DEAR SIR -
Since last addressed you relative to the changes
in our provincial government, but little of interest to
your readers has transpired. Some very curious
changes have taken place, which are worth record
ing, as evidence of the railty of human nature, and
the power of gold in dspeliing political principles,
which one Gudging from the language of their
possessors,)l would suppose were immutable as the
DEGREES OF fate, but experience teaches us the un-
certainty OF all professions, and inclnes us to be
suspicious of all. resolution was proposed to the
House OF Assembly by Mr.. Dunscomb, the member
for Beauharnols, commendatory of the changes
lately made in the ministry, and expressing conf.
dence in the present junction of parties which are
as dissimiar as wings and locos. The source from
which it emanated was unexpected, and astonished
many of both parties the member who proposed it
had hitherto been staunch tory, eschewing every
thing radical, and supporting the late Sydenham ad
minstration to the utmost of his ability The time
chosen Tor Its proposition was also to be wondered
at. A vote OF confidence expressed in ministry
who had not entered upon their duties. This would
appear rather premature, more especially as MIR.
Dunscombe had always strenuously opposed several
ofthe individuals composing that ministry
Mr. Dunscombe's brother had just received an
appointment within the gift of governmental has
since been revoked The measure provoked much
personal abuse and discussion. 1t was opposed by
many of the members on account of this implied
confidence, amended materially, and passed the
House by a sweeping majority.
The debates on the subject were very interesting
to one conversant with the politics of the country
many OF the members were unaccustomed TO
make conclliatory speeches, and room was there
fore given Tor recrimlnation on the part OF those
who withstoOd the tide.
The next change to be recorded is the appoint
ment OF L. q. Aylwln, to be SOLICITOR General for
Canada East, vacant since the elevation OF the
Hon. G. ID Day, to the Bench. Mr.. Aylwn has
long been the most inveterate opponent of Mr..
Hincks, the Inspector General, who forms one Of
the Cabinet now In power, and has abused HIM In
the strongest language his imagination could sug-
gest, when the address of His Excellency was In
progress of discussion. He now dimes, walks and
talks with him Familiarity. Mr.. Small, very
worthy and consistent man, has received the APP
continent of Solicltor-General for Canada West.
Mr. Gwlnard, mentioned In my last cemmunica-
tion has refused the office of Inspector of Crown
ger has been sent to persuade him OF It's benefits.
Aquestion has arisen, which is to be brought be-
fore the house to-day, relative to the seat of gov
eminent; despatch has been received from the
home government relative TO the subject, and much
anxiety is shown by the Kingstonians, fearing as
they do, the loss OF that which has served to build
up their town. IL is not yet known, in what man
it is to be decided, whether by the vote of the
house, peremptorily by the crown; if lett to the
vote OF the house, it will most assuredy leave
Kingston. The inhabitants OF Kingston are in the
yearly receipt OF about $l30,0OO from the mem
bers of the house, yet, they make but little effort to
crafty or please them; wholesale system OF impo.
sition is carried on by many who lose sight of the
advantages VIII en- might accrue to them, were i
permanent. There are public amusements, ant
but few private entertainments as to the town it
SELF it boasts OF no attraction, except its locality.
measure is also TO be brought before the house
which has received Els Excelency's sanction, pre-
posing duty on American produce, which now en-
tiers duty free. This is found to be absolutely ne
cessary for the protection of the agricultural int
rests of the Province, particularly the eastern town
ships, who are compelled to pay heavy duties on
their exports to the United States
