Parliament has been further pro- yogued to the 31st January, and not then to meet for the despatch of busi- pess. : --- The result of the North Ontario Elec- tion, on Monday and Tuesday last, is another signal defeat of the Ministerial compact. Mr. Gowan has lost his "love," and is compelled to return again to breathe the invigorating atmosphere of the place of his adoption--which, doubt- less, he will ind more exhilirating than the air of North Ontario--where be will find ample scope for his flattering pow- i TS rs to cogitate upon the scenes of the past few weeks, and where, in al} probability, his microscopic yision may light on some future darling object then preying upon the credulity of many who, ig reality, knew not his prin- ciples, or to what they were according their support. Amid all these designs and false iesetsios, we find Mr. Gow- with treatigg, exciting the feelings, and | 2 beh those whose privilege it is to se. | G7Y. the public business of this district, to choose those in whom they' have confi. dence and who are in every way compe: tent to exercise the power which \ will be placed at their disposal.

When viewed in regard to the relative position of parties, and the means brought to bear upon wariops conflicting interests, we assert that the jrigmphant success of the Reformers in this Copnty is not sur- passed by the recent result ai the city election. The same causes which pro- duced the unexampled spceess of Mr. Brown, in the Queen City of the West, have spread their genial influence to more remote districts. The voice of the people--that unmjstakeable and irresist- ible yoice--has given the death-blow to Popish 'intolerance, and issued its man- rather prejudiged theg gssisted 'there PEL AI SI guise to hide the intentign, too glaring to pass cyrrent withont recejving the se .verest reprehension. We rejoice at the efflux of popular feel- ing which hag retyrned Mr, Gould soen. thusiastically at the head of the poll --a result as flattering 'as it is significant. The various trympery charges Jeyied against Mr. Gould by his oppopents have fallen inasmuch as they could not be i being deyojd of truth; the sedulous effart of the Ministerial can- didate to prejudice the mipds of ihe elec tors against Mr Gould, long before he was in the field, have passed scathless over him ; the untiring exertion to greate schismamong Mr Gould's supporters have proved unavailing. His victory is the date against Mini ial corruption. Had it peen otherwise, the public would have guilty of dereliction of duty. But upon taking an abstract synopsis of the main characteristics which have marked Gowan or his coadjutors should haye been so sanguine of success. Ji must be borne in mind by qu readers, that the to success in the late con- paving:stone it Wis laid immediately after Mr. 's defeat at thie last general elec-| no esi tariag the ghee Wares yess he more glorious from the means adopted to ensure his defeat ; the defeat of his min- isterial opponent the more ignominious from the artifices used to overthrow his antagonist.

ALMA. A sad affair occurred at McCrea's Corners, Alma, during the election. A party of Roman Catholics, in sleighs, were returning from the poll, in Peel, when an Orangeman named Dempsey, who had heen severely beaten by them shortly before, cheered for Allan, and the w Hote of the Catholiés jumped out of their sleighs and rushed upon him. Some half dozen of Mr. Allan's sup- porters came to the rescue, and a gene- ral melee ensued, The Catholics ing | mind fuf superior in numbers, and having axes, adzes, and blndgeons in their sleighs, were likely to overpower the Protestants, and five or six of them , {threw down a young man named Mil- ler. One of the Catholics, John Far- rell, raised an axe tostrike Miller, who was lying on the ground, and in ano- ther moment would have committed murder, when Miller's brother ran into the tavern, seized a rifle, returned, and | great hidden shot Farrell through the heart! The unfortunate young man sprang into the air, and fell a corpse. Another Cath- olic, Callaghan, was severely stabbed. A Protestant, Archibald, was badly |and beaten, and is not ted to live.

The last act in | the Election Drama of this city was played at 12 o'clock, last Saturday, when ihe Returning Officer declared Mr. Brown land Mr, Robinson the sitting members ! for the city during the next Parliament-- after which, the respective candidates, in a short speech, a'!dressed the electors, Mr. Boulton, by courtesy, was allowed to speak first ; he presented the speciacle of a vanquished hero, and attributed his defeat, not 10 himself, but to the treachery of the other parties; he forgot that his popularity has very much waned since he last offered himself as a candidate for Toronto. The party that formerly put him ip triumphantly whenever they were appealed to, are now completely divided --a portion of them going for progressive Reform, while the balance adheres to old prejudices and corruption, looking for State favors, and clinging to the "flesh.pots of Egypt." . Mr. Brown ful. lowed next, apd was very enthusiasti- cally cheered. He said litle more than - thanking the eleotors for the proud posi- tion in whieh they had placed him ; he | looked the perscnification of sell.satisfa. tion, but at the same time wore his laurels with be = y. Mr. Rol spoke last, and promised to do a great many things for the Province generally, | but more particularly for Toronto. [tis {10 be hoped that he will keep his promise ! ; People are busy speculating asto whether Mr. Brown will sit for Toronto or Ox- fo:d. If he sits for Toronto, his brother Gordon can get returned for Oaford, and thus add one more to the Opposition ranks ; but if he be called upon to form a governmen', as he no doubt will be, would his re-eleerion for Toronto be sure? These are the two poinis which must determine his choice. - It is believed by those best informed that Parliament will meet, for the despa'ch of busi: es, about the middle of February.
