After an explanation from Mr.. Hambn and few
words from Mr. Collins, the hour of adjournment had ar
rived
The NATIvEs.-We regret to perceive any APP
pearances of disorganization in the new party.
There is some fear that the denunciation of some
of the appointments, and the dissensiens thus en-
gendered, may prevent the progress OF reform
We hope, however, that the good sense OF the
party will silence the grumblers. A great clamor
has been raised, too, about the closure OF the grog
shops on Sundays. No doubt this will offend
great many, but we need hardly say that the moral
and intelligent portion of the community approve
of it. We trust, once Tor all, that the new Com
mon Council will Immediately go to work and
fulfil their pledges to give us reform.
