He continued to say I that he respected the English, but did not lika I tbe infusion of tbe Yankee element Hence he | passed on to observe that Uppe.Canada desired the chief advantage from the union.Upper Canda would have to maintain an army of Customs Officers, if disunited from the Lower PrBviuce, and would have great difficulty in collecting a revenue from customs.At the union I i Lower Canada bad her .treasury full, and had sa- W» ved Upper Canada from bankruptcy.And even | now it had been by no means proved that Upper Canada contributed more to the customs revenue than Lower Canada.It had indeed sixty cr seventy ports, while far more than half the dues were collected at the twenty-two ports, while far more than half the expense was incurred at the sixty or seventy.(Hear.) It was unfair to say ./ that tbe Government were not ready and willing to discuss the sulject\u2014they were anxious to do so.And he had no hesitation in saying that when the population was several hundred thousand in excess iu the west as compared with the east, the Government would be prepared to take up and discuss tbe whole subject of the Union.(Hear, hear.) Mt.GOWAN said this was a subject which ought to be very carefully and very calmly considered, as there was a good deal of agitation out of doors in regard to it.Such had not been tha manner in which some bon.gentlemen had treated it.The memberfor Toronto bad accused tbe member for Lambton of inconsistency iu bringing forward a measure of this kind, and continuing his support to a government which was opposed to it.Were not Mr.Lafontaine and Mr.Bald-win opposed to the principle now advocated, and yet did not the member for Toronto support those gentlemen when in office.If the member for Lambton could be justly accused of inconsistency, the censure which would fall on him would fall with ten-fold force on the member for Toronto.It was urged, that French Canadians were ruling tbe House.How could this be when, out of 130 members there were but 43 French Canadians.Mr.DUNKIN\u2014There are but 41.\to_- Mr.GOWAN thought he was correct in saying 43 ; but if there were only 41 that gave mi ra point to hia assertions.It was asked whether the Government could command a majority of Upper Canadian representatives.He would not say, but he would observe that the Attorney General West could control a larger party than any other, and more people in the country looked up to him than any body else.(Hear, hear.) He then read an extract from the journals of the House, at the time of the Union, when he asserted equality of representation as regards the two Provinces, was the chief stipulation.But some of the other conditions of the Union had been changed\u2014why then should not this one too ba altered?But he said representation should not be based solely on population but on properly likewise.For a proposition of that kind the member for Toronto would have his hearty support, irrespective of the manner in which it might affect the Ministry.In supporting the measure of the member for Lambton, which he should do, he did so with a view to have it improved in accordance with this idea.Reures-entation by population would give an unfair advantage to the inhabitants of the larger cities and towns, over those settled in the back woods.Hear, bear.What would gentlemen of the Opposition say if it were shown that the majority of Upper Canada votes were cast, at the late elec-tioo, for Minisrerialits ?This ha asserted was the case.Mr.FOLEY\u2014If you can show that then I will submit.Mr.GOWAN read a table showing that in constituencies represented by Opposition members, these members had polled 42,229, votes while the Ministerialists received 35,102, and if the votes given for the Ministerialists where there had been more than one in the field were added, it would be shown that there were some 10,000 more votes cast for Ministerialists than for Opposition men.Mr.Gowan proceeded to say that 1 he regretted Mr.Cauchon had made his motion in amendment.By doing so he threw down the guantlet to Upper Canada, or at least the west of it, for east of Kingston aud north oi the Rideau the people thought with those of Lower Canada on the subject.The House adjourned at 20 minutes past twelve.Commercial Bank of Canada.Nc DIVIDEND NO.50.OTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Dividend of Four per cent on the Capital Stock of this Bank, for the half year ending 30th June.next, has been THIS DAY declared, and the same will be payable at the Bank and its Offices on and after THURSDAY, the FIRST day of JULY next.The Transfer Books will be closed on SATURDAY, 12th June, andre-opened on 1st July.The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, will be held at the Bank on FRIDAY, the 25th day of June next, in conformity with the Charter.The Chair will be taken at noon.By order ot the Board, C.S.ROSS, Cashier.Commercial Bank of Canada, \\ Kingston, May 20, 1858.\t)\ttis-124.R.MUNDE\u2019S WATER-CURE ESTAB-LISHMENT, at Florence, Massachusetts (three miles from the Northampton Depot.)\u2014 Board §12 per week.References in Montreal ; John H.Evans, Esq., Ernest Schmidt, Esq.James Scott, Esq.Àpril 14.3m-ws 87 FOR SALE, BRICK-MAKING MACHINES, with ill complete.A.McNAUGHTEN, No.73 St.Mary Street, 0,\tlm-mwf-109 PATEtOK\u2019S SBUENAÇE, FROM THE ORiaiNAI.IRISH.Och!

and to incorporate the Village of Renfrew.The following bills were read a 2nd time and referred to committees :\u2014 To incorporate the village of Southampton ; Proof of foreign Instruments bill ; the Montreal Boulevard bill ; and Rattan\u2019s Patent Surrender bill.aaaorâiBB to population be sa dmdftH a pss, sure, it ought to be uniformly treated as it has hitherto been, and as the Orange bill was treated a few weeks ago; but that would be putting an affront upon a useful follower, which he could hardly fail to resent, without loss of all character.On the other hand, actually to have the bill come up to be read once, be discussed at length on the second reading, and have probably a two-thirds majority in Upper Canada, was to yield the outworks at least\u2014 was to permit the question to make a well-defined step towards a solution.In this di-lema, it seems that the course resolved on was the one intended to save the amour propre of the member for Lambton, and in spite of other dangers, even Mr.Loranger\u2019s proud stomach was brought to the point ot admitting a first reading.Mr.Cauchon, however, did not see fit to let off bis quondam friends so easily, and he has moved the three months\u2019 hoist.They have, therefore, to choose between the two courses\u2014either to show their love for Lower Canada, at the expense of denouncing Malcolm Cameron ; or their love for Malcolm Cameron at the expense of permitting a breach in the citadel of the equality of representation.To-day the ministerial Leader has an article, in which it asserts that, after all, the present system of equality of representation cannot be continued.DEBENTURES.I hear a very queer story about purchases of debentures.It is said that they have been made by the Government for Special Funds, such as the Indian and School Fund, at prices much above their real value ; and that a certain person, high in authority, hearing what was going on, refused to permit of any more such bargains on behalf of the Indian Fund.I do not yet venture to give any particulars, but shall probably be able before long to furnish the figures, if the thing be true.THE COBOURS AND PETERBORO\u2019 JOB.After keeping Mr.Fellowes in the House in spite ot his 300 forged votes, and defending the Rapaljee-Mercer sale, it is not surprising that Ministers or their friends should go to any extent whatever.Accordingly the Colonist to-^^x'i-üiÿi.o- tljat Mr.Cayley had £5000 of that they were increased in value by'the Act' oj Parliament passed to make the Grand Trunk Company advance money to the Cobourg and Peterboro\u2019 Road, nevertheless, fully justifies this method of taking money out of the Treasury and putting it into the Treasurer\u2019s pocket.Where are the erstwhile virtuous denouncers of Mr.Hindis\u2019 and his jobs.LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY: Toronto, June 10.To-day, Mr.Cartier introduced a bill for disfranchising the Parishes of St.Sylvestre, Stra-gathe, and St.Antoine de Gilly, in the County of Lotbiniere, during the present Parliament.The Speaker read a message from his Excellency, transmitting a dispatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, acknowledging the congratulatory address on the marriage of the Princess Royal.Mr.Cartier introduced a bill to amend the acts relating to the Seigniorial Tenure.Mr.Alleyn introduced a bill for extending the power ot the Quebec Trinity House ; and a bill to deprive Licentiates of the College of Physicians of their licenses in certain cases ; also a bill to regulate the education of Apothecaries, Druggists, &c.Mr.Cartier moved the concurrence of»the House in the report of the Committee of the Whole on the Judicature Act.[The above was accidentally omitted in our yesterday\u2019s issue.] Toronto, June 11, 1858.Last night, after the report left, the House continued the discussion on the Lower Canada Judicature Act till adjournment; having, in the meantime, rejected a motion of Mr.Dorion\u2019s to refer the report back to the committee, with instructions to strike out all clauses imposing imprisonment for debt in cases where that remedy was not now applicable, and having adopted the report with its amendments.To-day the Ottawa Election Committee reported that the sitting member was duly elect-ted ; and the petition of Mr.Bell frivolous and vexatious.The 3rd reading of the Lower Canada Judicature bill was then moved, and the discussion was proceeding when the House rose at 6 p.m.Editorial Correspondence Montreal Herald.of the Toronto, June 11, 1858.representation by population.In the House, last night, Mr.Malcolm Cameron brought up his bill for changing the representation, so as to base it on population.It was opposed by Mr.Chapais and Mr.Loranger \u2014the former gentleman declining to make any threats, but giving a gentle hint that he and his countrymen were quite ready for a fight upon it.Afterwards, like Mr.Loranger on a former occasion, he became a little afraid of his own force of expression, and affected to limit his meaning to a mere manifestation of moral and legislative, instead of gunpowder and cold steel, warfare.However, the volunteers of 1812 did a great deal more than merely talk and vote, and therefore, if talking and voting only were intended, one does not see the necessity for introducing those respectable warriors, by way of illustration of the resolution to be hereafter shown by their descendants.Mr.Brown made, of course, the most considerable speech of the evening.The strong central point of the whole was his appeal to the French Canadians to judge how they would feel if subjected to a system which exposed them to see themselves governed by men, who had as little the confidence of their own part of the Province, as was notoriously the case with John A.Macdonald, Mr.S.Smith, Mr.John Ross, and Mr.Cayley\u2014if, instead of being retained at the head ot affairs, because they enjoyed Lower Canadian confidence, they were kept \"there in opposition to the wishes of their own neighbours and fellow-countrymen, by the votes of the Upper Canadians.He pointed out to them not only that the Upper Canadian members of the Ministry had a majority against them on the Opposition side of the House, but that, upon the distinguishing questions, which Separated the two parties in Parliament, more than half of their own friende were pledged to their constituents to the principles of the Opposition, and that even this anti-Ministerial motion came from a Ministerialist, and would have the support of numerous members from the Ministerial ranks.This was feebly met by absurd attempts, on the part of Mr.Cartier, to show that Ministers were in a moral majority in Upper Canada, and of Mr.Gowan to prove that they were so statistically\u2014rather a foolish business, when Mr.Gowan himself will be forced to make one of a hostile majority, on what is undoubtedly the most important question which can be raised.As usual, poor Sydney Smith was exposed to universal contempt.It was clearly shown that he had declared on the hustings he would vote for representation according to population in the face of any Ministry, and that an Orange Lodge, which had published a recommendation of him to the electors, had done so because he was in favour of representation based on population.His excuse for voting against the bill is thathe wants to give more power to the yeomanry than to the \u201c refuse\u201d of the towns-a very fine xcuse for rejecting such a measure as Malcolm Cameron\u2019s on the second reading, when there is no question of details.The introduction of this measure by a Ministerialist, like Mr Came ron, creates a very ugly embarrassment among his leaders.Hitherto all such movements have been checked in their birth by motions of the previous question or other Parliamentary means of suffocation.But Mr.Cameron has been sines the commencement of the session, declaring himself strongly in favour of representation according to population, and the bill was the only way of accomplishing it, in contradistinction to Mr.Brown\u2019s more declaratory motion on the address.\"What sort of a figure, therefore, will Mr.Cameron cut among his friends, if the Ministry, whom he has so zealously supported, or even if the bulk of their followers do not even allow his bill the courtesy of a second reading?Here was a hitch.If representation From Our Ottawa Correspondent.Toronto, June 10, 1858.The timber is now beginning to come down the river pretty fast.I notice that the quality is much better this year, generally speaking, than for some year previous.The hardy lumber-men are in fine spirits, the news from Quebec is filling their large hearts with glad tidings, and their weather- soiled faces are radiant with joy.Long may they have reason to wear the smiles of happiness ; but I fear the improvement in prices will only be temporary, and that a reaction will soon take place.The timber is fully a month in advance of ordinary years in its descent to market, the result of the early spring.The weather is fine, and the crops, altho ugh backward, are fast assuming fair proportions.Business up here is rather dull, but I do not believe the Ottawaites have as much reason to grumble about the scarcity of money as most other communities in Canada.There is an extensive pigeon roost a few miles from this city, on the Hull mountains.I am credily informed that about 200 acres of wood land is fairly alive with them, great havoc is being made among them by the.rural sportsmen.In political circles there is trouble and deep affliction.The Fellowes\u2019 fraud has been sustained ; Scott is to be \u201c seated\u201d for this city ; corruption reigns triumphant, and the Ottawa interests are neglected.That is not a pleasant staje of things for any lover of his country to contemplate and muse upon.For my own part, I can hardly trust myself to speak upon these subjects at all.Only think of the influence of the Government of a country being so prostituted as to cover and shield such deep premeditated villainy as the Cambridge iniquities ! And yet I must say, bad as it is, I was not wholly unprepared for the result.I knew well, from experience, that the Ministry of John A.Macdonald are the most corrupt ever Canada tolerated, and that they are capable of doing much that honest men would shrink from ; hut then, that Cambridge fraud was of so flagrant a character, aimed so deep and took such high grounds, that I never could fully bring myself to think that even John A.Macdonald would dare to shield the political scoundrel Fellowes.In that I have been m istaken\u2014the government have taken the responsibility\u2014they have assumed the guilt of the transaction.What a spectacle is thus presented before the people, of a government encouraging and fostering fraud of the most palpable description.I have long been convinced that John A.Macdonald is not a friend to responsible government, and his action respecting the Russell election fraud, only the more fully strengthens me in that opinion.Truly this is laying the axe at the root of the tree ; it is a death-blow at the representative principle, and already many are crying out for a return the \u201cone-man-power\u201d system of government.Perhaps that is the object desired, and jf such he the case, I must say the means adopted are weli-calculated to attain the end desired.Looking at the matter in a moral light, it is heinous, and I cannot but often think what nice employment Sir Edmund Head must have in presiding over such a Council as he, (not the country,) has chosen for his advisers.Fellowes has been here for some days past, and is as hardened and as unblushing as any escaped criminal I ever saw.He even tries to laugh, but a close observer must see that it is au assumed expression.He had the impudence to visit the church of his fathers, and twice in one day too ! To him the evening lecture must have been peculiarly interesting, and possibly hrd its effect.The preacher prefaced an excellent discourse upon sin, by saying that, iu too many instances, the trespasser, .when arraigned before earthly tribunals escaped the merited punishment, because of irregularities or legal barriers ; but in impressive language he declared that there was a tribunal before which offenders must appear, where justice would be meted out, and from which there would be no escape, The \u201c observed of all observers\u201d affected indifference and even drowsiness ; but it was only affectation, for all present felt the force and direction of the observations.A well-dressed, dark-looking subject accompanied the \u201cmember ;by fraud,\u201d about whose identity there was a good deal of surmise.It was admitted on all hands that the stanger could not be any better than he appeared, else he would have sought better company.Many thought it was the notorious Earl Bedell,which wouid not be at all surprising.Bedell has now become a character, and no doubt will be looked upon as one of some importance.It was said of the late Mr.Zimmerman that he elected members to Parliament, and he was considered a man of mark.Under such circumstances it is not to be wondered at, if Col.Bedell should mount a pair of high-heeled boots, and file his appearance in our midst.Following close on the heels of the Russell election fraud, comes rumors of the decision in the Ottawa city election case.\u2019Tis said that the majority of the Committee have come to a decisiou\u2014they intend to declare Scott duly elected.They have not given the matter any consideration ; they have not even examined the petitioi s; nor do they need to\u2014their instructions are imperative.Bell would be a dangerous man to the ministry ; Scott will be a pliant tool, and must be kept in the House.Your readers are aware that Scott ran away to avoid service, and with all his subsequent proceedings.On the ground thatS cottwas not legally served, 1 hear, will the Committee decide that he is entitled to the Seat.They will not go into evidence as to the validity of the votes recorded for Scott\u2019s case will not bear investigation.The Judge thought the service sufficient to justify him in proceeding with an investigation ; but John A.Macdonald thinks otherwise.In the case of the Renfrew election, the Committee decided that Mr.Cayley had been legally elected, although the provisions of the statute had not been complied with.But eircum-stances alter cases.Iu that case the Committee reported that the petition was not frivolous or vexatious.Iu this case I am curious to know the decision of the Committee in that respect.Will they dare to declare Bill\u2019s petition frivi-ious and vexatious, thereby saddling him with the costs, and to insult adding injury?And how can they do otherwise, if they decide that Scott was not properly served with the notice of protest.In view of the decision, I presume, they will congratulate Mr.Scott on his cleverness in evading the law.Scott's people are in particular exstacies on the prospects of the favorable result of the decision of the Committee.They speak highly of its members, acknowledge their indebtedness to Brother Benjamin, and greatly admire the Gov ernment.Scott and his friends have taken unusual pains to secure the Committee.The greatest possible attention has been paid to them to\u2014 make matters pleasant.\u201d .You remember how a certain \u201cBaby\u201d managed to curry favor with certain members of Parliament in order to effect !S ends, by giving fashionable entertainments, and champagne suppers, and securing the presence ot some of the prettiest demoiselles of Lower Canada,to grace his board and adorn his drawing rooms.Scott, I hear, took a lesson MOrTi from tbs « Baby,1' sgevyfocj ae»,* of % gotm mittee by the grass and charms brought to Mar upon them.\u201cOh the light that lies in ladies eyes 1\u201d It's an old saying that there is more ways of killing a dog than choking him with butter, and this, I doubt not, Mr.Scott has realized within the past few weeks.He has been here for the past day or two, it is said, preparing the way iu which they are to receive him.It is a notable fact that all the Ottawa representatives, save McCann, Papineau, Bell, and Gowan, voted to sustain the Russell election fraud.Powell, Scott, Heath, Cayley, Playfair, went in for the fraud.And this is but the beginning of the play.Every dog has its day : the present is their\u2019s, and the reckoning is three years in the distance.The papers say that Master Bill Powell has threatened to \u201cimpeach\u201d the Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands respecting his position towards the Ottawa.This is all very fine in print.Mr.Killaly, I own, is not a friend to Ottawa improvements, as I have told you long ago; but the Beauty of Carleton is not the man to demolish the assistant Commissioner\u2014he has not the capacity to convict him ; not the integrity to pursue him.If bluster would avail, I confess, the Beauty might be officient, but where mind is necessary he must fail.Besides, it is an easy and not very costly matter to seal the Beauty\u2019s lips, and make him as mute as a fish.Even this kind of thing must have an end, rascality cannot always flourish: Master Bill will run to seed one of these fine days\u2014 you will see.CHAUDIERE.'KEAti îfBftÀtili AKOMILV mm MÜRï)ÔS BOARD THE AMIRïOaN SHIP \u201c J.a PARSONS.\u201d NEWS BY THE \u2018'ASIA.\u201d The \u201c Asia\u2019s\u201d mail reached town, from New York, yesterday afternoon.We make the following extracts from papers received :\u2014 WAR BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND NAPLES.From the London Times.People may talk of the insolence of a great fflil:%'f'a\u201d'fôtar\u201c,àTsafg%çuu8})\"ileLd.?^0j:I\u201c?i obligations, and a supreme contempt for all those who are brought into contact with it, commend us to a European State of the fifth class, ruled over by an absolute monarch, and fanatically devoted to the cause of law, order, and religion.We have not found the Emperor of China very easy of access, or very courteous when approached ; we have suffered many things at the hands of our Transatlantic cousins ; and we have endured things difficult to stomach from the high and puissant authorities who rule in the Spanish Peninsula.Our extensive commerce and world-wide activity have brought us into contact with many strange races and peoples, and, in the course of a long career of conquest and success, we have as frequently been called upon to exercise the virtue of patience as of valour.It is necessary that we should remind ourselves, like Ulysses, that we have ere now endured worse\u2014quondam majora tulimus\u2014in order to preserve proper temper and coolness under the last of a lono-and uninterrupted series of provocations, to which we have been submitted during the last year at the hands of the least warlike and least respectable power on the Continent.It is now almost a year ago since the armed ships of the King of Naples seized the Sardinian packet Cagliari on the high seas, in defiance of international law, and placed her crew in a loathsome dungeon.Of all the victims of this act of high-handed oppression none were less obnoxious to the charge of conspiring against the Neapolitan Government than the two English engineers.Their vocation necessarily confined them to the engine-room ; they were ignorant of the Italian language ; they were acting strictly in the discharge of their duty, which was to supply the vessel with motive power, without in any way interfering with the direction in which that power was to be used.The only ground of detention seems to have been an English document, drawn up at Genoa, and placed in their hands in order to prevent the difficulty of conversing through an interpreter\u2014a document which, fairly considered, was of itself a proof of the absence of all concert or guilty knowledge of the plot beforehand, as their remaining by the ship clearly showed they had no wish to join their fortunes with those of the desperate men who were about to land in pursuance ot their desperate and hopeless enterprise.Any other Power, once satisfied with those facts, would have released the engineers with a handsome acknowledgement, of their innocence.But England the Great has no mercy to expect from Naples the Little.These Englishmen were treated with a barbarity equal to that with which the Neapolitan Government uses its own subjects, or rather, with a happy mixture of tyranny due to a native, with the stolid contempt naturally entertained for a foreigner ;_ Subjectos tanquam smos, viles tanquam aliénas.\u2014 Under the exhausting heat of a Neapolitan summer, they were immured in rooms small, fetid, and ill-ventilated ; their beds swarmed with vermin, and the ordinary comforts and decencies of life were utterly neglected.Their food was of the most loathsome description, such as these men, neither used to delicate fare nor to a very pure atmosphere, were often unable to touch.Under an interpretation oi the Criminal Code of Naples manifestly untenable, they were for many months debarred from seeing their fellow-countrymen, from hearing their native language, from receiving letters from their friends, and so depressing was the unexampled inhumanity to which they were subjected, that their spirits gave way under the trial, and these vigorous and hardy young men were driven, the one to madness, the other to ah attempt at suicide.This lasted seven months, and then came their trial, and with it the knowledge, which could no longer be withheld, of the fearful sufferings from which\u2014 there being not a shadow of proof against them \u2014they were, at the earnesty entreaty of our Government, released, but even then without any admission of their innocence.The law officers of the Crown have united in opinion that for such gross and unprovoked cruelty the men were entitled to compensation, and, compensation having been demanded accordingly, that compensation has been distinctly refused.No doubt the Neapolitan Government believes, from its former experience of this country, that it may take such a step as this with the most perfect impunity.It knows how difficult it is for the strong to proceed to extremities with the weak, and how impossible wholly to dispel the suspicion that might has been called in to aid the defect of right.It knows how deeply Austria is interested in preventing a collision which might strike out a spark capable of lighting up a blaze from one end of Italy to the other.It knows the heavy responsibility which is involved in a step which might overthrow every Government in the Peninsula, and involve the Italian people at once in the miseries of a foreign and the horrors of a civil war.It knows that it stands upon a loaded mine, but it believes that mine will not be lit for fear of the buildings that may be shattered by the explosion.These are, it must be admitted, considerations of very great weight ; yet, even these considerations ought not to assure Naples as to the result of the ill-advised course on which she seems resolved to risk her existence.Should the result of her obstinacy be the overthrow of the existing state of things in Italy, this result, although not one which the people of this country have any vocation to bring about, is one which they will assuredly witness without either dismay or displeasure.It is for those who have so much at stake to lay these things to heart before it is too late, rather than for the injured party to torbearfrom asserting his rights out of deference for the feelings and care of the interests of those who set him a defiance.If Italy be in such a position that a war with any one of its Powers must necessariily lead to a war of opinion and nationality the fault is none of ours, and we cannot be expected to forego the satisfaction to which we are clearly entitled simply because our antagonist has alienated his subjects as well as his allies, and cannot make war without incurring the certainty of domestic rebellion as well as foreign invasion.The first shot fired from an English man of war will echo from the Straits of Messina to the Alps.We seek no such catastrophe, but it is for those on whom it will fall to avoid it, not for ns to avert it.Something is said of mediation, but what is the mediator to deal with?The facts are admitted, the law is indisputable, and England must be changed inde,ed if she exact for her poorest citizen conpensation less diligently than fer the richest and noblest of the land.There is but one tone which becomes a British Cabinet under such circumstances.There has been far too much delay already, and the time has arrived for immediate satisfaction from the Neapolitan, or immediate action by the English Government.NEW STEAMERS LONGER THAN THE LEVIATHEN.[From the Liverpool Jllbion.'] While public attention has been attracted so stiongly by the unusal dimensions of the Leviathan that the name of that vessel is in everybody\u2019s mouth, it happens singularly enough that two vessels of greater length, and of a more remarkable character, have been advancing to completion in Liverpool without the general public being even cognizant of their existence.Those vessels are each 700 feet long.They have been constructed by Messrs.Vernon & Son for the Oriential Inland Steam Company, and are inteded for the navigation of the Indian rivers.The purpose of their peculiar features of construction is to enable a large cargo to be carried at a good rate pf speed upon a light draught of water.The great rivers of India, though penetrating far into the interior, and though containing large volumes of water, are, nevertheless, shallow during the dry season.The vessels navigating them must, therefore, float very light, and yet they must have displacement enough to carry a good cargo.They must have strength enough not to suffer injury if they should get aground, and they must present such little resistance to the water as to be able to achieve a satisfactory rate ot progress against the stream.All these indications are admirably fulfilled in the e vessels.John Shields, boatswain, and George Williamson and James Thom, seamen, on board the American ship J.S.Parsons, who had been in custody a week, charged with the murder of of a shipmate named Henry Barwell, during the voyage fo New-Urleans, were for the first time brought publicly before the Liverpool magistrates on Saturday, May 22.The following deposition, among others, was taken : Daniel Smith\u2014I was one of the crew of the /.S.Parsons on her last voyage from New-Or-leans to Liverpool ; John Shields was one of the crew ; he was very noisy on the night we left New-Orleans, and I heard him strike against the bulkhead partitions in the forecastle with a sling shot he had in his hand, and say, \u201c1 can lick any-on board the ship : a good while after that I heard cries of \u201c Murder\u201d from the other side (the port side) of the forecastle, and ran there : X saw John Shields beating a man named Harry with what I believed to be a sling shot, and at the same time I saw another man called George, beating the man Harry with a belaying-pin on the face, but I cannot say, whether the pin was of iron or wood ; Harry was in his berth ; Shields and George were beating him about the head and face, and a man called \u201cScottie\u201d was holding Harry\u2019s legs down ; \u201c Scottie\u201d had a belaying-pin in his hand, and he struck him with it ; but I cannot where the blow fell ; the blood was gushing out of Harry\u2019s nose, and from a hole in his forehead, but I cannot tell how long, from the forecastle combing, half in and halt out of the door, and not more than 10 or 12 feet from the man Harry\u2019s berth : and I could plainly see from there, the blood flowing from his head ; this was, I think, a little after twelve o\u2019clock, and it would be therefore on the 29th ofMarch last, as we sailed on the 19th ; there was a lamp burning in the forecastle at the time ; after they had beaten Harry they went over to a man known by the name of \u201cLong Jack and Shields hit him with a slnng-shot ; they then went over to Harry, and said, \u201c Come out of this and let\u2019s wash you, you-, and see how you\u2019ll look then ;\u201d I then went to my own berth ; about two o\u2019clock in the morning I saw Harry laid out on the spars on deck, and he ap-i j.> l:.\u201e\t.i my fingers gently on a, hole m his forehead, which was about sm inch iu depth ; I took his arm, which was hanging towards the deck, and put it on his breast, but it would not stay there ; I shook him, and called upon him, but he made no answer, and I only heard a noise in his throat, which I supposed to be caused by blood ; I shook him again fifteen minutes afterwads, but he made no answer, and I believe he was dead ; I saw him again in a quarter of an hour, and about half an hour afterwards, just at the grey of the morning, he was missing from the spars ; shortly after seeing Harry f,,r the last time, I went into the forecastle, and, when lying in my berth, I heard Dutch George\u2014\u201c Scottie\u201d\u2014and Shields come into the forecastle ; I heard George say : \u201c The best thing we can do with him is to heave the-overboard ;\u201d \u201c Scottie\u201d said : \u201c Yes ; and the - will then tell no tales \u2019 Shields, pointing to my berth, said, \u201c Hush !\u201d and added something about being shy about it ; there was no steamer or vessel alongside us that I saw or heard of from the time I saw Harry on the spars until I missed him from there, and I don\u2019t think more than half an hour elapsed from the time I saw him on the spars until I missed him.The deposition having been taken in Liverpool, it is understood that the prisoners will be at once conveyed to the United States for trial.MR.RAREY AND THE ZEBRa.From the London News.Mr.Rarey, the celebrated American horse-tamer, whose feats have already attracted the notice both of the pulic and the press of the United Kingdom, reopened his school in Kin-nerton-street yesterday, for one flying lecture previous to his departure for Manchester, Liverpool, and Scotland.On this occasion the little theatre was filled with the professor\u2019s most distinguished pupils, and the result of the lecture was to convince every one present that his system is perfectly sound and legitimate\u2014 sound in principle, and sound in application ; that it is based on a life-long observation of the equine idiosyncracy, physiological and psychological, and that there is not one particle of quackery or empiricism in it from beginning to end.But the great novelty of the day was the introduction of the Zebra of the African desert, the latest pupil in Mr.Rarey\u2019s school, and one with which, although he ultimately expects to drive him through Hyde-park, he yet makes his account to have a great deal of trouble.ti?i\tsvm i yâ Us of'rade ïlliÜ T/lXi'î'süN JïïeetiDg of the Board [Reported for the Montreal A meeting of the Board, callec# consider this question, was held yestero at three o\u2019clock, Luther H.Holton, Esq., the chair.There were present\u2014Luther H.ion, President ;

My Dear Sir : The Nord of May 19, it its account of the duel of my friend and collaborator, M.Henri de Pene, says that my interview with His Excellency, the Minister of Justice, hss been variously appreciated.As the most upright intentions are open to false interpretations, I shall feel much obliged to you if you will insert these few lines, to explain the object I had in view in the step I took under the melancholy circumstances.I did not ass for an interview to lodge a com plaint on account of the deplorable incidents which are connected with the second duel of M.de Pene, because magistrates in France are aware of the duties they have to fulfill without need of admonition.I never for a moment doubted that full justice would be rendered.My visit to the keeper of the Seals was made with another object in view.On arriving at Paris from Blois, after this lamentable affair, I found much excitement.I found various letters addressed to me by men who emulated each other in offers to avenge our lost comrade.Many other persons sent their cards to the office of the Figaro with the same intentions ; all expressed the same disgust at the second duel, knowing well that a blow was not necessary to compel M.DePene to fight a second duel.On the other hand it has been stated that, after a warm discussion on the topic, which still excites Paris, another duel was to take place between M.DePomereux and M.DeGallifet.Feeling the gravity of the circumstances, I felt it my duty to call upon the Minister of Justice to assure him that I should do everything in my power to prevent further bloodshed.The excitement in the public mind was such, that a prompt explanation was necessary.I at once published an extra sheet in explanation, the moderation of which I hope all honorable men will approve.I have endeavored especially to show that the army is not responsible for the acts of one of its members.In support of this idea, I have published a letter from two officers in the Guides, MM.Gran-gier and Comminges, and I adverted to the courteous conduct of M.Oourtiel, the first opponent of M.DePene.One word more, the Nord says that my friend M.de Pene was the victim of the duties which a certain portion of the Press imposes upon its contributors.French journalists never needed to be reminded of courage.Duels are not confined to the lesser journals.I may mention those of Armand Carrel, of Dujarrier and Amedée Ac-hard.I only mention three\u2014I could mention thirty.I am, &c., H.DE VILLEMESSANT.In reply to the above letter the editor of the Nord says : We have only a word to say in reply, which is, M.de Villemessant has misunderstood our meaning.When we said M.de Pene was the victim of the duties which a certain portion of the Press imposes upon its contributors, we meant to say that he was the victim of the obligation of the necessity of the contributors to such a paper to make a joke at the expense of others at the risk of a disagreeable result.Between the meaning of our words and that of M.de Villemessant there is the same difference as between the causes and the character of the duel of M.de Pene and the causes and the character of the duels alluded to by the editor of the Figaro.Farewell to Lieut.-Oolonel, the Baron de Rottenburo.\u2014It will be seen, by the advertisement in another column, that the Officers of the Montreal Militia Brigade will entertain their old commandant at a complimentary dinner, in the St.Lawrence Hall, on Tuesday next, previous to his taking command of the Prince o Wales\u2019 Own Royal Canadian Regiment, the 100th.\t_______________________ Erratum.\u2014In our Toronto correspondent\u2019s remarks yesterday, on Mr.Loranger\u2019s réchauffé of his abandoned, two-year-old \u201c double- majority\u201d arguments and phrases, in opposition to representation by population, for variety, read unity of opinion, among Lower Canadian members.S.Brown, R.D, Collis, Alexan William Carter, Louis De La Darling, John Dyde, George Dor, Thos.A.Evans, A.M.Forbes, Cyprien I utricle, Jas.Gordon, Ira Gonld, Geo.Hagar,|nes Hutton, Frederick W.Henshaw, Benjan lutchins, S_ Jones Lyman, Theodore Lymafohn Levey, James Mitchell, Alexander Ison, Alexis Mousseau, William Murray, Ale: 1er Mitchell, Donald L.Macdougall, Hanbt L.Macdou-gall, Andrew M\u2019Farlane, Frad Mullins, H.M'Kay, H.A.Nelson, James!Noad, John Ogilvy, R.S.Oliver, John Pd E.A.Prentice, Hon.Louis Renaud, L.Routh, Adolphe Roy, Romeo Stephens G.[Shipway, Robert Simms, John Sinclair, i Tylee, J.W.Taylor, James Tyre, Alexande|rquhart, N'S.Whitney, D.R.Wood.The President, in explainiiitue business of the meeting remarked there ifuo doubt but a considerable number of thosejsent had attended a meeting ot the citizenfio assembled on Wednesday last to consi;

and he ivouif pention them in the shape of suggestion^ i the first place he would advise that gent\u2019em who had the management of the city funlshould see that in the collection of these fis the machinery they were working was not (expensive.He believed there was an estahlpentat the City Hall which was exceedingly 'te and extensive, he was afraid, also, too elusive ; and he thought it behooved gentlin who had the management of the citjfunds to look and see if this unnecesy outlay could not he curtailed.There as also a great deal of money thrown awaji unprofitable labor in our streets.The œr day he saw a dozen men sweeping GreajSt.James\u2019 street, when it was perfectly clea|-[laughter]\u2014and he supposed the same waiie case iu other parts of the city, and that tjlve men here and the same number there weranployed in doing nothing.As regarded the mner in which this kind of business was perioriü, he might mention he saw every day, for thast month, while returning home, an accumuiion of mud in the Hay Market, in the vicinit of Beaver Hall.This might have been removt when it was first scraped together, but the ot!r day it grew hard and consolidated and he sè men breaking it up with pick-axes.[Laugljr.] With a little attention to matters liice the he believed that the money now raised in theity would be able to keep Montreal in a bettertate than it is now in.He considered that t| bill in its present shape should not pass ; anihe was of opinion that the Council, before tey brought it forward, ought to have takenthe advice of the citizens.Mr.MURRAY corroborai! the statements of Mr.Ryan, with regard t the incident witnessed by the latter genthien in Great St.James\u2019 street.Mr.MARCHAND\u2014Thismeeting has not been called to consider tt manner in which the streets are swept.The CHAIRMAN here mded the following resolution :\u2014 Moved by Mr.TORRANCE, seconded by Mr.H.ALL47 : That the scheme of taxaion contained in the bill now before the House f Assembly, entitled \u201c An Act to amend the Acts incorporating the City of Montreal,\u201d is iquisitorial, unequal, and calculated deeplj to injure the trade of this city ; and tha the Council of this Board be intructed to pettion the Legislature against the same.Haying waited for sonn moments, and no one rising to offer any sujgestion, Mr.MARCHAND rose to address the Board.He said he did not expect that his observations would influence any member of the Board, but he merely rose to say a few words in defence of the City Council and the Bill, mnu vr\tV 0 unjustly, and unreasonably.He was not surprised that gentlemen should find objections to the bill ; but had they, like him and his friends, studied the matter foi two years, and carefully judged it while collecting its materials, they might not, perhaps, ke so ready to find fault.The principles of the bill were correct ; the details were only objected to, and the opposition was for the purpose of mating capital and getting the matter thrown overboard.What did the bill ask for ?To tax property in three classes\u2014real estate, personal estate and income ; besides embodying a few special assessments applying to taverns, etc.Gentlemen, perhaps, were not aware, that by the statutes of Lower Canada, the Council had a right any day to tax personal property in the city of Montreal ; but they were only empowered to tax real property at the rate of Is 6d in the pound.Bp the Act l7th and 18th Vic., chap.128, sec.58, it was proviled that the Corpora-tirn might levy by means of a rate of assessment each or every year upon real and personal estate within the said city, provided that such assessment in no one year exceeded Is 6d in the pound.The Board would see by these aiithor-itie's that the Corporation already had the power he asserted, but in this bill they only wanted additional power to make a certain class of gentlemen contribute to the revenue of the city ; to make those contribute who had an income or salary of two, four, five, six, seven, eight or twelve hundred pounds a year.The power which the Corporation asked was accorded to every other similar body in Canada, with the exception of those of Quebec, Montreal, Three Rivers, and St.Hyacinthe.All over Lower Canada, the Corporations had a right to tax personal and real estate, but not over a certain amount.The same law existed iif the United States, andin Upper Canada He had been told by some ot his friends that he ought not to have gone to the United States to obtain a precedent for taxation ; but when he went to Upper Canada, where the people were considered by the chief government to be the superior race\u2014 [laughter]\u2014his system, surely, could not be held to be wrong.[Applause and laughter.] He did not wish to make any personal allusions, but he fancied that some gentlemen were opposed to this bill because it touched their own interests.Mr.Murray said that a poll tax of two dollars ought to be put on every one over twenty years of age, but he did not consider at the time, if every one would be able to pay this.Mr.MURRAY\u2014I do not believe that six out of ten pay that tax.Mr.MARCHAND thought that Mr.Murray had not proved this.It had been stated at the last meeting, by a gentleman who was not now present, that Corporation bonds over due in England since May had been protested.As chrairman of the Finance Committee he had several times since denied the statement ; and in support of what Ipweii.biLJvoiild now read a letter ou the subject received from the City Treasurer.Mr.Marchand here read the letter in question, which is as follows :_ City Hall, Montreal June 11, 1858.Louis Marchand, Esq., Chairman oj the Finance Committee : Sm,\u2014In reply to your question as to whether any of the Corporation\u2019s Bonds had been protested either here or iu England, and whether any such Bonds were still under protest for nonpayment, I beg to state that no Bonds of the Corporation haye ever been protested for nonpayment, with the exception of a small part of those lent to the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad Company mentioned below.There are no Bonds of the Corporation now lying under protest.The Corporation Bonds amounting to £15,000, which became due in England on the 1st of May last, at the Com\u2019 mercial.Bank of London, have been punctually paid, together with the interest on the whole £125,000, as you will pereeive by referring to the letter of Mr.Cutbill, our Agent in London, of the 23rd of April last, acknowledging the receipt of £18,937 10s Ste:.; and also, his letter of the 7th of May last advising the transmission of the paid Coupans and Bonds, which documents are now in my possession.No Bonds of the Corporation have ever been protested, with the exception of the £25,000 issued as aioan to aid the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad Company, which fell due on the 1st of March, 1857, and which the Grand Trunk Company were bound to have protected.These, however, have been since paid, with the interest due upon them up to the time of payment.I understand it has been asserted in this city, that the Corporation had £18,000 of its Bonds protested for non-payment, and that these Bonds were still lying under protest.That assertion is wholly untrue, and you may confidently give it the most positive and unequivocal denial.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, E.DEMERS, City Treasurer.Mr.MARCHAND went on to say that this fact was a refutation to those who, though they did not pay five shillings a-year to the city reve- ratiaii itq menthars «P ta fus ridicule of public meeting of gentlemen.Mr.EDMONSTONE\u2014Name.Mr.MARCHAND\u2014Those whom the cap fits may put it on.[Laughter and loud applause.] He was aware that this bill would not pass ; and he was not bound to use any exertion to make it pass, because the Corporation were divided upon the subject.He was, however, gratified at the result of the matter, because it showed that the corporation could not not much longer exist in its present condition.In the present composition of the Council a law which would tax property alone would not be carried.Yet if this session passed without the corporation being granted power to increase the revenue, he would abandon his position, as a member, rather than see its bills protested and the city property sold under the hammer.Mr.Ryan had stated that the city bonds fell overdue owing to the inattention of the Council.Now, such was not the fact, hut at any rate it did not look well for Mr.Ryan to say so.Men like Mr.Ryan should enter the Council and work ; they had a right to do so after having made their fortune in the city.(Applause.) It had been said that jobbery existed in the Council.Now, he defied any man to find a Corporation in America where there had been so little jobbing.He had been six years in the Corporation but could not discover an instance where a member was six pence the better of it.(Hear.) Money might have been mispent ; but that such was the case in a large establishment was not to be wondered at, for even, in a merchant\u2019s private business money was mispent in spite of care and attention.After those assertions he would ask was it fair before persons knew the proper condition of things to pounce upon an isolated member of the Council at a public meeting and raise a laugh against him?this was a poor return for working so long for the city.(Hear, hear.) He would not be a gainer if the bill were to pass, for he would have to pay taxes to the amount of twenty-five or thirty pounds a year more than at present.He believed the bill was just and fair in its principles, he gave it a conscientious support ; aud if no other scheme for the increase of the leven-ue was brought forward, the responsibility of what might follow would fall upon them not upon him.(Applause.) Mr.T.S.BROWN thought it would not be right when money was wanted for the city, to come into the meeting merely for the purpose of knocking down this bill and offering nothing else.The merchants, present, who were adapts at finance, ought if they disapproved of the bill to find out a better mode of raising the revenue.[Hear.] Mr.MURRAY\u2014The present question is not one of the pocket.Merchants would not object to pay six or seven per cent more, but they are adverse to the inquisitorial nature of the bill.If the corporation struck out the clauses, from the 12tli to the 30th, they might not object to the bill even if it compelled them to pay an increase of fifteen per cent.Mr.IRA GOULD proposed the following motion :\u2014 Moved bv Mr.I GOULD, seconded by Mr.ESDAILE \u2022 That a Committer of this Board, consisting of Messrs.H.Allan.W.Murray, T.Ryan, I.Gould and D.Torrance, be appointed to confer with such Committee as may be appointed by the Corporation, with the view of acting with them in devising the best system of raising the necessary revenue for the city.Mr, T.S.BROWN inquired if the meeting objected to the bill in toto.Mr.MURRAY was understood to say that the principal objections were found between the 12 th and 30 th clause.Mr.T.S.BROWN inquired if, during the session a small act could be passed allowing the Council to borrow money.Mr.MURRAY replied iu the affirmative.Mr.MARCHAND said it was painful for him to make the admission, yet he must state that, for the last three or four years, the Mayor and many of the Council had to give their own promissory notes for the current wants of the city.The Corporation were much indebted for the generous assistance tendered to them by the Banks of the city, who often came forward when the Corporation was in a strait.He did not think that the Government would allow them to borrow money unless they increased their rates to meet the interest.Mr.ALLEN said that some scheme should be adopted to get the Corporation out of its present difficulty.They ought to be allowed to borrow money ; and the taxation should be increased to meet the interest, and a sinking fund cueated on the amount.The Corporation should be allowed to borrow £100,000.The resolution of Mr.Torrance was here put and carried, Messrs.Marchand, Lyman, Gould, Joseph and Esdaile dissenting.Mr.RYAN, who here entered the room, said that he had heard he had been blamed by Mr.Marchand for saying something about the Corporation Bonds overdue in Loudon in May.This was not his statement, but had been made by a member of the Corporation, who was not a member of the Board.He had merely said that Bonds had become due owing to the inattention of the Corporation.\u201e -, ____ - butin Y*aida an advance lias takeQ place in v/bsat aud flour, particularly owing to the enforcements of the law for bakers to keep up a certain stock in the public grainaries.The weather has been cold this week, and in some parts heavy rains have prevailed.In this district slight showers Have occasionally fallen\u2014beneficial rather than otherwise.The farmers have increased their deliveries considerably in the last two weeks.At our Corn market, on Tuesday with a retail demand, wheat generally was sold in favor of the buyer, and in the Chicago red wheats a decline on the week of 2d was established.Flour in barrels was sold 6d to Is cheaper on the week.Indian Corn was rather lower.At to-day\u2019s Corn Market, here with a small attendance there was little demand ;

the line is now 121,461,468 beyond the minimum point of 1857, on the 28th of Nov., and f 5,652,665 below the maximum on the 8th of August last.Altogether, the Statement is a favorable one.BOOTS AND SHOES\u2014Trade is unusually dull ;
