In the Senate, on the 4th inst. a Select Committee was appointed to report upon the causes of the recent financial crisis in the Province of Ontario. Oa the 6th the Bills relating to Members' Indemnity and the Speak- or's Office were read a third time and passed. The Postal Bill was con- sidered in Comuiittee, and was amended so as to make prepayment of postage optional. HOUSE OF COMMONS. On the 4:h inst., in the Honse of Commons, Mr, McDougall moved his resolutions on the subject of incorpo- rating the North West Territory, which were supported by Messrs. . - Bodwell and Cartier. Mr. Howe op- posed them® on the ground of economy, On the 5th, after the routine basi- mess had been disposed of, the debate on the North-West Territory was resumed, Or member, in open. ing the debate upon this' question made his maiden speech, which is said, by the Globes correspondent, to have " created a very favorable im- pression." It is as follows :-- . Mr. Thompson said the subject * was oné of vast importance, and de . served the carcful consideration of : h : y ure country bu of great pleasure to him. ed forward to seeing it assame a distinguished place among the na- tions, If this was to be accomplish ed, it was very desirable that there sould be unanimity of fecling among the people of the different Provinces; but he thought this would not be promoted by pressing the measure at the present time. The construction of the Intercolonial Rail- way was iceessary to the develop- ment of the resonrces of the Domin- ion, and we should know something about the costof that, and something about our financial position, before incurring the additional expense in- volved in theacquisition of the North West. We should=mlso thoroughly understand whether this Territory would offer advautages to induce emigrants to settle there, and if we were able to maintain the Govern- ment of the country. At some fu- ture time the question of acquiring the Territory could be better conwi- dered. To do. so now might involve us in many difficulties and em * barcassments. The means of obtain- ing access should also be ascertained before incurring large expenditure, for which members would be held responsible. The remainder of this and the fol - towing day were occupied in dis- cussing the subject. Mr. Cartier in- formed the House that important state reasons required immediate action on this question. At the close of the debate the resolutions were On Baturday, a message av.s brought down from His Excellency, transmitting estimates of the sums required for services not otherwise provided fur, for the nine months end- ing 81st March, 1868, amounting to $5,264,239. °. The message and nc - companying estimates were referred to the Committee on Supply. . . Hon. Mr. Rose then moved the House re- solve itself nto Committee of the Supply, and in doing so made his financial statement, from which we «learn the following particulars : Por the year ending 30th June, * 1866, the income and cxpenditare of : proper were as follows : feom all sources; $12,- one He lovk=|' bitches, 4,388, 838, expenditure during the same period, $5,323,085; leaving the apparent sorplus of 82,104,580. "+ The floating debt of the Dominion, on 81st October Jast, was $6,911,901. This Me. Rose propsses to provide for by means of a Bominion Stock, in which Trustees, Executors, Corpo, rations, Court of Chancery, and others entrusted with trust moneys, might be able to make their investments ; giving facilities for the purchases of terminable annu ities ; the ex "of the principl of Savings' Banks ; by further circu. lation of Provincial notes ; the issue of exchequer b.lls, &ec., &c. Accord ing to the details given, the ordin- ary estimated expenditure for the current year, up to 30th June next, was $14.301,301, and the estimated revenue $14,457,400, leaving a sur- plus of $256,099. At the close of the statement, the House went into committee of the whole on the Supply Bill, and immediately alte rose und reported progress, when thé House adjoprned. * = On Monday; 9th inst , ¥he sul ject of the North West Territory was again taken up, Mr. Dougall said hé' would move that the resolutions be not concurred in, bot referred again to committee of the Whole, in order to make certain amendments. It was, therefore, prépdsed to strike out the last part from the word "re- spected"--when the resolution would read : of the Imperial Government agreeing to transfer to Canada jurisdiction and contro! oyer this region, it would be expedient to provide that the rights of any corporation, company, or individual, within the 8: me will be respected and placed under the protection of courts of competent jurisdiction." Then it was proposed {by government to add us the last resolution, *It is also resslved that ior case any negotiations between the Canadian Government and the Hud- son's Bay Company for the termina- tion of the rights of the latter, enter- ed into in accordance with the despatch of 18th June, 1865, from the then Seerctary of tite for the Colonies to his Excellency the Gov- ernorGeneral should result in any agreement between them, it ie hereby declared that the same shall be sub- mitted to'and be sanctioned by the Parliament of Canada, before same shall bave any effeet whatever." After discussion, in which it was affirmed that the Quebec resolutions contemplated the union of all British America, and that now was the best time to incorporate the Nofth West, the commitiee roge ang tgported the FrSsTations wi ie amonmonts. : On Tuesday, the Comittee on Banking and Commerce submitted for information the question whether the Civil Service Building So- ciety © Bill ~ did +' not properly belong to the Local Legislature. The Grand Trunk Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Galt called the altention of the Finance Minister to the fact that the floating debt of the Dominion was a million and & half dollars less than he (Mr. Rose) had, on Saturday stated it to be. The Finance Mimster admitted the fact. Mr. Holton congratulated the House that the country was not so poor as it wus on Satarday last, and only hoped the Finaace Minister would not discover some other mistake to- day, on the other side of the account, Mr. Dorion then called the attention of the House to thé improper. course of the Government in asking for a vote of supplics em bloc, without giving details of the estimated ex- penditure, and concluded a set speech by moving a resélution condemning that course. Mr. Blake seconded the motion. Mr. Cartier characterised it as a motion of waut of confidence, and spoke at length. agaast it, On a division, Mr. Dorion's motion was negatived by a vote of 115 to 21. The House then wept into Committee of Supply, voted the five millions asked for, and reported progress. Saal SA Agricultural Statistics. We learn from 'Agriculture ahdSfatistics few facts, relative to the number of animals in the Province of Ontatio, as ascertain ed by the Revised Assessment Rolls of 1867, which may prove somewhat interesting to the farming communi- ty. They are as follows :-- In cities there were.2,386 cattle ; 129 sheep; 2,182 hor ses; 1,002 hogs; 8,404 dogs; 186 bitches. In towns and villages there were of cattle 17, 152; sheep 13,557; horses: 11,003; hogs 16,540; dogs 8,561; bitches 560. In counties there wero. 850,504, cat- tle; 1,646,973 sheep ; 822,681 horses; 565,176 hogs; 85,876 dogs, and 8,540 tches, making a total of cattle, J "| 870,402; sheep, 3 ge0,s50 ; horses, 979] 385,806; hogs, 883,118; dogs, 97,41; The comparative statement of the number of animale in 1867 and 1861 ws that 71861 there were 1,015, hile in {867 there js but 923,~ Ist Jaly Tast to is $7,497,015; the o | aod imports of animale shows king » decrease of 91.496. vo. were 1, ing the exp i tin 1861 we import~d 5,107 cattle; 4,961 "That, in the event' the Bureau of sheep; 1,632 horses; and 8,815 swine, while in the same yeur we exported 15,104 cattle; 54,941 sheep ; 8,199 horses, and 27,091 swire. In 1867 we cxported 47,889 cattle; 60,482 sheep; 7,925 horses, and 8,790 swine, while our importa for the samp year are set down as twthing. The valae of the animals returned on the Asses sors' Rolls is thas estimat:d : cattle at $25 per head, $26,095,800 ; sheep at $3,$5,285,154; hotses at $70, $25, 096,330; swine at $10, $6.214,880, Total value of animals, $59,692,164. It is proper to state that in some localities uo statistics are kept. For instance in Chetham, Newburg and Stirling, animals are not on the Assessors' Rolls, and mn Newburg animals are valued as personal pro- perty, but no separate list is kept. Tu some of the counties the returns are not complete, for we observe that in tne County of Hastings the Township of Rawdon is reported "wanting," und in some of the other Counties there are eight Townships in the same position. There is no return from the County of Lincoln, and none from the United Counties of Prescott and Russel. With these exceptipmy the returns,as enumerated | above, will be found complete. The statistics further show that there were in Upper Canada, in 1866, sixty-three County or Electoral Div- isions and two hundred and sixty- four Township or Branch Agricultu- ral Societics® in existence. These Societies collectively received, in "Inguirer."-- We are unable to an- swer the former part of your enquiry hut the latter is easily answered. -- Messrs, Iliggins und Campbell are entrusted with the printing of the Journals of the County Council, for this year, and the contract states, if we ure not greatly that "k of guilt are as various as the shade of character and temper.

We cannot imagine the Clerk 1s to blame; but perhaps the Gazdie or Chronicle can enlighten us on this subject. What is the matter Messrs. County Printess? Five months have now elapsed since the sitting of the County Council, and unless you harry we shall have to wait till 1868 has dawned upon us before reading the. journals of 1867.

Uxsaivge.--We learn that a change is also contemplated in this Township. Mr. Wheler, it is under: stood, is about to retire, if such a stepean be taken without. endanger. ing the interests of the corporation, Messrs. Chapman and Feasby intend appealing to the people for the Reeve. ship, whether Me. Wheler retires or not. It is reported that " Reeve or nothing," 1s their hobby. Both men are justly popular, and if they goto the polls a close contest may be look- ed for. Scorr.--A change is said to be on the tapis here--of what nature weare entirely ignorant at present.

The message goes on 1o 'argue the dangers of the extension of the elec tive franchise, and says that foar millions of degraded slaves yester- day cannot be made intelligent free-- men to-day. The President is will- ing to join in any plan to better the condition of the negroes in all their rights, save transferring to them our political importance. The Presi- dent alludes to the uncounted mil- lions that the Congressional plan has cost, and says it will inercase Education is of an agg ve A and should not be neglected, for it has a tendency to disperse from the buman mind the ignorance and superstition which pre- vails to a great extent in the rural districts of this Dominion.

It will require a strong standing army, and probably more than $2,000,000 a year to maiutain the supremacy of negro governments when they are established. The money thus thrown away if put in- to a sinking fund, would pay the na- tional debt in fifteen years. It is vain to hope that the negroes will maintain their own ascendancy.

Tie following is a summery of the 24 9, culation during the. Parliamentary election, in reference to the Assess-- ment Roll, etc., the sooner a change is made, in the right direction, the better for the ratepayers. Brock.--In this Municipality Messrs. Gillespie and Brabazon are having a warm time over the Reeve- ship; and, if all we hear is correct, Mr. Gillespie needs wa'ching. The particulars of a little affair reached ns the other day which looks rather fishy, and is as follows :--A Mr, Thomas did a piece of road work - for which he was to be paid $20, or there- abouts. When the work was com- pleted the Reeve issued his order on the Treasurer for the amount, which amount was recived and acknowledg- ed by said Mr. Thomas. Since then Mr. Gillespie: forwarded Mr. Thomas, through . Messrs. Doauld Carmichael and Gilroy, $20 more, affirming it to be py for the work abuve mentioned. Mr, Thomas refused to accept the money offered by Mr. Gilroy, assuring him that he had received his pay once, and was not justly due any more.-- Now Mr. Cillespie must either have paid this amount out of his own pocket, to secare Mr. Themas' vote r The Presi- dent opens by saying.that the con- tinued disorganization of the Union, to which the President has so often called the attention of Congress, is yet a subject of profound and patri- otic consideration. He says : It is, therefore, with profonnd regret in complying with the obligation im posed upon the President by the con- stitution, to give Congress {rom time to time information of the state of the Union. I am unable to communicate any definite adjustment, satisfactory to the bulk of the people, of the questions which since the close of the revolution, have agitated the public mind. On the contrary, can- dor forces, me to declare that at the present time there is no union; as our fathers understood the term, and as they meant it to be understood by us. The union which they .estab- lished can only exist when all the States are represented in these Houses of Congress. To the Presi- dent the process of restoration soon suggested a plain and simple duty. [t consists merely in a faithfal appli- cation of. the Constitation and laws, The execcation of the laws is not now observed by physical force.-- There is no military or other' means real or pretended, which 'can pre- vent pbedi to the Constitntion, either North or South.

Either is unjust, and unworthy of a man seeking the confidence of any Muni. cipality. Let the Rate-payers of Brock look afier it. Messrs. Wm. Cowan and H. Brethour are seeking the office of Depnty-Reeve; and Messis, D. Carmichael, Wm. Way, James St, John, M. Taylor, and ---- Amy, are out for Councilmen.-- Messrs. Viooman and Keenan are also spoken of. | FP seme -- Good News.-- We learn from private |sonrces that, on the 10th inst, Dr. from the Port Perry mine, which yielded $200 in silver, and $187 in gold, per ton, This is 'a bandsome ed, &¢., &o. © His advertigement will Ottway assayed a quantity of quartz, Co +.| with the Cons law.

O'Brien shook hands with Allen and kissed him,and quietly allowed the cap to be drawn over his face; then the same oere- mony was performed for Larkin: the nooscs were placed ronnd their necks, the bi It was drawn, and the three men were in eternity. Allen died without a single struggle, Larkin and O'Brien could not have breathed many seconds,but O'Brien was beard to say, " Jesus have mercy on.us," after the drop fell. Father Gadd knelt by the bodies praying, long after they had ceased to breathe. The bodies hung for one hour, and at 9 o,clock were brought down, and will be interred within the precints of the gaol. It is the custom at Manches- ter to. give the clothes of the men who are executed to their relatives. The kindred of Allen and Larkin will take away these last sad relics of the departed." O'Brien secms to have no friends here, but, at my suggestion, the United States Consul will apply to have them preserved for his rela- lives in America; and, should they read this letter, they had better make immediate application to Mr. Lord, at Manchester. : The crowd in the neighborbood of the gaol during the execution were perfectly quiet; in fact; a solemn stillness, quite uncommon at English executions, acemed to prevail. i va ot Sole Canadian Public Men.
