BY the by it strikes that it would be nothing more
than right and proper, if the Assembly should allow the
members of the Company some compensation for the
extra sacrifice of their time in awaiting the movements
ofthe Assembly. The Company was under arms during
three days. and think hey have fair claim for two
days compensation. We aware that they do NOT
advance such claim, but think that the Assembly
ought TO make them allowance in some shape. or no,

maory speeches in Congress which have been publish

tween the two countries this question has, least for
the present, happily passed away. 1t will be observed
that Mr.. Butler, Secretary Lord Durham takes the
ground but without detailing facts, that England

appear TO be satisfied that negotiation and mutual con-

quanimy, the measure being looked upon as merely
precautionary; and as such, fully justified by the cir
