GUS question had been called. Mr.. White oil ny.
Gate SpeakerD took an appeal, but the chair was
sustained by party vote. The original resolution
was then adopted thus adding one.fifth to the
cost of printing and then the locotOcos elected
Blair and Kyes printers; men who tor twelve
years reaped the spells under Jackson aud Van
Buren,, and became immensely rich. This is the

From Canada by last nights Western mail
we received Kingston dates of Thursday. They
contain Mr. Budwin's explanation for himself and
colleagues; the substance of that explanation fur
nished by MIR. Lefontaine to The Governor, and the
Governors reply. From the latter, we make the
following extracts:
On Friday, MIR Lefontnine aud Mr.. Baldwin
came to the Government House, and alter some
other matters of business, and some preliminary
remarks 10 The cause Of their proceedings, de-
manded of the Governor General that he should
agree TO make no appointment, and no offer of an
appointment, without previously taking the ad.
vice Uf the Council that the lists OF candidates
should in every instance be laid before the Coun-
Gil that they should recommend any others at
discretion, aud that the SDvernW General, in de-
ciding after taking their advice, should not make
an appointment pre- judicial 10 their influence. In
other words, that The patronage OF the Crown
shoul ID be surrendered to the Council, for the pur-
chase OF Parliamentary support for, if the de-
maud did not mean .laf, il meant nothing rs il
cannot be imagined that the mere form OF taking
advice, without regarding il, was the process con
templated.
The Governor General declared that he would
not make any such stipulation, and could not de-
grade The character OF his office nor violate his
duty by such q surrender of The prerogaliye ofthe
Crown.
This demand was based on The construction pu
on the meaning Of Irresponsible Government"
The Kingston Chronicle says: "As yet it i
understood that no Ministry has been formed
nor is it likely that with The present House o
Assembly any ministry can be formed that will
command n working minority. Under these cir
cunstnnces, it is not impossible that dissolution
of Parliament may be at hand.-.4lbany Adv.
