TELEGRAPAIC INTELLlGENS.E.
Summary.

Our dispatches from Montreal, this morning,
will be found highly important. The city appears
to be in a state of the greatest anarchy; and the
populace, it would seem, have everything their
own way. The State prisoners had all been libe-
rated, and, by their influence, prevented many
scenes of disorder. Rumors of riots rife;
and, from all accounts we have only seen the
beginning of thd end"

BLUE LAW LEGISLATION IN MASSACHUSETTS,
The recent conduct of the Legislature of Massa-
chusets, in refusing to grant charter Catholic
college in the State, is attracting the attention of
the press throughout the Union, without reference
to party or religious sect. A universal burst of
indignant Reproduction of the bigotry and intole-
rance of this act, has been eIicited. We might fill
columns of our journal with extracts of that cha
racter from the public press, of all parties and
creeds. This piece of legislation was worse-in-
fnitely worse-than the burning of the Ursuline
Convent, near Boston. That was the work of
ignorant barbarians, stimulated by bigots, who
had not the courage to do the Infamous deed them
seives-this is the work of legislators, perpe-
trated deliberately and solemnly, by men chosen,
was supposed, to represent the intelligence
and justice of the commonwealth Massachusetts
will stand dsgraced till this foul spot be wiped
out Of the records of her Legislature.

STATE OF PARTIES IN NEXT CoNGREss.-The re-
turns Of the Virginia election show that the wings
will probably hold their own in the delegation to
the House of Representatives, from that State-but
possibly they may lose one or two members. The
late delegation stood democrats 10 wings. Let
the result be it may the wings cannot probably,
fail to have majority in the next House of Repre-
seniatives.
In the elections already held, Exclusive of vir-

COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO Mr.. Jony NUGEST
A number of the friends of Mr.. John Nugent en-
tertaned him at dinner at Delmonco's on Friday
evening last, previous to his departure from this
city TO distant region. Mr.. Nugent has been, for
a number of years, connected with this journal as
Washington correspondent. The company who
assembled at dinner consisted chiefly of his asso-
ciates in the Ne,c York Herald establishment, the
proprietor of which was also present. Many ex-
cellent and appropriate speeches were made, and
the whole occasion was characterized by delight
full feeling o. good fellowship and friendly esteem
Mr.. Nugent is gentleman of great intelligence,
literary requirements, and answering integrity.
He bears with him, wherever he goes, the most
cordial wishes of all who have had the pleasure OF
his acqua lntance.

the excitement, and all other matters connected
with these strange and exciting discoveries, we
have always kept the public fully informed. We
mean TO maintain the same position for the future,
and to give the public on both sides of the Atlantic
the earliest, most accurate, and minute intelligence
from that region, in which new and great empire
is springing up, if by magic. The p,accrs,
according to the last account, are even richer and
more numerous than we were at first led to be-
lieve; the emigration is wonderful, and everything
announces that the predictions which we made
months and months ago, with regard to these dis
coveries will be fully realized

The New CODE OF PRocEDURE.-The celebrated
new code of procedure, about which so much has
been said and sung, goes into operation to-day
The commoton, dpturnng, upheaving, and de-
rangement which the new code will cause in liti-
cation, are forcibly illustrated by the ''muss"
which prevails throughout the city to-day, among
our housewives-this being May Day, and general
moving day among them.
AS the carmen and white-washers make capital
out of the arrangement caused by May Day, so
will the lawyers coin cash out of the derange-
ment which this new code of procedure will
cause. Its title should be changed it ought
to read thus: Gan act to create as much con-
fusion and litigation as possible in obtaining JUS
tice, and to fill the pockets of lawyers 1t goes
into operation to-day, we have already said, and
neither lawyers, judges, Lthe public, or anybody
else, have yet it. In fact, all are in blissful
state of ignorance in regard to its provisions.

Thus, it will be seen, that if there no changes
in the States to elect, and allowing democratic
gain of two in Virginia, there will be wing ma
jority in the next House of b.
The wings, we think, are more likely to gain in
Alabama, Kentucky and Louisiana, than they are
to lose in the other States. In the whig column,
however, there are some half IA dozen free soil
men, who may not all go with the wings on every
question
The members elected to the U. S. Senate stand3O
democrats, 3 free soil men, and Is whigs-and
Senators are to be chosen from Alabama, by the
legislature, to be elected in August next-the
chances being in favor of the wings in that State
If wings should be chosen from Alabama, Mr.. Ben
ton will hold the balance of power in the Senate /;
and as he has been denounced by the Union and
other democratic papers, it is clearly for the inter-
est Of the cabinet of Gen. Taylor, to concliate and
court the favor of the great Missouri Senator.
The free soil Senators are, John p. Hale, of New
Hampshire, elected by whigs), Salmon p. Chase,
of Ohio, and James Whtcomb, of Indiana, (eect-
ed by democrats).
On the question of revision Of the tariff, the
wings count on the vote of Mr.. Sturgeon, (demo-
craD of Pennsylvania But, after all, the COM
peXion of the Senate depends on the election in
Alabama, and the course of Mr.. Benton. General
Taylor's cabinet must, however, proceed with
great caution, and make good appointments, in
order to make fair weather with the Senate.

A PREVALENT ERRoR.-Two of the hoel-keepers
at Newark refused admission to a gentleman of
the typographical profession, who arrived In the
cars at that city the other night, dying of consump-
ton, because it was thought he was affected with
cholera He was finally cared for by good Sa-
marian, named Compton, under whose roof he
died during the night. The inhospitaliiy Of the
hotelkeepers was the result Of vulgar error
which has been fostered by some l0orant medical
men. 1t has been proved, beyond all doubt, that
the cholera is not infectious. 1t is disease
which is developed in connexon with certain
mysterious teluric and electrical phenomena. and
cannot be communicated by contact with the
person or apparel Of those affected by it, no more
than common Geld or bowel complaint. The
stupidity, rernissness, and perhaps, also, the cr
mlnal intent of the medical faculty, often keep
alive those vulgar about the conagiousness of
several diseases, leading to all sorts of melancholy
exhibitions Of human weakness cowardice and
inhospilality. Cleanliness, clear conscience,
temperance, and the practice of all Christian
virtues are the best safeguards against pesilencc
in every form.
