There little with reference to the proceedings OF tho
Legislature to communicate since last wrote, as the
tive houses adjourned Thursday till this after
for the purpose Of viewing the wslsnd Canal,
which connects the Erie and Ontario lakes, and which
has recently been enlarged and improved The notice
Of this adjournment, which thought would have
passed unanimously, was seized upon by the opposi-
ton, who leave opportunity untried to annoy II
they cannot obstruct efectually the ministry; and
who denounced the proposed excursion as waste OF
public time and money and as being got up for q
political purpose; and Col Prince In his usual foil
citous strain held the whole affair up to rdicue The
question of adjournment however, carried with
cut division and the following morning the party
started for Port Dalhouse, where the canal enters
Lake Ontario.
Previous TO adjourning Mr.. Cameron, n late men,

the clergy question IL appears to me that the
agitation which 1t is attempted to get up on this
subject originates entirely with the presbyterian
portion OF the communuy who not satisfied with
the utmost liberation and the enjoyment of eve
ry civil aud religious right, cannot bear that the
lands which are attached TO the rectories; aud
to which, Whatever may have been the bad taste
of est abshug them when it done, the Church OF
England is NJ much entitled rs any individual is to

original grant from he sovereign | do not believe
hower that the bill will pass the House aud Legsa-
tive Councils nor will it probably receive the royal
o, Thursday. Sir Allan McNsb introduced his bill,
rather moved for leave to introduce it, to amend the
Rebellion Losses hui of last session He made very
short explanatory speech evidently reserving himself
till the clos. OF the debate which he enormously sup
posed would take place. As the bill short one
he read IT, and certainly such another never in
troduced by lawyer before IL seems that the Gov
erpor-Gtperal. in replying to an address from the
county Of Hastings some time since had said that 1t
was never INTENDED to remun-rsie persons who had
engaged IN actual rebellion, or whose pro-
rations OF war; but only where such destruction
had been occasioned by the unauthorized acts
of others And this speech which emsnating as 1t
did nom the highrt source should satisfy every mind,
Sir Allen had vsmped into bill the effect OF the dis
cusson of which although do not attribute to him any
such motive might have been unnecessarily to agi-
tate the country upon subject which ought for ever
