lIALF-PAST ONE.
The New Brunswick papers contain an account from
Halifax, stating that the debate on the despatches began
on the 3d February by the introduction of a series of reso-
lutions, prefaced by a speech, chiefly on the beauties of
responsible government by Mr. Howe, who occupied the
floor about three hours. Several of.the resolutions passed.
The following is an extract of the resolutions :
Resolved, that it is the opinion of this Committee, that
during the struggle which, since 1807, this House has
maintained, with a view to reduce expenses and improve
the institutions and purify the administration of the coun-
try, it has been met at every step by an influence which,
while it was beyond the control of the Assembly, has
wielded the whole power and patronage of the Govern-
ment to baffle its efforts and thwart the wise and benevo-
lent
policy avo‘s ed by her Majesty's Ministers.
Resolved, That it is the opinion: of this Committee,
that, in approaching many of the important questions to be
disposed of in the present:Session, the House of Assembly
feels embarassmcnt and difficulty, which it would be un-
wise to conceal either from the Government or the country
at large.
Resolved, that it is the opinion of the Committee that the
House of Assembly, after mature and calm deliberation,
weary of seeing the revenues of the country and the time
of its representatives wasted, and the people of Nova
Scoria misrepresented to the Sovereign, and the gracious
boons of the Sovereign marred in their transmission to the
people, do now solemnly declare that the Executive Coun-
cil, as at present constituted, does not enjoy the confidence
of the country, and that it can anticipate no satisfactory
settlement of those questions until the Executive Coun-
cil is so remodelled as to secure this House the aid of
the Local Administration in carrying out the views of the
Assembly, and in facilitating any negociations which it may
be necessary to conduct with her Majesty's Government.
Consols may be quoted at present with an improvement,
90i 91 for the Account ; Money, 90-1 j; Exchequer Bills,
17 19 prom. ; in India Bonds nothing doing ; Bank Stock
shut; in India Stock nothing done.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active is not so good as

still in the market, they may be quoted 28;4, reached 291
in the morning ; Passive, 7 ; Portuguese, 34 ; Colom-
bian, 24 ; Dutch Two and Half per Cents., 52A- ; Five
per Cents. m.
No further arrivals. Money is easy at present,
