exer cising a salutary influence over all the departments and proceedings of the state, and yet charitably forbearing to violate the sanctuary of private conscience.These causes bave never yet been found so happily united in any other country, nor is it easy to conceive how another England should at any future period arise on the globe.i From the Courier.It is now some time since we began to advert to the state of the Public Funds, and the circumstances likely to cause them to rise.Some of our contemporaries did not scruple to tax us with sinister motives, and maintained that the pressure of Lhe public burdeus was so great as to put any considerable rise of the Funds out of question.It is now for the public to decide between us and our opponents as to the past, and, with reference to the future, to judge from the favourable state of the Exchange, andthe peace between Russia and Turkey, whether the late rise is likely to be maintained.We might expatiate on another cause of rise in the public securities, less.obvious to common apprehension, but of great power with calculating stockholders\u2014the probable reduction of the rate of interest on the Five per Cents.in France, followed, ss is generally expected on the Stock Exchange, by a partial reduction in that of other foreign Stocks.We take an'interest ia the rise of Stocks, however, only as far as it is likely to lead to increased enterprize in trade.When 941 or 951, in money can be got for 1004.of 3 per Cent.Stock, is it not natural that the Stockholder should think of selliog and of employing the large sum he may thus receive in some commercial undertak- jug?The crop of cotton in Carolina is said to be in some degree deficient;

decrease of the pour ratés 3 a sufficiency, or an approach to sufficiency, in the wages of the mechanic for the maintenance of his family.\u2014 Farther, supposing an extensive railway completed, and facilities thus given to the conveyance of corn, cattle, coal, salt, lime, stone, and other heavy articles, what would be the con sequences in n national sense ?An increase in the value of property in remote districts ; a great addition to the traffic from country to country ; a tendency to equality in the rate of prices iu different parts\u2014advantages to be appreciated only by those who have lived on the Continent and who have seen how much every district is confined to its own supplies, one Province frequently undergoing the evils of scarcity while in another there is superabuudance ; all in consequence of their wretched roads and almost total want of communication by caoals or railways.re ARC HERY.\u2014 that fellow Landles His bow like a crow-keeper, draw me a clothier\u2019s yard.LEAR.We have learned with great pleasure that the noble and rational pastime of Archery has been revived in the South and Western parts of Englaad, with a splendour aud propriety of costu-ue proportioned to the chivalrous character of the amusement.To our own countrymen, the descendants of tha Archers of Agincourt, Cressy, and Poicticrs, the use of the how is well knowu : iudeed so generally is it prised, thateven the ladies, warmed, un doubt, with some portion of the same generous avdoar which once inspired the Archers of the ¢¢ olden time,\u201d are using every endeavour to bring it into geue- ral repute, more especially in the County of Berks.la this noble proviuce where so much wealth and beauty abound, clegant females, in tasteful dresses, appropriate to the sport, are in the frequent habit of forming themselves iu graceful groups, and coatending for the prize.Here are to be seen the Lincoln Green of which Scott makes such picturesque use in bis sketch inthe Knight of Snowdon ;

The state of Irish Society gives ground for serions reflection.It has been sought to connect the la wlessniess and insubordination to authority, which have ever been the characteristics of that half-wild and neglected people, with political causes.An attentive examination of history will show how false it would be to ascribe to any temporary polit cal exigency, effects which have been visible in Ire- Jand as long almost as she has been known as a peopled country, and which are the unvarying features of man in Lis uncultivated state, wherever found.When was Ireland without her feuds, her hostile clans animated with the hatred of the fiercest rivalry against each other; her solitary murders, and the sanguinary conflicts en musse of her factions?And what people are there uninstructed in the arts of civilized life, untaught in the occupations of industry, that bear not the same identical marks of uncultured nature?lt may then serve a political purpose, but it caunot serve the cause either of truth or justice, to assign political causes ns the source of disorders, the remedy for which must be sought aud administered through a very different channel.Employment and education must be given to the mass of the Irish peasantsy, and the social virtnes will follow in the train.England abounds iu unemployed capital, which she is ready to pour ioto the channels of Irish industry whenever the aspect of that country becomes sufficently calm andiovit- ing to guarantee the security invested in the speculations of «\u2019uimerce.The natives of Ireland attract the admiration of who have the opportunity of personally observiug in them, RAL an exterior of aboriginal barbarism, qualities calculated to exalt the character of human nature.Their country, for its salubrity, its natural beauty, and the fecundity of itssoil, isa just theme of gratulation aud pancgyric.How mischievously employed, then, are those\u2014of what treachery to their country are they not guilty\u2014who seek to perpetuate dissen- sioas, to prolong feuds, when the origin of them is lust, and the causes by which they were kept in being extioct?How much nobler aud more Christian an occupation for those who have a voice in the guidance of the popular mind, to give les - sons of amity, and present their own conduct as an example! The esample must not be confined to the Government.A similar spirit must pervade the entire community, The Press of Ireland still wears the hue of party, and neglects the highest considerations of morality and true patriotism in theun- profitable wranglings of by gone faction .\u2014 Courier.From the Times.O'CONNELL'S NEW PROJECT.We see with great concern,that Mr, O\u2019Conuell is opening a new chapter of agitation, whose object dues not even pretend to be a redress of grievances, in the pursuit of which there is notany chance that enlightened and public spirited men would join lim, buton the contrary, that he throws out a lure to vevolutionists and incendiaries, by holding up as an attainable benefit for Ireland, a violation of that solemn compact with Great Britain, which every subject of both Islands, who either comprehends or feels for their commun interest, will maintaio with his life and fortune.That the union was incomplete without emancipation, we have at all times, and under every change of circumstance, asserted ; and indeed each was the precise principle on which the bill for the relief GAZETTE DE QUEBEC.of the Catholics was at last carried into n law.But what, on the otlier haud, would be Emancipation without a uniou ?It whould be the surrender of the whole church und state in Ireland into the bands of another Catholic Association\u2014an arrangement, na doubt, very flattering to one or more of those men to whose mandates the Catholic body bas hitherto pald implicit obedience, but in no degree, that we can perceive advantogeous to Ireland, orto the majority of Irish Catholics.Nor arethe muouer and form in which this new project has been broached less objectionable than the project itself.Au osteutatious reference is made to the year \u20181752,\u2019 and to the \u2018Irish volunteers ;* thus intimating at once that the thing desired is one which iovolves a dispute with Eu- gland, and that the \u2018achievement of national independence,\u2019 or in other words, a repeal of the union, is to be carried, if necessary, by a recourse to \u2018volunteers\u2019 in arms.\u2014\\We are sorry to observe this apparently setiled purpose of raising new quarrels the very moment at which an old one has been composed, as if there were some person to whom a state of tranquillity would be fatal, and some selfish passious for the indulgence of which every hope of untional industry, comfort and prosperity, must be given up.This scheme, bow- ever, of mounting the \u2018\u201crepeal of the union npon tbe worn out apparatus of 1742, andenlisting a modern army of volunteers for the dissolution of tbe British and Irish.monarchy, will fail as surely ns a plan would fail for detaching the country north of the Trent, or that west of the Severn, from the remaining part of Britain.Emaucipation succeeded, because it was the joint interest of Catholic and Protestant, of rick and poor, that it should be peaceably accom plished; and ithad justicesnd the approval of every statesman in both countries to plead.The dissolution of the empire has to argument to rest upon, but perhaps, that two or three individuals might fill a comparatively larger space as the field of action became more limited, and be cousidered more important personages in a local Parliament than in an Assembly where Icish attainments were uot uurivalled, and where Irish politics held only a secondary place.The Catholic aristocracy of \\reland and the gentry, the Catholic tradespeople and men of busivess, who have formed close connexions with their brethren in this country, will think twice before they join in a wild goose cliase forseparation from Jiogland.Had Mr, O\u2019Connell judged bis time more skilfully, le would bave thrown out feelers for a repeal of the Union before the Catbo lic body had obtained the rights of citizens.What sane Catholic will now care one straw about a separation, whence he would gain vothing which he does not already enjoy; but of a *volunteer\u2019 struggle for which, the ouly certain effect would be the utter destruction of all who were mad enough to engage in it, apd the reforging for Ireland of every chain and badge whieh could stamp tbe condition ¢f a conquered and ruined people.FOREIGN.PREVATURE INTERMENT.\u2014The Messager des Chambres, a Paris Paper, has the following distressing account of pre- nature interment; \u2014 Instances of this kind are.it is said.af fr-quent occurrence in France, aud itis melaucho!y to find that uli the exertions which have been made by phi.anthropists to procure n chan ge tu the system have been unavaiding.lois generally une derstood that, by the French law, all persons pronounced to be dead by the in-pecting wedical olficers are to beinterred as «oon as 48 hours have elapsed (rom the time of decease, There is resson, howev:r, to believe that such was not the intention of the framers of this law, but that it was intended, in order to prevent premature in erment, thatthe body should noc be Buried BNI AC er 40 houro Nad reread Durinz the A dininistrarion of the Duke Decrzes a Scotcn physician, Dr.M*Nab, who had resided many years in France, a idie-sed a memorial on this subject to the Ministry, in which he reluied more than 50 cases of premature interment, and pointed out to the Ministry the real nature of the law, as he understood it, and its infraciion by the police authorities, by which a provision, intended (0 be for the interests of huingnity, had been made productive of the most calamitous resalis, The subject was taken up with great warmth by the Duke Decazes, and was by him referred to the faculty of medicine, with ap earnest recommendation that the benevolent views of the memorialist should be duly considered.The report of the faculty upon this memorial was, however, unfavoura- bte to Dr.M¢Nab, und .he Minisier was compelled to abandon the inteatiou which he entertained of reforming a system under which so many instances of premutu-e burial had oc- Cutred.Since that time viherattempts with similzarresults have beea made; butit is to be hoped that the calamitoss instance now recorded, added to oitheis which hive recently been witnessed, wiil induce the Government, with or without the concurrence of the faculty of medicive, 10 make some arrangement by which the possibility of piemature burial will be entirely avoided: \u2014 A leiter from Pont-a Mousson, in the department of Meur- the, say» that on the 7th of November, a living man was in tered in that city; and the Courrier de la Moselle, of the 19h, gives the following praticulurs on the subject:\u2014An officer on balf-pay, who resided ac Pont-a-Mousson, fell into a profound lethargy, and it appears thai be was buried at the expiration of only 36 hours, in violation of the regulations which exist upon the subject of intercieuts, as they direct that 48 hours should elapse.- When the u-ual prayers were finished, the body was taken to the cemetery where it was to be buried, but the mourners had hardly retired, and the grave was but half fllled up, when stifled sounds were beard to proceed from the cotlin, and the grave dizg-rs were dreadiully alarmed.One of them, instead of giving immediate assisiance himself, ran to the Commissary of Police, and :ha wretched viciin was left for three quarters of an hour, When the coffin was at length opened, the unfortunate oflicer was found with one hand at the back of his head, and the blood was iseuing from his mouth, The medical man who atiended endeavoured to bleed him, but only a few drops of blood issued.He then burnt one of Lis fiuge:s, but this operation did not produce any signs of life, which bad evidently been extinguished in the most horrible manner.lt apnesrs beyond doubt that, if the police regulations had been fulfilled, the sufferer would not have lout his life ; because, at the end of two or ihree hours, which sufficed for the performance of the funeral obsequies, the lechargy would, perhaps, have ceased.The reason for this supposition is, tha: ifan accidental cau-e were sufficient to terminate the lethargy, it was most likely the shock which the sufferer received, or the noise he heard during the transport of the coffin from bis residence to the church, and from the church to the buryiug-ground.Be this as it may, the agents of authority were certainly greatly in fault; and if they had taken the necessary precautions they wonld have saved the life of a fellow creature.It is to be hoped, however, that the occurrence will teach them take such measures as will prevent (he recurrence ~fso ota dful a calawity.141 a UNITED STATES.WASHING TON, Jan.8th, 1830, Last night the President gave a levee, which was very generally and fashionably attended.He appears to be in good health and fine spirits.He was surrounded by most of the distinguished men ian this capital, Mr.Culboun, Mr.Van Buren, Mr.Speaker Stevenson, the Attorney General, Mr.Eston, Mr.logham, &c.1 did not see Mr.Barry.A greut number of interesting ladies aud pretty girle attended, who (as they always do, on such occasions) gave spirit and animation to the pleasures of the evening.Nothing but grace und good fevling prevailed\u2014all seemed to be at home, which io fact they were, and none can feel otherwise in the presence of the good old General.We are all going toa Ball to-night in honor nf the great victory achieved by the General at Orleans.| think we sbalk have a merry time.January 9th.The Ball last night was splendid\u2014the elegance Jf the company was unrivalled.About eight o'clock General Jackson entered the room in his ordinary, plain and easy manner, when the whole company eagerly seized the opportunity of tendering to him their hearty greetings, The ladies were beautifully dressed, and quite agreeable.¢ Puor young Baclielors,\u201d\u201d maby of their hearts bleed to-day.\u2014r>=\u2014 From the Westchester, (N.Y.) Herald.New State Prison at Sing Sing.\u2014 That important state work is now in a great measure completed, and the Commissioners for building the Prison have terminated their duties with the past year.This prison, as before stated, comprises 800 dormitories of solitary cells, is four stories high, and occupies about 50 by 500 feet of grouud.From each end of the main building which stands parallel with the Hudson river, in a westerly direction, are carried out wings, designed tohe when completed 300 feet in extent, which will form a spacious inner yard open only to the river.The wings are coustructed for workshops, a chapel, kitchen, hospital, &c.On the north side, 230 feet, the work shops are completed, all ¢f marble, except the upper beams and floors\u2014and on the south, the kitchen, hospital and chapel are finished, The chapel is 40 by 50 feet, and is contemplated to hold 900 persons.The keeper's house on the southeastern end of the main building 40 by 50 feet, has also been constructed of marble, and is in a state of forwardness.During the last 14 mouths, from the Ist of Nov.1828 to Dec 31, 1828, about 60,1100 have been expended in support of convicts, paying for their transportation to prison, keeper's salaries removing earth and materials, and completing buildings, &e.There are at preseut 582 men in the prison; 14 have died during the past year, three of them by easuality, and the residue of diseases contracted previous to their reception in prisog The whole amount of expenditure, from the commencemean of the prison in May, 1825, to the present time, has been about equal to the appropriations for this object, whieh have been about D175,000.The prisou henceforth will be under the Provisions of the Revised Statutes relative to prisons, and i to be governed by a board of Inspectors, &c, We are gratified at the completion of this work, and confidently believe, that with proper management, this establishment will be found a source of revenue ivstead of expense, to the state.COLONIAL.From the New-Brunswick Royul Gazette.THE BOUNDARY LINE.We arc anxinus to seize every opportunity whith may pre.Sent Îlself vf contributing towards a clear and satisfactory set - tlement of this great question.Since therefore the decision of the Royal Umpire must exclusively refer, as we humbly conceive, to the proper meaning and constitution of the Treaty of 17383, we beg leave to cnquire of all our readers if they can throw any additionai light on the following points.1.Did the negociators of the Treaty of 1783 actually understand hy ¢ the River St.Croix,\u201d the identical river which pow bears that name ?2.When they spoke of ¢¢ the River St.Croix,\u201d did they refer to a spring, the precise situation of which was thea mutually recognized ; or to one which was to be ascertained by subsequent exploration ?3.How far ought the two Governments to be considered as committed by subsequent agreements and proceedings with respect to the source ef the St.Croix ?4, Was the Boundary Line, according to the sense of the negociators, of 1783, intended to cross any river betwern \u201cthe St.Croix,\u201d and ¢ the North West aogle of Nova Scotia?\u201d 5.Had any point of land, previously to 1783, been described and recoguized as ** the North West angle of Nova Scotia 2°?We have our opinion ou these points, and we thiak also that we perceive some evidence in our favour to which perhaps due regard may not yet have been paid.But we are desirous of availing onrscives\u2014or, (we would rather say) of oBrain- ING FOR OUR COUNTRY THE BENEFIT\u2014of the statements and judgment of others who are probably much better qualified to speak on the question.\\We would call thercfore upon every person in New-Brunswick aud the Sister

of the Merchants of Kingston, relative to the negociations now in progress between our Government and the American Minister, Mr.M\u2018Lane, winch are said to have for their end, very important concessions to the people of the United States\u2014coucessions intimately affecting the presen interesis and future welfare of these Pri« vinces.It will be observed that the Merchanis have besougt.t the interference of the [Provincial Legislature, in order to prevent, if practicable, the evils that will follow the propu- sed alterations in the existing airangement., and we hope that similar petitions will be prefeire by ail the Merchants and Agricultarists ofthe Province ; for itis those twn classes of our inhabitants which are most directly concerned in the matter.The Farmers may rely on it, that, if the inteicourse between the United Staiesand the Briiish West 1ndies should be reestablished on its former footing, they will jusianily and 142 THE QUEBEC GAZETTE, most sensibly experience the effacis of that most impolitie measure, an they should therefore mest in every County, and without delay make kpown their sentimen:g and wishes to the Legislature, thiough their respective Representatives.Wiih respect to the free and unlimited navigation of the River St.Lawrence, we saw that the grasping cupidity of our neighbours would claim it as aright.The New Fork Spec tater, with wonderful modesty tells ug, that the United States hope to obtain their right, i.e.the right of navigating the St.Lawrence, by PEACEABRE means, although the Emperor of Russia obtained his right to navigate the Hellespont by the sworp., We trust that there isyet some difference bejween Edgland and Turkey.atleast we should feel inclised to consider any comparison between them jyst as absurd, as that celebrated ung instituted by Fluellen between Macedo- via and Moumouth.Neither does the comparison hold good between Russia and the Uuited Statés.hatever may be the diplomatic triumphs of American cunning and artifice over the plain straighi-forward honesty and bluntness of goud old John Bull, we believe our neighbours will hardly venture to threaten an appeal to the sword, in vindication of their pretended rights.We think they should, while asserting their rights remember that we also fancy that we have rights on our side equally dgar and precious, and equally worthy to be maintained atall hazards.¢ Ata Meeting of (he Merchants of this place held to day at the Court House, to take jntoe consideration the intelligence lately received of negociations being in progress at London between the American Minister and His Majesty 8 Government, respecting the West ludia Trade, and the navigation of tbe River St.Lawrence, when John Kirby Esq.was cho- seg as Chairman, and James Nickalls, Juor, as Secy.it was unanimously Resolved, 1.That ihe resolutions adopted by the Montreal Committee of Trade on the 24th day of Dec.last do fully express the sentiments of this Meeting, as well upon the general impolicy of ra-establishing a direct intercourse between the United States and the Britith West Indies, ason\u2019 the injurious effects which such a concession, if made by His Majesty's Government, would specially entail on thre rising prosperity of the North American Colonies.2 4» Resolved, Thatthe free navigation of the River Saint Lawreuce, cannot, in the opinion of this Meeting, be granted to the citizens of the United States, without seriously affecting the best interests of the Canadian people, who should be secured in the exclusive enjoyment of the carrying trade within their own boundary.8.« Resolved, That a petitlon be presented to the Legislature of the Province, expres:ing the hope of this Meeting that they will endeavor to avert the evils, with which the Province is tureatened by the anticipated result of the ne.gociations now peuding beiween the King\u2019s Government, & the Government of the United States.; 4.** Resolved, That the said petition be iransmitted to the Member representing the town of Kingston, together with a copy of the proceedings of the Montreal Committee of Trade, and a copy of the present Resolutions, and that he be requested to lay the whole before the Honorable Legislative Coun- cifand the House of Assembly, and urge the importance of immediately and earnestly representing, to His Majesty\u2019s Ministers, the great and extensive injury they will inilict on the \u2018North American Colonies, by inaking the concessions now reported to be the subject of diplomatic di-cussion at Loadon.JoxN Krrsy, Chairman.James

Legislative Council Chamber, and being seated on the Throne, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent down to the House of Assemblyto command their attendance before \u2018His Excellency, and that House being come up, His Excellcucy was pleased to open the third Session of the THIRTEENTH PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT with the fol- lowlng Speech : Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, Gentlemen of the Assembly, 1 have called you together at a time, which 1 believe to be the best suited both to your private convenience, and the Public Service ; and, it affords me sincere pleasure to have it in my power to congratulate you on the rosperous state of the affairs of the Province.; Under the Blessing of Divine Providence, the distress which was s0 severely felt at this time last year, is no longer experienced s and the scarcity which then prevailed, has, fortunately, excited among the inhabitants of the country, a spirit of active industry in their Agricultural occupations, which cannot fail to be attended with the bappiest effects.J J Commerce has been carried on more extensively than usual, during the past year, and with more activity and enterprize.The Provincial Revenue has also encreased ;\u2014and arrangements have been nade for the security of the Public Monies, in the hands ef the Receiver General, conformable to the Communication made to you in the last Session, \"It will be gratifying to you also to learn, that Elementary Schools have been very generally established throughout the Province ;\u2014That great progress hasbeen made in the Improvement of the Internal Communica tions ;\u2014and, that facilites have been affurded to all classes of Hia Majesty's subjects, to settle on the Waste Lands of the Crown.Measures have also been taken for the erection of New Light-Houses 3 and, for promoting the various objects of Public Improvement, for which provision wus so liberally made in thelast Session.It has been my earnest endeavour, to see that the bounty of the Provincial Parliament was not misapplied ; and I have, with that view, established such regulations, as ap- peanad to be necessary, for guarding against abuses, and or ensuring a faithful and judicivus expenditure of the ublic Money.Public 20 on all these subjects will be laid before you, for your information, and you will probably be of opinion, that \u2018the Acts passed in the last Sesssion, ¢ for the encouragement of Elementary Education,\u201d \u2018and *\u2018 for erécting Light Houses in the St.Lawrence,\u201d require revision, Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, The Accounts of the Provincial Revenue and Expenditure forthe last year, will be laid b:fore you, as soon as possible, and every information afforded you respecting theni, which you may require.Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, Gentlemen of the House af Assembly\u2014 It will be my duty to convey to you, by Message, à communication which I have received His Majesty\u201d commands to make to you, upon the subject of the Financial Question which has given rise*o so much controversy in the Province ; and, I will now submit to your consideration, such matters of public interest as I conceive will be conducive to the general welfare of the people of this loyal Colony.The state of the Currency is a subject which demands your attention ; the adoption of some measure appearing to be necessary, to prevent the circulation of Pistareens, and other small Silver Coins, at a nominal value, greatly exceeding.their intrinsic worth :\u2014It is also most desirable, that Legislative provision be made to ensure the circulation of British Silver Money, within this Province atits real value, His Majesty\u2019s Government having sen out a considerable quantity of such Money, with a view to its circulation, and, to its ultimately becoming the Circulating Medium of the Colony : 1 recommend the subject to your serious consideration.I would also suggest the expediency of passing a | aw.for the qualification of Justices of the Peace, adapted to the situation and circumstances of the Colony ; the qualification being moderate, and either in Real Estate, or in Personal Income.The erection of Court-Houses and Gaols, in some of the most populous Counties of the Province, (when desired by the Inhabitants,) is another measure which I would recommend to your consideration ; but, 1 will communicate to you, by Message, my ideas on this subject.Lvils having been experienced by the introduction of contagious diseases into the Province, it may be expedient to guard against calamities of this kind, by some suitable enactment.The unfitness of the Gaol at Montreal as a place of confinement, for so populous a district, has been frequently brought under your consideration ; and, I trust that the Session will not close, without provision being made, cither for the erection of a new Gaol, or fora Penitentiary, where criminals may be kept at hard labour, apart from prisoners who are confined previous to their trial, I suggested to you, by His Majesty\u2019s command, in the last Session, the expediency of levying a small tax upon such tracts of land as remain in a waste and unimproved condition ; and also of establishing Offices for the Regist ation of Deeds, and to these subjects, it ismy duty again to call your attention.The pressure of business in the last Session, prevented your maturely considering several matters of Public Importance, that came under your deliberation : but I feel persuaded that they will now engage your early attention: and you may rely on my cordial concurrence in all measures, which have for their object the general welfare of the Province, and the happiness of His Majesty\u2019s Canadian subjects.\u2014\u2014\u2014pe\u2026e\u2014 ADDRESS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.To His Fxcellency Sir JAMES KEMPT, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Batli, Livuteuant General and Commander in Chief vf all His Majesty\u2019s Forces in the Provinces of Lower Cunada and Upper Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, and their several dependencies and in the Island of Newfoundland, and Administrator of the Government ot the said Province of Lower Canada.May it please Your Excellency, We, His Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Council of Lower Canada, in Provincial Par- liameut assembled, beg leave to return Your Excellency our humble thanks for your Speech from the Throne, and for your kind consideration in having called us together at a period, the best suited to our private convenience as well as to the public service.We contemplate with great satisfaction, the prosperous state of the affairs of the Province, and are deeply grateful t Divine Providence for the removal of the distress which was so severely felt at this time last year, but which has fortunately been the cause of exciting, among the inhabitants of the country, an encreased spirit of agricultural industry, calculated to produce the happiest effects.The more than usual extension of commerce during the last year, and the consequent augmentation of the Provincial Revenue, the establishment of Elem: ntary Schools, and the great pfogress which has been made in the improvement of the internal communications, are subjects of heartfelt congratulation to all who feel interested in the welfare of the Province.We are thankful for the facilities which have been afforded to all classes of His Majesty\u2019s subjects, to settle on the Waste Lands of the Crown, and for the measures which have been taken for the erection of new Light Houses and for promoting the various objects of public improvement, for which provision was made in the last Session of the Legislature.Our best acknowledgments are due to Your Excellency for your earnest endeavours to prevent tlie bounty of the Provincial Parliament from being misapplied; and we learn with great satistaction, that Your Excellency has adopted such regulations as appear to be necessary for the s:curity of the Public Monies, in the Receiver General\u2019s chest.The details on all these subjects which Your Excellency purposes to lay before us, will, we trust, enable us to judge how far the acts passed in the last Session, for the encouragement of Elementary Education, and for erecting Light Houses in the River St.Lawrence, may require revision.We shall receive with the most respectful attention, the communication which, by His Majesty's command, Your Excellency has been i:istructed to make to us upon the subject of the Financial question, which unfortunately, has given rise to so much controversy in this Province, and which it is our earnest desire to see brought to a final and satisfactory conclusion.The state of the Currency, and the adoption of measures for inproving the circulating medium of the colony, are objects of great importance; and will receive our deliberate consideration, as will also Your Exceltency\u2019s suggestion relative to the passinga law for the qualification of Justices January 28 of the Peace, adapted to the situation and circumstances.of the colony, the qualification being moderate and either in real estate or in personal income.We are sensible that the erection of Court Houses and Gaols in some of the most populous counties of the Province, when desired by the inhabitants, would be of great publie utility, and we shall receive the communication of Your Excellency\u2019s ideas upon this subject, by message, with respectful attention.We are also aware that the Gaol at Montreal is in a state which renders it insuflicient as a place of confinement for prisoners as well before as after conviction ; und that a Penitentiary, where criminals aftey conviction might be kept at hard labour, apart from prisoners who are confined previous to their trial, would have the, happiest effect ; and we shall be disposed to concur in any constitutional measures that may advance these objects.The means of preventing the introduction or spreading of contagious diseases in the Province is also a subject to which we shall give our serious attention.The expediency of levying a small tax upon such tracts of land as remain in a waste and unimproved condition, which, by His Majesty\u2019s command, Your Excellency suggested to the Legislative bodies in the last Session, and also the establishment of Offices for the registration of Deeds, are subjects of peculiar importance, as affording a powerful means tor enforcing and encouraging the scttlement of such lands, and we shall readily concur in any Legislative enactment calculated to attain so desirable an object.By reminding us of the several important matters that were brought under deliberation daring the last Session, but upon which, the pressure of public business prevented us from comirg to a final determination, Your Excellency has shown how much you have at heart the welfare of the Province; and it is but justice to add, that it has already derived essential advantage from your wise and upright administration; and that we anticipate with inexpressible satisfaction, the success of Ycur Excellency\u2019s endeavours for promoting the prosperity of this loyal Colony.To which His Excellency was pleased to return the following answer : Gentlemen,\u2014I return yuu my sincere thanks for this Address.The sentiments conveyed in it afford me the highest satistaction, and it will be, to me, a source of great grati fication, if ny endeavours to promote the prosperity of the Province, should have the result which you anticipate.ESS.ADDRESS OF THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, TuEsDAY, 26th Jany.1890.This day at two o'clock, Mr.Speaker and the House went up to the
