' Lord John Russell last nit lit moved for leave tc bring in a 13:11 for the prevention of bribery and treat, at elections. His Lordship had previously stated , • in the debate on the Ludlow writ, the leading provi. sloes of the measure, to which we drew public attention at the time. The Noble Lord now announced his in tention to introduce into it a provision, that if bribery or treating were practised before an election, the ad verse candidate might give notice that his opponent was committing those offences, and that either the bribery or the treating, if afterwards proved before the Com mittee, should unseat the one canditate, and substi tute the other, in the same way as where notice is given that a candidate wants the requisite qualifica tion. We hail with approbation this attempt to stay the plague. The necessity of applying immediately some chece. to the prevailing practices by which the purity and freedom of election have been rendered a mockery, and by which, it allowed to proceed, the old system of boroughmongeting will be re toned under a new forte, is now admitted by vel who are not either the bribers or the bribed. We are by no means sanguiee as to the efficiency of the proposed measure : its Failure, should such be the result, will, however, demomerate yet more clearly the inveteracy of the disease, and convince those who are most opposed to other meesures, such as the Ballot, of the necessity of their adoption. (From the Standard.) We regard with great suspicion the proposition of Mr. Hiatt for the appointment Cl" a Committee upon the griading of bonded corn, and must, therefore, regret that the motion of the Han. Member was successful. Prima fade the object is too trifling to excite touch interest, f not 4 i"g znifair is contemplated, but there appears to be a very great anxiety to carry the point ; and therefore it is that suspicions are awakened. A loose permission to grind corn in bond would practically repeal the Corn laws, but a strict and efficient guard over the operation would seem to leave the indulgence worth nothing. A great deal will, of course, depend upon the construction of the Committee selected, but we anticipate nothing from its labours, but more or less of disappointment to the parties moving the quevion. If the Commit tee try to obtain an opportunity of smuggling foreign corn into domestic consumption—as if the nia• jority are mill-owners or money-jobbers, they certainly will—no Bill recommended by them will ever become a law ; if, on the other hand, the Committee provide that. no more than is ostensibly :asked for shall be ob tained, they who expect a great deal more than osten sibly they ask for will be grievously disappointed—and they, we believe, are the movers of the question. In short, the Committee appears to us to be incapable of doing any material good, and it tnay do mischief. (From the Courier.) We have, perhaps, more frequently than most of our daily contemporaries, approached questions bearing on Colonial affairs, those referring to Canada more espe cially, and we have ever endeavoured to come to their consideration without party bias in any shape or colour, being entirely of accord with the Times of this morning in the opinion often expressed heretofore in the Courier, that the Canada Union Bill, as any other vitally affect ing colonial interests, " is not, or ought not to be, a part) measure." It is in this spirit that we trust to see the Canada Union Bill discussed this evening on both sides of the House. The time is clearly come when some decisive action must be taken one way or the other in respect of a final settlement of the constitutional forms under which the Caeadas are to be governed for the future, and this necessarily involves the solution of the main difficulty which must be encountered at starting, whether those two great provinces shall remain separate as at present, with distinct and often conflicting Legis latures, which naturally beget, what never should have existed or have been tolerated from the first, prejudices or interests really or a pp arent l y as conflictingand in jurious, or whether by a fusion into one compact body an attempt should not be made to create a more har monious and homogeneous system of legislation and ad ministration. BRITISH . GUIANA. M. GLADSTONE said, in answer to a question of his the other night, the Noble Secretary for the Co lonics. had declined to produce a despatch to the G. nernor of British Guiana, respecCng the incre.l3 , :il Civil List. By th 2 last mail pap em had arrived, which were already printed, arid before the public., coatainio the despatch in question. ‘Vould the Nuble Lord noir have any objection to produce the despatch with such oilier papers as he might tiiinh expedient ? Lord J. RUSSELL, said he had not yet heard from the Governor, and he should wish to wait. Mr. GLADSTONE asked if no despatches had ar rived by the last mail'; Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to reply in . the affirmative. well'are of time Canadas ; in tie second place, to maintain inviolate the connection' between the Ca nadas and the parent State, which was the earnest de sire of the loyal portion of the inhabitants of the pro vinces ; and he was perfectly certain that the Noble Lord would join heartily with him in dec,iring the at tainment alas third object, which was to provide for the welfare and prosperity of the loyal portion of the people of Canada ; the great majority of whom were ret:dent in the Upper Province. These were his object?, and E believed that the Bill of the Noble Lord then on the table of the Home would he fatal and destructive to time 'whole of them. The first objection he had to the Bill was founded upon the enormous geographical extent of the country included in the two Canadas. He doubted wheth er it would be found possible to govern such an erior mous extent of country by one single executive.— ! ( Hear, hear.) Was the House aware that the • length of Canada in which our countrymen had settled amounted to not less than between 11,000 and 12,000 miles ? Was the House aware that the length of Ca nada was nearly or it inieht be as great as that of the Chinese empire, w ith 350 millions of inhabitants ? He believed be might add, that the length of Canada, from east to west, was as great as the whole of the United States from north to south ; and if they considered the length of the boundary of the fron tier between Canada and the United States, he would be guilty of no exaggerati on if h e s t a ted it at 1,800 miles. - He would refer the House to the unfortunate circumstances that had recently occurred in that country, and the disposition of the inhabitants of the United States to avail themselves of any difficulties or troubles that might arise ; and he would ask them whether it was saf e o r practicable to allow that enormous extent of boundary to be expoeed with only one Executive. His belief was that instead of uniting the two provinces it would he far wiser to divide the Canadas into three, and have executive bodies in each. Another feature in that branch of the subject was, that not only was that country `o gigantic in extent, but for half-a-year it was imprac ticable, and could not be travelled. The likes and waters were frozen, and meads were impassable. and if there was only one Legislature, it. would be impossible for the Members, without great inconvenience, to attend, owing to the prodigious distance from the frontiers, to the central town. On that part of the subject, namely, the inconvenience that would arise from the enormous extent of Canada, he begged shortly to refer them to the opinion of an authority which he wes sure would be treater; with respect ; he meant Chief Justice Robinson of Upper Canada, and who enjoyed the respect of ail parties in that province. The Honourable Member then read the extract, which stated that any per son who, like himself (Chief Justice Robinson) annu ally traversed large portions of Upper Canada, .could speak positively to the great inconvenience which would attend such an arrangement. If it were at tempted the change could not pass, and the in convenience it would give rise to could scarcely be over-rated. He would also refer the Noble Lord to a despatch of Sir John Colborne (Lord Seaton), dated August, 1839, in which his Lordship stated that ho should recommend that the Governor, or Viceroy, be empowered to a ppoint Deputy Go vernors to reside at Toronto, to act under special instructions from the Governor or Viceroy. Now he would not enter into the question whether or not this plan recommended by the Chief Justice would be a convenient plan, but he thought great difficulties must arise from the vast geographical extent of the country. He would furthe r add, ho believed there was not in all the world a parallel of any colony equal in extent to the Canadas being governed by one Executive ; and he believed, further, there was no instance, except Russia and China, of any indepen dent country of so prodigiou s an extent as the Canadas being governed by one Executive. But he passed from this position of his argument to that most important ques tion which Parliament were now called on to decide --the importance of which could not be over-rated, it being a question on which the future welfare of the Canadas de pended.—(Hear, hear.) That question was, whether, looking to the population of Canada, to the comparative number of the two races by which the country was inhabited, to the recent events by which the country had been disturbed, and to the nature of the Bill which the Noble Lord had laid on the table of the House, it was possible an union so arranged could conduce to the welfare of the province—whether a united Legislature so constituted could carry on the Government of the country either with advantage to the Canadas or to the fur therance of the connexion between them and the mother country? In discussing this most important branch of the subject the House would allow him to refer to the high authority of Mr. Pitt—an authority only liable to this one question—whether an opinion expressed in 1791, when advocating the separation of the two colonies, was of equal application to the pre sent state of affairs. This was a question the House must decide. He found in one of the speeches of Mr. Pitt, urgin g the seperation of the Canadas into two colonies, the following passage :—" If the pro vince were not divided there would he only only one House of Assembly, and there being two parties equal, or nearly equal, these would surely be divided into factions, and one party being much stronger than the other, the latter would complain they ware op pressed." But Mr. Pitt cont em pl ate d the two races being equal, or nearly equal, in which case there would be partial fictions ; or the one being stronger than the other—in which case one would be oppressed— The passage which he had just quoted showed the greatest foresight on the part of Mr. Pitt. That passage could not refer to the state of Canada then, for the British population at the time formed but an extremely small proportion of the inhabitants of those countries. It was evi dent, therefore, that Mr. Pitt, in expressing bis opinion, looked to a distant period. Mr. Pitt pro ceeded to say that he believed there would be a con flirt of interests in such a House of Assembly as he had alluded to, and as parties would be nearly balanced there the consequ nee would be, for a great many years, a series of animosities and contentions. He (Mr. P.) would next refer to another authority, if possible equal to that of Mr. Pitt—he meant that of Mr. Burke— who made a statement which he thought was still nmore applicable to present circumstances than the language of Mr. Pitt. Mr. Burke says, "that an attempt to join two people dissimilar in laws, in language, and in man ners, appeared to be altogether absurd—that an attempt to join the conquerors and the conquered would give rise to many conflicts and dissensions, and that he would not recommend a system which could only promote anarchy." The Noble Lord, however, was making an attempt precisely similar to that which had been con demned by Mr. Burke. He was attempting to join a people dissimilar in laws, in language, and in manners. And what were the circumstances under which the Noble Lord was about to make that attempt ? When Mr. Burke used the language in question, he was not speak ing after a civil war, but thirty years after the conquest of Canada had been effected. What was the case now ? The disaffected party in Canada had been discomfited, it is true, but not com pletely conquered. A civil war had taken place, not 80 years ago, but almost at the present day. While the blood that was shed had hardly been dried, and while the fires that were lighted had scarcely been extinguished, what hope of good, he would ask, could be expected for the measure proposed by the Noble Lord under such circumstances? In order to give the House addi tional information on that subject, he would mention the number of disaffected in the two provinces.— (Hear, hear, hear.) The entire population of the provinces amounted, according to the Noble Lord opposite, to 1,100,000, and 450,000 of the number formed the French minority. He would refer the House to the authority of Lord Durham with regard to the character of that minority.—( Hear, hear.) Lord Durham's mission to Canada had been unfortu nate for Canada, unfortunate for England, and un fortunate for the Noble Earl himself.--(lnterruption.) Lord Durham's R e p or t was a t i ssue of misrepresenta- I tion.--(Cries of " Hear, hear," from Mr. C. Buller, and ironical cheers from Mr. Hume and other Ho nourable Alembers ) He stated not an opinion, but a fact, when he said that in every important particular the Report had been disproved.—(Hear.) With, this caution he would quote Earl Durham on the almost only point on which he had not been shown utterly mis taken, and that was as to the feeling of animosity between the two races in Canada. 'rho Noble Earl stated that the French and English races were divided, not only as two w r it ers h o ldi ng diff eren t opm nions, but with contrary objects ; that their animosity had been heightened by the exasperation of the blood shed attendant on a contest ; that it would be as constant as intense, and that never would the British population submit to time House of Assembly, in which the French party possessed, or approximated to, a majority. Did the Noble Secretary fur the Colonies coincide in the correctness of these statements, or were they as hasty and unfounded as the rest of the Report? If correct, why did the Noble Lord attempt to throw the population of Lower Ca nada as a weight and an incumbrance upon the loyal inhabitants of Upper Canada? Was not the experiment too fearful to be tried ? It was utterly fal lacious to estimate the relative positions of the two races merely by their numerical force.—(Hear.) He was not aware whether any of the friends of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny hail died suddenly in Lower Canada, but he knew that several of them had run away from that province, to avoid the most unpleasant description of sudden death.—(A laugh.) But there was still re Paining in Canada a considera ble section of persons who were opposed to " the bane ful domination of the mother country." The Report of Lord Durham was working considerable mischief in the Canadas, and could any body doubt that the minority of disloyal persons in Upper Canada would return their fair share of representatives, who would make common cause with the representatives of the French Canadians in the Lower Province, so that there would be a formidable minority in the new Legislature. Was there not ample ground for dissatisfaction ? He would remind the House of what the principal causes of dissatisfaction in Canada were alleged to have been. The first ground of complaint was the want of what they called a responsible Govern ment; the second was, that the Legislative Council should be made elective ; - and the third was, that the total reve nue of Canada should be placed under the control of the EGYPT AND SYRIA. Mr. FECTOR zn.:ked if there was any hope of Dr. 13ov:ring's: Report relative to Egypt and Syria being laid on the table of the House, and is an u;imutilattd sate.—( Laughter, and hear.) Lord PA LM ERS TO N said he could so far console the Honourable MemLer as to state that the Report had been returned to Dr. Bowring for the purpose of his superintending- the printing of it. He ( Lord l'alinerston) had, however, been compelled to strike out some short pa sages in the Report, containing poli tical speculations of the Author, considering that if the Doctor wished to write a pamphlet about his own odinions upon political matters he ought not to do it at the public exponse.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The Report, hotycver, would contain every information of a commer cial nature. FVF.".TING EDITION. legisletiee body. New had any one of those measures been connected? Quite the reverse. The Bill before the House distinctly refused what was called the responsibility of the Geyer:orient. It refused to make the Members of the Executive Council elective, and on the contrary enacted that they should hold their offices for life. And instead of giving the House of Assembly the control of the revenues, 75,000/. were entirely taken awey from the control of that body. He did not blame the Noble Lord for net making these concessions. On the contrary, he thought the Noble Lord was quite right ia refusing them. There remained, therefore, those three grounds of discontent, which would raise an opposition of such power that the Government would find it very difficult to con tend with it. He would not speak of what new sources of dissatisfaction might arise ; but be would take the House of Assembly as if it were convened in this present year, 1840, and he would ask, could any man Heine sire .dertake to say that in the very first Session the House Yeoeld not declare itself in favour of dissolving the connec tion 'tie Great Britain ? The Hon. Member then read from a tteeeatch cf Sir G. Arthur, dated the 15th of Oc tober, an extract, to the effect that in the then state cf populae feeling in the Provinces, both amongst the Re prellicans t eel the Royalists, it was wise of her Majesty's Gevermeen, not to press the measure of the Union at that time. He next referred to an authority which he was cer tain would be :is teived with respect, that of Sir F. Head. He would take that opportunity of expressing his opinion with regard to thts services of Sir Francis Hi ad, and with out ‘Nlilill t eT to cast the slightest doubt on the great value of the services of reord Seaton, he had no hesitation in sayine. that it was his decided opinion that the country was itidebted to the greit moral struggle of Sir Francis Head in 1836, for the possession of the Canadas at the present moment.._( Cries of " Oh, oh," from the Minis terial benches, answered by cheers from the Opposition.) He was sure he need notremind the House of the value of the services of Sir Francis Head, or et' the weight due to his opinion. In one of his despatches he had reported to the Government, and mere recently he bad published his opinions to the country in another shape, Gad had offered the strongest opposition to the union of the tirq provinces, which he stated in his opinion would be attenzied with the most disastrous consequences. He had another ob jection to the proposed union, and before he called the attention of the House to that part of the subject, be wished to advert to a recent despatch of Governor Pou lett Thomson—he twain the despatch which ac companied the Clergy Reserves Act, in which he said that among the evils which had afflicted the Lower Pro yhice, almost the only ene from which they had been hi therto fee had been religious dissension and in the other in which he had transmitted the order relative t o th e sem i s nery of St. Sulpice, he had stated the same op:nion. Now he would ask if they were rot incurring a great risk, if they pasted th's Bill for the union of the Provinces, of in. trootreing a most fatal source of religious dissension into that country, from which Mr. Poulett Thomson said they had hitherto been fortunately free. The great tnejhrit,i of the people of the Lower Province were Ro man Catholics—while the majority of the people of the Upper Province were Protestants, and the effect of the union would be to make the Protestants and Catholics as nearly as possible equal in the two countries; and he felt that they were not only introducing a certain source of bitter animosity, bat, looking to the great wealth of the Catholic Church in Lower Canada, and to the destitution of the Protestant Church in Upper Canada, he feared that in the event of the union the Protestant Church of that country would be destroyed ; and this he thought ought to be a suiject of grave consideration with the House b e f ore they gave their consent to the Bill of the Noble Lord. In confirmation of that opinion he would cite the protest of the Bishop of Toronto with regard to the Clergy Reserves Bill, in which that Prelate points out that such must be the inevitable result of the union of the Pre e i nce ,„ The Hon. Member then read the protest of the Bishop of Toronto. Such were the strong terms in which the Bisbep of Toronto protested against the uniee o f t h e two C anadas, in consequenc e o f the destructive bearing that union weuld have upon the Protestant Church in Upper Canada. He had already occupied the House at considerable length, but he would not split this subject without adverting to the. arguments that had been brought forward in favour of the measure by the Noble Lord opposite, and others. One of the arguments of the Noble Lord was the necessity of de fendieg the interests of the loyal population in Lower Ca nada. lie did net tee the force of that argument, becauee he was convinced that whatever course was necessary to put an end to the disturbances in that country, the inhabi tants of the Lower Province would most willingly agree to i t , b ut th e y were convinced that the union of the two provinces would not effect that object. Another argument was the necessity of instantly returning to a renresentative Government in Lower Canada. Now he (Me. P.) denied that there was any necessity for that. Trey were bound to look to the interests of the loyal inhelsitants, and if re presentative Government was injurious to them, it ought not to be established. It therefore appeared to him that they would be premature, and following a false policy, to establish a representative Government in Lower Canada. Their policy had been too great conciliation. What favour had they shown to the loyalty or bravery of those who 'had exerted themselves to maintain the British cou tiection with the Provinces? Had not Captain Drew been treated with studied neglect?—(Hear, hear.) Had they not numerous instances of the favour shown to the dis affected; and had they not under Mr. Poulett Thomson a recent 'nstance—of Mr. Robert Baldwin, who bad just been made Soliciow-General. Ile would not go throueh the history of that Government ; but every one knew the position he occupied at the time cf the rebellion in Upper Canada, atd he did say that it 'cat a most dangerous step, and most discouraging to the loyalists, to take such a step as the injudicious elevation of Mr. Robert Baldwin. The,Noble Lord had spoken last night of the tranquillity of Canada, but he would warn them that that tranquillity was not to be relied on. The tranquillity of the loyal was that of despair, while the tranquillity of the disaffected was that of the bayonet. Another argument dwelt on by the Noble Lord was the embarrassed state of the finances of Upper Canada ; but while he admitted the claims of that province upon Great Britain, he denied that the union was at all necessary to effect that object. In his opinion the far better course would be to annex Montreal to Ueper Canada, and by governing Lower Canada after the Con stitution of 1774, namely, by a Governor and Counsel, till the English language and English laws were intro duced, and till the population had been so far modified and changed in their views as to make them fit for a full parti-cipation in the privileges of the British Constitution. But he must beg to call the attention of the House to that argument in favour of the union which had been more dwelt on than any other, namely, that the Canadians themselves were desirous of the union, and that the Legislature of the two provinces had declared in its favour. The House would remember that the Hon. Member for Coventry, whose opi nions on any subject connected with the Colonies were en titled to great weight, on the second reading, had sand that he had entertained serious doubts as to the union of the two provinces, but that he was reconciled to the proposition by the fact that the Canadians themselves were desirous ,f it. If that fact were established, it was one which ought certainly to be taken into consideration, and have great weight ; but he ( Mr. Pakington) did not himself believe that such was the fact, and lie hoped the House would permit him briefly to call their attention to the cir cumstances which bore on this important argument. In the first place, he thought they had this evening, in the petition from Lower Canada, a pretty good proof that at all events the Lower Canadians were not unanimous in their approbation of an union. His Right Hon. Friend the Member for the University of Cambridge had that evening presented a petition from 400,000 inhabitants of Lower Canada, deprecating the union of the two pro vinces ' - and while lie felt they must be re gar d e d as part i es who had lately been in open rebellion against the Crown of England, yet if the argument of universal consent were em ployed, it would be impossible to leave out numerically so large a portion of the inhabitants.—(Hear.) Then what were the feelings of the inhabitants of Upper Canada? Were they unanimous? He feared they would find public opinion there extremely divided on the subject. Many were anxious for the union, but he believed a large propor tion of the inhabitants were decidedly opposed to it ; but he now turned to the feelings of the Legislature. With regard to the Lower Province, he mutt say, looking to their present state, he did not think any great weight at tached to their decision, whatever it might be. It had been alleged lately, that at the time the Special Council consented to an union, there were not more than half of them assembled, therefore he did not think much attention should be paid to their opinion. But there was a more im portant question—what was the opinion of the Legislature of Upper Canada on this subject ? The House of Assem bly in Upper Canada were arrived at the full length of their existence. It had now sat four sessions, and it was an important fact, that in every session they had turned their attention to the subject of an union. In the first session of 1837, the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly concurred in a joint address to the Crown, praying that no union might take place. And what was the answer received from Lord Glenelg ? That her Majesty's Government did not consider the union of the provinces a " fit measure to be recommended to the Crown of England. No longer ago than 1837, so different was the opinion of the Queen's Government ! In 1838, the Legislative Council of Upper Canada attain drew up an able Report, deprecating the union. if he retnem bored rightly, the House of Assembly also drew up a Re port, in which they adverted to certain conditions. In 1839, the subject was again taken into consideration, when they approved of the union, subject to certain conditions. In 1840, they again consented to an union, and, by a con siderable majority, passed an Address to the Crown, in which were the same terms as those they bad previously laid down. This was the history of proceedings in Upper Canada, with regard to their consent. They deprecated the union, and then consented to it, on conditions. But he would now advert to that which uniformly for three yea-s had been the first and foremost condition on which they would consent to the union—namely, that the seat of Goverment should be in the Upper Province. Now, ho thought the course adopted by her Majesty's Government was neither ingenuous, wise, nor politic, on s thfs subject. They knew the importance the Assembly in Upper Canada attached to this point, hut they studiously avoid e d giving their opinions on the subject; and be thought h e s had now a right to ask the Noble Lord what those epi nions were? If he rightly understood the course which had been taken by Mr. P. Thomson, it was notj an ingenuous course. He had held out that the seat of Go. vertu-trent might in one year be in one province, and in the next in the other. This was impossible. With regard to the interest and importance of the question, he need not remind the House of what had taken place in the United, States, where so great had been the jealousy on this subs. ject, they had been obliged to make the separate district of Washington to obviate it. On this subject Chief Jus tice Robinson said, " To remove the scat of Government from Lower to Upper Canada was not only contrary to the sense of the Legislature, but that it was likely to pro duce certain discontent to a degree that could hardly be anticipated " If the seat of Government were fixed at Montreal, they would at once deprive the inhabitants of Upper Canada of that condition which they had made an indispensable one, before they consented to the union ; and it was the duty of the Government at once to say where the seat of Government would be fixed ; and tell the people of Upper Canada, whether. the conditions made with them were to be kept.

BARONET, a new writ was likewise issued for the borough of Sudbury, in the room of Sir John Walsh, who had accepted the Chiltern H undreds. NAPLES. Major CUMMING I3RUCE begged to ask the Nob:e Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he could give any information to the House in regard to the obstructions alleged to have been thrown in the way of the Protestant worship on the part of the British resi dents at Naples. Lord PALMERSTON said difficulties had arisen in consequence of the strict laws of Naples forbidding any other than Catholic public worship in that country. For a long course of time the Consul-General devoted an apartment in his House for the worship of the British residents ; and when the office of Consul-General was abolished, and a Consul, with a reduced salary, was ap pointed, similar accommodation was still furnished in the Consul's house. At last, however, the number of the British residents inereast.td so much, that a new building was required. The consent of the Neapolitan Govern ment was at first obtained for its erection, but, acted upon by other influences, after the first stone had been laid, that consent was retracted. Some of the British residents still endeavoured to procure a room to be fitted up as a chapel, but even this the Neapolitan Government interfered to prevent. Negotia tions had been for some tima going on with regard to a commercial treaty, wnich, however, had been broken off by the sulphur question. Fie hoped they would soon come to Some arrangement with the Neapolitan Government on the subject of freedom of religious worship for the British residents at Niples, and the removal of the grievances of which the Hon. Gentleman complained. TRANSPORTATION. Lord MAHON wished to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, if he would have any objection to lay on the table of the House the Order in Council recently issued on the subject of transportation to Neil South Wales. Lord JOHN RUSSELL would not object to its production if the Noble Lord would move for it. On the motion of Lord MAHON an address to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to order the cops' of the said Order in Council to be laid before that House, was agreed to. THANKS TO THE CHAPLAIN. On the motion of Lord John RUSSELL, & thanks of the House were voted to the Chaplain for a sermon preached before the House thts day. MALTA. Mr. EWART e.ished to ask the Secretary of the Colonies whether he would object to lay before the House the Report of the Commissioners appointed to investigate into the s t a t e o f M a l ta, more particularly with regard to the subject on which he some time since presented a petition to the House ; he meant on the s u bj ect o f t h e establishment of a repre sentative assembly in the island. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Commissioners had not made a n y report on the subject, but they had given in a statement, and had acquainted him with their reasons for postponing the publication of a Report. Mr. EWART wished to know if the Noble Lord had any objection to lay those reasons before the House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not believe the reasons were mentioned ire the statement, but he would look it over to ascertain. CANADA GOVERNMENT BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee on the Canada Government Bill be now read. Mr. GOULBURN said he would take that op portunity of presenting a petition which he had only received two hours since from Lower Canada, expressing an opinion adverse to the passing of the Bid. He wished to state that he did so, merely from the circumstance of the petition having been transmitted to him from Canada ; and as the petition was signed by 39,000 individuals, he thiught it his duty to lose no time in presenting it. The petitioners stated that from thefirst they had observed that the Governor-General had stated in his despatch that the re-union of the two Provinces was approved of by the inhabitants of Lower Canada. The petitioners stated that they were unaware of any steps that had been taken to ascertain the feelings of the inhabitants of that Province, except by calling a special council, of which not above half of the Members were present. The peti tioners further stated that the Council did not repre sent the feelings of the inhabitants, and they particu larly adverted to the statement that had been made in that House, that the former Bill was postponed for the purpose of ascertaining the opinions of the inhabitants of Upper Canada on the subject, and they regretted that a similar course had not been taken to ascertain the opinions of the inhabi tants of Lower Canada. 'l'he petitionc-s stated their belle; that after the long separation of the Provinces, their union would only produce disun'on and confusion, and would be detrimental to the best interests of both the Canr,clas. The petition also stated, that many of the assertions in Lord Durham's Report relative to the disputes that had taken place in the Provinces were founded in error ; and, in conclusion, the petitioners prayed that the Bill might not pass into a law. The Hon. Member moved that the petition should be laid on the table. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. PAKINGTON then rose to move the amend ment of which he had given notice. He was duly sen sible of the great difficulty and the great importance of the subject, anti Le approached it with no feelings of pre sumption, but with very great reluctance, and solely under a paramaunt sense of public duty. He could not consei.t to the Bill her Majesty's Ministers had brought into that House. He was not prepared to say that at co future period the union of the Canadas might not be practicable, but at present he believed that union would be fraught with danger, and would be highly impo litic. Entertaining these feelings, he considered it to he the most straightforward and manly course ex plicitly to state his views, and the reasons by which he had been influenced to move the amendment. At the same time he must add be did not think he should have adopted this course hail he not found, on investi gating this subject, that the vi,ws he entertained had been suKorted by some t f the greatest and most illus trious statesmen of other days who ever adorned that House or did honour to the country ; and had he not also found he was supported in those views by, he would not say a!). but by a large majority of those public officers who, at various times, had held authority in the Canadas up to the present time, and even under the present Adminis tration. In stating the views by which he was influenced upon this subject, he would not be tempted to deviate into any lengthened comments upon the hiitery of Canada for the last few years, neither would he dwell upon the various causes that had led to the kite rebellion, and which had caused that great distraction and unhappy state of disturbance which had now rendered it im• perative that the Imperial Parlament should interfere to settle the affairs of Canada. He did not approach the subject with any party spirit. He did not wish to infuse into his address any more of party feeling than he could avoid ; but lie entertained the opinion which be had expressed on a former occasion, that the rebellion which had occurred in Canada, was mainly and essentially to be attributed to thebad policy:of her Majesty's Govern. went. His decided opinion was, that;had it not been for the false system of conciliation adopted by her Majesty's Government, had it not been for their long-continued system of oppressing the loyal inhabitants and encourag ing the democratic and rebellious in Canada—(He4r, hear)—had it not been for their bad and false policy altogether, the rebellion never would have occurred, and the distracted state of that country would not have now called for the interference of the Imperial Legisla ture. Entertaining these opinions, it would be no matter of surprise that he should regard with distrust any measure brought forward by her Majesty's Government, for the purpose of healing those wounds which had been caused by their own short-sighted policy. At the same time he did not for a moment mean to impute to the Government that they were acting with any duplicity or insincerity. He be lieved that the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colo nies was acting in perfect good faith in the objects he wished to attain. It had been frequently stated that the time had now arrived when the Canadas ought to be separated from the parent country. He did not he- I lieve that the Noble Lord entertained such an opinion, —he could not suspect the Noble Lord of acting upon any such disingenuous policy. He believed that the objects intended to be attained by the Noble Lord were the same as his own, but the Bill on the table he fully believed would greatly tend towards that injurious end. The objects which he held to be specially the duty of that House to attempt to secure, were, in the first place, to legislate for the good government and , view the mem' r , the Ni• s sicui bas g rcat Mr. ctUrtl d4y Itei 0 , 0 ion. owe tb• the led )te- 1
