Lord Elgin's address at the opening of the
Canadian Parliament appears in the Northern
papers. He says that some changes in the con-
stitution Of the Legislative Council seem to be
imperatiyely required; that the final and con-
elusive adjustment of the Clergy Reserves should
take place without delay; that there are ques-
tions affecting properties held under the seign-
orial Tenure which cannot be kept in suspense
without detriment to the interests both Of the
seignors and Consitaires that the Municipal
Institutions of Lower Canada should be assimi-
lated to those of Upper Canada; and recon-
mends a reduction of the Tariff, in consequence
of the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States.
