" Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,
" Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
"There being no longer any prospect of a good result from
the message which, by the commands of our most gracious
sovereign, I communicated a few days ago to the House of
Assembly, 1 hasten to put an end to this session, and to enable
you to retumn to your homes.
" The object of convoking the present parliament was to
make a renewed effort on the part of his Majesty to restore
some interval of repose to his Canadian people. I lament,
however, that instead of awaiting the developement of those
measures which are in preparation, but which, to be effectual,
must be matured with time and attention, a more hasty decision
continues to be insisted upon, and the province is even threaten-
ed with the abandonment, by one branch of the legislature, of
the duties confided to it by the constitution. Without
dwelling on this inauspicious project, I will merely observe
that, if it be persisted in, the number of temporary acts in
Lower Canada, and the importance of some which ate, not long
hence, to expire, must give peculiar effect in this province to a
decision which, in no country endowed with powers of legisla-
tion, could be otherwise than a severe privation and a source of
public suffering.
" Gentlemen, in taking leave of you, I will only express the
hope I am unwilling to forego, that however the political em-
barrassments of the country may appear to multiply around us,
the inherent elements of prosperity and contentment which it
contains may triumph ouer all adventitious causes of difficulty.
" Castle of St. Louis, Quebec, Oct. 4, 1836."
Lt addition to this, however, an American paper of the 10th
nit. states, confidently, that the Governor-in-Chief has abso-
lutely dissolved the House of Assembly in anger. If so, his
lordship's temporising has brought things to a pretty pass in
Lower Canada.

The following is a comparative statement of arrivals, &c., at
:he port of Quebec, to the 29th Sept., 1835 and 1836:—

The harvest had not turned out so favourably as was ant id.
pated, and the droughts during the early part of the summer
had greatly limited the supply of lumber at the out-ports. Mo-
ney continued in full deruatul, and the Exchange on London
ruled at 1(1 per cent. ' Sovereigns continued to be worth
21s. 3d. to 9.1.. 4d. each. Montreal Bank Shares are 29 per
cent..prem , and the other banks are 10 per cent.
Guiana Chronicles to Gth of September have been received
here to-day ; their contents are not important, but we learn
from the mercantile letters that the commercial interests of the
c.lony were much satisfied with the promptness of the governor
for relieving ships on the arrival from the delay and expense
attendant upon the supervision of an officer of health.
