The Council for the United Counties of York and Peel ~commenced its sittings yesterday afternoon in the Council Chain- ber, Court House, Adelaide streetâ€"the \Vardcn (J. P. W hector, Esq.) presiding. Mr. R. MOORE, iii the absence of Mr. ELLiO'i‘, at present in England, officiated as Clerk,aud called the roll. The following members of the Council answered 'to'tlieii‘ names :â€"-l\1cssieurs Allen, Arnold, Blain, Barnhart, Button, Barker, Crawford, Ego, Graham, Hughes, Hanna, Holborn, Ilartâ€" lcy, Ironsitle, Musson, Parker, Pcrdu,l Rowdl, Tyrrell, Vance, “illicclcir (W hit- church), “'clls, \Vallis, \Vcbb, \'\7ilson, and Walker. The Winona rOSe and said that, through the goodness of Providence, they had been permitted to meet again to trauâ€" sact the business and discharge the duties devolving upon them as members of the Council. The business to be transacted at the present session Would be of the ordinary character, and be trusted that they would be able to get through with the business during the present weck. lle had to inform the Council that since last, session he had forwarded the Address of condolence to tlcr Majesty, passed at the last meeting. lle had received a reply, acknowledging the receipt of the Address, from the Secretary to the Governor General, and one also from the Colonial Secretary, to the effect that Her Majesty had been gracioust pleased to receive the Address. He had also to intimate to the Council that he had forwarded the several petitions adopted at last scssmn to the various members representing the Counties in Parliamcnt~a portion to cach~with a .requcst that they would present them to tthe three branches of the legislature. dIe was not in a position to state what progress had been made in regard to them, but he observed that a bill to define town. ship lines had been introduccd into the House of Asscmbly. According to the intructions of the Council, he had requestâ€" ed the County Solicitor to draw tip a bill to enable the Counties to get a settlement with the City of Toronto relative to the .charge for the maintenance of City ,prisoncrs. He proceeded to Quebec, ;according to instructions, and placed the bill in tlie'hands of Mr. Amos Wright, M.P.P., he being the only member repre- senting the Counties in Parliament who :was not connected with the City of Toronto. ,Tliat bill was introduced and tread a first time. Mr. Wright was sub- .»scquczitly confined to his room through :sicknuss, and he (the \Vardcn) waited on Mr. llowland, who gave him every assistv .auce and prooured the printing of the bill, as "Cir.- \Vright was too unwall to attend to it personally. He (the Warden) next, .calted on Mr. Adam \Vilson, in reference ate the bill, and asked him to support it when it came up for a second reading, but 'he found Mr. ll'ilson opposed to the mea- Slll‘l‘, and he was told by Mr. Wilson that the Counties had no claim against the city. Mr, Wilson also told him that Mr. Tyrrell,one of the arbitrators, had inform- ed him that the Counties it? 016 arbitration W no successor had been appointed, that the Council might, if they considered it pyg- per, takc the matter up and recommend a, successor. Tie would, however, lca‘ye the i Counctl to take what steps theyifconsi j dcrcd proper in the mattcr. f? I l‘ilr. \\ ells said he would like to“ hear the llccvc of York (Mr. 'i‘yriell):inakc some explanations relative tortlic st'ate-, merit made by Mr. Wilson to the \Vai'dt‘ii. M r. 'l‘yrrcll said he had Olllly‘lO remark, that the statement was'a "willful falsehood on the part of Mr. \‘i'ilson, as he had never said that the Counties Council .had got $5,000, $1f000~or even $500 inure than they wore entitled to. [lo thr-n went on to state that the claim of the Council amounted to $16,000, and was for the maintenance-of city prisoners dur- ing 1857 and eleven months of 1858, and that Mr. “Wilson had in presence of Mr. Musson 0cher $10,000 to settle the claim, which was declined. Mr. Button said Mr. Hyde told him that he was pi'csctit'along with llon. Mr. Rccsoi- when the offer was made by Mr. \Vilsom Mr. llartlcy moved that the Council adjourn. Mr. lilain objected to the adjournment. lle contended that they onght to take the matter of the maintenance of the city prisoners up and discuss it fully this after- noon. lie was ready to introduce a mo- tion on the subject. After a short discussion, Mr. Hartley‘s motion was carried, and the Council ad- journed till this morning at ten o’clock. Vllodnesday, June. 4. The Council met yesterday forenoon at ten o’clockâ€"the Warden presiding. THE MAINTENANCE or CITY PltISONlSlZS. Mr. (iraliam moved, seconded by Mr. Button, that the Council l‘l'StthB itselfinto Committee ofvthc Whole, on the settleâ€" ment of the claim of the counties against the city of Toronto for the keeping of the city prisonersâ€"*â€"Carried. The Council Went into Committee of the. \‘t‘hole Mr. \\'alkcr in the chair. Mr. (il‘ttlltlln moved that notwithstandâ€" ing the just claim made by the Corpora- tion against the city of Toronto or the maintenance and keep ofcity prisoners for the yrar 1857 and part of 1858, has been materially reduced, nevertheless the Coun- cil arc of opinion that the \Vardcn, in closing up this matter while at Quebec, did no‘. lose sight of the justice of our claim, and to save further delay and fill g'ation, believe it to be the best possible arrangement that could be made under ex< istinq circumstances. ' The \l'ardvd again explained at length his reasons for accepting the $5,500 in tt full, of all dcinandsfor 1857â€"758. Sev‘cial members having given their views pro and con or. the subjectâ€"~â€" M r. Tyri'cll moved that the committee do rise. The motion .was carried, and thc reso- lution thrown out. NON-RESIDENT TAXES. . Mr. Ego gave notice that he will, on 'llbursday next,move the Council into Com- mittee of the \Vho.c for the purpose of considering the propriety of ltlSll‘llttllt’lg the treasurer to pay to the township of Georgina the non-resident taxes due upon lot No. 17 in the 44th concession of the a TA- qutbern Railway of t‘anatla. .dziy, Dec,'16,'l5'l ' llamas; ’poit'i'u’ 'l‘ifftéo '1 tibia takesctibcthhfoi , i‘ .

['1‘ would be a difficult mattertodco cidc with any apprt'ixin'iation to certainty the present political posi- tion of the Toronto Globe. Since the accession to office of the h'chonalthSicotto administration, it has exhibited a strange peculia- rity of temper, now blowing hot, thcn cold 3 at one time congratulat- int,r the country on'thcchangc that has taken place in the government, at another condemning,r in the most unqualified tcims the new i’iiinis- tors for dcscrting the principles they had for years been advocating.â€" (_)nc day the course pursued bygthc tion, is said, in the classical diction of the Globe, 10 be ‘enough to sickcn a horse. ,’ Mr. McDougall rc- ccivcs a gentle castigution, and is reminded that his present conduct, is entirely at variance with the re- solutions ofthc Reforri'i Convention of 1859, and with the opinions which he has himself repeatedly advocated through the columns of that paper. The next day its tone is greatly mollificd, and it. cites tho favorable opinions of anony- mous rcfoi'i'iiers as a reason for giv- l ting the new ministers a ‘ fair trial.’ township of Georgina, tip to the 31st, had got $5,000 more than they ivcri’ entitled to. He (the Warden) had also seen l'lom‘JJl. Cameron, and Mr. Carne- ron said {he understood Mr. Tyrrell had stated the Counties had got $5,000 too much. He next saw Mr. Crawford and Mir. Robinsoa,and both had'told hiin thati the bill was likely to be lost, and they! doubled if it would be passed in its present shape by the. Private .b’ills Cominittce.l They asked him if he would settle the claims for $1,000, but this he declined. He saw a veiy large number of the mem- bers belonging to both sides of the llouse, and he found that those gentlemen who}; then occupied the Opposition benches, were favourable to the passage of the bill. After a good deal of conversation with numbers, and being assured that the bill would be lost, Mr. Ct'iinOltl, on be- half of the city, made an offer of $5,000, to settle the claim llon. Mr. Mowat, 110a. Mr. Foley, Mr. llowland, and Mr. \Vright, advised that the matter should be left to be settled by three members-â€" Messrs. Wilson, Crawford and Wright; but to this he would not consent, as there were two members connected with the city against one belongingr to the counties. Being assured that it would be impossible to pass the bill, and as he was offered an additional $500 to settle the claim, he took the advice of gentlemen favourable to the passage of the bill, and accepted the offer made by the deputation sent down to Quebec on behalf of the city of Toronto. 1n doing so he felt that he was doing the best he could do for the interâ€" ests 0f the counties. Another bill was prepared, and this was signed by Altl. Carr, Ald. Strachan, and Ald. Snnth,on behalf of the city of Toronto, and by himself on behalf of" the Counties, llc perceived from the papers that, the bill had passed the Lorvcr llousc, and had got a second reading in the Upper llousc. in justice to Mr. Tyrrcll lie had to say that lie (\lr. Tyri‘cll) had denied that he had ever madc any statement to Mr. Adam Wilson that the Counties had got $15,000 more than they were entitled to. The \Vardcii thcn laid on the table certain doâ€" cuments he had received during the recess, and then went on to say thift since the last-niccting'it had pleased l’i'ovidt-nce to take away one of their ofliccrswbc rc-. fci‘iged tothe late Ptichard llt'inpsy,1isq., County, Attorney and Clerk of the Peace. lie (the \llardca) was certain that every member. of the Council would agree Willi him in saying that at all times and in all seasons they had found Mr. Dempsey kind and, courteous in his tlcincaiiour, and at ways ready and willing to give advice to them as Magistrates or members of the Counties Council. relative to the discharge of the public duties. llc full certain that they would join with him in trndering their sympathy to the widow and family ~ the gun] property, and tho propriety of appoint- December last. sold lot bcino‘ count ' )t‘O' . a Y 1 pci'lf'. COTU‘QRATION or AURORA.

Mr. Barker moved, seconded by Mr. fron- Sidcs, that the Council resolved itselfiiito Com. mitten of the. \Vliolo to consider the communi- cation from the Clerk ofthe Corporation of To- ronto, on the. construction of the Esplanade on iiig an arbitration. After a lengthened discussion, Mr \Vells moved that a special committee, coiiiposod of Messrs. llarkor, lllaiii, Ego, l’yiie and Mussoii, be appointed to report to tho Council at, its earliest, convenience on the best stops [0 be taken in reference to filling in the lilsplanadc, and if necessary to take legal opin- on tho saiiio. THE LATE MR. DEMPSEY. Mt, l’atton moved, seconded by Mr. Ego, that the Council on this tho first occasion of its iiioci’iiig since the death of the late Richard llcmpscy, Crown Attorney and Clerk of the Peace t'ortlio Unitorl Counties of York and Pool, cannot permit this opportunity to puss without, expressing: their deep regret for the. 10s of an officer. whose fidelity and ability in tho discharge 0 f the duties of (frown Attorney and Cleric of the l‘oaco. were only oquallod by tho minority and kindness evliicod by him to all who came in c intact with him.

The Doublc- najority scheme which brought firrward as a substitute for Representation by Population, the Globe very properly condemns as ‘ ii'npracticable and absurd.’ 1t goes much further; for it states- plainly that ‘ the policy of the new administration is an utter dclusion.’ The authority on which the assicr- min is made is oftho highest order. Mr, Brown was, if tvc mistake not, at (me time a strong advocate of the double-S'najority theory himself. He. has doubtless studied out its ultimate bearings, looked into its practical Working, and must be well qualified to give an opinion â€"â€" llis opinion on the other point also is, we think, deserving some do- grcC' of consideration. Four men are better fitted in form a correct estimate of the political integrity of his former colleagues. They have. long been his bosom friends; they have for years advocated the some measures, and professed the same political creed. He is well acquainted with their weakness and failings; he knows exactly what degree of reliance can be placed in their promises; he has had ample opportunity to become acquainted with their system of tactics; and when he states that ‘ the policy ofthe new administration is an utter dclusiou’ it seems unreasonable to deny the truth of the assertion. The Globe is probably right, but how long it will continue of the same mind it is hard to tell. 1fthc policy of the present advisers of the Crown be good, why nor give them a hearty support ; but if they have descrth their principles, and deceived lilt-ll‘ party, as the (Hood affirms, is it safe to entrust the government of \Ve must judge ofthcir probable course in tho future, by their acts in the past; and if they have already be- trayed the confidence reposcd in them, is there not good reason to suppose that they may do the some ttgiiin )5 Within the past, few days the Globe has again manifested strong symptoms of ministerial leanings.

The fire at this time presented a most fearful picture.
