COMMON PLEAS (THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice COLTNIAN was sworn in the usual form on his
taking his seat on the Bench. No case of public interest
came before the Court up to the time of our going to press.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received Montreal papers to the 3d March, and
Quebec to the Ist March.

( From the Montreal Papers. )
" The Bill allowing foreigners to hold real estates in Upper
Canada has been thrown out by the Legislative Council. We
shall be curious to know what reasons were assigned by the
majority for so doing."
(From the Quebec Papers.)
" On the Ist March snow began to fall at an early hour,
and continued during the day, with a strong wind from the east-
ward. The ice forming the quay still holds, but that which
was stationary opposite the town now floats with the tide, leav-
ing the river perfectly clear during the flood."
By the arrival of the packet ship Pennsylvania from New
York, papers have been received up to the 11th ult., at
which time money was exceedingly scarce. Two failures had
taken place, but they are not of great magnitude. Exchange
on London was 84 to 9+, and United States Bank Shares,
1191. There were a great many arrivals out from England.
From Liverpool we understand that the packet brings no
specie, and that the England packet ship of the 16th, which is
below, is also without specie.
The Halifax and New Brunswick papers of the 16th Feb.,
state that the quarrel about closed doors between the Nova
Scotia Assembly and the Legislative Council was not settled.
The New Brunswick Assembly had got so much alarmed at
the supposition that the Lieut.-Governor would not finally
assent to the Civil List Bill, that they had resolved they had
no confidence in him or the Executive Council. A snow
storm has commenced, and there has been between five and six
feet snow in the woods.

INVe have received a Boston paper this morning of-the 15th
March. By this source intelligence from Texas and Mexico up
to a late date has been received. Nothing of general im-
portance had transpired in either country since the former
advices.

From the Halifax papers of the 21st February, we learn
that the threatened interruption of business between the two
Legislative chambers is now no longer a matter of alarm.
The reception of the resolution, though not communicated by
message, (an intentional act on the part of the House), seems
to have been received by the Council as a salve for their
wounded honour. The current of politics is now running in
the usual channel. During the week, the House had been
in Committee, in consideration of a supply to his Majesty.
Some retrenchments had been successfully attempted.
New Brunswick Papers to the 13th of March have been
received, but they do not contain any news of importance.
Prince Edward's Island Papers have also been received to
the 29th of February. They bring the Report of the Com-
mittee of the House of Assembly on the Public Accounts.
By that document it appears that the Revenue last year
amounted to the respectable sum of 11,5131. 103. 9id. The
payments made at the Treasury during the same period are
stated at 8,682/. 4s. qd., which sun► includes part of the
expenditure for the year 1835. The warrants issued last year,
and not yet paid, amount to 5,0941. Is. 91d.—thus making
the total expenditure for the ear amount to 13,776/. 6s. 6d.,
but this, as before stated, includes several appropriations made
in 1833, but slot paid until last year. The balance of the
debt now due by the country is stated at 11,583/. 18s. 34d.,
or about one year's revenue.
From New Brunswick, we learn that the following message,
in answer to the address, requesting to know when his Excel-
lency would give Isis assent to the Civil List, has been sent to
the [louse :

The Lieutenant-Governor informs the House, in answer
to the address of the Ist inst., that the recommendation to add
a suspending clause to the Bill for the support of the Civil
Government of the Province not having been complied with,
he deems it his duty, for the reasons stated in his former com-
munication, to take further time to consider on this very im-
portant measure, in the hope of receiving answers to his dis-
patches on the subject before the close of the session."
