to the origin of the present agitation in the Canadas.
Anything that can at all tend to enlighten the public '
mind upon a matter of so great importance cannot
but 'prove welcome to the community. And the
quotations given by curselves, from this bro-
chure now in the press, will be found to throw
considerable light upon the precise character of the
Bill of Indemnity which, as an enactment peculiarly
obnoxious to the faction of Orangemen, and to magis-
trates out-at-elbow, and to all unprincipled adventu-
rers, led to:the insults offered to his Excellency Lord
ELGIN, and to the burning of the Parliament House
at Montreal. Particular stress, it will be observed, is
laid by the pamphleteer upon the introduction of the
name of Dr. WOLFRED NELSON into the measure as the
principal claimant for compensation ; but even in this
instance it still requires to be more definitively proved
that the Government acted otherwise than with the
most judicious impartiality.

FARADAY ON ELECTRICITY.—Professor Faraday is
now delivering a course of lectures at the Royal Insti-
tution, in which he is gradually unfolding his many
wonderful discoveries in regard to that subtle force of
nature—electricity. On Saturday afternoon we had
the gratification of hearing the third of the series, and
we were delighted to observe that, notwithstanding the
attractions of her Majesty's drawing-room, a nume-
rous and fashionable audience had assembled to pay
their tribute of attention to the illustrious philosopher.
