we however hasten to mate some amends by giving a short account of the transactions of the past few days although we sniggeredand grinned at iht petition of mr dalton to breed t water fish in fresh water lakes yet it appears that on the 19th uli our sa pient house of assembly thought the project no laughing matter and in pe of the cty sensible remarks of dr duncomhe the petition was actual ly referred to the cummin of supply who from all that can be gathered will grant a sum of money to try an experiment that will render the province the ridicule ofthe world on the same day mr smmsnnabill for monopo lizing all bank iraniciions in the province to the present chartered hacks was very properly kicked out of the house mr bidwell said that great as this house might be in legislation it could not prevent the circulation ofthe notes ofthe montreal bank they were of great benefit to the country though they may reduce rhe profits of the banks here the effect of this bill would be to restrict commercial enterprise in a very great degree it might deprive these foreign bank as they are called of hostile feelings towards us which would be more injurious to ns than it would be to then if a measure was brought for ward to restrict circulatron of ootes under 20 shillings he would support it as it weald have ihc effect ol producing a great circulation of metallic currency throughout the country which would benefit the poor man he thought it unwie and impolitic to introduce a measure of this kind and he hoped ii wonld fal- on the 20th mr terry succeeded in passing his hill for the sale ofthe clergy reserves through a second reading upon which a wry animated debate cnsuerl displaying the great talents of mr bidwell in a striding manner the length of which entirely precludes its publication on the 24ih the bill was read a tlnrd time and passed on the 22nd mr- robinson moved the order of the day for increases ihe charter ofthe york and kingston banks this motion gave rise to some very severe reflectinn hy m flfc u thr conduct ofthe president ofthe york bank w ho in h s lace as legislative councillor argued against the propriety of passing the hamilton cohourbank rills fur ihese reason vis that there exists no ne cessity for incretsing the circulating medium in the province that the passage of ihe hills would en- dancer ihe biln now under the consideration of thr kinds government that there are not persons in the outer districts capable of managing the opera tions ofa bank mr mcnab said he could attach little weight to these objections as regards the first anv our hose ideas of the wants of the country extend beyond the limits of the home district knows to the contmry and if there is any thine in the ohjec- ion surely it ouffht to apply to the bills under thr

canada had one great bank been es tablished iih branches in every district ol ihi province not however completely under the control ofthe directors in york it might have mwld a good furkse but now having chartered a srtotul bank there could be no objection to a third it was his belief that the commercial bank of iw midland district never would have received it charier had it not not been for

house to encrease the charter of the vpper canada bank what would the country think and say 1 will they not have reason to complai w their representatives he would repeat that he deeply regretted that the head of the york lank should have felt it his dutv to have voted against the establishment of other banks when the cpper canada bonk had under his good management at tained such a standing all over the world the hon ipember for simcoe who wished to get the matter back to the order of the day would no doubt advo cate the necessity but he would do donbt advocate the necegsityi but he would recommend him mt to presa it for now was the time for that hou o make a stand hear eaf and the hon member might rely upon it he was reckoning without his host this house was in his opinion much better capable of judging of the wants of thr province than the hon leg council and ihe hon member for simcoe could not expect that house wvuld abandon their views merely to adopt those of the leg- council

toward each than the strict occasion warrants when we describe the gentlemen we allude to as high and ultra toriea we have their writings as our guide and their own expressions for our excuse but when these same gentlemen point us out as ol radical notoriety it would be as well for them to find one single paragraph in the whole course ol of our late or present writing which breathes any spark of what may be purely termed ratim politi cal doctrine our humble endeavors are to sec es tablished within this province the same good govern ment which exists in great britain as british whigs are at the head of his majestys councils at home so it is our wish to see british whigs sup plant canadian and yankee tories in the execu tive and legislative colonial assemblies and there fore until our opponents can point out any one ex pression or action which goes beyond this legitimate object of ambition and has a tendency towards an archy or even republicanism of any kind we shall consider ourselves politically slandered when ac cused of radicalism it is possible that envy or jealousy of our adver tising patronage and increasing circulation may be attributed by others as the cause which actuated so many acrimonious expressions after so leng a si lence an imputation which it behooves the gentle men ofthe chronicle to remove it is true we may have some reasons for knowing that such a sordid motive does not exist hut the public may judge dif ferently and less dependence will be placed upon their statements hereafter than their worth may de serve in requesting therefore that during these electioneering contests personalities on both sides may be abstained from we do it as much out of re gard to our opponents astoourself but if itis deem ed highly necessary to the tory cause that
