PatroI.-lt is very evident that the
interest Of our town would be subserv-
ed by the organization of an efficient
patrol. Negroes should not be allowed
TO swarm through the streets at night.
Petty thefls are becoming too common.
Various instances Of small thieving have
come TO our notice, and from the bold
ness with which the thing is done, we
may infer that the art is progressive,
and unless some efforts are made to
check its advancement, we may expect
TO see it flourish TO perfection ere long
We do not aIIude particularly TO the
losses we have sustained, although some
might be disposed to grumbe at the
prolonged absence Of an are, razor

this matter devoIves upon some one,

DEAR SIR:-The Legislature have
got under full head way at work, and
appear determined to dispose of all The
various important measures before them
with the utmost possible dispatch. But
unfortunately for the country, there are
some members Of both houses who wish
to distinguish themselves by lengthy
speeches upon every question that
comes up, and will support no measure
unless it suits their views in all its de-
tails, or unless it is some measure in
which their immediate constituents are
interested, and unfortunately for them
selves they are fast loosing their infu-
ence by such course.

the Treasury when the Melborne Adj

in constant communication with Lord

The opinion gains ground that no dis
solution will take place until Lord John
finds obstruction to his measures IN the
Commons, in which case an immediate
dissolution will follow.

morrow, as we announced yester lay.
We have little addition to make to.
