Some time ago, Queen VICTORIA'S Government, in England, decided that a little place called Ottawa should be the legislative and executive capital of Canada. Thli town is favorably located, but strong op pesttlon arose on its selection. Montreal and Kingston, as well as Quebeo and Toronto, each claimed to be the most suitable neat of Government. At present, the Legislature aro sitting In Toronto. When the question came before the Parliament, the four cities atone mentioned joined to throw out the proposition, and succeeded in doing so. The Ministry, of which Mr. Jonx Ai ItlienowaLD arid Mr. G. E. Marten were the bead just as Palm and DISRAELI are the bead of the British Ministry —considering the Executive beaten when the Parliament voted agatestOttawa, immediately resigned. Sir Emma , Elnan, the Governor General, was theasomPolled to select a Cabi net from the Oriposltion. Aucordla" GSOROE BROWN, proprie tor and editor of the Toronto Globe, a man of abllltY and influence, was requested to form so Administration. He did so, himself taking the post of Inspector-General, and appoint- ing various members of his own party to the other vacated offices. His Attorney-General, curiously enough, was Mr. J. SANDIIELD MACDONALD. We say curiously enough, this gentleman being a Roman Catholic, and Mr. throws, as legislator and as editor, having been most violently antagonistic to the Church of Rome—so violently, indeed, that he had every reason to expect that the Catho lic party in Canada would be vehemently hos tile to any Administration of which he was the bead. However, be bad not an opportunity of experiencing this anticipated hostility. With in twenty-four hours of his having formed a Ministry, both the Legislative Council and souse of Assembly passed votes of want of confidence in the new Administration. Mr. Baowx, as was his right, requested Sir ED MOND Hain to dissolve the Parliament, which was generally favorable to the former Ministry, so that public opinion might be tested by a Ge- neral Election.. HEAD, who is a cunning poli tician, did not desire to see Baows and his friends In ministerial office: The British Government in Loudon eagerly desire to have all the British North American provinces united, probably to be converted into a sepa rate Kingdom for one of Queen VICTORIA'S numerous sons, and Hr. BROWN has ever re sisted such a project. HELD declined issuing the necessary proclamation for a dissolution of the Canadian Parliament. Baows, therefore, had to resign. His great mistake was In having accepted office, without making it a fins qua non that if Parliament outvoted him, he should have full power to dissolve it. This vas the stipulation made by Lord Dranr, in England, last February, and the result has been his continuance in office, for Members of Parliament 4,9 sire to avoid the suspense and expense of a General Election, which may result in defeat to many of them. Mr. GALT, son of the novelist, was then em powered to form a Ministry. After some chops and changes," he was made Inspector- General, in the place of Mr. GAYLLY, and Mr. G. E. OADTINR becomes the Premier, retaining J. A. MACDONALD and nearly every other member of the old Macdonald-Cartier Cabinet. It was supposed, at one time, that the resig oatton of the Ministry, on July 28, after ent faring defeat on the question of Ottawa being the capital, was only a little trick, to obtain a plausible pretext, on the reconstruction of the Cabinet, for dropping three or four rather objectionable and certainly unpopular offictaia. Bat the Ministry, as it now stands, still con tains most of these persons. The very difficult question arises—what will the Governer and the Ministry do', with a Parliamentary condemnation of Ottawa as tho central capital or Canada 1 Thia is a positive act of insubordination, almost of disaffection, towards England. We take It for granted that the British Ministry will not permit itself to be beaten by e Colonial Legislature. Ottawa cannot become the capital of Canada without the concurrence of the local parliament,which concurrence has been emphatically refused. Sir EDMUND MUD'S only resource is to call another Parliament. Should he do so, and the anti-Ottawa resolution still be adhered to, the Canadian Legislature will bo actively hos tile to the British Ministry, and thence may Arise a series of events which, sooner or Wei., may lmul to the Independence of British Korth America. Now Jersey Politics. The political prospects in Now Jersey aro promising. Tho Democrats who refuse to give up principle are fell of confidence and courage. Dnepr!iled by threats, accustomed to proscription, and proud of their attitude, they await the election without a doubt of their full vindication. The Sussex Herald, under the lead of Colonel Monais B. HAMM. TON, is as able and fearless as ever. Tho edi tor publishes In a late number of his paper the following piquant letter addressed by himself to Dr. Hansa, one of the Lecompton members of Congress for the State: N. J. Heour.t. Ormoz,l liter 22, 1858. Iron. Sums Ihys,xtt—Dear Sir: As you in formed me in your letter of the 3d inst., that you would be pleased to receive any ootemunication deemed proper to rend," permit me to say that the urgent nature of my recent business affair* has prevented an earlier reply—but that my personal regard for you and yours remains unohantrod, ns I neves permit political qulations to interfere with my personal friendship. You say in your latter that you "find an un friendly feeling towards me, on the part of some who formerly were my warmest Mends." This is very natural In those Who imagine that Demooraoy consists in approving and imitating the conduot of the Administration—as sorely, Federal authority him admitted no opportunity to exhibit even its personal vindictiveness towards all Demoorata, who bare preferred to remain true tonl4lloloo, regardless of the , •thrift which follow!, fawning." On the other heed, you say that I "have friends on the Administrative side of the Kansas humbug ' who are willing to take me by the hand, if I thin k proper to give them an opportunity—it rests with me—it is mill optional on my part, to bold them, or cast them off entirely." Friend John, aroma ine if r lay that this sin. gular 'outgoes swat closely modelled after the English bill, as it apparently contains a bride and a tArrat to 000trol toy future sotion upon Lerromptonimn.

I have rendered the party, at least for the last ten years—you know the limited nature of my pecuniary means—andyou know bow willing, six manilas o, I would have accepted a 1117111tle• retire position under the Administration. Then Icould have taken it with honor—nom only at the seeribe of my manhood , political integrity, sod seltrespect. My position against" Lecomp. lonian," in any shop', is as deliberately and firmly taken as that of the Administration in its antagonism to Democratic prinelpies, and its re pudiation of Demooratio pledgee. If this be considered " tasting off entirely" my Administrative friends, I can only regret that their friendship is incompatible with en honest maintenance of the pledges and principles of the pa ty. Y ou r • told me, tut winter, that I was right—that Old Reek had made a mistake, and that, although you did not wish it published in the paper, as you wished to inure a few more dices from the old man, yet on the final lame you would vote on my side. Now, John, in 'abet bad that side changed, that you voted against it? or were you compelled to do so to retain your "Administra tive friends?" If such eaerifices of honor and prim:Apia are veterinary, we may wall conclude that the days of our party's glory are numbered. • Hoping we may eventually overcome the Mill enltlee so strangely complioated by the siognlar course of the Ad - ""titration, Ire nein yours truly, R. lianivrost.

BY MIDNIGHT MAIL Letter from‘‘OceasionaL,' Norrespendence of The True.] Traeustarrog, August 13 , 1858. There has been mush comment upon the follow ing i n ins t er dny'sWashington Union: "WO " t h a tsa we de' not oare upon what authority, a tax la levied nylon the persons employed In the Government service,and the pay ment thereof meted. We are quit ignorant of the authority upon widish this payment is demand ed. or theimrpose to which it Is applied when re ceived. We trust, however, that whatever may be thus collected may be wisely and economically applied to advance the interests of the Demooratio party in its great struggle with the Opposition. It is said that from oneviarter to one-half of one per cent. on the malarial of officiate is thus sleeted. Now, without knowing anything of the alleged tax, and with no belief in its existence, as a gene ral thing, we have just this to say on the subjeot: If theta to a parson in the public service who does not voluntarily contribute the amount, at least, of two dollars and, a half a year on each thousand dollars of his salary to support the cause of the Democracy, he should be dismissed at once, and his place tilled by one who is patriotic and liberal enough to double the oontribution." If the Government olerks in this pity were dogs, instead of men, and the Union their appointed tyrant and whipper-in, this language would be consistent.'• Or, if they held under a despot, who lived by draining those under him, it would be understood. •But in a country of white civilised freemen, it Is Impossible for anything to be more disgustingly offensive. ,Now, how do you think the money thus wrung from these gentlemen is to be need to advance the interests of the Demo °ratio party in its great struggle with the Opposi tion?" I wilt tell you ; for I have just heard the secret of this command of the Washington Union. It appears that this collection, which the Union Insists upon, is to pay a debt of some three thou sand 111 hundred dollars due to Cornelius Wen dell, owner and printer of the Union, for some Leeompton documents, ordered by the Penn sylvania Club, of which the illustrious Jahn Jones, of Berke county, is president. To liquidate this debt an assessment of 2 per cent. Wald upon every clerk in the Departments, which he is bound to hand over on pain of exclusion. To-morrow an other claim may be presented and liquidated in the same way, and so on ad infinitum. When you recollect that many of the officers in the Departments here are men of the highest chaise ; many of them ft to sit in the Semite and the house; many of them having large families; many who render great service to the Democratic party with their pens and their tongues, we can realise how the mandate of the Union will be taken. And when they are commanded to come forward to make good the claims of such an ad venturer and speculator fle Wendell, and to pay the debts of Glanoy Jones, and, in a word, to contribute to overthrow the Demooratio party by the circulation of the most infamous doo trines, I do not wonder that there is reshtanoe. But the rod is over them, and they must yield. I am the loot to say that mon in office should not help to pay the party enemies. I think they should; but who will not object to this attempt to grind them under the heel of any petty politician who ohooses to bleed thorn' for his own purposes? Your man filmy Jones is notorious for his greed of money. I think he did not hesitate to make the Democratic party of your State pay his personal political expenses, out of a pubilo fund in D 356, even to the expenses he incurred in going to the Cincinnati Convention. The idea of making his moneyed friend, Wendell, see by levies upon the Departments, is doubtless a pert of the same rystem. It Is a new one, and there is no look of bitter donnn*iatton of it. I won der If Nowell Cobb or Jacob Thompson approve. this sort of black mail. They are gentlemen of diameters too high to lead me to believe they do. They may agree that other departments may give to this man Wendell (cleated printer by the Opposition in 1858) all their best patronage; but they cannot certainly approve this new sub. sidy. Rely upon it, my dear air, that however some Democrats may be willing to approve Mr. Ila ahanan'a Kansas policy, there le not ono in ten that approves proscription of those who oppose thi polley. 'Especially is the course of things in Itll nolo against Douglas arousing a bitter feeling o anger and discontent. Occastonst,. Letter from New York. Norrespondenoe of The Preen.] NEW Yoar, August 13, 1858 The case of Edgar, late publisher of the " Way of Life," &Journal which was started on the tenth wave of the " Revival " In this city, presents 'a curious history of contrivance and hypocrisy. The paper was to be a chronicle of religion—a daily guardian of piety—and yet it was based on frau dulent pretences; and falling, through lack of public support, its proprietor is now in jail, charg ed with swindling his partner and the creditors of the concern. This cue is but a sample of many, and indicative of an age of sham. False pretence has been reduced of late years to a collegiate sys tem, and turns out daily graduates In all degrees of fraud. From the corrupt legislator, bartering the interests of his constituents and the country for a bribe, down to the pettifogging Tombs law yer—from the millionaire forger of Wall. street down to a penny-shaving Dalai grocer—there ap pears to be a sliding male of moral lashes, ovinoing a destitution of honesty in alt classes of society. How much the prevailing habit of living for show and glare, instead of for worthy life objects. may have to do with this general laxity of principle, might tarnish a curious subjeot for research. Last night a Staten Islander named Sawyer blundered into a den of thieves In West street, and was set upon by a gang, who beat and robbed him, and a boatman who tried to assist him. The thieves were this morning sent to the Tombs There are scores of these thief-saloons, not only in the river streets, but in Broadway, where it is as much as &than. life is worth to enter, if known to hair' money. Oar l,te Surrogate, A. W. Bradford, Is warmly recommended for a nomination to the judgeship made vaoantby Judge Duer's decease. Two oases of yellow fever on Staten Island, out side of Quarantine, are reported, but the Board of Balkh say they were of parties who daily bathed and boated In the vicinity of infested vessels. The first wee a lady named Miss Susan Cross, residing In a sea-side cottage—the other her aervant. The first ease was fatal. A fracas took plue thie afternoon in the May or's °Moe, between ex-Reeorder Smith and a pollee Ot ßeer named Hilliard, the latter knocking the former from his seat. Hilliard wu held in $2,000 by the Mayor, to newer for the assault. A lot of 103 ounces gold dust, supposed to have been stolen in Philadelphia, wan offered for sale in this city to-day.

[From the New York Express of lut analog ] We bave received this morning the following statement from the best authority, which, if true, may perhaps show the public that the gallant Con tain waa not so bad as represented. We may add that ono of our reporters has seen the documents lat question, as well es the agreement alluded to, and, from having already seen the handwriting of Coi. Blount, believes the signatures and hand writing to be genuine. It will also be perceived that our etetement published on the evening of the 24th of July. that Mies Blount left her father on the previous Wednesday, and that he bad not heard of her whereabouts up to that day, We cor rect. On the day Mies Blount left Maillard's, in Broadway, on pretence of taking a walk, elle im mediately proceeded to where Captain de Riviere was, who took her to Staten Island, and hired apartments for her in a hotel near the Vanderbilt landing. Mere she remained one week, until the Captain returned her to her father , whereupon Colonel 'Blount drew up andehrood_tiv- 1 -"• "g release : The commented by me before.

Col. and Mrs. Blount then sailed for Savannah . in the steamer Alabama, and the Captain foliate ed in the steamer Huntsville, both parties sailing on the same day- The agreement made at this time betereenVol: Blount and Capt. De Riviera was, we are inform ed, that if the latter should bring back his daugh• ter, be would agree to his marriage with her and would remain his friend. It Is reported that the Colonel further Paid that his pride prevented him from putting , this agreement into writing in New York, but that ho would most assuredly do It in Savannah. On these conditions it was that Mies Blount was delivered up to bar father. Oa reaching Savannah, however, the Colonel (so says our informant) broke his agreement, and muted the arrest of thegallant Zonave on the same charges as theme preferred against him in New York. This so maddened De Riviera that he determined to enter into no more arrangements, but to put the whole matter before the public, and let them be the Judges, and he therefore conoluded to ge into court for that purpose. fiat a great excitement prevailed against him ; sense five or six thousarid persons turned out, and determined to take him out of the hands of the officers and lynch him at once. With much diffi culty he was brought into court, and on prodnoing the document printed above, as well as other let ters, signed by Colonel Blount, and authorising him to go to Savannah, the opinion of the public was entirely changed, and the Captain was not again molested. On the following day, Captain de Rtvlere was again brought up, and Colonel Blount wasplaced on the witness gaud for the purpose or proving his charges, but so it le said be weld not substantiate them. e knew nothing, he said, of Captain do R. having abducted hie daughter, he bad merely heard that he had done co. and the court accord. Isgly discharged the muted, remarking at the same time, that he did se with pleasure. The con sequence was, says our informant, "that the Cap lain had the whole population on his side;-be had not a friend when he went to Savannah, he had hundreds when be went away." Meantime au agreement was drawn up between Colonel Blount and Captain de Riviera, one clause of which was that It should not be made public, bat there was an understanding that the, latter might show it to his friends. A portion of this agreement bound Colonel Blount to stop all snits against Captain de Maier's, and gave the latter permission to correspond with Miss Blount through her mother. It was signed by the high "centred.: log parties," and witnessed by their lawyers. , The general tenor of the document to Most fa- 1 Terabit, to do linters, and is highly aeUefaotory to him.

The arrangement made contemplated the playing of eighteen games of ono hundred points each— three between each of the players. But Mr. White being ill, played but three games (with Mr. Bird) so that only twelve games were played. Mr. Bird did not enter as a contestant for the puree, but consented to play to add interest to the game. Masers Bird and Cavanagh led off with three games—all of Irbil* were won by Cavanagh. There was splendid playing on both sides. Nys• nagh had rune of 40, 47, 39 and 71 points. Bird had runs of 18, 24 and 51. The next three games were played by Chryetal and Bird—the two Bret being won by Btrd, and the last by Chrystal, in wbloh he made a meg nitieent inn of 74 points, mainly by " nursing the belle." The third test was between White and Bird, in . which the latter won the three comes. White made one run of 20 and two of 22—Bird several, from 19 to 33. The last three gamed of the match were contested by Chrystal and Cavanagh, In which the former won the second, and the latter the first and third. These games were well contested, and there was much beautiful playing. In power of "nursing the balls," and delicate touckee, Chrystal ap peared to be superior, though Kavanagh was not much behind in that respect, while in bold, dash ing bits, and knowledge of the table, be was de cidedly master. Chrystal made two runs of 31, and one of 38; Cavanagh of 22, 20, 37, and 42. At the conclusion, Mr. Phelan stated that Mr. Cavanagh was the champion of the trial, which announcement elicited the hearty applause of the company present. Pour games were then played by Mr. Phelan, of New York, against Mr. Cavanagh, three of .which were won by Mr. Phelan. .This was a capital dis play of skill, and excited a very marked degree of interest. Mr: Phelan had runs of 58 and 60, and of 67 stopped by the termination of the game, Mr. Cavanagh also had several rune of about 30 sub.

Daily occupied the spot, had never, until recently, passed from the possession of its original owners. It had been occupied as a private dwelling, - and was long an object ofmnoh interest. The nhim ney-piece, in the style of many old dwellings, was ornamented with pictured tiles, some twenty five of which have been carefully preserved in frames, and are now in the counting-room of the establishment. They have the mark-of " Sadler., Liverpool," and bear date in the beginning of the last century, while as specimens of art, they must, at that period, hive ranked high, being fully equal to any of the wood engravings of that era.- In style, they would have done no discredit to the pencil of Ilegarth or, Orulkshank, some of them being more than ordinarily provocative of mirth, and a few rather gross in (Ammeter for the fasti dious taste of the present age.

The old Arnold mansion, having been used so frequently for pleasure parties, was shorn of nearly, if not quite all, these relics, and it is exceedingly doubt• tot whether there have been any preserved by the proprietor, not only as connecting links between the present and the pant, but as samples of, an art now unknown. MILITARY. MUDBUB.—A good deal of ex citement has bean made recently among our mill tary circles by certain alleged " high-handed pro ceedings" on the .part of sundry persons, who, under the pretence that they were "old DAM bars," entered the hall of Monroe Guords, on Saturday night last, and carried off the arms from the rack. To express their sentiments with referencia to this outrage, a meeting of citizens was held on Wednesday evening, at the armory of the Guards. Dr. E. Paneoast, of the Nineteenth ward, was called to the chair; John Erider, First ward, and Jacob Moyer, Eighteenth ward, were yioe Presidents, and Captain J. H. Reynolds officiated as Secretary. The object of the meeting was stated, when Captain Small Informed those present that on. tbe preceding Saturday some persons applied to the janitor for admission to the atmory„ and obtained access by representing themselves as "old members of the Guards," who were desirous of exhibiting the hall to some of their friends. The janitor soon disoovered his mistake, and requested them to retire. This request wee refused. The janitor being anxious to atone for his blunder, adt pted a .novel ruse. He looked the strangers in the armory and sent at once for Captain Smail, Before the. Captain had arrived the strangers had broken down the door and carried off the arms, inoluding some vita& were the private property of the mem. bora. The pretext, according to the Captain—for we know nothing of the merits of the squabble was that the Guards had not appeared at the last inspeotion, and were aeordingly to be disbanded. Captain Small says that he has received no offioial notice to be present at this inspection, and further, that be was waiting authority from the'Adjutant General to transfer his company to another brigade. The meeting then passed a series of rather pep pering resolutions, after which the meeting adjourned. • A Came Nuisitstoz.—A nuisance exists to the northern part of the city, which is not only annoying to the immediate residents, but no. healthy, and whiels places as in no enviable light to visitors to our city by the Baltimore railroad. At Fiterrater and 'Seventeenth streets is ereeted en extensive drying establishMent, inthe prosecu tion of whose. business there is employed a vast amount of unsavory and fetid mixtures; and frourthe large vats this Is daily emitted—the fluid running directly into the• gutters, which it over flows for some distance, and then pours, in an un. interrupted torrent, down Seventeenth to Prime. At this point it overflows thepremises of the Bal timore railroad depot, notidthetandhsysimsre • • ofilie - aln - paify to drain it off. Were - this over flow simply one of water, there would not be the same sense of complaint; but it carries with its flow such an overwhelming stench as to render it really a serious nuisance. It beconies particularly. so when the rays of a scorching sun boat upon it. The president of the road has directed the at tention of the Board of Health to the matter, but there appears to have been no action taken by that body with tolerance to it. It is contemplated to present the faets . lo the Grand Jury for their ac tion, should the Board of Health still continue to neglect action in the premises.

A few minutes past twerve o'clock, the opgrator at the Central Sta tion had his attention called to the working of box four, which is boated at the corner of Second and South. He immediately summoned the at tention of the boll-ringer, and requested him to take a look in that direction, and see it there was anything like a fire. He did so, and an swered that he could see nothing. lie was then requested by the operator to ring the State•Houee bell, which he did, and eleven minutes after he . began to ring fire and smoke both made their ap pearance from the building in'whieh the fire origi nated. Had it not been for these admirable tele grapltio appliances, and the effoienoy of its opera torsi, a destruction of property vastly larger must have boon the consequence. •, A Bon Gen.—A man named Manes was taken into custody, at Fifteenth and Filbert streets, on Thursday night, on the charge of drunken and disorderly conduct. He was playing rather a bold game—that of representing himself as a policeman. Ito were on hie breast ono of the badges of the old city pollee. There was an adds• tional charge against him of highway robbery, it being alleged that he met a woman, named Mary Gaul, some three weeks since, at Juniper and Market streets, when he seised her reticule. son tattling a purse with Si, and made tracks. The accused was hold to answer at court, by Alderman Snider, in SI,OOO bail. 1109 VITAL GABS.—A German, named Henry Horonolty, aged thirty years, was taken to the hospital yesterday morning, having badly injured himself by jumping out of the third-story window of a honise on Shippen-street wharf, during the fire. Ho was employed by ldr. Peters, cabinet- maker, and was sleeping ho the shop when the fire broke out. He was awakened by a suffocating smoke, and seeing the fire, attempted to get out at the door, but being mum eosin!, he leaped from the back window Into the yard below. Ms ankle was dialooated, and his lege badly bruised. OonnEorioN.—Frank Poll, whose arroat we noticed In Thursday morning's Press, charged with the larceny of a watch, from a barkeeper at the Military Hall, Library Minot, called upon no yesterday to say that the ohargo against hint was a malicious one. Ile asserts that he found the watch in a water-closet and restored it to the owner. Although looked up for a hearing, when arraigned before Aldermen Ogle yesterday, Stokes failed to appear against him, and he was at onoe set at liberty. RODDED or ' A WAToll.—Yesterday after noon, between one and two o'olook, a gentleman, named John McLaughlin, had his pocket picked of a valuable gold watch, while standing at the bul letin board of the Inquirer, at the corner of Third and Carter streets. Mr. McLoughlin had also a $5O note in his pocket, which fortunately escaped the light-fingered operations. Suspicion 'attaches to two well-known pickpockets, who were seen loitering around the neighborhood.

MILITARY EXCURSION.—The Independent Grays design making an trunnion to Wilmington, Delaware, on Monday morning next They will be accompanied by the United States Cornet Band, and those who participate in the affair will, doubtless, have a most agreeable and, pleasant day. [For The Press.] As I was passing the corner of Third and Cal lowhill streets I wail grossly insulted by a coin"- pony of yoting rowdies who make it a practise to insult every person that passes by. They are al lowed to assemble there without any interference of the police. I am not the only parson who has complained of this evil !lava we not police enough to stop it?
