'It is satisfactory to -learn that the British money market had much improved, and that business in the manufac- turing districts was reviving. .

The price of ﬂour had not advanced. The duty on foreign wheat was raised to 20s. 8d. per quarter; on ﬂour, to 12s. per barrel. American ﬂour, in bond, had been sold at previous quotations. _ ' _

The apprehension of riots in the Chartist districts con- tinued—Troops were proceeding from Ireland to England. The death ofthe Archbishop of Paris is mentioned.

The Duke of Devonshire has just performed an act of princely munilicence, which ought to be generally known. There was owing to his Grace a sum of £20,000 out of tithes in Ireland, a dividend on which, amounting to £7,000, was payable, and this he madeover to a fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of deceased clergy- men.

An expedition, under the orders of Captain Trotter, R. N. in which three iron steamers are to be engaged, is, we understand, about to be ﬁtted out, to proceed up the Niger.

Sr. JOHN, N. 3., Pill. 29.

Lord John Russell’s famous Despatch, of the 16th of October last, was under consideration in the House of Assembly on Thursday, but several ofthe members being absent, the debate was postponed to next day. \Ve have been favoured by Mr. Woodward, member for this City, with copies of three sets of Resolutions submitted on Thursday, which we subjoin.

Laid on the Table by Mr. J. R. Partelow—

1. Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that the sentiments expressed by the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, in his despatch, now under consideration, so far as regards the high obligations due from the provincial functionaries alluded to, to support the Colonial Adminis. trator, should afford the House every satisfaction, such' support being absolutely necessary to form a strong, efﬁcient and vigorous government.

2. Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that the House should reiterate the almost unanimous deliberate opinions recorded by them in 1837, carrying out the principle laid down by Lord Glenelg and then referred to, that the Executive Council should be composed of persons possessing the conﬁdence of the country at large, and that the cordial sympathy and co-operation of that body are absolutely indispensable to the existence of any system of administration.

3. Resolved, as the opinion ofthis Committee, that the House should see no reason also to depart from their resolution, then almost unanimously adopted, to repudiate the claim set up by another Colony to hold the Executive Council subject to removal by any address, for that pur- pose, from the popular branch ofthe Government, but that in the 'event of the said Council being opposed to any great measure of public policy, approved of by the great mass of the people, favourably entertained by Her Majes- ty's Government, and receiving the sanction of the legis- lature, such opposition would loudly call upon the Re- presentative of Her Majesty's Government, by a loyal and dutiful Address from this House, to cause their removal.

4. Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that the House should entertain the highest confidence in His Excellency’s present Council, and feeling that his Excel- lency would not fail to ask information and advice from persons so intimately acquainted with all the great interests or the country, upon all important matters connected therewith, the House cannot but anticipate that the Colonial Government will be continued to be carried on to the satisfaction and advantage of the Province at large.

5. Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that the Honseshould feel, as they have always done, the neces- sity of the Legislative Council being composed of persons as far as possible independent of the inﬂuence of the Crown, in order that that important branch of the Legis- lature might examine and deliver an unbiassed opinion upon all matters submitted to them; and viewing the pre- sent members of that body, composed as it is generally of persons holding high and lucrative situations under Go. vernment, and many of them the very functionaries mentioned in Lord John Russell’s Despatch, the, House cannot but entertain the opinion thatsome great alteration is necessary, if the principles intended by the despatch are to be carried out by Her Majesty's Government.

Laid-on the Table by Mr. L. A. Wilmet—

1. Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that the despatch ofthe Right Hon. Lord John Russell, under dale ofthe 16th of October last, should be viewed by the peo- ple of this Province as a most gratifying and positive assurance that the Colonial Governments will henceforth be administered in strict accordance with the principles of our revered and glorious Constitution.

'21 Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that all public oﬁicers connected with the executive, should during their continuance in ofﬁce, cordially support thd policy of the Government, and that their continuance in ofﬁce should be taken as a pledge of such support,

3. ‘Resolved, That it is of the greatest importance to the future welfare of this Province that the Leirislative Council should be composed of persOns independeant alike of the Crown and the people, and fairly representing the various leading interests of the Province.

4. Resolved, That by the practical operation of the aforesaid despstch, the independehce of a large portion of the Legislative Councﬂ would be so materially affected, that in the event of a contest between the Executive and popular branches of the Legislature, many of the present members of that Council cannot bring to the consideration
