, OCT Our Female Academy, under the
onspices of Mr. Lindsly, and the Misses
Si. John, was opened on Tuesday last.
We would call the attention of parents
and guardians to the advertisement of
the Trustees in this day's paper
05" We find many appointments by
the new Administration in ihe papers of
the day, but shall only publish such as
may be of a local nature.
Vreen TV, Caldwell It will be seen
)y our paper to day, thai this gentleman
a candidate, for' Congress from this
' strict, "on his own hook" as the say
; is From the situation of the Dis
.ict, at present, we know of no one
more likely to ensure the success of the
Democracy, and would suggest to the
party 10 dispense with any Convention
this year, but unite on him. These
Conventions have,- of late, become un
popular, and tending to give excused to
those unprincipled demagogues whose
claims none would have thought worthy
of consideration ; it certainly looks reaa
nable that parlies should unite on one
man or set of men to bear their standard,
but when there is a chance, there aN
ways are some men who belong to no
party, and thus distract both, carrying
tl.'e public favor by their self styled In'
dependence. The whigs will doubtless
.unite on one ol the gentlemen spoken
of they have a majority in the District,
md are too senile to allow a division
1 their ranks. We think Mr. Steele,
5 Rockingham, their most unobjection
able, but Gen. Dockery their most
prominent candidate His "firmness of
purpose" can't be ruled off the track.

were ten initiated the first night.
As regards Mountain Lodge, of this
place, we understand there are quiie a
number of propositions before it, and are
pleased to notice the prosperity cf the
Order in general.
The Annexation Question in Caria'
da. Many of the Canada press are
discussing the question of annexation to
the United States, and they succeed in
making out its advantages quite as
well as they ever once did in showing
the opposite 6ide of the question. These
discussions are curious, and not a little
interesting to the people on this side of
the St. Lawrence, who may one day be
called upon to add another State to the
Union north of New York and the East.
In theKingston Chronicle.a writer say s
that three alternatives are presented
to the people of the provinces.
The first is a return to the pre-exis
ting system, with the exception that the
principle of responsible government
should be continued.
The second is severance of the con
nection with England, and annexation
to the United States.
The third, a Federal Union of all the
British North America Provinces, un
der the dominion of our beloved Sove
reign. The third proposition is the one that
most meets the approval of the writer,
and he says in answer to the objection,
that under a Federal Union they would-
become independent, that the destiny of
the Colonies is inevitably to become in
dependent, but a Federal Uf.ion will not
unduly hasten that eveni. With re
gard to annexation, the Colonist ol the
6th instant makes the following an
nouncement :
"Now as the North American Colo
nies are at present situated, they are on
the eve ol making new commercial con
nections, which must necessarily be
followed by new political connections
also. We have no longer, it may be
said, any inteiest in continuing a con
nection, which, in lime of peace, of
lers no perceptible advantage, and in
the event of war would exposes us a?
cruelly to the belligerent operations
of our neighbors. Circumstances now
betoken that it will not be long belore
commercial preference or. the one hand,
and colonial and imperial differences
on the other, will carry into effect what
has been so solemnly predicted.'
The Alontreal Patriot speaks of a
leaning of the Anglo-Saxons at Toronto
towards annexation with their brethren
of the United States, and the- witness
says it would do away with frontier
Custom Houses, introduce American
capital, raise the value ol fixed proper
ty, make the St. Lawrence the great
highway ot Western produce, yc.
British Empire in the East. The
British Sovereignty in India, the growth
of the Ia9t hundred years, comprehends
"n territory ot more u(u.. "- uie
size ot France, more than ten limes the
size ol the British Islands; governing
more then one hundred and fifty mil
lions of subjects, 'ind influencing one
hundrtd and fifty millions more.' 1 he 1
cotton imparled from India is now one
hundred millions of pounds, the stcgar
eighty thousand tons, silk .vo millions
ol pounds; the value ot the raw and
manufactured articles from 6ilk is esti
mated at eight millions of dollars. In
dia exports thirieen thousand tons ot
coffee, within one thousand of the en
tire consumption ol Great Britain. The
quantity of wool exported is six millions
of pounds. Great Britain receives
from India eight or nine millions pounds
weight of pepper, besides vast quanti
ties ol opium, tobacco, indigo, saltpetre,
hides, gineer, nutmegs, cinnamon,
cloves, rhubarb, and various medicines
and mineral salts'. 1 he cultivation ot
