I from the London Time, March 2.1 W hen our loyal feadtrs aic inlorin- d that the Eu- ropa hos brought us whole acres of Canad.an de bates, with speeches artd lelteri innumerable about the "rebellion lossc," they will expect to find their worst anticipations realucd. In common, appa rently, with sonic members of the Utitisli ll juso yl Comuions, they will expect to hear thai the Cana dian rebels, huving now got the u;.per hand, sre screwing the unloi tuuato HaysJists w.th s vengeanco; and thst Msrs. Pspineau, Wollred, Nelson, Mack kenxi, anJ Co., are now r veiling in the plunder o1 the lories, We are very sorry to disappoint thai love of the marvellous and the dreadful which can feel s sort of pleasure even in the calamities of meri torious uieii. Blank and uninteresting as the an nouncement wilj be, truth cmnpels iut to say thai thus far there is no real ground fur the panic winch has suddenly selxed a portiou of tliu public on Ca nadian affaire. No act has been passul ; there is not even s bill before the Colonial Parliament ; there ia not even a definite scheme of compensation j there lan t a single nsme, or a single claim actually ad mitted by the Ltginlaturc ; the whole is as yel in nu bibtu; it Is true there hss been a tremendous snd moat noisy Incubation ; the Lower House si Mon treal nas held sn almost continuous session lor a flfrtniglit, the opposition have made speeches by re lays, snd but for a vigorous effort and a little slrute gy, would have been speaking al tills moment ; but we aesurs'Our readers, incrediblo ss il may appear, that (he origin and rosuU of a row which lias almost assumed the form of s grand loyalist snd lalwlhnn, msy be comprised in tins i-hort and simple resolu tion, moved by the Min.

Tho cormnlssion, finding that some of the claimants wers (he gentlemen who had themselves d"no the mischiefby taking part In the rebollion, ai-keU lor lunner lnstrucusns, anu received them, to the .effect that every claimant should be admitted, except on lagal proof of treason able practices. The commission waa not a judicial body, and had no means of deciding on questions of guilt, except where there existed a conviction in a court ol law. So matters stood before 'he present ministry came in, nd under the very persons who now head the oposition. It is evident therefore thainothing can be objected to the present resolu tion which could not equally be objected to what has been done Ion:; before under very different au spices, wruit, then is mo peculiarity onne ptnseni case? First and foremoEt comes the. unpalatable lad that whut was the disaffected and rebellious patty in 1R37 is now In power, and cdmmaiidsia majority in tint leginlalurc. It is, therefore, sur mised that ihe bill founded on the .present resolu. lion, and the whole course of action arising there from, will bhow an evil bins in favor of the rebels (hat tliec claims will not be properly sifted, but, on the contrary, favored. The "royalist" party is dis couraged at (he fact of this investigation and award being conducted at such a time, under such a gov ernment, and such commissioners as are likely to be chosen. t It must be admitted (hnt there is ample room to do a good deal of mischie f, if the powars that be are not restrained by Conscientious considerations. The list of claimants, which we must beg to remind our readers is not a new thing, but published in the appendix to ihe journuls of the Canadian Legisla ture for 1946, contains 2,176 names, and the totul sum claimed isjE241,975. A violent partisan ass rts Miat nine-tenths of the claimants are of Frcncn Canadian otigin. Most of the claims arc for prop erty destroyed, but some are for casual, epeenlalive, or imagina y losses. Among the latter sort are elating lor lovs of time while in exile or in prison, claims for presumed loss of business in consequence of the disturbed state of the coun ry, and demands for the repoymoot of passage money from Bermuda to Australia. Oneoftheinos impudent demands, says the colonial journal we rcfor to, is that for a sum of 327 12s. 6d. taken from the treasury of the church of St. Cyprien, forcibly ntt red by Dr. Cote, against the will and remonstrance of the churchwardens," the fact evidently beino; that Dr. Cote, and the physical force of the parish, being Roman Catholiqs and unhappily also rebels, upplied to the purpose ot the rebellion the fund of their uwu church, und now demand that the Colonial Legisluliite shall make good that sacrilege, and ho reimburse to the rebels the costs uf llieir rebellion. That these claims will be met in a pari iul or an indiscriminate manner is only a m iller of surmise. That (hey will not all be granted is evident from the fact inai on going into couiuilltc according to ihe above resolution, die House very speedily limited the uiiioiint ol the intended grant to HJU, 000, which, from the fart of some payments in anticipation, i.-t 01ly a nuw Br.in, uf XWl(J0U We continue of opinion, therefore, that ut present j it is quite unnctetit-u.y we bhould throw ourselves! into un agony ol iiidignulion at I tie conduct o! the Canadian cabinet. The province, of course, is in a ! terrible excitement. Sir Allen M'.Vab is now out ol I olliee, an I lias nothing lo do ; so to satisfy u muni of more than common energy, he lias taken to agtta- ' ii n, and la lashing tho w hole colony into loam.

She left his houseon Saturday j morning, the 7th inst., between the hours of mld ; night and morning i and In reaving the yard u-ed j every means not to awaken her husband. He sought i for her ut her mother's, Mrs. Mary Gavin and not finding her there, fears were entertained that she had accomplished what ahs nud threatened, (vix j to drmrn Aerie) This she had repeatedly s id the wouL' do. The intelligence was Immediately given to her friends and the community, and every means that could be used were adopted to find her. ITie waters were drawn from several of the Mill Ponds In ihe vicinity, and search made everywhtre, where there was the least hope of finding her. intelligence had been reeslved of her on the Saturday Inquiring ' the way to Taylor's Bridge, end on being Informed! she started and took a road that led to n Mill Dr,,i on the land of Mr. Roduers. Acting from thi. intelligence, thty sought for her there, wTien.rorriAe lo relate, a Mr. Sellnra and snother Ben l li man found her itupmdtd by the neck, dead ! ! a friirhtlul ahim to behold. The article used for this purposo was nothing more than her aron, with ihe strings of which she formed a nooe, and fast ned the other part to a small pine tree, which she had bent over. The location was on a hill side, and from examina tion of the spot sho must have died without a strug gle. The cause lor this rash act is difficult to ex plain. They hud been married only six weeks, and she often said, "She had married a man that shs did not love." She had for some time exhibited symp torn of aberration of mind, and this, no doubt, waa the cause of her (radical death. What adds to the gloom of the melancholy affair, thry both a fe con sidered to bo very respectable. The fune al takes place to-day. Yours, W. M. S. "Kut.Wsst, April R, 1849.
