hot exponding the money geanted last year ; but éeetng the sum was so small and tsufh- cient lor such an undertaking, he probably thought 1t was better tu leave it for another year, for it is bad poltey to expend small sums upon such heavy works As to West Post whart, Edo not know bat Mr. Alley took the best plan, Ue built the outside blocks first, probably to see if they would stand, and | aim credibly informed that they have stood well; consequently there wil be more en- couragement to go on and finish the work.

lion. Mr. Mutnneap: Ido vot see what is the use of that bill if merchants want ty do an honest trade, for flour cau be brought as cheaply by the St. Lawrenee as by way of Portland.

lion. Mr, Lorw: There is no communication by that route, and l presume thet, as aa arrangement has been entered into with the ownere of the steamboats to bring it here, at & certain rate, the bille of lading will be signed in Canada. It is very troublesome ta have to be going to the Custom Hous: and to have to pay for those certificates.
