OT Ss Al SESE Eee a eT INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS. INTERESTING FROM CANADA. Our Montreal Correspondence. MowtniaL, May 4, 1849. The Pos tion of the Minsstry— Separation of the Provinces. Annexation—Recall of Lord Elgin, $c. §c. §e. ‘The ministry sustained a quasi defeat in the Legis- Jative Council on Wednesday last. This unexpected, sadden blow, arose from the attempt of the ministerial party in this House, to get up an address to the ( vernor General, expressive of their regret at the late ‘eeurrences in this city, and tendering their assistance to maintain the public peace ; also expressing their approbation and confidence in his Lordship and the ex- isting cabinet. Finding that this motion, if persisted in, would be opposed and lost, it was withdrawn, The Hon. Mr. Ross (a radical,) then moved that a call of the House be made for next week, which was carried by one. Several conservatives voted for the call, on the ground of fair play. It is in the power of the conser- ‘vatives yet, if those absent will only attend, to pass a severe censure on the ministry. The lust few days, in the House of Assembly, huve been passed in violent at- tacks from both sides of the House, each party accusing the other of having been instrumental in bring’ about the late terrible riots. Mr. Boulton, M. P. for Norfolk, has come out in favor of a repeal of the union ‘of the provinces, and the annexation of Montreal ard the eastern townships, to Upper Canada, The sugge s- tion is a novel one, as regards the slice off the lower rovince, and, amonth since, would have been likely to Blave met favor at the hands’ of both parties; but since the passing of the “rebel bill,” it will be a work ofmuch more difficulty, should the disallowing of this bill not take place; matters have proceeded too far for such a remedy as the one proposed by Mr. B. Great fundamental changes in the constitution itself are required, and men’s minds are becoming susceptible of much more being necessary than the mere putting down of the French. Are we— oF are we not—going to have protection continued to us in the home markets? is the question daily asked,— for if not, we cannot see how connection with England Will benefit us. In England’s hands remains to cer- tain extent the preserving of these colonies for a few Years more ; but to effect this preservation great con- eestions will be required at her hands—and such as | do not think she will grant ; that is, strong protection in the home markets, and the trampling down of the French race. The lapse of « few weeks will develope much as regards the future des ill then it would be vain to gp vime the “annexationists” are daily trength, and, although by great c tated before. onthe part of Englan 1 desired object might be postponed a few years, it eventu tive. This object would be much adva the present moment a paper here devote Mr. Boulton is the gentleman who stepped in at the introduction of the rebellion losses bill, by the tendering of an amendment “ that ull convicted rebels should not be recompensed.” and saved the measure, Since then he has discovered the bill to be an immoral enactment, as it has had the effect of setting class against class, Mr. Bovrron (Norfolk) rose and declared his opi- nion that it was impossible for the House to legislate atall in this city, or to express opinions freely under the guard of bayonets, and in danger of porsonal vio- lence. Yet now it was proposed to take up orders of the day, containing many items which could not fail to prove highly exciting to the people of the c the House attempt to discuss them. No law, made under present circumstances, could have any moral effect ; but would rather, like the law passed the other day, have the immforal effect of se class against class, (Loud opposition cheers.) No piece of parch- it could be law unless it carried with it the will of the people. (Renewed cheers.) The honorable gentle- men then declared his opinion that it was impos- sible for the legislature to go on, as it was now, composed of the members ef the two races, The union had been contrived to override the French Canadian element by the Anglo-Saxon clement ; but the attempt had failed ; and it had failed, because, while the Anglo-Saxons were divided into parties among themselves, the French were hound together Dy strong ties, arising from a common language and yeligion. Thus the latter were always able to control the former. The legislature, therefore, should be re- modelled, so a8 to give each race the control of its own affairs; but he thought .t would not be right for the Upper Canadian to allow their brethren in Lower Cana- da to form a small minority there, under the majority ofthe other race. It would therefore be judicious for the British government to divide the territory, so as to ive them to Upper Canada, (How about the island of jontreal?) Well, he had uo objection to the Island of Montreal; and the journals of Upper Canada would show that he had once proposed a division that would include Montreal in Upper Canada. It was a farce at any rate, to go on legislating in fear of one’s life Mr. Parineav, in strong terms, deprecated the course of the administration since their assumption of offic They would only act for themselves, and do uothing for the Peace of the city. "In his opinion, the wisest course would be an early udjournment, The measures before the House were some of an irritating character, some on which the people of UpperCanada were divided, and Which ministers expected to carry by a Lower Cana- dian majority. (Cheers.) It was’ evident that some ew course must now be taken, and it would be far better to wait and do nothing further, till the Gover- nor General got his instructions from England. Mr. Price, one of the cabinet, defended the ministry. He wound up as follows :—The agitation had been got ‘up on account of the Rebel Loss Bill ; but there was a Jarge party in this city whose views were turned to- wards annexation. He did not accuse honorable gen- tlemen oposite of that; but he did accuse them of getting up agitation with a view to office. The subject of annexation was repeatedly intro- duced, and the whole debate in one way or another, touched upon it. Mr. McConnrit éuid, the Solicitor General had de- elared the people of the townships would not counte- nance the outrages which had been committed in town. They would not. But neither did they ap- prove the Rebellion Loss Bill, As to the annexation, there were thousands, on euch side in polities, who looked to it as the great object. Mr. Holmes, who is an annexatio and member from Montreal, entered into long tirade of abuse against the leaders of the British party in Montreal, whom he stigmatised as the instigators of the late riots. “Long before the Rebellion Loss Bill passed, annexe. tion was talked of freely, as the only cure for all our ills, It was openly avowed—ask gentlemen now in private, and they would ay 80, It was to be brought about—it was their only hope—their favorite wish. Some of the names of the speakers on the Champ de Mars profess it—they talk of it here and have talked of it elsewhere ; but now, for a purpose, loyalty was the cry—it was too flimeya cloak, thrown over the ob- ject, to deceive any one. But disgusting and hypo- critical as the ory was, it served the purpose of the moment, That the Parliament building was to be assailed, was known before the futal moment—that it ‘was so arranged, he felt satisfied, and that all the dis- graceful scenes of yesterday werecountenanced by the tory party, aiding and abetting them, was too evident to any rational mind, to need contradiction or admit of a doubt.” Yesterday nothing of importance transpired in either house. The petition to the Queen to reeal Lord El- gin is in course of signature, and has now near 4,000 names attached to it. Parties are deputed to carry it into the little hamlets in the vicinity of Montreal, so that it will show a fair array of names when presented It is presumed all the petitions from Canada will be taken together in the charge of a deputation of say three persons, whose expense swill be borne by a general fund to be raised for that purpose. The last few days, the metropolis has been exceed- ingly quiet, which is mainly to be attributed to a peace address from the leading men of the British party, praying their followers to wait the issue of events. in the meantime the storm is brewing, and it mainly de- pends upon the Queen when and whether it shall burst. he organizing of the various wards of the city pro gressen silently, yot rapidly; every might, private n ings are held and names enrolled. This organization ‘will be useful, and has been started for some purpose. Openly, for the protection of the property of the party; but, in fact, it will be called into roquisition, should the Rebel Bill not be disallowed, and will be a revolu- tion. If the bill is disallowed, then it becomes service- able for the carrying of elections. The roll of the British American League, the last week, has more than doubled itself, The next meeting of the association takes place on Wednesday next, when, it is understood, important communications will be laid before the members, Col. Bruce, Military Secretary, and brother to Lord igin, leaves for England to-day. It is stated, and I believe with correctness, that he carries home the re- ignation of Lord Elgin with him, ‘The credit of this ‘ep, on the part of his Lordship, is given to Lady El- in, who has, it is suid, insisted on his taking it. en ae is the spirited petition of the Toronto , e een, and e: ‘0 Pn bella: Na the resolutions passed at the In the mean- aining immense ions. as I have Whad we at RESOLUTIONS, 1, That the inhabitants of ‘Toronto have learned, with surprise and reg) that the Governor General has given the royal assent to the bill for indemuifying the Lower Canadian rebels out of the public revenee 2.

The excitement still continues fearful in Upper Canada. “Conovra, April 30. 1849. “The last news from Montreal has caused the greatest excitement and indignation; and our imbecile Governor General, together with Hincks and Lafontaine, are to be hanged and burnt in effigy on Wednesday, I believe, It hag-been suggested to place them ona donkey, and thence proceed in procession to the place of execution; but, in my opinion, to associate such individuals with £0 useful and go intelligent a quadruped, is too honora- ble a distinction, and a violation of the principle of equality. * “We have just heard that in Peterboro’ (Colborne dis- trict) some government building—the post office, it is said—was fired on Sunday evening, and that to-night the Governor General, Lafontaine, Hincks, Baldwin, and Hall, (their member.) are to be burned in effig The whole country is aroused; and my Lord Elgin will find that it is not his present advisers that can quiet the storm of indignation thus spread abroad. “The day of retribution will come.

Spectacle, tinsel, and all the allurements of stage show and scenic magnificence, have long enough monopolized the stages of our theatres, and the public now seek to return tothe higher walks of the drama, The past tew weeks at the Bowery have shown how the people appre- ciate such dramas, The manager now intends to give them still superior entertainments, and accordingly has made such arrangements as will enable him to produce aseries of the finest Shaksperian plays, ina manner that will stand comparison with any other theatre in the country. Mr. Hamblin will take the feld himself, on this occasion. Of his capabilities as a performer of the highest merit, we need not speak; the many years during which he has stood so eminent in his profession, and the universal appreciation by the public of his talents, are too well known to render it necessary for any detail regarding his powers as a tragedian ; but, during this present term, he will have the advantage of performing with Mrs. Shaw, who is engayed expressly for this occasion, and will appear this evening, for the ‘tirst time in five years, with Mr, Hamblin. Mrs, Shaw has been univ ly admitted to be the most eminent tra- gic actress of A a, and in Shaksperian parts she is especially great. Here is a conjunction, backed by the talented company of the Bowery, which is great enough to enable the best of Shakspeare’s plays to be erformed in the most admirable manner; but Mr Jamblin has determined that he will get up the most powerful combination of tragic talent that can possibly and to carry this out, he has also engay- he tragedian, and the plays will be cast cannot be excelled. Mr, Ryder’s su eating Shaksperian characters perforn ed by him in every city of the Union, with Mr. Ma- cready, renders eulogy unnecessary, ‘Thus much. for the tragic talent engaged for this week, but this is not all, for Mr. Redmond Ryan, the celebrated Irish come- dian and vocalist, from the Loudon theatres, has also been engaged. and will make his first appearance this evening, in the afterpiece of the “ Irish Tutor.” He is said to be a most excellent comedian and yocalist.— “ Macbeth” is to be played first; Hamblin as Macbeth; Ryder as MacDuff; Mrs, Shaw as Lady Macbeth. ‘The other parts will be appropriately filled, That there will bean immense audience, no one can doubt, when such extraordinary attractions are set forth, ATRE Broapway T This evening Shakspeare’s tra- gedy of “ Macbeth’? will be presented at the Broadway; Mr, Forrest appearing as Macbeth, and Migs F, Wallack as Lady Macbeth. This bill isan attractive one, and will not to draw a large audience. Mr. Forrest's present engagement has been very successful. ‘The house has been filled night after night, thus making due returns to the managers for their enterprise in submitting to the necessary Outlay for the procurement of talent. Mr. Dyott will play Macduff this evening, and the other parts in the piece are well cast. After the tragedy will be presented, the new petit comedy of “Who Speaks First?” in which Messrs. Lester, Dyott and Ber- nard, and Mesdames Wallace and Watts will appear. Niuio’s Turatee, Astor PLace.—This evening, Ma- crendy appears in Shakspeare’s tragedy of “ Macbeth,” supported by a very talented stock company. ‘The ad- mirers of Shakspearean readings will thus haye an op- portunity of comparing the respective talents of those whom they have been accustomed to see in tragic cha- racters with that of the great tragedian. Mr, Macready differs much from all others of the histrionic art in his personation of the noble Thane, ‘There are many points which he makes that are really beautiful, and always clicit the unanimous cheers of the audience. Mrs. Coleman Pope will sustain the part of Lady Mac- beth, and C, W, Clarke that of Macduff. Every other part will be filled by gentlemen of undoubted ‘talent. A. H. Andrews, an actor of considerable celebrity, takes the character of Hecate, and the two principal witehes will be sustained by two gentlemen, the men- tion of whose names is sufficient eulogy, Messrs. Chip- pendale and Sefton. ‘Those who intend going, had bet- ter go early, as the house will likely be crammed.

A large number of tickets have already been sold, and the house will be crowded. Nationat Turatee.—There is nothing like enterprise in things theatrical, Asin every other kind of busi- ness, “little yenture little have,” is one of the truest ax- ioms ever written, especially as regards public exhibi- tions—more particularly in a yast city like New York, where there is so much competition among the places of amusement, Chanfrau, the manager of the National, however is fully equal to the emergencies of the times in these matters, and does not allow his house to lag behind in the race, It has always maintained a high sition under his charge, and will continue to do so as Tong as he is at tho helin.’ For some mouths past he has been making preparations to bring out a grand epecta- cle, in a style of splendor never before witneseed at this theatre ; and everything being now complete, it will be produced to-night. To give some idea of the grandeur with which it will be put on the stage, wo would men- tion that it has involved an actual expenditure of three thousand dollars on the new and gorgeous scenery, ma- gical and intricate machinery, properties of the most costly description, magnificent armour, warlike imple- ments, costumes, &c. An additional ballet company as been engaged, besides a large force of auxiliary ers and supernumeraries, The piece abounds with beautiful tableux, grand processions, dances, &¢ ; and the music has been composed expressly for the piece by Mr. Petersehen, the leader of the orchestra. ‘The characters in the piece will be sustained by the most prominent members of the company, Mr. Chan- fruu himself taking the principal one, _ In consi of the extreme length and heavy set scene piece, no other picce will be played with it, thus afford- ing a fine chance for its perfect performance. The whole piece is produced and placed upon the stage by Mr. R. J. Jones, the active and efficient stage manager of the establishment. We anticipate sceing a most crowded house this evening. Benton's Tuxatne.—As the honey bee finds nectar in every flower, so the sons of fun in Chambers street manage to find fun in almost everything which comes into their hands. Having used up “ Lucia di Lammer- moor,” in the burlesque of “ Lucy did Sham Amour,” and performed sundry other works of the same kind upon several grave tragedies and elegant operas, they are now about to immortalize the popular opera of “Hernani,”” which, to night, they burlesque under the title of * Herr Nanny.” “A “new farce, entitled “ His First Peceadillo,” and another called “The Fast Man,” will also be given.

The storm ot Saturday continued throughout the night, and when the morning of the Sabbath dawned, the ra.a was ouring in torrents, and the sky obscured by da°k an lowering clouds. ‘The cold wind from the east rendered the day still more disagreeable, At the usual hour, the sounds of the church bells were heard in every di- reetion, but few ventured beyond the threshold of of their homes to attend the house of worship. In many of the churehes there was no service, and in the few where the ceremonies of the day were performed there were not more thanascore, The streets were almost entirely deserted, Jt was a day for enjoyment around the family fireside, where none approached save those who composed the family group. The simple stories of childhood were recounted to juvenile throngs by the parents; and with those who had witnessed scenes in days long since passed, perchance when the country was last invaded by a foreign foe, the grey haired man, with rapturous joy, told over the scenes through which he had passed, while the matrons, with eyes beaming with delight, and a spirit of patriotism Peculiar to themselves, listened with profound pleasure, and breathed a prayer for the prosperity of that coun- try which had sutiered so much for the maintenance of frve and liberal institutions. ‘Thus passed the day without those pleasures of frivolty so common, and as night drew on, the city presented a dreariness rarely witnessed, There was no light. save trom the moon, which was almost destroyed by the thick clouds; and the rain continued to full, as during the whole day As the nighy advanced, the blackness grew thicker, and the city again sunk to slumber, save the few who plod- ded the streets to watch over them, to protect the sleeping ones frm being aroused by the flame from the ineendiary’s torch. or the midnight burglar from his dc predations upon those who owed him nothing,through the merciless and pelting storm, Tur American Ixstirute.—The annual meeting for the election of officers of the American Institute, will come off on Thursday next; but, lke politicians, it is always known who are to be the officers, befuer the day of election comes on, Ina caucus, on Saturday night, the following persons were agreed upon :—President, James Tallmadge; Vice-Presidents, Shepherd Knapp, Livingston Livingston, and John D. Ward; Recording Secretary, Henry Meigs; Corresponding Secretary, George Bucon; Treasurer, Edward 1’, Backhouse; Sa: perintending Agent, A, Chandler, The Institute has purchased the large building. No, 351 Broadway, which will be properly fitted up, and the archives oi the In- stitute place? in their proper apartments, ‘The build- ing is nearly new, and was purchased for $45,000, of which sum $15,000 was paid in cash, the balance re- maining on bond and mortgage. The situation of the house is central, and well adapted to the purposes of the Institute. Tue New Common Counci.—The Mayor elect, and members of the new Common Council, will be installed into office, to-morrow morning. The message of th Mayor is looked for with # good deal of interest, and will probably contain propositions for many important reforms and retrenchments in the city expenditures, The old Council will hold their last meeting this even- ing. In the Board of Aldermen of the new Com. mon Council, there is but one member who holds a eat in the present board. which will be contested, that of Alderman Hatfield, of the 11th ward, Of the eighteen members of the new board, nine, just one-half, will go from the board of Assistants. Fine.—A fire broke out, on Saturday night, in the stable, rear of No. 250 Broome street, which was put out with trifling damage. Catirorsia Goi.—The largest lump of gold we have seen yet was brought to our office yesterday, just fresh from the gold mines. Its weight is 8 ounces, It was found by a member of Col. Stevenson's California regi- ment. It is to be seen at any time at the house of John Mason, corner of Whitchali and Front streets. ne Arts. Hisronrcan PawwTina o THE PROCLAMATION OF THE Frexcu Rrrvsiic, 1x Paris, ny Puruuroreavx.—One of the most remarkable pieces of modern historical painting has been recently imported to New York, and will soon be exhibited in public. It represents the pro- clamation of the republic by the members of the pro- visional government, on the 25th of Feb., 1848, in front of the splendid building of the Hotel de Ville. In the centre of (his rich piece of art, are seen Lamartine reading the proclamation, Garnier Pagts, Arago, Flocon, Ledru-Rollin, Marie, Albert, Louis Blane and others, surrounded bya thick crowd, whose shouts seem to be heard, On the left are groups de gens du peuple—students, national guards, &e., carrying the gold and silver ware taken at the Tuileries, and near them is seen the corpse of man. who has been shot for having stolen in the palace. The celebrated femme entretenne Delille, who was one of the heroines of the last revolution, is also seen In that group, mounted on a horee, and her expressive and beautiful head covered with Phrygian cap, On the right side of the tableau, the two brothers Renaud, wounded in the cause of liberty, are seen carried on biers, and their pale lips are nevertheless uttering the shouts of “Vive la Ke- publique.” 'The remaining of the barricades, the con- fusion of the crowd, the movement of the groupings, the expression of each face, have been rendered by M. Phillipoteaux, the French artist, with great science of drawing, as well as brillianey of colors, and no doubt this piece of art will find many admirers in our city. The architecture of the Hotel de Ville is admirably daguerreotyped and renders more striking the effect of this impoting solemnity. M. Vanderhalse, to whom we owe the importation of this great painting, which is about twenty-five feet long and fourteen feet wide, has also brought with him the apparatus of the elec: tric light, and will exhibit its wonderful effects as soon as he has finished his preparations, No doubt the ex- periments of this celebrated discovery will be much appreciated by all the amateurs of chemistry, as well as the painting of Phillipoteaux, by all the ‘connois- seur's of fine arts, Movements for California, Extract of a letter from one of the passengers on board the ship Morrison, Capt. Spaulding, hence for San Francisco :— Stir Morrison, at Sra, Lat. 28 15, March 14, 1849. On Monday, the 12th of February, at night, we had a very severe gale, which took away’ our fore and main top gallant masts and mizen mast, and split seme of our sails, The captain and sailors say that it was one of the most severe gales, for a vessel live to in, which they havescen on the ocean, The ehip was on her beam ends for some time, but finally righted after staving eighteen or twenty hogsheads of water.

Toracco any Mortauiry.—At the last meeting of the Academie des Sciences a paper was brought forward by M. Carbonnel, upon the effects of to- bacco on the workmen employed to make cigars and prepare tosacco. It would appear that out of 420 females whose husbands followed that occupa- tion, 356 had twins ; but with regard to health, out of 1,000 workmen, 340 became emaciated to the highest degree, and 64 in a secondary manner.— French paper.
