gration, official responsibility, the Wild Lanes, and the law of
tenures for future settlers: but not to permit any existing
tenure to be altered without the consent of all parties con-

corned.
7. To have no state or dominant church whatever ; but
leave all matters affecting religion or education, and the dis-
posal of all funds for the objects of either, to the decision,
appropriation, and apportionment of the House of Assembly
and Legislative Council—the Executive Council and Governor
not to be permitted to interfere in the matter:
8. To give local charters to the different towns and dis-
tricts creating municipal bodies by popular elections, and
giving to such municipal bodies so created the sole right of
declaring and maintaining that mode of tenure which each
may deem the fittest for it own locality.
We throw out these cursory and perhaps crude remarks
with hesitation, but with great sincerity. We do not agree
with the celebrated Jeremy Bentham, whose pamphlet is be-
fore us, in thinking it to be good for the mother country and
good for her colonists, to be suddenly and for ever separated ;
we have old-fashioned prejudices in favour of " ships, colonies,
and commerce ;" and have no desire to leave two rival
races to cut one another's throats in their struggles for
supremacy. We may have spoken harshly of the selfish
objects of the leaders of the French Canadians ; i
so, our only excuse is that we are Britons, and that we
feel as Britons towards our countrymen, whose properties, if
not liberties and lives, would have been sacrificed, had those
French Canadians triumphed. We may have expressed opi-
nions contrary to some of the leading principles of our own
Constitution ; if so, cur plea must be that we are Reformers,
and disposed to advocate every sound and well-considered
change, that may conduce "to the greatest happiness of the
greatest number." We may have spoken somewhat contemptu-
ously of the intelligence of a section of the Canadians; if so,
we would not only make the antende honorable, but express a
fervent hope, that they may frame such a Constitution for
themselves, based upon such principles of popular lights ; re-
jecting all extrinsic glitter, and intrinsic guilt of our law of
primogeniture ; eschewing all fallacies of Church craft and
State craft ; bonefitting every one, without injuring any one ;
—that the experiment being triumphant there, the mother
may at last learn of the daughter, and Great Britain, instead
of trying to create hereditary law-makers in Canada, may
be taught how to reform or to dispense with those she has g, t
at home.

The Paris Papers of Sunday have all been received,
together with advices from Madrid of the 22d instant.
The OFALIA Cabinet was reported to be on its last
legs ; and, most probably, will be succeeded by a Mi-
nistry under the control of Count TORENO. The
Madrid elections have at last terminated, and strangely
enough, CoRDOVA stands at the head of the poll.
The French Journals contain no news save what will
be found in the annexed extracts :

A letter from Logrono of the pith has the following news :
—" Four battalions, 150 horse and two field pieces left Lo-
grono today to proceed to Mondavia, to reinforce the divi-
sion of La Ribera. Espartero is still at Miranda; however, his
arrival at Logrono is announced, and it is even said that he
will command in person a demonstration against Estella. We
learn positively that Don Carlos has really received six mil-
lions of francs in gold, which came from Russia through Hol-
land. It is asserted that this sum was brought by Admiral
Ricord. We remark in a letter from Madrid of the 19th
in the Phare de Bayonne of the 25th, the following
passage respecting the expedition of Don Basilio Gar-
cia :--Don Basilio is still in the mountains of Toledo.
However, a report received by the Ministry yesterday, states
that this band was returning, and that it had entered Mora,
ten leagues from Talavera de la Reina."

The Phare de BayonrieOftVe-2ctil, says, " The embar-
kation of the British Legion commenced at St. Sebastian
some days ago."

L'Euiope- says, " M. D'Appony gives a ball ; it is by
order of his Government. This fete, as well as the little lau-
datory article of the Austrian Observer, is intended, we re-
peat it, to celebrate the approaching evacuation of Ancona."
I3A YONNE, J.N. 23.—Don Carlos had not quitted Llodio
on the 19th.
The Christinos have failed in a new attempt to relieve
Balmaseda. The Carlist division under tho command of
Bobcda, has repulsed them."—Commerce.
