Prince, was taken up, having for ita object the abelition of the Court of Chancery, which led to a long and desoltory debate, but was lost by 9 division of 45to17. Whotber it be the intention or not of the opposition to waste unneces- terily the time of the country, without attaining any co nding benetit to their cause, such is undoudt- edy the effect of thelr proceedings during the past week, during which they have been repeatedly and signally defeated, nstend of the debate relative to the Court ot Chan- cery being confined to that subject, it brauched off in- to i!) sorte of ramifications; among [which, wore the Rebeilion Losses bill, and the condi ern ment, inst year, during the outbreak at Montreal. Even reonal reerimination was resorted to, in whioh Mr. ‘apinean indulged, with much virulence and the ut- most latitude. This called up a rejoinder from one of bia countrymen, Mr. Couchon, who auimadvorted with much warmth upon the arbitrary and dospotlo conduct of that gentleman, when, as Speaker of the Astembly, he oxercised unlimited eoutrol in the lower rovince; but who, he seid, baving involved the coun- yin rebellion, sought bis satety in fight, and whom ho opealy denounced im the House as # tyrant It is really aurpriaing to witness the altered position in which the principal actors on the political srona o this province now stand, from that which they occou- pied some fifteen or twenty years since, whe wore, for merly, the determined oppouents of every liberal men sure, were overflowing loyalty, and who are now the pretended advecates ot thet which they formerly denounced a4 republiean, aud who favor the separa tion of this provinee from’ the parent State. Honse ws find Sir Allan McNab. who was knighted for his con- duct in 1837 and '38,during the rebellion; Col. Princes, who took an activo part iu repelling invasion from the American frentier; and Mr. Papineau, the leader of thy Prench party, and who was indirect!y the cause of thes rebeliien, all voting together. aud by one uniferm course of action, throwing every obstacle ia the way of the reformed government of tho country. As has been stated, Mr. Papineau was the leader of the French iy ab tho time when the rebellion of 183T took pisee. But I mever thought he bad any thing to do with that mad act, which was precipitated by the course pursued by the British parsy, partioular- ly in Montreal, towards their fellow subjects of French origin. In fact, it deranged and ultimately overturned all his plans, end was @ sort of godsend to the govern- ment of Great Britain, for what could be done with » legielutive bedy, which would meet, and with their wher wt their head, clad ina suit of humerpua, to show his disrespect towards the representative of his sovereign, would proceed 40 the government house, and, alter bearing the speech of the Goyoruor General, then return to thoir chamber, cooly adjourn sine die, end gojhome,; thus virtually terminating +ne soasion. During this period ot civil war and anarchy, Mr Pu- eau left the province, and proceeded to irance; and altbough his conduct since his return proves thot he has never been actuated by motives of true patriot et his taking no pxrt in the revolt docs not wacr Hs inference tbat his absence was owing to the want of perronal courage. He felt that his coautrymen, like those of O’Conuell more reeeutiy, had substicuted viclence for tho negative opposition which he offered to the government, and which he was effectively pur- suing; and he sufficient disoorument to per- ceive that it must terminate in signal defeat. ‘That he still wishes to keep the French Vanadians a distinct people, is very evident. yen in the debate of last week, he complained of the meeting of Parliament et Toronto, as an act of injustice towards Lower Vann da; as he said there is no constituency here supporting @ French paper, and therefure the words of members who spoke in that language, would nevor get beyond the walle of the Assembiy It has been a great mistako allowing the Pronch lan- guage to be used in courts and in the halls of legisls- tiou.

You are pretty hard on oar Maryland cabinet member, Mr. Attorney General Reverdy Sohason. ‘These of us who know him here are by no means surprised at his opinion on the Galphin claim. The honest postion of the whig party here are indignant at the cenduet of the cabinet and General Taylor, in reference to the Galphin business, and utterly repudiate the idea of covering it by the civak of polities.4It is toe glaring a fraud, and too, heavy for any party to curry. The word is, exewt Crawford, Johnson & Co. T have frequently heard Northern, andl other gen- tlemen express their surprise at Baltimore not bein: @ place of more business than it is—posvessing all the advantages it does. One among mamy other ood reasons is apparent to any one who has been in this city but a short time, and that is, the very extensive system of lottery gambling, aliowed by law, and generally followed by thegcitizene of this place. Itmay be said with trath, that the lottery venders receive into their hands all the surplas currency of the city, But it would be well if it stopped there.

Yet the people put up with it, because it ge a little reve- ve into the lereny not reflec ng how shortaight- ed that policy is, which, though for a time, it pro- duces a gain, will, and does ultimately, destroy the charneter and energies of the community. The developements made before the Legislature last winter, in relation to the letting out the lottery grents of the State, sufficient to excite the honest indignation of every good and honest man, have produced no effect upon the pidtic mind. It is be- cause the public mind, on the subject of lotteries, has ne standard of morality.
