ARCHMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.—The approaching meet-
ing of the Institute at Cambridge promises in every
respect to he attended with the most interesting results.
Both the University and the municipal authorities show
every wish to promote the objects of the society, whose
opening meeting will take place on Tuesday evening,
when it is believed that a discourse will he given by the
Disney Professor of Archaeology, Cambridge being the
only university in this country which at present has
recognised the subject as of sufficient importance to be
entitled to a professorship, founded there by the libe-
rality of a private individual. The town-clerk will also
read a memoir on local subjects. The Prince Consort
has graciously intimated his intention of being present
at the proceedings on Wednesday, which will take place
at twelve o'clock, in the Senate•house. On this occa-
sion Dr. Guest is expected to read a dissertation on the
remarkable boundary Dykes of Cambridgeshire, which
are probably to be regarded as the vestiges of the great
struggle which occurred in the eastern parts of Britain
about the commencement of the Christian era. Profes-
sor Willis has also prepared an architectural survey of
all the ancient buildings of note in the University, which
he will n• doubt illustrate with his accustomed success.
The following days will be distributed amongst excur-
sions to Bury, Ely, Audley-end, and Hengrave, and in
the intervals the sectional business will be carried on.
Several valuable communications have been announced
from Mr. Weetmacott, the Ron. R, C, Neville, and
Dr, Bruce.

The Earl of EGLINTON was sorry to differ from
his noble at:d learned friend as to the necessity of the
bill, which he considered was a piece of over
legislation. He never yet heard a case mentioned,
on authority, of a dog having gone mad in conse-
quence of being used in drawing carts. He moved that
the bill be read a third time this day three mouths.
Lord BROUGHAM considered that, as dogs were
not designed by Providence for the purposes of draught,
it was an act of cruelty to employ them in carts.
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER tendered his thanks
to Lord St. Leonards for introducing the bill. If the
present law were allowed to remain, it ought to be ap-
plied to all the country districts, where the nuisance of
dog-carts was more felt than even it was formerly in
London.

Lord HATHERTON was understood to support the bill

The Earl of MALMESi3URY said there were 1,500
persons in Sussex at.d Hampshire alone who got their
living by means of these dog-carts, and if this bill passel
their property would be confiscated. - They were to be
made liable to an imprisonment of three calendar month,
for driving dogs., which was out of all proportion with
the offence. They should take care that in preventing
cruelty to dogs they were not inflicting cruelty on men.
The Duke of ARGYLL said the arguments against
the bill were not conclusive. They prevented the use of
dog-carts in London, and if they committed an injustic,
then, it ini;„ht well be argued that they ought to commit
it now. (Much laughter.)

Earl GRANVILLE thought the argument of hi=
noble friend was not calculated to recommend the bill.
(Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that the case of cru-
elty had broken down. It was said that dogs were no:
beasts of draught, but this very bill showed that they
were. (Hear, hear.) He thought it was a dangerous
principle to legislate against dog-carts, the means of
living of one class of persons—because they were less
respectable than the carts of the class above them.
(Hear, hear.)

The Earl of CHICHESTER supported the bill.
The Earl of WICKLOW said this bill had passed the
House of Commons. It was not right, therefore, to say
that it was petty or over legislation. The number of
petitions in favour of the bill showed that it was neces-
sary. He believed that the employment of donkeys or
asses would be more economical.

The Earl of EGLINTON withdrew his amendment,
but signified his intention of pressing it in committee.
The second reading was then agreed to.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL.

On the motion of Lord BROUGHAM, the Ecclesiastical

CANADIAN AFFAIS.
Sir J. PALING' ON wished to put a question to the
Secretary for the Colonies in consequence of rumours
which prevailed with regard to the recent intelligence
from Canada. It was reported that after the opening of
the session by the Governer-General an amendment had
been moved to the address, which had been carried against
the Government, on the question of the clergy reserves,
and in consequence of that adverse vote, the Governor
was abont to dissolve the legislature, and that a change
of the ministry was about to take place. He wished to
ask whether the right hon. gentleman had received any
official intelligence on the subject ?
Sir G. GREY said her Hajesty's Government had not
received any official intelligence on the subject. The
latest accounts were contained in a despatch from Lord
Elgin, dated the 17th ult. and containing his speech on
the opening of the session, but no further intelligence had
been received.
