as also the issue of snch process as may be necessary to enforce that tight.All which is humbly submitted.Joux A.Macdoxald.A Committee of the Executive Council examined the minute, and formally approve-' of it.So did His Excellency in Council, and sent it to the Colonial office- We know that the English authorities promised to legislate in the sense suggested thou rh the fart does not appear in ihe return\u2014but we are not aware that it has yet been done.gn,\u2014! have received, by the last mail from Canada, a repoitof the judgments recently delivered at Toronto, in me case of Anderson, a 1 fugitive slave.The facts are reeitpd in the judgments, and | it appears that the Cour», by a m«j .riiy ot two Judges to one.has pronounced a decision that I the prisoner is not entitled to be liberated.It I farther appears, however, that the prisoner s| Counsel üjs giveu notice of appeal, and I am informed that the Case will be argued before the Court oc Queen\u2019s Bench some time before the close of the present month \u2018 If the resnl of tost appeal be adverse to the prisoner,you will bear in mind that uuder the treaty of Sxtradttion fie cannot be delivered over to the United Slates authorities by the mere action of tbe law Tnat can only oe done by a warrant under the hand and seal of the Governor Tbe case of Anderson is one of tbe gravest posaiule importance, and Her Majesty's Govern-mem are not satisfied that tbe decision of the Court at Toronto is in conformity witn the view ot tbe treaty which baa hitherto gnided tbe antnoriUea in this country.I have tb-rerore to instruct you to abstain in »fiy case from completing the Extradition nnlil Her Majesty s Government mall have had farther opportanuy of coneideriag the question, and, if necessary, conferring with tte Government of the United btates on ihe * Vbave further to direct yon to keep me fully and immediately Informed npoo any futur* steps which may be taken m this very peculiar and important case I have, 4c., (Signed) Tbe Officer Administering tbe Government of Canada THE APPEAL TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL.In noticing the suoce«sful efforts made to defeat the bill to restrict the right of appeal to the Privy Council, the Csnadien seems to be under the impression that it was thrown out owinj» to some distrust of the French Canadians, existing among the British press and the British members of the Legislative Council, which, our contemporary says : '« mast l^ad to deplorable results by shaking the mutual confidence which has prevailed frr many years among the people of British and French o ig n in Lower Canada.\u201d We remember to have pointed out that owing to the relative proportion as to race of the British and French Judges in onr Courts, the bill woo\u2019d have been unjust ?c the British suitor.But we think that, ir.doing our be«t to prevent the passage of a law which would have had that effect, we labored in the interest of a continuance of .the good feeling which, we are happy to say\u2019 does ««xist between Ihe British and French population of Lower Canada.We are quite sensible that in no other country »n the world the two different races agree so wed together as -'o the British and French here.And this accord is producing such good result*, that we should extremely regret doing anything to distuib it.THE FAMINE IN INDIA\u2014AN APPEAL TO CANADA.The Lord Mayor of London, chairman of the Metropolitan Indian Relief committee, has appealed for aid to the people of Canada^ tnrough His Excellency the Governor Gen eral, and his letter appears in the last Canada Gazette.He states that several millions of people are suffering from famine, caused by the failure of the harvest, in consequence of the unusual drought, that nothing but the hand of charity is between them ami death Some £100,000 have already been subsen bed iu England, and appeals are being | made to the colonies, to swell the sum to j larger proportions.We need no; say that I we hope Canadians will do something, i j not much, tor their fellow subjects.This, J it is hoped, wnl be the Iasi ot the great Indian famines, as the works of irrigation and communication, now going on, must have a greatly beneficial effect.MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF THE BOARD OF TRADE, The Council of the Board of Trade met at eleven o\u2019clock yesterday, in the Exchange, for tbe purpose of taking into consideration the Hon.Mr.Merritt\u2019s propositions relative to tbe Western carrying trade.Tbe President, J.Gillespie, Esq , occupied tbe chair, and tbe Hon.Mr.Jerritt was present; but the attendance generally, was not large, owing no doubt to tbe press of business which at present engrosses the attention of our leading merchants.The report of tbe Select Committee of the Legislative Council ou tbe subject of tbe Western trade having been read by tbe President, the Hon.Mr Merritt proceeded to explain bis plan, the details of which have been alteady made public in our columns.He contended that, owing to tbe gr-al natural facilities of the St.Lawrence route, and the consequent cheapness of the transportation, tbe trade only needed a commencement in order to progress with a rapidity and to assume a magnitude of wnich it was almost impossible to from an idea at present.Wi.b regard to the expenditure necessary, in order to enable large sized propellers to be placed on the toute, the honorable gentlemen referred to the documents annexed io the report already alluded to, containing estimates of the probable cost of deep ening a channel through from the West, as far as Montreal.Then, as a consequence of these improvements, Mr.Merritt stated that grain could be brought to Quebec twenty-two c\"nts cheaper than at present.Tbe subject was discussed by tbe President anil by Messrs.Lemesurier, Scott, May and other gentlemen present It was urged as one of the principal draw-backs that our long winter season would interfere, as tbe Western trader would prefer to make his arrangement with the New York merchant or agent lor (be business of tbe whole year, than to enter into a temporary arrangement with tbe Quebec mercba.it for six tnonibs' business.Another reason given was thediffi culty cf proceeding to any definite action in the matter, without the co-operation of the Liverpool merchants, with whom, it was urged the success or failure of the scheme necessarily lay.inasmuch as they alone could control the direction of the trade or choose tbe route, for which it would be necessary to offer some inducement in tbe shape ot a bonus.Finally the two following resolutions were passed after h little more than an hour bad been occupied by this disc ission ;\u2014 1\u2014\ty oved by H.S.Scott, Esq., seconded by Heury Lemesurier, Esq., and resolved\u2014\u201cThat the thanks of tnis Council are due and are hereby tend* red to the Hon.Mr.Merritt, for tbe very important information he has furnished rela ive to tbe Western t.-ade and the superior advantages of tne St Lawrence route over that by New York \" 2\u2014\tMov» 1 by R.Shaw, Esq , seconded by D.C.Thomson, Esq .\u2014\u2018\u2018Thatit is desirable that a publi* 'leetiug of tbe citizens of Quebec be called i an early period, at which tbe Hon.Mr, Met !îtbe requested to attend, and shew tbe adv.tages which might be secured by a parti) ipat on in the Western carrying trade.\u201d Tbe meeting then adjourned.POLICE COURT.BEFORE J WAUUIRK, KSQ., POLICE MAOI3TRATR.In this Court yesterday morning, Thomas Wickham, a seaman of the \u2018Orillia,* was brought up on complaint of Captain Cummings, for refusing to do duty on board of that ship, on the 18th instant.The defendant was sent on boar 1.William Cunningham seaman of the \u2018Grace,\u2019 complained against the master of the said vessel on an action for wag.*s.Wages ordered to bp assessed, the Court holding the contract to have expired.Mary Pleaich, widow of the late William Fal-conhridge, complained of Ann Finn and Mary Mack for threatening her with personal violence, an«\u2019n transacting business in the \u2022 >n»noon On bis return home, about half-pa:*' >» e o'clock.'\u2022\u2022\u2022 informed Mrs.Campbell ihM he whs suffi ring from a severe pain in the l* io argue with him.that it is equally impos-ih e to the civil magistrate to repress the sin of u-iiiy ;

the shot lodged in his breast and neck, inflicting severe wounds The neighbors, who hail come to his relief, were not allowul to state what the boy had confessed to them.The jury acquitted the prisoner of both charges, and a few minutes after, he was playing us unconcernedly as ever.Prfsextatioe or Plate to Mr C.J.Brtdgis The Hamilton Herald gives a description of the plate recently presented to Mr.C J Brydges, manager of the Great Western Railway.It says : The chaste and elegant articles composing this service, amount to seventeen pieces in \u2022 II, among which are: 1st a magnificent ice-dish supported by three polar hears, which are sarrounded by miniature blocks of ice poia ing upwards in irregular crystals In th': interior nf tbe bowl there is a cut glass salver which may be taken out at pleasure, and the farmer may then be used as a wassail bowl No-hinu can be more unique and beautiful than its design, and we have seldom seen a more appropriate ore.2nd, a large silver salver with a representation of cows standing in a field, and mountains in tbe distance, most beautifully chased throughout, There ar*-four cut glass fruit dishes elevated on pedestals of silver Figures representing the seasons stand with their arms entwined around them ;
