Durlng the existing suspension of the Consti-
.utlon OF Lower Canada, special council has
been nominated by the administrator of the gov
ernment, Sir John ColbOrne, which is now in
session at Quebec. The members have been
named on the spur of the occasion, for the pur-
pose OF continuing some acts which would ex-
pre- on the lst of May, and to consider such
other legislative measures as 1t is indispensable
should be Immediately adopted The Council
mas no inltiatory power, but their consent is ne
cessary to give force OF law to such ordinances as
the administrator may submit to their considera-
ton. Their duties will cease on the arrival of
the Governor General, Lord Durham.


NO further executions have taken place for
treason In Upper Canada since those of Lount and
Maithews. 1t appears probable that the remain
ing persons convicted of that crime will be either
sentenced to transportation or pardoned. A man
OF the name of BENJAMIN S. Dawson has been
arrested at Lewiston, in this State, on warrant
issued by Justice of Peace, and thrown into
Jai at Lockport, on charge of being concern
ca IN the destruction of the steamboat Caroline
his conduct is very silly and improper. The
Canadian Government having assumed all the
responsibility of the act, it is from them redress
ought TO be sought, not from the individuals en-
pioyed by them in its commission.


The Kinglon GU. c. Chronicle has the fol-
lowing:


Mr.. Vail, well known among the corps diplo-
matte, arrived in town this morning from Mon
treal.


We understand that Mr.. Vail is on mission
from the cabinet at Washington, TO visit the
American prisoners confined in these provinces
for political offences. He visited the prisoners
taken at Hickory Island and confined in For
Henry this forenoon.


very likely story indeed! that the American
Government should have employed any person
on such mission.
