FEBRUARY 12.1875.THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.It is about time some action was taken by the Coroner, and some information git en to tbe^>ab)io,on the cause ot the fire, \u2022and number of the unfortunates burned on that dreadful night at the Beanport Asylum.At present we are in the dark as to whether it is twenty, thirty or forty that perished in the flames.More light on this subject is demanded.A PHOTESTANT LUNATIC ASYLUM.Mr.Alexander presented last week, a petition praying the Legislature to take into consideration, the propriety of subsidiziag a Protestant Lunatic Asylum, on the same basis as the Beauport and St.John Institutions.This petition is signed by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, and every Protestant gentleman of weight, influence and prominence in the district, and were it for no other reason than this, it should command the careful attention of the Legislature Apai t from this reason, however, which might entitle to notice, memorials of far less importance, the petition commands attention on account of its justice, and the righteousness of the cause it advocates, that of vesting in a Protestant Insti tutioc, the charge of the treatment of the mentally afflicted of the Protestant community.It is suggested that the proprietor of the Belmont Retreat, a gentleman whose reputation in connection with the treatment of lunacy is almost world wide, should be vested with the core of these unfortunate people, and that the Government provide for their support in the same manner as for the inmates of the Beauport and other Asy lums.The Retreat affords every accom modation, for the care £of £the mentally alienated, and Mr.Wakeham, who so long conducted the Beauport Asylum, is in every way qualified to undertake their care and cure.It is veiy certain that increased accommodation of this nature, must short ly be provided by the Government.The Beauport Asylum, crowded even beforj the fire, is no longer possessed of c&paci Ry for the reception of the numerous patients demanding care at the hands of the public, and quarters must be found elsewhere.No better method could be adopted than that of weeding out the Protestant lunatics, and placing them under the charge of Mr.Wakeham.We trust the Government will see the pro priety of foiling in with the views of the petitioners.spite of their declarations to the contrary, tbeÇ» is a something they are straining every-.nerve to ^nceal.We oaenot a5|oid the conclusion, when we see tbeusfâbetüng the impertinences of a Mkldlamis^ and gxcusing and palliating the 'insolenees of a Dansereau, the manipulators of tffe job, and the reapers of the spoil, thht they are the retained counsel and special pleaders of these men.They cannot reconcile their declarations before, and their conduct during the investigation, and we hardly think they have a friend to-day, bold enough to say that their hands look anything like clean.much exaggerated.Ill treatment by the soldiers is a pure invention.The question relative to the forcible entrance into a Mirttonary home remains unsettled.It appear* the house was American property but i was Inhabited by Turkish subjects.UNITED

more or lees unpopular with one or more of the partita at the time.He begged to move the metion of which he bad given notice.The Hooee here adjourned.ama Ksocas Hr.UACKKNZlE BOWKlL, in resuming the debate, mid he roee with considerable diffidence to discuss a question of such momentous importance as that now before the House, more particularly ss it had fallen to his lot to follow the drst Minister of the Crown.He must, however, express astonishment at the manner in which the question had been brought before the House.Taking the resolutions as a wn»)», he thought th- y w re unparalleled in ib - history oi any legislative Itody.It did -e in t > H-n that they had been framed\u2014he thought he might safely say with the maiignaut ingenuity of a subtle mind other than that of the gentlemen who proposed them\u2014for the purpose t f relieving themselves of the great responsibility which they should not hesitate to assume as the principal advisers oi the Crown in this country.It seemed to him that they adopted this course for the purpose of erecting a barrier behind which they could retire, no matter from what quarter they might be attacked.If attacked from an Ontario standpoint, they would say that, notwithstanding the extreme Btterences which they bad made for the last three or four yean, they had effected a compromise of this kind, and relieved those whom they had declared in the past shoo Id be bunged or gibbetted.If alUdktd from a Lower Canada standpoint, they could plead that they placed Riel and Lapine and those who were with them in the events ot the Nor h-West in a much b.-tter position than they would have been had they been left alone.If this were not their policy, why, be would ask, bad they not given a bur resume of the policy that bore particularly upon this subject?Why had they studiously left out of the prcunble, if bo might so term it, every word that referred to ihe action of their colleagues in connrctioo with the presumed promise of amnesty ?Had they not desired to throw the whole responsibility upon the Government that bad pasved cn of existence, and had they not desired to inflict a stab on the right bon.the memb.r for Kingston and those who supported him at the time, they would bave added to these resolutions the action of the late Minister oi Justice, Hon Mr.Dorion, and the interview which took place between Archbishop Tache and Ur.Letellier, and would have read to the House the telegrams which their lato colleague, the Hen.Minister of Justice, sent to Governor Morris in order to induce Riel to return from Proveccher.They might have gone farther and told the House, because the evidence showed it, that Archbishop Tache, through Governor Morris, informed them where they could find and communicate with Mr.Riel, and discuss the question of his running for Provencher.They could have eveu gone farther and sUted that Father L&scanel wrote to ArchMalr'p Tache, and told him that he had an interview either with the late minister of justice or some one on his behalf in reference to this matter.He repeated that had the Government been desirous of making their case stronger, and of reel log all the facts connected with the promise of amnesty, and the negotiations which had been carried on closely connected with troubles in the North-West they would have placed upon record their own utterances in this matter.He found on reading the evidence in addition to that recited in the resolution, and read to the Hou;e that Archbishop Tache stated in bis evidence that on the 25th of November be had an interview with Mr.Letellier in his office, and that Mr.Letellier said to him, I think or 1 hope that we shall be abli to give the amnesty to our Lower Canadian friends as a New-Year's gift.This he thought was about as strong evidence as auy produced and if the Government bad, he would not say the political coungs hut the moral courage which they should possess as responsible ministers, they would have come down to this bouse, and asked for an amnesty pure and simple.He woold say farther that if there was any logical deduction to be drawn from the utterance of the Premier today, basing as he did his whole case upon the promises or supposed promises or utterances, official or unofficial, be (the Premier) thoold say at once that these parties were entitled to an amnesty pure and simple.He proceeded to quote the evidence of Arebbish-'p Tscbe relating to bis Lordship\u2019s interview with the Hon.Messrs.Dorion and Letei: r, and the telegrams which passed betwn «* them, contending that whatever their predecessors had done, the present Government had followed in their footsteps in endeavoring to ga\u2019nas much support as they possibly could from ihe North-West.Why the issue of the writ for Pio-vencher had been delayed four months after the expulsion ot Louis Riel from the House, and the order of a new writ, he left to the Hon.the Minister of Justice to say.Uis own impression was that they were in hopes that in the meantime some arrangement could be made as communications showed whereby they could get Riel oat of the way.There was nothing, he continued, that occurred afterwards, either in these men enlisting and offering their services to the Lieutenant Governor, or on thrir pretended loyalty at the time of the fenian raid that condoned the cffence of which they were charged.He referred to the language of the Home authorities bearing on the question, more especially to the despatch from the Governor General to Lord Carnarvon, and to L^rel Carnarvon\u2019s reply, contending that from the evidence read by the Prime Minister, these two high authorities had drawn a differen inference.Ha next quoted from these despatches to shew that no matur what conversations had passed between the Minis er and delegates from the North-west, that the House was not justlfle i in adopting the reaoln ion submitted toit.He was nota little surprised to h«ar the Premier declare with considerable vehemence that neither be nor any one of bis colleagues or party ever tried to make political capital ret out of this question.Such an assertion be was bound to say could not be te-c- lyed with the same dependence as that which was generally placed upon the utterance of the A at Minister of the Crown.He found on reference to the record that the Hon.Premier did not hesitate, when discussing the question of Scott\u2019s murder, to use language certainly not in accord with that he used tonight.He reviewed at great length the whole history of the troubles, expressing In strong language his condemnation of the murder ot Scott, who, he said, had been killed for no other reason than for his loyalty to his Queen, and concluded by remarking that no sooner were the elections in Ontario closed than the foot of Le pine\u2019s reprieve was promnlgated through the Officiai Oawtte.By watching the course of events, and knowing the past history of the party in power, he knew, moreover, that before It was possible for the Que bec elections to be brought about the Govern meat would introduce some scheme for granting an amnesty, in order to enable their friends in Lower Canada to go to the polls wi h the declaration mad « by the boo.member for Jacques Cartier, some time ago, at a public meeting, that it was only from the Liberal party that sa amnesty could be ex-pecUd, if any should ever be proclaimed.The whole scheme for the pardon otLepine was purposely kept Lack nnril after the Ontario elections, and it was now brought forward before the Quebec elections, and bon.members would hear the parishes of Lower Canada ringing with a declaration of the love wLj .h the Gor^nunent had displayed for their countrymen in the North-West and shewn themselves friends and allies of the Metis.The House adjourned, without a division, at 2 55 a.m.Owing to the length of the debate, we are compelled to hold over several speeches.HiV tbu bill was
