LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.Monday, May 23.Mr.Chabot stated in answer to Mr.Robinson, tliat the government did not intend to propose durino- the present session any measure for the construction of the Sault Ste.Marie Canal On motion of Mr.Stevenson the report of the committee of the whole on the Bill to incorporate Prince Edward Railway Company was received.Also on motion of Mr.Richards, the report of committee of the whole, on payment of Judges, &c.in unorganized tracts of country'.Also, the report of committee of whole on salaries of county Judges, Upper Canada.The following bills were read the third time on motion of Mr.Richards To facilitate duties of Justices with respect to Indictable Offences.To facilitate duties of Justices with respect to Summary Convictions.To protect Justices from vexatious actions.On motion of Mr.Sanborn the bill to amend the law relative to patents was read the second time.On motion of the Hon.Dr.Laterriere the House went into committee on the bill to amend the law relating to practice of Physic and Surgery in Lower Canada.The hon.member spoke at some length in support of his bill but in a tone of voice that did not reach the gallery.Mr.Robinson opposed the bill.He did not think it necessary'.Mr.Rose agreed with the hon.member (Mr.Robinson) but he opposed this bill with much reluctance as he believed the hon.member (Dr.Laterriere) had set his heart upon it.He (Mr.Rose) was in favor of free trade in medicine, and held that the people were the best judges of whom they should employ.While, however, he held that opinion, he believed a medical man ought to have a liberal education.Mr.Gamble opposed the bill with reluctance, not however because he believed in free trade in medicine, but because he did not think it necessary to make the holders of certain diplomas to pass another examination.He mentioned the injurious effects of ignorant quacks practising medicine in his district, and contended that the public ought to be protected from such impostors.Dr.Valois supported the bill, contending it was the only remedy to protect the country from quacks and impostors.He thought the hon.member (Mr.Rose) had very little regard for the lives of his constituents when he advocated free trade in medicine.Mr.Dixon opposed the bill, but reprobated the doctrine of free trade in medicine.Mr.McDonald was not distinctly audible, but was understood to speak against the bill, aud to say, that he was supported in his view of the case by several distinguished members of the medical profession in Canada.He also read from various authorities in support of his view.Abuses had not occured under the present law, and that made him (Mr.McD.) think the object of the bill was not the protection of the public, but a crusade against a Canadian institution.He concluded by moving in amendment, that the committee rise.Mr.Brown opposed the bill.He held that no case had been made out in support ot it, and before such a bill was passed a clear case ought to be made out, to show that it was necessaryHe read from the evidence taken by the committee, contending that it was not enough to induce the House to pass this bill.CoI.Prince, who seconded the motion that the Committee rise, explained his reasons for doing so.He proceeded to contend that there was no need to make the holders of medical diplomas from England undergo an examination before a Provincial board, as it would be insulting to them.Mr.Drummond expressed himself strongly against the free trade in medicine theory ; but, still he could not agree in the opinion that Canadian Physicians were inferior to those of the old world; and he held that a Canadian board ought to be the best judge of persons qualified to practice in Canada, and deal with the lives of Canadians.If Physicians at home refused to pass an examination before a Canadian^ Board, why let them stay at home.But the object was not to prevent competent persons from practising, but only to repress impostors.Reciprocity in medicine was not granted to Canadians in England, and until it were, he would never consent to give reciprocity, in Canada.He would never consent to place Canadian Physicians in an inferior position to English ones, but if the reciprocity were granted in England he would then regard more favorably a similar proposition in Canada.Mr.Brown said the Attorney General was mis taken.The licentiates of M'Gill College and others were allowed to practice in Britain, except within ten miles of London, the city of Edinburgh, and the city of London, and the city Dublin.Dr Valois said, not in the same manner as here, and he stated how, but the reporter did not hear his words.Mr.Brown said it was thought degrading England for a physician to deal out medicines as an apothecary.Mr.Drummond said he held that a Canadian board of examination was necessary.So long as Canadian physicians could not go to England and practice upon shewing their diploma, he could not allow English physicians to come here and do so.Mr Christie of Wentworth, made some remarks but the noise around the reporter\u2019s box in the House, being louder than his voice, he was inaudible.Mr.Cauchon urged postponement ; saying that he looked upon this entirely as a Lower Canadian measure, and there were very few Lower Canadians present that evening, and he would not discuss the merits of the case that evening.Mr.Sherwood spoke against the bill, as affecting the rights of Her Majesty's subjects within her dominions.Any subject, therefore, had a right to give his opinion.He had that day seen a proposition from the most respectable medical men, surgeons and physicians, in England, for putting the medical profession on a better footing, that proposition was to have one general board of Examiners, to examine all persons desirous to practice any branch of the profession.\u2014 He would be ready to adopt the same principle if that law passed and have one general board for both parts of the Province.He would then let any person, who had passed the English board come in and practice, and he had no doubt they would reciprocate in England.He contended that the London medical school was now the best in the world, and that any Canadian student might, by the proper step, obtain a diploma there by a short visit to Europe.Such a distinction would he believed have the effect of obtaining confidence for the person who possessed it.Mr.Cauchon was not in favor of subserviency to English schools, though he was ready to do to them what they did to us.They would not let Canadians practice without examining, and why should people from England practice in Canada.He was in favor of protecting men who devoted themselves to science.Mr.Hartman believed every man had a right to practice ; if persons had sufficient confidence in him to employ him.He spoke at some length ; but in a tone that seldom reached the gallery, he appeared, generally to be maintaining the point already stated.He also supported it by reading several extracts from a work giving an account of the law regulating the medical profession in the United States.Dr.Laterriere replied.Mr.Brown opposed the bill declaring that it would cut off from practice in Lower Canada every licentiate of Upper Canada.The motion for the committee to rise was then carried.« The House went into committee of the whole on supply on the estimates of 1852.Some conversation arose on the item of £300 to James Higginson, for an old claim for lands sold to another that he was entitled to.The item was finally carried without division.On the item of £10,000 for the Deaf and Dumb Asylums coming up, Mr.Hincks said, that £5000 were for Upper Canada, and £5000 for Lower Canada.He deemed it proper to state that this sum would not be sufficient, and the government intended to propose another £5000 on the estimates for 1853.The government had not determined upon the sites, as they did not want to pay for land, and they expected that some large towns would make an offer of land gratis.Mr.Brown held that some detailed information ought to be given before such a large sum of money was voted.Voting large sums in that loose manner, was but giving the Government so much corruption money.He also thought it a petty affair, to hold the sites up to the eom-petition\u2019of the different towns, to save the price of lands.Mr.Gamble looked on this, in the same manner as the £30,000 vote of the other evening, and considered it as most improper.He contended that a committee ought to be appointed, and apian and system adopted, and sites found before money was voted.Voting money in that way was accumulating power in the hands of the Government.On the item of £10,000 for an Institution for juvenile offenders coming up, Mr.Hincks said it would be desirable to erect this at some central place, as Kingston, and that perhaps more than one might become necessary.The very system of railroads would affect the question a good deal.The item was carried after some conversation.Committee rose and reported progress.The Lake Superior Silver Mining Company\u2019s Bill was read a second time, on motion of Mr.Stuart, and referred.The House resolved, into committee, on motion of Mr.Christie of Wentworth, on the bill to amend the Upper Canada Mutual Insurance Act which was passed through with some amendments.And the House adjourned till Wednesday.of LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.May 21st, 1853.The motion for the address to his Excellency of which the Hon, Mr.Boulton had given notice, coming up, The Hon.Mr.DeBlaquiere called the attention of the Speaker to the fact that this motion was out of order, inasmuch as that House could know nothing of the proceedings in another place till they came before them.The Hon Speaker said that any assent or dis-;u the other House was out of s^nt,to.proceedings in °rHon Mr.Boulton could not conceive that there -was any impropriety in taking notice of a .proceeding in the House of Assembly which aimed at the very existence of that House.\t.Hon Mr.Walker expressed himself in a similar way, saying that when the other House was plainly violating the privileges of that House, u as it mot to he noticed till it came into the Upper House Hon.W.Morris thought that if the House of Commons interfered with the privileges of the House of Lords, that the Lords would remonstrate.A few years agb a member of the Com- mons moved some proposal tending to prevent the vote by proxy, and he was immediately called order by a minister of the Crown, as pursuing course highly subversive of the privileges of the second branch.If that was so, how much more true was it as respected a measure tending to subvert the entire constitution of the Legislative Council.Theie could be no doubt that any bill concerning the Legislative Council, the second branch of the Legislature, ought to originate in that House, and that any proceedings that effect in the other was a high breach its privileges.He called upon the hon.members, who were put into these seats as into places of honour to defend the rights which they were put there to maintain.In spite of the special pleading which he heard just before, it must be remembered that the House had last fall notice of what was to be done from the Provincial Secretary, and the resolutions that had been lately moved by that hon.gentleman had been laid on the table of the House.In Todd\u2019s Parliamentary Law it was laid down that all bills affecting the rights of the Peerage must originate in the Lords, and could not be amended in the Commons.At page 160 the same thing was laid down.The bill for settling the Peerage in 1719 began in the Lords, and in Blackstone it was said that bills affecting the Peerage must begin in the House of Lords.He might have noticed many things growing out of the irregular proceeding of introducing this bill in the other House, especially in respect to the unpleasant language which had been used in the other house with respect to that one\u2014the Council.On this head he read an account of the means by which one House could obtain redress for words spoken in the other House, the authorities, however, remarking that certain circumstances, which they pointed out, made it difficult to succeed in thus obtaining redress.He then read various statements to show that it had been held that one House could not move for returns relative to the staff of the other House ; could not move for the sale of the printed papers of the House of Lords, &c.Here, however, the House sat day after day, while its privileges were assailed by the other House.He recommended the mover of the resolutions to _ ield to nothing but a majority of the House.His resolutions were well drawn, temperate, and were not calculated to wound the feelings of any body.He thought they odght to be put into the hands of His Excellency, and that he might then search records, and fmd-that the present measure was utterly opposed to the constitution.He then alluded to the fact that it had been more than insinuated that the hou.members of that House had only to be made sure of plenty of cash to induce them to come down, and not only to change its own constitution, but also to change that of the other House.All had been pressed to come, and many had come twice\u2014more than could be hoped for, considering all the circumstances of the case hut this was not enough.It was stated that one hon.gentleman had been told he must come-that all bis expenses would be paid.He then pointed out that a bill to secure the independence of that branch of the Legislature had been once before passed through the Council ; and that, he said, was clearly the constitutional way of making a change, if a change were to be made.He thought it would not compensate members for subjecting them to this humiliation to give them some of the real California, as the price of the gibes and jests in the other House.He concluded by begging the Council to pass the address.\u201d Mr.Boulton thanking the hon.gentleman who had just sat down, declared he wanted no exhortations to induce him to press his resolution to a vote, the resolution he thought was moderate, calculated to preserve good feeling between the two houses.In what other way was the Council to notice the clear breach of its privileges which was going on in the other House?It was no trifling matter for one branch of the Legislature to propose to annihilate another of its co-ordinate branches, and it would be sanctioned in no other Legislature in the world.He trusted too, that in spite of what was said of the Council elsewhere, they would let the other branch of the Legislature know that branch could express its opinion as formally and as firmly as elsewhere.Hon.Mr.DeBlaquiere again called the Council to order and for the enforcement of the Speaker\u2019s opinion.Hon.W.Morris contended that the Speaker\u2019s opinion was not to be given without the House hearing what had to be said, even perhaps to enlighten the Speaker.The Speaker said that the Speaker decided without debate ; then there was an appeal, if any hou.gentleman thought right, and on that appeal there might be a debate.Hon.Mr.Boulton then respectfully appealed to the House against the Speaker\u2019s judgment.After repeating some of the arguments he had already used, he concluded by saying that he always desired to bow to the opinion of the Speaker ; but that it must be remembered that the Speaker was a member of the Government and had of course given his opinion already, aud perhaps it would be inconsistent in him to allow the resolution to pass.Hon.Mr.Vigkr could not understand how the affair could be declared irregular now, when it had been already more than once before the House, as if it were in order.Hon.G.Boulton said the hon.Speaker was certainly mistaken ; it had been once before the House, and postponed.The Hon.Speaker had forgotten that.The Hon.D.B.Vigkr conceived it a most extraordinary thing, after the House had had regular notice of what was going forward in the other House, evidently for the purpose of their acting upon it, that they were now told they could do nothing in the matter after they had been called togèther from all parts of the country.He expressed himself, however, if we understood rightly, in favour of a further adjournment.The HonMrQuESNEL desired adjournment; on the one hand, they were told that the present motion was opposed to the privileges of the other House; on the other hand, that the other House was committing a breach of the privileges of that House.There was, however, a committee of privilege of that House, and he thought the first thing was to refer the question to that committee.The Hon.Mr.Walker was convinced that the proceedings in the other House were not only a breach of the privileges of the House ; but an attack on the constitution, which there must be some means of answering on the part of that House.He conceived the reason of the Council having in some measure declined in public opinion was the manner in which it had been swamped.If it desired to continue the check upon the deliberations of the other branch, the Council should be increased in numbers and limited to a certain number ; but then the measure should come from the Upper House itself.If this were not desirable, the House should bo dissolved.The Hon.Speaker, from the floor of the Conn-cil, admitted that the one House could not interfere in the domestic concerns of the other, such as the payments of its employées, &c.; but he believed that in other matters of larger importance the thing was something different, and that the government would be prepared to defend their measure, on the ground that necessity had no law, and in times of necessity that must be done, which, in other times, would not be correctly done.However, at present, he had to do only with the point of order.Now the House regularly and officially had known nothing about this address till it came before the government that day, and it was because he was a member of the government that he did not interfere till his attention was called to the irregularity, for in that House, unlike the other, the Speaker was not bound to interfere till he was called upon to do so, being not the official guardians of the rules of the House.Then returning to the question of the rights of the House, he said that it was true that bills relating to the peerage were originated in the Lords ; but the peerage was one thing and the House of Lords the other ; and he denied that the constitution prevented either branch from originating any measure it thought proper concerning the constitution of the other.Let not hon.members fall into absurdity.Suppose the Council were as bad as it had been falsely represented.Was it likely that people so bad and so feeble would be the first to attempt their own reform.It was free then for any branch of the Legislature to propose measures with respect to the other, and it was certainly within the powers of the Council, even before any measure was introduced into the Assembly, to legislate on the supposed object of that measure ; but what it had no right to do was to say it regretted\u2014to praise or to censure the proceedings of the other House.What was there so wrong in the discussion of a question which had been before the country since 1791.\u2014 Pitt had declared the constitution of Canada to be an experiment, which, if a failure, might be changed, and in Upper and Lower Canada, the principle of an elective Council had always been discussed.The precedent, cited by Mr.Morris were, therefore, very good, but not applicable to the case in point.Suppose that Council should one day think that it would be better for the Governor to be elective\u2014would it be unconstitutional respectfully to express that opinion in an address to the Imperial Government?He thought not, and so he believed the Council had no right to express disapprobation of what the Assembly was now doing.He was ready, however, any day, and in any proper manner, to discuss the propriety or impropriety of a change_ Let the address then be dropped, and let resolutions be brought forward as strongly worded as the Council might please ; he had not the least objection to take it.He believed that the Council was as well constituted as it could be by the elective principle.But would any one deny that some changes were necessary?If g0 iet the journals be examined, and let hon.gentlemen see how many times there was a failure to make up a quorum.He did not mention this to cast reproach on members prevented by imperious reasons from fulfilling their duties ; he knew that members when they accepted their duties had no right to expect that they would be transported from Kingston to Montreal, thence to Toronto and then to Quebec.But still the fact was there that a quorum could often not be found, and it was plain that this could not go on long When the Government took the resolution to pay hon members, they could not be consulted, because they were not present ; but when hon.gentlemen now said that if they wanted pay they would have -asked for it, they should remember that some change good or bad was necessary This it was that destroyed public confidence \"in the Legislative Council, and now let hon.members say if this was not a good reason.If hon, gentlemen would consider the subject and would sfiow that what had bitterly been complained of would not occur again that would be all right_ But he had always held that the way to be respected was to do right, rather than to insist upon doubtful privileges Upon the whole he persisted in his opinion ; but should the decision be against him, he should submit not only as a duty but with pleasure.After some further remarks from Hon.George Boulton, Hon.Mr.McKay had formerly brought forward resolutions deprecating the manner in which the House had been swamped ; not by this Government, but by all Governments.That proposition was then sneered at ; but now seemed to be gaining ground, since there had been time to think over it.That there must be seme change was plain.He thought, however, that the views of the hon.member who had moved these resolutions should have fair play for the expression of the opinions entertained by other hon.members.There ought to be no coercion.' He was-ln favor of the ele'etive principle, at least to a certain extent for he was not pleased with the present state of things, when the whole council was gathered together by all sorts of exertions, and a poor minority\u2014all that had been left by repeated creation\u2014was left barely to give a feint expression to their opinions.That would not be the case if the House were elective, since urejnbers would feel themselves strong in the support of those who elected them.As to payment, he looked Upon it as sheer robbery of the coiintry,.so long as the council were not elected.Let them get themselves chosen by the people, rand then let them pay their way honestly ; -till then, he for one, and he hoped the majority of the House, would be opposed to such a measure.The Hon.Mr.DeBlaquiere again urged the point of order, contending that neither branch of the Legislature could possibly take action upon, or in fact know anything in an official way of the proceedings of the other branch, until : the measure to be considered came regularly before it.\tt ÏOÏf jJ.Jî Hon.P.Moore moved the postponement of the debate.He was one of those who wquld not sanction an attack upon the privileges Of this House by the other branch of the Legislature nor would he lend his hand to the overturning of the constitution.In fact he should be very ready to vote not for the address but for the resolutions expressing the same views, if such resolutions only went far enough ; but, he desired to have everything done at the right time and in the right way.He moved the postponement.The Hon.Speaker said the postponement could not be put till the question of order was decided.Hon.G.Boulton again spoke : saying (hat there was no necessity to decide against this re-solution on the point of order, since if the word \u201c regret\u201d were out of order, or any other words, they might be altered.The vote was then taken, contents 12, non-contents 15.The Hon.P.Moore then gave notice of a series of resolutions on the constitution of, the Ee-gislative Council.The Seigniorial Tenure Bill was postponed till Friday, and several private measures were proceeded with till the House adjourned.{From the Canada Gazette Extra.)

blit what I do assert is that none of them are qualified, by experience to predict the results consequent upon the building of a bridge at Point St.Charles.It will be but a slight consolation to the inhabitants of Montreal, at some future day, when a third of the City has been prostrated, and the mighty St.Lawrence has torn a passage through Craig Street, to know thatall the science and skill of engineers had proved unavailing against glacial inundations, I nyay assert, without any approach to presumption, that I have had as much experience in bridge-building, in the ice-encumbered rivers of Lower Canada, as any engineer in the country, aud this assertion 1 am prepared to substautiate.The Ottawa, at Sault au Recollet, is 1800 feet wide, and presents the same glacial phenomena as the St.Lawrence.The ice on the two rivers takes and breaks up simultaneously.The river Sault au Re collet is deeper than the St, Lawrence at Point St.Charles; the current is as impetuous ; the ice as formidable and dangerous.I can furnish data, gathered during a series of years, which may be received with confidence by scientific men;: they are the fruit of patient observation.I can scarcely bring myself to believe that the distinguished engineers connected with the Grand Trunk Company will endanger their fame by hastily avowing their adoption of the Point St.Charles locality.Europe contains no river comparable in vida me with the St.Lawrence, and in lower latitudes ice is unknown ; they therefore lack that local experience, which they must seek from practical men.It is a common observation in Lower Canada, that winter never sets in until the ditches are full ; to some the fact may seem absurd, but it is nevertheless perfectly true, and familiar to our people.Another fact is, that the St.Lawrence at Montreal, and the Ottawa at Sault au Recollet, never take until the Autumn waters reach their highest point, aud the ice invariably breaks up when the waters recede to the lowest point.Shallow water is the most dangerous locality, and deep water the safest for bridge piers.This assertion may sound paradoxical, yet it is literally and absolutely true.I have constructed piers in shallow water and in water thirty feet deep, where the current is rapid, yet the piers that suffer most from ice are those built in shallow water; one of them especially suffers from the action of the ice almost yearly, and it lies in the shallowest part of the river.There are two other bridges higher up the same river\u2014one belonging to the Seigniors of Isle Jesus, and the other to the Heirs of the late j Mr.Lachapelle\u2014both of which have seriously suffered from ice, and invariably the damage sustained by the piers was in shallow water.The reason is obvious, in deep water the ice is submerged, and floats away innocuously^ in shallow water it packs in masses, and threatens not only the piers but the arches of the bridge.Without any artificial obstruction in front of the Town, Montrealers have seen ice piled forty feet high \u2014 In its coitrse it demolished wooden buildings, broke into cut stone stores, and heaped up to the height of the roofs.I myself ascended one of these 'moiliitains of ice, and from it cut my initials in the spout of one of those stores in Commissioners\u2019 Street.Mr.Harwood has very properly described what my Canadian countrymen denominate frazée, or anchor ice.This anchor ice forms more readily on rock bottoms.; It is of the consistency of saturated snow, and, for long spaces, completely arrests the course of tlie,water,-filling the whole space between the bed of the river and the frozen surface.This: naturally tends to increase the velocity of the water in the portions of the river which are free from this frazée.Hence we frequently hear of horses breaking through the ice and being saved.The fact is, where this frazée occurs it would he impossible to sink a horsé be-ÿotid his middle.I apprehend that a bridge at Point St.Charles may cause the ice to pack, and back the water until it resume the channel assigned to it by tradition-down Craig Street.Many persons, now residents in Montreal, may recollect that the north-west canoes, some forty years ago or more, used to make the present Haymarket, in Craig Street, their point of departure in the Spring.Every one knows that until a very few years ago, Craig Street, St.Paul Street, M\u2018Gill Street, and nearly the whole of Gritfintown, were regularly'under water on the breaking up of the ice in the spring, and not unfrequently on the taking of the ice in the fall, on which occasions those parts of the city were only accessible to water carriages.These are facts which - no one will presume to controvert, and be it observed, that all this occurred when there were neither piers nor bridges in the St, Lawrence to impede the course of the water and.ice.Your obedient Servant, A.M.DELISLE.Montreal, May 23, 1853.We trust that Mr.Delisle\u2019s apprehensions, with reference to the consequence of building on the site, believed to have been already decided upon, at Point St.Charles, may be satisfactorily refuted by competent authority, as they, most assuredly, ought to be, before the work is commenced ; but, in the meantime, it is no trifling corroboration of Mr.Delisle\u2019s views to find that they are participated by Mr.Harwood, a gentleman of great powers of observation and great practical experience in all matters connected with the action of the ice in our waters.The following is the extract from his letter on the subject, alluded to by us as having been quoted in yesterday\u2019s Gazette :\u2014 Time has proved that I was right in the views I expressed upon canals, and the Great Trunk Road is going on in the mahner I have so long advocated, and thought it alone could be under-takeni and surely the editor of the Transcript does hot make me think that I am wrong in my .opinion of a proper site for the bridge, but only that he knows precious little about what he is writing ; for he tells us \u201c the great objection to the St.Mary\u2019s current is this, that the floor being a solid rock at a depth on an average of six fe-.thorns, the difficulty seems to be finding foundations for the piers\u2014for at that depth, and with a current of such velocity, we can hardly imagine that any stone which may be sunk may not be swept away.\u201d Does the learned editor think that stones iare tumbled into the water pell mell to make the foundation of a pier ?and has he never heard of such a thing as a coffer dam being made, aud by it the bottom of th» river being laid bare and dry ?And it is the first time that I have ever heard it urged as objectionable, that the bottom of a river was a solid rock floor.What can be a better foundation bn which to build the tower or pier in the centre to carry so great a weight ?\u2014 But I am far from admitting that where the piers for the suspension bridge need be constructed, that so great a depth of water will be found ; surely the editor of the Transcript must have been dreaming in his morning gown and slippers, or he would not write such arrant nonsense as this, and in so flippant a manner\u2014accompanied also by such personal ' remarks quite uncalled for by anything T said in my letter to you, sir, on the proposed bridge.tunate gentleman continue in ap imbecile state of mind.From the Canon Law but little relief can be hoped.It is a law which a dominant and grasping priesthood found it their interest to promulge; and which, for some time, kept the clergy themselves within the pale ot legal abstinence.So stringent is that canon law, that Bishop Horsley was misled by its severity, and only discovered that a marriage might be capable of dissolution when le consulted the Scripture with more attention.The civil law was more liberal than the canon law, although even that system of ordinance did not reckon the loss of reason a cause of divorce, if it happened after marriage.Yet if lunacy should darken the joyous hours of union, it is difficult to believe that the reasouing survivor should be surrendered to hopeless solitude.Cases ot this nature may not be uncommon, aud their presence suggests sad reflections, not unaccompanied by a wish to mitigate the pang.We do not notice any remedy in the Commissioners\u2019 list.But it is difficult to surmise any just ground why a person so situated might not hâve the sanction of law to marry again, as well as one where the presumption of law absolves from the charge of bigamy after the absence of a marriage partner for a lapse of years.\u2014 The same law which would allow a second union would secure the interests of children, and only permit a supplemental alliance in process of due time, on the score of legitimate necessity.\u2014 Nor need there be the stuubling block ofa divorce.That misery might be spared.An unhappy lunatic, if not religiously, is, at all events, civilly dead.The distance of time between the stroke of insanity and the second marriage should be sufficiently considerable to allow of the intervention of lucid intervals, or of actual restoration.We refer to cases of hopeless aud perennial aberrations of mind as calamines which ought not, by law, to be irremediable.The confusion of the authorities and the struggle for the dominion have caused the laws of marriage to be but little undeistood.The fastidious and licentious Jews were fir every writing bills, of divorcement The \u201c hardness of their hearts \u201d occasioned this act of mer:y to the woman and liberty to the man.It was subsequently forbidden under the Christian disptnsation to put away a wife, saving for adultery ; and the reason assigned was because \u201c it catlseth her to commit adultery.\u201d This cannot apply .0 a confirmed idiot or lunatic.It was declared nrtlier, that \u201c whosoever shall marry her that is.divorced, committeth adultery.\u201d This .is equally inapplicable to the melancholy issue of madness.We incline to think that th# Legislature might be able to deal wisely with these domestic visitations, and by a general Act, fortified with all precaution on behalf of the Ivnatic, whether man or woman, might confer a gnat benefit upon one party, without inflicting atif injury upon the other.TRAVELLERS\u2019 LIST.Arrivals at the St.Lawrence Hall, May 23.__p Frazer and lady.Miss do, Kingston;

we, nevertheless, rejoice to see that question freely discussed by those among ourselves, whose local knowledge aud experience in bridge-building in our climate, justly entitles them to advise the builders, and the public, on the subject.IV e say \u201c and the public,\u201d because, as our contemporary the Gazette remarks, in introducing an extract, from a late letter of the Hon.Mr.Harwoçd'j\u2014in which he advocated the selection of the St.Mary\u2019s current site,\u2014it is a great error to suppose that the site of the.bridge is nobody\u2019s business but that of the company which is going to build it.Where there is danger from ice, flooding, &c., all people residing or owning property in the localities threatened, are clearly equally interested in the matter.Holding these views, and fqlly according to the writer, what he claims for him\" We would remind the friends of the late Revd.Mr.Esson, that his funenl will take place this day, at three o\u2019clock, from Mr.Campbell's residence, 37 Great St.James Street.MARRIED.At Holland Landing, on the 2nd inst., Sutherland DeWitt, to Eliza Ann, eldest daughter of Mr.Thomas May.DIED.At Quebec, on the 21st instant, at the residence of Mr.John Hall, of consumption, aged 22 years, Priscilla^ daughter of the late Mr.David Johnsou, of that city.\t' At Quebec, on the 22nd instant, James, aged 6 years and 2 months, son of Mr.Samuel Skillen.At Vespra, on the 28th ultimo, Sophia, eldest daughter of Deputy Commissary General Field, London, C.W., aged 13 years.On the 24th September, 1852, at his house on his claim in Marion Co., Oregon Territory, François Revet,,at the age of 93 years.He was born in the Parish of St.Siilpice, Lower Canada.He was one of the first white men who came to this Territory with Lewis and Clark, and left them on their return to the east side of the Rocky Mountains, where he followed his former occupation as a trapper.ÏHEATEEE0YAL.\" J.W.BUCKLAND, Sole Lessee and Manager.To Commence at a Quarter-past EIGHT.BENEFIT OF IDLLE.0, ROUSSET, THIS EVENING, (Thursday) May 26, To commence with Evolutions on the TIGHT ROPE, By LEON JAVELLI and CHAS.WINTHER.After which the Dancing Act of CAT AUX IV A, CATARINA (Queen of the Bandits) MLLE.C.ROUSSET.During the Piece will be executed GRAND PAS DE ROSE, by the Four Sisters.PAS DÉS MASQUES, M\u2019lles.Caroline, Adelaide and Clementine.LA CRACOVIENNE, by M\u2019lle.Theresine.FINALE PAS DE DEUX, \u201cLAMANOLA,\u201d which has been pronounced the most admirably executed Dance ever presented in Europe or America, will again be performed by Caroline and Adelaide Rousset.Concludiog with (for the last time) the Comic Pantomime of the Foi* Kingston, Toronto and Hamilton, CALLING AT PORT HOPE, (WEATHER PERMITTING.)

legislature at the present session,or at an early period the next session, a measure for the better administration of the prisons and the penitentiary, and for the reformation of persons imprisoned in those places, by means of classification of moral and religious discipline, suitable to the religion of each, and of labour.Mr.Morin was understood to say, not this session, but they did the next.Mr.McKenzie moved for the appointment of a select committee to enquire into the issue of the debentures by the City of Toronto, iu payment of stock in the Northern Railway, and proceedings connected therewith.He contended that an impression prevailed in the public mind that £10,000 had been unduly made by the Mayor of Toronto, a member of the government, and other persons, out of the issue of debentures for the Northern Railway.He did not say it was so, but only asked for enquiry.He held that the circumstances of the case justified-that, aud the report of the Commitiee of the Toronto Corporation very unsatisfactory.Messrs.Sherwood and Ridout stated that the citizens of Toronto felt great interest on the subject, which they contended was not in a satisfactory state; but they held as the matter was before the Court of Chancery, that no action should be taken by the House until that Court had decided.Mr.Hartman who had seconded the motion said, that seeing the lukewarmness of the members for Toronto, whether from interested motives or not, he would not say, he would withdraw his name, which he did, and the matter dropped.The following bills were read a
