We have reeeive.t by Friday aight’s mail an account of a Public Meeting at New London, at whieh the conduct of the Government in eonnec- tion with the Laud (Question was closely examined and severely censured. Mr. Haslam, M. P. P., | appeared as the chumpion ef the Government; but according tu the language of the P.

Mr. | Naslam is represen (ed as having beeu dreadfully | worried at the fact of public meetings being held to canvass the eonductof the Government. This, of course, we are pot surprised at. The party in power dread nothir.g so much as a public enquiry inte their conduct, and will de all they can to stile it. But it is too late now.
