This is a state of things which often oc- curs upon a land line, that one office can receive correctly from a distant operator. and yet be unable to send a word in rev tutti; and the difficulty sooner or later is found to be in the battery, its connections or the Instrument, and there is no reason '0 llfllllll lll‘dt lite present drilleulties In “WK!

We are at. length prorogued; and this long and costly Parliament- ary session is closetl,and our duty is tiovv To see what the better we are for our legislation. It has been a very stormy session, party spirit has run madly high, being doubt- less increased by the commercial crisis through which we are. pass- It is an ill-wind which blows nobody any good,â€"is a proverb common as a household word,â€" hence it is found invariably to be, that times of social and commer- ina. cial disorder is the most favorable r period for the dcmagogue to dis play his skill; because then he has only to lay the sin at the. door of the Government of the day when he is safe to enlist the passions and I prejudices of the masses on his behalf. Such is briefly the course that has been pursued by the unprin- cipled opposition during the l"“' sent session. They have seized upon the present disordered state with an avidity, which in a bet- ter cause would have been highly commendable. but is otherwise mean and contemptible, and we. hesitate not to affirm that it is in a great measure, owing to their, factions opposition, that We have.l had such a protracted session, and , that it has been disgraced by finch ’ gross personalities. We do not' desire to ignore the fact that an op- position is necessary, and even useful in all responsible Govern- ments. But an opposition in order - to be useful must not be. merely obstructive; it should have some higher and Ioftier aim than fault- finding; it should not be simply a neKative opposition. If it wishes to be useful, it also should have a uuthmkrng I correct (-Iying abuses which have long existed,â€"such for instance as making preferential assignments, by which the interests of theclrosen few are cared for at the expense of Then the Us- ury Law Bill is another step in the. jtts‘litit‘ and equity.

This is, however, but a very brief srrtr‘lmary of the work actually done. We are aware that there are many questions now in abevance that we should like to have seen settled, or at least further advancedâ€"such for instance as the question of Repre- sentation by Population, the Seat of Government Question, 3 Federal Union, the Hudson’s Bay question, and many others. But even Rome was not built in a day; therefore we must wait, perhaps the delay will be advantageous, as the. sub- jects are of such importance as to demand .a great amount of fore- fraught and judgement. We can- not with many think that the labor of the session is lost, when such acts as we have referred to have been passed. It is in vain now to regret what has been left undone. It is the fault of the people that oh- structives have the powerlo hinder If IIIev will elect men whose forte is talk and talk only, they must suffer the consequences by having a talking Parliament in- stead of a working one, and the time. of the House wasted in per- sonal sqrraflbles, instead of attend- ing to public thsiuess. business. These squabblers tried for a brief period their hands at cabinet mak- ing, and a pretty mess they made of it. The Cabinet itself was a nega- tion and stultificatiou of principle; their bond (II unity was, they agreed to differ, and trust to the unborn fu' ture to hl‘lt‘l‘j order out ofcbaos, and III the ttlt‘EltHVIlIlt‘ pocket the. emo- But of course now they are defeated, they are martyrs for the public good.

If, however, we are tojudge of them by some of their editorials, we should he in- clined to think ltldl theironlychance of martyrdom is by having a hempâ€" eti cord placed in ratherdangerous proximity to their blesued neeksfor rebellioII,â€"a rebellion being (lit-r voutly prayed for doubtless by some of these fanatics.

A fire broke out about 9 O’clock on Saturday morning on the .pw- mises of Mr. Daniel Homer, Senr., destroying the barn, stables, &c.

THE REPORT VINDICATED. To the Editor oftlre British Tribune. ' SIR,-â€"â€"Your paper of the 13th inst. has not reached me. It is. therefore, bymcre accident that I have seen Mr. Norris" coai'se and intemperate letter in your iseue 01 that date, in which my report and commentary on the proceedings or the Scarboto’ Council are stigmatiz- ed as a misrepresentation of facts, and in which I myselfam assailed in language utterly beneath the notice of a gentleman, and into which I should be sorry to follow Mr. W. N. Norris. That letter when di» vested of its superfluity and vulga- rity amounts simply to this, that we are at issue upon one material fact; whether the Council did, or did not sanction the prosecution of certain persons at their meeting of July 6. Icontend that the} (lid.â€" Mt‘. Norris denies it ; and the follow- Ing are the terms in which he does- st) :â€"“ I assert that the proceedings taken against these men did 'uot originate in an order of the Counâ€" Cll at the last meeting of July 6.” If, by the \voids “order of .the. Council” he means a formal reso- lution duly proposed, seconded. and entered on the minutes, I never stated such a thing; but if he means to insinuate that the Cortn- ciI did not give the sanction of their authority, verbally to such pro- secutions; I assert that they did and [will prove the correctness of mystatemen! from my shorbhand notes taken on the spot, and at the 1 mo IJuIv 6.) I mayI here observe that Mr. Norris has not attempted to prove his statement. He goes on to say, “I assert that the cases were not discussed at any previous meeting, &c. I affirm that with the exception of Keirll's (case) I/re Cmrnr'rl was perfectly ignorunr unlrl July 26 of all the puttrculurx (if l/lt‘e'C cases.“ The following are my notes: Richard Collins, Wil- [Iain Hickey. and Mrs. Frazer; lu- forttiant, J. ()Ir‘nerod. ~To Hick- ey’s name are appended the words “ uncle broken.” To Mrs. Frazer’s the words “ left the Township," and a line is drawn through each name, being mv private mark to show that the Council sanctioned the warring of the prosecution for these reasons: To Collins’ name are attached the words, “ Suin- Inoned by two Pathmastersâ€"had removed from first to second heat, and performed labor there.” (The word “ summoned ” alluded to his being called out to perform labor, not to a summons before a magis. tratt’.) To Keirll’s name are at- tached the \\ ords, “Informant Cap- T. Broomâ€"T. Brown’s order 21l~ lowing Ken-II to perform statute Ia- bor on hrs own land produced: or- 1(lered to perform labor under Secor.’ To. W. R. Bennett’s name the ,word “ D'dtd ” is attached. The some to that of R. Stapleton.â€"â€" To the rest there is no note. Now, sir, I ask you, whether, on the strcn_,th of these notes taken on July 6, at: re time the cases were first brought before the. Council, ., . r tam Seemâ€"pleaded authority trom Was, or was not warranted in as- serting that the cases were discuss- ed'bne by one, and that in some cases the prosecution was- recomâ€" mended to be waived, and in (HI)- ers to be proceeded \\'llll. Mr. Norris has totally suppressed the fact that in Kerrll’s case at that meeting, Captain Secor was re- quested to call out Keirtl once Irrore; that he did so call him, and that he refused to perfortii his labor. I never blunted the Council for simply remitting the fines and ('()\‘i>l)t’l’ so. I ridiculed tIreIII ftrrflrsl summon ling prosecutions, ilntl lrrt‘ll renrrrtzng fines, &c. But let the suppose, lb. argtrtrtent’s sake, that Illt' CoIIIIcIl were “porter-Hy Ignorant of all thr- particulars ” the. us Mr. Norris as» ~ serts. Why then (ltd they lend their sanction It) the prosectttton on in- suflicreut evidence? If. they place tIIemselves'it’I an anoirialorts posi- tron not avarranjed try their own By-Iaw .0” the subject, and Its>urne functions analogorrs- to those of a Grand Jury, in finding a true bill, they ought to have snflicmnt e il- ence, before they Ienl thctrs nctron to at prosecution. But surer 5 Illtt‘ mode can be devised by \\'IJI(.‘I1 the Council may, if they ttrrnk ht to in- vestigate cases belurelrund, rescue themselves from the iability 0f be- Ing placed in that (IIIeIIrIIIrI In which tire subsequent I re~entution of peti- tions by parties titled, is sure to find them. This may be the subject (Ila future letter. \Vus not the evidence in Collins’ case suflicient to justify them in waivrng the prosecutron in the first instance? In Keirll’s case [stated that the crisis were charg- ed to the 'I‘ownship. It I were to error, I am most happy to acknow- ledge it, wrthout betng “ black- guatded ” for an unintentional er- ror. But if Mr. Norris’ statement be true, that he and three others “had the 'final adjudarlmu of their cases: postponed tor one week,” I am at a loss to know III) N the Corm- (til could, at their rrieetittg of July 26, rrmrt to Keirll a bite, and charge bun with costs which, ac- c ruling to Mr. Norris, had not been IIHIIUSt'd at that tune. A case Is line buy mljudrculed \vtrcn judgment is recorded and Signed. It Itre final adjudication be suspended, It fol- lows that the case Is still subjuâ€" drce, and you cannot remIt or. charge what has not been imposed. It Mr. Norris meant .h ll- (’JJICIHIOII had been postponed, he should have aatd so, especially as he professes to be so very accurate, and “not unacquainted wrth municipal anrl general law.” The accuracy t f his assertion that my report origiâ€" nated “ In a morbid desire for no- lOI'lt'ly,” is suthcrently disproved by the tact that nosrguuture was ut- Iuc/rrd to .t, as be We“ knew. But the most amusing part of his letter consists 01 I118 Idea, that try compellingr the l‘tmuslrip Cmrk to turnrsh each paper III the ltrrlrng With the rrrtnuresofits proceedings, he will prevent that public Ilrscus- son, which is the life bl0::d of our institutions.

Let him put this into praotree and thereby shew the public what a little (ltcl‘dltrl‘ he would be. if he had the power. Fortunately he overtures both his influence and his impor rauce, if he Irrragines that he can dictate to the press what they are to insert, and what to rejectâ€"and he may discover ere long, that by an attack upon one who has hither- to supported IIIIII where right. and who now opposes him where he believes him to be wrong, he has failed to strengthen his recently ac- quired position.
