CANADIAN ANNEPAT/ON.
The project of Canadian annexation, in
settlement of the Alabama claims, with
the' joint consent of England and the
Colonists, begins to attract attentio in
governmental and diplomatic circles, and
is by some regarded as likely to become
a prominent feature of Gen. Grant's ad.
ministration. The views expressed on
this; subjectby part of the American
press, the•favorable response of English
newspapers, and the.demand for annex
ation.among the Colonies, especially in
Nova Scotia, have encouraged belief in
the feasibility of the scheme, if managed
with diplomatic tact and a carefhl regard
to English honor. Objections to the pos
sibility of its accomplishment, and
doubts as to the policy and safety of such
an enlargement of the Republic, are
strongly urged by Individuals, but it is
confidently asserted by others that pub
lic opinion is gradually setting in favor
of our acceptance of the Canaclas, should
they be tendered by Great Britain, as the
surest mode of - harmonizing the interests
and ending the jealousies between the
two countries and affording a basis of
permanent and cordial peace.
The imports into the United States
from Canada and the British North
American possessions on the Atlantlefor
the fiscal years 1867-68,- coMpared with
those of 18t34-65, the hut complete
years . , of the Reciprocity Treaty, show

(By Telegiaph to the Plttatnitith Gazette.)
LIVERPOOL, April 10.—Midnight.--The
banquet to Charles Dickens occurred at
St. George's Tian this evening.. About
seven kindred gentlemen sat down', and
there were besides many spectators. The
hall was gracefully decorated with flags
and banners. The proceedings were
characterized throughout with good feel
ing and enthusiasm. Sir Henry Hough
ton and Hepworth Dixon presided. Af
ter the usual toasts, Lord Dufferin made
a pleasant speech. Heregretted . that
Dickeni had not entered the field'of poli
tics. He would have been a power in the
House (4' Commons and a fellow peer of •
Macanley. Lord Lytton, at lenh in
Dickens
glowing terms, proposed the he al t h of
. '
with much M e mo t ion ickens
ndseees aro, and •
i rpod. He -
felt, he said, that he wasun-
able to do justice to his . feel- •
inga. Liverpool, after London, was al
ways foremost in his estimation. She "-
was always ready to respond, • open
hearted, spontaneously and munificently
to all appeals to aid art and literature:
Relative to remarks of Lord Dufferin, ---
Dickens ikaid after mature deliberation
he had decided to stand and fall by lit
erature and not enter politics. Thus far
he had not regretted his
_decision. An-._
thony Trollope also responded to a senti
ment. He eulogized Washington ,
Irving, Mr. Motley and the American •
people. The latter were always willing
to recognize publicly the honor due to -
literary men. He closed by hinting
Charles Dickens as Minister to. Washing
ton would be beneficial to both countries.
