acting as he had in bis judicial capacity, ,nor was there any upon hon.members.The House had the righ.to make such a motion and adopting it was the only way to make the Comniittee a fair representation of the whole House! ¦\t.Hon.Mr.Cameron did not understand the necessity of making this motion ; and he thought that when a motion of this kind appeared, with the name of the Solicitor General East on the back of : it, that he ought to have been in his place., Mr.Cartier\u2014The reason for his not being present was, that he left Quebec at 5 o\u2019clock upon pressing business.Hon.Mr., Cameron conceived, that under tbe law, as it stood before, when they bad not a General Election Law, they would have selected the greater number of members to form this Committee from Lower Canada, when the questions to be discussed, related to Lower Canada Law,\u2014but he must confess that the gentleman proposed to be struck off, was one who, from his position as late Speaker of the House, and his long acquaintance with tbe practice of the House, should have been left on the list,\u2014the present Speaker had the right to issue a new warrant if he pleased for those five.bon.mèmbers, and there were no reasons why any one of the other names should not be taken off, as well as the \"Lo»\u2014 This Committee bad a peculiar duty ot its ow n fo ,,., «\u2014j.oeum net Lolp thinking that it wras much better to have those gentlemen placed upon it, who are not likely to be influenced by local or personal feelings, and he did not see, from anything which had fallen from the hon.member who had made the motion, any reason why the hon.member for Glengarry\u2019s name should be struck off.Mr.Cauchon said, in the course of a few remarks, that although he had no extraordinary sympathy with the hon.member for Glengarry, he would vote against the motion.Mr.Mackenzie followed.Every one could clearly see that this was nothing else but.a Government measure.It was very plain that the Administration was a miserable piece of patch work\u2014the idea of a little matter like this being brought forward proved their compositio:!.He rvas astonished at it, and who could help being so ?Look at the miserable shifts Government had made, and what .on earth could have induced them to make this motion ?What was the meaning of it ?Why it was contended that the most, proper persons in this case were those who live nearest the individuals who are mixed up with difficulties.He was only sorry that the Commissioner for Crown Lands was mixed up in this matter, considering the part he had previously taken, and that he should come there, and rise up to support a Measure of this character.He (Mr.M.) could not have believed it unless he bad sèen it.The hon.member for Vercheres, in having brought forward this Motion, was unfit to occupy that chair which he bad assumed on the Ministerial side.Hon.members need not imagine for one moment, that he wished to be on any of their Election Committees\u2014not a bit of it.He had always solicited the favor of being excused.As fyr as the bon.member for Vercheres went, he did not like that the Grand Trunk Railway should be affected by any change made in the House.He hoped that, if there was any sort of manliness in ::the hon.members opposite, that they would withdraw this motion, for it was a shabby thing.: Hon.Mr, Chauveau\u2014As the hon.member for Haidimand had given him credit as though he (Mr.U;)'had spoken upon this motion, he thought he would say a few words.The hon.member for Haidimand had as usual made attacks upon the Government, as indeed he had made upon the late Administration, and doubtlessly would upon any other.He seemed to believe, that the law relied altogether upon the oath to be administered by the members of these Committees, that they ought not to care on which side of the House, members forming that Committee sat, or in\u2019Wbat part of Canada they lived, but that all was to be regulated by the oath.If such had been the case, the law would not have put it in the ' rower of the Hbtike to affirm the decision of the jpefiker.If the hon.member for Haidimand Sound-.that one of these Committees was not to -his liking, that; hon.member, he (Mr.Ç.) well knew, would not be tbe last to rise and move for a révisai of its members.He was just us ready to do it as the hon.member for Chicoutimi, whom he, on all .occasions, was in the habit of blaming, no doubt, for good reasons.The charge which the honorable member for Hal dimand had made against the Government, was against a measure which emanated from the Government side of the House, must not always be taken to be a Government measure.(Hear, hear.) This Committee bad been appointed with great care, and fora particular purpose ; of giving satisfaction to all, and of selecting particular members to sit upon each particular election case.It was requisite that the position of those members should not be such in the House as to place them in antagonistic positions with the member applying to take bis seat.It was ridiculous for honorable members to assert that \u2018no line Could be drawn between Upper and Lower Canada in these matters.Could Mr.McKenzie pretend to say that he bad that cognizance of particular circumstances existing in Lower Canada which he might have of those in Upper Canada?With regard to the honorable member for Gleagarry there was another circumstance which would induce, him to vote with the honorable member for Vercheres, because it was right to show charity to the members whose seats are contested.A few days ago they, had the honorable member attacking a gentleman of that House whose seatwas contested, and telling him that he whs not fairly returned to this House, that a number of votes at bis election were illegal.Such a rebuke, being passed by the honorable member .for Glengarry upon that honorable gentleman was another reason why he should vote with the honorable member for Vercheres.Mr.Marchildon, would vote against the motion.Mr.Merritt exceedingly regretted that ihe hon.member for Vercheres should have taken up this subject at all.That hon.member bad stated, that it was not done out of anything personal to tbe hon member for Gleugary,but what was this motion in fact he would ask?Why a direct censure, and it came with a very ill grace from a member of the administration, and not from the government.He (Mr.M.) hoped that his hon.friend would give it up, otherwise the country would pat down the hon.member for Glengary as a proscribed man, and take it as a direct censure upon the judgment of the hon.Speaker, if the vote went against them.These 209 Kotre Dame Street, ((Year St.François Xavier Street.) THE Proprietors of this Establishment beg to inform their friends and the public, that having enlarged their Stock of PRINTING M TERIALS, STEAM PRESSES, kc., they will là prepared to undertake every description of Book, Job and Card Printing, IN THEIR NEW PREMISES.added 0Iie of H0E\u2019S new CYLINDER PRESSES, for Job Printing, to their block, they hope to be able to execute everv description of JOB PRINTING at moderate rates and with great despatch.Their present stock of STEAM PRESSES will enable them to throw off upwards of ÏO OOft IMPRESSIONS PER DAY.Hay 4.\tH were all the facts.Hon.Members might govern iheir vote accordingly.Therefore, whatever they might say they must look at the result, and it was for those reasons he should vote aeainst the motion.\t6 Mr.Lemieux.\u2014The system that was followed formerly bad always proved to be tbe best, namely, that of selecting a Committee from both sections of the Province.Without wishing to censure Mr.Speaker, he found upon the Committee, more names from Upper Canada than Lower.It was for that reason, that he would mot101?- He ala0 wished to be un- Pihd aS imputing to the hon.member lor Glengary any motives that were improper He did not see that it was a ministerial question : of'this Chamber ' 8lmPlecluesti°*°f Privilege Mr.Powell, when he heard of the extraordinary motion proposed by the hon.member for Vercheres, and supported by such insignificant reasons as Ihose which be had given for it he (Mr P ) felt that inuignation, generally, be belie\u2019ved, entertained by the hon.members of the House and he was pleased to find that the hon.member for foronto had so admirably expressed the views which he (Mr.P.) entertained on the subject of ibis motion.He (Vlr.P.) certainly felt the difficulty of his position as a ministerialist, if he were called upon to support such resolutions as were before the chair.It was only the other night that the hon.member for Chicoutimi announced that m the consideration of those tesolutions à feeling of indifference should exist as to whether the members to form the committee were selected from Upper or Lower Canada; and he (Mr.P.) approved of that sentiment, for he believed that the time had arrived when the members of that House should forget the distinction between the two sections, but they should be selected indifferently from the House according to their capa-city to discharge their duties as committee men.He believed that this union should not bo a mere union of hands, but of hearts also, and if they professed to legislate as statesmen, they should select what was good to both provinces, and make that the basis of the Legislation of tin! country instead of being influenced by local feelings, principles or opinions.(Hear 1 bear!) He should not have ofiered any opinion in addition to what had fallen for the hon.member for To-ronto, except that the hon.Provincial Secretary bad offered an argument of a new and totally different kind.He had stated the ground of his objection to the election of the.hon member for Glengary, as being the fact that that hon.mem-ber expressed bis opinion relative to an election m Upper Canada the other night.The hon member for Vet obérés deprecated any feeling with respect to the hon.member for Glengary, deprecated introducing any charge of partiality,and deprecated the.idea of insinuating that he would be influenced by any improper motives, yet he had been followed by th.Provincial Secretary,who had stated that he took his position from the fact i bat the hon.membe for Glengary bad expressed his opinion in the way he did with regard to the election of Mr.Roblin.Now if that hon, member did so state, there was not an hon.member in that House, who had not expressed the same opinion.The non member fur Glengary said that the hon.member had been admitted by-votes which no member had ever before been elecied with, and that they, in order to elect him, brought into operation the New Eleciion Franchise Bill, and in saying this, be (Mr.P) did not believe that the hon member for Glen-gaiy did say more than any other member of that House had said under similar circumstances, aud he did not think that in the selection of these Committees, this should prove any reason for preventing the hon.member being elected.He (Mr.P) regarded the duties of those gentlemen who would be selected to these Committees as of a judicial character entirefo, and not as it was attempted to be characterized by the hon member for Vercheres.That gentleman had got up and found fault about certain members not being selected} from one and the other party, but he (Mr.P.j would state that where men are sworn to do justice iu their official capacity, that party feeling should be forgotten ; and it ill became the hon.member for Vercheres to introduce it (Hear, hear.) He, (Mr.P.) had only to inform the Government as far as he was individually concerned, that he was inclined to give them his generous support, but if they supposed that in a matter where no reason had been assigned, that from mere individual pique, they wished to deprive the hon.member for Glengarry of his seat, as tar as he, (Mr.P.) was concerned, they would never receive support at his hands.Mr.Langton said he did not know upon what grounds the hon.member for Glengarry could be objected to.The case was very different with regard to the hon.member for Montreal.There was a good reason why he should not be put upon it.He should, therefore, not garry.(Hear,.hear.) Mr.Dufresne then said a few words.Mr.Felton followed Had great confidence in the hon.member for Glengarry.It was difficult though, in the House, to select men who were quite impartial.An equal number of members should be selected from both Provinces in his opinion.The Committee must be balanced so that partialities would be frustrated as much as possible.It was competent for the Speaker to issue a new warrant altogether if he thought fit.Mr.Stevenson thought they should be very careful in setting precedents, and they should not give cause to suppose that the Oommittee would be actuated by political or party feeling in making motions iu the House.He was sorry to hear cbe hon.member for Carlton saying that this was a ministerial question.He (Mr.S.) thought it was very wrong to make any objection unless upon very strong grounds.The law was intended to place the right of appointing this Committee not in the power of the House, and it was, therefore, placed-in the hands of the Speaker ; but as the Speaker might be influenced at some time to select the Committee, he might select one not acceptable to the House, which had the power to object He (Mr.S.) would not be willing to encourage the suspicion, that a Committee is to act from party princinle.If they admitted once, that the Speaker's appointment in this case may be objected to, upon the ground that any individual member advances, they might go on session after session without arriving at any conclusion.It must be very evident that if a party in that House wished to keep out a set of men from Committees, that he could object to the appointment of them; and if the precedent was once established that any member may object to another member to form this Committee from any.feelings he might have, they would easily see ihat.such an objection could be made any time when this Committee might be appointed.Party feeling ought never.to be excited upon a question of this kind.The question having been put by the Speaker the motion was lost.Ayes 18 ; Nays 43.WITNESSES BILL.Mr.J.H.Cameron moved the third reading of the bill to compel the attendance of witnesses before lh< Superior Courts in any part of Canada.Mr.Powell asked if the hon member would postpone the third reading for a few days, as ha had an amendment Which he desired to have added to the bill.Mr.Cameron would not comply with the request, as having learned privately from his hon.friend what the nature of his.amendment was, be could not agree to it, and might as well test the House upon it ihen as any other time.Mr.Powell then would move his amendment forthwith ; and he proceeded to put the motion, that the House go again into Committee on the bin, witti the view of amending it, by extending the powers therein conferred on Judges of the Superior Courts with reference to applications in the fiist instance for subpoenas to the county Court Judges in Upper Canada.He said that he would have moved this amendment while the bill was in Committee, but could not from being called to the chair.He desired the Home to adopt his amendment on the principle that he did not believe in legislating by piece-meal.If the bill were founded upon a correct principle, no good reason could be urged, for not extending it to the county courts.Here the hon mem-uer dilated at some length on the inconveniences that country lawyers were obliged to put up with in the present centralized system, the burthen of which ultimately fell on the people, for they had to pay the piper in the long run.He also spoke of the superiority of oral to written testimony, and could not see why the country courts should be deprived of tbe advantages proposed to be conferred on the Superior.He did not think the hon.member for Toronto, from the nature of his piaciice, fully apnreciated the difficulties of country lawyers; and he stated, that without wishing to ascribe to him any unworthy professional jealousy, for he felt certain that as a legislator he was far above that.He iMr.Powell) was sure of this much, that if a country judge were capable of adjudicating on the merits of a case brought before him, he ought to be capable of saying whether a witness should be sent for or not.He concluded by putting his motion.Mr.Freeman seconded it, and spoke in its favor principally on the ground that country lawyers ought to enjoy as extensive privileges as those of Toronto.Messrs.J.H.Cameron and J.S.Macdonald both opposed the amendment ; and after some further conversation it was put and lost.Yeas 21, Nays 34.railroad bill.The Port Dalhousie and Tborold Railway amendment bill was read the second time and referred.crjminAl law.Mr.Cameron\u2019s Criminal Law amendment bill was passed through Committee of the whole, with some amendments, and ordered to be rev ported on Monday.\t\u201eai.And the House adjourned, 1719 5152 MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY.OCTOBER 3, 1854.EXTBACTS FROM ENGLISH PAPERS.tetter of Prince C/.arto ryski to tlie Poles.The following letter has been addressed by Prince Czartoryski to his countrymen :\u2014 \u201c My Dear Fellow Countrymen\u2014After various deceitful misfortunes, after hard and perhaps necessary trials, Divine Providence, as it seems, satisfied with the manner in which we have borne the past is now disposed to restore to us His protection.\u201c Events which human wisdom had not foreseen, which it would have tried to prevent, have unexpectedly arisen, and may entirely change the situation of Europe.\u201c The great powers some of whom had put their hand to our destruction\u2014while the others have permitted it\u2014are now brought to acknowledge the fatal results to Europe of the perdition of Poland, and to consider how much security and what advantages her re-establishment would procure.\u201c Poland, without her name being yet pronounced, herself, imposes herself by the force of things, on the thoughts of nations, of the cabinets and statesmen of Europe.\u201c A continual witness of these grave circumstances, and in a position to appreciate them near, guardian of your interests abroad and interpreter of your intentions, I have resolved, my dear countrymen, to address you the following advice : \u201c All the Polish nation in the vast provinces which form our country is, above, all unanimously desirous of national independence.All Poles, whatever opinions they hold, agree in acknowledging that if, according to the designs of Providence, they are called upon to a take a part in the contest, an energetic, and so to say, a military government, will be necessary as long as that contest shall last.\u201c The sovereign and unanimous decision, the fundamental proof of our national vitality, and the bond of our common union, excludes from admission any party who would disturb our unanimity by the premature discussion of the form of government which that party would urge upon the country for acceptance.\u201c Independence once secured, the nation alone would have the right to decide on the form of her government, and would spontaneously feel the propriety of taking into account the advice of friendly Powers.\u201c The emigration, more free in its movements, and not bound to equal reserve, will take care not to embarrass the national will.Its only mission is to watch and to be devoted abroad to the interests of the country as long as that country is in fetters ; and as soon as they are, if it please God, shaken off, to obey the impulse of the nation.\u201cIt is said, dear fellow countrymen, that you have màde everywhere a conspiracy of tranquility and wisdom.Strive to justify, to merit that assertion.\u201cReceive the overtures made to you from whatever quarter they come; but before you put entire faith in them, before you proceed to any spontaneous act, ask\u2014require real guarantees.\u201c These will be real when the Powers, or any one of them, shall have declared that independent Poland shall be strong and exist in her own right for the well-being of Europe ; when that power shall be occupied with the formation of a national army, under Polish chiefs, employing.with that view, the Polish officers who fill the contending armies; Then, but then only, run forward and re-unite yourselves from all parts ;

norhavewe been slow to inculcate on our countrymen the expediency of acquiescing in the solid advantages of a blockade instead of tempting fortune by speculative enterprises, promising no commensurate returns.To these views we steadily adhere ; but it is impossible to deny that the capture of Bomarsund considerably enlarged the field of judicious action.It was thought that guns could not destroy granite, whereas it is now proved that granite cannot resist guns.It has certainly not yet been ascertained how far the wooden-walls of our three deckers may be relied upon in a cannonade exposing them to the full fire of land fortifications, nor is it necessary to bring this question to any violent issue.Our artillery is so superior to that of our enemies that we may carry on our attack without staking too much on the trial, aud as long as these means of offence remain in our power, it appears to us exceedingly impolitic to abandon the field.That our fleets will have done good work by blockading the Russian squadrons, paralyzing Russian trade, and bring themselves safe again, is certainly true, but this is all the more reason for depriving the enemy of the smallest pretext for disparaging the results of the campaign.\u2014 Sweaborg or Cronstadt, and not Spithead, should now be the destination of Sir Charles Napier.shores of England, where the people and the Queen, I am sure, will be charmed to receive a visit from your Majesty.\u201d The Emperor bowed his acknowledgments, and, with much warmth of feeling, expressed an earn-hope\u2014\u201cQue sous les drapeaux de la France et d\u2019Angleterre qui forment l\u2019arc en ciel de la liberté le joug du despote sera bientôt anéanti.\u201d\u2014 (That under the^flags of France and England, which form the rainbow of liberty, the yoke of despotism will soon be annihilated ) This admirable sentiment was received by the company with a burst of applause.The health of the Empress Eugenie was afterwards proposed by Prince Albert.The Halifax Sun says that in consequence of the good crops of Nova Scotia, not four barrels of flour will be required from abroad the coming year where ten barrels were consumed during the past two years.{From the London Times, Sep.13.Sir Charles Napier is Coming Home.It is reported, and seems to be believed, that .Admiral Sir Charles Napier may be shortly expected in this country on his return from the Baltic.His arrival would, of course, imply that operations in that Quarter are at an end for the year, and that our fleet will soon find its way to England for the Winter.We must needs express an anxious hope that the rumour in question may not be true, for such a resolution on the part of our authorities would, we think, be unnecessary, ill-timed, and calculated both to damage the cause of the Allies and serve that of the Russians.\u2014w.eumpei mere- turn of the fleet from the waters which it now commands would be the approach of the Winter season.As the Baltic ports at such times are sealed up by ice, and the blockade of the Russian gulfs is effectually maintained by the natural operation of the climate, it would be clearly superfluous to add any artificial barriers to those already provided, even if it were possible for a squadron to keep tha sea at such periods of the year.Exactly, in short, as there was a time before which it was unnecessary that the Baltic should be guarded by an allied squadron to keep the sea at such periods of the year.Exactly, in short, as there was a time before which it was unnecessary that this guard should be continued, but that time has certainly not yet arrived.The period at which, upon an average, the closure of the Neva may be expected, is, as we recently explained, two months distant; and, even if preparations for the return of the fleet were commenced somewhat earlier, it is clear that four or or five weeks must still remain available for active operations.How, indeed, are we to reconcile the two facts that, while in the Black Sea the work of the war is just commencing, in the Baltic it should just be terminated?If enough remains of ihe Autumn to permit the siege of Sebastopol to be attempted, must not enough remain to allow of some further enterprise in the North ?We consider that this cessation of operations would be ill-timed, because everything at present suggests a contrary course.We have just learned our strength and the enemy his weakness ; the Allies have been encouraged, and the Russians disheartened.After believing somewhat too implicitly in the imputed strength of granite fortifications, we have just seen this persuation demolished by the test of experiment.The stone forts on which Russia relies have been shown to be no match for the floating batteries which represent the power of England and France.If the Edinburgh at 20*> yards in seven broadsides can knock a Breach in the towers of Bomarsund, why should not the same feat at Fort Alexander on the North side, or Fort Constantine on the South side of the island of Cronstadt ?In a contest which was a trial of strength between offensive and defensive systems that of the defence has proved the weaker, and nothing, therefore, could seem more impolitic than that the ass i Hants should at this very conjuncture relinquish the advantages obtained.The fall of Bomarsund appeared to open to the allied squadrons all the strongholds of the Russian gulfs, and it is clear from the despatch of General Ba-raguay D\u2019Hilliers that the result was actually regarded in this light.Where, then, can be the wisdom of foregoing a superiority thus established at the moment when it might be turned to good account ?Surely, if it had been found that we can destroy granite forts without risk of getting our ships awkwardly crippled, we might as well pursue the advantage as long as the season will permit.What, too, we may ask, if operations are to be thus prematurely closed, was the object of proceeding lately with such urgency in the equipment and despatch of gunboats for special service in the Baltic waters ?Every body observed that the chief risk encountered in the recent proceedings was that of grounding in the shallows, while the chief advantage experienced by our forces was in the superior range of our artillery.By a judicious application of these lessons we have constructed vessels with offensive powers of a most formidable character, vessels drawing only very little water, and yet armed with guns of enormous calibre and prodigious range.One piece of ordnance capable of throwing a heavy shot nearly four miles, has already reached the fleet, and, though this may seem of no great moment, it should be remembered that a single 10-inch gun, well placed and worked, had no inconsiderable share in the destruction of Bomar-sund.But there is time enough, we presume, before the end of this month, to reinforce the fleet with some of the gun-boat flotilla, and there would then still remain another month available for putting their powers in requisition.Why stop short at the fall of Bomarsund, with such fair opportunities left for successful progress ?We are now exactly at that conjuncture of af-airs when success would produce its greatest fruits, and when anything like evidence of weakness would be attended with peculiar disadvantage.Hitherto the war, though certainly productive of humiliation to Russia, has not been distinguished by any brilliant action on the port of the All,es.We have driven the Czar to seek shelter behind his fortifications, but we have not attacked him in his own position ; and if our forces are too strong for him, his defence is too strong for us.The consequence has been a temporizing and uncertain policy in quarters where a more decided success would probably have brought about a cordial alliance and these undesirable results are only too likely to be confirmed by proceedings which would appear to leave the field in the possession of our enemies.We have learned exactly what to anticipate from the policy of the Russian Government.If onr fleet retires from the Baltic before the season is actually closed, and while time and opportunity still remain for action, the Russians will instantly sally out into the seas thus conveniently vacated, will re-occupy the Aland Isles, hoist their flag again on the ruins of Bomarsund, parade their vessels along the coasts of Sweden and Denmark, and then issue a swaggering manifesto to the world, setting forth the .vv^rwïwirvvir» ro+fo® * ^ oHiod onnoflpAna tpï+V* NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.ALL ADVERTISERS by the Year or Agreement are charged extra at the usual rates of advertising, when they exceed the limits of their agreements.We cannot undertake to return rejected communications.Notices of marriages, births and deaths, can only be inserted when authenticated by some party known to the publishers.TO CORRESPONDENTS.No notice can betaken of anonymous communications.Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the name and address of the writer ;

je ne doutais nullement de celle de votre Majesté Impériale, mais l\u2019enthousiasme du peuple Français a mon egard a beaucoup surpasse mon attente.Vivons dans l\u2019espoir que votre Majesté nous fera bientôt le plaisir de visiter les cotes d\u2019Albion, ou le peuple Anglais et sa Majestie la Reine d\u2019Angleterfe seront, je suis sur, charmés de recevoir la visite de votre Majesté Impériale.\u201d \u201cThe gracious reception I-have met jp your empire wil{ never be effaced from my memory.\u2014 I could not entertain a doubt of that of your Imperial Majesty, but the enthusiasm of the French people has much exceeded my expectations.\u2014 We live in the hope that your Majesty will soon nive us the nleasure of vour oresence unon the Quebec, Sept.28, 1854.I know not whether it is because of any intrinsic difference between the delicacy of sentiment of a, so called, liberal and, soi-disant, conservative government, but certain it is that the ministry is still in existence, though it has sustained a defeat quite as damaging as that which broke up its predecessor.Forty-three members in opposition voted against eighteen on the ministerial side; yet there sit the ministry still on the treasury benches.The cause of this second Brodeur affair, will be amply detailed in the usual report, and, therefore, I need say nothing more about it than that its chief feature was an attempt at the proscription of Mr.J.S.MacDonald.Mr.Cartier had (shall I say the good taste ?) to take upon himself, in place of Solicitor General Ross, who was absent, the leading part in the shabby attempt to take revenge upon a gentleman, who was bold enough to contend with him for the honors of the chair.It is not my business to discover any man\u2019s motives ; but certainly there would be less ground to speculate upon motives in this case, if the motion had been made by one who had not been the rival of the person whose character was attacked.It is all very well to say that there was no such attack upon character, but that is not to be too readily believed.Whatever was intended, the act was a plain charge that, in the opinion of Mr.Cartier and those who voted with him, Mr.MacDonald was not a man honest enough to be trusted with the duties devolved on the Committee who are appointed to name the Election Committees, who, finally, decide on the petitions.The House put a marked brand, I am happy to say, on the attempt to disgrace one of its members, at the mere caprice of a rival, who alleged no reason, however frivolous, for his course, Mr.Cartier\u2019s self-willed impetuosity, backed by or backing the absurdity of Solicitor General Ross, dragged the ministry a second time through the dirt, as it did in the Brodeur case, when the same two gentlemen caused the Government to resign on a division, in a business, upon which, they afterwards confessed, the opposition was entirely right.The two are, certainly, the bad geniuses of ministries unhappy enough to have their aid, for never did any man provoke two such bad de feats, on such wretched battle grounds, in the short time which this Parliament has sat.Of course it will be said that this motion of Mr.Cartier\u2019s was not a ministerial measure.Here again we shall have a very doubtful assertion, for while the recollection that ministers of the Crown vowed, by all sorts of sanctions, one night, that the Speakership was not a ministerial question, and the next, declared that they resigned on account of the defeat then received, it is a little hard for any one, not a minister, either to know a ministerial question when he sees it, or to believe a minister when he points one out.It may, therefore, still happen that ministers, like Falstaff, may determine to \u201c live cleanly,\u201d and follow the example of Mr.Hincks, by resigning when they are beaten.However, whether technically ministerial or not,*înorally there can be no doubt of the fact.It is very possible indeed, that Mr.Cartier forced his unlucky views upon Mr.Morin as he previously did upon Mr.Drummond ; but every body must be aware that Mr.Cartier would not have moved in such a business without the ministry having given their consent.The alternative then for them is to have been the active promoters of it, or disapproving of it to have been too wanting in stamina to pull down at once so unlucky an attempt to asperse an opponent.Before leaving the subject, I must remark that this is the first motion in which a well defined line has been drawn between the Upper and Lower Canadian ministerialists.If I have read the list rightly, though several French Canadian gentlemen usually voting with the ministry, had the manliness to decline to go with them through Coventry, there was hardly one Upper Canadian member who voted with them.It was not one of the least amusing parts of the affair to see several gentlemen whose seats were contested all on the ministerial side of the House, voting to have a gentleman appointed by the speaker struck off the Committee, on alleged grounds of probable partiality, as if they could be suspected of impartiality in such a matter themselves.Upon the whole this afair was one of the most disgraceful with which any set of men could dirty their fingers.First of all it proclaimed the opinion of those concerned in it that the decisions of the election committees must neces- n O) is f-1 p\tAmount Assured.\tAnnual Premium originally paid.\tAllowance of 31J per cent.\tAnnual Premium now payable.\t£\t£ s.d.\t£ s.d.\t£ s.d.20\t1000\t20 17 6\t6 11 6\t14 6 0 30\t1000\t25 13 4\t8 1 8\t17 11 8 40\t1000\t33 IS 4\t10 13 8\t23 4 8 50\t1000\t48 16 8\t15 7 8\t33 9 0 60\t1000\t75 17 6\t23 18 0\t51 19 6 LOCAL DIRECTORS IN MONTREAL : \"Wm.Workman, Esq.| John Carter, Esq.MEDICAL REFEREE : William Fraser, Esquire, M.D.Every information relative to this Society, and the mode of effecting Assurances obtained, by application to JAMES DOUGALL, General Agent for Canada, Lemoine Street.July 21.\tTts 122 NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, OF LONDON.A SAVINGS\u2019 BANK FOR THE WIDOW AND THE ORPHAN.OFFICES\u201426, Cornhill, London ;
