An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, b but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill arc equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who arc suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without-which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

The Canadian Parliament will meet for the des patch . of business (Attie 29th inst, and a question will arise of immense importance to that flourishing colony, as it affects its most delicate relations with the Imperial Government. Of late years the mother country has wisely abstained from vexatious inter ference with the local affairs of its transmarine possessions, yielding to the inhabitants an almost exclusive right of ruling themselves. As at home, the majority in Parliament practically nominate the Ministers, and the Ministers distribute the patronage of office. The Legislative Assembly make the laws, frame the tariff, sanction loans, impose taxation. A volunteer force is embodied, and the privilege of bearing arms for the defence of their territory dis tinctly proclaims the freedom of the citizens. Ca nada is, indeed, united to Great Britain by a silken thread, and the alliance, based on moral influences alone, may be deemed voluntary. But the question now pending, which has already overthrown one Ad.- ministration, and may displace an other, involves the exercise of the Royal prerogative in a form and manner so peculiar as to be truly exceptional. The point at issue is the selection of the future capital of the country : and, to make the controversy now menacing better understood we propose briefly to sketch the history of past events which have led to the present crisis. „ 7, r :tee ~-~ * t o-11z! - slitenvilmt a ; .frd - - Trench ~ The Dutch steamOr steamers Gironde an_ _ Balli.

RUM 50,000 G allon s. THE OCEAN MAIL. SERVICE. SounamrTmc, Jan. 27.--The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Ripon, Captain Munro, sailed hence to-day for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria, with the Bombay mails, 291 boxes containing £76,195 in specie and £559 in jewelry, a full cargo, and 53 first and 35 second-class passen gers. Among the passengers who embarked are Lieutenants Bartholomew and C. J. Plaughten, and among those who proceeded via Marseilles are Lord Rendlesham, Capt._ I. IL. Sladen, Capt. arid Mrs. Hawkins,-and Capt. and Mrs. Miller. The above named company also despatched their steamer Alhambra, Capt. J. D. Steward, to-day with the mails for Vigo, Oporto, and Lisbon. She has nine passengers, including Baroness Vati Aerness and Lieut. de Kautzon, and 2,000 sovereigns for Lisbon. The Union Screw Company's steamer Phoebe, Capt. Clark, arrived here early this morning from the Cape of Good Hope, last from Plymouth. She biings 30 passengers, and a cargo comprising 46 casks and cases, 25 pipes and 50 hhds. of wine, 92 baleS of wool, 2,000 horns, 1,995 bags and 25 tons of copper ore, 5 cases of ivory tusks, 4 cases of ostrich feathers, 15 cases of fibre,"B packages of sundries, and £B2O in specie. On the 29th of December , the Phoebe spoke the Dutch ship Schoonerbond, bound from Batavia for Amster dam ; same day the English ship Timandra, from Manilla for London, 89 days out. At 4.30 p.m. on the 4th inst. the Phogbe hove to, and a boat came alongside from her Majesty's steamer Industry for a supply of coal, which Captain Clark was not able to spare ; the Industry was bound to Ascension. We see by the . Cape papers that tile Union Com pany has submitted proposals to the Cape Govern ment for the extension of mail communication with the Mauritius by the establishment of branch steamers touching at Port Elizabeth and Natal. The estimated guarantee is said to be £22,ooo—one-half to be defrayed by the home Government. The mer chants of Graham's Town and Port Elizbeth pre. sented Captain Clark, of the Phoebe, with a check for £75, in acknowledgment of 'the valuable services he had rendered to the mercantile com munity of the eastern province in having performed two voyages in time to enable people to reply to their letters by the homeward vessel.

MEETING 'OF THE PROPRIETORS OF DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting of the proprietors and renters of Drurv-lane Theatre was held in the salOOfl a the establislment. Mr. B. B. CABBELL, M.P., F.R.S., was called to the chair ;. and amongt the proprietors and renters present we observed Lord Tenterden, Lord G. Len nox, Sir Wm. De Bathe, Captain Painther, Mr. G. B. Allen, Mr. Arden, J.P., Mr. Ibbetson, Mr. Raw linson, Mr. T. M. Nelson; the architect, Mr. E. T. Smith; the lessee, &c. The CHAIRMAN, having explained the object of the assembly, called upon the Secretary to read the report of the managing committee. The `report stated that the committee had great pleasure in stating to the proprietors that they had at length received the award from Mr. Lockyer, the arbiter, as to the long-pending question between them and the proprietors in respect of the repairs of the theatre, and it would. be their duty to sec the directions contained in the award duly complied with. The receipts of the year, adding the balance of £217 lls. 7d. of the previous year, amount to £4,858 6s. 11d., the payments to £4,480 19s. id., leaving a cash balance of £337 7s. 10d. The receipts comprise the sum of £4,000 for the year's rent paid by the lessee, and a further sum of £155 paid by him for 31 extra performances. The payments com prise the sum of £1,639 ls. lid., for five quarters' rent, paid to the Duke of Bedford on account of the arrears due to his grace, and the sum of £1,050 paid to the trustees of the new renters. The rates and taxes and all other accounts, with the exception of items under £lOO, had been paid up to Christmas. The committee were again enabled to conclue their report by adverting with satisfaction to the success which had attended the commencement of the pre sent season. This report having been received and adopted, Mr. T. M. NELSON, the architect to the proprie tors of the theatre, was then called upon to present his report as to the state of the building, which stated that the reinstatement of the large skylights over the property room and a portion of the other extensive repairs referred to in his former report, have been satisfactorily executed. An important addition has been made to the new water supply and fire-main, by which a constant supply is afforded to the cis terns on both sides of the house, and the water for scenic effects is also furnished without diminishing the supply required in case of fire. The frequent inspections at the Theatre Royal Drury-lane have tended much to the greater security of the building and the safety of the public. In conclusion, the report stated that, although the theatre has been erected upwards of fifty years, it is (with the ex• ception of a few matters which are capable of im provement) unsurpassed in this country, not only on account of its architectural proportions, and its adaptation for dramatic performances, but for this no less important reason, viz., the perfect security that every person may feel, whether in pit, boxes, or galleries, in case of any sudden alarmor panic. The architect's report was received, and directed to be entered upon the minutes. A long discussion then took place on the subject of a •reconstruction of the managing committee. Lord'G. Lennox, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Pyefinch, Mr. Scal, Mr. G. Baugh Allen, and several other pro prietors and renters, took part therein, and it was contended that the introduction of new blood into the committee was necessary, •in order to obtain better terms from the lessee of the theatre than a rental of £4,000 per annum. A RENTER warmly contended that £4,000 per annum was a most inadequate sum, seeing that in the time of Elliston the rental produced by the theatre was £lO,OOO per annum. Formerly the average rent to each renter, taken over a period of thirteen years, was £l3 on each £5OO share; but since that period the rental, had only averaged £2 14s. 6d. per share, which, setting down the value of the theatre at £lOO,OOO, was not equivalent to 1 per cent. lie thought with care a larger amount of interest might be obtained for their outlay. (Hear.) Mr. SHARP moved that the committee be reor ganised, and consist of the following gentlemen : viz., Lord G. Lennox, Mr. C. Dance, Mr. G. Pons ford, Capt. Painther, and Mr. Thompson. Mr. THOMPSON was understood to second the motion. Mr. ARDEN, J.P., thought any attempt to disturb the unanimity which existed in the present manage ment would be a most unwise step. It had already resulted in giving them a larger dividend than usual, and if allowed to remain might tend still further to increase it. Mr. SEALE said such a proposal, in the face of the very satisfactory report they had heard read was not at all justifiable. (Hear, hear.) The renters, he con sidered, had very little to complain of, when it was recollected that the proprietors paid the Duke of Bedford as ground landlord, as well as increasing their dividend. Lord GEORGE LENNOX was sure the present managing committee had been guided by one motive, and that was to do the best they could for the property intrusted to their care. The object of the committee ought not to be to jump at the highest offer they might receive from a proposed lessee. That had not always been found the most satisfactory course. It was their desire to do the best they could for the concern. The proposition on being put was negatived, and the existing committee re-appointed. The CHAIRMAN observed before theyseparated that he was sure the proprietors and renters would agree with him that they should fail in their duty if they did not tender to the present lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith, their cordial thanks for his management and punctuality. The motion having been put and carried, Mr. E. T. SMITH briefly responded. A similar compliment having been awarded to the chairman, the - proceedings closed. ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 18.—After a long interval of silence, uninterrupted ever since the departure , of Mr. Wale from Cairo some six weeks ago, a steamer has at length arrived from Jeddah, bringing us some slight addition to the information you already possess touching the proceedings there of the three Imperial Commissioners. Particulars are as yet unknown. The operations of the Commission have been conducted with strict secrecy, and very little has transpired to the general public beyond the fact that the first portion of its labours—that re lating to what may be termed the criminal ques tion—had been brought to a close, and that the Commissioners were_ entering upon the discussion of the next point, that of inquiring into the claims for indemnities and establishing the amounts due to the sufferers in the late disturbances. The meshes of the conspiracy which resulted in the massacre of last year have been fully unravelled, and, when all details become known, it is said they will'be found to afford a new and striking illustra tion in support of the 'oft repeated adage, that the most elaborate fictions can seldom attain the dra matic strangeness of simple truth. Few of your readers will feel much surprised at hearing that the men who suffered death last year to stay the stern demands of outraged Christenclom consisted of merely a small number of the bumbler instruments of others more powerful, but no less cowardly and treacherous. Indeed, lam informed that the greater number of those who composed the tribunal by which they were condemned are found theMselves to have been among the chief instigators of the massacre, their own hands imbued with the very blood in expiation of which they consigned their wretched accomplices to a miserable death. And 'yet justice is again delayed. Scyid Pasha, the Ottoman Commissioner, declares that he has no powers from the Porte beyond that of joining in the inquiries of his guropean colleagues. This really seems the strangest part of all, and the question must necessarily rise to every lip, What does it mean ? Can it be that the intrigues of a few miserable fanatics are even in this instance allowed to prevail, and that the Turks are willing tolforfeit the goodwill of every honest man, and to suffer themselves to be held up before the world as devoid of every sense either of justice or of shame ? The analogy of other cases of a similar nature, though of less notoriety, might lead us to fear that it really is so, that the enemies of Turkey are right, and that dementation is indeed preparing the way for utter destruction; but the information before the public is still defective, and it may therefore be necessary to suspend our judgement. It may be that Seyid Pasha will still receive the authority he was believed to hold, or at all events that the Borte will be able to explain the delays there have been in the fulfilment of the pledges it openly gave to the civilised world, though even then the Govern ment of the Sultan will not be exonerated from the blame of having so repeatedly allowed appear ances to weigh heavily both against its officials, and through them against itself. According to our latest intelligence, the two European Commission ers, unless Seyid Pasha during the interim should receive fuller powers, would return from Jeddah immediately on coming to a conclusion on the question of the indemnities. A few days ago all Alexandria was alive with expectation, looking for the 'arrival of the Euryalus with Prince Alfred. A premature report had got abroad that the frigate had left Malta on her way to Egypt, and preparations were made to follow the example set at other places visited by his Royal Highness - , and to 'give the Royal midshipman, if possible, is brilliant a reception as that with which lie has been greeted in her Majesty's dominions, It is still hoped that he will visit Alexandria to wards the end of next month, and in that case the arrangements previously made will probably be adhered to. According to the preconcerted pro gramme, when the Euryalus is reported in sight, one of the Viceroy's steamers will put off to sea to meet her with our consul and some of the leading members of the Egyptian Government. The moment she drops her anchor in the harbour a Royal salute will be thundered forth from the forts and Egyptian war vessels, to be again repeated when the young Prince sets his foot on shore. There then will be public receptions and a grand ball, which the Vice roy has signified his intention of attending, accom panied by the heads of the several departments of his Government. Our diplomatic body will, of course, also be present , at the /del, the persons of the consular officials. A visit this winter from the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia is likewise spoken of. The adoption of the reformed system of currency has been deferred to the 15th of February, so as to allow full time for a complete and careful revision of the Government tariff valuations of foreign coins. For this purpose a special council has been formed at Cairo, and we learn that they are about to apply to the principal European Governments for official statements of the precise assay fineness and weight of their respective coinages. In addition to the revised tariff we have the promise of a good supply of small coin from the Cairo Mint, which of itself will constitute a great and undoubted boon ; but it is very generally felt that the only real and thorough remedy for the sad state of confusion at which we have arrived consists in furnishing the country with an ample and continued supply of native coinage, and of adopting one single metal at a fixed standard as the legal tender of the country. But this course it is feared would be attended with almost insuper able difficulties. The revenues of Egypt have of late years been burdened with heavy expenses, and would at present be ill able to bear the additioual charges which the execution of that plan would necessitate. We know by former experience that the native coinage would at once be seized upon by hoarders at even any sacrifice, and that none of the new money would come into circulation until the foreign coins now lying hidden throughout the country had been displaced to the very last. This alone would involve a considerable outlay, from which the country would in reality not derive an atom of benefit. We must therefore of necessity content ourselves with the present measures, which after all will constitute a decided improvement,and we may trust to the future for a more favourable combination of circumstances to admit of the appli cation of a more thorough remedy. Mr. Brunel has left Cairo on a trip to the upper country, and Lord Dufferin has also sailed for the latitudes of Southern Egypt and Nubia. Mr. Brunel, on his return to Cairo, will probably visit Suez, in accordance with a request made to him by the Viceroy, who is desirous of having his opinion as to putting into execution the long talked of project of transferring the port of Suez to the Bay of Ataka, some 10 miles south of the present landing place. The great inducement for effecting this change consists in the depth of water on this part of the coast. It would admit of the largest steamers being discharged close in shore, instead of lying, as at present, at a distance of some five miles from the landing place. But a breakwater would be necessary to protect the shipping from the prevalent north-east winds. Mr. Robert Stephenson paid a cursory visit to tha spot, prior to his departure by last mail for Marseilles, and his opinion seems generally favourable to Suez, with the impression that the expense of construct ing the jetty would far exceed what was generally supposed, and that the cost might even attain the sum of £500,000 sterling.

THE AFRICAN SETTLEMENTS. The population of the island of St. Helena, so famous from its association with the name of Napo leon the Great, is not given in the blue book before us, but it is stated that the births in the island in 1856 we: 101, the marriages 81, and the. deaths 158. As the deaths had considerably exceeded the births for three years, it would seem to follow that the island is being gradually depopulated. There were 13 schools and 740 scholars.

The execution of Parang, lately condemned for the double crime of violating and then murdering his own niece, a girl of 16, took place yesterday morning on the open space in front of the prison of La Roquette. Both at the trial and ever since, he constantly denied his guilt, although the evidence was of the clearest character. He was frequently, since his condemnation, visited by his wife and mother, both of whom, particularly the latter, im plored him to pay attention to the exhortations of the chaplain, the Abb6 Hugon. The prisoner always received the reverend gentleman with satisfaction, but always maintained that his condemnation was a judicial mistake. " Que voulez-vous ?" he was accustomed to say, " I'm now going to be punished for others' bad conduct. If I had not been formerly condemned for other things I should not now be here." When the chaplain yesterday morning en tered Parang's cell he found him in bed, but awake. The prisoner said quietly, "I have heard a good deal of noise during the night ; I presume that it is for to-day." The chaplain having admitted that such was the case the prisoner rose, and with the aid of the turnkeys dressed himself, saying to one of them, " I shall ascend the scaffold bravely, for I have nothing to reproach myself with." Ile then remained about a quarter of an hour in the cell alone with the chaplain. Immediately after, M. Bonnyfoy, the examining magistrate, presented himself, and implored the prisoner to make an avowal of his crime, but without effect. In pro ceeding to the room where the last toilette was to be made, the prisoner entered the chapel for a few minutes, accompanied by the chaplain, and prayed with apparent fervour. In coming out he expressed regret that in consequence of the building being under repair it was impossible for him to hear mass before he died.

The Cesarewitch Russian line-of-battle ship (without armament) arrived at Malta on Jan. 17, from Nico -1 laief and Sebastopol, bound for Cronstadt. The Elba, which left Malta for Cagliari on Jan. 17 with the electrician, Mr. Webb, and the superintending engineer of the telegraph company at Malta, reports by telegraph from sea, to have underrun 158 nauti cal miles of cable from Malta without finding any serious damage. The defect is now calculated to be within 200 miles from Malta by the tests made." The Atlas, 91, one of the new screw steamers of the line ordered to be built at Chatham dockyard, will in all probability be launched during the pre sent year, when she will be attached to the Chan nel squadron. The Hood, 91, just completed at Chatham, is also intended for the Channel fleet. The Sanspareil, 70, screw, 'Captain Rochford. Maguire, arrived at Spithead yesterday mcrning from China. She has been about four month. on her passage from Hong Kong, and her news has therefore been anticipated by the Indian and Cape mails. The Sansparcil brings homo a number of naval invalids which she this afternoon discharged to the Victory and Haslar Hospital, and also a few marine artillerymen, which she landed this even ing. The ship is very defeceive in her hull and engine department, and is ordered to sail to-day for Plymouth, to be paid off. 'The Pique, 40, Captain Sir F. Nicholson, Bart., and Nankin, 50, Captain the Hon. K. Stewart, are reported to be on their passage home, and are daily expected to arrive at Spithcad. The Illustrious, 42, training ship, was brought down alongside the dockyard yesterday, and is turning over her crew to the Britannia, which ship will take up her moorings off Haslar the nest spring tides. A court-martial will assemble on board the Vic tory flag ship to•day, to try Mr. Ford, boatswain of the Sandfly, gunboat, tender to the Cornwallis, on the charge of insubordination, &c.

Fleming, Woolwich division Royal Marine Light Infantry, was yestereay instructed in garrison orders, to proceed to Plymouth, on con mand duty at that garrison. The ancient piece of ordnance, described in The, Sun of the 15th inst., which was presented to Go vernment by Sir J. Ilirooke, the Rajah' of Sarawak, having been carefully packed, was yesterday re moved from Woolwich Arsenal, for conveyance to Windsor, in charge of Mr. Morris, master wheel wright, under whose design the gnn has been mounted and fitted. Col. Tulloch will proCeed to the Castle this morning in order to receive and execute the Queen's instructions relative to the dis posal of the gun. During her Majesty's inspection of the Arsenal in the summer of 1857 this gun, among a number of about 40 ancient pieces of ord nance captured from the piratical inhabitants of Borneo in 1851, attracted her notice, and by direc tion of Lord Panmure, who was present, it was im mediately ordered to be laid aside and mounted in an appropriate style, to be deposited in the armoury of Windsor Castle. The carriage, limber, and other appurtenances are compowd of solid Spanish maho gany, ingeniously d ec orated with bronze fili,gree work and bronze. dolphins to cowrrespon with the orname nts on the gun.

A Nicholay, Esq., in the chair—Mr. Peter Graham, member of the council, brought be fore the society for discussion the report of the committee appointed by the council to consider the subject of a " Small Parcels Post." The report tended to show that the present rate of postage on parcels amounted to a prohibition, except in very few cases, and also that the private means of trans mission were so expensive and uncertain, the:cost of porterage to and from railway stations being so great, that great difficulty was experienced in con veying small parcels from onepart of the country to another. The Post-office, however, already had an agency established and paid for, which might be called a general porterage for the delivery of letters, and which would render a separate porter age for small parcels unnecessary over a large por tion of the kingdom. The committee were therefore of opinion that at a payment of 4s. for a parcel of a pound weight, the post might do at a profit that which private employers could not do for a much very larger sum. Examples are given toshotibvattbe on e i p a a tr r -t great number of changes of conveyance m on cel would undergo in transmission f of the country to another. The p irrcels ws.re sent this was that hardly any small actical result of these long distances, the railwmayP - mint of profitable companies being thus losers of a considerable A traffic. Various extracts gentlemen were quoted from evidence given by Mr. Rowland Hill and other s el on the eti before the committee of the H o use ofreomilme tended e e nd their show how difficult, uncertain, transmission means , and what aeon'e-3 3 private n i enc e the book-post was to the , public at large. It appeare d that some o f the railway companies had. p u t forward thes a prac tice of carrying s ma ll p arce l s by the post a gr ound for demanding - • a consider able rate for the conveyance of mails, and the re plies of the Pos t-office aut horities to their applica tions seemed. to demonstrate 'that, as most of the books and small parcels sent throughthepost would not otherwise be sent at all, and, moreover, as the Post office was in the habit of paying the railway companies at a higher rate than booksellers paid for their parcels, the companies were gainers, both by an increase of traffic and by the higher rate of re muneration. Other evidence Via similar effect was adduced in the report, which concluded by answer ing some of the objections to the proposed measure, and urging this very important subject on the attention of the public, and especially of all' those interested' in the industry and commerce of the country. A discussion ensued, in which Messrs. Alderman Mcchi, W. Haves, Laurence, Salomons, Harry Chester, E. Chadwick, C. 8., Sir Thomas Phillip s 1 Edwards, Professor Tennant, S. W. Brooks, and the Chairman, took part. fire l a n a l n B d 49 d t e h; ro s y ea c t d y o b fgovernment was fixcdat Mon t:cal, in which year the Parliament buildings were an exasperated party or mob who were incensed against the Earl of Elgin for sanctioning what was called. the Rebellion Losses Bill.. An attempt had been made Nome time before to excite civil war, which was - suppress'aby mili tary force. During the riots a considerable amount of property had been destroyed belonging both to the loyalists and the rebels, and a sum of money was voted by the Leoislature to indemnify both parties, to which Lord . Elgin gave his assent. Those who remained faithful to the Crown were indignant, and testified their displeasure by burn ing the Government establishments. In conse quence of this revengeful act a resolution was passed in the Lower House of Legislature to remove the seat of government from Montreal, and, to con ciliate the eastern and western province, to render it ambulatory, so that . Parliaments might be held alternately at Quebec and Toronto. This plan was carried by 34 votes against 29, but 21 members were absent. On the other hand, the Upper House ar rived at the opposite conclusion, resolving that the removal was inexpedient. • Lord Elgin, however, adopted the resolution of the Lower House, though carried by a small Majority and directly negatived by the , Upper House, and became very unpopular with the defeated party. Many ineffectual attempts were made to render the new policy impracticable, but they failed ' • and when Parliament was h eld at Toronto Mr. Baldwin, an influential member, de clared that Ottawa was the most eligible locality for the permanent seat of government ; but, as the public faith had been pledged to the ambulatory system, he acquiesced in Quebec taking its turn, and thither Parliament was transferred. This ar ratigernent was expensive and inconvenient, causing a double outlay for the necessary buildings and fre quent removal of archives and other official docu ments. The evil was Soon perceived by all 'unpre judiced men, and in 1852 a resolution was moved in favour of a single capital, but it was negatived, opponents arguing that, if carried, it would amount to an acknowledgment of the old claims of Mon treal. This divided policy was kept in a state of feverish agitation down to the year 1857, when the Administration of Colonel Tache, convinced that the Canadian members themselves swayed by jarring interests, would never settle the controversy, made it a ministerial measure. The proposition was that the whole matter should be referred to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and it was carried by a majority of votes in a well-filled house. To guard as far as possible against any reversal of this decision money was also voted to erect:Government build ings on any site that her_ Majesty might please to ' prefer, and that money is still held at the disposal of her Majesty. A humble petition was accordingly addressed to Queen Victoria, requesting her to fix the future seat of government for. United Canada, and she chose Ottawa. The selection was judicious. It is central to both provinces, and accessible &dm both at all times of the year. No war can be expected in the country except from the United States, and Ottawa, from being in the interior, is safer from sudden invasion than any other town or city. • Its local position is such that, in the judgment of com petent. engineers, it might be converted into an impregnable fortress. It "commands all the inland communications from east to west, add in a military point of view, may be pronounced the key . of the country ; while for naval defence Quebec is pre eminent. Ottawa is on the river which hears the same name, which is the boundary line between Eastern and Western Canada: i c reob t en s tnaaoc l ir n enn- . and, to prevent all jealousies, it is under ' stood that the Parliament Houses would be built on one side and the residence of the Governor-General on the other. If, then, any choice could reconcile all conflicting opinions, that of the Queen ought to have been hailed with unmixed satisfaction, but the baleful spirit of party has so far nullified her beneficent wishes and disappointed her anxious hopes of becoming a friendly pacificator. In the last session of the Provincial Parliament many of our readers will remember that the Mac donald Ministry proposed that the choice of her Majesty should be confirmed and carried into exe cution, when they were defeated by a majority of fourteen votes, the Opposition deciding that Ot tawa was not the best seat of government but (lid not name any other locality. The Macdonald Mi nistry at once resigned, and were succeeded by Mr. Brown and his friends, who only held office for two days, when their predecessors, with some modifica tions, more nominal than substantial, were restored to power. It is reported that they will bring for ward the same measure and before the same Par ' liament, notwithstanding their defeat of last year, and of course, public opinion is very much excited as to the result. Hitherto the representatives of each of thelgrcat cities, as Toronto and Kingston, Quebec and Montreal, have claimed a preference for their own constituents, in order to make political capital for themselves : and those tactics have been approved by party spirit, how ever condemned by patriotism.
