American Arms as Seen by the English. — 
The London Times, in an article on the superi¬ 
ority of the American guns, both large and small, 
over the English, says: — “The most defective 
breach-loader known to the Americans is an im¬ 
measurably more serviceable arm than the needle 
gun -which has started the War Department Into 
a spasm of activity, while some of the beet of 
their rifles have scarcely been seen in this 
country. It is exactly the same with their 
navy; while we are hesitating and delaying, the 
Americans are working and finishing.” 
12,000 effective men; they haveforty-four cannon. 
There are on the rolls 34,000 militia, of which 
only 25,000 are considered effective. 
From Toronto. Oct. 5, we learn that “prepa¬ 
rations are actively progressing for the trial of 
the Fenians captured last June, at the approach¬ 
ing assizes The best legal talent has been en¬ 
gaged on both sides. It is understood that 
M. C. Cameron, M. P., has been engaged in 
behalf of the FenianB.” 
An Ottawa dispatch of the 5th inst., sayB “it 
Is reported on good authority that the Canadian 
delegation to England on the Confederation will 
consist of Hobs. Messrs. Cartier and Longevin 
of Lower Canada, and McDonall and McDougall 
of Upper Canada.” 
Three Colonels of Engineers have arrived in 
Ottawa, it is supposed, with the view of forti¬ 
fying the city.

Emigrants from Sweden. 
Tnc American Emigrant Company is doing a 
good work in bringing Scandinavian emigrants 
to this country. Previous to the cholera panic 
in England the emigrants were brought through 
that country and shipped at Liverpool; but 
when the local authorities prohibited this the 
agent of the company promptly chartered a 
steamer, the Mauritius, which arrived at New 
York on the 5th, from Sweden direct, bringing 
655 passengers, ay well and all seeking homes in 
this western world. This is the first steamer 
that has ever brought emigrants direct to the 
United States from the Scandinavian countries, 
and she was obliged to clear in the first place for 
a port in Scotland, as the laws of Sweden allow 
only 400 emigrants to ship on one vessel for this 
country, and the Government would gladly pre¬ 
vent any from coining, if possible. These emi¬ 
grants are among the best that come to our 
shores. Most of them are possessed of some 
means; they are healthy, virtuous and industri¬ 
ous, and make valuable citizens of our Western 
States, where most of them go, and as soon os 
they have earned a little money they send it 
back to their relatives in the old country to ena¬ 
ble them also to come over. Heretofore the 
number of Scandinavians arriving in this coun¬ 
try has been very small, but last year over three 
thousand came over under the auspices of the 
American Emigrant Company, and this year the 
number will be doubled.
