EMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
OATHS BILL

The Earl of WICKLOW said—l rise to exercise a
privilege that is the right of every Member of this
llou.e. I now lay on the table a Bill to alter the oaths
to be taken by all persons required to take the oaths of
allegiance, abjuration, and supremacy, which I now
move be read a first time.

The 13111 was read a first time accordingly.
VANCOUVEA'S ISLAND.

Earl GREY moved the second rearing of the Ad-
ministration of Justice (Vancouver's Island) Bill. The
colonisation of Vancouver's Island was intended to take
place by the Hudson's Bay Company. No political
power was conferred on that company, but grants of laud
had been made to them as had been made in former
times to other colonizing companies, but under much
greater restrictions. Tne company were bound to provide
for the defence of the island. They were also bound to
sell lands, and to expend the receipts in the colonization
and improvement of Vancouver's bland. The Govern-
ment was entrusted to a governor appointed by the
Crown. The present governor had been rect mmended
by the Hudson's Bay Company, but he believed he was
well qualified for the office. No body possessing the
Flynt. of taxation was to be established in the first in-
stance, but the Governor had power of creating
a legislative body, and the Bill also enacted
that persons accused of crimes should be tried in Van-
couver's Island, and not in Canada, as was the case with
persons accused of crimes in other parts of the territories
of the Hudson's Bay Company. If Vancouver's Island
were not speedily colonized, it would be occu-
pied by squatters. The Government could not
incur the expense of immediately colonizing the
island, therefore it must be colonized either by
teiz.ate individuals or by the Hudson's Bay Company.

were opposed to it, but whatever might he
regarded the company, it was the interest of ~.result, as
this country
that the settlement should be effected as speed%
possible, and that could be best effected by the interven-
tion of the Hudson's Bay Company.
Lord MONTEAGLE would not oppose a Bill for the
better administration of justice, if it was confined to
that merely ; but with regard to the colonization of
Vancouver's Island, he believed it was very imperfectly
conducted. It was a principle of colonization that nothing
could be more wrong than to make grants of large blocks
of land to individuals, or companies, and thus depriv-
ing the Crown of its power. No one had more upheld
this doctrine than the present Secretary fur the Colonies.
The importance of Vancouver's Island had been
universally admitted, and never had its importance been
more insisted on than at the time of the Oregon treaty.

The importance of that island had been s:nce greatly in
creased. It contained the only large supply of coal
that part of the world. There had been large settle-
ments of American citizens in that neighbourhood in
consequence of the discovery of gold in California.
Now a grant of the whole of this island had been made
to one company. When Prince Edward's bland was
granted, not to one company, but to five or six
individuals, no one bad comment, d more severely on that
grant than his Noble Friend. But here w Lis a grant of
a whole island to a trading company, whose pur-
suits of the fur trade incapacitated them for the
administration of the new functions which de-
volved on them as colonizers. If ever there was
a company that had shown itself incapable or
unwilling to perform the duties of colonizers it was the
Hudson's Bay Company. This company was originally
founded by charter in the time ut Charles 11., the grants
of which were so extravagant that there could be no
doubt that portions of it were Md. In the time Of 1
