The Reeve, statetl that it would be the object of the Council to administer justice to both Sections, and thought it better to have it disposed of at once, as delays would probably involve them in more difliculty, and he was perfectly satisfied that the other mem- bers of the Council would have no objection to assist him. In justice to Mr. Gibson, we think it right to state, that it was shown that several of the aggrieved parties had not apprised lnm’ of the liabilities on their respective properties; and that it was evident, through- out, that he had acted lo the best. of his knowledge in eVery instance. The Court then rose, and after a short adjournment, the Council resumed, when the conaidera'ion of the following resolution, passed .it a previous meeting, was taken up.

Councilman Button, said that the present question had caused a great deal of un- necessary expense upon the Township, in consequence of the Council meeting so often, expressly for this reason, during the last The consideration of these cases gave rise to much altercation between the parties named, and the Assessor, which the Reeve had much difiiculty in restraining. After considerable discthsion on the various items, wlnch the aggrieved parties alleged, had been over-assessed, the Court finally agreed to the following adjustment:â€"-Mr. Miller’s as- sessment, reduced from £2000 to £500; Mr. Joseph l‘ipher’s to remain as valued by the Assessor; “iliiam Spufibrd’S personal propmty ame: from Assessment, and his real estate to remajn at the Assessor’s val- ‘uatl‘ofl'f’l’hos’.

Councnlman Bowman thvn moved that the ordinary business of the Council be post- poned, and the Court of Revision be formed forthwith. The motion was svconded by Councilman l‘ingle, and carried. On taking'the eliair, the Reeve suggested that as the time for the Revision of the As- sessment Rolls had expired; and as there ware several persuns present who had inli- mated their intention to appeal from the de- cision of Mr. Gibson, Assessor for the East half of the Township. the Council should at once resoli'e itself into a Court of Revi- sion, after which the usual business could be transacted. ‘~ 7 On Tuesday last a meeting of the Muni- cipal Council of the Township of Markham, was held, pursuant to adjournment, at Size’s Uotel,in the Village of Unionville.

Mr. Coroner Panet then addressed the Jury to the following el’fect. Gentlemen :â€"-- As you haVe paid very great attention to the evidence, it is quite unneceSsary for me to recapitulate it, or make along charge. One fact must have have struck you, and that is, that the Captain did not do his duty. under the trying circumstances in which he was placed, towards his passengers; and that, in going on board of the steamer which he com- mended, they dill not meet with that security which all passengers expect, and are certain- ly entitled to. There were neither boats. nor life pro-servers. nor the other necessary means required by law on board, for the safety of passengers, in the event of accidhnt to a steamer. The “ Montreal” was in charge ofa captain who continued to keep her on her course after she was dangerously on fire, passing places proper for safely landing his passengers: and when these pasâ€" sengers became excited, he gave himself [in trouble whatever in attempting to quell the excitement. He appeared to be nowhere at all; and, indeed, there seemed to be no om: on board eXercising control. The pilot, iii- stead of remaining at his post abandoned it. The boat apparently went aground by its own impetus, and without Tguidance ;â€"â€"anrl there is, In iny‘opihion, Gentlemen,--â€"but it is for you to decideâ€"~evidence enough to enable you to bring in a verdict of man slaughter against the owner, and the captain; and that without imputing to them a wilful intention to do wrong or t9; have committed that crime 0t which they undoubtedly are guilty.
