LOWES CANADA . ( Fnm the Montreal Courier , Jan . 23 . ) " "We are happy iD staring , says the Quebec Mere « ry , on eompete * t anthority , that the increase in the revenue of-L « wer Canada , collected at the ports « f Quebec and Montreal , for the year ending the 5 th of January iostant , exceeds that of the preceding year to the same period by the sum o ' i £ 46 , 000 sterling . "
We have heard of a brutal and degrading outrage having been committed en the American soil by two volunteer officers from the Sherbrooke command . We sincerely hope that the matter will bear a much more favourable interpretation than tbe details given to us wuold imply . Be thi * , however , as it may , we * b&l ! bj-and-by publish is many of the cireumstaoees as decency will allow , in order to afford an opportunity to the British loyalist * to express their baorrence of the conduct imputid to the officers in euesfcon .
The trial of Charles Hiadealang came on yesterday morning before the court-martial , and at the' hoar of adjournment tke case for the prosecution was dosed . The prisoner has till Thursday ai noon to prepare hi * defence , but from the eonelusive nattire of tbe evidence it is supposed he will Sot sake any . During the day be appeared quite BDCoaeerned , exhibiting * a cheerful and nnthiaiing eocnies&nce . On Friday , Nicholas , Donais , ihd Narbonne , will be put opon their trial . V »" e learn frem the Courier that the editor of tbe Mfprfreai Hrrald ' t&a signed a petition for mere ; to one ef tbe condemned prisoners , tbe elder Morin , a proceeding which could bardly lave been expected from kim .
The Special Council u to hold a session on tbe 14 h of February . We popy the following from the Quebec Gazette . A full account of tbe murder referred to , in the Hudson ' s Bay territory , has been published in our eoiuians , some twsjears ago .
[ TEHEE X 1 TBKS COB . SES ? O 5 DEXCE , JAXUAJT 18 , 1839 . } Last Saturday , an Abenaquis Indian named Thomas Louis , of the parish of St . Francois , was lodged in the gaol of this district , charged with baring , on tbe 10 th insu , in the same parish , killed an ADenaquis Indian , named Joseph Laurent , ander the following eircumxtancta . Tbe accused * deceased , aad two ethers , being
on the datcrbelbre-nenaeced , at the boose Thomas Looin , nfcresca was made t » a quarrel that had © cenrrJed about fifieea months since , between the deceased and the prisoner , when tbe latter being threatened ( as I am informed } by Laurent with similar ill-treatment to what be had before received fjT > m aim , took bis gun and discharged it at Laurent , which caused the immediate death of the latter . The coroner proceeded to St . Francois to bold the inquest , the result ef which I bave not
k-ard . Tbere are sow three Indians confined in tbe gaol of this district , charged with murder—Baptist * Cadien , Creole Lagrasse , and Thomas Lrmi ?—their respective trials will be proceeded with during the ensuing March term . Cadien has been before convicted of murder , bat by reason of an omi&noajn tie " seutrsee of death , " the judgment ha ? not been put into execution . He is now charged as an aeeompiiee with Creole LagnLwe , in the murder of eleven of tbe Indians of the " Hare Tribe . "
This borrid fact was attested , on Cadien ' s trial in the mo < t convincing matmer by a witness named Joardain , who waa brought down frost Fort Norhaai ia tfce Hodson ' s Bay territory , and wbobad wita < - « sed tbe transaction . His recital of tbe distressing iicidmtt attending the commission ef this oneuee was deeply interesting ; and the clear , conci > e evidence whtrh be gave left no doubt as to the veracity of bis statement . The details of this story ¦ are so horrid that they woold scarcely be credited : and had not tbe compasy takes tbe precaution to obtain Joardain ' s evidence , the criae would save remained aopaai « hed .

The verdict of tbe court will not be made known until it receives tbe sanction of Sir John Loloorne . The court adjourned to tbe 26 th ult ., when ten other individuals were to be put on trial . iHformation had reached Montreal of tbe death or Cowel Jdaitland , at London , Upper Canada , He was the tkird son of the Earl of Lauderdale , and was » the 50 th year « f his age .

A session of tfee special council is to beheld on the 14 th instant . Sir George Arthur has been o » a tour along tbe western frontier of Upper Canada . He was at Sandwich on the 12 th alt ., wbere he visited the gaol and barracks , and inspected two companies of the 85 th regiment . The papers of the province complain ef tbe brusque manner in which he has receired the visits and addresses of the citizens , and affected ignorance of the objects ef his tour . We presume that it is a mere visit of observation .
In congress little has been done of foreign interest . S « me movement has been made in regard to tbe Begon territory , and I anticipate some legislative action for the protection of American interests and citizens in that quarter .
KITFBCTS OP THE STORM IN PHILADELPHIA . — BKsTRCCTIVE FLOOD . ( From the Pentyllvaman . ) After a cold spell of unusual severity which closed both rivers , a warm rain commenced on Friday ntgbt , between niBe and ten o ' clock , which soon increased to a violent tetnp <* t . The rain poured down ib torrents until about three o ' clock on Saturday afternoon , when the wind shifted to the northwest , the weather again besoming cold . The worst apprehensions were entertained on account of tbe sudden breaking up ef the ice , ind the immense quantity of water which fell in so short a time , were fully realised . The Suhuylkill front of tbe city yeateTday displayed a sceue of unexampled devastation . '
The Schnylkill commenced rising about one o ' clock en Saturday afternoon , the flood ooatjauisg to swell until after midnight , when it was estimated to be at least tea feet , or two tides above its ordinary lev « l , which is said to be two feet higher than the great freshet of February 21 , 1822 . Among tie other heavy injuries caused ky this calamity is the destruction of tbe two bridges at Gray ' s Ferry . ^ The old floating bridge was carried away en Saturday afternoon , and in tbe course of the night the new and costly railroad bridge at tbe same place , forming an important link in tbe connection between this city and Baltimore , fell under tbe united force of tbe ice and the current .
We visited Fairmouut ye-terday morninar , and traced tbe progress of destroc'ioD along tbe bank o \ the river . The dam it .-eif appear * to have &n » - taiBed no material irjury , but even at tbe time we saw it tbe $ ce"je was one of grange wildnes * , and we might say ef icublimity , a * the nwellen torrent roared and dashed along it . < course , heaiiug immense masses of ice aad rifts of timber on io b . nom . Tbe water-works which supply tbe city are stopped for themoment , tht Jreshet ha » iog covered tbe wheel * and pumps ; and atone lime tbe esplanade in tbe rear of tbe wheti-bouse was a foot under water . Tbe eual on tbe western side of tbr dam wa * completely overflowed , and serious injury appear * to
have been done to the locks , and the bridges crossing ^ lem . In the transportation store kuus . r , of which tbeiv are many along tbe nver fride , tbe d * m ^ jte to mt- rchandise must be immense , as tbe watrr ru . * e to tbe second story of a number oi these oaildsngs , and in various instances tbe lower roouu are froxea up . The coal ywrd * present the appearance of mere plains of ice , tbe tops of the coal htaps , wfcicb have stood againxt the current , projecting at interval * . Tbe o $ ct * u * ed as counting room * , hi many places , are so tar below ? the accumulations ef the flood , as to have tbe app-arar . ee of being partially sunk almost in the cbancri of tte river .
A singular . spectacle ofiVrs ifwlf bttween Hace and Cailowbill-jstreeu . Bocb itret- t * which connects them near tbe river , u cnmpittelj choked up with large maA « -s of ic « , and Viuf-streei , up to Ashton-istreet , a distance of aoeut 800 ! eet from the line of the wbarfc , U iu ih « same condition , the waves having reached thw | x > irit , tbe whole flooded grmmd being clo « tly built and thickly inhabited . Tbe families we . e obiieed . in the course of the
evening , to retire t « tbe second Btery ef tbeir booses , and , finally , so muth apprehension was entertained , tkat ntar m .-dnight boat * were rowed about tbe streets to rt- ? cue those who were most exposed , and to cmvey them to a place of safety . The ground from tbiaplare to Markrt-nrrret is very flat , and whole 'field * are covered with ic « , overwhelming gardeij * , stables , and out-bouxe * of every kind . The cabal-bridge on th » we * t side , of the Permanent Bridge was at one time tight feet under
water . Canal-boats are lying on tbe wharfs and in tbe streets , a great dixtanee from tbe river—a schooner is on the wharf at Locust-gtreet , and several sloepg are to be seen in tbe same situation . Tbe destruction ot property bu been so great that it ^ impossi bl e to do more at present than to mate a general notice of tue scece of ruin . So calamitv of a similar extent probably ever occurred before in Philadelphia . Various rumours are ih eirculaoon as to the kw * of livw which we trust are unfuuuded , though there is a probability that men may have perished in the course of the night , attempting tu rescue tbeir boau . But nothing definite is known in relation to this .
Tbere is a rumour that the Flat Bock Dim ba » beva destroyed , and serious apprehension * are entertained a t » the extent of oaa > age up tbe country . Although the Delaware wa * muvh iVeiled hy tbe fresbet , no damage , we believe , w * s done ou tbe front * £ the city . In oensequeuee of tb > flooding of tbe railroad , and Other obstructions c ^ uwd by rbs storm , the mails from tie North and South , due yesterday , bad not been received ax oar port-oftce at tbe time of our going to prems .
P . g . " We baTe since learned , that wben the fresbet wii at-fte hig ^ t-t . it stood 17 feet and some inches above low water mark . Tbe eastern pier of the railroad bridge at Gray ' * Fcrrj U completely deroo-Usbed . The destructioa is supposed to baii betru canBedty tht lodging in . the piers , of tbe fragmentx of the floating bridge , which fur . a time formed a complete dam , whka at kngth bunt with irresistible fury , carrying all before iu Tbe frohet seemed to cone down tbe Sobujlkill all at once , like an eooTSoas wave , roaring aud bciling * a ft nubed , apparently about ten fret high ever Fairmount uam , the whirlpool belew shouting immense pier e * of timber high into the air , as if an army of giants w * re amusing themselves » ub javelins . —~—

Quaking Again . ——The Glamorganshire papers have for some menths been teeining with advertiivmenta of the mo « t tumiJ promise , puffing the miracles ( : or they are nothing !«*«) said to have been performed by Baron Spolasco , mi healing all Korto of diseases . We now find in the Mvrthyr Guardian tbe following statement : - "The death of Susanuab Thoniava young woman twenty-two years of age , has produced great excitement ia the town and neigbboarhood of Bridge-end . The deceased had been ou the night previous to her death consulting Dr . Baron Spolasco , who gave her medicine to take , and directed how * he was to take jt « Shh took the medicine , but it did not operate ; and late on Friday evening she ejepired . On Saturday ail inquest was held on the body before Mr . Lewis Ree * , coror : er , and a respectable jury . Dr . Verity , of Bridge-end , at their requesr , made a . post vmrtem
examination ef tbe bod y ,, aud found a perforation of the stomach caused by excited inflammation . The medicine found in the deceased was ' proved to be highly injuriouH . After a long and lengthened examination of several witnesses , the jury brought in a verdict of « Manslaughter , " and a warrant was issued by tbe magistrates for the ' apprehension of Biron Spolasco . On Monday , the Baron appeared - before - the magistrates , who , after explaiaing the nature of tbeir inquiries to him , proceeded to examine the witnesses ; the Baroa himself crossexamined them . Th * magistrate * , after weighing the caxe , found it their duty to commit the Baron to Cardiff gaol , to await bis trial at the next county sessions . There are two indictments against him —one from the magistrate * , the dtfcer from the coroner . The Baron imputes this whole proceeding to « foul conspiracy got up against him . '"
^ Miraculous Escape ' . —Oq Sunday morning , about half-past fiv { , o ' cleck , a lenemeut in the JSatberbow , Edinburgh , immediately , adjoining to tbe house so well known as having been tbe residence ofoJohn Knok , fell suddenly * to the ground . The tenement was of considerable age , and , like most ot the old houses in Edinburgh , it was built in a great measure of Wood . Suspicions ' as to itsntabiHtyhadbeun entertained ' for some time ; but we believe that no immediate danger was apprehended —indeed , » b far was this from being the case , that we understand repairs were going on in some of the rooms , with a view of tbeir being tenanted . The ground flour iu front wa » occupied by a grocer , * toyman , and a flesber ,, inthree separate whops : 'b at the other apartments were unoccupied , with tbe
exception « f one room , where a family , of seven * ' perw > M were' residing . The wife wasout of bed at the time of the accident , being engaged in kiudli-og th , e tire ; her mother-in-law was also up , and was sitting in a chair at the corner of the room—the ' other * Were in bed . They were first alarmed by tbe cracking « f the timber * , and the rocking of the tenement , and in . a few minutei * after the whole building gave way falling forward into the street . . The family of course fell with the house , except tne old Woman wbo was sitting oa a part which did not give way j the others fell to the ground , and , were speedily covered with rubbish and dust . It fortunately happened that tbe flooring above them was made of strouger materials than any other part of tbe
Wilding- , and it became bent ~ by the superincnnibent weight of the ruins into the torm > ofatt arob which formed a skelter to the unforttrnate individuals below against the stones and rafters shat , w $ ir « falling iri . ili directions . Under , this shelter they continued until relieved by the exertions of the police . and others wbora the ooina ot the fall bad brought to tbe * pot ; and when taken out it was found that they had alt wcaped with comparativel y trifling injuries . Among them was an infant of about two years ' old ,, wao
escaped with less hurt than any ef the othew . Thiold woman who was left at the top when < the othrrn tell succeeded in making her Way over tbe ruins to a plae # « f na ? ety . The articles in the grocerV and toyman ' h gbops were , as might be expected , totally destroyed . Thu catastrophe attracted numbers to the » pot , where the appearance of recent habitation —the kettle on tbe grate , and various domestic mentis hanging by the wall in the recently occnpieH house , funned a sin ^ ulHr contrast ti > the ruins tuat wtte spread beneath them .

Homank Treatment of a Pattper!—At the Chelsea Petty Seswions , ett Thursday , Mr . Kytler , one of theChelsen Guardians of taeKensing ' ton Union , attended before Captain Bagiie and Mr . Flood , jun ,, the sitting magistrates , to ask tbeir assistance under the following circumstances : Mr . Ryder stated , that one of the female paupers iu the Chelsea workhouse of the Union bad been for some tima labouring under a complaint from which , under the treatment of ttx * medical officer of the workhouse , nlie got no relief . Previous to herjpntra nee into the house t-he bad been neveral tiinea much relieved by the medical treatment of Dr . Barre , of the Chelsea Dispensary , and she had
been extremely urgent to him for permission to have tb « benefit of that gentleman ' s advice . He bad accordingly given the master an order for her to lt ? a ? e the workhouse for that purpose ; but at the last meeting of the Board of Guardians he was much surprised at the master reporting that he had not obeyed it , alleging as a reason , that as it clashed with the general orders of the Poor Law Commissioners and of the Guardians , not to putfer aay person togpoutof the workhouse , unless they quitted it % > r life , he had thought better to refuse it . He ( Mr . Ryder , ) feeling strongly on the importance of the paupers having medical advice in which they
could place confidence , condemned the conduct of tbe master ; but the majority of the Guardians appeared to approve of it , and eventually passed a resolution that "No pauper in auy of the union workhouses , be their complaint whatever it may , shall consult any medical man but the one engaged for that boose , " alleging as a reason , that if the rule were departed Irom in one instanee , tbere would be no end to the disorderly conduct resulting from it . The Bench regretted tbeir iaability to interfere , the New Poor Law leaving such questions uuder tbe control of the Guardians only ; atill they thought that in particular and extr « me cases such a rule mi ^ bt be beneficially departed from .
Skinning Eels . —On Monday week , before tbe Worcester city magistrate * , the agent for the society for tbe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals brought up eight fish-women for cruelty to eels , in skinning them before life was extinct . The witue »» said be saw the eight" ladies" cut the throats of their victims , and unmercifully and cruelly pull off their cuticles whilst writhing add alive . Mrs . Dork , tbe the mu ? t venerable , of the fair defendant !! , becanfe spokeswoman for the party . She declared that sne bad for three and fifty years skinned eels in the snine umuiier and in tho same market , and never before heard any person complain of it as crue ? . ( Laughter . ) As for " cuticles , " ( ca-tiag a )» ok of ' ncorn at the agent , ) »< he declared that she had never " t-kinned such a thing . ( Increased laughter . ) She
exclaimed , "How are we to skin them ? " The agent for the Society said , that if the defendants were to puncture the spiual marrow in tbe vertebra , about the region of the head , death would ensue . Mr * . Dork stared wildly at the agent , and asked what wan a vertebrse ? Was it a iish or a jackal , or a devil ? The agent paid it was a joint in the ba < : k bone , which if separated , would instantly deprive the fish of life . Mrs . Dork prked up a bit , and snid she knew that was a lie , for she had many a time cut an re ) into a dozen pieces , and yet it wriggled about iu the frying pan ! The defendants , who w * re dircharged , on « and all declared that they would get , a * fperdily as possible , a translation of tbe agent ' s words , and do as he recomineudttd .
The New Mode or taking Graphic Facsimiles . —Jt would appear from the following report of the proceedings of the Royal Society , which we copy from tbf Literary Gazette , that the invention called thedagnrtroseope , which has been claimed by the French , is successfully contested by Mr . l \» lbot—Mr . Lubbcx-fc in the chair . A highly inreresting paper , by Henry F » x Talbot , Esq ., wa * read . It detailed the author ' s discovery upwards of five ye : irs ago , of tbe new process of delineating or . ji ? c * s . From the first Volume of tbe Journal of t «« j Royal Institutiou , it appears" that the late Mr . W ' wlgewood had some idea of the discovery . That ingenious geudeman , in conjunction with Sir H .
Davy , made many experiments , but they found all their endeavours to obtain success ineffectual ; so much so that it discouraged them , and would have discouraged the author of the present memoir had he read the remarks of Sir H . Davy , in the Journal alluded to , prior to the expe . iment which ultimately led to his invention . At first it consisted in laying the nitrate of silver on paper , and by the means of the camera obscura , and the last solar ray acting on tbe paper , a perfect impression is obtained ot any object in half a second ; it was found , however , that tlie image thus obtained , by exposure to the light , faded , and after a while disappeared . By repeated experiment * , aud the most devoted attention .
Mr . lalbot , by what he calls sensitive paper , ( a great improvement upon that which he ori ginally employed , ) has overcome this great drawback ; pictured he has bad in his possession for years are now ad vivid as tbey were when first produced . Tbe image obtained i » white , but the ground is beautifully coloured , and readily obtainable , either , nky-blue , yellow , rose-colour , or black—green is excluded ; tbe » e variations of colour Mr . Talbot consider as so many chemical compounds . Objects tbe most minute are obtained—the delicate hairs on the leaves -. oJ plants—th « most minute and tiny bivalve calyxnay , even a shadow , the emblem of all that in mltft fleeting in this world , i » fettered by the spell of the
invention , and remains perfect and permanent long after it has been given back to the suDbeam which produced it ; in short , to use Mr . Talbot ' a own words , the picture is " e » ded as soon a « begun . " The extent of the value of this invention cannot at present be anticipated ; already the author has applied it with perfect success to the copying of sculpture , engravings , handwriting ; and iu every caaa so complete has been the image , tkat it has been mistaken for the original . Tke value of it even now to naturalists and other * travelling abroad , many ot whom are ignorant of drawing , must be immense . Lord Brougham was present , and paid profound attention to Mr . Talbot ' s papet .
Thk Wandering Pipes . —The eccentrio individual known by this name , died on Sunday night at Mercer Hospital in this city . It appears from his own account , that he was induced , many yearn since , for a bet of several thousand pound * , which were staked by a friend , to engage in bis extraordinary mode of life . Had be relinquished the undertaking , the money would have been lost to tbe family . A-similar revult weuld have attended his supporting himnelf in any other way than by the precarious profits of his assumed profession during the stipulated period . Hence , although having expended large sums in charity , and on one occasion procured ( it is asserted ) a living in Scotland lor
* -clergy man who had rendered him some ansistance here , he died in indigence ' an . to his personal effects . By his death , the bet is naid to be cancelled , and it wa ? his with to Ji * . He wa * admitted into Mercer ' s Hospital about three weeks sinee . ; By tbe kindness of the governor * of that \ institution , he was allowed every reasonable indul gence adapted to hi * supposed fcelter rank at life . Grateful to the medical officers of the hospital for tbe services rendered to him , he executed a testamentary document in it * favor , protably , however , of but little value . As however , he expressed great anxiety to communicate what h « termed ap important secret to a ckrgyman of the church of England , and as he was
visited by such , it is probable thai something may be ascertained as to hw rank and circumstances . He altf > gether denied his identity with any of the persons vrkom fame reported him to be . The cause of his death , was incurable disease of the lungs , aggravated by the effects of a severe injury of the hiBijreceived many yea-rs since , and which latterly ' : M | ed xcrutiating tarmenu . Tbe injury wan otWvery onu'oal character , so much so , as to be without precedent in the experience , sot only of the physicians and surgeons of Mercer ' s Hospital , but abo of the most eminent practitioners in DubKh , unconnected with that institution , who examined the body after death ' , and ine of whom had attended th « deceased

Tmr ScBSCRrPTiONS to the Oxford memorial at the present time amount te £ 5 , 000 . The Late Kidnappin 6 At fair . — On Thursday week , a meeting was held in the Vestry Boom of tbe parish of St . Alartin ' s-in-the-Field * . Th « Hon . and Rev . Sir H . Dunkenfield , Bart ., tbe Vicar took tbe chair . Mr . B . S . Wilke « , one of tha requisitionists , after disclaiming any hostile or vindictive feelings towards the authorities of the parisb , galled the attention of the meeting to the case of ilrs . Crokur , whose daughter , being a pauper in the parish , wa » sent to the Cape of Good Hope , under the auspices of the Children ' s friend Society , without previously obtaining the convent of her of
mother . . He ( Mr . Wilke ^) was opinion that the Guardians of the pari « h were bigbly censurable for the course they had adopted as regarded both the mother and child . He then adverted to the case of a poor Irishman named Hickey , who , after a residence of many years in the parish , was sent with his wife , an Englishwoman , to Cork , without aay means of providing themselves with necessaries on their arrival there . Mr . Wilkes coacluded by moving a resolution to the effect— " That the ve « try viewed with regret the frequent collisions which bad taken place between the executive of . tbe parisb and the Magistrates at Bow-street , with regard to the destitute potir of tbe parish . " The resolution wai
seconded by Mr . Ellis . Mr . Simpson defended the conduct of the Board of Guardians , and contended that as regarded the woman Croker and her daughter , they had acted with the beet intentions in sending tbe latter to the Cape of Good Hope , where she would be far more happy and better provided for than if she remained in tbw country . Before the girl wa 9 handed over to the Children ' s Friend Society , every pains had been taken to find the mother , but without effect , and although it had been said that the Children ' s Friend Society , by whom the girl had been sent out , pursued a kidnapping system , he was satisfied that their exertioBS in the cause of pauper children , had been productive , of tbe
best effects ; He would ask the meeting what wa » the condition of pauper female children after they left the workhouse to shift for themselves ? Did they not , generally speaking , become prostitutes and reprobate * ? and was it not a wtH-knpwB fact , that females in the three degrees of grandmother , mother , and daughter , were now in the workhouse , all of them bastards ? (" Mare shame for the parish . " ) Was it not also » fact that females taken from the workhouse as domestic servants , no sooner went to service than they became "lazy and insolent ,, and thought nothing of breaking tbe dishes of their ma » ters or rawtresseg ? ( That is the fault of the paruhin ' not educating them better ! " ) He
cons idered that tbe Board of Guardians , so far from incurring censure as regarded eitker of tbe cases brought forward , were entitled to the approbation and thariks of the parishioners . Mr . Cobbett defended the BoaTd oi Guardians , and praised tbe Children ' s Friend Society . Mr . Gower , one of the Overseers , - g aid , that Mr . Wilkes was entitled to the thanks of " the parish for bringing the subject under consideration . Mr . Churchwarden Cuff eaid , that the Guardians were bound to send Hickey and his wife to Ireland , and the Mayor of Cork had no right to seiid them back to tke parish of St . Martin . Mr . Staunton said , tbe Lord Mayer had no right to interfere in the case of Mr * . CrSker . His
Lordship had a feeling against the Poor Laws , and those appointed to-administer them , for he had pounced the other day upon an unfortunate Overseer , and fined him £ 6 for exceeding his duty . A pari-hioner drew a flattering picture of the highly moral state of society in the Cape of Good Hope , and said , that having lately visited Cape Town , he had an opportunity of knowing that the children sent there were treated with the greatest kindness by their masters and mistresses . At the same time be could not help thinking that tbe mother of the girl Croker ought to have been apprised of the intention of the parish w send her dauahier abroad . Mr . Pounct-v
considered that the Board of Guardians had " acted according to Jaw , and that no blame eught to attach to them . Helshould therefore move an amendment to the resolution , which he did , to the effect that" The meeting haviug heard a full statement of all the circumstances attending the two case ! * , were of "pinion that the thanks of tVe parish and of the public generally were due to tbe Board of Guarding tor the way in which they had fulfillfd their duties by braving the abuse thrown on them by ex-purte statements in the public pres .-. "' The amendment was then put by the Ch-tirman , and carried by a abow ef hand * . — Weekly Dispatch .
