Leave to bring in a measure of singular importance was last evening demanded of the Commons by the Under Secretary of the Colonies. According to the explanation of the projected Act given by Mr. Hawes, it will, if carried into effect, bring about a very considerable improvement in the government of Australia. Even Mr. G LADSTONE, though averse to many of the projected alterations of the Administra tion, could not but acknowledge that the Bill alto gether gave considerable promise of an advance in our colonial legislation. At a period when, otherwise, the Cabinet indicates a disposition not very far removed from that of administrative stagnation, such a measure as the one here explained by the Under- Secretary of the Colonies cannot but be most welcome to the community at large and in an especial manner to the inhabitants of Australia. Of such objections as the one raised by the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Christchurch we shall make no account whatever. That a mea sure of this description is in any degree prema. ture is altogether beyond the credence of those who have studied the Jise and progress of our most interesting settlement—in itself almost a con tinent. The only fact which is more conspicuous than another, on the face of such an improvement, is, that BO far from being premature, the scheme has been.- a gr .27t deal too long procrastinated. Nevertheless, in stead of wrangling over the tardiness or the precipi tation of the measure, it is the interest of every well wisher of our Australian Colonies to push forward the prek ct without any further delay, so that the present generation may reap the advantages of the change' as specdi!y as is practicable. As to the precise nature of the plan proposed by the ruling Government nothing further-remains to be said in explanation after the lucid and admirable speech de!ivered last night by the Honourable Mem ber for Kinsale—a speech which convey e d not only a very clear notion of the general characteristics of the measure, but which also, without incumbering the attention with . too many detail..:, unfolded iUSeveral particulars the mintdige of its working. To speak briefly and to the purpose, we may observe that the changes would effectua'ly bestow upon Australia the blessings of a new Constitution ; and this Constitu tion would be rendered one not only well adapted to the present exigencies of the colony, but would in like manner be capable of adapting itself to the variations of its own growth and expansion. With a power situated in the heart of the old world, such a capacity to change with the changes that may occur, is wholly essential to the stability of its fortunes. How much more, therefore, with a country in which everything is youthful—is not only youth ful—is literally nascent ! There the pliability of the governing force is more than ever requisite. There provision must be made, not merely for the wants already visible, but for those which have not rendered themselves perceptible even in the germ. To effect this the most readily, we must necessarily have recourse to the popular form of government—the Represcatative System ; and to that system, conse quently, the measure is especially directed. Each of the separate colonies of Australia will be empowered, by the Bill about to be introduced by Mr. HAWES, to elect certain members of a General Assembly for the whole Union—an assembly similar in character to our own Parliament, possessing an immediate control over the civil list (of course excepting in this instance the salaries of the Judges and of the Governor), and otherwise limited to objects affecting the collective interests of all the Austrian colo nies—namely, of New South Wales, of Van Diemen's Land, of Southern Australia, of Western Australia, and of Port Philip, which will be transformed by the Bill into a distinct colony under the title of Victoria. Beyond this the new Constitution will tend in another way very materially to advance the interests of the entire population by linking together what is at present divided ; in other words, by "creating a federal union for - all the colonies." Here, therefore, is a wide vista of improvements suddenly opened to our view, and in the direction, moreover, of the most remarkable of all the possessions of Great Britain ! Whether or not the scheme of the Russell Cabinet in reference to Australia shall receive the cordial ap proval of Parliament, it must be quite manifest to the community at large that in projecting any change of the kind the Government is labouring forward, upon one point at least, in the right direction. At the same time we cannot fail to recognize that, upon several particulars, the proposed arrangement re quires the most explicit explication. For instance, there was much truth in the remark made last evening by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford, that it was essential for the well- Leing of the colony and for the general advantage of the whole British empire that some satisfactory con clusion should be arrived at as to whether the Aus• tralian Legislature should consist of a single or a double Chamber. There is too much correctness, we admit, in the answer made to this observation by the Prime Minister, namely, that heretofore the system of a double Chamber has been found to work very badly in all our American colonies. Nevertheless, the fact that a double Legislature has not worked well with the Canadians is not an adequate reason of itself why it should not be conferred upon the Australians. The matter requires the serious scrutiny of both Houses before the British Parliament can arrive with safety at any permanent determination. Now that leave has been granted to bring in the measure an opportunity will be afforded the Legislature of subjecting the Bill to the most elaborate scrutiny; and when the subject comes regu larly under the consideration of the Commons, the members of the Administration will be enabled to explain themselves more at length as to the details of the new Australian Constitution. Whatever decision may be come to by the Lords and the Commons, the Administration has at length exonerated itself from the charge of being unconquer ably apathetic in regard to the most fruitful and ill cultured of all our colonial possessions. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1849. National Assembly in one point only, that it organizes a power in the empire of a stronger nature, and determines more perfectly the rights possessed by each particular state as regards the rest ; it satisfies the desire of his MAJESTY to reconcile the unity of Germany with the free move ments of individual states which are successively de veloped in the course of an age. This constitution imposes great sacrifices on his MAJESTY, from which it will be manifest that it was not from any selfish feeling that he rejected the constitution of Frankfort. The KING gives his assent to the new constitution, reserving expressly that it must have the assent of the Chambers. This document is signed " FREDERICK AUGUS- Tus, " and countersigned by his MAJESTY'S Ministers. It is dated from Konigstein. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Austrian garrison of Buda, consisting of 2,200 men and 80 officers, have been sent as prisoners to Debreczin. _ GORGEY'S dispatch announcing the victory was couched in three words—" Hurrah ! Buda ! Gorgey 1" 'The answer sent back was—" The thanks of the lie public to the Field-Marshal Lieutenant !" It is sup posed that the National Government will now adjourn to Pcsth. _ The fortifications of I3uda are to be destroyed. The Hungarians found in Buda the following stores : —B3 field pieces, 1,400 muskets, as many hundred weight of powder, and 2,000 cwt. of saltpetre, the whole of wbich have been transferred to Debreczin. The Russians are preparing to cross the Waag. The third reading of the Incumbered Estates (Ire land) Bill was carried last night by an overwhelming majority of 105, out of 129 Members present—twelve persons only having recorded their votes against the measure. It will therefore speedily become the law of the land, and Ireland may at length obtain the blessings of a solvent and unembarrassed proprietary. The natural results will undoubtedly follow. Capital will flow into the country, the soil will be fully and fairly cultivated, the natural capabilities of the island duly develop2d, awl it; first great want, adequately and fairly remunerated employmentfor the labouring population, completely supplied. Although many causes tended to produce the misery and dis• tress that has unquestionably existed throughout, the entire country, none perhaps operated more injuri ously than the condition in which landed property was held on the other side of St. George's Channel. There was a complicated system of entails and limi tations that prevented the free transfer of real estates from those who were unable, by reason of their pecuniary embarrassments, to discharge the duties incidental to the possession thereof', to others better qualified for that purpose, to men both able and willing to carry out permanent and lasting improvements alike beneficial to the owners, the occupiers, and the labouring population. The no minal proprietor had no power to effect real im provements, neither was it his interest to do so even if possessed of separate and independent fortune. He was tied down as to the leases he might be disposed to give, and could only let his land subject to certain conditions, which prevented him from obtaining a solvent and improving tenantry. No allowance whatsoever could be made for improve ments, however valuable. The interests of his younger children were altogether opposed to those of the heir and successor : the latter would be placed in a situation of comparative affluence, while his less favoured brethren, brought up and educated as gen tlemen, in the enjoyment of every comfort and luxury, would be reduced to poverty on the death of their father. Whatever could be set aside after providing for the annual expenditure would of course be ap plied for the benefit of those who possessed equal claims upon the heart of a parent, with the future head of the family. If money were available it would not be expended in increasing the value of the estate, which, under the most unfavourable circum stances that formerly existed, or until within the last few years it was supposed could have existed, would still afford a competent provision for the eldest son. But it would be wasted, in order to swell the attenuated portion of the junior branches. If changes or incumbrances affecting the estate were paid off by the tenant for life, they were never what was termed i n law " satisfied" or discharged, but me rel y assigned to trustees for the benefit of the party, in order that they might still survive against the estate, when the tenant in tail got into possession. Such was the state of affairs even in the rare and exceptional cases of the owner being perfectly free from pecu niary embarrassments and enabled to save a considerable portion of his annual income, and it must be obvious that no improvements could be effected. The welfare and prosperity of the pre sent generation were sacrificed, in order to gratify family pride, and to keep the representative and head of the house a great man—the inheritor of a large estate. But matters were a thousand times worse In . the more ordinary event of the party en ter' hg on the possession of a property sub ject to several charges and incumbrances. The condition of such a person was really pitiable. He was expected to maintain a high position in the district, to suit his expenditure rather to the nominal rental of his wide spread domains than to the actual surplus available for his own purposes. Improvements of course were wholly out of the ques tion. Tenants were screwed to the utmost to obtain the promise of rents that could never be paid out of the profits of the lands. • There was a gradually increasing deficiency, year after year, between the receipts and outgoings which, more hibernico, was supplied by raising new loans, which being only secured upon the life estate, and premiums of insur ance being added, were necessarily effected at an ex orbitant rate. Once entered upon the borrowing sy stem, the career became rapid indeed. For a short time the interest might be paid with some degree of punctuality ; but sooner or later default would take place. Bills were then filed in Chancery by the exasperated cre ditors, every device was resorted to to retard the proceedings, which occasioned an enormous amount of costs, and at length a receiver would be applied for and obtained, and the lands would pass into the buds of the worst possible managers—the officers of the Court of Chancery. Then, indeed, arrears would accumulate ; tenants that would pay their landlord, if enabled to do so, would try, by every means in their power, to put off the receiver, well aware that former good conduct, the improvement of the lands, the punctual settlement of the rent account, would constitute no claim to obtain a renewal at a letting under the Court. The occu piers would industriously seek to impoverish the land, or what is termed in Ireland "to break its heart," in order that others might not be tempted to take it over their heads, and they generally, we may say invariably, succeeded but too well. The receiver was wholly uninterested in the matter, provided the rents were paid with something like punctuality ; he cared little for the proper cultivation of the soil, the due succes sion of crops, or even for the collection of rents, provided he did not make himself per sonally responsible for default. His object was rather to make himself popular among the tenantry, and to obtain the presents and emoluments that are generally bestowed upon "the agent,'' if he will accept them under such circumstances. The deteriorated condition of the property placed in " Chancery," and the demoralization that prevailed in the locality, may be more easily conceived than described. Distress and destitution existed among the people, and all parties interested—landlords, tenants, and incumbrancers were alike injured. The effect of the new Bill will be to bring estates so circumstanced to a speedy sale—to set aside the cumbrous formalities, the tedious and expensive technicalities that now prevent a sale of the lands. It will confer a clear and unquestion able title on the purchaser—a title springing from a "new root," with a Parliamentary guarantee. The value of the lands will be materially improved, not only by the certainty but also by the simplicity of the new title; the interests of all persons concerned will be promoted because Parliament, for the first time has bad the courage to shake off the trammels and prejudices that have heretofore impeded beneficial legislation on this all-important subject. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They all comment on the recent Ministerial com binations. The National considers the acceptance of office by M. DUFAURE as a sort of betrayal of the moderate Republican parry. The Constitutionnel cannot disguise its ill-humour at the exclusion from the Ministry of Marshal BUGEAUD, whose mission, had he obtained a seat in the Cabinet, it would have been by wheedling the PRESIDENT, and alternately bullying, and intriguing against his colleagues, to prepare the way for the accession to offi ce of M. TniEas. We are not, therefore, surprised to find the Constitutionnel thus giving vent to the feelings of disappointment under which its tricky patron labours : " We have not yet much to say about the new Minis try. What strikes us is that Marshal Bugeaud forms no part of it. We regret it profoundly. No one in our opinion answered better the double necessity of the situa tion which may be expressed by two words—assistance and resistance. With Marshal Bugeaud the Cabinet would have acquired additional force. We should not have had any observation to make on the personnel of the Cabinet, if it were not that what has passed with regard to the election of President of the Chamber reveals a tendency on the part of a certain portion of the Moderate party to create for itself a distinct position. This fact having taken place, it is not easy to avoid remarking that the Ministry has taken the greatest part of its Members out of the smallest fraction of the majority. In this sense it is the Ministry of a minority ; it is a Ministry determined by the elections of Paris, but not by the el,c tions of all France." The Debats waits for the Ministerial programme before passing judgment on its policy. The programme was to have been produced in the sitting of yesterday, but in consequence of the objec tions taken by MM. DUFAURE and DE TOCQUEVILLE to one part of the Message in which it is declared that the French troops shall enter Rome bon gre mal gre, the presentation of the Message has been post poned; and a Cabinet Council was held yesterday, at which, after high words had passed among the Ministers, it was agreed to modify the objectionable passage, so as to meet the views of MM. DUFAURE and DE TOCQUEVILLE. There were rumours, how ever, rife in Paris last evening of a break-up of the new Cabinet. The Message, it is said, gives a complete exposi tion of the present social and political situation of the French Republic, and recommends the adoption of measures for improving the condition of the labouring classes, at the same time that it advises the immediate passing of severe measures of repres • sion of the liberty of meeting, of speech, and of the press. _ _ M. D'ANDRE, the chef de Cabinet to M. DROUYN DE I4IIUYS, has been appointed Minister Plenipoten tiary at Dresden ; and M. ItEmnAttnr, the present. Minister at Dresden, is appointed Minister at Swit zerland, in the place of General THIARS, who has resigned. The exposition of national industry and of the productions, both manufacturing and agricultural, of France, was opened yesterday. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, JUNE 4. THREE o'CLocK,—The Funds opened to day at no less than 1 per cent. above the closing prices of Satur day; but upon its becoming known that the President's Message had been postponed because the Ministers could not agree on the paragraph respecting the expedition to Rome, they immediately gave way, and closed at nearly Saturdafs prices.

The Prussian Official Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes a new electoral law fur Prussia. The fol lowing are its principal provisions : "See. I. The representatives of the two Chambers will be elected by dircct electors, in direct circles (wahl begirhen), and the direct by indirect electors (urwahlern) in circles for indirect election. " Secs. 5,6, 7. A wahlmann will be elected for each 250 souls, and when parishes do not contain the requi site number, two or more will be united to complete the minimum amount of 750 souls. The circles are then to be divided into thirds, each of which will elect one wahlmann or direct elector. " Secs. 8, 9. All independent Prussians net deprived of rights of citizenship by legal sentence, and who may have resided six months in any given parish, are eutt to vote as to - Iva/der (indirect elector), providing he be not in the receipt of public charitable relief. The standing army and landwebr shall vote wherever they be quartered, without regard to duration of sojourn. They will also be collected, if possible, in circles of 750. "Sec. 10. Tho urwahlur will be divided into three classes, according to the amount of direct taxes paid by each, so that a third of the collective sum of direct taxes will be apportioned to each class. This collec tive sum will be calculated according to parishes, when they constitute an electoral circle, or according to dis tricts where the electoral circle is composed of several parishes united. In case of individuals paying no direct Government tax, they may be rated according to the amount of direct parish contributions. "Sec. 12. The three sections will consist of-1, Those paying the highest direct taxes; 2. Those paying the largest quota after the former; and 3. Those paying the smallest sum. To this latter class will belong all those who do not pay direct taxes—that is, those who are entitled to vote by paying parish or provincial rates. "Sec. 18. Electors enjoy their priviliges during the whole duration of the legislative period for which repre sentatives are elected. " Sec. 29. All Prussians aro eligible to become re presentatives who have completed their thirtieth year, have not been deprived of rights of citizenship by legal sentence, and who have lived one year within the Prus sian territory. " Sec. 31. When a representative is elected he must declare whether he accepts or not, at once and without reserve. Conditional acceptance is not permitted. The total number of deputies to be elected amounts to 320. The elections for direct electors are to take place on the 17th of July. The Chambers are to meet upon the 7th of August." During the course of the Whitsun holidays there were several disturbances in the neighbourhood of Berlin; the unarmed citizens were, in many instances, attacked by the drunken soldiery with their side arms, and many of them were killed. SAXON Y. On the 31st ult. the KING addressed a proclama tion to his people, in which he sets forth the reasons that induced him to refuse to acknowledge the con stitution adopted by the National Assembly at Frank fort. His MAJESTY thought that, on the one hand, it was not of a natu re to establish on a durable b as i s the ' h a ppiness of the people of Cat rmany, an d , on t h e other, that it never could be put in force, see i ng that Prussia, the most powerful of th e G erma n St a t es , had rejected it. the Nation a l A ssem bl y rejected the principle of concert; it declined even to deliberate on the observations of the SOVEREIGN at the time of the second readbg. It was necessary, then, to adopt another mode of proceeding. The constitution promulgated this day is the result of the deliberations which have been held at Berlin between the Plenipotentiaries of his MAJESTY'S Government and those of Prussia and Hanover. j constitution varies from that adopted by the BAVARIA. Mumcir, MAY 30.—The Council of State held a sitting yesterday. By the de s i re o f A us t r i a, B avar i a should protest against the intervention of Prussia n the Palatinate. Couriers bearing this mes sage were seat off last night. Ki ng MAXI MILIAN, it is said, has received an auto graph letter from the King of PRUiSIA, which stated the necessity of harmony with the plans of Prussia. Movements of the Austrian troops have taken place in the province of Selzburg as far as Brigance. It is expected that the Austrians, combined with the Bava rians, will interfere in the Palatinate, and in the Grand Duchy of Baden.—Alkemeine Zeitung. ITALY. The Roman Triumvirate has ordered all the goods of the King of NAPLES ill the Roman territories to be sequestrated and sold, and the produce to be paid towards repairing the injuries inflicted on Roman citizens, and in order to prove to Europe and the world that the Roman Republic is actuated solely by a desire to secure her own liberties, and not by am bitious motives ; the Triumvirate have prohibited the Roman troops from penetrating into the Neapolitan territory. GARIBALDI, however, continues on the Neapolitan frontier (his head-quarters are at Terra cina) in order to prevent any fresh invasion by King BOMBA, who, it appears, in his flight from Velletri, narrowly escaped being made prisoner. Verily, the pet of the POPE hath, like his master, been chastened of late. _ _ On the morning of the 24th May M. DE LESSEPS addressed a letter from the French camp to the Roman Assembly, in which he expresses his readiness to continue communications with the Assembly, the dispatches from which may be forwarded to him, and will have his prompt and immediate reply. He then repeats what he had said in his former letter that the French Government had no wish or intention to force any particular form of government on the Roman people, nor was it their object to restore the past state of things in its original vigour. The only object he declares was to preserve the Roman people from whatever dangers might threaten them from other quarters, and to protect their laws and their liberty. He also denies that it was even the intention of the French commander, in the event of his entering Rome, to punish those foreigners and Frenchmen who had fought on the side of the Romans, who would be considered and treated completely as Romans. M. Mazzim has replied, in a very long and ela borate epistle to the dispatch of M. DE LESSEPS, but of which the pith and meaning appear to be summed up in the concludingspassages, which are as follow : " of all the propositions hitherto presented. fortThahtedgermeaant demand forms at fonrmstihsesut?rsist t a h n e d o p c a c r u a p m at o i u o n n t o e f Rome, ondition aitlie pe h o o p n le ou ‘ r vil o l f ne te v l e l r ing N yo o u w, th S a i t r, w , a h e t hives impossibly—thealdy h consent to it.

They see what has already taken place at Civita Vecchia, and dread a similar result, Their decision is irrevocable on this point. " There is, therefore, only three parts for France to perform in the Roman States. She must declare her self either for us, or against us, or neutr,l. To declare for us, she must formally recognise our republic, and fight by our side against the Austrians. To declare against us would be to crush, without any motive, the liberty and the nationality of a friendly people, and to fight on the side of the Austrians. The latter part France cannot adopt. She cannot either risk an European war to de fend us as an ally. Let her, therefore, remain neutral: that is all we ask. The occupation of Civita Vecchia is un fait accompli; be it so. Lot her keep it, and let her even extend her cantonments in the healthy part of the country, but let her be strictly neutral, without any. arriere pensee. Let her not close the ports against the arrival of any allies who would come to our assistance. Let her remove all sign of her troops from before cur walls, and let even the appearance of all hostilities cease between two nation s w h o are doubtless intend, d to be one day united in th e same international bt . lief as m th e e n. they are now by the adoption o f th e same f orm of govern- Tha latest intelligence f rom Ci v i ta V ecch i a states, that the armistice had terminated, and that the French were preparing again to attack Rome. The French force amounted to 25,000 men, and they had sent s o me heavy artillery up the Tiber. The attack on Rome was to be made on three points, but as the city was strongly barricaded, and was defended by 80,000 men, the result was consi dered extremely doubtful. Ancona still held ou t, according to the last account. The Austrians at Leghorn and Bologna amuse themselves by making a human battue in the streets, wherever two persons are seen together they are at once shot down. The Cabinet of Turin h as re f use d to accede to the demands of Austria for the delivery to RADETZKY of all her fortresses on , the Fr enc h f ront i er, and of the city of Genoa. 11 ill Fran ce support t h e Ki ng of SARDINIA in this refusal ?

The Monitore of Florence of the 27th of May, pub lishes the following list of the new Tuscan Ministry : Leonido Landucci—lnterior. Cresar Capoquadri—Justice. Andrea del Principi Corsina—Foreign Affairs. Mazzei—Ecclesiastical Affairs. The Marquis Bomella—Public Instruction. Count de Langier—War. The first act of the new Ministry was to replace the tricolour flag by the standard of Tuscany. GiJERAZZI has been conducted to Volterra, on the demand of the French Ambassador, to save him from the fury of the Austrians. SICILY. General FILANGIEIU on the 7th of May published in Palermo the p romised amnesty. It is somewhat too liberal i n one point, inasmuc h as it pardons fully and freely a ll cr i mes o f whatsoever nature committed since the 12 t h J a nuary, 1 848 , whether political or otherwise ; so that thieves, robbers, and mur derers are admitted to the benefit of it as well as political offenders; but it is not complete, for all the great men who, during the recent revolution took upon th emse l ves the responsibi▪ lity of organizing a Governme n t of assembling t he P a r l iament, of maintaining order and a respect for t he laws — who, in fact, have throughout, been acting strictly legally, and opp os i ng the excesses o f the mob as firmly as th ey opposed the illegal excesses of the KING, have b een proscribed.

Tho Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm and active. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500 American for export and on spe culation.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business dune; prices, however, have an upward tendency. The remainder of the accounts by the Overland ex press have been received to-day, and are favourable on the whole, though the news from China is rather ominous, aid leads to the fear that a collision must occur when the gates of Canton are to be opened to foreigners. The steamer from Halifax has arrived. The money market at New York was buoyant, and the exchange on London firm at 1081 to 1081. A local journalist ob serves:-- " It appears from the records of the Commissioners of Emigration that nearly thirty thousand immigrants from Europe have arrived at this port alone, during the pat three months of the present year. This single fact will enable those who have not paid minute atten tion to the subj..et, to judge of the vast accessions which are now made to the population and industrial resources of the United States, from foreign sources. Ireland contributes the largest proportion of this influx of physical wealth. From a table compiled from the records of the Commissioners of Emigration it appears that the immigration during the first three months of the last year and the present, from the prin cipal nations of Europe, was as follows :- 1848. 1849. ... 9,414 18,589 ... 2,005 3,846 Ireland England ... . . Germany 2,774 3,631 France ... 399 280 The navigation-laws aro now to be considered in the light of a fait accompli, but it must be interesting to cite instances of approval in the colonies. At a meet ing held in Canada resolutions were passed to the effect that : " Inasmuch as the restrictions imposed upon us by these laws and the partial closing of the St. Lawrence against foreign vessels, prove, in their effects, most detri mental to the commerce and to the essential interests of the Province; it is therefore the opinion of this meet ing, that the people of this colony have a just claim upon the mother country to be relieved from those one , rous restrictions. " That this meeting, from fUrther experience acquired in the season just closed, see the most powerful reasons to reiterate what was urged by their fellow-citizens at the public meeting already referred to, viz:— " That there is the strongest ground for apprehension, should the British navigation-laws (so far as they affect this province) continue in force after the protection to Canadian grain and flour in Great Britain is with drawn, that the bulk of the produce, both of the western States and of Canada West, will be sent to ports of the United States for shipment, notwithstanding the superior advantages in economy - of transport which the internal communications of Canada pos,ess, but which are fully counterbalanced by the greater cheapness of ocean freight in the United States, and that the navigation laws will thus be ren dered inoperative as regards their main object, that of protection to British shipping, whilst they will exercise a most baneful influence alike over that portion of our revenue derived from public works, and over the inte rests of every individual connected with the trade and commerce of the country. " That this meeting have duly considered the Bill To Amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement of British Shipping and Navigation, prepared and brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Bernal, Mr. Labou chere, and Lord John Russell, and ordered to be printed on the 16th August last ;' and al though they desire to refrain from any ex pression of opinion with regard to the merits of the Bill, so far as they affect the general interests of the empire; yet, conceiving that it fully meets the wants and just claims of the province, inasmuch as it proposes t i leave us free to employ foreign or British vessels, at our option, in our commerce with the United Kingdom and other nations, and to concede to the provincial Legislature the power to regulate our coasting trade, and inland navigation, as it may deem best for the general good, hail the measure in this latter sense pith satisfaction, and trust that the urgency of our case will be duly appreciated by her Majesty's Government, and the Imperial Parliament, this meeting being convinced that the provisions of the Bill, so far as they relate to Canada, are indispensable for the restora tion of prosperity to this colony."
