The Matron appointed last year, hot giving sa-tistaction, was discharged, and Mrs.Moore, ap old and tried servant, was appointed in her place.Dr.Fenwick resigned his office as Visiting Physician, and ' Dr.Wright Iras kindly éonsënted to act as such.The Directresses are much indebted to Dr.Fenwick, for his great kindness and attention to the inmates at all times when required ; also to Dr.Wright.Your-Committee would make grateful acknowledgment to Messrs, S.J.Lyman & Co., for their continuous liberality in supplying this Institution with Medicine ; and also to MV.,L Lovell, for his unabated kindness in Printing Reports, '&c., &c., gratuitously.Miss Griffin who has charge of the School in this Institution, continues to give great satisfaction : the progress of the pupils will be presented in thé School Report.The Directresses have received great assistance in this departihdnt through the valued labours of the School Committee.Your Committee have fecéived thé annual grant from the Provincial Parliament for 1852, and the sum of £150 from an old friend of the Institution, also £45 from - Sievewright, Esquire, through the hands of D.Finlayson, Esq., and £30 10si from the

utility.The number of inmates are at present : Boys, .Girls, .Women, Matron, Teacher,.30 27 18 1 1 Total,.77 Your Committee, in closing this Report, need hardly urge a stronger motive to induce you to contribute to the claims of this Institution, than to state, that from seven to eight hundred persons have received relief from it in the short space of twenty years; and although the measure of assistance afforded to these individuals has been small, yet you have the.happiness of knowing it has been the instrument of prolonging life, diminishing its misery, increasing its enjoyments, and leading many on the path which points :to everlasting .peace.Respectfully submitted, Mary Lawson Hill, Secretary, L.B.S.Montreal, October, 1852- SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE VISITING SCHOOL COMMITTEE.At the close of the second year of their labours, Your Committee with joy and thankfulness, present their report-with joy that their humble efforts for good have been crowned with success, and with deep thankfulness to Almighty God who has been pleased to vouchsafe them such success.During the past year many plans have been matured and carried into effect, tor the moral, intellectual, and physical improvement of the chil dren, who have slowly, but steadily progressed in all the branches of their education ; and Your Committee take this opportunity of bearing testimony to the efficient manner in which Miss .Griffin has performed her duties as Teacher.Two half yearly examinations have been held, one in December, 1852, and another in July, 1853, which have proved of .great use\u2014-1st by inciting the chi Id i en to increased diligence (as prizes are always awarded on these occasions) and also by an exhibition of the progress they have made, giving thereby a useful stimulus to the exertions of the School Committee on their behalf.The Monthly Visitors usually find upwards of 40 children in the school, for the accommodation of whom the present school room is totally inadequate.On account of this difficulty, several schemes which your Committee contemplated for the better division and arrangement of classes have been necessarily abandoned, and it, still remains a constant source of discomfort and perplexity.You): Committee tender their grateful thanks to those kind friends, who have assisted them during the first year, by donations of books, stationery and other useful articles ; especially, to Mr.Henderson for a number of hark work articles, to be sold for the benefit of the school.The funds of the Visiting School Committee during the year have more.than balanced their expenses, and Your Committee trust that by the kindness (of friends this fund will not he suffered to diminish, and that each donor may be influenced by.the same spirit as David when he said, \u201c I thank Thee, oh m.y God, and praise Thy Glorious name.But wnat-am I that I should be able to offer so willingly after this sorti for all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have I given Thee.\u201d ' Respectfully submitted, Catharine F.Robinson, Sec.V.S.Com.EXPENDED i £ s.d.1 For Prizes, .-|1 8 0 School requisites,.2 15 2 Balance in hand, .1 18 2 TREASURER.S

circulation among Jthe Protestant inhabitants of the City.Carried unanimously.The Rev.Dr.McGill then moved, seconded by J.Crawford, Esq., M.D., and it was unanimously resolved :\u2014 That the friends of the Institution now assembled while they acknowledged with deep gratitude to the Father of all mercies, the benefits which through its instrumentality have already accrued to infirm Protestant women and destitute children, feel that the circumstances of the present season call for especial appeal to the charitably disposed Protestants of Montreal, not only for the support of the Institution, as it is, but also for the extension ot its present powers of usefulness.F.G.Johnson, Esq., Q* C., moved the third resolution, seconded by Charles Geddes, Esq.', and it was resolved

subject before their Congregations, on some Sabbath, previous to the month of-March next, and to take up a collection in aid of the Building fund.Mr.Geddes then stated that he had been requested by

Emigrant Hospital.\u2014We had recently occasion to continent upon the criminal ignorance and stupidity of.the Government, in not only maintaining but.adding a wing tô the present Marine and Emigrant Hospital at Quebec, notwithstanding the Report of their own Commissioners, in which its site is condemned as pestiferous, and, in every respect, unfit for the purposes for Which At was built\u2014the fearful and unprecedented\u2019 mortality among, the unfortunate patients being solely attributable to its position in a fetid and stagnant swamp, where drainage cannot be'effected.With such evidence before them, this conduct of the Government towards the helpless and friendless sailors and emigrants who, sick and penniless, reach our shores, is almost incredible; while every intelligent and humane man will admit that it is utterly disgraceful to our country.Surely, if any of our institutions should be kept pure from the baneful influences of political and religious fanaticism, the Marine and Emigrant Hospital ought to be unaffected by them; and yet, it is impossible to read the following correspondence (which we publish in justice to one of the most skilful surgeons and, we believe, benevolent men in Canada) without detecting the poisonous presence of both.We shall not weaken Dr.Douglas\u2019s statement by any femaflvS of our own ; but we must be permitted to express, our admiration of the courteous, and yet manly and independent manner in which he replies to His Excellency\u2019s very modest \u201c wish,\u201d that he should, by resigning his office, tacitly acknowledge the justice of charges made against him, the falsehood of which he has always firmly maintained, but has been denied the opportunity of proving.There is a sublimity of effrontery in the proposition, which, if it cannot be admired, may well be wondered at; and, considering its reception by Dr.Douglas, we can feel no surprise that Mr.Chauveau should wince under thepainful duty\u201d imposed upon him :\u2014 Quebec, 29th Nov,, 1853.Sir,\u2014I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your communication of 24th inst., in .which you state that you have His Excellency\u2019s commands to.inform me, that after having had the Report of the Commissioners, and the minutes of eviderice appended thereto, under his serious consideration, His Excellency t.ad directed you to intimate to me his wish that I should resign my office of Visiting Physician of the Marine Hospital.I beg leave to stale to you, for his Excellency\u2019s: information, that in any ordinary matter, not affecting my private or professional character, I should consider an expression of his Excellency\u2019s wish as a command, which it would be my duty to obey- In the present instanqe, I cannot accede to His Excellency\u2019s wish, for the following among many other reasons :\u2014because thé, Report and evidence referred to by His Excellqncy was.: exparte ; because the minutes of evidence were obtained by most improper and unjustifiable means ; because many of the persons who gave evidence have denied using the words aqd meanings attributed to them ; because the parties accused were not only not heard in self-defence, but were kept in.profound ignorance that any \u2018èriarge or complaint whatever was made against them ; and because there is not one iota of evidence affecting me, or which I am not fully prepared to disprove at an hour\u2019s notice, should such disproof be considered necessary.As the evidence of Dr.Sewell embraces allthe complaints which could in any way be trumped up against me, I considef it proper to call His Excellency\u2019s attention to it in particular, because Dr.Sewell, as one of the Visiting Physicians of the Hospital, had the best means ot knowing the truth of his staternents, beriause his education and position gave him a certain claim to belief, and because, as Chairman of the local Board, having full access to the records of the Hospital, he had no excuse for unjustly and falsely attributing improper conduct and motives to an officer of the Institution.Dr.Sewell states in his evidence that he resigned his office as Visiting Physician because he was not on an equality with the others, and because I preferred Dr.Frémont to assist me in operations, to the marked disrespect of my colleagues.Dr.Sewell should have stated that he accepted the office of Visiting Physician on an express condition with Government that he was not to be paid, the opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of his profes-s.ion being st aed by Government to be sufficient compensation for his services.Dr.Sewell should have stated also that the official letter appointing him did away with all distinctions of seniority and powers between the Visiting Physieians.With respect to my obtaining the assistance of Dr.Frémont in opération?, my reasons have been stated to Government iri my letter of Dr.Sewell knew these reasons and their force, and he himself acted on them on the only occasion on which he operated in Hospital ; he asked for and obtained the assistance of a gentleman quite nnconnected with the Hospital, although five of his colleagues were present to aid him, if he had considered them capable.The reasons given by Dr; S.for resigning his office as Visiting Physician, scarcely affect me, even had they been candid and true.The latter part of his evidence, however, is of a very different nature ; it distinctly charges me, as a public officer, with using my office to violate the Sabbath Day, for trie unworthy purpose of causing my colleagues, students and servants, either to neglect their religious duties or lose the advantage of witnessing surgical operations.I trust to His Excellency\u2019s own high sense of honor and justice to give me an opportunity of disproving so malicious and foul a slander by other means than my own simple (Ratal- At present, I can only assrite His Excellency that I never, since the appointment of my colleagues, operated on a Sunday at all ; of course, the particular hour chosen, and the motive for choosing, remain to be accounted for by Dr.S.as he best can.I beg to be informed if His Excellency\u2019s wish that 1 should resign is based on such evidence as this.In 1847, the management of the Hospital became entirely Roman Catholic, and since that time the most flagrant mismanagement has existed.The money and effects of patients have been appropriated by the em- pointed and took charge, seventeen years ago, I found it a den of drunkenness and pillage.I did my duty fearlessly and without favor, and received the formal thanks of the Board.In the Report, the Commissioners acknowledge that all the evidence testified to my diligence, to my kindness and humanity to the patients, and what is of more importance to them, to the success of my practice.Since the management of the Hospital has been changed, the mortality among the patients has, accordiug to the report, increased 400 per cent.The report does not state whether the expense have increased in proportion.In most respectfully declining to accede to His Excellency\u2019s wish, for the above reasons, I have only to observe, that I will not, by any act of my own, permit the close of a long and successful professional career to be tarnished by'any body of men, whether from private, political or religious motives.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedt.serv\u2019t., J.Douglas.Hon.P.J.O.Chauveau, ?Provincial Secretary.) Secretary\u2019s Office, Quebec, 3rd Dec.1853.Sir,\u2014I am commanded by His Excellency the Administrator of the Government to inform you that, after having had under his consideration your letter of the twenty-ninth day of November last, His Excellency sees no reason why he should alter the decision which was communicated to you on the 24th ultimo.It is therefore my painful duty to inform you that His Excellency has come to the conclusion of dispensing with your services as Visiting Physician to the Marine and Emigrant Hospital.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedt.serv\u2019t., Pierre J.O.Chauveau, Secretary.S Dr.J.Douglas, Quebec.Quebec, 5th Dec.1853.Sir,\u2014I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 3rd inst., and at the same time to place my office of Commissioner of Turnpike Roads at His Excellency\u2019s disposal.I .have the honor to be, Your obedt.serv\u2019t., J.Douglas.Hon.P.J.O.Chauveau, ) Prov.Secretary.j Government Advertising.\u2014We cut the following letter from the last Quebec Gazette :\u2014 To the Editor of the Quebec Gazette.Mr.Editor,\u2014Happening to glance over the Montreal Gazette of Friday last to-day, I observed with some surprise, under the head of Militia Appointments copied from the Official Gazette, a call for tenders to be delivered at the Receiver General's, this day at noon, for £10,000 Montreal Court House Debentures.This certainly appears a most extraordinary way of transacting important public business.Not one man in five hundred will see the advertisement in the Official Gazette; and no notice of the intended sale appears in the Chronicle, which now contains the Government advertisements.Can this be intentional?Investment.Quebec, Dec.12th, 1853.Whether iutentional or not, can there be any doubt that the public interest is shamefully neglected by this withholding ofinformation, which ought to be patent to all parties having investments to make ?Professional Liberality in Paris\u2014We recently published thé fact that a French gentleman had presented the handsome gift of 10,000 francs to the Medical Journal called the Gazette des Hôpitaux.Of this sum 7,000 francs are appropriated to enabling poor Students and Professional men to obtain the Gazette.The remaining 3000 francs, says the Journal.\u201c will be distributed to the most meritorious among our fellow workers who may please to address to us the fruits of their observations, personal or obtained from others in the service of Hospitals.\u2019\u2019 This appeal is general ; no one is excluded > Practitioners or Students,\u2014Frenchmen and foreigners\u2014all are free to compete and may expect equal justice.The prize fund will be thus distributed, viz :\u2014Three times a year, in the second fortnights of February, June and October a sum of 1000 francs will be distributed among, the authors of the best useful and practical works inserted in the Gazette des Hospitaui.The first distribution will take place in the month of February, 1854.A Romantic Elopement.\u2014Different versions of this elopement having gone the round of the papers, we select the following :\u2014 On the banks of the Tay, not a hundred miles from Murthley Castle, a young and beautiful girl, possessed of wealth and accomplishments, had pledged, herself, to a youug Highland officer of Scotland\u2019s old Black Watch, Lieut.Chisholm.But as the course of true love never did run smooth, so it happened in this case, and difficulties were started at the eleventh hour.But, nothing daunted, the \u201cyoung Highlander\u201d gave a look to his \u201c ladye love\u201d full of confidence and assurance, flung his plaid across his shoulder, and carelessly but gallantly bade her farewell.But his mind was made up : he made his arrangements he returned.The young affianced one spied him from the battlements, rushed down to the lawn, and clung to his arms.There were difficulties, and a melee ensued.11 Guns an\u2019 pistols an\u2019 a! \u201d were called for, but the \u201c young Lochin-var\u201d being rather of a1Herculean build, gallantly, yet gently, cast every bar and difficulty to the winds, bounded with her into his carriage, and with the aid of four spirited bays, bore her off in pride and triumph through \u201c Birnam wood\u201d and the \u201c Fair City,\u201d amidst cheers as they careered along.The nuptial-knot was soon tied, ^is will be seen from the marriage appended.\u2014United Service Gazette, Nov.5, 1853, Spiritual Movements in Montreal.(From the^JUinerve.)

QUARTERLY MEETING.em\u2014he ,rus mzed at t On the 14th October, at St.Andrew's Catholic Cathedral, Glasgow, by His Lordship the Right Rev.Bishop Murdoch, Vicar-Apostolic ot the Western District, Archibald Macrae Chisholm, Esq , ot the 42nd Royal Highlanders, son of Dr.Stewart Chisholm, Senior Surgeon Royal Artillery, to Maria Frances, only daughter of Wm.Dominic Lynch, Esq., late of Devonshire Place, London, residing at Murthley Castle, Perthshire, and granddaughter to the late Louis Farquhar-son, Esq., of Balmoral and Ballogie, Aberdeenshire.Robert Heller.\u2014When we hear a magician spoken of, the word generally conveys with it the impress of swindling and imposture ; and the profession is one adopted by every vagrant who has the slightest smartness beyond his fellows.Hence the low level of the calling.But here we have something beyond this.To say nothing of the superior and artistic experiments performed by Mr.Heller, he last night completely took us by surprise in a performance on the pianoforte, wherein he exhibited the most masterly execution, together with a pathos seldom found in these parts.We hear, moreover, that he is one of the English stars, a musical man of great eminence, and only engaged in his cabalistic performances for the gratification of a whim.The musical public have now an additional inducement to attend the theatie.By reference to the theatrical advertisement, our citizens will find that Mr.Buckland has re-engaged Mr.Heller for a few nights, and that this accomplished gentleman will delight his audiences each night with one of his celebrated solos on the pianoforte.\u201c'How Social the Game an\u2019 how Manly!\u201d\u2014 The annual match between the married and single of the .Montreal Curling Club took place on Wednesday last ; and after a sharp contest of several hours, termiuated in favor of the Benedicts.The day was beautiful, the ice good, but at one time rather 'too soft ; the strong backs of the old fellows, however, carried them triumphantly through, winning by nine shots.In the evening, the members of the Club, with their guests, dined together at \u201cDolly\u2019s,\u201d when the far-famed host actually surpassed himself in the excellence of the dinner he provided ; and a very pleasant and social evening was passed, so characteristic of the supporters of that game of games, curling.On Sunday last, I was invited to pass the evening with a family of my acquaintance, -in order to make an experiment with the turning tables.Up to that time, I had succeeded well enough in obtaining the rotatory motion, also some knocks given according to order, and eyen the ages of some persons present\u2014facts which I regarded as unique at the time, but which have been greatly surpassed since.I accepted the invitation, and we found eight persons assembled.We sat down to table\u2014the turning table, understand\u2014at about half-past nine o\u2019clock.As I am about to state very remarkable facts, which seven other persons then with me may be called on to corroborate, I shall say in passing, that if required, these persons are ready to do so.I shall, therefore, be frank and candid in my narration, making no commentary ; but stating the facts simply in all their plainness.I should also say, before commencing, that all the persons present appeared to act with the greatest good faith and honesty, and seemed to be moved by no other desire than to learn.This had been agreed upon in advance, and was affirmed by each person present, before and after the operation.Therefore, in reading what follows, our frankness and conscientious honesty must be admitted.We seated ourselves, then, round the table, or, rather, I was asked to begin with only one of the ladies.Accordingly, I began with her alone, but at the end of sixteen minutes, seeing that we obtained only some slight oscillations, and small leaps, as if in mockery of us, and having also had full time to amuse ourselves with jokes and epigrams upon the subject, we asked for re-.inforcements, and were joined by a lady and two gentlemen.Five minutes had scarcely elapsed when a cabalistic cracking was heard, and the table began its rotatory movement ; but a simple command made it turn in an adverse direction.\u2014 Seeing the table had become very docile, we judged that the agent was manifesting himself, and that the time had come to ask questions.We, therefore, proposed a series of questions, of which I give the chief.They were answered with a justice and precision proper to confound the most incredulous.The signs agreed upon were one rap to be be given by the_table for yes, and two for no ; for the letters of the alphabet the number of raps corresponding to their numerical place in the alphabet ; figures were to be indicated by the appropriate number of raps.These conditions understood, I asked Do you desire to speak ?He struck a stroke saying him :\u2014Who are you ?If so, you must come course preferred to transact of that sort rather than r where.) He struck two raps : No ! Commencement of alarm and curiosity.Thou must then be a spirit from Hell ?He again gave raps\u2014No.This was re-assuring.Whence then do you come ; from earth ?Yes ! Do you come also from Purgatory ?Yes.Earth and Purgatory are then the same things for thee ?Yes.Would prayers avail you ?Yes.Would a Mass do you good ?Yes.All these answers made a great impression and filled us with astonishment.How many are we in the apartment?(I should say that up to this time, though the party was small, no one had paid attention to the number).The table struck eight strokes, and in counting we verified the statement.Thou knowest us then?Yes.Then I asked :\u2014If thou knowest us, tell who I am who address you, mentioning my family name?fHe answered R-i-c-a-r-d, each letter signified in the manner agreed upon, and the whole closed by a heavy blow.All the party began to look at me and to exclaim with astonishment, myself most of all astonished to figure in the spiritual vocabulary.1 proceeded and asked\u2014Art thou older than me?No.At What age did you die?Eleven years.How many years since ?Four What is the first letter ot thy Christian name ?C.The second ?H.The Third ?A.The fourth ?R.; and so on till he had completed CHARLES as distinctly as I write it.A certain trembling passed through the party and some became pale with fear.I then asked\u2014What was thy surname ?But the ladies nervous and almost convulsive grouped themselves close and said they knew enough.It was easy to yield and I asked :\u2014 Dost thou like to mention your surname ?No.Dost thou wish to say it ?No.Can you ?Yes.But if we pressed thee would\u2019st thou tell it ?Then the table rose upon its legs, trembled, and after seeming to hesitate, answered, Yes.We had remarked that each time the question related to more imporlant points, or when \\ye gppmfiLj to command moro imperiously than usual, the table was either subjected to, or gave actively these uncertain and jerking tremblings.Does tbj father still live?Yes.What is his name ?\u2014What his Christian name ?I a C-H-A-R-L-E-S,.successively, and without hes- |V itation or error.To the family name there was still objection made.Does he live in Montreal?Yes.Faubourg St.Louis?No.Faubourg Quebec?Yes.In what Street?\u2014What is the first letter?V.The second?I.The third?S.The fourth?I\u2014as far as Visitât, when we were convinced that it Was Visitation Street.Does he live there near St.Mary Street ?No.Near St.Peter\u2019s Church?No.North of St.Catherine\u2019s Street ?Yes.Is he rich or poor?Poor.A wood mercliant?No.A carter?Yes.Does he live in a house of wood or brick ?of wood, rap once ; if otherwise, twice, rapped once.Did you die there ?No.Does the place belong to him ?Yes.Since when ?Two years.All this from the commencement was strikingly precise and consequent.Tell the number of the house ?The table was mute.But, first, has it a number ?No.How many sides has it?Four.Is it of one story ?Yes, And, strange affair ! next day we sought to verify the statement, and found, in fact, a little above St.Catherine Street, a wooden house with four doors, three windows, and only one story, in which three families were lodged.Dost thou like to tell the family name of thy father ?No.Canst thou tell it?Yes., Tell me how many persons are spending the evening at my house ?Three ;\u2014which next day turned out to be correct.The same question, with respect to another operator, was answered by six, which was also verified next day.Tell us who lives at 130 St.Paul Street?G-R-E-N-I-E-R.But there are two.\"VYhat is his Christian name?J-A-C-Q-U-E-S.We went next day to Mr.Grenier, and were informed by him that the number of the house was 128; but that number 128 and number 130 represented the same house ; his shop being only separated from 130 by a thin wooden partition, there being a wall on the other side.We put other questions, which were all equally well answered, but would be too long to repeat here.Wednesdy, Dec.14, 1853.Present :\u2014His Worship the Mayor, in the Chair; Aldermen Whitlaw, Atwater, Whitney, Trudeau, Valois, and Councillors Corse, Campbell, Marchand, Thompson, Adams, Bronsdon, Bleau Labelie, Homier, McCambridge, Coursol and Papin.Two Petitions were read from parties desiring delay to enclose frame buildings with brick: and a third from Mrs.Connolly desiring a reduction of assessments;.In cohformity with a resolution of Council, the Water Works Committee reported the progress they had made in the construetion of the new works.The report contained nothing of importance which has not been already published by the City Press.The land damages were in course of settlement in two instances the Committee had felt themselves called,upon to contest the awards as exorbitant.The Road Committee reported that in obedience to instructions of the Council, they had taken steps to secure proper places for the deposit of snow and filth during the ensuing winter.For the South West portion of the City they recommended the use of the two lots in the tirage Guy, acquired for the use of the City : for the North East, a lot of land next the English Burying Ground on the Papineau road, for the purchase of which they had opened négociations.They had as yet been unable to fix upon any suitable place for the North Western part of the City.The Mayor said that it was necessary that a board of Revisors should be- appointed, to revise the electoral lists for the ensuing year.It had been customary for the Mayor , to suggest the names of such as he thought best fitted for the duty, and he accordingly should suggest that Alderman Atwater, and Councillors Montreuil, McCambridge, and Coursol, should, with himself,ea; officio, form the board.Alderman Atwater laid that, it had heretofore been esteemed an object for the different wards tO be represented iu faeir turn on.the revising Committee.Now, St.Anne's ward had been represented for two years past, while several had not been represented fo: several years.Again there were two member! from his ward upon the board suggested by the fiayor,\u2014Councillor Coursol and himself,\u2014which Would be esteemed, he supposed, as undue preference.The Mayor said several members were going out, and it was not very easy to form a board without them.He considered that different classes in the conmunity should be represented, and therefore he tad put on a member fiom St.Anne\u2019s ward to rg)resen| the Irish, fas only the members from tliLl_war(^ didTëpresen t them ;) a price not to exceed the present sum expended for that purpose.I The Mayor begged to draw attention to the fact that the loan of £125,000 by the City to the Portland Railway still remained unsettled.He thought it his duty at the end of the year to recall this and suggest that the Finance Committee should take some steps to secure the City against ^ny possibility of loss.I Mr.Marchand thought that nothing was necessary.The Finance Committee had done all that was requisite.Tney had the security of the Grand Trunk Railway, now in place of the Portland, which was all that was required.Alderman Whitnby said that nothing more could be done iu the matter until the first instalment fell due in 1856.After several ineffectual attempts on the part of Mr.Marchand to be heard again, in order to reply more fully to the remarks of the Mayor Cleave to do which being refused by the Mayor's.pjplinfr\ttl,o onV.ji.ot-wuo /I'CAprUrfr vr-rr p\t.tffën, they had tw) Canadians, and one Engiisri name besides.\tv A.ldermap Atwi-^R ,(itii not- th'\u201d11-' they were* tnjrprg°,\u2018r\u201c\tURriGnaBtiPS- or to re- ' \u2019 tjjat they woiilil riot.'

whereupon Councillor Marchind: moved, seconded by Alderman Atwater, that Messrs.J.D.Bernard and J.G.McKenziebe appointed Auditors, which was carried by a manimous vote.Councillor Adam moved, seconded by Councillor Mussen, that Alderman Leclaire be substituted in the place of Alderman Deeming as a member of the Conmittee to revise the By-Laws.Carried.Councillor Adais then moved, seconded by Councillor Papin, hat application be made on behalf of the Coucil to Parliament at its next Session, for authorty to borrow £100,000 for the improvement of thiCity by a complete system of drainage, the openiig upnewand completing the paving and;foot-pahs of old streets, &c.; and the Finance Oommittesdo report upon the terms on, and period for whit the said loan should be effected.Mr.Adams intromced his motion with a few remarks upon the.necessity for the works contemplated and the Insufficiency of the ordinary revenues of the cit; to meet the necessary cost.He was glad to seeliat the Loan for the Water works had been effated, and was being so judiciously expended.The members of the Council who had promoted those works deserved great! jpraise for the enegy and success with whichl 'they carried out thewishes of the citizens.A Isystem of drainagewas no less necessary, ancf Ithe improvement of the streets, which were no™ In a horrible condition,hardly less.Mr.Homier opposed tie motion.The city was already enough in deb, and if this £100,000 were got, it would fie sqiandered like the rest.Aid.Atwater though the proposition a wise one, which should recela the hearty support of the Council.They shoiid get authority to bor-row the sum named, but',hey need notborrow or expend it any Taster tb&I they ÎOunci WIIS sary, hut it.mnnld jtniihlfihe '\t\" effrônon some systemaü l _\u2014j j-;

but it was manifest that it was the interest of the City not to expend £20,000 or £30,000 on drains unless they were assured that they were founded upon some well organised plan, so that every step taken would be towards the completion of a perfect system, else the money might be thrown away, as he feared other money had Mr.Labelle opposed this consulting of Engineers : they had a City Garveyor with an Assistant ; if he was competent to do the duties of his office, they need consult no other; if not, let them dismiss him and secure the services of some one who was properly qualified, and people might be as well pleased.Mr.McCambridge also objected to the employment of any other Engineer.Mr.Thompson said they already had plans by Mr.Ostell and Mr.McGill, and they were carrying on their works upon their measurements and plans.They wanted nothing more.Mr.Homier said that the fact was, the Road Committee did not seem to have confidence in the City Surveyor, and yet would not recommend his pense of consulting other Engineers.The same thing had been done with the Water Works, and Yankee Engineers brougljt in at an expense of £300 or £400 to go over the Works and see if all was right.He did not believe in wasting money 'that way.The motion being put was carried.Councillor Thompson gave notice that he should move at the next Meeting that the Clerk of the Recorder\u2019s Court be ordered to lay before the Council, returns of the arrests, crimes charged, convictions, &c., brought before that Court during the past year.The Council then adjourned.engines and other plant required for the traffic.This difficulty could only be overcome by partially closing so much of the line as was in an imperfect state.Ift the meantime the traffic will be accommodated at both the ,Montreal and Portland ends ; but it has been necessary to suspend the conveyance of the through traffic until the latter end of this year, when the now imperfect portion Of the railway will be finished in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Company.This partial closing is deeply to be regretted, as a very large quantity of traffic presented itself for conveyance.Nevertheless, the Directors felt that the interests of the Company would be best served by taking the course they have adopted.Orders have been given for the supply of such engines and plant as, added to the quantity to he furnished by the Quebec and Richmond line, will be amply sufficient toyvorkrthe'easternsection of the railway\u2014in all, 392 miles in length.The line between Quebec and Richmond (100 miles in length) will be opened on the 1st July next, and the contractors state that the portions between Montreal and Bro'ckville and between Toronto and Gueiph, will be completed for traffic in July, 1855.The section between Brockville and Toronto will be ready in 1856, thus completing the line from Quebec to Montreal;

at £45,000, to this was tebe added £15,000 -from the Water Works departnent, arrears of Assessments £2000, and interes on bonds paid to be deducted from gross, sui £300, which would leave a clear revenue of ,t least £62,300.Now deducting the £35,500 fren this, it would be seen that only some £4000 or £000 of the next year\u2019s revenue would require toie anticipated, and that could easily be procured vithout application to Parliament.And this conomy and the largeness of .the revenues woid give greater confidence to the bondholders, which an application to Parliament for leave o increase their debt would be calculated to datroy.Mr.Marchand followedon the same side.It was all Very well to say tiat the money need not be borrowed-and spent unil it was needed, but they know from experienc that it would be bor- (rowed and spent.A farher loan >vas not absolutely necessary, and he sionld thefe\u2019fore oppose it.Mr.Papin spoke fielxt aisome length, showing the necessity for extensiy- improvements.Had Councillor Marchand shu-his eyes while he had been in the Council or in ;oing about the City ?(Did be not know that it vas miserably, drainedl that in some Wards at leait, people could not go' out\u2019of their doors at soon seasons of the year J wihtout getting into the nud up to their knees?] The Road Committee bad informed them officially, that £80,000 was nëded for the streets and drains, and now they propised to patch them up here and there to the amomt of £30,000, because they had not got enough d money, and that also formed an excuse for apportioning the sum most unequally in the different Yards.Montreal was going to be a great town, and in view of its future, they should widen tie old streets and open up new oneg and do sonething for embellish-Iment as well as provide (hat people should not -tetick in the mud or break heir limbs or carriages!
