Mr.Aylwin could see with \u201c half an eye,\u2019* that there wae no representative for Beaubarnoia ; and, without either petition or eommiUee, that the return for Oxford did not agree with the poll ; but lie was blind as a bat te the fact that either Montreal, or Terrebonne, was mintst a rapreaenta'lve.Mr.L.M.Viger will be the Lafontaine candidate for Terrebonne, and it is rumoured that he will be oppoiied by Mr.J as.Scott, or Mr.A B.Papineau, one or both.Sinee writing Uie above we find that Mr.Lafontaine, having accepted office, will vacate both seatv\u2014another curious anomaly arising from Ihe setting aside \u201c British praetice\u201d whenever it soiti a party convenience.\u2014JUon-treat Gazette.We copy the following from the London Deity News.Whoever the Navigation Laws may benefit, if anybody, of which we have great doubts, they do not benefit the sailers.By forcing Ihe engagement of an extra number of apprentices, they overstock the trade, and thus nroduee the surplus of seamen, which drivee so many of British origin into tbe service of the United States.This ia, on a large scale, as great an absurdity, as the combination of Workmen, in other trades, to restrict the number of apprentices, are on a small one Thk Seamen and the Navigation Law*.\u2014A correspondent says : How little reliance ia to be placed on Uie representations of certain persans professing to express the sentiments of the seamen, shipwrights, and others of the working classes of the Tyne and the Wear, on the subject of the navigation Iswe, will be seen from the following notice of a public meeting held on Monday evening, in the Alhencum, Sunderland.Tbe meeUng according to Urn placard eonvenbsg it, was one representing tbe seamen, sliipwrights, and other trades interested in tha prosperity of British shipping.A shipwright named Garnaby was called to the chair.In accordance with the plan of the meeting, he invited any gentleman present in favour of or against the navigation laws, to express their sentiments.Mr.J.Wilson, xa extensive merchant a id shipowner, was the first to accept Ihe invitation.He made a speech exposing the absurdity and mischief of the protective policy.\u2014Mr.J.Candish, a ship-builder and ship-owner, (allowed on tim same side.Having concluded a speech abounding in arguments and striking facts, an appeal was mode to any who might be disposed to maintain protection to come forward, or for any who had any questions lo put or doubla to be solved to urge their views ; but no one accepting the ehalknge, Mr.J.Ferguson, a shipwright, rose, and proposed : That this meeting, having heard the addreesea just de lirered, is of opinion that no apprehension need be entertained that the rcpenl of tha navigation hwa will be productive of any lijury to British skipping, or to the seamen, shipwrights, and o'hers connected with the maritime interest ; but, on Ihe contrary, this meeting believes that, looking to the obstruction which those laws efier to tho adranccmont of our commercial and manufacturing interests, the immediate repeat of the add laws is highly desirable ; and that British shipping and British industry need not drend competition with any foreign nation.After other addresses, chiefly from working men, a petition in ftivour of repeal was adopted, with only three dissentient*.What renders the above meeting more remarkable is the fact that the secretary of the Shipowner\u2019s Society, R.Brown, Esq., an able and popular speaker and an advocate for the navigation laws, was specially invited to attend, but he did not make hit appearance.PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT.HOUSE oFasSEMBLY.Tuesday, March 14.Several enquiries were made of Mr.Drummond\u2014wito came down to Uie House as the representative of the Cah|.net,

been dispoaed of, precisely at seven o\u2019clock, ihe doora were thrown open, according to public notice, when the people began to arrive, and in a very shod time the Hall of Ihe House of Assembly w as densely crowded.The \u201c Si.PaMick\u2019a Band\u201d occupied the gallery, and enlivened the proceedings nf the evening with a choice selection ofthe melodies of f Id Ireland, and other favorite aits, 1 he President read the order of the prorea»ion.which met with Ihe full approbation of the meet-rag.The President informed the meeting lhal aa the « St.Patrick\u2019* Band\u201d was in reality the National Band of the Society, it would, therefore, be necea-aaty that they should be auppoiteri by the Society, and in order to cairy out that object, he proposed thil a 8uhtcri|ition hit be 0)i*ird for lhal purnoft* Accordingly a Hat wig opened, and the greatest patriotism was displayed « n this occasion, and in a short time upwards of £150 waa suhac.ibed, each mdivideal endeavoring to tival the other ia the sum placed on the list.Mr.Doran having been loudly called for adressed the meeting.He said that a better opportunity could not present itivlf than the present »o bting under their notice the necessity uf having a press (hat.would faithfully rfpruent (hrir opinions and inttrMt* in (hit city.And k* ho was gittn to U'ideratand, th»t it was intended to revive the freeman's Journal, he tall persuaded that it would he well supported by then.He did not think ll necessary to occupy their time in going intoani detail on the merits of the Freeman's Journal, a* it wa« known to them aa their true friend.The Pra-stdent also addressed the meeting at eonaiderahlo length on the di'e necessity of establishing in this city an Irish paper that would advocate their teal inteieats and promote their respectability.In Ihe course of hia address he clearly pointed nut tho great injury that Irishmen had sustained by the misrepresf ntationi of some papers published in thio Province, railing themselves Irish papers, while in reality they were only enemies of Irishmen.Dur-i-g his addiess he waa loudly rheeied Mr Lepper said Ihat he was sure that Ihe Irishmen of «luebre would, without any exception, sun-porl a well conducted lri«h paper, and he wnuhl therefore recommend the Freeman\u2019s Journal to their support, as il had always proved itaell true fiiend of Irishmen in Canada.Mr.( rmolly also addressed Ihe meeting on Ihe same subject, and said that he fully concurred in the_aentjment» of the gentlemen that preceded him.'Shortly after, Ihe Prntdeni informed the meeting \u2022hat they would nil assemble before the Parliament buildings on Friday morning at 9 o\u2019clock, in order to form the ptocession, and he therefore adjourned the meeting, by proposing three cheers for old Ireland-three cheers for Queen Victoria, and the meeting then diapersed, rejoicing al the perfect harmony of the proceedings of the evening, and long we say, may the Irishmen of Quebec continue at the United Irishmen in the same spirit they evinced on this occasion, and may nothing ever divide them. REPORT Of TUE MEEPINQ OF \u201c THE FRIENDLY SONü OF ST.PATRICE \u201d Pursuant to notice 4 very lar^je and highly res-pertable meeting of Irishmen was heht at Mr.Feate\u2019s, Queen's Arms Inn, Chsmiilain Street, on We(lne>ilay evening, the 15ih inS'ant.At half-i'»*' 7 o\u2019clock John Maguire, E^q., Advocate, was unanimously called to the chair, ami M.ÎJ, McCoy requested to act as Secretary.The chairman, in a discourse which was remaik* ^able for «he puritv of its diction and the peispicui'y of its argumen's, hut, above all, for the glow of pa-tiiotic devotion and universal charity which shone through every sentence, laid before his a|t|ilending audience the objects for which the meeting was convened.After some remarks from other gentlemen, the Secielary mad the following preamble and re*oln.nions, which were earned by acclamation ; so much so, «hat but one spiii* seemed to animate the three hundred a id odd persons there a»s>-mbled, Wherea* the St.Patrick*» Society of this city, notwithstanding its pretended anxi< ty for the union of all Irishmen, without distinction of leliginus or political creed, has excluded certain gentlemen ^froin hreoming member», putely on account of their political opinions, thus violating the laws of its own cons'ilutnn, and doing ¦ gros*injustice to the gentlemen so exclud* d : Resolved,\u2014Thai we deem it expedient to form a HNational Society which will receive with open [aims into it* bosom all Irishmen and descendants I of Irishmen, w hose character are unstained by any I public crimes, and who ate willing to obey th'< con-I atitu inn and by laws which are to be framed fur its direction and government, as interpreted by a majo-ily of its members.Resolved,\u2014That this Sociely be known and «lied by the name of \u201c The Friendly Sons or St.Patrick \u201d R< solved,\u2014That ws deeply commiserate with our fellow countrymen in Ireland, on account of the unparalleled misery and destitution under which ^iey labour ; and that we pledge ourselves in make every legitimate exertion in our power to alleviate said misery and destitution, as soon ss circumstances will enable us to do so.Resolved,\u2014That we consider it highly unbecoming for rhe lri-h of Quebec to indulge in national festi'ities, while aratrelv anything but the expiring groans of starving thousand* is heard throughout Ireland ) and that we therefore do refrain from the otherwise social pleasure of a public dinner.The names of such as desired (o become members of the Society were next taken down, to the number of one hundred and friy-sevent after which the election of odlcers occupied the atiention of the meeting.The following gentlemen were chosen by acla-tnatton President\u2014John Maguire, E«q.\t.1st Vice-President\u2014Hugh O\u2019Donnell, E*q.2omer praving to be empln\\ ed in taking the census of the city.\u2014Referred to Bve-Law* Committee.Pres >nted the petition of Jos.Verrsul*, Jacques Barbeau, a >d othsrs praying for improvements in certain streets.\u2014Referred to Road Committee.ORDERS OF THR DAT.* Read the 79th report of tho Ftru Committee, recommending an additional grant of £60 for the completion of Engine heetes in the suburbs, which put tu the vote ws* granted.Read the 58th report of the Police Committee on the subject of tho petition of Louis Minguay,and jothers prax iug that the Police men be charged with vthe duties of Constables\u2014report recommending that the prayer ef the petition be not granted, «>n account of the limited number of men now composing the Police force and the additional expense to be incurred for the purpose, was, after an amendment moved by Mr.Tessier, adopted, r Ordered that the reputt do lie on the table, to be reconsidered, together with the draft of the Act of Incorporation.Adjourned.ANTIQUATED N JTIONSOF THE ADMINIS TRATION OF JUSTICE, To the Editor of Me Quebec Mtrcury.Sir,\u2014As we are all concerned in the right ad ministration of justice, and as there appears something woith being \u2022» rend, marked, learnt, and inwatdlv digested,\u2019* in the shape of admonition to gen'lemen of the long robe, in the following es tract, from one of Bacon\u2019* Essays, xou may, per-hapa, do not a litis good by giving it a place in your columns : \u201c Secondly, for the advocates and counsel that plead :\u2014patience, and gravity of hearing, is an essential part of justice ; and an over-tpeaking indgt Lx no to rll lunrH n/mhal.It is no grace to a judge, first to find that which he might have heard in due time fn m the bar ; or to show quickness of conceit in ruffing of evidence or countel too short ; or \\oprevent information bx question, though petti-nent.The parts of a judge in h-aring are four : to direct the evidence, to moderate length, repetition, or impertinency of speerh, to recapitulate, \u2022elect, and collate the material points of that which hath been said, and to give the rule or sentence.Whatsoever is above these is too much, and pro-ceedeth either of glory and willingnes* to speak, nr of impatience to hear, or of shortness of memory, o of want of a stayed and equal attention.It is a «trange thing to gfit 'ha.the boldness of advocates should prevail with judges ;
