(From the Quebec Papers received this morning.)
We are sorry to read in the Upper Canada papers that
Sir Allen M'llab is labouring under a severe indisposition
at his residenCe at Burlington.
It is said that amongst cther movements in the spring,
the Royals, under Colonel Wetherall, will proceed to the
London district, where he will also have under his com-
mand the 43d and 83d regiments.
THE SEASON.—The accounts from Montreal and Up-
per Canada all lead to the expectation that the river navi-
gation will be open at an early period. To-day the thaw
still continues, with occasional showers, and there is every
appearance that the spring will be fully ten days earlier
tr an usual.

&rico the early part of the morning the Consol market.
has been buoyant and looking up. Consols have reached
91 r.tr the Account, aid at present. ntay he quoted at
914 for the Account ; Money 9la ; Exchequer Bills,
24 2 prom. ; Bank Stock 1751.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active, 281'; Portuguese,
t.tfti; Colombian, 261 ; Mexican, 303 ; Btigian, 103 ;
Dkini,h, 791; Dutch Two-and. a-Hall per Cents., 54 ;
Five per Cuots.,

To!Ars —We reported, a few days ago, very favour-
ably of Mr. Groom's splendid snow of tulip,. ; and
found so much pleaure in cis wing them that we have
again paid them a visit. Their beauty continues un-
abated, and they will offer for some days rne of the
richest rre4ts to the rover of fine flawers that he can
ever enjoy. Mr. Groom's grounds are remarkable for
some other beauties as well as the tulips. thougit
they are its chief ornaments. This ntlernan
is a remarkable example of perseverance. He
has visited Holland and France, and spared no
'Maur .nor expense to bring his own favourite plant to
perfection. On one occasion he bought front a dealer
six bulbs successively at one giumea each, and could
make cone of them grow. With the s,venth he was
successful, and in the end produced a flower, which
eoi.bled him to sell to the person he had bought the
set en bulbs of; bulbs to the value of six mid twenty
gu Meas. Perseverance like his, whatever it be directed
to, deserves a reward. His tine flowers now cumin ind
the admiration of the most enlightened lovers of his
art, and will be visited by persons from all parts of the
kingdom.

_BIRMINGHAM POLICE ACT.-.—ln the Parliamentary
orders for to-day there is an entry Of the foilowir,g
Police Assessment Act, second reading." Now
under this common-place title it is actua'ly proposed to
bei;uile Members of Parliament into a recognition of
the un-English princip!e of a centralized police, against
nich last autumn the House so loudly protested.
s said " Police Assessment Act" is a curious mea-
sure . It applies only to Birmingham, Manchester, and
Bolt on, and provides for a large increased levy in each
of ti ruse places to support the Government Police.
The rcpres 'otatives of those towns ought to resist this
mast!, re clause by clause.
