'nie Steamboat .Hlbion arrived here between five and six o'clock this morning, from Pictou, which she left yesterday at two o’clock. Had to come to anchor fbr several hours ’ on account of the ice. The Hon. James Peake and Daniel

*‘ Brenan, Esq. came passengers in her, having come out by way ' of Halifax in the Columbia,.Steamer. The mail for this from I J England had been forwarded by Cape Termentine, and may ‘ be hourly looked for. London dates to the 3d April have hen received. .

Some settlement of McLeod’s business was eVidently in 1, preparation.

, HOUSE OF LORDS, March 26. The Duke of Argyle gave notice that soon after the recess, he would bring in a bill to settle the difference at present disturbing Idle Church of Scotland. .

HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 29. r t \ NEWFOUNDLAND. . In answer toa question from Mr. Parkin tan, with respect to ' ,. she intention of government, relating togNesvfoundland, Lord 0 John Russell said he was riot prepared to state the course he pro- ;posed to be adopted with respect to the colony; but when recei- I . ved as be expected he would in the course a few Weeks, the tdelptitclics of the governor oftlie colony, regarding the course of v proceedings in the Legislative Assembly, he would then state to e House, in reply to the enquiries made, the course intended to be adopted by the government with regard 'to that colony. March 30. Mr. Parkinglon, in rising to more for a committee to inquire into the affairs ofNewfoundland, disclaimed all wish to criminate l individuals, or to give rise to an acrimonious discussion. The ' hon. member entered upon a detailed statement in support of his " -motion. The population of the island, he said, amounted to be- ‘ ' tween 75,000 and 80,000, of whom aboutonc-lialf were Catholics, .and the other Protestants. Owing to the nature of the climate, Iiiyricultural pursuits were scarcely possible, and all theinliabi- D ' ' ants were in consequence fishermen. He thought the constitu- I s H ‘on had been given prematurely to the colony; but he attributed iii: no blame to the government on that account; for be was aware High” the very arties now most anxious for the abolition, were among fl‘i those origina ly most zealous for its establishment. The number “of the members oftlie Legislative Assembly was only 15, and the greater part of'tlicse were in very humble circumstances. One _"t wasa domestic servant, and another had recently applied flir a ' iaituation as nursery maid for his daughter. It was not tube ex- ityectcd that a small body, composed of men in such a rank oflife, r'iwould conduct the affairs of the colony in a satisfactory manner. T‘I‘his Legislative Assembly had accordingly been guilty of mea- j sures ofextreme violence. They had arrested the Chief Justice and the Sheriff, undera plea thattbey had infringed the privileges oftlie Assembly; and the Governor, in order to obtain the libera- ‘ tion oftbose gentlemen, was obliged to prorogiie the parliament. “The Assembly were also accused ofa misapplicntiun oftlie public '1 some to the promotion of their own political views. The . I, tions too. had been attended by serious riots. At St. John‘s, . wristband impossible to conclude the elections at all, except der the bayonets oftbe military. In a more remote part ofthe ; untry even worse acts of violence had been committed than at . seat ofgovernment. Mr. Parkington read some extracts from > ' speech with which the governor opened the session in Janua- “ ‘ last, on which occasion that officer had expressed doubts whe- _ 'er the scandalous events that had taken place did not justify a ' lit whether the island were yet fit for a legislative system. he motion was theii'ngroed to.
