Yet thousands of children and adults die every year through neglect of parents to attend to the carly symptoms of bile and foul stomach.Superfluity of bile may always be known hy some unfavorable symptom which it produces, such as sick stomach, headache, loss of appetite, bitter taste of the mouth, yellow tint of the skin, languidness, enstive- ness, or other symptoms of a similar nature.Almost every person at this season of the year is hilious, the neglect of which is sure to bring on some dangerous disorder, frequently terminating in death, A single 25 cent box of Dr.Halsay's Gum-coated Forest Pills are sufficient to kcep a whole family from bilious attacks and sickness from six monthsto a year.A single dose, from 1 to 3 of these mild and \u2018excellent Pills for a child ; from 3 to 4 for an adult ; and from 5 to G for a grown person, carryof all bilions and morbid matter, and restore the stomach and bowels, curing and preventing all manner of bilisus attacks and many other disorders.Salts and Castor Gil, No reliance can be placed upon Salts or Castor Oil.These as well as all common pu-gatives, pass off without touching the bile, leaving the bowels costive and the stomach in as bud condition as before.Dr.Halsey's Forest l\u2019ills act on the gaul ducts and earry all morbid bilious matter from the stomach and bowels, leaving the system strong and buoyant, mind clear, producing permanent good health.Dr, Halsey's Forest Pills are unlike all others.They act directly on these vital organs of the Stomach, Liver, Kidoeys, &e., which secrete the fluids of the body and separate the impurities from the blood.While they purge all bilious and morbid matter from the stomach and bowels, they cleanse and venew the blood, thereby destroy the seeds of disease.The Forest Pills do not weaken, hut give strength and animation to both body and wind.They neither cause griping nor any inconvenience whatever, and the patient is better able to attend to business winle under their infinence than before taking them.They are mild in operation, yet powerful in restoring health.The greatamount of good these Pills have done for the sick and afficted have iuduced thousands to commend them to their friends and the publie.Individuals of worth and integrity in almost every part of the country have testified to the world in fuvour of their great effects in curing disease.Br, Bialsey\u2019s Genuine Forest Pills are coated with pare Guam Arabic, An article which in every respect sapersedes Su gar, hoth on account of its healing virtues and its durability.Tlie discovery of this improvement is the result of a succession of experiments during three years.For the invention of Ahich Dr.Halsey has been awarded the only patent ever granted on Pills by the Goverment of the United States of America.The Gum-Coated l'orest Pills present a heautifnl transparent glossy appearance.The well known wholesome qualities of pure Gum Arabic with which they are coated renders them still better than Dr.{Talsey's celebrated Sngar-Cuated Pills The Gum- Conted Pills are never liable to injury from dampness, but remain the same, retaining all their virtues to an indefinite period of time, and are perfectly freo from the disagreeable and nauseating taste of Medicine.In order to avoid all impositionsand to obtain Dr.Halsey\u2019s true and genuine Pills, sco that the label of cach box bears the signature of G W HALSEY, Reader!!! 1 yon wish to be sure of a mediviae which docs not contain that Parking poison, Calomel or Moreurr, purchase ITALSEY'S GUM-COAT.RD FOREST PILES, and avoid all others.If you desire a mild and gentle purgative, which neither nauseates or gives rise to griping, seck for HALSEY'S PILLS.If you would have the most concentrated as well as the best compound Sarsaparilla Frtract in the world for purifying the blood, obtain Dr.HALSEY'S PILLS.Tt you do not wish to fall a victiin to dangerous illness, and be subjected to a Physician's bill of 20 or 50 dollars, take a dose of Dr.IIALSEY'S PILLS as saon as unfavourable symptoms are experienced.If you wonld have a Medicine which does not leave tho bowels costive, but gives strangth instead of weakness, procure HALSEY'S PILLS, and avoid Salts and Castor Oil and all common purgatives.| Parents, if you wish your funilies to continue in good health, keep a box of HALSEY'S PILLS in your house.Ladies, Dr.HwLSEY & PILLS nre mild_nnd perfectly harmless, and well adapted to the peculiar delicacy of your coustitutions.Proenre them.Travellers and Mariners before undertaking long voyages, provide yourself with Dr.LIALSEY'S PILLS, as a safeguard against sickness.AasxTs For Quenkc.\u2014J.MUSSON, JOSEPH BOWLES, and G.G.ARDOUIN, Apothecaries.W.LYMAN & Co., Agents for Montreal.J.KEENAN, Agent for Thres Rivers.Quebee, 37th June, 1852.Just Reccived and for Sale by the Subseriber, FEW COPIES HYMNS, for the use of WESLEYAN METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS, \u2014Prico 10d.each.R.MIDDLETON.Ya NOTICE.: dates 5e = Lal peraons hifiving claîms onthe!Tstate of ;

but to ask England to impose the same duty upon foreign agricultural productions, that foreign countries imposed upon those of Britain or her colonies, That was nothing more than an act of justice, Mr.Hincks contended at some length that the motion was absurd, und read from a epeech of Sir Robert Peel in support of his argument.England would not now consent to adopt any such measure, and there was no use in esking her.Mr, Merritt withdrew his motion, The following bills were read a first time :\u2014 Me.Brown\u2014tn modify the Usury Laws now in foret in this Province, Mr.Wright, (West Riding of Fork)\u2014to alter and amend the Lsury Laws ofthis l\u2019rovince.Mr.Brown moved an address to His Excellency, for copies of any correspondence between the Government and the anthorities of Trinity Jolege, Toronto, in regard to a Royal Charter far the said College.\u2014Carried.The following bills were read a first time :\u2014 Mr, Boulton\u2014 to repeal the Act ollnst Session, authorizing the employment of Military Pensioners and otliers, ne a Lozal Police Force.Mr, Boullon\u2014to secure to Mechanics and others, a lien on buildings erected by them in the Cities of UJ.C.Mr.Boulton \u2014to prohibit the payment to Mechanics, &c., in the Cities of U, C., of wages in goods, or by way of truck.Mr.Sicutte\u2014to prevent the deterioration of Lands and hereditaments, charged with hy- pothecs, &e.Mr.Chabot moved an address to His Kxcel- lency, fora list relative to the persons employed by the Crown Lands Office.The list to contain the names of the persons employed within and withont the office.Their ages, professions, emoluments, and some other particulars we could not hear.Motion granted.Mr.Rolph stated, ns we understood, in answer to Mr.Chabot, that it is not the intention of the Ministry forthwith to appoint an Assistant Commissioner of\u2019 Crown Lands, or to make a change in the organization of the Office of Crown Lande.Mr.Chabut moved an address to His Excellency for a list relative tothe Inspectors of Elementary Schools in Tower Canada.tr.Drummond stated in answer to Mr.Cau- chon that it ia the intention of the Government to introduce a measure to give effect to the manifest intention of the Statute 8 Viet., ch.77, and thereby provide for the liquidation of the debts and obligations of the former Councils of the Municipal Districts of Lower Canada.Mr.Hincks introduced a bill intituled, ¢ An Act for avoiding doubts which might otherwise arise from the Act making alterations in the \u2018l'evritorial divisions of Upper Canada, having tome into effect since the last gencral election.\u201d Mr, Hincks stated, in nnswer to Mr, Boulton, :that-it is the intention of the, ministry to insti- tuté «À enquiry into the mauagement of the \u2018Lunatic Asylum at\u2019 Toronto, and to bring in Jie bill this wesxion to secure the better manage «ment of this Institation, Mr.: Gamble introduced a bill to amend the act authorizing the formation of Joint Stock Companies in U, C.Mr.Morin brought down & message from the Governor General with despatches on the Clergy Reserves, the Negociatione, and the Curren- sy.On motion of Mr, Iincks, 500 copies were ordered to be printed.Mr.Taché's bill to declare tho intention of the Law organizing tho Notarial profession, with respect to the atudy of that profession, _ Mr.Rose enquired of the mimstry whether it is their intention, during the present Session, to take such steps as may by thom bo thought requisite to procure the repeal of that part of the Imperial Statute which requires a property qualification for members of the Legislative Assembly.Mr.Hiocks ssid there was no objection on the part of the ministry to remove the property qualification of members of parlinment; but they objected to making an isolated appeal of that natnre, and did not intend to do ro during the present session, especially in view of the applications which they intended to make.Mr.Christie (Gaspé) inquired of the ministry whether they intend to introduce, during the course of this Session, any Bill to alter the present oppressive Jury Jaws of Lower Canada.Mr, Drummond said that the evils were owing to the present system of centralization, and could not be reformed except by a reform of the whole system of judicature, which the government had under consideration, Mr, Hincks stated, in answer to Mr.Me- Kenzie, that the Government did not iutend to propose, by nddress to I[er Majesty, or otherwise, any amendments to the Imperial Statute of 4th Viet, commonly called the Union Act.Mr.MeKenzie introduced a bill fur the election of Sherif's of Counties by the Freeholders, Mr.Christie (Gaspé) moved for a Select Comuiittee to inquire and report upon tho state of the Fisheries carried on in the Gulf of St.Lawrence and on the Labrador Coast by the inhabitants of this Province.The hon.member made some remarks setting forth the.importance of his motion.After some cunversa- tion, the motion was carried.Andon motion of Mr.Tache another committee to inquire into the State of Agriculture in Canada East was also apppointed ; but not till after Mr.Hincke had protested against these Committees, being looked upon as haviag duties similar to those which sat io Washingion, There it was consistent with the republican form of government that all measures would emanate from the committees, because all legislation commenced in the Legislature and the committees of the time being, Here it was quite different, where Jegislation emanated from a ministry responsible for its acts.Mr.Brown then moved for an Address to His Excellency, for a copy or copies of any agreement or agreements enlered inte by the Quebec and Richmond Railway Company with William Jackson, Esquire, M.P., and others, for the completion of the said Railway ; for © copy of any correspondence between the Government of tbis Province and the said William Jackson, sq.or others, in regard to the Trunk Railroad through this Province, He said thet Mr, Hincks had formerly chosen to laugh at the iden of his having made a bargain with Mr, Jackson, and had offered to give correspondence.Bul since then, Mr, Jackson had published an official letter in which he stated that he had an arrangement with Mr.Hincks end that be had come to this country only to carry this arrangement out, It was therefore not wonderful that the public should have supposed there was an arrangement, when Mr, Jackson thought so too.The motion was granted, Thebillioremedyinconveniencesarising from the destruction ot registers for St.Louis de Lothiniere was read a second time, \u2018The bill to amend the acts incorporating the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad Company was read a second time on motion of the hon, Mr.Young ; Also the bill to increase the Stock of the Bank of Montreal, &c,, on motion of the hon, Juno, Young.Also a bill to supply an omission in the act of 1850, on motiion of Mr.Stevenson.Dr, Laterriere moved the second reading of the bill to amend the medical uct of last session, Mr.Robinson hoped the measure would he postponed for a short time, as he knew thal some gentlemen desired to speak upon it.Dr.Latertiere could not understand why the members from Upper Canada, who were so jealous of interference from Lower Canada, should interfere with this bill, confined wholly to Lower Canada.Mn, RoBINson said it concerned Upper Canada, because it would prevent an Upper Canadian from practising in Lower Canada without 8 new examination.Dr.Valois thonght il was not so, It was only intended to prevent persons who had not been examined and licensed in either part of the Province without a new examination, Mz.MeDaonald, of Cornwall, said be regrel- ted to perceive a desire on the part of the hon, member for Saguenay to hurry his measure through the House.He hoped that the matter would be postponed so us to enable parties to obtain such information as would throw light on the subject.The bill which the hon.member wished to introduce, did not contain many words, but il it became a law, its effects would be pernicious lo a respactable institution now ia operation, and in which all the branches connected with medical science are taught in the most perfect manner ; and il appeared to him (Mr, Macdonald) thet the hon.gentlemen who wished to hurry this bill torough, do so with a view to injure the McGill College, Dr.Fortier did not see why the McGill Col - lege should continue to retain the advantages which it possessed over other schools, of why professo:s should go on examining their own pupils with the inducgment lo pass them, which arose from a desire to say they bad turned out so many surkeofis.He desired rather to protect the young wen of the country against foreign competition, Mr.Richards desired delay, thinking that the bill would deprive some genflemen now having the right to practice of that right.Mr.Chauvean also desired delaÿ,on the ground, as we understood, that the Courts hud decided that no law could prevent persons: holding British licenses to practice, {rom practising in this Province.Some lurther conversation took place, during which Mr.McKenzie contended, that the principle of this bill, if adopted, would bch be applied to Upper Can- add, and (Ht a malter of this kind could not be properly applied.to one section of the\u2019 Province, but ought to be made general.But there was a great principle involved in this matter, and that was, whether lhe Province should sustain colleges for all doctors ana give all a like chance, For hia own patt he detested this nattow minded attempt to exclnae old countty- men from the Province, and he did not believe the hon.member could find many instances of old country ignorance, which could force bim to'come forward.to protect the public health against them, especially when they had already 10 pass.an examination al MeGill College\u2014a iCollsge recognized by the Legislature of the Province, Eventually, the bill was read a se cond time, and referred to a select commillee.The House then adjourned.[Vou.90.WEDNESDAY, Sept.1, 1852.Complaints were made by Messrs, Brown and Langton of irregularities in the Quebec Post Office, in consequence of which their lot- tera had been irregularly tranemitted, Mr.MOKENZIE moved for leave to bring in a bill for taking and recording the votes of members of the Legislature on the final passing of bills, He considered such a check upon the votes of members necessary, and as a check upon midnight legislation.Sir ALLAN McNAB said that any two mem= bers, by a rule of the House, might call for the yeas and nays upon any mensure.A conversational discussion arose, in which Mr.McKenzie alleged that the Trust and Loan Company bill was passed at midnight, when there was a quoram, or hardly a quorum, in the house.Mr.McDonald of Kingston said, in answer, that the hou, gentleman had net only stated what was untrue, but what lie knew to be untrue, us the circumstances of the passing of that bill had been explained to him in the last parlimmeut.So far from being passed at midnight, it was pussed at » morning session, when the Houso was fully and upwards of forty different subjects were taken up afterwards, ae the hon.member proved by reading a list from the minutes, Motion granted.Mr, MERRITT moved an address to ler Majesty on the distribution of Medals to the survivors who served in the last War with the United States, The motion was luid on the table, with the understanding that it should be referred to a Cominittee, 2001 Mr.BOULTON put the following questions to the Ministry :\u2014 Firstly,\u2014Whether they are prepared to aub- mit to, or intend laying before the Louse, at an early day, n detailed statement, shewing what retrenchment they consider can be effeet- ed in the provincial expenditure, without im-~ pairing the efficiency of the public service, Secondly, \u2014 Whether the Government intends submitting to this House any scheme or measure to prevent in future any expenditure with=- out the sanction of the Legislature, by providing that no warrnnt shall be signed, issued, or addressed to the Receiver General, or any other publie fanetionary, for the payment of any sum of money whatever, out of the public revenue of this Province, unlers the amount and purpose of such payment shall have previously been authorized by Legislativo ennetment, to be named and expressed in the body of each Warrant ns the authority fortissuing the anme ;

and he believed that Congress had appropriated a quantity of public lands to sid in the construction of the work, If they did build a canal on their own side, he did not see that it would be necessary to build one on the British side, as two canals could not be expected to pay ; and he dis not say in that case that the Gosernment would not be willing to give a charter.to a company with proper restrictions.Mr.Papineau showed the great importance of the work, and contended that the report alluded to by Mr.Hincks should be laid before the House, Mr.Brown said, as he understood, the American Congress had appropriated 500,000 acres for building this canal, but he did not think it would be gone on with immediately.He differed from the government, aud thought the matter detnanded immediate attention.He believed if the Canadian canal was constructed the American one would not ; and he thought that if we struck in now, we might prevent the American canal from being built, He dilated on the immense importance of the canal, in view of the immense country on the north of Lake Superior, wbich must soon become thiek- ly settled.Mr.Merritt contended in favor of a canal to connect Lake Champlain to the St.Lawrence.With such a canal flour might be carried to New York cheaper than by the Erie Canal, and Canada, in consequence, would gain an immense revenue from tolls, Motion earried.Two or three measures were postponed after some conversation.Mr.Cauchon moved the second reading of the bill to amend the act incorporating the Bar of Lower Canada, Some conversation took place un this motion, which ended in the bill being read a second tine aud referred to a special committee, and that 1t be an instruction to the said committee to extend the provisions of the bill to another act making provision for the reporting of judicial proceedings in Lower Cunads.The House then adjourned.Tuur par, Sept.2.After the transaction of soine routine husi- ness, Col, Prince introduced a bill 10 prevent the Ecclesiastics of every religions denomination from voting, or in \u2018any way interfering in the elections of members of Parliament.Mr.Boulton inquired of the Ministry\u2019 whether they intended contributing aid out of the public revenue for Lhe suport of sectarian Institutions of learning, or for those of a benevolent character ?Mr.Hincks replied, you will sce when the estimates come down, Mr.Badgley introduced a bill to remove dounts regarding the liability of Foreign Executors and Administiators to sue and be sued in Lower Canada.A bill of Mr.Laurin to remedy inconvenience arising from the destruction of R-gisters for St.Louis de Lothbiniére was read a third time, The House adopted the report of the committee on printing.On motion of Mr, Young the hill to empower the Montreal and New York Raifway Company to extend their railroad was read a second time, The House then adjourned.The following are the naines of (be gentlemen appointed by the Spesker to be a committee fm thie trial of contested elections : \u2014 Messrs.Chabot, McDonald of Kingston, Christie of Wentworth, Ridout, Polette, and Sanborn.First Report of the Standing Committee on Miscellaneous Private Bills.By the Rules adopted by Your Honourable Honse during tbe last Parliament, in reference to Private Bills, it is required that all Private Bills shall be printed at the expense of the parties interested therein, by the Contractor of the Sessional Printing of the House, but no provision is made for securing to him (he payment of his account for the same ;

but before going far, the report was contradicted, and the companies returned to the Esplanade in no very enviable humour, we should suppose, at having been started by a false alarm.The man who gave the alarm was arrested, but was afterwards released, as it was found that the report liad not been given without foundation, the house really having been on fire, but the neighbours had succeeded in extinguishing the flames before any great injury was done.The scene on the Esplanade was most picturesque.Just at the base of the hill the fire companies were arranged with their engines, banners, &ec., gaily attired in their proper uniforms, and the Voltigeurs especially presenting a most formidable & dragoon-like appearance, with their helmets and plumes; and on the hill were hundreds of persons of both sexes, who had gathered together to witness the review.After having tried their engines, cach company cheering their own performances, they again formed in procession and paraded some of the principal streets.Our firemen are really a fine-looking set of men, and it is only a pity that their efforts to save the property of the citizens are so often frustrated by the criminal carelessness of the Corporation, in allowing their own by-laws to be violated in the erection of wooden buildings.We have frequently drawn the attention of the proper authorities to the absurdity of passing by-laws, especially by-laws of such infinite importance to the well-being and safety of the community and then allowing them to be viola\u2018ed, and also have pointed out buildings in course of erection in populons parts of the city, entirely of inflammable material; but it appears that the Corporation have not time to attend to such watters.In this morning's Chronicle a correspondent calls the attention of the cditor to a building just erected in \"aul Street witha wooden chimney.This is really too bad.If an extensive fire were to occur, and in all human probability suchafire must occur, if meansare not taken to prevent it, how could we look for sympathy from our neighbours, whenit is clearly shewn that the fire resulted from our own criminal carelessness; when it is scen that past calamities have failed to teach their legitimate lesson, and that we have, with eyes wide open to the dangers which surround us, actually courted a roturn of the miseries of 1845?Let our Corporation sce to it, and that without delay, that the Inspector bo furnished with a pair of good spectacles, if his eyesight is bad, in order that he may s:e the match boxes which are being erected all over our city.We trust that we shall not be compelled to return to this subject again, though we promise our readers that we will keep them advised of any further violations of the by-law against tho erection of wooden buildings within tho limits of the city that may come under our notice, in ordes that they may know the kind of men they have to watch over the interests of the city.HormicurTurac Sociery.~We are glad to be able to state, that in conformity with the buggestion ofour correspondent \u201cllora,\u201d whèse commiifileantion appedtëd in our last issue, thé Committee of arrangements for the approaching Horticultural Exhibition, have determined upon opening the exhibition to atrangers on the first day.We have little doubt but that this exhibition will torn out most creditable to the society, as well hs most interesting to the citizens generally.The gtidèn of tlie\u2019 gentlemen of \u2018the démi- nary ig in itsell.an inducement for strangers | to attend the exhibition, and we are de- lighted to find that the committee of ar.Weel RP Tangements have obtained the use of it.;

S.G+ Lynn, Esq., crockery store; and Mr, Leeks, candle und soap manufactory.The Leader office was in a precarious condition for some time, but by unceasing exertions, the flames were arrested from connecting with it.The tire commenced about ten o'clock in the evening, and was not entirely subdued uwtil 2 or 8 o\u2019clock in the morning.It is said to have originated in some of the out-buildings of Mr.Douglas's Store on King street, and no sooner had the fire been discovered than the whole block appeared as a sheet of devastating flame, The fire cogines worked well, and had plenty of water, but the season being so dry, and the buildings which were compactly built together, principally frame houses, there was no possibility of subduing it.Some accidents happened at the fire, but none of a fatal character, The assessed annual value of the property destroyed amounts to nearly £500.Mr.Lynn's loss will be covered by insurance, but there are several others who have no insurance, Upon the whole, 1 think the fire will do more good than harm to the city, for with the exception of the buildings on King street, the most of them were of a very ordinary description.A few days ago a petition was circulated for subscription, to present to Parliament, against the return of Wm.H, Boulton as a member for the City of Toronto, 1 have understood since that it has heen transmitted to Parliament, and was respectably signed.There 18 an exception laken to his qualification on the ground that he had but a few days previous to his election, declared upon oath that he was not worth £5.1f Mr.Boulton is unseated, there will be a new election, but Henry Sherwood cannot be returned, Jt is not improbable that Mr.Gowan, the Editor of the Patriot, would be brought out as a candidate for the Orange interest, and by that interest elected, for hitherto it has ruled everything in this city, The gooil people of Quebec will doubtless remember Dr.Dill, who tormerly resided there and who is now in penitentiary for a criminal offence of a heinous character, A few years ago, in the neighbourhood of Dundas, where the Dr.then resided, an excitement prevailed in consequence of the sudden and mysterious disappearance of a man named Thompson.Thompson was intimate with Dr.Dill, and was supposed to have been murdered by the Doctor.Recently Thompson made his appearance in the neighbourhood again, to the gieat astonishment of the inhabitants, who had conceived him to be among the dead for these several years past, sflera continuous absence, since his sudden disappearance in some part of the States, A meeting of merchants and traders was held in the City Hall a few days ago, to take into consideration the necessity of pelitioning Parliament for an amendment of the Assessment Law, A memorial was adopted, praying that the scts ol 1850 and 1851 be amended, and that the annual produce of capital, skill or labor, or of some or all of them combined, shall be taken as the basis of taxation on personal property, and that any person assessed on income derived from any office, or any trade or profession, shall be assessed in the municipality in which such office is held, or such (rade exercised.The yecung man who does the « needful\u201d for the Patriot and United Empire at Quebec, during the session, is becoming quite frantic in editorial imagery, upon the dangerous tendencies of such men as Rolph and Cameron.Poor fellow ! his senses have been quite unstrung since Blackwood gave his ravings about pro lection the go- bye, and the profession of the law refused to give him a niggardly support in consequence of his inveterate self-conceitl and pomposity.One thinks of a fly buzzing upon an elephant\u2019s back, when he sees that young pert of snobocracy commenting upon the chat- acters of statesmen like Rolph and Cameron.How we little apples like to swim.Upper CANADA.(For the Quebec Gazette.) In an article which appeared some time since in the Quebec Guzeite, on the necessity of effecting organic changes in the general government and economy of our public institutions \u2014both penal and charitable\u2014it was clearly demonstruted, that if nations are never un- poverished by their publiecharities, and if their establishment becomes of the highest importance, both as regards the interest of society on the one hand, and the claims of humanity on the other, we ought not to overlook the consideration, that the amount of good secured can only be commensurate with the laws and discipline which govern these institutions.Wherever these publie institutions have been established under legislative provisions, the press has been frequently and painfully directed to the many serious evils and abuses which pervade their entire external and internal government, and with few exceptiotis, have correctly traced these 6vils and consequent mismanagement, not only to defects in their original con- atitution, but to the absence of that governmental control and surveillance, which involve checks to and security against their arbitrary, and otherwise, irresponsible administration\u2014 and without whichy-(it has been established beyond a doubt) their chätacter and condition can neither be améelisratéd, nor réndered subservient to those highét nd more essential interests, for which legislative poliey intended thei.The subject has seriously engaged my attention for several years,as may appear from the following oh servations :\u2014* Oat of a largo number of commissioners, it is in general but a very limited number that will visit or act, and the eforeonr publicinstitutions,of whatevercbar DURS mene a 3b \\ Ch ened acterthey may be,arecommonly managed by the few.The present constitution of commission~ ers, affords not only no check ton continued series of abuses, but no facility whatever for the investigation of complaints, and we must repeat here, that we shall never secure any efficient system of government and general economy in these institutions, until we hove the appointment of a compelent person to visit and inspect, under the authority of government, nll establishments (including every description) \u2014to ascertain how they may be effectually improved and provided\u2014to collect information under uniform heads, and to report annually or oflener to the public, the results of his observations and inquiries, and such other details as may enable the legislature to form a correct opinion of the state of public institutions, and to carry into effect such judicious and well- matured measures as regard the improvement and modifications of which they may be sus- coptible.\u201d I have now before me, the last issue of the Toronto Examiner, and thersin appears a well written and interesting communication from Brantford, on the subject of that unfortunate institution\u2014the Toronto Asylum\u2014and wherein scarcely a month passes without exhibiting disturbing circumstances of a flagrant character\u2014coupling this, with Dr.James Douglas' grave and serious charges against the commissioners of the Marine-Hospital, we cannot but have just grounds for anticipating the earliest interposition and action of the Execu- {tive government, or the Legislature.There can be no doubt that for a long period of time, evils have prevailed in these institutions, which are now, ss iu others, producing their maximum effect\u2014and from what has, {rom time to time, escaped privacy and met publicity, we might almost be inclined to infer a general want of order and discipline to exist\u2014an imperfect and faulty distribution of the powers of the different officers, resident and non-resident, and the partial manner in which the authority of the officer is recognised by, and enforced upon the servants and attendants \u2014all of which have been plainly elicited in the observations of the local press.It may also be remarked, that when defects und abuses have existed in any establishment for a long series of years, they almost always of necessity become cumulative in their character, even when no greater, or perhaps even less, culpability may attach to those immediately concerned in their management and inspection.We have now, however, some assurance that the subject of all our public institutions will seriously engage the attention and consideration of the Executive Government during the present session of l\u2019arliament-\u2014and we, therefore, cannot but entertain hopes, that some measure will be introduced, the best calculated, to extend the range of their great usefulness\u2014to secure the integrity of their administration, and prevent the recurrence of those evils and abuses, which for many years have entailed difficulties and embarrassments to successive governments in their means of arresting and remedying them.But to meet these important ends, I must repeat my concurrence with those, whose knowledge and practical experience in the workings of public institutions have already been imparted to the press\u2014that all wiil depend upon the creation of an office of surveillance or inspection over every institution in the Province\u2014and which, if entrusted to an active and energetic miud\u2014of extensive scientific ac- quirements, and possessed of that integrity which is uninfluenced by other prepossessions than the determination of a stringent performance of lis highly responsible duties\u2014such an office, | may presume to say, cannot fail of ameliorating the condition of the numerous objects of these institutions\u2014of leading to the spread of more enlightened views, important alike to the interests of science and hunanity\u2014- and of securing the most beneficial and permanent changes in the economy, government, and discipline of every class of establishinent in the Province.20th August, 1852.eee (Tu the Editor of the Quebec Guzette.)

second, in the great increase of the rate of import duties now levied to defray the interest and debt, principally incurred for facilitating the trade of that Province.Before the union, the practice of applying to the Legislature by petition, afforded the inhabitants of the newly settled parts of Lower Canada an opportunity of expressing their necessities, and having their claims maturely considered in committee, prior to being submitted to that deliberative body, Under the new régime, representations must be made to, and decided upon by the Governor in Council preliminary to a recommendation in favor of any projected measure.As there are departments for specific objects, presided over by officers whose attainments and judgment can De availed of, much time and expense may besaved tothe public, now that the expenses of the session are more than one hundred pounds a day.I have thus premised this application, in order, not only to Justify to my constituents, the mode I have adopted of setting forth their wants, so foreign to that which they have been heretofore accustomed, but as an apology should 1 take up more thin an ordinary share of your time and attention.The importance of the subject to them is so great and paramount, that all others fall into the shade before it ; as an evidence of which, you will be pleased to pardun me for requesting the perusal of an address (herewith ehclosod) emanating from certain intelligent and influential electors of the county of Mégantic and deliversd at Leeds on the day of nomination in December last, and which may be considered the ** platform \"\u2014on which I received their suffrages.Upon all other subjects, I was, with a liberality, highly honorable to them and to me, left to the exercise of my judgment ;

in several instances the proposed deviations actually shorten the road ; the elevations of the existing hills being 50 great as 1in 4 and 1 in 3, and frequently to be met with,\u201d Again he remerks ;\u2014* During my prolonged stay here (in Leeds) from bad weather and circumstances retarding materially my operations.I have had an excellent opportunity of witnessing and appreciating the inconveniences and hardships the settlers through this otherwise fine section of country are subjected to.the load taken to market going to defray the expenses, by detentions from the state of the roads, broken down culverts and bridges : 5 or G ewt.isan average load, and that sometimes requiring two horses.The overflowing the roads in several places, &o as to cause the horses to swim, is a very serious inconvenience.and on a late occasion during my stay here, a family of young children, were upset in crossing the Osgood river (on the 19th\u2019 mile) which is very rapid, the approaches to the bridge having been swept away and impassable, and which ought to be attended:ito irrespective of the general improvement of the whole, as the mail is sometimes detained a whole night in consequence,\u201d Mr.Baird sums up with-the em- phatie declaration, \u201c that\u2018in no part of either Province has he traversed any section so much in need of the projected ameliorations or that would be more benefitted thereby.\u201d A stronger recommendation, language would fail me to express.1 shall therefore rest the claims of those roads upon their respective merits,\u2014but, at the same Lime, 1 should \"be wanting in duty were I to omit to mention that the satilers on the Craig, Broughton and Tring Roads, ns well as the other roads in the County, have heretolore suffered hardships, and absolute neglect, and injuries that entitle them to roule is tn many places improper, and must, anterior to the action of Municipal Councils, be altered and re-formed.When these are accomplished, I shall consider it a duty and have much pleasure in interposing my advice and good offices, so that the Province shall: not thenceforth be called upon to make any direct appropriation on their behalf.When it is con~ sidered that, on becoming settlers in this County, per cent., and that even then their schools and incipient settlements were fostered, the contrast of their present position is most galling, sub- ed state of their badly organized roads hae de- against the general prosperity.mention is made of the Lambton and Gosford were not at that time so pressing, nor the subjects of reference.the Country\u2014had he been required to give an opinion, there is no doubt would have stated ought to Le called on to assume the responsibility of keeping them in order, baska road, this cannot be said ;
