SECOND DESPATCH.
MONTREAL. Thursday, April 26,

MoNTREAL,s thursday, April 70,
: o'clock, P. NJ.
Affairs have reached crisis sooner than
was anticipated in this city.
At late hour yesterday afternoon, the Gov
ernor General went down to the Legislative
Council, and sanctioned forty-eight bills, a.
nongst which was sneaked that of the Re-
publican losses.
Upon this being made known to the mob
outside, the Governor, on entering his car
rage, was peited with rotten eggs, dirt, &C.,
amidst a shower of which the Vice-Royal
Cortege drove off. An egg struck his Excel
lency in the face.
In few hours, the excitement in the city
became uncomfortable; and, by 7 o'clock
printed notices of mass meeting to be imme-
diately held in the Champ de Mars, were is
sued. Persons were commissioned to alarm
the people by driving through the streets in
calashes with large bills.
The fire bells were also brought into exc
cution.
At 8 o'clock, crowd Of 1000 persons or
more assembled, and, after strong resolutions
had been passed, the cry was raised, s. TO the
Parliament Buildings 20 The enraged multi
tude Immediately rushed at run through the
streets, and, by 9 o'clock, the first stone was
thrown through window into the midst of
the Legislative Assembly-at the time in full
session.
A constant shower was kept up into the
windows till everything was smashed.
In the mean time, the members assembled
in the lobby.
A band of Is of the leaders Of the mob
rushed into the Chambers, and one, having
placed himself in the Speakers Chair, an
nounced, ''GentLenen, the French Parliament
is dissolved"
They then bolted with the mace to present
il to Sir Allan McNab, at Donnegana's Hotel
The cry of fire was now raised. and it was
soon found that the Parliament Houses were
IN flames in hundred places.
The fire spread with great rapidly, and, in
half an hour the buildings Were one sheet ct
fame.
The mob had now augmented to 1000, and
the burning buildings were surveyed with the
most stoical indifference on the part of the
spectators.
At first, the firemen refused to play, and on
ly attempted to save the buildings close by.
Everything has been lost,-all the archives
and records of the Colonies for several hun
dred years. Not 500 worth of property has
been saved.
The military were called out, and were re-
ceiyed with loud cheers on the part of the
mob.
No fresh disturbances, up to the present,
have taken place.
The population, of all classes and creeds.
have determined to stand By the acts of the past
night.

iEnPEKAxcE LEcTuREs.-Our citizens had
tho pleasure of listening to the lectures of Gen.
RitrY, last week, and we presume that all
wbre highly delighted with the entertainments.
We are of the opinion that no liquor dealerwho
listened to the General could have left with
clsar conscience; and If, after listening to such
a acture they continue 20 ''put the cup to their
neighbors lips there is nothing shor:of the
iu1t retribution Of heaven, that will effect them.
We have, within few days witnessed some
ofthe effects of alcohol. A few evenings
sit;ce, a man, who. when sober, might be con-
sidered a peaceable and respectable citizen.
preached temperance lecture that one would
suppose must have gone home to the hearts of
his destrovers. With a brain heated with the
fumes of liquor, and his tongue thick with the
accursed poison, he was Keeling about and
pouring forth the most obscene and protane
insprecatiens upon all about him. His Qulx-
ote romance led him to commence waf of ex-
termination upon the glass in certain win
dow, in which we would suppose, from the
| bloody appearance, his own fists received the
greatest injury. If the man that sells to such a
| peSson the article which is the cause of such
difgraceful scenes, for other purpose than
to pet from him his hard earned money, is not
accountable for the conduct Of the inebriate,
TO certain extent, then we can see no use for
law.
