Vieettnt UODERICH had to present a Petition to their 'Alps which, although not emonterod with the continental or de limit* Interests of the kingdom, was nevertheless well entitled to ski consideration faiths* House-and of his Majesty's Mistletoe It proceeded Iron a large eumber of the inhabitants of Upper and Lower Canada, complaining of grievances. Sonar of these, o bleb theresseen,rated asisievances, did not, in his private opillitin. deli= serve that name. Uist there were other instances in which he really chastest their complaints well founded. The lint topic of complaint was the dismissal of Mr. Justice Willis, because be had. refused to sit in the absence of the (Met Justice and the other P l ai n e Judges. He did not contend that the conduct of. that Judge had been the most judicious, but at the same time he though: that whatever obscurity eziated in the law should lie cleared up. The petitioners prayed. that the Judges should be made immoveable. — In this prayer he concurred. • The petitioners alto, complained of the composition of the Legislative Council, whose functions were analogous tethose of the Hone of Lords in thit.country. This body was compoted almost entirely of persons in the employ ut Government. He thought it desirable, and he Mt confident the Noble Duke would agree with him, to give as soon as possible to this body a greater degree of independence. The Beecutive Council alsowas complained of. This was in a great measure cont. posed of the same persons who formed the Legtslative Council, and the Colonists complained that they had to advise the Governor as to giving his assent to the Billy fee which they ba d already voted in another capacity. The petitioners prayed also for the right et impeachment against public functionaries. They also wished toe an alteration of the Jury system, which he thought they might' manage among themselves, without the interference of the Impe rial L.gislature. Whatever might be thought pt these complaints and prayers, there could be none as to the importance of the Co lones from whence they proceeded. Their geographkal position gave rise to a natural feeling of anxiety for the happiness, strength, and loyalty of these colonies. The people he believed to be gond and loyal at heart, although they might be subj , et to occasional ebullitioni of turbukoce and discontent. The petition olvrted to areeh delivered in the other Haase of Parliament by a night Iron. Friend of his, then tkieretary for the Culoolei, which roved. as they said. that they were inientpresented in tins eimntry. He need scarcely say that. in Ms Opinion, the arsch , ut. his Bight Hon.

The Duke of WELLINr6TON entirely concurred in the views or the Noble Lord se to the importance and necessity of cultivat ing the sued will of the lehabliants Of these valuable Carkiniesby every means in the power of the Government or Parliainebt to adopt. hut having had this petition in his bands fur a conederable time, or rather a copy of it, which had been presented to his Ma• jesty, he must confess that hr saw little in it that could justiftthe interterence of Government or of Parilameni. There was miseb relatangen matters with respect to which the (oboists had the Moses ot &laving themselves, sal they were many parts et thy' petition also that solicited alterations which in his °Oliva ought not to be made. The Noble Lord had stared only p trt ut the case of Judge Willis. The fact was, that in the absence of the Chid Jus tice this Judge had (bought proper not only to protest against the actual constitution of the Court, not only to absent biotech Iron% his duty. but to declare that all the proceedings of the Court which bad taken place during the absence of the Chief Justice were illegal In consequence of this conduct he was first stiperseded and limn disinbseed by the Lieut. Governor. Judge Willis then presented a petition to the Privy Council. atid after lull deliberation all optoutu was pronounced. and his Majesty was edvi.ed to approve and con , firm the decision of the Lieuvenant•Gravernor. So that unless the Noble Lord was prepared to bud fault with the decision ot the Commute.: ot the Privy Council. he must see that the Petilloodets had nu just 'resod of complaint with reference to this sir.ject. They. neat desired that the Alembers ot Goveinment should be made responsible to the Legislative Commit. Hut they forgot that they were a distant Colony, and situated un the 'roomed a foreign country. in these OfinilMit3HCCS it Was evident that the same pes.: Niles of Government which were found so beneficial in this coon. try, were not egpbcable. If they bad just ground. of complaint against any public officer, they could apply to the Privy Council ; and then; as lbw Noble Lord knew, the conduct ot that Oflicer would become the subject of judicial inquiry. Although it might, per haps, at ionneftitere period, be expedient to make the Members ot 6 9YernInent to* this and other Colonies responsible to the local Legislatures, they never could he placed in a similar situation to that which the hlinisters ot the Crown in England held, in refs- TenCe to the Legislature of this country. A. to the complaint that the Legislative Council was principally composed •ut theOlbeen ut Government, It must be recollected that It would be excessively iaconvenierat topersont to come from, a great dicance to Attend Its their legislative duties. On this accouot it had been tumid tiece.. ...try to toren the Legislative Council ot the meioses and servant. ut Odeertinsent ulna wets, always resident upon the spot.

As toothe Exceutivi Council, it was true that many of ifs Members vine also Alernbers of the L. gislative Council. The Judge.; as well as other pasties connected with Government, were in tine situation 1 but be did not know that it was incouvensent, ur rn any respect utsiectionable. There was nothing, in short, in the Petition that amounted to such a grduud of complaint as called tor the imeiterence of Parliament. Zeit BATHURST would trouble their lwraships with a very few words in respect merely to the case ot Judge Willis. This I lLearned Judge not only declared th.t no business could be done briarse the Court was not full, but pronounced that all that hal been domain such circumstances null and void : and in these °plumes be insiatedtatter the representations a the Lieuteuant Governor.— le their bee,snse accessary to appoint a provisional Judge, but the Lieuteoant Governor bad no power to Jo this without removing Judge. Willis, for the Act or Parliament authorised the Celousal Government as ambit • new Judge only in the cases of death ur ?renewal. The Judge was therefore renioved. and a providoisd' Jody appointed. The Liestenant Governor knew that Judo; Willa had the right el appeal to the Perry Council. This appeal wasthadr. and when it was taken into consideration the Cuiet Ban . * of the Eacbequer and the Vice Chancellor were present...A; They heard' Counsel at graft length, and then' repented td the Crown that awe was no ground whatever fur the opinion Judge Willis had eapremed. Toe cuosequence was that his dismissal was, confirmed.

He trusted the Noble Duke who bad already done in much for frikod, would devote, during the summer, his enaction to this subject. There were already Acts in existeeee the relief of the suffering poor in Ireland, to a certain extent, hit what he wished for was something more effectual. The Nubia Lord then moved for Returns of Grand Jury Presentments con meted with Hospitals. Houses of Industry, as id other similar in stitutions in Ireland, together with an account of the number of bath institutions, and of the fends by which they wort maintained. The Earl of 1.1 MERCK had Do intention to oppose the mo tion for the Returns; but the Noble Lord was mistaken if he sup posed that he was the only permit he this country who took a dif hewn view of the subject (rim himself.

Mr. FITZGERA LI) said, that with respect to the objection which had been admitted by the Honourable Member who bad presented the Petition to be contained in it, be c .nsidered it a sub-. stantial and not • a technical objection, and would suggest to the Honourable Member the propriety of withdraing the Petition utter having it read.

He considered that hlmost any change would he for the worse. Mr. V. FITZGRRALD said it was not the intention of Go. 'eminent to propose any alteration in the present Coro Laws. He considered that this was not t h e time in the present state of the country. ti) enter into a discussion without the hope of being able to come to any beneficial conclusion. • Isir. HUME, in moving that the petition be printed. wished to observe that it was not his Intention to abstain from bringing for ward his promised motion on the subject. He begged to say that p *as rather his Intention to persevere, than to desist. Mr. WA RUUKTON could not think that this was an improper opponunity to bring forward such a motion, because the country was in a state of great distress. The agriculturalists always bad been pressing upon such occasions. they always took advantage of a time of low prices. Mr. Alderman WAITH MAN considered that the Corn Laws were not the cause of the distresses of the country. THAD' WITH INDIA AND CHINA. Mr. WOOLRYCHE WHITMORE rise, pursuant to notice, to bring IHrward his motion. He said that the time had at•length arrived when this great •subject must neces-atily be discussed ; and it contained matter of so much moment, and concerned such large interests, .hat he (gated that he should have shrunk appalled from thevcimsideration of it, but he felt that the subject it.' seal was ime calculated to melte a deep impression, that the fscta connected w ith it were astounding in their na lute. and that the consequences arising from it were she greatest and most serious that could be considered. It was not to be wondered that he apprehended that he should not place the question in so clear a light as such lan important question ought to be placed in-; but then -- PRICE SE VENPENCE. he hoped that ethics better qualified to discuss such a subject would take part in the discussion, and that the imperlection whiCh would be found in his statement, and be was awese there would be many imperfections, might be amply removed in the course.nf the thicusion . by the assistance he should receive from toilets posse:4cl of mine experience and gteater knowledge. Having made these observations, he should proceed without fur ther preface to the subject of his motion. premising That he w odd divide the observations he had to offer under three heads, in accordance with the form of his motion, which was for an inquiry into the state of the trade between Great Britain, the Esst Indies, and China. It was absoiutely necessary, he conceived, to allude in Cie first place to Great Britain, because it must be quite clear to egret) , observer that during the last ten years the trade of this c )(miry was, to a cei fain degree. in a precarious state. and that our manuf .ctutine, agricul tut al, and commetcial interests were all subject to fre quent and violent itictuatlons. It was equally clear, in his opinion, tb-t hy an improvement and extension of our resources we might mitigate, in a considerable degree. if not altogether übsiate, those distresses with ,rhoch our mapulactutipp . populati it mine especially was occasionally assailed. It was his full conviction,- sad be•teras prepare) tit cuiuend for the proposition, that if the House, met this subject fairly, and locike, it IA the lace, tte means might be foetid in it to alleviate, if not toten t i e codourthevem ce . o n se uttu s , t e ift i he occasional distresses which affec t ed population. This was not a fit o•casion for going into an ex•ensinoioti of the c uses of those distresses; but he hi/bored they might be traced to the vast amount t f canital in this country seeking for employment, and to the gigantic power of production which the country possessed. B rib those causes, acting together, produced distress, and he contended that he could point out the only mode by which a tensed, could be indeed at, it he could show that a new field alight be opened for the development of capital, and a new field opened for the vent of the s mapulaetures produced. If a new field of this &scrip. don was openet, it was impossible to deny that it would produce great national benefit. Looking to the condi. don of behind too, the prospect of a oew channel for em pl oyment was most desirable. He admitted that. by the measure passed in the present Ses•ion of Parliament, the Legislature had removed the great impediMent to the improvement and prosperity of Leland. but that measure was not the sole means of improving the condition of the population of that country—Meer. Giving a larger strafe of employment to the people of Ireland was. perh aps e the most effectual means .ot improving their condition. Another consideration which rendered an .inquiry into this subject most de sirable at the present n.oment was the state of the coin• mereial relations of Great Britain with regard to foreign countries. Into those commercial relations he would not at peewee enter fully, but there WaSolle point which e felt he would not be justified in omitting—he alluded to our commercial relations wiih the Llit.test States of -America. It could not be disguised. that by a recent Act of the Legislature of that . coutstry our trade with Vie United States of America would be placed in a most precarious situation. The testi ictions to the importation of British manufactures into the U. iced States were so er g s's!' ssise, and the dude. placed on them so high, that the. poisons ehgdged in the trade between this country awl tnePnetea States were placed ins situation of the greatest difficulty, arid it was not easy to say shatmight be the mid of the is-tie of thy proceedings -A hich bad been 'Waited. That some inconvenience a s at present felt foots the state of our con.mesci.l reiatioris with the United States was most clear. and th•t con siderable injury might be done to our trasie thringh that country was equally obvious. It was a most serious .onsidesationthat we depended on the Unite.' States of AsarriCa for our supply of a large proportion of the 'raw %Ater jai employed in the chief -f out inaltufacinnto the cotton manufacture. That tins cosintly depended walmost entirely on America for the raw ciltiris used in our manufactures was Wrenc', tly c e,r, for S 4ths of the entire quantity imported into this coma' y was drawn from tie Unitei States of America. Ti.is tact alone, 1:e thought, if rded grounds for enteii..g upon the :on bidet .lion, whether we had not the means in s,ur o *yr colonies of providing ourselves with the oe.:essat y sop. 'ply of raw cotton instead of drawing so large a pro portion of that supply from anothet country? He was prepared to show that we possessed in r ur Min colohies ample means of producing the raw material to any Cl ient, and that of the vet,' best quality that coold possibly be produced in that article. The necessity which ix wed for a large supply of raw cotton, and the means wi ich we possessed of producing that article t.r any ezt-nt iu (v 'sidle possession.. was one of the sir ingest argu nsents which could be urged in favour of the removal of the present prohibitions. Having stated thus much, it was unnecessary for him, perhaps, to state that the trade between Great Britain and India was one • f con siderable value. Indeed, every one admitted that the trade with India was now the great st trade of this country, or if any other country in tee world. Nothing was eves mote completely uisproved than the anticipa tions of some Hottoui tibia Members when this question was discuised on the renewal of the Charter. It was not expected that there could be any increase of the trade with England, but the result falsified that notion.
