satisfaction Expressed by the Public.
TORONTO, December 4. = On IL becoming
known IN Toronto that the Fenian pri.
soners we're respted until the 18th OF
March. the newspaper offices were besieged by
parties anx Gus to hear further inform alton.
Extras we're at once got out, and the evening
apers published a second edition. The respite
has quite taken the pubic by surprise.
Although it was thought by many that the SEN
tences would not be carried out, the prevalent
impression was that some OF them would be
hanged; but in this anxious expectation they
are disappointed, as the action OF the Govern
ment clearly shows that such is not their in
tention.
The order was made at a meeting of the Caoi-
net Council that was held at Montreal, and the
official letter containing the decision will be
received by the Sheriff tomorrow. To judge
from what one hears in the streets, the public
are not satisfied with the decision, some saying
that the Canadian Government are afraid to
carry the judgments into execution, while
others are OF opinion that the steps arrived at
are taken with precautionary view, so that
in case of another raid the prisoners will he
held as hostages and the sentences carried out.

a"The Debt Question" I; d, :.

This subject continues to attract the atten,
ticn of the people. Generally 1t has been
considered ina mild and forbearing manner,
both to debtor and creditor, MO like the
ring of the following preamble aud resolutions
adopted at Yorkyille,on Saleday last: 4 3 Z,
=" Whereas, since tho Stay La&shas bccn
set asido.by the Court Of Errors, it is essential.
ly necessary that some mcusuro should be
adopted for the protection of the citizens,
against tho enforced collection Of debts, which
debts many OF our best aud most patriotic cit
izens arc unable to meet, resulting from causes
entirely beyond their control, viz: having
been absent for three or more years in the
Confederate army, and the closiug Of the war
having rendered two,thirds or more of their
property unavailable for Tho payment Of said
debts-said indebtedness having been. in
creased by the accumulation Of four years in
tcrcst, resulting from creditors refusing to re
ccivc the only available means of payment,
viz: Confederate money. BE it therefore,,
Resolrea, That in the opinion of this
meeting, the enforced collection of debts ut
this time, will DO ruinous to tho people Of the
State. aud to tho end shat some measures of
relief may bs' adjrtGl, we respectfully and
earnestly ca's upon His Exccll,ncy. the Gov.
crnor, to convene the General Assembly at an
early day.
Reso!tc,l, That VIC do not hereby mean to
sanction any measure of reputation, absnlv-
ing debtors from tho just payment of their
contracts; but only to express decided opin
ion, that tho public interest urgently demands
a postponement Of the collection of debts at
the preseut time. How long tl,is postpone
ment must continue must depend OH the con.
dition Of the country"
Tho following resolution, in relation to a
most important msttcr, was likewise adopted
by the meeting:
Reso'oee', That ii is probable that an nt-
tempt will be made to relieve the Stockhold
crs of tho Banks Of their" promises to pay"
or in other words, to enable the Stockholders
of tho Banks to rcpudatc their just debts due
to citizens; that justice may be mctcd out 70
all alike, we earnestly recommend that the
Banks be held strictly to account with all 9TH.
or debtors, aud to abide the same rules and
regulations, for the payment of their debts
