Nov. 25, 1823.—This (lay, at twci o'clock, his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief came down in state to the Legislative Council Chamber, and being seated on the throne, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent down to the House of Assembly to command their attendance before his Excellency, and that House being come up, his Ex, cellency opened the fourth Session of the eleventh Provincial Parliament with the following Speech : Gentlemen of the Legislative Connell, Gentlemen if the House of Assembly. It is painful to inc to meet you in each succeeding year with statements of difficulties in our financial affairs, but as they still exist, i: is incumbent upon me to bring them before you in the fullest detail ; and it is for that especial purpose I hays called you to meet at this early 'period. Placed an the Execu tive medium between the Imperial Treasury and this Provi sional Parliament, I ant to be guided by the decisions of both, in financial matters ; and having the satisfaction to know that the course I have pursued in the difficulties of this summer has been approved by his Majesty's Government, it remains for me to-submit to your consideration, in order that Parliament here may adopt such measures as to it shall seem best. Gentlemen of the Asseloly, I shall direct the proper officer to lay before you the annual accounts of the province, to the 31st of October last, so soon as they can be prepared ; also estimates of the probable ex pence& of the Ovil floyernment, for the year now commencing, in the same form as I presented tlielerin last Session, and In his 31,1jeaty's name I am to call t.von you to make proYision accordingly. Gentkmot qf the Legislative Counril. Gentkmen Vibe Haute of iitsembill• It is with great satisfaction I have to state, that the Revenue continues fully equal to what it has been for several years past, and that I consider the Province essentiAly prospering, even to a degree far beyond what is generally imagined.—Under existing circumstances, it man be unnecessary tbr me to re commend the iniprovement of the Roads, or the Canal now nearly completed ; or indeed any works which spring from public pecuniary aid : nevertheless, I trust they will not be omitted to your deliberations. - There are other subjects not so, depended, and no less im• portant to the public interests. The Judicature Bill, and that for the establishment of Register Offices have been already under your consideration, and I hope will be again resumed. We are already arrived at the last Session of this Parliament, let it be the anxious desire of all to close our labours in the harmony and effectual concert, which always promote public good and ensure public prosperity. In that desire, I think I need not assure you of my cordial concurrence. The following , Members of the Assembly were present, viz. : —The lion. 111 r. Vallieres the St. Real, Speaker, Messrs. liedeaux, Belanger, Blancher, Bourtlag,es, Bureau, Cuvillier, Davidson, Clonet, Henry Jones, E. C. Lagneux. L. Lagueux, Lengevie, 111`Calluiti, Neilson, o*am, Panet, Pare, J. Perrault, Proulx, Quironet, Rochon, St. lunge, Stuart, Tachereau and \tiger. The Members of the Legi►lative Council present were the Hon. Mr. Chief Justice Sewell, Speaker; the Hon. John Hale, A. L. J. Duchesnay, John Richardson, H. W. Ryland, Wm. Mqiillivray, Rev. ,J. 0. Maxis, Bishop of Quebec, James Irvine, M. 11. Perceval, Olivier Perrault, Wm. Burns, Thomas Coffin, T. P. J. Taschereau, Roderick, llPlienzie, W. B. Felton and Matthew Bell. The Elizabeth and Young Pmteus are expected to sail this svening,,and as the weather is clear they have every chance of getting to sea. The Schooner Mary Catherine, Capt. 'White, belonging to Wm. Priee, Esq. struck the ground several times in passing the Traverse on Thursday, the weather being hazy, and was run on shore at River du Loup in a sinking state.—Capt. Clint states that he saw no vessels on this side of the Traverse. The ships Margaret and Centurion, and brigs kabala and Ander, sailed on Sunday, The two lust fouled in getting under weigh, but sustained no serious injury, and got away at the turn of the tide. A gentleman front the King's Post came up ,on Saturday : he crossed to and travelled up the south shore. On Tuesday last, off' Green Island, he observed a ship, seemingly tight and standing up, which afterwards put about and bore away. Four vessels were then at anchor in the Brandy-pots-.saw. nothing of the four that sailed in the afternoon of Tuesday last, thinks they passed where he was on Wednesday night, as the wind was fair for them, and strong. .We hope soon to hear favourable accounts of the crafts for the lower ports. Letters have hien received from on hoard the St., Lawrence, which sailed hence on Saturday the h th. She discharged her. pilot on Sunday below Green Island; the Lady Gordon then at hand. The important law-ease connected with the property of the Gentlemen of the Seminary of Montreal, which was to have been decided in the last term of the Court of Appeals, was not brought on, owing to the pressure of httsiness and the time cm. * yea the demon of other cases on the file before the cue alluded to. I N 1) I A. (From Me Bombay Courier, May ?4, Ins.) By private letters from Canton, of date the 6th March, it appears that Company's Malwa nphint had risen to 1,460 dollars, and Demaun, opium to 800 dolLis per poctil. Bombay cotton. is quoted at Id tale per pocul, but the quan tity on hand was still very considerable, and a fall in price was accordingly expected, as soon as the supply of the present sea son should begin to arrive. On Sunday evening last, a fire broke out among the cotton bales piled on Bombay Green. It was first discovered about half-past eight o'clock, anti before nine it had in- closed in its destructive grasp several heaps containing many hundred bales. At that time the prospect was truly terrific;—in contact with ti; burning mass there were up wards of twenty thousand bales of unscrewed cotton ; the public offices of Government, the . arsesititilitaatstont house, the theatre, and many valuable private buildings, which im mediately surround the spot, were threatened with almost im mediate destruction—the engines produced no visible the heat from the fire was ekeessive, and the most serious ap prehensions were entertained that the whole of the town would be involved in the conflagration ;—indeed nothing but the prompt,and vigorous exertions used to clear away the bales from the vicinity of the tire, and the fortunate circumstance of their being very little wind during the night, could have saved it. About eleven o'clock a complete separation was accom plished, and from that time the . iire diminished, after consum ing nearly Rye thousand bales of Cotton and about 6 or 700 bags of Rice. Of the exertions used by the military on this occasion we cannot better speak, than in the language of the public order issued OD the following day : Extrart from Garrison Orders, 20th May, 1023. BY THE HONOURABLE TIV. GOVERNOR. The Honourable the Governor has much gratification in ex pressing his sentiments on the conduct of the troops and de partments employed in extinguishing the fire which broke out in the garrison on Sunday night, and which but for their spirit. ed exertions must haire communicated to the neighbouring buildings, and probably have involved the whole town in de strtiction. The personal zeal and intelligent arrangement of Lieut.-Colonel Ogilvie, C. 13. were particularly conspicuous, and the Hon. the Governor begs him to accept his acknow. ledgements, and to convey to the officers and men his best thanks for the prompt and effectual assistance rendered by them on this occasion. ' We cannot, however, refrain from adding that the praise worthy zeal of the military was powerfully seconded by the inhabitants of the town, both European and natives ; and that no individual exertion was more conspicuous than that of ma excellent Oovernor, who was to be seen in all parts where as. sistance could be most effeetually rendered, aiding and en• couraging those around, him. LATIOII/1 LTICHBARS.—We stated yesterday, from the La hors Illthhar, that the Sikh Army, un d er t h e personal com. :nand of ltaah ftungit Sing; hid a r r i ve d at t h e v ill a g o o r Ili 1 . nore, near V j izierabad ; and that orders had been issued to cod. lect boats for the crossing of the Grand Army,—this was in the early part of April ; and we have just leant, that account* had reached Lucknow of the Sikh Chieftain having attacked the Moraines, and that on th e 20th o f April he slew 26,000 men, and entered Kabool with his victorious army. The non. payment of the stipulated tribute, was said to be the caus e o f hostilities. The King of Kabool, has retired to the interior of the country.—(illaras courier.) A friend in the district of Tirhoot (who we hope will become a staunch contributor to our columns), informs us in a letter under date the 12th instant., that several showers had fallen in that district lately, and that the Indigo Crop does not look so 11l as is generally represented :—on the contrary, he assures us. that the cultivation of wane Factories is highly promising. THE ARMY IN INDIA. COURT 111ARTIATJ. CALCUTTA, 31st MAY, 1823.—At A Native General Court Martial assembled at Dinapore, on Friday the 9th day of May, 1823, Meer Mahomed Ally, Subadar of the 24 Battalion 2,311 Regiment Native Infantry, was arraigned upon the under.men. ed Charges: viz.--- Ist. For scandalous and infamous conduct unbecoming the, Charitcter of an Officer, in having at kissengunge, on or about the 215th of October 182-2, stolen a copper vessel lent to Sewjat Khan, Ilavildar 24 Battalion 211 Native Infantry, for the ce. lebration of the Mahomedan feast, held on the 40th day of the Alohurrurn. 2d. ", For retaining In his possession from on or about the 25th day of October, ,1833, until on or about the 20th day of January, 1823, the above-mentioned copper vessel, and repeat edly denying between those two dates his havinq the vessel ; much Cu'Ottet being 'derogatory to the character of a Commie. sinned ilrglicer, and to the prejudice of good order andllilitary Upon which Charges the Court came to the following tle. Vinding—" The Court having maturely weighed and consi dered the Evidence adduced on the prosecution, as well as what has been urged on the defence, is of opinion that:the prisoner Meer Mahonted Ally, Subaclor 24 Battalion 23d Native In fantry, is nut guilty of the Ist Charge exhibited against hini. " That the prisoner Meer Alahomed Ally, Subadur 2tl Bat talion 23(1 Nato e Infantry, is guilty of the 2tl Charge exhi. bited against him::: Sente . nce.- 4 "The Court having found the prisoner Meer Mahomed Ally, Subadar 4 2t1 Battalion 23d Native Infantry. guilty of the tld Charge, which being in breach Odic articles of war, does sentence hint to be suspended from rank and pay for I'S Calendar Months." Di approved (Signed) EDWARD PAGET, General Commander-in-Chief. Remarks by Ms Excel Marls the commander4n-Chity: ' Peculiar circumstances rendering it impossible to order this Court-Alartial to re.assemble for the purpose of reconsidering their Verdict, the Commander-in-Chiet is reduced to the alter native of immediately recording his unqualified disapproval of their Sentence. His Excellency refrains from any observations upon the de. cision of the Court on the first charge,. because be imagines that the direct viva voce examination of Witnesses must have afforded the Court a better opportunity of justly appreciating their several testimonies, than the perusal of a written record can ; but with regard to the second charge, the finding and sentence are too much at variance.to be passed over without comment. It is clear that the Court mast have entertained a very in adequate idea of the magnitude of the offence laid in this charge, for otherwise they must, in, due regard to their oath, after a Verstict of Guilty, had passed a very diMrent sentenee,—whilst no imainable motive strikes the Commander in Chief's mind, as likely to have led a person of rile prisoner's rank anti re spectability, to the commtitsion of such a crime. Doubts arises out of those considerations, to the benefit of which the tinhar is englitted ; for in such a case, and with such doubts hanging op ut it, his Excellency cannot recon dle it to himself to submit a native commissioned officer to.the degradation which would for over attend the infliction of the sentence passed .by the Court upon such a charge. The General Officer commanding the division will be pleas ed to direct that those observatious shall be explained to Alter.

Sin—Allow me to oiler you my best thanks for the zealous and spirited manner in which you have taken up the cause of suffering Greece; and I also avail myself of this occasion, to acknowledge with gratitude the readiness eviosed by the Editors of all the Journals I have visited (without any regard to their pp , litical opinions) to promote the, object of my journey. ris perfect accordance in the Prestiy the great organ and guide of priblic opinion, is the, best proof that Could be adduCed of the justice of,the cause r are endeavouring, however feebly, to plead ; while its support affords the : surest earnest that my humble labours will not be alto, gether unsuccessful. As [have already discovered that the greateSt misconceptions have prevailed, both with reSpett to'the origin and nature of the struggle in Greece, it becomes my duty to de clare, that the object of the printed Papers T am• circulating, is to slew,, that a nation of Christians is not Only contending for existence, but, de prived of food and raiment, are bravely fighting to preserve Christianity in the East of Europe„. exposed to all the itlelelnelicies of a season ren dered doubly severe by the mountainous nature of the country in which the contest is carried on. Now, if these ,facts are incontrovertible, and there is ample evidence that they are, how is it. possible for any person, professing the doctrines of Christianity, to withhold his sympathy front the ill-fated Greeks, without a dereliction of that sublime maxim which forms the very corner stone of our faith ? As 1 did not undertake my present journey before I conceived that every objectio►► urged against the Greek people and their cause had been satisfactorily answered', I shall not now stop t o enter the field of controversy, in making any new allusion to exploded prejudices but one demur, of which I have only heard since I quitted the Metropolis, requires a word or two by w a y of reply. Some individuals, actuated no doubt by the best intentions, withhold their mite, beca►.►se they do not wisl► to subscribe to a fund intended. for the support of war ; although, if ever there ought to be any exception to this philanthropic rule, it should surely be made where a nation of Christians are opposed to INlahometans who have frequently argued on the expediency 44 their total extermination. It is of impor i ae, 4o to inform thew, that the Nociety at Frientlit, whose subscription has been productive of incalculable benefit to thousands of forlorn and distressed Greeks, is open to the benevolent of every sect. As, however, in conformity to the original design, relief is only extended to those Greeks who have Bed from Mussel_ man fury, its operation must necessarily he con tined to a smaller circle than that of the Greek, Committee, which is, in fact, intended as well t o succour the needy outcasts of Greece, us to pre vent and avert the direful calamity thut must mediately ensue, should they be vanquished the pending struge;lo,, flaying stated the above facts it merely remains ror me to add, that the great object of solicitude with the friends of Greece is, to witness the forma. tion of local associations it► the principal towns of the, kingdom, on the model of that just established at Cambridge ; and they arr abovo all things de sirons that, like the Cambridge Committee, an association brought together for the hallow e d purpose of saving a whole Christian commu►tity from perishing, he not cont►►minated by the pes6 tilential breath of party spirit or politieni :Wake. Agreeably to this plan, I urn most sedulous in addressing myself first to the ministers of religiou, and then to civilians of every sect and dennaiina. lion. I have but one sorrowful tale to disclose. to all—l tell them, that remscitated and struggling Greece is at this moment stretching out her hands to a nation still mnowned through the world for love of freedom, and her generosity to the oppressed of every clime and country. Leaving it to those I thus address to lay their hands on their hearts, and say how far they are bound by the ties of religion and mo r dit y , more especially by the oft-repeated preeept s of their blessed Redeemer, to answer the mos't ir resistible appeal 4' %Tr made to British sytorities. I am, Sir, your's very respectfully., MT. 25, 111 V.
