Our next restin place was at- wherewernet Richard Darlington late of Colborne township. He 'eca.s on his way to Hamilton, to bring hi ii family from thence to Goderich. Mr. Darlington made the night pleasant with bib relations of horse races, steeple chases, _and hunting 'in Ireand. Mr. Sebaugh th ia occupied a most wretched shanty, floo d with bass- wood slabs which served fo seats at the fire, which was down in a hiele at one end of the buildneg. The old gentleman told us that he had nine boys,and related many of the hardships and priyhtiens of him- self and others the first setilera, who were the'teioneers of1828 and '39.f Mr. Darling- ton and ourself were bedfellows.But sleep on account of a lihndied other bed- fellows was out ofthequestion.

He offered the Landlord 50 cts. for leave to search for whisky, and to the old man's surprise found a little • jug containing a quart of peer stuff, which was hid beneath a Peet of bark in a corner. We left early next morning for Mitchell where we breakfasted with Black John in what had been a board shanty. John was the only settler inMitchell. He made shingles in the woods and carried them out on his back -from the pine swamp. He was the strongest rnani of his size we have ever seen, and as kind and generous, as strong. He was a Spaniard.

On Lake Erie. the Engineer recommends Rondeau as the most fitting place where a harbour of refuge could be constructed, the cost of which fully completed, with lighthouses, &c., would not -exceed U65,000. Mr. Street called attention to the om- ission in the general returns of insurance companies laid on the table of the Canada Life Assurance Company at Hamilton. He was informed by the Manager of that Coin- pauy that the return required by law was sent to the Audit Office in July last, and was acknowledged hy the Audit Office. Sir Francis Minch said he could find no trace of any such return in the Audit Of- fice, but would endeavor to find out the cause of the omission. The following bilis passed through Com- mittee of the Whole. were reported, and fixed for a third teading Mr. Snyder—To authorise the corpor- ation of the township of'Oollingwood,coim- ty of Grey, to impose and collect tools on harbor dues, and for other purposes. Hon. Mr. Carling—Te incorporate the Detroit River Transit Comyany. With reference to the first -named bill, Sir John A. Macdonald said he had grave doubts as to whether this Parliament had jurisdiction in the matter, and said it would be well, before the Bill reached its third, to pass some rule definiug the juris- iction more clearly. Hon. Mr. Carling moved the second reading of the Bill to amend the Act of Incorporation ofthe Greet Western Rail- way Co. Mr. Cameron (Huron) raised a paint of order. The Bit gave the Company paver to narrow the gauge on the main line ase well as on the branches, whereas the notice published in the Official Gazette asked for power to change the gauge on the branch hues only. Mr. Shanly said it would be a great ad- vantage to the country if the gauge was narrowed, as proposed,- and it would be well for the country if all the lines had narrower gauges. After some discussion, the Speaker ruled that the Bill sheltie be referred to the Committee do Standing Orders to consider the point of order. 'Referred accordingly. The following Bills were read a second time: Mr. Seri ver --To incorporate the Montre- al and Champlain Junction Railway Co. Mr. Pope—Te incorporate the St. Franc- is and Megantie International Railway Co. Mr. Wallace asked if it was theintention of the Government to plods in the esti- mates for the year a sum sufficient for the construction of the steam fog whistle at Cape Enrage on the northern coast of the Bay of Fundy. Sir John A. Macdonald said the Gov- ernment did not intend to do so this year, but hoped his honorable friend would be more successful next year. Mr, Tortin asked whether it was the in- tntion of the Government -to introduce a tneasure dining this season to assimilate the law relating to pilotage in all seaports of Canada, with a view to the adoption in all said ports of a uniform exemption from compulsory pilotage for al' vessels ofCanae da of or under 125 tens buthen, thus put - thy vessels 9f the Dominion, frequenting different Ports of the *provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunwick, ma an equal footing, as regards, said exemption, with those frequenting the port of Quebec. Sir John A.. Macdonald said the matter was under the consideration of the GOV- ernment. Mr. Wright (Ottawa) moved for the ap-. pointment of a Select Committee on certain petitions praying for the improvement of the navigation of the Ottawa and French rivers -and spoiee of the importance of the subject in a military, oominercial and nati- onal view. Mr. Shanty seconded the /notion, and urged upon the House the importance of pushing this matter upon the Government year aater year, and of collecting informa- tion respecting the capacity of the Ottawa chise, he intimated that the previsions of the bill might be changed, which forfeits the franchise totenants under lease less than fire years, as in some parts of the country it was common to grant alMeases Lir one yearonly. The House continued itt Cemmittee until a late hour. Finally Sir John A. Macdonald moved that the Committee report progress and ask leave to sit again on Thursday, which was agreed to. In answer toMr. Blake, Sir John A.. Macdonald said the Government had no official or reliatle information as to the execution of a person at Red River. All he could say was that they had received a message from a gentleman at St. Paul marked 'private,stating that it was said a person named Scutt had been shot by the Provincial Government. What was the foundation for the statement he (Sir John) did not know. Mr. Mackenzie hoped the Government had taken some means to procure accurate information, for if the person who had assumed authority at Red River had proceeded to the lengtlaof tak- nig a Canadian life he hoped the Govern - went would notfail to do their 'duty. He wished to know whether the Government had taken raeans to ascertain the accur- acy of the statement. Sir John A. Mac- donald said stens woula be taken by the Government in inquire into the truth of the matter. Further, in answer to Mr. Blake, Sir John A:said the delegates from Winnipeg were expected hourly. A report on Prisons and Penitentiaries was submitt- ed by Sir John A. Macdonakl, and the House adjourned at midnight. Ottawa, March 30 To -day Mr. Archibald introduced a Bill to amend the Act incorporating the Merchants Rank. Halifax.

Mr. Connor opposed themotion,and said that it would stultify Parliameot5 and said the subsidy of last session prevented a rebellion in Nova Scotia. Mr, Jely denied that the subsidy had pacified Nova Scotia, and recounted his experience in Nova Scotia last summer.
