"If ydu govern us tightly, we will defray the ex pense ourselves; if not, you may pay for us." This, was all he could collect from the correspondence. WILMOT-HORTON. begged to remind the HOn.Gentliesiseds. that great responsibility was incurred by the dismissal Of Officers whom it was found expedient ta eontinue for the benefit of the Colony.. These Colonies w eir regulated by certain principles which had been ap 11°1ed by the House. The Honourable Member seemed _ t fispugm l . to treat it as a question of a new policy to be adopted towards the Colonies, and not, as it really was, the proprietynf voting an estimate which the Legislature hitherto bad sanctioned. Colonel DAVIES expressed a wish that his Honour shle' Lriend (Mr, Hume) would soon bring forward. % Motion relative to the mode of management of the ivil Eaablishment of the Colonies. It was one well ...orthy his attention. Mr. HUME asked why did weatot pay Chief Justices br St. Lucia and - Jamaica, as well as Dominica ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ' :hat Dominica was perhaps the most distressed of any of our West India Islands; its annual production had frequently been destroyed by hurricanes—from the ca lamities inflicted by nature which it had sustained— from its difficulty in raising suppliei—from the large quantity of barren and uncultivated land in that Island. Although other Islands might defray their own este. flishments, an exception should be made in favour of Dominica, and every assistance afforded it by tho-cao ther country. Mr. HUME, .in the present depressed state of West India property, would not press the vote to a division. ile e as, nevertheless, of opinion that these Islands ought a t o maintain their own establishments. And he was morel n oxious that the House should impress this principle on their minds, for unless this country threw something on them, they Auld get nothing from them—(A laugh). The Resolution was then agreed to. Mr. WILNIOT-HORTON next proposed £8279 for the Civil Contingencies of Upper Canada. This was Dote less than was voted last year for a like purpose. Mi.IIUME said the same ground could not be shewn for this vote as for the last. They paid nearly all the military. as well as civil establishments of this Colony, while tie new States of America paid their own estab lishments, both civil.and military. Before agreeing to slab a vote, the House should be made acquainted with the amount of the Civil List of Upper Canada, and the meal's afforded them of judging what services might be dis, eesed with. lithe Colonists wanted such an estab lishment, let them support it themselves, ar ctherwise let it be discharged. He begged to call the attention of the House to some of the individuals who formed part of the Civil Establishment. There were twe Sheriffs. Why should this country be. called upon to pay the Sheriffs? They were not paid in England. Besides, as he was informed, they had an ample income irron fees. There was, besides, a Secretary and Regis trar. He should like to know what his duties were? Also a Clerk of the Council, and a Surveyor-Geneial of Land: Why could he not be paid out of the.lands that were sold? The United States • of America received many millions by the sale 'of lands. In Upper Canada lands were pained to individuals many miles in extent, which were left without cultivation, while the unfor. melte people who emigrated • there from this country were sent hundreds of miles further off to seek for a seuletnent. li the lands near the Presidencies were. sold they would be a source of considerable income. What he heatd from Mr. Gourley, who had opportuni ties of being acquainted with the subject, he believed to be ceriect—that the Colony was fully able to pay its own estaidishment. If they sold no lands what occa sion had they for a Surveyor-General ? One of the items was 100/. for a Naval Officer. He should be glad to know where he served ? Now that Custom Houses were established such an officer was useless. There were allow ances to Surveyors which they had no right to pay. All the items were objectionable. He should, therefore, propose to reject the vote entirely. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, the Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down rested his opposition to this vote upon the ground that the people of .England were called upon to defray the expenses or useless offices. Now this was a perfectly incorrect statement of the ,a,e. Up to the year 1816, all the expenses of that Coloily were borne by this country; and was it lair, he would ask, to compare. with the United States a Col why which had not an existence in the year 1790, and which was capable of conferring great benefits upon this country? The whole argument of the Honourable Gentleman might be resolved into this simple question —" Is there any office in. the Colony of Upper Canada that oglit to be abolished?' Now two-thirds of the ex pense- .ere raised by the Colony itself; the aggregate expel: 'iture amounted to 30,0061. of which sum `20,0001. were furnished by the Colony ; and he thought it would be unjust in their present condition to call upon Len, to supply mote. - Last year, when a proposition had been submitted to the House to unite the two Canadas, which measure, if carried into execution, would have completely ckne away with the separate ex penditure, the Honourable Gentleman opposite (Mr. Hume) was one ot the first to Oppose it. If the Hon. Gentleman me a n t to l a y d own t h e p r i nc i p l e t h at t h e CaNnnies were no advantage, that would let into the conideration of the House a very extensive and import ant question, namely, the pyopriety of abandoning our Colonies: but that, was a subject quite foreign to the ( o6- ject now befortalle.House, which was the consideration tithe ellnuial. Estimates. He was as willing as any man to admit that efforts should be made, and' he felt persuaded, would be made progressively to diiAinish the expenses ot the Mother Country. The Honourable Gentleman had talked of the profits arising from the sale of lard, but he was Ignorant that these lands pro deceit no pecuniary value, fdr.they were granted to , those "ho would undertake their, cultivation. The Citation which the House had to look at, was the total Itienee of the Civil gstablishment, of Upper Canada, v iewed in relation to bet resources and the necessity of maintaining a local Government. Is the general ex- Pease tithe Colo.> , more than should be borne? Is it more than the Mother Country should contribute to her C luny as yet in. an, infant state—(Hear, hear). The umottrahle Member, had asked what advantage we derived from. this Colony? This he conceived not to be th eloestioa the House had to discuss, but if the Hon. ! !!mbe r were to gi ve notice of a mot i on, h av i ng f or i ts .bject the abandonment of these Colonies, lie would see the kind af f • t ee i Mg_ it would . produce throughout the c o untry. It was difficult to estimate the value which Ile country derhied from her Colonies. The Honour shie Member for Aberdeen seemed to thinkahere could be no advantages produced, unless they could be ex hLined to hint arithmetically trtua bAlance sheet.. But le slmang au . Colonial •systtm, lie always Oft that .• as s ki peaking of the wealth, the p(mer, and the cOrn etcial resources of the empire—(lte3r, hear.) And he I was persuaded that, enlightened as the country now was! by sound and rational principles of political science, the nation would be able to app eciate our colonial ad vantage;,. even though their precise pecuniary profits could not he demon-trated *on -a balance sheet—(Hear, hear, hear)—and • these were - the -real principles by which the extensive interests of a - cOuntry like this ought to be estimated—Wear, he a r.) And perhaps the lion. Member for Aberdeen would do well to consider the subject in that point of view, instead of dealing in gene thirties, or alluding to the information of Mr. Gourlay. However, agreeing with the Honourable Gentlenian completely in the principle that the first object of the Government should be to diminish the expenses of our Colonies, but denying the wisdom of withdrawing our support from them whilst in a state of infancy, it would be sufficient for his purpose to say, that it was the deter mination of the Government to support every plan by which the improvement of our Colonies could be pro moted; a spirit of induitry excited cominercial exertions, encouraged by those sound and liberal*measures of free trade, which were now no longer a mystery but were perfectly understood—by the enactment and equal ad ministration of good laws, and by the extension of as much freedom as they could enjoy. By measures of this description their prosperity must follow, but you cannot now aLt upon a system which would only be ap plicable to the Colonies at a more advanced period. It was possible that under the Union the present expendi ture could be diminished, but he was now speaking of the 'state of things in the year I WA, and if the House should refuse the present vote, they would inflict incal-. culable evil. Every effort should be made to promote the prosperity of these Colonies, and that could only be done by affording them present assistance, and he had no doubt the expenses would be progressively di minished. He therefore trusted the House would not agree with the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, bat.support the motion which had been submitted for their adoption. Mr. BENNET opposed the vote. The people of Eng land should not be called upon to pay these expenses. If the House did not take a step now, and refuse them, he had no doubt but their children's children would be called upon to pass the same vote as that now' proposed. Mr. wlLmoT„HowroN said,, he considered it a positive certainty, that after- the lapse of a feet years there would be no necessity to call upon the House for this grant. The revenue of the Colony would then be sufficient to defray the expenses. Mr. BRlGHT . supported the Resolution; There was no analogy bets.'een Uppef Canada and the United States; the fOrniei ' wAs a Colony 'but recently planted: In a political poinrof view 'it was of - the greatest import ance, to serve counter-balanie to the :Stites of America. It was politic, therefore, to advance thOsel sums, without which the Colony could not at present support the necessary-establishment. • Mr. HUME said, if he had the power he -stiimid admit the two Canadas to the situation of free States, and thus put it out of their power to draw this country into a war that might cost her many millions. It was by no means a new Colony ; it had been Upper Canada for the last forty years. He Would ask what pretence there could be for this demand of 30,0001. from this country for the civil establishment of this Colony, when we paid for the whole military establishment also? The Hon. Gentleman complained that he (Mr. Hume) had behaved unkindly and unjustly to the Colonies, in op posing the Bill for uniting the Legislatures and Govern ments of the two provinces, And now objecting to this vote to make up the deficiency in their means of sup porting their own establishments, which that Bill was intended to remove. tie did oppose that Bill, and he took credit to himself for having done so : for it was I nothing more nor less charisma attempt on the part of his Majesty's Ministers to cheat those provinces out of their rights and liberties, by inducing the Parliament of Great Britain to pass an Act for uniting the Legis latures of the two provinces, without the knowledge or consent of the inhabitants. Ile would also ask whether the Government had done its duty in taking care that Lower Canada paid to Upper Canada what was due from it ? for if they had, there could be no ground for calling upon this country to assist in supporting the ex, pense of the Civil Establishment of the.e Colonies. So far from being a benefit, they were a load upon this country.; for we paid a heavy duty oh the timber im ported from them, which forced the people of this country to pay a higher price for bad timber than would enable them to procure timber of good quality from other countries. We were therefore taxed for the benefit of the arade of these Colonies; we were also taxed to support their military establishment; and now came an additional demand' for their civil establishment. The Hon. Gentle Man said he was in hopes that arrange ments might be made that•would hereafter render it unnecessary to continue this vote. If he might under stand that there was a hope that they might not be called upon to repeat it next year, he was ready to withdraw his opposition to the vote—(No, no !from the Treesury Bench). If not, he should feel it his duty to divide the Committee. _ Dr. LUSHINGTON trusted his Hon. Friend would not press his objection to the vote, for he - should not be able to divide with him on this question. He believed chat, although it might not, generally speaking, be politic or expedient for the Mother Country to be at the expense of maintaining the Civil Establishments of the Colonies, yet there might be circumstances under which it would be but fair, and certainly not disadvantageous, for the Mother Country to support in part the expense of a Colonial. Establishment, receiving in return from the Colony advantages of some other kind. He had been under the necessity of making himself acquainted with the state of the Governments of the Canadas, and he knew that at a period not very. far gone by nothing could be more deplorable than the administration of justice in those provinces, owing to the vast/extent of the Colony, to the paucity of inhabitants in proportion to that extent, to the peculiar character of the people, and to the feuds which were constantly occurring be- tween rival settlements. Some changes had taken place by which the Judicature had been greatly Ameliorated, and he thought this country could not possibly object to contribute towards the expense of th 4 improvement which it was its duty to make. He did hope, however, that the time would come when these Colonies would be able to maintain their own Judicature and other civil servants without calling on the Mother Country for assistance. Mr. BENNET would advise his Hon. Friend not to divide the Committee, as something in the nature of a pledge had beeu given, that the charge would suon cease. Mr. II U iNIE would not press a division, as the sense of the Com mittee appeared to be against him.—The Resolution was agreed to. .A . 91 9 7 was moved for the Civil Establishment in Nova Scotia. Air. G. BENNET objected to the expense of the Church Esta- Sishment of Nova Scotia, when so great a portion of the inhabi tants were Calvinists. The Calvinist Ministers did that.. duties on' much cheapen terms than those of the ."o,taLlisLett Church. • Mr. WJLMOT-HOltttlN observesl, it was prOtable that part of this charge would be progressively taken off •by Nova Sobt but that if the vote were now resisted, it would be of great injury to the Colony. Mr. HUME hoped the Honourable Member would state what was the amount of the Colony's tiade. He thought it a shame that his Majesty's Ministers did not allow the Nova Bcotians themselves to pay the sum. Mr. WILMOT. HORTON stated, in the year 1821, the impoi is were 31,090/. in 1822, about the same sum ; and, in 1823, they were 19,7001 That the exports we'e, in 1821, 155,6591. i n 1822, 173,81.61. and in 1823, 153,201/. He would assure the Hon. Member that he had every anxiety to reduce the amount now applied for. Mr. HUME was glad to . tind there was such a dispo= sition; but the House should recollect that the coloniei in the West Indies were under very unfair restoictions for the purpose of serving these colonies.—Agreed to. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON then proposed 5,1914. for defraying the expiense of the Civil Establishment at New Brunswick. Mr. HUME observed, that a memorial had been sent from this Colony to his Majesty's Government to this effect:—" You vote us annually a considerable sum; but let us have the management of our . Custom-house, and we will save you that sum:" The expense incarred by that Custom-house was 6,0001. per annum, and the application was to save this. He (Mr. Hume) thought that this should he particularly inquired into. Mr. WILMOT-1101tTON observed, that he h sped to see this expense considerably diminished next year. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. WILMOT4JORION next proposed the sum of 3,3181. for defraying the expense of the Civil Esta blishment of Pi ince Edward's Island, and 15,29 IL for defraying the expense of the Civil Establishment of New South Wales, which were agreed to. Mr. NVILMOT-HORION then proposed (22,5011. for expenses of the Civil Establishment of Siena Leone. Mr. HUME wished to know vellat advantage was de rived from this establishment, amid whether ally papers had been laid before the House, to spew that its utility was equal to its expense? Ile understood that the loss of lives in this colony was very great, and thought that Ministers should take this into their consideration. Mr. %Inman HORTON observed, thAt the Ho nourable Gentlenran must be aware that it was impossi ble now to enter into the subject, or to discuss it at the present time. It must be considered with reference to the system which had been adopted, and not to the ques tion before the Committee. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON 'next proposed 43.9261. for defraying the expenses of the Civil k:stablishment on -the Gold Coast,.aad 9,8271. for defraying the expenses of the Civil Establishment of the Bermudas.— Agreed to. 'On the vote fat 150,0001. for bills•drawn and to be drawn for civil contingencies in New South Wales, Mr. HUME said, he did not understind the mixed n_ature.ofthese accounts. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, that the complicated nature of 'these accounts arose from their-referring partly to sums which had been expended, and partly to sums which it was expected would be expended. He hoped that in the Nell year he should be able to furnish the Committee 'with an improved statement of these ac counts.—The sum was then voted. . The next sum proposed to be granted was 2,442/.los. for defraying the expense of certain colonial services formerly.paid out of the Army Eztraordinaries. Mr. HUME observed,. that he had expected never to have heard of this grant again. With regard to the duties• performed by the superintendent ot Honduras and his secretary, he knew nothing, and therefore should not make any observation ; but with regard to the salaries paid to the private secretaries of the Gover nors.of Barbadoes, Dominica, Grenada, and the other West Indian Islands, amounting altogether to 1,8001. , odd, he had no hesitation in saying that the country ought to be relieved from them altogether, as they were in possession of a considtrable income arising from their fees of office. It he did net receive some satisfactory assurance . upon this subject, he should move, as an amendment, that the amount of these salaries be de ducted from this grant. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON observed,in reply, that the Hon. Member for Aberdeen seemed to be confounding the private secretaries of the Governors with the public Secretaries of the island. The latter functionaries did, it' was true, receive fees; but the former received none, their emoluments being confined to lOs. per diem that WAS paid to them. He contended that a private secre tary was indispensable to a West Indian Governor. Mr. - HUME thought that the explanation of the Riht Hon. Secretary was anything but satisfactory. • Mr. GOULBURN confirmed the statement of his Right Honourable Friend, the Secretary for the Colo nies. It was absolutely necessary for every Governor of a W.•st Indian Island to have a private secretary; now their emoluments were only barely sufficient to support the rank and station which they were called Upon to fill; and as that was the case, the Public could not do less than pay the salary of their private secretaries. Mr. H. G. BENNET trusted that his Honourable Friend (the Member fur Aberdeen) would move the amendment which he had mentioned, and also that he would take the sense of the House upon it. Mr. HUM E then moved that the sit in of 1,8221. being the amount ot the salaries paid to these private secre taries, be deducted from the grant. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment, 21 Against it, 95 Majority for the original grant, 72. - - The next Resolution was to grant 15,532/. to the Society for Propagating the Gospel in the Colonies. Mr. HUME said, that on a former occasion he had pointed out instances of gross mismanagement on the part of this Society ; and he mentioned the fact of the Society having„several years ago, boasted of having ex pended a large sum fot establishing schools ; but it since appeared that not a single school existed, nor was there a single scholar instructed. Such was the opinion en tertained of this Society by the people of Newfound land, that they refused the use of . their churches to the - Ministers of this Society. Therefore he would ask if such a set of men were fit persons to be entrusted with the management or•disbursement of so large a sum as 15,0001. ? If religion was to be promoted in Newfound land, Canada, and other Colonies, let the thing be done by the Government of each Colony, and let not unwor thy persons have such a trust imposed in them.. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said the Secretary was in communication- with the Ecclesiastical Authorities and the Governments of the Colonies ; and they were the fittest. persons to have the aan.inistration of the funds.. l At all events; the sum was necessary for promoting the, system of religious education in the Colonies, wh•.k'ver parties they might be who were to administer the same.' Mr. HUME replied that the Colonies ought to pro. vide for their own religious establishment. -He wished to kr.o* why the people of England and Scotland should • pay WO a-year td the Ilev. Dr. to lisp For preaching in Halifax, a large comoseieial town, theiliabitays Of which could well afford to pay lot their preachers ? Mr. BUTT E R woirr H Viappor the)notion• The • • grant had heretofoie done much 'good, and it would -have a mischievous effect if it were now withheld. With respect to the Society for the PropagatiOn of the Gospel, its labours had been beneficial. ItViii&-wee ilia it had been exposed to some atrocious impo,tut es, which ought to be inquired into ; but of its general utility, no fair dOubt could be entertained. "l'he llotiourable.Membet; concluded by observing, that the want, in his opinion, - ought, if altered.at all, to be increased— Mr. G. BONNET had mi .- At:9lK 01 the necessity of. religious instruction among Use inhabitants of the Colo.: hies, but the question was—who was to pay for it? nil, would not oppose the grant that year, but he certainly, would oppose its being paid to the Society. Mr. GOULBURN begged to set the Honourable. Member right as to the Colonies doing nothing towards ate expenses of obtaining religious instruction. There were tracks of barren land set apart in Canada applied. to the maintenance of the Church—(f laugh )—which, as the country improved and thelands were cultivated, would produce an income for the Church. The money. had been given to the Society becathe they were found . to be more efficient in prnpagatitg the Gospel than any, other persons employe,. for that purpose. Mr. MO NCR thought the grant a monstrous one, and he should strenuously oppose It. Sir M. W. RIDLEY wished to ask whether the money votes: 2 was for the Church of England followers, or was to be applikd Lir) tint 4 persons who professed doctrines that had led to such raischle*, ousotonsequeuces in the Colonies? Mr. WI ',NICK-HORTON replied, that the grant was for the support of the doctrines of the Church of England. Il LIME thought the answer of the Honourable Gentleman made the grant still more munstroui. Why were the Dissenters of England and Scotland to be taxed for supporting Church of Eng land doctrines in the Colonies? Sir T. ACK.LAN D wished that distinct charges should be brought against the Society, rather than attack them by a side-' wind, by which they were tlec!ared unworthy of receiving the; " money that they had in former years applied, he believed, benefi4 cially ; at least it would be mots unjust to deprive them of the grate without giving those persona due notice who were sent out to the Colonies as Missionaries from the Society ; as they would in that. case be suddenly deprived of their livelihood. • Sir SCROOPE AIOItLAN D spoke in favour of the grant. Lord ALTHOIIP said he shohld prefer having the money paid to Governors of Colonies, and making them responsible for its ap plication ; but if he were to say aye or no upon the question of afford ing the grant at all, he should certainly prefer that it should be given to the Missionaries rather than it should not he given at all. Mr. T. WILSON heartily concurred in the grant, .Mr.,11. C. BENNET then moved that the words, " defray the charges of this society" be left out of the Resolution. The llouse divided upon the honourable Member's Amendment; when there appeared in favour of the original Resolution, 98— against it, 19—majority against the Amendment, 79. • That .5,000/. be granted for the Refuge for the Destitute. That 693,0001. be granted to his Majesty, to defray the extraor dinary expenses of the Army. • Mr. BEN NET suggested that this grant was calculated to excite much discussion,and therefore requested that it might be withdrawn. Mr. LUSH I NGTON withdrew it accordingly. • ' The CHAIRSIAN r e ported progress, and asked leave to sic again. The Report was ordered to be read on Monday next, The House went into a Committee on the County Courts The House resumed, and the Report ordered for Tuesday next. Mr. CROKER moved the third reading of the Marine Mutiny Bill. _ . Mr. HUME stated that he had some objections to make to this . Bill ; but if the public service required the passing of the Bill, lie would not press them. Mr. CROKEit said that the Marine Mutiny Bill expired on the 25th of March, and it therefore was desirable that the Bill should pass.—The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Four per Cents. Bill was read a third time and passed. The Committee on the Usury Bill was postponed to Friday. The House went into a Committee on the Cruelty to Animals Bill, which was ordered to be recommitted on Monday week. The Douse adjourned at a quarter past Twelve. .-• The Sydney (New South Wales) Gazette, of July 41.. says:—'" It is reported as a fact, that some of the oil which was.ez- . tracted from the Van Dieman's Land bark (name of the tree un known), and which was sent home by one of our most praiseworthy and enterprising Colonists, was disposed of iu London at a very high price.—The average prices of articles in the Sydney market were, wheat, 4s. 7d. per tarrei ; maize, 2s. 6d. and barley, Ss.
