BEER-SHOPS. The Earl of HAUB() WILY, punuent to notice, nee to move for the appointment of a select committee on the opera tion of the acts for the rale of beer. The noble earl pointed out some of tke evils arising from the great number of beer shops, and said that, it he had intended to proceed with the subject at one*, be should have thought it his duty to bay,: en tered in3y into the facts ; but inasmuch as he could not expect their lordships to change a system which had been in opera tion for twenty years, he thought it better to move for a ec'ect comm ttee, in order to obtain evidence on the subject, whin.' might form the ground al some legislative enactment. Toe noble lord concluded by moving for a eclat committal). Lord MONTEAOLI is d that if the object of his noble friend war to revert to the principle of battled public houses, he should altogether differ from him. The licensed victual lers had endeavoured, ever since the beer act came into operation, to prejudice the public mind in every way miaow their rivals in trade. A great deal oil capital, nowever, had been embarked in this description of property, and this fact should be taken into consideration. At the same time he did not deny that some alteration ought to be made in the law. - - - - - --- - The Earl of HARROWBY could assure the noble lord that he was not in any way conflicted with the licen , el victuallers, and that ho would not call a single witness from that els.' of persons. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would not oppose the motion, but to could not give, on the part of the government, any opinion as to the I xpediency of altering the law. ThJ motion was then sated to. THE FRENCH EXPEDITION TO ROME. The Earl of ABLEDLLN add perhapr the noble mar quis (Laiatiqwue) would excuse his reminuing him that he had promidid to Lung down the communisation to the house from the French government as to the expedition to 'Lime, and he had not yet dens so. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE replied that after the conversation which took place a few days ago he had lost no time in comtuunicating with his noble :fiend at the head of the foreign department, and the rest of his colleague, upon the subject ; and he should have documents to lay til.oa the table of the haute conneved with the matter. At the same time he mutt my that neither of these documents would be the communication made by the government of France, on the subject of the expedition, to her Majesty's ;Noreen meat, and to which he had formerly alluded. Re considered it would be an improper proceedieg on the part of her Majesty's government, at this moment, and under circuit• stances he nerd n-A shade to, as affecting the government of France, t r maks a communication its extols° to the full extent of what had been communicated by them to the British government w.ta regard to this expedition, without a previous communication with the French government, to which he thought they were en fled, before any ruck papers conk! be laid helve the house. At the suite time he bad no d.fllculty in repeating, and with greater emphasis than before, that which he stated from recAleet,on, namely, the general purport of the written cstununiea tion from the French government, and which described the object of the expedition to Cavite Voe,chla as being undertaken for the purpsse of mewing the equilibrium of nations, the independence of the Italian states, end the security of the R.inart population, as far se it ctuld be effected, eitt.er from the yetis of anarchy or the dangers of a sudden reaction. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not wish to press for any papers which her Majtsty's government did not think it well to prodxce. But whet they wanted to know, and what the country had a right to knor. was the reason why thirty thousand Fr itch troops were in Italy and the Roma" States. Re understood the noble marquis to say that the expedition bed met with the assent of tins country, thereby implying that a sufficient explanation had been given to enable her Majesty's government to understand the object of the expedition. . . The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was at a loss to know when the noble earl had found anything which justified hint in assuming that her Majesty's government bad g.veu their " assent " to the French expedition to Rome. Ho prasonted the noble earl had introducA that worl in consequence at a statement made by the French republic that a general agree ment existed between this country and France on Amiga policy. A general agreement certainly had ex:ded, and he thought it was fortunate for both countries that it had been u ; but as to any specific assent or approbation of the expedition to Rome having been given, be begged to say that such had nut hen the case. The Earl of ABERDEEN said it was not from any speech of the President of the French Republic that he had con laded that her Maj sty's government had given their assent, bat from the Lehi* marquis's own I:sum:q.t. when he said that the government had not disapproved of the expedition. If a question of this imporance was to he viewed as a mat ter of iudiff.rence to the government, and that they were neither to approve nor disapprove of it, it was another thing ; but when the noble marquis said they did not disapprove of the ext edition, he thougut he was right in raying that they had assented to it. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, now that the noble earl had said that lie had stated that her Majesty's govern ment had gieen their assent, and not the President of the French republic, begged to say that it was just as true that the French president tad expressed anything which implied that the English gavernment had given their assent, as that he (the Marquis of Lotislowne) bad sail so. Neither the one nor the other was tree. What he stated was totally diffe rent from saying that they had given their assent; it was that her Majesty's government bad not thought it their deity to raise any obstacle to the proposed expedition to Civita Vecchia; and it was sie,:ular that the noble earl should hays forgotten it, because he commented on the very word. Lord BROUGHAM thought we ought to abstain from anythieg at this moment that would be likely to embarrass the Fr nob government, especially when they considered that the a alkeng horss of rebellion in Pieria was the Raman expedition. The French went ostentibly to assist the Roman., and cartiinly anything more unlike a govern ment than Mr. Martini's could not be imagined, and the object of the French now seemed to be to relieve the ktcrnan people from his misrule. As to Austria, Naples, and Sp tin, no explanation wee required. (Hear, hear.) Everybody tam what Austria m ant; the only doubt was as to the object of the French. They teed abandoned the Neapolitans, who, it was said, had fled, h wring the II ?Id covered with dead. Ho had inquired a. to the number, and f 'tend that two were killed, and one had been takes prisoner. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY regretted that the questions had bean put by the noble baron (Beaumont.) He thought it betnir to evehl any discusdan likely to el:a buses France. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that since the con versation had commenced ho had procured the papers, and was now instil. dto lay them on the table. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said is the first instance a commanicetion had been made by the French government that they ware about to send an expedition to eivi•a Vecchia; but that had no reference to the state of things which now existed. The French government rover had the idea of at tacking Rim, when they at at 6,000 men on the first expedi tion.

CONSULAR EXPENDITURE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Earl NELSON, in moilmgit; second reading of ttis tplained that its oiltct was to place the clergy attached to nsuisr estab ishments, under episcopal authority. - - - - The Marquis of LANSDOWNE opposed the bill, simply for this ream, that no parliamentary ground had been shown for it. Dia noble friend (Lord Pa'mere- in) was al. ways in the habit of consulting the highest episcopal autho rity before he conferred any appointment. The Bilep of LONDON admitted it to be true that the clergymen attached to consular istsbishraents were not under any legal episcopal juris fiction, wdiah wcs au anomaly which ought not to eziat ; th .ugh he cantended that, in rict, they were under that of the Bietittp of Lanaon. The sight rev. p-elate than Ili tailed the tireurastenc, s attendant upon the e.isplairtcy of Madeira, upo.i which subject he and Lard Pahnerate n had come iota expret.ing his earnest hops that some amicable arrangement might be coma to on sue u subjects for the future. ilut while he tai I tEdi, he was wiling to admit there might be grounds of expediency for the removal ut the chaplatu fr m Madeira. Tte Earl of MINTO entirely concurred in opinion with the noble mantels (the Marquis of Lansdowne) that no grounds had beau shown for the introduction of the prartnt bill. The noble earl who brought it forward seemed to have torgotten that the religion of the ehurch of Eqglaud with not the only established religion of Madeira, but that the church of Sco land was also es•a'diahed tocre. The effect, %bere t de, of this bill would be to place the members of the church of St Aland as will ei those of the church of E 'gland, under thejuri,dation of the Bishcp of London. Earl NELSON said that be had no such intention in view. The Bishop of LONDON observed that he had not the slifjbte.t wish to exertiss jurisdiction over the members of the Scotch Kirk. (A laugh.) Lord BDDISBURY reminded the house that if the congre gation at any ot these foreign stations, should retu,e to grant • chal laic his salary, the goverum could not give him anything, end he would be kit totally unprovided for, and tart if the members of the church of England shoul d then wish to have the services of their church performed, it would become necessary to appoint another minister. He hoptd that, under all the circuatstnuc2, the bid: would not receive their lordship.' matut. . • The Bishop of LONDON exilained.lii - icie - Ft7 — e jurisdiction, but he had nu desire to exercise it causeless.y. Lie had never attempted to interfere with her Majesty's prerogative of appointing chaplain., bat, alter having given a license to the cnapinia of Madeira, he felt that he could not conscientiously withdraw 'as the gentleman had not committed any ottence. He sh ould be always ready to as sist her Majesty's Secretary for Fur, ign Affairs in superin tending the attain ol foreign churcues so fir as was consis tent with his dui.y, nut u an act of parliament was passed releasing him from his jurisdiction In such matters, he would consider any interference with it as an intrusion. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE admitted that the right rev. prelate had ■ peculia Fort of jurisdiction over csagymen of the Caton of England, but he had no jurisdiction that he could exercise and enforce. The Bishop of SALISBURY conceived that the principal effect of the present latll would be to iudoce films woo possessed the power of dismissal to exercise due considera tion mad consul a i•on with tue prup.r authority, beton, they proceeded to send a chap san trona his post. lie hope., , however, that the bill would not b.) pressed to a division. Lord REDESDALE also expressed a hope, although ex trem ly anises that it should receive the a-nctioa of orna ment, that the memo:e would be withdrawn at the present moment, because at this period of the session it was impossi ble it could pass through the Douse of Commons. • Earl NELSON coaieatad to withdraw it.

THE WEST INDIES. Sr J.

The boo. gentleman said that the p tition wu an important one ; and if not allowed as a mat ter of feeling to make a few remarks on it, he should move the suspention of the rule which prevented his doirg so, Mr. ROEBUCK rote to order, and retn:ndod the hon. gentleman that he could not do that wi.hout notice. Sir J. PAKINOTON thought that, with our West Inlian colouies in a state of ruin, he might be permittul to thaw attention to this pet Lion. The SPEAKER informed him that it was not competent for him to do more than state the substance of the petition. Sir J. PAKINOTON then proceeded to say that the peti tioners complained at the depreci it:on of property iu Ja maica, whicu they traced to the act of 1823; of the insuffi ciency of the compensation granted to the West India planters, end of its distribution ; and they prayed the consi deration of the house to the a ate of the island. He also presented a petition from the committee representing the West India interest in thin countre, stating that landed pro rrty which formerly imperial pulisenenr, render‘ d incapa ble of profitable cultivation, and they prayed tha attention of the house to that fact. Mr. P. MILES presented a petition from the Assembly of Jam .lea to the urns effect. EXPLANATION.—MR. ROEBUCK AND MR, B. COCHRANE. Mr. ROEBUCK tinrew himself upon the indolence of the hose while he rffrred same explanation of the charge which had hem made en the pr. virus eveni g by en h. U. ma natter (Mr. B. Cochrane) against a relstiv o• his is Canada. The misfortune had bapptned to him of haying had his rotative brought under the notice of the ' house by that hon. member, a•rd it was, therorert, through a o fault of his own that he had how t trea:asss on the bows for a few moments. The cir cumstance al!uded to by that hon. gentleman was not known to him far years after it occurred. He wss total!) oppote I is politi-s to his vela ire; his mutat and d..,r st friends were tamongat the loyal sutaj eta of Cued; awl that would arc rant for his not having heard of the eireuertmce at an earlier period. The hon. gentleman said rut his tala. tire took 5001. f arrestina M. Grouted, and that he sp .he wall of him afterwards. The facts were else. His relative was high in command of the reiti is, end c atanaat IA the district in which he lived. M. Oirouard was a p man of the la4rhesr. character, and he believed a member .f the legislature. In the heltht of the excitement of the r , b Mien he wu charged mast unjustly nitia high treason; a writ wit issued azainst him; he wu in grat alarm In COTlMler.nee of the excitement; a band of p .crele, levant he (Mr Rae baek) called ruffians, so friohtrned the gentle irhahitan•a of Lower Canada, that that gentleman, whose in nd was chdiered to literature. ale a became alarmed, cad went for protection to the house of his (Mr. Avatar:dee) re lative late at night, Casting that he had coma to deliver himself up to hi n, knowing that he would protect Dim against harm and injury. He was taken into the house and treated as a member of the family, and at his own request was afterwards taken by his (Mr. Roebuck's) relative to Montreal. When there they discoverei that a reward of 6001. bad been offered by the government for his apprehension, and his relative who was at the time in the direst service of the crown, and who bad been trusted not only by every governor before but since, said openly at the time that he intended to take that money. He did take it, and applied it, as he said he would, to charitable purposes, and in doing so forfeited neither the respect of the constituted authorities of that country nor the people amongst whom he lived. M. Oirousrd's name basing been mentioned in the assembly as a person who had been ap pointed to some Mike under the crown, his relative,who was a member of the assembly, rose and erica hishly in his favour, upon which he was asked by Sir A. IdeNab if he had not received 6001. as a reward fur coprehending M. Oirouerd, and he replied that he had. That was the whole ease. He took M. Oirouard to Montreal at his own request. There was no accusation against him, and in speaking in terms of appr bstion of bins and in accepting the reward and disposing of it as he did, he (Mr. Roebuck ) coareived that he had diecharged his duty to 'he country and to humanity. He hoped that the Haute of Commons would accept this explanation, and however unhappily it might bar, been ealled for, be at least hod learned one tbirg from the imputation that had been cost upon his nlative on thr previous evealnyr, namely, that the watk, and more espe cially the intellectually week, were always cruel. Mr. 13. COCHRA.NE said that when ha stated that Mr. Bddwin and :Sr. Lafontaine had been accused of high trea- II" the hon. and Earn d gentleman, by an ironical cheer, and not very civilly, espri seed t is dissent from that ob - tion • and in confirmation of it ho stated, what he wis pee. parrot to repeat, that men publicly accused of high treason, and (or whose apprehension rewards a 3 high as 5001. were 4.•irtrod, hod been put into places of great conk 'ence in the government of Canada. He then mentioned the pr. c:se rams stated by the hon. and learned re u tit man , that his rela tive had test M. Girouard, and, alter steep leg a reward of 500/. for so doing, spoke in a com plimentary manner of him in the House of Assembly, where he was appointed to the office of commissioner of crown lands. lie wanted to know, therefore, under what pretence the hon. gentleman should come down to that house and address it as he hid lone. He should only mist, himself wiih the reflection that the hon. and learned gentleman could hurt no man's ftelings by his word. EXPLANATION. -MR. BROTHERTON AND MR. BANKES._ _ _ Mr. BROTHERTON said that, seeing the hon. memhcr for Dorsetehire in his place—(roate of laughter)—he wished for an expEnation of the language he had applied to him on the previous evening. Some men had rest ceurege towards those who were not in a 'smitten to resent their affront, end very little towards these who were in that vsi tion. (Cries of "Order.") He did hope the house would throw Its protection over him—(much langhter)—and n t permit imputations to be cast upon him which he utterly disavowed. Ho could conscientiously say that during the time he had been accustomed to move the adjournment of the house, it had always been his desire to act impartially towards both idles of the house. (Hear, hear.) And yet the boo. gentleman had described hint as the subservient tool of the government. He hoped the hon. gentleman was prepared to retract that expression. - - - - Mr. B. OSBORNE asked whether the present would not be a good opportunity of testing the who of the proposition submitted to the house the utfier evening, by referring the case to arh:tration ? (Roars of laughter.) Mr. BfeNKES quite atreed with the hon. member fur Middlesex that that would be the best way. He assurA the hon. member (Mr. Brotherton) that at the time he made the observation of which he complained he was net aware that he did not fight ; and sines he had heard it he had a greater respect for him than before. (Hear, hear.) But as the hon. gentleman did not persevere in the adjournment, his (Mr. B.tnkes' I observation fell to the ground. He said that it the hon. gentleman did persevere he stiluld 10. k npoc. him as the tool of the government.. The hon. genelemeu did not persevere, and therefore the observation did not apply to him. _ _ DELAYED RIiTURNS.II Mr. DISRAELI complained that the returns nom the Bard of icede which had been laid on the tedo nine nights ago were not yet in the hands of members, although it was of the utmost importance they should be before the budget was brought forward, and but for an accidental circumstance it would hire been brought fcr ward that night. They had had no official returns of the commerce of the country since the 10th April; he hal a-certained on inquiry that it was no fault of the printer, and as the President of the Board of Trade had informed Liz th-t he was not responsible fur them after they were hid on the table, ho begged to give notice teat unless he had them by Monday Le w..uld move that the printer and the official in the Board of Trade whose duty it was to prepare those returns be summoned to the bar to give information as to the cause of delay. THE ORDER OF THE BATH. In reply to a question from Sir De LACY EvAxa, which was inaudible, Mr. F. MAULE sold that, ascending to tha present regn lati n, when an officer who had attained the rank of colonel was honoured with the Order of the Bath, and sold out, he was permitted to retain his name is the army list, and to wear his unitorns at court; but when officers below that rank sold out, they were cansidered as having left the a r. vies alto.cether, and were not permitted to wear their tali form. lie was not aware of any intention to alter that regu lation. CERTIFICATES OF BANKRUPTCY. Mr. ROEBUCK inquired when the returiv wkich had been order,l on this suhject would be furnished. Sir G. GREY said that he had given a. rnorindurn of them to the Under Secretary, wi o was not prevent, and he could not say tautly, but he believed on Monday they might be exprctrd. They oaly came through, and Int from, the Home-office. ADJOURNMENT OF THE ROUSE. On the motion of Lard J. Rossem., it was agrced that the house, at its ri.ing,adjourn to Monday neat. THE IRISH CONVICTS. Mr. NAPIER asked if the noble lord st the head of the go vernment would have any objection to lay b.fore the homes e copy of the d tietnent, e , ,mmn tee the sentence of death, signed by the Ender SerrAary of 6:-.te in Ireland, which had been read to Smith O'Beic t and the other parties con victed of treason. Sir G. GREY said h 3 had no objection whatever to lay on the tob:e of the house the document which bed been read to the prisoners nod% r sentence of death, intim in to them that mercy would be extended to them upon condition of traasportelon for life. No formal document c Ann:noting the sentence of death existed; eonsequently, tl o e persons were maunder sentence of death u %commuted, thy having re hoed to accept the commutation. Dlr. F. FRENCH hoped that the dtcument, whether con ditional or unconditional, would be laid on the tob:o before the bill now In programs through the other h.ue: cane before I them. Sir G. GREY was understood to say it would be ready on Monday. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL steed, to answer to Mr. GILMAN, that he should make the committee on this bill the first ordtr of the day on blundsy. CANADA.-ADJOURNED DEBATE. - - -- 7 - The debate on this sutuect, adjourned from lbusaday, was then resumed. Mr. NICHOLL, after regretting that the matter had been brought before the house somewhat by su• prise, said the right bon, member fur Stamford Lad vlitown ante hesitation in moviag his amendment, and had only 40110 so when urged by numbers hes experienced than hiene:f. Had he (Mr. Nicholl) been called on to vote last night, be should have supported the government, not so ravch because he approved of the course tee; Lai perswd, but because he thought the house had been taken by surprise, and ago on the principle that public officers should ba supposed to act right till the contrary was ehown. Sill he was far from thinking that the iv.ble lord at the he d of the government. ha I succeeded in lathy-fog the steps which had teen taken by the colonial gov.romect ; he had al.° declined to give the assurance that parties actually engaged in the relic Lion bh ull be excluded from componsati.n. By the words of the act none were excluded but those who had ac'ual!y been convicted of trsuon by due caurci o. L - ird Elgin might easily have given inv.racelece to the alu m sei 'hers to make r limitatiora ; It Ins very doubtful whether ho had now the power to do to. The preamble of the act clearly showed th .t the only exceptions coutem pl ited were is those cues where convictioce fur treason 'tad t tken pace. In his view, there was no authority either in Lord Elgin or the Home government to Inmate any other limitation titan that Seed in the pre amble. lie therefore lel, d that the reyal assent would he refired to the ac.. conceived Lord Eh in must have sanctioned it under the matakes idea that he hid toe peeves el imps sing further limitte ions. This MI not appear to be thecae ; and tor the rake of the byal subjects ut Canada, he trusted that the act would nut be e Unl ea the Att reey O-int ral a old satisfy him %list there was a further g oalie of limitation, he shout d minim the aual , ndment. [A messenger from the Lords here brought down the Transportation for freasan Bill, and other bills.] - - The ATTORNEY OisNERAL said it was not because he wee not prepared to answ,r the qnestion tai: to him last hight that be had not then risen, but bscsse he th , h,ht it better (bet the hen. member lot 81.01,13 elooliiilr4 to pes-Is his views on the whole matter. It was rhea his late-, tins, and was .ti I, not to enter into the gen!. I merits of the qaestion,bot simply t iduchsrge the city of piecing tkfont the ti use hnt construchen of the act. When split aled to on a ma vs. of law. h • bit it his b ,unden defy to Kos Ter ,he qu , riots without reference to the beariog of that answer one side or the other, sod so as to avast the house to a ,i4bt d vision en the matter. Tot first quesnion put to him was, could the crown gaaliy th, act? Unquestionably rad; the crown cool! only adopt one of two cou,s-r,—,ither give Its assent, or negative ttte act by wobh Idiag it. Were , crown to eumeadi any condi i .n or mo Mallon to the am, that would be to user; , the legipl tore authority of the co . .any, the provhce of the three ,stat• a of the realm. The second qu eti n was, had Lard B gin, b; his acth,rity as governor, power to give ioslructians varying the sp4it of the act? To that the abetter was equally plain. As Lord d his authority fraos at. nct of the legislature, confirmed by the sanction of the crown, his iostructions must t Bow his prover, sod the power must be ' wriedy ex-cute!. HorMg a d51e,..4t...d snatch itF, with vol.- ' tain quildiestons, be could not eac eat that authority, and usurp to himself anything which the legislature alone could do. He could not thereto!' vary, by hie ms, the mehority cooferred on him, lard th roug h him t , the corn _ nalssiosers, of investigating the matter. It was unneee.sary, therefore, to refer to the different climes of the act, the real question befog what was the true intent and meaning of the act. If it authorised compensation to everybody larder all Mecum:masters, the commissioners must give it to all who claimed ; but if the =mining of the act, in which the pream ble was embodied, Wit that a latitude and a discretion should be given to the commissioner, and to Lord Elgio in his instructions, they must of course act according to their authority. The house must thcre'ure go back to the preamble to ascertain the meaning of the act. He was sur prised that tho right hon. and learned gentleman should have dealt in general assertions, without considering how he would have put his views on Paper had he had to frame an ea for this purpooa. Ile said it was an insult to the crown and to the loyal inhabitants of the colony that compensation should be given to path s who had been in re belle n. Would he have said in the act that compensation was only to be given to panes who were not rebels ? Would he have substituted prima facie evidi nee for strict legal proof ? Were men to be col d mned es rebels who had lot undergone a strict trial ? And was the burden of proof to be shitted, and a man required to prove himself mot a rebel in ord. rto entitle him to compensation ? It was utterly im racticeble to pen the statute otherwise than had been done. The preamble was most c mrectly draw a , and he wuLlel ex ph in its meaning. There were certain j artier who hod been we victed of treason ; their blood was corrupted, they were at tainted, and coesequently disqualifie 1 from recaiviug any compensation for lenses ; they were therefore excluded) alto g•-ther without any inquiry. It was said the weed conviction must mean convicti n in the c .mmon law courts ; but if the courts-martial to which allusion had been made in the former debate bad been duly constituted on the suspension of com mon law and the pr clannetion of male ial law, their convic tions of high treason would be good. Where the delinquent was charged with high treason, and conviction followed, the penalties would attach ; but where the parties had not been Indicted it might be difficult t o know what was the nature of the charge, therefore a diff- rent expression wits used in the act. It a man were charged with treasonable practices, and confessed too high treason, the uncertainty was ewe I ; and the moral effect was the same—he was exclude d from the compensation. Therefore the effect of the provision was th it all who were legally ineopacitatei by conviction, or morally so by their confession of a capital offence, should be at once excluded from the inquiry, snd no question should be eivertained about their lows. The set declared that the se who tuff, red from "sn unjnst, unnectstary, or wanton destruction of their dwellings, Re." should he compensated. It might happen under t here words that a mon who was a rebel, in fact, might receive compen. satin. But the same thine might happen likewise though they were expressly to declare that no man who was a rebel, in fact, should receive compensation, because in titter CRS, the comp wation must Aemnd on the amount of proof diet might he adduced. But he thought the mode adopted by the act was the most delicate way of ezeludieg tho e persons who were not entitled to compensation. (Bear, hear.) How would it be possible at the present time to ai certain who were in rebellion without creating courts for the purpose of convicting them, for no person could be properly a xctuded by the prima : fade proof of the right hon. gentleman. Uni'er the words " an unjust, unnecessary, or wanton de struction of prsperty," a much greater latitude was given to the commissioners, because they might now pause before they eenv:cted men of rebellion, however grave a suspicion of it might rest upon them. lie thoneht this was a better course than that they shautd by a eke wind, on a matter of pecuniary vim permation, convict men of the grave offence of rebellion. (lie ar, hear.) He had endeavoared to exolain, to the b sat of his ability, his view of the act, and he would not enter into the general eubject, no that would be handled by other end abler hands. (Cheers.) Mr. 11. DRUMMOND said that in plain English the present motion was nothing more nor less than an address to the crown to dismiss his noble friend (Lord Elgin) from the government of Canals, by which they would put an end to the ministry there, and posy ' ly weaken it they did not des troy her Majesty's present government in this country. The question was introeue-d in am rot extraordinary way, fOr one right hon. gentleman brought it forward in a speech without a motion, and another right hon. gentleman followe 1 it up by making a motion without a speech. (Laughter) Toe right h-on. gentleman justified the aterfe-euee of part emelt on the ground that this was not a local but an imp. riol question, but he had never once adduced any proof cf it, being en impe: ial question. (II ear, hear.) The logic of the right hue. gentleman Mal this—rebedion is not a Leal offenc ; ergo it is an offei.ee against the soy- reigaty of the whole empire; ergo, this is au imperMl offence, and so the right hon. ge ntletuan conduit:tit with has Q.E.D. (laughter.) Ho thought the tnl7 safe condect for him to pursue was to leave this question in the hands of Lord Elgin. (Hear, hear.) Mr. V. SMITH, after referring to the debate of last Light, and to the ettempt of the right honourable member for Stamford (Mr. Ile cries) to obtain a temporary triumph by means of an unexpected divisi .n, said ' that ebb question embraced a mush wider fi..11 of dieemsitte than had been assumed for it. eilher by thu right hon. an 4 learned gentleman opposite, or the hon. and learned ;rend -- man neer him (the Attorney-Oeueral), tor it involve d this most important censideratim, whether there was be re sponsible. government for the c Mr. HUME said that it was not often he had to praise the Colonial-uffiee. lie hai more frequently reason to cam plain of it; but on the present occasion, I e thought they had tak- n the proper course, and that they ought in future to pursue the same course towards all their colonies. The right hon. gentleman admitted the peen iple of respon sible ;covenant:AA and allow, d a departure from it only in very rare instances. He did not think that the right hon. gentleman had proved that the present cese should be mode an exception from the general priamole, for he had taut shown how this lieu become an impetial question. He was glad that the noble Lori on this oecesioa had so boldly and clearly maintained the position he laid down is his despateh to Lord SO. üban, and that he was determined to carry out his views. The noble lord at the head of the gm cement de served the public gratitude for the course he was taking on floe sul.j.fet, a course alike calculeted fur the welfare et the province, for the interest of the empire, and for the honour of the crown. Indeed, there cmed be nothing done for the interest of Canada which would not be to the henuur of the crown. If parliament were desirous of retain ing this most valuable possession, ell it had to de was to allow t' a Canadians to conduct their awn affairs, and to manage their own resources in the manner they should deem most advantageous. I Mr. NEWDEOATE stated his determination to support the motion of the right honourable member for Stamford. S'r W. MOLESWORTH said that he would oppose the I motion of the right honourable member for Stamford few many reasons, m st of which head been ele irly stated by the noble lord (Lo d J. Russell) in a manner which showed that he was thorou e hiy cane rant with coloatal affairs. Hs was of opinion that the eobanies could nut be wells merned, and that the colonial subjects could rover be con tented until a change was made in their colonial policy, and until a proper system of legislation was clearly and distinctly laid down. The ques tion, however, in this case was whether such a case of interference ha-I been made out as rendered the Rcbollion Losses Bill an unjustifiable proceeding. As for the speech of the right ben. member for Stamford (Mr. Merriest, it eras one which ought to have been delivered th • Assembly of Canada, and if it had, it would have satisfied him if he were a member of that assembly that ho should have voted for some of the amendments to which he referred; but it by no means satisfied him that the im perial legislature should disnllow the decision of the representatives of the people of Coombe. It appe wed to him that if the imperial p arliament aid interfere and dis allow this bill, it would in effect ba guilty of what migit be called a breach of faith to the colonial government; and he considered that ouch a br, aeh of faith would be a far greater evil toan any payment of a few rebels which mieht take place under this bill. He maintained that this bill for Call penesting losses sustained in Canada was nothing more than a necessary e inmqueece of the instructions which had been given by Lord Stsacley to Lord Metcalfe in the 3f ear 1844. In consequence, Lord Metcalfe prepared a bill for the purpose f compensati -g rebellion losses is the province of Upper Canada. Th et bill was passed by the Ass nobly, with a pledge that a similar measure should be passed for Lower Con .da. And he conceivel that this set was the fulfilment of that pledge siren by the Governor and the Assembly, and sanctioned by the imperial government If the imperial government were to rescind this haeawtre, it would be no hing but a breach of faith. He would coil attenti -n to despatch of Lord Metcalf, dated the 7th of March, 1844, with which he transmits 'o Lord Stanley a pttition from certain inhsbtants in Lower Canada praying for the haematite-ration of those who suffered in the rebellion, and in which he says that the prayer contained in th- petition deserved earnest consideration, as the petitioners had a just clam, and as there had been too much delay in doing them justice. Lord Stanley, in another dee-etch, says that the act passed in Upper Canada was intro tburd for the purpose of indemnifying tho'e who susteim d losses duel 'g the rebellion. Got these erotic& he had no hesitation in giving his vote against the motion of the right hon. member for Sta-..f.wd, and concluded b; ex per sing his opinion that it was a matter of paramount int pei tanca that the imperial pa-liement should cease to believe that it was in' illible in matters respecting the colonies, that at should begin to understand chat it was necessarily ign meet of colonial aim, and s toilet not attempt to rescind the &Tier' en of the representatives of the people cf the colonies. Mr. ANSTEY, in supporting the motion of the right hon. member for Stamford, said Out, though he felt that a loyal sub ject in Cann 'a had a right to support the crown in return for the protection which ho rec . deed from the crown, he thoug't it cruel to tiX his property, in outer to make compensation for any lasses that may be sustained by thine who rebelled against the law, and which may have arisen from the sup ' period nof an insurrection. He wan astonished that no wem'eer of the government who had spoken hat said one wod in reprobmien of the rebellion of 1837, and not one wend in favour of those who had made great roofless for their 1 syalty. Let them compare 1837 with 1812, and they would see what this lain -ntehle system of emcees lon to trai tors and insult to the loyal had resulted in. In 1812 there were 80,000 Canadians engaged in stemming the torrent of rebellion; but at this moment there were upwards of 40,000 Canadians enrolled in Hunters' lodges and other secret socioties ; and he was convinced that at this ma meet the majority in that a3untry were ready to whistle their allegiance to the winds, and throw if what they called " the British yoke." Humble i-dividual as he wan, he must protest against measures calculated to produce such a result, and for that reason he should support the amendment of his right hon. friend. Mr. MACGREGOR thought if the bill went hick unease tinned by this country to C tallia. it would excite feelings of diseust and hostility in the mint's of those who were now loyal and peaceable subjects. Mt approved most heartily of all that the Canadian government and Lied Elgin had done. He fully believed that the Cana liana would look after th) disposal of any funds reused by taxation upon them selves; and if we were now to interfere, it would b . , is his Opinion, an act of oppression and injustice. (limn) Mr. ADDERLEY said it was not the act itself they w e* . plained of, but it was the ambiguity and obscurity of its phraseology which laid it op.n to objection. He rise via great pain upon the present occasion, becaus e he could as vote for the motion before the houte, and his yeah* for not voting for It was that it came too lit e If they were to endeavour to induce the cr owa not to mac. Hon this act, they would stultify themselves, for the m em by its organ had tanc , ioned the passage of th e et lie feared it was too late for the crown to interfere without a chance of exasperating the col mien; he dtd not see hoe parliament wee to interfere. He . would et•li the nsble toed to show how he would give instructatusto the coraniilionet s which would ovcr•ride the act, ao .d, be could, he would vote for the act. Mr. M. MILERS believed that this question had uses late, as the hun. member lir Stamford had said ; but by could not see huw it could come eariier. It the house would regard the history of the bi 1 they would. 5..0 out it had goy through ev.ry legitimate rooms* in the colony. The tion now before the house was whether th.y could prumi , the relations between Canada a , .d this country in sad manor that the connexior. should u c'ul aid he ituraSle on the put of the colony. Could they reject a bill sotctioned by a large My withal seriously cnd.inft. ring the coma:las between the two countries ? Ile be'ftved that by paci ng this bill they would coy to the British inkabitant a of Caw., hat we wish to do is to make the muntety of the late Iv bellion a real amnesty ; mike the two prosiccts 'AC*. nada a reilly united people ; to do what weir represtuts. tives d d when they gate their coremt to 'he Dlefalat g s hoped the house would give a full assent to the priLciple of Loud Elgin. The Marquis of GRANBY said that the question wr not whether or not they ehutiiil endearcur to counteract the prmeiple of respon.ible sv.vernment, but whether, by +Log. ing the re.olution of hi. rght boa. friend, they would be acting contrary to that principle. The noble lord, the fins minister of the crown, bad said the other night, that in hi ' opinion there were eases in which it Incame the cuty efts government of this country to iuterlero wits the deusial of colonial legislatures. Wes this one of ibis cases in whir; it was their i:uty to ad vow her M.jr!ty :At to give ha oat. sent to the act 1 It bed been admitted by the noble kel, it had been admitted by the torrourable member Ire Sh.ffield, and by the Attoriley•General, that if this bill became the law of the Lull, rebels must be mu_ vensated for the loses they incurred in the late es. b.Liog. if that were the case, he put It to the home whether it woo not an levered question rather than s local one. Ile did Lot see the linne member fR the University of °vont in his place, but he Gould note down without noticing the taunt which he threw enlist night on the conduct ei hi. h his right hAiourake friend had thourret lit to pursue ' • he said th at opulluet was extract. divary, and that the house was not prep.red for theme/se which they hod taken. lie thought tea conduct of the right hon. gentleman was extraurilii.ary, and he naul doubted whether the alt-r the very brillice spe.elt that he had made, was not surprised at the milt. _ ..... Mr. LAIIOL:CHERE as nied the noLe aierluie that avea under a syatein of respoesible gourmets, q ua tione might arme on which it might he receaa eT for the mantel 1 nuthrroy to intersse ; and a t i ' s believed that the bill which had c me from th Cantdae wit intentionally framed, as was stated by gentlemen on the other side, with a view to inettlt the triudt crews, and affront deliberately that portion of the people ut Canada who particularly thatineuiseed themelves Li sapid. sang rebellion in Canada, he should he prepared to &snipe the rejectiae of this bill at all hazard,. But it ea, with the utmost difficulty ant reluctance that he could belies-, that that was a faithful description of the bill, el ea the bill was finally agreed en i , the House of As eolith of Canada by a mejor.ty of 148 to IS, • majerly not composed exclusively of Layer Canadians ter members refl. setting French descent, but an actual majo.ity of the r prec i e s e ees of either Canada. Tee hon. member for Nardi Wrakk shire had reproached his noble friend, the fire, maw, ter t'f the crown, fur hayloft said that he should won te ate the instructions which Leta Linn had i.s..ed to tio e amt s . sioners, before he advised the ero en to sanction this bal.

(saw, hear.) Ile (Mr. Labonehere) thought the gentile which tho house had to deeido lay in a emir compass. All patios admitted the nteees ty cf responsible governte.ent in Canada, nod ell admitted that an indemnity hi 1 fur losses incurred in tier. b. Ida:. cos a prop :r mean. The only question was, whether the pr. irnt was a tripe? bit. (11 ar, hear.) lie d.d not say that it was the mut proper tell that could have been (levant, bat the queitioa was whether teere was PO much impropriety on the ,ace edit as to prevent its becoming a law. Now he media hadn't wakes the house was @Atha .d of its grass iinpropric ty, thus would be greater danger in their attompiiug in the way pm noted to legidate for Canada. He o ned that after hung heard lion. and right hon. gentlemen of g eat do quence and great ingenuity, it canned in him that a s ran objection% might be urged ropiest the ILi white they proposed to b. enntructed as eg..inee th.:t wdli which they were already acquainted.

S , .metllng had fu I.n irons the nehl , marquis who had just add 'eased the home w 1 ie., required a pawn Midelo. The noble marquis had al!• gad that u. der the hat the claims of Nome loyal sit fec . e would he rich:dee Hs was not lawyer cc °ugh to say whether ores the athlete mar. pais wee techeindly correct in hie eintrurtion ; he very mach doubted it ; Matteis he would say, that eepiiethiy construed, the phraseology of the bill would, in has ednion, be au& tent to include the claim of every loyal sa' j at. Lai, even ii the bill did not go fir enough, if fil• they measures of in. demnity were necessen, the queue in was one for the rapt, and parliament of Canada, and not f the inap,rial legis lature. (Hear, hear.) H- confessed that if he could hue any doubt as to what the decision el th .t hogs, v. rind he, be should await that decisien with ereat ant :via. se acid et.t ety. lie n.ould be the hat man to advise ail ieselting proceeding towards our colony, end therefore he taunted that the hew. wmul I, bye large majority, nject Vie amendment of the right hon, gentleman, while he had such cotifideece in the good sense, genuine loyalty, and reel atteedua.nt to the another country, of the Canadiaa people, as to he thinned that even that portion of the ineab: ants whe Lai ran most sir: au , usly opaesed the hill would feel convinced that r government and parliament had been actuated by na other , desire than humidly to fulfil toe high Maniacs which the country had im;tosed on them, and r.oe on Liedequate ground. to int, rfcre with the cons lantana! ,vied fps el one of the , nab!, st pmesessioos of the lirit.s'a empire. (Cheers.) Mr. BASHES soil that, looking to the deletions of the ri,ent haamarablo member for Oxford Univenity, I end to the ausweis whisk had be, n given by the • government, he felt that the pr.e of was one et those rare occasions when the house would be justified in I addressing her Majesty fee some pause, is outer %het I nothing ahouid be done a i , hout • fall and clew I interpretation of the seeps and intention of the measure. Under these circumstances he could not but sunpa., while eid mining to the eufie,t extent that such m e,rpoeetion should I i,e rare, that aco a had been made out w. ich justified tont delay on the part of the crown in giving its assent to the act of the colonial legislature. With regard . to f the question whether he-, aa member of the op • peril) parliament, was jawatied in inlirferii4 in Li:is Mak • ter, and in interposing with the culunial gov e rement, he 3 could not but remember that there had been nxi.simes I in which the governnemt had not shonn that (itemisation r to upheld haw atid eider even in this ceuutry. H.. hag read in tee correspondence,whieh was published en the autumn et • last year, referring to events which o. curred wh n Lwd Melbourne was in utfice, that the secretary of that noble iced was charged therein with writing a letter to a penes— ' (01, ch.) Yes, he contended that that was a question aaa- I lagous to this, which was the remuneration of traitor; (hear, I hear), and he mph. d, when he ask, 1 how it c b . looked ution a 3 an imperial question, that thcro was • time whea ' this country was iu the condition of Canada, and even sub 1 jest to a control and an interference which motet have Ive been dangerous to the state, and to the safety of tireat Bri tain. In his opinion it would be dangerous to ass vet to a bill having the immediate effect of encouraging übdt:n and conepiratort either at home or abroad. (" Hear, hear," and I cheers.) He gave the noble lord credit for having at I heart the interests of the empire and the sovereign as Lana I as he had; but befere he could give his assent to • measure I such as that under disenseion, he coast require from the I noble lard a distinct asenrance that traitors eheu'd ecet be compensated under it. (Hear, hear.) Sir IL PEEL felt that all the arguments on the tidied had been exhausted, yet was unwilling to give t h - vote he intended to do vrithent a brief explatattoo of the grounds 011 which it was founded. He did not pat the construction as the amendment of his right boo. friend (Mr. Herr:op) wtick had been ,at upon it by the lion gentleman who had last spoken. He did not consider it m.r.ly as an addmis to the crown to come to no hasty decisioo at h reap ct to the refill' cation of this att. (Hear, heir) Ho nwhistoed it to b• substantially an address to sway the crown not to assent to the bill until certain amendments moved by the miaot ity is the colonial legislature abotie be ma's is it. (Hear, hear ) That motion of his right hod. friend'', whether lutes , tionally or indirectly, was, as had been observe], by j the hon. member for Northamptiun (Sir. V.

(Hear, hear.) If they seamed to such a motion , it would be impossible to avoid (ua, in; in a conflict of no small extent—(nmar) —a confimt in which they ought with , out doubt to eagage if the ho-au, of the crowd imperatively required it—bat whil, b. lore amy engaged in it, was cer i Wady advisable to consider the nature of and the circum stances under which they were called upon to enter into it. (Hear, hear.) They had before them a measure which Pro' Tiled for a certain aptropriation of the fences ef a t rivet colony of the British Empire. (Hear.) At a former period it was proposed that the compensation approved by the ball should be made from the imperial treasury—hut the propeellf was rejected.
