"It should, however, Le observed," they proceel, " that the omission to charge the expenses 'of the agencies mentioned took place in 'pursuance of thespractice observed in previous half-years in relation to those heals of expenses; it bt - ing stated that those balances were left in suspetike under an ex pectation that some arrangement might be effected with the South'Eastern and Continfntal Steam-Packet Com pany, which would affect their ultimate destination in the accounts. The responsibility attaching to the mode adopted in making up the accounts for the, half-year, 31st July, 1848, rests with Ur. Pritchard, the then de puty-chairman, as that gentleman admits; and be having, in reply-to the requisition made to him by your com mittee for explanation, stated, in writincr, the grounds on which he considered the course he had aken to be a warrantable and proper one, your committee consider it due to Mr. Pritchard tn place his statement on this sub ject before you."

"It is obvious that this expenditure for the permanent establishment and protection of the company in the pos session of the south-eastern district, and of the conti nental traffic, ought to have been charged to capital, and not to the current expenses of the year. "It should be added that during the years 1845, 1846, 1847, and 1848, the company were paying rates on ex tortionate assessments on unproductive as well as on pro ductive property, bat in these years the directors had their attention and energies absorbed in the measures be fore Parliament absolutely essential for the existence of the company, and it was, moreover, necessary to endea vour to ensure general favour and support, and to conci liate local authorities. These circumstances prevented the strenuous resistance to these overcharges which the directors would, in other circumstances, have given to them, and which resistance, since the contests ceased, the company are making with success. " I consider that the excessive payments for rates were fairly looked on as part of the company's Parliamentary expenditure. " The charge of interest to construction account on unproductive capital is made upon an admitted principle, with the consent of ell men who have studied the subject, and it has been repeatedly confirmed by the proprietors. " I consider that the gross amount of just relief to re venue, warrantable under the circumstances described, was effected by the aggregate of the charges in question. "I do not think it necessary to occupy the time of the committee in dwelling on the additional expenditure which occurred in the locomotive departments and iu.the' maintenance of the permanent way, occasioned by the company becoming possessed of a large number of long boiler engines, with other matters of detail; but if it be wished to pursue the subject, the correspondence that took place between the Board of Trade and the company in October, 1844, may be referred to. " It is a matter of regret that Lord Dalhousie's report on the Kentish system of railways, which would have' prevented all Parliamentary strife, and would have en abled the South-Eastern Company long since to complete all the railway communication requisite for that district, was not adopted by Parliament. " My whole study, in the policy to which I have been a party in the management of the South-Eastern Railway Company, has been to protect the property and to pro mote the interest of the permanent stockholder. • " I am, sir, your most obedient servant, " JAMES MAC GREGOR.

My opinion of Moses' is this, That their warehouse has nothing amiss ; For many a year have I tried The garments by Moses' supplied, And finding how business is done, I can rwommend Moses and Son. I've a bill on my file you must know, . . Which is dated just - twelve years ado, When first I was tempted to try The garments of Moses' supply, And ever since then I've been one ' - , ,To suet ort Messrs. Moses and Son; For during the whole of the term. Not a fault have I seen in the firm. The various promises made t Have all been fulfilled in their trade, And the more I have known of the mart, The more have I acted my part. In furnishing stylish attire Messrs. Moses are all I desire; And I've equally found them outdo, In make and material too. These praises will also apply To the boots and the shoes that you buy; -: Nor can I say less of the shop, With prime Paris hats for the top ; And the hosiery shows what the trade is, And the beautiful shawls for the ladles ; There's nothing, in fact, that you buy. But ranks the proprietors high. The whole of the houses; as one, • Do credit to Moses and Son. Then look at what savings are made Ily the very low price that is paid. The strictest economy here Is constantly found to appear. In all things the warehouse discloses I:. What scarcely a stranger supposes, And that's my opinion of Moses. i - LIST OF PRICES.

Dillidence or a tense of right determine the former, and miscalc u l a t e d hope's em- Oitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indLssoluhle, regret un zomprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. lionour and justice demand that health should form au itell4 in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance.

The report stated that, at the last anniversary, a decayed member of the trade, who was formerly a life subscriber, was elected as the first pensioner on the funds. The sum allowed for temporary relief, amount ing to 151., bad all been - expended, and the case of one of the recipients would illustrate the usefulness of the institution. One of the largest newsvenders in the City, who had been a liberal contributor to the funds, died a short time ego, leaving his widow so reduced as to com pel her to apply to the committee for temporary relief. The committee granted her 101. Three members in all had applied for and obtained relief. The receipts of the past year amounted to 111/, and the expenditure to 100/., leaving a balance of 11/. in hand. The funded capital amounted to 1,0001. The donations received since the report was drawn up amounted to nearly 50/. The report baying been adopted, the officers for the en suing year were elected, and the meeting closed with the usual compliment to the chairman. T URNPIK E TOLLS IN Tro METROPOLITAN 80..

S. Wilkinson, of 'St. Mildred's - court; a 10th April r oge• from Mr. Josiah Wilson,' of'Stamford hill, both those gentlemen being shareholders. "The statement of Mr. M. L.. Pritchard," the report proceeds, "is confined almost exclusively to explanations respecting the part , he personally bore in • the transactions had by : the•company in its own shares, and in the making up of the accounts. for the half. year ending 31sfJubr, 1848. All 'the other statemeats consist of allegations of discrepancies in the accounts,' and of acts of irregularity or impolicy in thetmanage-' merit of the affairs of the company. The Manchester statement, clearly drawn up and promptly submitted, was confided unreservedly to your committees for in. vestigation, as was also that of Mr. R. S.' Wilkinson.' This proper and business-like course of the Manchester' proprietors was not taken by the other parties, Messrs. Cunliffe, Thomson, Rrogden, and Wilson; they were not; Content that your committee should investigate, but' sought each for himself, and in his own way, to conduct, an investigation into particular allegatiOns or sug gestions put forward by him, and so to subordinate the duly constituted authority of the - committee to the unauthorised pretensions . of individuals. Your committee saw no grounds -for, and therefore re• fused to sanction so unusual thanm evoedreoess, tendered procedure,fle to con ceiving it to be calculated t o im p ede the le g itimate course of the inquiry ;they, those gentlemen their distinct rindertaking and assur ance that any statement they plight put in would re ceive full investigation; and at length, after much dis cussion, hesitation, and delay, they placed their respec tive statements in the hands of your committee.

TILE INVESTMENT ACCOUNT. • Somo extremely injurious reports were circulated pre vious to the last half-yearly meeting respecting the man ner in which the following resolution of the board of di rectors, dated 26th Oct., 1847, , had been carried out, viz.: --" Resolved--That a sum of money beinvested either in the paid- up stock or the No. 4 shares of the South-Eastern Railway, at the discretion of the finance committee, to meet the accounts sent in by J. P. Fearon, Fearn and Clabon, and Robt. M. Stephenson." The amount claimed was by Fearon and Clabon 116:463/. 63. 10d., and by R. Stephenson 20,8391. 53. 2d., or in the total 137,302/. 12s. On the 25th May, 1848, the board of directors passed the following resolntion:—" That the shares purchased under the resolution of the board of the 26th Oct., 1847, be sold and converted in No. 2 and. No. 3 shares." At this date the investment consisted of 430 old shares, 469 No. 1 shares, 101 No. 3 shares, and 6,346 No. 4 shale?. With the exception of " the old shares the whole of the above yet remain on hand,- notwithstanding the order made by the board for the sale, and, say the committee of investigation, "instead of the intention of that order being carried into effect, which appears to have been merely to vary the description of stock, the investment was very largely increased; for although No. 2 and'No. 3 shares were brought under its authority, none of the shares previously purchased were sold, excepting the old shares referred to. "Reckoning the dividends and interest on shares at 7,681 L to ls t 3 ll . e 4d c . o , m equalpa) r from t oaboutthis invest ment4i pe the rate declared at the last h a lf- yearly meet i ng, t h e an nual income derivable be r cent. per annum. The committee state that a list of the transferors of the registered shares have been laid before your committee, from which it does not appear that such shares were bought of persons, having any official con nexion with the company. And the committee further state there appears no reason for doubting that the in vestment was intended by the directors to be bona fide for the object declared in the resolution of October, 1847, nevertheless, your committee disapprove of the measure itself upon the general pri nc ipl e o f t h e inexpediency of public company entering the market as a pu rchaser of its own stock. "But having regard to the actual transactions which took place subsequently to the resolution of Dray, 1848, under cover of its authority, your committee cannot too strongly condemn the utter disregard exhibited of the recorded order of the board of directors. _ _ _ sold, but further large purcbasee, to the extent of " Not only were the shares orderJ . to be sold not dou bling the amount of the original investment, were made c r o s m as pa a nmy, sometimesemot firmin his o of the very description of stock di recte d to b e so l d, the acting broker being Mr. M.

One of the most serious charges against the chairman of the company and some of his co!kagues was a n al leged improper series of transactions with the company's money, in Consols and Exchequer-bills. It appears from their committee's report that the transactions under these heads originated in the neces sity for making provision for the Parliamentary deposits, and commenced with the purchase of Exchequer -bills and Consols by the company, "October, 1845. The report states that— "The total expense attending these loan transactions, by way of interest, commission, and continuation charge; does not readily appear on reference to the books, the items being for the most part mixed up in the general interest account of the company; but from the examina tion made by the committee, with a view to ascertain the point, it appears, after allowing for interest on Ex chequer-bills and dividends on Consols, to amount to 13,0001., or thereabouts. The average purchase price of the Consols was 98 3-16, and the average sale price 85, resulting in a less of 13,1624 10s." The report proceeds: " The most important result of the investigation of this particular account is, that your committee aro enabled to report that the proceeds of the Parliamentary deposits and of tho several investments made in connexion with them, are satisfactorily accounted for in the books of the company; at the same time they cannot but express their regret th a t th e transac tions were not entered in a more clear and ex pli c it man ner in the bo o k s; had that been done the ques ti ons w hi c h have been r a i se d i n rela tion to them c ou ld never h ale existed." A detailed re port of the accountants of the examination made by them of this account is given in the appendix. LOAN OF 15,0601. TO MESSRS. W. SCOTT AND SON. Another strong charge against the chairman of the company was an alleged improper loan of 15,000/. to the above-na me d gentlemen.

THEENCDHINAGROJEANO.F37IEB4s9u3: In reference to th e it ems of which this OF 14,879/. 3s. TO THE DEBIT OF PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT FOR THE lIALF.YEAR amount is cora -1 land: ... 1,300 0 0: On other matters ... 7,000 0 0 £20,000 0 0 -leaving the sum of 11,9011. 15s. 2d. to represent the amount of the professional charge for business done during a period of two years and two months. The com mittee state that in reference to the question of taxation they find that the bills have not been taxed, but that the charges have been made upon the same principle and scale of charge, maintained on the taxation. of the for mer solicitors' bills, and that it is satisfactory to know that the large amount of costs incurred on the taxation and arbitrations referred to—viz., 5,4534 Is., has not been unproductive of benefit, the proceedings, so far as they tire terminated, having resulted favourably to the interests of the company, by eff cting deductions ifrom various claims to -the extent of no less a sum than 65,9551. 2s. 63. AS TO WHETHER BOOKS HAVE BEEN WITHHELD FROM DIRECTORS. . Tho committee state that it does not appear that any of the banking books, or books of account, have at any time been withheld from the directors, or any one of Vieth. With respect to the statement of Mr. Thomson, made at the last half-yearly meeting—namely, that being " ap pointed in March one of the finance committee, ho was summoned only once to attend up to the month of ©u-. gust, and was kept iu the dark as to the proceedings,". the committee say that it implies a grave accusation, which, however, is not reconcilable with the fact that from March to September 'Mr. Thomson signed 288 cheques ts„ . 3 a member of the finance committee, not one ; week el a psing during that period in which one or morel of such cheques were signed. During the yes r ended the 31st January, 1849, Messrs. Thvasou, Brogden,, and Pritchard, appear from the , boOks to have been constant in their attendance at the board meetings; and your committee cannot reconcile the fact of such attendance with the allegation that they, or either of them, were excluded from a due share in the management or knowledge of the company's affairs, more especially as your committee find, from the number of cheques bearing their signatures, that those gentlemen took an active part in that important branch of manage ment—the disbursement of the company's funds. AS TO TAE. COST OF TUE DIRECTORY. No fees of any description have been received by the chairman since his election as a director in October. 1844. Your committee have now laid before you the result of their inquiries into certain specific matters which have been brought under their investigation from various quarters; and others, not separately treated of, are em braced in the REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTANTS. This report, which is given entire in the appendix, at tached to that of the committee, sets forth the result of the general examination made by those gentlemen into the accounts of the company for the three years ended 31st January, 1849, and embraces, with the exception of about four months, the period during which the present chairman of the company has held that office, he having b en appointed thereto in the month of September, 1845. From the accountant's report, it appears that sums pro perly chargeable to the debit of revenue during the period under investigation have been charged, and now stand to the debit of construction, to the extent of 107,9321. 14s. I Id. The committee say, " They feel called upon to depre cate strongly this mode of dealing with the sums form ing this amount in the books and accounts of the corn• pany; it is in their opinion at variance with every safe and sound principle of mercantile economy, they have accordingly felt it their duty to make strict inquiry, in order to ascertain the authority upon which it was re sorted to, and to discover the grounds, if any, upon which it could be justified. " Your committee find, from evidence given by Mr. Chubb, the compa❑y's accountant, which is printed in the appendix (I), that his instructions with respect to the half-yearly accounts were usually received by him from the deputy-chairman; nevertheless, your Committee cannot exonerate the board of directors from tho responsibility attaching to this procedure. On this important point your committee required an explana tion from the chairman, who attended them, and stated the reasons, which, at the request of the committee, ho reduced to writing, and they are embodied in the fol lowing letter addressed to your conimittoc:— " South Eastern Railway, London Terminus, May 8, 1849. " Sir,—l beg leave, in accordance with the wish of the committee, to place the following observations before them in writing regarding the accounts of the company, and the relict that has been given to the account of revenue by charges to the account of construction. "It has appeared to me indisputable that all &raves of disbursements which affected the permanent interests cf th 3 company, ex - pen:led at any particular pressure or emergency, (lid not belong to the current expenses of the particular moment, but should be charged, in account, as an expenditure of capital. Such disbursements are there by made to extend over all future years, and are thus comparatively unfelt. " 'this principle applies equally whether such expen diture be incurred in the payment of fees to the officers of the Houses of Parliament during the progress of Bills promoted, payments to engineers, solicitors, c o unse l, and landowners, or in large sums advanced in the management o! the traffic not expected to obtain imme diate advantages at the period when incurred, but laid out from motives of sound policy for the enduring inte rests and welfare of the company, with a confident trust that all sack payments made bona fide were properly charges' to capital account. " T dis lass of payments also belongs the additional expen - are which arises in the establishment of any new bliiness of tlae,company. " It S,.ould be borne in mind that until my services were cicyote , ..l, to the interests of the company, the whole of their-carrying trade was in the hands of carriers, the head of a carrying firm being then chairman of the com pany. I refer you on this point to the financial report of the directors, p. 15. It is there stated that the receipts from goods, which averaged weekly 6081 in 1844, amounted to 1,8101. per week in 1848; or, in the former year, to 61. 12s. per mile per week, and to 1 9 1. per mile per week in the latter. Tnot increase is attributable mainly to the fact, that the company have, since . 1844, become the car... ra of goods on their own lines; partly to the accession of continental traffic, which is yet un developed, but which, it is confidently expected, will be soon greatly increased. It must be obvious that expen diture was necessary in the establishment and acquisition of the traffic referred to; and it would have hem mani festly unjust to have charged against the revi,nuo of any particular period expenditure for the enhancement of the company's general and permanent interests. " On the dissolution of the locomotive agreement be tween the South-Eastern, Brighton, and Croydon Corn panics, in 1845, the portion of the locomotive and carriage stock which became the separate property of the South-Eastern Company was received in a dilapidated condition. All expenditure isvuirred in UM repair of that stock to make it as ge .s now , i s a char g e to be made to capkrtl account. " That a e :rrent was entered into at a t ime when the South-Easte . lompany had no locomotive works of its own, and it was a p..ijudicial bargain. The loss on thcsa repairs should be taken as part of the.charges of establishing the company. " As a measure of policy a n d expediency, pending the company's application to Parliament, and by way of experiment the company car. the public at very low fares, v h frcqus.nt trains, from September, 1845, to September, 1846. Th number of trains run was more th an double that now in use. There was an increase, during the -tear of these low fare - .f 50 per cent. in the "John Ball, Esq , Secretary, Committee of hTql;iri." " While your 'committee admit that there is justice in the reasoning contained in this letter, it is their de cided opinion that such a course ought never to be adopted without the previous knowledge and sanction of the proprietors. " It further appears, from the accountant's report, that had the accounts ben strictly made up so as to in clude all the expenditure incurred, as well as that ac tually paid during the period, and had the probable losses from bad debts been written off, and had the full amount of stores consumed been charged, the actual available profit would have appeared further reduced by the sum of 33,8421. 13s. 9d., to which has to be added the item of 8,2691. 6s. Id., carried to credit of revenue in btead of capital. " With respect to the interest on the No. 3 and No. 4 shares, payable out of capital under the authority of a general meeting of proprietors, your committee are of opinion that it is of essential importance that a speedy determination of that arrangement be effected by the prompt completion of those lines and works for which those capitals were created." REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF INVESTIGATION. "Inasmuch as part of the capital raisecLby No. 3 and No. 4 shares has been applied to the goner purposes of the company, a proportionate amount of interest thereon should have been deducted from the total charge before placing it to the debit of capital; in other words, that the interest on so much of those capitals as as been used for the purposes of the main line, should Have gone to the debit of traffic, which had been receiving the be nefit of such expenditure. " With regard to the general question of interest on No. 3 and No. 4 shares, it appears that a portion of it is payable in respect of lines and works opened for traffic. Having regard to this fact, and to the expectation that the North Kent line, on which by far the larger propor tion of those capitals has been expended, will be opened for traffic on the Ist July next, your committee recommend that, from and after the termination of the current half-year—i. e., from the Ist of August, 1849, the No. 3 and No. 4 shares should cease to carry inte rest, and become entitled, i❑ lieu thereof, to participate in dividends, revenue account receiving credit for inte rest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum only on such part of the capital as shall have then been expended on unproductive works. Your committee, in recommending this arrangement, do so on the assumption that it may be carried into effect with a due regard to existing ar rangements. " — Your committee have ascertained that, subject to the considerations arising out of the interest on the No. 3 and No. 4 shares, the revenue account for the half year 31st of January, 1849, as published, is substantially correct, the books having been cleared of all outstanding accounts then in suspense." POSITION AND PROSPECTS OF THE COMPANY. "The permanent way and rolling stock of the com pany are reported by the engineer in chief and heads of departments to be in a ver y sat i s f actory state. No pro vision has hitherto been made to meet the deterioration of the permanent wa y. I ncreased experience in the practical working of railways has recently brought this important subject prominently before those concerned in their management; and the nec ess ity o f ma ki ng suc h provision is obvious and unquestionable. Tho question has a two-fold bearing, relating to the depreciation already sustained by past and that which will rosult from future traffic, and great consideration will be required in determining the amount of the fund requisite for both purposes, and the manner in which that fund should be provided. And although the unfinished state of its lines and works renders the precise and immediate solution of this important question by the South Eastern Com pany difficult, if not impossible, the committee strongly recommend that the directors be required to forthwith commence the formation of a fund for the support of this branch of expenditure on the principle of an annual reserve to accumulate at compound interest. The working stock should be maintained in a constant state of effi ciency out of revenue. The committee have examined the statement of financial position of the company, issued by the directors in January last. It was based upon estimates which have been laid before your committee and upon the books of the company; and the committee, assuming the correctness of the estimates, believe that statement to be a substantially correct exposition of the ways and means of the company, and its liabiliti es on capital account, so far as concerns the works contem plated by the directors in January. But the directors have informed I.he committee that circumstances, and a maturer consideration of the subject, and especially with reference to the representations under which Parlia ment entrusted them with their powers, have led them to the conclusion that an additional outlay of about 140,0001., not contemplated in January, will be ulti mately required to be expended in works which they had hoped to avoid. Notwithstanding the extraneous additions to the capital account sct forth in the report of the acecuutants (which do not affect the stability or permanent prosperity of the company), the committe are enabled to state their.firm conviction that the position of the company is sound and its prospects favourable. Satisfactory results are especially to be looked for from the opening of the North Kent line and the continued development of the continental and goods traffic. 3IANAGEMENT. After adverting to the disunion at the board of direc tors, the committe!. reoommend— I. The formation of an efficient board of directors, and that the system of dividing the hoard intocommittees to undertake the more immediate superintendence of the several branches of management be adopted; such divi sion may, in the opinion of your committee, be conve nizntly made for the purpose of Accounts and Finance, Road and Traffic, Locomotion and Stores. Such committees to be subject to the control of the ge neral board, to whom regular worts of their proceed ings should be made. " 2. That the number of directors bo not less than 10. " 3. That the directors be fairly remunerated for for their services. While giving this recom mendation, your committee express their opinion that the most useful principle on which to apportion the directors' fund is to accord to each member a moderate fixed sum by way of a retain ing fee, beyond which ho should be entitled only in pro portion to his attention to the business of the company; the directors' remuneration to be the subject of an an nual vote of the proprietors. " 4. That an efficient audit of the company's accounts be established. " Your committee recommend that three au ditors be appointed—namely, two proprietors , and one' professional accountant. salary, A I7 i i t o h s r t o e a s d p respect f t t t b o o t employment e and o fpayment eorik soli citors a in the ordinary way, your committee are of opinion that that course cannot be adopted in the present state of the company's works and affairs with safety or advan tage ; how far it may become desirable on the comple tion of all the company's works, when its business will be solely that of traffic, is a question which your com mittee would leave to the consideration of a future period. Whilst your committee thus discharge their duty in commen ting on the past management of the company, and in freely offering their suggesti ons f or the futurecon duct of its affairs, they cannot too strongly inculcate upon the proprietors the absol u t e , th e N ita nsportance o t of the in j theirouwr injurious o interests disputes which, b iob, termination, originatingspeedyin t the and b o final,ar room, have extended to the court of proprietors, and di vided,,itlna tihne opinion of f your committee, the minority in the direction are bound t o re ti re as first step towards the restoration of harmony and confidence. "Your committee are anxious that all party feeling should subside, and past events be only remembered as a beacon in the future p rogress o f th e com p an y' s affairs. With that end accomplished, and an efficient directory, supported by the confidence of the proprietors, your 2. In consequence of the unexpected arr'val of vessels with merchandise at the port of Quebec, it became neces sary for me to prcceed, on a short notice, to Parliament, on Wednesday last, in order to give the Royal assent to a Customs Bill which had that day passed the Legisla tive Coancil; and I considered that, as this necessity Lad arisen, it would not be expedient to keep the public mind in suspense by omitting to dispose, at the same time, of the other Acts in which the two branches of the local Parliament had at an earlier period of the session concurred, and which still awaited my decision. Among these was the Act so provide for the indemnification of parties in Lower Canada whose property was destroyed during the rebellion in 1837 and 1838, with respect to which, as your Lordship is aware, much excitement has unhappily been stirred. 3. I herewith enclose, for your Lordship's perusal, a printed copy of the Act in question, and I shall not fail by the first mail to furnish you with full information re specting its character and objects, :the circumstances, which led to its introduction, and the grounds on which I resolved, after much reflection, to sanction it. No money can be paid under it as indemnity for a consider able period, so that her Majesty's power of disallowance can be exercised with effect, should her Majesty be so advised, notwithstanding the course which I have taken. As lam writing this dispatch in haste, with a view to its transmission by way of New York, I shall confine myself for the present to a statement of the proceedings by which the peace of the city has been disturbed. 4. In order, however, to render this narrative intel ligible, I must premise that for some time past the House of Assembly, as at present constituted, has been the object of bitter denunciation, and not unfrequently of reckless menace, on the part of a certain portion of the press of the province, and more especially of that of Montreal. Your Lordship will probably recollect that the body in question is the product of a general election which took place about eighteen months ago, under the auspices of the political party now in opposi tion, and after a dissolution, to which I had recourse on their advice, for the purpose of strengthening them in their position as a Government. The resalt of this measure was in the last degree unfavourable to those who had recommended it ; not, however, so much so in Lower Canada, where the complexion of the representa tion was little affected by the dissolution, as in the upper province, where several constituencies, among which were some of the most populous, rejected Conservative in favour of Liberal candidates. On a question of con fidence raised at the commencement of the session, im mediately after the general election, the Administration was defeated by a majority of more than two to one, and a change of Government, as a matter of course, ensued. 5. This alteration in the political complexion of the Assembly, and the change of Government consequent upon it, were therefore clearly and distinctly traceable to a revulsion of sentiment in the British constituencies of Upper Canada. In Lower Canada nothing had occurred to account for either. This circumstance has. however, failed to secure for the decisions of the popular representative body either forbearance or respect from a certain section of those who profess to be emphati cally the supporters of British interests. To de nounce the Parliament as French in its composition, and the Government as subject to French influ ences, has been their constant object, and the wildest doctrines have been broached with respect to the right which belongs to a British minority of re dressing by violence any indignity to which it may bo subjected from such a source. I have now before me an article that appeared in one of the principal English newspapers of Montreal at a very early period of the session, of which I transcribe the concluding paragraph, as illustrative of the temper and language in which, even at that time, and before the public' stiff & had been ex cited by the discussion of the Rebellion Losses Bill, a portion of the press ventured to criticise the proceedings of the local Parliament. The article treats of a measure affecting the townships, to which, I believe, no great ob jection was raised in Parliament. It terminates, how ever, in the words—" We are very glad of it—the sooner the cloven foot is made visible the better; the obvious in tention of that majority, composed of Frenchmen, aided by traitorous British Canadians, is to force French in stitutions still further upon the British minority in Lower Canada. The intention is obvious, as we said, and we are glad that it is openly shown. We trust that the party of the Government will succeed in every one of their obnoxious measures. When French tyranny becomes insupportable we shall find our Cromwell. Sheffield, in the olden times, used to be famous for its keen and well tempered whettles; well, they mako bayonets there now, just as sharp and just as well-tempered. When we can stand tyranny no longer, it will be seen whether good bayonets in Saxon hands will not be more than a match for a mace and a majority." 6. To persons accustomed to the working of constitu tional government in well-ordered communities it may seem incredible that such language should be employed by the organs of any respectable party in reference to a body comprising the freely•chosen representatives of a constituency formed on a most popular basis; but the cause of the anomaly is apparent enough to all who are acquainted with the history of Canada. For a series of years the popular representative body and the Execu tive, supported by the Legislative Council, were, in the lower province especially, in a condition of almost con stant antagonism. To revile the one was the surest test of patriotism; to denounce the other, of loyalty. In a society singularly democratic in its structure, where diversities of race supplied special elements of confusion, and where consequently it was most important that con stituted authority should be respected, the moral influ ence of law and government was enfeebled by the exist ence of perpetual strife between the powers that ought to have afforded to each other a mutual support. No state of affairs could be imagined less favourable to the extinction of national animosities, and to the firm estab lishment of the gentle and benignant control of those liberal institutions which it is England's pride and pri vilege to bestow upon her children. 7: I am not without hope that a steady adherence to the principles of constitutional government, and the con tinuance of harmony between the co-ordinate branches of the Legislature, may lead in the process of time to the correction of these evils; meanwhile, however, I must ascribe mainly to the cause which I have assigned the tone of arrogant defiance with which the resolutions, not of the Government only, but also of the Parliament, are treated by parties who happen for the moment to be unable to make their views prevail with either, and the acts of violence to which this inflammatory language has in the present instance led. 8. That many persons conscientiously disapprove of the measure respecting rebellion losses in Lower Ca nada which has been introduced by the Government, and which the local Parliament has passed by large majorities, and that in the minds or others it stirs national antipathies and recollections of former conflicts, which designing politicians seek to im prove to their own selfish ends, cannot, I fear, be doubted. It is therefore emphatically a measure which should have been approached with calmness and caution, by all at least who are not directly interested in the issue. Unfortunately, however, this has been by no means the case. Not only have appeals to passion of the most reckless description proceeded from the local press, but they have received encouragement from quarters from which they had little right to look for it. Passages such as the following, in which a London journal of in fluenceh treats of the Bi itish population as allect i ed t b e y t e measure in question:—" They are tolerably take e a n b s e truethe care of themselves, and we very much misconstrue public in tone adopted by the English press %d m English eement which is means of resisting andconstrued with avidity, aimed at them," are read theth e provinceheavy h w they and d o greatnot find ci s s; e m n r mean will be extended from influential quar ters at hyongatethoythose who seek to annul the obnoxi ouson o f the local legislature, whatever be the decision that isi s eans to which they resort for the attainment of that end. 9. The scenes by which the city of Montreal has been lately disgraced are the natural fruits of an agitation of this character, operating on a people of an exciteable temper, who have been taught to believe that a race which they despise, and over which they have been wont to exercise dominion, has obtained, through the operation of a constitutional system, an authority which it could not otherwise have acquired. Hence, more es• pecially, their vehement indignation against me person ally, and the conviction, in many cases I doubt not per fectly sincere, that I have been guilty of a serious dere liction of duty because I have not, as my predecessors have often done before me, consented to place myself in the front of an agitation to counteract the policy of Par liament. The nature of the constitutional doctrines which practically obtain in this section of the commu nity is curiously exemplified by the fact, that it is not the passage of the Bill by an overwhelming majority of the representatives of the people, or the acquiescence of the Council, but the consent of the Governor, which furnishes the pretext for an exhibition of popular vio lence. 10. When I left the House of Parliament after giving the Royal Assent to several Bills to which I have re ferred, I was received with mingled cheers and hootings by a crowd by no means numerous wh ich surrounded the entrance to the building. A small knot of indivi sons of a respectable class in society , pel t e d the carriage duals, consisting, it has 'since been a scertained, of per with missiles which they must have brought with them for the purpose. Within an hour after this occurrence a notice, of which I enclose a copy, issued from of the
