Mr. BeNNET rose to state, thit it Was not his intention to move for the Call of the House to-morrow, of which be had given notice. As from 570 to TrSt) Members bad attended during the late discussions, he thought that a sufficient Sense of the importance of the measures proposed Was diFphyed, alld it might he inconvenient to summon other Members, trom perhaps the centre of Irelmid and distant places, who, besides, eonld not. be able to be in their places in The CHANCELLOR (If the EXCHEQUER, Snit!, if th e nun. Member had pressed his motion, it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to have oppo;ed it. At the.same time they were of opinion, that the unusually lull attendance of the Douse left little more to hope for from any such proceeding, and showed that Gentlemen were folly aware of the momentous nature of the duties they were now called upon to discharge. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The CnAsctELLott of the ExcuEctuult moved, that the iiou , e should resOlveitsclrinto a Com mittee of Supply ; and on the . ques;ion that ;,he Speaker do leave the Chair, Mr. BROUGHAM objected to it, on the ground that it was a consiirutioval mode of bringing ti►e grievances of the subject under notice to oppose the grant of supplies. Hi, therefore, seized this occasion to urge his objections to the extrolordi- vary baste with which it scented to be determined to hurry through the new measures. If they Avere temporary or local, the nature of the, case might be different, but great and permanent as was the change they were calculated to effect in the Constitution, it was in•the highest degree in decent to press them on with this nocsampled ra pidity. With a notice of 43 hours, 12 of which %vele necessarily occupied in debate, they were to-morrow to be called upon to discuss the prin ciple of a system by which the laws of England relating to the liberties of the suhject in essential ,particulars were to be changed for ever. This course, be repeated, was indecent towards the Howe, and indecent towards the people, who, wino the Legislature was making a change" of which they could see no chance of repeal, bad a right to delay, to enable them to have their voices and feelings felt before the Act was irre mediable. Yet the Noble Lot d would not grant one day, and insisted on the second reading to snotrow, before the country, except the metro- His and nearest counties, could know what_ the metisures were, or have an opportunity of ex- • pressing its sentiments. It was not - so in - when three--works wcie allowed-for deliberation,. though there tV®s then the same emergency. If the Hottse resolved to decide without discussion, if it was tired of the British Constitution, helnust agree svith an Hon. Gentleman who spoke last night, that they would be discharging but a thankless office by attending there front day to day, and endeavouring to induce the House to its duty. On those grounds he opposed thc - mo• :ion, out would not divide nFon it. Th e House having resolved into the Committee, Sir (jet)ticA3 WAIIRENDER proceeded to move the Navy Estimates, which differed in only one branch from those of last year. This was by the athlition of 2,000 men to the Royal Marines, so that the duties of the dock-yards might be per- formed by tb,►t corps. lie accordingly moved, tha 23,000 rmn, including 8,000 marines, be ;;ranter. for the nAval service, from Ist January /820. Sir IZAAC COFFIN Wifliel.l to know if any in• crease was intended to he made w.ith respect to the guard-ships, lie would state one anecdote, to show ihe deficiency of this part of our naval \Vhen the Anstri:in Archtiokes went to ‘isic one of our dock-yards, nil that the British Navy could display to do them honour, were four jolly-boats, steered by the Cap►ains of the vessels. Yet these were a useful description:of force when expedi!iDtts for actual service, such as that -re ly dispatcfiedrottud Cape florri, were wanted. Thc Honourable Alember ridiculed the me of sea- men on the preventive service, where they were tinder tlre command of the Chancellor of the Ex: checilier. Whenthey returned from these smug- sling exploits, Naval Officers would rather have new it►en than such sailors. Illr. J. GRANT wislitd the House to retnem ber . beteafte-r, that by the etuployment of the ad ilitionAl 2;000 how proposed in the dock-yards, 2,000-SoMitts kir fmid be rvlieved from military duty, mud. wwild: be, in effect, adding 2,000 to the 11.000 - asked for in the increase of the army. -Mtarri 1 , 1 said, the ditties of the dock yards had formerly been done by marines, and it alwas highly desirable that it should be so. Sir GBORGE WAHRENDER *fated, that WWI tt• - ord mite guottl ships,- tire requisite evinqnly the service did not tender any departure from the system of last year advisable. He instanced as a praof that 'they were in an efficient state, that the Superb, iu which Sir T: Hardy lolled; was fully tquipped . in - font days, and her. r amidement of men afterwards speedily made Mr. Mininv•was far from disapprovina of the employment of marines in the Dock - yard, but 're iterated the qiiestion if, by their adoption, the army was not virtually augmented, to the munlier of 2000. He also wished to know how the addi tion was re, be made. It was stated, across the table-by Spreading the men over the existing battalions ; 'and tti some torther conversation, in which Sir G. Os borne and Mr. Coker participated, the latter mentioned that the number of soldiers released trom dot y, u i rendered applicable by this dr raneement, would be in fact 1200. The Reitilistion was Ilreo agreed to. Also Re , solotions tai gnaw...- 650,3:7:31. for Wages, at the rate of 21. 3s. 6d. per man per month. 6►2,9501. for Victualling, at the rate of 21. ls. I.er man per month. 61c2.93ni. {bh WVAr and Tear, and 104,7501. f ,, r. Ordnance. Ou (lie second hew a desultory debate ensued, Mr. liAttino objecting In an increase of Is be yond the Estinhve of last year, and the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explaining it As round ed on experience, the grant of last year being finind to he insofticient. The Himse his lie re4timed. the Report was ordered to be received f . NEW STAMP I)UTIEg. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that the 1-lon,e should resolve itself into a Com mittee on the Stamp Act. Also that it be an in struction to the said Committee to lay a duty on certain Newspapers and Publications referred to it. The House having gone into this Committee, the Right' Hon. Gentleman observed, that the present proceeding was merely for the purpose of bringing in a Bill according to the usual Parlia mentary form ; and as the measure itself might be frequently fully discussed in the stages of that Bill, he would not provoke it nosy by any Obser yatiou, but simply move a Resolution, That all pamphlets and newspapers so called, or papet s containing news and occurrences, or •remarks on political occurrences, or nit the establiskinents in etorch or State, not - exceeding two sheets, and sold or exposed 10 sale in any part of Great Bri tain.or Ireland, at a price less than sixpence, ex clnsive of the duty, shall be within the meaning and provisions of the Stamp Act. Mr. IlanuGnAM, as this was merely a form'al proceeding, consented to postpone the discussion of the question. He was the more ivelioed to do this, as, fill the Bill was brought in, the House could not be sequain eta with the details, and especially with the exceptions, which were, no doubt, intended to be made. Reserving, there fore, his opinion on the InLisure, he should at present only advert to one c.reutosi ance. Be sides accusing the proprietors of the pernici ous publications aimed at by this measure last night, of impiety, blasphemy, and sedition, the Noble Lord opposite had charged them with com mitting a fraud upon the Revenue. After the avowal be had .- made of the ahhOrrence in which he held their dtictritterr, lte trusted it would not be imputed to hint that he had any favour for these pefsons. But he wished them not ro be accused of more than their offences. The Learned Gen 'denten then argued, that by the Stamp Act, the publishers of the twopenny wurks were not legally liable to pay a duty. The tax was • laid on " any newspaper, or paper containing public news, in telligence, or occurrences," which he contended these. publications did not do, but cornment , :ties on political Sllhj , VS, and therefore did not come within the mcaning'of the Act. And it was clearly the intention of . the L4islatine - that they should not, for a dUty of enOther • kind was laid on pamphlets, and books commonly so called. Having concluded this legal argument, the - Learned "Gentleman charged Minisiers with neglect, and pledged - himself 'to prove that they liad•nor checked those infamous vehicles - of blas phemy, impiety,• and sedition, by the old •law,• to 'which they might have applied, and to which, notwi , hslanding their new enactments, they - would hereafter Ise obliged to. apply as the sorest remedy for the. evil. • Lord CASTLEREAGH Said, if he was legally wrong in charging these parties with.. fraud in addition to their other .crimes, he was ready to retract his opinion, to:Which he was led by some of the publications having forMerly paid the duty, which they latterly 'etailed. With - regard to the treasure now propoSed, the House' Coold not form correct idea of the Bill 'was brOught'in. Its purport' in 'one point of lien- was to place more reSpectableperiodical publications, at least, on faker principles of competition rhe'begg,ed to say, that no concurrence in the vote of.this night should be considered as a pledge to give any sup port whatever to the measure. Mr. littouonaks explained, and •lief Or - he sat down again begged to ask it It WaS really the Noble Lord's intention to press . A the - Measures with the preeipitaney•he had intiniated. 'lle did hope that after the House was in' possession of these measures, they 'should haYe Space' and rest allowed to deliberate upon them, and the people also a moment's pause,•probably for the last time. L - trd CASTLEREAGH said, that as the House had a reati y adopted the principle of the Bill to prevent Seditious. Meetings, which stood for e second reading to•morrow, .he would of course, press that motion with regard to the Bill for lay ing on the new Stamp Duties ; the second reading might beconvenirotly fixed four or five days after . it was bought up, therefore some day about the middle of next week. Sir :11. V. Runes - protested against the as snmprion that the House It ad by any past' vote sanctioned the principle of the Seditious Meet ings Bill. PETER GRANT took the same course, and ex pressed his opinion that that Bill was the most important of all the measures proposed, as it abrogated the common law on the liberties at the subject. The Recoltition was then agreed to; the House resumed ; and the Report ordered to be received to•morrow. — Adjout ned. iIIE COLONS L 5. CANADA. (From the Quetee Gazettes of the sthlti the 31st of Oct.) MONTREAL, OCT. 9.—We have seldom Mt it more rapid change in the weather than has O'c cur'red within the last ten days.. In the end of last isreeli and biginhing of the present, the cold was very intense, so as to render stoves and fires indispensably necessary. For the last three days she heat has been very oppressive. The thermo- Meter stood at 79 in the Mrertoon ; and front the rapid transition the sensation was particularly un pleasant. His P,teellenty Sir Peregrine Maitland, and suite, Arrived in this City Oh Saturday evening, in the Steam Boat Swiftsure, on his way from Que bec, where he had been taking leave of his illus trious tel the family of oor late Governor plevions to their departure for llngland. And, on Monday. Sir 'Peregrine set out no Isis roqie for Upper Canada, to resurne the duties of his !nation as Lieutenailt-Governor its that Pfts- vince BoutibaeT Ltree.—lt is confirmed, that the Commissioners under the treaty of Ghent for run ning the boundary line between the United States and Lower Canada, have agreed to report, liat the 45th degree of north latitude runs about one mile and an half 10 (16e sorithwar d of Psonie's Point ; and consequently that this fortified post falls within the British province. it was pro bable this Was anticipated, as the works o n that Point !curie lon . g since been disi-ontinued.--4n a tra• tiolial point of view this tesuli is of small inaltuurt. ante, as, in the event of Hllot her War he‘ tweed the United States and England, andthe possession ot C 'nada should become a national objett, it needs no second sight to foretel, that the former need rely on no other point than chat of the bay onet to make a sate lodgment in the citadel ot Qaebec in two months after the decimation.— Boston Centinel.) BUFFALO, SEPT. 24.—Considerable quanti!ies of Wheat, of tie hest quality, were soh; at Fre donia, Chautancpte county, during the past week, at thirty-seven and a half cents per bo,hel ; and the Gazette states that it did not nicer a ready sale. even at that price. The second annual Cattle 'phew Exhilsition ant{ Ploughiog Match for the Di,triet of („2-lebec, took place on the Plains of Abraham, on Tuesday and Wedeestlay - thes.ll and 6th inst. according to the advertisement of the Bth May last. The Cattle She , v, althotigh sOperior. in some respects, in others was interior to that of last year. Some very•uselul Agricultural li»pleruents of a cheap and easy construction made in- the country were exhibited.' The spew of Vegetables, although not very extensive, was of prime duality, and highly creditable to Canadian Agriculture. But sew ploughs were enteted, and some of them did tint come forw a rd. The work generally was interior, partly however owing to the dryness of the land an I the thickness of the sod, which had not been turned over for the last twen'y or thirty years. A great number of pi izes were adjudged, of which an official list will be piiblidsed. Tit % Meeting, although respectably attended, was' tar from be ing as numerous as might have been expected, where an object of such general and acknowledg ed utility:Was to be prottioted. We have great satisfaction in announcing, that the pledge given to the pubhc on the part of the Diocesan Committee of the Society forpromoting Christian Knowledge, with respect to the esta s blishment of a School in Qaebee, in connection with the - National Society at home, will imme diately be realized. A "Master and Mistress who have undergone a regular course of training in the Central School, at Baldwin's Garden s , a nd are fully versed in the New System of Education, have just arrived; *and the upper part ot the Hope ,Gate Barrack, which had been assigned for this Pitt:rise hy our late lamented Governor-in-Met, is now fitting up as a temporary School-loom, and will be'ready for the reception of Scholars by the first of next month. To iotrodoce into"these Provinces the Madras System . of Education, has been a principal object of the Diocesan Commit tee, from its first institution ; and in now recom mending it to the attention of the public, they beg to assure them, that, without aiming at any unnecessary innovation, or holding out any vi sionary perfection, no mode of Instruction has hitherto 'been devised, which can at all come in competition with it, in point of ease, expedi'ion, economical and effective arrangement, aod gene ral adaptation to the wants of Society. That a system, so simple in its mechanism, and 'at the same time so coniprehensive in its objects, cannot fail to be productive of much good, its a country where the benefits of Education are so spasingly diffused amongst the lower orders, - we cannot al low onrselVes to doubt ; and the venerable Socie ty tor the Priupagatiou of the Gospel, by whom the Master and MiStress have beensent out to its, has thus givers us a fresh prOof of its patented at tention to our best interests, and established, ano titer strong claim upon our gratitude, in additinn to' what We noticed in our last week's Gazette. Our only hope is that the community will eoralial s . ly co-operate with the Diocesan Committee',' and thus give an impulse to the System, which may enable it to circulate with tepidity and effect tbrottglrOut the two Provinces. • IVIONT'HIAL, OcT. 13.--41 is with much regret we communicate to our readers the death of John Ogilvy, Esq. British Commissioner for set tling the'bontulary - line between these Provinces and the Milted States. He died at Amherstburg, (U. C.) on t he 28th ult. of a fever now very pre valent in those parts. He was perhaps the only Gentleman its this district, who, rptitting com merce, turned the whale of his attentioo and ea- Initial to agricultural pursuits.—What a benefit he has been to this part of the Province in that, as well as in many otluur respects, is well 'known. The example he set is worthy of imitation. Several Newspapers, - both in this Province and United States, have, tor some tune past, enter tained their readers with reports of hostile pre• paratio , s, of) the part of the British and American Governments. So far as Great nritaio is con cerned, -these repot is - are without foundation, awl we believe they are equally so with respect to the United States. Front the moment that the Bul lish Ministry declared in Parliament, that they would not interfere in relation to tilt .Fier" all prospect of an immediate collision between th e tiro countries vanished. It is to that 4natter than the ambition of the United States is directed a t present. The Vauntings of the Americans reit tt ii ing to their means of s u bd u in g t h e Crtnadas, no doubt be brought to the test on some future ottation, acid probably with a. result similar tot" two preceding attempts.
