LORD SYDENHAM'S SPEECH. (From the Supplement of the Quebec Gazette, published by authority at Kingston.) PROVINCE OF CANADA. Legislative Council Chamber, Kingston, June 1 5, 1841 . This day, at two o'clock, r. 31. his Excellency the Governor proceeded in state to the Chamber of the Legislative Council, in the Parliament building, the Members of the Legislative Council being there assembled. His Excellency was pleased to command the attendance of the Members of the Assembly, and that House being present, Mr. Austin Cuvillier, M.P.P. for the county of Huntingdon, informed his Excellency that e choice of the Assembly had fallen u p on him to be their Speaker. The Speaker then demanded the customary privi leges, which his Excellency having granted, was pleased to open the first Session of the first Parliament of the province of Canada with the following Speech from the Throne : " Hon. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, "I have deemed it right to assemble you at the earliest pe riod which the circumstances of the province and the duties imposed upon me by the Imperial Act for the union of the Ca nadas, under which the Legislature is constituted, have ad mitted ; and it is with sincere satisfaction that I now meet you to deliberate on the great and important interests committed to our charge. " A subject of her Majesty, an inhabitant of this province, has been forcibly detained in the neighbouring States, charged with a pretended crime. No time was lost by the executive of this province in remonstrating against the proceeding, and provision was:made for insuring to the individual the means of de fence, pending the further action of her Majesty's Government. The Queen's representative at Washington has since been in structed to demand his release. Of the result of that demand I am not yet apprised, but I have the Queen's commands to assure her faithful subjects in Canada of her Majesty's fixed determination to protect them with the whole weight of her LOG OF THE GREAT WESTERN.

JOSEPH'S GRAVE.—We have seen a subscription paper proposing to raise funds for the purpose of erect ing a suitable monument over the spot. St. Joseph, of Piere Jose, was one of the Jesuit missionaries who, more than two hundered years ago, left the sunny climes and the luxuries of their native France, and settled them selves along the rivers and lakes of the west, and amid the dark and dreary forests of Canada, that they might teach the Indians to bow to the Cross. They seemed to possess the devotion of the early apostles, for wealth was to them as nought ; as it could serve no purposes of gratification in this then far Off land, and they spent their days among those whose spiritual good they sought, and left their bones under the shade of the same dark forests which had been the scenes of their labours.—To ereot a lasting monument, be it never so simple, is an ob ject for which all should be willing to contribute, that it may remain a link connecting the future with the past. A fatal accident occurred on board the steamer the High, on Friday evening, the sth inst., on her passage from St. Louis *o this port, in which they crew and pas sengers of the boat very deeply sympathise. The boat had rounded-to, at St. Mary's landing, for the purpose of putting some passengers on shore, one of whom had a pair of fowling pieoes loaded, and whilst in the act of putting them into the yawl, one was accidently dis charged, and a young man, a deck-hand on the boat (and a brother of the mate) received the full charge in the lower part of his left breast, ranging upward, which caused his immediate death. The body was brought to Chester, a few miles below, and left in care of Mr. Jones, a friend of Captain Price's, and every arrange ment made for a respectable funeral ; the mate also re mained to pay the last tribute of respect to his much lamented and unfortunate brother. The man killed has been a hand on the river for some time. He made his home at Pittsburgh, where his mother and sisters reside, and who are yet strangers to their sad bereavement. This distressing circumstance should serve as an ad monition against the miserable practice of taking loaded guns and pistols on board steam-boats by passengers. All captains should set their face against it. Two per sons have been accidentally killed on this river, within a few months, in the above manner.—Cincinnati Repub lican. COUNTY OF HERTFORD . ELECTION. The nomination of the candidates to represent the county of Hertford in Parliament, took place yesterday in the Plough Mead, Hertford. The Conservative can didates were accompanied to the hustings by nearly five hundred horsemen and a great number of carriages filled with elegantly" dressed ladies. Mr. Alston was also ac companied by a large body of horsemen and equipages, and the scene exhibited at the hustings was quite magni ficent from the number of equipages, banners, &c., that were assembled. power. " Arrangements were completed during the course of last summer by which, under the directions of the Treasury, the rates of postage between all parts of this colony and the united kingdom were greatly reduced; and a more speedy and a regu lar conveyance of letters between different parts of this pro vince has since been established by arrangements made by the Deputy Postmaster-General under my direction. A com mission has been appointed by me to inquire into and report upon the whole post-office system of British North America, and I confidently anticipate that the result of its labours will be the establishment of a plan securing improvements in the internal communication by post within the colony, equal to those which we have already obtained in the communication with the mother country. " Many subjects of deep importance to the future welfare of the province demand your early attention, upon some of which I have directed bills to be prepared, which will be submitted for your consideration. " Amongst then, first in importance at the present juncture of affairs is the adoption of measures for developing the. re sources of the province, by well considered and extensive public works. The rapid settlement of the country—the value of every man's property within it—the advancement of the future fortunes, are deepl y affected by this question. " The improvement of the navigation from the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Huron to the ocean—the establishment of new internal communications in the inland districts, are works requiring a great outlay, but promising commensurate returns. To undertake them successfully large funds will un doubtedly be required, and the financial condition of the pro vince as it stands at present would seem to forbid the at tempt. But 1 have the satisfaction of informing you that I have received authority from her Majesty's Government to state that they are prepared to call on the Imperial Parliament to afford their assistance towards those important undertak ings. In the full belief that peace and tranquillity will be:hap pily re-established in this province, under the constitution settled by Parliament, and that nothing but a relief from its most pressing difficulties is wanting to its rapid advancement to prosperity, they will propose to Parliament, by affording the guarantee of the Impend Treasury for a loan to the extent of no less than 1,500,000/. sterling, to aid the province, for the double purpose of diminishing the pressure of the interest on the public debt, and of enabling it to proceed with those great public undertakings whose progress during the last few years has been arrested by the financial difficulties. I shall direct a measure to be submitted to you, embracing a plan for this purpose, and I shall lay before you, for your in formation and that of the people of Canada, extracts from the despatches which convey to me this most gratifying as surance. " In immediate connexion with the outlay of capital upon public works is the subject of emigration, and the disposal and settlement of public lands. There exist within the province no means so certain of producing a healthy flow of immigra tion from the mother country, and of ultimately establishing the immigrant as a settler and proprietor within the colony, as the power of affording sure employment for his labour on his first arrival. The assistance of Parliament for the public works which may be undertaken here, will in a great measure pro vide for this; but with a view further to aid immigration , I a m authorized to declare to you, that her Majesty's. Govern ment are prepared to assist in facilitating the passage of the immigrant from the port at which he is landed to the place where his labour may be made available, and that a vote of motley for this purpose will beproposed to the Imperial Parlia ment. The conditions which her Majesty's Government attach to this measure will be submitted to you, at the same time that I shall draw your attention to a scheme for the settlement and disposal of the public lands. " It appears highly desirable that the primiples of local self-government, which already prerail to some extent through ottt that part of the province which was formerly Upper Ca hada, should receive a more extended application there, and that the people should exercise a greater degree of power over their own local affairs. I have directed a measure upon thin subject to be submitted to you, and I solicit your earnest at tention to the establishment of such a form of local self-gos vernment for those districts of the province which are unre, o _ vided with it as may insure satisfaction to the people ; whilst at, preserves inviolate the prerogative of the Crown, and main tains the administration of justice pure from party and popular excitement. A due provision for the education of the people is one of the first duties of the State, and in this province especially the want of it is grievously felt. The establishment of an efficient system, by . which the blessings of instruc tion may be placed wain the reach of all, is a work of difficulty, but its great and overwhelming impor tance demands that it should be undertaken. I recom mend the consideration of the subject to , your best attention, and I shall be most anxious to afford you in your labours all the co-operation in my power. If it should be found impossible so to reconcile conflicting opinions as to obtain a measure which may meet the approbation of all, 1 trust that at least steps may be taken by which an advance to a more perfect system may be made, and the difficulty under which the people of this province now labour may be greatly diminished, subject to such im provements hereafter as time and experience may point out. " Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " The financial accounts of the province will be immediately laid before you, and I shall direct the estimates for the public service to be submitted to you with the least possible delay. I rely upon your co-operation in the financial measures which it will be my duty to propose to you for taking advantage of the assistance whicli her Majesty's Government propose to afford, and for carrying into effect the publi c i m p rovemen ts which a re deemed most dsirable. I shall earnestly endeavour that what ever you may appropriate for this latter purpose shall be eco nomically employed and rendered effective. " Hon. Gentlemen and Gentlemen , "In your wisdom and p ru d ence I confide for the regulatiem of the different important matters whic h must necessarily tome before you.

" ATROCIOUS MURXIER.—Mr. Cyrus Cells, a young man employed at the prison as a guard, while in the act of combing his hair, was struck from behind with a small hand axe, on the left side of his head and neck, by a convict .tamed James Clark. The first blow was suffi cient to destroy life, but the monster repeated them until the head was nearly severed from the body. This mur der was premeditated without doubt. A longer handle than was usual had been put in the axe a short time pre vious by Clark, in order, it is supposed, that he might make a heavier blow. He had, we hear it is said, threatened to kill Sells. Clark is from Scioto county, and was sentenced for highway robbery. He had to be frequently punished in the prison for bad conduct. The murder of poor Sells was committed to revenge himself for some of the castigations he had received. He has, on several occa sions, feigned to be deranged, but no one connected with the prison believes that there is anything ails him more than to be possessed of a most fiendish and incarnate spirit.—Ohio State Journal. EXPERIMENTAL HANGING.—A young lad, twelve years of age, named Charles Rogers, accidentally hung himself a few days since at Lyons, in this State. He was very much devoted to sports of the circus, and once remarked he believed he should be able to imitate hanging, with out fatal results attending it, but upon experimer jt i n found it to fail.—Buffalo paper.

A panther, measuring seven feet seven inches in length, and. weighing ninety- six pounds, was shot on the 30th ult. near Crab Orchard, Ky. No other animal of that species has been seen in that vicinity for twenty or thirty years.—American Paper. • DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.—A German named Michael Mourer was mortally wounded a day or two since by the accidental discharge of a gun. It appears that Mourer was hunting with a friend—the latter being a few paces in the rear, when a vine caught the trigger of his gun, and the contents were discharged in Alourer's back, a little above the hip. No hopes of his recovery are en tertained.—American Paper. FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—One of the prisoners confined in the city jail, was at work in the yard on Saturday afternoon, blasting rocks. He was loading the rock with powder at the time the thunder storm came up. He was told to desist, but he said he could cemplete the charge before the storm, and went on with his work. Scarcely were the words out of his mouth, when at the first flash of lightning the electric fluid, attracted by the iron rod with which he was ramming down the powder, ignited the charge and shivered the rock on which he was sit ting. It was at first supposed the man was dead. It proved upon examination, that the right hand. was in jured, though not seriously, and the chest was somewhat burned. He is fast recovering from the effects of his own imprudence.--Brooklyn Daily News. REMARKABLE TREE.—Mr. Agricola at Golnits, in Altenburgh, has in his garden an apple tree, which in the year 1816 bore 268 sorts of apples and other fruit. In fact, the tree has on it above 300 sorts, but those last grafted have not yet borne fruit. This gentleman has effected this curiosity for his amusement by inoculating and grafting, and has fastened to every branch a little board, with the name of the sort of apple it bears. The tree has a strange appearance, from the various shapes and colours of the leaves, blossoms, and fruits. Some years ago, the Russians bivouacked near this tree, and were so surprised at the strange shape of it, and the number of little boards, that they did not , injure it, though they cut down other fruit trees for firewood. Eight layers of stone haVe been added to the Bunker Hill Monument this season, each layer being two feet eight inches in thickness, making an additional height of twenty-one feet four inches. The monument is now, consequently, upwards of one hundred feet in height, and it is rapidly increasing in altitude. We predict that the " top stone ' will be laid on or before the 17th of June, 1842.—Anterican Journal. THE GRINDSTONE CHEESE.—The Philadelphia Ledger of Friday contains our story of Parsis butting the grind stone, and credits it to the Picayune. Pie 's a good 'un, but he can't have our nigger. Since his trial of strength with the grindstone, Parsis has made another unlucky experiment, by undertaking to bump his head against the ceiling of a low room. He sprung up like a rocket, and shot his head clean through the plaster and laths, but in stantly the latter gathered round his neck, so that he was caught like a rat, and could not be unhung until a por tion of the ceiling was cut away.— Boston Post. show how utterly unqualified they we're to 'control the destinies of this great nation.—(Cheers.) WAS' im possible to countenance a Ministry that. would, have the 1 cruelty to appeal to the passions of the people by a cry of "Cheap bread," when they knew at the same time 1 that it really meant low wages. He concluded by pro posing Mr. Ryder, who, lie said, would be a firm sup- 1 porter of the interests of all classes of the community, and of all changes calculated to be really advantageous to the people. Mr. HALSEY seconded the nomination, and in the I course of his observations expressed himself adverse to, the provisions of the New Poor. law, and expressed his desire that those enactments pressing harshly upon the poor should be ameliorated. Lord GRDISTON then addressed the electors. His • Lordship said he agreed in the opinion that had been expressed that at an important crisis like the present all private feelings should give way to the public interest. He was acquainted with many Whigs whom he respected and cherished as friends, but he did not respect their political opinions, and 'therefore he was induced again to solicit their suffrages on the present occasion. An Hon. Gentleman had complained of an expression in the ad dress of the Conservative candidates, but he con sidered that expression quite Parliamentary, and he had not the least desire that • the contest should be carried on in any other than a friendly manner, and without any personalities being resorted to. The proposer of Mr.. Alston had told them a great deal, about what he had suffered under a Tory Government, but he would only say that if he was a fair specimen, h was a very unfortunate one, for he appeared to have done exceedingly well, and to have been very prosperous under Tory rule. The present Ministry had now brought forward a proposition, which, he believed, they never intended, or had the least intention to carry.— (Interruption.) He, however, felt great pleasure in opposing the present question, and the Ministers finding themselves in a minority, had apealed to the country, and recent proceedings clearly showed that they had not been very scrupulous in using; them in places, to se cure a majority of supporters.—(Hear, hear.) The Mi nisters told the people they were to have everything cheap—cheap bread, cheap sugar, cheap timber, and cheap tea ; but he must say, that with re spect to the last mentioned article, they had such a very curious mode of cheapening it by block ading the ports of China. Their timber project would have the effect of doing great injury to their own colony of Canada—a colony, be it remembered, that so very lately had so nobly come forward in support of the mother country—and, to save three- fifths of a farthing a pound on the price of sugar (for that was the extent of the reduction), another colony was to be sacrificed, and the great and magnificent experiment the people had made for the abolition of slavery would be destroyed, and all the horrors of slavery revived. He was sure, however, that the people of England had too much good sense to be deceived by such a mischievous project, and the results of the elections showed that this was the case. He was opposed to a fixed duty on corn, and lie was sure that a fixed duty would not act advantageously, and that a sliding-scale was the only real protection to the farmer, while, at the same time, it worked with ge neral advantage to the country. The honourable can didate then congratulated the electors upon the results of the elections, and said that, if they exerted them selves, the victory must be theirs.—(Cheers.) Mr. ALSTON next came forward and was very favour ably received by his supporters. He said the reception he had just experienced satisfied him that his conduct in Parliament had been in accordance with the opinions of his constituents, and he trusted that his votes showed he had been actuated by a desire for the general welfare of the kingdom. He would just allude to the most im portant question to them, that of the Corn-laws, and they were of course all aware how he had voted upon that question. He told the Government that he would support them in the alteration of the timber and sugar duties, but as he went to Parliament upon a positive pledge to oppose any alteration in the Corn-laws, he was determined to redeem it to the very letter.—(Cheers.) Now, however, he stood before them a private indivi dual, and if they returned him it would be unpledged as to any particular course of conduct in reference to this' question. While, however, he said this, he must at the same time express his opinion that the landed interest was entitled to the most substantial pro tection, not at the expense of any other interest, but that all should be equally prosperous ; for if one groat ; interest was depressed the others must equally suffer. Every one, however, must be aware that the present sliding scale was a most slippery protection. It was said that it would prevent fluctuation in prices, and. yet they saw prices varying from 345. to 80s. and it was notorious, that great frauds were practised by pretended sales, where no money passed, the only object being to ereate fraudulent averages for speculating purposes, and causing occasionally large quantities of foreign corn to be admitted at a low rate of duty, to the extent of that quantity so admitted injuring the English agri culturist. If they returned him, therefore, and he had no doubt they would, he could only say that the subject of the Corn-laws should have his most serious consideraihn, and he would never 2.—Light breezes and thick fog.

Grausden, Esq., having read the writ and the Deputy Sheriff having also read the Bribery Act, and made the usual proclamations, the former addressed the electors, and said they were assem bled to perform a most important duty, and he hoped they would listen attentively and quietly to the observa tions of every gentlemen who might address them. W. BAKER, Esq., then proposed Lord Grimston as a candidate, and said that he was their well-known and tried old friend, and he now again came forward with two other Conservative gentlemen nobly to support the rights and liberties of the people.—(Cheers.) It was said that there was a coalition. It was indeed a noble and glorious coalition to protect the old institutions and the Constitu tion of the country from being overset----a coalition to prevent the Corn-laws, which all their interests looked is for support, from being altered, and to preserve and protect the religion of the realm ; and he was satisfied that if there was such a coalition in every county, Old England would again be Old England, and would still hold he: place among the nations of the earth. C. G. THOMSON, Esq., seconded the nomination. W. BLARE then proposed Mr. Alston, amid great cheering from the supporters of that gentleman. He said he had great pleasure in proposing Mr. Alston, be cause his opinions were wholly different from those of the other candidates, and believing, as he did, that the opinions of those gentlemen were detrimental to the best interests of the country, he had therefore great satisfaction in supporting Mr. Alston. who was their decided opponent. He believed that the gentleman who had just been pro posed was too much imbued with Tory principles to do any good for the country, and as he considered Toryism the bane of this country, he was glad to have an opportunity of bringing forward an antidote. Mr. Alston was not an unknown man,—he had already been well tried, and had never been found wanting. And he defied any man to say that he had neglected his duty upon any one occasion. —(Cheers.) And he was quite at a loss to understand why the present attempt had been made to turn him out, by the introduction of three Tory candidates. Ho implored the electors to rescue the country from the infliction of having three Tory Members. He had seen enongh of Tory misrule to in duce him to consider that the establishment of another Tory Government must be looked upon as a national calamity. The Tories had burdened them and their children, and they and their children would have to pay thirty millions a year for ever in consequence of Tory mistakes, Tory misrule, and Tory mismanagement. The present Government he believed had done more for the cause of civil and religious liberty, and im- proving the condition of the country during the last ten years, than the Tories had in a hundred—and for the Reform Bill alone the country would owe them an eter nal debt of gratitude. He called on them, therefore, to show their gratitude by returning Mr. Alston, the sup porter of that Government as their representative. The Hon. W. COWPER seconded the nomination, and said that the electors had only to look to the division lists of the House of Commons to see in what manner Mr Alston perfortned his duty, and they would see that he had never been absent, or neglected his duty, upon any important occasion ; and he had always been a con sistent supporter of the principles upon which he had been returned as their representative.—(Loud cheers.) He gave his support to Mr. Alston because he was one of those who supported the great principle of civil and religious freedom—of those principles of enlightened philanthropy which would give comfort and education to the poor, and freedom to all classes. He was also anxious to give him his sup port, because he was favourable to those great principles of commercial reform which had been developed by the present Government, with the sanction of her Majesty, and which involved the great question whether the manu facturers of the country were to languish and be de stroyed, or whether they were to be placed in a prosper ous and flourishing condition, and as a necessary conse quence, that agriculture should also flourish, for it was impossible that one of those branches of industry could be prosperous while the other was depressed. The Mi nistry had introduced a great experiment to make up the deficiency of the revenue by causing an increase of con sumption of the necessarries of life, and thereby obtain an increased revenue, instead of creating- fresh taxes, and the only real objection the Tories had to the proposed measure, appeared to him to be their dislike to remove taxes of any description. They pretended, certainly, to feel sympathy for the West India planters, but he thought that a protection of 50 per cent. was quite sufficient for them, and that they need not com plain. With respect to the proposed alteration of the Corn-laws, he thought that the apprehensions that were entertained of the results to be apprehended from it were in many instances most absurd, and, in his opi nion, it would not in any way operate to the prejudice of the landholders. Even Sir Robert Peel admitted the present sliding scale could not stand, although he did not say what change he should propose ; and therefore the only question appeared to be, what change should be made. The present sliding scale had entirely failed in its intended operation, and he was convinced that it was injurious to the farmer, and that the moneyed speculator alone benefited by it, and that, if they had a fixed duty, they should secure a uniform and moderate pripe, in.. stead of being subjected to flee violent fluctuations of the present system. The Honourable Gpiitleman then went on to remark upon the addresses that had been moved by the Conservative candidates, and, in allusion to their having called the pre sent Government an unprincipled Administration, asked whetlier that was language becoming honourable Chris tian gentlemen, as they professed themselves. He would not retort the same abuse upon them—the country had to decide between the two parties—and although the Government might suffer temporary defeat, he felt quite sure that the O eTeat principles they had brought forward must eventually be successful, and that truth would ulti mately prevail over error and prejudice. Sir Robert Peel had carefully abstained from binding himself to any fixed course of proceeding, and he considered that he hadi no right to turn out one set of people and then, perhaps, propose the very same measures which they would have carried if they had had the power. He con sidered the present coalition was got up to destroy the independence of the county, which, in former times, had Always been foremost in the cause of re - form, brit he felt convinced the attempt would reline the spirit of the electors—the Tories had Mused the sleeping- lion, and he would never rest till he had destroyed his disturbers—for his part he was deter mined never to relax his exertions until the county was placed in its former position as regarded its representa tives, and he was convinced the same feeling prevailed among the majority of the electors.—(Cheers.) G. F. BOSANQUET, Esq.,then proposed Mr. Abel Smith, and the nomination was seconded by W. PHILIPS, Esq. N. lIIBRAAT, Esq., proposed the Hon. Granville Ryder as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Hertford in Parliament.—(Great cheering from the Conservatives.) He respected Mr. Alston as a private friend and an honourable man, and if the Government hadcontinued in the torpid state they were some time back, he should, very probably, not have offered any op position to his re-election, They had seen the Ministry displaced from power, but still clinging with a desperate tenacity to the petticoats of the Palace, hoping that something in the chapter of accidents might turn up in their favour, and foiled in that hope, they saw them now bring forward a desperate project, involving the interests of the most important institutions of the country, in their dying struggle, expecting that it would give them a little more vitality, and keep them in place a little longer. They had seen these Whigs opposing most strenuously the very same measures when proposed by Messrs. Villiers, Ewart, and Warburton, which they now themselves sub mitted to the country. What was the reason they did so? Was it because their opinions had conscientiously changed respecting them ? No. 'The only reason was because they were in difficulties, and hoped that a little excitement and agitation would enable them to go on for a short time longer. The Ministers told them that they had seriously considered these matters ; if •than were the case, he thought it an additional reason to consent to any alteration which he did not think would give safe and positive protection to the agricultural in terest. He supported the Ministers on the Sugar ques tion, and it was said that this would ruin the West India trade. He was himself a West India proprietor to a small amount, and he could only inform the electors that the sum he had received out of the Compensation Fund amounted to nearly half the value of his property if he had put it up for sale, and the same result had, no doubt, taken place in the case of the other proprietors. Having received the amount, and still retaining the whole of the property, he thought that the planters of the West Indies. ought not to complain of their interests being affected by the proposed change. It was said that there would only be a reduction of three-fifths of a farthing in the pound to the consumer, and if this were so; this small reduction could not injure the West India planters. He, however, thought the reduction would be much . more ; but still he did not see any good reason why the people of this coun try should be deprived of such an advantage, under the circumstances. He likewise supported the proposition respecting timber, because he believed it would be a be nefit to. the people, and would not inflict any real injury. As to the proposed fixed duty, he thought eight shillings too low. lie should propose a duty of twelve, to be afterwards reduced to ten shillings. The Honourable Candidate then alluded to some extraordinary occur rences that had taken place during his canvass, and said that upon one occasion an elector told him that he could not support him because he had signed the requisition to. Mr. Ryder, and he said that the reason he had done so was because he was told that he (Mr. Alston) had re signed,—(Shame.) He had received the information from Baron. Dimsdale l and lie shotild be very glad to hear the eliarge refuted. In another instance, a voter residing at Aldenham, upon being asked for his vote by his landlord for him (Mr. Alston), replied that he had signed the requisition to Mr. Ryder, and he gave as a reason for doing so, that the gentlemen who had can ' vassed him informed him that his landlord had voted for Lord Grimston at the last election. The gentleman in question told him that he could not have voted at that election, because he was in Ireland at the time. He did not think this was a fair way to get up a requisition to a candidate. He then avowed himself a supporter of her Majesty's Ministers, because he said he believed they were desirous of acting in accordance with the best in terests of the country ; and the people might depend that if they did not support them in carrying out their great commercial project, that they would have to submit to the imposition of fresh taxes by the Tories of a character which they would find exceedingly irk some and injurious. He therefore called upon the people tO.support the Ministers, and read an extract from her Majesty's speech at the prorogation of Parliament, and said he hoped that they would act-in accordance with the wish expressed , from the throne.—(Cheers.) At the conclusion .of the Honourable Candidate's ad dress Mr. Blegg, of St. Alban's, claimed a right to offer a few words in explanation of the charge brought for ward by Mr. Alston of improper proceedings adopted to get up the requisition. Mr. BLxGG said the fact was . the person in question was a tenant of a warm supporter of Mr. Alston, but he signed the requisition to Mr. Ryder, in common with a great many of his neighbours, most willingly. His Liberal landlord, however, afterwards took him to task, and pressed him warmly to vote for Mr. Alston. He (M r . Blegg) denied most positively that any representation was made too-the voter, who, •he declared, signed the re _ quisition: of his. own free will, . .-:.-Mr...Auni.-SMITILnext addressed the electors, and said this was the third time he had had the honour of solicit- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE (LLOYD'S).

The course pursued by the Ministry clearly showed that they felt contempt for the landowners, of the Constitution, and of the Pro testant faith, and it was the duty of every man who loved his country to come forward and op pose such a Ministry. The Honourable Candidate then proceeded to state his reasons in opposition to the Ministerial project, and said he hoped soon to see a Government founded on the great principles of Con servative policy, which would pursue a course of sound and well considered reform, and which would strengthen instead of tampering with the civil and religious institu tions of the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. IlvnEß then came forward, and was received with the utmost enthusiam by his friends. He said that although as chairman of a Conservative Association he had done all in his power to support Conservative principles, he should not have thought of coming forward in his present position, if he had not received a requisition, signed by 2,137 electors, calling upon him to do so; and knowing that this number was within a very few of that by which ten years ago the first Whig candidate was returned, he did not think he could be considered as presumptuous in coming forwardas the third Conservative candidate on the present occasion. He had no party views, he abhorred ;party, and he would support no party that he did not think were actuated by sound and honourable political opinions on Church and State. Those were, he believed, the principles of Conservatism as diametrically opposed to the opinions entertained by her Majesty l s present advisers. They had been living on negatives for a great many years. What had they done for the coun try ? All they had done for agriculture that he knew of was to take the tax off shepherds' dogs.—(Laughter.) They had now placed that important question of the Corn-laws in the position of open antagonist principle to every other great interest of the empire, and this was a position agriculture did not deserve to be placed in. 'What mighty change had taken place since last year to induce Lord Melbourne now to agitate society to its foundation ? It could only be accounted for by his desire that he should not be agitated out of his place. This, however, was not the only question upon which the present Ministry had eaten their words, and had found them very hard of digestion ; they had done the same with the famous appropriation clause, but although they found they could not carry . that, they still appropriated to themselves place r pension, and pelf. Their conduct had been similar with respect to Church rates, and, although Lord John Russell had positively pledged himself as to the finality of the Reform Bill, he was the first to propose to alter it by introducing an en tirely . new Bill for Ireland, and by proposing to effect a material alteration in the franchise in England. He con sidered that such political conduct as this warranted the country in withdrawing its confidence from such an administration, and from all those who gave it their sup port. The Hon. Candidate then went oa to declare him self opposed to the Ministerial project respecting timber, sugar, and corn, and with respect to the latter he ex pressed his opinion that the present sliding scale re quired modification, but he expressed himself favourable to the principle of a sliding scale instead of a fixed duty. He did not think they could place much confidence in his Hon. Opponent upon this question, for upon general questions he supported the Government, and it was therefore very probable that he would give them his support upon this. He concluded by calling upon the county to express their opinion of a Ministry governed by that arch demagogue O'Connell, who had openly expressed his intention to do his utmost to sever Ireland from this country and deprive the Crown of one of its brightest jewels, knowing at the same time that this could only be effected by a civil war ; that man, however, did not care what occurred, so that he was alloWed to rule Ireland for his own benefit, and for the benefit of the dastardly Government which he upheld—that Ministry had thrown the cry of cheap bread as an additional firebrand among the people, but he hoped that from it there would arise avenging flames to consume them. Mr. H. G. WARD then said he had two or three ques tions to put to the Hon. Candidate. Ji.n the first place he should be glad to know whether he concurred in the sentiments uttered by the gentleman who seconded him, in reference to that measure, Mr. RYDER said he did entirely. He agreed, to the fullest extent, with the principle of the measure ; but he should be very glad to see an amelioration in any of the details that seemed to press mostly upon the deserving poor.--(Cheers.) Mr. WARD—AS Mr. Ryder objected to the Govern ment plan in reference to Church-rates, he should be glad to know what arrangement he should propose to substitute. Mr. RYDER said it could not be expected, in the situa tion he was placed, that he should have a plan to settle the Church-rate question ready cut and dried, and he should decline to pledge himself on such an important question that had puzzled their heads for the last ten years. Mr. WARD then inquired what sort of sliding-scale Mr. Ryder would propose in lieu of the present scale of protecting duties on corn ? Mr. RYDER said he could not be expected, npon'such a momentous subject, to say what course he thought should be pursued, at that moment. He must, there fore, decline to give any pledge. The Htoii SHERIFF then called for a show of hands, which wa; deciared to be in favour of Lord Grimston, Mr. Smith, and Mr, Ryder. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Algol l and, after a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, the doctors quietly dispersed.

BERLIN, JUNE 28.—0 n the 25th of this month Count Bruhl had his final audience of the King at Potsdam, previous to setting out on his return to Rome. M. Eichhern, Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, was pre sent. It is generally said that he has received the most conciliatory instructions ; that the Court accedes to all the proposals of the Roman Curia which are compatible with the dignity and inalienable rights of the Crown, and which tend to peace. lIANovER, JUNE 30.—The Assembly of the Estates has been dissolved to-day. As the Constitution autho rises the Government, in case of a dissolution, to collect the existing taxes for another year, so that the consent of the Estates is not necessary for that period, the taxes will be levied accordingly. The Estates have been as sembled for four weeks. This is indeed a short time ; but, considering what the Second Chamber has done, it is too long. The majority have perhaps been remiss with design ; but then why should the country pay them for doing nothing ? If inaction was a concert and plan of the Opposition, it should at least take no pay for its idleness, and defray the expense of Radical dinners and Opposition fetes out of its own pocket. The country had no concern with the opinions of the Opposition, ex cept that it had to pay for the utterance of them in the Chamber three dollars a day, which no patriot refused to take from a consciousness of having done nothing to earn them.—Hamburgh Papers.

THE SHIP WILLIAM BROWN.—The feeling through out the country on the conduct of the mate and seamen on board the boat from which some seventeen Irish pas sengers were thrown into the sea, is uniform, and without exception, in accordance with the vie- -. „ taken by ourselves of that atrocious transac% ion. A very sensible writer in the Boston Mercantile. Jour nal thus forcibly discourses on the sub;.,ect :—The rights of passengers on this and some other points might be well defined, and well known.

Perhaps, in the meantime, an old sailor like yourself can tell us what you consider the rights of the parties, and also what are the respective rights of cabin and steerage passengers in case of ship wreck. What think you of the following little incident re lated to me by a passenger from Liverpool, a year or two since ? The fine ship . . . . was bounding swiftly across the Banks, when a thick fog came up, and the thermometer indicated our approach to ice. My friend was keeping the night watch in company with the Oo . ful master of the ship, and noticed that all the grrAings, but one, over the two hundred steerage passengers, were carefully secured, and that bars were close at hand to fasten down the remaining one. It, enquired the cause of this arrangement. Sir, Er a ys the captain, in case we get into trouble MOD; the ice, my mate has orders, first of all, to fasten.d:wn that grating, and then the steerage passengers w; 4 l t be kept below until the cabin passengers and crew a ..... e off the gratings and, in the boats, then we shall take will hold. , save as many of them as the boats A CHILD TGOST IN THE WOODS.—A daughter of Mr. David W. - Boobar, of Linneus, in Aroostook county, on the ny;ening of the 4th inst., was sent by her mother to a nr.aghbour'r house, half a mile distant, to borrow a little flour for breakfast. The girl is only nine years of age, and in going through the woods, lost her way. The next morning about forty of the neighbours col lected and went in pursuit, but returned without any tidings of the child. The next day the company was increased to sixty persons. and searched the woods all day with no better success. On the following day be tween two and three hundred of the settlers assembled early in the morning, their hearts swelling with sympathy, and all eager to restore the little wanderer to the arms of its despairing parents. The company set out for a thorough and a last search. The child had been in the woods three days and three nights, and many hearts were sunk in despondency at the utter hopelessness of finding it alive. But to learn its fate or restore it was the indomitable purpose of each. Half the day had been expended in entering the forest. It was time to think of returning, but who could think of doing so while an innocent child might be wan dering but a few rods in advance ? On the company pushed, still deeper into the dense wilds. The sun had reached the meridian, and was dipping down toward the west.

She did not appear to be frightened ; sh e said she had lain in the woods three nights, and had not s een or heard ' any wild beasts, and that she thought she should get to Mr. Howard's for the flour before ni g h t ! At first she did not appear hungry or weak, but after eating a piece of bread her cries for more were very piteous. She was found about three miles from where she entered the woods. Her clothing was very thin, and the large shawl she had on when she left home she had carefully folded 1 and placed in the pillowcase, not even putting it over her during the night, as she innocently said, ,t o keep from dirtying it, or her mother would whip her." Our informant states that she is now doing well, and as happy as other children. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE. Early in the morning yesterday, a carpenter named Daniel Savage, purchased some arsenic, exhibited it to his wife, telling her that he was going to take it, and asked for a tumbler to mix it in. His wife did not oppose his purpose, but ran up stairs to inform her neighbour, a Mrs. Lovett, that her " husband was going to take poison." They both came down before he had prepared the fatal draught, and looked on while he mixed and drank it ! He died after suffering great and irremediable agony for six hours. He was fifty years of age. His wife said she " dared not Oppose him, ' meaning that she was so much afraid of his violence. Six years ago the de ceased took a similar dose, but by prompt remedies suc ceeded in saving his life. The Jury returned a ;verdict of " Suicide, by taking poison in the presence of his wife." An interesting question will arise upon this extraor dinary affair, whether the wife, in thus permitting the deceased to destroy himself, has committed any offence at common law ? Dr. Geyer, at whose shop the arsenic was purchased, says, that "it was a very pure and active EAST INDIA SHIPPING. • -a...a.... • .
