We obkerve by the Aiagara Chronicle, that at the meeting held there, on behalf of Queen's College, subscriptions were entered into, to upwards of £600; and a still larger amount will be subseribied there.Au advertisement appears in the Hamilton Gazette, calling a meeting in Hamilton for the same purpose, on to-morrow.Some day last week, we have been informed, Bishop Strachan and some of His Lordship\u2019s clergy, presented to His Excellency the Governor General, an address on the subject of the Clergy Reserves, still urging an exclusive claim to them, on the part of the Churel of England, as the \u201c Established Church\u201d of the Province.We have understood, that the purport of His Excellency\u2019s reply was, that great concessions were expected to be made by all parties, on the Clergy Reserve question, aod particularly by the Bishop \u2018 and his clergy.Oa Monday, Mr, Cartwright brought forward an\u2019 address to [ler Majesty, the Queen, on the subject of the union.lt occasioned sme diseussion, and was referred wo a select commitice to report anou it.The object of the address is, to recommend that the seat of government of the united province shall be in Upper Canada; that the English language shall alone be sonken, in the united legislature and the courts of baw; and that the prinsioles of the act 31st Gun.3rd be preserved in the new constitution.We have since received His Lixeelleney\u2019s message and have barely space left to subjoin it, As His Excellency is reported to have said to the Bishop and his Clerse, so it will be admitted that gr-at concessions must le made by all parties.Oar most earnest wish is, that the question may be settled in some wav, and it is to be hoped the Legislature will! make one more effurt, to come to such terms as are : likely to meet the wishes of the peojle here, and \u2018 : + also secure the concurrence of the Imperial Parlia- | ment in the measnre, which by the constitutional act is essential to its adoption.The question we understand, is to be taken up tomorrow in the House.\u201cOn Thursday the 2d instant, Mr.Mardock tha Chief Secretary, brought duwn several messages to | the House of Assembly, \u2014among others, one refer- ; ring to the bills reserved for the royal assent, in which {lis Excellency took eccasion to call the attention of the house, to the pronriety of their proceeding with the pablie business, and not leaving | important questions to the end of the session, to Le ; To this our cor- ; then hurried throuzh the house.respondent Cato refers, The message not having been printed, we have not been able to procure a copy of it.was a very unusual one.Mr.Bockus thought it extraordinary, aud woull have it referred to a se- leet committee, sage improper, Mr.Prince was decidediv of ppinion that the mes- i same was no breach of privilege.There was another messare, however, to which no allusion whatever had been made, He referred to that whiehim- plied that we should have to bear the expense of the rebellion as well asof the attacks which had been made upon us by the Amerigans.That message inflicts a gross injustice upon the inhabitants of this province.Mr, Gowan remarked that :he message | Mr.T'horburn considered the mes- ; The Governor (General is a member of the! p'e.We are willing to believe that the matives of Mix Excellency are pure, \u2014thathe is convineed that the House of Lords will not consent to tho atieme tion of the Reserves from religions purposes, and that consequently there is no use in leaving the question to an United Legislatnre.We must, however, on behalf of the praple of this Pravines, proe test in the most solemn manger against their wishes .and interests being sacrificed to the British House of Lords, His Excellence has repeatedly pledoed himself to conduct his government in harmony with the feelings of the people.Relying on these pledges we have hitherto, in common with our polis tical friends, given an independent support to the administration of His Excellency ; but we ars bound to tate that the people are anxiously look ing for something more than words, The conduct of the Sheriff and Magistrates of the Home District on the occasion nf the Yonred street riot, has now been for several weeks under the consideration of His Excellency, and no eaply has been vouchsafed to the Memorialists, althoueh anxiously expected alinost universally throughout the Province.Partizan Magistrates are still ope | pressing the peonle in the most cruel manner, and ! no redress is afforded.The administration of the _goverament continues precisely as it did under Sir George Arthur, while the wishes of the people are entirely disregarded in the most important subject under the consideration of the Legixiature.It is our duty to tell lls Excellency respectfully, but firmly, that the intelligent yeomanry of Upper i Canada caunot and will not yield to an administra« \u2018tion conducted on these priociples.The Magistracy must be reformed.If His Excellency be sincerely desirous, as we trust he is, to afford redress to the people in this respect, let him issue new commissions of the peace, and appoint to the Mazistracy, the Town Clerks snd Commissioners chosen under the old Towuship officers\u2019 act.These are men possessing the confidence of the people.lu making the foregoing observations, it is far from our intention to excite any distrust of His Exvellency*s in- tegtions.We feel, however, that without compromising our own character, we can no longer refraia from expressing strongly what we know to be the feelinzs of the vast majority of the people.ltis unnecessary for us to euter npon the sickening detail of the petty tyranny daily and hourly practised upon the independent yeomanry of the Province by the partizan Magistracy, bevause we entertain un doubt that His Excellency must be fatly aware of its existence.At the annual Township meetings held last Monday in Whitchurch and East Gwil- Himbury, resolutions were carried unanimously, condemning the Magi
