Fire asp Loss or Lire at Kitpare, Lor 3.— A house at Kildare, Lot 3, belonging to a Mr. James Fitzgerald, was burnt down on Friday the 12th ult., to- gether with every article of furniture it contained ; and, what is melancholy to add, a child of two years of age was destroyed in the fire—the mother who was endea- vouring to save her other children, thinking the infant was outside of the house instead of being in it. The unfortunate father was from home at the time.

Mr. Duncan Macrean, having found that Letters published in the “ Islander,” bearing his own name, can exercise no influence on public opinion, because of his notorious merdacity,—has caused to be inserted in the Islander of Friday a letter signed “Master Brooks,” and falsely dated from King’s County. It purports to be a reply to Mr. Warburton’s letter published in Tue Ex- AMINER some weeks since, and is so full of misrepresen- tation, that we are, reluctantly, constrained to defer re- plying to it till next week. We do not hesitate to as- eribe “ Master Brooks” to Duncan Maclean, for his ugly phiz is manifest in every sentence.

Canaptat PaRgEIAMENT.—The Parliament of Canada met at Montreal on Thursday, the V8th inst. The Governor General, in his speech on the opening of the session, states, that it is the purpose of the Queen to exercise the prerogative of mercy in favour of all per- gons who are still liable to penal consequences for poli- tical offences, arising out of the unfortunate occurrences ef 1837 and 1838 The restrictions imposed on the use of the French language are removed by an Act of the Imperial Parliament. Assurance is given that steps will be taken for conferring upon the Provincial authorities the entire control and management of the Post Office department, and a hope is expressed that will be found practicable to establish a low and uniform rate of postage throughout the Provinces. In regard to the Quebec and Halifax Railway, the Governor says, the officers employed in exploring the country, with the view of discovering the best line of railway to connect these points, have presented a valuable report, which sets forth in a strong light the advantages of the proposed undertaking. The provision of funds for the early com- pletion of the St. Lawrence Canals, is strongly urged

The subjeet of the depressed condition of the commer- cial affairs of the Provinces, forms a leading feature of the Address. The support of common schools is also alluded to, and the expediency of setting apart @ tober of the public domain, in order that the revenue erived from its sale may form a fund, the interest of which shail be applied to their support
