MINUTES OF EVIDENCE BEFORE A SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMOMS, OK EMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM. (Continued from the Sia of Tuesday.) R. J. WILMOT HORTON, rIKIVIRIt o 111 1111 CHAIR. Lieutenant Colonel COCK BU RN's Statement topologia. The two parts of Lower Canada where there is the largest portion of vacant lands to be granted in free and common socc age, are the eastern townships and the left bank of the Grand or Ottawa river. There can be no doubt that either the one or the other will afford suffi cient means of locating a very large proportion of emigrants, but my own opinion is decidedly in favour of establishing the emigrants on the lands in the neigh bourhood of the Ottaway, in preference to sending them to the eastern townships, for the following reasons: The French Canadians are apprehensive (and I think aot without some cause) that ere long there will be a teareity of that description of vacant lands, the parti eolu tenure of which they consider best suited to their habits, and•to which they have been invariably accus tomed; the increase of their population of course aff,rds just grounds for the increase of this apprehension. The distance and difficulty of communication horn the eastern townships towards the river St. Lawrence is in evidence before the Committee; but I think no questions were asked as to the communications between the townships and the United States, otherwise it would also, I believe, have appeared that in such respect very little, if any, difficulty exists. If, then, the comaionica • lion from the townships to the States is good, and to the St. Lawrence bad, it is surely evident that to the States the attention of those who settle in the townships will inevitably be directed. I have long regretted the en couragement which has of late been given to opening communications from the United States towards the south bank of the Sr. Lawrence; in the event of future wars the impolicy of having so done will, I suspect, be felt. The barrier which The Bush afforded was the best which could be offs ed ; it can no longer be said to exist. The best which can be offered in its place, is a, dense population of French Canadians, who, from tie entire difference not only in language and religion but in every habit of lite, will I firmly believe never be induced to mix or traffic with the Amelicans. Would it not be well, then, to appropriate the waste lands in that direction to an erension of seigneuries and a con tinuous chain of French Canadian settlements from the St. Lawrence towards the States? A better militia than that of Lower Canada does not exist; a more tractable or well disposed people than the lower orders of French Canadians I never saw.. The front townships on the left bank of the Ottawa are,' "I fear, already disposed of; and this is the more to be lamented, as until arriving at Hull scarcely any improvements have been made therein : were these front townships vacant, they would on every ac count be as valuable as any lands in either province, their short distance from Montrea', the 6ne navigable river on which they are situated, the rich timber with which they are covered, the fertility of the extensive valleys lying in their rear, and the entire security of si tuation from American inroad or communication, all enhance their value; in addition to which, a Canal is now cutting by Government, in the township of G.en vine, to enable vessels to pass up and down, without encountering the difficulties and dangers of the Long. Salt rapids, and with a view to establishing a comma: nication between Lower Canada and the Upper Province distinct from the St. Lawrence. It is on these grounds that I - shonld recommend the vacant lands nearest to the Ottawa as more eligible for settlements than any others above Quebec; many rivers and streams run through them, and discharge into the Ottawa, which in this pait of it is in no way inferior to the St. Law rence, with the great and powerful advantage of having both its banks in your own possession. In proceeding up the Ottawa rivet there is no fear of settlers being allured over to the States; on placing them on lands in its vicinity, there is a fair prospect of their retaining the feelings and habits of the country they have left. Siould thti idea of making a water communication from the Ottawa to Kingston, in Upper Canada, by means of the Rideau, be put in force, settlers so placed will be in the immediate neighbourhood to assist in and be assisted by so extensive an undertaking. It is true there is a want of roads in this part of the country, but even in this re wect I am not aware of any place where opening com mooications wiil be attended with more lasting . or in creasing advantages, or where less expenditure in this way will be required. A reference to any map of the Canada: will more fully explain to the Committee the .itlyantiges of this situation. The agricultural success and opiiiivns of a man of the name of Wright, who has The relative advantages of the various but more di:- tent situations in Upper Canada are too well known to the Committee to require my entering into detail there. on ; I shall therefore merely suggest, that on account of nor principal naval depot for Lakes Erie and Huron being now at Penetaugushine, I should recommend. us the event of emigrants being sent as far as Yut k, that settlements should be established between Lakes Simcoe and Huron, in the vicinity of the Penetaugushine Road, and extending towards the Notawasawga river. The Com mittee are s 3 fully aware of the nuis ince arising from the clergy reserves, the hindrance to settlement, and the enormous addition .1 ex, ense incurred in establishing emigrants, owing to the want of roads and to the incon venience and injustice of persons holding large tracts of land without in any way contributing to their im provement, that it will be unnecessary to enlarge th-neoc. I shall, therefoie, conclude this statement with such remarks as I consider in like manner applicable to new `aettlinuems in general. No time should be lost in di recting the of f icers adminlitering the governments in the difFe. ant colniies tnsend home returns, ',putting out the different townships th ithave been laid out, the years they were surveyed, the *present state of their popula tion, the number of lots they contain, and distinguishing as minutely as possible the number of lots granted and the number still remaining vacant in each ; or if emi gration is really to be enauraged, I would suggest that some person should proceed to the different c , lonies to obtain still further and more particular information on the spot, and to make the necessary arrangements, in conjunction with the governors. The earlier commu nication could be had with the different counties in England, Scetland, and Ireland, so as to acquire some idea of the numbers wishing to go out, the better it would be; and I have no doubt that • long notice of transport, being required, would tend to the obtaining it at a lower rate. The number of emigrants to be sent out once fixed upon, arrangements should be made for I their subsequent removal horn their present homes to the place of emb .rkation. At this first stage of their proceeding, the necessity of some positive limitation as respects the quality and quantity of baggage must be made. For the sake of ltowage, their packages should be of equal and square siz?s, and the number of them depend on the number of the family. This perhaps is one of the most important regulations connected with an extensive systenitif emigration; and if not duly en forced, the number of absurd and uselest articles for which government will have to pay the transport, will be beyond description. Their plate of disembarkation must of course depend on the particular parts of the different provinces to which they ate to be sent ; but this also should be fixed on as soon as possible, so as to afford early information thereon to see persons who must be employed in arranging the means of transport from the place of disembarkation to the place of settle ment. And here perhaps it may be proper to suggest, that if there is any place in the provinces where emi grants are likely to be disembarked in numbers for a continuance of years, it would be right to have some public building appropriated to their use during the time they remain, and an hospital, in which any of those may be placed who from sickness or other casualties on the voyage may be unable to proceed without such ar rangement. The disembarkation of a number of emi grants would be a tax and annoyance beyond descrip. tion to the inhabitants of the place. Each settlement should consist of four townships,. sad be under the di. rection of a superintendent, who would reqiiire the assistance of two clerks and two issuers. As the land in ,these four townships was taken up, the settling depart ment, as above, might remove to ether townships Half-pay officers might perhaps be the best :old most economical persons to fill the situations of superintend ents. It would, I think, be well that a central spot should be fixed upon in each settlement, where the go vernment might in the first instance clear and fence a space of about thirty acres, on which the storehouses and superintendent's office might be built with greater security from fire ; the extra ground to be planted with potatoes, unions, and such like, and the produce appro. primed to the support of the settlers, and as a part of their rations. A saw and grist mill would also tend in great measure to forward the prosperity of the settle ment, and would doubtless in a very short time moi e than repay the original cost. Large buildings to be u:ed as schools, and wherein the younger children of the settlers might be kept, would relieve the parents from the trouble of attending to the children, and thus place the parents at liberty to pursue without interns; von the improvement of their locations. These buildings might, in the first instance, be used as churches, and clergymen of the different religions should be sent to the settlement. The space cleared by government might, as opportuni ties offered, be given out in acre and half acre lots, for the formation of a village ; but no lot should be so given without due means being taken fir ascertaining that the person receiving it will immediately erect a 'house thereon. Roads must be opened from the old set tled to thenesv settled country; and it should be consider ed that every pound laid out in this way will not only tend sothe general advantage of the settlement, but most ma terially lower the price of transport. Tracks should also be cut through the woods, for the benefit of settlers coming in to fetch their provisions; and occasional finger.posts at the corners of the lots might prove very useful, and lessen the employment of guides. It should be a standing rule, that no person connected with the settling department should on any account receive lands within the settlement tp which he belongs. Dia grams of the townships should be kept at the superin tendent's office, for the public inspection of the settle ments, so that persons entitled to receive lands might see the situation of the vacant lots, and choose for them. selves; but no person should be located until he has seen and examined the lot he asks for, and then, pre vious to being located, he should sign, in a book to be kept for that purpose, that he has examined and is satisfied with his lot; after which no exchange sh..uld be allowed. The rules and regulations of the settlement should be read to every settler previous to his being located ; and he should also sign to having heard, un. derstood, and agreed to abide by them. No printed location-tickets should be given ; they tend to make the settler imagine he has irrevocable possession of his lot, And I have even known them convened to fraudulent purposes. In addition to their rations, the settler should receive seed-corn for their first crops, tools, nails, hinges, glass, &c. to assist them in building their houses; a proportion of blankets on particular occa sions, and in some cases assistance in the coarser articles of clothing ; leaving it at the discretion of the superinp tendents to grant additional assistance as is reward for industry, exertion and good conduct, or in cases of sickness, wounds or fires, might be beneficial; but whenever additional assistance is given, the reason for so doing should be publicly recorded. There should be a clever, humane and active medical man in each settlement : persons on the half-pay of the army medical department would be the mo,t fit and economical for this put pose. No lot should be appropriated or re servei tm any pretence whatever, even for a single day, for perions not on the spot, and actually ready to conte mence its improvem-ut. No setter should be allowed to dem the settlement without obtaining a previous permission so to do from the settling department; and if he does. his lot should be given to some other person; and this should be one of the rules most strongly im pressed on the settler's mind. The common period for furnishing a settler with his deed is at the expiration of three years after he has commenced his improven.ca ; V . and as it is to the possession of his deed that he 100 ks forward as a reward for all his trouble, deprivation and : fatigue, it would, I think, be better that the deedsbould be so worded as to secure the Government in the repay ment of any sum advanced for the settler, rather than be withheld for a protracted period. I have already stated to the Committee my conviction, that an ex•en sive system of emigration can only succeed if carried on under the immediate control of the Colonial office. The offices abroad will of course be in constant communi cation with the office at home • similar books and dia grams will of course be kept iondon to those which are kept at the settlements, so that every 'previous in formation may be obtained here by those going out, as to the situation, success, itc. of those who have pre• ceded them; the office in London would of course be also in collagist communicition with We, dif• ferent counties in England4reland t 4nd Scotland ; a general system of information miggstAns be regularly kept up. I have not coosidered myself din any way called upon, or indeed adequate, todiscusi the mode of procuring funds, to cars.r ihrOugh an meanie system of emigration; ball would suggest, in mere allusion to this difficult and important part of the subject, whether soutCarraugement might not be nude with those per kops who hold large and valuable t rade of land in the colonies, either to-receive and rlare settlers thereon, or to assist in defraying some portion of the expense of the emigration atoput to take place. Were courts of escheat once established, I cannot but think it would be of gi eat and immediate advantage, for it would either oblige the proprietors to improve their lands. or would re. possess the crown of millions of acres which might be settled at, comparatively speaking. a cheap rate ; or might be sold for sums which would more than defray the present proposed expenditure.

MONDAY, APRIL 24.—We publish from Tire Cei- _ cuffs Government Gazette Extraordinary. the following intelligence relative to the peace with the Government of Ava, and the la.est proceedings in the Burmese ter ritories. PEACE WITH AVA. At a late hour last night the Enterprise reached Calcutta, having on board his Excellency Sir Archi. b ild Campbell, hir. Robertson, and Mr. Mangles, ete return of whom to Calcutta is the consequence of a con. elusion of peace with the Burmese. The public tilt patches announcing the ratification of the Treaty were torwarded by Cul. Tidy and Captain Snodgrass, on board the Alligator, which lest Rangoon a weeliNbefore the Enterptize ves,el arrived, and may be therefore hourly expecte& 'the Arachne sailed at the same time for Mairas. We have been favoured with the follow ing particulars of this impottant and satisfactory et ens: —After leaving Pagalunchew, Sir Archibald Camp bell was met by repeated messengers of the King, oiftr ing terms short of those demanded, which offal were of course rejected. At last, however, when the army was within four days march of the capital, Mr. Price again made his appearance, bringing with him the Treaty ratified by the King, and paid down the stipu lated sum of 25 lacs, the remainder to be paid in the manner previnusly determined on. The prisoners were given up, and amongst them was MG Gouger. In ad. dition to the southern provinces of Tavai and Megni, we are to retain Manahan, to the east of the Salaam, or Manahan river. The ratification of the Treaty took place in the end of February. The troops cianmenced their return on the Sill of March, by water, and had all arrived at Rangoon. Six European regiments had been embarked, besides the Bengal Artillery, when the Enterprise left. Some of the transports with his Majesty's 13th, 28th, and 41st, had sailed, and it was expected that the whole would be withdrawn by the middle of May. Since writing the above, we have been favoured with the following additional details: The Treaty was confirmed on the 24th of February. The treasure, consisting of rupees, and gold and silver bars, is on board the Alligator. A patty from the camp paid a visit to the, capital, and were received by the King with every honour. Mr. Crawford bad gone to Martaban in the Diana steamer. A battalion, with all the elephants, and attended by two Burmese Chiefs, have proceeded from Jembewg hewn to Arracan, via Aen.
