Nothing (says the Weckhj Register) ever struck more deeply in the Cauadian hi ait than the banging of Kiel by th>'ir own party to gratify the unnatuial blood-paesion of Oiangemen. As we noted at the tiny there were indignation meetings held in the province ; and th ■ Canadian colony of New England supported their brethren at their annual convi ntions. The clergy were not neutral, little as they caied for Fuel, and they gave up the churches to immense congregations who atic ided the solemn Kequiems sung for the dead patriot. All tin* wis i xpecte 1 from the excitable Frenchman. It was hoped tha r when his passion was ended, his resolutions would be forgotten. But the other day an elec'ion was held in the Conservative province of Quebec. It was the test of the resolutions. The sp->echmaking had ended, and the real work had begun. The provincial governin 'nt was I'o'iservtrive. It hit been given out that Sir John Ma'-douald's kind niilu -nee had much to do with the elevation of Cardinal I'ascbereau. All in vain. The Conservatives were defeated m feir o-ily strong-hold. The ghost of Riel now sits at the Cibinet councils in Ottawa, and vainly Sir John tries to explain how he did no' shed French blood t ) season a Bjyne dinner. In all probability the elections will occur this yeir, and the Conserva lye party will take a back seat for mmy years: and ecrtainly we sh ill not pity them.

Complaints have been hear! in England (says the s^. James Gazette), as to the unneccessary length to which lawsuits and crim'« nal null are occasionally extended ; but matters appear to be far woise in Italy, where a case of the most simple character has just bjen allowed to la^t more than a month ; thanks in a great measure to the jury insisting on having a tragedy in five acts and in verse load to them as pan of the evidence. The trial was for defamition of charactei ; the plaintiff being Signor Cavallotti, who is a dramatic author and a Republican deputy in the I-alian Chamber, Signor (Javallotu, who moaes ly styles himself the Italian Vi :tor Hugo, brought an action against Signor Delia Vecchia. a journalist who is a staunch sippoitei of ihe present Ministry, and who bad accused him of .ilairiaiising a Spanish drama ; of having changed his opinions from Monarc ncal to Republican ; and of having caused the secretary, who. it ap|(ais, blew his brains out atter robbing his employer. Tne case lasted a fall month ; the result being that defendant was sentenced to a line of £40 and a month's imprisonment. Signor (.avallotti has no reason to complain of the trial ; for not only has he punished his defamer, but has obtained a splendid advertisement for his plays.
