LATEST NEWS from the UNITED
STATES AND CANADA.

By the arrival of the packet-ship Oxford, at Liverpool
yesterday, we have received New York Papers to the 20th
ult., with a file of the Toronto Chri4tinn Guardian to the
15th ult. inclusive. Ai the Papers by the Oxford from the
United States are only two days later than those brought
by the Liverpool steamer, they add little to our previous
stock of news from the States. From the frontier the
accounts continued to ba very satisfhctory. Acts of out-
rage wirer becoming of rare occurrence. Previous to
he proregaticn of the Legislative Assembly of Upper
Canada, on the 11:h ult., that body adopted an
address to the Queen by a majority of 21 votes against 12,
is which they implore hrr Majesty riot to withdraw from
them immediately the protection of any portion of the
troops now stationed in the two proviaces. They deplore
the vast expense which the British tation has incurred to
maintain the supremacy of order, allegiance, and the laws,
but they add that in the upper province it was not rendered
necessary by internal treason, but by the hostile attacks of
a neighbouring people, with ahem her Ak.jesty was pro-
fessedly at
peace, acd who ore still waging war against
the Crown and subjects of Great Bitain. They request
the Imperial Government to demand indemnity for the
destruction of the Sir Robert Peel steamer; and for the
injuries sustained by individuals in their property by the
lawless incursions cf the S 3 matthisors. Respecting Lord
Durham's report, the address contains the following para.
graph :

‘: Since the commenzement of the present Session of
the Provincial Parliament, the final Report of your Ma-
jesty's High Commissioner on the affiirs of British North
America, has been received in this country. In this Report
your Majesty's fe'thful subjects find many, statements deeply
affecting the social and politics]. relations and condition of
Upper and Lower Canada, and recommendations of several
important changes in the form and practice of the Constitu-
tion. It is with much concern that your Majesty's faithful
subjects find that your Majesty's High Commissioner has
strongly urged the adoption of these changes by your Ma-
jesty and the Imperial Parliament, without waiting for the
opinion that may be formed of them by the people, who
arc to be most deeply and immediately affected by them.
Under these circutstances, we have caused a Report to be
drawn up, by a Select Committee of tl.e House of As-
sembly, which contain:, matter referring to this subject, as
well as to our relations with the people of the United
States, which, we respectfully submit for your Majesty's
consideration."

The whole of the Liberal Press, and a very large mino-
rity in the Assembly are strongly in favour of Lord
Durham's Report. As to the Report of the Select Com-
mittee, it was drawn up by Attorney-General Haggerman,
an official hack, enjoying the regard of no party but the
sinecurists,: pensioners, and jobbers, and whose removal
from of would do much to obtain for any Government
the confidence of the Canadian people.

UPPER. CANADA.
PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT.

Toronto, May 11, 1839.

This day, at six o'clock, his Excellency the Lieutenant-
Governor proceeded in state from the Government House
to Chamber of the Honourable the Legislative Council,
where being arrived and seated on the Throne, the Gentle-
man Usher of the Black Rod was sent with a Message
from his Excellency to the House of Assembly, command.
ing their attendance. The Members present being come
up accordingly, his Excellency %vas pleased to prorogue the
Session of the Legislature with the following speech :
Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council;
and, Gentlemen of the House of Assembly—

In relieving you from your Legislative duties, I desire
to exi:ress • soy satisfaction at the seal and patience you
have displayed in considering the important subjects which
have engaged your attention. •
It has not surprised me, that consc'eatious differences of
opinion have so lung lel to much embarrassment in the
disposal of the clergy reserves.
You were right, certainly, to leave no means unat-
tempted, in order finally to settle this great question by the
Provincial Legislature ; but every expecrent having failed,
and all hope being excluded of unanimity here, 1 rejoice
greatly that this Parliament has resolved, that the diffi-
culties of this subject shall net longer be suffered to excite
aud encournge antagonist feeling in a community, whose
common safety requires the greatest concord.
I shall feel it my duty, to the utmost of my knowledge
and ability, to put her Majesty's Government in possession
of the desires and opinions of the people of Upper Ca-
nada, reksarding the public aid to be afforded to the main-
tenance of the C'nristien religion in the colony t and will,
without loss of time, t transmit that Bill, together with
your address thereon.
The Bill which you have passed, accepting the cession
of the casual and territorial revenue, upon condition of a
permanent supply for the support of the Government, in
its ordinary and meet necessary details, will, I hope, prove
satisfactory to her Majesty.
The omission, however, in the Bill to provide for certain
annuities, charged upon these revenues, renders it neces-
sary for me to reserve the Bill for the signification of her
Majesty's pleasure thereon.
I have derived great satisfaction from the Bill which
you have passed, for the promotion of liberal education,
and the extension of schools, of a highly useful character,
to every district in the province; and I most sincerely
hope, that another Sessien of the Legislature will not be
allowed to pass over, without your making a similar wise
and liberal provision for common schools.
Among ti:c measures of the Session. I am happy to ob-
serve a 8.11 for the establishment of a Lunatic Asylum,
which will have the humane effect of rescuing many un-
happy beings from incurable wretchedness ; and I have no
doubt, that the burden consequent on cap rying this benefi-
cent design int,: operation, will be cheerfully submitted to
by the people of the country.
In susteining the great interests or the country, no ob-
ject of legishvion requires more ere and precaution than
the elue regulation of its system of banking; and nothing
is more haz ueloue to those. interests that: a prolonged issue
of inconvertible bark paper.
Impressed with this truth, I consider it would have been
better to fix a much earlier day, for the return to a sound
system of banking, but have, nevertheless, determined nut
to withhold my concurrence to the Bill, which both Houses
of the Lessislature have agreed in thinking necessary.
Gertlemen of the House of Assembly—
I thank you, in her Majesty's name, .for the supplies
granted for the service of the present vcar.
In superintending the ordinary dishursernente, I shall
economically restrict then within tie narrowest limits.,
which are consistent mid: a due reeard to the efficient
administration of public affairs ; and I trust there will be

_EVENING EDITION.

no recurrence of the distressing events which caused an
expenditure last year, unexampled at any former period.
The serious doubts expressed by her Majesty's Govern-
ment as to passing any measures calculated to affect, and
especially to derange, the monetary system of the Province,
render it my duty to reserve, till her Majesty's pleasure be
known, such of the Bills as you have passed, which appear
to me to have that tendency.
I will lose no time in transmitting these Bills to her
Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, that the
decision upon them may be known with the least possible
delay.
In the mean time, I trust that the sale of the stock in
the Bank of Upper Canada, and the other resources of the
Province, will enable me, during the interval, to carry on
the public service without any material inconvenience.
Having felt it my duty to adopt this caurse in reference
to these Bills, it has become necessary for me also to re-
asrve, for the signification of her Majesty's pleasure, the
Bill for the relief of sufferers by the late insurrection, or by
foreign aggression; or, otherwise, claims under that Act
might be presented before there were any means provided
fur their liquids'ion.
It is my deliberate opinion, that at this crisis you must
seek for, and :rely upon, the protection and advice of her
Mejt-sty's G Trernment in your money concerns.
Holoureble Gentlemen and Gentlemen :
In re turning to your homes, and amongst those whom
you represent, I wish earnestly to impress upon you, that
your exertions in maintaining the same constitutional spirit
which has actuated you in your Parliamentary labours will
materially serve and promote the welfare cf the couetry ;
and I firmly hope and believe, that in any measure that Le:
Majesty's Government may recommend, and the Imperial
Parliment may adopt, for the future regulation of these
important Colonies, you will find that yrsur loyalty to your
Sovereign, and your faithful ettsehmerit to the Empire,
will be pre-eminent!), regarded, and sill ensure to you the
maintenance and protection of those political institutions
and constitutional principles which you so justly appreciate
and revere.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, MAY 19.
The Stock Market on Saturday presented the same
steady yet quiet appearance, which has characterised it
throughout the whole of the past week, the tendency being
however to improve in prices. Sales were made of United
States' Bank at 118-1 ; Delaware and Hulson Curial Co.
890; North American Trust Co: 854; Stonington Rail-
road Co. 36; and Harlem Railroad Co. at 594.
From New Orleans we are in possession of the weekly
Market Reports of the 11 th instant. The business in
cotton for the week ending on that day had not been
extensive, amounting only to 8000 a 10 000 bales, but
at full previous prices. The sto.k in port is estimated
at 123,811 bales. An amicable arrangement had been
consummated on the 10th instant) between Mr. Nolte
ani the parties with whom that gentleman had been
in diaiculty, through the intervention -of the Citizens'
Bank on the following terms, viz :—The co'tens lately
wader seizure are to be shipped according to the original in-
tentions, awl Mr. Nolte to draw bills in favour of each fac-
tor for the balance still due to him; these bi:ls are to be
taken by the Citizens' Bank, who agree to waive their legal
claims to damages (20.00) in the event of these drafts
being returned unpaid, which might result from a decline
in the foreign market. We learn it has also been further
settled in cases where the advances have been 'nide by
privee houses, that they will bear, proportionately with the
factors, any loss which may be experienced ir.Liverpool on
the cottons in which they are interested. Exchange at
New Orleans ruled at 7 a 7i per cent. premium on Eng-
land, sf. 25c. a sf. 271(7. on France, and a I per cent.
premium on New York at sight. Freights dull at forme..
rates.

The Lrouston intelliyencer of the 2d instant contains a
highly interesting statistical view of the finances cf Texas,
of which we famish an extract. The whole amount of
paper money issued by the Government since its formation,
is 1,099,453 dollars; about 198,453 dollars 11-4 s been
withdrawn from circulation, leaving a balance of 900,000
dollars. -Funded debt of the Government redeemable
after 1842, 6G7,800 dollars ; military and other scrip,
243.000 dollars; other claims against the government,
75,000 dollars; expenditure of the civil list, 400,000
dollars ; the whole amount of debt due or bearing interest,
2,599,000 dollars.

The resources to meet this debt are estimated as
follows :—lmport Lr the present year 934,000 dollars;
amount for land dues, 504,000 dollars ; supposed amount
of d:reet taxes. 250.000 dollars ; and of lots in the city of

QUEEN'S 13ENCII.--(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN V. THE PAIUSH (,FrICZItS OF LAUDETEI.

A rate had been obtained in this case, calling upon the
defendants to show cause why a mandamus should not issue,
calling upon them to produce the parish books, and allow
the attendance of the Vestry Clerk therewith, for the
purpose cf ert:ring into a scrutiny or the votes taken at
the last elccticn of officers for the parish. It appeared that
a meeting- of the 'parishioner,; in vestry ar.,:ribled, had
been held at the Thys' School, in lerinbeth, on Reiter
Tuesday last, for the purpose of el -etieg parish officers,
over which tie Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, the Rector, presided as
chairman. Two sets of officers were proposed, and
the chairman lut the names, and took the show of
hands thereon, which was in favour of the fist set.
A poll was then demanded, and the Chairman said
he would grant a poll to take place in the Church
porch on the following morning. Ile was requested to
take the sense of the parishioners in vestry assembled as
to when and where the poll should take place, but ho
refused to put the question, and afterwards left the chair,
when another Chairman was elected, the parishioners
assembled proceeded to take the poll immediately, and
afterwards made proclamation for those who bad not
already voted to come forward and vote, and that then
they proceeded to cast up the votes, when it was found
that the election had fallen on those iu whose favour the
show of hands had been. On the next day a poll took
place at the Church porch, which lasted three days, and
the same perscns had a majority, on which a scrutiny was
demanded and granted by the Rector, upon which the
parish officers refused to produce the books, 'and a man-
damus was applied for in consequence.
Sir F. Poeeciee this morning showed cause against the
rule, and on the ground that the law requires the election
to take place by the parishioners in vestry assembled there
and then; and that the first election was consequently the
valid one, and under that the officers had been sworn in
and were now performing their functions; be contended
that the proceeding afterwards taken at the Church porch
was a riullity, because the Chairman had no power to ad-
journ the poil without the consent of the parishioners in
vestry assembled, and he had refused to put the question,
and he left the Chair. The law required that the officers
should be elected by the parishioners in vestry assembled,
and therefore it was illegal to adjourn the poll to another
time and place, and consequently there could be no excuse
for requiring these bock; to scrutinize an election, which
by the illegal manner in which it was held was null and void.
Air. CRESWELL (who was with Sir F. Pollock) con-
tended that the Chairman had no power to determine
whether there should be a pull cr not, but was bound to
proceed eith it at once, when it was demanded, and that
when the election was begun, the Chairman had no right
to stop it or to adjourn the vestry of his .own authority,
and that as the first election was the legal one, the manda-
mus ought not to issue to assist in scrutinising a nullity.
Mr. Haves followed on the same side. _

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in support of the rule con-
tended that the conduct of Dr. D'Oyley was perfectly
legal, and that the churchwardens had no right to elect
another chairman while he was in the chair and proceed
with the election—that the election at the church-porch
was the legal eme, and that a scrutiny having been de..
mended, he could not make a legal return unless these
books were produced.
Lord DENMAN said the rule must be made absolute, be-
cause, prima facie the Chairman must be supposed to have
legal authority to regulate the proceedings of the meeting
over which he presided.—Rule 4bEolute.
