By this arrangement, the exhibitors will have the farewell view of the Crystal Palace, and a deference is thus shown to their la- bours and their sacrifices on its behalf. which. we are sure, they will not be slow to appreciate. \Vith a view to render- ing the ceremony ofthe I5th as imposing as the circumstances will permit Mr. Fox, the eminent contractor, has addressed a letter to the Executive Committee, offering the services of the Sacred Harmonic S ' ‘y in assembling 1,500 performers on the occasion, the whole to be conducted by Mr. Costa.

OCTOBER 21. 1851. ‘ 11' has often occurred to us, that the Administration are not aware that, at the approaching Session of the General Assembly, the Members who compose thol minority will each of them be furnished with a set of’; interrogatories, and that the Ministry will be subjected? to an ordeal of cross questioning which, unless they are well prepared with good and sufficient answers to, will render their position somewhat uncomfortable, if not embarrassing. As the Members of the Cabinet have to bear all the responsibility ofthe acts of the Govern- ment, there will he no giving the go by to any investi- gation which the opposition may choose to institute, and this is certainly the principal advantage to be derived from the adoption of the system. The news- papers may rail and call for explanations as long as they choose, and the Rulers for the day may main- tain what they may think a dignified silence under the circumstance of the pressure from without; but that silence, dignified or uudignified, must, on the boards of the House, he succeeded by satisfactory explanations and convincing proofs, if the cases need them. Among the numerous and fertile sources of enquiry, which the conduct of the present Administration has given rise to, there will be one which we think will, and unhesi- tatingly say ought to, meet them at the threshold, if we may so speak, of the Session. We allude to the hold- ing of the Elections in Prince County, on the occasions of Messrs. Wurburton, Pope and Fraser, being sent back to their constituents, in consequence of accepting places of cmolumcnt under Government. Let us ima- gine a member requiring of Mr. Coles, how it happened that there were three several days for holding the Sheriff's Courts instead of one, as expressly ordered by the Election Act? Why it was, that the I7th of June, 26th ofJune, and 8th days ofJuly were appoint- ed in the three several writs, instead of the 26th day of June only, which would have been within nine days of the first and eleven days of the last, and a middle term between the two extremes ? What answer can there, we ask, be given for having thus shamefully violated the law, both in the letter and spirit? Among the various improvements upon the Law of Elections, one of the greatest is, the having the Elections to take place on one day throughout the Islrurd; it is cnlcrrlntod to prevent much of that unfair dealing and chicnnery which had always accompanied the old system. Of so much consequence was it held, that not only in the writs for the General Election is the same day directed to be named, but when “ more than one writ shall be “ required to be issued at or about the same time, the “ Sheriff ’s Court for commencing the Election shall be “the same day in all the write to be issued in such “cases.” Now let us come to the test. Were not those writs required to be issued at or about the same time ? The vacancies were of their own creation. The Executive could, in the first place, take care that the new appointments should have been simultaneous, so that the information could have been iven at the same time, and thus the some day named in the writs; and, in the second place, as the necessity of issuing two more writs was fully known at the time of issuing the first, it therefore behoved them to make the r-vt=*- '- duy sufficiently remote, in order to provide for rim»-E unavoidable. contingencies. There was no reason ..~ g ’ the first writ could not have been returnable sixty r: 2, .. after the teste, the second y, and the third forty, and the same day for holding t e Sher-ifl"s Court named in each; or there might have been seventy, sixty, and fifty, for it must be observed that the 7th clause of the Act states, that “there shall be at least forty days,” leaving it—a.nd very properly--in the discretion of the Government to allow as many more days for the return of the writ, as mi ht be necessary for carrying the Act into effect, scco in to the manifest spirit and intention of it. The writ for arbur-ton’s Election is tested Nth April, for Pope’s 6th May, that is within seven days of each other. Now, in common parlance, we should say, that within a week was at or about the some tires, for these two elections not being held on the same day, there is not a shadow of excuse; and even from the 29th April to the End May, the tests of Fraser-'s election, there are but 23 days, ve little better than three weeks, no such very great time, one would think, but quite suflicient, when the deliberate violation of the Act was predetermined on, and the safeguard to a free and fair election to be thrown down and trampled under foot. But it may be said, suppose the question is asked; what then P the answer will be, “ Because we chose to do so, and if you ere’diuplessed with it, move what ru- solution you like and we, having the majority, will at once it ive it." no doubt but that this will be the case, still we trust that the question will be asked. An answer that the Adeiiaistretiou may chose to give, will use. to uni tliuttlieysi-s unlttedto betrustsd witlipower ofsey New although we ourselves have at Government in a legal constitutional mode, they gp. determined to dispense with all laws and all statute. and make their own will the only rule of their roceedi ings. We hope the question will be ask , and a sstisfecto answer insisted upon, because then the people wil see that, instead of having elected represse- tatives, the. have given to themselves siesta-s, who are determine that their constituents shall feel that the are determined to make the most of the “ brief aiithori. ty,” they have been foolish cnou h to invest them with.
