MACKENZIE presented two petitions from places iu Scotland against the abolition of university tests. Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition complaining of condu ct Commissioners the o/d of W ther Committee. Mr. LOCKHART presented a petition from the General t e General Assembly of the Church of Scotland against the grant to Maynooth. Several petitions to the same effect were presentedby other Hon. Members. Sir J. Y. BULLER presented a petition in favour of an ocean penny postage. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. On the order of the day being read for resuming the adjourned debate on the College of Maynooth, Mr. FRESHFIELD said it had been contended that the proposition of his Lion. Friend Mr. Spooner was an useless one. because nothing definite could be done upon it, but he thought that was a very bard and unjust ob• jection at this late period of the day, for his Hon. Friend had given notice of his motion as early as the 3d of February, and those who now opposed him were chiefly instrumental in causing the delay that had taken place before the question was brought before the House. It was impossible to say that an inquiry could, not be pro perly conducted in the present session, the termi nation of which was at present quite uncertain. They were charged with creating a religious cry throughout the country in bringing forward the subject, but what was more likely to produce a general cry of dissatisfaction among the 100,000 persons who had peti- tioned against the grant to Maynooth than to refuse, an inquiry into the system of education pursued at that establishment? It was admitted on all aides that there ought, and must be, an inquiry; and under those cir cumstances he saw no reason why the motion of his Honourable Friend should not bo agreed to. He did not complain of tho existence of Roman Catholics in the kingdom, nor that they were taught according to their own tenets; for a epiiit of persecution was furthest from his intention, but he said that the conscientious and honest doubts of the 100,000 who had petitioned the House ought to be satisfied, and that they should be shown that the grant which was made permanent in 1845 was not improperly and mischievously applied.—(Hear.) He saw no objection to the inquiry being conducted by a Royal Commission, if the Government were disposed to accede to the adoption of such a course. Mr. HERBERT said it was his intention to vote both against the motion and the amendment. Ile thought if tlle Hon. Member (Mr. Spooner) really desired a fair and legitimate inquiry, he would best show his sincerity by withdrawing his motion and availing himself of the suggestion of the Hon. Member who had just addressed the House. There were at present 8 visitors, 3of which were appointed by the College of Maynootb, and 5 by her Majesty, who were bound to visit. the College every 12 months, and to inquire into its management and discipline, and the Lord-Lieutenant had power to require an additional visitation, and he considered it was absurd f or a pr i vate Member to attempt to super sede a tribunal of this nature which had been constituted by Parliament. If that tribunal were incompetent, and did not properly discharge its functions, the Government ought on its own responsibility to propnse the substitu tion of another tribunal, and not to follow in the wake of the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire.—(Hear.) Sir W. VERNER considered that as Maynooth was intended for the education of young men.

HOUSE OF LORDS: The LORD CHANCELLOR took Ma seat on the Woolsack at Fivo o'clock. The Militia Bill was read a first time. The Kennington Common Improvement Bill was read a second time. LONDON NECROPOLIS AND MAUSOLEUM BILL. Lord REDESDALE moved the second reading of this Bill. The Earl of SHAF TESBURY opposed the Bill, as being impracticable in its provisions. The Bishop of LONDON also opposed the Bill. After a short conversation the Bill was read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from certain copyholders in Cumberland against the Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Corrupt Practises at Elections Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. On the motion of Lord COLCHESTER the Registra tion of Births, Deaths, and Marriages Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Lord COLCHESTER the Public Works Bill was read a second time. On the motion of the Earl of MINTO the Law of Evidence (Scotland) Bill passed through Committee. On the motion of the Earl of HARROWBY the In dustrial and Provident Societies Bill was read a second time. SURRENDER OF CRIMINALS (CONVENTION WITH FRANCE) BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY moved the second read ing of this Bill, which he explained was intended to place France on a footing of equality with England with reference to the mutual surrender of criminals. By the convention of 1843 between the two countries, this country obtained the right to claim the surrender of certain criminals who took refuge in France; while, on the contrary, by the imperfect state of our law, Franco was not able to claim criminals who had fi2d hither from that country. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he was afraid that the Noble Earl opposite was not sufficiently aware of the difficulties of the subject which he had taken in hand; which, indeed, were so great that ever s i nce the peace of 1815 the two Courts had been in constant communication for the purpose of concluding a convention of this sort, and in 1843, for the first time, he (Lord Aberdeen) had for the first, time concluded a treaty with Franco for the surrender of criminals charged with murder, forgery, and frudulent bank ruptcy. (LEFT SPEARING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were considered and agreed to: — London Gas-Light Company (Amendment of Acts, &c.) (No. 2). Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (No. 1). ?onrush Harbour. The following Bills were read a third time and passed : Watson's Hospital (Edinburgh) Estate. Wirkeworth Mining Customs and Mineral Courts Bill. South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company (Sale or Lease, &e.) The following Bil?s were considered and agreed to:— Cambridge to Ely and other Roads. Chelsea Wat(rwork3. NPw River Company (to Improve the Supply of Water, &e.) who were designed for the Roman Catholic priesthood, they had a right to know the system of in struction given, and to what section of the Roman Ca tholics they professed to belong; for all who had tra velled in foreign countries knew there were two descrip tions of Catholics —one who taught that the Popo had no right or authority to interfere with the prerogative of the Sovereign, the other that a Sovereign had no right to expect allegiance or obedience from Roman Catho lic subjects, unless with the acquiescence of the Pope, who was a higher power. Now, he should like to know under which of these classes May nooth was to be. placed. He was given to understand that the rankest intolerance was taught at the College, which even went so far as to say that heresy ought to be punished with death. The Honourable Member then proceeded to complain of the persecution of Roman Catholics, and stated that he had received a letter from a person who said he had been denounced from the pul pit because he refused to yield to a demand for the loan or gift of a sum of money to enable a man to obtain a house on another person ' s property.—(Cries of Name-) He was not prepared to subject the writer to the hand of the assassin.—(" Oh!" from the Irish Members ) Mr. MAGAN was understood to say that the state ment was uutrue.—(Cries of " Order," and " Retract.") The SPEAKER said, as the Hon. Member had not given the Lame of the writer, it was not in ord e r f or an y other Hon. Memb er to say the statement was untrue. The Hon. Member must therefore retract the insinuation. Mr. MAGAN said be was ready to do so in a Parlia mentary sense. —(Laughter,) Sir W. VERNER concluded by rebutting the accusa tion, as to the proposed inquiry being a sham and delusion, observing that the object of its promoters 'was to attend to the interests of Protestants, and to see that a grant given for one purpose was not improperly applied to another. Mr. V. SCULLy said it was quite clear that those who supported the motion were not sincere in their alleged desire for an inquiry —in fact, they had them selves avowed their insincerity. This was merely d t a step to the abolishment o f M aynoot h alto gether, which they were prepared to eff ec t without the slightest inquiry. Th e y w i s h e d to h ave a kind of in quisition to upset th e grant, an d t h at would lead to the d estruction of the Coll ege . He agreed in thinking that th e proposal for inquiry was a mere sham, (a f for a r eo i n f rc i . e n q ti hear.\er u inry was heearpnoewstelrys weixshereedisefodr,byittchoeuvldisibtoersh.—ad e He had no objection to inquiry, bat he complained that a Select Committee was, as the Noble Lord (Lordl Johns Russell) had stated, the very worst tribunal to conduct it. He denied that the people of England called for inquiry, but even supposing they did, why should the Hon. Member for North Warwick shire not adopt the suggestion, that it should take place between this and the next session of Parliament, either by Royal Commission or by the visitors, who had the power of conducting the strictest investigation upon suOathn ? He objected t o an i nquiry of an in ltig character, such as that proposed, which it was notorious was intended as an electioneering clap trap. As to the miserable grant itself, he was prepared to contend that the people of Ireland were entitled to it on every ground of justice and good faith. The Church Establishment of Ireland cost this country directly about 3,000,0001, per annum. There. were 600,000 Protestants in Ireland, so that the religious in struction of each Irish Protestant cost 51. a head, while, by dividing the Maynooth grant among the Roman Ca tholic population; he found that each of them received one penny ; so th a t eac h P rotestant received just as much as 1,200 Catholics; the Protestant got 3d. per day for his religious instruction, while the same sum had to Bereft each Catholic for three years and a half. The dicre- Pancy between the numbers of Catholics and Protestants in Ireland, and the relative value of the endowments of the two churches, had struck every person who knew anything of Ireland. Both foreign travellers and the great statesmen of this country had remarked on this enem a s-, and rant, in of it as the great evil of Ire land. This grant, in fact, was nothing more than a re stitution of the property which had been robbed from the Roman Catholic Church, and from the Roman Catholic laity, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and under the protectorate of Cromwell, and also under William 111. The spellings of these monarchs were the origin of the poverty of the Roman Catholic Population of Ireland. What Ireland wanted was fair Play. They merely wanted to bo allowed to enter the lists, to have a fair start. Why, but the other day, see what Irish horses, Daniel O'Roure and Barbarian, bad do ne — (Laughter) —when they had a fair start. Much had been asserted about ultramontanism in Ireland, but he asserted that there was nothing of the sort in Ire land. The Honourable Member then proceeded at great length to detail the history of the penal laws, tracing their first imposition and their gradual relaxa tion, up to the time when the College of Maynooth was founded. That step had the sanction of many great names, and it was always considered in the light of a compact. In 1800 the state of Maynooth was inquired into by Lord Castlereagh, ono of whose ohief auvisers was the Protestant Bishop of Meath, formerly a Ro man Catholic, and well acquainted with the rites and practices of the Church, and the advice which he gave was not to leave the supply of the Roman Catholic priest hood in Ireland to foreign colleges, but to do their best to provide them with education at home. The same authority deprecated an interference with the college of Maynooth. This was, however, not the first time that this agitation had been raised against this establish ment, it had been raised before in 1800, and afterwards in 1826. W. M. THACKERIY, ESQ., AUTHOR OF " PANDENNIS," The New York Tribune says—" S'y e are glad to help ' ourselves and our readers to a little knowledge of Mr. ThaOteray, who is expected to visit the United States this year. Ile was barn in Calcutta in the year 1811, and is now consequently 41 years old. His father was a high official of the East India Company, which se cured him the entrée of the best society, and a large income. Our author was born a gentleman.' lie went to school in England—experieeced all the tyranny of a brutal master, and the misery of fagging. He left school for the University of Cambridge, where ho studied with Kinglake, the author of Eothen'—Eltot Warburton, who wrote the ' Crescent and the Cross,' and was lost with the Amazon—and Richard illonckton Manes. Meanwhi'e the elder Thackeray died, and the future historian of Vanity Fair' launched himself into its midst with an annual income of about a thousand pounds. He lived according to his whims, drew sharp and clever caricatures, smoked, lounged, feasted upon books of every kind, and opened the oyster of the world at leisure. His mother, a woman of great beauty, and full of talent and tenderness, whose memory is so filially embalmed in the character of the mother of Arthur Pendennis,' married again about this time, and the young man, always the object of the proudest maternal love, came into possession of his paternal inheritance. Ho immediately returned from the Continent, where he had been staying a little time, and took up his residence in the Temple. Here Thackeray entered himself as a student of jurisprudence, and in the character of ' War • rington,' in 'Peadennis,' he has developed the career of the students, and the varied life of the Temple, in some of the best passages he has ever written. Henry Taylor, fhe dramatist, author of Philip Van Artevelde,' is among the residents of the Temple, and is mentioned by the German commentator as the original of a character in Thackeray's romance. We are at a loss to determine which; for if Warrington' be so intended, he seems to ns to lose the point. Warrington' is a man of power without a career—Taylor a man of talent, who has certainly achieved a reputation quite equal to his just claims. However, the Templet not only furnished our author characters, but also the necessity of drawing them; for while there, and when scarcely more than twenty-three years old, the young man had ' fooled away his property, and was poor. The days of loung ing were evidently ending, and he betook himself to Paris, conceiving, from his facility in sketching, that he was born for an artist. A brief time among the Parisian ateliers sufficed to remove this idea. But as his step father at this period established a journal in London, called the Constitutional, the artist naturally became the Paris correspondent. Thus, like Dickens, he com menced his literary career as a journalist. In Paris, Thackeray met his present w if e , an Irish lady of . goad family, and married her. F r o m t his time d a t es his first purely literary effort, the Yellowplush after wardsPapers,'ui c b tendency lished isclearly as jm Pa ra ct er i s p t Constitutional absorbed mo s t of his property, of cours e , and failed.

THE CASE OF EDWARD MURRAY.-ROME, 3.1.4.1 f 31.—Up to the 29th inst. no permission has been granted to Mr. Moore, her Britannic Majesty's consul at Ancona, to visit Edward Murray. A special courier arrived at Ancona by steamer from Trieste on the morning of the 26th, bring ing instructions from her Majesty's Government to Mr. Moore, which had been forwarded by electric telegraph to the British vice -consul at Trieste. It is inferred he will have to act energetically. LORD STANLEY.—The Premier's son, Lord Stan ley, has made his first appearance in the House as Foreign Under-Secretary. In manners and appearance the Noble Lord has a strong resemblance to Lord Derby, and he culti vates, whether intentionally or otherwise, the same style of speaking.

On the motion of the Earl of MINTO, the report on this Bill, with amendments, was received and agreed to. The Earl of ELLESMERE presented a petition from the inhabitants of Manchester on the subject of the present system of poor-relief, and praying for the in. troduction of a system of productive labour for paupers. The petition referred to a subject of great magnitude and importance, and he wished to call the attention of the House and the Government to the fact that the desire expressed in the petition was largely entertained by the country. He did not wish, however, to be considered us supporting the views of the petitioners. Lord MONTEAGLE said the question was very po pular with those who only viewed one side of tho sub ject. He objected to turning the poor-law unions into a sort of manufactories, as unjust to the honest, industri ous, and self-supporting labourers, who by such a system would be exposed to unjust competition with persons who must at any rate be supported. The partial adoption of the system had depreciated the wages of labour in this great metropolis to a very great and unnatural extent. After a few words from the Earl of DONOUGH MORE, which were inaudible in the gallery, The petition was ordered to he on the table. THE PROPOSED HALIFAX AND QUEBEC RAILWAY. _ _ _ surprise the letter refet red to by the Noble Earl, dated Ist of May, from Mr. Hincks. That gond, men csm planted that the deputation had been kept waiting fur about seven weeks without being able to get any definite answer on the subject on which they were in attendant's, and said that it would be impo , sible for them to make much longer -delay. Mr. Hincks had arrived in this country on the 15th or 16th of March; he had frequeat interviews with the head of the Colonial Drperiment (Sir J. Pakingt n); but Mr. Challoner, the representa tive of New Brunswick, had not then arrived, and Mr. Howes had not yet arrived. Mr. Challoner did not arrive till about the 15th of April; and on the 20:h either he or Mr. Hineks had an interview with Lord Colchester at the Colonial. office. • That Noble Lorde being newly in office, had not bad his at tention previottsly called to the . miner, Between the 20th and 26th he (Lord Derby) received a letter from Mr. Hineks stating what had passed at the Colonial : office, and requesting an early interview; and this was thehmemoraistium he had made for his private secretary,: —" Give hini an early appointment, the matter is one of very great importance; but I should wish, if possible, to see together with Mr. Hincks the representatives on this matter of New Brunswick and Neva Scotia." He and Sir J. Pakington saw Mr. Hineks and Mr. Claalloner on the 30th of April. He then learnt for the first time that the Legislatures of the different provinces had passed Bills in favour of this scheme; those Bills had not been received by the Colonial department, and hed only beeti in possession of the deputation twenty -fern' .hours. He also learnt for the first time that the inten tion was to deviate very considerably from a line which it was most desirable should be taken; and the deviation was to such an extent, that though literally an d realty it was within British territory, it might just as well hare been on United States territory, for any desirable purpose that it would fulfil. Sir J. Pakington etated.in very strong terms, his disappointment at the line vary ing so much from that of Major Robinson, and that that must weigh very mat er i a lly in any decision of the Government. He was, therefore, a little sur prised, having stated to Mr. Hincks and Mr. Challoner that the whole subject should be brought immediately under the consideration of the Government, that' he himself would explain the papers and communicate them to his colleagues, and that they would take the' earliest possible opportunity of signifying their decision —this having taken place on the 30,1 of April—'ato find the letter the Noble Earl had adverted to in the papers dated on the following morning. Ia that letter Mr. Hincks said—"ln the interview we had yesterday we were given to understand by his Lordship that be would examine the various papers on the subject of the rail way, and would see us again after the arrival of Mr. Howes from Nova Scotia, I left his Lordship in the Confi dent hope that we should receive an early communication of the intentions of her Majesty's Government." Such was certainly his intention; but Mr. Blacks having had an interview with him at three o'clock on Thursday, the 30th of April, ho could hardly suppose the GoYernment would be able to give him an intimation of their inten tion before the following morning, when that letter was written.—(Hear, hear.) • He added, tlat from what had passed in the House of Commons on the same evening, he felt it his duty to the province, whose interests were intrusted to his care, to explain frankly to the Govern ment that it would be quite impossible for Canada to Continue any longer a negotiation which had alieady in volved her in much trouble, and which would materially retard other arrangements that might be made for the construction of the railway. After this, ho would ask their Lordships candidly on which side was the obstruc tion —on the part of the representatives of Canada or on the , part of the Geiernment. He (Mr. Hineks) went on to say that he had sot been sent to England as an humble suitor, and he most respect fully requested a final answer by the 15th inst., when, if the Government were unable, tither from want of time, or the necessity of consulting Parliament, to come to a decision by that period, he begged it to be under , stood 'that Canada withdrew from the preent negotia tion, and he should deem it his duty to enter into ar rangements which would put it out of the power of the provinces to negotiate 'on the . present basis. He (Lord Derby) had every respect for the representatives of Ca nada, New Brunswick, - and Nova Scotia; but when a plan was laid before the Government involving an ex penditure of seven millions, which they were asked to guarantee, it was somewhat too much for a gentleman to use the terms contained in that letter, and say that Canada 'would withdraw from an arrangethent from which it and the British prOvinces were to derive the greatest benefit.—(Elear, hear.) Though a little sur prised at the tone of this letter, he (Lord Derby) bad not deferred executing 'the promise he had wed° to Mr. Hincks. He had brought the matter before a Cabinet Counoil, at Which ht was fully and deliberately discussed; and it was • with great regret they had come to the conclusion that it was not to the advan vantage of the provinces that they should sanction the proposed line, inasmuch as it forfeited the very main ad- Vantages which led them in the first instance to be anxi ous for its promotion. That communication was made to Mr. Hincks about the 16th or 17th of the same mouth. Sir J. Pakington had considered it the most respectful course to write his dispatches first to the governors of the colonies, and then to communicate them to the repre sentatives of the colonies in this country. In the mean time, on the 13th, he (Lord Derby) had received an ap plication from another society, who were desirous of en grafting a scheme of em i grat i on on the general 'scheme of the railway known to be in contemplation by the Go vernment; and on the 15th be gave an answer, that from recent'communications great doubts had arisen whether the negotiations pending between the Government and the colonial legislatures were likely to lead to the con struction of the railway in question; audit appeared that the colonial deputies had first learned from the secretary to this society that the plan was not approved by the Government. As far as personal respect was concerned, nothing could have been more cordial and attentive than Sir J. Pakington's treatment of these gentlemen. He received them at his own house; gave them- invitations to her Majesty's ball, invited them to dinner, and con stantly saw them on the same terms as the Secretary of State would have received any Ministers accredited from foreign powers. As to the substance of the negociation, he would say that the Government bad been most &mil ieus to see it carried out; and he had been active' in pressing it on the late Government. But he thought a hatter course than giving a guarantee would have been to make a grant of the waste lands through which the line passed. Ho meant not to say that the guarantee would not have been redeemed by the provinces, though the contribution might have pressed very hard on the province of New Brunswick. Nevertheless, he had been quite Willing to leave the construction of the line to the colonial Legislatures, giving the desired guarantee, pro= vided it was so constructed as to secure those advantages which were promised from it. The Noble Earl admitted that it was a' sine qua non that the line should' be car ried through British territory. It was not a slight de viation that was now proposed. Bat the great object was in connection with the scheme of emigration, to have opened up a large tract of country in New Brunswick available for emigrants ; but this had been leit sight of. (Here the Noble Earl described the course of the' line, as originally proposed, and the deviations, which could only be understood by reference to a plan.) Major Ro binson's line, he observed, had always .been tak e n a i t h e basis of a negotiation ; but the proposed line, instead of making the circuit of the northern and eastern coast, made two tight angles, passed by St. John's, and was carried further to the west. It was true that by this schema there would be a less length of railway to be constructed ; but Major Robinson's line would net involve . a greater distance between Halifax and Quebec. The line by St. John's might offer greater commercial advantages, but it abandoned the scheme of Opening up New Brunswick t o em i grants , e Th e ' St. John's line, for nearly its whole length, ran within a few miles of the United States territory, and there 'was no security that it would 'not -pass on the) United States side of the St. John's. River. Such 'a rail way, in an open undefended country,'. would not differ in the least, in th e event o f war, from a railway carri e d' through the United States territory.—(Hear, hear.) It tended far more to opea up the United States than the British territory; and in some parts it was cut off by the rapid torrent of the St. John's River from communica tion with the British territory. Under these circum stances the Government did not thiok the project one which so carried out imperial objects as to justify thein in giving a guarantee for the proposed expenditure by the colonial legislatures.—(Hear.) To have undertaken such a liability without consulting Parliament would have been highly improper, and he doubted whether Par liament would have sanctioned it. However much he might prefer the plan of granting waste' lands, ho would not havo hesitated to recommend a guarantee had the lino been such as to secure those other and more im portant objects to which he had referred. Oh these grounds the Government had thought it their duty to inform the governors of the provinces that they were compelled, with regret, to refuse the guarantee, believing that the line did not promote really and truly British objects. The Government had nothing to conceal, and there_would be no opposition to the production of the papers.—(Hear, hear.) • Earl GREY said he had not meant to' bring any charge against the Government for the abandonment of the project. After what the Noble Lord' had said, he would add a few words to the negotiation. Having formerly had much communication with Mr. Hincks, he bad always found hi m frank and straightforward' in all his dealings; and it was to be regretted thatawo persona of such weight and station in the province as. Mr. Hincks and Mr. Challoner should have learned the decision of the Government from a subordinate officer. It wart only a short time since the Emigration Commis sioners bad thought it necessary to put an advertisement into the pap ers , cau ti on i ng the public not to listen schemes put, forth 'shy this person without adequate to ready. authority ; but be (the N o bl e . Earl) was quite to admit that the manner in which the decision of the Government had been communica , t h e e d really t important to the delegates had been the result of accident. • point in the matter, however, was ' that a thelin e Britishof railway e r_ re cornmunicatioshould be establishede.si in or Robinson would espe b c y ts t ; he but cols nists ter ritory.".

It was se, that t would have swallowed up the whole of the surplus revenue of the colony; but be thought that, directly an d i ndirectly, thereturns of the railway would h ave covered the in terest.—(Hear, hear.) On the 20th of February, he (Earl Grey) had hurriedly written to Lord Elgin, on the eve of the dsparture of the mail, stating that it had not been possible' for him 'to consult his col leagues, but that,. as far es his own opinion went, though he greatly preferred Major Robinson's line, it would be better that the line which the pro vinces bad been with such great difficulty brought to agree to should be made, rather than that there should bane railway at all.—(Hear.) • The line of the cciloniste would certainly be more insecure i 4 case Of war; but in ROUSE OF COMMONS, June 7.

Earl GREY rose, pursuant to notice, to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to lay oa the table of the House any further correspondence relating to the proposed construction of a railway between Hali fax and Quebec. In asking the question of which he had given notice, be would only say a few words in ex planation. Their Lordships would remember that much interest had been taken in the subject of the prop ose d construction of a railway from Halifax to Quebec. Some years ago, when the Noble Earl opposite tilled the office might think best f or the eon of Coloni a l S ecr etary, ho received addresses fr om t h e colonies on the subject, and officers of the royal engineers were appointed to expl o re the country and re portetruo as tio nto theof the line r stihiezny. That report w as received in 1848, when it was his (Earl Grey's) duty to transmit it to the governors of the colonies affected by it. In the spring of 1849 Lord Elgin, of the executive council of that colony t o him pro eat work contemplated should be un dertaken by this country. ththisemcso:lictr: the el)elpense dertaken on certain terms That pro liberal, and he had no doubt that it would pthoesingGothvaertntohre great Canada, sent certain posal war very have met with the concurrence of the other two pro vinces, but at the same time the adoption of that mea ld have involved the expenditure of a large sum sure would time, looking to the of financial condition of this country, it was not con sidered advisable by the Government that the measure should be assented to; acco d rdingi money by this country; ;and at that ' Y, with considerable reluctance, the proposal wa L s . echoed.

The province, unassisted, could obtain the money at 6 per cent.; but with the guarantee of the Bri tish Treasury, at 3i per cent. The dispatches contain ing this decision were sent over in March, 1851; and in makieg this statement to the governors, he informed them that her Majesty's Government did not insist that the line recommended by Major Robinson should be adopted; but all they insisted on was that it should bo a line passing entirely through British territories, and that any deviation from Major Robinson's lice shoud be sub ject to the approval of gnu Government. Since that date, various communications had taken place; and shortly before leaving office he had received an intimation that the assemblies of the three provinces had agreed upon 271 -E GOLD REGIONS. the principle on which the expense of constructing this Australia been rea work so ' received ~, Papers a fortnight later in date have g t h u.d he divided among them.
