Now this secreey to keep the tenants in ignorance of their position, and the interference with arbi- trators te defeat the ends of justice, is unconsti- | tutional, and therefore the despatch must have | been petitioned for, over and over again, to give the proprietary authorities the power they had already exercised in dictating to the Commis- sieners What they must not do or say; and con- sequently, to dictate what they desired them to do and say. Therefore, there is good reason to believe that both the Award and the Loan were dietated to for both opposed to the Commissioners’ recommendation

pledged themselves at the formation of the present Government to the very measure against which they have now spoken and voted ; and—if possible —to make their antagonism all the more promi- nent, on a measure in which the chief men in the Opposition voted with the Government. We reter in particular to the Initiation of money votes. On the particulars of this measure we cannot now evter. It simply meave, that the Goverment should hold the purse strings in reality and not in name, and be responsible to the country for the expenditure. Never can the financial affairs of the Colony be regulated properly, without such a system; and yet these sage legislators opposed the measuae as a restriction on the liberties of the people! It is surely better that a steward, deemed faithful and appointed to superintend an estate, should have exclusive control of the expenditure, rather than allow every servant about the estab- lishment to put his hand in the purse for what he may consider needful.

“The constituents of these gentlemen, can no longer overlook their conduct. In honor, only one of two courses is open,—having ceased to have centidence in the wisdom and fideiity of the Government, they ought to go over at once co the Opposition, and no longer annoy and distract the Govermnent by their misnamed independence. In this case, as honorable men they ought to report their conduct to their constituents, and resign their seats if any dissatisfaction was manifested, and then run their elections in favor of the Opposition. If they do not go over to the Opposition, they ought immediately to retrace their steps, and give a hearty support to every really Government measure. Failing to do either, their course is anything but satisfactory or honorable; and thei constituents would be justified in asking them to resign as no longer representing their opinions or

In the Lords, on Monday, Lord Stratheden ventilated the question of the recognition of the Southern Confederacy; and, in advocating the acknowledgement, went through the arguents which, from frequent repetition, have become patent. Earl Russell, in reply, ad- hered firmly to the principle of neutraiity, lament. ed the injury which the war was doing to America and the civilized world, and contended that thew duty under existing circumstances, is obivions, whatever, might be our conviction as to the un- conquerable spirit of the South, or that the destruction of the American Union was final er irrevocable. In conclusion, his lordship hinted that the question of slavery stood in the way of recognition. On Tuesday, Earl Skafisbury, man interrogation, called attestion to the insurrection in Poland. Earl Russell acknowledged that he had receied information as to the arrest of certain Poles by Prussia on their way from Paris, and subseqnentiy a despatch from Berlin apprised the Foreign-Office that the Polish students had been claimed as naturalised subjects of France.

arrive. There is an increase of 25 per cent. or the ad valorem duties ; an addition of 4d. pergallon on molasses; 1s. per ewt. on Sugar; and 14. per lb. on Tea. This is a very sweeping increase — greater, we believe, than obtains in the neigh- houring Provinces, and will affect the poorer classes in the community very seriously. The rich, and all who ean indulge in luxuries, have come in fora very favourable consideration at the hands of the Legislature: as, for instance, in the reduction of 3s. per gallon on French wines, which

quizzing, in the newspapers, is likely to bring 4 member iato contempt, we think the editor of the Weekly should be brought to the Bar of the House on a question of privileges. We have had no amusement of this kind for some days past; and, altogether, the “questions of privilege” tried dur- ing the Session do not, perhaps, exceed a dozen. As to the threatened duel, the “hon. member for Tryon” is one who firmly believes that the “age of chivalry is past;” and his anxious friends may be assured that he will never expose himself to an encounter with cold iron, should any fool dream of provoking him to one.
