increased rapidly, every year, since its commencement, and notwithstanding the general depression in the Retail Trade, for some time back, the present year forms no exception.The Subv scribers have no hesitation in saying, that the Establishment is the most flourishing and extensive one of its kind in Canada, and that it offers in.ducements to parties desirous of embarking or extending in the RETAIL HARDWARE LINE that are rarely to be met with.A LEASE of the STORE and such other parts of the PREMISES as would be required, can be obtained from the advertisers, for three years, from the first of May next, and they have no doubt but that a favorable arrangement could be immediately made fora further Lease, if required.The Subscribers take this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging the patronage of their numerous Retail Customers, and beg to inform them, that as with their assistance, they have been enabled to establish a business which is too .good to close, they will carry it on as.heretofore, unless they meet with a desirable successor, for whom, or themselves, as the case may be, they beg respectfully to solicit a continuance of the valuable support hitherto

of Chronic complaints, arid with good effect.It has proved very useful in Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, and Scrofula.Weakly and nervous persons, and those in whom there was an increased action ol the bowels and kidneys, took but half a tumbler at a time, repeated every hour or two.When possessed of more strength, and there existed a tardy state of the secretions, the water was more copiously partaken of ; and in cases of Plethora, where a disposition to codgestion predominated, with a tendency to fever and irritation, it was taken to the extent of several pints a day.It would be a most happy circumstance if \u201c Mineral 'Waiters,\u201d generally, were to supersede, and be substituted for, the thousands of vile and pernicious compounds, under the style of Patent Medicines, with which a certain class of the community gorge themselves, to their manifest injury, and to the advantage, solely, of the unscrupulous manufacturers.WOLFRED NELSON, M.D., President Col.Phys.& Surgs.C.E.Sold by

Slavery has a guarantee still stronger than these and they affect only the dynasty which reigns in the prejudices of caste and color, which in-there.This revolution, if I understand it, begun ( duces even large majorities in all the free States in the Senate a year ago, when the representatives j to regard sympathy with ihe slave as an act of from the Southern States assembled here and ad- ! unmanly humiliation and self-abasement,although dressud their constituents on what was called the j Plnlosophy meekly expresses her distrust of the aggressions of the Northern States.No révolu* I tion was designed at that time, and ail that has happened since is the return to Congress of legislative resolutions, which seem to me to be conventional responses to the address which emanated from the Capitol.There can be no revolution without a cause.What cause exists here ?It is said that the slave States are in danger of losing political power by the admission of the new State.Well, Sir, is there anything new in jliat ?The slave Slates have always been losing political power, and they always will be while they have any to lose.At first twelve of the thirteen States were slave Stales.Moreover, the change is constitutionally made, find tho Government was constructed so as to permit changes of the balance of povver, in obédience to the changes of the forces of the body politic.I sue nothing of that conflict between the Southern and Northern States, which seems to be on all sides of me assumed.Not a word of menace \u2014not a word of anger, not an intemperate word has been uttered in any Northern legislature.They firmly but calmly assert their convictions, but at the same time they assert tlicir unqualified purpose to submit to the common arbiter, and for weal or woe abide the fortunes of the Union.If there be less of moderation in the Legis- | latures of the Sooth ?It only indicates on which side the balance is inclining, and that the décision of the question is near at hand.I agree with those who say that there can be no peaceful dis- j solution,\u2014but that disunion, dissolution, happen when it may, will and must be revolution ! I dis.cover no omens ol Revolution .The predictions , of the political astrologers do not agree as to the manner in which it is to occur.I see nothing but a broad difference of opinion here and the excitement consequent upon it.The Constituent members oi this Democracy are the only persons who could subvert it; and they are not the citizens of a metropolis like Paris, or of a region subjected to the influences of a metropolis, like France, but they are husbandmen, dispersed over this broad land, Ironi the Ocean to die Rocky Mountains, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.And this people are now, while we are discussing their imaginary danger in peace in their happy homes, and as unconcerned and even as uninformed of their peril as they are of events occurring in the moon.When the founders of the new Republic of the South come to draw over the face of this Empire a long of between its parallels of latitude or longi- 1 tude, their ominous lines of dismemberment soon to be broadly and deeply shaded with Iraternal blood, they may come to the discovery then, if not before, that the national and even the political connections of the region embraced (orbids such a partition ;\u2014that its possible divisions are not Northern and Southern at all, but Eastern and Western, Atlantic and Pacific, and that nature and commerce have allied indissolubly for weal and for woe the seceders and those from whom they are to be separated ; that while they will rush into a civil war to restore an imaginary equilibrium between the Non hern States and the Southern Stales, that a new equilibrium had taken its place, in which ull these States are on tho one side and the boundless West on the other.When these portentous lines shall bo drawn they will disclose what portions of this People are to retain the army and navy, and the flag ol so many victories ; and, on the other hand, which poition of the people is to be subjected to the new and ominous imposts, direct taxes, and forced loans and conscriptions, to maintain an opposing aim and an opposing navy, and the new and hate banner of sedition.And then, if not before, the question will be discussed\u2014 What is this institution of Slavery, that it should cause such unparalleled sacrifices, and disastrous uffleiion ?And this will be the answer\u2014When the Spaniards discovered the West- asserted natural superiority of the white race, and confidently denies that such a supefiortty, if j ustly claimed, can give a title to oppression.There remains one more guarantee.New ^ta.tes cling in closer reliance than the older ones to the federal povver.The concentration of the slave power enables you for long periods to control the lede-ral government with the aid of the new States.I do not know the sentiments of the representatives of Calilornia, but my word for it, if they should be admitted on thîs floor to-day against your most obstinate opposition, they would on all questions really affecting your interests be found at your sidei With these allies and aids io break the lor\u2019oe of emancipation there will be no disunion and no scccessiou.I do not say tuat there may not be disturbance, though 1 do not apprehend even that.Absolute regularity and order in administration have not yet been established in any government, and unbroken popular tranquility has not yet been attained in even the the most advanced condition of human society.There are many well disposed persons who are alarmed at the occurrence of any disturbance.Even Senators speak ol the Union as it it existed only by consent, and, as it seems to be implied, by the assent of tlie Legislatures of the States.On ihe contrary, the Union was not foundediu voluntary choice, nor does it exist by voluntary consent.A union was proposed to the Colonies by Franklin and others in 1754 ; but such was iheir aversion to an abridgement .ol their own importance respectively, that it was rejected even under the pressure of a disastrous invasion by France.A union of choice was proposed to ihe colonies in i775; but so strong was their opposition that they went through ihe war of Independence without having established more than a mere Council of Confederation.But with independence came enlarged interests of agriculture, absolutely new interests ot manufactures,\u2014interest s of commerce, of fisheries, ol navigation, of common domain, common debts, of common revenues and taxation, of the administration of justice, ot public defence, ol public honor\u2014in short, interests of common nationality and common sovereignty\u2014interest which at last compelled the adoption of u more peifect union, a national government.The genius, talent and learning of Hamilton, of Jay and ol Madisou, surpassing perhaps the intellectual power ever excited before for the establishment of a Government, combined with the severe but mighty influence of Washington, vvere only sufficient to secure the reluctant adoption of the Constitution that is now the object ol all our affections and of the hopes ofmankind.No wonder that the conflicts in which that Constitution '^as horn and tho almost desponding solemnity of Washington in-his Farewell Address, impressed his countrymen and mankind with a profound distrust of its perpetuity 1 No wonder that while the nVuriiiurs of that day are yet ringing in our curs, we have cherished that distrust with pious reverence as a national and patriotic sentiment.But it is time to prevent abuses of that sentiment.It is lime to shake off that fear\u2014for fear is always weakness.The Union, the creature of necessities, endures by virtue of the same necessities, and these are stronger than when it was produced,\u2014stronger by tho sixfold increase of the society living under its beneficial protection,\u2014by the augmentation ten tbousand times of the, fields, the workshops, the mines and the ships of that society, of its productions of the sea, of the plough, ol the loom, and i of the anvil, in their constant circle of internal i aiid international exchange,\u2014sironger in the long i rivers penetraiing regions before unknown, stronger in all the artificial roads, canals and other channels and avenues essential not only to trade, but to defence,\u2014stronger in steam navigation, in steam locomotion on the land, and in telegraph communications unknown when the Constitution Capital Punishment.\u2014The Literary Garland for this Month contains an able article on the subject of Capital Punishment.Ihe writer takes a rapid review of the history of the worlds in which he demonstrates that the barbarism of nations is indicated by the bloody severity of iheir laws, and that a decline of physical punishments eoexisis with the progress of civilization.The improvements in prison discipline, by the recognition of the principle that kindness is infinitely more potent than cruelty in the correction of criminals, are adduced as affording the most favorable characteristics of the present era, when compared with past ages.The writer then informs us of what was done in Montreal for the abolition of Capital Punishment during the last session of Parliament.A number ot petitions were presented to the Legislature, which were referred to a Com mil tee.This Committee was prepared to report favorably 5 but the burning of the Parliament Buildings prevented them from bringing the subject before the House.The writer next quotes from a cogent article in the Nova Scotian, in which the u blood for'blood\u201d doctrine is successfully combatted by the authority of some of the most approved Biblical commentators.The.demoralizing effect of public executions are brought before us, by some startling narralives of scenes which have been exhibited in different countries.Amongst the rest is an extract from the Br itish Colonist, detailing the execution of the soldier, Smith, who was publicly strangled in this Christian City last Fall.The case of Smith reminds us of Jones, the soldier, who was condemned for murder in Montreal, about a year ago.\u2014 He would have been hanged undoubtedly, had it not happened that a professional friend of ours was present at the trial, and detected the insanity of the prisoner by his countenance.The Judge charged dead against him ; and the Jury convicted him accordingly.By the exertion of pur friend, howe ver, the Executive was induced to appoint a Commission for the purpose of examining into the case ; when the man was found to be totally insane.This is only one case amongst hundreds, which might be referred to, as proving that it is impossible for fallible human tribunals, to determine whether certain criminals should be sent to the Asylum, or to the Gallows.We make great profession of being a Christian people ; and certainly if Christianity depended upon the number of our churches, we are very consistent ; but were a being from another world to visit us, and observé the number of poor homeless, .friendless, and foodless children who.beg in our streets, were he to visit some of our jails, and see that they are calculated rather to make and confirm criminals, than to reform them, were such a being to witness such a scene as that of the execution of the Mannings, we shouid think that his faith in our Christian profession, would be very limited ihdééd.\u2014 It is rather remarkable that so many are willing to laud Howard and Mrs.Fry to the very skies, and yet how few7 do we find at all emulous of imitating them.\u2014 Communicated.Newspaper Presses.\u2014Messrs Hoe & Co.have lately invented for the Philadelphia Ledger a new press on which that paper is printed.Tlie type are adjusted around a large cyfinder, at every revolution of which four small cylinders connected with it, give off four impressions of the paper- They are now building for the New York Sun, a press with, eight of the small cylinders, which, will give off'eight impressions at a revolution, and at a low speed will produce 20,000 impressions in an hour.The machinery delivers the sheets but it requires a person at each cylinder to put them in.An Improvement in Lithographing.\u2014Any thing new in the fine arts is usually hailed with pleas\u2019» ure, and when combined with the advantage.which real iuiproveuienys ought to give,\u2014 ihat ol multiplying the facilities that place them within the reach ol the less wealthy,\u2014it is tlie more worthy of consideration.That copies of the finest steel engravings should be produced so exactly similar to the original that the engraver himself cannot detect the difference, is somewhat surprising.We have seen such transfers made.The impression is token on chemically prepared paper from the steel plate.This paper is then placed on the stone that has first been cleaned, and then is passed through the press.When the.paper is removed from the lace of the stone by water and a sponge, the reverse of the impression is seen : this is then etched in, after which the ink is applied, and the impressions may be taken, to the number usually of 3,000.Nor is this the greatest wonder.An impression has been taken on stone from a print without injuring that print.and then others again from the stone.Whether this invention may not be used for mischief, we will not say.It certainly has one excellence, that copies of the best engravings may be lumish* ed at a very cheap rate.Mr.Ackerman, now of No.20 Fulton street, is the proprietor of the establishment where this work is done.\u2014IV.Y.Journal of Commerce.

affairs boldly in the face, that concurrent circumstances, not the mere will of individuals or of classes, force upon us, the elective principle broadly applied, as the sole hope ol stable government, or Indeed of any government at It is desired by the liberal, because he believes that the popular controul should be as direct as possible.It is desired by the conservative, because he hates frequent and violent change ; because to secure steadiness it is necessary to have some principle, though that principle be not that which he would prefer; tire people are far more conservative, than those who trade upon the peoples name ; and far less incbned to arbitrary violence towards their opponents, than those who, under pretence of the peoples wrongs, revenge their own disappointments.We may look out at the meeting of Parliament, for some strange developments.Unless we greatly mistake the signs of the times, another minister of the Crown must shortly leave the Canadian Cabinet; and a complete break up of existing parties is not far off.The clergy reserve question is one which, we think, ministers will not and dare not touch, and that will probably be the turning point.TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 2, 1850.[CT See First Page.The Situation.\u2014When Mr.Blake accepted the thirty pieces of silver, Mr.Peter Perry,as all the world knows, offered him-eelf as his Parliamentary successor.Tho Ministry, accustomed to have their behests servilely followed, by the open-mouthed expectants of the Assembly, believed themselves strong with the Country, as with the Country\u2019s pretended Representatives.They therefore rashly ventured\u2014with as little dignity as caution\u2014to dictate to the constituency of York County, the refusal of the candidate who ventured to hold opinions in common with the Annexationists, of Montreal.The head of the Government descended from that self respect which he owes his office, to warn Mr.Perry, and through Mr.Perry the electorsofthe Third Riding, that he, Mr.Baldwin, was opposed to Mr.Perry\u2019s views.Mr.Hincks did the same thing, but more insolently.The Globe followed suit on behalf of the rest of the corps, who had not expressed themselves in their individual capacity.A few misérables in the county accepted the orders thus given them.They waited on their old neighbour with a declaration well known to be dhecily opposed to his opinions, and they warned him that unless he signed the lie, he was not to be elected.Mr.Perry, ,03 far as we recollect, did not think it worth while to reply to any of these demonstrations.He went on buying the \u2018\u2018 vvete and flower\u201d of all the country, stating very plainly in his advertisements, that though ready to do his best for his Agricultural neighbours, he could not at present give \u201c Annexation prices ; no how they could fix it.\u201d In the meantime he canvassed very quietly, hut also very actively, as an old coon, used to tho world and able to make his way in.it, of course knows how.In due course, he was returned by acclamation, and there was sadness within the walls of Elmsley House.It was then discovered by the Globe that all the opposition it had given to Mr.Perry was hut apparent, that at bottom, it and its paLons had cherished an ardent cordiality for the new member of Parliament, and that in truth this was the best possible world, and Mr.Perry the host possible member of Parliament.In the meantime Annexation was declared to he defunct, or only patronized by a very few people.Time, however, passed on : Mr.Chabot was elected ; Mr.VVetenhall was appointed, but not elected ; the Radicals of Hamilton published their views, wlueli were found to correspond very well with- some ot those laid down by the League.The Markham meeting took place; Mr.Perry made his speech ; and the Globe has found out for the second time, that Mr.Perry and Mr.C.Hopkins are Annexationists.This notable fact was published to the world in the last issue but one; and in the last we have the same journal calling upon the.Witness to give its support to the present Ministry, as the best means of carrying out its (the Wil-Tiess') views\u2014the Witness having been the special object of the Globe\u2019s abuse for some time past.All these vagabond proceedings of the Ministerial organ are very small potatoes in themselves.They are, however, more important as indicative of the state of political parties at the moment.It is evident that Ministers, having tried dictatiorc on thé .constituencies and cajolery on the Representatives, have at at last found that-neither insolence, nor cant, are sufficient for the1 business of governing by a majority.They have declaied themselves in open opposition to that portion of .their late party, whoare sufficiently independent to insist upon their own measures, even from their own men.They discern that Perry and Hopkins are Annexationists, just when they find that they must give a bad name to those old dogs of theirs, which having barked to so good purpose, it is how convenient to hang.They are at last in open opposition to the demand for Elective Institutions and Retrenchment.We know very well too, that they dare not legislate on the principle of religious endowments, in the manner for which past pretensions have led their followers to hope, Recently attaining to power, with complaints of numerous hbiises, some real, some imaginary ; they have increased the worst evils of the Country instead of remedying any of them; and within six weeks of the assembling of Parliament have not indicated one measure of improvement to meet the thousand and one evils which they summed up so glibly three short years ago.The only sign which has yet been given in this direction is on behalf of Mr.Merritt, who, on the report of a By-town newspaper, is supposed lo have some great economical scheme in his head, to save .£80,000 per annum.But if any one he simple enough to believe this hint, he has only to read the Globe and Pilot to be convinced that the rest of the cabinet have no part or lot in Mr.Merritt\u2019s plans; for both.these papers have been exerting themselves to prove the truth of Mr.Hincks\u2019s assertion at Oxford, that no reduction of expenses is possible.In the meantime, the cry for the abolition of the religious endowments waxes stronger in Upper Canada ; whiie the entire Province, echoed by the sister Provinces, resounds with calls for the other two great reforms which ministers oppose.Elective Institutions : Economical Government.These are the demands which the people make of their legislatures.These are the truth and justice, which they require at the hands of their representatives\u2014truth instead of the shams, which now make our system of government the mere instrument of oppression in the hands of rival factions : justice, instead of the robbery necessary to sustain a policy, which must fall at once unless supported by a constant succession of purchases.Such influences as were set at work to gain the Quebec election, may still triumph for a time by means of a coalition of interested parties ; but what- What is to be done with the Department or Public Works?\u2014This is a question of which the solution will not be an easy one for Her Majesty\u2019s Provincial Government.To the Commissioner recently appointed, we can only allude in terms of respectful regret ; but it is plain that his post has been vacated by the awful visitation that we deplore.How is it to be filled ?Is there any one in Upper Canada rash enough to accept the post, which a constituency like that of Halton has declared to be a swindle?If any man could be found poor enough or brazen enough to do so, is there any probability that he could be reiurned for a county in Canada West?It is plain that the Commissionership must either go to the Lords\u2014which is much the same as siy-ing,must goto the dngs,\u2014or else must becon-ferred on some gentleman from Canada East, such for example as Mr.Cauchon or Mr.Chauveau, who, we are sure, will, like their old friend Mr.Chabot, consider thomselves, in virtue of their liberal politics, quite equal to any engineering that may be required.The Lords, it is true, would be a convenient remedy ; but the disposal of the £750 in that direction would give rise to an inconvenient confession.If greatness be thrust on an inhabitant of that dignified sphere, it will be too plain that there was no hope lower down, where an election is the necessary consequence of a nomination.And yet, spite of the difficulty, there must fie a new Commissioner.Malcolm Cameron said he was useless and expensive ; hut the Ministry told their late colleague at once that Canada could not be kept above water with one less hand at the pump.Sink we must without two Commissioners, and as Mr.Chabot can scarcely be considered so good as one whole Commissioner, we are in danger of strangulation every hour.It would be odd after all if this worshipful government should find out after all that Malcolm was right, and that they can do wilhouta fresh hand.Yet stranger things have happened.Two years ago Lord John Russell told the people of Great Britain that he could not do without more income lax ; but upon hearing that he must, he tried to make a shift and has got on pretty well.VVe are in good hopes yet, therefore, for the country and the Board of Works.The following is the Report of the Light Committee of the Corporation, regarding the existing difficulties between the Gas Company and the Corporation, which have, for the last few weeks, condemned our streets to darkness during the night.It is to he hopod \u201c the high contracting parties\u201d will come to some amicable settlement and that shortly ; but, whether or no, the citizens are taxed lo pay for the lightingof the streets, and no disagreement with the Gas Company will, we think, be accepted by them as a valid excuse for their not being lighted.THE LIGHT COMMITTEE APPOINTED ON THE 12tii INS PANT, BEG LEAVE RESPECTFULLY TO REPORT : That at their first meeting held on the 18th instant, there was laid before them the accompanying letter from W.R.Falconer, Esq , Mana.ger of the New City Gas Company, dated the 13:h instant, written in reply to a letter from the City C erk, dated the Hth instant, and informing him that \u201c The Gas Company cannot accept the offer of the Corporation, to light the Street lamps at £4 each, as the tender made on the 22d January last (for £4 IDs per lamp), was at the very lowest rate.\u201d Most, it not all tiie circumstances connected with the negotiations between the New City Gas Company, for lighting tho City lamps, which re.suited in the offer ot £4 per lamp made by the Council to the Company, and the relusal of the latter expressed in the above leiter, have been already laid before this Conned, in reports made by the predecessors in office of yoar Committee, and especially in that adopted by the Council on the 2Uth ultimo.Nevertheless, as the facts therein detailed may not be familiar to many of the newly elected members, and the public also may conceive themselves entitled to pronounce upon tiie questions at issue between the New City Gas Company and the Corporation, and to determine to which party the equity aodjuslice of the matter belongs, your Committee take the liberty of again submitting to the Council, a succinct hut scrupulously correct narrative of all the facts which have led to the existing difficulties with the New City Gas Company, and to the present great pub.lie inconvenience of having no lights in the Streets ot night.The narrative is submitted with but tew il any of those comments and observations which so naturally suggested themselves whilst it was being prepared, and which, under other circumstances, it might he considered the duty of your Committee to have offered to the Council in connexion with it ; the desire of your Committee having been not to awaken harsh or unpleasant feelings, but, merely lo enable the Council and the community generally, to decide with candour and impartiality to whom is justly attributable, all the ineonyeni.ence and loss that may arise from tho absence of public lamps iu our Streats.The New City Gas Company of Montreal was incorporated by Act ol Parliament, the lUih and 1 Ith Vic.cap.79, on the 28th July 1847.In the preamble to the Act, it is staled amongst the rea.sons urged lor passing it, that it was \u201c for the pur.pose of supplying the City with gas in greater quantity, of belter quality, and ai a cheaper rate, than the same had theretofore beetisupplied\u201d; and also, because the Corporation of Montreal \u201c had signtlied their assent to the establishment of the Company, and to having tiie powers thereinal* ter given them with regard to the opening of the Streets, and other matters count cted with the establishment,j locality and construction of the works\u201d.It is thus obvious that so far from feeling inimical to the New City Gas Company, the Corporation was lavourable to its establishment, and actively contributed towards that event, by making those representations to the Legislature in its behalf, without which, the Company would not, must probably, have been incorporated.Before the Company was incorporated, and up to that period, its affairs were conducted by a Provisional Committee.On the 9th March, 1847, that Committee proposed to tiie Corporation of this City, to subscribe for \u201c'one half, or as much of the stock as they might deem it advisable to subscribe for\u201d ; and were informed in reply \u201c that the Council did not then possess power to do so, hut that in a petition, then about being presented to the Legislature, the Council would ask authority to subscribe for such number of shares as might be deemed advisable ; and ultimately to purchase out the whole of the Stock, should the Council consider that the inlerest of the city demanded it.On lire 9ih April, 1847, the Provisional Committee referred to, petitioned tho Council to bo permitted to open the streets of the city, to lay down pipes wherever required, so us to enable the New City Gus Coupanv, it will be optional with the Corporation utthis City to assume tile wiiole-of the slock of tils Company, within ten years from lite date of it: charter, thus manitesily exhibiting the disin'ersted motives of its projectors.In conclusion, I beg leave to state that 1 am instructed by tiie Directors to declare, that they are ready and wiling to complete the arrange* ment proposed u the Citv Council in the month of M.iy last, to Ighi the Street lamps at the rale i tiie world.hem fits may he derived from it not only by lire citizens of the Union, but by all mankind.1 entertain an abiding confidence, that we pos- \\ sers the material to present at the proposed Ex* hibttion such combinations ot science and art us will gratify the highest antictp ttions of that class of men who have been, and will commue to be, thecreators of weal.h.and through their inventions and labours, tiie civilizers of mankind throughout We are pleased again to see L\u2019Avenir among the journals laid on our editorial table.This most spirited of the Ftench journals appeared again after its discontinuance, on account of the fire by which its press ami types, were destroyed on Saturday last.Nothing can be more elegant than tiie typographical appearance of our revived contemporary, and the selection of articles in this first number of the new series show that there will be no lack of the discrimination, courage, and ability, which formerly distinguished its career.We notice especially tliat the celebrated speech of Victor Hugo is reproduced, and we do so, because we have had a very great number of applications for copies of the Herald in which tiie translation appeared.Those of our friends, who have been disappointed in obtaining the speech in English, and who are capable of appreciating the greater beauty of the original, will, therefore, have an opportunity of obtaining copies now, and if they, instead of taking one copy only, will become subscribers to the journal, we believe they will not regret their money hereafter.We may also mention that we have reason to believe L\u2019Avertir has a circulation which makes it a good medium for advertisements, especi-ally of goods adapted to the purposes of country merchants and storekeepers.New Journal.\u2014We have received the prospectus of a new journal, to be published in Bytown, by Mr.Wrn.Harris.It is

Sunday, opposite the city.It appears that a party in attempting to cross lost their horse and sleigh, the ice having given way.Toronto University.\u2014On Saturday, the 23rd ultimo, an \u201c open

readers to the advertisement of tiie Mansion Hotel, Buffalo.This Hotel will be found well worthy of patronage.It is situated in the most central part of Buffalo, and close to all tiie places of business.Mr.Clifton, late of the Clifton House and of Clifton\u2019s Hotel, in litis cily, is the manager, and will make any of our good citizens comfortable should they visit the Mansion in Buffalo.It will be seen from our advertising columns, that an amateur performance of more titan common attractions, takes place on Thursday evening, at the tiieatre.The lessee, upon this occasion, is understood to be a gentleman well known in our li'er,try circles, tor whom the \u201cGarrick Club\u201d have kindly volunteered Iheir services.Company4o aJuunco ihtir works in the course of tho

permission asked for wasgranted by the Council, upon a recommendation made to that effect by the Light Gommiitee.In the month of September, 1847 the gas used in the public lamps was furnished by the Montreal Gas Light Company ; and the Company was paid therefore, at the rate of jCb cy.per annum per lamp.This was in virtue of an agreement or contract with the Company for a period long pre-^ously elapsed, but which had been continued by the tacit consent of all parties\u2014the Corporation from time to time seeking to obtain a reduction in the amount paid for the gas, and the Company refusing to make any deduction unless the contract were renewed for a long series of years\u2014to the piojudiceof the New Company about being established, and clearly with u view to prevent the New Company from competing with its old\" er rival, for the lighting of the city.On the 6ih Sept.1847, notice was given by a member of the Corporation, that he would move at the next meeting of Council, to enter into a contract with the Montreal Gas Light Company, to light the city for live years at £± cy.per lamp.\u2014 This notice of motion, together with st-me remarks on the subject made at the time in Council, was given to the public in the proceedings of the Corporation published in the several newspapers of tho city ; and elicited the following letter which was read to the meeting of the Council held on the 13th of the same month,\u2014the meeting at which the motion was to have been made.S New Citv Gas Company, I Montreal, 13ih September, 1849.To the Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens oj Montreal.Gentlemen,\u2014Having noticed in the public journals of this city, in the proceedings of the meeting of the Corporation of the 6th inst., that it was proposed at tile next meeting of the Council, it would he moved that his Worship the Mayor be authorised to enter into u contract with the Montreal Gas Light Company, to supply the city lamps with gas, for five years, at the rate of three pounds per tamp.I have been instructed by the Board of Directors of the New City Gas Company of Montreal, to state, for the infoimation of the City Council, that they have engaged a practical Engineer of high standing in Great Britain (who has put up the new gas works in Glasgow, and lias since put up two gus works in Germany, viz., at Carisruhe and Nnrenberg, and who is also competent to erect water works,) to conduct and carry out their works; aiid that he has been for some time past engaged in preparing the necessary plans and specifications That the Company has made the necessary arrangements in England, Ireland, and Scotland, for a supply of the necessary gas holders, main pipes, and other apparatus for completing their works.That their orders for castings, to arrive this fall and early next spring, exceed seven hundred tons in weight.That the Company has advertised for tenders for the completion of two gas tanks; and that their works generally will be commenced immediately, and carried on lo completion with all diligence.That their Engineer is of opinion he can light all that part of the city lying between McGill Street and Dalhousie Square, by the month of October or November, 1848 ; and that, in the course of the season of 1849, he will be able to light the greater portion of the remainder of the the city and suburbs.That the works of the New City Gas Company will be constructed upon the latest and most approved principles, furnishing gas of a purer quality than what has hitherto been supplied to this city.That their main pipes will be laid down of such size as to insure an ample supply of gas, to meet the increased demand arising out of increased population, as well as tiie increase ol consumption which will naturally arise from a reduction in prices, and its application to cooking and heating stoves, now extensively used in Gieat Britain.That their views in these respects extend over a period of many years to come.That the late improvements in the manufacture of gas have in Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, done away with the great nuisance of smoke and unpleasant smell.And that by a new plan of filling the main pipes, at a considerable increased expense, by reason of the joints being turned and bured, nearly one.hall of the time will be saved in doing so, Thus accelerating the business of the Company, and diminishing the inconvenience to the public in opening the streets.That the Directors r f the New City Gas Company are desirous of reminding the City Council that this Company was established with the view of keeping a wholesome check upon the monopoV ly hitherto enj >ytd, and strenuously taken advantage ol by the Montreal Gas Light Company, and to assist the City Corporation in diminishing the burthen imposed upon the citizens, by reason of the high price charged by that Company for lighting the street lamps.This check will also extend to relieve individual consumejs of a serious annual expense.The Directors beg leave also to remind the City Council, that by a clause in the charier ol the of Three Pound! currency each, per aniimu ; being one half theprice then, and ii«ivv paid to the Montreal Gas light Company.Th*s they will be able to do inthe locality above mentioned, at the time abovestated ; and they have no doubt of being able to li;ht nearly all the remainder of the City and Suburbs before the close of the year 1849.The DirectO\u2019s, therefore, trust that after this exposition of tlfcir motives and intentions, the City Council will nut enter into the contract with the .Montreal Gas Light Company above alluded to.I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, You- most obdt.humble servt., Norman Betuune, Manager.This letter, together with the motion for a contract lor five yetrs with the Old Company, was referred to the Light Committee.For a more perfect apprehension of facts, it may be well to observe here, that the then Man*» ager of the Old Gas Company, had expressed a willingness to reduce the price of Gas to £4 per annum per lamp, provided that a contract were given for a long period of time, and he had repeatedly declared that seven years was the shortest period for which he would so reduce the price of the gas.These declarations, however, having all been verbal, on the 13ih October, 1847, a letter was written to him requesting he would furnish a statement of the terms upon which the Montreal Gas Light Company would be willing to contract for lighting the city.To this letter he replied on the Kith ot the same month, that the Company would he willing to enter into a contract for five years at £4 per lamp.In December following, the Light Committee having considered, as they then declared, \u201c ih offer of the New City Gas Company, reiterated in the letter from the Manager thereof, accom panying their Report to light the public lamps for one half the amount then paid to the Old Com pany, so soon ls their works would be in operation\u201d, and also the offer of the Montreal Gas Light Company to enter into a contract for live years, reported to the Council as follows \u201c I hat there are now upwards of 382 gas lamps in this city, and the number would continue to be aug mented in proportion as the pipes were extended by the Gas Company.The New City Gas Company state that they will be prepared to light all the public lamps in that part of the city situated between McGill Street and Dalhousie Square by the month ol November, 1848, and all the remain, dcr of the lamps in the course of the next season To accede to Mr.Furniss\u2019 proposition, and enter into a contract with the Montreal Gas Light Com pany would, therefore, be to pay a premium ex\u2019 ceeding £1200 currency to the Company for the contemplated reduction from £6 to £4 on part o the lamps lor one year, and on the residue for only two years time\u201d.And the Committee being indisposed to acquiesce in such a proceeding recommended that the Montreal Gus Light Com pany «hould be offered the sum of £4 per lamp lor such time as the Council might desire to have the city lighted by the Company.On the 4th February, 1848, the Council adopted the Repor of the Light Company ; and in doing so, author ized the Mayor to enter into a contract with the .Montreal Gas Light Company for two years from the 1st March following.At that time it was openly declared in Counci and gen rally believed there and elsewhere, tha Mr.Furniss would not enter into the proposed contract, or any contract for a period less than years ; and that the lights would be discontinued from the 1st of March then next, until the New Company would be apply to supply the city with gas.This expectation, however, proved to be erroneous, for Mr.Furniss accepted the offer of the Council and entered into the proposed con tract.Matters continued in this position till the month of March last year, when an account for £417 lor gus supplied to the city for the quarter ending on the 1st of that month, having been presented by the New City Gas Company, the Light Committee directed tho Company to he written to, requesting they would please communicate the circumstances under which the claim was made, the contract for lighting the city lamps having been entered into with the Montreal Gas Light Company an not with the New City Gas Company.In reply the Committee was informed lor tho first lime, that the Montreal Gas Light Company had transferred to the Ne At City Gaa Coir.p.»y tl.oi.as well as their existing contracts, on the 1st November, then last; and that the contract for lighting the city being included in the sale, the Council would please take notice of the transfer, and settle with the New Company accordingly.\u2014 Thereupon, the Company were written to, informing them that although the Montreal Gas Light Company were promised the sum ol £4 currency, per annum, per lamp, for lighting the City lamps, the Committee respectfully «conceived that the same amount, ought not and could not be asked by the New City Gas Company, and should not be paid to them, and that their reasons lor so conceiving were as follows, viz :\u20141st, Be cause the New City Gas Company had always professed to have been formed tor the benefit of the Citizens of Montreal, and without any desire or intention of realizing a profit from the Stock of the Association ; and in their printed prospec-lus they had\u2022 announced themselves prepared to supply the public of Montreal with Gas at one-half the charge they had hitherto paid.2nd, Because in a memorial made by the Company to the Corporation in the year 1847, to be permitted to lay down pipes in the streets of the City, they had off red to light the public lamps for £3 currency, per annum, per lamp, so soon as they should begin operations ; and the then Chairman of the Company, when moving in the City Council, the adop.lion of the Report made on that memorial, dis^ tinctly pledged the Company to the offer made in the proposal, whenever it should be in the power of the Corporation to allow the Company to light the lamps.3rd, Because in a communication made by the then manager of tho Company in September, 1847, the Company reiterated the proposition made by them to light the lamps at £3 each.And the time having now arrived to fulfil the public professions, and redeem the written offers made by the Company, from time to time, to furnish light at one-half the price hitherto paid for it, the Light Committee felt persuaded the Company would cheerfully avail themselves of the occasion to do so, by causing ihe charge made on the account furnished for light since the 1st Nov.to be reduced from the rate ot £4 to £3 currency per lamp, per annum, and the lesser rate to he continued thenceforth, and until it might be in the power of the Company still further to reduce the price of Gas supplied to the city.This reduction the Company refused to make, assigning as the reasons for their refusal, that no answer had been reiurned to Mr.Bethune\u2019s letter, and that shortly after it was written, the Corporation had entered into a contract with the Montreal Gas Light Company which compelled the New City Gas Company to make arrangements for the supply of Gas to the citizens only ; and h id also been the means of inducing the latter company to enter into several arrangements that they did not at first contemplate.The contract made with the Montreal Gas Light Company, in 1848, expired on the 1st March, instant, and tiie New City Gas Company having refused to continue lighting the public lamps un* less the price paid were increased to £4 IDs currency per lamp, and other new and stringent conditions were inserted in the contract, this Council on the 28th ultimo, authorized the Mayor to contract for three years with the Company, at the same price and upon the same conditions as then existed with the Montreal Gas Light Company.The letters referred to in the first paragraph of this Report were written to and from the Company in consequence of the passing of the above resolution.Your Committee having thus laid before the Council all the facts connected with the subject respectfully recommend that the Council adhere to the resolution of the 28th February last; and dispense with Gas Light altogether, us they are now doing, u .til the New City Gas Company , accede to the proposition made to them i neon for\" rnity with that resolution, on the 1st instant.The whole nevertheless respectiully submitted.A.LaROCQUE, Chairman.EDWIN ATWATER,

feet, a boy remained buried for the space of an hour and a half.The lad was missing and could not be lound, when a little boy mentioned, that he had seen him only a'shurt lime before where the snow had fallen.A shovel was procured to remove the snow, and alter a little time a cry was heard, which led to the discovery of the boy, who bad cried out in consequence of the shovel striking him.When the lad was extricated his right arm was found to be fractured.We understand he is doing well.\u2014 Gazette.Defalcation in Quebec.\u2014We ere informed that a dèfàlcation to the amount of £1400 has been as.cert.ained in the Quebec Fire Loan funds, and that the guilty party has absconded.We are put in possession of names and circumstances, but as the Quebec Journals make no mention of anything of the kind, it is possible our informant may be in\u2019error,\u2018although he says it is well known and generally spoken of in that city.We defer particulars in the mean lime.\u2014lb.the technical point, which it may be remembered was mooted for the defence.The counsel for the prisoner contended that the stepfather being the guardian or tutor of the abducted, could not be said to have abducted her frum himself.This was especially true in Canada, where the civil law prevailed ; for under that law the wife was, in an especial manner, under the puissance maritale; and therefore could have no one under her puissance.Mr.Justice Rolland gave Judgment.The Court considered that the second marriage of the mother of the girl did not deprive her of any of her rights; and that the kind of tutorship, which the step-fulher acquired, made him responsible for the duties of the tutorship rather than invested him with any right, lit England, where the rights of the husband over the wife was much greater than in Canada, there could be no doubt that the husband, in the present case, would be consideced capable of the crime of abduction.The following is the result of the Sessions : Julie Deschamps, Louis Potvin, Bernard Lynch, James Smith, Patrick Devlin, larceny : three months imprisonment.William Freeman, George Peoples, Mary E.Jolliffe, Sophie Harris, William Murray, Daniel Malone and Bridget Kane, larceny ; six months imprisonment.Joseph Daigneau, Daniel Donovan, Jos.Coté, horse stealing : one yen\u2019s imprisonment.Bridget Quinlan, Geo.Rice, James Speerman, James McNamara, Francis Kelly, James Hall, Thomas Kiteeshaw, Laurent Gagnon, Ambroise Brunelle, Méoii St.Thomas, Onêsine Durocher, Charles, larceny : seven years in the Penitentiary.Robert Brown, having coining implements, six months in the Common Jail.Eliza Clark, obtaining money under false pretences, three years in the Penitentiary.Peter Morrison, forgery, four years in the Penitentiary.Michael Coleman, abduction, three years in the Penitentiary.John Ingram, murder, to he hanged on the 3rd of May.Mr.Johnson app\u2019ied to the Court for stay of judgment in the latter case, offering two affidavits in support of his motion.The Conn rejected the application, and after the usual proclamation of silence, dèmand-ed whether the prisoner had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed on him.Prisoner merely sent up a paper, which he asked to have read ; but this was declined, their honors expressing an opinion that its publication would do him more harm than good.Mr.Justice Aylwin then addressed the prisoner.He told him that the circumstances under which the deceased had lost his life were such as made the offence committed nothing short of legal murder.Prisoner had fired from the highway common to- all parties or an individual who at most was commuting the offence of trespass\u2014an offence which the law conceived was adequately punish, ed by a fine of £5.In thus putting to death a fellow creature, he had given no opportunity for defence, such as he had before a Jury of his country, aided by tho defence of the most able Council.He gave no opportunity for application for mercy, such as he was still at liberty to make to the Crown.In addition to these circumstances, prisoner had aggravated his offence by making his son his accomplice instead of a stranger, and thus brought one of Ins children into the dock alongside of him, and another to give evidence which placed his own life in jeopardy.After exhorting the prisoner to give his whole attention to his religious duties, his Honour pronounced the awful sentence; That you, John Ingram, be taken from this place to the Common Gaol of this District, there to remain until Friday, the third day of May next, and thence on that day,tothe place of execu ion, and there be.hanged by the neck until you are dead, arid may God A1 mighty have mercy on your soul.The prisoner was removed from the dock in a violent state of agitation, having fallen on his knees to receive the sentence.There have been seventy-three indictments laid before the Grand Jury, of which fifty-five were returned as true bills, and eighteen ignored or rejected.The unusually largi amount of business arises from the want of the usual Gail delivery last August, when no business was transacted on account of the cholera.REGIMENT OF

he had enjoyed every facility for defending himself; no fact had been withheld from his Counsel, which would b^ar on his defence.He had received an examination on a previous occasion, when he had the fullest opportunity to give explanations.Was this silence proper for an innocent man ?Would he have permitted a character for honor of 50 years standing, to have suffered for a moment ?The Counsel for the accused had brought forward four propositions, as the mam grounds of defence.1st.They have brought witnesses to prove his character ; the Government was not disposed to deny that he had previously maintained a fair character.2nd.That it was not an unusual thing for him to be locked up in his room.This fact, too, had produced a single witness to testify to.3rd.It was attempted to show that his conduct had not been unusual, and to prove his whereabouts during the week after the disappearance of Dr.P.4th.The defence attempted to answer the whole case by showing that Dr.P.was seen by several witnesses, and at several different places, on the 23rd November, subsequent to the day he was seen to enter the College.This was all the defence had to offer.The principal business of our laws is to protect human lile ; \u201c Plate it with gold, it breaks the strongest arm of law , Clothe itin rags, and you may puncture it with a straw.\u201d Look at the impossibility of a false accusation against such a man as this.The Attorney.Gene*» ral then proceeded to examine the character and force of circumstantial evidence, and then the points of.law bearing dn the same.He then read cases in point from the authorities, and finally proceeded to examine Mrs.Rhodes\u2019 testimony.He thought she was mistaken in supposing she had seen Dr.P.at the time stated ; she was probably mistaken as to the hour, and took another man for Mr.P.Was it unusual for a gentlemen to return a bow to a lady, and one who might have mistaken him ?One pregnant fact, in regard to this tes imony is, that Mrs.R., although a pious parishioner, of Rev.Francis Parkman, said not a word of what she had seen, until her daughter come back from Lexington on Tuesday ; another is, that Dr.P.was walking with a gentlemen.Where is that gentleman?\u2014 why no voice from him ?If Dr.P.was roaming under aberration of mind, this gentlemen could have taken care of him.Mrs.Grenotigh\u2019s testimony was very considerate and conscientious ; I wish all the rest had been as careful.She states that she is not confident and positive that it really was Dr.P.whom she saw.The learned Attorney-General went into a very entertaining and instructive discussion on the subject ot proving personal identity, and related many anecdotes of singular mistakes.But if this \u2018\u2018 Parkman Alibi,\u201d as it is called, was admitted, it does not shake the case.Where was Dr.W.that day ?He was there in his Laboratory, dinnerless, and alone the whole afternoon.He might have murdered Dr P.before 2 o\u2019clock, or he might have again enjiced him there, and murder^ ed him after 4 o\u2019clock.I come to the question of the iden'ity of the remains : If the circumstances which prove the identity ore slight, they are many.If they are, in each weak as a thread, to.ether they are strong as a cable.It is, in the order of Providence, that if there could not be a more striking resemblance than we hare brought here, 1 without producing us perfect a conviction as if we had brought the entire'mortal remains of Dr.P.before you.I approach this'subject reverentially.I refer you to the long labours ol that conscientious man Dr.Keep, to produce a set of teeth for Dr.P.to wear at the opening of that College, founded by his beneficence.That this very set of teeth should remain to reveal the murder of that founder of the Co,lege, to vindicate the law, I regard as the finger of Almighty God.That from the smouldering remains in the ashes of the furnace, the pieces should be fished out from which that trueson of science, Dr.Wyman, should reconstruct the very jaw which bears the unmis-takeable peculiarities of Dr.P\u2019s, is a wonderful Providence.Looking at the person in the culprit\u2019s dock, himself a devotee of science, I have been disposed, in sickness of heart, to ask\u2014 Increase 1850.1865 E.M.Leprohon, Inspector.PROVINCIAL DEBENTURES.Receiver General\u2019s Office, Toronto, March 22, 1850.Amount of Provincial Debentures payable 12 Months after date, with Interest, at 6 percent.Previously issued.£658,337 10 0 Issued during week ended this day.2,105 0 0 Total Issued.£660,442 10 0 Less received for Public Dues since 1 at issue, July 17,1848.£44.5,540 0 0 Less amount ma.lured and re-deemed in.Cash exclusive pfi,nte.rest.£ 60,715 0 0 In actual Circulation.(Signed) £506,255 0 0 .£154,187 10 0 E.P.Tache, Receiver General.Bank Dividends.\u2014The Boston Banks on and after Monday next will pay $766,050 in dividends, being an increase of $23,000 over the lust payment.( CHICAGO MARKET\u2014March 21.Sales 5000 bushels winter wheat, to city mills at 100c, and the refusal of 9000 additional taken on the same terms.Fair samples of Chicago spring command at St.Louis 90c, Illinois river winter 115c.METEOROLOGICAL TABLE.Mar.2 3 Weather.Thermome- Barometer.\tter.f M.3 P.M |7 A.M.3 P.M.7 A.M.[3pm.{29,52 29,45 Ovc\u2019st.Overcast [29,41 29.32 Snow.Fair.29,36 29 30 Fair.Fair.129.38 29,34 Snow.Snow.S29,57 29,55jFair.,Snow.i29,56|29,44 Fkir.Fair.(29,52|29,48 Ovc\u2019st.Fair.Mean Temp.30° x.\u2014Bar.29.44 inches.BIRTH.In this city, yesterday afternoon, Mrs.George Matthews, of a daughter.DIED, At Toronto, on the 20th ultimo, Mr.James Fraser, aged 24 years.\u201c Has star-«*yed science wandered there.To bring us only darkneos ami despair?\u201d No !\u2014Science has vindicated what that false son of science has debased !\u2014Scientific men have appeared here, throwing aside all feelings of class ; \u2014have given themselves to the search of the truth.As truth, they have restored the body to.show where each minute particle of bone fits, and to show that these were paris of the same body, and in no part dissimilar from that of Dr.P., but bearing some most striking resemblances.I now come to consider the hypothesis set up for the defence.What was the hypothesis?Dr.W.has been compelled to admit, in order to avoid suspicion, that he did meet Dr.P.at that time.He claims, and our evidence contradicts, that he paid him money.Thus far they admit,\u2014beyond they deny and rush into hypothesis; but they say, he might have committed suicide,\u2014he might have been robbed, or some other thing might have been done.We are not here to consider possibilities.We might suppose that Dr.Holmes killed Dr.P.in the Lecture-room, or make any other extravagant supposition, but we want hypothesis that has something to support it.The case first comes to rest on the supposition that he was murdered outside and brought into the College\u2014per-* haps to get the reward ; but it is an absurd supposition, because they say this accounts for the Dissecting-Room being open.This must have made the work very expeditious for it was Friday night that the Dissecting-Room opened.Another.\u2014that Dr.P.had-gone roaming about for some time ; that he was brought in there murdered.After slander began to breathe that Dr.W.was the guilty man, how could Dr.W.remain in such a community as this, with all the sympathies of the University in his favor, when his innocence could be established by confirming such hypothesis ?I think that open door had something to do with the remains ; bui it was in connection with Dr.W., whose whereabouts was not ac.counted for until one o\u2019clock, though his daugh, ter usually breakfasted with him.With what fa.cility Dr.W.flitted between Cambridge and the Medical College.Boston, April 1.\u2014The trial of Professor Webster has been brought to o close.After the Attorney General had concluded On Saturday, Mr.Webster arose and made a few remarks which related to the acid stated 10 have been purchased by him to remove the stains of blood in his laboratory ; but which he says was for domestic use, purchased at the request of his wife.lie said tho Counsel had been pressing him to keep calm, and his calmness, he considered had borne against him.In regard to the money he paid lo Dr.P., he had saved it up from time so time.He kept it in a small trunk, but unfortunately no one saw him take it out.The reason of excluding persons from his laboratory, was in consequence of apparatus having been spoiled by the students when they had been admitted.Every day and hour of the week following the alleged murder, his whereabouts could be accounted for.Relative to the letters sent Marshal Tuckey, he denied having anything to do with thenii Chief Justice Shaw then delivered his charge to the Jury, which was considered bearing too much in favor of the Government.The Jury was out about two hours, when they returned a verdict of \u201cGuilty.\u201d On hearing which, the prisoner sank back in his chair, with his hand on the railing, and his face on his hands.When he recoverod from the shock\u2014-he said to officer Jones, \u201c Why are you keeping me here to be gazed at ?\u201d He was immediately carried to the gaol and locked up lor the night\u2014the pre- "]
