year are as follows :—Mr. John: Crawford, barrister; Mr. 'W. Thom- son, of Thoro.son & Burns, haadware merchants, Toronto; Mr. McGee, lum- ber merchant, Ring • station; Mr. Crombie, Galt ; Mr. - Wm. Barber, • manufacturer, Georgetown; Mr. Wm. 1VICGivern, hardware merchant, Hamil- ton ;- and Mr. John H. Durable, Co- ) b boure Mr. Crawford. was elected *, President. We hope to see the Bank speedily resume, as we have no doubt. but that the above board will speedily put things in working ord.er.. BANKING AND CURRENCY. Although Wit-. Rose , has seen the necessity of yielding to. the voice of Public opinion, so far as to withdraw his ,Banking Scheme for the present, it will not do for the people of Ontario to be lulled into a sense of security by the temporary suspension of, hostilities. There is every ieiason to dread that the Government dining the recess of Parliament will use /every effort to rally their forces and Cottle fclown next session with a renewal of their mea- sure. Snubbed as they have evidently been by the Home uovernment, fot. their mis-appropriation of the Inter- , coloniel money, and with a damaged oredit in London, ngoessity may chive them into some planwfor a forced loan froti the Canada Banks under cover of soie specious scheme similar t'ci that just Withdrawn.

OUr opportunities of discussing the subject with many intelligent fanners have been nuimer- ouse and we have found a wide spread knowledge. of the' subject amongst them. • The farmers of Ontario are- not to be hoodwinked, and aily -man who tales to do so on this question will find himself "most miserably mistaken," We were much struck -by a refuel k made to us on Monday last, by a far- mer from Heilett, talii g about the. • Royal Canadian Bank, h said he saw by the . papers that th .Bills of the Bank were ercath more by two or three per cent than Ameriean Silver Coin, and thirty per cent more than _United States Legal Tender Notes, though the 'Bank had suspended specie payment over a month aece Hesaid this ought to show to any tiiinkirg man the vast superiority cf our Banking, System When even the Notes of it. broken Bank are better by one-third thee' those of the -United States Govbrnoient with all the vast country to back them ep.
