Where, sir, is the intluence, the boasted influence of the Tory and Proprietory Government ! Where, I would ask, is the promise made by Colo- nel Gray, the originator of tais scheme, when he stated in his place on the tloor of the House that the Commission would do in eight months what the late Government failed to accomplish ineight years? The organ of the Government tells the country that the House of Assembly will pass a Bill confirming the Award, and the Duke tells the Governor thai tne Loan and arbitration clauses of the Award cannot receive the Imperial allowance. the people naturally ask, what is the House of As- eembly going to confirm —the Land holders’ titles, and yive up the quitrents, crown reserves, &c.

Under these circumstances, it is the duty of the Governor to dissolve the House immediately, and

constitutionally on tuis all important question ; and in expressing an opinion, I um confident I state the opinion of three-fourths of the electors in the Co lony. Ihave conversed with men of all shades of vpinion aince the publication of the Award, and all adinit that a dissolution is the only constitutional ineans for the Governor to adopt.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE OF ag. SEMBTY — THE AWARD.

THE most prominent teature in the proceedings of the House during the past week was the de cision given in favour of the vbnoxious Award of the Land Commission. That decision is pretty well known through the Island now, except in remote settiemnents ; aud as we fully prepared our readers to expect that the prest Proprietary House of Assembly would confirm an Award that is calculated to secure advantages to none but the proprietors, very little surprise will be felt. The debate on this subject commenced on Monday morning, and was continued down to Tuesday evening; and we think it is unnecessary to ob- serve that no successful attempt was made to show that the tenantry can possibly derive much advantage from the Award, even should it go inte

in state navigation will be rigidly tested, before al- lowed to drop the anchor of their ambition in the haven of safety.

During the past weck, the musical portion of this community has had several opportunities of feasting their appreciation for the sublime and the beautiful the pathetic and the marvellous, in enjoying the “flow of soal’’ emanating from vocal and instramen- | talconcerts. The Institute has been filled with admi- rers of the enchanting art, invited there by the ope- rations of a fine military band—a rare kind of thing in St. John—and by the less assuming but attractive charms of a group of fair youngamateurs. I canne! enumerate any part of the programme, but it was. doubtless, arranged with jadgment, executed with accuracy, and received with approval. The most successful of those entertainments, and the most ge- nerally eulogised, has been the Sacred Concert per- formed in the Cathedral by its celebrated choir, under the superintendence of Prof. Cohnan. On this occasion the audience has been computed at the naaber of twothousand. The choir consists of Mr. Cohnan and his family, recently from Philadelphia, and some members of the Cathedral congregation— one of whom is my learned friend Mr. Grattan Clif. fore, a most worthy young man, bat one whom I would humbly rec ito ¢ in self-sufficiency and importance to be tolerably
