ROBERTSON, 01 Toronto, is authorised to collect and receive monies on behalf of this of- fice. Political agitation is like the troubled sea, never at rest. Some “gigantic wrong or astounding developement” is always in the wind to disturb ones reposie; and although there are many of these things got up for efl'ect, being of themselves “ mares nests," yet we must all admit that Canadian poli- tics just now are in rather an awk- ward mess, and truth compels us to add that recent events have lower- ed us in the opinion of the leading Statesmen ol “Fatherland.” Let us {or a few moments glance at some ofthe principal causes that have contributed to place. us in this uneuviablc position. The first re- cent cause is, the Seat of Govern- iiriiisl; @tibnur. RICHMOND HILL. OCT. 14,1858 u The result, howevvr. shows that the only mistake was. that too much was trusted to the guod faith of the (‘anadian Parliament. A nnolzon was made in the Assemth rejecting the award of the Queen, and repudlating Ut- tawa as the t‘ntuls Seat of Govnrnmr‘nt.â€" The motion was carried. and the Ministry re- >igned. but iL hm now returned to nf'fico with a vely slight modnfication. and announces on its return its intention of givmg up Ottawa as the future Seat of Government. This, we think, has done more to in- jure Canada and Sir Edmund Head than anything else; and. we think that the act of swearing in men to oflices which they never in- tended to fulfil is a disgraceful quibble. unworthy alike of Sir Ed- mund and the ministry. We (:an« not find words to express our indig- nation at such a contemplible and disgraceful transaction; to saythat such a course is legal is nonsense; ‘for if you can,. by twisting. and twrrlmg, make it come Within the letler of the law (which we much doubt) there is a higher court which damns the transaction as infamous. That is the law ofjustice. No won- der that the British press should unanimously cry shame on such a stratagem. For as Thomas Car- lyle says,-“ No venerable or anti- quated parchment. can make unjust just.” The Times writes on the subject thus :â€" mont question, and the action taken by Parliament on it, viz.,â€"â€"leaving the choice of place to Her Majesty, and then setting aside the decisionâ€"- anything more impolitic could not possibly be conceivedand on which the London Thunderer thus sums up his opinion of us :â€" " The result. howevcr. shnw mistake was. that loo much was gund faith of tho (‘auadiun 1‘: mo' n was made in the AKSGI Tllis. we confeSS. appears to us to be a ra- ther ahabhy tramacliou. The Queen never undertook the award snhjecx to an appeal {a {he Canadian Assembly. and lho Mluislry who involved Her Mujuuyiu such a choice were bound. we think. to stand h_\' her deci- sion. and not. by a. mere nomindl change of members. to seek 10 romlvine [he ralenliun of Mike with the semblance of a gond faith. which, in substance. they have violated. The who‘s afl'air gives hm a poor specimen of the “"18 of puhlic moralin and lhe feelings which actuate public men in Canada.” The change of Ministry is the next subject. Our readers are aware that we had, neither have we yet any confidence in George Brown or his party! still, we. condemned on public grounds the hasty vote passed against them. But we must say that the yell of rage they set up against the Governor Geneâ€" ral because he refused to dissolve the Parliament was quite uncalled for; as in this, we think Sir Ed- mund Head acted wisely and con- stitutionally; and we think the. treason spouted by the Clear Grits on that occasion was more akin to the insane ravings of a Bedlumile than to the unbiassed utterance of the Patriot and well-wisher of his country: for it was madness to take office with such a majority against them, taking into consideration the fact that the members of the house were but newly chosen: but here we are obliged to stop, further in support ot" the, Government we dare not go. It will be remembered that alter the resignation of the “ two~days Ministry, another Minâ€" istry was formed, or rather, a resus- citation ol' the old Ministry with but two exceptions, and they retained their places without re-electien.â€"- VVe think that the Tan/’8 in this case is right. Two courses were alone open m usâ€"â€"ei1her not to have referred 1110 question to her Majosly at all, or having done §0, we should have abide-d by her de- Majesty at all, 01' having done §0, we should have abide-d by her de- cision. ‘Ve must say that the course adopted reflects no credit to the Province. " There is. it appears. 'a Canadian Act by whiqh a Minister resigning one office and accepting another is saved from the necessity of making a re-eloclion {tom MI conslijuenll. A RETROSPEC This Act is obviously framed with the inten- tion of facilitating more internal changes in the Government. and was not intended to ex- empt. a new Ministry from [he necessily 0r weking a re-elacnon. By means of this law. however. or rather. we are inclined to think. by nsuper-subtlo interpretatiun of it. the in- coming Ministry of Mr. Cartier. which was A mere readjustment of that of Mr. Macdonnld. contrived to keep their seats. while the dis- carded Ministry of Mr. Brown lost theirs.â€" The matter was managed in this wav :â€" Each Minister was appointed to an ofliud dif- ferent from that which he had held befale llle dissolution of the Ministrv; that ofiice he hold for a single day and th in resigned in or- der to be reappointed to his original office.â€" We think there is much to regret in this PI‘O' ceeding.

We do not. presume to 03's;- an opi. nion on the logalityof the transaction. which is. it appears. likely to be contested in a court of law. though it is difficult to under- stand how Mr Mucdonald and his friends could have so far vacated their offices as to oh~ lige Mr. Brown and his friends to give up their seats in order to succed them. and \‘et all the while have so far retnined [heir ofliées as to render them Capable of accepting others within the meaning of the Act, which applies to trans‘ers from one place to another. Be the law. lmwaver. whnt it mav. there can he no doubt. that such a transactihn was directly contmry to the spirit of tho Atzt. was an indi- rent means at depriving constituencres of their right to he cnnxnltcd on the necesuion of their members to oflico. and, when compared with the hard menx'nre dealt Olll tn Mr. llmwn and his friends. whoxe sean were vacated on their acceptance of office by the same vote which rendered their retention of office impossible. did not altogether preserve the appearance of a dignified impartiality. Whether the transacrion was legal or not. it certainly was not compulsory. and we should have been beltorplensed to have seen the Governor Geâ€" neral refuse to take any part in it than allow him>olf to he enlisted in a proceeding which has not unnaturally excited much ill-feeling in the colony.” VVe think that every one not blinded by party prejudice mustre- gret that the Governor General should have lent his aid to the com- mitting of such a piece of injustice. Our only wonder is that either Sir Edmund or his Ministry could find any one to defend such a course ; but it appears that the morality of public men and the press is atsueh a low ebb as to find plenty of apo- logists and defenders of this man- oeuvre. We are both surprised and pained to find three of the leading daily journals of this province not merely defending, but actually eulogisingfir this piece of political jugglery. \Ve will quote from two journals. The Leader says thatâ€" “ Mr. Mardonald and his friend: did not pre- lond lo l'HHlIH their offices in any shape or form after their successm-s were swoln in; nor was it necessary that the" s: ould. in order to be at liberty to take othew. without being re- elected.

The matter we have to do with is thu position taken by the Governor General. To the Queen’s representativeit was, person- ally, a matter of the utmost Indifference whe- ther Messrs. Muwat and Foley, or Messrs Vnnkoughnot and Sicotle were his advisers.â€" But it was a matter of impmtanca for him to see that the party he hept as his advi~’ers had lln: confidence of Parliament; and to this rule, the plainest in the Constitution. and the rule which lies at the basis of local self-government. Sir Edmund Head has adhered with a firmness and fidelity which must earn for him the la>t- ing gratitude of intelligent men of all parties.” W'e think that every well regu- lated mind must deplore the loose morality contained in such a de- fence; and we, although approving much that appears in these journl als, protest strongly against the course taken by them on this quesâ€" tion. No wonder that England doubts our capacity for self-govern- ment, when party spirit 111115 blinds our Politiciansfto all sense of jus- tice and honour. The trade of po- litics is fast becoming ignol)le in- stead of honorable, We have no sympathy with George Brmvn.â€"â€" The question is not the inns and outs of a party, important as that may be. The question is was it right for men to swear solemnly to perform certain duties, and then turn immediately round and swear to totally different duties, for the sake of avoiding a re-elcction.â€" You might, or might not. make it in accordance with parchment rolls. But we unhesitatingly say that it is a black spot in Canadian history. The Editor of the Aurora Sun, having launched his periodical on the waves of public opinion, is anx- iously looking forward for the Press of Canada to congratulate him upon his arduous undertaking, but no. less he receives exchanges from the other side of Sun down, not one editorial notice has been made of its birth (except that it is deserving of a speedy deal/L.) The inhabi- tants of the village of Aurora were, no doubt, anxious and willing to support a Journal that would adâ€" vance the interests of the village and vicinity. Now, the queslion is, have they been successful? Those that were most energetic in the beginning are now showing symptoms of weariness, and no wonder. W'e decline publishing a communication from our correspon‘ dent of Aurora, for one or two rea- sons. \\'e are thankful to him, however, for the information.

If any one thinks it worth the trouble of looking over any published communications of mine, he will find that I only stated such information as I was in possession of, and which I had received from various quarters, andl never had any opportunity myself of know- ing what Slack died possessed of.

Translated for the British Tribune. The Austrian priests to the num- ber of 507 have addressed a peti- tion to the President of the council, the Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna. In this document they make known the grievances of the lower clergy in such terms as have not been heard since the days, of the. Refor- mation. They begin by attacking, in a very lively manner, the prero- nu Thomhill, 0m. 11, 1858 gatives of the Episcopacy. The Council has, they say, conferred on the Bishops several privileges, and agreat increase of power; while the Priests are forced to bear all the odium of the indignation and moral resistance to which this unpopular system has given rise among the reoplc. - To the Editor of Iho British Tribune.

We hope that those 507 Priests understand the exigencies of their position, and that they will have recourse to the gospel to ob1ain that christian liberty to which they aspire. If the Son makes you free, says Christ, Vou shall be free indeed. The religion tlfiis appear§ as' an unsupportable burden, and \he enemies of thu Clergyrproflt by itâ€" by drawing the public attention, not to the poverty of the inferior Clergy, but to the luxury and ex- travagance in which the bishops live. In the second place, the petitioners show forth..the indolence of the Monks, and demand that these mcndicant orders be abolished and their revenues applied to the support of the Priests who do the work. They also demand the re peal of the. law which enforces celi- bacy on the Clergy; they allege that by preventing the Priest from contracting the sacred bonds of marriage, he is rendeer an object of suspicion and public contempt, and causes a remissness among the (Ilergy,â€"â€"causing them thus to con- tribute to the moral depravity in, which the people are sunk. In‘ short, the petitioners demand that these reforms be adopted,‘-,which will prevent the inferior Clergy from being considered as the op- presors of the people.â€"and that they restore to the Priest the sacred family ties and the common feeling of humanity. If that does not take place, they say, all ottr influence will be \\'itlldra\vn,â€"the catholic religion will be despised,â€"und the. will be {\rilllilra\\'n,â€"tlie catholic religion will be despised,â€"und the hierarchy will be overthrown.

On leaving the steamer she appeared very anxious about her lug- gage, and requested an Englishman,who was attached to the Steam Company‘s oflice,to accompany her to the Custom House, hoping that by his assistance she might have the examination got through more readily and with less rigour. She also expressed anxiety lest her dresses and other articles of toilet should be rumpled' The director of the Custom House, Ab- dallah Hiffet Bey, assurred her, with the greatest courtesy, that nothing should be injured, but that her trunks must be open- ed.
