CANADA

The news from this part of the world by the last mail is
not of very great importance. A committee has been ap-
pointed in the House of Assembly to equalize the currency.
The committee which had been named to decide upon the
subject of reporting the debates, handed in a report in favour
of the Assembly subscribing for five hundred copies of the
" Mirror of Parliament." It was also stated by the com-
mittee, that they had written to the proprietors of the French
journals in Canada, to know upon what terms they would
engage to publish, in the French language, the parliamentary
debates as they appear in the " Mirror of Parliament."
The consideration of this report was postponed till a future
day.

A great discussion has taken place in relation to the Lower
Canada elections. By some of the members it was contended
that the law of Lower Canada, commencing Ist May, 1836,
had not expired, in consequence of there having been no
regular session in law since that period ; for, although the
house bad met twice, and been as many times prorogued,
still, as no bills which had passed had received the royal
assent, there had therefore been no session, even though the
parliament had been called together : by others it was con-
tended that, whenever the members had met in parliament,
there had been a session.

The government plan of banking and currency is nearly
matured.

The Speaker has given his first parliamentary dinner.
A number of citizens of Quebec, mostly of French origin,
have put in circulation a petition to the Provincial Legisla-
ture, praying the house to intercede with the Queen for a full
pardon to all persons implicated in the " troubles " of 1837-
1838.

The 43d regiment has arrived at Toronto.
Both provinces are unusually healthy. The governor-ge-
neral has quite recovered.
