Montreal papers to the 15th November, and Quebec to the .
14th November, were this day received at the North and South
American Coffee-house. The Montreal paper contains the
following answer of Lord Gosford to the Address of the
Council :
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative. Coun-
cil—l return you my thanks for this address. I trust that the
measures which his Majesty has commanded me to adopt ma):
lead to the most successful results—that dissensions may cease
—and goodwill and harmony be restored. To the principles
and sentiments which I announced at the opening of this ses-
sion I shall firmly adhere ; persuaded that by so doing I shall
best discharge the duties which his Majesty has been pleased
yo confide to me, and promote the general interests of this
great community."
" Castle of St. Louis, Nov. 11."
The Quebec Papers say :—" Let it be remembered of the
official letter of Mr. Roebuck to the Speaker of the House of
Assembly—we ask can Lord Gosford put his hand upon his
heart, and say he acts constitutionally, when he agrees to I
vote of money to such a man inculcating such destructive senti-
ments ? Is the British Constitution already become a nullity?
Or are his Lordship's professions a mockery ? In fine, sce
would ask is treason to the State to be paid for and rewarded
by the State ? But, perhaps, we wrong Lord Gosford—he,
doubtless, received his orders from the Ministry."
The navigation continues quite open—the number of vessels
I in port arc about 30, and will be ready for sea in about a week.

STEAM COMMUNICATION TO INDIA.—It ly
said that the Government of Calcutta has written to Bony
bay, urging the Government of that Presidency to adopt
all practicable means to keep up the communication 1)0-
twcen that place and Suez.—East India Magazine.
KIDNAPPING.—Tuesday evening, between eight
and nine o'clock, as a respectable woman, named Elizabeth
Cooke, was proceeding through William-street, she op'
served a female proceeding close to her at a hurried pot'
carrying something of considerable bulk tightly wrapped eV
in her apron. Presently, as the woman passed her, 1110;,
Cooke heard a child scream, and in a smothered tone eo
oat " Bring me to my mother." This proceeding as if free',
the burden in the apron, naturally excited suspicion, an
she accordingly followed the party into a gateway in the
neighbourhood, where, on inquiry, she ascertained that Pt
child was in the apron, the bearer of which said it was Mir
own. This not being credited, an alarm was given, and
two men who happened to be passing at the time interfered'
and rescued the child, which proved to be a girl, aged
about six years, and who, immediately on being liberatd:
flew off screaming, and with extraordinary quickness, till t
I
reached 9, Little Grafton-street, where its parents (Per'
sons of the name of Byrton), lodged. It appeared that tlics
little prisoner had been sent on a message, when she vi 3
orcibly picked up in Coppinger's,row, by the wretch IN°
horn she was taken, and whose object it seemed was to
rip her.—Dublin Freonan.
TAKING THE VEIL.--On Sunday last the recejr
tion of a young lady (Miss Lee) .to the 'Presentation C4l.
vent of Kildare took place in the new and splendid pa l;
chapel to which the convent is attached. At 11 o'cloc
the crowds began to assemble under the influence of tlie
solemn peals of the fine bell (beyond 7 cwt.), until thet
chapel, 120 feet by 40, was densely crowded. An elegavj
assemblage filled the gallery, and the enclosed space arou°4
the sanctuary. At the close of the mass the young 151'4'4
was conducted by the Mother Superioress and her assistan't;
to the foot of the altar, and there interrogated. As soeo
as the religious resumed their seats, the officiant took th,
mass-book, and read the epistle of the mass of the ti°o.'
The grand high altar, its lights and decorations ; ,
?
preacher, his person and vehemence ; twenty-four little V),
in the exact costume of the little boys in St. Peter's
Rome, seated under bim on the lower steps of the altar ;
the two elegant side altars, their lights and ornaments ; tll
ecclesiastics scattered through the sanctuary, the 0,
dimly discovered through their' grate in the choir ; the 'ne;
teresting appearance of the young lady, made good the rt.
mark of the eloquent preacher, that " no court can s:
pass that which the Catholic Church holds on the occasleo
of her solemnities." After the discourse, the ceremonYite
resumed ; the young lady put off her dress, and put on tv,e
habit of the order, after which the music began, while te,
celebrant, officers, and attendants were retiring ; and WI,/
short time the immense crowd dispersed in a most order,',
and re-collected manner. We were then invited to visit tisPi,/
convent, and partook of some refreshment. Unquestionnt
there is not in Ireland so admirable a situation. The sli's
from the upper walk affords a prospect, of at least 70 totoo
in extent, of a beautiful, varied, and fertile country the
can hardly call it an enclosure. The school-room for
poor children is the finest we have seen. On the vc.T,teio.
we believe the Presentation Convent at Kildare, anu ,a 1
advantages, are not sufficiently known.—Freeniails.l6llllo.
SLEEP WALKING.—A singular instance of seatit
narabuliso occurred at Whitby, not long ago. A sel'op
to Mr. Kirby, who resides in the outskirts of the tecier
arose from her bed about two o clock in the morning, thattl
the impression that her sister had called to tell her _to
their brother, a sailor, had arrived, and she was to
go,
her father's to see him. Having dressed herself
e eta'
locked the doers, and winding her way through the str',.ect,
crossed the bridge, and went up a yard in Church-st'd,
to her father's house. She called up her friends, 130
when let into the house, seated herself on a chair. ,
who can describe the feelings of her relatives on porcei:riiii,i
as soon as a light was procured, that she was all the
fast asleep. Her dress is said to have been imperfectog
grotesquely arranged, and her countenance very apPtt
( The' distance from Mr. Kirby's to filer father's house
be about a quarter of a mile.--Doncaster Gazette.
