LONDON :
THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1833.

Lord DURHAM has resigned the Government of
Canada. We are less surprised than grieved at this.
From the instant that we were informed that the Mi-
nisters undertook to pass the Canada Indemnity and
Declaratory Bill through the House of Commons, we
said " so ends the magnificent Vice-Royalty of the
Earl of DURHAM." In our article on this subject, of
August 11th, we added, " the Houses of Parliament
have constituted themselves the Executive Government
of Canada ; and Lord DURHAM, if he retain his
office, which we feel confident he will not one post
day after the news of last night's proceedings reaches
Quebec, will be the mere tool or instrument of the Bri-
tish Parliament." The words which Lord DURHAM
uses in announcing his resignation correspond exactly
to our expectations of his conduct. He resigns be-
cause the Parliament has interfered with his proceed-
ings, and her MAJESTY'S advisers had thought fit
to acquiesce in the determination of the House of
Lords. Here are the words of his answer to the ad-
dress of the Deputies from Nova Scotia, New Bruns-
wick, and Prince Edward's Island, which will be long
noted and remembered:—

" It is impossible for me to express to you in language
sufficiently strong the feelings of gratitude and pleasure
with which I have received this address.
" Representing as you do so worthily the three pro-
vinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Ed-
ward's Island, this proof of your confidence in me, and ap-
probation of the principles on which my Administration
bas been conducted, is most gratifying to me.
" I assumed the government of the North American
provinces with the predetermination to provide for the
future welfare and prosperity of them' all, never doubting
that such a provision would be the best, nay, the only real
security for their permanent connexion with the British
Crown. In communications which hays taken place be.
tween us, and from which I have derived equal pleasure
and information, you have been fully apprised of
my views and intentions. These you have appre- ,
ciated and recognized in a manner for which I can
never be sufficiently grateful. I have, indeed, had a
difficult and laborious duty to perform. The result of my
endeavours, however, is one of which I need not be
ashamed. In the short space of little more than three
months I have seen tranquillity restored, and confidence
reviving. I have caused substantial justice to be ad-
ministered, tempered by mercy. I have carefully exa-
mined, with a view to reformation, all the institutions of
the province more immediately committed to my charge ;
and I was on the point of promulgating such laws as
would have afforded protection to all those groat British
interests which had been too long neglected. I
had also, as you well know, devoted the most careful
attention to all subjects which could affect the gene-
ral interest of all the Colonies, and had brought
nearly to maturity the plan which I intended to submit
thevlooesand
first instance to the consideration of the Pro-
eventually of the Cabinet and the Impe-
rial Parliament. In this,:l trust useful course, I have
been suddenly arrested by the interference of the British
Legislature ; in which the responsible advisers of the
Crown have deemed it their duty to acquiesce. Under
these circumstances Iha
of
have but one step to take—to resign
that authority the exercise
which has thus been so
weakened as to render it totay
this,ll
tins existence.adequat e
ofto the grave
emergency which alone called for i
" Be assured, however, G Gentlemen, that this
unexpected and abrupt terminationofthe official connec-
tion which united me with the North
or
American provinces,
will not weaken in my mind the feelings of deep interest

anxious to devote every faculty o
ence I may possess, to the advancement of their inYterinost;
and to the establishment, on the most lasting foundation,'
of their welfare and prosperity.
A great number of public bodies had addressed his
Lordship—all expressing sorrow at his resignation,
and to ail he returned a similar answer. A large
number of respectable persons at Quebec had pre.
sented an address to him, praying that he would not
relinquish the Government at this critical juncture.
Considerable alarm and consternation appeared to pre-
vail in Canada. A letter from Montreal of the 25th
ult., says of Lord DURHAM'S resignation :
This has caused in the British portion of the population
of Lower Canada feelings of the deepest
possible regret,
for they have in prospect every evil to contemplate. Some-
thing must be done speedily, or these colonies are lost to
the mother country.
Commerce is at a stand, a positive and determined stand.
Men in the possession of a large amount of property know
not how soon they may be reduced to beggary. The whole
of last winter was occupied in drilling's lied night watches,
-.e ti... ore; o,:c. to i-,oserlt to n", tT ev•
more serious. The Upper Canada Banks are in confusion .
Rnsigration is at a total step, ast4 tha country has been

thrown at least ten years backwards. You may think I
am not writing coolly when I write the above, but such
is the state of feeling universally manifested throughout our
community.

Another letter of October Ist says,—

You must have observed a new source of uneasiness in
both provinces. I allude to the Rectory question. In the
critical state of the Canadas, it seems to me to be unwise to
agitate the question just now ; and believing, as I do, that
the Church and State should be kept separate, I think it
unfortunate for the trAnquillity of the country that the
rectories have been established, especially after the decision
of the Home Government, that the Clergy of the Esta-
blishment have the same power in the Colonies as they
have in the Mother Country. These fifty-seven rectories
created in Upper Canada have brought " Greek against
Greek," or the Scotch against the English, and when these
ingredients meet they are not shy of each other. If ever
union was necessary on the part of the English population,
it is so at the present moment.

These apprehensions tally with those expressed in
the following letter from our own Correspondent at
New York ; and every thing now seems to forbode a
disturbed and distracted state of the Canadas during
the ensuing winter :

NEW YORE, OCT. 4, 1338.—1 write by the Great
Western, which sails this afternoon. One of the leading
topics in our Journa's is the state of affairs in Canada, and
as these must be of paramount interest to the people of
England, I shall commence my letter by giving you such
authentic intelligence as 1 have been able to collect on the
subject.
The news of the passage of Lord Brougham's Bill,
censuring the official acts of Lord Durham, has occasioned
much astonishment in this country, and excited feelings of
indignation and disgu.t among the well-informed and loyal
throughout the colonies. The insurrection party, a very
insignificant minority , are of course proportionally elated,
as they consider the British Government has tacitly ac-
knowledged their gricsainces, and palliated their rebellious
acts, by the rebuke it has permitted to be given to the
Governor-General. Lord Durham, immediately on re-
ceiving the news brought cut by the Great Western, de-
clared his intention to resign. Petitions from all quarters
have poured in upon him to remain, and it is said that he
has received private letters from the British Ministers ex-
pressing their entire approvsl of his conduct, and entreating,
him to continue in office. But the last advices from Que-
bec give no hope that his Lordship will agree to a propo-
sition so desirable : he is dceply offended ; considers him-
self sacrificed by the Minictly, and has announced his in-
tention to sail for England is the Malabar, 74, which is
now preparing for the reception of his staff.
Previous to his final departure, his Lordship will pay a
a short visit to this city, and afterwards to Washington,
making a stay probably of about two weeks in the United
States. He is expected here in the frigate Inconstant,
which will sail from Montreal, about the 20th instant.
Great excitement is said to prevail in the Lower Province,
and races are said to have boen got up in various parts of
the country, for the purpose of giving the disaffected an
opportunity of assetnl)liag and concerting their plans.
The Canadian Correspondent of the Commercial Adver-
tiser, of this city, in a letter dated Montreal, Sept. 29th,
has the following remarks
" The experience of every day convinces me that there will
be a good deal of excitement during the approaching win-
ter. Almost every hour you hear some new story of gather-
ings, either for horse racing, or some other sport which
bring together large assemblages, affording an oppportunity
for the disaffected to communicate with each other. Again,
it is said that large supplies of arms and munitions of war
ire coming into the Province from your side of the
lines. On my way from St. Charles, yesterday, I was told
that information had been received that five hundred
stand of arms had been brought into the province within a
few days, and that they would probably be removed nearer
to Montreal that right. This report caused a vigilant
watch to be kept. Toese reports are no doubt set afloat
to keep the troops in motion, and to harrass them by constant
nightly duty. I can assure the agitators of one effect
they will have—that they will not trouble a prison long.
" I observe by the late London Papers that the Earl of
Durham had requested one more regiment to be added to
the force now in the Canadas, and that a regiment now at
Nova Scotia is to be transferred to Quebec. We have a
large force, but I think not a man more than will be re-
quired for the extended line of frontier which they have to
guard. Ido not think the Commander-in-Chief intends
to " dot the whole line" with small detachments. It would
be bad policy to do so. It is not a good plan to familiarize
those who reside on the frontier with troops. They will be
stationed at posts easy of access, and with such means that
they can be sent to any point at short notice."
Whatever may be the general impression in England as
to the impropriety of conferring such great discretionary
powers on an individual as Lord Durham possesses, it is
almost the universal opinin in this country that he has
wielded them wisely and for the general good. If he has
exceeded them in the particular instance which formed the
pretext for Lord Brougham's attack, he has erred on the
side of mercy, not of severity. The men he banished, had
they been tried, would, most of them, without doubt, have
been convicted ; and the fact is, he is entitled to their
thanks for sending them out of harm's way. The mass of
the Canadians have no sympathy with the Revolutionists ;
indeed, there is far more commisseration manifested for
them on your side of the Atlantic than this.
I write in great haste, as the letter-bag is about closing.
Such a termination to the hopes that were indulged
in spring, and that were in a fair way to be realised is
much to be deplored. Lord DURHAM'S own public
assertions that tranquillity was restored, prosperity re-
turning, and party spirit abating, seem fully borne out
by the assent of all the persons to whom he spoke, and
by the evidence of the Journals. That he should
have been stopped in his career of usefulness, merely
because it was found not to be legal to do good—not to
be legal to save the colony by mercy and wisdom—
is deeply regretted in Canada, and will be as
deeply regretted in England. We shall not at present
indulge in anticipations of the results, which we be-
lieve will be disastrous, confirming the opinion we ex-
pressed on August 11, " that to overthrow Lord
DURHAM'S great authority is to strike a heavy blow
at all authority."

The Corn Averages, published to-day, show that
the markets are again rising considerably. Last
Thursday the weekly average was 645. 9d.; to-day it is
665. There is a probability, too, of an early and a
severe winter ; and such weather, with a high price of
bread and scanty employment, in the present irritated
disposition of the masses, supplies no pleasant pros-
pect for the next six months. The slightest interrup-
tion to our trade, and both our trade with Russia
and with the United States are threatened, would
plunge the masses in distress, and provoke a fearful
commotion. The upper classes and the middle
classes have been, in our estimation, grie-
viously blind to their own interest, that they
have not long before now taken up this subject, and
by abolishing the Corn-laws, have enabled themselves
to say to a starving people—" We have not inter-
posed between you and Providence, and the fault is
not ours—the fault is not that of the Legislature that
you are the prey of distress and famine." That they
cannot now say ; and should distress and famine be
severely felt, the Legislature will be so clearly per-
ceived to be the cause of the national suffering that
it will be exposed to imminent danger. As long as
the Corn-laws exist, famine may be dreaded every
season, and whenever it co:nes, neither property nor
person will be safe, nor law respected in England.
At the same time it is made plain by the averages
that these laws do not give the protection to the farmer
which he expects. The great mass of foreign corn
was imported at Is. duty. According to the price
which he is now getting for his crops, and we doubt
if the farmers generally have got more, and according
to the presumed intention of the law, all that foreign
corn ought to have paid a duty of 21s. Bd., and it is
therefore clear that the law cheats the farmer while it
tends to

rooting out the numerous abuses that have been long
cherished by a body of men elected by their fellow-
citizens. There has been a strange backwardness,
for which the confiding citizens could not account,
in the municipal authorities, and those who had any
corporate office in view, in taking any steps to obtain
Municipal Reform for the City of London ; and who
now will be surprised at the apathy ? A share in the
management of half a million sterling a year, or an
appointment to some City office worth 3,0001. or
6,0001. a year, are prizes worth contending for, and
the aspirants must be patriots indeed who would pre-
fer a saving of a few shillings or pounds to the
citizens of London, when, by prudent, cautious con-
duct, they might make ample provision for themselves
and their whole generations, even to the most distant
cousin. It will be seen from this statement that the
amount of rents and taxes raised by the Corporation
on their own authority and by Acts of Parlia-
ment, together with fees and emoluments, is no
less than 454,3081. ; that the salaries, including that
of the Lord Mayor, with the contingent expences
amount to more than 50,0001. a-year ; that the
Chamberlain has more than the First Lord of the
Treasury by nearly 5001. a-year ; that the Comptroller
has 3,5991., while the President of the Board of Con-
troul has only 3,500/. ; and the Remembrances has
a better income than the Secretary at War; and, while
Marylebone, with the same population as London, has
all the paving, lighting, and other public works done for
60,0001. the enormous sum of nearly half a million
is expended in managing the municipal concerns of
not more than the twelfth part of the population of the
metropolis. If corporate reform is not wanted here, it
cannot be required in any city in Christendom. But
this forms only a portion of the grievances—the sys-
tem of police—the Magistracy--the jobbing in city
lands, and other abuses---are to afford scope for the
labours of the society ; and every good citizen, we are
sure, will wish them success.

We publish a statement in another place, under
the head Mansion-house, from which it appears
that the Custom-house Officers lend themselves, and
lend their authority, to the nefarious object of levying
a tax on the public, for the benefit of some wharfingers.
We hope this is not the case ; for after the Custom-
house has taken charge of any goods, it seems bound
to deliver them to the owner, free of all charges, ex-
cept what may be due to the QUEEN. If the authority
of the Custom-house be in any way employed to levy
this toll for Messrs. JACKSON and KNILL, we hope
that the Commissioners of the Customs will imme-
diately put an end to the abuse.

A public meeting has been held in the 'West Riding
of Yorkshire, to express the sentiments of that popu-
lous district, on the important questions embodied in
the " People's Charter." A Contemporary states,
that the number of persons assembled on this occasion
did not exceed seven or eight thousand, and, therefore,
pronounces the meeting a " decided failure." This we
think is rather a hasty conclusion. Eight thousand men
may seem but a small number compared with the whole
population of the West Riding, but when it is recol-
lected that there are great difficulties in the wav of
bringing together a numerous assemblage of working,
people from any considerable distance, we are of opi-
nion that this meeting, so far from being a failure,
affords unquestionable evidence of the interest which
the working classes have been induced to take in the
question of Representative Reform. Our only regret is,
that they should throw away their energies by pursuing
an object which, if not chimeral, is, under present circurn.
stances, so clearly unattainable, while they overlook en-
tirely the greatest of all the practical evils under which a
nation can labour, which is grinding them to the dust,
and which, there can be no doubt, their own efforts
if well directed, might remove. We need not say, that
we allude to that national curse, the Corn-laws.

The speeches delivered on this occasion, were little
different in quality from those which have been
spoken at the various meetings which have lately
been held for the same purpose throughout the
country. The Rev. Mr. STEPHENS was there, and
made a very characteristic speech. This Rev. Gen-
tleman's ardent imagination always runs away with his
judgment. A Mr. PETER BUSSEY, of Bradford, be-
wailed the times when York and Lancaster met to
deluge the plains with blood, but nevertheless incul-
cated upon his hearers that " if ever the people of
England calculated on getting over the tyranny
which now pressed them to the earth, they must
look after their rifles." How the Tories must
chuckle to find their game so admirably played for
them, by the so-called advocates of liberty I
Mr. JOHN FIELDEN, M.P., recommended that the
people should abstain from the use of excisable arti-
cles, and assured the meeting that by doing
so they
would in two years obtain their object.
Die Hon.
Gentleman stated in explanation of an assertion made
by him at a former meeting, as to the increase of
taxation to the extent of four millions during the six
Sessions of the Reformed Parliament, that he took the
statement from Blackwood's Magazine ! !

When things are at the worst, the only consolation
is, that any change may be for the better. Such
appear to be the state and prospects of the Spanish
people at the present moment. It is hardly possible to
imagine a country in a more deplorable or hopeless
condition, and we envy not the feelings of Louis
PHILIPPE when he calmly reflects on what Spain
might have been had he kept his engagements, and
supported his own cause in France by supporting the
Spanish Liberals, in place of succumbing to the Holy
Alliance, and warring with petty republics. The
Legitimate Government of Spain has only the counte-
nance of England; substantial assistance in one shape
or another it has not from any European Power.
The military chief that rules the destinies of the
country, is more occupied about Court intrigues and
destroying Cabinets, than in plans for defeating the
enemy, and his success in the former respect has been
most wonderful. The affairs of the country are left
to ,-;l.:nce and anarchy ; there cannot be said to be
any Cabinet, or indeed any Government. INiost
of the political characters of influence have resorted to
Paris to carry on intrigues there, with the exception
of NARVA EZ (and he is carefully kept out of the
way of the enemy). The best Generals have been dis-
placed or killed. FUN TER put himself to death be-
cause he could not bear up under the indignities to
which he was subjected by the Government and the
Commander-in-Chief ; PA RDINAS, sacrificed him-
self in the field when he found his ill-paid troops would
not fight. An Aide-de-camp of the General is ap-
pointed to a principal command against the wishes of
the army and the public ; the deplorable state of the
country prevents all hope of raising money, either by
loans or taxes ; the exertions of the middle and liberal
classes are paralyzed by the treachery or supineness of
the military and political chief, and they are only kept
down in the Capital by the presence of troops that
should be fighting against the common enemy. From all
accounts, Madrid is on the eve of some great commotion,
and for this reason, no doubt, the principal actors that
have brought the country to such a state have fled to
Paris. Spectators at a distance have long been of opi-
nion that unless the middle and lower classes cast off
the incubus with which they are oppressed, the war will
be intertnitinhic, they will be saelific;.qi •
ai,(l be forcer to ri6e up against the cruelty
oppression of Ltiu Durango tyrant. Possibly they begin
to see their condition in the same light ; if so, and

they act with prudence and energy, the country may
ere long be regenerated. One thing is certain ; they
cannot be worse off than they are at present. They
are in daily fear of proscriptions or slaughter from the
partizans of Don CARLOS, and they have no hopes
of relief from that class which for the last four years
have in every possible way misgoverned the country.

Dutch, Brussels, and German Papers have been
received this morning, from which we select the most
interesting extracts. The following summary of the
King of HOLLAND'S speech to the " High and
Mighty Lords" who compose the States General,
will be found to contain no political fact with a know-
ledge of which Europe is unacquainted :

" It is satisfactory to my paternal heart to find myself in
this solemn Assembly, for the first time accompanied by
my well beloved grandson, the Hereditary Prince of
Orange, to whom I have granted the right of sitting in
the Council of State, having attained his majority.
" My friendly relations with foreign Powers have not
experienced any change.
" Since our last Session I am still expecting the answer
of the declaration sent in the spring on my part to the
Plenipotentiaries of the Courts of Austria, France, and
Great Britain, from Prussia and Russia, which will decide
a final arrangement of the Belgian insurrection, and I am
in hopes that this declaration, founded on the anterior
resolutions of the Powers, and which have equally ob-
tained the unanimous consent of the States-General, will
produce an issue compatible with the honour of the Dutch
people.

" A great activity prevails in the principal manufactures.
Large capitals are circulated in the navigation and corn-
merce, while the fisheries have given an abund int result.
" Our possessions beyond the seas are satisfactory. At
Sumatra our authority has been more consolidated by the
taking of Ringol."
BRUSSELS, OCT. 14.—The day before yesterday the
weather became much cooler ; frequent showers of rain
fell. During the night the cold increased, and yesterday
morning there was a thick fall of snow, in large flakes, from
six to seven o'clock. As we are not yet in the middle of
October, it seems that we may expect an early winter after
a rany summer.

The sister of Prince Pierre Napoleon arrived the day
before yesterday at Brussels, where she will spend some
days, and then go to join her brother in the province of
Luxemburg, where they intend to take a house.
INNSPRUCK, OCT. B.—Yesterday afternoon, at two
o'clock, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexander
of Russia, accompanied by a numerous suite arrived here
from Munich, and set out again this morning for Italy.
ATHENS, SEPT. 27.—The Budget of tae War depart-
ment amounts this year to 5,400,054 drachms, which shows
a saving of 1,400,000 drachms. The King has decided to
set out the day after to-morrow on his long projected tour,
and to visit first the Ereirchy of Chalcis. His Majesty
will extend his tour to Navarin, where he thinks to meet
the Queen on her return from Germany, and then return to
the capital.
CONST ALNTINOPLE, SEPT. 26.—Rear-Admiral Osman
Bey, who was lately sent hither on a mission from the
Capitan Pacha, has returned to the fleet.

Accounts from Smyrna mention the junction of the
English fleet with that of the Capitin Pacha, and their
sailing towards the Archipelago. The Jupiter, French
ship of the line, with the flag of Admiral Gal-
lois, sailed on the 17th for Tunis, whence it was to go to
Toulon.

Mehemet Ali has paid the arrears of his tribute, nay,
he has even assured the Porte of his entire submission,
and expressed this in the most flattering terms. He will
even submit to the stipulations of the commercial treaty
between England and France and the Porte ; on the
other hand he persists in requiring the hereditary succes-
sion to the Government in his family. It is reported that
the Capitan Pacha is commissioned to negotiate with the
Pacha on this basis. The junction of the English
fleet with that of the Capitan Pacha, seems to have had
the greatest influence in producing this change in Mehemet
Ali's resolutions._

AUGSBURG, OCT. 12.—Prince Esterhazy, Austrian
Ambassador at London, arrived here yesterday with his
son, Prince Nicholas, and set out this morning for Munich.
VIENNA, OCT. B.—Five per Cents. 107 2-sths ; Three
per Cents. 80 ; Bank Shares, I,46l.—Allgenseine Zeitung,
Oct. 13.

Madrid Journals of the 10th inst. announce another
modification of the Cabinet. The appointmem s were
then—
Foreign Affairs Duke de Frias.
Interior Marquis Valgornera.
Finance M. Montevirgen.

Grace and Justice Ruiz de la Vega.
Marine M. Ponzoa.

We should not be surprised to hear of another
change in the Cabinet before the expiration of the
current week.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday have
been received. The Moniteur announces a further
advance in the price of Flour, in a paragraph which
will be found among our extracts from the French
Journals. On the important subject of the Commer-
cial Treaty between Great Britain and Austria, we
find the following notification in Galignani's Messen-
ger of Tuesday
" They write as follows from Venice, under the date of
the Bth instant :--c The provisions of the treaty of navi-
gation and commerce between Austria and England have
been announced there. Generally it places the trade-
ships of aoth states on a perfectly reciprocal feeling. It,
however, contains two important articles both 'deviat-
ing from the usaal international treaties of England.
One of these, places all Austrian ships arriving in
British ports from the ports of the Danube, from
Galatz upwards inclusive, on the same footing in re-
spect to ship and cargo as British vessels. What will
Russia say to this ? The most important provision for
the Adriatic ports is the allowing the transhipment, direct
to British ports, of the productions of Asia and Africa,
within the Straits of Gibraltar ; but this is conditional : for
the same artielo secures, in consideration, to British ship-
ping, for at least twelve years, the indirect navigation to
Austrian ports—that is, Englsli ve•s-ls can arrive with
their cargoes, not only direct from all British ports to
these of Austria, exactly on the same footing as Aus-
trian ships, hut also with like privileges from all foreign
countries. This is an immense advantage secured to
England, which enables her ships to convey foreign sugar,
coffee, and colonial produce of all kinds, as well as all
other productions, direct from foreign countries to Aus-
trian ports. Mr. MacGregor, who has been commis-
sioned under the British Ambassador in preparing the
details which led to the conclusion of this treaty, and
also in obtaining many important reductions in the Aus-
trian tariff, is now here, endeavouring, it is said, under
Sir Frederick Lamb's directions, to obtain ameliorations
of the very annoying and absurd quarantine laws of the
Adriatic ports."
We regard every treaty which has for its object the
freedom of trade as highly beneficial, not only to Eng-
land, but to all nations. With respect to treaties
with particular Powers having, or supposed to have, a
political as well as a commercial object, we are not
disposed to lay any peculiar stress upon them.
There was a time, indeed, when we were wont to look
upon Austria as our natural ally, and France as our
natural foe ; but the political maxims of that period
we never wish to see revived. The more treaties
