very salutary aud beneficial 70 those parts

in revenge despatched the bills to incorpo.

TO appoint Provincial agent in England
and TO impose money qualification on the
magistrates appointed by the Governor,
and 'aso the bill TO sub-divide the Province
into new cousties, SO as to give more fair

ceIlency the Lieutenant Governor, who
prorogued this session on the 22nd day OF
March, when he gave the Royal sanction
to ihirty-six bills, without reserving any
for His Maiesty's sanction.
On the 10th OF September, Lord Dal-
housie returned from England 10 renew

appeared 10 be very much grieved at the
departure Of the Lieutenant Governor,
who had so well succeeded in putting an
end TO the spirit Of animesity which had
prSviously existed between the two branch
es OF the Legislature. On the 10Th, Sir
Francis Burton received deputation from
the inhabitants OF Montreal, who came to
pay him these acknowledgements which he
SO richly deserved for his wise and prudent
administration, and their lively regret at
