Secretary demonstrates, the expenditures
amounted 10 Sl45, 7o2, 1877 O--considerably
more than half of the amount expended by
all his predecessors, in five times the same
number of years. And this ia the frugal,

Van Buren, has improved on the example
of his llustrious predecessor. The first
year Of his administration costs S13, 554 ,34l

FROM ESGLAND.-The packet ship
Westminster arrived at N. York on Sun
day from Portsmouth, which place she left
on the 18th u..
In the House of Lords on the 9Th ult.
Lord Brougham called the attention Of the
Colonial Secretary to the proclamation OF
martial law in the province Of Lower Ca
ma IA; observing, with great energy, that
such a proclamation in time of peace in
England would b, illegal; he presumed
that ia Canada II was toe same--it ought
to be so. He wished to know by whose
authority proclamation had been made,
because, without an act Of Parliament, n
bill of indemnity would be required. But
the legislature in Canada had heen abolish,
ed. No b;lI Of indemnity, therefore, could
be obtained in that country; and It appear.
ed to him to be very rice point whether
or not bill Of indemnity could be proposed
IN the British Parliament.
Lord Gosford said he had ordered the
proclamation by the advice Of the legal
authorities Of the province. That the step
had not been taken hastily, but after delIb
crate consultation, and 1t had only been
proclaimed within the district of Montreal,
the other districts being tranquil.
Lord Broughnm was satisfied with hav
! ing called the attention of Government to
the question. After few further re.
mh'ks the conversation dropped.
The same subject was INTRODUCED to the
| House OF Commons on the same day by
Mr.. l. adler who was also nlbplDon that a
bin OF indenniry should be- in' reduced -
Alter some remarks from Lord JQhn Rus
sell and SIR Geo, Grey that IA action in
the shape of an indemnity act, was al
present deemed necessary; bu, if it were,
ministers would introduce it; the subject
dropped.

SIR Francis HEAD.--This gentleman
when Lit. Governor OF Upper Canada in
dulged in some very harsh structures on the
people and institutions Of the U, S. We
are happy to learn tina, he has in some
measure changed his opinions. AT pub
lie dinner lately given him in London, he
said;
"He knew how deeply they all felt the
Importance of preserving amlcable relatlons
with America, and how anxious they all
were that no improper conduct on the part
Of the United States, should in any way
induce them to Come into contllc; w''a that
power. (Hear.) 1t was therefore with
the utmost satisfaction he had to state,
that between the Canadas and the United
States, feelings of natural alliance subsst-
ed as between people living under the same
climate descendants of the same ancestors,
and having the same difficulties to contend
with. There was no disposition on the
part of Upper Canada in any way to inter
fere with the Government of the United
States; indeed, the Assembly of the pro-
vince had proposed that the inhabitants OF
the United States should be received in
Upper Canada as if they were British
subjects"

Globe. lie said it was no excuse that this
Clerk had employed a substitute. Such
a practice was expressly condemned by the
relrenchmcnt and reforming party, who
told the country, that, to allow this, re-
cognized in on incumbent, "such a sort of
property in The office, as TO enable him 10
farm out its duties, and 10 receive q part Of
It's revenues for doing nothing" And yet
he said, the Government took one Of Us
Clerks, and placed him in the service Of It's
Official organ. J, was well understood that
this Clerk was to resume his Office again
when the session Of Congress was over. lie
cid not think the people were prepared to
approve this kind of reform. MIR Bond SAID
he would add this to other facts which he
had submitted to the country and he called
upon The friends Of the Administration here
TO deny TO explain them, if they could.

COSGR ESS.

The two houses OF Congress adjourned on Mon.

question upon which they were enabled 10 act, but
leaving unfinished at least one half the business
which had been prepared for their considerations
II was with the greatest difficulty that quorum
could be formed after Saturday evening last, aliho'
the officers Of the House did every Thing in their
power TO prevent the members from leaving. On
Sunday morning the Sergeant at Arms was de-
spatched TO the Rail Road Depo, in search oil alb.
senees, where large number of the members
we're found snugy slowed away in the Baltimore
cars, quietly awaiting their departure. The officer
made known his errau1, aud threatened TO stop the
tram: but the resolute members refused TO move,
and as it was thought advisable TO interrupt the
| mail, the disappointed Sergeant went back to The
| CAPITOL and probably returned upon his writ, not
to be had' The fact is, aborious session Of seven
months has well nigh exhausted both the mental aud
phy steal energies of its members, and it is not to
be wondered that they should have felt disposed to
anticipate the day Of adjournment. We believe
that their dispersion will be hailed with quite as
much Joy by the people themselves, for il is very
generally admitted that the disposition which ha,
been so constantly evinced, TO egislaie upon mat.

We publish to day the proceedings OF
the Wing Convention at Cambridge. The
meeting is said to have been one Of the
largest ever assembled in the district on q
similar occasion, and we learn from those
who attended, thu. it's deliberations were
conducted with great unanimity and good
feeling. There was to be sure some diver.

preferences, but these differences were at
once merged in the decisive expression OF
the majority. Mr.. Briggs friends, we
learn very honorably came forward with on
expression Of their concurrence, and pledg
ing their cordial support Of the nomination.
Thus is the question of candidate put at
rest, and the wings of this district have
only to rally in their strength to secure the
reelection of one of the most experienced
and faithful representatives we have ever
bad in Congress. IT'S such men we want
