government wcaild lake care oj everything without the city but that all within the city belonged to ihe corporation there was a marine huspilal at quebec which when it was built was situated at a

fell on the cuoyeej on 0 ffboqi dr douglas bad written one day to say that lhre was no dan ger and on another that the whole of the emi grants were going to die at once me bonrnsok had uo doubt that the hon member for richelieu had seen everything he described but he was wronj in blaming the government as soon as be ministry he- came aware of the necessity they instructed him to erect buildings for lbe shelter of the emigrants and finding they cnnm not be col up with sufficient speed by contract he had emjloyed some of the most respeelable build ers in town wno had put up ashed 140 feet j long by 25 feet broad besides two core that were being constructed at that moment- a great number of people would not go tn the sheds on account of the disease which pre vailed there he did not believe there wasso great distress for want of shelter as the hon member fur richelieu appeared to think for he was there the night hefore and found that a ropewalk 100 feet long which had been fn by government and which was really very comfortable had very few people in l- hn orders were without any limit lo do whatever the emigrant agent required- the yvjent himself was a kndhearted excel lent man who although his salary was very small attended from fire o in the rmhq- injj tilt eight or nine at night and now slept there ml night he only spove of montreal and knew nothing of what might be going on at grosse isle or quebec mr drammoxo was willing to give the executive every credit for doing alt that could bef done after the thing was brought promi nently before them and he believed the hon- memher for simcoe had been most active but government required not only hearts but heads and should not only devise measures but foresee the necessity that would arise for them he wouldask whether minislerscould not have foreseen this emergency six months ago he conceived it to be one nf the greatest reproaches co ministers thai ihey had been so remiss as to neglect to all paihament together in order lo devise a large and liberal measure the lion member for huron had reproached the citietof montreal and quebec for their want of cooperation with the go- vemrnent but did he recollect how both these cities bad been already draiucd by josses in one and subscriptions in both il wa not he cities of montreal and quebec which induced emigrants to come it was the government and the ctifernment was bound to provide for ihem when tliey came formerly this very question ol emigration was made a warcry and because hi parly were opposed to emigra tion without provision or capita there was very liltle of that kind of argument used now when the country was threatened with pestilence and people died by scores in the street twenty people had died at thesheds ihe day before and seven hundred were in the bands of the medical officers after a few words from messrs ciiau veau caucio and chftrsne mr lafoxratnt said he waa not opposed lo emigration but he nevertheless wished the binsb government to know that the people now thrown upon the country were not those thai it was drsirahle to have 1icr he wanted to have accession of population who had some capita to support them till they could ullivate the laud and earn their livelihood not such as too ollen comechildren without parents widows without husbands- all this wat gwag to the aristocracy of england to tli tyrant of

did not think it was the right time to say il nor did be think that the ban gentle mans former measures were calcnlated to in dnco an accession of such emigrants as be said he desired mr lapotftalvt

of ibal exceedingly dull body the legislative council was retarded for day or two of the past week by the introduc tion of a series of resolutions condemnatory of the union and repudiating many other measures on the part of thc honorable and eccentric mr john neilion the debate commenced on thursday and was resumed on the following day at ihe close a portion of the resolutions amounting to nothing was carried hy a majority of one and another lot expressing a peal deal was rejected by the casting vote of tbe speaker the partial victory can be accounted for by the faol ihat one of ihe councillors no less a personage than the president of the reform association destfned his friends and shirked the question or rather he voted for tbe use less portion of ihe declaration and very quiet ly walked out of ihe house before the impor tant question was put the pdoty in ongralulaling his friends oo the close vote with a complacency which few could assume says dr widmer left the house for a few minutes and thu attempts o account for ihe triumph of lbe government the doctor certainly did reave the house for a few minutes and his limited absence has not yel expired for to my cerlair know ledge he has not been there since tlie fact was and it would have showed more candor had lbe pilot stated it dr widmer was en tirely opposed to i he resolutions and only voted for those which declared facts that were not disputed by any pdrty upon the resolutions which express a political opinion tho hon gentleman determined not to vole and there fore they were trad from tbe chair this is ihe faot of ihe matter the resolutions i have already sent although yon wiu be somewhat surprised at their oriinalion by mr neilson yet you cannot fail o b rqually astonished at the introduction of a matter of this important nature into a legilatie council a down right censure on the government was intended and but for unforeseen circumstances would hare been exprcsfed and hy whom b this vole of want of confidence in thc executive introduced t by ihe representatives of the people or men who are supposed to have a leaning toward the democratic branch of the legislature not a bit of ii the motion is
