—We hey* been not a little surmised and anooyed at the
mistake made by the Tines, in its leading article of the
17th November, as to the coestrintioo of our Legislative
Assembly. The lending journal stated that the qualification
for eleators is a 101. franchise, and that members are elected
for a period of five years. The fact is, that the Assembly
is elected under manhood suffrage, without any property
qualification, and members are chosen for a period of
three years, and no property qualification is required.—Yer-
