TN THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER.

My dear Sir: , On looking over the debates on thie subject of pay to ihe Legislative Council, { perceive Mr. N. Conroy is re-

.

vorted to'‘fhave said, that my ‘only reason for refusing

i

seat, was the expense attending the acceptance of that! tice. The same reason has been assigned for Mr. ‘sreen’g refusal to serve. | hag other reasons for refusing a seat in the Legis- «tive Council than the one assigned by Mr. Conroy; the /xpense of attending the Executive Council (of which J) ‘fa @ member) is greater, in my opinion, than that of attending the Legislative Council, and by far more troublesome; and it is a well-known fact, as you will -ee by the enclosed circular, that Mr. Green was appoint- | ed to the Legislative Council, and that he never resigned ais seat at the Council Board—he was excluded by m arbitrary order of Sir Charles Fitzroy—because he ‘vould not pay 401. for a mandamus to be. permitted to serve. In fact, he is excluded from the Council (having never to this day resigned his seat) contrary to the oyal Instructions, it being out of the Governor’s power ‘o dismiss any member of that body without previously aving obtained Her Majesty’s order to doso.

While writing on this subject, I may as well remark ‘hat Tam confident ‘the inhabitants of this District have no desire to see any part.of the public money granted to vay members of the Legislative Council. I have no doubt men of property and standing in the country might ve found to serve without pay.

We understand that Her Majesty has been pleased to confirm the, Hon, Charles Young’s appointment to the office of. Queen’s Counsel. The memorial from the zentlemen .of the long robe, opposed to Mr. Young's

The Austrian troops and the students of Padua have come into collision, and the result has been that up- wards of 100 persons have been killed and wounded.
