the commencement of tht duty on foreign Wool had been pos , ponetl till 10th Octohei, abliotie,ll ite'llad been assured by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ti at they should commence trom sth July. The CHANCRLLOB fO. the 1 % .....XCHFCLUER said the alteration was B lade in consequence of vet) , strong representations from the parties interested in the subject. Mr. SUMNER explained. Mr. WU.B2BFARCII expressed some 3 pprelien tions that the imposition of a new tax on wool would be found injurious to the manufactures without benefiting the agricultur3l interest. Mr. GIDDY GILBERT thought the tax watt ne. cessary for the epcouragernent of the agricultural interest. Mr. Et.t.los was against the tax, pad was thank ful to the Chancellor of the Exchtsper for post poning the time when the duty should commence. Mr. FORBES opposed the lax. Lord Lase,lles, Mr. Seheffoer, Mr. Finlay, and a Member whose name could nut be learnt, spoke against the tax. Mt. IL SU?dNEA explained. Atter a few words twin Mr. IVEsTsaN ant! Mr. G:npv, • Mr. S. WORTLP? moved as an amendment, that the clause for the Dew duty on wool be omitted. After a few words from Mr. SUMNgR, the antvodnient was negatived wi;hout a division. The Report of,the Bill - WfiS agreed to, and the 13111 ouleted to be read N third time this day. On the Order of the Day for the Committee of Way• anti Menus BM, Air. CALVERT objected to proceeding to further business of such importance at so late all hour. Nit.. C. HUTCHIsSoN mole the same objection, and complained that the Chancellor of the Ex chetrier had brought forward a question relative to Ireland on a former day, at an hour when It ish Members were not present. The CBANCELLoR of the EXCHECi,UER said that it was of course- impossible to fix any particular tour for Irish business. he House then went into the Committee of IVAys and Means, in which a resolution for the Annuities WAS agreed to.—Report to-day. The other Orders of the Day were then dis posed of, and the House adjourned at flall.past o'Clock. EAST INDIA HOUSE.

Leave vemt given to bring in a Bill to improve the Navigation between the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and the said Bill was read for the first and second time and committed. The Chairman of the Committee, to whom was referred the Artielei of Impeachment against the Llooourable Mr. Justice BEDAtio, reported that the Committee, after having considered the Articles referred and the evidence in support thereof, is of opinion that the said Charges are altogether unfounded. The said Report was referred to a Committee of the whole On Thursday. MONTREAL, MAY 14 —We lean) there are about 70 souls, mostly Canadians, preparing to set out ft om this place on the 25th inst. for Lord SELKIRR'6 Settlement, on the raver Rouge. The num* of eettlers,, even at this time, it is said, amount to about .500. An in-elligent Canadian, in easy eircutnltanCes, with whom we conversed, and who goes thither with the before-mentioned settlers,' with all his family, says he passed a winter there, when engaged in the fur trade, and reports it to be a fertile country, and a climate mods milder than that of Canada. Thus there is every appearance that this Colony, in the course of time, will become populous and flou rishing. The Swift steam-boat is intended to make a voyage, early in the summer, from Buff,llo, on Lake Erie, to Michilimakcnac, for the conveyance of company. The trip has so near a resemblance to the famous Argonautic Expedition, in the heroic ages of Greece, that expectation is quite alive on the subject. The Earl of LIVkRPOOL, with hit - Usual solicitude to give all proper information to, the Public; in order to prevent all mistakes, took the opportunity last night of explaining more fully what he had said a few nights ago on the subject of any future Loan that might be deemed necessary. His Lordship then distinctly stated that no future Loan would be required if the Peace should continue, except to provide for five millions next year, for the par pose of making good the ten millions yvhich the Committees of both Houses of Parliament had• re commended to be repaid by the Goverument to the Bank.—The Noble Lord also gave another satisfactory piece. of information in answer to Lord HOLLAND, who asked if there was any in tention of repealing 'the Act making Bank Notes a sufficient tender in certain cases. The Noble Earl declared that there was no such intention.— The convenience of Paper Currency, supported by the known solidity of the Bank, and under the vigilant eye of Government, is so great, that no doubts should remain upon a subject so irate= resting to a Mercantile Community. HAYmAnKr.T.—The Drury-Lane Troop at Ibis place proceed posperonsly. The Mountain.eers was represented last night before a numerous audience. RAE performed Octavian wilh a rate of ability which he had no opportunity of displaying in the vast area of Drury-Lane Theatre, awl ptoved that the nearer his efforts are examined, the wore will they he approved. The dramatic Sketch of Sylves ter Dagger:road followed, in which.t he same person who pertSrmed the part lately at Drury-Lane assumed it again last night. There was no want of diverting eccentricity, and close imitation of other Performers. But mimicry begins to pall, and will he disgusting, if applied to natural de fects or tinfortonate deprivations. The farce of Ad the World's a Stage, enabled MuNneN to aifurd 111;41) treat to the audience in the ludicrous part of Diggory. Mr. EmAsTON, it seems, had been recently in treaty for purchasing the Haymatket Theatre, since the abdication of Mr. CoLMAN, but the or gociation had not been attended with success. It is now stated, that he has actually entered. into an agreement to form the management of Drury lane Theatre at the annual rent of ten thousand pounds for fourteen years." If so t according to report, this adjustment will lead t o the s t -ee9sloti of Mr. KEAN trout that Theatre, and his probable trip to America.

EDITOR—These rait--awful times. The spirit of Revolution is abrgad, and who can tell where kw mischiefs Much dependi on the upper classes of Society. While thestilidille and lower ranks suffer severe privations and most deplorable distress, and see their superiors revel liug luxury and licentiousness, the latter must expect to be viewed with detestation, and they are rapidly preparing their own ruin. The profli gacy which too much prevailed among the higher tanks in France contributed, a great degree, to precipitate the Revolution which spread misery over that country, shook the whole political fa bric of Europe, and will be felt in its conse quences as tong as the existence of secietv. The Register - of Fashion Which your Paper daily in serts may be gratifying to many of your lighter Readers, but must excite feelings of envy and mortification among those who, instead of tasting the luxuries of li!e, are denied its mere necessa ries. The Sabbath ought to be aPpropriated devotion in the day, and to serious contemplations in the evening ; but it we pass through any parts of what is called the Fashionable End. of the Town, what do we see but streets so 'thronged with the vehicles of osteoktetioes pride, that those for or dinary convenieuce can with difficulty proceed. The windows of the Affluent appear in loxutions splendor, and every thing denoting an toter for- , gettulness of the day is glaringly obvioue. The streets are more frequented on a Sunday night than on any other, and, consequently, the iudeeent . aspect of unreflecting gaiety which I have no ticed, is more likely to incur the censure of peo ple in general, and to excite their contempt and holignation against those who appear to be their superiors in wealth only, but their inferiors in good sense and the proper decorums of life. For many years a certain Countess has been distin guished for pre-eminence in the career of expen sive folly, and will prolfably expire amidst the sickening odour of her perfnmes'and the noxious heat of her tapers. Her example long ago spread profaneness and dissipation over the Fashionable World, and she has had too many followers, who have brought comparative indigence on their fa milks. But it is not generally known that there has lately existed, an imitative profligacy which shocks all decency, and even demands.the rigiotr of sumptuary laws. Whenever a grand partphas been given in an evening by some constrictions .character in the upper reeks of life, a similar treat has tak , n place a few nights alter at a Tavern, the company consisting merely of the higher or der, if I may use such a term, of Women of the Town, the younger branches of Nobility, and what are stiled Men of Fashion. Several of these profligate festivals have been recently held, the most costly luxuries are profusely pro vided, and though the invitation is given by 'some distinguished Luis of the day, en each occasion her Keeper, or Protector, as the delicate language of the day stiles these abandoned Libertines, has paid . the expence, and conseqeently prepared the way for his own ruin. Some of these. Festivals, as I have before stated ; have been lately•given ; and to spread the contagion of licentiousness an d dissipation, Visitors were admitted upon paving a large price for a tiLket, and nothing butescenes of wantonness might be expected of course to ensue. This is no invention, Mr. Editor, tligtigh perhaps I shall be considered a - s a canting Metho dist, or one of what the seditious tootimmoral Writers of the day stile Saints and Hypocrites; be cause they hold in, reverence Religion, Virtue, and Good Order. Can such a state of things last ? No—if the upper ranks of Society do not'attend to the Signs of the Times, they will poll down de struction upon theMselves and the Country. Let them set a good example=—let them, instead of wasting their thousands upon luxury, appropriate some of them to- the relief of Distress. The ge neral hotly of the People are chiefly sehject to the heavy, but, unavoidable, pressure of taxes, and without reflecting on the ,necessary expenses of Government, they arc too apt to look with envy and hatred on those who, possessieg affluence, must least feel the weight of those taxes. It is said, and perhaps with too much truth, that, Ministers are ana.ions to-revive a Paopeoery Tax as most likely to relieve the Country, and to ope rate chieflyam those wttio . are best able to bear it, but that theYare afraidtto propose the renewal of such an equitable impost„ lest 'they should lose many of the i r? SiVpapbrtets i_ o.. ,hotlf Houses of Par lianient,; If this:-be a' feet., we - have to lament the ' Want of, aech energy, &Innen . , and •wi3ilorne 83 'would secure tb .

I should - anticip.at e the rejection of this letter it Iliad not seen e spirit of independence in your et-deniers; which thews,ithat though you are the decided advocate and strea.mos friend of Government, yet that you so act be cause you believe that Ministers ate really anxious for the welfare of the Country.
