I am township clerk of Cambridge and one of the selectors of jurors; I have not resided in the township ; the number on the' assessment roll is between eighty and ninety ; there were from forty to sixty votes recorded on the first day of the election ; none were recorded without my knowledge.Upwards of 300 were recorded on the second day ; none were recorded without my knowledge ; I do not know any, parties residing in Albany, Troy, or Rome, in the State of New York, entitled to vote in the township ; I think there were some eight or ten voted wno gave their names as re-siding in Troy, Rome or Albany, but I do not know that there were any such residents.If my clerk put any more down it was without my knowledge ; I do not know that any persons voted as foreigners, or that any persons voted for foreigners, using their names ; I could not count the number of votes while attending to my duties ; a separate person would come to the window or the poll-book to vote ; no man gave his name to me t\\yice at the same time to my knowledge ; I think the persons who voted were what they represented themselves to be, for I did not know them ; I do not know any such person as Earl Bedel ; he may have been there, but I could not tell ; I should not know him if X were to meet him in the street ; I would not have allowed him to vote more than once, and, if he did vote, I did\u2019nt know for whom ; I am not aware that so many as fifty persons ffbm the State of New York voted, or that they voted on lands ot Martin Casselman ; 1 think my clerk made a few mistakes when taking down the names as to places of residence ; 1 do not call 300 a few ; 1 did not keep the poll after five o\u2019clock on the second day ; i do not know how many votes were polled after half-past four, but thei»e may have been twenty or twenty-five ; votes were polled up to a few minutes before live o\u2019clock ; when I say that 300 votes were polled on the second day, I mean that 300 persons appeared and voted regularly ; Mr.Loux was not represented on the second day ; Cameron claimed to represent him, but as he could show no authority, he was not allowed to do so ; no persons weie allowed in the poll-room ; two or three votes were- recorded inside, \\ hen turee was not much doing ; I delivered the poll-book to Mr.Casselman, at his house, after the election ; I told him to take care of it, and he locked it up; the certificates, &c., were first appended to it, the clerk and myself being sworn to its correctness ; Mr.Fellowes was not in the room wjjen I first handed the book to Mr.Casselman ; Mr.Casselman acted as Mr.Fellowes\u2019 agent at the election ; Mr.Fellowes was not present at the poll on either of the polling days ; I understood he was at Mr.Casselman\u2019s house, two or three acres distant, some part of the time.To Mr.FELLOWES\u20141 was creditably informed that the roll did not contain the names of all the residents ; John Cameron came to vote ; I asked him for whom he wished to vote, and he said Mr.Loux ; I asked on what he voted, and be said on a freehold ; at first he refused to take the oath of qualificatiou, but after consulting with some friends he took the whole catb ; some dispute took place between Cameron and Caasel-man on the first day ; Casselman shook his fist in Cameron\u2019s face ; I cannot say whether Cameron was under the influence of liquor ; but some were ; there was no liquor introduced into the poll room on the second day ; I drank none there, nor did I see any person drink any there; I did uot receive a pe ll book from the returniug officer, but was obliged to make one myself ; if he did send one, I did not receive it ; I spent the evening of the second day ot the election at Mr.Casselman\u2019s ; Mr.Fellowes was there ; did not afterwards leturn to the poll.The witness was then allowed to withdraw, and Mr.J.F.SKINNER was ordered to be examined, aud eaid To Mr.POWELL\u2014I reside at Brasher Falls, N.Y., where 1 am a Justice ofthe Peace ; I know Bedel of Brasher ; I was with him in company with two persons who called themselves Colonel Johnson and Col.Fraser; these affidavits were sworn to by him before me, and this is his signature attached to it.[They were those, one of which Badell had said he never swore to.] They were read over to him before he was sworn, and I believe he understood them ; Bedell\u2019s character for veracity in the neighborhood where he resiees is not very good, and I would uot believe him on his oath.To Mr.WHITE\u2014Mr.Fellowes read the affidavits described by Earl Bedell, a& taken before me.To Mr.POWELL\u2014I have do doubt whatever that the affidavit read by Mr.Fellowes was the same as that placed in my hand marked \u201c A,\u201d and signed by me as justice swearing the same.To Mr.WaLSBRIDGE-1\u2014As near as I can recol[ect, Mr.Fellowes read it word for word as it is now.The witness was then discharged.A motion for adjournment was then put and lost.LOTBINIERK ELECTION.Mr.R.S.NOEL appeared at the bar and was examined.To Mr.O'FARRELL\u2014I never believed my brotber-in-law to have been a candidate at the last election.A great deal of snow fell on the day of the declaration, without extraordinary efforts it would have been impossible to reach St.Antoine\u2014-going from St.Sylvester\u2014at the h ur of declaration ; the distance between the churches of St.Sylvester and St.Foix is about 40 miles, and not easily travelled in winter ; I first became aware that the deputy returning officer of St.Antoine made a special return on tha morning after the day of declaration.It is stated that Mr.Noel\u2019s partizans forced Mr.O Farrell s representatives out of the poll, and votes were subsequently taken by the presiding officer without his being able to tell whether4 they were legal or not.Before making the special return, on the night of the second day polling, the deputy returning officer of St.Antoine came to my house with the poll book, and said he was obliged tOiinake a special return ; he said he had not been able for a considerable time on the last day to distinguish the good from the bad votes, as he could not always see the person who voted ; he said he could tot conscientiously persist in the general return ; it did not contain the facts allege 1 in the special return.1 believe the general return was signed by the deputy officer and bis poll clerk ; I think ttiis return bore the signature of the Justice of the Peace for the City of Quebec as having been sworn to by the deputy returning officer and his poll clerk.The general return did not mention that the poll was only closed at five in the afternoon of the second day.The deputy returning officer of St.Agathe did not stare in his return that votes were taken up to three-quarters past seven o\u2019clock on the second day, when in consequence ofthe special return the returning officer for St.Agathe struck off votes for Mr.O\u2019 Farrell ; I did not strike off auy votes for Mr.Noel on the special return of the deputy returning officer of St.Antoine, because in the return from St.Agathe the poll books were duly closed and the alleged votes were stated, whereas in the special return from St.Antoine no difference was made between the good and bad votes ; 1 did not strike off all the bad votes given in St.Sylvester, because there was no special return made ; it is not true that when I struck off the votes of the St Agathe poll book I knew that many of those votes had been polled before 5 o\u2019clock, p.m., on the s cond day; the deptuty returning officer might have known it.A motion for adjournment was made at a quarter past twelve, aud lost on a division, only one member voting for R.O\u2019FX\\RXtE&LLa\tw*tness resumed by Mr.1 , * fdU I sa^ ^ k® mentioned that, after one hun-fbur a \u2019 ei£ht-y> tïle votes were registered after Hie adjournment of the House was then moved by Mr.PATRICK.Mr.FERRES said he was astonished that gen- emen on that side of the house so frequently moved for adjournment.The time of the coun-ry had already bet-n so much wasted that the members ought to \u201csit it out.\u201d Examination of witness resumed.Mr.Thorburn told me he wished to interfere iu ne election, and would not take a place at any or toe polls ; a short time before the election he was willing to have accepted a situation in different parishes ; on the 31st December and 2nd of January, Mr.O\u2019Farrell came, I think, to my house in t e evèning ; cannot, recollect our conversation ; we were in.bed when he came.A motLn for adjournment was made at five minutes past one\u2014when a division was taken : yeas, 14 ; nays, 14.The Speaker gave his casting vote with the nays, and the resoludon was accordingly lost - A question having been put to th j witn as, another motion of adjournment was made.agMust the motion, and reminded hon.members there weie\u201990 witnesses yet to be ex am in d on this election case, and no time snould be lost.1 he motion was lost and the examination of the witness again resumed.He was pressed to mention the time and place of any one of the conversations which lie had related.In reply to one question, he stated that he could not, and in answer to a subsequent questiou, that he had already done so.At twenty-five minutes to two an adjournment was again moved, and a division taken - yeas 4 : nays 19.\tJ j Ihe examination of the witness was then continued.* In a short time afterw rds Mr.DUFRESNE moved that the house be counted.There were twenty present including the Speaker.Another question haviogbeen put to the witness, the house was again counted, and only sixteen were present.The house then adjoo rned for want cf a quorum.STaïie ©omtnerce.RETURN Of the Average Amount of Liabilities and Assets of the Bank of Montreal, on the 31st March, 1858:\u2014 LIABILITIES.Promissory Notes in Circulation, not bearing interest.$ 2,306,449 00 Bills ot Exchange in Circulation, not bearing interest.Bills and Notes in Circulation, bearing interest.Balances due to other Banks___\t249,200 25 Cash Deposits, not bearing in- terest'-., 1,545,437 30 Cash Deposits, bearing interest.846,933 08.Total Liabilities.$ 4,948,019 63 A ASSETS, Coin and Bullion.$ 683,697 62 Landed or other Property of the Bank.'.323,230 87 Government Securities.595,466\t67 Promissory Notes or Bills of other Banks.204,311\t07 Balances due from other Banks.' 451,759 39 Notes and Bills Discounted.\t0,270,683\t85 Other Debts due to the Bank, not included tinder the foregoing heads.483,067\t71 Total Assets.$12,017,217\t18 D.DAVIDSON, Cashier.Bank of Montreal, Montreal, 8th April, 1858.MONTHLY STATEMENT Of \u201c La Banque du Peuple,\u201d acting under Char-, ter, on the 1st April, 1858 :\u2014 LIAEIUTIKS.Promissory Note.!.Circulation, not hearing interest.$ 326,617 00 Bills of Exchange in Circulation, not hearing interest.\u2022 * Bills and Notes in Circulation, bearing interest.Balances due to other Banks.\t68,893 14 Cash Deposits, not bearing in- terest.- 195,649 07 Cash Deposits, bearing interest.\t225,487 04 Total Liabilities.$ 816,556 25 ASSETS.Coin and Bullion.75,220\t44 Landed or other Property of the Bank.65,952\t17 Government Securities.¦.101,542\t05 Prommissory Notes or Bills of other Banks.Balances due from other Banks.Notes and Bills discounted, and other Debts due to the Bank, not included under the foregoing heads.1,655,040\t60 37,193 00 1,444 72 Total Assets.$1,926,392 98 B.H.LeMOINE, Cashier.La Banque du Peuple, Montreal, 5th April, 1858., The Canals in the State of New York (except the Champlain) will open on the 28th instant ;

A meeting was held yesterday in the City Concert Hall, convened by the Mayor, pursuant to a requisition.At noon, the hour advertised, very few persons had assembled.- After waiting for half an hour, the Mayor took the Chair ; when the Reporter counted, one by one, 63 persons present.Some dozen or more came in during the discussion, and left before it was ended.-Mr.VIGER was appointed Secretary.The MAYOR\u2014You all know the object of this meeting, and it is not necessary that 1 should state it to you.I will read the requisition.He read it in English and French.Mr.O.BERTHELET, seconded by Mr.R.TRUDEAU, proposed that it be n Resolved,\u2014That the citizens of Montreal see, with alarm, the proposition introduced into the House of Assembly, by Mr.Solicitor General East, to wit : the draught of a law, entitled An Act to consolidate and amend the Laws relating to the Interest of Money,\u2019 inasmuch as this measure, without fulfilling the object for which it appears intended, namely, of attracting foreign capital into the country, will chiefly have for its ellect the augmentation of the privileges already granted to the Banks by their respective charters, and accord to these institutions a dangerous power, entirely Editorial Conespondeaee of tlie treal Herald.\u201d 1 Mon- Toronto, Aprjl 20, 1858.Last night the House sat till 2 o\u2019clock examining the witnesses in the Russell and Lotbiniere elections, especially the last.Mr.O'Farrel kept members from their beds by a series of questions which appeared to be entirely useless for any other purpose than to pass the time ; but Mr.Noel is neither a Casselman, nor a Bedell\u2014neither a witness to damage himself by his mode ot giving evidence, nor to be damaged by suspicions of bad character\u2014and he showed that he had a perfect comprehension of his dr*tes as Returning Officer, and had taken very great care to carry them out.With respect to the Russell election, Mr.Skinner, from Brasher,.stated that Bedell had made the affidavit in favour of Mr.Fellowes before him, and that Bedell was a man of bad character\u2014all of which is probably true enough, but does not account for the number of names upon the Cambridge poll-book of gentlemen hailing from the other side of the lines.It is generally understood here, that the Usury Law Bill will be abandoned.It is said now, that all ministers Impels to gain the point of honour of \u2019a second reading, and that they are willing to promise to give it up after this.It is very doubtful, however, whether the second reading can be carried at all.The French members will almost unanimously vote against ifc.TllOSG YVliv \u2014*¦ ^\u2014*\u2022 \"i:_ï- *** or»-* fr*i* it, as a party measure, are alarmed by the constant messages from their constituents, who appear to believe that the \u201c shavers\u201d will be en abled to cut their throats with or without their consents, as soon as they are allowed to charge more than 6 percent.How will the double majority question be affected ?It is undoubted that in the two Canadas there is a large majority in favor of a very considerable relaxation of the usury law ; but this will, in all probability, be refused, because the French Canadians, though in a minoiity on this point are against it.Thus, the Upper Canadians are placed in the position of the proposed, when the -proposer of a toss mentions the familiar conditions of \u201cheads I win, tails you lose.\u201d When theyjiave a majority in their own section, they are told that all Mr.John A.Macdonald and Mr.Loranger have been saying all their lives about double majorities is lost\u2014nothing.\tBut when the single majority is with them the sensibilities of a sectional majority on the other part are to be guarded with the most scrupulous care.Perhaps my prognostic may be wrong ; but if right, can any one believe that a state of things, productive of such results can be lasting ?The Toronto petitions against the sitting members having been, what I presume may be called, mutually withdrawn, Mr.Brown has elected to sit for Toronto, and the writ has accordingly issued for North Oxford.The contest will, therefore, speedily take place.Both sides are playing the game of brag ; but shame at past failures, in the prophecying line, seems to restrain the friends of Mr.Morrison from too open mouthed vaunting.Mackenzie has published a terse little account of poor Joseph\u2019s votes, from the time he took his stand, even against the Baldwin government on the question of the Rectories, the abolition of which he made his specialty, down to his last appearance as the opponent of every motion for their abolition.These are being circulated through the county by thousands, and, as it is a thoroughly radical constituency, they must produce great effect.McKenzie mentions the page of each vote in the journals of the House of Assembly, and recommends the electors to question the candidate themselves upon the facts.The Reciprocity Treaty.\u2014Mr.Bouchette, the Commissioner of Customs, in reply to an application from our Board of Trade, relative to the recent change, by which United States wheat ground in Canada is refused admission into the U.S.under the Reciprocity Treaty, says that the matter will receive the Inspector-General\u2019s early consideration.Opening op the Canals.\u2014The Secretary of the Board of Works has intimated.to the Board of Trade, in reply to its inquiry, that a \u201c commencement will be made to let the water into the upper canals on the 25th, and into the Lachine Canal on the 27th inst.Ccrling.-A meeting of the Canadian Branch of the Royal Caledonia Curling Club of Scotland, was held at Dolly\u2019s on Friday last, at which the following Clubs in Canada were represented.\u2018 Quebec and Stadacona Clubs of Quebec ; the.Montreal ; the Montreal, Thistle and Caledonia Clubti of Montreal ; the Buckingham Club ; the Toronto Club ; the Ontario and the Burlington Clubs of Hamilton ; the West Flambro Club; the Paris Club.The representatives of the Ottawa, Kingston and London Clubs being sent.It was unanimously resolved that the Secretary be instructed to write to Mr.Cassells, Secretary of the Royal Caledonia Curling Club, in Edinburgh, stating that the Curlers of Canada were willing to challenge ajl Scotland to play a friendly game, to come off in Canada next winter, and to ascertain on what terms such a challenge would bo accepted.Some of the representatives proposed that Canada should offer to send players to Scotland but the fiçkle freaks of Jack Frost overruled that.Young Canada Cricket Club.\u2014At the first annual meeting of this Club, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year :_ President\u2014Mr.W.Hughes.Vice-President\u2014 Mr.Stuart.Treasurer\u2014Mr.C.Ashford.Secretary\u2014Mr.W.Beckett.Committee\u2014T, Maxwell, T.Alexander, J DeWitt, and S.W.Bond.The WEATHER.-?-Yesterday morning we had a heavy fall of snow, which, however, disappeared during the day.Mr.Hudson G\".Wolfe, Agent for the sale of Mr.Udolpho Wolfe of New York\u2019s celebrated \u201c Scheidam Aromatic Schnapps,\u201d is now town at the Montreal House, The sale of elegant Household Furniture and Effects, at the residence of the late Joseph Knapp, Esq., takes place this day, commencing at ten o\u2019clock.Mr.Deeming is the auctioneer.^_____(\t^ unnecessary to their prospeiity, which will place all the other classes I the parent, of society completely at their mercy.\u201d\tI the wav in Mr.PAPIN being called upon to speak to the resolution, said (in French) he was sorry some person more intimately connected with commerce had not stept forward to do so ; but, as nobody else seemed willing to speak, he took up the parole.He regretted that the meeting was not more numerous to discuss.this important question.He contended that the bill of the Solicitor General would injuriously affect great interests in the country.But with respect to thflheory of the value of money, he stated that this was well understood, it ought to find its own level free from restriction.He objected to Mr Rose\u2019s Bill in the present circumstances of the country, in that it gave increased privileges to monetary institutions already enjoying great privileges.The majority ot the people Lower Canada, he had no doubt, were strongly opposed to this Bill.Restated at the same time, that he believed the great majority of the people of Upper Canada clamorously demanded the repeal of the Usury Laws.The banks had petitioned for their repeal and the Bill of Mr Rose seemed specially framed in their interest ; but he did not oppose it because the banks petitioned for it.The banks, he was glad to say, were a credit to the country, but when he saw them declaring high dividends, so that they were making greater profits than other classes of society, he thought the time was ill chosen to ask for these privileges.He particularly objected to the Bill as being likely to injure real estate.His experience and practical acquaintance with this question might not be very great, but he had never heard of any Legislature fixing one rate of interest for one class of society, and another rate for another class of society.Mr.J.DeVVITT, on being called for, addressed the meeting.The subject was of great importance to all the inhabitants of Canada.He had lived here for 50 years, and during the whole of that time 6 per cent had been the legal rate of interest.Canada had prospered under the fixed rate, it being satisfactory ) to both borrower and lender, so lar as he knew.The banks took the interest in advance on all the notes they discounted, and by compounding every 2 months, made about 7 per cent as nearly as possible\u20147 per cent in all cases where prudent men prepaid their notes a few days beforehand.The principal cry for the abolition of the Usury Laws seemed to come from Upper Canada.If public rumor could be believed, parties there were giving 4 per cent a month.That might be good for lenders, but he doubted if borrowers would grow rich at such a rate He did not think the Bill of Mr.Rose would benefit manufacturers, but would go far to destroy them.He did not think it would benefit merchants, for they could not afford to pay high rates for money, He did not think bank ing capital should be used for aiding the purchase of stocks, or for making railways, &c.The capital of the banks should, be employed, in the first place, for buying the agricultural produce of the country, and then for assisting manufacturers.But if either of these interests had to pay as high as 15 or 20 per cent interest, they would be ruined.Mr.Rose had stated that the restricted interest of 6 per cent compelled the banks to unduly encourage the business of exchange to eke out their profits, that losses resulted from it.The People\u2019s Bank had drawn exchange for these many years, yet it had never met any losses.Then as to the present profits of the banks.Mr.Rose was connected with the City Bank, and by the return in the Canada Gazette it seemed that this bank had no less than $240,000 surplus.That looked as if they were doing a good business.(Laughter.) Then they talked about bringing in tViT.'iun capital.The B.of N.A., Bank, with a capital of a million alerting, nan us siuuh iu London, aud the greater part ot its capital was employed iu this city.Look at the stock listof the Bank of Montreal, and they .saw a large number,of shares were held in England and elsewhere.The stocks of the Banks were above par, and were sought after, except perhaps that \"of the Upper Canada Bank, which was a kind of Governmentconcern, and he did not know how that stood.(Laughter.) As to dividends, Mr.Rose\u2019s own Bank, the City Bank paid 5 per cent last June.How much more did he want ?Tell us ; but don\u2019t put your hands into our pockets.I am tender on that point.They say the repeal of-the Usury Laws will make money cheaper to the borrower.Keep them as thsy are, and the borrowers and all parties will then be satisfied.He considered that the Banks, with the privileges they have of circulation and deposits, and compounding interest every three months taken iu advance, making the interest on tlfeir loans 7 per cent, made quite enough of profit ; and that bank stock was a certain investment at 8 per cent.He asked gentlemen present if they made more __if they made so much on their business ?Some people had compared the question to the sheep aud- wolves.If they put sheep into a wood with wolves, the wolves would eat them up.Some persons had spoken of the system which had been pursued in England.So different was the position of the two countries, that all comparison was lost.A more just analogy woulJ be with the New England States, and very ins telligent people lived there, and they were satisfied with a rate of 6j>er cent.Mr.T.S.BROWN spoke in French, and said it was well to hear both sides of a question.He found 6 per cent, a high rate of interest, and this rate would soon ruin a man, if paid on property which was not productive.But money could not always be got for this rafe aud a man borrowing money at any rate should always see what he can get for it in return He stated at some length, the course which had been adopted in England, and pointed outseve ral mercantile transactions in which money was worth worth more than 6 per cent., aud in whiSh it could not be obtained at that rate.He also showed how circumstances arose, in which the Banks could not afford to lend at tkeYestricted rate of 6 per cent.From this he argued, that it would be an advantage to merchants if they could get their paper discounted occasionally at a greater rate than 6 per cent.He ridiculed, amid loud laughter, the story of the sheep and the wolves.Mr.OSTELL asked leave to move an amendment.He regretted there were so few persons present to discuss so important a question._ There were not more than 50 present, and not 25 who had any interest in the question.[Cries of\u201cOh,\u2019\u2018&c.] He had no interest in speaking beyond that of any other citizen.He might state that he saw many around him, who he knew had to go elsewhere than to the Banks for accommodation, and they paid more for it.[Laughter.] Aud he asked them if it would not be a better state, of things, if, instead of being shaved in that way, they could go to the Banks and, by giving a higher rate than 6 per' cent., obtain the accommodation they required, and which in many cases they must have ?Many times when the mechanic was refused at the Banks, he had to go to the shaver.Some of the Banks put money out to Brokers to lend at higher rates, and thus have to pay a shave for the remuneratibn of the Broker.Was that a desirable state of things ?Here he read the resolution, and asked the meeting if such sweeping assertions could be supported ?One gentleman had spoken of the rate of interest of money in the New England States.But could he tell them what the rate is or had been- in Boston?What in New York?What pates are aud have been actually paid in those citties ?Go to the Banks there, and you can get nothing ; but go iuto an office down stairs, and there you will get money and get shaved.Was that the system they wished to have pursued here ?Let money be as free as other commodities and then it would find its own level.He concluded by moving the following amendment, not as absolutely the best but as the most likely to be adopted :\u2014 \u201c That this meeting views with anxiety the proposition introduced into the House of Assembly to amend the laws relating to the intejrestot money, and are of opinion, that the Banks m this Province should be restricted from taking m.ore than 8 per cent per annum.\u201d.Mr.A.Murphy seconded the amendment.Mr.D.R.WOOD would move another amendment which he did not expect to pass at that meeting, composed as he saw it was, but he would put it up if it were knocked do\\vn, so as to put on record his views.He stated at some length how commercial affairs sometimes required higher rales than 6 per cent, to be given for the loan of money.Much had been said of the privileges of the banks, but who got the benefit of them ?Was it not the public ?All the profit that the banks got was'6] per cent;., and the average amount of dividends on their stock, the public gotrhe advantages of all the profit beyond that.He moved the following amendment : \u201c Jlnd.be it -fiesolneii\u2014That this meeting without either approving or condemning Mr.SoL-Gen.Rose\u2019s Bill, are of opinion that in any abolition of the Usury Laws, the banks shall not be specially restricted more than individuals.\u201d Mr.T.S.BROWN said, in seconding It, a few more words in french.The chief point of them was that the rich got the chief adv n-.tages of the present system, and they, tfere ore, did not want any change.The «pposition o Mr.Rose\u2019s bill came from them.They could get money under the present system, an ey wanted to keep the monopoly of it, and prevent others not so well \u201cituated with respect to borrowing, from deriving the same advantages as they did.The effect of the bill would be to more equally distribute the loans of the banks, and the rich borrowers did not want that, but it was for t he advantage of others not so well situated.\t\u201e\t.\t, Alderman MARCHAND (in French) opposed the main motion.It was couched in language altogether too sweeping.(Sig-ns of dissaUsfac-tiuu were here made by persons in the meeting.) He asked if there were to be free discussion?If he could express his honest opinions ?He had much experience in this country; and he had had much opportunity to see the effect of the Usury Laws.His conscientious conviction was that they had been tbe curse and scourge (fleau) of the country.He was independent of the banks, and he aP°ke his independent and honest opinion.He held that the effect of the Usury Laws was to fill the pockets- of the rich, and injure the poor.At the present time he knew that rates which were fabulous, were paid in the country parts for money.Would this be the case if the trade in money was free and honest?Not at all.If they read the- newspapers they would see that many of the clergy of the district of Quebec had asked for the total repeal of the Usury Laws, view of the abominations of which they were He next described, at some length, the way in which the bank loans were given, showing that ordinary borrowers found it diffi-cnlt or impossible to get money from the banks, while the great importer got it for his bills ot exchange-and this was quite natural, for the banks were only merchants and made the best they could with their money.He was not, however, quite prepared to say that the banks should have the right to charge whal rates of interest they pleased without some restriction.(He, however, voted for Mr.Wood\u2019s amendment.) He stood up in the interest of the masses, and if his opinions were distasteful to the majority of the meeting, they were, at least, conscientiously held.Aid.HOMIER contended that the repeal of the Usury Laws would be the ruin of the owners of real estate and the agricultural interest, and otherwise inflict vast injury on the country.\u2014 With respect to the mention made of priests petitioning for the repeal of the Usury Laws, he was sorry for that, but there were priests Jews like other people, and who lent money on usury (Langhter.) Cries of Question.The MAYOR put Mr.Wood\u2019s amendment.\u2014 It was lost on a division by a large majority of the meeting.Mr.Ostell\u2019s was lost on the same division.The main motion was carried on the same division.The MAYOR\u2014Have you any doubts, gentlemen, ot the result ?Mr.OSTELL\u2014Oh 1 No ; we were quite satisfied before baud what would be the result from the composition of this meeting.We did not expect anything else.The following motions were carried on the same division :\u2014 Mr.PRATT, seconded by Mr.ED.ATWATER, propose that it be \u201c Resolved,\u2014That Lower Canada has never asked for the abolition of the Usury Laws ; and that, in the opinion of.this meeting, if they were repealed in the manner proposed in the draught of the Law in question, their repeal would have the immediate effect of depreciating the value of real estate to a considerable extent, of doing serious hurt to commerce, and of obstructing the development of manufacturing industry in this section of the Province.Proposed by Alderman HOMIER, seconded by Councillor YALOIS, and \u201c Resolved,\u2014That the Secretary be instructed to transmit certified copies ot the present Reso-.lutions to the Representatives of the City ot Montreal.\u201d The thanks of the meetinf\u2019were voted to the MAYOR for his able.conduct in the Chair, on motion of Aid.HOMIER.The MAYOR expressed his acknowledgments, And the meeting dissolved.The Hon.John Young explained that the omission In the Engineers\u2019 Report, referred to by Mr.Ryan, bad arisen in consequence of the death of Captain Child, to whom that portion of the Survey had been specially intrusted ; but added that he had, only the night previous, received from Mr.Me Alpine, of Chicago, a supplementary report, drawn up from his deceased colleague, Captaiu Childe\u2019s papers m which the advantages and disadvantages of extending the accommodation of the present harbour, were fully considered, without, however, in any , respect altering the conclusion arrived at, in favor of the locality recommended in the Report now before the Board.Mr.Young having read the supplementary report mentioned by him further explained that it would have been embodied in the main report, but for the mistake of the clerk employed to copy it.A long and somewhat desultory conversational debate ensued in which several gentlemen took part.\u2014It terminated by Mr.Ryan, seconded by Mr.D.R.Wood, moving the following amendment to Mr.Gould\u2019s resolutions :\u2014 Resolved,\u2014That the Report which has been considered to-day be received and that this(meet-iug do adjourn until this day week, to give time for printing the Supplementary report, i'ead \u201cY Mr.Young, and for laying the Appendices to the whole report on the table of the Boaid or c sidération.Mr.Ryan\u2019s amendment was carried upon a division, as follows :\u2014 For Mr.Ryan\u2019s motion\u2014Andrew Shaw, Geo.Jacob H Joseph, C J Cusack, L Mar- THE si;.JEKÛKE MURDEH CASE\u2014SENTENCE OF DEATH.Marie Anue Crispin, and Jeau Ble.Desforges, were placed at the bar, aud the crier having commanded, silence whilst sentence of death was about to be passed upon the prisoners, The Clerk of the Crown asked Marie Anne Ciispin, and Jean Bte.Desforges what they had to say why they should not receive sentence of death.Mr.Smyth replied, on the part of Jean Bte.Desforges, that hé had a motion to put in why the judgment of the court should be arrested in the case of this prisoner.The learned counsel handed in his motion which contained four points, and was to the following effect : 1-Because the verdict of the Jury was contrary to law and evidence.2\t_Because it was contrary to the charge and direction of the honourable judge.3\t_Because the evidence against Jean Bte.Desforges was not of such a character as to justify the said verdict.4\t_Because the charge of the learned judge was in direct contradiction to the evidence, ©eitgrai)!}.Reported for the Montreal Herald.BY MONTREAL LINE.Office, St.Sacrament Street.gituettow Sale».BY J.D BERNARD & CO.VERY ^\u2019^^«-Th^as Ryan William Edmonstone, Hugh Allan A Allan, 1 b Brown, R D Collis, John Collins, Wm Darling, Victor Hudon, Benjamin Hutchins Alexis Mousseau, John Ostell, T C Panton Adolphe Roy, Wm Rae, J B Smith, D R Wood\u201423.Against it\u2014Thomas Cramp, John Esdaile, H A Budden, Alex Campbell, Ira Gould, George Hager, Augustus Howard, Thos Kay, Theodore Lyman, Jas Mitchell, Alex Mitchell, Jas Mac-dougall, Francis Mullins, HA Nelson, P Bed-path, Romeo Stephens, Robert Simms, John Sinclair, N S Whitney, Hon John Young, R S Oliver, Rob.Esdaile\u201422, The Chairman then declared the meeting ad jOurned until Wednesday next.Court of Queen\u2019s Beneli.(Reported for the Montreal Herald.)

advertised call, for the purpose of considering \u201ca communication received from the Harbour Commissioners, relative to Harbour improvements, and the Report of the Engineers consulted by them on that subject.\u201d The Chairman of the Board, L.H.Holton, Esq., having been called to preside, opened the proceedings of the meeting, after a few appropriate words on the importance of the subject, by reading the following letter : Harbour Office, 1 Montreal, 10th April, 1858.$ Jolin G.Dinning, Usq., Secretary, Montreal Board of Trade.Sir,\u2014Iu accordance with a resolution of the Board of Trade, conveyed to me iu your letter of 9th July last, suggesting to the Harbour Commissioners the propriety of placing the whole subject of Harbour enlargement before two or more qualified engineers, to obtain estimates, and an opinion as to the place where increased accommodation cau be secured at the least cost and with the greatest facilities to the commerce of this port, 1 have now the honor, by direction of the Commissioners, to state to you, for the information of the Board of Trade, that they took the earliest opportunity of securing the services of three eminent American engineers, viz., Messrs.John Childe, Win.J.McAlpine, and James P.Kirkwood, to whom they delegated the duty of surveying and reporting upon the whole subject of iucreased accommodation in the Harbour of Montreal.These gentlemen met here on the 9th No-vembei last, and after spending several days in a close personal examination of the various localities around the Harbour, and in the vicinity of the city, they proceeded to Quebec, where they met'the Trinity Board, and surveyed the resources of that port.The report of the Engineers has been unavoidably delayed in consequence of the lamented death ot Mr.Childe, but the Commissioners have it now in their power to transmit you herewith a printed copy of that document [without the appendices], together with a resolution passed at a meeting of the Board this day, asking for an expression of opinion on the part of the Board of Trade, in regard to this most important matter, and which the Commissioners would feel particularly obliged by your communicating to me at as early a day as possible.The following is the resolution of the Commissioners above alluded to :\u2014 \u201c Resolved\u2014That the report of the Engineers, Messrs.John Childç, Wm.J.McAlpine, and Jas.P.Kirkwood, on the enlargement of the Harbour of Montreal, he transmitted to the Board of Trade, with a request that the same may be taken iuto consideration at as early a day as possible, with the view of elicitiug from that body an expression of opinion on the Report, as to the expediency of further measures being taken to enable the Harbour Commis-siouers to carry out the recommendations of the engineers.\u201d The arguments added by the Engineers, in favor of Point St.Charles being the most eligible site for the proposed improvements, appear to th'j Commissioners to be conclusive, and should the Board of Trade concur with them in that opinion, it might be considered expedient to transmit a full copy of the report to His Excellency the Govenor General, accompanied by all the\u2019 documents connected with the deepening of Lake St.Peter, and the general improvement of the navigation between Quebec and Montreal, and to direct the attention of the Government to the urgent necessity which exists for relieving the Harbour trust, and the trade of this Port, from the burthen of their liabiltylin carrying on these operations; for, un-+ ;i o.vrtii mlîof hr* nhtsiinGd thfi Cînmmissionprs ab- til such relief be obtained, the Commissioners fear it will be impossible for them to undertake any enlargement of the Harbour, aud which they feel to be a work deeply connected with the general interests of the Province.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, Alex.Clerk.Secretary.Mr.Ira Gould rose, aud after alluding to the importance and necessity of the proposed enlargement of the Harbour accommodation, and stating his conviction that any further delay in adopting measures for obtaining that enlargement, could not fail to have a serious aud most detrimental effect upon the commerce of the port, moved the following resolutions, which were seconded by Mr.Cramp :\u2014 1st.That this Board hereby tender their thanks to the Harbour Commissioners for the prompt attention to the important subject of a survey of tbe various Harbour localities, with the view of providing increned accommodation at this port, as suggested in the resolution of the Board on the 7th July last, and \u2018after a careful examination of the report of Messrs Childe, McAlpine, and Kirkwood, this Board concurs in opinion with the Commissioners that the best site for the improvements alluded to is on that point ot the river lying between the front of the Canal aud the Victoria Bridge.2\"; That it be an instruction to the Council of this Board to request a conference with the Harbor Commissioners, to consider and decide upon the best course to pursue iu bringing the subject of River and Harbor Improvements before the government.Mr.Ryan asked whether, by the adoption of Mr.Gould\u2019s first resolution, the Board would be considered as concurring in the views expressed in the Engineer\u2019s Report, in reference to the projected Caughnawaga Canal ; for if so, he added that he should certainly vote against it.He also objected that in that Report, its authors were entirely silent, in reference to the facilities existing for obtaining the required additional harbor accommodation, by extending e existing harbor opposite the city that being one of the localities mentioned in their instruc-tiona from the Harbor Commissioners.Wednesday, April 21 THE SENTENCES.\t.At one o\u2019clock the Chief Justice and Justice Alywin entered court ; and the sentences on those convicted during the term, were shortly afterwards pronounced.\t¦ The crier having commanded silence.The Court directed that Louis Dudevoir, should be placed at the bar.The prisouer was theu brought forward.He appeared to be in a condition far from sane , his countenance was contorted, and his eyes had a wild expression.Judge Aylwin\u2014Louis Dudevoir-You have been convicted of the crime of felony, after a previous conviction for highway robbery, and the sentence of the court now is, that you be imprisoned for fourteen years in the Provincial Penitentiary.The prisoner, on hearing- his sentence, gave vent to his feelings in a loud groan, and then swooned ; in which condition he was removed from the dock.\t\u2018\t, James and John Morgan, Charles Barker and Joseph Payette, were then placed forward, being convicted jof the crime of larceny.After a suitable address Judge Aylwin senteficed Janies Moran to be imprisoned in the common jail for the space of three months, and to be kept at hard labour ; John Moran, to be imprisoned pfor six months, at hard labour ; Charles Barker and Joseph Payette to a similar term of punishment.John Morgan Morris, convicted of the crime of rape, was then placed at the bar to receive sentence.Judge Aylwin addressed the prisoner\u2014John Morgan Morris, the way in which you conducted your defence proves you to be a profligate of the very worst kind ; and it seems, as far as you are concerned, that you did everything you could to destroy the reasonable expec-tations»of a poor orphan girl, and it is not your fault if this girl do not turn out to be a castaway.Though you well deserve to be sent to the Provincial Penitentiary, you will now be punished by imprisonment in the common jail ; but let me tell you that, after you have acquired your liberty, that in Lower Canada your appearance will be so marked that you will fiud it to be impossible to procure employment as a teacher of youth\u2014and that the youtlr of this Province will be preserved from coming into contact with such a villain as you.Ihe sentence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned in the common jail of this district tor the space of one year, and kept at hard labour.A little boy, named Pierre Lafieur, convicted of horse-stealing, was sentenced to be imprisoned in the common jail of the district, tor the space of one year.John Gibson, Pierre Herbert, James WHson, James Shaw, Jean Baptiste Romain, and John Sweetman, for the crime of felony, were sentenced to be imprisoned in the common jail for the space of one year, and to be kept at bald labor.Angele Bisson, and Louis MoUett, the former found'guilty of concealing the birth of her child, and the latter for the crime of larceny, were severally sentenced to be imprisoned for the space of eighteen months.Chester Walker was placed at the bar,for having been found guilty of stabbing, with intent to murder.Judge Aylwin, in the course of his remarks to the prisoner, informed him that there were two counts in the indictment preferred against him\u2014stabbing with intent to murder, and second, with intent to do grievous bodily harm.Upon the latter charge he had been convicted ; for it was highly necessary in Lower Canada, at least, that the crime of using stabbing or cutting instruments, should be severely punished, in order that it might be entirely repressed.The sentence of the Court, therefore, was that he should be imprisoned in the Provincial Penitentiary, and there kept at hard labor for the space of two years.George Washington, junr., convicted of breaking into a store, was sentenced to be imprisoned for two years in the Provincial Penitentiary, and kept at hard labour.George Hunter, convicted of the crime of larceny, was then set forward.Judge Aylwin said\u2014George Hunter, though the jury have recommended you to mercy, aud though a number of respectable persous have interceded in your behalf, it is impossible to allow a crime as dangerous as yours, to pass with-out'signal punishment.You were a confiden tial porter of the firm of Gibb, & Co.; you were employed in a store filled with costly and valuable articles ; you were well paid for your services, and accommodated with apartments in the premises, and yet you took advantage of your position to plunder your employers.As a punishment to you, and as a warning to others, who, in this city, in situations of trust might be tempted to follow your example, the sentence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned in the Provincial Penitentiary at Kingston, for the space of two years, and be kept at hard labour.James Anderson, for receiving stolen goods, was sentenced to be imprisoned in the Provincial Penitentiary at Kingston, for the term of three years, Edward Brady, burglary, and Lawrence Me Nally, same offence, and François Lesage, larceny, after a previous conviction for felony, were severally sentenced to be imprisoned the Provincial Penitentiary for the space of five years, and to be kept at hard labour.François Xavier Beauchamp, a little boy, not over thirteen years of age, found guilty of burglary and upon a second charge of larceny, was sentenced, on the first count to five year\u2019s imprisonment in the Penitentiary, on the second count to be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for two years ; making, in all, seven years.Johanna McCarthy, highway robbery, after a previous couviction ; Richard Clarke, burglary, aud Daniel Maher, for breaking into a shop, were then placed at the bar, with Thomas McFadden convicted of larceny.The Three prisoners, Johanna McCarthy, Daniel Maher and Thomas McFadden were sentenced to be imprisoned for seven years, in the Provincial Penitentiary, at Kingston, and Richard Clarke, a coloured man, was addressed as follows by Judge Aylwin :\u2014 Prisoner\u2014You took advantage of an indulgent master to perpetrate a desperate robbery.You ought to be aware that men of your race and colour find an asylum here which they obtain nowhere else, and therefore all of you ought to be careful iu conduct, and avoid all appearance in a Court of Justice; hut at the same time to let you know that men of Africau extraction cau no more commit crime with impunity than men of another race, the sentence of the Couit is that you be imprisoned in the Provincial Penitentiary for the space of seven years, and be kept at hard labour.Jean Bte.Alors, convicted of larcency, was sent to the Provincial Penitentiary, for the term of ten years.Charles Charpentier, found guilty of the same offence was sentenced to be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for the space of fourteen years.[This prisoner, as he was removed from the dock, was heard to utter some very obscene language towards the court.] Joseph Labelle, guilty on eighteen indictments for larceny was then placed forward.Having been asked what he had to say why sentence should not be passed against him, he replied, that, though convicted of larceny, there was this difference in his case, that his thefts were not committed with violence.Judge Alywin passed sentence on the prisoner.He said that the ingenuity with which prisoner effected his robberies rendered him exceedingly dangerous to the community ; and notwithstanding hie thefts had been unattended with violence, the sentence of the court was that he should be imprisoned in the Provincial Penitentary at Kingston, for the term of fourteen years, Prisouer\u2014I would rather you would hang me at once than give me such a sentence.[Laughter.] Court\u2014Remove the prisoner, Labelle was then removed.inasmuch as the said Judge gave it as his opinion that Jean Bte.Desforges was the party who placed the pillow over the mouth of the deceased.though no proof to that effect was adduced.Mr.Sinytb, in support of his arrest of judgment, proceeded to urge that the Judge, in charging the Jury, had no right to impress upon them that Jean Bte.Desforges was guilty, especially as it had not been stated in the confession of Marie Anne Crispin that he was at all concerned; and, leaving out this confession, there was no legal evidence upon which any jury could fiud a verdict against his client.Upon these grounds, therefore, he moved for arrest of judgment.Judge Aylwin said, in reply to Mr.Smyth, that the Jury had been cautioned in regard to the evidence against Jean Bte.Desforges j aQ\u201c though they brought in a verdict of \u201cguilty, their recommendation to mercy might be sup posed to show they had not forgotten the injunction.The jury had returned their verdict notwithstanding this caution, therefore the court could not entertain Mr.Smyth\u2019s motion and must proceed to pass sentence, The prisoners were then placed forward.Though the attention of a crowded court was directed on them, they betrayed no emotion, the female prisoner, particularly, being remarkably callous.She stood upright in the dock, and never moved a muscle, and regardless of the gaze of the bystanders, looked the Judge firmly in the face.The male prisouer, with his arms across his breast, betrayed not the slightest emotion, and manifested, along with his companion in guilt, the same self-control they had exhibited during the trial.Judge Aylwin addressed them as follows :\u2014 Marie Anne Crispin\u2014You, having had to answer before a jury of your country to an accusation of murder, by that jury you were foua guilty.It is inconceivable that a woman could be so depraved as to kill and murder another woman, under the guise of coming to assist in sickness.You have been probably led to this through the course of other crimes.It is almost impossible to realise the idea how you could have had the hardihood to remain in the presence of the corpse\u2014with a homicidal hand to have closed the eyes of one whom you deprived of the light of life\u2014still more so, that to remain in the presence ot the victim without evincing the least emotion looking on with cold eyes at events which caused in all other bystanders\u2019 the greatest emotion.Instead of being impressed with the scene before you, you seemed to be principally occupied with the wedding of your daughter.The murder iu question, of which you have been found guilty, presents, perhaps, one of the most atrocious examples of cold blood, under the circumstances, on record.Since the Conquest, we have, fortunately, had no example of such an atrocious murder.Tne country parts have generally been looked to as presenting the greatest appearance of peace and tranquilily, but ot late, the reverse has been the case.It is astounding that St.Jerome, in point of crime, literally speaking, has furnished more great criminals (without reference to population) than the city of Montreal.You, who have shown such little feeling for others, can certainly not expect that much feeling can be shown for you ; nevertheless, when duty requires that a human being should be sacrificed for the ends of justice, it is impossible to repress a certain feeling.As for you, Jean Baptiste Desforges, the accomplice of this depraved woman-\u2014forgetting your manhood\u2014you, who should have protected a woman, used that physical force with which nature has endowed you in hurrying to the other world a woman whom you were too cowardly to protect.You were called upon by your brother to remain with his wife, whose delicate state of health required the presence ot some one to assist her ; and instead of doing so, it is almost certain that you went there with the intention to kill.You perhaps may have been led to assist this vile woman through the hope of acquiring sordid gain; perhaps the impure liason which is sufficiently established between you, may have led to the commission on your part of such an awful crime, thi.t from one end of the province to the other, thei'.e is not a town New York, April 21.Captain Chalker, of the Hartford propeller Seneca, was accidently shot this morning, while standing on the pier alongside his vessel.He

without hesitation; and, when Mr.Howard appealed to Air.English to allow him to insert a short amendment providing for the submission of the Leavenworth Constitution at the same time, he declined.Mr.English then proposed to report immediately, but Air.Seward asked for an adjournment till to-morrow, in order to have time for consultation, but the majority consented to only two hours delay, and the matter was accordingly postponed till 2 o\u2019clock.At the appointed hour, Atessrs.Howard and Seward attended, but no other member of the Committee was present, and, after waiting some
