PLILIAXINTABY REPORTING. The following is on the above subject from the -mu: News. The those and theGal|evy—-or, rather certain members pertaining to these dlviaiona—occesion- allv came into coliidon, and dive was the strife thereof. Mr. Wyndham. at one time, ad a serious dispute. in consequence of an offt-nee lven by speaking disrespectfully of reporters. at the most raeiao Io lltallllofl ofthe kind was the quarrel between that body and O’Conricll 0‘Coutiell's acquaintance with the Gallery was far more intimate than that of any other honorable member. s had recommended several of his clever countrymen to morning papers for employ merit there; and had even acouta among the number to convey to him the information he sun,-ght. By this means he not to ltnritv who tliuindividusl was who had offended him by a report in a morning paper, and addressed a vehe- ntent denunciation against him to the editor. This led to other acts of hmitilily ; and the consc- rprcnce was (as the uhlic may recollect) ilrc entire Gallery tabooed him, and refused to report his speeches. Against tliia league the supreme Agitator struggled for a while; but the coinliin- ation was too strong for him, and the damage at the time too great, to admit of liia holding out; and so he cried pecevi, and peace was restored. Within the last three years we have witnessed the phenomena of members noticing that there were strangers in the Gallery: upon Which ills the boundea omce of the Speaker ‘to _order them to withdraw, and the Gallery is immediately cleared. Upon these occasions very sharp debates have arisen with closed doors, the particulars of which were generally communicated to the excluded reporters b Mr. Hume and other members, friends to t e press, and opposed to this ridicul rue exercise of an obsolete ptivilege--- ; privilege which the cotintry, trotv accustomed ton full and accurate account of Parliamentary proceedings, would not endure in the hands of any petulant and senseless legislator. It is probable we shall never hear of it again; especially as ' |lie last instance, we believe the. gentlemen of the press refused to return to the Gallery. when the messenger announced it wasopen for them. till there was a distinct vote repurliating such iii- corrt-enicnt and obnoxious usage. The next step in the right direction will probably be the passing ofthe bill of Mr. Brotherton, the effect of which will be, that the reporters will remain in the Gallery during the divisiriria : and thus the whole business of Parliament will be patent to the world, without let or hindrance. Everything of late has been tending to this dceirleratum;for it stands to reason that if re- portion is allowed to be done at all, it is most expcrlrr-nt that faciltiea should be aflbrded for aving it done in the best possible manner. Towards this consummation the good sense and the good feeling of the Speaker, who continues tobeslwsvs accessible to any epplicstioir from the newspaper press, has largely contributed. In constructing the Gallery and its neerlful adjuncts in the new House, he had the condesconaiori to invite. and consult with a deputation from the press on the subject, and to direct every Nttention to he paid to their suggestions. There are now, accordingly, not only free ingress and egress at all times for reporters, ready access to their plat“.I30,~l)lll rooms provided with every convenience and comfort are appointed for their usc:and l’r'f'l'sl|lI|EfIll are readily within reach at no other restriction but what depends on the purse.

'1‘nesdey.Iareh 14.1854. Tire Provincial Parliament of Nova Beetle is new baaied with the discussion of a topic which most are ltiag be brought ander the consideration of all the local Legialattises, whose duty it will be carefully to examine into the merits of the different systems pro- posed. sad to proceed cautiously and warily in a rust. ter upon which the" welfare not only of the present inhabitants of these provinces, but that of unborn rnilliona, may depend. It seems to lies point universally conceded, that the period has arrived when these colonies on the continent of North America must exchange their pre- sent atiemalous condition of petty dependencies, with separate local rights aad privileges, for one which, while it preserves these rights and privileges intact, will enable all to act in concert; and, by the combi- nation of the energies of all, place each in a more dignified position than it at present enjoys. The Hon. Mr. Johnston, some time in the last month, gave no- tics of a series of resolutions that he intended to sub- iirit to the consideration of the lfoase;—theee our readers will find antler the head of Nova Scotie. in another part of this paper;-and the debate cones- quent on the resolutions being taken up, has elicited, as it could not fail to do, a higher and more dignified strain of eloquence than colonial topics asnally give occasion for. The following brief notice is given in the Brilult .MrrtIi Jmrican, of the 27th ult., of the speech of Mr. Johnston. in favor of Al Uittosr or wire Non-rrs Aasiriucars Pacvrsrcas :- “Un the 28d nlt., the lion.

NO.VA SCOTIA. \ The following Resolutions were submitted to the Nova Sootis Le islature, by the lion. J. W. Johnston, on the Zgd tilt.:— Resolved, That the Union or confederation of the British North American Colonies on just principles- while calculated to perpetuate the connexion with the arent Stete—ivill tend to their advancement an prosperity, to increase their strength and elevate their position. Resolved, That an humble Address be presented to the Queen, praying Her Majesty's gracious con- sideration of the subject, and the adoption of mea- sures for bringing it under the attention of the Govern- ment and Lcgirilatiiree of Her North American Pro- vinces, and for effecting the Union of Her Majesty's l.o 'lIl Coloiiiee, in a way satisfactory to themselves, and adapted to secure their harnicny, and bring into exercise iheir conaolidrrted strength. Resolved, 'l‘hnt His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, by Address, be respectfully requested to transmit, with his favorable recernmeiidation, the Address of this House to the Queen. to be laid at the font of ilie Throne, and that His Excellency, when the Queen's sanction shall he obtained. will use his inflneticc. to promote the object, by ccrrespoiidence with the Imperial and Colonial governments. rind in sncli other ways as His Excellency niny judge ex- edient.

It isgratifying to think that the public mind is fully prepared. on both sides of the Atlantic, for the calm discussion of this inipor- tant question. Not only the possibility, but the pro. baliility, that these colonies, as soon as with their increase in population and commerce, and with the developtnetit of their internal and external resources, their consideration and importance augmented and became evident, would seek to elevate themselves from the condition of Provinces, unto a station at all events less dependent, and placing them more open a level with the States of the adjoining Republic, has not only been quietly and philosophically discussed; but the conclusion that each a change is one of inevi- table necessity, universally agreed upon. The only question seems to he, as to the manner in which such change shall be effected, and the extent to which it is to be carried. To the adoption of either of the four propositions above mentioned there are difficulties to be overcome peculiar to each, and to some of them these difficulties are, to our mind, inseparable. We are inclined to tliinlr, that there would be a rt-pug. nance, arising from different causes, manifested by each of the different colonies of Canada, Nova Scctia, ‘ New Briinewiclr, and Prince Edward Island, to con. sent to renounce their local Legislatures, and join its ii Legislative Union of the whole. “'0 put New- foundland out of the question in this discussion, for we feel satisfied that Grant Britain will never suffer a eeleiiy which she valnea solely as a nursery for sea,- men to liiivs its interests amalgamated with those of other colonies, the advantages of retaininga domi- . nion over which, either in a coininerciul or military point of view. has become a most doubtful point in the Imperial Parliament with respect to the Gut, and by the withdrawal of the troops, seems to have been decided in the negative with respect to the second of these aspects. It would he dillicnlt, we tliinlt, to persuade the people of Prince Edward Island, taken collectively, or through their representatives, to con sent to the relinqaishmeiit of a power within itself of enacting its own local laws,-aiilcss, indeed, the municipal power—propcsed, we ttnderstead, to be ccnferred—should be extended farther than ever that species of authority has yet been. Prince Edward Island stands in a very different position from her sister Colonies. Her irisrilar attaation,—tbs circum- stance of being cut cl from all intercourse with other countries for nearly half the year, except through the medium of the electric telegraph, or the weekly trans- mission of the mail, under circumstances of personal inconvenience, attended by an amount of danger and hazard that preclude the idea of its ever becoming general. even in these days of overcoming all natural obstacles, is of itselfa serious impediment; and when the ' of the greater portion of its territory —limited as it ie—is held by abaeiitees, and. as far as her interests are concerned, ferelgners. is taken into esasldsratien. the objections to parting with the control over the leads, the right of taxation, sad the prstlstlsl of the tsssatry—vttsb farts tbshslhsf
