Tin: Session of Parliament now just closed, will be memorable for two im- portant features ; namely for a great ilr:rti5’ lit tle acts and a great many large rascalities. No session since' the Union of the Provinces, has passed li.ulf so many petty bills, and none has ventured upon running the people into half the amount of debt. It is cstima- "e J 'that the entire assessable property of U. Canada is worth £100,000.000, The public debt for the Grand Trunk Railroad, for Canals, Harbors and other improvements, has now risen to the enormous sum of thirty million pounds ; and as Upper Canada can alone be looked to to pay the interest on this amountâ€"Lower Canada’s 'Pax- es hardly paying the bare expenses of governing itâ€"the people of the West- ern Province have a mortgage upon their properties of thirty pounds upon every hundred actual value. Start- ling as this may seem, it is nevertheless the fact ; and much as any farmer would dread burthening his property, in perpetuity, for thirty pounds upon the hundred of its worth, yet Parlia- ment has done this for him, without even so much as asking his consent, or having the decency to tel! him, before hand, that it would do so. Does the reader question this1?â€" Then we ask him to think who was sent into the present House of Assem- bly, to burthen the people with four .million pounds for the Grand Trunk Railway T Was Mr. Attorney-Gene- ral McDonald] No; for he made all County Council with that of the City. ; the valuable reputation he ever had and although we have been frequently eitrW duiv named on a map 'published in | by ^posing Mr. Hincks’s “ Jobs ” in | taught to look to the City as a model lio,to„, Mass., nli.o„gt. «,6h% irvLiavm^ "ouneittion with thc Grand Trunk.-1 of propriety and decorum, in every wortb.lcneHt anything about the site! ‘ lie VVas Mr- Inspector General Cayley respect, We do not fear that the coun- and his enmpanv were poioii fiotji L«'av- No , for he had but small fame at best; try gentlem< n will suffer by the coril- •nwortU tlie citV' WiHt Ikstiis.’ 1 ut and tliat. little was gained by advocat- parison. although tliey may be only-! betrayed and demoralised them ; and j not an uucdTWi^n thittg to see a mem- to show their detestation of their acts her in the worse of when the time comes.

The Council of the United Counties of York and Peel has no,w been, in session for several days in the City of Toronto. Its proceedings are charac- teiized by calmness and quiet dignity. No gross personalities or unseemly brawls disturb thc harmony of the meetings. The members deport them- selves like gentlemen, thus furnishing an example which the Legislature of the Province might follow with advan- tage and credit. The dignity and standing of both branches of our Par- liament have been sadly lowered of late, by the knavery and boisterous, ungentleinanly conduct pfynany.of the Members. It cannot,of course,be other- wise while dishonest men seek elec- tion, solely for the sake of personal ag- grand zement.and plunder,without a sin g'e itom of patriot!, m to stimulate them to do public good. There is no such feeling of sordid selfishness in our County Council. They do good with honest intentions, and wish to come back to their neighb u s w th cle^n hands and unsullied reputations. There is no trickery, no deceit, no abuse or betrayal of trust on tl.e.r part.

On Saturday last he was conveyed from Toronto jail to Cay uga, in the vicinity of which the veritable Townsend formerly resided, and where he was intimately known, A large number of individuals have visited him in his cell, and we are it> formed that it is the opinion of tiie great majority that he does not bear the least resemblance to Townsend, that his voice, his eyes, and his very shape and size arc different'.
