ELECTION COMMITTEE.

CAMBRIDGE.

This Committee met again yesterday, when strangers
were immediately ordered to withdraw, and the Committee
resumed the consideration of the point under discussion at
the moment of the adjournment en Saturday. On our re-
turn, the result announced was, thlt " the Committee re-
quire proof of agency in the firbt instance, but they will
not reject evidence of bribery, which may be likely to
prove to be evidence of bribery."
Several witnesses were then examined at considerable
length, the greater part of which, peadente lite, we think
it advisable to reserve till completed ; and the Committee
adjourned till this day (Tuesday).

THE CANADA CLERGY RE-

SERVES BILL.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.

REMARKS ON MR. JUSTICE JOHN PATTESON'S OPINION
AS TO THE RESERVED LANDS ALLOTTED FOR THI
SUPPORT OF A PROTESTANT CLERGY IN THE PRO-
VINCES OF UPPER AND LOWER CANADA.

J. Y.—" Applicable only to the Clergy of the Church
of England." Why, where is England ? Surely these
will be the Clergy of the Canadas.

" Clause 40. renders these Clergy subject and liable
to all rights of institution, and all other spiritual and
ecclesiastical authority of the Bishop of Nova Scotia,*
according to the laws and canons of the Church of
England, which are legally established and received in
England." In an episcopal sense, therefore, these
Clergy of " the said provinces, or either of them re-
spectively," being so subject to that Hierarebon, would
be Nova-Scotian, not Anglican, " or such other autho.
rity as may hereafter be lawfully granted by his Ma-
jesty, within the said provinces or either of them respee-
tively,"proves that the remaining words of the sentence,
" according to the laws and canons," &c. applies but to
the Bishop of Nova Scotia, which " authority " may
not hereafter, or may be granted, wholly or provincially
in Canada.

Clauses 38 and 39 have especial reference to the
first, and only presented, Clergyman of a NEW (" which
now is, or hereafter may be formed") " parsonage or
rectory." And even these pastors are to hold the
same with liability only to functionary ministrations,
the same as the duties of a cure in England.
To the CONGREGATED CHURCH of that so supplied
" township or parish," its " one or more" parsonages
would remain the selection, and to the Minister of that
Church scriptural ordaining (see Ep. to Taus) of
his successor.

Such original presentations would be consistently
Crown-right, by the spirit of our constitution and im-
perial legislature. But other original presentations, after
satisfying the tender Anglicanism of the Statute, would
not be necessarily confined other than to " Protestant "
men, just as accession to the Throne is limited.

A Paragraph having lately found its way into
the colums of some of our Morning Contemporaries, extracted,
we believe, from a provincial journal, to the effect that Lord
Stuart (le Decies had embraced the Roman Catholic religion,
we have authority for giving the most positive contradiction to
the statement in questiel.
RAILWAY TO SCOTLAND.—It is rumoured
that the commissioners will report in favour of a west line;
but it is unknown whether the preference will be given to the
Morecambe Bay or the Inland project. We have always in-
sisted on it as unfair, to either side of England, to giro the
preference to the oth4r. On the east side a line will certainly

At the last concert given at the Musical Fund
Hall, Philadelphia, by Miss Poole, Giubilei, and Manvers, a
very young gentleman in the audience had provoked much
notice anti quiet censure by standing up during the singing,
with his back to the performers, talking and giggling with quite
a young lady. When, however, Giubilei came to the song of
.. ye Tormentors," and to the passage of " Methouglit a jack-
ass rose before me ! " the lad found all eyes fixed upon him,
and quickly shrunk into his seat.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF Music.—The first sub-
scription concert by the pupils of the Royal Academy of Music
took place at the Hanover-square Rooms on Saturday morning.
Mr. P. Cramer was the leader, and Mr. C. Lucas the con.
doctor. The performance was honoured with the presence of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who was evidently much
interested with all he saw and heard. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge was also present, as were his Grace th•
Archbishop of York, Lord Burghersh, Sir William Curtis,
Sir George Clerk, and several more in the Director's boa.
Mr. Orde's celebrated Ardrossan Mare, the dam
