As Mr. Mather, who seemed to have acted with a very proper feeling on the occasion, had appealed to the Tuscan tribunals, before which the matter was still pending, the information which he (Lord Granville) could afford the house was necessa rily imperfect. As far, however, as he himself was con cerned in his capacity as Foreign Minister, he had endeavoured to act with calmness and firmness, and he had no doubt that both the Tuscan and Austrian Govern ments would not refuse ample reparation. For his own part he was not ashamed, but proud to say that the very first day after entering his present office he had made an apology to the United States for an unjustifiable act com mitted by a naval officer. Mr. PEEL moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend and consolidate the laws relating to the carriage of passen gers by sea, which he hoped would provide for their safety, health, and comfort.—After a few remarks from Mr. Hume, Mr. Anstey, and Mr. Goold, leave was given. The bills before the house were then forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. FRIDAY.—THE CAPE.—The Earl of MALMESBURY moved for certain returns connected with the introduc tion of gunpowder and arms into the Cape; and asked Lord Grey what measures, naval and military, had been taken to prevent such importations for the use of the rebels into that colony, and whether these measures were likely to diminish the length of the war.—Lord GREY had no objection to the returns moved for, but recom mended Lord Malmesbury to confine them to the quan tity of arms and powder exported from Great Britain to the Cape, and not to wait till information could be ob tained from the Cape as to the quantity imported into that colony.—Lord MONTEAGLE expressed his abhorrence of those merchants, whether in England or at the Cape. who made the calamities of their„ country the means of deriving enormous profits by the illicit sale of arms and powder.—After some further discussion, the returns as proposed to be amended by Lord Grey were ordered. The County Courts Extension Bill was read a second time, on the motion of Lord BROUGHAM, after a discus sion between the legal lords as to the desirability of re pealing the clause in the existing act which prohibits the appearance of a barrister in the County Courts, unless when instructed by an attorney. oeveral other bills were forwarded a stage, and their rdships adjourned. - HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, FEB. 10.—TENANT-RIGHT IN IRELAND. —Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved for leave to bring in a bill for securing the Ulster custom of tenant-right, or compen sation to improving tenants, and to limit the power of eviction. In proposing a measure of this kind, he was bound to regard, not merely the rights of tenants, but the rights of landlords, which were in a very unsatisfactory state in Ireland, owing to their not being placed in a just position. Various attempts had been made to remedy the evils growing out of the existing relations between landlord and tenant in that country—evils which impaired the people's respect for the law, and consequently ren dered property insecure. He explained briefly the provi sions of the bill, the leading features of which were iden tical with those of a measure which had been already submitted to the house, and he professed his willingness to adopt any amendments which would not interfere with its main principle.—Sir G. GREY said, as the house had the table, it was not the intention of the Government to offer any obstruction to that course on the present occa sion.—A discussion ensued, which, however, possessed few points of general interest, in which Mr. Grattan, Mr. Hume, Mr. Roche, Sir J. Young, Mr. Moore, Mr. Sad lair. Mr. Osborne, and other members took part.—Lord J. RUSSELL said Government had introduced bills upon this subject, and one had been referred to a committee, where it underwent much consideration ; but he had found that, if it passed into a law, it would excite the greatest agitation and discontent, and perhaps produce fresh outrages. The clauses of that bill had been framed so as to be consistent with the rights of property ; but he found the object of others was to introduce into the south of Ireland, and make compulsory by law, a custom which would take away a portion of the property of the proprie tors of land, and transfer it to others, giving to idle and improvident men advantages to which in justice they had no claim. He had come to the conclusion, therefore, that in the existing temper of Ireland upon this question, and considering the extravagance of the propositions put for ward, there would be no benefit in passing the mea sure.—Mr. Keogh, Mr. John Bright, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Aglionby, and Mr. Lennard followed, and leave was then given to bring in the bill. GRAND JURIES AND RAILWAYS. Mr. M'Cum.,...GH moved for leave to bring in a bill to enable grand juries in Ireland to make presentments in aid of railways, authorising the levying of a rate which may be assigned to persons who should raise the neces sary sums to complete a line of railway. The measure, he said, whilst it protected the public interests, would give a stimulus to a branch of industry connected with the prosperity of the country.—Mr. LABOUCHERE, on the part of the Government, offered no objection to the mo tion, which, after some discussion, was agreed to.

VIENNA, FEB. 9.—Count Mensdorff has received orders, as federal commissioner, to conduct the Austrian troops from Holstein. It is said that they are to begin march ing off in the course of this month. The troops are to be garrisoned partly in Bohemia and partly in Styria. Count Mensdorff himself will, however, occupy the post of Austrian ambassador at St. Petersburgh. The treaty between Austria and the States of the Church for an indemnity of the expenses for the occupa tion of several legations by imperial troops, has just been concluded. By this convention, Rome has bound herself to pay Austria an annual sum of 1,500,000 livres. The last court ball of the season took place on the 7th. All the arrangements were on the most splendid scale ; above 1,200 invitations were issued. Among the guests were the Duke of Saxe Coburg and the Archduke Albrecht. —Bamburgh Borsenhalle, Feb. 10. I TANN'S PATENT FIREPROOF SAFES J. G. HARRISON and Co. beg to call the attention of the In advertisement which \fr. Miler has published for in the Liverpool papers, setting forth that the Court - ind granted an injunction prohibiting the sale of 2; to " Tann's Patent." The perseverance public le - accerd widl which Mr. Nlilner still proclaims an assertion So manifestly untrue prevents further forbearance on the part of J. G. H. and Co., and compels them to repeat that his attempt to invalidate " Tann's Patent" has completely unsuccessful. In proof of this, J. G. H. and Co. would quote the ' , e; extracts from the judgment of his honour, Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, given so recently as the 15th instant, in the cause of Milner v. Harrison. His honour says, " I have very carefully perused the affidavits on this part of the case, and I am fully satisfied that no order for commitment can be founded upon it. Any comments upon these affidavits would involve obser vations calculated to affect the characters of the parties, and I therefore abstain from commenting on them." His honour lalso stated, referring. to a safe made accordinz " This safe is proved to have been manufact. Tann's Patent,' and the question, therefore, is, whether the manufacture under 'Tann's Patent' is an infringement of Mil ner's patent. This question has not been tried in the action at law, for it is in proof before me that the safes which formed the subject of that action were not manufactured according to Taiin's Patent, and, therefore, if I am to make an order for commiqing this defendant I must do so on my own opinion, unaided by anything which has passed at law. lam not pre pared to go that length ; it would be to affirm that Milner's patent applies in all cases where the_,Rniterials interposed between the boxes evolve steam on ing affected by heat which is certainly not a necessar construction of Milner's patent, nor, as I think, a nece ry corollary from what has already passed at law. The c e cannot. I think, he put more favourably for the plaintiff an to suppose that the action, in this case, which was tiro t against the defendant had been brought against Tann. d that the action having succeeded, this bill had been fi to restrain Tann from manufacturing according to his p ent ; and in that position of the case I think the court weuld not have granted an injunction until after a further trial law, even independently of the plaintiff's conduct in h ing permitted Tann so long to continue manu facturing u der his patent, and certainly not after such a long acquiescence by the plaintiff ; and, yet, what the plaintiff asks by this motion is in effect to stop Tann's trade, by committing Tann's agent." S. G. Harrison and Co. have only to add in conclusion, that until Mr. Milner proves that Tann's patent is an infringement of his patent, he is hound, in common honesty, not to publish statements which convey most inaccurate im pressions. Messrs. Tann have used their patent with success for upwards of six years, without a word of complaint from Mr. Milner or any other party ; and, up to the present moment, all the nroceedings taken by Mr. Milner have failed to invalidate " Tann's Patent." 11, Lord-street, Liverpool, Jan. 29, 1852 THE PRIZE MEDAL.

RUSSELL said it was true that certain ministers of the Scottish Free Church, resident in the Austrian territories, had been expelled, although uncon nected with any political agitation, their sole endeavours having been directed to the spread of Christianity among the Jewish population. Lord Granville had addressed a representation to the Austrian government through the British minister at Vienna, but he could not say whether the proceeding was " in contravention of the municipal laws of the Austrian empire." COPYRIGHT Mr. LABOUCHERE obtained ieave to bring in a bill to carry into effect certain provisions in the copyright treaty with France. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH Lord SEYMOUR. obtained leave to bring in a bill to con firm certain provisional orders of the General Board of Health. SCOTTISH REPRESENTATION, A discussion ensued upon a motion made by the LORD ADVOCATE, for leave to bring in a bill to extend the right of voting for members of Parliament, and to amend the laws relating to the representation of the people in Scot land. He prefaced the motion by a tribute to the memory of Lord Jeffery, who had introduced the Scottish Reform Bill, who had spread the name of Scotland throughout every part of the world where the English language was understood, and whose name was venerated by every true son of Scotland. He then described the state of the re presentation in that part of the United Kingdom antece dent to the Reform Bill, which, he observed, had been eminently successful, the franchise having been honestly and independently exercised. He appealed to the absence of excitement or agitation upon the subject of parliamen tary reform in that country as itself a gratifying evidence of the benefit conferred by that great measure. The learned lord explained the general purport of the bill, which corresponded with that for England, reducing the county franchise from £5O to £2O, and the borough fran chise from £lO to £5. The bill contained provisions for securing the reality of the qualifications : these provisions, which are of a technical character, were minutely ex pounded by the Lord Advocate. In order to correct the diversity of decisions upon election questions under the existing system, the bill gave a right of appeal, on points of law only, to the Court of Exchequer in Scotland. i Ft n Sir W. SOMERVILLE obtained leave to bring in a simi lar bill for Ireland, the object of which was to reduce the borough qualification from £8 to £5, and where the num ber of registered electors in a borough did not amount to 400, to associate the borough with one or more towns in the same or a neighbouring county. At eight o'clock, the house adjourned until Monday. FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. THE WATERLOO MONUMENT.—The Paris correspon dent of the Daily News says—" The Duke of Bassano, the new French envoy to the court of Belgium, arrived at Brussels on Thursday last. I am able to assure you, on good authority, that one of the demands which M. de Bassano is charged to make from the Belgian government is the removal of the monumental lion from the field of Waterloo, and the demolition of the pyramidal mound of triumph which it crowns. You are aware that soon after the revolution of July the destruction of the same trophy was talked of as a point insisted on by the government of Louis Philippe ; and when the French expedition returned from the seige of Antwerp, in passing over the plains of Waterloo, it was expected that they would have taken the law into their own hands, and hurled the offensive symbol of victorious force from his proud eminence. But they were dissuaded from this violent project by an officer, who suggested that it would be much easier to stamp the trophy with ridicule than to overturn it. Therefore, he proposed that they should knock out the lion's teeth and pare his claws. This practical sarcasm was unanimously approved, and the expressive mutilation forthwith carried' into effect. The application now made by Louis Napoleon for the demolition of the trophy makes one recal his laconic declaration before the court of peers, when tried for the seditious attempt at Boulogne. He then said, I repre sent as principle the sovereignty of the people, as sy stem the empire, and as action the retrieval of Waterloo. ' The fist two points have been carried, and it is certain that no means will be neglected to achieve the last." NOTIFICATION TO THE PRESIDENT.—III letters from Brussels of the 12th instant, it is said that a report exists in well-informed circles that the British Government has sent a notification to the French Government, that the moment Louis Napoleon sets foot on the soil of Belgium England will blockade all the French harbours. The intelligence is not improbable, as a seizure of Belgium by the French would be a death-blow to the trade of Eng land. llowever it may be, the report has obtained general credit, and has tended in a great degree to allay existing apprehensions. _ _ _ CONCILIATION.—It has been observed that for some days east moderate councils seem to preponderate at the Elysee. A great number of the political prisoners have been set at liberty. MM. Dufraisse and Greppo, who were to have been sent to Cayenne, are merely to be ba nished from France for life. It is even said that there is some idea of granting permission to M. de Remusat, M Jules de Lasteyrie, and some of the other exiles, to...__ to France. This change is said to be the consequence of the bad effect produced on the departments by the strin gent measures in general, but more especially by the con fiscation of the Orleans property. The accounts received from the prefects, as to the feeling among the people, are . . said to bo i l) y no means eneourazing. LORD NORMANBY.—Lord Normanby has arrived i ell visit ITALY. MILAN, FEB. 4.—We are happy to be able to commu nicate that Field-Marshal Count Radetsky has granted permission to the resident Protestants to have the free exercise of their religious services for the present, and un til the determination of the Minister for Religious Affairs shall have been made known on this subject. The noble veteran has received the heartfelt thanks of numerous Protestant families.

This attempt, recounted in our last, took place at mid day, on the 2nd inst., when her Majesty was retiring from the Royal Chapel in the Palace, where she had been at tending a preparatory mass, previous to setting out for the Church of Atocha, situated at the other extremity of Madrid, where she was to make her more public acknow ledgments. Great preparations had been made by the inhabitants of Madrid to afford their Queen an enthu siastic reception along the whole line of procession. Crowds thronged the street, waiting in expectation her momentary appearance, when they learnt that the hand of the assassin had succeeded sufficiently for present dis appointment, and, in the first moments of alarm, the troops that had lined the streets on the way to the church were withdrawn, and fell back on the Palace, and some pieces of artillery were planted at the Puerto del Sol—the central point of Madrid. The Queen, holding the Princess Royal in her arms, and accompanied by the King and all the royal family, was returning through a long gallery at a quarter to one, when an aged man, dressed as an eccle siastic, named Martin Merino, advanced from the crowd ana neat nis knee before her. Her Majesty, believing he wished to present a memorial or petition, said to those near her—" Whatever petition this poor cura brings shall be granted for the sake of the day." She held out her hand to take it, while she held her infant with the other ; but, instead of a paper, he suddenly drew forth a knife from the folds of his robe, and made a stab at her imme diately above the hip. From the position of her arm, the deed was fortunately but half done ; the arm was wounded and the knife entered under the rib about an inch. The assassin attempted to repeat the blow, but was prevented, and one of the attendants, the Count de Pino Hermoso, was wounded in the hand. The weapon struck her on the front part of the right side, penetrating through several folds of her mantle of velvet and gold, and cutting through the stays, the whalebone of which diminished the effect of the blow, which it is now hoped has not injured any vital organ ; the fear was that the liver had been wounded. The assassin, at the moment of striking, exclaimed—" Toma, ya tienes bastante"—(take it; you have now got enough !) The Queen's first thought was for her child. " Mi nina," she exclaimed, " quo cuiden Isabel"—(my child ; let them take care of Isabel !) There was a moment of con fusion. The King Consort drew his sword, one of the royal halberdiers struck down the assassin, who let fall the dagger, and was secured by the Duke of Tamames, and other members of the royal suite. The Marchioness of Povar fainted at the moment the Queen cried out ; but an officer of the halberdiers took the child, and raised it up high for the Queen to see it. The Queen was able to walk to her own chamber, where she was immediately at tended to, and at first swooned away, and remained insen sible for nearly twenty minutes. Her first words, when she recovered, were to call for her child. The infant Princess was brought to her bedside by one of the ladies in waiting, the Marchioness de Povar, and she clasped the baby in her arms and wept. She then expressed her hope that no harm should be done to the assassin. " Que no le matan ; que no le matan per mi causa"—(don't kill him ; don't kill him on my account." It is stated that the point of the knife, which is one of Albacete fabric, was turned by the whalebone of her Majesty's stays, as well as by her arm. The blade of the knife was very pointed, and the edges sharp, set in a common white horn handle and an iron sheath. It is said that after his arrest Merino first attempted to deny that he was the criminal ; but, when searched, and the sheath found under his robe, he said, with great tranquillity—" Esta bueno ; soy yo'— (it is well ; lam the man.) Of course, all festivity was at an end, levees and illuminations were necessarily post poned, the theatres closed, and the Ministers, who had all been in attendance on the Queen. met in Council at the Foreign-office, which is also in the Palace; the whole of the diplomatic corps, the members of the royal family and of the nobility in Madrid hastened to pay their re spects at the Palace. A succession of bulletins was subsequently issued, announcing that the Queen was not dangerously wounded, and notifying her gradual recovery. Nevertheless, the ministers themselves appear to have treated the affair as one of the utmost gravity, as it was suspected that the would-be murderer had used a poisoned dagger. This, however, has now been ascertained not to h'uve been the case. A long consultation ensued as to what course should be pursued with the assassin, and, it would appear, ulti mately ordered his immediate trial, which speedily ter minated in an order for his strangulation. This was not long in being carried into execution. The following par ticulars relative to Merino are related by the correspondent of the Morning Chronicle :—" Martin Merino, who com testable crime, is a native of Arnedo, pro mo, 63 years of age, an ex-friar of the teiscan 'Drier, but secularised in 1821 on his own ication. He was removed in a coach to the Saladero )n, and the cavalry escort which accompanied him some difficulty in preventing the crowd round the palace from doing summary justice on him. He was per fectly cool, and evinced not the least compunction for his act ; his only inquiry was, Is the Queen dead ?' and when told she was not, he expressed his surprise, and said I enough.

Merino also declared, in the presence of the governor of the prison and of several persons, that he had no accomplices. The'Queen has made a present to Our Lady of Atocha of the mantle she wore on the day she was stabbed, and which was pierced by the knife of the assassin.

The Pays says that the Duke de Rohan has demanded a fresh inquiry into AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. The United States mail steam-ship Washington, Capt. G. W. Floyd, arrived off Cowes, Isle of Wight, on Satur day morning, and, having landed the English and French mails and passengers, proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Washington left New York on the 31st ult. She brought 22 passengers, 13 of whom landed at Southampton. Her freight list comprises specie value 100,000 dols. for England, 32,562 dols. for Havre, and 5,000 dols. for Bremen ; also 500 bales of tobacco, and sundry mer chandize for Bremen. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP AMERICA. By the Royal Mail steam-ship America, Captain Shan non, which reached the Mersey on Sunday afternoon, we received New York advices of the 3d instant. The America sailed from Boston on the 4th, reached Halifax on the 6th, at 7 a.m., at which place , he was de tained 8 hours by fog, after getting the usual Canadian mails on board. She arrived off Cape Clear at 3 p.m. on the 14th, passed Holyhead at 9 35 on the 15th. and ar rived in the Mersey at 4 35 p.m., after an hour's deten tion at the bar for want of water. The America brings 43 passengers, a heavy mail in charge of Lieut. Raymond, R.N., Admiralty agent, and specie on freight amounting to 4'150,000. The American steamer Humboldt, from Havre to New York, vid Southampton, put into Halifax on the Ist, with damaged rudder and short of coal, after a tempestuous passage of 16 days. By this arrival there is a variety of interesting intelligence. From Washington we learn that official confirmation had been received of the reported discovery of an extensive bed of silver ore, and that Captain Jonas P. Levy had been arrested for holding unlawful correspondence with the Mexican government, for the purpose of frustrating and rendering null the Tehuantepec treaty. Reports state that the senate committee intend to recommend an additional grant to the Collins fine of steamers. The health of the Hon. Henry Clay was improving, and it was expected that he would soon be able to deliver to the senate of the United States his iueas and opinions on the subject of intervention. The business done in congress was of little moment. A petition had been presented praying for a repeal of that part of the tariff of 1846 im posing a duty of 15 per cent. on raw silk, and showing the injurious effect of the tariff in its discrimination be tween manufactured and raw materials. The House of Representatives had passed a resolution appropriating 6,000 dollars for relieving and bringing home the remnant of the Lopez expedition. It had also deter mined to ask for information concerning all claims allowed and paid for during President Polk's administration. Kossuth was at Cleveland, in Ohio, on the 2nd. He was about to start for Cincinnatti. Count Pulzky had published a reply to the charges of Count Batthyany. An amusing correspondence appears in the papers between M. Kossuth's secretary and a person named Tochman, owing to the alleged cool reception of the latter's wife (formerly Mad'ile Jaqullo) by M. Kossuth and his family. The Massachusetts abolitionists, in convention at Boston. had resolved that Kossuth was a traitor to humanity, and false to his fame, for having slighted their principles. Bishop O'Connor, of the Roman Catholic Church at Pittsburg, had addressed a letter to Kossuth, in which he stigmatises the policy he adopts, and the objects of his mission to America. The City Council of Louisville had unanimously rejected a resolution inviting him to that place, ,nd, from what we can learn, nearly the same feel ing of opposition to him is manifested throughout the southern country. Mrs. Forrest had made her debut at one of the New York theatres. It was a complete triumph in every respect. From the notices and critiques of the New York papers we learn that great excitement prevailed, and dur ing the performance cheers and counter-cheers were given for the whole of the actors in the late divorce proceedings. When Mrs. Forrest made her appearance, she was greeted with the most tremendous and overwhelming applause. She looked remarkably well, except that she painted a little too highly with rouge. She was dressed richly, and with great taste. She did not appear at all embarrassed nor agitated, and, for a debutante, her coolness, collected ness, and nonchalance, especially so soon after the recent trial, was most marvellous. Lola Montes was at Phila delphia, where she had been performing for the benefit of a charity. She had been presented with a medallion like ness of Washington. Mr. G. V. Brooke was playing at Washington to crowded houses. Catherine Hayes was starring it in the southern cities, to crowded houses. By the arrival of the steamers Prometheus and Chero kee at New York on the 30th ultimo, we have advices from San Francisco to the Ist ultimo. The former brought *863,000 dollars aad the latter 1,090,000 dollars gold dust. There is not much intelligence by these ships. Heavy rains had been experienced, in many cases caus ing the rivers to overflow and sweep away the dams and flumes. Several stores had been prostrated, owing to the banks on which they were built giving way. Much con fusion existed relative to the management of the domestic affairs of the country. . . The British steamer Unicorn had been seized at San Francisco for a breach of the revenue laws. The San Francisco Herald of the Ist ultimo contains the following account of a mock trial held on the betrayer of Mr. Smith O'Brien. Mr. T. B. M'Manus appears to have acted as chief : "We had no sooner got over the shin-plaster excite ment than we were thrown into another, namely, the ab duction of Captain Ems from his vessel, the barque Callao, on Wednesday night, the 17th of December, by a number of men representing themselves to be members of the Vigilance Committee, and headed, it is said, by Mr. Ter rence Bellew M'Manus. You are aware that, some time since, an effort was made by Smith O'Brien's friends to rescue him from captivity in Van Diemen's Land, which, it was said at the time, owing to his own impetuous.. ness, was frustrated. Captain Ellis, mentioned above, then in the colonies, commanded the vessel which was to bring O'Brien to San Francisco ; but, as is charged by M'Manus and his friends, betrayed him. For this reason, and with a desire to punish him for his alleged base treachery, a party of nine men, with M'Manus to lead them, in the stilness of th e n i g ht, wen t on board the Callao and took Captain E. them. He was taken to a place called Mission Creek, about two miles and a half from the city, where he was tried by a portion of the party for betraying Smith O'Brien. The self constituted court, jury, witnesses, and all, entirely ac quitted Captain E. of the charge preferred against him. As soon as a knowledge of the affair came to the ears of the Vigilance Committee, they summoned the parties, and on the 18th held an examination, which resulted in the discharge of M'Manus and his friends.. On the even ing of the examination, Captain Ellis, in company with a Mr. Russell, was on his way to the Callao, when they were attacked by a party of Irishmen, and severely in jured, Captain E.'s head being cut open by a junk bottle being thrown at him." The American and British vessels had met at San Juan on the 16th December, where the outrage on the steamer Promotheus had been committed. The captain of H.M.S. Arrogant assured Commodore Parker that the British Government entirely disavowed the acts of the Consul and the captain of the brig Express in the exercise of any authority whatever in connexion with the Musquito Government, or interfering in any way with any foreign commerce with San Juan. The most friendly feelings existed between the officers of the ships of both countries. Salutes were exchanged on the 16th, on the commanders visiting each others ships. Commodore Parker was highly complimented by Captain Robinson, of the Arrogant, hoisting the American ensign at his main during the salute. it was returned by the Albany with the English ensign at the main, a compliment rarely, if ever, shown but to crowned heads or presidents .uater news from the Sandwich Islands states that the reports of an invading expedition from the western shores of America had altogether been dissipated. A telegraphic despatch from Boston, dated the 2d inst.. says, " A letter from Captain Cutler, master of the barque Dolphin, of Warren, Rhode Island, gives an account of the bombardment of Joanus, one of the Comoro Isles, on the coast of Africa, on the 7th of August last, by the United States sloop-of-war, Commander Pearsall, for the unjust imprisonment of Captain Moores, of the barque Maria, of New Bedford." The Nova Scotia Legislature assembled for the dispatch of business on the 29th ult. His Excellency Sir John Harvey, the governor of the province, addressed both branches in a short speech, in the course of which he directed attention to the projected railway between Hali fax and Quebec, urged the adoption of measures for the extension of education, and the preservation of the fisheries connected with British North America.
