UPPER CANADA.

Yong, Nov. 24.—At three o'clock this day
His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir P,
MAITLAND, being stated on the Throne, His Ex.
cellency was pleased to open the present Session
of Parliament with the following speech :

" HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE
CouNclL.—l regret to be under the necessity of informing
you, that our Commissioners for adjusting our financial interests
with Lower Canada have found it impracticable to establish a
new agreement on terms which they could regard as compatible
with our just claims. A suspension of receipt has thus, una-
voidably occurred in that very material branch of our revenue
which accrues frpm our proportion of the duties collected at the
Port of Quebec. Deeply as I felt the importance of this em-
barrassing result, I would not overlook the public convenience
by having recourse to your counsel, at a period when your
absence from your several districts might have materially in-
terfered with the administratien of justice ; but measures were
resorted to for obviating, as much as possible, the difficulties
which, in this juncture, unavoidably occurred. I have now di-
rected that the papers relative to the proceedings of the Com-
missioners shall be immediately submitted to you, and I recom-
mend the consideration of this important subject to your earliest
attention.
" Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,

" The public accounts, with the estimates for the ensuing
year, shall be laid before you without delay. It is satisfactory to
_observe, that our internal revenue, small as it is, and altogether
unequal to our exigencies, has not decreased during the last
year, notwithstanding the general depression of trade and agri-
culture.

" Henceforward, the annual expenditure will be considerably
lessened by the reductions which have been made in the Mi-
litia Pension List, under your late Act ; and in availing myself
of the provsion enabling me to borrow on debenture the sum re-
quired to discharge the arrearages due on that head, I was gra-
tified in finding that the negociation of the loan was immedi-
ately effected within the Province.

" Honourable Gentlemen,
" The important matter already alluded to as inducing me to
call you thus early together, will demand your first and chief
consideration; for until we are relieved from the interruption in
the receipt of our principal revenue, the means of advancing
public improvement must necessarily be inch circumscribed.
There are doubtless other matters, however, on which your de-
liberation may be occupied with advantage to your fellow sub-
jects. Looking to the situation of our agricultural interests, I
cannot but feel desirous it might be found possible to afford me
some effectual encouragement to the experiment of cultivating
hemp, and such other productions, as would find a more con-
stant and profitable demand in the parent state.
" You may be assured that lam always inclined to co-
operate heartily with you in every measure in which my duty
and your judgment will allow me _to concur; and desire-to
impress upon you, that a continuance of unanimity between
the different branches of the Legislature is necessary to create
confidence in our measures, and give weight to our representa-
tions."—(Upper Canada azette Extraordinary.)
