but that, on the contrary, the influence of your Society has greatly extended.While more attention has been excited to horticultural pursuits, a generous rivalry to excel in the growth of fruits, flowers and vegetables, has been called into existence\u2014a marked improvement is manilesled in the cultivation and taste in tho arrangement of gardens and grounds; new vineries and green houses have been erected ; orchard planting has greatly increased, and in addition to the many practical advantages of the operations of your Society, the exhibitions have been occasions of the highest gratification and interest to the public.The Society has now assumed a position and importance which its founders scarcely anticipai, ed, in so short a space of time.While a review of the past is in the highest degree satisfactory, future progress and success must mainly depend upon the continued effort and active aid of each member\u2014and your Board trust that the zeal and enthusiasm which several individuals have manifested in promoting the objects of the Society, will bo emulated bv others.Particularly would they suggest that every member should endeavor to contribute to each exhibition ; few who take an interest in horticulture, but have some plant or fruit possessing points oi excellence, and it is highly desirable that such should be presented, in order that it may be seen, and the peculiar modo of cultivation kno.,n.The pursuit of horticulture, from the earliest period of the world, has not been considered unworthy the attention of many of the most gifted intellects; its advantages have been acknow.[edged by tho educated and refined in every condition of life, Iront the monarch on the throne to the humblest peasant.Agriculture, it is true, furnishes us Jwitb \u201d the staff of life\u201d; but it is written, \u201c man shall not live by bread alone\".\u2014 Horticulture addresses the finer sentiments of our nature, that love of the beautiful which is implanted in the breast of every man : it teaches us to recognize the hand of that Being who, while fie creates worlds, also displays His wisdom in the delicate form and wonderful beauty of the.humblest flower.Science and learning have been brought to bear upon the cultivation of the ground, and the results are apparent in the rapid improvement and perfection which horticulture has uttnined in tho Mother ' Uauntry, and in tile neighbouring States.And while our infant so cic:;\u2019 cannot oompare with the flourishing institutions of older countries, we can at least lollow in their footsteps and imitate their enlightened enterprise,remembering that they have successfully encountered the same difficulties with which we now contend.At the last annual meeting, a resolution was adopted with reference to procuring an Act of Incorporation ; your Board, in accordance therewith, presented a petition to the Provincial Parliament, which was confided to the Hon.Mr.Badgley and thé Hon.Mr.Morm, through whose influence an Act of Incorporation was obtained without any expense to the Society.Your Board would record their obligati ins to the gentlemen to whose efforts your Society is indebted for its position as a body corporate, with a recognized legal existence.The first exhibition of the season was held on the 25th of May, tn the Racket Court, Coté Street, the display of green house plants was lully equal to that of any previous occasions\u2014Fuschias, Pelatgoniumus and Calceolarias were well deserving of notice, those from the green house of Messrs.Torrance and Corso were highly creditable, as were also the variety of early vegetables from Messrs.Cooper and Appleton.The attendance of the public was large, and the result exceedingly gratifying.The June exhibition, which took place in the spacious Hall of Mr.Corse\u2019s New Hotel, Great St.James Street, was an occasion of great attraction, and was altogether one of the most successful your Society has held.\u2014 The Hall was thronged throughout the day by a large concourse of visitors who testified their plea-sure and gratification at the rich and beautilu! display the fables presented.The apartment was very tastefully decorated with evergreens and floral designs.For \u201d the wreath of Roses\u201d, measuring sixty feet in length, which ornamented the pillars, the thanks of the Society are due to Miss Shepherd.Bouquets and Florai designs were in great profusion, evincing much improvement and taste.The show of fruits and vegeta-tables was exceedingly large, giving evidence of the benefits the Society has conferred upon the community, as previous to ils existence, such a collection would have been impossible.The excellent Band of the I9ib Regiment was in attend, ance, enlivening the occasion with its fine music.Your Board would here express their obligations to Mr.Corse for the gratuitous use of the Hall, and for valuable assistance in the arrangements.In consequence of the prevailing epidemic with which our city was visited, it was dsotned prudent to dispense with the August meeting.The third annual exhibition Was appointed to be held on the 13th of September, in the Grove of the|Montreal CollegeFarm, which liad\u2019been kindly offered lor the purpose by the Rev.Mr.Villeneuve.Although the day was exceedingly unfavourable, a large number of contributions were sent, and several hundred visitors were present.It was decided to continue the exhibition on the following day.The weather fortunately proved highly propitious, and several thousands oi our citizens were attracted to tho grounds.The arrangements, with which the weather had seriously interfered, were completed early in the morning, and the display of fruits and vegetables was supe.rior to that of the previous season.In the cultivation of grapes and plums, much improvement was manifested.Of the former, fifteen varieties, from the vinery of J.Redpath, Esq., and the fine specimens from Messrs.Muir and Torrance were well deserving of commendation.Several new sorts of plums were exhibited, among wiiich a variety of superior excellence iroin the garden of J.Savage, Esq., was named by the judges in honour of one of the vice presidents \u201c The Ville-neuve\u201d.It was pleasing to observe the perfection which had been attained in the varieties and blooins of dahlias, aslcrs, petunias, verbenas, pansies and coxcombs, specimens of which would compare favourably with those of any other country.A beautiful collection ol heaths, numbering 1Ü8 varieties, was presented by Mr.Wilson, and attracted much attention.Among the many va.rielies of vegetables, the Canada squashes were remarkable for their size and quality ; that for which Mrs.Conoliy received the prize weighing 258 lb\u2019s., might justly lo considered one of the wonders of the vegetable kingdom.The Floral Bazaar, as usual, formed.one of the most prominent attractions of the occasion.To our fair friends whose graceful presence and 'unwearied attention contributed to.its success, your board would express their grateful acknowledgments.They trust the Society will edminue to receive that cheerful aid and co-operation from the same source which has hitherto been of such important benefit.In concluding this notice of the annual exhibition, your Board would record their obligations to the Rev.Mr.Villeneuve, and the Reverend gentlemen of the College, for the use of the grounds, and lor the assistance'rendered in the preparations, as .well as fur the kind hospitalities extended to the .Committee.The proceeds of the Floral Bazaar am.unted to £17 lOs Od, and the sum of £40 2s 8d was realized from the sale of tickets.It is a matter of regret that the commercial de» pression and the prevalence of the epidemic pro.vented your Board from carrying out the sugges- tions of their predecessors, wiih reference to a course of lectures, and the experimental garden.They would, however record the high sense of their value and importance to the advancement of Horticulture, and trust that the subject will receive the earnest attention ol their successors.The practical gardeners have continued the warm friends and supporters of your Society, for the tasteful arrangements of the various exhibitions, you are indebted to their skill and aid\u2014 their valuable suggestions, also, have fiom time to time been of eminent service.Your Board would express their sympathy for those whose in-terests were so seriously injured by the presence of the cholera, they trust a bountilul harvest and the return of commercial prosperity, the present season will fully compensate-.fur the misfortunes of the last.A premium of £3 was offered for the best twelve ornamental trees planted in any of the public squares during Ibis season, and also ono of £2 If*, lor the best cultivated garden and grounds.\u2014 Although there were no competitors lor the former premium, our city gives evidence that the suggestion in our last report has to some extent been acted upon.For the latter, there was but one entry.Your Board regret that these prizes, the largest the Society offers, and therefore considered the most important, should not receive that attention which (hey demand, and they express the hope that this season a large number will compete for prizes so honourable and forobjecls so worthy.Several changes have occurred in the Board of Officers since the last annual meeting.Mr.Garth, Recording Secretary, found the duties encroached too much on his lime, and in conse.quence resigned, when Mr.Alexander Morris consented to act until a suitable successor should be appointed.Mr.Morris continued to perform the duties until the end of August, when he retired in favour of Mr.George Platt, who has since filled that office.Mr.Fowkes having left the Province for England, was succeeded in the office, of Assistant Recording Secretary, by Mr.YVm.Buchanan.The honor of receiving the largest number of prizes this year belongs to Mr.C.Hugall, gardener to Win.Lunn, Esq.The second largest number was awarded to Mr.P.Turner, gardener to the Hon.J.Leslie, and the third to Mr.P.Allan, gardener to J.Torrance, Esq.At the exhibitions where decisions are necessary m matters of taste, in which confiiction of interests is naturally involved, the office of judge is one of extreme difficulty and delicacy.It has been the aim of the Committee to act with impartiality and fairness, and your Board trusts the awards will afford sa-fation, as it has been their intention to render justice to all intended.At our last Anniversary your Board had the pleasure to congratulate the Society upon its freedom from debt.By the Treasurer\u2019s report it will appear that the funds are already exhausted, and several accounts remain unpaid.To meet the expenditure ol the coming year, it will be incumbent to increase considerably tlie list of subscrib.ers ; and your Board would further urge the propriety ol seeking aid from Government, on the same terms as it is accorded to the Agricultural Societies throughout the province.In compliance with the invitation of the Secretary of the New York Agricultural Society, a collection of Cana, dian fruit was.sent to the pomological exhibition, held at Albany on the 17th January, last year,\u2014 an acknowledgment of which was received, to.gether with three vois of the transactions ol that Society.We are also again indebted to Mr.Jas.Lyman, of Northampton, Moss., for a vol.ol transactions of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society.In conclusion, your Board would remark, that while the review\u2019 of the past affords matter .oi congratulation^ much remains yet to be accomplished ; they trust members will not rest satisfied with the honor of excelling at exhibitions, howe.ver praiseworthy this may bo.^-lhe best modes of cultivation and propagation, the analyses and improvement of soils\u2014tlie difficulties ot our climate \u2014the nomenclature of Iruils and flowers, the beautiful indigenous plants of the country\u2014the study of Horticulture as a science, are all subjects which should command our earnest attention, if we desire that improvement and progress which will give the Sociely that position and character it is entitled to, and without which it will fail in the object of its foundation.The Montreal Horticultural Society in account with John Frothingham, Treasurer.1849\tDr.Jan.13\u2014To paid Herald account, for advertising and printing, June 7\u2014To paid Transcript do do\t4\t9\t8 To rent of room for meeting\t1\t5\t0 To sundry expenses June\t\t\t exhibition\t\t2\t18\t10 To 19th Bund\tdo.\t2\t2\t6 To H.Fowkes, Asst.Sec.\t4\t7\t6 To S.J.Lyman\u2019s account.\t.2\t13\t6 Sept.\u2014To sundry expenses annual\t\t\t exhibition\t\t11\t0\t7 To Light Infantry Band do\t8\t15\t0 Oct.27\u2014To rent.\t\t\t\t5\t0\t0 Nov.3\u2014To Mr.McNider, painting.\t0\t10\t0 \u201c\t5\u2014To Starke &.Co., priming.\t17\t11\t0 44\t7\u2014To J.L.Beaudry\u2019s account\t2\t6\t0 44 10\u2014To C.Alexander\u2019s\tdo\t3\t0\t5 44 44 \u2014To R.Campbell &.Co\u2019sdo\t3\t8\t8 44 23\u2014To R.&.C.Chalmers\u2019 do\t0\t8\t1 «« \u201c\u2014To J.Cooper\u2019s\tdo\t5\t17\t8 To S.J.Lyman &, Co\u2019sdo\t4\t5\t0 To sundry premiums during\t\t\t the year \t\t43\t15\t0 £137\t\t2\t9 \t\u2014.\t\t\t 1848 Dec.28\u2014By balance per account.£\t13\tCr.13\t10 1849\t\t\t June \u2014By proceeds June exhibition\t18\t6\t7 Sept.\u2014By proceeds Annual do\t\t\t and Floral Bazaar\t\t67\t12\t8 By am\u2019t Subscriptions paid.\t36\t15\t0 By balance due Treasurer .\t0\t14\t8 £137 2 9 E.E.John Frothingham, Treasurer.Montreal, Feb.13, 1850.The Report having been read in French by the Hon.Chairman, it was Moved by G.W.Wicksteed, Esq., seconded by Mr.Lovell : That the Report now read be adopted, and printed for circulation among the members of the Society.!

In a magnificeut house, situated in Burbett Street in a parlour most splendidly and tastefully furnished, sat a lady elegantly attired.Hereyes were anxiously fixed on atimepiece, the slow movemet t of which rendered her almost desperate.The lady was the Marchioness de Monlre-vel ; her age was about thirty-two, though she appeared as young as twenty-five.During a residence of six years in Canada, her face acquired a delicate paleness which contrasting with hair black as ebony, and flexible, and brilliant as silk, gave to her regular features an expression of mildness and tenderness, which rendered her irresistibly charming.But sotnedmes ibis expression degenerated into langour, though without taking away the grace of iter features.Pier arms of snowy whiteness, and an ivory polish, joined a hand, which Rubens could Hot have imitated.A form of faultless symetry, and most winning manners, all combined lo give liera high rank at the court of the Queen regent, Anne of Austria.It was not a lover that this beautiful woman was awaiting with so much impatience ; so much the better.Suddenly a ray ofjoy illuminated her fine countenance, as a young girl of about sixteen years, (who might have been taken for her sister, so great was the resemblance) now entered, arid knelt before her.\u201c My mother !\u201d \u201c My daughter !\u201d The marchioness opened her arms, an.) pressed her daughter to her bosom.Sometime elapsed before eilher could find words to express the pieasoce they experienced lo be again restored to each other.The marchioness wept and laughed at the same time, while she covered the fair face of the young girl with kisses; then she contemplated her charms with ecstacy and exclaimed ;\u2014\u201c My Louise, my good Louise, how happy I am to have you with me again, to behold your growth in stature and beauty.May we always remain together, to compensate for the long years of cruel absence I have endured.\u201d \u201c And think, my dear mother, what 1 have suffered.\u201d \u2018\u2018 Child, do not accuse me.When I left you, you were not old enough to comprehend my motives, but now I can explain and justify my conduct.You have often heard, my Louise, of the glorious deaih your father found, upon the battle field of Rhittefield ; you were then but eight years old, and could not appreciate the extent of this cruel loss, not only to have him taken away, him who was so dear to us, but all the fortune you had a right to expect.The Marquis de Montrevel was a faithful subject, and nobly performed his duty, but after his death his estates were sold, and I gave up a part of my dowry, in order to fulfil all tlie engagements he had contracted during a long war of seven yearn.Nothing then remained to you but your mother.Here she was interrupted by Louise, who pressed her in her arms, saying, \u201c And was that not enough !\u201d \u201c Yes,\u201d replied the marchioness, \u201c enough for your love, but not sufficient for your happiness.I trembled for your fate, as 1 considered our small resources, and often wept bitterly, at your progress in accomplishments, which had formerly been my joy and pride.But an unexpected circumstance occurred to dissipate my anxiety.I had an old uncle residing in Canada, whose immense wealth had been one of the first elements of tlie prosperity of Quebec.This node heard of my husband\u2019s death, and of my ruin ; he invited me to go and live with him, and inherit ali iris riches.But I should have been consi le\u2019red imprudent, and almost guihy, tohaveexpos-ed you to the dangers of the passage, and I felt obliged to sacrifice the comfort of having you with me, to your health and advantage.I confided you during my absence to the care of our relation, the Abbess de Chelles.I cannot express the weariness and suffering that I endured through the six years of my exile.But to have you with me now, and lo know that you will become the richest heiress in France, is a happiness w rich I would have paid ten times dearer for, had it been necessary.\u201d \u201cExcellent mother,\u201d exclaimed Louise, passionately kissing her hands,1 \u201c what need I of fortune ?Your tenderness is more precious to me, than all your riches.\u201d \u201c You are but sixteen years old, my Louise, and have not yet learned to appreciate life, excepting in a convent.The time will come, when you will understand that, in the eyes of men, birth and beauty are not sufficient withorit wealth.Thank heaven, I have removed far from you, this shipwreck.\u2014You can follow the dictates bf your heart without fear.You have a right to choose or reject.\u201d \u201c But why, my dear mother,\u201d replied Louise \u201cshould you speak upon this subject.\u2019\u2019 You are yet young, and far more beautiful than I, and I do not wish that all the devotion should be on your side or that you should renounce a happiness of which you are more worthy than your daughter.\u201d \u201c My good Louise,\u201d said the marchioness slightly blushing, \u201c what can I desire more than to see your wishes gratified ?Besides, added she, smiling, we have riches sufficient for us both, and the happiness of one need be no obstacle to the happiness of the other.But this subject must be reserved for future consideration\u2014some other time, perhaps, at present, I wish to be entirely occupied wnh your concerns\u2014to witness your inlroduotion at court\u2014to see you shine among the most celebrated and the most beautiful ladies there : to-morrow I shall present you to the queen regent.\u201d \u201cTo-morrow 1\u201d \u201cYes, my dear: why are you so much alarmed 1 You need not fear not being well received.Be composed ; I have foreseen all this.\u201d \u201cOh! it is not fear, dear mother, that distresses me.\u201d \u201c What then 1\u201d \u201c I have just begun to enjoy your society, to receive your caresses ; and you already speak of dividing my time with the world.\u201d \u201c Why, my child, are you not impatient to realize the pleasures that you have so often anticipafed, while confined in the retirement of your convent?\u201d \u201c I am so happy with you,\u201d replied Louise, embracing her mother tenderly.\u201c I have a favor to ask : do not refnse my first petilion.\u201d \u201c Speak, my love, speak, and I promise to grant your request, if possible.\u201d \u201c Well, then, let my presentation be deferred for a month.\u201d \u201c And do you really wish it?\u201d \u201c It it does not displease you too much ?\u201d \u201c Displease me ! it delights me.lam the gainer by this delay.I shall have you all to myself.\u201d Louise was overjoyed ; but the time site had obtained was not suffered lo be passed .in complete retirement.Two persons had free access to tho house, arid they made frequent visits.One of them, the Baron dp Danneville, about fifty years old, had become acquainted with the Marchioness de Montrevel in Quebec.A daily witness of her many virtues, during her long residence with her relation \u2014of the tender cares she bestowed upon him, and of the angelic patience with which she supported the oddities of this difficult old man, all tended to excite esleem, which was soon converted imo deep affection, but this affection did not often show itself in words.He decided to go lo France at the same time the Marchioness returned there, and not wishing his motives to be suspected, lie was silent on the subject.On their arrival, he procured a very large house in the neighbourhood of Burbett Street, and visited the Marchioness without ceremony, as he had been accustomed to do in Quebec.So carefully did he con- ceal his sentiments, that if the Marchioness had not been gifted with a large share of discernment, she would not have discovered his love.It is true, as soon as ha was aware of t himself, he watched, her with the greatest possible care, hut could not perceive the sl.ghtest appearance of attachment.She esteemed Ins character and valued his friendship and good opinion, but\u2014bui the b iron h id a nephew, who possessej as many go id qualities as his uncle, with the advantage of youth and beauty,\u2014two powerful arguments in his favor.This nephew in whom the short-sighted baron had not divined arrival, was the chevalier do Monburn, who being desirous of g ory hoped to find it in F ranee.He asked and obtained permission to accompany his uncle there; thus, being much with the marchioness, he saw much in her to admire and was often eloquent in her praise ; she was pleased with the delicate attentions he was constantly showing her and by no means discouraged his advances, which she certainly did not rightly understand ; she arinbuted Ins silence to timidity- \u201cBut said,\u201d sho, \u201cthe time will soon come when ho will gain his courage to speak.\u201d The marchioness was so completely absorbed with her own love, that she did not perceive what was passing in tlie heart of her daughter, or the great change in her manners.She was melancholy and reserved, but had she been asked ,vhy she so trequently sighed, and why she was so languid, she would have beenexceedingiyeinbarrassed to answer.She was always sealed in the parlor at the the hour when the chevalier was expected.He too was altered ; he was more serious and thoughtful than he had ever been.The marchioness thought Ins atteuLions to herseif were redoubled, and that his passion would soon overcome his timidhy.She was daily expecting a declaration of his love.One morning she took her daughter\u2019s arm for a little walk, and, in a few minutes, addressed her as follows : \u2014 \u201c You remember, Louise, that in our first conversation, yuu ooserved, I was not too old lo forget my own happiness for yours?\u201d \u201cYes, mother, and what I then said, I still think.\u201d \u201cYou must not deceive me; does not the idea of my being again married give you any trouble ?\u201d \u201c No indeed, my mother, you may be assured I shall love ihe man of your choice almost as well as you can yourself.\u201d \u201c Well your friendship will not he ill placed.\u2014He is young, elegant in appearance, and ranks high m Society,\u201d \u201cSo much ihe better,\u201d exclaimed Louise, in a cheerful vbice.\u201c He has great beauty and an irreproachable character.You cannot imagine anything more noble,\u201d \u201cOh! so much the better; so much the belter.He must be every way worthy of you.\u201d \u201c Flatterer !\u201d \u201cAnd I shill soon show my gratitude towards him who is so deaf lo you.\u201d ¦ \u201c Yes, at least I think so,\u201d said the marchioness, half laughing.\u201c But you are not sure ?\u201d \u201c I must confess l am now waiting for a formal declaration, but I cannot be mistaken in his feelings, as his whole conduct, even the sound of his voice, show his deep devotion.\u201d \u201cGond mother,\u201d replied Louise, you have not told his name.\u201d \u201c I left that to exercise your patience ; cannot you divine the name?\u201d \u201c 1 can form no idea who it is.\u201d \u201c Well, then, I must tell you : it is de Mon-brun,\u201d replied Madame de Montrevel.At th it moment they saw the young gentleman just mentioned, ana his uncle, coming to meet them.The baron approached the marchioness with great gravity, and begged the favor of a private interview which site felt obliged to grant, and the young people seated themselves in the garden.When the baron found himseif alone with the marchioness, if was long before lie could utter a word ; but when he regained h;s voice, he began to implore her indulgence, and said it was a uiore difficult task to express his feelings than he could have imagined.\u201c Monsieur de Danevtlle,\u2019\u201d exclaimed tho marchioness, \u201cyou frig'hteu me by these preparations !\u201d \u201c What I most feared was your raillery.\u201d \u201c My raillery, why, the subject seems too serious for that.\u201d \u201c Serious indeed,\u201d said he, \u201c for him whose cause I am anxious to plead before you\u2019\u2019.\u201c Plead ! baron, plead, I am all attention.\u201d \u201c You alone dear madame, can repair the evil you have occasioned.\u201d \u201c Me ! If 1 have injured any one, it was involuntary.\u201d \u201c You are not content with beimr beautiful, but you ate amiable, accornphsheJ, talented, and abounding in goodness of heart.\u201d \u201c Well if all this be true, huw can it be considered a crime ?\u201c Not a crime, if you only reciprocate ; but your indifference almost deprives him of reason ; lie has long strove to conq ter this passion, fearing your refusal.\u201d \u201c Andean he not speak for himself?\u201d \u201c Yes, yes,\u201d said the baron, as he threw himseif on his kn;es before her.\u201cI will speak freely, lovely woman.You may have admirers younger and more polished, but none whose devotion and sincerity can equal mine.\u201d \u201cYou really Irifle very pleasantly, hut my mind is seriously disposed this morning, and I must beg you to desist.\u201d The baron was now more confused than even at the commencement of this interview and earnestly besought her not to ren 1er him miserable.But she, thinking' it lime to put an end to this scene, begged him to rise Iroin his knees, and left him immediately.Tills proved a most trying day to the sensitive Madame de Montrevel.On leaving tlie baron site went into ihe garden, and heard what she was tolally unprepared for, viz: the chevalier inaking a most tender and pass! m-ate avowal of love for her daughter.This entirely destroyed her patience and self jtos-sessioii.She stepped forward, and in a severe tone commanded Louise to retire ; then fixing on the chevalier an angry look :\t\u201c It is I, monsieur, who must answer for my daughter's actions, and I ought to have been informed of your sentiments otherwise than by chance.\u201d Having uttered these words, she went rapidly to her chamber,.and gave free vent to Iter tears for a long time.After this temporary relief, she had a hard stiuggle between passion and duty.At length she formed a resolution, and suddenly rang the bell, telling the domestic whe answered, it to request her daughter\u2019s im mediate presence.But it would be difficult to depict her astonishment and grief at hearing that Louise had quitted the house, leaving a letter which wad in substance as follows.¦\u2019 Bo not distressed, my good mother, at my nb.sence ; jt is.essential for our mutual comfort.I was greatly afflicted at your severity this morning, and wept bitterly.I asked mysell what fault I.had committed.Then I recollected your coofi» dential communication, and I understood your feelings.It was not your daughter\u2014your dear Louise but your rival, that you were offended with.Afe your rival ! It must not be.I cannot lose the precious love .of my mother\u2014Never, never! And to guard against this calamity, 1 have determined to return to the; convent, and remain in that o'ld asylum until you are tnurned.Fray let my pxile he as short as possible.Your devoted daughter, LOUISE DE MONTREVEL.\u201d \u201c Noble heart ! generous child !\u201d exclaimed the marchioness, after having read this letter; \u201cyou shall soon be restored to my arms.\u201d The next day, great preparations were making in the house; every one was actively employed from morning till night.This state i ) i MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMxMERCIAL GAZETTE.of affairs continued till the eighth day, when the marriage of the marchioness was celebrat-ed.But poor Louise found this time long ; she passed gloomy days and sleepless nights.She had presumed too much upon her firmness, and was fast sinking, in spite of the holy exhortations of the Abbess, and the kind attentions of her young friends, the sisters of the establishment.One evening, as she sat indulging her grief, she was summoned to receive company in the parlor.This announcement made her tremble exceedingly, but her heart beat more violent when, on opening the door, she perceived her mother, and was instantly pressed in her arms.The marchioness was not alone, but accompanied by the Baron de Danneville and the Chevalier de Monbrun.\u201c Wicked girl,\u201d said she, kissing the forehead of Louise, \u201cI have yielded to your threats ; I am married.\u201d \u201c Married !\u201d exclaimed Louise with an accent of despair she could not suppress.But soon conquering her feelings, she turned to the chevalier with a forced smile, saying, ( I entreat you, Monsieur de Monbrun, to make my mother happy.\u201d \u201c What do you say, little simpleton ?\u201d asked her mother, laughing; \u201cyour wish should not be addressed to the chevalier.\u201d Then taking the baron by the hand, she continued, \u201c I introduce my husband, the Baron de Danneville, to you.\u201d I shall not attempt to describe the scene which followed ; the reader can easily supply the blank.And it is almost useless to add, that the healtli of Louise was restored as by magic, and that her marriage with Monbrun took place without loss of time.POST OFFICE NOTICE.fV (OMMENCING on the 9th instant, the MAILS FOR ENGLAND, via the UNITED STATES, will be DESPATCHED jrom Montreal, EVERY SUNDAY MORNING during the PRESENT MONTH, up to SUN-DAY, 23rd instant, inclusive, and every ALTERNATE SUNDAY during the Months of JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH and APRIL, 1850, commencing on SUNDAY, Gilt JANUARY.The Boxes will be closed for PAID LETTERS on the previous Saturday, at FIVE o\u2019clock, P.M.UNPAID LETTERS may be dropped into the Box during SATURDAY NIGHT.NEWSPAPERS must be posted belore Four o\u2019clock, P.M., on SATURDAY.General Post Office, i Montreal.19th D 'C., 1849.\\\t231 THURSDAY MORNING, FEB.21, 1850.m&m 'CtfAL H® Recipkocity\u2014Our Political Position.\u2014 For some time past, the Ministerial otgans throughout the Province have been labouring to show that every evil of our present condition was to be remedied by the passage of the Reciprocity Bill, now before the United States Congress.According to their own President of the Council, this measure was one of five, which it was absolutely necessary to carry, if Canada were still to romain a colony.Of course this was before loyalty, became one of the things in which Mr.Merritt carried on business.Previously, his transactions had been confined to the more legilimate, though hardly so profitable line, of Canal shares, But the present he made us of his oninion still beats fruit, though his position has changed ; and, as we have the authority of the first legal dignitary in the country for the belief that there is \u201c one loyally to the Crown and another loyalty to the people,\u201d we may fairly doubt whether the latter, as Mr.Blake once thought most praiseworthy loyalty, does not lead us to act on Mr.Merritt\u2019s past opinions rather than on those, he must be at present supposed to bold in company with his colleagues.We are justified then in believing that according to ministerialist views, loyalty to Great Britain is the proper and correct return for favours to be granted us by the United States ; or, if this triangular kind of gratitude be not precisely what is meant, that at least the interests of the people do depend so entirely on their free admission to the United States market, that respect to their sovereignly should override that due to monarchical traditions, if this free admission be not obtained.We see that our Toronto contemporary, the Mirror, gives us.this idea, in the very words of a Minister of the Crown, who remarked a few days ago that the failure to obtain reciprocity \u201cwould make nine-tenths of the people of Upper Canada in favour of annexation, and that then they would get it.\u201d Whether this suspensive and conditional kind of annexationism ought not to induce the zealous individual who represents Her Majesty, to suspend another militia officer and Justice of the Peace\u2014or, at least, to issue new commissions for those offices, to take effect only after the Reciprocity measure shall have passed at Washington, we will not now inquire.Mr.Blake, among other distinguished dicta, which may probably be handed down by some new Lord Campbell, \u2014in case the \u201c clear grits\u201d do not abolish the lives of the Chanchellors, by killing off the old Adam, who must stand for the progenitor of the future race\u2014Mr.Blake, we say, among other legal curiosities, laid down a new kind of loyalty in addition to the one of which honorable mention has already been made.\u201c Spurious loyalty\u201d was the name of the new species.But, after all, the lawyers cannot come up to the clergy in metaphysics, nor in the faculty of drawing nice distinctions.So that as Mr.Blake had among his late colleagues, a gentleman who was vulgarly supposed to have claims to theepisco-pal dignity, because his oratory closely resembled the traditions of the groat patres eedesice, we must suppose that the last kind of loyalty, to support which, the Gazette teems with weekly dismissals, is of his discovery.We have not yet heard whether he has named it, though following the example of the tulip cultivators, he has a clear right to prefix his own name and add gloriosus or magnr/icus, or any other distinction, which he may think due to its merit.For present use, we shall call it by the good old English name of See-Saw ; the balance being between the people at one end of the plank, and the Crown at the other.Let the Southerners only give the plank the right reciprocity impulsion, and loyalty to the Crown will cry here we go up ! up! up! Let tlie Northerners only put on the screw, of agricultural protection\u2014loyally to the Crown goes down! down! down!; and loyalty to the people rises in the air.Now, there may be a good deal of reason for the importance attached to the measure, which the slavery haters of Canada, par etc-cellence, are hying to coax out of the Southern slave owners, is the surest means of defending slavery.We have always desired to see this reciprocal trade obtained, and it is this desire, which has led us, perhaps, more than any other, to advocale a greater measure, which would give us reciprocity, not in half a dozen articles, but in everything.The head of one of the largest manufacturing firms in this Province, informed us three days ago, that he could have sold six thousand specimens of the Principal article of his manufacture in the United St ales last year worth £12000, had it not been for the duly.Reciprocity in raw materials would not aid petsons itt a situation like this gentleman, nor would it prevent enterprising mechanics like Messrs.Wright, from being forced to remove to the States in order to execute contracts, which they could have fulfilled just as well in Canada, if the Custom House birrierdid not interfere.If our ministry then succeed in their negociatiors, we shall sincerely rejoice in it, as one of the most important objects for which we have striven.We confess, however, that we have little hope of their success ; but we have still less confidence in the results, which they anticipate from it.Let the people of Canada look boldly at the position assumed by the ik/trror\u2019s see-saw loyalty minister, and say whether, it is one either honourable to Great Britain, or useful to her colony.Can it be desirable that our own connection with the British people or the British Crown should depend, not upon the action of the British Parliament and Sovereign ; but on that of the legislature of a for.eign nation ?Is it worthy of a Province like this to be thus hung up between two powers, neither of which - consults its interests nor wishes ?Suppose the Reciprocity Bill should give us all its warmest friends of the ministry or its other friends can expect, what security have we that it will continue to be law, from one year\u2019s end to another?The Whigs are in power to-day, the Democrats may be in power to-morrow.Is the conduct of Canadians with regard to theirpublic duty to depend upon the varying phase of foreign politics\u2014are our fortunes to continue the plaything of every change of wind in a society where we can exercise no vote ?These questions naturally bring us to the real key of our pssition.Disguise it as we may\u2014put off the realization of the fact as long as we please \u2014we are by our situation connected, to the fortunes and the policy of the United States.We cannot escape from our fate, though we may, perhaps, decline to avail ourselves of its advantages, and choose to accept only its evils.Sherbrooke Electors, Read thi* !\u2014Our Ministerial prints have recently been assuring you of the success of the reciprocity measure at Washington.Look at this extract from the Tribune, of which the Editor is a member of Congress, belonging to the dominant party, and judge for yourselves :\u2014 RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.A correspondent lately desired our opinion of the project ol Reciprocal Free Trade (in certain staples) with the Canadas, coupled with the con.cession to us of the Free Navigation of the St.Lawrence.Our reply is that we are in favor of all this and much more\u2014in due time.That time is to he determined in the first place by Ca\u201d nada, next by Great Britain.They two coneur-ring, it will next be our country\u2019s turn, and our voice will pretty certainly be raised in favor of perfect reciprocity with Canada and free intercourse, not in a few specified articles alone, but in everything\u2014rcciproeily offensive and defensive.At present, wo wait our turn.The Free Navigation ot the St.Lawrence was formerly of much moment in this country ; it has become less and less so with the completion of each new channel of communication between the Atlantic and the basin of the St.Lawrence.When almost every product of the field or the forest is worth from ten to twenty per cunt more on this side of Lake Ontario than the other, there is very little need on our part of an outlet through the Gulf of St.Lawrence.New York could spare to Montreal and Quebec all the trade which would bo drawn away from us by the free, dom ol the St.Lawrence and hardly miss it.The Erie Canal route now affords a cheaper transit to Europe than that down the great north-eastern river.We are not fond of international bargains\u2014 \u2018 We will do this if you will do that and the other.\u2019 They are justifiable in special eases, but not often.If we thought it best to receive the agricultural products ol the Canadas free of duly, we should advocate the doing of it at\u2019once, without condi.lion or bargain.The show of Reciprocity is illusory ; there is little substance behind it.We could sell some goods to Canada, but very little produce.Whenever there shall bo an American custom house at Quebec, superseding and abolishing two lines of revenue-officeis from Madawaska to theSault St.Marie, we snail be heartily in favor of Reciprocity with the Canadas\u2014thorough Recip.roeity.Until there shall be, we apprehend any stipluations tor the reciprocal admission of certain articles Iree of duty would be abused to cover the smuggling of British fabrics across our frontier.The facilties for that traffic are quite sufficient already, and we are not disposed to increase them., And in view of all the facts, we consider ail the money spent in lobbying lor Reciprocity bills at Washington this winter will be the same as thrown away, save as the operation may serve to convince the agents that the relief (hey ask is to be found in a measure much more comprehensive than a Reciprocity hill.We promised, in our last issue, that the Gazette\u2019s recantation of his groundless and unwarrantable misrepvesenlations of the views and motiics of the Annexationists should have our atlenliofi to-day ; but so rapid are the changes, so ambiguous the language, of our contemporary, that, we confess, we have no little difficulty in keeping peace with him.For example, on Friday last, he thunders forth his denunciations against the leaders of the Annexation movement, as persons having ,£ an object\u201d in deceiving their fellow-citizens to their ruin\u2014as being \u201c bent upon turmoil in the Colony\u201d\u2014and as having cast aside all \u201c respect for truth and reason or reverence for facts.\u201d Pretty si rong language, it will be admitted.On Saturday, we considered it our duty to expose the utter falsity of his charges and the absurdity of bringing them against men who, from the large slake they held in the country, whatever he, in his wisdom, might think of their judgment, could not possibly have any motives or objects other than the general prosperity, as they would be the first and the greatest sufferers by \u201cturmoil\u201d and strife.On Monday, our contemporary \u201c eats his leek\u201d\u2014although not without some wry faces at Mr.Stayner and the Corporation of Montreal\u2014and tells us :\u2014 We entertain great respect, personally, for the gentlemen named by the Herald ; but we would hold ourselves unworthy of their good opinion, and most unworthy of the confidence of the pub.lie, were we to permit our respect lor individuals, to prevent our denouncing the dangerous doctrines ot an Association, or our warning the public of its gradual progress, step by step, towards turmoil and strife.Now, all this is very smooth and exceedingly well expressfd; but we must remind the Gazelle that no one ever found fault with his \u201c denouncing the dangerous doctrines\u2019\u2019, of these gentlemen\u2014it was for his presuming to attribute vile and mercenary motives to them, that he was taken to task.It will, no doubt, be soine consolation to them to learn that they enjoy the 1\u2018 great respect, personally\u201d, of the Editor of the Gazette, but, how far this will lead them to overlook his representing them as political incendiaries, bent upon introducing turmoil and bloodshed into the country, with \u201c an object\u201d towards their own personal aggrandizement, we must leave them to say.Considering, however, the very sorry figure our contemporary\u2019s unscrupulous attack of Friday made him cut on the Monday following, we might have expected he would, at least on that day, have avoided all uncalled for personal allusions, either to friend or foe : but uo, having an old grudge against the Post Office department and the Corporation of Montreal, to gratify, he wanders away to the St.John's News, in which, it appears some correspondent had cast doubls upon the disinterestedness of the support he (the Gazette') has lately given to Lords Grey and Elgin\u2014hinting something about the Commissariat advertisements\u2014and writes as follows :\u2014 We are surprised, when he (the correspondent of the St.John\u2019s News) spoke of it, that he did not also say that the Herald advocates Annexation, because \u201c The Association\u201d has made good his loss of the same advertisements or that because it receives exclusively all the advertisements of the Post office\u2014a department of the Empire which it desires to overthrow,\u2014and all the advertisements of the corporation of Montreal,\u2014Mr.Slayner is an annexation, ist, and the corporation of Monireal an annexation body.Of which paragraph, he yesterday gives the following explanation : Let him (the Herald) read again what we wrote, and he will see that we neither stated Mr.Stayner to be an Annexationist, nor the Corporation to be an Annexation body.Mr.Stayner may or may not be one for all we know, bul we should be much astonished if he were, considering the enormous fortune he has made out of the people oi Canada.The Corporation, we believe, is not, and we hope will not be, at any rate until limes are more ripe for it.Now, we have £Cread again what the Gazette wrote\u201d\u2014and we have given our readers an opportunity of judging for themselves, as to whether we misrepresented him or not.It is true that his words will bear the interpretation he now gives them\u2014utz., that he merely meant to put, in the mouth of the correspondent of the St.John\u2019s News, a hypothetical ease, that, because the Post Office advertisements appeared in our columns, therefore Mr.Stayner must be an Annexationist\u2014and because the Corporation also advertised in the Herald, theHSfore its members must be Annexationists.We doubt, however, whether one in fifty of liis readers so understood him\u2014 we at least, were dull enough to believe that he meant to state as a fact, consisting with his knowledge, that Mr.Stayner was an Annexationist, and the Corporation of Montreal an Annexation body.It appears, however?that the Gazette does claim to be acquainted with Mr.Stayner\u2019s private affairs, for he says he would l£ be much astonished if he were (an Annexationist) considering the enormous fortune he has made out of the people of Canada.\u201d We do not pretend to any knowledge as to the extent of Mr.Stayner\u2019s fortune, but we confess, we cannot discover in what way its extent should be supposed to sway his political opinions, one way or the other.Mr.Stayner\u2019s position, as a public officer, precludes his taking any part in politics ; but, should circumstances release him from the restrictions, which\u2014no one knows better than the Gazette,\u2014render the mentioning of his name, in connection with politics, peculiarly ungracious, we have no doubt his political views will be dictated by what he conscientiously believes will advance the happiness and prosperity of Canada, in which he has so large a stake.Apart from politics and from the duties of his office, no one in our community has shown himself more zealous in forwarding the interests of the country than Mr.Stayner\u2014witness his unwearied exertions to forward the Portland Railroad to a successful issue\u2014 and it certainly savours strongly of envy and uncharif ableness to attribute motives to him, unsustained by any action of his life.As to the Gazette\u2019s carpings at the Council of the Montreal Annexation Association, performing the duties intrusted to them by their constituents, and addressing the people of Canada, in their name, they are almost too futile to require an answer.For what were the twen I y officers of the Association elected?Their names are before the public, and, we may inform the Gazette, and those, whom he seeks to deceive, that the most perfect unanimity prevails among them ; and that the late address to the people of Canada, commenting upon Lord Grey\u2019s dispatch, was adopted, without one dissentient voice, at a meeting attended by eighteen members of the Council.The idea of \u201chole and corner\u201d proceedings, in connection with the acts of the Annexation Association, from such a quarter, is, assuredly a very good joke.The Gazette, be it remembered, claims to be the organ of the British American League, who have frequently addressed the people of Canada\u2014and at their last convention, the people of this section of the Province were represented by three gentlemen only\u2014the Honorable George Mof-fatt, Mr.Thomas Wilson of Quebec, and Mr.William Gordon Mack of Montreal\u2014it is true that Mr.Ferres, of the Gazette, was also a member of the Convention, but, as we suppose he failed in being chosen by any Lower Canadian branch, he was contented- to sit for one in Upper Canada, which he never saw.Now, if it be presumptuous in the Council of the Montreal Annexation Association, con-sifting of twenty of our leading citizens, to address the people of Canada, in the name of those who elected them, what must it be in three, (or lhree-and-a-half, at most,) gentlemen assuming to represent tlie whole population of Lower Canada ?The CiROULATroN or the\u201c Gazette\u201d and \u201c Herald.\u201d\u2014The Gazette has some remarks on this subject to which we shall reply very shortly.When our conlemporary alluded to it some time ago, we offered him, if we recollect right, a distinct challenge.We do the same thing now.We believe wo have a larger subscription list than the Gazette in town, and a larger subscription list in the country.We will not bet new hats ; but we are willing to aid the funds of some charitable institution, and are ready to make a bet of £25, on our opinion.We are also ready to take another bet of £25, that during the month ending February 20, we have received five orders for subscriptions, for every three received by the Gazette.There is a distinct proposition.The money in the first case to be given to the General Hospital, in the last to the new Dispensary.Resignations vs.Dismissals.\u2014 We cut the following letter from the last issue of the Sherbrooke Gazette.The public would, we doubt not, be glad to learn, from one or other of the Ministerial organs, upon what principle Annexationist Officers of Militia are selected for dismissal.Many of those who signed the Montreal Annexation Manifesto, as well as the signers to Mr.Galt\u2019s requisition, are still in the full enjoyment of their rank\u2014How is this ?Are the chisellers afraid to show the extent to which even-handed injustice would disorganize the Militia: \u2014 Sherbrook, 14th February, 1850.Tlie Hon.James Leslie, Provincial Secreiary, Toronto : Sir: Perceiving that His Excellency has been pleased in dismiss many gendemen from the Com.mission of the Peace, and from the Militia in the County of Sherbrooke for having joined in ihe address to me as their Representative in Parliament, in which ihey stated their opinion in favor of a peaceable separation ol Canada from Great Britain, and its subsequent Annexation to the United States, with the consent of the Imperial Government, I now beg through you to express to His Excellency my deep regret that he should have seen fit to deprive this County of the public services of so many upright and tried subjects of Her Majesty, on account of their holding opinions at variance with those of his present advisers, on a subject which most deeply concerns the welfare ol this Province.And feeling that if the conduct ol my constituents on the subject referred to has been such as to merit the displeasure of ihe Governor General, I must be equally unfit to hold any similar appointment, I now beg through you to tender to his Excellency the resignation of my Commission as Captain in the 1st Battalion of Sherbrooke Militia.I hove the honor to be.Sir! Your obi.humble servi., A.T.GALT.It is gratifying to find, by the following report, which we have been requested to publish, that our citizens are not so much engrossed with political and commercial matters as to render them forgetful of the claims of humanity.It is certainly not very creditable to Montreal that her suffering poor should so long have been left wilhout the aid of a Dispensary,\u2014the utility, if not the necessity, of such an institution in every large city, being universally admilted\u2014and it is, therefore, with much pleasure that we see, in the names of the patrons and officers of the new institution, a guarantee for its able and efficient management.The report so fully points out the advantages which, directly or indirectly, all classes in the community,\u2014rich as well as poor,\u2014must derive from the establishment of a dispensary, that we cannot doubt its projectors will meet with the general and liberal support of all, in carrying out their noble and disinterested object :\u2014 THE MONTREAL DISPENSARY.PATRONS : His Worship the Mayor Hon A N Morin His Lordship the R C \u201d Peter McGill Bishop ol Montreal \u201c Geo Mu Halt

how to act ; for, on the one hand, it is difficult for him to have independent medical attendance from his limited means, without apprehending serious pecuniary distress, and, on the other, if he resorts to an hospital, the self-respect connected with independence is gradually worn away, and with it the virtues inseparable from it Hence many of them either neglect seeking the required assistance at the proper time, or, trusting to their own or a neighbour\u2019s judgment, have recourse to many of those remedies recommended for special diseases, and which are found, by daily experience, to be most dangerous weapons in the hands of the ignorant\u2014the result of which is too well known to need comment.It is, moreover, true, that among the greater proportion of poor, whatever boon they receive gratuitously, is not appreciated in the same manner as that for which they feel they are paying a certain amount as an equivalent.With the intention of remedying these evils and of aiding the provident of the working classes, it is proposed to establish in this city a Dispensary from which they may receive regular medical advice and attendance on the payment of a small sum.It is further proposed to extend the benefits of this institution to really necessitous persons by affording them gratuitous advice and medicine, and of the many arguments which might be adduced to support the propriety of extending iis benefiis to them, there are two which it is hoped will be as apparent as they are importunate.They are, 1.The absence of such an institution in this city, and the existence of many in other towns, which by population and wealth full beneath Montreal in the scale of comparison;\u2014the utility with which like institutions have always been attended by doing a vast amount of good to suffering humanity and the invaluable service they afford in times of epidemics by es:ab!ishing visitation systems.2.The immense proportion the destitute form of the population ;\u2014the greater number of sick among them than among other classes ;\u2014the prevalence and malignity of epidemics among them, chiefly from neglect of premonitory symp> toms, and the numbers of them who do not partake of the benefits of the hospital from their extreme youth and from circumstances of various kinds, not admitting of their being separated from their families and relations.The truth of many of these assertions was tested by the experience of the \u201c Self Supporting Dispensary\u201d which was closed for reasons of a particular but not discour» aging nature, as may be seen from the following passage in its interesting report dated June, 1844, which also warrants the expectation of like success and appreciation for a like establishment.\u201c The best proof indeed of the labours of the man-agers having been appreciated isderivable from the fact, that many of the patients have applied a second and even a third time for different ailments, during the short period, (six months) that the dispensary has been open and also that several of the original subscribers have required a second supply of tickets.\u201d The following is an explanation of the character and mode of working of the Montreal Dispensary : The benefit to be afforded by this Institution will consist in administering advice, medicine, and surgical aid to the labouring classes, and to the poor generally, of the City ot Monireal.Patients unable to attend the Dispensary, and resid ing within limits of the city will, if thought fit by the physicans, be visited and attended at their res.pective homes.The Montreal Dispensary will chiefly be a self-supporting Institution, to which end there will be two classes of Subscribers,\u2014the sick and the charitable.The sick subscribers will be the labouring poor, who, though unable to fee a physician as they should do, may yet have it in their power to contribute the weekly sum of 7d during their illness.The charitable subscribers will be members of the more affluent classes, who subscribe for the relief of the necessitous poor, and for every ten shillings subscribed, they w ill receive four tickets, one of which, when presented to the attending physician, will entitle one sick person to receive attendance and medicines for the whole period of one month, in which case the ticket is to be renewed.It is trusted that another source of support may be expected,\u2014that of donations from those who are desirous of encouraging the Institution, without deriving from it any advantage.Patrons have the right of recommending patients to the Dispensary.Clergymen of all denominations favorable to the Institution, will have the privilege of recommending patients.The benefits ensured by this institution will be secured to the labouring classes, upon their becoming sick subscribers, and to the poor upon their presenting either the recommendation of the Patron and Clergy, or the tickets of charitable subscribers.It is respectfully requested that a careful dis-crirnihationfwill be exercised by the Patrons, Clergy, and Charitable Subscribers, in the selection of really necessitous persons as the objects of their bounty.The Montreal Dispensary will be opened at the earliest possible time, due notice of which, and of its situation, will be given.Patients will be received between the hours of 10£ and 12 A.M., daily, Sundays excepted.As the benefits which this institution is calculated to confer upon the public, as well as upon the poor, cannot be questioned, it is earnestly hoped, and, indeed, confidently expected, that it will receive that cooperation and support which tqe friends of suffering humanity, in this city, have already, on so many occasions, cheerfully bestowed.N.B.\u2014A Committee of Management, consisting of Clergy and influential laymen, will immediately be formed, whose names with further particulars, will shortly be made public.Lists of Subscribers and Donors will be published when completed.Wm.Wright, M.D.Secretary.Montreal, Feb.19, 1850.Montreal Mining Company.\u2014The annual meeting of the Members of this Company, was held

Mr.C.Hopkins\u2019 (who opposes the lately appointed Sub-Commissioner of the Board of Works, Mr.Wetenliall) Address to the electors of Halton :\u2014 TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF HALTON.Gentlemen,\u2014Mr.Wetenhall having accepted an office of emolument under the Government, declared by its former possessor, the Hon.Ma!-com Cameron, to be unnecessary, and only a burden on the country, now returns to you seek, ing your sanction of his conduct.It is one of the greatest beauties of Responsible Government that no servant of the people can secure office without first obtaining their consent at the Polls, and it will be borne in mind that where, as in the present case, a great principle is involved in such sanction, it behoves the people to watch with jealous care, that they do not endanger, or in any way compromise their settled principles by re-electing a Representative who has used his position to secure a lucrative office.Retrenchment in the Public Expenditure has been for years demanded by the people, and the present contest will be watched with serious at.tention by the whole Province, since its result will be an expression of the opinion of one of the most intelligent and important counties on this great question.The return of Mr.Wetenhall will be regarded bv the country as your deliberate assent to the policy of the ministry in refusing to take even one step in a system of Retrenchment.I have viewed with the deepest concern, the inactivity of the ministry on this most important question, and if my return shall afford the opportunity, I shall give my most active and zealous support to a general system of Retrenchment in the Public Expenditure\u2014a system which shall spare no department and no office.[regard with the same concern, the course of the ministry in increasing to an enormous extent, the expense of the Judiciary, by the remodelling of the Court of Chancery, and the creation ot an ftjumeiy new and unneeded Court\u2014the Court of Coirumon Pleas,\u2014neither of which changes is of tbe description demanded by the people.I should anxiously exert my best energies in correcting these very serious errors, and should consider the task incomplete until Law Reform of the most decided and comprehensive character should be secured to the country.My often-expressed views on the Clergy Reserves and Rectory questions are unchanged.I should extend my most cordial co-operation in a vigorous attempt to obtain the repeal ot the Impe.rial Act, which now regulates the distribution of the Reserves, in order again to place them within the control of our own Legislature.On obtaining this control, I should support with my utmost power any measure appropriating them to the purposes of General Education, Local Improvements, or to any general purpose which Parlia.ment might agree upon, and which would benefit all classes of the community alike.With regard to the Rectories, it must be admitted, they stand on a ground somewhat diflerent from that occupied by the Reserve question, but I shall have no hesitation in affording my cordial assistance to the perfection of such a plan of settlement as will secure their reversion to the public, and remove a social distinction, which is injurious as well to the Church which now holds them, as to the religious Bodies who have been excluded from the doubtful benefit of a similar provision.When I add to this my ardent desire to see the country reaping the benefit of the numerous min.or reforms which are generally admitted to be required, 1 hope I have expressed with sufficient distinctness tlie principles with which I appear before you, soliciting your suffrages ; and if you do me the honour of placing me in a position where I may effectively advocate them, I need not assure you, I shall use my best exertions to have them fairly and promptly carried out.I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, C.Hopkins.Nelson, 9th February, 1850.Annexation in New Brunswick.\u2014We avail ourselves of the following analysis of a letter lately published at St.John, (N.B.,) which appeared in the last received issue of the Neiv York Tribune:\u2014 The St.John, (N*B.) Morning News of the 8th instant, contains a long and well written communication, advocating Annexation to the United Slates.The author is a business man of St.John, of considerable experience, and the article appears at this time in consequence of the approaching meeting of the Colonial Assembly, jjfhe writer begins by saying that free trade and colonial progress are contradictory terms.He ^\u2022hefi treats the sii-bject tmtixir various Loads :\u20141st, Its bearing on the condition of Colonies under the Protective system, and says, \u201c that as Colonists, they have no voice in imperial decrees.Their trade can be interfered with\u2014their business operations disturbed\u2014and their prospects blighted, without being reierred to, as a people, or even thought seriously of, in the matter.\u201d Secondly, the writer treats of their condition as Colonists under the Free Trade system, complaining that, with their great distance, and the small duty upon lumber, they cannot compete with their Baltic rivals.Their natural market is the United Stales, which is easy of access, and an outlet both for their ships and timber.Thirdly, the writer speaks of the necessity of separation from England, and the advantages likely to result.He says : \u201cLet the pen and not the sword be the vvea.pons with which to fight this battle.The cause, however valuable to us, is not worth the shedding of a drop of blood.Nay, we would not cherish an unkind thought towards the land of our fathers, however much the land of our birth demanded our patriotism.If we part as 4 subjects,\u2019 we shall meet again as friends; and under whatever form of Government destiny may plant us, we shall never forget the free constitution that gave us the liberty of proclaiming our wrongs and which taught the Government how to acquiesce in our desires.His fourth position is, that as Colonists they are \u201cstrangers to the world and aliens to the mother country.\u201d A Colonist he says is seldom known out of his own country, and even in the United States beyond New York, New-Brunswick is scarcely known ; whereas the most petty State in the Union is known to the American mind.The writer asserts that he does not believe that twenty members of Parliament know ihe names of.the Governors of British North America.Fifthly he speaks of the Constitutional light to make known their grievances, and provide a remedy ; and sixth-ly, he treats of the present state of New Brunswick and the vicinity.He says that it is his honest belief that during the past ten years the population of New-Brunswick has fallen ofl at least 10,000, and that the decrease is still going on ; a steady outpouring of the vital energies and life blood of the Province.Many young men have been obliged to turn their backs upon the mother country, and seek a subsistence in the neighboring Republic.Though Now Brunswick possess coal fields,[mountains rich in minerals, bays and rivers swarming with fish, land adapted to agricultural pursuits, and harbors that will compare with any in the world, yet they are unable to raise capital enough to build ten miles of a railroad.The writer concludes as follows.\u201c Surely it is not becoming the spirit of a Britoh, if we wieh to be known as such, to wait with arms folded, until the repast of which we mtr.to partake, is prepared by stranger hands ?Have we no taste of our own\u2014no particular inclination\u2014no ambition to make ourselves known, thought of, or cared for beyond the limits of a Colony ?If we be the best judges of our own condition, ought we not to be the best judges of what will improve it ?Tbe subject of the Colonies, no doubt, will be brought up in Parliament and discussed, at an early day.VVc conceive it to be our duty to be in the advance of the movement, that the people of England may know that New-Brunswick has something to complain of, and that she wishes her voice to be heard in Parliament, as well as out of it.Let the people of New-Brunswick speak Out Î Our Children and THOse who are to follow us demand it.\u201d Grand Exhibition of Art in 1851.\u2014The last New York Albion says :\u2014l£ The great festival appointed to take place next year for the purpose of comparing British and Foreign artists\u2019 and manufacturers\u2019 skill and genius, is commanding great attention.We may add that we know already of many American competitors for prizes entering into the needful preparations.A subscription has been commenced with extraordinary spirit.\u201d We are requested to announce that the night of Meeting for the Atheneum Ciub has been changed to Friday, for the accommodation of the majority of its members, and that the Club will meet to-niorrow evening at the usual hour, when an essay will be delivered and the debate on the following adjourned question will be resumed, \u2019\u2018Has war produced a greater evil on the world than intemperance ?\u201d Members are earnestly requested to avail themselves of the above arrangement, and by a general attendance display an interest in the Club\u2019s prosperity.Admission free.During the past year 750 miles of railway were opened lor traffic in England, 73^ miles in Scotland, and 114 miles in Ireland;

next meeting of the Council.2\u2014Alderman Gugy, Chairman of the Light Committee, brought up the following REPORT: Resolutions Adopted at a Meeting of the Lioht Committee, held on Monday, the 28th January, 1850, at which were present : Alderman Gugy, Chairman.Alderman LaRochue, Councillor Whitlaw.The Committee having considered the letter from W RFalconer,Esq., Manager ofthe New City Gas Company, dated tlie 22d instant, offering to enter into a contract with the Corporation, to Light the City, from the 1st March next, for £4 10s per annum, for each Lamp, it was Resolved,\u2014That a statement of the circumstances under which the Corporation may claim to obtain Light, from the New City Gas Company, at the rate of £3 per Lamp, be laid before the City Council, and a case prepared lor the opinion of Counsel ; and that such opinion be taken to ascertain what may be tlie proper recourse of the Corporation in the premises.Resolved,\u2014That it be proposed to the City Council lo adopt the foregoing resolution.(True Copy,) J.P.Sexton, City Clerk.To His Worship the Mayor, the Aldermen and Citizens of the City of Montreal.The foliowing is the Report of the Light Committee upon the proposition of the New City Gas Company to furnish Gas at £4 10s per Lamp, submitted in accordance witli tlie resolutions annexed :\u2014 To make it intelligible out of doors, it is necessary to premise that reference is therein made to two different Associations.One of these, called the Montreal Gas Light Company, heretoiore enjoyed a monopoly ; the other, called the New City Gas Company, seems to do so at present.In a letter, dated 21st May, 1849, Mr.Falconer, then, as now, the agent of the last named Company, remarks that at tlie period of the formation of that Association, \u201cthe Corporation was much annoyed with the management of ihe Montreal.Gas Light Company\u201d.These are the terms in which he conveys an undoubted truth, and from the connexion between the two sentences, it is manifest that in the one which follows, he intended to be understood to promise, that the N.C.G.Company would not annoy the Corporation.\u2014 Adverting, also, to certain instructions which, he says, were given by the N.C.G.Company to Mr.Norman Bethune, its then agent, Mr.Falconer leaves it to be inferred that the \u201c annoyance\u201d so suffered by the Corporation was the cause of those instructions.If this be true, it would seem to follow that the N.C.G.Company is pledged to refrain from annoying the Corporation.According to the present agent, his predecessor, Mr.Bethune, was instructed to make an offer to the Corporation, to be carried into effect when the arrangements ofthe Company should be completed, which they then, and for a long time afterwards, were not.If this be true, and if it be true that the Corporation, relying.upon that offer, having refused to contract with the other Company, is now exposed to suffer loss, that offer must be binding on the N.C.G.Company, wdtose anangements appear lo be now complete.Before coming to that offer, however, it is necessary to make another quotation from the letter of Mr.Falconer.\u201cThe original purpose of this Company (savs that gentleman) remains unchangeU\u201d.Now, ir me Corporation can prove, from the representations of the N.C.G.Company, that its original purpose was to prevent the Corporation from being \u201cannoyed\u201d and imposed upon by the Montreal Gas Light Company, the Council can surely\u2019 prevent the N.C.G.Company from following the very course which they affect to censure, by annoying and overcharging the Corporation.The offer made by Mr.Bethune, was to provide Gas at £3 per each lamp.It is true that the N.C.G.Company attempt to evade this consequence by alleging that it was treated with silent contempt,\u2014a position which, however, they cannot maintain.If that were a good reason, it would suffice ; but it seems that the N.C.G.Company had their doubts of its sufficiency, inasmuch as they have assigned another of a different and somewhat inconsistent nature.To show what the second reason is, it becomes necessary to quote two sentences from the letter of Mr.Falconer, of the 21st May last.\u201c When a number of gentlemen associated \u201c for the purpose ef forming the N.C.G.Com-\u201c pany, thiy entertained sanguine hopes that the \u201c City Corporation would second their efforts, \u201c and subscribe for a portion of the Slock, as at \u201c that time the Corporation was much annoyed \u201c with the management of the Montreal Gas \u201c Company\u201d.\u201c Had the Corporation aided this Company, as \u201c it had a right to expect, from the promises l£ made by several members, viz ; that the City \u201c Corporation would subscribe for a considera-\u201c ble portion of the Stock ; then this Company \u201cwould have found itself in a position to do \u201c better for the Corporation than it can now \u201c hope to do, for a considerable time to come\u201d.If these sentences mean anything, they mean that the offer made by Mr.Bethune, was not made to exempt the Corporation from annoyance, but in consideration, or, at least, under thejust expectation that the Corporation would subscribe for a considerable portion of the Stock of the N.C.G.Company.Upon this latter hypothesis, the Company were actuated by a pecuniary motive, which is not in accordance with the disinterested intentions for which they give themselves credit.But when he made that statement, Mr.Falconer overlooked dates, in many cases an unerring test of tiuth.Now, the Corporation had not the power to take Stock, andso far hack as the 15lh April, 1847, they refused to subscribe ; nor was it unit LI long afterwards, namely, the 13 th Sep.1847, that Mr.Bethune,pursuantuj his instructions, made the offer in question.Did tlie Company expect the Corporation lo subscribe for stock, five months, lacking two days, after they found that the Corporation neither would nor could do so ?Tltis pretension of the N.C.G.Company, then, is entirely destitute of foundation.After some négociation, on tlie 16lh Nov.1847, the Montreal Gas Light Company offered to light the city for five years at £4 per lamp.The works of the N.C.G.Company not being then complete, it was not in their power to take the contract immediately, but as they were expected to be in a condition to redeem their pledge in about two years, the contract with the M- G.L.Company was limited to that time.It is, or should be known to every member and officer in the Council, that the reason for contracting for so short a time, was the offer ofthe N.O.G.Company, to provide Gas at a much cheaper rate, namely : at £3 for each lamp, as soon as their arrangements should be complete, and it is known that there was no other reason.Now, however, that the contract with tlie Montreal Gas Light Company has expired, the N.C.G.Company would insist upon £4 IDs per lamp.This being ten shillings more titan the sum for which the Montreal G.L.Company offered to furnish light, and being thirty shillings more than the price for which the N.C.G.Company itself offered to do so, the Corporation has a right to complain.The following statement may be relied upon :\u2014 On the 13th Sept., 1847, Mr.Bethune embodied the instructions lie had received in the the following language.\u201c Having noticed in the public Journals of \u201c this city, in the proceedings ofthe Corpora-\u201c tion of the Glh instant, that it was proposed \u201c at the next meeting of ihe Council, it would \u201c be moved that His Worship the Mayor be \u201c authorized to enter into contract with the \u201c Montreal Gas Light Company, to supply the \u201c city lamps with gas, for five years, at the \u201c rate of four pounds per lamp.\u201d \u201c The Directors of tlie N.C G.Company \u201c are desirous of reminding tlie City Council \u201c that this Company was establishd with the \u201c view of keeping a wholesome check upon the \u201c monopoly hitherto enjoyed, and strenuously \u201c taken advantage of, by the Montreal Gas Light \u201c Company, and to assist the City Corporation \u201c in diminishing the burthen imposed upon the \u201c citizens, by reason of a high pr ce charged by Company for lighting the street lamps £l This check will also exiend to relieve intli-\u201c|Vidual consumers of a serious annua] ex-C£ pense, thus manifestly exhibiting the dis-\u201c interested motives of its projectors.\u201d \u201c In conclusion I beg leave to state that I \u201cam instructed by the Directors to declare \u201c that they are ready and willing to complete \u201c the arrangement proposed to (lie City Coun-\u201c oil in the month of May last, tolightthe street \u201c lamps atthe rate of three pounds cy.each, \u201cper annum, being one half the price then, \u201cand now paid to the Monireal Gas Light \u201c Company.This they will be able to do in \u201c the locality above mentioned, at tlie time l< above stated, and they have no doubt of be-t£ ing able to light nearly all the remainder \u201cof the city and suburbs before' the close of \u201cthe year 1849.\u201d \u201cIhe Directors therefore trust that after \u201c this exposition of their motives and instruc-\u201c lions, the City Council will not enter into \u201cthe contract with the Monireal Gas Light \u201c Company, above alluded to-\u201d As has been already said, the request and expectation conveyed in the last four lines, were realized : the Corporation did not enler into the proposed contract.The New City Gas Company were not then ready, it is true, but,trusting itnpiicily in their fuiitre disposition and ability to act up to their offer, tlie Corporation directed the agreement with the Monireal Gas Light Company to he so framed as to expire shortly after tho works of the former Company should be so far advanced as to enable them to furnish light.Tltis appears of record in the proceedings of the Council of which the N.C.G.Company ap.pear to have taken notice.It is an undoubted fact that but for tlie aforesaid offer of the N.C.G.Company, the Montreal Gas Light Company would have been bound to light the city for three years more, at £4 per lamp, as the latter Company had offered to do.Now, however, the New City Gas Company having purchased the whole stock of the Montreal Gas Light Company, the Corporation have once more to deal with a \u201c monopoly\u201d which insists on terms most onerous to the city.The questions then, for the public to decide, are the following :\u2014 Is this \u201c the wholesome check upon the monopoly hitherto enjoyed,\u201d which the N.C.G.Company proposed to exercise?If so, why have they themselves established a monopoly ?Is it thus that the N.C.G.Company proposed \u201c to assist the City Corporation in \u201c diminishing the burden imposed upon the citi-\u201czens by reason of the high price heretofore \u201c charged for gas by the Montreal Gas Light \u201c Company?\u201d If so, why do the N.C.G.Company now charge a higher price ?If, as the latter say \u201c the Montreal Gas \u201c Light Company took advantage of the City \u201c Corporation\u201d, do not the N.C.G.Company do precisely the same thing ?Can that conduct be right when adopted by the N.C.G.Company, which they censured as wrong in the Montreal Gas Light Company ?In fine is this conduct a proof of those \u201cdisinterested motives\u201d of which they boast?Whatever may be the answer to these questions, it is quite clear that the interposition of the New City Gas Company may cost the Corporation £200 per annum, which would have been saved if the Council had accepted the offer of the Montreal Gas Light Company.This is a sum, however, which the Light Committee cannot recommend the Council to sacrifice without an effort.The whole nevertheless respectfully submitted.A.Gugy, Chairman.A.LaRocque.John Whitlaw.Committee Room, City Hall, ) 9th February, 1850.\t) The considérai ion ofthe preceding Report was deferred till the next meeting of the Council.On motion of Councillor Beaudry, seconded by Councillor Snaith, it was Resolved,\u2014That the several Committees of the Council be requested to submit claims for temporary appropriations, till the annual appropriations for the civic year begun on the 1st, can be voted.On motion ot Councillor Grenier, seconded by Councillor Homier, it was Resolved,\u2014That tlie Mayor be authorized to lease the premises, formerly tlie old fish market and Police Station, in two paris or divisions, namely, that fronting on St.Paul Street for £125, and that fronting Commissioner Street for £100 per annum.Alderman Gugy gave notice that at the next meeting of the Council, he would move that Aldermen Bourret and Lyman, and Connciilor Macfariane being stockholders in the New City Gas Company, have no right to speak or vote upon the questions relating to that Company, now before the Council.After which the Council adjourned.SALES IN BANKRUPTCY.The following are the prices realized at the sale of F.Perrin\u2019s property, at the Bankrupt Court yesterday\u2014I.Aaron, Auctioneer.1st.\u2014Two contiguous

yelping amen to tho Downing Street ukase.We were not very far wrong, when we said Canada was not prepared for annexation.The vassal spirit of our public journals would do credit to tlie latitude of St.Petersburg, or Constantinople.Annexation is now, according to the articles of faith of these cringing things, an exploded fact.\u2014Downing Street has annihilated our political and national necessities, by five paragraphs, and three quarters ol a yard of red tape.Is it so ?Time and accident are mighty elements in all public events,\u2014 these will work wondrous changes.Canada has heard Downing Street thunder often before ibis ; but the loudest peal that ever roared has found an end.Reciprocity is now the word.Very good ; keep it up.Reciprocity to put down Annexation.Loud and louder sound the note.If we get it, it will be a very good beginning; but if we do not, what will be the end?Reciprocity, by all means! We must have il, Male )lm has gone for it.He will faring irto us in a hand basket.Malcolm dislikes slavery.That is his pecoo/far uant.ty.He would have nothing to do with slave holders.\u2014Well, what is he to say to the membets from the Southern Stales ?Ask my Lord Elgin.But no ; we do not wish to annoy great men.This is what Malcolm is to say.Give Canadian Reciprocity of trade, or Annexation must take place, your slaves will be set free, by means of the Canada anti.slavery votes.SupportjRecipro-city, then, and perpetuate slavery.This, reader, is to be Malcolm\u2019s trump card for the South game.Is it not a pretty business ?Did we not tell Ma\u2019colm that all his anti.slavery protestation was mere cant, and base humbug?Did we not tell him lo leave such dirty work to the Globe ?\u2014We did ; and yet ho has gone on his slave-trade mission to Washington, to bargain for Reciprocity at the price of the blood and freedom of three millions of his black fellowmen ! Such is anti.annexation morality! Such is British connexion patriotism ! Such is Malcolm\u2019s abhor-rance of Southern Slavery.But who told us all this?Why, we have it from head quarters.Malcolm never puts his candle under a bushel ; he told half a score the whole programme which was agreed on at the family dinner, on last Friday night.Wo live in a great age, amidst great men.We should not wonder if Malcolm brings back with him old Zack Taylor, in a band box, he is so cute, and ready handed.But Malcolm must not let out his secret on the other side of the lines.The Yankees will easily be calched doz^ ing.They are a very soft class of things.\u2014 Toronto Mirror.The Independent of to-day, contains the promised Manifesto from the Toronto Annexation Association to the People of Canada.The docu-, ment bears the signature of the Secretaries of the Association, Messrs.Knecshaw and Willson.It purports to slate the case of Canada ; and arguing on the facte, comes to the conclusion that nothing will do but Annexation ; and this it proposes to secure by no other than peaceable means, and only with the consent of tlie Mother Country.The style of the Manifesto is calm and moderate ; and it is perhaps somewhat remarkable that it contains not the slightest allusion to F.arl Grey\u2019s Despatch.As the Globe of yesterday shows something like a disposition to dispute the legality of this annexation discussion, we feci bound to express the opinion that the Government will best consult the interests of all parties by abstaining from all foolish and tyrannical attempts to interfere with the freedom of discussion, so long as the parties conducting it propose to.effect their object solely by constitutional means.\u2014 Toronto Examiner.COMMERCIAL.We have nothing worth publishing to-day under this head, the market being in a state of inactivity.Sale of Groceries at J.B.Smith & Co\u2019s stores, on thc20th February, by J.G.Shipway:\u2014 3 boxes Soda Biscuit, 2}d ;
