the opinion of a meeting of Liberal Members which was held Pfte"-"="--`-' '"l 'e .-/
dong's Hotel, a few days since, on the subject. Ail ‘,i 711 .-1 '. -
Mr. H. WEYMOUTH was called upon to take the Chair, and having
shortly stated the objects of the meeting as shown in the introduction,
desired the Secretary to read the proposed constitution of the Association.
The Secretary then read as follows :—" That at a meeting of the Re-
formers of Marylebone, held on the 9th ult., it was resolved—That an
Association, to be called ' Tile Borough of Marylebone Reform and
Registration Association' be now formed, and that its objects be to pro-
mote the cause of general and local Reform by all legal means—to su-
perintend and enlarge the registration of Reformers in the Borough, and
to detect and expose all fraudulent or illegal attempts to exercise the
elective franchise to the prejudice of the Liberal interest ; and that the
Committee do take the necessary steps to effect those objects."
1 The CHATRAIAN then announced that it was proposed that the Associ-
ation should be directed by a President, Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, &e.
Since their last meeting, Mr. Raikes Currie, M.P., had assented to be.
come their Treasurer, and the following eighteen Members of Parlia-
ment their Vice-Presidents--Messrs. R. Alston, J. J. Briscoe, W. J.
Blake, W. Clay, L. Duckworth, P. H. Fleetwood, R. Ferguson, W.
Crawford, B. Hall, W. G. Hayter, J. Hume, J. M`Taggart, P. St. J.
Mildmay, J. Pattison, N. A. Vigors, A. Yates, and Captain Dundas.
This was received with loud cheers.
Mr. HOYENDEN wished to make a few observations as to the forma-
tion of the present Association, which was fraught with importance.
The business would doubtless be hardworking, but in such labour be
thought all true Reformers would readily join when they knew their
interest was at stake—(Hear)—and on his being about to move a Ge-
neral Committee of Management to be appointed, it must be obvious
that it would riot rest with the gentlemen who composed that body whe-
ther the Association succeeded or not.—(Cheers.) It mainly depended
on the working of the District Committees, where every man must
employ himself with zeal to effect the one great end. The worthy
gentleman then proposed that the General Conunittee of Management
, consist of the hi-Bowing persons:—Dr. Fellowes, Professor Key, Dr.
1 Taylor, Major Revell, Captain Ricketts, R.N., Dr. Elmore, 'Messrs. J.
E. Hovenden, H. Waymorith, W. Theobold, G. Houghton, J. Drake,
B. Williams, C. Wilson, W. Kensitt, J. Ivimay, &c. &c.
Major REYEI,u, would seeond the motion.
The motion, with a verbal amendment of " power to add to their
numbers," was then put from the chair, and carried unanimously.
Mr. B. HALL., M.P., then s:.:ed forward to address the meeting, and
on rising was loudly cheered. His recommendation was, that the Com-
mittee of Management set to work immediately to make rules for the
guidance and government of the district Committees, &c. It was ne-
cessary that no delay should take place, as the rates and taxes must be
1 tortly paid up, and their friends the overseers wool! inform them who
were the defaulters. With rese)ect to his devoting much of his time
to the affairs of the Association, that was impossible, as the business
of the borougn generally absorbed his whole attention.—(Hear,
hear.) As to representation of the borough—for that was the
main point in which the interest of the Association hinged—they
must look well to the registration, as the Tories were now so
thoroughly organised, that some difficulty had been found in the late
election to return one liberal representative, and it was well known
that there was a gentleman already in the field as a cohleaeue for Lord
Teignmouth, no less a person than Mr. Hope, who bad been returned
yesterday tbr Gloucester, but whom he (Mr. Hall) believed would be
the man the Tories would select, should opportunity occur, he being a
man of great wealth, and having some influence in the borough. The
Hon. Gentleman then movc.l that the Committee of Management be
empowered forthwith to make rules for the guidance of the Association ;
which being seconded, was carried unanimously.
A list of the annual subscribers was then read ; and several handsome
donations announced, among which were those of B. Hall, Esq., M.P.,
10 guineas, and Mr. ilovenden Sir the like sum.
Thanks were voted to Chairman, who having acknowledged the com-
pliment in a neat speech, the meeting separated.

THE CANADAS.

(Fairs! A CORRESPONDENT.)
Mil.- 7, 18:38.—In ray last letter, I mentioned the execution of Lount
and Mathews. Some of the papers have asserted that Sir George
Arthur did not refuse their bodies to their friends. This assertion,
like many others, is unwarranted. His Excellency did -refuse this, the
widow's prayer. The bodies were interred in Putter's Field, by order
of the authorities, and, by stealth, and by opening the graves ;it night,
their families regained the possession of the corpses of their relatives.
Lount's eldestdaughter was to see her father the day before lie was to suf-
fer. She was so much affected by the interview that she has since died of
a broken heart. This has also been contradicted, but a gentleman of
the highest respectability assures me, that the young lady was in-
terred before he left Toronto. It is now said that there are to be no
more executions. Young Lount made his escape to this side of the
Lakes. He says, that within three hours after his father was executed,
Sir George Arthur had a writ issued, and officers dispatched to take
possession of his father's property, and even the wearing apparel of the
family was seized:

The new Council assembled at Montreal upon the 18th, when Sir
John Colborne gave them as President the lion. Mr. Cuthbert, a worthy
President of suchjbudy, and laid before them a number of Bills for their
consent. One is an ordinance suspending the Habeas Corpus Act
throughout the Province, from the passing of the Bill (April 23) to the
24th day of August next, in all cases of treason, misprision of treason,
suspicion of treason, or treasonable practices. It passed unanimously.
We expect nettling but unmitigated tyranny as far as the ordinances are
concerned. For. more than twenty years the party now legislating in
Lower Canada have been deprived of the means of doing evil by Legis-
lative Acts. Now rampant, they have it in their power to do as they
Please, and the suspension u the Habeas Corpus Act is a proof that they
will not neglect the opportunity of evil that is presented to them.
Nearly two hundred persons are still confined in gaol at Montreal for
political olferwes, or on suspicion. Messrs. L. M. Viges and Touissant
Peltier have repeatedly endeavoured to be brought to trial; they refuse
not to answer any charge that can be brought against them. Their
efforts have hitherto been in vain. They applied for writs of habeas
corpus. In one of the cases the writ was addressed to the Sheriff: His
return was, that they were not in his custody. It seems that they had
been removed from the charge of the Sheriff to that of the Commandant
of the garrison, although originally arrested under the warrant of a ma-
gistrate. Finding this to be the case, the advocates of the pri:oners
next had the sent addressed to the Commandant, Lieutenant-Colonel
Wetherall. This writ was issued by Judge Rolland (honour to him!)
on the 21st instant. On the 23d the Colonel returned tlist Le held the
prisoners under martial law, and in obedience to the orders of his supe-
rior officer. On the 24th the Judge declared this return to he unsatis-
factory, and issuecdan order calling upon Colonel Wetherall to show cause
on the 25th why he should not be committed for contempt. Holland
acted i:: this matter in opposition to the other Judges, who, as you may
suppose, support the Government in everything right or wrong—their
salaries being now secure. This proceeding will explain the sudden
passing of the ordinance for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus. On
Saturday, the 2lst, the application was made for the writs to the Com-
mandant, and the military authorities were called upon to produce the
bodies. The Government then became alarmed lest its agents might be
exposed to prosecutions and to penalties, and therefore took steps to
protect them. On Monday, the 23d, the Council met at nine o'clock
in the morning, in extraordinary session, and by passing an ordinance
for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus, put a stop to the proceedings
against Wetherall, thus securing the continued incarceration of its vic-
tims. It is unnecessary to comment upon these arbitrary proceedings.
The Habeas Corpus Act is no defence to guilty persons, and its only use
is at the time when political excitement renders it probab'e that arbi.
tiary proceedings will be resorted to. At the moment when a good law
is to be called into action, it is suspended! Well, I suppose we must
bear it. England has no excuse to engage again in any continental
dispute,under the pretence of upholding liberal principles.
In my last I mentioned the seizure of the types and presses of the Vindi.
color office, and the imprisonment of Mr. Laroque, tlir being concerned
in the publication of the article in the London and Tresinthmter Review
on " Lord Durham and the Canadians." He has since been liberated
upon bail. The press and types are, however, still in " durance vile" in
the cellars of the Court-house. Mr. Perrault's family have applied to
the Governor and Magistrates for the property, and have offered security
that no work, or printing, shall be done with them, as they wished
merely to preserve them from destruction. This request has been re-
fused! They have an awful terror of the types, whether in use or not,
and only feel secure so long as the rebellious bits of metal are incarce.
rated. Is there no way to get these matters noticed in Parliament ?
The following are other Ordinances passed by the Council:-
1. To continue the Emigrant Tax Bill I This is the Bill against
which so much exclamation was made, as showing an hostility on the
part of the French to British interests. Any reasonable being would
have supposed that after the outcry made by the Tories against it, that,
when power should be in their hands, they never would countenance it.
Yet we hind them putting it among the first of their measures, notwith-
standing the loud indignation they affected to vent against it.
2. Ordinances to continue the Registry Offices in the townships—
Lessors and Lessees Bills—Bill for the more easy recovery of seamen's
wages--Protestant Bills of Exchange Bill—Bill to provide for the
transportation of felons to Van DiCITICR'S Land—Bill relating to the in-
ferior district of St. Francis.

All these are in continuation of expiring laws.
3. An Act of indemnity for all acts committed by the Loyalists since
the Ist of October last, for the suppression of treason, dispersion of sedi-
tious and illegal meetings, &c. I cannot tell what happened in October
to cans, them to ) bac!: to that :,:oath. s.,:r,!liittg happened
aucL+,7t: t)t. . knowledge. God knows that enough has
been done in the llistrieL Mont, a 1 to require a thousand Acts of
indemnity.

4. An Ordinance empowering the Governor to appoint three Corn.
missioners to investigate the claim.; of the loyal inhabitants for losses
sustained during th, late unnatural iebellion. This 'measure will not
include a compensati,:n to those whose houses were wilfully burnt,by
the Montreal militia, in their heroic expeditions against the unarmed
habitam.

5. An Ordilince for the repayment of 142,160/. 16s. lid.
6. Supply Bill for the year 1838, amounting to 47.3441. 14s. 7d.
Ido w.iy symptom of s!!spending martial law. Perhaps, after
all, we are to have martial law and !he sit:Tension of the haocas corpus
at ilia same time. Nothing has y.t been eone for education in the pro.
vince. it was said that the School Bill was passed, but the official list
is silent upon it Repaying 1.1.2.,000/., and the Supply Bill, has almost
emptied the che,t. The officials have paid themselves, and little remains
for the people, wl:ose want, are of small moment, either in the eyes of
the Colonial Office, or cf the authorities in Canada.

The tel'uu:ss have lately ha:', a meeting at Lewistown, add resolved to
g into for Lount and Mathews.

At Toronto, Captain I‘larryatt toastea " Captain Dzew and his brave
band, who cut out the Caroline !" This has raised the inlignation of
1;1 °Vier Jonathan. Accordingly, a call was made on the people of
Rochester to bring out all the copies they had o:' Marryatt's novels,
whicii they brought out, and a bonfire was made of them.
'trade in Upper And Lower Canada is in a terrible state. Not a
dollar to he collected. Numbers of people are leaving the Upper Pro-
vince. It teas lately said, that as many as 50,000 persons will leave it
and emigrate to the wes:. Grant that this estimate is too high by half,
the Colony is already too poor, too much impoverished, to spare even
25,000 of its inhabitants; yet lam sure it will lose as many by actual
emigration. How much it will lose by immigration I cannot calculate.
The suspension .11 the Habeas Corpus Act, the existence of martial law,
and the violence of parties in the Lower Province; the arbitrery ens-
meter and oppressive caaduct of the government in the Upper Province,
with Arthur as. Governor, are considerations quite sufficient to.deter the
best emigrants from embarking their lives and hirtunes in either Pro.
wince. By tine suspension of the Constitution all notions of obeslience to
:he Government and all sense Of its security arc destroyed for a long
tins' to come. A disappointed party, instead of seeking to ol;tani in-
fluence in future, by just and ;;roper conduct, will always endeavour to re-
venge itself by measures that shall lead the Colonial Oflice to deprive the
country of its constitutional and political privileges. Your Parliament,
by its high-handed policy has sown the sends of many miseries, which it
will be the first to see and to deplore.
