Ix the Provincial Council yesterday, Message Xo. 60 was brought up from his Honour the Superintendent relative to the interview between himself and the City Board deputation, I which had waited upon him the j day previously, and in that I message 1 1 is Honour proposed ! a number of resolutions which were considered seriatim by the Council, and which were, after some discussion, passed.

We were glad to observe that the country members were unanimous hi vain-g-for the resolution, and, indeed, as men of sense they could not but see the vast amount of benefit it must necessarily confer upon their constituents generally.
