her last nights issue; but that, on . second
vote, the majority decided In favor of Quebec,
as tie telegraph duly informs us. The Eastern
members doubtless derived strength from the
bias Of the Executive and the military autho-
rites in favor Of Quebec. However the ques-
ton is settled, 1t is we'll settled; the idea Of
an itinerant government was absurd, costly
and ridiculous. The last we heard of the Ca
madam Parliament was that when the news Of
the birth of the King of Algeria reached them,
champagne was brought into the House of As
sembly and the English members sang "God
Save the Queen" and the French, "Partant
pour la Syrie," the Speaker leading off with
his bass, alternately in the two languages;
which must have been very lively and
unique scene to witness However, drunk or
sober. singing or talking, these gentlemen had
better be fixtures; SO we may congratulate the
Province on the late decision.
