TORONTO, Jan. 15, 1872.1

words of the great extra Parliamentar=y

George Brown presided. He makea a
capitai chairman, and it was a sight, to
- see his features light up as he spoke of
the struggles and triumphs of the Re-
form Party. The enthusiastic manner in
which he was received shows that he still
retains = the affections of Reformers, what-
ever may be their opinions as to his
leadership.' A gratifying feature of the
1
;evening was the reading of letters from
prominent public men in Lower Canada,
Dorion, Holton, Joly, Jette, Young,
Devlin, and others, in which they ex-
pressed their heacty sympathy with the
Reformers = of 3ntario, and the hearty
and cordial manner in whieh these sen-
timents were received showed how
thoroughly that feeling was reciprocated.
'Mr. Jette's letter is particularly worthy
of notice. It has been said by way of

all the fuedamental principles Of Go ve
ernment is almost a unit in their favor.
With these observations upon the
.
temper. of the House, I come to particue
ars. Mr. Caldwell, the new membei
for North Lanark, was the mover of the

tremely boyish appeara,nce but acquitt

Wells, the seconder, made an able and

left the discussion of the details of the
measures announced till they Wert

definite before it. Mr. Mowat made an

C. Cameral' alone relieved their share a
the -debate from utter contempt, consist-
ing as it dd mainlyeof a 'rehash of the old
stale campaign speeches, vile slandera
.and vth inuendoes against personal char-
acter. The policy of the Government,
-so far as the Speech from the Throne
disclosed it, did not naeet with
any serious objection, though when
the measures are lireught down there
will no doubt be considerable diversity
of opinion respecting them. Leaving

Correvondence of the Huron ExRositor.
Torrosece Jan. 14, 1873.
The weather for the last few days has
been most disagreeable. Friday, Satur-
day and, Sunday were intensely cold, and
yesterday a genuine January thaw left
the streets so slippery that welkin' g on
them is anything but a, pleasure, and un-
wary pedestrians run the risk of extend.:
ing themselves in 4 horizontal position
on the sloppy pavement, to the damage
alike of theie persons and their garmente.
Last night a frost helped matters a little,
but the streets are -still elippery. The late
RAILWAY ACCIDENT
on the Great Western, near Harrisburg,
seems to have turned -temporarily at
least -adverse public opinion from. De
Brugge and his gigantic concern to the
Great Western, which has been basking
in the sunshine of public favor, while its
less fortunate rival was sufferin,g justly
or otherwise from the lash. of the Globe
and other less weighty critics. Ever
since the Globe commenced its tirade
against the Grand. Trunk, many who are
politically and generally supporters of
that paper, believed it to be unjust in
carrying its 'abuse to such ait extreme;
and we believe that the late accident,
coupled with almost habitual irregulmity
of trains on a road, called by its friends
"the best managed on the Continent,"
will have. the .effect of changing eon-
eiderably the bent of public opmion and
the criticism of the press. People do not
griimble so much at the accident itself as
with what a correspondent of the Globe
termed the " helpless inactivity" of the
railway officials, and the imbecile state
of things after the ahcident. Talking of
railways, we may notice, in leaving the
subject, the discontinuance ammo- rail-
way then of the time-honored syerma of
giving

;Alt EVENING IN THE HOUSE.
One of the first things that strikes the
attention of a stranger in visiting the
Legislative Assembly is the painfully ap-
parent fact that the speeches of honorable
members as they drop from their lips and
are heard in the II ouseeand the speeches
of honorable members as they appear in
the columns of the Globe, Alail or L ?cider,
are two widely different things; not 'IV-
fetent in matter, but decidedly different
in Manner. = Any one who holds a dif-
ferent opinion had ,better drop it before
he visits the ifouse, for once there he
will get woefully undeceived. = Malty a
member whose speech appears in the daily I
papers in well-soended periods, and fault- I
-canvassing it was without the connivance
or even the knowledge of members of the
G-overnment.

slightly lower this week. = Oats have
ahen a rise, and are still coming in ‘,-ery
slowly. Other grains remain ithoui ='

brought forward, and sells readily at
quoted prices ; but for a very superior -
sample a little more might be got. There
