111 PORTANT FROM EI ROPE
We learn br the arrival of the Atneri
ea, on the 26th, that • spirited discussion
took place on Canadian defences in the
House of Commons o0 the 131b. Lead.
ing members of both Ministry aid Op-
position united iu declaring that Canada
would be defended with all the power oft
Lord Palmerston denied that England
w.a jealous, and believed there wu good
feeling towards lin¢land ■niongst• the
gnat bulk of Americans. No doubt both.
North and Smth have some feeling fur
our new -espousal of their cause, but that
wu ao',roason why we should not place
Canada ip a etate of defence. The rela- I
•tions between England and the United i
States were perfectly friendly at present.

The evidence of Mr. Perrin, Mrs. Per-

lived about a quarter of ■ mile apart.
On the ith of November Mr. Perrin
started for Brentford, leavin his wife at
