Committee-room, Royal Hotel, June 1, 1835. • Lords Gosford and Farnham had long interviews this morn ing with Lord Glenelg, at the Colonial Office. It is strongly rumoured that Lord Gosford will be appointed to proceed to the Canadas in the room of Lord Canterbury, who it will be recol lected, latterly declined that important mission. His Lordship has latterly hPen in almost daily communication with ministers. —Standard, Wednesday. Such is the demand for tickets for the ensuing Harrow din ner, in consequence of Sir Robert Peel taking the chair, that 10 or 15 guineas have been offered for a single admission, but the stewards have refused persons of the highest rank, the party being strictly confined to those noblemen and gentlemen only silo have been educated at Harrow school. CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATIONS. WEST KENT. On Thursday a numerous meeting of the gentry residing in the western division of Kent took place in the spacious long room of the Green Man Hotel, at Blackheath, for the purpose of forming a Conservative Association for the district of Black heath, including the borough of Greenwich. Sir T. M. Wilson, Bart. took the chair, and proceeded to address the meeting. He said that they had met for the pur pose of establishing a loyal, constitutional, and conservative association. (Cheers.) Their liberties as Britons were inse pnrably connected with the co- e xi s t ence o f Ki ng , L or d s , an d Commons, and the undue preponderance of either of the three would necessarily tend to the destruction of their rights. (Re newed cheers.) The country was indebted for the blessings with which it had been pre-eminently distinguished, to the pub lic acknowledgment and reverence of the Supreme Being • and the existence of a church founded on the pure principles of the reformation had greatly promoted the general diffusion of re ligious feeling throughout the British empire. (Hear, hear.) Although in all human institutions abuses would creep in, and improvements might be made, it was his firm conviction, to use the emphatic wards of Sir Robert Peel, " that it was possible to combine with the maintenance of ancient institutions and respect for established rights the rediess of real , greirances, the correc tion of acknowledged abuses, the free administration of public patronage, and a wise economy in the control of a public ex penditure." (Cries of " Hear, hear.") At a period when po litical parties were sacrificing principle to a love of place—at a period when papists, regardless of their oaths—(Hear, hear) — were combining with disappointed and disaffected men to over throw the church, dismember the United Kingdom, and en danger the existence of King and Lords, it became their especial duty to rally round the throne and uphold their constitution in church and state. They should recollect that union was strength, and the formation of a conservative association would be the means of establishing in that neighbourhood a proper focus for the concentration of patriotic exertion in support of these prin ciples. The chairman concluded by remarking that they would be happy to receive the assistance and co-operation of any in- , dividual, however humble. (Cheers.) Messrs. Warner, Longlands, Leeson, &c., then briefly ad dressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed to the effect that the association should watch the registration of votes for the county and the b oroug h o f Greenwich, and that it should also ascertain how many gentlemen residing therein had votes fur the city of London, in order to correspond and afford assist ance to the conservative association that had been formed there; also to prepare and forward, as occasion might require, petitions and addresses to the Kin': and parliament, and to carefully watch over and promote whatever might tend to the preserva tion of their constitution in church and state. The resolutions were all unanimously passed, and after the meeting had appointed Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, president; Mr. Warner, vice-president; and a secretary and treasurer to the society, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman for his able conduct in the chair. Sir T. Wilson, 'in a short and powerful speech, acknowledged the compliment the meeting had conferred on him. And a num ber of gentlemen enrolled their names as members of the asso ciation, and contributed liberal subscriptions towards forward ing the object it had in view. EAST SURREY. Thursday a numerous meeting of the members of the East Surrey Conservative Society for the hundred of Brixton took place at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. Mr. Nottege was in the chair. Mr. Meymott, sen., in the absence of Mr. Clutton, read the report. The following resolutions were then put and carried :—"That Mr. Nottege be elected vice-president; Mr. Weston, the banker, treasurer; that Mr. Edward Meymott, solicitor, be elected secretary for the East Half Hundred; and Mr. C. B. Luttly for the West Half Hundred of Brixton." A list of subscriptions was read of considerable length, and con taining several liberal donations. After able speeches from the chairman, Mr. Weston, Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Drew, Mr. E. Mey mott, Mr. B. C. Luttly, and the Rev. Abdy, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman for his liberal and useful exertions in the cause. The chairman returned thanks, after which the meeting broke up. The meeting consisted of some of the most respectable and influential gentlemen residing in this portion of the county. WEYMOUTH. On Tuesday evening a meeting was held by public notice at Luce's Hotel; on the Esplanade, to establish a Conservative Association for this town and its vicinity. Soon after seven o'clock nearly two hundred of the principal electors were assem bled, when Colonel Howard was unanimously called to the chair, and Mr. John Hancock appointed vice-chairman. Reso lutions expressing the objects in view—attachment to church and state, &c. &c. were proposed and seconded by Dr. George Taylor, Mr. Flood, John Henning, Esq., Captain Andrews, R.N., S. H. Martin, Esq., Rev. W. Wilkinson, Captain F. Payne, R.N., Mr. W. D.Milledge, Mr. A. Ellis, who, with the following gentlemen, were appointed a committee for watching the interests of the electors, and carrying into effect the mate objects of the society :—James .Bower, Esq., George''Ar den, Esq., C. F. Sleggall, Esq., E. F. Colston, Esq., Captain Hancock, R.N.,- Mr. John Williams, Mr. John Comruins, Mr. Arthur Horsford, R. Bower, Esq., George Welsford, Esq., William Legg, Esq., Mr. Thomas Robinson, Mr. Richard Com mins, Mr. J. J. Rolls, Captain Ryder Minster, R.N., Mr. Hallett, Mr. James Milledge, Mr. Pitman, &c. Several gentlemen, includ ing the chairman, addressed the meeting at great length, which, we are happy to say, comprised a very great majority of the wealth and intelligence of the town. At the last registration several radicals were put on who had not any right to be voters, in consequence of there not be ing any one properly to watch the registers; but that will not be the case now; as the committee chosen are well acquainted with every part of the town. The respectable inhabitants anxiously hope for an election, to show their present representa tives how little they have expressed the sentiments of the elec. tors of Weymouth, by the many . factious votes they have given. The business of the meeting being concluded, the company sat down to supper, and the evening passed with the greatest satis faction to all present. The healths of Mr. Parker and the electors of Devon, Sir Robert Peel, &c. &c. were drunk with great applause. RULES TO BE REMEMBERED IN BLEEDING HORSES, CATTLE, OR DOGS. In all cases requiring a blood-letting, the jugular or greatvein of the neck is the best to bleed from. A lancet is the best in strument, and the best place is about an inch below the bifurca tion of the vein; or four from the angle of the j&w. In all cases of inflammation, bleed from a large orifice, for in these cases one quart drawn quickly will do more good than .three quarts when it flows slowly. In pinning up the orifice, separate the skin as little as possible from the vein, lest the blood extra vasate and cause swelling and inflammation ; and if the neck is to be washed, be careful not to wet the punctured pact, and tie the horse up for an hour afterwards. I place very little dependence on the appearance of blood after bleeding, so far as it is a criterion of inflammation, or the state of the system and the propriety of repeating the operation, since I find that the texture and quantity of serum, or Unify appearance, in A' great measure depends on the manner in , which it is drawn, whether quick or slow, whether into a deep or shallow vessel, and on the length of time it is allowed to stand. Bleeding is necessary in every case of local or internal disease, except where there is a discharge of matter or great debility. It is useful also as a preventive on taking horses up from grass, or when they appear dull and heavy and indifferent about feeding; in these cases, five or six quarts may be taken from an ordinary sized horse; but in all cases of fever and inflammation, bleed till the pulse rise, and let its softness, not quantity drawn, decide when enough; and the animal's strength and urgency of the symptoms, not the blood's appearance, the necessity of repeating it. A horse may be bled in the toe with advantage, for inflammation of the feet and strains of the leg and coffin joint, but all other topical bleeding, as in the mouth, eye, plate or thigh veins, is not only useless, but dangerous. Cattle and dogs require a ligature on the neck in order to start the vein!; the latter may also be bled by cutting the tail a n d cars. Sheep are commonly bled in the eye vein.— Small': Veterinary Tablet. VIEW OF THE OPERA. It is Saturday night, and we are at the opera. The house is crowded with the fair, the rich, and the noble, and to all out ward appearance, the happy. Bright eyes beam from every first tier box, diamonds sparkle on many a lofty brow, and many a snowy arm dazzles the beholder from afar, as it reclines grace fully on the crimson-cushioned parapet. Spotless are the gloves, and gorgeous the waistcoats, of the eleyans that skirt the alley; and, thanks to the brilliant varnish which conceals its homely material, the boot itself " loses half its evil, by losing a ll it s coarseness !" From th e s t age , th e f u ll tide of song rolls with the combined majesty of Rossini and Pasta; the venerable priests of the Euphrates celebrate the glories of the river god, and the assembled court of Babylon, arrayed in Oriental splen- dour, vow eternal fealty to the chosen of the Assyrian queen ! Survey the house—a smile is on every face, and plaudits escape from every lip, as the electric impulse spreads around; and even the well-bred apathy of fashion gives place to a rapturous burst of momentary enthusiasm. It is a bright, a joyous scene! How unlike the gloomy, care-fraught world, which philosophers decry, and at which cynics rail! And yet, could we penetrate this - brilliant and polished surface —could we remove the veil which shrouds the secret thought, and glide, Asmodeus-like, into the inmost recesses of the mansion --could we set at nought the discipline which drills every feature into one uniform aspect of enjoyment—what a mountain of care, what a host of passions, what a chaos of feelings, would be revealed to our gaze! Amongst those gentle beings who look down upon us from their festooned alcoves, all smiles and radiance, how many a fair and palid brow but serves to mask a throbbing brain ! How many a tale mgiht 14 e there read of feverish hope and anxious fear— of clouded prospects, of love unrequited, of affections betrayed! —the discontents of beauty an the wane, the vain repinings of departed youth, the struggles of expiring virtue ! But let us turn to the other sex. Could we dive into the dark and trou bled abyss of their bosoms what fierce, what selfish, what ig noble passions should be not behold! What feelings of malevo lence under the mask of friendship, what envious rancour! And even where the nobler qualities of our nature ore predomi nant, where the soul is not base, nor the heart corrupted—wh a t ennui, what disappointment, what disgust ! In nine out of ten, should we hot read of wasted youth, of misdirected talents, of blasted hopes; blighted ambition! Alas! alas! the stage lights serve but to divide two sets of actors !—Harry Calcerley, by the author of "Cecil Hyde." IRISH COLONIAL CONSPIRATORS. • From a late number of an American journal, the Settler, We faithfully extract the following paragraph; and we beseech to it the attention of all his Majesty's loyal subjects, as well as [hat of the King's prime minister : "At this moment there are traitors in New York, Montreal, Quebec, Dublin, and London—all in correspondence, and concoct ing their plans fur dismembering the British empire; and while the Canada: are made use of as a blind, an internal member of the empire is fixed on to be lopped oft; namely, Ireland. We could name some of those traitors if we pleased; but one of them went to America to escape being hanged at Vinegal -hill." We a year ago, from sources of peculiar information, stated the same fact that we here find in the American journal. Irish emis saries are in every village in our North American posseslions ; and the conspiracy of these traitors is of the most subtle and dan gerous extent. We shall in a short time attain some valuable information respecting the organization of these papist rebels, and the grand sources from which they draw the means of car rying into effect their traitorous machinations. Lora Glenelg has now in his office documents that can be verified as to the proving the facts as stated by the Settler, but we suppose they share the fate this eminently sagacious and active statesman doomed fourteen thousand vital letters to, when Ireland was left to his management. However, more of this anon. At present we tell Lord Melbourne, he must look to this even for the short time he holds office.—Age. DR.

No. 1. Sir,—Now that the first grief at the loss of my child is passed, and that .I am capable of considering calmly the conduct f all implicated in the transaction, I find you deeply involved in the disgraceful. plot that has been fatal to my fireside and happiness. I am, unfortunately, prevented taking that course with you that would be most congenial to my wounded feeling, by the consi deration that your office as magistrate might shelter you; under the argument that, being appointed to protect, you could not in fringe the peace of society. It appears, then, that only'the ad vant?ges of office give you a claim to the title of magistrate, for, had its duties been your care, or ever once occurred to you, I should not now have to mourn an affliction which, if it does not carry me to the grave, must imbitter the remainder of my life. Now, sir, your presence at the elopement of my daughter with your brother-in-law, and the part that others than himself took in the enterprise, is proved by your own observation on the state of his nerves at the time of his departure. You have said that he was the least firm of the party. Where, at that moment, was your sense of duty as a magis trate? And, afterwards, where your authority as a husband, when my friend, whom I had made my daughter's guardian in the event of my death, Sir Robert MParlane, demanded of Mrs. Norton, who abducted my daughter from my house, informa tion as to her flight, and she refused to give it? You and Lord Seymour were present, and all the female part of your family, when this effort to trace and recover my child was thus frustrated, and you two gentlemen tacitly sanctioned this conduct, which you were bound to overrule, and have thus shown yourselves participators in' this most dishonourable con duct. I will not hazard the world's reproach by asking of you that satisfaction which, I am told, you might officially decline, but I take upbn myself to tell you that your behaviour has been dis graceful to you as a magistrate and a gentlem a n, an d y ou h ave so identified yourself with this nefarious proceeding as to make you unworthy of either title.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Grosvenor-square, May 29. C. GR ANT. Hon. G. C. Norton. No. 11. Storey's-Gate, May 29, half-past 5, p.m. Sir—Your letter of this morning was brought to me by Captain Rose at half-past eleven o'clock, when my cab was at the door for me to take Mrs. Norton to make an affidavit before a Master in Chancery, with whom we had an appointment at eleven o'clock. 1 was obliged to go from the Master's house to my office, and from there lam this moment returned ; these engagements will account far my not immediately replying in writing to your letter. Your reasons for characterising my, supposed behaviour dis graceful as a magistrate and a - gentlernan are-Ist. An obser vation as to Mr. Sheridan's nerves at the 'Moment of departure; —2d. My being present when Sir Robert M`Farlane was at' Spring-gardens on the night of the elopement. As to the first, the observation in . question was made to Sir Robert by Mrs. Norton, in my drawing-room, on the Sunday. and I believe I then heard it for the first time. I could know nothing of Mr. S.'s nerves of my own knowledge, nut ha%ing seen him on the day of the elopement. As to the second reason—Having to take Mrs. N. to Lans downe-house, I called for her at Spring-gardens on the night of the elopement; I found Sir Robert MTarlane, Colonel Arm strong, &c. &c., in the drawing-room there, in the middl e o f a conversation respecting a n elopement which I had but just learnt had take;] place on my arrival from the city. "My wife took. little or no part in that conversation, though I have since understood she had previously had a conversation with Sir Robert M‘Farlane below stairs, and the only observa tion made by me was, that as you had recently said to me that all you wished for your daughter was a gentleman and a man of principle, " I trusted you would be consoled and reconciled to the marriage when you became more acquainted with Mr. S." I am given to understand that what you characterise as a plot was contrived and settled by the married couple themselves, and by no other person or persons, in one quarter of an hour. Upon my honour, as a gentleman I was not present at th e elopement, a n d k new not of it until mauy hours after it had taken place. . I have thought it due to your feelings to give this detailed contradiction to your reasons for characterising my conduct as you have done. I am the last person to provoke a duel ; but after this answer to my letter, if you do not do me the justice to retract it, on you the responsibility of any ulterior measures that may result from it must rest. And if so, I have only to re peat what I said to Captain Rose, that 1 conceive that the maintenance of my eharacter as a gentleman would justify me in waiving my office as a police magistrate, and that I would not for a moment suffer it to shield me from any personal re sponsibility. I think it right to mention that I have not shown your letter to any one alluded to, as yet; being unwilling to incur the responsibility of involving others in this affair. Waiting your answer, I am, sir, your obedient servant, Sir Colquhoun Grant, &c. - G. C. NonroN. No. 111. Sir—When Captain Itose undertook my message to Lord Seymour, yesterday morning, he put this question to his friend Mr. Bentinck, " Will Lord Seymour say upon his honour that he was not aware of the elopement before it took place ?" be cause in that case I will recommend Sir Colquhoun Grant to listen to his explanations. Mr. Bentinck could not commit his lordship to the decla ration, and, therefore, matters proceeded, and a meeting► took place. Now, sir, you have undertaken, on your honour as a gentleman, to say that you were not present at the elopement, and knew nothing of it till many hours after it had taken place. I do not see, then, how I can refuse that respect to your word that I should have paid to Lord Seymour's, and, therefore, will not justify the terms contained in any letter to you, but leave the case, with all the facts connected wi4h it, for the judgment of the world. I have the honour to he, sir, your obedient servant, Grosvenor-square, May 30, 183. C. GRANT. lion. G. C. Norton. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE LATE ELOPEMENT. MEETING BETWEEN SIR COLQUHOUN GRANT AND LORD SEYMOUR. _ LETTER FROM. SLR C. GRANT TO LORD SEYMOUR. " My lord,—Such has been the stupor and subsequent agony cf mind I have endured since the sad event that has deprived me of the only remaining prop and comfort of my life, that till now I have not been able lo calm my senses, or command my reason sufficiently to enable me to examine the circumstances connected with this foul transaction. " If I have found it hard, my lord, to bear up against those afflictions which the will of Heaven har visited me with, till but only one of all I had to bless my home was left to me, it is, I find, beyond humanity to endure that this last solace of my life, for whom alone I wished to live, should be torn from me by a train of artifice disgraceful as it is cruel. " My lord, 1 have said thus much, not with any wish or hope to move your sympathy, for that mockery would from you be fresh wrong; but merely that you may know that if I have a heart that deeply feels a grief, it can as acutely feel a wrong. The guilt of this my wrong, my lord, is shared by many; by some placed beyond the reach of that vengeance due from me, .and whom I must leave to the honour and character of society •to punish ; by others, too, whom the laws of honour bring within my grasp; among the latter I have just grounds for fixing you, my lord. ' It might be bard, however so decided by law, in sbme cases, to hold a man responsible for the acts of his wife—such as where he could not, with the most honest feelings, control them; but surely where, by active or tacit concurrence, he witnesses, wickedly or tamely, th e most gr i evous injury done by her, the husband cannot complain that that redress which could not in such case be obtained from the wife should be demanded.at his hands. In this precise predicament is your lordship placed with regard to me. At your house, froayohilice it was known, mark, that my child had eloped, were assembled, with yourself and Lady Seymour, Mr. and Mrs. Norton, Mrs. Blcckwood, and Mrs. Sheridan, in whose presence (added to that of Colonel and Miss Armstrong, just arrived) my friend, .and, in the event of my death, my daughter's guardian, as he . stated himself to be, Sir Robert. M•Farlane, required or your wife intelligence of her flight. This, in your hearing, and in that of all present, Lady Seymour refused; and you, not enforcing Sir R. M'Farlane's right to trace my daughter, will; I think, be accused by all, as well as by myself, of having lent yourself t o th e pl o t, an d f or thi s m ost dishonourable conduct f demand that you render me satisfac tion.

" Mal , 29, 1835.—1 waited on Lord Seymour with Sir C Grant's letter (a copy of which is inclosed) on Friday morning. His lordship said that before he took any steps with regard to that letter he wished to see Sir Colquhoun himself, in order to remove an erroneous impression which appeared to exist in Sir Colquhoun's mind-with regard to the share Lady Seymour bad had in the matter referred to, stating, at the same time, that the explanation which he wished to afford Sir Colquhoun would be without prejudice to the measures which he would subse quently adopt respecting that portion of the letter which had reference to himself. ' t his, I said, would be perfetly irregular, and that I could not advise. Sir Colquhoun to grant such an-in terview • and that unless his lo r d s hip co uld s tate th a t Mi ss Grant did not elope from his house, and that he was not present when Sir Robert M‘Farlane demanded information as to her route after her flight, Sir Colquhoun's opinion could not be al- . tered. Mr. Bentinck called on ms shortly afterwards, and again repeated Lord Seymour's wish that Sir C. Grant should separate Lady Seymour fr om an y s h are in th e tr a n sac ti on , i n which he said she had been in no way concerned, stating, at the same time, that Lord Seymour was perfectly ready to meet Sir Colquhoun immediately, and give him any satisfaction he might require for any share he might suppose him to have had in the affair. I then said that if Lord Seymour would state that he had no knowledge of the transaction previous to the moment of the elopement, I would endeavour to change Sir Colquhoun's determination. This Mr. Bentinck said was out of the question, as Lord Seymour had known of the transaction an hour before it took - place. An immediate meeting was then agreed upon, previous to which Mr. Bentinck again urged that Sir C. Grant should state in writing that he called upon Lord Seymour for' satisfaction for his lordship's share in the business, and not for any participation which Lady Seymour had had in it. I thought this a fair request, and submitted it to Sir Colquhoun, who re fused to accede to it. The parties met in a field near Hamp stead, and after a change of shots, without effect, Sir C. Grant begged me to load again. Mr. Bentinck came up to me at this moment, and asked if I considered that Lord Seymour had af forded Sir Colquhoun the satisfaction he required ? I answered that I conceived he had; upon which Mr. Bentinck stated that Lord Seymour was now ready to explain to Sir Colquhoun various circumstances connected with the transaction which had caused the meeting, and which would probably much alter his opinion with regard to it. The parties then left the ground without any further communication. " GEORGE PITT Ross." " I have read over the above Statement, signed by Captain Rose, and I consider it to be a correct account of what passed on the occasion. " G.. BENTINCK. " White's, May 29." coRREPoN DENCH BETWEEN SIR C. GRANT AND THE HON. G. C, NORTON. Yesterday afternoon, at seven o'clock, Mr. Norton put into my hands a letter (No. 1) which he had received that morning from Sir C. Grant,. through Captain Rose, and at the same time gave me a letter (No. 2) which he had written in answer to it, and which he begged me to convey to Sir C. Grant. I gave the letter to Captain Ruse, and received from him this morning the letter (No. 3) in reply to it. I asked Captain Rose whether I was to consider this letter as a withdrawal of the expressions contained in Sir C. Grant's first letter to Mr. Norton, and upon his assurance that I was so to consider it I deemed that the affair ought to end there. G. BENTINcx. May 30th, 1835. I have perused the statement signed by Mr. Bentinck, and subscribe to it. G. P. ROSF. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE ELECTION. RIOTING AT WOLVERHAMPTON. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.) WOLVERHAMPTON, THURSDAY NIGHT, SIX O'CLOCK.— I stated in my account to.yog last night that th ere was a crow d o f people in f ro n t o f the Swan Inn (the central committee of Sir F. H. Goodricke,) who would not allow any person to go in or come out of the inn without insulting or assaulting them. At an early hour this morning information was received at Lich field that serious riots had taken place at Wolverhampton; that the military had been obliged to disperse the rioters; that in dispersing they (the military) had been necessitated to fire, and that many of the mob had been wounded. Upon this intelli gence reaching Lichfield I proceeded by express to Wolver hampton, and upon my arrival there found that an investiga tion was in progress at the Peacock (where Colonel Anson's committee had been held) in order to make out a case to for ward to the Secretary of State. I forward you the evidence (up to a certain hour,) taken before a Mr. Roaf and others of Col. Anson's committee. You will understand this is only the evi dence of his partisans, and therefore that will account for its being so partial. The following is the deposition of the wit nesses (not upon oath) Mr. Roaf in the chair. Mr. H. Walker.—l can speak as to the state of the town from twelve to four during the whole of the day. I saw nothing be yond the common excitement of au election. The chairman.-1 think I may take this as the general im pression, that there was no disposition to riot up to the close of the poll. Several tendency g to gentlemen men am a o n n s a w s e t r t e he pdineotphie.e affirmative. They saw no Mr. Devereux.—l am not a partisan. I took no part in the election. I had no vote. I can state that the town was per fectly quiet up to the close of the poll. [lt was here suggested that all who were to give evidence should withdraw, and be examined separately. Mr. Griffin.—l had occasion to go to the Swan (Goodricke's hotel) on business. To my surprise I was informed by a gen tleman there that th e r i o t ac t was a b out to b e rea d , and the mi litary about to be called out. I expressed my surprise, and in quired for the necessity of their being called. I was then told that souse stones had been thrown, and some few panes'of glass broken. I then said that was a very insufficient cause for the riot act to be read and the military called out, as I considered the people perfectly peaceable and quiet, excepting the usual rihouting and riotine common on those occasions. I heard the bugle then sound, and the military began to muster. I imme diately went to Colonel Anson's committee through part of the crowd. I met with no molestation on my way. I went to in form them of the state of things, and to request some of them to address the people, informing them of what was about to take place. I then went up the street with Mr. M'Mahon, and ob served that the military were clearing the streets with drawn swords. Mr. Thacker.—After the close of the poll yesterday I had a conversation with Mr. G. Holvoake, the brother of the conser vative candidate, in the crowd, in front of the Swan. There was not the least molestation. His friends were congratulating him on the state of the poll. I did not see the,znilitary at that time, half-past five o'clock. Mr. Joseph Walker.—l went from this committee-room across the Market-place, and stopped in the midst of the crowd to speak to Mr. Robinson. the people were then perfectly quiet. Mr. Sinskiss.—l am a surgeon. I was returning home. It was shortly before seven o'clock. On coming into the Market place I heard th e soun d o f a trumpet. linquired the cause, and the answer was, that they were going to read the riot act. I asked what occasion ? I see no riot. The reply was, the windows of the Swan have been broken, and Mr. Parker has I been insulted. I looked, and saw all the windows of the Swan crowded, and the Rev. Mr. Claro in the balcony reading what I understood to he the riot act. I then saw the soldiers charge the people in the Market-place most violently, and with drawn swords. They rushed on with such violence that two of the horses fell, and their riders were thrown. One of the horses was killed. Saw him lying dead soon after. I saw no act of violence whatever on the part of the people. They ran in all directions; the soldiers galloped after them towards the church.. yard. The gates were small, and the horses could not get through. They then fired on the people in the church-yard. I heard and saw several s h o t s fi re d . They {ode up two and three at a time and fired, and then went back, and others came up in the same way. I saw no stones thrown, and I was iq a situation to see them if there had been. I was then accosted by one of Sir F. H. Goodricke's committee, and asked if I would go and use my influence with the people, and advise them to disperse. There were crowds and groups at different places, but the Mar ket-place was nearly clear by this time.' [1 he evidence of this witness was discontinued, to allow that of Mr. Coleman, who was called away to attend an accouche meat.] Mr. Coleman, eurgeon—Was called in to attend profession ally a boy 16 years of age, named Adam Kay, last night, a short time after eight o'clock. There was a gun-shot wound. The ball had passed through under the tendon Achilles. It was a severe wound, and he may be lamed for life. I was called to a second case—that of a boy 11 years old, named Barton. There was a gun-shot wound in the leg, passing through both bones, and fracturing them, with the rupt ure o f th e anter i or tibial artery, the ball and a piece of the bone passing through the leg, causing a great laceration. The leg is not amputated, but it is still doubtful whether such a proceeding must not be adopted. The third case was that of a young man, named Pinson, about twenty years of age. He had a gun-shot wound in the arm above the biceps muscle. This wound is not severe. The fourth case, that of an apprentice of Mr. Westwood, a steel-yard maker. He bad a gun -shot wound, a ball passing, through the centre of the knee-joint. The joint is so much in jured that it required immediate amputation to save his life. Each of the parties described to me that they received their wounds from the soldiers. I have not attended any sabre wounds; but Mr. Gill, another surgeon, informed use that he had attended two cases—one of a gun-shot wound, the other of a sabre. I saw the two shots fired that wounded the boy in the heel. The people were scampering away in all directions. The boy got over the gate and got as far as the church door, when lie was struck with the ball. I heard two other shots soon after —near an hour afterwards. They were within 150 yards from my own house in Salop -street. I saw no violence. I saw one soldier get a glass of brandy and water in the Market place, from one whom I believe to be a partisan of Goodricke. (The witness objected to name this person.) Ile bed a con stable's staff in his hand. Mr. Simkiss recalled—l stated my,willingness to address the crowd if the partisans of Sir P. Goodricke would retire from the windows of the inn, as I considered their presence was irritating the people. Mr. Warner accompanied me to the committee room to make the request. Upon arriving at the Swan door, under the gateway, liquor was being handed to a mounted dragoon. I went round among the people to address them, and was two hours there, during which I witnessed no acts of violence. 'Mr. Halls, factor—l was in the first floor of a house in Queen ' street at a window, about eight o'clock. There was a cry that the soldiers were coming. I immediately saw the soldiers charging down the streets. 'They were striking the people with ' the Hat sides of their swords, and several thrust at them with the points. I. don't know if any were wounded. I saw a soldier beating a man near the door where I was with his sword. I heard a door of the yard open, and shut again directly. The soldier said, " There's a nest, of d—d scoundrels there . ; we will fire thr, u g h t h e door. " He spoke to several soldiers, • who drew up on the opposite side of the street. He said something to them, and I observed them deliberately sheath their sabres and handle their carbines and pistols (some had carbines and some pistols.) Conceiving from their manner that they were going to fire, I said, " There has been no breach of the peace committed here, fire at your peril." One of the soldiers (the same who beat the man) said, "There's a nest of scoundrels, and we'll unkennel them," or something . to that effect. I told them not to fire, and they put up their fire arms, drew their sword's, and went off. TWO of them came back, and one of them said, " I have a good mind to fire through that door yet." I again warned them of the consequences, and they went off. I omitted to say that I stated to the soldiers, " Surely persons may go in and out of their houses without molestation." Ann Deaken—My husband is a carrier. About ten minutes before ten o'clock my house was locked up. MY husband had been at home since eight o'clock. 4 heard a shot go off, and opened the window, where I saw a soldier on horseback go to the other aide of the street, level his gun, and fire at the street door. The ball perforated the door. I saw no person in the street. If there had been I must have seen them. My brother in•law was in the room when the ball passed through. Evan Evans, brother-in-law of the last witness, said—l and my wife were in the room below when the ball came in. I was sitting in my chair, about a yard from where the ball passed. I had beers indoors from a quarter to nine, and my son, a lad of about fourteen, came in about a quarter past nine. The shot was fired a few minutes to ten. My wife was stooping; had she not, the ball must have passed through her head. I have forwarded you the foregoing particulars of evidence given by Colonel Anson's partisans to Colonel Anson's com mittee, and which has been transmitted by them to the secre tary of state, as great importance will be attached to it. From the Peacock I went to the Swan, and there I ascertained that the mob in front of that inn, at the close of the poll last even ing, and which were hooting, and spitting upon, and pelting all those who went in or came out of it, hadiseen accumulating till there were several thousands; that between seven and eight o'clock the symptoms of rioting became so strong that it*was deemed necessary to disperse them; that the Rev. Mr. Clare, a magistrate, went into the balcony in front of the Swan, and urged and entreated the people to go quietly to their homes; that, unless they did so, Ise should be necessitated to read the riot act; and warned them of its consequences; that, in lieu of attending to his admonitions, they commenced pelting him with stones; that at length it became absolutely necessary to read the riot act, and that subsequently the military were ordered t o disperse the c r ow d ; t h at the soldiery in doing so made use of the flats of their sabres only, but were assailed with stones - and brickbat, and other missiles:- that the populace, after they had been driven from the Market-place, took possessim: of the church-yard, which they barricaded, and from thence com menced another and a most violent attack upon the soldiers; that one of the soldiers had his horse killed by some sharp in steumenti that at last it became imperatively necessary for the soldiers, in self-defence, to fire. Such was the violent conduct of the people, after the first charge of the military, that they collected stones, and formed themselves in groups where the military could not reach them, and pelted them most unmer cifully. They formed a barricade with some carts at the top of Queen-street, from behind which they threw stones of immense dimensions. At a late hour many shots were tired by the popu lace. The rioting, on the part of the people, continued so long that another detachment of troops was sent for, which arrived about half-past twelve o'clock, but by this time the disturbances had nearly subsided. These are the statements as I have heard them. I regret to add that several persons have been wounded. One boy was shot in the cap of the knee, and immediate amputation was deemed necessary. Great excitement prevails throughout the populous districts in the neighbourhood. All remains quiet up to this hour. The following is a placard issued by Colonel Anson's com mittee : " P Inn Thursday, ay 28. " Colonel A nson ' s committee eacock cannot a but lament, M with the other friends of reform, the present tyrannical usurpation of po pular rights in this division of the county, still they clearly see the means by which it may be surmounted. It is, however, es sential that no public disturbances should give the enemy an excuse for misrepresentation or violenc e; and mo s t earnes tly do the comm it tee b eg the friends of the colonel not to allow any provocation, either from soldiers or others, to incite them to riot. " Measures are now in progress for securing a satisfactory in quiry into the painful events of last evening, and if the people will but let th e b us i ness b e where it is, justice will certainly be obtained. "The committee, therefore, intreat their friends to avoid the streets this evening--to keep their children and apprentices at home -and to stand prepared to adopt such constitutional and regular measures as will recover the representation of the (-County ; in other words, make it a representation. of public opinion instead of the representation of a tory club."

PEEL (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Wherever there is property, probity, intellect, or high education, there we find the principles of conservatism to prevail ; there we find due - honour and attachment to the statesman who is in his day the representative of the prin ciple of constitutional mona rc hy. A mongst the symbols of this feeling which have reached the public, we know of none which has afforded to us greater ratification than, the address o f th e I r i s h b ar to Sir Rober Peel, with which we present our readers to-day ; not merely because it speaks justly and nobly of the talents and virtues of this peat man; but because it shows that all the arts and al lurements of power—all the money and patronage—pro., mises and threats of the whip government, have not been able to corrupt, in any considerable degree, this upright and honourable profession. , The Irish bar h as ever fur nished the b es t o f Irish patriots—and if it occasionally spew forth a monster, the offence is redeemed by the purity and intelligence of its regular offspring,. The address itself is admirably drawn up. There is not a word too much—nor a syllable too little; and we can well conceive the gratification which Sir Robert Peel must have experienced in receiving such a testimonial from a body, so distinguished for the qualities and virtues which they justly appreciate in him. Although the chairman of counties—all of whom, with four or five exceptions, concur in the sentiments of the address, have not affixed their signatures to the document, conceiving that their situations being, to a great exte n t judicial, th ey are prec l uded from med dling with politics; yet does it contain close upon two hundred names, com prising all of worth, character, talent, and respectability in the profession. We subjoin the address and the correspondence between the right hon. Thomas Lefroy and Sir Robert Peel : " TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P. " Sir,—We, the undersigned members of the Irish bar, cannot allow you to retire from the important post which you have filled without conveying to you our admiration of the calm tem per—the sound judgment and discretion—and the vast practical experience which you have evinced throughout the arduous task in which you have been engaged. " Confiding fully . as we do in the principles on which you , have declared your intention to conduct the government of the country—convinced as we are of your firm determination to correct all real abuses in , church and state—(preserving at , the game time those sacred institutions which we regard as the sanc tuary of our liberties)—and having already experienced the masterly skill which you have displayed in the improvements of our criminal code, tending to achieve at once the great ob jects of true legal reform, in the removal of that which is evil, and in rendering that which is excellent more simple, practical, and efficacious—we need hardly say how much we regret your being compelled to retire from that situation' which your habits, talents, and experience, so eminently qualify you to fill with honour to yourself and advantage to your country." " Lewin-street, Dublin, May 13th, 1835. " Dear Sir,—ln forwarding the, accompanying address (which was signed several days since, but has been unavoidably de layed,) I feel it no less a duty than a source of sincere gratifica tion to assure you of the anxious desiie which so 14rrge and re spectable a portion of the Irish bar have evinced to convey to you their estimate of those eminent qualities which, from per sonal observation, have so often commanded my own admira tion, and leave me to regret, in common with them and all who have at heart the preservation of our religion and our institu tions, your unavoidable retirement from office. Mr. Saurin would have had the honour of forwarding this address but from an accident which confines him to his bed. " I have the honour to be, dear Sir, yours, faith! . .'lly, "To the Right H on . Si r R o b ert Peel "THOMAS LEPROY. , Bart." "Whitehall Gardens, May 18th, 1835. " Dear Sir,—l h ave h a d the ' honour of receiving this morn ing the address from a very large and respectable portion of th e Irish bar, -.which your lette r o f th e 13th instant led me to expect. "This expression of confidence in my 'intentions as a public man, and of a pp rova l o f t h e course which I pursued during my short tenure of official authority, has given me the utmost satis faction. It more than compensates me fur any labours or exer tions that office demanded from me, and will be the best stimu lus to me to persevere in that line of public conduct, which has been thus sanctioned by men of the highest attainments, and with the deepest' interest in the general welfare. " I request you will accept for yourself my best acknowledg ments for the kind and nattering manner in which you, have communicated to me the address. "I have the honour to be, dear Sir, very faithfully yours, " "To the Right Hon. Th omas L e f roy, M.P ROBERT PEEL. ." THE TIVERTON TRICK-TURN-IN AND TURN-OUT , On the 22d of April, 1834, Mr. Daniel O'Connell brought forward in the imperial parliament his motion respecting the repeal of the legislative union. Mr. Rice met the motion by an amendment, which was supported by the whole of the present ministry then i n th e h ouse . Th e amen d ment was carried by a majority of 485, in a h ouse o f 523 Mem b ers : 3 8 only voted for O'Connell's motion, and of these 38 only one was an English member—that member was Mr. James Kennedy, heretofore the, disqualified member for Tiverton, and who, for his memorable conduct, got the sobriqu e t o f t h e t i p o f the tail. 'Well, a year has rolled over, and great changes have occurred. Mr. Spring Rice, who in 1834 took such proper and constitutional measures to oppose the destru c ti ve p o l it i ca l v i ews of Mr. O'Connell, is in 1835 in close political alliance with the agitator; and Lord Palmerston, who expressed his sentiments then in reprobation of the policy that Mr. Kennedy advocated and voted for, is now reduced to the alternative of accepting a seat from the said James Kennedy, the only man in the whole House of Com mons—the only individual in the great and glorious majority of 324 whig;radicats who turned Peel out of office—who had any bowels of compassion for the all-forlorn foreign secretary. And why was this—why was James: Kennedy the only man that could be found ready to surrender his seat for the sake of saving the political character of a whig cabinet minister?-Wh y, Mr. Kennedy w as th e patron i ze d of O'Connell, the man that regulates the Aestinv of the ministry—the very. Old Man of the Sea to Sindbad-MelbOuine. Numerous were the offers that Cupid received of seats ; boroughs were thrust upon him, counties were guaranteed him, where his return would have been far more honourable than will be that for Tiverton, should such an event occur. But the veto of the Dictator Dan was omnipotent. If any one was to have the benefit of the job, none had equal claims to James Kennedy, the only. English member who had the courage to support the motion for the dismember ment of the empire. O'Connell willed it, and. Melbourne echoed the cry of the slave to the Caliph, "Commander of the Faithful, to hear is to obey." What will Englishmen - think of this ? Is it not sufficient to know that the ejected and rejected whig,s bow the neck to the dictator of Ireland, but that they are absolutely forced to sup plicate his grace to get a wretched old rat of a cabinet minister a place in England, whereby he may face parliament ! We do not blame—on the contrary, we have a sort of bastard admiration of—O'Connell's conduct in this instance. There is a surpassing cunning, combined with audacious arrogance, that has led him to show the extent of his domination over the de graded slaves of the administration. "Nothing (exclaims O'Connell) shall take place—no appointment out of the house, no measure within its walls—in which 1 have not a controlling direction which must be apparent to the wood." And verily, well doth he work out his aim. With respect to this James Kennedy we have but little to say. He is a briefless ba rr i s t er , who was forc e d t o vacate his seat for non-qualification : he however swore previously that he was qualified, for which circumstance he was cut by the members of the bar on his circuits. We care not what he is to get: he may be knighted, and sent to adjudicate upon yellow boys in Madras —or he may be sent to determine the destiny of Whiteboys in- Munster—with the devil's leave. Whether he gets value re ceived in rupees, or ready rhino of our home currency, is a matter we care little about—it is a business between his con science (if he have one,) the cabinet, and O'Conneli.—Age.

On Thursday evening died a private soldier of the 54th Regi ment, of the name of William Hands. The circumstances of the case demanded a coroner's inquest. It appeared in evi dence that the deceased was returning through the St. Louis suburbs with two comrades from work on Wednesday evening between seven and eight o'clock, and that, having stopt be hind his .companions for a minute or two, near the stone yard, he received a heavy blow on the back of his , head from four or five cowardly ruffians. The man walked home, answered to his name, made his own bed and retired to rest. These things happened on Wednesday evening; on Thursday evening the unfortunate man was a corpse. We subjoin the verdict of the jury. "The deceased came to his death by a blow from a blunt instrument, which caused a fracture of the skull and an effusion of blood on the 'brain, which said blow was inflicted by a person or persons unknown to the jurors.': As to the enormous barbarity of the crime and the fiendish motives of the criminal, there can be but one opinion. -'that the murderous blood -hounds are polluted with every vice we may reasonably sup - pose ; and we need not urge on his excel lency the propriety or the efficacy of tempting their treachery with their avarice by the offer of a liberal reward. The common council, too, is morally bound, if not prevented by law, to adopt similar means of bringing to justice the cold blooded professors of a systematic assassination. If the com mon council cannot or will not act, the citizens of Montreal owe it to themselves to investigate the truth and vindicate law and humanity at any expense of time, trouble, or money. The testimony_ of the dying man may assist the investigation of the truth. His assailants were in a cart or caleche, and were certainly Canadians. • • It was on St. George's eve that Willam Hands was felled like an ox ity the goaded dupes of the Vindicator, the Minerve, and Mr. Papineau. It was on St. George's day that William Hands expired, the victim of undying, sleepless revenge. He died, we believe, at the moment when Englishmen were spor tively reminded teat " England expects every -man to do- his duty." What, then, is ,the duty of England's sons ? Is it to pounce like the tiger on unoffending, unsuspecting, and unre sisting victims? Is it to tarnish the manly fame of their fathers by degenerating into cowardly assassins? God forbid. Their duty is to express fearlessly their unanimous opinion of the foul deed and of the fouler motives of the virtual perpetratbrs. It was not Monarque, the butcher, that murdered William Hands. It was the diabolical spirit infused into him by the Vindicator, the Minerre, and Mr. Papineau. How often have these three vile things attempted to convince their miserable dupes that British soldiers are sent to Lower Canada fin- the ex press purpose of murdering peaceable Canadians. It was only last week that the Vindicator , through its Lond on correspdn dent, reit era t e d, f or t h e fiftieth time, this hackneyed falsehood.. .The writer, after estimating the coat of , the' military-establish ment of Canada at £60,000, coolly adds that such a sum is toe► much for the slaughter of three peaceable citizens, being at the rate of "E 20,000 per victim." We quote from memory; but we give the substance and almost the very words. Such mis representations, repeated month after month, in French and in English, in speeches and in editorial articles, cannot produce, and are not intended to produce; any other efNct on ignorant minds, than that of prompting them to the murder of British soldiers, on the strongest principle of human nature—the prin ciple of self-preservation. * •• ' * Lower Canada contains about 400,000 French Canadians, and about 120,000 inhabitants of British origin. The Germans and Dutchmen are not so numerous as to be distinguished from the two other races in my summary classification. Mr.. Papineau's "people" comprehends a vast majority of men of British origin. S uc h, I admit, are the component parts of Mr. Papineau's "people;" but 1 d 6 not admit that every indivi dual, who shouts for Mr. Papineau, is also willing to fight for him. Talking and fighting, as Joseph . Hume well knows, are very different things. .. The accounts just received from Canada communicate the Following important despatch which had been received out from the Colonial-office, in reference to the differences which have ea Long existed in the lower province : " " Downi ng - street, Feb. 11, 1835. My lord,—ln conformity with the pledge given in my des patch of the Bth of January, I can assure your lordship that his majesty's government have not ceased to -direct their anxious attention to the discovery of those means which appeared to. offer the most reasonable prospect of bringing to a happy termi nation the existing diff erences b etween the House of Assembly of Lower Canada and the executive government of the province. This inquiry has been undertaken with a deep sense of the im portance of the object to be attained, and has been prosecuted with the most zealous and earnest endeavours to arrive at a, favourable result ; but I cannot disguise &ea your lordship that throughout the investigation I have found myself surrounded by no common difficulties. • .` Your lordship will recollect that in the year 1828 a commit tee of the House of Commons was appointed for the purpose of inquiring into the state of the civil government of Canada, and after a laborious and protracted examination embodied in their report various suggestions calculated in their opinion for the improvement of the administration.et the affairs of the province.- This report was declared by the House of Assembly of. Lower Canada to be ' an i mper i shable - monument of the justice and profound wisdom of the committee,' and to point out the certain mode of removing all the evils of which the people of Canada had complained. On a _future occasion I may endeavour' to show, and I hope. incontrovertibly, the manner in which the' recommendations of the committee have been carried into full effect. At present I will only observe, that, notwithstanding the general enthusiasm with, which the app ea r ance o f t h e report was hailed by the H ouse of Assembly, a spirit of discontent, from whatever cause arising, has continued -gradually to increase among the members of that .body, until in the last year it has • burst forth with a vehemence altogether unparalleled. This spirit was remarkably ex hibit e d i n t h e 92 resolutions passed by the House of Assembly on- the 23d of February, 1834. These resolutions were referred to a committee of the House of Com mons on the 25th of April, and occupied their attention for a considerable time. On the 3d of July the committee closed their labours with a report, in which they did full justice to the anxiety of., he home government to carts into execution tlits suggeslions of the select committee of 18; and declared that the exertions of the government to that end had been unrerait- • ting, and guid e d i n all cases by a desire to - promote the interests of the province. The committee delivered no opinion upon ther subject matter of any one of the resolutions submitted to their consideration, but lamented that mutual :misconceptions ap peared to urevail, which they hoped might be removed ; and,. finally, expressed their persuasion that the practical measures for the future administration of the affairs of Lower Canada might best be left to the consideration of the government, who were responsible for their adoption and execution. ". Front that period up to the present day-I do not find that any measures have been undertaken in compliance with the recommendation of the committee of the House of Commons. On the 15th of November, the day on which the dissolution of • the late administration took place, your lordship was apprised - by Mr. Spring Rice that he was prepared to transmit very full instructions on the various important points on which it was essential for vonr lordship to be informed on the approaching - • meeting of the assembly of Lower Canada, but, in consequence of the event that had then occurred, he ws . prevented from 'making any further communication. Not being aware of the nature or purport of these contemplated instructions, your lordship will see that I have been thus deprived of the fruits of the matured reflection of my predecessor; and that, on my own accession to office, I find this complicated question very much in the same situation in which it was left by the House of Com mons on the 3d of July—with this difference, however, that the difficulties of the situation have been materially aggravated by the additional delay of six months. " In adverting to this delay your lordship will not understand that it is with the view of imputing blame to any one, but simply for the purpose of expr ess i ng Inv regret th at a cr i s i s - sbould uow have arrived in which a prompt decision is rendered indispensa ble, and that it must be taken at a moment and under circum stances when-there exists a peculiar necessity for the most care ful review of all that has passed, and for the most deliberate . reflection on the consequence of any step that may be adopted. "The painful situation in which your lordship has long been placed, and the personal relation in which you have been made to stand towards the House of Assembly, form no slight addition to the embarrassments which obstruct the successful termination of the . question, at issue. It is due, however, to your lord s hip to state, that from y our fi rst assumption of! the government of Lower Canada, my predecessors in the department ()Vet. which I now preside have signified their general approbation of the conduct you had pursued in the administration of the affairs of that province. With satisfaction I add, that, from an examina tion of your lordship's official correspondence, commencing at the period referred to, I can see no reason to dissent from the • accuracy of these opinions. At the same time it must be obvious that the exasperated feelings so prevalent in the assembly, and the - alienation of that branch of the Canadian legislature from • the executive government, have rendered your lordship's position so extremely difficult as even to forbid the hope that you would be enabled to employ with any good effect the words of concilia tion and peace. " Looking, then, at the manner of dealing with the whole subject, and bearing in mind the circumstances to which I have adverted, his majesty's government are of opinion that the exi gencies of the case demand some more decisive and expeditious •mode of proceeding than is consistent with an ordinary and regular correspondence. Your lordship's sentiments have been more than once expressed to the same effect. The - King, therefore, has been humbly advised to select an individual pos sessing his entire confidence, who has the advantage of being unconnected with past Canadian politics, and has had the op portunity, by recent personal communications with the members of his majesty's government, of ascertaining their views and intentions m ore f u ll y an d unreservedly Chan could be possessed by means of written statements. This individual, in the capa city of his majesty's royal commissioner, will repair to Lower Canada, fully instructed to e xam i ne, and, i f possible, to termi nate, the various points of discussion, in the hope of composing all those differences which have so long agitated the , province, and so deeply afflicted his majesty's loyal subjects. Without attempting to give your lordship even an Outline of the instructions of which •his majesty's extraordinary com missioner will be the bearer, it will be sufficient to inform you that his mission will not be so much for the purpose of promul gating any new principles of government as of carrying into - effect that system of liberality and justice towards the people of Lower Canada which his majesty has long since adopted, and which a committee of the House of Commons recently declared had characterized the policy and conduct of all those by whom . the affairs of this kingdom have been administered during' the last six years. Although the result which ha s hitherto attended these efforts might, perhaps, render our hopes of the future less sanguine, it will n o t di min i s h t h e d es i re or the determination of' the King to satisfy all the just claiens•and expectations of his Canadian subjects. They will find that hismajesty is unwearied in his endeavours to establish an impartial, conciliatory, 11 constitutional gove rnmen t i n C ana d a. For this end it will b the object of his majesty to renew the inquiry in to every alleged grievance, to exam i n e every cause o f complaint, and to apply remedy for every abuse that may still be found to prevail ; for this end there is no sacrifice be would not cheerfully make which should be compatible with the fundamental principles of the constitution itself, and with the continued existence of the pro vince as a possession of the British crown. " I am unwilling to believe that the Canadian people can be insensible to feelings so truly paternal, which, as your lordship well knows, have not been adopted on the spur of the occasion, and for which we may reasonably hope that his majesty will be rewarded by the loyalty and attachment of all clas s es in the im portant provinces now tinder your immedia'e government. " Your lordship will communicate this despatch to the House of Assembly in the usual manner. Although without any direct information on the subject from your lordship. I hear from other sources of intelligence that the legislature will have mat on the 27th of January. Should their sittings have been adjourned, you will take such means as may appear most proper for bring ing the despatch under the knowledge of the members before the period of the reassembling in parliament'. " I will not fail to give your lordship timely notice of the pro bable arrival of his majesty's commissioner, in order that you may be enabled to convoke the assembly with the least possible inconvenience to its members. , " I have the hotiout to be, my lord, your most obedient, &c., ' . Lieutenant-General Lord Aylmer,' " ABEHDE - tN. K.C.8., &c."
