IVe candidly confess that we cannot see how an Orangetnan could voth for Mr- Brown in preference to Mr. Cartie- ron, (who is a member of that body,) and We can also quite uu~ derstand that these gentlemen would recommend all the members of Orange Lodges to vote for their brother, but we should suppose that such recommendation not binding in any way whatever; for sorry should we be to find that the Orange Institution was bound hand and foot to any man or set cf men; and we moreover fully endorse the opinion, that a public meeting should be held at some convenient place to give Orange- men an opportunity to express their opinion on the resolutions in ques- I’Vc. hope, however, that become VV' r'lS tion. our correspondent will more calm in the meanwhile, for he is evidently at present rather to excited to listen to any explanations that might be made relative to the, point in question.

Simâ€"The point of (Iefcncc. to which Mr. .\t)l'l'|S lier veered in his last low,r lcttcr reminds me. of the storv of the young person, who, liavuig coumiitted :1 firux pus, cu- dr-nvoi'ircrl to excuse herself on tlic ground, that the infant which was the result of it was a very little mm. In like man- nor. he has labored to show, that it the Council did interfere with the administration of justice, as settled by their own Bylaw, the evidence on which they did so, was ([3 small (is possible. Ipurpose presently to shew that this is the worst plea he could have set up. But first, I wish to revert to my original charge, which has been lostsiglitof amid the numcrousominor issues raised by Mr. Norris. The charge was that of an improper interfer- ence by the Council with matters not within their legitimate con- trol. Most of my subsequent rc- marks were mcraly illustrative of the consequences that flowed from this original error of judgment.â€" I call it an error of judgment, be- cause I adhere, to the broad and settled principle that a legislative body has no right to interfere with the administration of justice as determined by their own law, otherwise than by repealing or anreudiul,r that law. And as Icon- tend that no circumstances what- ever will justify such an interfer- ence, it matters little, according to my view of the case, whether the evidence brought before such a body for the purpose of inducing their] to interfere, bc copious or meagre. Now, a champion of the, Council ought to have joined issue on this main charge, and argued it throughout; but hitherto no such issue has been joined di- rectly and expressly. The practice of Mr. Norris, however, on July 6, as well as the subsequent tenor of his defence seem to point inrplicdly to the conclusion: Is. That there are circumstances which, in his opinion warrant such an interfer- ence; and 2dly, that those circum- stances wcrc present in the cases which have led to this discussion. Of the first conclusior’l,“thc burden of proofis tliroun upon Mr N0râ€" ris, and the second he. has in my opinion failed to prove; for al- though he professes to see difficul- ties in some of the cases, I cannot perceive that there is anything in thorn, which a magistrate of aver- age capacity could not determine, and cvnn if there were, the right of petition to the Council, or of ap- peal to the Quarter Sessions was open to the, defendants. A dexter- ous advocate might have argued that the copiousncss of the evidence prepared for the preliminary court of enquiry would excuse, if it (lid notjustify, the interference of that body with the magistcrial jurisdic tion, by enabling them so to strike the balance between the evidence pro and contra, as todirr'iiuish or ex- clude the probability of petitions. being subsequently presented, or if prCSented, to warrant the propriety of rcjcctincr them: but a I‘Clit‘rllcr- on the meagerncss of the evidence as a plea in justification or cxcusc, reminds me of the process of reas- oning, which must have aniiriatcd the minds of the Irish jury, who once found a man guilty of the. murder of his friend, but recom- mended him to mercy, on account of the previous intimacy between the particslâ€"the very circum-i stance which should have exclud- ed such a recommendationâ€"I contend, therefore, that my main charge has not been disproved, and that the matters pleaded by way of justification are not suflicient to furnish an excuse, much less a jus- tification. I now proceed to what my notes professed to prove. I never undertook to prove more than one. single statement from those notes, viz., that the Council had,on July 6, given the sanction of their authority lo the prosecution of some cases, and the waiving of the pro- secution in others. (See my letter of August 13.) Mr. Norris asserts tliatl undertook to prove the cor- rectness of my statements from those notes, and he iriarks the passage with inverted commas, as if it were a quotation from my letter. Now, the letter S is a very small letter, and the addition of it is very sly, but I cannot let it pass, especially as it points to statements, other than the one which I have. just mentioned. Sotlic attempt to press Hei‘sliaw’s case into his service, \vlmse petition I never reported, and to make my statements apply to it, may be very “smart,” but I can assure hiiri I am quite as able to detect such snmrtncss, as ho is to have recourse to it. 'Thc passage which he has worried to death, as well as misqtiotcd, making downâ€" right nonsense ol it, in his last let- ter viz., that all the evidence which was afterwards brought before the magistrate, or at least the leading,y features of each case, were laid before the Council on July 6th &c, was only iutcndcd to apply to the to be very greatexcitemcutevinced in town about the feat.

It was not in- tended to apply to Muir’s case,â€" t/zc leading fwlures of which I had not reported; nor could it by possi- bility apply to Hershaw’s, whose case and whose very name I did not eVen mention in my report.â€" I-Iow the passage can be called my original charge, or a charge in any sense of the term, I am at a loss to discern. However, if there be any doubt as to the mcaningr of the sentcucc,l am ready to amend it by nscrting the words “Muir‘s cxcvplcd 7’ after the word “ case.” This will remove all ambiguity.â€" IIiiving now been at issue. with Mr. Norris on so many points, it is very fortunate that we are able to agree upon one. When he fails to per- ccive tlic propriety of my calling public discussion the lifeâ€"blood of our institution, I heartin coincide with hirri in the opinion that his perceptive, faculties are clouded, and that what is perfcct!y clear to every onc else, is hidden from him.

Consequently public dis- cussion may be metaphorically termed the life-blood of our insti- tution. I hope this explanation may prove as satisfactory as my previous- one, of the meaning of the term “ final adjudication.” At the same time if Mr. Norris con- siders- his own similc more appro- priate and poetical,â€"ifhe imagines that public discussion bearsa more striking resemblance to a man in a sentryâ€"box, I am perfectly satisfied.

On Saturday morning last, about halfâ€"past eleven o’clock, Mr. Jackes who keeps a dry goods store on Yonge street, was attending some ladies, one o ' whum purchased some articles which she was to send for, and which were left on the coun- ter. When she did send for the articles, however, the silk she had bought had dis- appeared, and Mr. Jackes learned that two young femacs had since been in the store. Mr Jackes went out fora time, and when he returned he was informed that the same two females had been in the store, and that another piece of silk was missrng. He then took steps and learned the names and residence of the girls, and took out. a search warrant, which was duly executed by sergeant Cumminl. The fol- rng articles were found in the possession ' oi the prisoners, vrz :â€"one piece. of check-=- ed silk, of the value of $13; two pieces of black silk; two pieces of blue plaid, at 75¢ per yard; a back silk cape; pieces of blue merino atrd spotted muslin ; a piece of bujrlc. lace; several pairs of riers and safe guards, but against. the slands erer who stabs your reputation'and rob- you of your geod nameI (dear to every honorable man as life itself,) what .iuequate protection does it atTord'l no quack lawyer, consequent by my legal opinion is not entitled to the same weighty as yours. But Ican safely say that to the utmost of my ability, I have endeavoured tionestly,conscientiously, arid impartially,to discharge my duties as Assessor “legally and properly,” having nothing to gain but lam everything to lose by a contrary course. And in answer to your slanderous at- tacks and insinuations, I appeal to the Assessment Iioll itself; to the Council whose duty it was to inspect it; and to the people who, acqujescirrg in the just- ness and correctness of the assessment. have made no appeal; for can it be believed that the great majority of the inhabitants on this side ofthe who know me personally, know that I am township the assessor. that the time for assessment is past. and yet have no knewledge of their assesment, and having no knowledge, "‘r- trot so indifferent as to make no com- plattii. And is it irot the duty of the Clerlrto make a copy of the Assessment l’mll and stick it up in some conspicuous place where all who choose may consult it Do not the facts all point to one inevitable conclu, sion, viz.â€"that the and appeal if aggrieved? people have been properly assessed, know and acquiesced in the amount of their assessment, and if any have no written notice, it is because they have declined it when tendered. But who ls Mr. John Kooh, whose hercpleau intel- lect is required to rescue the township from disgrace, “ and bring to light the dis- graceful work of the Assessor,” against whose appointment“the trio are trying to guard against.” The fact of his being a Dutchman, and a warm confidentia friend of yours, is no unanswerable arguâ€" ment in favour of either his intelligence If he is so highly re- sponsible, the collectorship cannot be or his integrity . much of an object to him, however rnuc it may be to you. This fatherly care of your‘s over the taxes of the township, if prompted solely by the public good, might have some merit; but there are some who will believe that there are reasons apart from the stern honesty and intellectual brilliancy of Mr. Koch, apart from the supposed delinquencies of the Assessor. apart from any fear of disgrace to the townshipsâ€"reasons not public, but private and personalâ€"why you take sucll a deep interest in the appointment of a Collector whose accommodating friend- liness to yourself rather than his fitness, is his chief recommendation.

Numbers of butterflies were seen flying from the east towards llre west. The flight continued for hours, and thousands oftlre beautiful little ani- ina's followed each other, hound apparent- ly for some general rendezvous. They pursued the line of the esplanadc, but ex- tended for a considerable distance on either side, They were of the species known as damn: archippus, a common kind of but- terfly. The boys had quite a good time of it in hunting them. and the esplanarle resounded with the the shoots of lads as success or the contrary resulted in their efforts to capture the briglltvttingetl crea- tures. Various were the speculations ' among the crowds around the City Hall as to the cause of the migration. Sam? wrseacres shook their heads gravely. mut- tered Something about butterflies and com- ets, and ominously predicted the occur- rerice of some great and momentous cir- cumstance in our affairs. Another ven- tured a suggestion that the little wander- ers were visitors to the Crystal Palace; but such an idea was laughed to scfin, and the lucklcss Wight who propounded it hurried away to escape the effects of his indiscrect observation. It was at length agreed by all parties that the event was “ very Singular,” and soon the usual duties of life were resumedâ€"Colonist. HIGHLAND SOCIETY or TORONTO.â€" It will be seen from our advertising col- umns that a meeting of Scotchmen is to be held in the Mcclianics’ Institute on Friday evening the 17th inst.for the purpore of organiz ng a society to be called“ The j Highland Society of Toronto.” The proposed societv is to be purely . patriotic in its character. Its object will be the preservation of the language, literature, music, poetry, dress, games and the athle- tic exercises of the natives of Scotland ; and, when the funds will admit, to infant temporary relief, when necessary, to parties from Scotland coming to this country, as emigrants or otherwrse. The members will meet once a week or often- er, on ground to be secured by the office- bearers, for the purpose of practisrng put- ting the stone, throwing the hammer, toss- ing the cable, leaping, &c., &c. When ".9 season will admit, the members will a|so practice curling. shinty, and other Scottish games, on the lake, or elsewhere, as may be most suitable. The society will be under the patronage of distinguish- ed Scotchmen, and others resident in British North America.~ Colonist, A SHERIFF'S OFFICER IN Dirt-{CULâ€" T .â€"On Friday last one, of the hflicers in (the employ of Sheriff Jarvis, named Edward Ellis, went to the house of John Macdonald near the Village of Malton. for the purpose of executing a Writ offln‘ facias against his goods and chattels. .V’lacdonald and his son were in a field ploughing, and when they saw Ellis re- moving a pair of their horses, the son fol- lowed him, strttck him, and took the horses from him.
