It was doubt- ful if the Council should permit merchants or shop keepers to suffer thus.

The Admirer-Well, Sir, what with his poetry, which, I can assure you, although we are at issue, is most excellent, and his acting, a specimen of which he gave before me and some friends, is what the most loving admirer of Shakspere would call a treat, he compelled me to lend him some rare books, and also 149 besides.

Mr. Morphett was sure that much mischief would arise from English proprietors hearing that their property here was not protected. He would just mention that the mere seizure of a flock of sheep. even if it were afterwards restored, would be very mischievous to it, a fact which every practical man would confirmi.

INSOLVENT BILL.His Excellency laid upon the table a bill in the terms proposed by Mr Mor- phett. To be read a first time on Tuesday.
NATURALISATION BILL -Mr Murphett, in re- ference to the Naturalistaion Bill laid on the table, said that there were a number of other persons in in the province, equally respectable with the gen tlemen included in it who if they knew of this bill would, he thought, wish to avail themselves of the privileges of naturalization.
His Excellency said that those whose names ap. peared in the bill were the only parties who had applied for the privilege. By his instructions he wrs forbidden to introduce a bill for the naturalisa- tien of any parties until their names were transmit- ted for her Majesty's approval. These gentlemen's names had been seat about eighteen months ago, and her Majesty's consent was shortly expected. He knew many gentlemen who were equally des serving the privilege, and should be happy to trans- mit their names if they wished.
