tories this we are unwilling to credit until cop firmed by official au thority a dissolution of the imperial parliament is expected immediately numerous public meetings in all parts of the uni ted kingdom have been held and the conduct of hit majesty in recalling the tones to power has been severely censured our own opinion ia the minis try cannot stand upon jta legs and that the king kingdom

as far as his ex cellency was concerned u sf o as wgwdwl the election m s bmwell eq was proposed by pier per ry esq m p p and seconded by doctor dun combe but this was tiuleiitly opposed by c hagerman eq member from kingston thin gentleman in one of the most extraordinary speeches we ever heard used every possible energy to defeat hiseleaion hut it was all to no purpose his silly verbiage produced no other impression on the minds of the majority of the members present than a pro found contempt for the emptyheaded mail thut pre sumed to think he cuuld deceive iheni by his bluster ingexhibition of loyalty and the most unfounded misstatements he dared to ask what did mr bid- well ever do for the benefit of tbe country this question is an assemblage of men acquainted uih his merits and conscious that his superior menial acquirements have done more for the general wel fare in this province than the whole balch of to- rtefl put together was unfavorable to the cause whicb mr h attempted to advocate members seem to fee that mr b brought more talent experience and public virtue to the legislature of the country ijian was io be found in it before him andthathe rendered the most essential services to thecountry in exposing the rottenness of turyism and holding up to public view the motives and the con duct of its unprincipled adherents than any other man in upper canada and hagerraans wretched sophistry was thrown to the winds sophistry did we say why the man s as capable of forming a sophism as m is ignorant of the meaning of the term we would venture to bet a ducat that if re quested to explain its derivation he would say that it was chronic disease the tout ensemble of this prodigy of oratory whilst dwelling on this part of his subject was pe culiary illustrative of the workings of his polished mind one eye half closd half out hiariavring lonjue mi- twisted oosc from oalorc posrt hlfwrug but we will not pursue the description lest may be too flattering to his vanity his next point was that mr b voted m the late kingston election for a gentleman whom hr knew to he disqualified by the 31st of king geo 3 and whom he observed was a nototious traitor we have not space to enter inio this subject ai pre sent to the length that we m yxwh ftul wflftttet take leave to ay thai dr ourady retorts the foul calumny tenfold on the man who had the cowardice to promulgate it where there was no opportunity ol defence on the kingston hustings it was explain ed who it was that would be d willing traitor to his to his king and country at the dictum of personal interest or diappoiuted ambition there too it was asserted and it was not attempt cd to be denied tht this new state of pufitiral ex istence tory who boasted of having served his ma jesty

tended for the sole education of ibe hajfdnzen or more families which have ruled the roast in this pro vince for the last fifty years to the serious disparage ment uf the whole body of u e loyalists and their descendants in u canada this remark is made inconsequence of a grossly personal and abusive let ter s appearing in the tory organ of last saturday apparently die production of a correspondent but in reality written by the wriihin yankee who ed its that paper a conclusion thut every one must come to that is at all acqaiuied with the vulgarity and feebleness of his stylo of writing and the per sonal enmity which be has always evinced towards the praeit object of his malevolence it will be remembered a week or two ago that mr dalton fell foul of the whig for terming the band of toronto officials a nest of runaway yan kee tories this was amplified by us on tues day last by what follows in the war of 1776 which great britain waged against her north american colonies she was obliged to make use of any and every means how ever fijul to compase her designs traitors spies and vagabonds had to be employed and trusted and when the war terminated unfavorably these same individuals who had most probably sold their ser vices to both parlies together with camp followers and stutters had to be provided for canada was the chosen spot large grants of land were given to each individual who had so distinguished himself and from these gentlemen have descended that nest of runawby yankee tories who have for man years past ruled this province with a rod of iron now the whole of the above extract however coaise is perfectly true and comprehensive and no one would have dieamed of attaching to it any other meauing than what it obviously signifies had we not in another part of tbe same article kicked th shin nfn cijtuin frntfetitttfl to whom tiip honor f lomg grandfather was divided between a cumpany lf his majestys suldiers and who having ufjitw for an uddres employed our kind friend ije yankee lodo the needluffor him although nine tenths of the u e loyalists who uteret canada after the war were honest dutch idid other formers who liked british rule in prele- monieutj he ie enemvsaw that his moral courage laib towards the battle field and that the saw the enemys teel that moment tl the cowards back yet this is the man ihat tared to ask what mr bidwell has done for the province this is the man that dared to impeach the loyalty of dr ogrady the latter is not used to arms but we have reason to believe that he would not fol low the cowardly example of the hero ofadulphtu town if a hostile invasion threatened the country andhe former brought mind and energy to the le- gislature whicbthe member for kingston will in vamope to emuute we have done with this boisterous senator for the present but we must look to him again anil exhibit him in his proper colors to the amazement of the country tvtsy we are obliged to give him a transctu to announce to our tczzvz the important intelligence that marshall spring bidwell jvljc been elected to the chair of the assembly i and that the character of the present house is thus un equivocally determined in favor of reform what a glorious contrast to tbe petty victory gained ovei us by the basest stratagem falsehood at the mu nicipal elections we would give up the city t the tories for ten years rather than lose the election of marshall spring bidwell the pride of the bur and the senate 0 4l have delayed this publication to the present hour 7 oclock pm in expectation of of the speech from the throne on the opening of the provincial legislature but it appears it is not to be delivered before 3 oclock tomorrow and we are obliged to go to press without itshould it contain any thing of importance we will isue an extra on sattirdav morning is who take the description to them- ut full liberty to wear the cap that piice to any new langled notions ofhelfgnvermrent independence yet it must be confess d that the iltitr tenth was composed o far dilleei t ingredi- jptej in luvt wen uf the kind men described in the ords quoted and however revolting it may be to ijw feelings ul the sons and grandsons of these hidi- itdtiuls to be upbraided with the character and ac- ifutis of their parents yet if they bring that reproach themselves through the insufferable pride with tihlch they presume to treat imported british sub- jjicts wju lor the lllot part have paid heavy taxes lj their native land to support these drones in lux- uy riftd idleness they have uobodv to thank but ljcmslves abhougl the words of which so unfair ar advantage has been taken were intended to strike a nobler quarry yet if there be in kingston any person or petsoi selves they are fis theiii ve know our friends and understand a tnuiiiiea together with the abuse of the editor of the whig lt his public capacity a vital deal o private scan- dj is raked up some of it of a date sy antiquated i almost to be forgotten as its calumny had bieu tilted often and ttgullli tbe poverty of dr bw- igrth upon entrance into kingston is thrown into jlfs iccili us a crime 1ei u see what disgrace at- laches itself to this udmitteu fuct few men with v lain i i ies tpiit their homes on account of the g then finances it is therefore nothing sur prising that after pacing the expeuces of a journey ot ftwlo miles- lur nine iudi iduals besides himself tliiut dr barker should arrive in kingston with an exhausted exchequer tio much for his poverty subseripttou to u course of lectures on natural philosophy amuunting ill the whole to kssthau 10 of which itfouly were paid is next cast up against hmas soliciting the eleemosynary contributions of i he inhabitants now the fact of the matter is tliat four lectures were delivered at an expense ttfuvft if it kj xli kv awutfcd muad l6- ac ibe lecturer some pounds in debt a it happened lie was the uutl ffainer of some sll for iburweew the toronto mail of last evening brought u- the correspondent containing tbe first news received in kingston of the parliamentary proceedings mr bidwell is speaker we make no rejoicing because we have long looked upon this event as a matter of certainty the majority of the house is not known to ua but from the silence of our contem porary on this head wc are lead to believe it to be small money and expectations may have wrought wooden ince ihe elections we notice that mr- hagerman is called a coward in the article we have copied such we believe is not the case but he is quite as much a coward as dr ogrady is a traitor mr hagerman should not call names election of ib s bidivelti eq speaker his excellency the lieutenant governor pro ceeded today in great stat from the government house to the chambers of the legislative coyucil to oceathe provincial parliament foj the despatch of business a little after 3 oclock he took his seat on a splendid chair at the foot of a gorgeous and expensive gewgaw called the throne and the commons being in attendance in obedience to his summons he directed them to retire and elect a speaker nod stated that after that had been done he would address them on the nature of their duties this address will be delivered tomorrow and will be called the speech nothing can well be conceived more vain sha dowy and important than the whole of this cere mony the commons dutifully retired as they rere ordered and his excellency returned home we have copied from the guardian the result ol the municipal elections at urouto out oft went a metpbersof the council only live liberals have breii reelected as the election lias been a free one wc cati do nothing but express our tegrit that tbccitv should have thus retrograded j but if the good peo ple ol toronto like those of
