PARLIAMENT OF LOWER CANADA.

The Legislative Council have sent an answer to
the Message of the Assembly relating to the Hon.
John Richardson. The Council state, that they are
willing to inquire into the subject matter of the said
Message and do right therein, after the Legisla-
tive Council shall have received reparation from the
Assembly for the actual breach of privilege commit.
ted by their Address to the Governor praying the
removal of the Hon. John Richardson.

On the 7th inst. a Bill to provide for the better ir•
spection of pot and pearl ashes, passed the Assembl ;
also a Bill to continue, for a limited time, the Act to
regulate the trade with the United States, by land cr
inland navigation.

While the British Ministers are contending for every
useless office and sinecure, with as much pertinacity
as if the safety of the State depended on their pre-
servation; and while a British Parliament is in tco
many instances supporting the Ministers, the C.,rtes
of Spain are setting a noble example of patriotism
and self-denial. In the Sitting of this Assembly cn
the 4th instant, it was proposed and adopted, th3t
the Members should relinquish one-fourth of their a:-
lowances ; and this was followed by one of the Deputes
voluntarily relinquishing a debt due to him from the
State. Here, as one of the Members observed, Re-
form was beginning at the right place, namely, among
themselves; and yet the public burdens, the public
debt, and the public distress in Spain, are mere no-
things compared with this country. We particularly
recommend this conduct of the Spanish Cortes to the
British Ministry, and the Members of both Houses
of Parliament, and say unto them, " Go and do ye
likewise."

Yesterday, the Duke of YORE held a Levee, as

The Freeman's Journal of Monday states that 6,000
Police are to be raised immediately. The names
of the ruffians who committed the outrage on the
women of the Rise Brigade, who have been appre-
hended, are Pierce Nagle, Timothy Connor, and Pa-

A Kerry Paper states that " a number of persons
residing in the mountainous district between this ba-
rony and that of Clanmaurice were visited by insur-
gents, and sworn to repair an old road, long since
suffered to go to ruin, running through the moun-
tains of Glashoreegh, and in the direction of the
county of Limerick. This task was I for the
avowed purpose of facilitating the march of
Rock's army ; and several hundreds of persons have
obeyed the mandate, and are working on the road:'
