MATTHEW BANKS, of Langton. That :this Meeting, fully persuaded that the apprenticeship system now in operation in the British Colonies, has only changed the name of Slavery, and that the Imperial Act by which that system was introduced, has, notwithstanding the grant of 20,000,000/. entirely failed to accomplish its professed object, as serts the right of the British Parliament to abolish the apprentice ship without delay. And this Meeting, convinced by the examples of Antigua and Bermuda, that Slavery may be at once extin guished, not only without detriment, but with great advantage to the Colonies, and fearing that the Slaves may, under their accu mulated wrongs, in some respects more aggravated than formerly, be goaded into desperation, depretatei , the re-appointment of a Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry as only calculated to defeat the ends of justice, hazard the peace of the Colonies, and prolong the misery of the Negro. And this Meeting records its deliberate conviction that the Negroes are justly entitled to coitmensation for the injuries which they have sustained both previous and subsequent to the Apprenticeship Act.

Out the motion of the Low BAILIFF, seconded by Gronoz EnmoNns, Esq., That Petitions to Parliament, and a Memorial to the Queen, founded on the preceding Resolutions, be adopted by this Meetin ,, , and that the same be signed by the High Bailiff on its behalf ; and that the Right Hon. the Lord Brougham be requested to present the Memorial to the Queen, and also the Petition to the House of Peers, and that the Members for the Borough be requested to pre sent the Petition to the House of Commons. On the motion of the Rev. J. A. JAMZS ; seconded by Captain AloomoNt, R.N. That this Meeting tenders its sincere thanks to those Mis sienaries in the Colonies who, in the midst of difficulty and danger, have stood forth the advocates of immediate and unconditional emancipation, and also to those few Special Magistrates who, sur rounded by strong temptations and exposed to relentless persecu tion, have laboured to maintain the rights of the negro, and to administer the law in the spirit of the British Abolition ♦ct. And this Meeting would express its admiration of the peaceable and for bearing conduct of the negroes under their wrongs and disappoint ments, and would earnestly exhort them to persevere in their praiseworthy course, trusting to the blessing of GOD upon the moral and constitutional means in operation for their speedy deli veranse.

In condeinning the present attempt of the French Ca nadians, and the object which they have in view, we by no means wish to be considered as admiring the course which has hitherto been pursued towards Canada. In fact, those who are best acquainted with Canadian affairs will most readily adm;t that many political blunders, have from first to last been committed, both by the Government and Le gislature of this country, in Canadian matters. But if the Government of this country has not always been guided by absolute wisdom, what the agitators in Lower Canada now demand would, if conceded, be ruinous to both the upper and lower provinces. In the Chronicle of this day appears " A Memorial of the British Ameri can, West Indian, and General Shipping Association of the City of Glasgow," addressed to Lord Gleneig, in which they state, " that they are engaged to a considerable extent, and many of them have em barked capital to a large amount, in the trade be tween this country and Canada, and are consequently deeply interested in the welfare and prosperity of that colony." They declare " that the Executive Government in Lower Canada seems either inade quate or unwilling to exercise its power in a judi cious, firm and efficient manner, and the disaffected party appear determined to leave no means untried for subverting everything constitutional and British in that province." If the country were polled we suspect the general opinion would be that the Government has been rather too indul gent than too harsh in, the steps it has pursued with regard to the agitators in Lower Canada. But however that may be, there seems much good sense in the two concluding pa ragraphs of the memorial : " Your memorialists are firmly persuaded that the principal cause of disunion which exists in the lower province, and to which in great part the present alarming state of affairs is to be attributed, arises from the existence of a municipal system vicious in principle and injurious in operation, whereby the inhabitants of that province are subjected to a code of laws administered in the French language, and governed by rules not recognised by the English Courts—a code which affords no security either to person or property, and which, so long as it is permitted to exist, must ever oppose an insuperable bar rier to that harmony between the two great classes of the community which is the surest guarantee of national prosperity. " Your memorialists would, therefore, respectfully, but earnestly submit this most important subject to the considera tion of your Lordship ; and while they pray that you would be pleased to call the attention of her Majesty's Govern ment to the urgent necessity of immediate, vigorous, and effective measures for quelling the rebellious and mischievous spirit which has been manifested, and restoring tranquillity and security to the colony, they would humbly beg to offer it as their decided opinion, confirmed by the experience of well-informed persons, that the root of the evil cannot be wholly extirpated until the inhabitants of Lower Canada are put on the same footing in regard to the administration of laws with those of the Upper Province." However, the first consideration is to restore tranquillity to the Colony. When order has been restored it will then be necessary to guard against a recurrence of the evil by the adoption of a system better calculated than the present to promote the welfare of the two Provinces. The people of this country must he secured against the possibility of again incurring the expense of putting down revolt, and this security can only be obtained by going to the root of the evil. We must always protest against the attempt to confound the revolt of the French Canadians with the re volt of the old colonies, now the United States. The people of the United States took arms in defence of their dearest rights. They resisted the attempt of the King and Parliament of Great Britain to tax them without their consent. The Canadians have not been so taxed. The House of Assembly of Lower Canada has done what Dr. Franklin, the great apostle of American liberty, conceived no sane body of men could do—refused to appropriate the supplies for several years, and left till the public functiona ries in a state of destitution. When the case was put to Dr. Franklin whether an Assembly having,the power might not refuse the necessary supplies to support its own Go vernment, he unhesitatingly answered that " an Assembly that would refuse them must want common sense, which cannot be supposed." Bat M. Papineau and his par tisans hold common sense in very different regard from that in which it was held by the great American sage and patriot. A very sensible pamphlet on the Canadian differences, under the title of " A few Words on the subject of Canada, by a Barrister," was pub lished by Messrs. Longman, last summer; at a time when the pressure of domestic matters prevented our be stowing that attention to it which it in many respects de serves. The writer examines the claims set up in behalf of the French Canadians by Mr. Roebuck, their ablest advocate in this country, and shows that some of the de mands cannot be granted " while Great Britain affects to hold, with regard to Canada, the relation of a superior and protecting State," while :others would bring ruin on all British settlers in tho two provinces, would lead to all manner of injustice, and would be most detrimental to the best interests even of those, for the sake of whom the de mands are made. For those who wish to see in a short compass a clear statement of the subjects of controversy between the French and British, and between the House of Assembly and the British Government, we would re commend a perusal of the pamphlet in question. One of the demands of the House of Assembly is the repeal of the Ca nada Tenures Act. It is a great pity that the British Go vernment did not long ago sweep away the whole of the feudal tenures of Canada, which are in their operation be yond measure mischievous. The great complaint of the French, before the Revolution, was the oppressiveness of the feudal tenures ; the great complaint of the poor de luded Canadians is, that the feudal tenures were interfered with by the British Parliament ! The effect of the tenures in impeding the improvement of a country may be inferred from an answer given by Mr. M'Gillivray to the Commit tees before whom he was examined in 1828 :—" I attri bute the superior eligibility of land in Upper Canada over land in Lower Canada, to the difference of those Institu tions under which it is held in the two places ; and in cor roboration of which, I would add, that where there is not much difference of climate, where the land is merely di vided by an imaginary line, separating the province of Lower Canada from the States of New York and Vermont, the land in the townships on the Canadian side of the line is in many places scarcely saleable at Is. an acre, and on the other side of the line it is sold at 10s., Ns., and lse Unfortunately for the poor French Canadians, the men who now abuse their confidence are the very men who are most interested in the continuance of these abo minations. The Barrister admits at once " that the enact ing of this statute (the Tenure Act) is an interference with the labours of the provincial legislature. But the introduction of a new system of tenures was of national importance, and during all the years in which the colony had possessed a legislature no single attempt of the sort had been made." And why ? " Circumstances force the mind to one conclusion, and allow it no choice of adopting any other. The gentlemen of Lower Canada, the lords of the soil, the feudal seigneurs of the country, derived at once an income and a porver from the French tenures of land of which they must have been deprived by the change ;" and the poor vassals are the dupes of interested seigneurs and procureurs. It has often been remarked that till the British Parliament, after the Rebellion of 1745, , put an end to heritable jurisdictions, ward holdings, and r sonic of the other more grievous evils of the feudal sys tem, which interposed a power between the Government and the body of the people, that country made no progress in improvement ; and that thenceforward the improvement was miraculous. The great complaint we have to make against the Government is, that it did not go far enough in removing the obstructions to improvement. As to the demand that the grants of land should be set aside, and in particular that the Canada Land Company's Act should be repealed, that demand is at variance with every prin ciple of justice. The King could have granted alone, ac cording to the admitted rules of constitutional law, the charter to the Land Company, of which the House of Assembly complain. The title cannot be worse because, to avoid all question, the Company chose to have the au thority of a statute of the Imperial Parliament, de claring it to be incorporated, and allowing it to purchase lands. The great end and object of the French Canadian agitators, as we have before observed, is to drive the Bri tish from the lower province, to force the inhabitants of the upper province to throw themselves into the arms of the United States, from the obstructions to their commu nication with Europe through the natural channel of the St. Lawrence, and all this in order that a set of interested monopolists may perpetuate their ascendancy over the mi serable French peasants now subject to them. Had Jo nathan been the master, he would have done for them and their monopolies long ago. Too much regard has hitherto been paid to these petty provincial oppressors.—Morning Chronicle. Although there are few statesmen who will now-a-days deny that the essence of all sound policy is justice, we hardly find any that, in the exercise of power, are capable of concessions to popular importunity from a disinterested sense of right. It is equally true that concessions wrung from repugnant power by threats of popular violence are never received with gratitude by those who obtain them, and never cause any lasting dereliction of the turbulence by which they are extorted. Yet that sub mission through weakness, which produces no peace, should be so frequent, while the tribute to justice, which would naturally beget both respect and satisfaction in those who were gainers by it, should be so rare, is a humiliating circumstance for the readers of history and the speculators on civil government. Ireland is an in stance of the bad results of concessions granted from vicious, or rather from despicable, motives—through the whole series of relaxations in our state policy against Roman Catholics, tardily, reluctantly, and therefore thank lessly and ineffectually, surrendered to menaces of-phy sical force. Everything given up by England to the pe remptory demands of the Irish gentry in 1782, and to the seditious clamours of the Papists afterwards, had been with held until the Minister who executed each succeeding con cession apologized for it to his friends by the assurance that he could resist no longer. The consequence was, and has been to this hour, that each step gained through vio lence became a footing whereon to plant the machinery of further violence, whereby fresh encroachments might be made securely and infallibly upon a power which showed that it had no principle of action but stubbornness when strong, and flight when feeble. This subject is recurred to for the sake of diverting the minds of public men from the question by which they have hitherto been almost ex clusively engrossed—viz., are we able to refuse this or that boon to this or that portion of the people ? and of directing them to another and far more elevated inquiry —via., what solid advantage not hitherto enjoyed by them can we justly bestow upon any portion of the people ? Had the Irish penal laws been abolished, and the priesthood provided for, at the period of the Union, when Mr. Pitt proposed it, or immediately on the peace of 1815, when the British Government was all powerful to raise up or to put down, it is morally impossible that any demagogue or democrat spirit should afterwards have been ingrafted on Irish Popery, or that such men as Mr. Daniel O'Con nell should have extracted a livelihood from unlawful and treasonable callings. But if the refusal of justice, through a consciousness of strength, be a criminal proceeding in any State, a surrender to violence, whether armed or un armed, is an error not less deplorable or fatal, because it at once recognizes within the monarchy a power above, be yond, and more irresistible than that of the monarchy itself. Rebellious meetings and rebellious language ought no more to be capitulated with than regimented rebels in the open field attacking the Queen's troops with rifles. Had Papi neau, the practised speaker of sedition, been fined and im prisoned three or four years, or even six months, ago— Papineau, the rebel and traitor, need not now have been proclaimed in the Gazette, and 1,0001. promised by her Ma jesty's Government for his capture. But the man was pam pered in his insolence. He was encouraged and seduced by the deceitful no less than profligate blandishments, flatteries, and slavish servilities of the Gosford mission, and all but bribed into the declaration of a civil war against Great Britain. We have said in a former article that the prin cipal demands made upon Great Britain by this Papineau and his auxiliaries would, if yielded, have been equivalent to a complete overthrow of the British dominion, as that of the parent state over her dependent colony. One item in those demands was, that the Legislative Council, or Upper Chamber of the Canadian Parliament, should, like that assembly of which Papineau was chosen Speaker (and of which he has, in fact, been dictator), be elected by the suffrage—nearly universal—of the same constituency. Another modest and becoming demand was, that the Le gislative Assembly, alias M. Papineau, should have the nomination of the Governor's Cabinet Ministers ! And the refusal of this was one of the main grievances adduced by our political tinker, Mr. Joseph Hume, to illustrate his classic phrase of the " baleful domination of the mother country." Now, we do not appeal to block heads like this Hume, but we do appeal willingly to the rest of the British nation, whether, if the Upper Chamber were to be elected by the same rabble consti tuency as the Lower, and if a Papineau faction were to have the power of naming Privy Councillors to the Governor of the province, who would make a merit of not obeying the orders issued from the Queen's Government in Downing street—whether in either of such cases, much more in both, Canada would not, in truth and reality, be a republic—ab solutely independent of the British Crown ? and whether, therefore, the acquiescence of the Queen's Ministers in such demands would not be a total sacrifice of the pro vince, and, pro tanto, a dismemberment of the British em pire ? The war, therefore, into which the Papineau fac tion have run headlong is an iniquitous and depraved ag gression upon the sovereign rights of this country, acknow ledged by the whole eililized world ; and the legitimate, and we trust the certain, termination of such war will be, as it ought to be, followed, if not by " indemnity for the past," at all events by " security for the future."—Tinres. As in the moral and social, so in the political world, there is hardly any circumstance so wholly unfortunate as not to be also the medium or the instrument of some good. If it gives no other advantage, it is at least a lesson—if it do not point out the way to the obtainment of a benefit, it shows how sonie other calamity should be guarded against and evaded. With respect to the news from Canada, which is indeed lamentable—for of all horrors what can be so dreadful as civil war ?—yet the intelligence of these events, and the notice taken of them in this country, may be, and probably will be, in some points, of use to the community. But for what has occurred at a distance, and the fierce joy of approbation with which some Radicals have, dwelt upon it in the House of Commons, many of the public would not have believed the extent of hostility to the British Monarchy by which certain violent politicians are actuated. Until it became evident by the speeches of the friends of the American malcontents is the House of Commons, the public generally would not have deemed it possible that men in the position of Members of that House would venture to express something even stronger than common sympathy with those who were notoriously in arms against the British Crown, to which they owe al legiance. We have been so much accustomed in Great Britain to free, and even fierce disputation, upon political questions, without any idea that either wavered in the essential principles of loyalty, that no danger has been dreamed of beyond vihat might be involved in the ascen dancy of this party or of that. But those who are not wil fully blind must now see that there is a greater danger— that the passion for organic change has votaries in this country ready to applaud the very utmost length to which revolution can be carried', and, therefore, very likely to practise what they applaud, if an opportunity were to offer. This being evident, it becomes equally so that good sub jects who feel allegiance to be a principle which they are bound both to support and to enforce, it necessary, as well as prudent men who desire to live in peace, and to enjoy their property in security, should look about them, and do their utmost, to inflict " a heavy blow and a great discourage ment" upon the spirit of the movement, and upon the men who, either through carelessness, through cupidity, or through essential disloyalty, give their aid to the promotion of that spirit. But, in addition to the warning against the possible extent of the extravagance of radicalism at home to be derived from a consideration of the way in which the intelligence of Canadian treason has been received, there is another, and a very important lesson to be gathered concerning the conduct of the present Go vernment. No doubt the general impression of the incompetency of the present Ministers for the discharge of 'their high duties was very strong in England before the receipt of the news from Canada. The result of the ge neral election in August showed that even then, and in spite of every circumstance likely to set asleep the vigi lance of the people, and thus to operate favourably for the Administration, the electors of England did not place confi dence in the Government. But it required the news from Canada, and the consideration of the remissness of the Go verument both before and since the knowledge of actual rebellion in that province, to satisfy, and most impressively, to convince the people of England that there is no real safety for the Crown or the country under the management of the present Ministers. There is not, perhaps, in the whole history of British Government, any instance of such trifling, such timidity, and such moral powerlessness, as that afforded by the present advisers of the Crown with respect to the affairs of Canada. News arrives that one of the principal colonial provinces of Great Britain is in open re volt ; the public naturally expect that Government on its own responsibility, or with the consent of Parliament, im mediately deal with this rebellion so as to succour British subjects abroad and to satisfy those at home. But what do they hear? Why, simply this—that Ministers hope that nothing very serious will arise out of Canadian rebel lion, but do not wish to speak confidently ; and that this being the time for Christmas holidays, Parliament will adjourn for four weeks, retrenching two weeks from the intended recreation, in consideration that Canada is in open rebellion. This is literally the history of Ministerial conduct upon this occasion, and we appeal to the common sense of the nation whether anything more feeble or more ridiculous upon such an occassion could have hap pened, or could have been imagined. There has not been the slightest hint that Government would do any thing of itself, and the Parliament has separated for four weeks. The rebellion in Canada is left to adjust itself. We think this stroke of policy will be sufficient to convince many, Who before only suspected the present Ministers of being very unfit for the Jes tlielhold. We may set this good in the opposite balance to the positive evil of colonial revolt.—alforning .Herald. There is one sentence in a long article published by the Timer yesterday which should not be allowed to pass un noticed. The passage we allude to is—" The point which demands the instant attention of Englishmen is the prepara tion of the United States for war unquestionably—with this country." Now we submit that this is not a justifiable in ference from any part of the American President's Speech, and our Contemporary is exceedingly wrong in endeavour ing a bad understantng between England and the United States, to promote, by giving such a forced interpretation to his language. We believe, on the contrary, that the object of America is peace, and that both the Government and the people are too well aware of the blessings of peace to seek for a quarrel with this county. There is too great a commercial interest at stake to allow it lightly to be trifled with, and some more solid cause of difference be tween both nations than that of the unsettled boundary must be found out to justify hostilities. The President says, " That the interests of Eilgland and America im peratively require that the question of the boundary should be put at rest" Surely there is nothing unreasonable in this language. Every man of common sense admits that the boundary line has remained too long undetermined, and the President deserves the commendation of all reasonable per sons for pushing it to a settlement. The manner in which the suggestion was referred to the arbitration of the King of Holland has led both countries into a dilemma, from which it is difficult to escape. The object in dispute was not explained with sufficient clearness to the umpire, and instead :of determining upon either of the two bound a ry lines actually submitted for his choice, the King of Hol land adopted the common error of arbitration, and fixed a middle line, with the hope of satisfying both parties. The award was clearly illegal, and no one can blame the Go vernment of the United States for refusing to accept it. But it is not because the President enforces upon Congress the necessity of having the limits of the country fixed on that particular frontier that he is to he charged with using expressions hostile to Great Britain. He says, and he says truly, that no nation can suffer its frontier to remain unde fined, and he complains, with great justice, that since 1783 no decision has been made satisfactory to the Union ; but it is not because the President delivers these truisms in his Message that he is to be supposed to be actuated by an hos tile feeling to this country. We are glad that the Presi dent has expressed himself in a decided manner, because it will probably lead to the question being taken up more resolutely by both Governments. We shall feel more than ever the necessity of having our Canadian frontier set at rest, and the United States will be rejoiced to have the line so clearly settled that no dispute shall arise on the part of one of its States contiguous to the scene of a civil war. The Times next alludes to the increase of the military and naval force of the Union, and considers that it is the com mencement of hostile preparations against this country. But surely this is an overstraining of the fact. The Presi dent recommends that the militia should be enlarged, and that the navy of the State should be more commensurate with the extent and importance of its commerce. Is there any thing unreasonable in either? A country daily growing in population, wealth, and luxury, must feel that the crimes advance in the same proportion, and that the arm of thelaw must be strengthened where it can. And surely we cannot be surprised if a nation like America, whose trade is inferior only to that of Great Britain, increases its naval resources to a corresp, nding strength. No ; neither the boundary line, nor the enlistment of the militia, nor the building of a few ships of war will produce a quarrel between Great Britain and the United States. Their friendship is based on the solid ground of mutual interest, and it is not in the power of the newspaper press of either country to disturb it. —Morning Post. "My voice is still for war." The Time:, it would seem, has determined that there shall at all hazards be a war between this country and the United States. It yes terday recurs to the subject, and, in two and a half mortal columns, expends a world of excellent indignation on the course of foreign policy pursued by our Government, on the question of the boundary line between the territory of the United States and our American Colonies. Our con temporary waxes infinitely more angry and assumes a much more threatening aspect on the subject, than does the Pre sident himself in his Message to the Congress, though the whole of its philippic against Government is avow edly grounded on that Message. A more martial andi unnational article has never come under our notice. IV ere the American President's speech as redolent of powder and shot as the leader of our contemporary, then, indeed, we would have cause to apprehend the breaking out of hostilities between the two countries. Happily the case is the reverse. There is nothing in Mr. Van Buren's speech indicative of other than a pacific disposition and friendly feeling towards Great Britain. Beyond the expression of his desire to see a speedy adjustment of the differences between the United States and this country, on the question of the boundary line, there is not a syllable, which even party ingennity itself could construe into a proof that he wishes or intends to disturb the amicable relations which now subsist between the two countries. The passage which has so seriously frightened the Times is this qb u : o i:r boundary atTrhyi that l e i nt ei h i ;ass should brought questionb about e (pt (the a condition of affairs in which the true interests of both. o ve f ly the re question,countries to rest." We cannot see anything so awfully warlike in this. The passage might have been just as well given in the speech of our Queen, as in that of the President of the United States. And if it had, would that have jus tified the citizens of the United States in leaping, to the conclusion, that we were about to make a hostile demonstra tion against them ? We have too high an opinion of our Transatlantic brethren to suppose that they could ever have adopted so ridiculous a notion. Lord Palmerston, in the name of the Government and the country, will, we doubt not, at once respond to this part of the President's speech, and say that it is highly desirable that the differences between the two countries should be amicably settled, andi with the least loss of time. That, we know, is the wish of the Ministry, and it is not the fault of this country that those differences were not adjusted long ago. What better proof of a desire to set the disputed point a rest could we have afforded than we did a few year 8 since, when, on the d ec i s i on o f th e Ki ng o f H o ll an d to whom the matter, with the concurrence of both' countries, was referred, being given, we expressed our will ingness to adhere to it ? It was the United States, and not this country, that demurred to the award of the Dutch Kin , ; and to it, therefore, and not to Great- Britain, at taches' the responsibility—if responsibility there be—of the disputed boundary line not having been strictly defined years ago. Tho Times, not content with conjuring up one bugbear wherewith to frighten itself and its readers, forthwith proceeds to treat us to another. The President expresses a hope that a friendly intercourse will be con tinued between the United States and France. Our quick-sighted contemporary discerns in this a league+ between those two countries in some hostile purposes; towards Great Britain. This is really trifling with the understanding of its readers. 'What more natural, or what more proper, on the part of the United States, which had lately a serious quarrel with France, than to ex press a hope, now that that quarrel has been amicably put an end to—that the friendly understanding which has been brought about should be perpetuated ? As to the idea of Louis Philippe engaging in any hostile project against Great Britain, it is purely childish. Why, the Citizen King would not at present go to war with the most insignificant power in Europe, far less give umbrage to this country. lie knows too well the slender foundation On which his.
