There is aecetver General at £1000, end • Deputy iEtta 8. 8I. Now, 1 moat enter my protest against the em- ployment of Deputes, when Principe!. are so extravagantly paid. There is not only a deputy here, but a first clerb, at £J50: the personage might supply the place ot Mr. Deputy, and the business be equally as well transacted. The erne remarks apply to the Inspector General's department: and we hate evidence enough before us that to dudes are not eery henry, for our In.pee- tor General car spend a whole summer •way from them. A proper overhauling of the various clerkships would not end in any detrsmost to the interest of the country. - The President of the Executive Council re• eeives £10011, which 1 do not object to: but the Li l47 4s 44 paid to the clerks mght be easily diminished one half. Why are twn confidential clerks required, the one .1 £500 sod the other at £.100 per annum? 1 would retain persons really of utility, but lee alt •uper1'lits.. The Board of Public Works Ihas two Commfs.Ioeere, where one cnul.l well perform all the duties Deeded. This would /eye £650 per annum. Amongst the pensions paid, is one of £444 8a 8.1 to Thomas Talbot -what claims has he to such a sum from his country ? in addition to the staff of whippersnappers in the Public Offices, are `charges for contingent expen- ses, amounting to £6707 11s 4d. I am cer- tain that this is occantoneJ by a lack of en- ergy •npng.t the officials, who are too well paid, and think themselves privileged to be lazy aeeordiegly: by jndicinus management, Noe -ball, if not all, might be saved.. By the adoption of the suggestions which 1 have thrown out, a saving mieht be effected, on Schedules A. and B , of £15,616 2s 8d. if the work of economy were once iatrly com- mented, a still brighter reduction than that which I have roughly estimated might be made, and the public business would be ones the wore! performed for the ehange.-. The expense, of our I.egi.latnrc ore ex. trvarantly high: the y1.eakera receive 19000 per annum, and do doty abmit three month+ of the year -£1009 tvnuhl be gond and ample corn p•noation for their eery ces. 1 could fill a letter twice the stzn of this wash similar instances of over payment, but 1 moat content myself with a glance at the total.

Drum Bre-Observing that the approach- ing election for the Third Riding of York is taunting a degree of interest which we (the electors] have not heretofore taken the trouble to measure -and finding that the position of Mr. Perry, the only candidate In the field, has been eartoasly, and unfairly represented by the press I take the liberty of •tteMpling through your ad, to set :he •matter right, before the country. At tho melting of tie delegates held at Whitby spesenfw gwaeerkesquImrtreo, n futo t84he... pPreprrsye, as noticed In your columns, became my lot to gneetinn Mr. P. on the no lees important snhject of Annexation -and 1 have great pleasure tit sayin;; that the most complete -atl,lactiore was afforded. Whatever may be Mr. Petry's affianft ,sorts on this mo- mentous subject, it isnot with the elector.' of the third Rpf.r'g a legitimate subject of Inquiry : it is s fcueol Inr us to be Infortn- cd how be stands m tbe matter at prevent_ and the course of conduct he will adept to regard to it during the time he maw be cho- .en to represent Ira in Parlament. For that pentad ern have been made contented. Mr. Perry is pledged net to advocate annex- neea during his tern of service ; and a• we brace sever vet had any reason to doubt for a moment Ms promises as a public man, we have no suspicious for the future. But he hag gone farther in hue explanation to the bebse le m 1 teas£.- r•gerl nrsell that should his sentiments undergo nay chewoa the leading topic of theby wblch be may not be able to apply himu'f vtgorouely to it In consequence of Ars pledges, he will at once throw himself again into the hands of the freeholders of Eva York, Well wadi/ It be with this Riding is porfirefer, If every man seeking alter senatorial hone -tors woe lel make •tmilar pledgee and keep. them.. Mr. Perry will, no doubt, soon' Wrens the elec - tors, according to custom, and i hays every pope that he will, on that occasion give a fair .statement of his opinion*, even on the grave q,neetten whieh has induced me to trouble you with this epistle. The writer of this letter is fully ecquain- 10.10 all the etre,:mstarees of the casE, ..rd we have no doubt that her fairly states Mr. Perry's 0nntion. \Ir Perry, then, bas pledged himself a not to advueaie annexe - 'ion dwinif his term of 'ervsee", but that " should his sentiments" [via., that an agna- tion for annexation it now reprehensrolel " undergo any change", " lee will at once re-ign his seat is Parliament, and throw buiself again into the hands of the freehol- ders. • We learn also that Mr. Perry wilt shortly address the Elector., when he will have an opportunity to " give a fair state - meat io" Weof sgshisiri repeatopinns.that we would see Mr - Perry in Parliament with sincere. satisfac- tion. He is an old and consistent upholder of popular rights ; he has done much good ,orrice in his day -he is an active, enter- prising business man -arid he knows the wants of the country thoronghly. There are law men ta the Province better entitled to Dubin confidence and public honours • and we readily admit that the past eerrtces rel such a man should enriite Aim to greater latitude in hie theoretical political views thao'mo.t other public chime/ere. At any other time, nn member of the Reform narty would have dreamed ofrktrig Peter Perry for an explanation or a pledge ; bnl when a deliberate movement• is making in the Pro- vince for breaking off Oa 11110(11M.* to the Mother Country, when men of wealth and character are openly spearing for annexa- tion with the United States, and when the annexationist o?enly boast that Mr. perry I+ heart and hand with them -the position of &fits is akered ; and it was dos 10 Mr. Perry htmaelf, not leas than to the electors and the Reform party generally, £bat he should define bre tension. We are eertais of rhes, that no man in Canada can ever car- ry the Third Riding of York, who comes forward meowing anaexattnn sentiments ; and we are sun that Mr. Perry would be the last seas to resort to hnmheg or equivo- ey Los of any kind to get himself returned. We readily admit that there is a difference between holding an attract polities! opin- ion on any subject, sad carrying that opin- ion into pesctscal rife ; chere are many tbs- oretieel repobhe.ms in England, and num.- rims theoretical limited monareh(sts in the United Slate., who ere nnexceptionabj, citizens under that exerting form rel govern- ment of therm counter**.
