The first trip of which our contemporary, upon tie authority of a correspondent, gives the working, was an experimental one, made from Paddington to Swied(li arid back. It is stated by our contemporary, hi noticing the power of the engine as displayed in tte j ourney, that the engine and tender weigh fifty-six tons, and that it was ascertained the engine could, with a load of 140 tons, travel at the average speed of 55 miles per hour. This is incorrect. The engine and tender, taking th e average weight of the latter with her complement of water and coke over the whole distance run, weigh 43, and not 56 tons; and the average speed' to and from Swindon, deducting time lost in stoppages, was 50, and t i i t s h, the‘ vith uwe tons,tr, 2 on B a tons fa not 56 miles p e r h our .

On 9h. that occasion the new engine took t h e train fr om Pad dington through to Exeter. lie states th at the 193 miles were performed in 214 minutes, whereas the actual time was but 208 minutes. The extra six minutes reduce the actual speed of the train nearly two miles per hoar. He makes the lime occupied in run ning the 53 miles to Didcot 55 minutes, whereas it was but 52 minutes. This mistake reduces the rate of speed three miles per hour. The time from Didcot to Swindon, 24 miles, is stated to have been 30 minutes, whereas it was but 25m. 50s. This error makes the velocity above four miles less than it really was. It will be found that travelling at the speed attained by the engine on Monday, and in fact every day she has been at work, an engine loses about five minutes in slackening her velocity when ar riving at, and getting it up when departing from a station. The engine made five stoppages be tween Paddington and Exeter; therefore 25 minutes have to be deducted from her working, exclusive of the time lost while the train was at a state of rest at the stations, in order to arrive at the actual working speed of the engine. Deducting, therefore, 25 minutes for the de crease of speed when arriving at, and the getting into speed when leaving, the five stations, it will be seen that her average traetive_power withthe ordinary heavy express trains of th e Great i'V' estern can accomplish 194 miles in 183 minute s , or a t a rate of something like sixty-three miles per hour. B u t even this does not fairly show the real power of this extraordinary loco motive. If we exclude the comparatively slow rate at which the engine driver ran down, not up, the inclines, and the loss of time when arriving at and departing from the stations, and if we also leave out of the calculation the whole distance from Taunton, from which place to Exeter the power of the engine was reduced to prevent the train running into the latter station too much before her time, the rate of travelling varied from about sixty-two to sixty-nine miles per hour. The 34 miles between the 13th and 47th mile posts were performed in 31 min. 30 sec., in clusive of the time lost by shutting off the steam, while going through the Slough station, at or nearly 65 miles per hour. In this distance there are about 4 miles of falling gradient of 4 feet per mile; about 81- miles of level and about 20k miles of rising gradient, 18 of which are 4 feet per mile. At the 91st mile-post, we come to a rising gradient of 8 feet per mile, which reaches beyond the 98th mile-post. The 91st mile-post was passed at 11 hours 45 min. 53 sec., and the engine came abreast of the 98th at 11 hours 52 min. 46 sec., performing, therefore, the 7 miles up the incline in 6 min. 53 sec., or at rather more than 61 miles per hour. The train left Bristol (118 miles), at 12 hours 39 min., and by the time it reached the 125th mile, it was proceeding at nearly 70 miles per hour. A portion of the road from Bristol to Taunton is practically a level, the remainder being steep undulating gradients. The engine took the train over the line, between the 125th and the 16Ist mile-posts—viz., 36 miles, in 33 min. 25 sec., orat a rate of more-than 64 miles and a half per hour. The jour ney from the 166th to the 191st mile-posts, running up • • OW of the engine was, as we nave — FlL reauy seLrtr, reautes f---- after passing Taunton. _ But with this reduction of speed the train got into Exeter 9 minutes before time. Between Swindon and Bath the engine was worked much below her power. The distance, 29:1, was done in 33 min. 15 sec., bat it could have easily been gone over in 28 minutes. The keeping back the train between Taunton and Exeter, occasioned a loss of about 6 min. The time lost in stopping at the stations was, in conse quence of the engine arriving at them before the stated time upwards of 52 minutes, whereas the time should not exceed 22 minutes. If we therefore deduct from the 4 hours and 21 min. occupied by the journey from the station at Paddington to the station at Exeter, the 30 min. unnecessary delay at the stations, and the 10 or 12 minutes that might very easily have been saved between Swindon and Bath and Taunton and Exeter, we see that this class of engine could work the express train over the 194 miles in 3 hours and 40 minutes, hi.. eluding the refreshment stoppage of 10 min, at Swindon, as well as the four other stoppages, or at an average rate between platform and platform , o f nearl y 53 miles per hour. With engines such a s this Birmingham might be reached in about t w o hours, Liverpool and Manchester in four hours , and Edinburgh in eight hours. Dover, by its present circuitous and most inco9- venient route might—as only one stoppage to take in. water would be requisite—be reached with ease in a n hour and a half, and with a direct line in an hour and a quarter. Upon a line worked with these powerful en gi-nes, the traveller might leave London at six o'clock in the morning, reach Edinburgh at two in the afternoon, remain an hour in the city, and return to London by eleven o'clock at night. In other words, he might breakfast in London, luncheon in York, dine and trans act business at Edinburgh, and yet eat his supper in London on the same day. On Thursday the express train, weighing 90 tons, and worked by the same en gine, travelled from Didcot to Paddington, 53 miles, in 51 minutes—that is, from station to ant . n. The speed between the 47th and 2d mile posts averaged seventy miles per hour ; and yet, twenty years ago, it was d_e • monstrated to be impossible to make a locomotive take 20 or 30 tens at 13 miles per hour.--Herald.

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments wad their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws• whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted , health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to eurselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivatton of our faculties, which is in consistent with_degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

The following is a copy of the address to her Ma jesty from the Legislative Assembly of Canada, respect ing the admission of foreign corn into the British mar kets, which was so frequently alluded to in the last de bate upon the subject : " To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " Most Gracious Sovereign, " We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of Canada in Parliament assembled, respect fully beg leave to address your Majesty on a subject of the highest importance to the inhabitants of this province. " We assure your Majesty, that while we have seen with unmingled satisfaction the happiness and prospe rity of the people of this colony advancing in steady. and successful progression under that moderate system of protection of her staple productions, grain and tim ber, which your Majesty and your Imperial Parliament have hitherto graciously secured to them, we feel that we should be wanting in our duty, as well to your Ma jesty as to our constituents, did we fail earnestly to represent to your Majesty that we view with serious apprehension and alarm, as detrimental to the best in terests of this colony, the adoption of the proposed prin ciple of commercial intercourse now under the consider ation of the Imperial Parliament. " We cannot but fear that the abandonment of this protective principle, the very basis of the colonial com mercial system, is not only calculated materially to re tard the agricultural improvement of the country, and check its hitherto rising prosperity, but seriously to im pair our ability to purchase the manufactured goods of Great Britain ; a result alike prejudicial to this colony and the parent state. " We feel truly grateful to your Majesty for enabling us, by guaranteeing the payment of 1,500,0001., to un dertake many valuable public improvements, which are now approaching to completion, and which under the existing laws would ultimately prove productive. But Should the duties on foreign and colonial produce enter ing the United Kingdom be assimilated, as at present proposed by your Majesty's Imperial Government, it is much to be apprehended that the agriculturists of this province will be deprived of a fair and remunerative price for their surplus produce ; and that, consequently, the increase of our staple products, which was reason ably anticipated, was checked to such an extent as mate rially to lessen the emiatwhat._Ait...olan_e...i. w.nri ...her "We respectfully represent to your Majesty that, situated as Canada is, and with a climate so severe as to leave barely one-half of the year open for intercourse by the St. Lawrence with the mother country, the cost of transporting her products to market is much greater than is paid by the inhabitants of the United States ; and that without a measure of protection, or some equi valent advantage, we canno t success f u lly compete with that country. "It therefore becomes our duty, as faithful subjects of your Majesty, to point out what we sincerely believe must be the result of measures which have for their ob jectat esptrheernetpeeanlgaogfed in agriculturalthelaws affording protection to the secondlyp, pursuits Expo r t t ra d e. First, i t w ill di scourage th ose rs i u t i ts willfro from ex- tending their operations ; pre vent the infl ux o f respecta bl e em i gran t s f rom the mother c oun t ry, who h ave f or man y y ears past settled and who , contributed in larg e num b ers on th e wa ste lands of th e by tot th that eir rapidmaterially industry advancement capital, 0f havethe country which we have before noticed ; and, lastly, it is much to be feared that, should the inhabitants of Canada, from the withdrawal of all protection to their staple products, find that they cannot successfully . Co mpete with their neighbours of the United States in the only market open to them, they will naturally and of necessity begin to doubt whether remaining a portion of the British empire will be of that paramount advantage which they have hitherto found it to be. These, we humbly submit, are considerations of grave importance both to your Majesty and the people of this province ; and we trust we need not assure your Majesty that any changes which would tend in the remotest degree to weaken the ties that have for so many years, and under trying circumstances, bound the people of Canada to that land which they are proud to call their mother country, would be viewed as the greatest misfortune, which could befal them. " We would further remind your Majesty that while, in compliance with the recommendation of the Imperial Government, we have passed a law repealing all duty on American produce coming through our country for ex portation, no similar advantage is accorded by the Ame rican Government to the people of this province, but that duties, amounting in most cases to prohibition, are rigorously maintained by that Government on every ar ticle of oars entering within their ports. The disadvan tage we must lab our un d er i n thi s respect is so apparent, that we respectfully request your Majesty will be pleased to cause the necessary steps to be taken for opening a negotiation with the Government of the United States for the admission of our produce into their ports, on the same terms that theirs are admitted into those of Great Britain and this colony. "We also humbly request that your Majesty will favourably consider the justice of admitting the products of this province generally into the imperial ports free of duty, as the expense of transportion is in itself all the protection which our fellow-subjects in the united king dom can reasonably expect as respects the imports from a colony situated at such a distance from the mother country, and with ports closed to commerce for so large a portion of the year. And we the more confidently appeal to your Majesty's justice upon this point as the relief we seek in this particular is in strict accordance with the very principles upon which the charges that we deprecate are based , a s well received through your Majesty' as through the assurance s Secretary of State, th a t it is the desire of your Majesty's Government that the trade of Canada should in all respects approach as nearly to perfect freedom as the w i s h es of the inhabitants and the exigencies of the public revenue may permit. " While the subject that we have thus brought under the notice of your Majesty embraces other points re quiring the gravest deliberation, and calling for the most favourable consideration on the part of the imperial au thorities, your Majesty's faithful Commons have felt it to be their duty to your Majesty, to the Imperial Par liament and the mother country, and to their own con stituents, to lose no time in at once approaching your Majesty with the declaration of their views upon that part of it embraced in their present address, and to which, renewing their assurance of devoted attachment to your Majesty's person and Government, they ear nestly entreat your Majesty's most gracious and favour able consideration. " Attested, " W. B. LINDSAY, Clerk of Assembly. " Legislative Assembly, Tuesday, May 12, 1846." The following is Mr. Gladstone's reply : "Downing-street, June 3. "My Lord,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's dispatch, No. 54, of the 13th of May, transmitting to me, for presentation to her Majesty, an address which has been voted by her Majesty's loyal subjects the Commons of Canada. In this address it is set forth that the Assembly of Canada regard the adop tion of the principle of commercial intercourse now under the consideration of the Imperial Parliament with serious apprehension and alarm, and various grounds are stated for entertaining such impressions. Her Ma jesty has been pleased to receive this address with the fullest confidence in the loyalty and intelligence of her 1 faithfv.l Commons of Canal,. ; but it is with sincorQ eon cern that her Majesty has lear ne d t h e ex i stence, i u such a quarter, of anticipations of such a character. ~ I have it in command from her Majesty to address JUNE 11, 1846. to your Lordship the following observations in regard to the matter of the address, which have been submitted by her Majesty's advisers for her gracious approval, and to which she has been pleased to give her sanction. " Her Majesty's Government conceive that the pro tection principle cannot with justice be described as the universal basis, either of the general connexion between the United Kingdom and its colonies, or even of their commercial connexion. There is a large and important group of the colonies of this country, having a very ex tended commerce, and one of a peculiarly British char acter, in relation to which the protective system has at no time exercised a powerful influence, and in relation to which at present it has little more than a nominal ex istance. I speak of the Australian colonies. And it cannot fail to be remarked, that while these are the most distant, and, therefore, according to the supposition of many, the most in need of commercial preference, they have also made the most rapid progress, and have thus most effectually belied that necessity. It is true, indeed,that a part of their material prosperity may be ascribable to the supply of penal labour ; but this is far from afford ing an explanation of the case, since perhaps the most remarkable instances of vigorous and rapid growth among the Australian possessions of her Majesty have been instances in which penal labour has been altoge ther unknown. The energy of the colonists has, with out doubt, under Divine Providence, been the main cause of their singular advancement ; stimulated but not over borne by distance, and aided, not repressed, by the en joyment of commercial freedom. The same energies, with less disadvantage of distance to contend against, will, it may be confidently predicted, have a similar effect in developing the resources of British North America, and not with less, but rather with the more signal sue sess, when capital, industry, and skill shall be left to take their own spontaneous direction, and to turn to account, a and instrumentssi ndividualprudenceof wealth which shall suggest,tih theheeabu bounty e mate rialsndantf Heaven has bestowed. " Her Majesty's Government have been glad to find 1- that the Assembly has viewed with an unmingled satis faction !the prosperity of Canada under the moderate system of protection which has hitherto prevailed ; but the Assembly cannot fail to recollect that all the pro gressive relaxations of that system, which for a series of years past have been introduced into the law, have been met and resisted by predictions of the ruin that was honestly but erroneously conceived would follow them, and that ; those predictions have with a remark able uniformity been disappointed. Expeaience cannot but suggest that a similar insecurity attaches to the re newal of the same expectations founded on the same arguments. "It is not for the sake of controversial or purely ar gumentative advantage that her Majesty's Government refer to former apprehensions, and to the manner in which they have been dissipated by the I event. A retrospect of this kind is calculated to throw clear and abundant light upon the real merits of the question. The fears which are now entertained have reference to the circumstance that it is proposed to re move all differential duty between Canadian and foreign corn. Is it, then, to be shown that Canadian corn trade has prospered heretofore in proportion to the amount of such differential duty ?-Far otherwise. The law of 1828 diminished the difference in favour of Canada ; the law of 1842 further and greatly diminished the diference in favour of Canada ; the law of 1843, which reduced the duty on Canadian wheat to ls. per quarter, still left a much smaller difference in its favour, as against foreign wheat, than existed under either of the former corn laws ; and yet the corn trade of Canada has grown and prospered ; and its extension has, doubtless, contributed in no small degree to the happiness and prosperity of the people of the colony, which the Assembly, sharing in the unmingled satisfaction of her Majesty and the British Parliament, has seen advancing in steady and successful progression. But this extension has taken place, not under protection secured from change, nor under protection fortified by successive increments, but contemporaneously with a series of changes involving its great diminution. _ " It appears to be the impression of the Assembly that some great revolution of prices is likely to occur, as the consequence of the pending changes in the law, which will deprive the Canadian farmer of all hope of remune ration for his surplus produce. But the Canadian farmer is advancing from year to year in capital and in science ; and, to say nothing of the great advantages he cannot fail to derive from improved communications, it would surely be rash to assert, nor probably do the Assembly in their address intend to imply, that his in dustry must be paralysed unless he shall continue to re ceive the precise amount of average payment for his grain that he has hitherto received for it. Doubtless the alarm which has been excited has refer ence to the idea of some sudden, great, and permanent reduction of price, to follow the repeal of the British corn-law. Without pretending to estimate too nicely the momentary or the occasional effects of that measure, her Majesty's Government cannot but admit that they could better appreciate at least certain pre sumptive, though far from demonstrative, grounds for the alarm of the Canadian agriculturist in regard to the future fortunes of the colony if they shared in such an anticipation. To some reduction of average 'and usual ruice,, from the removal of stritiPaitti regtrainto then gra ducing countries of the globe, they cannot but be per suaded that it would be unwise, whether in the friends or the opponents of commercial relaxation, to recom mend or dissuade it on the ground of any great revolu tion in permanent prices to be operated by it; and their expectations of advantage, sanguine as these anticipa tions are, have reference in a greater degree to the in creased steadiness of the market, and to the vigour which general trade will derive from the removal of restraints upon the exchange of commodities, and agriculture, from the cessation of all artificial influence disturbing the balance of its several pursuits, and from the wholesome stimulus that competition, which in farming pursuits can scarcely become overwrought, rarely fails to impart to industry. " I am unwilling to repeat at length the arguments which I have addressed to your Lordship in my dis patch, No.' 66, of the 18th of May, with respect to the other great subject of the alarm of the Assembly-- namely, the trade in timber. When, however, we revert to the year 1842, it cannot but be acknowledged that this was the case of a trade peculiarly artificial as it stood under the former law. The reduction, though graduated, was decisive ; perhaps in no case has it been more so ; and certainly in no case have more uniform, confident, or sincere prophecies of ruin been hazarded -by the 'opponents of the change. The result is, that the export of timber from British North America to this country attained during the last year to a height which it had never reached under the more protective law. I do not mean that the with drawal of protection was either the exclusive, or even the principal direct cause of this prosperity ; although there cannot be a doubt that many trades have to refer their vigour to the fact, that the absence of artificial support has in their case given free operation to the stimulus necessary for the development of natural and permanent resources. Increased demand in the United Kingdom has, without doubt, been the main and the imme diate cause of increased export of wood from British North America ; but it is the conviction of her Majesty's Government that such increased demand was itself refer able in no small degree to the relaxations of our commer cial law; and therefore, in its due proportion, the growth of the timber trade is truly and justly, even if circuit ously, to be ascribed to that very diminution of protec tion from which its ruin had been anticipated. We are now to look forward with hope to a further increase of the consuming power of this country ; a further en couragement to the use of timber as compared with com peting articles capable of being applied to the same pur poses ;, a further.encouragement to the use of Canadian timber, in combination with the wood of the Baltic, for those objects in regard to which the consumption of the one directly stimulates the consumption of the other. Is it too much to hope that causes so similar may produce like effects ; and that the caution with which Parlia ment has proceeded in the gradual reduction of the timber duties to a moderate standard may be again re warded by the satisfaction with which it will witness a further growth in the wood trade of Canada ? Her Majesty's Government, therefore, cannot, on the part of the Imperial exchequer, share in the fear that increased freedom of trade will have the effect of crip pling the revenues of those important works, which are designed to facilitate the transit of the produce of Canada by the St. Lawrence to the sea. They can by no means subscribe to the opinion, that the comparative dearness of this route is an established fact. And they likewise feel that if they did subscribe to that opinion, although it might corroborate the propriety of the course they have pursued in suggesting to Parliament the interposition of an interval before entire freedom shall be given to the corn trade, it could do no more ; it could not induce them to ask, nor Parliament to grant, nor, they are certain, could it induce the people of Canada to desire, that the market of their farm produce should be maintained by means of a perpetual tax upon the people of England. In referring to the unchecked competition which, so far as British law is concerned, will be established be tween colonial and foreign corn by the repeal of the corn-law, it perhaps may not have occurred to the As sembly that British law alone cannot suffice to establish this competition. The price which the colonial and foreign exporters of corn w ill respect i vely obtain for their grain in Great Britain must always be materially affected by the comparative degrees of facility may be afforded in th e country of the oneofand w the other for the introduction of those British goods by which payment for the corn must substantially be made. British goods are admitted into Canada at very low, into the American Union at very high, import duties. The effect of this is not merely to give to the British exporter a better position in the Canadian market than in that of the United States, but to enable him to give a better price for the commodity he purchases in return, and therefore to give to the corn trade of Canada a corres ponding advantage, so long as the present tariffs con tinue, over that of the United States. With respect to that portion of the address which prays her Majesty to invite the Governm ent of the United States to establish an equality of trade between the dominions of the Republic and the British North American colonies, I am commanded to instruct your l Lordship to assure the Assembly-that her Majesty will readily cause" di rec ti ou s to be given to her Minister at Washington to avail himself of the earliest suitable op portunity to press this important subject on the notice of that Government, and that it will afford her Majesty the most sincere satisfaction if any comniumcation which may hereafter be held for this purpose shall have the effect which is desired by her faithful Commons of _ ... Canada. Her Majesty's Government have, as may be known to the Assembly, on several occasions endeavoured to make arrangements o f tariffs with; and siinil foreign similar powers atttn i fr s the b a have ta mutual ken relax ation place among foreign powers, one with the other, but almost uniformly with ill success. Whatever arguments may be used to show the great increase of benefit that would accrue on both sides if states could have been induced to act simultaneously for this purpose, experience the than wisdomdepends upon pof securing ont h our ulr r has sufficiently shown the difficulty of effect ing th ese com bi ne d operat i ons upon ma tt ers which are properly o f d omes ti c concern , and has suggested n o i w te nt d h efr S e t ei a n tc acA; s ine c np o c continue lettien advantage, alone,u of foregoing it, in th e vei n en d eavour t o rea l ise benefits, larg er indeed, but not within our r e a c h. Should the Government eto rma tabiner which .. tain the scale of import duties now in force upon its frontier, her Majesty's Government willview with regret a policy injurious to Canada: but they l satisfaction on the prevalenc of laws or w e favourablei reflectwith commerce on the Canadian side, and will to anticipate l from those laws both a direct benefit to the trade of the province, and the further advantageowpheicahnad consistent example given by this country and by its colonies will, as they believe, not fail to realise in dis posing foreign states towards the removal of restriction s on trade. With respect to that part of the addresi which relates to the duty of ls. pei quarter, which it is proposed to charge on all wheat imported into England after the re peal of the corn-law, I am to refer your Lordship to my dispatch, No. 56, of the 18th April, on the same sub ject. From the purport of that dispatch it would- of course be even more difficult to recede at a period when the Bill introduced into the House of Commons by the advisers of the Crown has passed through all its stages in that House, and has been affirmed, as to its principle, on the second reading of the House of Lords It is necessary for me here to offer an explanation with regard to an expression of mine, which appears to have give rise to misapprehension. I have stated to your Lordship, in a previous dispatch, that her Majesty's Go vernment desire that the trade of Canada should, in all respects, approach as near to perfect freedom as the dis positions of its inhabitants and the exigencies of the public revenue there may permit ; and from this it is inferred, that the amount of ls. per quarter, which has been adopted for a long period in this country as the standard of a nominal duty upon corn, ought to be re moved. But the language which lemployed had reference to the trade of Canada as affected by laws applicable in her own markets and on her own waters. Indeed, if the alluOon had been to a rigid and perfect equality of trade in the ports and markets of this country, its first and most important bearing would, I apprehend, have been, not upon the nominal duty of ls., which it is pro • posed to retain upon colonial in common with foreign corn, but rather upon the very considerable duties of 15s. • and 18s. respectively, which, as against nominal duties of is. and 2s. on Canadian timber and deals, it is proposed to continue to charge on the corresponding foreign articles. Her Majesty's Government, in the discharge of their duty to the Crown and to the people of this country, and likewise to the empire at large, have not felt them selves to be at liberty to advise her Majesty to pass by the address of her Canadian Assembly with a brief or merely formal answer, although the advanced state at which the deliberations of Parliament have now arrived might have afforded at least a technical justification for such a course. They have thought a more frank and full exposition of their views of this great question in its bearings upon Canada was due to the impor tant body from which the address proceeds, and from which they are well assured may be anticipated the most candid consideration even of arguments opposed to their own. It is due especially on account of the im portance of that body and of the province of Canada i but, even in the case of the smallest portion of her sub jects, I have it in command to say that it would equally have been the deire of her Majesty that such a frank exposition of the policy of her Government should be made. Her Majesty does not recognise the distinction between her nearer and her more remote subjects with reference to a matter so nearly touching her relation to- wards them, and the duties and the sentiments of con sideration and affection which it involves. Nor can she recognise in this view any distinction between the more and the less powerful, particularly at a time when her Parliament is engaged in the discussion of measures which are recommended to its notice, especially upon the ground that they tend to improve e condition of the most numerous and the least opulent classes of her people. It would indeed be a source of the greatest pain to her Majesty's Government, if they could share in the impres sion that the connexion between this country and Canada derived its vitality from no other source than from the exchange of commercial preferences. If it were so, it might appear to be a relation consisting in the ex nflt of frwancan to hut 4. ' - term of its existence. But her Majesty's Govern ment still augur for it a longer duration, founded upon a larger and firmer basis—upon protection ren dered from the one side, and allegiance freely and loyally returned from the other—upon common tra ditions of the past, and hopes of the future,—upon re semblances in origin, in laws and manners,—in what inwardly bind men and communities of men together, as well as in the close association of those material in terests which, as her Majesty's Government are con vinced, are destined not to recede but to advance, not to be severed, but to be more closely and healthfully combined under the quickening influence of increased commercial freedom. I have, &c. W. E. GLADSTONE. The following is a report of the discussion on the sub ject of the address in the Provincial Parliament of Canada : HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, MONDAY, MAY 11. Mr. Robinson moved that an humble address be pre sented to her Majesty, praying that in case any change is made in the law regulating the admission of foreign grain into England, due regard may be had to the inte rests of her subjects in Canada. He stated his intention was to obtain an address to go home by the next mail. His desire was not to impede the action of her Majesty's Government, but to obtain such a protection for Canada as would equalise the freight between Montreal and New York, without which he was afraid that for the next few years Canada would not be able to compete with her At lantic rival. He was aware that resolutions on the sub ject were before the House, from the Hon. Member for Lincoln and the Hon. Member fcr Durham, but their discussion was put off till Thursday, and, consequently, any action on them would be too late for the mail which went on Wednesday. He felt that the House should have moved sooner in this matter • but, for his part, he was of opinion the question would been finally set tled long before this. This, it now appeared, was not the case, from its being retarded by other important bu siness before the Imperial Legislature. He thought, from the general terms of his motion, the sentiments of both sets of resolutions now before the House might be embodied in an address, and passed to-morrow in time for the mail on Wednesday, and trusted no objection would be made to the course he was pursuing, as he could not by any motion now bring the other resolutions before the House before the day named. The motion was carried and referred to a select com mittee, consisting of Messrs. Williams, Baldwin, M'llonald, Kingston, Roblin, and the mover, to report an address. _ _ _ _ TUESDAY, MAY 12. The Committee her Majesty respecting Great Britain reported a draught , and it appoi t n h t e ed ad t m o is PLe n are p of was ordered to be engrossed. An address was then voted to his Excellency, praying him to transmit the said address to her Majesty. Mr. Robinson brought up an address from the Com afenreaicglndre wheatss to and flour into Com mittee named to draught an address on the subject of the contemplated change in the corn-laws. Mr. Moffatt considered that a portion of her Majesty's reply to the address of the 25th of March last, relative to the commercial interest of Canada, applied to the ad dress before the House, and it would be well to recon siderit. from thatnotHedidH think that have would any any effect address orrepre sentations a t home ; the Imperial Parliament had made up its mind as to the course it would adopt in this matter. All that was left to Canada was to avail herself of the small boon granted, and at once to prepare for the change. A debate ensued upon Mr. Baldwin's resolutions re specting the Civil List, but no further mention is made of the memorial, which we are left to imagine was duly agreed to, and, in accordance with Mr. Robinson's wishes, transmitted to Lord Cathcart in time for the sail ing of the packet. Lord Congleton embarked on Wednesd a y morning at Blackwall pier, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship, Sir E. Banks, for Ostend.
