Had the Learned Judge been of opinion that the defendant had acted bona fide the Court might have gone some way in relieving them—as it was they must pay all. The rule must then be made absolute—that bankers pay over the money to Agar, after deducting their own expenses. I NSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Pen,janzin Eggleton, a labourer, applied on his petition from Kingston gaol, to be discharged. The insolvent, a stupid looking man, who could neither read nor write, had been sued in the Kingston Court, for OL, due for rent ; be could not pay it, and had been taken In execution for 11/. It appeared that the parish, which bad now to support his family, had offered the detaining creditor .5/. of the debt and costs, which he refused to take. Of that sum 4/. 10s. had been paid to an attorney, to bring the insolvent up to Court. He had been put in eleven Weeks.—The insolvent was discharged. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) George Clark, aged twenty-two, who was tried last ses sion for embezzling some small sums of postage-money, while employed as a letter carrier in the Post-office, and was acquitted on that charge, was this morning indictel for obt a i n i ng money, under false pretences, the charge being founded upon the circumstance of his having represented himself as the postman of a district, on which he was not '° employed, or authorised to deliver letters and collect Post age . Th e prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and was sen tenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour in the uous e of Correction. , Joh n L ew i s , age d 55, was indicted for stealing a brace value 205., the property of Mr. Serjeant Addams, 'on t he 9th instant. It appeared that the prosecutor engaged a job-carriage to conve:r himself and his lady to Guildhall, and the pri loner rode behind as the footman. Mrs. Addams missed ;he bracelet shortly after she entered the coach, and desired her domestic servants to look about the house for it, but could not be found. The prisoner was subsequently clbserved groping about the coach, and was given into cus "Y, when the bracelet was found in his possession. M.r. CLARKSON, who was counsel for the prisoner, asked t he prosecutor if he thought the prisoner did intend to re turn the bracelet, which he answered in the affirmative. , had made inquiries respecting the prisoner, and found t hat h.e bore a good character.

PRANKFOAT, Nov. 18.—The Paris Journals, of all co °ill's, pour forth a torrent of abuse on the Emperor Ni olas. The speech addressed to the Municipality of War saw, first punished by the Journal des Debats, and still con -Bidered as apocryphal, is made the subject of long-winded de clamations,,„ anti blamed with a degree of violence, which, it the speec h is authentic, authorises us to anticipate that ;PI, answer from St. Petersburg will not be wanting. By 'Be late law s of intimidation the person of Louis Philip is Protected rig ainst the arrows of the Parisian Press. So th - eY seem rQsolved to indemnify themselves for this re atriction by aibuse of ha foreign Sovereign. The question is, lat good can such acrimonious attacks produce ? The ,l l ?ech at Warsaw, supposing that it really was delivered as 't has been : 7 eported, is not an insulated fact ; it is connected With the history of Europe, since the measures preparatory t ° the fi r st part i t i on o f P o l an d. Th e o pi n i on o f e 'ntempora. ries and of posterity (which L I already . !Polo from Frederick IL, Maria Theresa, and Cathe "tle II.) agrees that the partition of Poland was a misfor t4le for the States of the civilized world. France was "dent on the conduct of the three powers at a later period, 0806 and 18 12) when it was in a condition to dictate to ~Prope it did not restore Poland. After the revolution July, it affo ”ded no support to the Polish insurrection, Zeept articles in the newspapers ; it has hesitated to adopt 1 Only possible means of restoring the nationality of Po ,aPd—that is, a war with Russia. We shall see whether af ter all, these circumstances—the Speech at Warsaw, and t lLat th e Journals with gross violation of the decorum of :e Press say of it—will give the Cabinet of the Tuileries Willroore decided direction against Russia? Whether it be thought, worth while at Petersburgh to take notice Of the Parisian invectives or not ? These are the only es sential questions arising from the new controversy about 'eland, and which we have to consider. We shall not lose at ßilt of them.

ROWLATT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING dHRONICLE. Fr—Can any of your readers inform me whether tho Charles James Blomfield, who formerly held the Rectory of Bishopsgate (a parish of vast population, and yielding a revenue of from 2,000/. to 3,000/. a year), together with the Rectory of Chesterton], in Essex (a valuable living), at the distance from each other of between 40 and 50 miles —and then added the Archdeaconry of Colchester, and afterwards held the above Rectory of Bishopsgate, together with the very extensive See of Chester, at the distance from each other of about 200 miles—is the Bishop Blomfield, who, as Diocesan of London, in the enjoyment of 14,000/. a-year, two episcopal houses, &c. &c. has lately shown such a horror of pluralities that, because Mr. Rowlatt was Reader and Librarian of the Temple (producing 2001. per annum), he considered him " unfit" to hold the contiguous Vicarage of St. Bride's (producing about as much again), notwithstanding that most respectable Clergyman had been actually presented to it by the Lord Chancellor of Eng land—solely on account of his personal and professional merits (he being neither the Toady of a Bishop, nor the Tutor nor connexion of any influential Nobleman), and not withstanding he had a wife and eleven children to support upon his scanty income ? At the same time I should be glad to learn, if, when the living of Fulham was recently void, the said Bishop consi dered the individual he named to it as the " fittest" man that could be selected, before or after that individual's rela tive—who was patron of the -lucrative living of Stevenage, in Hertfordshire, which he vacated—considered the Bishop's own near relative as the " fittest man" to succeed him ? Was Lord Brougham, in supplying the vacancies caused by the promotion of Dr. Allen, unfortunate only in the nomination of Mr. Rowlatt ? Were Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lyndhurst perfectly satisfied, in ratifying one of his appointments—that of Mr. Eden, to the more valuable living of Battersea—that he had pitched upon the " fittest man ?"—I am, &c. AN INQUIRER. Earl Grey, the Countess, and many branches of their family, are enjoying their retirement, free from the bustle of public life, at Howick Hall, in Northumberland, surrounded by the tenants of the Noble Earl, who, as a landlord, is held in great estimation. The Countess of Durham—previous to her departure for Russia—together with Lord and Lady Howick, for some time joined the fa. mily circle. The Duchess-Countess of Sutherland, has left Hamilton-place, on a visit to her daughter the Countess of Surrey, at Littlehampton, near Bognor. The Earl of Roden has left the London Hotel, Albemarle-street, where his Lordship had recently arrived with his family from the Continent, for his scat Tullymore Park, Downshire. The approaching marriage between Captain Dunlop, the Member for Ayrshire, and Lady Harriet Primrose, eldest daughter of the Earl of R3sebery, is expected to be solemnized next month at Dalmeny Park, near Linlithgow. We understand that the preliminaries of a marriage are arranged between the Hon. and Rev. Robert Liddell, M.A., Vicar of Gilesgate, Durham, youngest son of Lord Ravensworth, and Miss Wellesley, eldest daughter of the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Wellesley, and niece of his Grace the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Cadogan.—Sundcrland Herald. Mr. Protberoe, one of the Commissioners on Public Records, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer yesterday, in Downing-street, respecting the public business of the Commission. ' Lady Pechell continues confined to her residence in Hill -street, from the effects of a serious accident which her Ladyship and Sir John sustained a few weeks back, by their carriage upsetting in Richmond-park, where they hack been dining with the Earl and Countess of Errol. The appointment of Principal Inspector General of the Army Medical Department, which recently became vacant by the demise of Sir Wm. Franklin, M.D. K.C.H., it is understood is abolished. Madame Zumalacarreguy set out from Bourdeaux on the 14th to return to Spain. The candidates for the Sheriffship of Banffshire, in Scotland, vacant by the death of Mr. Urquhart, are Mr. F_ haw Stewart, Mr. Robert Hunter, and Mr. Currie, of the Scotch bar. It is expected that Mr. Shaw Stewart will be appointed. Sir F. Johnstone, M.P., is expected soon at his house at Melton ; it is near that of Lord Wilton, and is a very complete establishment. The young Baronet has very extensive estates in different parts of England and Scotland, and he rents the Island of Lewis, on the north coast of Scotland, for deer-stalking, grouse, and fishing. Sir Fre derick claims the Marquisate of Annandale, and which was last year before the House of Lords. His mother, Lady Johnstone, is married a second time to Mr. Weyland, Mem ber for Oxfordshire. His two sisters are also married—one to the Rev. Henry Bulkley, Rector of Hartshorne, Derby shire, and Fellow of Merton, Oxford, and the other to Mr. Estcourt, of Gloucestershire. Ma. GILLON'S VISIT.—Soon after Mr. Gillon arrived at Airdrie on Wednesday, he entered the Town hall ; but it being found incapable of holding one-tenth of those anxious to hear him, the meeting was adjourned to the Well Wynd Church. Mr Chapman was called to the chair. The church was crowded to excess. The three billies, Hill, Wilson, and M'Culloch, and Mr. King and Mr. Russel, councillors, were in the church alone with Mr. Gillon. Towards the close of the meeting, a deputation from the weavers in Airdrie presented an address to Mr. Mon, in consequence of his unwearied attention to their interests. Mr. Gillon stated his opinions respecting the Church of Ireland—the Endowment Question—the Orange Lodges—Protest ant Associations—the Church Commis sion, and the political interference on the part of the Scottish Clergyman—in plain, pointed, and decided terms. —Caledonian Mercury. DINNER TO ADMIRAL SIR C. ADAM, M.P. •AND K.C.B.—A large and respectable number of the con stituents of Admiral Sir Charles Adam invited him to a public dinner in the Green Inn, Kinross, on Friday, the 13th current, in testimony of their approbation of the in dependent and liberal manner he had acted as their repre sentative, and in honour of the enlightened Ministry of which he is a member. John Henderson, Esq., of Turf hills, was in the chair ; and J. Beveridge, Esq., of Kin neston, was croupier. Among the number of guests in vited on the occasion, there were present the Hon. Colo nel Abercromby, J. Hunt, Esq., of Pittencrieff, and a number of others. A great number of appropriate toasts were given in the course of the evening.—ca/ed. Mercury: Bmham's new Theatre, in Kiug-street, St. James's square, the proprietor states, will positively open on the 30th inst. The rehearsal of the dramas goes on regularly, either on the stage of the new Opera House, or the Colos seum, where the very complete orchestral band assemble daily. Mr. Braham will himself perform, on the opening night. Laporte is now in Paris, negotiating with all the principal artistes for the coming season, of the Italian Opera. This bold and enterprising lessee, encouraged by his great success at the King's Theatre last year , has re cently been at Munich and at Vienna, where he has se cured the talents of two of the most popular prima donnas in Germany. John Reeve, the celebrated low comedian, arrived on Friday, in the packet-ship North America, from Liver pool. He is engaged at the Park Theatre for two years, at a salary of 25,000 dollars per annum. A decent snug sum this ! Equal to the salary of our Chief Magistrate.— New York Courier. THE POST-OFFICE.—The various Returns made some time ago by the General Post letter carriers, showing their past and present emoluments, and the losses sustained by them in the extension of time for the free reception of letters at the branch-receiving offices throughout the me tropolis, whereby the fees formerly received by them in the collection of letters in the evening, and which formed a principal part of their incomes, having now almost ceased, arc at present under the serious consideration of the Earl of Lichfield, his Majesty's Post-Master-General. Would it not be preferable to give the General Post letter car riers, through whose hands much valuable property must pass daily, and in whose integrity the public have a deep interest, fixed salaries, and not force them to look to per quisites as a reward for their important services ? Public labour ought to he paid solely from the public purse, as it is utterly impossible to fix the value of an income de pending on fluctuating, capricious, and uncertain charity. In consequence of their very low salaries, many of the General Post letter carriers, with their wives and innocent offspring, are at present suffering severe privations and hardships of no ordinary kind ; and it is to be hoped the Postmaster-General will give their case (which is a public one) his best and earliest attention. ROMAN COFFINS.—The inscription on one of the coffins found in the Castle-yard, is as follows :—" Aurelio Supero Centurioni Legionis vi. qui vix Annis xxxviii. rnen sibus iii. diebus xiii. Aurelia Censorina conjux Memoriam posuit." "To the memory of Aurelius Superus, Centurion of the Sixth Legion, who lived 38 years, 3 months, and 13 days. Aurelia Censorina, his wife, placed (this)." This coffin is 7 feet long outside, 6 feet inside, 16 inches deep, and 18 inches wide inside. There can be no doubt but these coffins contained the remains of Romans who have been deposited 12 or 13 feet below the 7urface of the earth, sixteen or seventeen hundred years ago. When the bones are properly placed in their respective resting places again, the ponderous stone coffin will be removed to Clifford's Tower, it being considered that, as they were found within the pre cincts of the Castle, they should remain for the inspection of the curious within its walls.—York Chronicle.

This day, at one o'clock, his Excellency the Governor ,n-Chief came down in state to the Legislative Council Chamber, and, being seated on the throne, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent down to the House of Assembly t 9 command their attendance before his Excel lency, and that House being come up, his Excellency was pleased to open the second session of the fifteenth Pro vincial Parliament of Lower Canada with the following speech : _ _ _ " Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, Gentlemen of the House of Assembly. , " It is in no ordinary circumstances that I meet you ; and consequences of vast importance depend on the im pression you may_ receive from my words. Dissensions have almost arrested the course of Government. The supplies required for carrying into execution the laws by which society is held together have now for a consider- able period been withheld. The most urgent and conflict ing statements of numerous grievances by adverse parties have been borne to the throne of his Majesty ; but accom- pawed with expressions of an apprehension that the Mi nisters of the Crown might not have that practical and local knowledge of the province which is necessary for the discernment of the most appropriate remedies. " I am sent amongst you, therefore, not only as your Go vernor, but as the head of a Commission upon which the task is imposed of inquiring fully, and upon the spot, into the complaints which have been made, and of offerin to the Kin; and to the Councils by which the throne i s sur rounded thz: deliberate conclusions of the Commissioners. " There are some cases in which the executive power of the Governor will of itself be sufficient to apply a remedy ; in others, though he cannot act by himself, vet, with the help of one or both branches of the provincial legislature, lie may effectually accomplish what is required ; there are others in which the laws and institutions of the United Kingdom make it impossible for us, without the enactments or sanction of the authorities in England, to effect what is asked ; so that if we were to act, we should be acting un lawfully—if we were to make lws, they would be binding upon no one. " If these distinctions are borne in mind whilst I state t.) you the commands I have received from his Majesty, and the policy to which I shall adhere, I am confident that I shall satisfy all impartial minds of the magnanimity and wisdom with which his Majesty has listened to your com plaints ; of the resolution which has been taken to redress every grievance under which any class of his Majesty's Canadian subjects may labour, and of my own determi nation to do all ,of which I am capable, in giving effect to these generous and wise intentions. As Governor, I will execute with alacrity, impartiality, and firmness, what ever I am competent to do of myself ; as head of the provincial legislature, I will zealously co-operate with its other members in the redress of every evil they may find-1 occasion to correct ; as CommiSsioner, I pledge myself that a prompt but careful examination shall be made of those still weightier matters which depend upon the highest powers of the empire ; and that having, with the most anxious thought and solemn deliberation, arrived at our conclusions, the Commissioners will state them with an . earnestness of purpose calculated to give additional force to the authority which they ought to derive from having been 'deemed worthy of so grave a charge. " In what I shall now proceed to communicate, it is not my design, nor am I authorized by his Majesty, to con demn or to applaud generally the conduct of any one ; the abatement of dissensions, and. the conciliation of adverse parties, are the objects at which I aim ; the good will of the Canadians of all ranks and classes ; the confidence of the representatives of the people ; the respect of all branches and Members of. the Government, arc what I ardently de sire to earn and to retain, and in this I hope to succeed, be cause I am conscious that my intentions deserve it. With as much freedom from fear or favour as I have promised to act, I will now speak of . the thing of which you have complained, and of the remedies which I hope to see Applied. " It is affirmed that the French origin of the majority of the inhabitants of Lower Canada has been made a pretext for 4xcludin g them from office and employment; and for re taining them in a state, of political . inferiority. I disclaim on the -part of his Majesty,. and 9f the British people, so ungeneroui a motive. Having long ago become a part of the family of British -subjects, our Constitution reckons no thing as a mark for disfavour which may denote the es trangement of their ancestors in a former century. It re gards nothing in the present generation as demerit, save misconduct. The circumstances which first united this country with the British empire, must necessarily have oc .casioned for some time afterwards an exclusion of its prior inhabitants from offices of Government, and the bias thus unavoidably received may in some degree have influenced, even to the present day, the course of affairs. Neither is it possible, in the distribution of political offices at any time, or in any circumstances, to be guided entirely by a reference to the numbers of individuals who may be com prised in this or in that class. But I assure you that in this repect my instructions enjoin upon me the . utmost im partiality and an entire disregard of distinctions derived from difference of origin. Fitness .for_,,the : trust is the criterion to which, mainly if not entirely, T am to ; look ; and I do not hesitate to avow the opinion; that in every country, to be acceptable to the great body of the people is one of the most essential elements 'of fitness for public station. "So great is the solicitude of his Majesty to take the most effectual security against the occurrence of any abuse in the distribution of his patronage, that he has commanded the adoption of arrangements designed to elicit a far more particular account than heretofore of the exercise of this part of his delegated authority in Lower Canada ; and be has been further pleased to direct that all offices in his his gift, of which the emoluments shall exceed a stated sum, shall not be granted except under the public seal of the province, in pursuance of warrants to be issued for that purpose by his Majesty. " Complaint is also made that incompatible offices are in some cases held by the same persons. In whatsoever de gree this grievance may be found to exist, his Majesty has signified to me his expectation that it should be completely remedied. Commencing with the highest, I have formed the opinion that it is neither right nor consistent with the wholesome separation and independence of the principal bodies of the ,Government, and with the dignity of their Members, that out of the limited number of Executive Councillors in this province several should hold offices under the Legislative Council. and House of Assembly. I desire, however, that it, may be understood that no dissa tisfaction with the conduct of the Members of the Execu tive Council, nor any mark whatever of his Majesty's dis pleasure, is intended to be conveyed. The immediate re tirement of those Gentlemen who prefer to retain their appointments under the legislative body might embarrass or interrupt, the proceedings of the Court of Appeals ; but I felt it my duty to impart to them the conclusien to which my mind had come. I shall communicate the same opinion to the proper authorities at home, and I entertain no doubt that as soon as their places can be supplied according to the forms prescribed by law, effect will be given to the wish they have expressed to relinquish their seats in the Executive council. My views are not limited to these cases. No union of incompatible or incongruous offices will be wil lingly acquiesced in by me ; but I wish to be understood as speaking of offices of which the duties cannot conveniently or with propriety be discharged by the same person. In some instances the division of offices is merely nominal, and the duties are more conveniently discharged by one person than they could be by two. In other instances the salary of the office is so small, or its duties so seldom called for, that, without a union with some other, the employment could only be made acceptable to a competent person by an increase of emolument. " It is stated as a grievance that the Government has at various times refused to give the Legislature access to ac counts and other documents which were necessary for the prosecution of its inquiries, and that the Executive have not, in all cases, communicated, when requested, the de spatches which have passed between the .Colonial Depart ment and the local Government. His Majesty's Govern ment fears that the Assembly may have been exposed to some inconvenience from this source. The rule which I am instructed to follow is a freedom from all unnecessary reserve. I am commanded to withhold no information from the Provincial Legislature which can be communicated without a violation of confidence, or specific detriment to the public service ; and in particular I am to offer you the fullest assistance in investigating everything connected with the revenue and with finance. There is scarcely any do- Cument within the power of the Government which it will not always be willing to lay before you, except those con fidential communications with the authorities at home or with its own officers here, which it is obvious could not be made public in all cases and at all seasons, without extreme inconvenience. "As an -earnest of the sincerity of these intentions, I have given directions that a copy of the annual return, generally known as the Blue Book, should in future be pre sented to each branch of the Legislature, and since correct information on the. statistics of the province is an object of general importance, I invite your assistance in rendering all returns of this nature as accurate and as comprehensive as possible. " The too frequent reservation of bills for the signification of his Majesty' s pl eas ure, and the delay in communicating the King's decision upon them, is a grievance of which his Majesty's Government arc solicitous to prevent the • recur rence. I shall consider the power of reserving,bills as a right to be employed not without much caution, nor except on some evident necessity. His Majesty's Government also undertake on th e i r part to bestow the most prompt .atten- BRIGHTON-MONDAY.

Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, and his family, are among our latest arrivals. Last night a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Phillips, confectioner on the Steyne, but owing to the exertions of two officers of the Coldstream Guards, who cut away a quantity of the woodwork with their swords, the fire was confined to the shop and underground apartments.

THEATRES. LYCEUM. A new piece. entitled The Poacher and his Dog, was pro duced last night at this theatre. The plot, which professes to be taken from a tale in the " Three Courses and a Dessert," is rather confused, but though overstepping in many instances the boundaries of probability, affords full scope for those forcible burrts of vehement passion, and those exquisite reliefs of rude but tender pathos, which Mr. Rayner renders so effective :in his delineations of an English rustic, drawn by circumstances into the very depth of trazic situation. The piece appears evidently to have been written for him, and he carried it through very suc .cessfully. Mr. Oxberry, as a parish constable, was very amusing in an awkward but unsuccessful attempt to uphold the dignity of his office, as he more pompously called it, his official dignity. The dog, whose name occupies half the title, went through his business as if he did not like the part assigned to him. Indeed there was not much to be made of it. His only business was to set at the drunken constable, and so little did he seem to relish the duty, that the poacher himself, when putting and patting him to it, seemed afraid lest he should turn round and resent the in dignity. He went very surlily through the pill ; and if he bad only had a classical education we are satisfied he would have addressed the audience in the words of the old Roman, whom Horace mentions as placed in a similar situa tion. The piece was well received. ADELPHI. The Dream at Sea, a drama by Mr. Buckstone, was produced yesterday evening. The scene is in Cornwall, and turns upon Launce Lynwood (Mr. Vining) being for bidden the house of the father of Ann Trevanion (Miss Daly), to whom he has been betrothed, and his saving the life of his rival, Richard Penderell (Mr. Hemming) from the hands of the wrecker, Black Ralph (Mr. 0. Smith), who subsequently on the marriage of Penderell, conce4s himself in the house of the father, robs it, and strikes the bride to the earth. She is supposed to be murdered by her lover Launce, who has left the country, but returned, influenced by a dream, in time to bear the weight of the cliarm ' e of murder. He determines to exhumate the body of Ann Trevanion, which he does, and conceals it in his hovel, where he attempts, after the most approved Parisian me thod, to die by the fumes of charcoal. The lady revives, having been interred with undue precipitation, but only in time to be carried off by Black Ralph, while the posse commitatus apprehend LaunceLynwood. Launce, how ever, escapes ; and, for the support of the probable, again supposes—or, to express it dramatically, a " thought rushes into his mind"—that his lady-love has been carried to the Pandeen Van, or haunted cave. Inspired with this notion he hurries to the cave, finds the lady and Black Ralph, who is dying. The pursuers of the murderers arrive, and the testimony of Ralph acquits Launce, while the husband of Ann Trevanion assigns his wife to the protection of her preserver. Morality and the probability of this story did not prevent the audience of the Adelphi from testifying their loud approbation ; and the piece was annouced for re petion. On Thursday last, John Armstrong, bellman, other wise " Amen," was summoned before the magistrates at the Town-ball, for posting upon the Main Guard one of the bills calling a public meeting of the burgess-that-are-to-be at the Grey Goat Inn. Armstrong was fined .55., upon which the costs•amounted only to 10s., which he was re quired to pay upon the spot, or go to prison. He, how ever, had no money, and begged bard for time ; but the re quest was cut short with " Po! po ! po!—off off !—you want to take the town to yourselves before the time !" Carlisle Journal. _ _ LIVERPOOL ENDOWMENT JOB.—It has Oozed, out, that, while the churches were at least to be endowed up to the present amount of stipend received by the seve ral clergymen attached to them, the senior appointment of St. George's, held by the Rev. J. Monk, was to have been cut down from 400 guineas to 300. A great number of agreeable reflections present themselves to the mind, when we ponder over this intention. 1. It must be ob izrved, that Mr. Monk has no relations amongst the Coun cilmen. 2. It must be remarked, that what was saved.by not endowing St. George's to the full amount of the pre sent stipend, would have reduced the sum required for the endowment of the Rectors, who are relations to some of the Councilmen. 3. It may be asked, why it was not contemplated to reduce the stipend of the junior as well as the senior minister of St. George's ? To which it may be answered, that the Rev. Gerard Leigh is the junior minister, and any attempt to reduce his stipend would have disgusted his brother. Mr. Leigh, his brother-in-law Mr. Hollinshead, his cousin Mr. Shaw, and five or six members who always vote with those gentlemen, and thus the job would have been defeated.L-LiviTpoo/ Albion. WIFE-SEEKING BY ADVERTISEMENT.—A. M. Hartmann some three months ago came to Paris from Frankfort, to improve himself in th French lawruage, and, being engaged in commerce, imagined be might make a profitable bargain by answering an advertisement inserted in the Petites Aches by Messrs. Deschamps and Tazard, offering to effect marriages with young and rich heiresses, or handsome and liberally endowed widows. The credu lous German, little aware of the tricks of this capital, went to the office of Messrs. Deschamps and Tazard, who, after naming many wealthy dames they said they bad at their disposal, obtained from their dupe a sum of 50 francs, giv ing him an engagement to return the money if a marriage to the satisfaction of the merchant was not effected within the month. They carried the farce so far as to introduce to him at their office a fair lady, who declared that she was possessed of a splendid fortune, the whole of which she would leave to her intended husband if he treated her kindly. M. Hartmann, however, could never obtain a pri vate interview with the lady, and this and other circum stances arousing suspicions, he made inquiries, and soon discovered that she was already a married woman, and a mere confederate in the attempt to defraud him. He pro secuted the male swindlers, who were to have appeared yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, but made default, and were each sentenced to 12 months' im prisonment, to pay a fine of 50 frs., and to restore to M. Hartman the 50 frs. they had cheated him out of, or re maid in prison a further term of six months'.--Galignani. • tion on every question of this nature which may be brought under their notice ; and especially, that no measure having for its object the institution in the province of any colleges or schools for the advancement of Christian knowledge or sound learning shall hereafter be unnecessarily deferred. " Connected with this subject is the lapse of time which, it is stated, has on various occasions, occurred in conveying to the Legislature his Majesty's answers, to their addresses. It is very possible that delays which all would regret, may have taken place ; in some instances, perhaps, occasioned or prolonged by circumstances which no activity or zeal in his Majesty's service could have obviated ; but his Majesty takes so deep, and if I may use the expression, so personal, an interest in the affairs of this country, that his Ministers have received the most unqualified commands to lay before his Majesty, immediately on its arrival in England, every communication which either branch of the Legislature may address to the Throne, and to see that his Majesty's answer be conveyed to .the province with the utmost possible des- patch. " There have been several complaints of other matter::, such as of the undue preference of the English to the French language ; of improperly calling on the Judges for extra judicial opinions on matters which might subsequently come before them for decision ; of an interference in the elections of the Representatives of the people ; and of other matters on which I should scarcely have thought it necessary to make any specific observations, because I can assure you generally and without reservation, that any course of govern ment liable to such imputations, would be marked by the displeasure of his Majesty, and because I rely upon your giving me so much of your confidence as not to suppose be forehand that I should subject myself in these respects to any just reproach. " With respect, however, to any undue partiality to the English language, it may not he superfluous to apprise you more explicitly that his Majesty disapproves and is desirous to discourage and prevent the adoption of any practice which would deprive either class of his subjects of the use, in their official acts, of that tongue with which early habits and education may have rendered them most familiar , and that if you should deem it requisite to pass a law for securing bath the English and French inhabitants of this province against any disadvantage arising from an undue preference to either language I should be prepared will ingly to assent to the measure. " It has been represented as another grievance that ex orbitant fees have been charged in some of the public offices. I have not yet been sufficiently long in the pro vince to have obtained accurate information on this sub ject ; but I-am willing to concur with you in a revision of the fees of every office in the province, and in the appoint ment, should you think it expedient, of a commission of in- quiry for that purpose. " His Majesty has no wish on the subject but that the remuneration of all public officers, from the highest to the lowest, should be so regulated as to provide for the efficient discharge of the public service, an object which cannot effectually be secured without a fair remuneration to the persons employed by the public. " I will readily co-operate, if it be desired, with a Com mittee of both Houses, or of either House, in an inquiry not only into certain rules of practice made by the Courts Of Law, which it r has been stated in addresses to the Throne have exceeded the just authority of the Judges, but also into all the practice and proceedings of the superior tribunals, with a view to rendering them more prompt and methodical, and less expensive. I apprehend, however, that after such an inquiry it might not be in the power of the Governor alone to apply any effectual remedy ; and that I should re quire the concurrence of both branches of the Provincial Legislature in passing an Act for the purpose. " The Clergy reserves are among the most extensive of tl:e subjects adverted to in the complaints from the pro vince. The whole question, with the draft of a bill for the adjustment of the claims of all parties, has been already submitted to the decision of the Legislature, but was lost, apparently, by some misapprehension of the intention of his Majesty's Government. As the best means of removing this misapprehension I shall cause to be communicated, without delay, copies of the Earl of Ripon's despatches on the subject ; and I invite you to resume the consideration of the proposals which they contain. " Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, _ _ To both branches of the Legislature I am authorised to offer my warrants for the payment of their contingent ex penses. " I have received the commands of our Most Gracious Sovereign to acquaint you that his Majesty is disposed to place under the controul of the Representatives of the peo ple all public monies payable to 'his Majesty, or to his Offi cers, in the province, whether arising from taxes or from any other Canadian source ; but that this cession cannot be made except on conditions which must be maturely weighed, and that to arrange such conditions for your consideration is one of the principal objects of the Commission with which it has pleased his Majesty to charge myself and my colleagues. " Our inquiries into this subject shall be pursued with un ceasing diligence, and the result shall be submitted with all practicable speed to his Majesty's Government ; and I hope in a session, to be holden in the ensuing year, I shall be able to lay before you proposals for a satisfactory and conclusive arrangement. I have desired that the accounts which are necessary to show the financial state of the province, with an estimate for the current year, should be submitted to you as soon as possible, and every explanation respecting them which it may be in my power to afford shall be furnished without re serve. These accounts show the large arrears that arc now due for salaries to public officers, and for the other ordinary expenditure of the Government ; and I earnestly request of you to pass such votes as may effect the liquidation of these arrears, and provide for the maintenance of the public servants, pending the inquiry by the Commissioners to which I have alluded. " Should you place the Government in this position, I am authorised to engage that no part of the surplus pro ' coeds of the Crown revenues which may accrue beyond the charm ' es to which they are at present permanently liable , shall, in the interval of the Commissioners' inquiry, be ap plied to any purposes whatever unless with your assent. " As connected with the subject of arrears, I am further commanded to ask of you the repayment, to the military chest, of the sum advanced under the sanction of his Ma jesty's Government to meet the pressing exigencies of the public service. This advance was exclusively made from British funds, for the purpose of avoiding any undue in terference with the revenues falling under the control of the Assembly, and with a strong persuasion that it would not prejudice the satisfactory adjustment of any of the ques tions at issue between his Majesty's Government and the House of Assembly. However the measure may have been subsequently understood, such were the feelings with which it was adopted. It is obvious that this application does not call on you to grant the smallest amount more than would have been required if there had been no ad vance. His Majesty, therefore, hopes than an issue made in reliance on the just and liberal feelings of the House of Assembly, and designed for no other purpose than to pre vent a highly inconvenient interruption of the general busi ness of the province, will be cheerfully repaid. " In the absence of any legal provision for the purpose, I took on myself the responsibility of continuing the qua rantine establishment at Grosse Isle, on the same footing as I found it, relying on your liberality to make good an expenditure thus incurred solely fiir the public advantage. I am happy to state that the establishment was closed at an earlier period than usual, in ennsequence of there having, been for several weeks previously no sick of any description in the hospital. I avail myself of this opportunity to sug gest to you the expediency of indemnifying the proprietor of the island for its past occupation in the public service, and of enabling the Government to obtain possession of it, should - the continuance there of a quarantine station be deemed advisable. " I have to announce that the suit instituted by the Crown against the late Receiver-General for repayment of the debt due to the province, has been brought to a termi nation which makes the estate of the defendant applicable to the satisfaction of the demands of the province. I may also announce to you that the party against whom the judg ment has been given, has come to the determination to re linquish his seat in the Legislature of the province, and to abstain from the exercise of all rights and privileges at tached to it. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " In requeSting your attention to such useful statutes as may have recently expired, I beg to recommend to your more immediate notice one, the expiration of which has af fected the strict reciprocity requisite to be maintained in our commercial intercourse with the United States. I al lude to the Act passed in the fourth year of the reign of his present Majesty, intitled An Act to continue for a limited time, and to amend certain Acts therein mentioned, rela ting 'to the collection of the revenue at the several inland ports of the province' I would also recommend to your consideration the whole questions of prisons and prison dis cipline, and the expediency of adopting sonic more effectual methods than at present exist for repressing crime, which, I regret to say, appears to be on the increase in the province. " Of the Commission of which I have spoken to you, it will be the first and most urgent duty to prepare with deli beration and the utmost care, and yet without delay, the beads of a Bill for giving np to the appropriation of the House of Assembly the net proceeds of the hereditary re venue, and to prepare it in such a form that it may be ac ceptable to the various authorities whose sanction it may require, or under whose cognizance it may come. In what form precisely this important concession may be finally made, it would now be out of place to discuss ; but it will be necessary that two points should be secured—first, that the management of the sources of that revenue of which the proceeds are to be appropriated by the House of As . serribly should be reserved to Officers of the Crown, whose accounts will be-open to the inspection ;'tN '- of the province ; secondly, that a provisi for the support of the Executive Govern salaries of the Judges, , by an adequate ei __„\ 0f.... 344 " The much agitated questions respecting the tattAr land and the registry of titles, and all the complicated con siderations connected therewith, will also form a subject for the review of the Commissioners ; and they are directed to make a complete investigation of the conflicting claims of the Crown and of the Seminary of St. Sulpice, within the seigniory of Montreal. What constitution and course of proceedings would be most advantageous for the executive council? What system for the general education of the people ? How the collection and apportionments between the two provinces of the duties of customs, levied within the waters of the St. Law;eice, may be best arranged ?' And what principle ought hereafter to be taken as a guide in granting or refusing to companies or associations any powers to be exercised, or privileges or capacities to he en joyed within the province ?—are also questions on which the Commissioners must report to the Crown. " There are still graver matters which have been made the grounds of petition to his Majesty, and respecting which the Commissioners are not precluded from entering into an enquiry. But•it would be painful to speak here of • dissensions between the two Legislative bodies whom I ad dress, or to recapitulate the faults which have been found with the constitution of either body by the other. Let me invite you rather to follow that example of forbearance, moderation, and of mutual respect which, notwithstanding their differences of opinion, has been recently exhibited by the two Houses of the Imperial Parliament. This mo ment, as it seems to me, is a good opportunity for good, or for evil. Let me intreat of you that it may not be lost or thrown away. Lower Canada is divided by two parties, and each of them appears to be agitated by apprehensions which I trust arc exaggerated. To the Canadians of French origin I would say, do not fear that there is any design to disturb the form of society under which you have so long been contented and prosperous. However different from those of her colonists in other parts of the world, England cannot but admire the social arrangements by which a small number of enterprising colonists has grown into a good, religious, and happy race of agriculturists, re markable for the domestic virtues, for a cheerful endurance of labour and privations, and for alertness and bravery in war. There is no thought of endeavouring to break up a system which sustains a dense rural population, without the existence of any class of poor. England will protect and foster the benevolent, active, and pious priesthood, under whose care and by whose examples so much of order, of good conduct, and of tranquil bliss is created, preserved, and handed down from generation to generation. _ _ _ " Of the British, and especially of tit' commercial classes, I would ask is it possible you should suppose that there can be any design to sacrifice your interests, when it is clear to all the world that commerce is one of the main supports to the British system of finance, that without it this wonderful fabric of British power and dominion would crumble into dust., and that it is especially the object and purpose for which, at a vast expense, the mighty colonies of England are maintained in every quarter of the globe ? Rely upon it that the great and powerful country from whence you have removed yourselves to these shores will not abandon here the policy which has established the prosperity of her people in every other region ; and that a Government of which constancy and good faith are the main elements of power, will not fail to sustain in this portion of the empire the sprit of that Constitution which has so long been held out as a boon to its natives, and an inducement to the settlers who have embarked in it their enterprise, their wealth, and their hopes of individual happiness. " In a declaration put forth by many among you who inhabit this city, I have seen the following objects enu merated ; first, to obtain for persons of British and Irish origin and others, his Majesty's subjects, labouring under the same privations of common rights, a fair and reasonable proportion of the representatio❑ in the Provincial Assem bly. Secondly, to obtain such a reform in the system of judicature and the administration of ,justice as may adapt them to the present state of the province. Thirdly, to obtain such a composition of the Executive Council as may impart to it the efficiency and weight which it ought to possess. Fourthly, to resist any appoint ment of Members of the Legislative Council otherwise than by the Crown, but subject to such regulation as may ensure the appointment of fit persons. Fifthly, to use every effort to maintain the connection of this colony with the parent State, and a just subordination to its autho rity ; and sixthly, to assist in preserving and maintaining peace and good order throughout the province, and en suring the equal rights of his Majesty's subjects of all classes. If these objects are indeed all that are desired by the whole commercial interest, I trust it will be satis factory to those who aim at them to know, that there is not one of them which is not strictly within the line of duty of the King's Commissioners to take into considera tion, to receive respecting them the fullest evidence and information which may be offered, and finally to submit to our gracious Sovereign and his Ministers their impartial and well-weighed conclusions. " To the Canadians, both of French and British origin, and of every class and description, I would say, consider the blessings you might enjoy, and the favoured situation in which, but for your own dissensions, you would find your selves to be placed. The offspring of the two foremost nations of mankind, vou hold a vast and beautiful country, a fertile soil, a healthy cliamte; and the noblest river in the world, makes your most remote city a port for ships of the sea. Your revenue is triple the amount of your expendi ture for the ordinary purposes of government ; you have no direct taxes, no public debt, no poor who require any other aid than the natural impulses of charity. If you ex tend your views beyond the land in which you dwell, .you will find that you are joint inheritors of the splendid patri mony of the British empire, which constitutes you, in the best sense of the term, citizens of the world, and gives you a home on every continent, and in every ocean of the globe. There arc two paths open to you ; by the one you may advance to the enjoyment of all the advantages which lie in prospect before you , by the other, I will not say more than that you will stop short of these, and will engage your selves, and those who have no other object than your pros perity, in darker and more difficult courses." A WARM GARMENT.—A French teacher, resi dent in Oxford, called on a mercer for a waistcoat-piece, but could not recollect the name of the material he wanted. He said he thought it was the English for de diable. The mercer went over the several names of his infernal highness, such as Old Nick, Beelzebub, Apollyon, &c. " No, no, it vas not dat." At length the mercer thought of Satan. " 0 ! dat is vat I vent," cried Monsieur ; " I rant a Satan vescoat." DISTRESSING CASE.-0:i Saturday morning, about one o'clock, a young woman, named Rarkstree, aged about 19, was found by the police lying on the steps of St. PancraS workhouse, being far advanced in pregnancy, and in a very exhausted state. She told the officers she had applied for admission into the poor-house, which was re fused. They conveyed her to the station-house, where attention was paid to her ; but her situation every moment becoming worse, application was made to Mr. Cator, the overseer, who had her removed to the workhouse. The young woman stated that she had been left entirely desti tute by her seducer and friends, and had sunk down from exhaustion where the officers found her. AN EXTRAORDINARY EMBEZZLEMENT.—The principals, agents, and clerks of a porter brewery of the first magnitude, south of the Southwark-bridge, have recently received a shock, not easily to be described, from a misap plication of various heavy sums of money received by the principal agent of the establishment in his official capacity. The agent in question had, it appears, during a period of 20 years, discharged the duties of his situation with such ability and integrity as induced the proprietors not only to place the most unbounded confidence in him, but to elevate him to one of the most important offices connected with the house in the out-door department, and to reward him with an income of little short of 1,0001. a year. Some of the defalcations, amounting to a few loose hundreds (as they would be designated on the turf), were discovered nearly a month since, and it is said that a check to supply the defi ciencies was immediately issued by an influential person allied to the delinquent either by marriage or blood ; and the business of the houSe, it was expected, would go on in the usual channel. Upon a more minute examination, however, into his accounts, it turned out that the defalea tions had been multiplied from hundreds to thousandS, and to such an extent indeed had the embezzlement been carried, that last week the partners of the firm felt themselves im peratively called upon to issue a circular to their customers, requesting them on no account to pay any monies to Mr. (the first initial of whose name is not far from the top of the alphabet). In the course of Friday and yester day it came out that the weighty sums (amounting to thousands) had been received by the offender from publi cans for the purpose of being deposited in the house, to remain there at five per cent. interest. It is not an uncom mon course, when a publican leaves a house with a few hun dreds or thousands in hand, to deposit his balance with his brewer until he shall procure another house, being, as a matter perfectly understood, allowed five per cent. for it in the interim ; and in some cases an old customer, on his re tirement with a few thousands, will receive from his brewer five per cent. permanently for his - capital. Now such, it appears, was the confidence reposed in the unfortunate tub• jest of this notice, that thousands had been intrusted to hint by different publicans in the manner above described, which sums he never carried into the books of the establishment he represented ; although at the end of every six months he took especial care to take the interests of the, d e posits to the parties to whom it was due ; they, poor deluded crea tures, believing that he had brought it in the regular W3y of business.—Obmrver. 20 4 p ~.( tsi l-4 ck 0/ ~ .
