LEGISLATURE OF ONTARIO. His excellency’s speech. From the Toronto Dailies. At two o’clock on Saturday afernoon, the Legislature of Ontario wos formally opened by the speech from the Throne. Outside the House, there were pretty much the same de- monstrations as on the previous day. Crowds of persons thronged (he space in iVont of the building and cheered heartily on the arrival and departura of Lieut-Grov ornor Stlsted. Cannon thundered the vice- regal salute, and at the entrance of the Legislative Chamber were the usual guards of honor and military bands. SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. His Excellency then delivered the Speech from the Throneâ€"which was as fol- lows :â€" SPEECn. Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly :â€" In accordance with the provisions of a Statute of the Imperial Parliament for the Federal Union of the British North Ameri- can Provinces, and for the erection ol sepa- rate Local Governments in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, I have been deputed, in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, to open the first session ot the Legislature ot Ontario. I rejoice at the opportunity which has been thus afforded me, of welcoming the representatives of the people in this city so long known as the capital of Upper Ca- nada. This day is the commencement oi a new &nd important era in our political annals. We are met together under the authori- ty of the British Crown, to enter upon a more extended application than we have hitherto enjoyed of the principle of local selfgovernment. For years past it has been the aim and effort of Upper Canada to secure a more direct and unlimited control over her own local affairs, than w»s attain- able whilst m legislative allianco with an- other Province, Sensible of the many ad- vantages.which have accrued to both sec- tions from this Union, since its accomplish- ment in the year 1841, the people of West- ern Canada, have, nevertheless, desired a wider and more elastic governmental sys- tem, which, while it should strengthen and consolidate British Dominion on this conti- nent, sfcould also afford larger opportuni- ties for their own particular growth and ex- pansion. This object we have now obtain- ed through the beneficent interposition ot the mother country. The provision for the future Government of this Province is, in one respect, peculiar and exceptional. It confers upou you, gen- tlemen, the exclusive privilege of framing laws in relation to matters within yonr juris- diction, unaided and unchecked by the su- pervisory control of another Chamber. It remains for you to justify by your wisdom, moderation and forethought the confidence ,so freely reposed in you by the imperial Government. You begin your legislative labors with resources at your disposal large enough to justify the hope that they will prove ade- quate not only for the actual l-equiremehts of the Government, but also to satisfy the Wants of this rapidly improving country. It will devolve upon you to consider the "best and most appropriate means of hus- banding these resources, and of augmenting as far as possible, the public wealth, I would earnestly press upon your attention the expediency of encouraging immigration and the occupation of your public lands, by affording to the working, classes of Europe, and to the young men of our own Province additional inducements to settle and re- main amongst us. The enactment of a li- beral Homestead Law, with a free grant of land to bona fide settlers, would, 1 appre- hend,prove of inestimable advantage in add- ing to the number and quality of our resi- dent population. I am authorized to inform you that ar- rangements are in progress far the speedy appointment of Arbitrators for the division and adjustment of the debts, credits, liabili- ties, properties and assets of the late Pro vinces of Upper and Lower Canada under the 142nd section of the British North Am- erican AcL When these gentlemen shall have completed their labours a copy of their report shall be laid before you. The expenses hitherto attending the esta- blishment of a Local Government in this Province have been necessarily incurred upon the sole responsibility of the several heads of public departments appointed therein, but I have directed detailed ac- counts of all such expenditure to be submit- ted to you for your appi oval and sanction. I have also caused estimates of the anticipa- ted revenue and expenditure for the ensuing year, to beprepaied, which I commend to your careful attention, relying upon your readiness to made suitable provision for the exigencies of the public service within that period. In carrying out the special objects for which you have been constituted as a Legis lative body, you will also be required to be- stow your most serious consideration upon such applications as may be made to you for the incorporation of companies for Provin- cial purposes or for the promotion of local A i- rl it must. lio Northern Railway of Canada .if...

Now that the Parliament of Ontario has assembled for despatch of business, we are in a position to form an opinion of the future course of the local adminis- tration, as foreshadowed in the Lieut. Governor’s speech on Saturday last. The leading features in His Excellency’s speech are the encouragement of immi- gration and the occupation of our wild lands, with free grants to actual settlers, und the enactment of a liberal Homestead Law. We do not hesitate to say that these are steps in the right direction and will go far to attract the hardy sons of toil, who leave Europe to seek a home in America. In addition to these mea- sures, so well calculated to induce emi- grants to settle in this Province, we are rejoiced to find that the premier has determined to set the machinery of gov- ernment in motion on the most eeonomic principle. No other public man in Ontario has served the public so long and as faith- fully as the Hon. J. Sandfield Mac- donald ; he was elected to the first par- liament, at the union of the two Canadas, in 1841, and continued to hold his seat from that time to its dissolution,in 1867; over a quarter of a centuryâ€"during that long period of public life, he was a most consistent reformer, of the Baldwin school, and ever jealously watched over the rights of the peopleâ€"firmly resisting any encroachments, from whatever quar- ter they might emanate, that weie cal- culated to abridge the privileges we were justily entitled to under the constitution. Mr. J. S. Macdonald won his spurs as “ honorable ’’ by being elected speaker in 1852 ; he continued to preside over the deliberations of the House of As- Last Tuesday evening, the Rev. Wm. Stevenson delivered a lecture on <l Curiosity and Cttrious people” at the Temperance Hall in this tillage, under the auspices of the above Socity. The lecture on a subject which even in name was attractive, was no less so in its com- pound parts, being replete with instruc- tion, containing ideas rich and varied, conveyed to the audience in chaste and beautiful language, and delivered with the^eloquence for which the Rev. gentle- man is deservedly popular. The audi- ence wag such as might have been ex- pected under the circumstances, there not being a sufficient number present to realize half the expenses incurred by the committee. We regret to see the apathy manifested by the public in this locality; in reference to lectures. The committee in connection with the Institute, have from the commencement put forth the most energetic efforts to procure the services of educated and talented gentle- men to deliver lectures to the publicj the one recently delivered was the tenth provided by the officers of the Institute, hitherto their laudable elforts have not been appreciated so that it need not be a matter of surprise, if this part of the programme of instructive entertainment arranged by the Institute should no long- er be attended to. We beg to remind our readers that the Rev. Cha’s Fish of Streetsville, and the Rev. E. II. Dewart of Toronto, will preach Missionary Sermons in the Wes- leyan Church in this Village, on Sab- bath. The Annual Missionary meeting, will be held in the same place on next Wednesday evening, when addresses may bo expected from Rev’s. E. Wood, D.D., M. Fawcett and E. II. Dewart. Annual School Meetingsâ€"Wed- nesday next, being the day appointed by law (the second Wednesday in January) for holding the Annual Meeting of the rate-payers of the various School Sec- tions, we anticipate a lively time in our own Section when the question of “ Free School'’ or “No Free School’’ will be tested again. Re-opening of the Richmond IIill County Grammar School.â€"We are requested to announce to our numerous readers, throughout the County of York,, that the Richmond Hill County Gram- mar School will commence the “ Winter Term ” on Tuesday next, the 7th inst. The terms arc free to all pupils residing in the county. Township Elections. â€" Monday next is fixed, by law, for the election of Reeves, Deputies and Councilmen to serve in eaeh Township for the ensuing year. The elections are held the same day throughout the Province. Electors will do well to remember that the new law does not admit of a second day’s your endeavour, while affording due eucour- agemeut to individual enterprise, to protect the interest of tlife public at large, from tile consequences of rash or ill-advised specula- tions. In the fulfilment of these onerous and responsible duties, I have the utmost confi- dence in yonr zeal and fidelity to the trust committed to you by the Constitution, and in your loyalty and attachment to the person and Government of Our Gracious Sovereign. Rut I would beseech you always to remember that, while your immediate functions are limited to matters of local concern, you form the most prominent and populous portion of a New-born Dominion, which, I venture to hope will ere Ion ' extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and be the home of a vast multitude of thriving and contented subjects of the British Crown. Your own position in tliooew Confederacy, weighty and influen- tial as it now is, will hereafter become rela- tively of increasing magnitude, according to the degree of prudence, sagacity and fore- thought you may evince in the management of the important interests entrusted to your care. May the blessing of Almighty God accom- pany your deliberations, and make them conduce to the public welfare and to the lasting happii.ess of the people of Ontario 1 At the close of the'Speech His Uxcellency bowed and retired ; ar.d the Juages ar.d ministers, officers and ladies, having left the Chamber, proceedings were resumed at about a quarter to three. The SPEAKER then took the chair and informed hon. gentlemen that in the name of the House and on their behalf he had made his humble petition to His Excellency, claiming all their rights and privileges, and that IPs Excellency was pleased to say that these would be fully granted.

The guides to Chamoun; are upwards of 200 in number. sembly until June 1854, when parlia-1 pollii). mcnt was suddenly dissolved, and the Ilincks’ administration appealed to the people. It was at the closing scene of the very brief session of parliament in June 185-1, when Lord Elgin, by advice of his ministers, summoned the House of Assembly to attend in the Legislative Council Chamber, with a view to dissolv- ing parliamentâ€"that the Honorable J. Sandfield Macdonald, in his capacity of speaker,.in a manly and dignified tone, en tered his protest against the course taken by His Excellency,in dissolving parliament before sufficient businessItad been done to constitute a session. His correspondence with Lord Monck, on the Militia ques- tion, when premier of the Macdonald- Sicott administration, is another in- stance of his manly and dignified re- sistance of what he, and his then' eo'leagues, deemed a measure that “ought not be entertained by a people inheriting the freedom cultivated by British institu- tions it was a proposal from Downing street to remove the control of funds, re- quired for Militia purposes, from the do- main of parliament! Mr. Macdouald’s voice, in office or out of office, has been at all times raised in behalf of the people> and no other man, holding the exalted positions which ho occupied, has ever shown as determined a resistance to en- croachments, by the colonial office, on our rights and privileges. He has always been an advocate lor economy in the management of our public affairs, and is now giving further proof of his desire to to inaugurate our new system of local government in a way that is best suited to our circumstances. We hope to see Mr. Macdonald's government well sus- tained, and that every facility will be afforded him to carry out measures that will benefit the country, and bear as lightly on the people as possible. Death of the President of the Council.â€"We regret to announce the death of the Honorable Adam Johnston Fergusson Blair, President of the Coun - cil of the Dominion of Canada; he died suddenly, at Ottawa, on Sunday last. Missionary Meeting.â€"To be held on Monday Evening the 6th January, 1868, in the Presbyterian Church, Rich- mond Hill. The Rev. Mr. Fletcher of Scarboro, the Rev. Mr. Duncan of Markham will be present and address the meeting.. Abbott, the engineer of the train which- mot with such a fearful accident at Harlow bridge, near Northfield, Vt., says he was absent minded at the time, and “ never thought” but that he was driving along the line as usual, having forgotten that the bridge was burned. It will be a good thing to first discharge that chap, and then send him to state prison for the remainder of his days. It will aid his memory. At Androscoggle, Me., in the heart of the lumber region of that State, wood, for fuel, is said to be as high as eight dollars a cord. This is said- to be owing to the increasing scarify of forest trees and- the diminished amount of lumber being cut. A Maine pa- per says there will not be half the amount ot lumbering in that region this winter that there1 has generally been for a number of years. • A CONVEr.SAffOX with a Stroxg Fkencii Flavour.â€"King Theodore of Abyssinia in a conversation with M. Legau, is reported to have said ;â€"‘T know the taties of Euro- pean Governments, when they wish t3 get possession of Eastern territory. The first of all send missionaries; then they send consuls to strengthen the missionaries ; and finally battallions to stregthen the consuls. I am not a rajah ot Hindostan to be bam- boozled in that way. I prefer to deal with the battallions first.” King Theodoree ap- pears to have more shrewdness than he has tenerally been given credit for. AMERICAN NEWS. Boston, Dec. 28.â€"Some half-dozen pro- minent Republicans in the town of Wrent- ham, have had a verdict rendered against them for riding two men on a rail the day after the assassination of President Lincoln. They defended their course on the ground that one baid he was glad that the President was dead and the other burned him in effigy. Several women were engaged in rail-riding the parties, but no action has yet begn bronglit against them. The accounts of John T. Henry, the de- faulting teller of the Shawmut Rank, B ob- ton, are found to be short sixty-thousand dollars. LATEST FROM EUROPE. Madrid, Dec. 28.â€"The steamer in com- mand of Admiral Tegethoff of the Austrian navy, haying on board the remains of.the late Archduke Maximilan, arrived at Cadiz yesterday p.m. The Session of the Cortes commcnced yesterday. In the usual speech from the Throne, Queen Isabella pledged the support of the nation to his Holiness the Pope, for the preservation of the temporal power, Paris, Dec. 28, evening.â€"In the Corps Legislatif to-day, the Bill for the re-organi- zation of the army was passed after several amendments. M. Rouher proposed nine years’ service instead of eight, which after a sharp contest was carried. There were 81 opposing votes. In his speech on the proposed amend- ment, he called attention to the armament of the neighboring powers, and supported his nlan as the only one now practicable. The Bill is certain to become law.

Green tea at Shanghai was active and firmer. London, Dec. 28, evening.â€" Another Fenian outrage was perpetrated to-day at Dublin. An effort was made to fire the General Post-office by means of Greek fire. The attempt was happily frustrated. Be- yond the destruction of a few letters no great damage was done. A largo powder mill at Feverstiam, about 50 miles from here, was blown up and utterly destroyed this afternoon. Ten persons were killed outright and a large number injured. Cause of explosion unknown. London, Dec.. 28, noon.â€"The Fenians seem to be unusually active all over the country. Nearly every houi in the day despatches are received by the authorities announcing either a contemplated movement by the brotherhood, or its absolute occur- rence. Telegrams of quite a serious nature have been received to-day from Cork, giving the details of another Fenian conp-de-main. Last night, about midnight, a large body of men with blackened laces, stormed the Martello tower near Cork. The guard of the tower was overcome and scattered, and the victors hastily collected together a considerable quantity of arms and ammunition and es- caped with it without molestation. The late operations of the Fenians have had the effect of rekindling the public excite- ment, which had nearly died out. Many improbable rumours are afloat, including one that a Fenian crusier had been seen off the Irish coast, and was chased away by British war vessels. A man was arrested in this city last evening on the charge of havmg fired the fusee which caused the recent explosion at Clerkenwell. From information in the hands of the authorities it is believed that the true culprit has at last been captured. London, Dec. 31, noon.â€"Later advices have been received here from the expedition now marching into the heart of Abyssinia. It is reported that King Theodore, on ascer- taining the extent and power of the measures taken by the Governmeut to effect the lib- erty of the English captives, voluntarily re- leased them himself. A horse was recently put under the influ- ence of chol Drofurm in Brunswick, Me., and a tumor was extracted from his eye. It is said that there are eight women to one man in Sonora.

There is now in the river Tees a schooner of 82 tons register, named John Byrkins, which was built at Catcombe, in the county of Gloucester, 1762. Thi3 vessel is trading regularly between Middlesbrough and Leith, and is pronounced to be in a sound state. A few days since a young man named P. Gearin',- engaged in cutting cordwood for Mr. Donald Robinson, at Queenston Heights, fell upon a circular saw, which instantly 1 cut his body in twain lengthwise. Deceased was much esteemed, ana was the sole sup- port of aged parents. Volcano in Nicaragua.â€"Nicaragua ad- vices stated that the new volcano, about 24 I miles east of Leon, had been in violent grand eruption, throwing out fire and cinders from two craters, and lately had sent out heavy showers of fine black sand which had reach- ed Leon, coveriug the streets of that place to the depth of half an inch.

A Nice State of TniNGs.â€"A young man in St. Louis recently wrote to Mr. Horace Greeley to use his iri’fluencc in obtaining a situation for him. He received the follow- ing reply:â€"“New York is just entering upon the interesting process of starving out 200,000 people whom war and irredeemable paper have driven hither. It is impossible to receive and employ more till these are gone.” A gentleman who stands high in the com- munity of Corydon, Ky., under the influence of wine undertook to kiss two young ladies at their house,but they retreated to a room ; he followed. He got his leg through the door, but they fastened it theie by pressure against the door, and. procuring a saw amputated the leg below the knee- The leg was wooden One, which makes a comedy of the tragedy. Ottawa, Dec. 30.â€"lion. Adam Fer- gusson-Blair died last night at. his lodgings, at eleven o’clock. His health had been | falling tor the past few weeks. It is suppos- ! ed his remains will be removed for interment to Guelph. This will be decided on the arrival of his brother from Fergus, who has been telegraphed for.

Finally, it was re- solved that the rapid reduction of the liabili- ties of the Bank since its. suspension, and the prosp&ct of their entire extinction at an early date render precipitate action on the powers given by the Acts of last session, undesirable, and that time should be afforded for the consideration of the details of any proposition to be made on the 7th ; and a resolution was, also, passed expressing the importance of a full representation of share- I holders at the approaching meeting. Burning of Beard’s Foundry.â€"A de- structive fire which at the outset threatened the most disastrous results, consumed Beard’s new foundry on Front street, last evening. The fire alarm was. given shortly after seven, and firemen and engines were promptly on the spot; but with such a large building-, wooden from top to bottom, and a fresh breeze blowing at the time, the firemen were almost powerless to stay the conflagration, until the fury of the fire had been pretty well exhausted. An appalling mass of flame enveloped the foundry in a few minutes â€"now and then shot up to the sky in huge columnsâ€"and again was borne across the railway tracks in front of the building, until the Northern Railway station opposite was scorched and smoking in twenty places. Volumes of smoke and sparks were drifted all over the buildings and yards to the north- west of the foundry, until it seemed, at one time, as if all that quarter of the city were doomed to destruction. But, providentially, the isolated condition of the foundry, with the shifting of tha wind, averted a calamity so dreadful. The foundry was entirely con- sumed, notwithstanding the most desperate efforts on the part of the fire brigade and the Messrs. Beard to save it, and we believe that little, if anything, was rescued from the wreck.â€" Globe, Jan. 1. TORONTO MARKETS. Jan, 2, 18H8.
