Legislature of British Columbia.

Oa the 21st of January the first session of the
first Legislative Council of British Columbia, as-
sembled by authority of her Majesty's Order in
Council of the 11th of June, 1863, was opened with
a speech by the Governor, Sir James Douglas. }lts
Excellency congratulated the colony on this first
step towards a perfect form of representative
govsnammt. In the course of his speech he recom-
mended to the favourable attention of the Council
proposals, on the part of the Atlantic and Pacific
Transit and Telegraph Companies, for establishing
telegraphic and postal communication between
British Columbia and the head of Lake Superior,
Vancouver Island and British Columbia joining in
a 4 per cent. guarantee of profit, but their united
annual liability in no case to exceed £12,500. The
public revenue for 1863 amounted to £llO,OOO, and
£65,805 was raised on loan ; the expenditure was
£192,860, and there is also a debt of £10,700 due
to the Imperial Government. The• budget for
1864 shews a surplus of £12,000 at the end of that
year, after paying off the deficiency of 1863 and
the debt of £10,700; but £12,000 will not be
sufficient to meet the extraordinary expens,s re-
quired for objects of public utility, the considera-
tion of which will occupy the attention of the
Council. The speech contained the following para-
graph relating to the aboriginal population :—" The
native Indian tribes are quiet and well disposed;
the plan of forming reserves of land, embracing
the village sites, cultivated fields, and favourite
p aces of resort of the several tribes, and thus
securing them against the encroachments of settlers,
and for ever removing the fertile cause of agrarian
disturbance, has been productive of the happiest
effects on the minds of the natives. The areas thus
partially defined and set apart in no case exceed the
proportion of ten acres for each family concerned,
and are to be held es the joint and common pro-
perty of the several tribes, being intended for their
exclusive use and benefit, and especially as a pro-
vision for the aged, the helpless, and the infirm.
The Indians themselves have no power to sell or
alienate these lands, as the title will continue in
the Crown, and be hereafter conveyed to trustees,
and by that means secured to the several tribes as a
perpetual possession. That measure is not, how-
ever, intended to interfere with the private rights
of individuals of the native tribeF, or to incapaci-
tate them as such from holding land. On the con-
trary, they have precisely the same rights of ac-
quiring and possessing land, in their individual
capacity, either by purchase or by occupation under
the Pre-emption Law, as other classes of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, provided they in all respects corn..
p,y with the legal conditions of tenure by which
Land is held in this colony." It is stated that re-
porters wil, not be admitted during the debates in
the Legislative Council.

THE OXFORD AND CANTERBURY HALLS.

The Oxford and Canterbury are not, like the gentlemen
of the Oxford and Cambridge, in competition, and we can
at Easter time also put them under one head, both doing
their best, although not in rivalry, to gain the suffrages of
the public. We have very recently had occasion to speak
most favourably of the way in which the grand selection
from "Faust" has been presented at the former establish-
ment, and if we may judge from the applause bestowed
upon the performance last night, the audience fully ratified
the good opinion to which we lately gave expression. The

Miss Russell, who has had many roles to play during the
period she has been the distinguished prima donna of both.
the Oxford and Canterbury, has seldom been better suited
with music, or had more scope afforded for the display of
her undoubted musical talents. The choruses reel off
without hitch, and when the full vocal and instrumental
strength of the company is called into requisition the effect
upon the ear is equal to that produced by some of the finest
representations of the opera itself we have yet had in this
country. Still, speaking of the Oxford, here it is that
Unsworth revels in those irresistible sallies of mock•oratory
that have quite removed his name from the category of ths
mere Nigger Entertainer. In his way, Unsworth is a
teacher, who contrives, under the rough exterior of
a stump orator, invested with all due absurdities
of costume, and descending to every extravagance of
gesture, to preach an amount of home-spun philosophy,
and scatter an amount of good advice, seasoned with banter
and even denunciation against shams of every kind, that
may often be looked for in vain from speakers who take
ethics under their especial care, and are more free in the
distribution of the pains and penalties which attach to
error. Here, too, Eugene, by the beauty of his soprano
voice, and the splendid apeing of the female reanner,limives
half his audience in doubt as to his sex. Maclagan (whose
“Bittar Bee-bar" song ought still further to spread the
fame of Bass throughout the world), W. Randall, Jester,
and little Nelly Power bring up the rear of an amount of
comic talent seldom equalled, even under Mr. Morton's
management. Of the Canterbury Hall we have also recently
had to speak in terms of
especial praise in a notice of the
brilliant Ghost illusion, called "Prince Blossom ; or, the
Fairies of the Magic Fountain and the Forest of Shadows."
Its present representation more than confirms the jnag:rraent
we then passed, namely, that it is the most extraordi•aary
and powerful representation to which the invention first
produced at the Polytechnic has given rise. It cor tainly
eclipses everything that has preceded it in the ' way of
ece,i„flevt, whilst the beautiful illusion of "Fay le pass-

APPREHENSION OF A RETURNED CoNTicT.--
On Saturday forenoon Alexander Hunter, a man
about 35 years of age, belonging to Langholm, was appre-
hended in Linlithgow on a charge of forgery. It appears
that on Sept. 25, 1860, Hunter was sentenced at Jedburgh
to four years' penal servitude for forgery and uttering a
forged letter, and was liberated from Dartmoor Prison on
license on Dec. 24 last, having undergone three years and
three months of his sentence. The balance of a gratuity is
given to a released convict at the expiration of three
months, on proof by certificate from a magistrate or other
competent person that he is earning his livelihood by honest
means; and to obtain the balance due to him on that con-
dition Hunter appears to have fabricated a certificate to that
Mr. and to have forged and adhibited to it the name of
Mr. Colquhon, chief constable, Linlithgow. He despatched
the certificate, along with his claim for the balance of the
gratuity, to the Governor of Dartmoor Prison; but that
official, being suspic;oum of the genuineness of the docu-
ment, communicated with Mr. Colquhoun, who made ar-
rangements for securing Hunter should he call at the post-
office. On Saturday forenoon Hunter called at the post-
office, asking for a letter, and was accordingly taken into
custody. He had previously been an inmate of the Linlith-
gow poorhouse for some weeks.--,Eclitthurgli Courant.

audiences at this theatre that the management has
not found it necessary to produce any important
novelties for the Easter holidays. But, by way
simply of complying with custom, a new farce, by
Mr. J. M. Morton, was last night played fox the first
time, " Drawing Rooms, Second Floors, and Attics"
is the title, and it treats of the adventures chiefly of
Mr. Triptolemus Brown, a chymist's assistant, who
is brought up from Cambridge by an uncle, Mr.
Cockletop, to 'be married offhand—after the manner
of uncles and nephews in farces—ti Miss Bunny,
the daughter of an old friend. Pursued by an in-
furiated rival, he makes his way up a chimney to an
attic, where he meets the real lady of his affections,
Phoebe Fur below, a laundress. Thence he is forced
to take another flight down the chimney, which
lands him in the second floor, inhabited by Miss
Hardaport, a fascinating milliner, with 38 male
cousins, and finally, precipitated through the win-
dow of the second floor to a balcony below, te makes
his appearance battered, *and tattered, and grimy—
unrecognisable even by his uncle—in the greatest
confusion among the inmates and amusement to the
audience. The piece is written in Mr. Morton's
usual sparkling style, and the part of the luckless
lover—who is at last made happy—is exactly suited
for the versatile and energetic Mr. David Fisher.
Nothing could be more unreserved than the verdict
of approval which rewarded both author and actor.

DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK.

CASTLETOWN, ISLE OF MAN, March 27.
Last night at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock (reports Mr.
H. C. Gill) a messenger came to me from Port St.
Mary, stating that a schooner had been struck by a
squall off Port Iron, and was then lying on her
beam-ends disabled, and requesting the lifeboat of
the National Institution might be sent off to her.
We decided that the most speedy way would be to

take the boat overland, and accordingly we procured
six horses and got off by 7 o'clock. The distance
from Castletown to Port Iron is five miles.
When we arrived at the latter place we were assured
that the schooner had gone down about two hours
previously, but as this information was supposed to
be doubtful, and as the people strongly urged the
propriety of sailing the boat on the chance of pick-
ing up some of the crew who might still be floating,
even if the vessel had gone down, the boat was
launched by five minutes past 8. I accompanied
the men, and took with me the harbour-mapAer of
Port St. Mary to point out the position near as
might be where the vessel had last hew:, seen. We
went out in a north-westerly direcv.ion for about 4
miles and a half; the wind blowing strongly from
the N.W., and there being a very heavy sea• on.
In fact, it was such a sea as lam convinced no boat
but a lifeboat could have existed in many minutes.
We then cruised about the track which it was sup-
posed the schooner or her crew might bo on
for about an hour, showing a light, and looking out
in all directions, but without any success. The
boat's head was then turned towards the Calf of
Man, which we rounded, still being, as our crew
thought, on a favourable tract—a strong tide having
set in in that direction sufficient to carry along any
wreck or floating body. All our efforts, however,
were in vain,and we were obliged to return without
having effected any good. We first took the boat
into Port St. Mary, where we arrived about 12
o'clock, hoping to find the carriage and horses
there. In this we were mistaken; they had re-
turned to Castletown. And after the men had been
hospitably entertained by one of the inhabitants,
they rowed the lifeboat home td Castletown, where
they arrived shortly after two o'clock this morn-
ing. I regret to have to relate a tale of
such ill success, but the men did everthing
in their powers and exhibited a degree of
patience, perseverance, and bravery, such as asto-
nisned me. 'Tay sly their boat is beyond all praise.
I have ascertained th:..t the schooner in question
was the Vixen, of Peel, in this island, John Sacs-
burg, meter. Crew of five men, and captain's wife
on board, from Bordeaux to Belfast, with Indian
corn, in bulk. She called into Port St. Mary,
about two o'clock yesterday, to take the master's
wife on board. It is stated today, and beyond all
doubt that the vessel and all her crew went down.
This valuable lifeboat was instrumental on the 11th
inst. during a heavy gale of wind in saving four
persons from the smack WatorLilly, the vessel soon
afterwards becoming a total wreck. Altogether the
lifeboat has within the last six years rescued 27
shipwrecked persons.

triumphs.

TEE ALHAMBRA.
There was an equestrian performance, morning and even-
ing, at the Alhambra, in Leicester-square, by &Continental
company, under the direction of M. Loissett, and said to be
of great celebrity in Germany and Holland. An astonish-
ing exhibition in vaulting by " Little Clotilde," a girl abnit
ten years of age, and described as a niece of the director,
forms a remarkable part of the entertainment, but with the
drawback that one feat in particular, however marvellous, is
calculated to produce a painful impression on the mind of a
spectator, and a strong sense of the impropriety of exposing
a child of such tender years to such manifest danger. Be-
sides the equestian performances, which were varied and
often striking for their daring, there was a series of interest-
ing gyrations by Mr. Franklin on the trapeze, which were
frequently applauded, while the exploits of Rennef, the
clown, produced infinite merriment.

AGRICELTURAL FALL, ISLINGTON.
The Ester novelties at this' establishment were varied
and abundant. consisting of steeplechasing:, pony racing,
astonishing feats of vculting and horse-riding, and an as-
sault of arms by a party of the 20: Life Guards, under
Corporal Sheffield, which seemed to afford much gratifica-
tion to the audience. The Firo King, too, went through
his salamandrine feat of walking through a body of fire
which would certainly vitrify sandstone, though, of course,
he was soon out of its destructive influence. Messrs. Strange
and Palleyn are certainly doing what they can to deserve
success.

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

WESTMINSTER.

A LADY'S LIFE PLACED IN IMMINENT DANGER.—Hew
Walker was charged with being drunk while driving a
horse and cart, doing damage, and placing the life of a lady
in very imminent danger.
Police-constable 133 B said that at a quarter past 10 last
night he found the defendant drunk and incapable of tak-
ing care of his horse and cart in the high road at Knights-
bridge. At the time witness came up defendant was
standing on the footway near his cart.
MrTyrwbitt—What was the damage he did ?
Witness—He smashed a cab all to pieces.

Tdr Tyrwhitt—Was there any passenger in the cab P
Witness—Passengers inside, and also one on the box
with the driver. They were all placed in the most im-
minent peril. The cab-driver is here to state the circum-
stances of the case.

Alfred Wigan said—l was going by Albert-gate last
night when a buss pulled up in front of me for a passenger,
and I was going by when this man came right from the
other side of the road, and pulled right on to me on the
wrong side of the road.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—What was the effect of this ?
Witness—My cab was smashed up, and a lady much
injured and nearly killed.
Mr. Tyrwhitt - How was that ?
Witness—l had just taken up a party of five persons to
convey to Kensington, and had one of them, a lady, outside
the cab. It was the greatest mercy that she escaped. One
of the shafts of the cart shaved her dress, and had it gone
an inch more in one direction must have driven her right
through the cab.
Mr. Tyrwhict—ln what condition was the defendant ?
Witness—He was very drunk and on his wrong side. The
lady is here to say what happened to her.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cook—My mouth is so much hurt by a
blow I received that I can hardly speak. We were going
through Knightsbridge last night when on a sudden this
cart came upon us.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—What injuries did you receive ?
Witness—The shaft jumped up and struck mu on the
side of the head—it then fell a little and glancing down my
body did my clothes great damage.
Mr. Ty rwhitt—What was the damage ?

Witness—The shaft tore my silk dress to pieces—(dress
produced), and my flannel petticoats and other things
were dragged off my my back by the shaft of the cart.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Who was to blame ?
Witness—Nor the cabman ; he was driving properly.
Tho other man came upon him on a sudden.
Defendant—l was not the person to blame more than the
cabman.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt was really the greatest mercy that
something fatal did not result from defendant's misconduct.
He is fined 40s. for the offence, or will
_be imprisoned one
month ; 40s, damage to the lady's dress, or one month, and
he had better settle for the damage done to the cab, or a
summons will be issued ag,,inst him.

'JAYE'S WORSDELL'S PlLLS.—These Pills
are a purely vel:retable preparation, and may be taken
nt any time by either sex without fear or danger. They act
upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their flue tonic,
aromatic, and aperient properties, they remove all oppressive
accumulations, regulate the secretions of the liver and bowels,
strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood. Unlike many
remedies, they do not induce liability to take cold or esta-
blish a necessity for the habitual use of purgatives, and are
thus strongly recommended as the BEST FAMILY
MEDICINE.

APPREHENSION OF A RETURNED CONVICT.—
On Saturday forenoon Alexander Hunter, a man
about 35 years of age, belonging to Langholm, was appre-
hended in Linlithgow on a charge of forgery. \lt appears
that on Sept. 25, 1860, Hunter was sentenced at Jedburgli
to four years' penal servitude for forgery and uttering a
forged letter, and was liberated from Dartmoor Prison on
license on Dec. 21 last, having undergone three years and
three months of his sentence. The balance of a gratuity is
given to a released convict at the expiration of three
competentmonths, onp
person
nf
thatby cheer tlisfiecaartnefromghis
livelihood by honest a magistrate or other
means; and to obtain the balance due to him on that con-
dition Hunter appears to have fabricated a certificate to that
effect, and to have forged and adhibited to it the name of
Mr. Colqnhoun, chief constable, Linlithgow. He despatched
the certificate, along with his claim for the balance of the
gratuity, to the Governor of Dartmoor Prison ; but that
official, being suspiclous of the genuineness of the docu•
ment, communicated with INIr. Colquhoun, who made ar-
rangements for securing Hunter should he call at the post-
office. On Saturday forenoon Hunter called at the post-
office, asking for a letter, and was accordingly taken into
custody. He had previously been an inmate of the Linlith-
I gow poorhouse for some weeks.—Edinburgh Courant.
