better understood, and used on all occasions when pain or uneasiness is experienced.Let ns hear this fact in mitd, that disease always gives unmis-takeable signs of its approach.At first the patient experiences a slight discomfort, this is followed with pain to a greater or less extent, and other symptoms follow in rapid succession, until some formidable disease becomes fully developed.If on the first indication of pain, uneasiness or discomfort, a dosé of RADWAY\u2019S READY RELIEF Is administered, pain and discomfort will disappear, 4nd(:hp sepds pf tlje wprjdng dise$sp be p^ppljed from the system.Bear in mind, that when you are seized with pain in any part of the body, or feel cold chills, or hot flashes, head-ache, sniyerings, cola feet, pain ill the back, loins, legs, arms, or in the stomach, bowels, across tjie smftd bf thp back, sore thr< at> watery discharges from the eyes or noso, tir fee drowsy, languid, or debilitated, that some disease is about to attack you.It may be chills and fever, typhoid fever, pneumonia, billions fever, influenza, diptheria,\u2014it may be small pox, erisipelas, or other mabgnant diseases ; if, however, Radway\u2019s Ready Relief is \u2019rceiy used as per directions, when you experi-ience these symptoms, you will in a few minut s, be relieved from all pains and disquietude, and the dis case completely vanquished.Let ttiis course

and greatly facilitate the cure.Price\u201426 ephts, 50 cepts, and &1.Q0 per bpttle.Sold by all Druggists.'

friend well informed op the subject of Ihe Aptive Force enables us somewhat to see through the mist created by the confused statements in the Parliamentary debate.The origin of the Active Force was in the report of a Committee appointed some years ago, of which Sir Allan McNab, Major Campbell and Col.de Rottenhurg were, if we reiqetpber right, the members.Under the |iill then passed the Active Force were divided into two classes, A.and B.The B.class, except some flank companies\u2014there were two in Montreal\u2014were not paid at all.The flank companies and the A.forces, were paid\u2014the men $10 each per annum ; the officers at a rate per diem for every day they served equivalent to that which officers of the same rank received ip the regiments of the Ijne, Subsequently the late Ministry, whoso members have of late been such extreme advocates for more troeps and more pay, reduced the numbers of the force authorized by the Act, reduced the pay per man from $10 to $6, and reduced the pay of the officers tq zero.They probably, as Mr.Rose says he does now, highly appreciate^ the services of tire volunteers j but if they did; their appreciation did not take the shape of gratitude as illustrated by an addition to (he consideration qr jhe pay awarded to the volunteers pt that tiçqe enrolled.Nor during the Tpept djfijctdty did they evince such an apprehension of wap, or if they apprehended war, such confidence in the volunteers as to lead them to put this patriotic force on a better j-r more cient footing.But now we find that though they themselves never paid the A.force more than $6 per annum, some of their number raise a discussion in the House of a confused character it is true ; but if it meant anything, meaning that the A.force were, entitjed to have $S for pay, and $6 for clflthing also, and tfiat they find beep treated shabbily because that had pot been given.The proposition of the Ministry in relation to pay is based upon the idea that the sums hitherto granted for the volunteers were only intended to purchase clothing, nml IVonld ip fact do nothing besides.The Ministry have further considered, we suppose, that they could purchase clothing for the whole volunteer force at a cheaper rate tbnn each company could purchase its own clothing.They, tnerefore, now undertake to çlothe the whole ffirpe, putting tfie A Ql^ss and thp B CRasson the same footing, in lieu of the money payment whiefi was regarded as the mere equivalent of clothing.Furthermore, the B Class have already had $6 for the last year and are to have $6 for the present year ; thus placing them for these periods upcm the sanie footing as the A Class.We are now informed tpere are objections to th(s proposition, at least for the future, inasmuch as it is said the word \u201c clothing\u201d does not really embrace all that is required under that term.It does not include hoots, caps, noj.mUte*13) itn(i on the whole we are informed that a part of the remuneration in money would be much more acceptable than in kind.We observe that the votes for the volunteers in England are something less than $5 per head,-say a little less than sferliflg.A friend, vyho, we suppose, must understand the wishes of the force, gays that $6, as before, would be quite satisfactory if paid, as we before remarked, partly in cash,\u2014say for example, clothing once in five years at per suit, or $2 per head, and Is.3d.per day for fifteen tfitys\u2019 $rjll.This certainly does nqt geem a very great concession, ajid we shall be glad to find that the Minister of Mint a thinks himself able to make it.It is certain that if there be any branch of the public expenditure where liberality afionld fake the place of economy, it is in thg jllowitnce to mep, wfio in any gasp wi}l receive nothing that can ho regarded as an equivalent pemunprqtion for their servieps.Thp great difficulty which the Government has, 40 doubt, arises from the vacillation of their predecessors in respect to the corps formed duriug the winter of 1861-2, when there seemed reason to apprehend an invasion.We thought at that time and sqid that if tfie men at the head of affairs ifi England and Gapada really p&rtgqk of tfiose fears or war, whiph were extensively propagated, especially by presses supposed to have the confidence of ;he Government of the day, that such persons deserved to be impeached for treason.Their apathy supposing that they had not a well grounded belief that the threatening danger vyould blovy over, was eri(mna?iQ fiighes j.degrpe ; and as we do not believe they were so guilty as they seemed, we have always doubted vyhpifier tfiey fiatl pat some assurance of safety not felt by their follow citizens.Taking eiiber view\u2014that they believed war probable, or that they believed there was little risk of it\u2014they ought to have adopted a decided course They ought either to have called for troops and announced the payi or other remuneration which they would recommend Parliament to give ; or they ought to have distinctly declined to sanction any organizations till Parliament had pronounced upon the subject.Instead of this they did their best to encourage the formation of rolun- City Mortality.\u2014There were 63 interments last week; 17 in the Protestant Cemetery, and 46 in the Roman Catholic Cemetery ; 11 men, 9 women, 23 male children, 19

as to the hypothec thereby created.These are a few of the provisions which, I am told, are embraced in the report.As I said it will be printed in a few days, and if you do not regard it ns too technical for the general leader, you will, of course, publish it.There is one subject, however, which the Committee have seen fit to discuss which seems to be exciting great interest among the good people of the Townships.You are aware that Mr.Cartier\u2019s system of decentralization was hurried up a good deal by the irresistible pressure of Eastern Township opinion, which took broad ground in favor of bringing justice to every man\u2019s door The Township doctrine was that there should be County Courts having an unlimited Civil and Criminal jurisdiction.Mr.Cartier\u2019s measure waa a compromise.He ordained that the Circuit Court should be held in the Counties, but he undertook to build up large centres, by grouping several Counties into Districts, for the jurisdiction of the Superior Court.Bear in mind that we have no inferior Judges to hold inferior Courts.The Judge of the- Superior Court Court presides ia both cases ; but (fie law as it now stands presumes that the Judge ^residing at the County Chef lieux is only competent to exercise jurisdiction over cases involving £jhi whilst to decide a suit involving £60 or upwards he must travel to the Districts Chef Lieu.The Township s protest against this system as absurd.They, have urged their views upon the Committee with such force that after\u2014it is understood\u2014much discussion the Report endorsed their pretension ; and recommends that in the Townshipffïistricts the County Courts should have anmnlimited Civil jurisdiction.The Townships members urged this concession as of great importance and a certain indication of the Speedy triumph of complete decentralization in their districts.They say that they are entitled to an exceptional system if the whole province does not see fit to adopt it,and they cite in proof the exceptional legislation for the Gaspe judiciary as well as their own exceptional position under the Municipal Act and other special legislation.Certainly their views are plausible, and I am disposed to think they are right.At any rate one thing is certain, that if true to themselves the Townships are a power in the State.CORRESPONDENCE.To the Editor of the Montreal

Mr.McGee respecting the Civil Service, and which was read a second time yesterday.This Act repeals the one of 1857, except as regards the examination of candidates, and provides that no appointment to any office in any of the public departments of the Civil Service in this Province, shall be made except with the approval of the Governor in Council ; nor shall any person be appointed to any such office unless after being examined and receiving a certificate from a.Boajd of examiners, in reportmg tfie result of these examinations mention is to be made by the Board of the particular branch in the Service (if any) for which the candidates have respectively in the opinion of the Examiners, shown any special aptitude.The certificates of qualification issued by the Board of Ex-aminera shall be of two classes, first and second, according to a standard of acquirements to be fixed by the regulations of the Board.This Act, which was fully explained by the Hon.President of the Council, in his usual able manner, and to which I think it is not likely there will be any serious opposition, will produce a very healthy reorganization of the civil service ef pro_ vince, the establishing^ 0f competitive examina-tions fitlng an indespensible preliminary, securing as they will the selection of capacity and intelligence combined.Another very noticeable feature is the rejection of seniority as a condition of advancement, and the application of the principle of promotion by merit.The effect of the system of départemental patronage has been to inspire the clerks in each office with a feeling of jealousy towards any one who is supposed to enjoy the especial favor of the chief of the department.But under the system merit will be recognized and the deserving officer will meet with that encouragementjhis services deserve.Where-ever the system of promotion by merit, and of removal for unfitness has been introduced, it has been attended with the best results, and we may anticipate a semilar improvement in the Civil Service of Canada.The uneasiness which has been occasioned by apprehended changes in the tariff, will doubtless be removed by the statements of the Hon.Minister of Finance made yesterday in reply to the Hon.John Rose.Tie changes to be made are to be confined to a very few articles, an^ will not have au important hearing on the trade of the country, neither is there to be any important change as far as the customs are concerned.On Thursday evening some excitement was occasioned in consequence of the speaker declining to order the Ayes and Nays to be taken when the motion for the adoption of the resolutions respecting the summoning of Parliament was put to the House, he deciding that the ayes had it, while Mr, Brown and others still called for the division.I understand that some discussion took place on this subject before the doors were opened yesterday, and that the Speaker was called tq account for his conduct.Mr.Rykert has now given notice of the following resolutions, which be proposes to move on Monday:\u20141st.That hereafter on every question of adjournment of the House or of the Debate ; tbe yeas and nays shall be taken down and duly entered in the journal, if demanded by five meni.hers, and 2nd., that the 84th ruje ftf tka House be amended in acporJanca with this resolulion.Several Bills were advanced a stage yesterday, aqd a number of private ones were some of them read à second time and others passed through Committee ; but as none of these call for special notiçe, I will p^ss qn to other subjects.4n important Committee has been quietly at work here enquiring into tl^e working of the laws concerning the judicature anff the administration of justice iq Lowçç Oapada The report vyas submitted fo the House on Wednesday', and Will probably be printed in a few itejs.It is understood that the Gomin\u2019.tlce, notwithstand ng Mr.Carter's Onslaught upon your Montreal meeting of the Bar, has paid a great d;al of attention to its recommendations.It Is undeniable that the legislation of the past few years has tended to disorganize the judicial machinery, and that amemdments of the law, and modifications of the system are imperatively called for.The united representations of the Montreal and Quebec Bar, as well as the intelligent public opinion of the country may he quoted in support of this view, and in justifisation of the course of the Hou.Mr.Drummond upon whose motion this Committee was appointed The Committee recommend, as to the Supe, rior and OirçuR Courts, whenever they qre keW at the same place, that the former shall take cognizance of all suits involving amounts larger than one hundred dollars.This provision as to the jurisdiction of tbe Circuit Court, not to apply to sitting in the cmnties.They adykie that any law requiring Sheriff or applicant, as the case may be, tq file Registrars\u2019 certificate in cases of sales and confirmation of title be repealed, as well as tbe law which renders unnecessary the filing of opposition ; but the lawyers give us a taste of their disinterestedness by declaring that the costs on any uon-OQutest-.ed opposition, should not exceed ten dollars, and they would permit opposition to be filed at any lime within eight days of the sale, with the con-Sint of the Judge.They recommend that in Quebec and Montreal the Qircult Court shall be held in Sessions with three Judges, two of whom should form a quorum.The enormous expenses of appeals to the Queen\u2019s Bench oomo in for a share of attention, and an intermediate appeal is recommended.As following the suggestions of the Montreal Bar, a machinery is indicated for the prevention of fraudulent proceedings.Afoer the institution of proceedings, a plaintiff, upon affidavit similar in manner and form to that required for a saisie arret, avant jugmint, may obtain an order from the Judge or Prqtho- berations of the Commissi-, not as an intriid-obtain»'5 ¦ To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Gentlemen,\u2014In your parliamentary correspondence of this morning 1 have read the following article : \u201c QUESTION PUT TO THE MINISTRY.\u201d (< Yesterday Mr.Morin asked the Government 11 whether it was true or not that the Commis-\u201c sion of Inquiry respecting the Peace Office at \u201c Montreal had received instructions to admit \u201c reporters of the Press to the sittings in order 11 to give publicity to its proceedings before the i* Government itself had been informed of the ,\u2018 same, and further whether it was true or not \u201c that a lawyer of the city of Montreal haü re-\u201c ceived orders or had been authorized, and by \u201c whom to appear before that Commission and 11 for what purpose.\u2019 \u201c Mr.Sicotte replied that no instructions what-\u201c ever had been given to the Commissioners to admit reporters of the Press to their sittings, \u2019\u2022 and that no lawyer had been authorized to ap-\u201cpear before that Commission.\u201d As I have every reason to believe that the lawyer mentioned by Mr.Morin is myself, and that consequently, I might by my presence, disturb the sittings and deliberations of the gentlemen appointed upon tfie Commission of Inquiry respecting the Peace Office, I request you to publish the following remarks iu explanation of my conduct, I have, indeed, attended the sitti-gg and cjeli_ 'foners referred to, but Ltr, for it was only after I had lull and entire leave from these gentlemen that I attended the sittings and délibéra, tions aforesaid.I have gone there, and will return there again, not for the purpose of gathering information either for the press or the public, but simply for the purpose of advancing myself in the profession to which I belong, aud further more, to verify (for my own personal satisfaction) whether the accusations uttered against Messrs.Del-isli, Brehaut, and Schiller, are just aud well founded or not.I do not believe that in this instance my conduct is either in the least way reprehensible or of a nature to alarm Mr.Morin or any other person as regards the proceedings or consequences of this inquiry.But let us even suppose that the public did attend the sittings and deliberations aforesaid, would there be anything in that but justice and equity.Is it not very evident and just that he who believes that he has been duped or deceived by those in whom he has placed the utmost confidence, has a right to know the means which have been resorted to for his detriment.And even those who are under the law of like accnsations should\u2019nt they do everything in their power to have the public present to witness the triumph of their innocence ?It appears to me that these questions do not demand any deeply studied answer but speak sufficiently for themselves.I consider all those measures which have been adopted since a few days in order to throw obstacles in the way of an enquiry, the motive and object of which are after all, of the most laudi-ble and honest kind, as very illusory.I do not as I have already stated, attend the inquiry at the Peace Office, for the purpose of informing the public of what takes place there, but I must say in all justice to that public, that it is very honorably represented in the persons of Messrs.LaFrenaye and Doherty, and shall receive at their hands a faithful and impartial statement of the enquiry they are conducting at the present moment.Yonr most devoted, OHS.Vr.PERRAULT.Montreal, April 21, 1863.Provincial Parliament.LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.(Abridged from the Quebec Chronicle.') Quebec, April 24tb, 1863.The SPEAKER took the Chair at three o\u2019clock.COMMERCIAL POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.Hon.Mr.ROS Ï He wished to ask the Finance Minister an important question relative to the trade of the country ; but unfortunately he did not see that hon.gentleman in his place.He would state to the House, however, that at present the trade of the country was completely paralysed.Merchants and importers could not send their orders for the spring business on account of the anticipation of a new tariff, which would affect the duties on goods.On ihe 9th of March last he had asked tbe Finance Minister at what time the commercial policy would be known ; and that hon.gentleman had stated that as soon as the Government had decid-d on their 00m meroial policy they would give the necessary information.This (information he thought the Finance Minister would have made his financial statement last Tuesday or to-day, Mercantile men dared not enter into any business transactions, wating for the new traiff.Ships already coming here may find themselves discriminated agaiust in a way that would ruin importers.Twenty-four hours might make a material indifference in the arrival of ships here.He thought that before the opening of navigation the Government would have fixed the tariff, hut this was manifestly impossible now, and the probabilities were that ihe House would be called on to hurry through the tariff in order to save the revenue It wag known that even now there were ships in the St Lawerence that would claim exemption from the tariff whatever it might ,ba.While other ships on their way here would have to submit to a great loss.To show what this loss was likely to be he would give the instance of a ship laden with coff e, which arrived here last year.The difference madi by the then new tariff on her cargo amounted tj no less than $10,900.He regretted extremely ihat the Government should have so managed matters as to be obliged to make alternations in the tariff at this the busiest season of the year.Hon.Mr.HOWLAND said bethought the hon.gentleman lab-red under some misappre- hension, when he stated that he (Mr.Howland) had promised a fixed time, on the 9th of March last, with regard to the ^financial policy of the Government.Hon.Mr.ROSE begged to remind tbe Hon.Finance Minister that he had promised, in reply to his Mr.Rose\u2019s question that the commercial policy would be made known as soon as the Government had matured their course.The hon.gentleman then quoted from the newsraper reports to shew that, on the 9th ult, the Hon.Finance Minister had made the alleged promise in the most distinct and possitive manner.Hon.Mr.HOWLAND Be did not think that the Government of which the hon.gentleman from Montreal was a member had announced the proposed changes in their policy {earlier than was now about to be done.With respect 11 the uneasy feelings of which the hon.gentleman had spoken, he thought the hon.gentleman had, to a great extent, caused it h\u2019mself.He1 though; how-ever,\"that be was justified in saying that 'he change so farjas the Customs tariff was concerned, would be very slight.Hon.Mr.BRuWN\u2014There will be no reduction at any rate.(Laughter.) Hon.Mr.HOWLAND went on to remark that he had informed tbe House, in reply to a question by the hon.member for Sherbrooke, that the financial statement would be introduced on Tuesday next.Mr.POWELL wished to say that the Hon.Finance Minister was mis'aken as to a question of fact He had said the Finance Minister of the Government of which the hon gentleman from Montreal was a member did not bring down the measures earlier than the don.gentlemen now in power.Now, on reference to the Journals of the House for the last four years, he found that, in 1859, the budget was introduced one month and thirteen days after the meeting of the House ; in H60, one month and eighteen days after; in 1861, one month and seven days after, and in 1862 one month and twenty-seven days after__ giving an average for the four years he had named of one month and sixteen days after the meeting of the Legislature.The House had been in ses-sion, this year, two months and twelve days, and the budget was not yet brought down.Mr.BUCHANAN thought the answer of the Finance Minister was all that we c uld expect.The hon.gentleman then went on to say that it was of extreme importance that information should be given as early as possible in such matters.For instance, many vessels with cargoes of sugar, tea and coffee, came to Halifax, for orders, and out of the number probably one-third or one half would be sent round to New York if the tariff were much increased.(Hear, hear.) It would be a great boon to the country to know that no weighty increase was to be made ; it would send at least one-third more vessels to the St.Lawrence Speaking of the likelihood of merchants taking goods out of bond, if there was any fear of a rise in the tariff', he remarked that taking goods out of bond in this manner would have an injurious effect, as it would change the character of the goods.Mr.McDOUGALL remarked that the budget, last year, had been opened on the 16th May, so that the Hon.Finance Minister was at any rate considerably earlier this year than last.Hon.Mr.ROSE was glad to hear the reply which had been made by the Hon.Finance Minister, as he believed it would tend to allay apprehension ; but he held that the hon.gentleman was not justified in saying that he (Mr.Rose) had caused that apprehension.He had in his possession a very large number of letters from persons who felt exceedingly anxious that the policy of the Government should be made known within the least possible delay, in order to enable them to know how they should manage their affairs.Last year he (Mr.Rose) had called upon the Government of the day to make known the intended changes; and he had complained of the lateness in bringing down the tariff.He did not care what Government was in or which Government was out ; but he certainly thought this was not the time of^year at which changes in the tariff should be made.They should be made at mid-summer or at mid-winter ; and not now, when the season\u2019s business was just about to commence.Hon.J.S.MACDONALD was of opinion that there should be a change in the time at which ihe new tariff should come into effect.The hon.gentleman then went on to say that in England the customs under the new tariff were levied as soon as the resolutions were introduced.Under the system which now prevailed here, there was a very large amount lost to the revenue by the quantity of goods brotigh*.in after the tariff was first introduced and the passing of the bill.Hon.J.A.MaCDONALD said that in England the new tariff was only enforced when the resolutions had been adopted by the House.Hon J.S.MACDONALD\u2014Adopted/iro for* ma.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD-No, no.Hon.J.S.MACDONALD urged the necessity of the change to which he bad alluded, and commented upon the increase whieh would accrue to the revenue.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD said that his hon.friend was mistaken as to the practice in England.When the House confirmed the resolutions in a formal manner, after discussion, the duties were levied as if the bill had passed.The discussion to k place upon the resolutions, after Which they were confirmed.It would, of course, be a breacb of faith if the House then threw out the bill when it came up.Hon.J.S.MACDONALD had certainly understood that the tariff took effect after the adoption of the resolutions pro/omit, Hon J.A.MaCDuNALD explained that the result of this would be that if the House threw the bill, me pmaviiD vrLtu ImU p«ta UiaUcb uaUcr the new tariff should have recourse to au action, for their remedy.Hon.Mr.BROWN said that the grea/t point was to bring down a good budget.If it was good he thought the delay would be pardonable.T!is bill was then road a second time.REMEDIES AGAINST PARTNERS.Hon.Mr.ABBOTT moved the second reading of the bill to amend chapter 65 of the Consolidated Statutes for Lower Canada, and to facilitate remedies against partners and others trad = ing under designations other than their own names.Hon.Mr.ROSE thought there were many objections to the bill.Among other things it imposed upon the trading community of Upper Canada very many disadvantages, by requiring a registration of dissolution of partnership 10 ha tiled in every county in Upper Canada.The certificate of dissolution would have to be signed by all the members of the firm, no matter in what part of the world they might be.Another objection was that such a person as a forwarder wi.uld become a member of the firm he had forwarded for, and under the bill he would be Table to a penalty of £50, unless his name was registered with the other members of the firm.Hon.Mr.ABBOTT thought Mr.Rose had taken the law of Upper Canada under his protection on this occasion.The hilt under discussion was a transcript ot the present law of Lower Canada, and its object was to extend it to Upper Canada.It was strange, therefore, that his hon friend had never fo .nd out these objections before.Hon.Mr.ROSE contended that the Solicitor-General had not named his bill aright.Hon.Mr.ABBOTT maintained that Mr.Rose had acted on the law as it was for the last fourteen years without finding fault with with it until now.He wished to draw attention to the fact that his bill also proposed to amend the law with regard to married women traders, by enabling the public to see, by means of the\" proposed registration, to whom credit was given_- the woman or her husband.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD thought the Hon.Solicitor-General East might have waited until some one asked for a change in the law of Upper Canada, before attempting to amend it.Hon Mr.ABBOTT said the change had been asked for.But if it was not, he did not know any reason why any member, no matter from what section of the Province, might not bring in a bill to affect either Upper or Lower Canada.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD\u2014Oh, this is only another way you have for making out the Double Majority.As to the merits of the bill, he thought it very objectionable, since it would compel all partnership, no matter how insignificant, and no matter how often it was changed, to be registered, and for what reason ?Merely in order to guard against an inconvenience that very rarely o curred Hon.J.S MACDONALD did not understand the objection to the hill.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD\u2014What will yoti do wi h the pedler ?Must he go registering his certificate all a\u2019ong in every county.Hon J.S MACDONALD pointed out the evils of the prese t system, and the advant ges of the bill under discussion, with regard to the registering of partnership.Mr.CRAWFORD thought the measure might be made very useful, and might be applied to Upper Canada.He recommended that it be referred to a Select Committee Mr.BUCHANAN objected to the bill on the ground that it would require the registration of a forwarder as a partner.The bill was then read a fécond time.JUDGES, (U C.) On the question being put for receiving tho report of the Committee ot the Whole, in reference to the Judges for Upper Canada.Hon.Mr.CARTIER opposed the system of pensioning J udges after the proposed period of service, inasmuch as many were appointed young.Moreover, it had been understood that the resolutions r.lative to the pensions of the Lower Canadian Judges should come up at the same time ; and he therefore thought the understanding should be carried, and the matter' deferred.Hon.Mr.SICUTTE was unlerstoodto say that there would be plenty of time tor discussing the matter when the Dill came up.Mr.LANGÈVIN reminded the Attorney-General East that it had been agreed that the resolutions relating to the Judges of Upper aud Lower Canada should be taken into consideration together.Mr.DUNKiN took the same objection.Hon.Mr.SICUTTE said the resolutions had been advanc- d a stage in order to place them on the same footing as tbe resolutions on the Lower Canadian Judges.He did not, however, see how the disenssien on the two measures could go on at once Hon.J.S.MACDONALD had no objection to let the resolutions stand over.A printer, in setting up \u201c We are but parts of a stuptudous whole,\" by mistake of a letter made it read, \u201c We are but parts of a stupendous whale.\u201d D0D ftiOiSTKEAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE;
