LONDON: MONDAY, JULY 5, 1841 We direct the attention of our readers to the excellent speech of Lord SYDENHAM, delivered at the opening of the first Parliament of the United Provinces of Upper and Lower Ca nada, which will be found in another part of The Sun. It is the only important communica tion brought by the Great Western, which ar rived on Sunday night at Bristol. Whatever may be the immediate result of the elections, as to the House of Commons, immea surable good must ensue for the public. A most important question of practical legislation was the basis of the appeal made to the electoral bodies. Heretofore they have been called upon to decide some technical and unimportant point, such as the invasion of the King's prerogative by the House of Commons, some claim of a reli gious sect, such as that of the political supre macy of the Anglican priesthood, or some ques tion of constitutional doctrine, such as the right of representation, which was never carried out in practice. But now they have been summoned by the Qu EEN'S Government to consider whether or not they will submit to be taxed for the be nefit of individuals and classes. The State is costly, and weighs heavily on the people. They can bear the burdens imposed on them no longer. It has become with them a question whether the State, which has to be sustained by enormotis taxation, be worth the immense sum it costs. Th o se who administer the State declare that a large portion of the s e burdens—now so much complained of—is not levied for the State, but, by it authority, and under the cover of its name, for the benefit of individuals and classes. On this practical question, then, whether the people will submit to be taxed for the benefit of some cla , seS as well as for the service of the State, an appeal has been made to the public. This ques tion is, as it were, new to the bulk of • the peo not before been told people. They have by authority that the Legislature taxes them both for the general benefit and to promote particular interests at the expense of the general good. They -have not before been solemnly informed that the Legislature has made, - and now upholds, laws to plunder some for the benefit of others. They hive not before had the whole system of legisla lation decried by competent aufirority. They are now, however, solemnly assured by the Exe cutive'Government that the Legislature, forget ting its high functions, forgetting all its duties to the people, has passed laws to tax them, in order to enrich Its own members and their friends. They hare been told this, too, at a time when they feel very sorely the preslure of the taxes on them; and thus one of the most important questions of Government is thrown to them for decision, connected with their immediate in terests. They are informed in the same sentence that the Legillature has not merited their confi dence, and that they may have a cheap abund ance of all the good things of life by overruling its unjust decrees. 109 true that this question has not been placed very clearly and precisely before the public. The dentinciation of past legislation is clear enough ; but the mode of ► elief in future is much obscured by the proposition to repeat in another form the injustice which is denounced. But that will be cleared up by the ensuing debates in the House of Commons. Whether Mr. COBDEN, Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr.Vimanns,and other gentlemen who entertain similar opinions, be on the Ministerial or Oppo sition sides of the House, they will be sure to inform the public that it is absurd to take a great deal of trouble and rains merely to change the name and form of our burdens. Profiting by the admission that the present monopolist taxes are most unjust and most injurious, they will .N inilke RA: Wrest that to conti nu e em in any shape' •orf. • is equally injurious and u, just ; anzi;supportq. by the public, whose interest is deep)y concerned, th ey will be: able to bring into complete disrepute all taxes levied, not for the State, but for the purpose of enriching one clans at the expense of the public. • In the approaching Parliament the se gentle. _ men will form, we presume, a class apart, as they have a special mission. It wi l l b e their ! great business to bring forward on all ccasions the doctrine that the people ought only to be taxed for the service of the State, and to prove that they are now heavily taxed for the bene fit of individuals. They will expound and . defend the doctrines of free trade, and make the public familiar with them. Whatever others may do, they will steadily and perseveringly promote the abolition of the Corn-laws. Now, sending into the House of Commons a body of men pledged to these principles, and bound to take every opportunity to enforce them, together with the admission, by the highest authority, that the present system is erroneous and unjust, seem to us great gains for the popular cause. Suppose Sir ROBERT PEEL be Prime Minister, he cannot wipe out of the public mind the knowledge that has now been implanted in it. He cannot prevent those gen tlemen from increasing and enforcing that know, ledge, and he cannot, therefore, prevent that progress which must soon turn him out, with the whole crew of monopolists, or compel them, as they have before been compelled, to eat the dirt they have of late vomited at Tamworth and else where, which their scribes call political wisdom. The owners ofrent are graciously pleased to pro pose a small abatement in their tax on our bread. One of them—who make the laws in his own person in the Upper House of Parliament, and influences his tax collectors, the farmers, to re turn the Members of the other—Lord WIL LOUGHBY DE ERESBY—has proposed a new scheme for altering the present duties, by which he is willing to remit' a small portion of the rent owners' plunder. Whereas the duty is now, when wheat is 60s. per quarter, 265. Bd., this Lord proposes to make it 20s. Bd., and to let in wheat, duty free, when the price is above 70s. We are grateful for his condescension in consi dering his slaves, and we are pleased to find even the bread-taxers themselves suggesting al terations in their taxes. Their misgivings of its justice warrants the heavier charges which honest men, who do not profit by it, bring against it. The ground on which Lord WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY proposes this alteration is as follows : I think that a fair remunerating price to the agricul turist would be, for wheat 58s. per quarter, barley 325., and for oats 245. From the best information I have been able to obtain, foreign wheat, including all ex penses of freight, &c., can be purchased in England, in years of average produce, at 365. a quarter, barley at 235., and oats at 18s. You will see by the scale, that the duty added to these prices will make up the prices which will, I consider, afbard a fair, but by no means a large, profit to the agriculturist. Now, we beg the people of England calmly, but duly, to consider the basis here laid down for legislation. " from the best information I am able to obtain," says this law-maker, "foreign wheat can be purchased in England at 365. a quarter." When a Noble legislator tells the people of England that they are to be hanged if they murder a fellow-creature, or transported if they steal a purse, the people of England will comprehend and approve of his law, because they know, as well as he knows, that murder and theft are crimes. But when he tells them that they must pay a tax of 20s. a quarter on wheat, because foreign wheat may be purchased here for 365. a quarter, he speaks about what they have no knowledge of whatever. They know nothing of the price at which foreign wheat may be on an average of years purchased in England. He introduces, therefore, an element into his legislation of which the bulk of the people can have no cognizance, and, as far as they are concerned, he might as well say the selling price will be 205., and the duty ought, therefore, to be 365., as what he does say. In dependently of all other considerations, we pre sume to assert that this assumption on the part of Lord WILLOUGIIBY DE ERESBY and his fel lows, of a species of knowledge which the bulk of the people cannot possess, as the basis of a most important law affecting their subsistence, vitiates such a law from beginning to end. But what does lie himself know about the average price of foreign wheat? Mind he and the other bread-taxers do not make his law for the ten or twenty years which are passed ; they are beyond his reach. He makes it to rule over the destinies of England during the next ten or twenty years. If he were to say that the sun has risen at six o'clock on the 21st of September for the last few years, and will rise at six o'clock on the 21st of September for the next few years, let us make some law regulating our calendar, on that principle we should make no objection. There is certainty in that. But on what ground does he or any man presume to conclude, be cause foreign wheat, as he says, may have been purchaseable in England at 365. per quarter for the last ten years, that it will be at the same price on an average of the next ten years? We boldly affirm that there lives no human being who possesses the least data for coming to such a conclusion, and that a law based on such an assumption, rests solely on the avarice and fear born fancies of such rent-owners and bread taxers as Lord W ILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY. Mark the term foreign wheat. That means all the wheat grown out of England. Is it possible for this Lord, however wise he may be, or all the Lords of the Empire, to know or to guess all the circumstances which may affect the prices of foreign wheat? Can he tell what will be the price of wheat, brought from the borders of the Mississippi, and landed at Liverpool, ten years hence ? Calk he, or any other Lord or Lordling, assure this great and starving community, that within that period there will not be as great a fall in the price of wheat as there has been, within a few years, in the price of silk and cotton ? Does he know, or does any man know, that the extension of ma nufactures on the Continent—to supply the place of the relinquished English manufactures, perishing in our submerged towns and razed cities, as they are destroyed by Tory. legislation—will not raise the price of wheat there higher than it will then be in England? tide say that no man, either here or abroad, can tell what effect - the growth of population and the extens i on o f manu f ac t ures on th e one hand, and the increase of knowledge and skill on the other, will have on the price of foreign wheat during the next ten or twenty years ; and that to make a law for either of those periods on an assumption h chaseable in England t t li r a i t may o t tcgh that period be im a r- t 365., is one of the wildest and most visionary as sumptions for the basis of such an all import ant enactment that ever entered the head of lrialtl, n enough to be pl un d ere d ; b u t who bad op d lunder us not at t h e same time ilnestulht those and mock us, by such an extravagant and ridiculous assumption of a knowledge it is not given to man to possess. Thi s sapient legislator—and he is as good as most of his tribe--after he has sketched out this airy basis for a slight modification in his starva tion law, proceeds to exemplify his sense of jus tice, and of what is due to the millions who are neither manufacturers nor landlords, in the fol lowing passage In considering the protection which is thus proposed to be given to the agriculturist, it is requisite to take into any . calculation to be made on the subject, that on on all agricultural produce, except corn, the protec given by 4 duties payable on the importation of such articles does not exceed 14 per cent., whilst the protection given by the present duties on the importation of thirty-eight manufactured articles, according to the annexed table, averages about 42 per cent. ; and it will be found that if the whole of the protecting duties given to the agricultural products is calculated accord ing to the usual mode of cultivation adopted, and by w „„312 a corn crop can only be obtained every second year , on the -,; s :ry best land, that the average of the agri cultural duties will "mount to more than 40 per "ry of " No mo cent. How senseless, then, is tut: nopoly." so, because the Legislature has passed, in gross ignorance, at some time or other, a series of foolish laws to protect some manufacturers, this legislator jumps to the conclusion that he must make and support a law to tax the bread of all the people, whether they are manufacturers of ,; -, • 11 . 0 U 44, • ICG C_ • "14.41.11 k , A ' - 4 ° 1 1 11 DO W•'11.4 Irte . • ti AIM THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 5, 1841. the protected articles or not. Verily these legis lators think and act as if there were not a soul in the community to be cared for, but the owners of rent, and the capitalimts who are engaged in manu facturing silk and brass-work. At the same time, Lord WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY, who knows so extremely well what will be the price of foreign wheat for the next score of yea's, ought to know that the manufac turers are willing to give up these protective duties, and would most gladly resign them to get rid of the Corn-laws. He ought also to know that the legislation of that Par liament, of which he is a Member, is sometimes extremely different from actual facts. The legislator meant to give a protection of 20 per cent. to some commodities, but he really gives no protection at all. In several cases, as most of our hardwares and cottons, the articles protected are manufactured in greater abundance than they can be consumed at home; and they are exported to sell in the foreign market at the same price as the similar articles of foreign manufacture. When an article, however, is exported, the price obtained for it abroad determines the price at home, and on all such articles, whatever the law may say, it is impossible for the law-maker to give any protection to the British manufacturer. This pretence, then, of giving protection to some manufactured articles, is as arrant a piece of hum bug, when put forward as an argument for main taining a tax on the non-manufacturer's bread, as the assumption that foreign wheat will always be purchaseable in England at 365. per quar ter. The more we are driven to consider the starvation laws, the greater reason do we find to wonder at the patience of the dupes who submit to such a monstrous piece of absurdity and injustice, and at the con ceited ignorance of those who, uninformed of a thousand things in their own societyand in their own age, pretend to be perfectly well acquainted with what will be the exact price of foreign wheat for the next score of years. • Accounts from the City say that considerable uneasiness prevails there. The late failure of one banking-house, in consequence of the con duct of its agents in a manufacturing district, is probably one of the earliest indications to the public that the disease which prevails in the north has reached the metropolis. It was an nounced on Saturday that another banking company have closed their concerns, and mean to withdraw from business. From more than one quarter we have heard that very considerable distress and distrust pre vail amongst the merchants and tradesmen of the metropolis. We notice this subject here to ob serve that this unfavourable condition of things is not in any way the consequence of Ministerial measures. The Ministers have been willing to take measures to relieve and prevent distress, but they have done nothing to provoke it. We put this matter at once before the public, because we foresee that the Tories will accuse the Ministers of causing the distress which at present exists, and is likely to increase. We should not be at all surprised to find them attributing to the measures which they have not allowed to be carried into effect, all the disasters which may fall on the country. The Queen of HANOVER died on the 29th ult. She had been labouring under a severe disease for the last fortnight, and from its commence ment no hopes were entertained of her recovery. We have given in another part of the paper a letter from Sir ROBERT PEEL to the Duke of ARGYLL OR the Non-Intrusion question, which lately made such a noise in Scotland. On looking at the letter we expected no information as to the Right Honourable Baronet's views on the subject, and we have not been disappointed. We defy any man in England to write a letter so plausible yet so destitute of meaning. Besides the ordinary French Papers of Friday and Satur day, we have received by express the Paris Journals of Sunday. The Presse of Sunday states that MEHEMET ALI has sent 1,250,000 francs (50,0001.) to the Porte on ac count of the tribute. We believe this sum falls some what short of the arrears of the old tribute due by the PASHA to the SULTAN. A circumstance still more ex traordinary is noticed in the same Journal. The SUL TAN, who was for plunging all Europe into war, rather than permit MEHEMET ALI to retain the government of Arabia and the Holy Cities,, now discovers that it' is worse than useless to him, and therefore entreats the VICEROY to assume his sway over a country in which the authority of the Porte is openly set at de fiance. In fact, from the moment the PAsuA's troops were withdrawn from the holy cities, there was no longer protection for life or property. The caravans were plun dered, the pilgrims robbed, maltreated, and if they offered any resistance, murdered with impunity. As the power of the SVLTAN was wholly inadequate to protect the pilgrims, and as the "powerful Lord of the Lords of the world, the distributor of all the Crowns of the Uni verse," as ABD-UL-MEDJID modestly styles himself; could not suffer the throats of pious Moslems to be cut and the tomb of the Prophet to be defiled without giving great scandal to the " faithful ;" he is noNA as eager to get rid of Arabia as he was a few months ago to obtain it. Unless matters are greatly improved in Syria we shall not be surprised to hear that the Divan shall have advised his Highness to dispose of that country likewise. We are glad to learn from the Courrier Francais that the French and English Consuls in Candia have received instructions to affbrd all the protection in their power to the Christians of that island. Something more than negative protection is due to such of the brave Candiotes as are exposed to the barbarity of the ruthless Turks. On the 30th ult. Rear-Admiral HuooN's squadron was cruizing off the Balearic Isles. It is difficult to conceive what object France has in view in keeping such a large naval force in the Mediterranean. Austria and Prussia have recognised the Government of Queen Donna MARIA of Portugal, and are about to send Ambassadors to Lisbon. They have invited Russia to unite with them in opening friendly relations with her most Faithful MAJESTY. Queen CHRISTINA has taken a house in Paris. It is supposed that her future residence will be in that capital. The King of the FRENCH and the Royal Family arrived at the Chateau of Bizy, on the 2d inst. The following extracts include all the miscellaneous news in the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The squadron under Rear-Admiral Lassusse, which was to have left Toulon for the Levant on ► . he 2:4th June, has not made any movement preparatory to putting to sea, and it was reported that the departure has been countermanded. Prince Nicholas Esterhazy passed through Aix-la-Chapelle, a few days since for Frankfort. The France mentions a report of hia being about to marry a Princes; of the Ducal House of Nassau. Al. Thiers and family have arrived at Antwerp. The following from Tripoli, slated the 14th ult., is given by the Semaphore of Marseilles : " The expedition against Fort Claim appears to have been successful. After severe fighting for three days and nights Aehmet Pacha made himself master of it ; but his victory cost hire several of his officers and a great many men. It is known that Tahir Pasha, when he was Governor of the Re gency. after having held his fortress for six months, was compelled to capitulate, and withdraw himself and his troops. On the other hand, all the faces of Askar Ali Pacha, being now collected in this country, they will ere long be re called towards the East, where the people of Abdel Gelil and Tanghuna will greatly annoy them. It is said that in the course of the attack and defence of Gorian, Ghuma was killed. The fortress, after all, is said to have only been reduced by famine. The Uled Busef and other tribes of Arabs, dependent on the Government of Tripoli, have attacked the Fezzan. They have had engagements with the men of Abdel Gelil, in one of which, as we are informed, his own son was mortally wounded." A Correspondent at Algiers writes, on 22d ult. A few days ago the Sheik of a small tribe, seated near Ouled Man dil, which has long been subject to France, brought in the head of a Hadjoute, whom he caught marauding. He was praised for his loyalty, and desired to do the same again whenever he had an opportunity. The chief, who expected something better than tine words, replied, through an inter preter—" What 1 do you pay Isof. for a panther, an animal which does but little harm, and will give nothing for the head of a redoubtable Hadjoute ! Away with you, Frenchmen; nei ther I nor my people will take any more pains to render you a service. " The Courrier de Lyon mentions a rumour of the cholera having just broken out near Trieste with much intensity. On Friday morning an attaché of the Spanish Embassy had along inter.iew with the Queen Dowager of Spain. The Temps of Saturday says :—" Al. de Rothschild leaves Paris this day. under pretext of going to the baths of Ems; he is really going to Vienna to settle the affair of the Austrian loan with M. de Metternich. He will remain in Germany until the time wh e n h e i s t o con t r act for the French loan with Al. Hamann, that is a bout Oct o b e r." The Temp o s t a t es t h a t t h e o ff ites o f two Receivers-General are on the point of falling vacant, but for what department it does not mention. It adds : " The recal of these functionaries from their posts is to be attributed to derangement in their affairs; and the necessity for removing them has long been known to the Government, and too long delayed." • The followin g i s a T a bl e o f t h e A mount o f t h e F or eign and Colonial Trad e o f F rance f or 1840 compared w i t h 1839, in millions of franc s 1&40 1839 General trade-flmports 1,052 Export 3 . . _ Imports 2,063 1,950 Special trade . 650 Exports 695 1,442 1,327 The Ministerial evening journal gives the following facts, as proofs of the exertions made ly the Ministers of War and the Marine, for the relief of the military hospitals in Africa : Three steamers, the Cerbere, Cregeois, and Nleteore, have been devoted to the transport of invalids to Mahon ( where there is a hospital containing 567 beds,) Marseilles, and Tou lon. The ve-sels arc fitted up vith great care, and each is capable of receiving 4UO sick ox wounded men, who receive during their passage the same medicines and attention as if they were on shore. The three ionve-mentioned hospitals are capable of receiving together 1,3 W patients at a time." The Wurzburg Gazette stater that the decoration of the Black Eagle which was given to r2sen. Boyer by the King of Prussia, as we mentioned at the inauguration of the statue of Marshal .Gneisenau, had formerly belonged to Napoleon, and had been given him by the late King of Prussia. It was found in the Emperor's carriage alter the battle of Waterloo, and WAS given to Marshal Gneisenau, being transferred after his death to the present King, the Hereditary Prince of Prussia. TRAVELLING IN RUSsIA.—The Prussian State Gazette mentions the establishment of a line of public vehicles from St. Petersburg to Tauroggen, on the Berlin road, runniug seven times a week, and transporting traveilers, according to the lightness of the carriages employed, in 64 hours, 84 hours, or 180 hours, at charges of 35, 30, or 17 silver rubles, respec tively (the ruble is 4 fr. 13 c. ) The vehicles are made to hold either two or four persons, and are of elegant appearance, and good accommodations for sleeping are to be found on the road. Adviees from New Zealand of the 17th January are quoted by the Ilavre Journal. They relate to the French settlers who went out in the Comte de Paris, and are now established on Banks's Peninsula. Their condition is represented as most flourishing—they had a good deal of land cleared and sown, and wheat, maize, tobacco, vine, &c., grew with great lux ul on them. There was every reason to expect that grapes would succeed perfectly, end the sugar-cane was shortly to be planted. For a couple of months these settlers had been able to supply provisions to shi?s touching at Alkatoa Bay. Two coal -fields had been discmered in the island of Tavai- Poenammai, one situated at Cool's Strait, near Cloudy Bay— the other at Morakai, near Otago. A letter from Turin, 20th ult., in the Augsburg Gazette, says—" The Archduchess Maria Louisa quitted Parma on the 18th for the baths of Ischl. The Empress of Austria remains at Modena, but is to leave on the 24th and to arrive at Vienna by the beginning of July. Nothing positive has yet been settled as to the 200,000 francs a-year, which the Conserva tive courts are to allow Don Carlos ; the declaration of Russia on this subject is waited for. A letter from Naples states that the King has formally refused •,o contribute any thing, as he already makes an allowance to the Infante DOA Sebastian."

The much-talked of loan was still in abeyance. A rumour was current that ESPARTERO would prorogue the Cortes on the 7th instant. The Finance Committee had recommended a reduction of the civil list, to the amount of three millions of reals. There was still disturbances between the French and Spanish inhabitants on the frontier. The two chambers were to meet toge ther to appoint the QUEEN'S guardian or guardians. M. ARGUELLES continues to be spokiin of as likely to fill that important office. Letters from Saragossa announce that a violent alter cation had taken place in that city between a great many Spanish and French journeymen bakers. Fortunately no lives were lost. We learn from Valencia that a revolt has broken out in that city, in consequence of the disbanding of the re giment of chasseurs of Oporto. The men at first refused to deliver up their arms, on the plea that a considerable sum of money was due to them by the Government. They were at length brought to reason, without the ne cessity of having recourse to harsh measures; but, before this could be effected, it was found necessary to pay them a part of the arrears due to them. The Portu guese Legion, which at first were 15,000 strong, are now reduced to 3,000, 12,000 having perished in the late campaigns. Business on the Bourse was dull on the 26th. Five per Cents. were done at 261 cash, and 26i for 60 days' date ; Four per Cents., 20-,f, cash. PROTESTANT CHURCH IN MALTA.—A great degree of anxiety was reigning at the last date from Malta among the English residents at Valetta with regard to the building of the English church of St. Paul, which had recently been suspended. The cause of this suspension, it is stated, is that strong doubts have been expressed by experienced English engineers as to the safety of erect ing the roof upon the interior columns, so long as they rest upon the present lines of foundation arches, the span of which has not been calculated in a manner that every column should rest alternately upon a pier and a key stone. It would appear, that in order to diminish as much as possible the expense of building from the great depth of foundation rock, the late Mr. Lankesheer had included in his plan fewer and wider arches than were adapted to distances between the columns, but which he designed of a massiveness and strength sufficient to coun terbalance this irregularity ; and it is the-opinion of those Maltese professional individuals who have exa mined the lines of arches that they are fully competent to sustain the weight of the intended superstructure. The committee are reported to have come to the deter mination of suspending the progress of the building until a complete plan for its continuance shall have been pre pared by an English architect now in Malta, who has been requested to undertake the charge of superintending the remainder of the work, subject to the approval of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. It is probable that the building will soon be resumed, and that the edifice (ex cept the tower) will be completed in the course of next summer.—[lt looks very like a job.—ED.] AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN. By the Great Western Steam-ship, Capt. Hos ken, which arrived at Kingroad on Saturday evening, at half-past eight o'clock, we have re ceived a copy of Lord Sydenham's Speech at the opening of the Parliament of the two Canadas, which is well worthy of public attention. We have also received our usual files of New York Papers to the 19th ult. The Great Western brought 84 passengers. She had the ill fortune to sail in the midst of a tremendous storm, which compelled the packet ship " England' to put hack, and she has en countered nine days of easterly gales, and in the midst of fog, as her log shows. LORD SYDENHAM'S SPEECH. (From the Supplement of the Quebec Gazelle, published by authority at Kingston. ) PROVINCE OF CANADA. Legislative Council Chamber, Kingston, June 15, 1841. This day, at two o'clock, r.ai., his Excellency the Governor proceeded in state to the Chamber of the Legislative Council, in the Parliament building, the Members of the Legislative Council being there assembled. His Excellency was pleased to command the attendance of the Members of the Assembly, and that house being present, Mr. Austin Cuvillier, M.P.P. for the county of Huntingdon, informed his Excellency that the choice of the Assembly had fallen upon him to be their Speaker. The Speaker then demanded the customary privi leges, which his Excellency having granted, was pleased to open the first Session of the first Parliament of the province of Canada with the following Speech from the Throne : " Hon. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " I have deemed it right to assemble you at the earliest pe riod which the circumstances of the province and the duties imposed upon me by the Imperial Act for the union of the Ca nadas, under which the Legislature is constituted, have ad mitted ; and it is with sincere satisfaction that I now meet you to deliberate on the great and important interests committed to our charge. " A subject of her Majesty, an inhabitant of this province, has been forcibly detained in the neighbouring States, charged with a pretended crime. No time was lost by the executive of this province in remonstrating against the proceeding, and provision was:made for insuring to the individual the means of de fence, pending the further action of her Majesty's Government. The Queen's representative at Washington has since been in structed to demand his release. Of the result of that demand I am not yet apprised, but I have the Queen's commands to assure her faithful subjects in Canada of her Majesty's fixed determination to protect them with the whole weight of her power. " Arrangements were completed during the course of last summer by which, under the directions of the Treasury, the rates of postage between all parts of this colony and the united kingdom were greatly reduced; and a more speedy and a regu lar conveyance of letters between different parts of this pro vince has since been established by arrangements made by the Deputy Postmaster-General under my direction. A com mission has been appointed by me to inquire into and report upon the whole post-office system of British North America, and I confidently anticipate that the result of its labours will be the establishment of a plan securing improvements in the internal communication by post within the colony, equal to those which we have already obtained in the communication with the mother country. " Many subjects of deep importance to the future welfare of the province demand your early attention, upon some of which I have directed bills to be prepared, which will be submitted for your consideration. " Amongst them, first in importance at the present juncture of affairs is the adoption of measures for developing the re sources of the province, by well considered and extensive public works. The rapid settlement of the country—the value of every man's property within it—the advancement of the future fortunes, are deepl y affected by this question. "6 The improvement of the navigation from the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Huron to the ocean—the establishment of new internal communications in the inland districts, are works requiring a great outlay, but promising commensurate returns. . To undertake them successfully large funds will un doubtedly be required, and the financial condition of the pro 'Once as it stands at present would seem to forbid the at tempt. But I have the satisfaction of informing you that I have received authority from her Majesty's Government to state that they are prepared to call on the Imperial Parliament to afford their assistance towards those important undertak ings. In the full belief that peace and tranquillity will be;h4p pity re-established in this province, under the constitution settled by Parliament, and that nothing but a relief from its most pressing difficulties is wanting to its rapid advancement to prosperity, they will propose to Parliament, by affording the guarantee of the Imperial Treasury for a loan to the extent of no less than 1,500,0001. sterling, to aid the province, for the double purpose of diminishing the pressure of the interest on the public debt, and of enabling it to proceed with those great public undertakings whose progress during the last few years has been arrested by the financial difficulties. I shall direct a measure to be submitted to you, embracing a plan for this purpose, and I shall lay before you, for your in formation and that of the people of Canada, extracts from the despatches which convey to me this most gratifying as surance. " In immediate connexion with the outlay of capital upon public works is the subject of emigration, and the disposal and settlement of public lands. There exist within the province no means so certain of producing a healthy flow of immigra tion from the mother country, and of ultimately establishing the immigrant as a settler and proprietor within the colony, as the power of affording sure employment for his labour on his first arrival. The assistance of Parliament for the public works which may be undertaken here, will in a great measure pro vide for this; but with a view further to aid immigration, I am authorized to declare to you, that her Majesty's Govern ment are prepared to assist in facilitating the passage of the immigrant from the port at which he is landed to the place a here his labour may be made available, and that a vote of money for this purpose will be proposed to the Imperial Parlia- Ment. The conditions which her Majesty's Government attach to this measure will be submitted to you, at the same time that I shall draw your attention to a scheme for the settlement and disposal of the public lands. " It appears highly desirable that the principles of local self-government, which already prevail to some extent through out that part of the province which was formerly Upper Ca nada, should receive a more extended application there, and that the people should exercise a greater degree of power over their own local affairs. I have directed a measure upon this subject to be submitted to you, and I solicit your earnest at tention to the establishment of such a form of local self.go vernment for those districts of the province which are unpro vided with it as may insure satisfaction to the people, whilst it preserves inviolate the prerogative of the Crown, and main tains the administration of justice pure from party and popular excitement. 6. A due provision for the education of the people is one of the first duties of the State, and in this province especially the want of it is grievously felt. The establishment of an efficient system, by which the blessings of instruc tion may be placed wiihin the reach of all, is a work of difficulty, but its great and overwhelming impor tance demands that it should be undertaken. I recom mend the consideration of the subject to your best attention, and I shall be most anxious to afford you in your labours all the co-operation in my power. If it should be found impossible so to reconcile conflicting opinions as to obtain a measure which may meet the approbation of all, I trust that at least steps may be taken by which an advance to a more perfect system may be made, and the difficulty under which the people of this province now labour may be greatly diminished, subject to such im provements hereafter as time and experience may point out. " Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " The financial accounts of the province will be immediately laid before you, and I shall direct the estimates for the public service to be submitted to you with the least possible delay. 1 rely upon your co-operation in the financial measures which it will be my duty to propose to you for taking advantage of the assistance which her Majesty's Government propose to afford, and for carrying into effect the public improvements which are deemed most desirable. I shall earnestly endeavour that what ever you may appropriate for this latter purpose shall be eco nomically employed and rendered effective. " Hon. Gentlemen and Gentlemen, "In your wisdom and prudence I confide for the regulation of the different important matters which must necessarily come before you. Canada, united under a constitution which the Imperial Legislature has framed with an earnest desire for the welfare of this portion of tl e British empire, cannot fail to prosper under prudent and sage counsels. The generous aid which I have already announced to you—the determination which I am also empowered to state on the part of the Govern ment to devote annually a large sum for the military defences of the province—the fixed and settled determination which I have the Queen's commands to declare, that her North Ame rican possessions shall be maintained at all hazards as part of her empire, are pledges of the sincerity with which the mother country desires to promote the prosperity of Canada, anti to assist in the well working of the new institutions which it has established. " The eyes of England are anxiously fixed upon the result of this great experiment. Should it succeed, the aid of Par liament in your undertakings—the confidence of British capi talists in the credit you may require from them—the security which the British people will feel in seeking your shores an d establishing themselves on your fertile soil, may carry improve ment to an unexampled height. The rapid advance of trade and immigration within the last eighteen months affords ample evidence of the effects of tranquillity in restoring confidence and promoting prosperity. May no dissensions mar the flat tering prospect which is open before us—may your efforts be steadily directed to the great practical improvements of which the province stands so much in need, and under the blessing of that I'rovi,'ence which has hitherto preserved this portion of the British dominions, may your counsels be so guided as to in sure to the Queen attached and loyal sbbjects, and to United Canada a prosperous and contented people." FINE ARTS. POLYTECHNIC LCSTITUTION.-THE DISSOLVING VIE WS. We were favoured, on Saturday, with a sight of several new Dissolving Views, which were privately exhibited at this institution. The sud den and startling changes that take place in these views by the simple agency of light and shade, night almost induce one to believe that they were brought about by the wand of a necro mancer, or by the caprices of one of those genii of whose marvellous doings we have all read in the delightful pages of the' Arabian Nights." At one moment the spectator is gazing on the Palace of the Doge of Venice; the next, a dim mist slowly and stealthily creeps over the scene ; a mountain starts up, where but a second before there stood a solid pile of architecture ; the paved square becomes a lake, low down on whose rock-bound shore. appears the Castle of Chillon, immortalized by the pen of Byron. Before the eye has become fully familiarized with this wild, Alpine landscape—lo, another change ! Lake, rock, and mountain have disappeared, and you see the interior of the gloomy fortress, with two captives chained to pillars in the dungeon ! The colouring, and more particularly the per spective, of this picture are the most perfect illu sions we ever witnessed. The dull, discoloured brickwork of th<columns, arising from continual damps ; the dirty, mouldering floor, half earth, half stone ; the forlorn aspects and crouching attitudes of the . pining and sickly prisoners, who seem almost choked with the heavy, mephitic air of such a charnel-house ;—these various ob jects are pourtrayed with a truth of effect that seems little short of miraculous. While we gaze with an eye of pity on these captives—memory - carrying us back to the days of Bonnivard, who wore away twelve long years in this very fbrtress—their figures fade and become extinct, thegloonly cell, too, disappears, and we see, instead, the caves of Eldora, so often spoken of, in terms of astonishment and admira tion, by Oriental travellers. An instant, and these, also, have vanished, and we behold a noble steam-ship sailing over the broad bosom of the Atlantic. There arc several other Dissolving Views, but the above are the most remarkable, and the most cleverly executed. On the whole, the exhibition is the most interesting one at which we ever attended. It is like the realizing of one's most vivid and wildest dreams, and forcibly recals Shakspeare's noble lines, " The cloud-capt towers, the gorgeous palaces, itself, Yea, solemn temples, the great globe Yea, all which it inherits shall dissolve, And like the baseless fabric of a vision, Leave not a wreck behind." We understand that it is intended to prefer in dictments against Dr. Down and Mr. Samuel Silver Taylor, and several other chiefs of the Tory party, who wilfully and falsely answered the questions put to them before polling, notwithstanding they had long ceased to hold any qualification whatever within the borough. The case of the Reverend 1)r. Wilson, who, although at the present time living in lodgings, answered " Yes?' to the question asking him if he had the same qualification, viz., a house, &c., will also undergo investigation, with the view of taking some ulterior proceedings against the Reverend elector.—Southampton Paper. SOUTHAMPTON.—Contrary to our confident predictions for some weeks past, Southampton is become the prey of the Tories. It has been bought, openly and unblushingly bought, by T or y g old, and a majority ob tained by hard Tory cash. , That this was the case is too much a matter of notoriety to require any elaborate proof of its truth ; and we record a circumstance so dis graceful to the town, with deep shame, and a bitter con tempt for men who, entrusted by their country with one of the most important privileges a freeman possess, will yet for a little paltry pelf barter their own independence, and sell the interests of their c ountrymen.—Hampshire Independent. ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.—AD acci dent, likely to be attended with very serious conse quences, occurred on our railway yesterday (Friday) afternoon to the twelve o'clock up train. We hear that when near Basingstoke the axle of the tender suddenly snapped, and the engine parted from the tender. The concussion consequent upon it was so great as to corn pletely turn over all the carriages, and although there were !10 passengers in the train, we understand that no person received any injury,—Hampshire Independent. IMPORTANT FROM CANADA. We have received some interesting intelligence from King ston, the new seat of Canadian Government. His Excellency the Governor-General had completed all his arrangements.

The sales of Cotton are light. There is no change in Breadstuffs, and in fact nothing of importance done, as we are in the midst of an abundant rain, which commenced early in the morning, The news does not appear to have changed the condition of anything but Tea, which is of course higher, but how much is not yet determined. The impression is, that Canton Teas will stand at about 55 cents. A lot of low gunpowder offered yesterday at six cents, was sold this morning at 65 cents, but the advance is counted more than this generally. For Pork buyers now offer only $7 75c. to $9 75c., with but a very limited demand at any price. LOG OF THE GREAT WESTERN.

The Hanover Gazette, with a black border, contains the following notice : " It has pleased the disposer of all human events to-day, at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, to remove from this life the Most August and Illustrious Princess Frederica Louisa Caro lina Sophia Alexandrina, by the Grace of God Queen of Hanover, Princess of Great Britain and Ireland, Duchess of Cumberland, Duchess of Brunswick and Luneburg, &c. (born Princess of Mecklenburg, &c.) His Majesty the King, the Royal Family, and all faithful subjects, are hereby plunged in the deepest affliction. "After being confined to her bed for three months her Majesty expired from a decay of strength, constantly attended by the King, the Crown Prince, and the Duchess of Anhalt Dessau. Her Majesty will be ever remembered as a mother and Queen. " VON SCHELE. " Hanover, June 29." BRUSSELS, JULY 2.—The King and Queen, with the Duke of Brabant, and their Suite, are ex pected at Ostend on the 10th of this month. The Magistrates and the inhabitants are making pre parations to give their Majesties a brilliant re ception. As to the rumoured disposal of the Pa lace of the Prince of Orange, the following letter just received by the Emancipator will put an end to the discussion : " Several Journals having announced that the Palace of the Prince of Orange was let, I beg to contradict this assertion, and to assure you that the idea of letting it has never been entertained, and even that it never will be. " Be pleased to insert this in your next Num ber. (Signed) " DECOUX. " Director of the Domain and the Palace." M. Thicrs, late Minister and President of the Council in Fiance, arrived at Antwerp on the 30th of June. Several Englishmen residing nearliege have set out in all haste to take part in the elections in England. VIENNA, JUNE 23.—Prince Metternich intends to set out on the 4th and sth of July for Plass and Konigsworth, and afterwards to visit Jo hannisburg. Most of the foreign Ambassadors will leave Vienna for the summer, so that after the departure of Prince Metternich there will be a stagnation in political affairs. The quaran tine on the Austrian frontiers, to which passen gers and merchandise from the Turkish provinces have hitherto been subject, is not abolished, as has been erroneously supposed, but the time is considerably shortened. TURKISH FRONTIER, JUNE 17.—We learn from Nissa that the Commissioners appointed by the Porte to inquire into the late events in Bulgaria were daily expected there. The result of the in quiry may be foreseen, when we consider how decidedly the Turks and Christians opposed to each other in the late troubles, and how the Mus selmans always hang together in such conflicts. The proposal made to the Portc to appoint a mixed Commission of Rayahs and Musselmans could not possibly be acceded to at Constanti nople; it is certain, however, that if Reschid Pacha were still Minister, the Pacha of Widdin and the Pacha of Nissa would be obliged to re tire from their posts. _ _ _ THE HAGUE;JuNE 30.—His Majesty the King returned yesterday in good health from his tour in Guelderland, Limburg, Luxemburg-, and North Brabant. The Minister of the Interior has informed the Governors of the Provinces that the militia men of the levy of this year who are placed in the reserve are at liberty to take part in the ap proaching herring fishery, but in no case longer than till the Ist of March, 1842.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY') The sessions at the Old Bailey commenced this mor ning, before the Common Sergeant and other civic authorities. mop As soon as the Grand Jury had been sworn, the cor ra l, Sergeant delivered his charge. He said that as a fortnir; a ss had elapsed since they were last assembled, the cale il L - r nier consequently much smaller in point of number than an„ ho gh occasions, at the same time, he regretted to state that ,a " the calendar was numerically small, the offences were of 61 i v serious character. There was one which stood number of the calendar, being a charge of wilful murder against the name of 111‘Gharretty. It appeared that this . t los e been committed without any provocation, but this did not the crime ; as the law stood, it was not necessary to C O " - b e en wilful murder, that provocation should haveirsino previously given. There was another case 1 ,7 - 1 0 two women for the murder of Thomas Briggs, w ,: h .psr: seventy-four years of age. This case would require iat neo sis titular attention, but while they were examining the e‘'' c ot. they were to bear in mind that they were not trTiag i. s 4 beet* There were two eases of furious driving. The partie s ' e s k 10 !, called upon by several persons to stop, but they t hey, notice, and the consequence was that the offence of 'v ibe stood charged, was committed, and he should therefore ra t ting' mend them to find these bills. There was a case of c ; o igsr, and wounding, but from the depositions it did not nits what the instrument was that had been used, but to eon' e ar not e P o o the crime, in law, of cutting and wounding, it wasuartiershsjo sary that a sharp instrument should be used. T her i nste several other cases, but it was not necessary for bial to d o.. any remarks on them, as they were cases involving no culty. He should therefore dismiss them to their duties.
