THE CAN All AS.

We learn from the Montreal Courier of \Vedees-
day, that a Proclamation was agreed in Council on
Monday last, summoning a Parliament to meet at
Kingston, on Thursday, the Bth of April. The elec-
tions will, therefore, take place throughout the province
during the month of March ; and it is, we understand,
contemplated thai; Parliament should meet for the de-
spatch of busine3s some time in May, by which time the
arrangements at Kingston will be completed, and the
opening of the navigation may be expected to afford
every facility to the Members of the Legislature to ar-
rive at the seat of Government.

The following appointments have been made :
To be S.letetaries of the Province of Canada
Daly and Mr. Harrison, the former to take the Affairs
and Correspondence of the Lower, and the latter those
of the Upper Province.
To be members of the Executive Council :
Mr. B. Sullivan, Mr. Daly, Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Ogden, Attorney-General of Lower Canada.
Mr. Draper, Attorney-General of Upper Canada.
Mr. Day, Solicitor-General of Lower Canada.
Mr. Baldwin, Solicitor-General of Upper Canada.
Mr. Dunn, Receiver-General.

DEATH OP JUDGE BARBOUR.—This morning the
Hon. Philip P. Barbour, a Judge of the Supreme
Court of the United States, was found dead in his bed.
He was on the bench yesterday, and retired to rest at
an early hour, in perfect health, and in fine and buoyant
,pirits, with which he was peculiarly blest. Not a ruffle
was observed on the bed-clothes ; he seems to have died
not only without a struggle, but with scarcely the mov-
ing of a limb. He was an amiable and good man, and
was about 60 years of age. lie came into Congress in
I the year 1814, the last year of the war with England,
and immediately took a distinguished leal as an able
and adroit debater. He remained in Congress many
years, and was chosen Speaker iu opposition to John
W. Taylor, in 1821. He occupied the Speaker's Chair
two years, when it was resumed by the great Clay. He
continued in Congress till 1830, when he was called to
the Supreme bench of his native State, and finally,
about the year 1834, was appointed by General Jack-
son a Judge of the Supreaae Court. He possessed
vast powers of mind, was a profound lawyer, but was
too much given to abstract'ons and hair-splitting ever CO.
become a great statesman. He was brother then S-
enor Barbour, was once Senator from Virginia,
cretary of War, and Minister to Englan Epd_,yerni‘oinr:
Adams, and, lastly, President of the FT
