We mention these various rumours, set afloat as feelers by the friends of the ministry, not because we place the slightest reliance on their authenticity,but simply as evidence of the desperate condition of the Upper Canada section of the Cabinet ; and because our readers are entitled to look to us for the sayings as well as thedoings of the time.For our own part,so far as Upper Canada is concerned, our conviction is, there is no balm in Gilead, there is no physician there, for the thrice-defeated tricksters, whose only policy has been deceit {vide John A\u2019s confessions on the Seat of Government \u201chumbug\u201d), whose highest principle is rede, si possis,\u2014be honest while it pays ! That they nave shown themselves accomplished political gamblers, no one will deny\u2014least of all their late colleagues, Messrs.MacNab, Cauchon, Drummond, Lemieux, Tirrell, and, though last not least, Taché.But, in their late desperate attempt to sauté le coup once more\u2014their appeal to the country\u2014 they have been effectually detected and exposed ; and, it is abundantly evident that, in Upper Cauda at least, they may adopt whatever new alias they please, but they are thoroughly known and will never again be trusted.In Lower Canada, it is true, the exposure of their dishonesty and incapacity has been less effectual ; but it is a mistake ot the poet\u2019s to suppose that any species of the genus homo over existed\u2014or could exist, if they acted on the principle\u2014, who held the doctrine, that The pleasure is as great, Of being cheated as to cheat ; besides, even in Lower Canada, what has been their success ?Mr.Sicotte, having undisguis-edly, in his speech at the hustings, given the 2 ^ 322 opposition credit for every good measure passed by the late Parliament tacitly admitting that he only joined the new Cabinet in consideration of promised amendment in the conduct of his colleagues of the old one\u2014that he only took them on trial, in short,\u2014was re-elected without opposition.Mr.Belleau, being a member of the Upper House, had to make no appeal to his constituents; but then, what are his political principles and leanings ?Why, we understand, he is, or was, one of the proprietors of the Quebec National, a paper started for the express purpose of opposing the Taché-Macdon-ald cabinet.Surely, had Mr.Belleau been on the hustings at St.Hyacinthe, he would have said ditto to Mr.Sicotte.There remains, then, as the only Lower Canada balm for the deadly wounds received in North Wentworth, in Huron and in South Ontario, Mr.Cartier\u2019s disputed 93,101 majority of thirty in Yercheres, and the murderous proceedings, and outrageously illegal pollings at Quebec\u2014by the (dis) grace of which, Mr.Alleyn has obtained his return, but, in the face of which, we do not believe even he will dare to maintain his right to a seat in Parliament.Still, it is urged by some few of the organs of the Ministry, that the barely-saved Mr.Cartier has not yet lost his moutons, who continue to /)«« obedient to his call.We admit the fact; but we dispute the inference.Let the voice be Mr.John A.Macdonald\u2019s instead of Monsieur George Etienne Cartier\u2019s, and one-half the flock will be over the fence, while the other half stand at gaze, startled and confused at the unwonted, and to them unintelligible call of their new shepherd ! No ; Mr.Macdonald is not so ignorant in natural history as to contemplate the possibility of controlling and guiding his \u201c fleecy flocks,\u201d with mere curs and poodles\u2014if he is to continue shepherd, he must secure other and better guides for them than we, for the present, see any prospect of his obtaining.Mercantile Library Lecturaa, A large and highly appreciating audience assembled on Thursday evening to listen to the Poem of Dr.Pierpont.The President, T.S.Brown, Esq., in introducing the learned lecturer, stated that arrangements were not completed for the next Thursday\u2019s lecture, and as they had been disappointed once he would not announce the lecture till positive information was received, which would be communicated through the Press.Dr.Pier-mont, by his noble and dignified appearance, command at once the respect and attention of his hearers.Although 73 years of age, he possesses the energy and vigor of a man in the prime of life.Without wasting time in apologises, Dr.Pierpont commenced at once his Poem, almost every line of which sparkled with wit and humour, and drew down the applause of the house as hit after hit was made.The Poem throughout abounded in noble sentiments, and exhibited the genius of the Poet and scholar.His satire on the influence of the \u201c pews \u201d over tiie \u201c pulpit\u201d on the policy of the Politician in countenancing great wrongs instead of maintaining the right and just of the learned professions in yielding to mammon, in place of acting from high and noble motives were admirable.In concluding he set forth the true aim of the scholar to be the consecration of his talents and learning to the good of humanity and the glory of God.We attempted a report bat found it impossible to do justice to the subject or the lecturer.The following will give some faint idea of the whole, though we must say the most brilliant passages were in the remaining portion of the poem : Haydn and Handel.\u2014We have pleasure in extracting the following from the Rev.Henry Giles\u2019s Essay on Music.This gentleman will deliver a course of lectures in this city, commencing on Monday next : \u201c No mind can be in a low or degraded condition while it is in sympathy with the pure and delectable genius of Haydn.No mind can have communed with him through his oratorio of the Creation ; can have drunk in its gladdening hymns of praise, that seem to sparkle with the light which they celebrate ; its anthems of holy exultation such as the sons of God might have shouted, breathing the young soul of goodness and beauty,\u2014mo mind, I say, can be in suth communion, and for the time be otherwise than transported beyond all that can degrade or can defile.But Handel excites a profounder sentiment.He is not so cheerful as Haydn.He could not be ; for this he is too massive and austere.He does not, like Haydn, lead the mind out to Nature ; he turns it in upon itself.Not loveliness, but mysteries, make the spirit of his music.We find in Haydn the picturesqueness and the buoyancy of the Catholic worship ; in Handel, the sombre, the inquiring, the meditative thoughtfulness of the Protestant faith.By Haydn\u2019s Creation we are charmed and elated ; by Handel\u2019s Messiah we are moved with an overcoming sense of power.Though nothing can surpass the sweetness of Handel\u2019s melodies, yet, interspersed amidst such masses of harmony, they seem like hymns amidst the billows of the ocean or songs among the valleys of the Alps.Handel\u2019s genius was made lor a subject that placed him in the presence of eternity and the universe.His moods and movements aie too vast for the moods and movements of common interests or the common heart.They require the spaces of worlds ; they require interests coincident with man\u2019s destiny and with man\u2019s duration.Though Handel\u2019s airs in the Messiah are of sweetest and gentlest melody, they have majesty in their sweetness and their gentleness.We can associate them with no event lower than that with which they are connected.In such tones we can conceive the Savior\u2019s birth celebrated in the song of angels \u2014 in such tones we can fancy the Redeemer welcomed in hosannas by those who ignorantly dragged him afterwards to Calvary.And then the plaiuuveness of Handel in the Messiah has its true horizon only in that which girds the immortal.It is not simply plaintive; it is mysteriously awful.It is not a grief for earthly man ; it is grief for Him who bore the griefs of all men ; for Him who carried our sorrows, who was wounded for our transgressions, who was bruised for our iniquities, who was oppressed and afliicted, and who bore the chastisement ofonr peace.It is not a grief in which auy common spirit dare complain ; it is fit only for Him who had sorrows to w-hich no man\u2019s sorrows were like.It does not cause us to pity, but to tremble ; it does not move us to weeping, because there lie beneath it \u201cthoughts which are too deep for tears.\u201d And then, in unison with this dread and solemn pathos is the subdued but mighty anguish of the general harmony, When the victory is proclaimed\u2014the victory over the grave, the victory over death, I he victory in which mortality is swallowed up of life\u2014we are lost in the glory of a superhuman chorus ; our imagination breaks all local bounds ; we fancy all the elements of creation, all glorified and risen men, all the hosts of heaven's angels united in this exultant anthem.Handel truly is the Milton of music.Irial To-Day.\u2014A good deal of interest is excited by a trial, fixed for to-day.The accused person is Mr.Francois Xavier Beaudry.His alleged offence on this occasiop, the obtaining money under false pretences.The bright, full moon looks down on crusted snow, Ice-loaded trees their crystal glories show ; The well-filled sleigh by its ear piercing shriek, Says \u201cIt is cold!\u201d as plain as tongue could speak.Its merry bells jingle along the road, And belles, as merry, jingle in the load ; The driver\u2019s wliip, with many a joke, is cracked, And, like a jury, is the party packed ; Song, laughter, story, and «'stolen kiss, With slap responsive, tell of rustic bliss.An humble farm-house, standing in a nook, By elm trees shaded, near an ice-bound brook, The joyous party pass a light is seen Through pendent limbs that glittering swing between.Why from yon chamber window streams that light, So small, so lonely, and so late at night ?Bends there a mother, o\u2019er her sick child\u2019s bed ?Wakes there a watcher with the uncoffined dead ?No;\u2014but a youth is there who hears, without, Those merry bells, that laughter and that shout ; Hears, but heeds not, while o\u2019er the page he pores.That is the key to learning\u2019s classic stores.***** \u2022* \u2022\u2022 What is the Power, that keeps that lad away From star-like eyes that sparkle in the sleigh, From taking part with those that do rejoice And giving to their song his mellow voice ; From gazing on the glories of the night, \\\\ hen earth and heaven are robed in silver light ; From hearing the bright trees, with every gust, Throw down their coats upon the crackling crust?When Beauty sndles, when wakening viols call, And mirth antt dancing shake the illumined hall, What spell confines him in that quiet nook, And keeps him poring o\u2019er that stupid book, Till when, at last, lie seeks his bed, it seems Like some poor ghost, to hannt him in his dreams ?It is\u2014The Scholar\u2019s Hope, &c.W e hope to hare the pleasure of again hearing Dr.Pierpont in our city, as we have seldom enjoyed an hour more, in listening to a public lecturer.The \u201c North American\u2019s\u201d mail and passengers left Portland yesterday, at one o\u2019clock P.M., and are axpected in town about noon to-day.The True Witness.\u2014The proprietor of this paper states that he shall discontinue its pubii.cation forthwith, unless his subscribers pay up.For a long time he has not received 30 per cent, of the expenses of the publication.West Ward Election.\u2014We understand that Mr.John Boyd, of St.Johns street, is to be a candidate for the representation of this Ward ; that he has been brought forward by a large number of the electors concerned in mechanical arts, and that he has already received a sufficient number of pledges to make his success almost if not quite secure.Special Adjourned Meeting City Council.of the Reported for the Montreal Herald.A meeting of the Council, adjourned from Wednesday evening, was held on Thursday evening in the City Council Room.There were present : His Worship the Mayor\u2014Aldermen Atwater, Leclaire, Homier, McCambridge Whitney, Day, Marchand, Browne and Masson.Councillors Adams, Ryan, Jodoin, Bell, Gorrie, Bulmer, Simard, Rottot,' Corse, Valois, Grenier, Rod-den, Bronsdon, and Auclaire.reports ox committees.The Road Committee reported that they had considered the petition of Mr.Maurice, praying for indemnification for the death of a horse on the Coté des Neiges Road, and that they were of opinion that the petition should not be granted.It was accordingly thrown aside.The Finance Committee made a report in which they recommended that the Road Committee should receive an appropriation of £17 10s to be applied to the purchase of a strip of land from Mr.J.Morrin, the object being to widen Dorchester and Bleury streets.Passed.The Finance Committee also reported the desirability of authorising the Road Committee to take, by Jury, the ground required from Mr.A.Rouge, to complete the opening of Dorchester street, from Bleury to Alexander streets.Passed.A report was received from the Special Committee of Investigation into tue New Water Works, recommending the appropriation of one thousand dollars to re-measure the works of the aqueduct.Another report from the same committee was handed in.It had for its subject a letter from Mr.M\u2018Keefer in which he demanded a remittance and a guarantee of payment for the information asked of him.Both reports were held over for the consideration of the next meeting.A report from the Fire Committee was received.It said that the committee had consid-dered the petition of No.1, Montreal Fire Com-pany, praying for a change in theCaptaincy and Lieutenancy of their body, and deputed the chairman of the Committe, and Councillor Rottot to meet the members of the Company on the 5th ultimo ; and on that occasion twenty of the firemen expressed their satisfaction with the existing appointments, and six only dissenting, the committee recommended that the petition be dented.The report was approved of by the Council.The Water Committee handed in a report concerning a litigation between them and a man, named William Riley.It appeared from the report that, on the 16th February, 1856, the Corporation purchased some ground from the Royal Institution in which ground it was in tended to lay the main pipe leading to the New Reservoir.The ground was next converted into a street, called M\u2018Gill College Avenue, which infrnged considerably on the property occupied by William Rileyjas it was stipulated in the deed of sale that the Corporation should answer all claims for damage to the land of this tenant he was offered £15 as compensation, but refused to take less than £64 5s.Riley then sued the Corporation in the Superior Court, and laid the damages at £80.The action was defended, but as overtures for a settlement had been made to the committee, they recommended that he should now receive the sum of £25, the Corporation paying all expenses.The report was referred to the Finance Committee.ORDERS OF THE DAY\u2014CONSIDERATION OX REPORTS.The adoption of a report from the Finance Committee recommending an appropriation for a 44 inch brick drain in Dupre Lane, was moved by Alderman Masson, and seconded by Aider-man Atwater.Alderman M\u2019Cambridge objected to the adoption of the report.The necessity for a brick drain in this lane had long been before the Finance Committee and the Council, and it was only now that this necessity was discovered.Streets, only lately formed, were supplied with drains, but old streets that had been paying taxes for the last forty years could not have this favour extended to them.He would object to the passing of the Report.Councillor Rodden said that this subject had been before the Council three or four times, but it seemed that the citizens of that place were pitted against, it might he, perhaps, because he advocated their claims.He thought that it was very unfair that the citizens of this Ward could not enjoy the privileges of those of other parts of the city.It was useless to bring forward, at this time, a motion about making the drain in question, because it could not be accomplished till Spring would set in, therefore he would oppose the adoption of the Report.Alderman Masson said there was nothing in the petition to show that the inhabitants of this street were in urgent want of a drain.The Mayor then put the Report to the meeting, and it was carried.PROHIBITION AND PUNISHMENT OX GAMBLING, RIOT, ETC., IN MONTREAL.The next subject for consideration was the order of the day, \u201cfor the second and third read ing of a By-Law to Prohibit and Punish Gambling, Riot, and Disturbance in the City of Montreal.\u201d The following are the sections of the By-Law in question : Sec.1.That every description of Gaming and all playing of Caids, Dice, or other Games of Chance, with betting, and all Cock-fighting and Dog-fighting are hereby prohibited and forbidden,\"in any Hotel, Restaurant, Tavern, Inn or Shop, either licensed or unlicensed in this said City; and any person or persons guilty of Gaming or Playing of Cards, or any other Game of Chance, with betting, in any Hotel, Restaurant, Tavern, Inn or Shop, either licensed or unlicensed, in this said City, shall incur the penalty of a Fine not exceeding Five Pounds, or an imprisonment not exceeding thirty days, or both, for each and every offence.Sec.2.That allj'Riots, Noises, Disturbances, or Disorderly Assemblages, are hereby prohibited in this city : and all persons making or creating any Riot, Noise, Disorder, or Disturb- j ance, or forming any part of any Disorderly , Assemblage, anywhere within the limits of the said City, shall incur the penalty of a fine not exceeding Five Pounds, or an imprisonment not exceeding thirty days, or both, for each and every offence.Sec.3.That it shall and may he lawful hereafter for the Chief or any Sub-Chief, or Serjeant, assisted by one or more of the Policemen or Constables thereof, to enter into any Grocery, Grog-Shop, Tavern, Hotel, or other House or place of public entertainment, whether Licensed or Unlicensed, in this City, to detect and arrest on view, such persons as may be found Gamins, Playing at Cards, Dice, or other Games of Chance, or Cock-Fighting or Dog-Fighting therein, contrary to the first section of this By-Law prohibiting the same, or creating any Riot, Noise or Disturbance or Disorder therein.Alderman Marchand said he could see no chance of this By-Law ever being carried into effect ; for the Council had already a great many By-Laws which were not put into execution.The Council had not had sufficient time to examine tlds By-Law, and he for one, would not give it countenance.It was absurd to think that policemen should be authorised to enter a place where gentlemen were playing for a bet of three pence or six pence, and arrest them at sight.The By-Law would have but one effect \u2014to give to the police an unnecessary power which they might exercise in some instances for the purpose of annoyance.Councillor Adams said that as the vice which this measure sought to suppress was extremely prevalent in the low taverns of the city, the By-Law was highly needed, and would have his support.Alderman Day said that it would he remembered that two or three months ago, when the measure was first introduced, he uttered the remark that in the form in which the By-Law was then drawn up, he could not give it his countenance, for the reason that he liked to play cards when he thought proper.These remarks brought on him a number of anonymous letters from people a little bigoted in these views, but he would now say that he was against gambling, but not against rational amusements; and in the amended form in which the By-Law now stood, confining its measures to the suppression of gaming with betting, he would certainly give it his support, because it did not prohibit innocent amusements when unattended with bets for money.Alderman Whitney concurred in the remarks of the previous speaker, and said he would give the measure his support.Like Alderman Day he received anonymous letters on this subject from persons who quoted Scripture, but his sentiments were that innocent amusements should he protected, while gaming should be prohibited.Councillor Ryan hoped the chairman of the Police Committee would display as much energy when this measure became law as lie evinced now; buthe feared that the whole by-law would be a dead letter like the majority of other Bylaws.There had been a By-Law in exiatcnce for five or six years imposing a penalty on those who suffered snow more than six inches deep to lie before their doors, and had this By-Law been carried out?\u2014the law now sought to be passed would be somewhat similar.He would like to know if Alderman Day, having private visitors, would care for seeing them arrested for enjoying a game, and he would like to know why this law was not intended to be applied to private mansions as well as hotels.He would oppose this By-Law, because it infringed on.the liberty of the subject.He might be told there were many families brought to ruin bygambliug, but he should like to ask the mercantile gentlemen present was there not more gambling at the Stock Exchange in St.Francois Xavier street, and why wasjthere not a By-Law made to prohibit also this species of gambling?Councillor Leclaire said that in regard to the removal of snow, the police had done their duty, and some had been fined for their negligence.Alderman Atwater said that Humbling was so prevalent in the city that something was required to put a stop to it.The Mayor then asked should the By-Law pass its second reading.There were cries of \u201c Yes\u201d and \u201cNo,\" and a poll baring been taken it was found to have passed.The Mayor then inquired if it was the will of the Council that it should now pass its third reading, the response was in the affirmative, and the By-law passed and was authorised to be signed by the Mayor.CONSIDERATION OX RETORTS.The Finance Committee handed in a report on a petition from Mr.Boismenu for the repeal of a By-law imposing a duty on billiard tables.The committee considered that the petition failed to set forth arguments sufficiently strong to warrant the repeal of the enactment.The report was confirmed by the Council.The report from the Fire Committee was read.It stated that the Committee had considered a petition from a number of the inhabitants of St.James\u2019 and St.Mary\u2019s wards respecting a repeal of the By-Law prohibiting the erection of wooden buildings, and had come to the conclusion that the By-Law should remain unaltered.A report from the same Committee recommending that Messrs.W.Taylor, Senecal and Daniel be permitted to erect steam engines on their premises, was submitted to the Council, and adopted.A report from the Light and Finance Committee was handed in,\u2014it advised the erection of lamps in Amherst, Drummond, College, Nazareth and St.Catherine Streets.An amendment by Alderman Marchand, supported by Councillor Rodden was moved.It was to the effect that the report be referred back to the Light Committee with instructions to report how many lamps were required for the city, so that the Council might be enabled to make an appropriation for the erection of lamps in proportion to the required wants of the different wards of the city.Councillor Belle said that at least two hundred more lamps would be required to light the city, but if the Council could not give lamps to the few places how imperatively requiring them how could it grant lamps in all the strests of the city which wanted more effective lightning.The amendment was supported by Councillor Rodden and Ryan, and opposed by Aider-man Day.A poll was then taken, when it was found there was an equal number of votes on eacli side, eleven for and eleven against ; it remained with the Mayor to give the casting vote, and he decided against the amendment, which was consequently lost.DESTITUTION IN THE CITY\u2014DEPUTATION OF THE UNF-MPLOY'ED TO THE MAYOR.The Mayor said\u2014I wish to acquaint the Council with a circumstance which took place to-day.A deputation, consistiug of about 40 men of the labouring class came to my office and asked for work, stating they were in great distress, and if some provision were not made for them they must resort to unlawful means to supply their necessities.I said I would not be threatened by the expression of their designs, but that 1 would inform the Council of their condition, and as 1 had no power to act in such a matter, I would lay their case before the members of the Council.Councillor Valois said in a few days there would be stones ready for breaking, and at this labour a considerable number would find em-ploymeet\u2014he supposed about a hundred and fifty.Councillor Bulmer\u2014We can all now feci and sympathize with these men, but it was foreseen long ago that there would be distress amongst this class.Although the Council is nota charitable society it should endeavour to provide for their wants, and it was very fortunate, I think, that the Council adopted the measure to purchase stones, for the poor can find employment in breaking them.I intended, before the Council adjourned, to draw their attention to the fact that they might be employed in removing the snow from the narrow streets and narrow footpaths.[Hear.] It is better to adopt this plan now, than wait till the month of April when these men can find work anywhere.Councillor Valois said it was intended to have the snow removed from such streets as Mr.Bulmer alluded to, but this could not be accomplished till the ice bridge was of sufficient strength to admit of persons depositing the snow on the river.The matter then dropped, and a motion for the adjournment of the Counci! was then made and carried.From our Ottawa Correspondent.Ottawa, Jan.13, 1858.On Monday last the \u201c declaration\u2019- for the county of Ottawa took place at Aylmer, in the township of Hull.Extensive preparations had been made for the occasion.A great number of flags were exhibited, and variously devised banners were hung out, but did not float in the breeze, for the very good reason that there was scarcely a current of air stiring.The show of calico, I am told, was not small.The weather was unpropitious ; rain descended steadily the whole day, freezing as soon as it fell, encasing the outsiders in a coat of icy crystal covering, more pleasing to behold than agreeable to carry.A band of music was procured from Prescott, our Canadian Amateurs having refused to appear on the occasion, ostensibly because one of their number was designated a \u201cfiddler'\u2019 in this correspondence.Mr.Papineau was escorted from this city to Aylmer by a large number of friends.He was received in Aylmer as the conquering hero.The Returning Officer proclaimed him elected in the usual form.His majority is 274.Mr.P., in a brief and peculiar way thanked the free men of Ottawa for the support they had extended towards him and the honor they had conferred upon him.He spoke of it as a New Year\u2019s Gift, promising many returns in the way of duty and at-tenrion to their wants and wishes.His speech contained nothing remarkably clever or witty, it was rather \u201cFrenchy\" in substance, shape, and sound; the intention was good, the sentiment honest, and the expression polite.Mr.Friel next appeared.He acknowledged himself beaten, congratulated ids opponent on his success, and only wished he was in his place.He thanked his people for standing to him, and considered himself \u201cmore than ordinary potatoes\u2019\u2019 when he polled 894 votes, under such adverse circumstances, and in the teeth of such tremendous ppposi:- >n.He felt pleased, if not at the result, at least with the manner in which the contest has been carried on.He thanked goodness there was no.\u201c Cambridge\u201d in Ottawa [that was a wicked slap at Feliowes] and he hoped if he protested, Mr.Papineau would not clear out iu order tc evade the service [a dead shot at Scott], Afier describing the energies that were brought to bear to defeat him, such as falsehoods, money, the large commercial establishments, &c.,&c.He said \u201c a cracked bell\u201d had been employed [that was a dig at the \u201cdictator\u201d and no mistake], The allusion to Scott and Feliowes provoked laughter, but the side-wipe at the dictator raised a storm of indignation which made the speaker falter for a bit.But it was only momentarily,for he went on again as gliblj and as fluently as though he were rehearsing ft theme dedicated to the rosy god.All the local celebrities, qfcourse, followed, including Mr.Alponso Wrigfft, the Messrs.Ay-len,McConnell,Kenny, TomyMcGoly, the \u201cDictator,\u201d and a host of minor lights.They one and all naturally felt will]\u2019and feeling well expressed satisfaction with everything and great delight with every body.Some preached \u201c conciliation\u201d and good feeling, but nearly all denounced religious interference and spiritual dictation,\u2014for they will have it that Mr.Friel was got rid of in Ottawa city only on the express condition that he should be furnished with the Bishop\u2019s letters to the faithful in Ottawa county, and that the local priesthood should extol him, and him alone, to their flocks.And in that belief more than they are firm.After the speaking came the cheering, and then the chairing ; then speaking again (Spilal point is a windy place), and then the feeding, and then the whiskey, and speaking again.The natural result of all which was hoarse voices, flushed cheeks, flashing eyes, dilated nostrils and red noses.And in this indulgence some of Fricl\u2019s friends dipped deeply, for it matters little to some persons who suffers so long as they least.The whole \u201c demonstration \" was concluded by a procession to this city [7 miles], where they arrived in the gloaming, loo lute to see or be seen, which was perhaps as well.1 am told the procession was fully a mile in length, and represented the wealth and intelligence of the country very ful ly.Unlike poor iScott\u2019s triumphal procession, it contained carriages, and not bob-sleds and traineaus.For Mr.Papineau there was grand chair prepared, while for Scott there was nothing of the kind- I\u2019apinean\u2019s men cheered for victory,\u2014Scott\u2019s squealed from spite.The difference between the two demonstrations was very marked indeed.There are a great many grand jokes told in connection with this contest, which I am not bft.thC Vein to i -¦ i-.>unl to you i.\u2019t- OOW.M1'.Pi-ifeX was cock-sure of gaining tiie day, and spent largely on the canvass.He did not, it is currently said, solicit a Protestant vote.Mr.Papineau, on the other hand, was not at all certain as to the result ; he hoped for the best and acted a straightforward part.He more than once expressed bis surprise at the many friends that came to his assistance.Fear was entertained that mischief would be attempted at some of the polls, but the right men \u201c took hold \u201d and prevented any snch manœuvres.In Low 119 votes were polled for Friel, and 5 for Papineau.I am candidly informed that there are not 40 good votes within the limits of that poll.Squatters were brought from a great distauce, and swore through \u201c like bricks.The Deputy Relieving Officer did not use the poll book sent by the Returning Officer ; he used loose sheets of paper, which looks like preconcerted mischief.But he was well watched, and could not come any dodge, were he ever so well disposed .In two other townships of that vicinity the votes of squatters were not received\u2014ihe Deputy Returning Officer concientiously refused to permit men to perjure themselves.In that way iniquity was prevented.I hear that the Low boys are to be put through all the pains and penalties of the law for their misdeeds.In Buckingham wild work was anticipated\u2014there Friel counted over 200 majority Mr.Eaton, Mr.McNaughton, tbs Messrs.Thompson, Lusk, Stacey, and other leading gentlemen took hold for Mr.Papineau, and reduced Frlel\u2019s supposed majority down to 73.There is manifest satisfaction all over at the defeat of Friel,\u2014not altogether on his own account, although that is something; but ou account of the interference of the Roman Catholic Bishop and his clergy.The office of Clerk of the Peace for the County of Carleton, vacant by the resignation of Mr.Frank Powell, lias been bestowed upon Mr.Robert Lees, Barrister, of this city.Bob is a \u201c long shot,\u201d deep, and cauny.He will take care of the office you may believe.There is a shade of mystery about this appointment, which I have not yet been able to penetrate.There is something, I am salislied, but what that something is I am unibie to get at ; the Uecret must be well kept iu if I do not get at t yet.You remember it was the appointment of Mr.Powell to the office some 15 or 16 years ago, that cause the resignation of the then Reform leaders, and the consequent change of Ministry.Now the office has changed hands, and few know the reason why ?I hear that the Heath has been elected for Pontiac.That I do not like.Heath does not fulfil my idea of an honorable man, nor do the people ot Pontiac come up to the right standard.Chuadiere.[COMPILED FOR THE MONTREAL HERALD.] P O R T O F MONTREAL.STATEMENT OF THE QUANTITIES AND VALUES OF THE PRINCIPAL

of the fatal riot which took place iu St.John Suburb, during the Oity Election, on the 28th of December, was closed The jury was sworn to inquire as to (he death of Peter Wallace, one of the men killed on that occasion.Much ceremony was taken to show the origin of the disturbance, which was tiie same as that rendered in the case of the deceased Newman, hut none of the parties who assailed Wallace were identified.A verdict was returned of death from compression of the brain from extravased blood the result of violence received at the hands of some person or persons unknown, whom the jury accuse of \u201c wilful ! murder.\u201d\u2014Quebec Chronicle Monday.Burn ing of Seayiew.HousE.^-The Seaview House at the Highlands, where the murder of Moses by Donnelly was committed, together with the cottage occupied by Mrs.Jarvis was totally destroyed by fire about 9 o\u2019clock on Sunday night.The fire was discovered bursting from the third-story windows, and in ten minutes the whole house was in flames.The house has not been occupied since September, and the fire was doubtless the work of an i n-cendiary.A person who came up by the \u201cOcean Wave\u201d yesterday afternoon states, that the wind was blowing fresh from the southeast, and the fire was first discovered iu the third-story at the southeast corner of the house, thus insuring the total destruction of the premises.Had the wind been from the northward, Thompson\u2019s house would also have been destryed.None of the furniture was saved, except a small portion from the cottage occupied by Mrs.Jarvis, who, with her two daughters, and two sons-in-law, went down from the city on Saturday.No effort was made to save the building, as that was seen to be impossible, and the attention of the neighbors was directed to the preservation of the adjacent houses.People from Middletown, and other places eight or ten miles distant, assembled to witness the conflagration, which lighted up the country for a great distance.The fire was noticed by Pilots many miles at sea, and in Brooklyn the reflection on the sky was much discussed.There being no fire engines at the place, the most primitive methods only were used to prevent the spread of the flames.That the fire was purposely set by some one, nobody at the Highlands seemed to doubt, and all sorts of surmises and theories were started by all sorts of people to account for the occurrence.There was insurance to the amount of §16,000\u2014and the damage was not much more\u2014it was said, on the houses and furniture by the Jefferson and the Broadway Fire Insurance Companies of this City.\u2014N.Y.Times.Grand Promenade Concert.\u2014Bear in mind that next Military Promenade Concert, of the Montreal Field Battery, in aid of their Band will be held
