but at the request of the chair he would do his beat Irishmen have much to boast of\u2014much in which they may take a legitimate pride.With good reason they may be proud of the groat men to whom their country has given birth\u2014of their Burke, their Gratian, their Curran and their Sheridan ; they may boast, legitimately, of their orators, their pbeis; and they may fleet, with pride, that they have furnished to the British Empire its bravest soldiers, and most illustribua captains.Not to the British Empire alone; but to Austria aud Spain, aud, above all, to Prance, tiro honor of whose flag the \u201cIrish Brigade\u201d had so oft maintained on many a hard fought field, in the hour of disaster, as at Blenheim, Ramifies and Malplaquetz, and in the moment of victory, as at Fontenoy, Well, under ail circumstances, had the brave soldiers of Ireland earned the motto on the banner presented to them by the House of Bourbon\u2014\u201c Semper et ubique fiddis'1\u2014always and everywhere faithjul In ail these things, in alt these great men, might the Irishman of to-day find a legitimate source ot pride.Yet sago as ha e been her statesmen at the Council-board ; sweet as have been her bards in song, and illustrious as bave been her soldiers, there was yet another class other sons of whom Ireland might feel still more justly proud ; that class which, beginning with rreland\u2019a great Apostle, aud continued ihrougb a .long line of Saintly Prelates and learned Doctois, have been this evening toasted in the person ot \u201c The Preacher \u201d I mean,, said Mr Clerk, the Clergy of Catnolic Ireland.Sprung from the people, bone of their bone and fl ish of their flesh the Clergy of Ira-innd had ever been the beet friends and advisers of their fellow countrymen.In many a dark hour of persecution, in sickliest and in poverty, the Clergy of Ireland had established their claims upon the Irish heart ; and ever ready to lay dowu their lives for th.ir flocks, oft had this noble army of martyrs in Ifirpoaed between tbe persecutpr and the persecuiei, the oppressor and his victim.Deserted loo oiten by their natural leaders, by their aristocracy, who, with some few brilliant exceptions, such us U\u2019Connell aud Smith O\u2019Brien, had generally espoused the cause of Ireland\u2019s enemies, iho people of Ireland had ever found true and in valuable friends in their spiritual leaders, the Clergy of Ireland.Hence the affection which subsists between the Irijhmah and his Priest.We rea l in the holy writ how, whan the Gibeonites hanged tlie sons of Saul, Rispha, the daughter of Aia, took hair-cloth, aud spreading it on the t-ocir, kept watch over their bodies from early spring until the autumnal rams fell ou the face of the parched earth ; and how she guarded the lifeless remains of her beloved from desecration, snffjring not the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.And this was a vivid image of the Clergy of Ireland watching over their peuf le, and protecting them from dangers from within, and dangers from without\u2014untiring and unceasing in their more than maternal solicitude for the.ir spiritual children.Hence, too, that peculiarity which distinguishes the love of Ireland as it exists in the heart of the trishma\", from the patriot am of other people.The heathen of antiquity were no strangers\tto love of country ; nor are the people of any land at the present day.But the leaning of the Irishman tor the land of his birth is more .than a natural riflection.In it, the hum ad and divine, the spiritual and the natural are blended as of old it was with the children of Israel\u2014to whom their fatherland was intimately and inseparably 'associated with that religion >vhich they had received from Moses\u2014and thus with the Irishman the love of fatherland was ennobled, elevated and satioti-fied by his love of religion and bis attachment to his Church Apologizing for the length of his remarks, which he at ribnled to tie intrinsic merits of his subject, Mr Cletk sat down after expressing.a hope that the mutual attachment betwixt priest and people, wtreb was so preeminently characteristic ot the Irish Nation, might always continue; and so-\u2014as it had been their mutual consolation in the past\u2014would it prove tbei- glory in that brilliant future which he firmly believed awaited Ireland and her children.(Applause ) The Chairman next gave : \u201c The Army and Navy, as composed of Saxon and Celt.\u201d Mr.Ktnnear was called upon to respond, when he rose and said :\u2014 He felt, what they nil must feel, how vain it would be to attempt to add to the well-earned laurels of the British Army and Navy, gathered, 63 they had been, in every clime, on every sea.He would, therefore; in tne few words with which he would detain tlum, coniine himself to the concluding senfim-ntof the toast\u2014\u201d as composed of Saxon aud Celt.\u201d Mr.K., then congratulated the company upon the perfect harmony and good feoiing, which prevailed in Montreal between Irishmea of either origin, po better evidence of which could be afforded, than the p:e senca on this festive commemoration of what was, more par iculaily, a Celtic festival, ef so many welcomed guests.He said, he was himself the native of a land of the Saxon and >he Geii ; a land which for centuries had been disturbed and impovirisked by tbe fierce jealousies, and contentions of these rival races ; but in which, now, although highlanders and iowlanders were siillptoudot their sires, and unwilling to part with ought, which redounded to their glory, the distinctions of race were absorbed into on^ c .-mmon nationality, one enmmon feeling of patriotic pride in tbe prosperity of Scotland, and the glory of her sons, he they highlanders or Iowlanders, Saxons or Celts, Abercrcm des or MacDonalds, Duncans or Campbells.Mr.K added, that he was well aware it would be alike unjust aud ungenerous, were be tr make this allusion to the Saxons and Celts of his own favored atberland, any matter of reproach to their kiud- agea, bad kept teaxons and Celia, although inka-bitiüg the same fair aud ferule land, distinct and separate peoples, to give utterance to any such sentiment, he would, however, say to bis Irish Irieuds, of either origin, surely you have now justice, where wrong so long prevailed; you have now 8} mphtby and good-will, where tyranny and force so long crashed your energies, and and embittered your lives ; let then \u201cbygones be bygones,\u201d and while stiil cherishing the memoiy of Celts and Saxons, take a leaf from the history of \u201c Canute Sco land/' and lemetubeiing the fate of every \u201c house divided against itself,\u201d uinua forget that, whatever your lathers were, you aie Iiush-men,\u2014having a common country aud common interests in sustaining that country's fame and welfare.know enough of the English gentlemen whom I see in this room to feel assured that they will regard the statement referred to in no other light than that of its being creditable to Irish industry, and Irish ability.The day is gone, sir, and gone for ever, in which \u2018William Pitt could say of England, that she was u jealous of Ireland\u2019s prosperity.\u201d (Hear, hear.) I have, it appears to me, said sufficient of material improvement in Ireland.Would it be agreeable to you, gentlemen, to hear a little of the march of mind in the Old Land ?(Hear, hear.) Mind, Mind alone, without whose quickening ray Jjggf, The world\u2019s a wilderness and man hut clay.Respecting education in Ireland, I find a most satisfactory account in an excellent book entitled \u201c Memorandums in Ireland,\u201d which I happen to have in my small library, written by Dr.Forbes, one of the Queen\u2019s Physicians.This gentleman publishes lists which, he says, gives as near an approximation as he could make of the present number receiving instruction in all the schools in Ireland, high and low.The total is 828,737, which, compared with the population in that year (1851), shows the proportion of scholars to the >vhole population, one in seven.\u201cThis statement, which I regard,\u201d says Dr.Forbes, \u201cas below the truth, places The Chairman then gave the next toast\u2014 \u201c Irishmen at home and abroad\u201d\u2014to which Mr.Matthew Ryan responded as follows :\u2014 Mr.Pres id nt, and Gentlemen\u2014Considering that, according to the best accounts we have, the Irish at home auU abroad number iu the present day not less than 'twelve millions, it would seem that the dutv which you have called upon me 10 discharge is not a little ariuous.But, 1 will assume that you oo not requiie me to tell i f the precise coudi ion individually of the millions at home, or the exact whereabouts of the millions abroad, and thai your object, merely, is t.> hear a good word of them gent rally.In this view ot the case, you will permit me tej say, that whilst you could have selected many more compe ent to apeak of .our people in eloquent and pleasing terms, you could not have called upon one more willing to speak well of them.(Cheers.) My knowledge of ihe character aud conduct o the Dish bus beeu such as, under all circumstances, to render it an agreeable duty lo me 10 praise and bon r them as a body.It would net be difficult, on this occasion, to make a more or loss granuiicqueut or poetic speech, aud the time has been when such a style would probably have been my choice; but, as we grow older we grow more prosaic, and 1 find myself day by day becoming more inclined to believe in the homely saying of Mr.(TUunuell\u2019a, that \u201c One fact was worth a cart load of asset Duns.\u201d (Hear, hear.) It would be easy lo adduce many facts to prove the well doing of the Irish just now, but 1 do think that I could not submit anything mere t-greoable than a siHtemeiU which I read a few days since in one of tbe \u201c Oxford Essays\u2019' of 1856.The essay is on \u201c The Land System of Ireland,\u201d and the writer, speaking of the gieat changes effected under the operauon of the Encumbered Esiaies Act, tells us as follows: \u201c The result ot this great social révolution is already displaying; itself upc-n the soil of Ireland.The cottier farms, except, perhaps, m the norih, have become very lew.A remarkable improvement is evident in the husbandry of larger farms.The cultivation of the turnip, and its natural consequence\u2014the fattening of cattle\u2014is becom- Ï-\t\u201crising leeds of sheep aud ot cattle are largec.urul fatter than they weii) ; and, m Ln*t*y piatce^, apiunct over rich patturea, formerly split up into aqua-lid cottier tioldings Many thousand acres have beeu drained sioco 1.844, aud are now fertile oat land and meadow.Within the hist twelve yeats, tlie railway system of Ireland has beeu created, and has brought the best markets for ite produce closer to its producers.Above all, a class of small proprietors iu fee has beeu formed out oi the wrecks of tbe old landlords, and tbeir newly buiL dwebiogs greet the sight m every county.The statiaticj.l'uib ej prepat ed by Gjvtrnment, verify these statements.The number of farms in Ireland at the close of the year 1854, had fallen to five hundred and n nety thousand; or not much over a half of those exisiitig iu 18fl.Oi those, the farms exceeding thirty acres in area, had risen to the number of one hundred and fifty-four thousand.I he extent of land cultivated, compared with that of 1841, appears to show an increase of one million of acres; hut we suspect that here there is some mistake.The extinction ot the cottier farms is further evidenced by the census returns, which show that the population of Roland, from 1841 io 185],\u2019lest two millions of its numbers.That these have ultimately been ab sorbed by emigialiun, is proved by tbe fact, that from 1847 10 1854, two hundred aud fifty thousand persons annually left -be Irish sbotea, and that, while io 1849, relief was given to two million and forty -three thousand souls, t us portentous multitude in 1855, had fallen to fifty-seven thousand.The gradual conversion ot tbe land into larger farms, and a tetter sUte of cu! tivatiou, appears from tbe returns of Irish agricultural produce.In 1847, the cereal produce of Ireland was estimated at sixteen million two hundred and fifty thousand quarters, and that of its roots and vegetables at eight million eight hundred thousand ions ; while the corresponding crops of 185^ are fourteen million, one hundred andeighly thousand quarters, and eleven million aud thirty eight thousand tons.These, figures show a small decline in the crops produced, but prove the subst.taiiou, to a largo extent, of a fertilising lor an exriausdng crop, the clear proof of a hetler land system.But the most remarkable lesfimony to improvement appeers in contrasting the value of the live stock oi 1841,\u2014which was calculated as worth nineteen million four hundred thousand pounds, with that of 1855, which, at the same rates, was ett mated at thirty three million and a half.No fact can more satisfactorily establish the great aud beneficial change of ti e laud system of Ireland ; a revolution from cottier tarms growing exhausting crops, and with few cattle to manure them, to substantial farms cultivated on.a proper rotation of crops, and well supplied with live stock.And although the rent oflaud iu 1855 is, perhaps, as high as it was iu 1841, it has not tisen in proportion with this improvement, which shows how Ihe competition for laud has diminished, Lastly, the Encumber 3d Estates Court, in the six years from 1849 to 1855, has effected the sale aud transfer of seventeen milliuiis1 worth of Irish land, which, hitherto, had practically been withdrawn from improvement.This enormous area has been distributed iuto upwards of eight thousand Etj, and, with veiy few exceptions, has been purchased by Insh Capitalists, who will hencefoith form a resident proprietary.And, up to the 1st.January, 1856, about an c-cptal amuiint of land remained lo sail, and pfobatny will be acquired by the same class of purchasers \u2019\t\u201c I think,\u201d said Mr.Ryan, upon concluding the reading of this extract, \u201c That this is a good account of the Irish at home.(Loud cheers.) But, good as it ta, I can improve upon it, by repeating to you a short, but most remarkable speech, lately made iu Ireland by the justly celebrated Mr.Dargau.At the dejeuner given by the direc ore of the Belfast and Ballymena Railway, on the occasion of opening the extension of tbe line to Cookstown, and which was attended bv the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, this eminent contractor said,\u2014\u201cWe have now spent upon railway enterpriser! about eighteen millioos of rnouey in this country.\u2014 Twelve millions of that have been eminently successful, and yield a most remunerative return to the shareholders.three millions are still struggling, but in the hope of a successiul issue, not being yet developed.Three millions have also being spent and developed ; and this being the result, 1 think that f may, without making any invidious comparison, explain how the matter stands.These twelve millions have been in the managi merit of our own individual people, our man of business of their own peculiar neighborhoods.The three millions not productive, hut still paying from one to three per ceot, are under the management of our own countrymen, but not yet fully developed.The three millions which produced nothing is purely English capital and English management- I do not say this for any invidious purpose, but I do say it for this purpose, that since I was ten years old, 1 have been bearing that we are unable to taka care ot ourselves-(laughter-)\u2014that we are unable t> do anything for our own prosperity, and that wo must have English capital, English judgment, English enterprise, English management, English everything.Why I bring this subject particularly forward is, with the knowledge that there is one great interest in which that doctrine so long maintained against us is totally and entirely disapproved.\u201d This is tolerably conclusive evidence, that the Irish at home just now, are getting on well in the world.(Loud cheers.) Mr.Dargan says that his reference to the three millions of English capital under English management, was made in no invidious spirit.I trust it is not necessary for me to say that, in repeating his words, I am equally free frem any such feeling.(Hear, hear.) And I believe I -d .I \u2014\t\u2014it-.v*f s\\f orln vrv-kMir f-\u2019i \u2022 \u2014 *%.1\u2014 England according to the estimate that has been usually hitherto made of the attendants at her schools), and places her still above England according to the greatly improved Census of\u201951.We had been accustomed to consider the pre-portion of children attending schools in England as not being higher than 1 in 14 or 15; and Mr.Kay, in his Book on Education, makes the proportion in 1850 to be 1 in 14.In my calculation I had accordingly assumed this proportion as approximately correct, and had so recorded it in these pages.But, since this chapter was at press, Lord John Russell has announced in parliament (April 4, 1853,) the proportion, ascertained by tbe last census, instead .of 1 in 14 to be 1 in 8:5.This very gratifying correction of an erroneous opinion, greatly lessons the assumed superiority of Ireland as to Education ; though, as already stated, it still leaves her the superiority.\u201d Is is now time that I should say a little on the other branch of my text\u2014the Irish abroad.There is no lack of evidence to show that this portion of the great Irish family are working out a good mission.The evening is too far advanced to admit of many more figures or book references, but there is one really elegant extract from the Istvol.of the Colonial Policy of the Administration of Lord John Russell, by Earl Gray, which I cannot forbear reading :\u2014 \u201c It is a remarkable circumstance,\u201d says His Lordship, \u201c in the present emigration from Ireland, that it is effected not only without charge to the public revenue, but with comparatively little demand upon the private means of individuals in the United Kingdom.The Emigration Commissioners have ascertained that the remittances made by former emigrants to their friends and relations in this country amounted last year to nearly a million of money, taking into ab-count only those remittances made by channels which admit of their being traced, and without reckoning the sums sent by private hands, or other means, of which it is known that the aggregate amount must be very large, though individually the sums so sent are usually small.It is highly to the credit of the Irish national character that there should exist generally amongst the humbler classes of the population, such strong feelings of family affection, and such fidelity and firmness of purpose, as are employed by the great extent to which this mode of conducting emigration has been carried.\u201d (Loud cheers.) All will admit that this is ajbeautiful tribute to \u201c Irishmen abroad indeed it is saying everything for them, for it is not#to be questioned that people blessed with such feelings and such fidelity, must be valuable citizens and settlers, and cannot do otherwise than prosper in the end.(Cheers.) I.would fain say another word on another theme\u2014Union among Irishmen\u2014 were it not that I have already occupied more time than ought to be claimed by things inïi;^^ .LÉfepag:ra ftalGliava vaaMnlained ^the this election, the Roman Catholic Vicar-General, the Rev.Dr.Burke, took a prominent part, and I find the following passage in a very able speecli which he delivered : \u201c Here I am, a Catholic Priest, proposing as a member for this preponderating Catholic constituency, a Protestant gentleman, and that in preference to five or six Catholic gentlemen who asked me for my support, and to whom I gave a decided, but of course, courteous refusal.\u201d These are remarkable words, Mr.Chairman.They seem to me to prove that in Ireland a man\u2019s religion does not de-nationalize him.Methinks, Sir, that Mr.Bagwell, the Protestant gentleman whom Dr.Burke thus supported, and who by the way was elected by a large majority, rvould not be denied membership in an Irish Nal tonal Society in Clonmel.I am not.here, gentlemen, to do what I have never done elsewhere, praise Irish Protestants beyond their deserts.1 believe, and I think I may, in this free country, and before this enlightened audience, safely say it, that as a body, they have not pursued the policy best calculated to elevate their country; but should this prevent me from believing and saying that numbers ot them have been actuated by the purest and most exalted patriotism.(Loud Cheers.) The famous Irish Catholic Bishop, Dr.Doyle, well says that \u201c the liberty of\u201982 was won, notby Protestantsjor Catholics, but by Irishmen.\" And who was the Irishman of that day, \u201c the purest, the brightest, the best ?\u201d Grattan, a Protestant, Irish talent, Irish patriotism, Irish nobility, belongs not exclusively either at home or abroad, to Catholic or Protestant.You have seen this, gentlemen, in your city.You have had the patriotic Protestant Waller, and the Catholic Tracey ; you have had the eminent jurist, O\u2019Sullivau, a Catholic, and the learned and eloquent and amiable Walker, a Protestant, (loud cheers,) and so on to the end of a bright chapter.I, for one, desire that these facts should be known and remembered ; and that the policy which they indicate, and which we see has been acted upon in so marked a manner by Dr.Burke, in Ireland, should be carried out in Canada.(Loud cheers.) Mr.Chairman and Gentlemen, I thank you heartily for the patient hearing, and the very kindly manifestations of approval you have honored me with.The Chairman next gave \u201cCanada the land of our adoption,!\u2019 to which Mr.Bristow ably and eloquently responded.\u201c The Memory of Father Matthew\u201d was drank in solemn silence, and Mr.Hurley thus replied : Mr.Chairman and Gentlemen,\u2014I deeply feel what little claims I can have upon your attention, in coming after the brilliant and eloquent gentlemen, to whom you have just listened with mingled wonder and delight, and therefore solicit your indulgent consideration whilst I am delivering the few words I have got to say in answer to the toast just given from the Chair.It has been said by a great orator that \u201c there is a principal in our nature which prompts us to rescue from obscurity and snatch from oblivion the names and the actions of those who have shone forth in their day benefactors of mankind.\u201d This sentiment in our breast, is at once the motive and the reward of the greatest creations of genius and the most brilliant feats of the warrior.If our mind glows with admiration for the often questionable and at times selfish products of exalted minds, and our souls thrill with unrestrained enthusiasm at reading of the imposing but harrowing aud destructive achievements of the genius of the battle field\u2014what shall be the limit of our admiration and the measure of our enthusiasm when paying posthumous tribute to the man, whose soul and ambition was not swayed by the fear of human censure or the hope of human reward and emblazonment; who, an humble friar, unaided by pecuniary fortune, unrecommended by ancestral lineage, conceived in his soul the sublime idea of rescuing a noble nation Iront what he felt to be an enslav-ving passion\u2014a passion too, that was in-interwoven with the manners and the habits of the people.The meeting of friends was made more genial by the glass.The bargain at tbe Fair and the Market should have a glass over it for good luck sake.At the christning and the Wedding Feast, the infant had its lips rubbed with the enchanting nector ; the bride hud to take a drop to warm her heart.But if this was the case with the humble and the poor, recollect the vice was not confined to them.No ; it was ruining the landed proprietors and bringing misfortune on the households of the great.Moore had sung his Bachanal songs and had thrown all the charms of a brilliant fancy around the talisman of the glass, whilst the noblest characteristics of the Irish heart and character, the soul-kindling enthusiasm, the ardent aud soaring imagination, the genial love of fun and sly humor, served but to fasten their attachment to so tempting a vice, and thus the nobleness that should elevate, and the generous humor and brilliant imagina-ation that should adorn them in human estimation, served but to perpetuate the evil and increase the obstacles to success.How grand, then, must have been the feelings of Father Matthew, when in contemplative perspective he measured the gigantic evil 1 How much was to be overthrown, and what a noble prize was to be won, and in the profound benevolence of his soul resolved on the blessed transformation of which he became the apostle.If moral greatness transcend that which is prompted by the love of fame or wealth, I know of no man who has higher claims on our admiration titan the Rev.Theobold Mathew, whether considering the vastuess of his conception, the stern and unfaltering execution of the idea, or the sublime abnegation of all self in working out the consummation aimed at, join to these a character-proud without arrogance, and dignified without effort, urbane and familiar without flattery or lessening his self respect, a heart unnarrowed by sectarian bitterness and a temper the shining cheerfulness of which misfortune could not cloud.Surely if there is one amid the numberless sainted names that have sacrificed themselves in defending and preserving and ameliorating our country, our altars and our character, that of the Rev.Theobold Mathew shall shine bright in the galiaxy of so many stars of exalted devotion and patriotism.\u201c The memory of O\u2019Connell\u201d was also drank, and Mr.M.P.Ryan responded.Mr.Chairman und Gentlemen,\u2014 I rt-g-it that some one mere competent than I am, has not been called upon to respond to the toast we have just drank if I were only able to convey to you a tithe of my feelings respecting that illus-t.-ia mon, I should feel saiisfioit.Vi by should I divell on this theme?The name of O Cornell,is not only known, but revered wherever the English language iaspoken ! From the day that he fhst entered the British Parliament, until the hour of bis death, his life was spent advocating liberty not only for Ireland and Irishmen, hutfor all, ir-r spective of creed, country or colour.If any proof were required of what I have stated, I would refer jo i to his refusal of a large sum of money contributed in the State of Lousiana, in aid of tbe repeal of the union, which he was then advocating The reason assigned by him was, that a cause so sacred, should not be tarnished by the reception of money from a slave holding iiiate.(Cheers.) 1 regret that his efforts on behalf of liberty were not as successful as they should have been ; but t hope ere this, ho has received tb® reward which is sure to await the good and the victorious.(Loud Cheers.) \u201c The Mayor and Corporation\u201d was next toasted.Mr.Townsend (the Acting Mayor t responded.He said, the pleasing duty of acknowledging the honor of litis toast, owing to the absence o'! his Worship the .Mayor, devolves nnnn\tt regret tirai ne ts not present to acknowledge it in a more suitable manner, but, gentlemen, J hardly think 1 should say i regret, for owing to that circumstance, I have spent a very happy social hour, and have been much gratified with the expressions of good will between Irishmen of various denominations, and I assure you that I have not only experienced pleasure but have received valuable information, and even instruction, from the various speeches of Ihe evening, and more especially from that of your gifted countryman, Mr.M.Ryan, whose liberality of sentiment does him honor.But I will be brief tn my remarks, for however well disposed f may be to tax youi pockets, I assure yon I am not disposed at this hour to over-lax your patience.Gentlemen, it is very common when a toast is drank, for the honored party to acknowledge his Unworthy ness.Now I am not disposed on 'behalf of the Members of the Corporation to follow-this course, for f think they are not unworthy of the honor, ft must be remembered that your representatives in the City Council are there for your benefit; they have to sacrifice much time, undergo much trouble and personal inconvenience, with no reward but your approval, and 1 think generally discharge their duty fairly and honorably: they are therefore entitled to your respect, but at the same time allow me to acknowledge the honor, and to return on their behalf my best thanks.A word on behalf of the Mayor.At his first nomination, Twas opposed to it, being favorable to the return of one of your most distinguished guests of this evening, a most estimable gentleman, and distinguished as patriot and statesman.I need scarcely meniion Ihe name ol Dr.Nelson, but I am bound lo acknowledge that your worthy Mayor agreeably disaopoinh d me ; he has discharged ihe duties of his high office in an effective, honorable and impartial manner, and is justly entitled to the thanks of the community ; for myself 1 beg most cordially to thank you for the pleasant and instructing eveuing I have spent in your society.At this stige of the festival, Dr.Nelson (the ex-Mayor) was loudly called for.In answer to the request (hat he should address ihe company, he briefly remarked that it was waxiag too fur into the night to mdulge iu any oxteedtd rematka, the mote especially as he was not asked to speak to any thing iu particular, he feated that he might bo induced t> indulge in some random observations,,that might nut be quite to the purpose or interesting.There was one toast, however, to which be would probably have responded ; but another gentleman, not a native ol Cuuada, was requested to discharge that duty, and that too in a far abler maimer' than he himself could have done ; and that there were besides three mere toasts to he proposed, each of which would naturally lead in inteiesting and happy remarks; after which the hour would have fully arrived when all sober and decorous men should bo safeiv i\u2018H('i-\"'-I at home.Theae, then, were more than sufficient reasons why ho should not occupy the time of this very agreeable and social meeting.He begged to express his sineerest gratitude for the kindness with which he bad The National SocretTes'\u2019\u2019'were also toasted, and thus responded to :\u2014 Mr.iVioHRAV, President St.Andrew\u2019s Society, in responding to the toast said :\u2014I have to thank you for the honour done to tlie St.Andrew\u2019s Society, by inviting trie, as its representative, to meet with you on this festive occasion, as also for the warm and enthusiastic manner in which the toast of \u201cThe Sister Societies'\u2019has been responded to.I can assure you that on this, as on a former occasion, I have been delighted with your hospitality, and with the order, good leeling, and sociality which has prevailed throughout the eveuing.I may sately say, that f only express the sentiments of every membet of the Si.Andrew\u2019s Society, and indeed of Scotchmen in general, when I state, that it is our sincere desire to cullivate the most harmonious and friendly feeling towaids, not only our Irish fellow citizens, hut towards all others of whatever nationality or creed.it is true, that differences have occasionally arisen, especially dm ing conti sted elections, but there is no reason why such should he continued.On the contrary, if we sincerely desire to benefit the city we live in, and this our common couniry, we must endeavour to bury all such differences, and strive, by united efforts, to secure still greater prosperity than that which we now enjoy.I am much pleased to learn from Mr.Ryan, as well as from many other sources of Ihe increased prosperity of Ute people ol Ireland.Certainly there exists hut little reason, now why they should not compete in material advancement with either England or Scotland; Their climate and their soil is luily .equal to the tonner, infinitely superior to those of my own country, and whatever grievances may in tithes gone by have checked\u2019the prosperity of the couniry and its people, these grievances are now nearly all abolished~a direct consequence of the increased enlightenment of the age.There is now, perhaps, but one monster grievance remaining\u2014one which 1 myself would go heart and hand with the people of Ireland in endeavouring to get rid of\u2014t mean the fact that still the great majoriiy have compulsorily to contribute towards the support of a church with which they cannot conscientiously unite, it gratified me much to witness this morning the numerous and highly respectable concourse which formed the procession in honor of the day.There certainly was ample evidence there of the prosperity of Irishmen in Canada.I sincerely trust that that property may continue and increase, and that your countrymen, Mr.Chairman; may continue to do good service to this the land of their adoption, and credit to the land of their birth.At this late hour of the evening, gentlemen, I will not detain you further ; but before sitting down I beg io be permitted lo propose the health of Mr.Doherty, who has so ably and eloquently discharged the duties Of the chair.(Cheers.) Mr iBuliner said, that as Pfetilent of the St.George\u2019s bocie.ty he owed them all a debt of gratitude, for the kind and feeling terms in which the Chairman had introduced the toast of the Sister Societies, and for the hearty manner in which all present responded toit.He feit he ceed not assure them that, as an Englishman, he rejoiced to meet such a body of Irishmen as are now here to commemorate the virtues of their p aron Saint, and to stir up recollections of ether days and other lauds.He said he had sometimes met wiihmen who discountenanced there national Societies as national distinctions, and who considered that as we were here such a mixed community, and so jumbled up together, so to speak, that wo ought all be Canadians, and nothing else ; but he had no sympathy with such ideas \u2014 Toe love of our adopted land is not inccmpalibie with the Jove of our native country, and that feeling is too deeply planted iy nature its the human bteast to he easily eradicated.He said, we have all, wbeiher Englishmen, irishmen, Scotchmen, Americans, or descendants of France, our peculiar national excellencies and virtues ; and let it be our part so to emulate and exemplify them, that when the fusion aud amalgamation of all the races now beie, shall have taken place, as take place it will, erelong, we shall nave done our duty ; aud we shall have laid a foundation for a Canadian nationality, that wi I rank amongst the great powers of tbe earth.Ha went on to say, that tie had listened with pleasure to all that had been said, and he was bound to say that every word uttered showed that the speakers were till animated by the best spirit What had fallen from Mr.Kyan reflected equal cic-dit upon the speaker and the Irish people whose cause he so eloquently pleaded.He said he would have liked t|j have made some remarks upon what that gentleman had said in reference lo Irishmen and Englishmen, had he not been forestalled by Mr.Bristow who had immediately followed Mr.Ryan, and who hud so ably and eloquently spoken upon that\u2014and as the hour was now so late he would not demin them, but merely say that lie concurred u what that gentleman had said.Before sitting down, however, ho would say that if Iristmen rivalled Englishmen in ail their virtues and g-.oJ deeds, and glorious actions, a?successfully as hey had that night id the an of getting up a good English dinner, it was time for them to bo Picking out fi r then1 laurels.For had be not for years known \u201c mine host\u201d U\u2019Meara to bo an Irishman, he would, from the spread laid before them that night, have put him dow n for a thorough Engl: s.:-mau ; ho cou.d account ior this, however, Irom the fact that he had taken lessons in an English school.He again thanked them in the name of the St.George\u2019s Society for the honor done them, and said he should not fail to communicate to the members the pleasant time he had spent with them that evening; \u201cThe Press\u201d and \u201c the Ladies \u201d followed, after which the party broke up.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.Toronto, March 18.Mr.Prince introduced a bill to punish cruelty to animals, and for other purposes, g; Mr.Morris moved the second reading of the bill from the Lower House repealing the Insolvent Debtors\u2019 Act.Mr.Benjamin, Mr.Patton and others opposed it.After some discussion, it was read a second time and considered in committee of the whole.In committee, Mr.Patton moved an amendment to allow proceedings already commenced to be carried on to completion.This was lost by the casting vote of the chairman.The bill was ordered for a third reading tomorrow.Un motion of Mr.Ross, the bill to enable Mr.J.C.Grant to confirm the sale of certain lands in the township of Hope, was read a second time and referred to a Select Committee.j| LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.Toronto, March 18.Last night, after report left, the motion was taken on Mr.Thibaudeau\u2019s amendment to the ministerial resolutions relative to the Seat of Government as follows :\u2014 Yeas: \u2014 Messrs.Aiken, Baby, Bigger, Brown, Bureau, Cameron, Cassault, Christie, Chaffers, Cooke, Chas Daoust, Darche,'Derrick, J.B.E.Dorion, A.A.Dorion, Evanturel, Felton, Ferguson, Foley, 0.C.Fortier, Fournier, Fraser, Galt, Gamble, Gould, Hartman, Holton, Huot, Jobin, Laberge, Marchildon, Merritt, Monroe, O\u2019Farrell, Papin, Pouliot, Rhodes, Rolph, Sanborne, Scatcherd, Simard, Thibeau-deau, and Valois.\u201444.Nays.\u2014-Messrs.Alleyn, Bell, Bellingham, Benjamin, Bowes, Broder, Attorney General Cartier, Cauchon, Cayley, Chapais, Chisholm, Church, Clarke, Conger, Cooke, Cryster, B.Daoust, Delong, Desaulniers, Dionne, Dostalles, Dufresne, Fellows, Ferris, Ferrie, T.Fortier, Gill, Guevremont, Jackson, Labelle, Laporte, Leboutillier, Lemieux, Loranger, Lumsden, McBeth, Atty.General McDonald, Roderick McDonald, McKenzie, McCann, Masson, Mattice, Magher, Mongenais, Jos.C.Morrisson, Angus Morrison, Mills, Patrick, Follette, Powell, Price, Rankin, Robinson, Roblin, Sol.Gen.Ross, James Ross, Shaw, Sol- Gen.Smith, Sydney Smith, Sommerville, Southwick, Spence, Stevens, Terrill, Turcotte, Whitney, Wright and Yielding\u201468.Whereupon, Mr.A.A.Dorion moved in amendment that in the opinion of this House the reference of a question of a purely local nature, such as the selection of a permanent Seat of Government undoubtedly is, to her majesty, to be decided by Her without the advice of Her Provincial Parliament, or of Ministers responsible thereto, would be at variance with the principles of local and self government, so long-contended for by the people of this Province, and the full recognition of which has been productive of the most happy results.The debate thereupon continued till the House rose.Mr.Polette introduced a bill relative to the Common at Maskinonge.Mr.Foley introduced a Bill to incorporate Waterloo.Mr.Benjamin introduced a Bill for the security of life on Railroads.Institution; Mr.Christie, a Bill respecting a road allowance in Brantford ; Mr.Simard, a Bill to amend the act relating to Savings Banks.In answer to Mr.Cook, Mr.Cauchon said it was intended to grant lands and make roads gratuitously in Lower Canada as they had done in Upper Canada.The orders of the day were then called, and the debate proceeded on Mr.Dorion\u2019s amendment, and continued till the House rose at 6 o'clock.Bytown was introduced into the debate in a singular, indirect manner.Mr.Johnson, (the celebrated \u201c Jemmy,\u201d) moved, seconded by Mr Derbishire : \u201c That Bytown is preferable to Que bec as regards the Seat of Government.\u201d The yeas on this motion were 6 and the nays 57.After an abortive motion for adjournment and another \u201c that measures should be adopted dur-\u201c ing the recess of the Legislature to remove this \u201c inconvenience,\u201d (that of the insufficiency of the buildings,) the second resolution, as we have printed it above, was carried.It is worth noticing these divisions, because they prove that, in 1842, there was the same difficulty which is experienced at present in obtaining a vote.The difficulty then, as now probably was not that there was not a large majority in favor of the best place ; but that the union of all these interested in places with inferior pretentions was sufficient to vote down any individual place, which, on the test vote, could hope only for the support of its own friends.The same difficulty occurs now There is no difficulty in ascertaining which place has by far the largest majority of votes, as compared to any other place ; but these votes are defeated by a union of all the less powerful pretenders, of whom none can obtain the prize they all court, except by a trick or an accident, but all of whom together are strong enough to outvote any one place.Leaving this consideration for a moment on one side, let us see what action the Imperial Government took on this vote of the House of Assembly, concurred in, we believe, by the Legislative Council, and sent home by Lord Metcalfe.In the following session, on a motion for papers, Mr.Secretary Daly presented the following message from the Governor General : \u201c The Governor General informs the House of Assembly in reply to their address on the subject of the Seat of Government, that he does not House copies of the communications which have passed between Her Majesty\u2019s Government and the Governor of this Province, relative to that subject ; but that the substance of the instructions issued to him is to the effect, that Her Majesty\u2019s Government decline coming to a determination in favor of any place as the future Seat of Government, without the advice of the Provincial Legislature ; and that Her Majesty\u2019s Ministry will be prepared to submit favorably to Her Majesty such addresses on the subject as may be presented by either or both of the Legislative Houses, in recommendation of either Kingston or Montreal ; provided that in any address for this purpose, from the House of Assembly, the House shall pledge itself to provide the necessary supply for the expenditure which may be expected to attend the permanent location of the Seat of Government at the place that they may recommend : it being understood that the selection is now necessarily limited to one of those places ; the former capitals, Quebec and Toronto, being alike too remote from the centre of the Province, and the plan of alternate sessions at one or the other of these last mentioned places being deemed objectionable and impracticable, on account of its manifest and extreme inconvenience.As connected with this subject the Governor General transmits a copy of a report from the Committee of the Executive Council, and a copy of a protest from one of its member on the subject thereof, which were submitted for the consideration of Her Majesty\u2019s Ministers.\u201d Here follows the elaborate report of the Executive Council in favor of Montreal, with Mr.Harrison\u2019s protest.On the 3rd November there was a call of the House, and on the motion declaring that it was expedient that the \u201c Seat of Her Majesty\u2019s Provincial Government for this Province should be at the city of Montreal,\u201d an amendment was moved tending again to refer to Her Majesty, saying that : 11 the whole Province will most cheerfully acquiesce in the signification of Her Majesty\u2019s pleasure on the subject, unfettered by any opinion of the Legislature.\u201d This was lost, 50 to 29, and after various motions tending to determinations on the place, the original motion in favor of Montreal was carried 55 to 22.If any augury is to be drawn from this proceeding, the Imperial Government will probably decline to assume the responsibility which properly belongs to the Colonial Government.In 1842, responsible Government was hardly acknowledged.It has since been long acted upon.« STS?* prm*rmm~i \u2022 their own affair?\u2022 We think that this will j a more flat refusal will be given to the demand, which is likely to be made.If we were to argue farther, we should say that what happened then must happen again, and that in spite of all delays, the choice must at last fall on the place which has the largest number of votes in the Legislature, and that place is, notoriously, Montreal.The appeal to England may prevent what is otherwise inevitable ; but we believe it will end as the same step ended fifteen years ago.The Seat of Government.\u2014This question was again discussed by the House of Assembly on Tuesday, and the circumstance has induced us to refer to the journals of Parliament, when the subject was before it in other days, to see what was done then, and then to make reflections on the probable course of events at present.The ministry, at the time we write, have not carried their propositions ; but the same number of our paper which contains this article, may probably contain the announcement that they have done so.In the event of this success on their part the inquiry naturally arises,\u2014will the Imperial Government act upon the request which is to be made to them, and assume an influence in our local affairs, which they have frequently and formally renounced ?It is impossible to form any really sound judgment upon this doubt, because in politics, foreign or domestic, we see a constant change in the principles by which states, and even individuals are governed, so that what appears to be the best established rule to-day is wholly set aside to-morrow.The interests of the hour seem to govern all things, and any settled notions on right or wrong, or even of expediency, taking that word in its broad sense, must be looked for elsewhere than among statesmen.If this were not the case, we might easily conclude that the Imperial Government would not undertake the invidious task of judging between parties too much heated by their interests to decide coolly for themselves.There was an epoch when responsible Government, as we now understand it, was not supposed to be so firmly established, nor on so broad a footing as at present.But even then, the Imperial Government rebuked the disposition of the Canadian Ministry to shirk responsibility, by declining to accept the office of arbitrator.This will be seen by the following history of what took place at Kingston in 1842.On the 5th of October, 1842, the House having gone into committee of the whole, after sometime spent therein, Mr.Hopkin\u2019s reported that the committee had come to several resolutions ; which resolutions were read at the Clerk\u2019s table and were as follows :\u2014 Resolved,\u2014That it is the opinion of this committee, that it is the undoubted prerogative of the Crown and conformable to the positive enactment of the statute of the Imperial Parliament of the United Kingdom, under which this House is constituted and assembled, that \u201c The \u201c place or places within any part of the Pro-\u201c vince of Canada for holding each and every \u201c session of the Legislative Council and Assembly\" should be fixed under the authority of the Crown.Resolved,\u2014That it is the opinion of this Committee that the building in which the Legislative Assembly is now held, and which was erected several years ago, for a different purpose, does not afford sufficient accommodation to enable the members to discharge their duty to their constituents, and that the position of Kingston is not central to the majority of the population and is badl3r provided with accommodation for the members, particularly during the winter, which is the season in which they can attend to their legislative duties with the smallest sacrifice to their general interests.\" The first of these resolutions having been carried by the House, in concurrence with the report of the Committee, it was moved by Mr.Boulton, in amendment to the second : \u201c That it is the opinion of this House, that Toronto is preferable to Kingston as a place at which to convene the Legislature of this Province.\u201d The yeas on this motion were only twelve to fifty-one.Mr.Malcolm Cameron then moved, probable by way of a dodge : \u201c That this House is \u201c respectfully of opinion that the Seat of Gdv-** eminent should be removed to Quebec.\" On this motion there were but three votes in the affirmative.Mr.Cameron then moved again : \u201c That this House is of opinion that the Seat of Government should, be removed to Montreal,\u201d which was negatived on the same division as the last.Assumed Ecclesiastical Censorship of the Press.\u2014In justice to our comtemporary, the Courrier de St.Hyacinthe, we translate the following temperate appeal to the public, from what we regret being obliged to designate as the intemperate judgment of the Bishop of St.Hyacinthe, on a matter, of which, if within his jurisdiction at all, his lordship has, very evidently, taken a narrow-minded and far from impartial view.We shall make no further comment on this episcopal interference with the liberty of the press, beyond repeating our regret that a respected and respectable prelate should have wandered so far from, what appears to us to be, the legitimate sphere of his high and important functions.{Translated from the \u201c Courrier de St.Hyacinthe,\" of the lOfA instant.) Another Proscription.We received on Thursday last, the following communication :\u2014 Bishopric of St.Hyacinthe, March, 4th.1857.To Mr.Guitte, Editor and Proprietor of the Courrier of St.Hyacinthe.Mr.Editor,\u2014For a long time I have deplored the anti-catholic tendencies of the St.Hyacinthe Courrier, which are manifested by quotations from profane (impies) and irreligious journals, especially foreign ones.I hoped, how'ever, that the calm and truthful address of my lord, the Bishop of Cydonia, (I have by me new documents which prove the craft and shamelessness (divergondage) of Mons.Chiniquy) I hoped, I say, that the address of my lord the Bishop of Cydonia, administrator of the diocese during my illness, \"would have rendered yon wiser and more discreet, at least on the Chicago business; but, unhappily, that has not been the case, and the new injuries and calumnies of the schismatic priest against the ecclesiastical authority of the church, and directly against the Canadian episcopacy, that you have republished with approbation, iu your number of the 3rd instant, fill up the measure, force me to withdraw\" my subscription to your journal, and make it my duty to protest openly against the publication of such writings in my diocese.I also do, by the present letter, w'hat I ought to render public.I am, Sir, Your very humble servant.f J.C.Bishop of St.Hyacinthe.First, let us say that this letter has been published in the Minerve of the 7 th of March, by order of his lordship.In spite of all the respect due to his lordship, the Bishop of St.Hyacinthe, w7e owe it to ourselves, \"and we owe it to our readers, not to allow accusations of the nature of those contained in this letter to pass in silence.We have for the ecclesiastical authorities that deference which every good Catholic ought to have for those who rule in the spiritual domain.But, in the present circumstances, we must protest, respectfully, but firmly and energetically, against the imputations launched against us to the four winds of publicity, however delicate the task may be.Besides, we are certain that his lordship would be the first to consider us altogether unworthy of our position as a journalist, if, under the blow of such accusations, and convinced, right or wrong, that they are totally unfounded, we did not attempt our justification.We have judged it d propos to entitle our defence \u201ca second proscription\u201d in order to bring to mind that, nearly two years ago, the St.Hyacinthe Courrier was proscribed from the College of this town.In order to justify this proscription they alleged reasons which appeared to us far from being just.On that occasion, as in the present, we did that which the public ought to expect from us : wre defended ourselves with energy and moderation, and put those who launched forth to the public, through the Press, false accusations against the Courrier, to the challenge to prove that which they set forth.Public opinion which is very rarely unjust in its judgments, was in our favor ; and\u2014God be praised I\u2014that which should have been able to carry serious prejudice against the Courrier, only served to make it popular.This is a fact which we state, and our books can prove it.We do not wish to raise up anew the discussion upon our difficulties with the college ; but we are happy to have the opportunity to express our lively gratitude to the public, who have so manifestly decided in our favor, on that unfortunate difference.And in thé present case, if, after having heard our reasons, they are convinced that the wrongs, with which we are re- proached, are unfounded, we hope that justice will be again rendered to us.The accusations, against which we protest today, are of a very grave nature ; and we declare it, in spite of the respect we have for the opinion of his lordship, if we were not confident that we are able to justify ourselves to the satisfaction of every impartial and disinterested reader, we would not hesitate to confess ourselves guilty of the evil conduct with which we are charged.His lordship even, we are certain, can only be pleased if we attain our justification; for we have too much confidence in his episcopal charity, to believe that his lordship would not be happy to see that those whom lie thought it his duty to censure, are still worthy of his confidence.\u201c For a long time,\u201d says his lordship, \u201c I have deplored the anti-Catholic tendencies of the St.Hyacinthe Courrier, which are manifested by quotations from protane and irreligious journals, especially foreign ones.\u201d Permit us to say that, in spite of our respect for his Lordship, we have not yet been able to understand what could have given rise to such an accusation against the character of the St.Hyacinthe Courier.He tells us that the Courier manifests anti-Catholic tendencies by quotations from profane and irreligious Journals, especially foreign ones.We may be mistaken ; but it seems to us that it would be very difficult to support this allegation with satisfactory proofs.In the first plaes, we never mix ourselves up with religious questions, and if we have published correspondenece on the subject of Mr.Chi-niquy\u2019s difference, is it not partly because we were engaged by those very persons who now reproach us for having allowed that question to be treated of in our journal ?When we have quoted foreign journals,\u2014when, to let our readers know what is passing out of Canada, we have published extracts from those journals, we have done it under the title of news upon political subjects, and often because those writings agreed with our opinions, in well understood political matters.But we have never published, permit us to say, articles from \u201c foreign journals\u201d whose tendencies were immoral or irreligious.Now, is it possible to manifest anti-Catholic dispositions when one does not go beyond the limits of politics ?Until proved to the contrary, we will uphold that the thing is only possible to those who mingle re- ligion with politics ; and that is what we are aflvays earth in nor xo cio.it nas been at- tempted to prove, nearly two years since, that \u201c democracy and the Church are incompatible,\u201d but there are in Canada, for example, thousands of Catholics, who protess democratic principles and has it ever been remarked that they were the less Catholic on account of their political opinions ?There is one thing that makes us think that his Lordship is under a false impression with regard to us.Almost all our readers are Catholics, and it is charitable to suppose that they all fulfil well those religious duties that the Church prescribes ; however, none of them have ever sent back our journal under the pretext that it manifested anti-Catholic tendencies.On the contrary, every day we add new names to our list of subscribers, and these are still Catholics.Is it that those hundreds of persons who read the St.Hyacinthe Courrier, are not enlightened enough to perceive that our journal wounds their religious opinions, supposing that the accusation brought against us should be well founded?The opinion of his Lordship is certainly worthy of respect, but would it be just, would it be charitable to suppose that, among so great a number of readers none should ever have been offended with those pretended anti-Catholic tendencies with which we are reproached, and should not have had the spirit or independence to let us know, if such had been the case ?It would wound the modesty of his Lordship only to admit it, and to throw the inj ury in the face of hundreds of in-telligent and respectable persons.We could bring forward a thousand other reasons to exculpate ourselves from the first accusation, perhaps the gravest ; but we appeal it to the judgement of the pnblie, to those especially who read the Courrier regularly.Let them put the question : has the Courrier really manifested anti-Catholic tendencies since its commencement ?and the reply we are certain, will be far from unfavourable to us.Besides, we ask it of every one, would it be for our interest, would it become us in the interest of our journal and the cause of the people that we defend, to manifest anti-Catholic tendencies in the midst of an eminently Catholic population.\u201c I hoped, however,\u201d continues his Lordship, \u201c that the calm and truthful address of Mgr.the Bishop of Cydonia, administrator of the diocese during my illness, would render you wiser and more discreet at least on the affair of the Bishop of Chicago.\u201d We are still obliged to differ from his lordship on this point ; for we have quite another idea of the duties and the liberty of the press.We do not know to what point the right of censure reaches ; but we are of opinion that that point ought to be the liberty of the press.One ought to expect that in publishing in the newspapers articles against Mr.Chiniquy, that gentleman would have recourse to the same means of dearticle coming from the adversaries ot Mr.Chin- j iquy could not refuse to open its columns to the publication of another article designed tojustily that gentleman\u2014ana vice versa.As a general rule, that is the course which, in honor, an independent journal ought to observe.For example : let us suppose that the Montreal Herald, whose proprietors and editors belong to a different creed from us, after having published the first letter of Mr.Chiniquy, had refused to publish that of Bishop O'Ragan, the Bishop of Cydonia asking them to do so ; would it not be right to accuse the Herald of partiality in such a case ?Well, that was exactly our position with regard to the priest of St.Anne.We had inserted in our columns two letters against Mr.Chiniquy\u2019s pretensions ; was it not right to expect that we would publish his last letter ?And is it not in this light that the public will look at it?His Lordship afterwards accuses us with having re-published Mr.Chiniquy\u2019s letter \u201cwith approbation.\u201d Well, frankly, we have read over and over the extracts and analysis that we have made from Mr.Chiniquy\u2019s letter, and we are still at a loss to know what can have induced his Lordship to think that we had taken part and cause with the priest of St.Anne.We never had the intention of giving our private opinions on that question, and, we believe, never have done so.Besides, this was the firm decision to which we had previously arrived ; and we are confident that the path which we had marked out, we have followed strictly : let an impartial public judge.For the rest, one will soon perceive that sympathies do not fail the Courrier in this grave difficulty.We have not met a single person who has told us that the Courrier was wrong in publishing Mr.Chiniquy\u2019s letter ; but we have met many who have approved of our having done so.Neither have we met any one who said that we had taken part and cause with or approved of Mr.Chiniquy ; but we have met many of the highest respectability, who have told us the contrary.These sympathies do us honor and are a consolation to us : we are glad to appeal to them.Mr, Chiniquy\u2019s letter was published in the St.Hyacinthe Currier, under the heard of \u201c informations.\u201d The question concerning the difficulty of this gentleman with his bishops have long since passed into the realm of publicity, and we consider that they not only treat of a difference between a priest and a bishop, but they implicate the interests of a whole flourishing colony, founded in a strange land by our fellow countrymen.It was under this head and in remembrance that there have been great service rendered by Mr.Ghinquy, to his country, that his difficulties with his bishops attacted a very lively interest among the French Canadian population.Also, we well know that the most part of our readers would have prefered that the last letter of Mr.Chiniquy had been published in full in our journal, but we thought that it would be sufficient to analyse that letter, and to make extracts from it, in order that no one could accuse us of partiality.That was our end, and they are mistaken who suppose we had other motives.His Lordship insinuates, directly enough, that we published Mr.Chiniquy\u2019s letter on account of our pretended, anti-catholic tendencies.Well what we are goieg to say proves that we were actuated by very different sentiments from those that he imputes to us.We had received the manuscript from Mr.Chiniquy, bearing the signature of that gentleman, with a request to published it in our journal, and we have had occasion to let a great many persons see that manuesript.From another party we had a copy of the Herald, which contained that same letter of Mr.Ghiniquy.But we thought it would suffice to show ourselves impartial and just towards Mr.Chiniquy to make an analysis of his letter, so far as it could be analysed, and to translate literal}7 such passages as could not be easily analysed.Well, we ask of those who have read in full the letter of the priest of St.Anne : did not our analysis diminish by half the force and effect of it ?We do not hesitate, then to say that if any one has a right to complain of us in this matter, they are Mr.Chiniquy and his friends ; for far from attempting to prejudice our readers in favor of M.Chiniquy, there are many persons who would be right in accusing us of not having done him full justice.We believe we have said sufficient to justify ourselves from the grave accusations brought against the character of the Courier.The public ought to take notice of our moderation: strong in the conviction that we are not guilty of the wrongs that are ascribed to us, we have kept within the bounds of the question raised against us, certain also that the public will overlook personalities, and confine their attention to the questions of right.Por that which concerns us ; could we not appeal to what the Courrier has done during the five years of its existence?Could we not prove clearly that they aim unjustly at the liberty of the.press, that they try to take away from the people the influence of a voice whose vigour and energy are never abated for a single instant, when it is acting for their interests, to obtain reforms which they demand, in fine when defending their rights.Could wo not, if, as they pretend we had pronounced in favor of M.Chiniquy, refer to the invaluable services that he has rendered to his country\u2014services that the Provincial Legislature knew how to recognize and worthily to reward\u2014in order to arouse the sympathies of the public in favor of the Apostle of Temperance ?But We are too well convinced that the heavy accusations put forth against us are unfounded, to adopt indirect means with the object of inveigling the public into giving a favourable opinion of our acts and motives.Let that redoubtable tribunal called public opinion, decide : we submit our cause to it with entire confidence.Rifle Company, No.4.\u2014On Tuesday evening Captain Devlin and Lieutenant Mullins gave an excellent dinner to their men of the 4th Rifle Company, at Irish\u2019s.As a mark of respect for the late Father Mathew,\u2014it being the first St.Patrick\u2019s day since his decease\u2014the dinner was conducted on temperance principles, and we were glad to see that everything passed off with the greatest hilarity and good feeling.Captain Devlin occupied the Chair, supported on either side by Lieut.Colonel Wily and Colonel David.The cloth having been removed, The Chairman said that he had selected that evening\u2014the anniversary of Ireland\u2019s patron saint\u2014on which to meet the men of his Company around the festive board, and he did not believe that he could have selected a more appropriate one.He never attended a dinner from which he derived more sincere satisfaction, for he saw before him a body of men who had organised themselves for the purpose of defending their common country, should occasion ever require it (cheers)\u2014men who had ever shown him the greatest courtesy and respect.\u2014 (Cheers.) Although they were Irishmen, yet he could say that no man who had applied for admission into No.4 Company had ever been asked what country he belonged to, or what creed he possessed, whether he was an Englishman, an Irishman, ora Scotchman, (cheers), or whether he was a Catholic or Protestant.\u2014 (Cheers.) Still they should bear in mind that they were Irishmen, and\u2014as was well observed by the eloquent preacher in the morning\u2014the man who forgot his native land was unworthy of the name of man.(Cheers.) Every man should have a patriotic feeling for the land in which he drew his first breath.Hence it was that they celebrated that day, not because they wanted to give offence to any man, but because they were Irishmen, (cheers), and he hoped that stripes which they wore that day.(Cheers.)\u2014 Should ever an opportunity present itself, he felt sure that the gallant No.4 would give a good account of themselves.(Cheers.) Although they had never been in battle, they had acquired a good reputation for their soldier-like conduct and bearing.(Cheers.) That being so, he would say, let them endeavour to maintain their position, and do nothing that would forfeit that appreciation of their services which the highest military authorities had expressed.(Cheers.) He would conclude by proposing the day they celebrated\u2014St.Patrick\u2019s Day.\u2014 (Cheering.) Band\u2014Patrick\u2019s Day.A Song from Mr.Gleeson.The next toast was the Queen, which was drank with great enthusiasm.Band\u2014The National Anthem.A song from Mr.F.Belle.The Chairman said that it gave him great pleasure to propose the next toast on the list, and in doing so, he could not refrain from making a passing allusion to the Crimean War.The success of that war did not depend upon Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotchmen, or Frenchmen in particular ; but it depended upon the United Armies of England and France (cheers) ; and for such a happy consummation he thought that great praise was due to that distinguished man who now filled the throne of France.(Applause.) He would therefore give them Napoleon III.The toast was cordially received.Band\u2014Pour la Syrie.\"A Song from Dr.A.Nelson, of the Cavalry.Lieut.Mullins said that he had a toast to propose which he had no doubt would be cordially received.It was almost unnecessary for him to say in such an assembly, that strict obedience was due from soldiers to their Commanding Officers ; and to show their respect for their superior officers, he would propose the health of the Commander-in-Chief.(Lond Cheers.)

He would give them \u201c the memory of Daniel O\u2019Connell.\u201d Drank in solemn silence.The Chairman, after paying a feeling tribute of respect to the good and virtuous Irishmen, Father Mathew, who had devoted his life and his fortune to the promotion of the temperance course, amongst his countrymen, proposed the memory of \u201c Father Mathew.\u201d The toast was drank in solemn silence.The Chairman said they were all aware that a gentlemen resided at Toronto who exercised a control over the Militia force of the Province, and he (the Chairman) could say that, in all his official intercourse with that gentleman, he had received the greatest courtesy.He would, therefore, give them as a toast, the health of Baron DeRottenburg.Drank with the utmost enthusiasm.Lieut.Mullins, in proposing the next toast, expatiated at considerable length on the kindly feeling evinced by Col.Dyde, commandant of the Militia forces, towards No.4 Company.He (Lieut.Mullins) was sure that, in proposing that officers health, he was only doing him an act of justice, not only for the interest he had ever taken in No.4 Co., but for the efficient manner in which he had organised the Active Volunteer Force of Montreal.(Loud Cheers.) Without further preface he would give them as a bumper toast, \u201c the health of Colonel Dyde.\u201d (Renewed cheering).Band\u2014\u201c The Volunteers Grand March.\u201d Colonel David of the Cavalry responded on behalf of Colonel Dyde, and in doing so said, that the Commandant of the active Militia forces had ever evinced a kindly feeling towards No.4 company ; and should circumstances arise which would call forth their services in the field, he (Col.David) was sure that that company would he found\u2014where Irishmen had ever been found\u2014 in the front of the battle, (great cheering) to defend their Queen and Country.(renewed cheering.) After a few more observations, the gallant Colonel concluded by proposing the health of the chairman, Captain Devlin.The Toast was received with great enthu-sism.The Chairman, in returning thanks, impressed on the men of his company the great advantages to be derived from sober, steady conduct, and said that no man could hope to rise to any eminence in Canada, unless he possessed habits of sobriety and perseverence.He concluded by referring in feeling terms to his early history in Canada, and complimented Sergeant Rooney for the efficient state in which he had brought the men of No.4 Company.The Chairman shortly after rose and proposed the health of Colonel David, who had ever proved himself the warm friend of Irishmen.The toast was enthusiastically received.Colonel David having responded, The Chairman said that they had been complimented by high military authorities on their a fficient state of discipline but soldiers could never arrive at an efficient state unless they had good officers.They had present that evening as one of their guest a gallant Colonel who, by his uniform courtesy and attention, had gained the approbation not only of No.4 Company, but of the whole Militia force.(Loud Cheers.) He would propose as a bumper toast, \u201c The health of Lieut.Colonel ,Wily.n (Immense cheering.) Band\u2014We won\u2019t go home tiil morning.Lieut.-Col.Wily on rising to respond to the toast was received with great enthusiasm.He said :\u2014Capt.Devlin and men of No.4 Company, when united to meet you here this evening, I had but one dread in coming, and that was the inevitable speech I knew your kindness would doom me to.As you all are aware no doubt by this time, I am no speechifier, I can only address you with any satisfaction to myself on parade.I feel deeply gratified for the kind and flattering manner in which your Captain has proposed my health, and the frank and hearty way in which you have received it.1 really hardly know how I have deserved it, for your zeal and anxiety to acquire a knowledge of your military duties have been such as to leave me comparatively little to do.Yesterday, at the Field Day, in which we took part, a most distinguished officer, whose approbation is praise enough, more than once spoke approvingly of the Rifle Companies, and I felt proud of being your Colonel and at the head of such a body of men as were collected there, and of which you formed part.When I look at the faces now turned towards me, it seems to me as if I could claim you all for friends : and, really, if the stories we hear about garotters in Montreal are true,_ I shall consider myself the best protected man in it, for I feel as if there was not a street in Mon- treal that would not give me one Rifleman, or more, to the rescue, in case of need.(Cheers.) Your Captain just now observed, very properly, that a man should not attempt to speak unless he had something useful to say.Acting on that hint, allow me, as your Colonel, to give you a few words of advice, Bear in mind that you have a double duty to perform ; first, as citizens, to which your duty as soldiers is but subordinate, and of secondary importance ; and next is, that when you don the soldiers uniform, you should also assume with it, the soldierly virtues of discipline and obedience.Bearing this in mind, never when in uniform do anything that will bring discredit on it.Misconduct then ceases in a great measure to be that of the individual, but reflects on the whole company at large, whose honor and good name he has intrusted to him.It even goes further with an ever widening circle, until it includes within it, not only the reputation of his company, but that of all volunteers not only here, but throughout the country at large.Allow me again to thank you, for your kindness and good feeling, and to wish you all every success and happiness.\u2014(Loud cheers.) The remaining toasts of the evening were\u2014 \u201c The Rifles of Montreal,\u201d \u201c The guests,\u201d \u201c The Ladies,\" \u201c The Press.\u201d Mr.Coleman of the \u201cHerald,\u201d responded on behalf of the Press.The company shortly after separated, highly gratified with their evenings entertainment.The late Field Day and Sham Fight.\u2014We have much pleasure in publishing the following gratifying and graceful testimony of His Excellency, Sir William Eyre, to the creditable efficiency of our friends of the Active Militia Force of Montreal :\u2014 HEAD QUARTERS, Montreal, March 17, 1857.Genf,ral Order.The Lieut.-General commanding, having had an opportunity of seeing the Volunteer Field Battery and Foot Company of Artillery and the Volunteer Militia Rifle Companies manœuvre îcTajesty'^S9th fcgimen.c of foïïÇ'dê\u2019siris toTex2 press his satisfaction at the soldier-like steadiness and appearance of these Provincial Forces.The manner in which the field battery took up its position on the ice and opened fire, was most creditable, and the general conduct of the whole was satisfactory.The alacrity, also, with which the officers and men of these militia forces turned out at the request of their Commandant, Lieut.-Col.Dyde, shews an esprit highly commendable and full of promise.(Signed,)\tW.J.D\u2019Urban, Colonel, D.Q.M.G.\u201cPrivate and Confidential.\u201d\u2014After a rigmarole in defence of what no one disputes\u2014 namely, the right of the Governor General to correspond privately and confidentially with his principals in Downing Street,\u2014the Gazette's Toronto correspondent \u201c very wisely \u201d says :\u2014 \u201cThey (such private and confidential despatches) are neither \u2018 unconstitutional\u2019 nor irregular,\u2019 though perchance the reference to them may be so considered.That, I admit, is fairly open to question and debate\u201d\u2014\u201c Which, everybody can deny, deny !\u201d for how can there be any \u201c question\u201d or \u201c debate\u201d as to the utter absurdity of appealing to letters, the seals of which cannot be broken ?The late Calamity.\u2014We elsewhere give such further particulars connected with the late frightful catastrophe as have reached us.We observe that our puffing friend in Great St.James' Street is very unwilling to be stripped of his stolen plumage.Those who choose can compare our account of the catastrophe on Saturday morning, witli the Gazette's, and they will find on how much useless repetition our self-satisfied, self-laudator grounds his impudent claim to having published any details, in advance of all his contemporaries.His assumption of his having done so, is, we repeat, a specimen of petty, unprofessional quackery and puffery, quite unworthy of a journal of the Gazette's standing and charaéter.Newfoundland.\u2014We published, a few days ago, an abstract of the provisions of the lately-signed convention between England and Prance relative to the fisheries off Newfoundland, for which we were in,teh^R^*»Ue that convention had occasioned intense excitement at St.Johns\u2014the information having reached our Boston contemporary by telegraph.Vacancy in thé Representation of Quebec .\u2014The Quebec Gazette says that Dr.Blanche!

Hamilton, Sunday Evening.At 3 o\u2019clock the body of the Rev, Mr.Booker, Baptist Minister, was placed at the foot of the pulpit in his own church in Park Street.Mr.Harper, was listened to with breathless attention by a large and sorrowing congregation.The church was draped in black.After the sermon the funeral took place, the body was attended to the cemetery by a large assemblage.As several of the unfortunate passengers were buried to-day, the scene nt the cemetery was gloomy and sorrowful in the extreme.The three or four other funerals which took place, during the day, were also very numerously.attented.Ex-Councilman Donald Stuart\u2019s remains were conveyed to St.Mary\u2019s cemetery, the Bishop being at the head of the procession, which could not have comprised less than 80 carriages, besides thousands of pedestrians.Mrs.Stevenson\u2019s remains and those of Mr.Henderson, were conveyed to the Burlington cemetery together, and followed by a still larger number sf carriages.Many7 parties took the opportunity afforded them to-day, of viewing the scene of disaster.The men were at work clearing the canal of the debris of the bridge and broken cars, from an early hour, But no additional bodies have been raised.It is probable, however, that several of the missing bodies yet lie in the canal, between the abutments of the bridge,\u2014as several times during day, the workmen who were drugging the Canal with hooks, attached to long poles, brought up sieces of wearing apparel, such as neck ties, portions of females dresses &c.The regular search for the bodies has not, it is presumed, yet commenced.But one or two men have yet been employed at this work, and no regular grappling irons seem to have been used.Those men at present engaged dragging are floating on rafts\u2014but one on each raft, and it eannot be expected that in such a position and without grappling irons, many bodies can be brought up.The main object at present seems Jto be the clearance of the canal of the floating timbers and ice.As the timber of the cars and bridge is dragged from the water, the practice appears to be to burn it.So that persons visiting the scene of the disaster lately\u2014 and not acquainted with this fact\u2014have been work lying about.The wide and deep abyss created by the falling in of the bridge, yawns before them, but scarcely a vestige of the timber remains to be seen.The wojkmen it appears, burn the timber taken up, in order to extract the iron bolts, &c.The bridge itself, is, it is said, built of pine.When first the project was undertaken, Mr.Benedict, who was then, I believe, the Engineer of the line,had plans drawn up for its construction, it was to have been built of solid oak\u201419 inches by 10 inches in thickness.Subsequently, however, it appears that an Engineer named John T.Clarke, who is said to have a large interest in the New York Central and Michigan Central Railroads, assumed the Engineering of the line.He did not concur with his predecessor as to the necessity of constructing a bridge of such strength over the canal.The result was that his economic idea was adopted ; and a person, named Whipple was sent for, and constructed the bridge\u2014not of oak but of pine timber 5 inches by twelve thick.Whether this version of the matter is correct, or not, remains to be seen ; and will doubtless be known on Tuesday, when it is expected some Engineers will be examined.Such however is the current rumor.Mr.Clarke and Mr.Keefer have been making an examination of the bridge and also of the line in its vicinity.Hamilton, Monday Morning.The operations of the workmen have now assumed a new direction.At an early hour this morning they commenced repairing the bridge, which has been swinging on one side since yesterday.Their operations were, however, partially put a stop to, by Mr.Stephen Richards.In the prosecution of his duties as Counsel for the Crown, on the inquest, Mr.Richards visited the scene of disaster this morning at about nine o\u2019clock.And, finding the carpenters, and other workmen, busily engaged in repairing the wooden-work of the bridge, he gave orders that the principal portion of it should not be touched until it had undergone a full examination from the Engineer to be examined on the inquest.The necessity of preventing the bridge being repaired until it had been thoroughly examined by scientific gentlemen, ought to have suggested itself to the proper officers.An examination of the bridge has been made already by7 some engineers ; but the strictest examination is necessary in a case of this kind.The magnitude of the interests at stake are such as to imperatively demand it.To say the least of it, this act appears ill-advised and premature.The prevalent opinion in cases of this nature, is seldom in favor of the Company and in this instance a strong opinion has gained ground, that the disaster, which has left desolate a hundred hearths, has resulted from accident.The Toronto train having to stop this side of the canal, the engine cannot be reversed for the return trip, until the train arrives at the Wellington Square Station.The body of the late Mr Moore, of Galt, was conveyed to Toronto by the morning train, to be interred in the Necropolis.Hamilton, Monday Afternoon.To day is a day of mourning.Business is entirely suspended.The sound of the death-knell reaches the ear at intervals.From every congregation in the city, pray7ers and supplications are addressed to Heaven against a recurrence of Thursday\u2019s tragedy\u2014mingled with entreaties that the dreadful and startling lesson may not be lost on the living.Funeral sermons are heard in every pulpit.Hundreds ot people throng to the scene of the disaster, and spend hours in conjecturing the cause of the accident\u2014how many bodies yet lie at the bottom of the canal, the amount of blame to be attached to the Company and many other matters, Leaving them to their conjecturers, we will turn to the stone freight house, where the five unclaimed bodies are lying in their white shrouds and black coffins, waiting to be buried.It is not probable that their names will ever be known.Yesterday, as has already been stated, was a sad day.Funerals of unprecedented length wound their tortuous course through the city to the cemeteries.To-day witnesses a recurrence of the same sad scene.The body of Captain Sutherland, who was so well known and so universally respected, was followed to the grave by an innumerable concourse of mourners.Mr.Feme\u2019s funeral was a large one.It would not be possible to give accurately the number present.They must be reckoned by thousands.There are strong grounds for apprehending that many of the bodies under the bridge will never be recovered.A very strong current is, owing to the late thaw, especially observable from the canal into the lake.The muddy nature of the bottom of the canal is also against the recovery of the bodies.It was originally intended to give all the sufferers by the calamity a public burial.This idea was abandoned, as the friends of the deceased claimed their dead.It is probable that the unclaimed bodies will be interred to-mor-row.The Funeral of the late lamented Mr.Zimmerman took place yesterday.The concourse of the people assembled to witness and take part in the funeral ceremonies, was immense.At the lowest estimate there could not have been less than 5,000 or 6,000 persons present.The funeral cortage started from the Clifton House between one and two o\u2019clock p.m., and proceeded by the back lodge, round ty the Clifton House, to the River Lodge, and from thence to the place of interment, at the bottom of the hill on which the Clifton Lodge stands.The number of Masons present, is estimated to have been between 600 and 700, who were all dressed in full regalia, and formed a very imposing procession.They were preceded and followed by bands, playing appropriate music.The hearse succeed this procession, and was drawn by four black horses.On the coffin was placed the sword, hat, feather, and jewels, the full regalia of a Knight Templar.Then followed the immediate relatives, including Mesrs.James and Martin Zimmerman, Mr.Joseph Woodruffe, Mr.Dunne, brother-in-law to the deceased, and several others.Next came the chief mourners among wham we noticed Mr.Macbeth, M.P.P., Mr.'Rankih, M.P.P., Hon J.C.Morrisqn, Receiver General, Mr.Angus Morrison, M.P.P., Mr.A.McMicken, and Mr Geo; Wilson, of England.Carriages and vehicles, to a very large number followed to the Lodge, where the coffin was removed from the house.The procession was as follows : Band, The Knight Templars, Other Masons, Band, The Hearse, drawn by four horses, Relatives of diseased, Chief mourners, Carriages &c, Each side of the road in the vicinity of the burial place was densely thronged by a sorrowing assemblage, so much so, indeed, that the carriages had barely room to pass by.A portion of the burial services was read in the Lodge by the two Clergymen officiating on this occasion ; and another portion in the vault, which lies at the base of the hill immediately beneath the Clifton Lodge, and near the Fountain, erected last summer by the deceased.The service having been concluded, a very fooling and appropriate address was delivered by the principal members of the Order.The Chaplain\u2014one of the officiating Clergymen\u2014 the members of the Masonic body and all the friends assembled in prayer.Subsequently, the Masons present, formed a circle round the vault, when the emblematic service practised by the Order on similar occasions, was proceeded with.The members advanced, to the coffin from opposite sides of the circle, each member dropped a sprig of evergreen on the coffin\u2014and then both members paired off to the private grounds\u2014the procession being, as before, preceded by the Band to the Clifton House, where they dispersed.Among the Canadian Masons present we observed the Provincial Grand Master, Mr.Ridout; Mr.Foley, M.P.P., Mr.Fraser, M.P.P.Deputations were also in attendance from the Lodges in London, Toronto, Hamilton, S3 MONTHLY RETURN OF IMPORTS AT THE PORT OF MONTREAL.Statement of the Quantity and Value of Imports of the principal Articles of Merchandise, and of the Quantity and Value of such Articles entered for Consumption, with the Duty Collected thereon at this Port, during the Month ending 28th February, 1857, compared with the corresponding period of the previous y7ear :\u2014 \t\t\t1856.\t\t\t\t\t1857.\t\t ARTICLES.z'\tx\twÊi\tWf\tH1\tGOODS IMPORTED.\t\tGOODS ENTERED FOR CONSUMPTION\t\t\tGOODS IMPORTED.\t\tGOODS ENTERED FOR CONSUMPTION\t\t g| J\t|| '\tQuantity.\tValue.\tQuantity.\tValue.\tDuty.\tQuantity.\tValue.\tQuantity.\tValue.\tDuty.Brooms\tDoz.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Coffee, Green\tLbs.\t148\t£3\t148\t£3\t\t18132\t£470\t21372\t£550\t£67 Do other\t do\t\t\t\t\t\t121\t3\t121\t3\t1 Cigars\t do\t73\t\t69\t388\t71\t£38\t11\t7\t736\t388\t110 Molasses\tGalls.\t245223\t17016\t124416\t8919\t1036\t34646\t2677\t43183\t3526\t449 Mustard\tLbs.\t\t\t\t\t\t24\t1\t24\t1\t Snuff\tLbs.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Starch\tLbs.\t\t\t\t\t\t2\t\t1142\t26\t9 Spirits \u2014Brandy\tGalls.\t228\t35\t815\t348\t122\t687\t355\t300\t117\t60 Cordials\t do\t4\t5\t45\t12\t9\t5\t3\t5\t3\t1 Gin\t do\t\t\t2252\t283\t281\t\t\t369\t50\t64 Rum\t do\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t140\t23\t15 Whiskey\t do\t595\t73\t815\t102\t16\t1306\t217\t1075\t184\t33 Wine, in Wood, £10 the Pipe or under\tGalls.1\t.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Do do, over £10 the Pipe anc not exceeding £15.Galls\t\t\t102\t8\t5\t\t\t\t\t Do do over £15 do\t do\t\t\t3954\t838\t296\t\t\t325\t85\t32 Do Bottles, Quarts, not exceeding 20s in value\tDoz\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Do do do, value over 20s per doz, not exceed\u2019g 40s.Doz\t8\t12\t85\t169\t31\t24\t44\t24\t44\t12 Do do do, value over 40s.do\tV.\t\t'/ \u201e\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Do do Pints, value not exceed\u2019g 10s per doz\tDoz.i\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Do do value over 10s and not exceed\u2019g 20s per doz.Doz.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Do do value over 20s\t do\t\t\t\t\t\t.\t\t\t\t Sugar\u2014Refined\tCwt.\t.\t\t69.0.9\t45\t41\t\t\t\t237\t5 White and Brown, Clay\u2019d or Yellow Bastard.Cwt.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Other kinds\t do\t3583.0.10\t4393\t4383.3.2\t6838\t1424\t3272.0.9\t4676\t6271.3.3\t11627\t2351 Dried Fruits\tLbs.\t7990\t169\t11996\t218\t49\t10829\t364\t36198\t1170\t188 Pimento, Allspice, Pepper, do\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t134Y\t23\t11 Cassia, Cinnamon, Cloves, do\t\t\t2133\t77\t26\t3442\t73\t1314)\t71\t16 Ginger\t do\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Mace and Nutmegs\t do\t\t\t\t\t\t661\t119\t\t\t Macaroni and Vermicelli.do\t\t\t\t«/.\u2018(«\u2022«j\t\t, , ,\t\t\t\t Vinegar\tgal\t8979\t\t.\t\t\t35\t\t35\t\t Tea\t its\t\t476\t38467\t2235\t320\t93974\t6289\t478G4\t2838\t498 Tobacco, manufactured .do\t14538\t432\t36505\t10171\t304\t31287\t1396\t22417\t1067\t233 \t/\t\t\u2022\t\t-\u2022»-\t\tJ\tJ-\tion\t\t\tnl\t\t1\t428\t99\t428\t99\t3 Total Articles paying Specific Duty\t\t\t22696\t\t21251\t4007\t\t16802\t\t21905\t4162 Goods paying 20 per cent\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t541\t\t518\t103 Do\t15 per cent\t\t.\t\t\t.\t\t\t99900\t\tG7999\t10020 Do\t12) per cent\t\t\t33019\t\t30061\t3757\t\t\t\t\t Do\t5 per cent\t\t\t\t\t\t.\t\t361\t\t306\t15 Do\t2) per cent\t\t.\t3201\t\t2604\t65\t\t2802\t\t3120\t78 Total Dutiable Goods\t\t\t58917\t\t53918\t7830\t\t120408\t\t92651\t14379 Free Goods\t\t\t8287\t\t8287\t\t\t11307\t\t11337\t Total\t\t\t£67204\t1 \u2018 * * *\t£62205\t£7830\t\t£131715\t\t£103988\t£14379 Rochester, Buffalo, Lockport, St.Thomas Woodstock, Stratford, St.Catharines, Ac.-\u2014 The great body of the Knight Templars, came we believe, from Buffalo, Lockport and Rochester.Parties attending this funeral were conveyed to and from it free, by7 the Great Western Railway.The New York Central Railway cars were tastefully hung with crape\u2014the locomotive and bell being also draped in black.By this line great numbers of persons arrived, to attend the funeral.The scene was altogether of a grandly solemn and impressive nature ; and will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it.The mournfully magnificent ceremony of the day, was a fitting accompaniment to the burial of him, whose kindly disposition and generosity of heart cause him to be lamented by a whole people.We regret to say that Mrs.Zimmerman is in a very precarious state.But a very short time since, she was a happy bride ;

in fact, the whole city bore an aspect of deep melancholy, and the appearance of a piece of crape told too plainly that a friend had fallen a victim to the late catastrophe.Thp\trw.i .y .o vutr utnne- try, at the west end of the city, where the remains of the gallant Captain were committed to the grave.The hearse was followed by between 90 and 100 vehicles, and an immense concourse of pedestrians, to pay their last tribute of respect to a respected friend.Among the multitude, we noticed several well known Captains of Lake Ontario, who seemed deeply impressed with the loss of their seafaring brother.The flags on the principal Hotels were hoisted half-mast high, as a further token of respect ; and thus ended the earthly career of a brave and respected citizen.The body of James L.Ross, reached this city on Saturday afternoon, and was interred in the Necropolis, on Sunday at 3 p.m.His remains were followed to the grave by a numerous assemblage.In Saturday\u2019s issue one of our correspondents from the scene of the railroad disaster alluded to the anxiety manifested by James McClelland, a porter in the Anglo-American Hotel, Hamilton, lest his son employed in the office of J.T.Kerby, Esq., of this city, should he found among the killed ; and that to set his doubts at rest McClelland had come to this city on Friday evening.Upon inquiry7 of Mr.Kerby, he informed our reporter, that young McClelland although intending to leave by the unfortunate train, was prevented by some means and thus escaped a probable death.Mr.Brown of Galt, was interred in the Necropolis, at three o\u2019clock, yesterday afternoon.Mr.Harkness, will, we understand, be interred with military honors, to-day.[BY SPECIAL TELEGRAPH TO MONTREAL HERALD.] THE INQUEST.Hamilton, March 17.Henry Williams, Brakeman, deposed\u2014That the train approached the Bridge at the rate of 5 or 6 miles an hour.Put down the brakes to allow Crombie, the Switch Tender, to jump on the train.Immediately afterwards heard the whistle \u201c on breaks.\u201d Felt the train jolting and the fore part of it lifted up.Jumped off the train and saw the last car going into the Canal.Was certain from the motion that the train was off the track.pdward Richardson, Conductor, sworn\u2014Was not acting as Conductor when the accident happened.Was asleep.Was awakened by a crash and rush of water.Thought the passenger cars were going to fall on him and crush him to death ;
