LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER.

QUEnEC,. Nov. 25, 1823.—This (lay, at twci
o'clock, his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief came down in
state to the Legislative Council Chamber, and being seated on
the throne, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent
down to the House of Assembly to command their attendance
before his Excellency, and that House being come up, his Ex,
cellency opened the fourth Session of the eleventh Provincial
Parliament with the following Speech :
Gentlemen of the Legislative Connell,
Gentlemen if the House of Assembly.

It is painful to inc to meet you in each succeeding year with
statements of difficulties in our financial affairs, but as they
still exist, i: is incumbent upon me to bring them before you
in the fullest detail ; and it is for that especial purpose I hays
called you to meet at this early 'period. Placed an the Execu-
tive medium between the Imperial Treasury and this Provi-
sional Parliament, I ant to be guided by the decisions of both,
in financial matters ; and having the satisfaction to know that
the course I have pursued in the difficulties of this summer has
been approved by his Majesty's Government, it remains for me
to-submit to your consideration, in order that Parliament here
may adopt such measures as to it shall seem best.
Gentlemen of the Asseloly,

I shall direct the proper officer to lay before you the annual
accounts of the province, to the 31st of October last, so soon
as they can be prepared ; also estimates of the probable ex-
pence& of the Ovil floyernment, for the year now commencing,
in the same form as I presented tlielerin last Session, and In
his 31,1jeaty's name I am to call t.von you to make proYision
accordingly.
Gentkmot qf the Legislative Counril.
Gentkmen Vibe Haute of iitsembill•

It is with great satisfaction I have to state, that the Revenue
continues fully equal to what it has been for several years past,
and that I consider the Province essentiAly prospering, even
to a degree far beyond what is generally imagined.—Under
existing circumstances, it man be unnecessary tbr me to re-
commend the iniprovement of the Roads, or the Canal now
nearly completed ; or indeed any works which spring from
public pecuniary aid : nevertheless, I trust they will not be
omitted to your deliberations. -
There are other subjects not so, depended, and no less im•
portant to the public interests. The Judicature Bill, and that
for the establishment of Register Offices have been already
under your consideration, and I hope will be again resumed.
We are already arrived at the last Session of this Parliament,
let it be the anxious desire of all to close our labours in the
harmony and effectual concert, which always promote public
good and ensure public prosperity. In that desire, I think I
need not assure you of my cordial concurrence.
The following, Members of the Assembly were present, viz. :
—The lion. 111 r. Vallieres the St. Real, Speaker, Messrs.
liedeaux, Belanger, Blancher, Bourtlag,es, Bureau, Cuvillier,
Davidson, Clonet, Henry Jones, E. C. Lagneux. L. Lagueux,
Lengevie, 111`Calluiti, Neilson, o*am, Panet,
Pare, J. Perrault, Proulx, Quironet, Rochon, St. lunge, Stuart,
Tachereau and \tiger.

The Members of the Legi►lative Council present were the
Hon. Mr. Chief Justice Sewell, Speaker; the Hon. John
Hale, A. L. J. Duchesnay, John Richardson, H. W. Ryland,
Wm. Mqiillivray, Rev.

James Irvine, M. 11. Perceval, Olivier Perrault, Wm. Burns,
Thomas Coffin, T. P. J. Taschereau, Roderick, llPlienzie, W.
B. Felton and Matthew Bell.

The Elizabeth and Young Pmteus are expected to sail this
svening,,and as the weather is clear they have every chance of
getting to sea.
The Schooner Mary Catherine, Capt. 'White, belonging to
Wm. Priee, Esq. struck the ground several times in passing
the Traverse on Thursday, the weather being hazy, and was
run on shore at River du Loup in a sinking state.—Capt. Clint
states that he saw no vessels on this side of the Traverse.

The ships Margaret and Centurion, and brigs kabala and
Ander, sailed on Sunday, The two lust fouled in getting
under weigh, but sustained no serious injury, and got away at
the turn of the tide.

A gentleman front the King's Post came up ,on Saturday :
he crossed to and travelled up the south shore. On Tuesday
last, off' Green Island, he observed a ship, seemingly tight and
standing up, which afterwards put about and bore away. Four
vessels were then at anchor in the Brandy-pots-.saw. nothing
of the four that sailed in the afternoon of Tuesday last, thinks
they passed where he was on Wednesday night, as the wind was
fair for them, and strong.
.We hope soon to hear favourable accounts of the crafts for
the lower ports.
Letters have hien received from on hoard the St., Lawrence,
which sailed hence on Saturday the h th. She discharged her.
pilot on Sunday below Green Island; the Lady Gordon then
at hand.
The important law-ease connected with the property of the
Gentlemen of the Seminary of Montreal, which was to have
been decided in the last term of the Court of Appeals, was not
brought on, owing to the pressure of httsiness and the time cm.
* yea the demon of other cases on the file before the cue
alluded to.

(From Me Bombay Courier, May ?4, Ins.)

By private letters from Canton, of date the 6th March, it
appears that Company's Malwa nphint had risen to 1,460
dollars, and Demaun, opium to 800 dolLis per poctil.

Bombay cotton. is quoted at Id tale per pocul, but the quan-
tity on hand was still very considerable, and a fall in price was
accordingly expected, as soon as the supply of the present sea-
son should begin to arrive.

On Sunday evening last, a fire broke out among the
cotton bales piled on Bombay Green. It was first discovered
about half-past eight o'clock, anti before nine it had in-
closed in its destructive grasp several heaps containing
many hundred bales. At that time the prospect was truly
terrific;—in contact with ti; burning mass there were up-
wards of twenty thousand bales of unscrewed cotton ; the
public offices of Government, the .arsesititilitaatstont house,
the theatre, and many valuable private buildings, which im-
mediately surround the spot, were threatened with almost im-
mediate destruction—the engines produced no visible
the heat from the fire was ekeessive, and the most serious ap-
prehensions were entertained that the whole of the town would
be involved in the conflagration ;—indeed nothing but the
prompt,and vigorous exertions used to clear away the bales
from the vicinity of the tire, and the fortunate circumstance of
their being very little wind during the night, could have saved
it. About eleven o'clock a complete separation was accom-
plished, and from that time the.iire diminished, after consum-
ing nearly Rye thousand bales of Cotton and about 6 or 700
bags of Rice.

Of the exertions used by the military on this occasion we
cannot better speak, than in the language of the public order
issued OD the following day :
Extrart from Garrison Orders, 20th May, 1023.
BY THE HONOURABLE TIV. GOVERNOR.

The Honourable the Governor has much gratification in ex-
pressing his sentiments on the conduct of the troops and de-
partments employed in extinguishing the fire which broke out
in the garrison on Sunday night, and which but for their spirit.
ed exertions must haire communicated to the neighbouring
buildings, and probably have involved the whole town in de-
strtiction. The personal zeal and intelligent arrangement of
Lieut.-Colonel Ogilvie, C. 13. were particularly conspicuous,
and the Hon. the Governor begs him to accept his acknow.
ledgements, and to convey to the officers and men his best
thanks for the prompt and effectual assistance rendered by
them on this occasion. '

We cannot, however, refrain from adding that the praise
worthy zeal of the military was powerfully seconded by the
inhabitants of the town, both European and natives ; and that
no individual exertion was more conspicuous than that of ma
excellent Oovernor, who was to be seen in all parts where as.
sistance could be most effeetually rendered, aiding and en•
couraging those around, him.
LATIOII/1 LTICHBARS.—We stated yesterday, from the La-
hors Illthhar, that the Sikh Army, under the personal com.
:nand of ltaah ftungit Sing; hid arrived at the villago or Ili 1.
nore, near Vjizierabad ; and that orders had been issued to cod.
lect boats for the crossing of the Grand Army,—this was in the
early part of April ; and we have just leant, that account*
had reached Lucknow of the Sikh Chieftain having attacked
the Moraines, and that on the 20th of April he slew 26,000
men, and entered Kabool with his victorious army. The non.
payment of the stipulated tribute, was said to be the cause of
hostilities. The King of Kabool, has retired to the interior of
the country.—(illaras courier.)
A friend in the district of Tirhoot (who we hope will become
a staunch contributor to our columns), informs us in a letter
under date the 12th instant., that several showers had fallen in
that district lately, and that the Indigo Crop does not look so
11l as is generally represented :—on the contrary, he assures us.
that the cultivation of wane Factories is highly promising.

COURT 111ARTIATJ.

CALCUTTA, 31st MAY, 1823.—At A Native General Court
Martial assembled at Dinapore, on Friday the 9th day of May,
1823, Meer Mahomed Ally, Subadar of the 24 Battalion 2,311
Regiment Native Infantry, was arraigned upon the under.men.

Charitcter of an Officer, in having at kissengunge, on or about
the 215th of October 182-2, stolen a copper vessel lent to Sewjat

Upon which Charges the Court came to the following tle.

dered the Evidence adduced on the prosecution, as well as what
has been urged on the defence, is of opinion that:the prisoner

(Signed) EDWARD PAGET,
General Commander-in-Chief.

Remarks by Ms Excel Marls the commander4n-Chity: '
Peculiar circumstances rendering it impossible to order this
Court-Alartial to re.assemble for the purpose of reconsidering
their Verdict, the Commander-in-Chiet is reduced to the alter-
native of immediately recording his unqualified disapproval of
their Sentence.

His Excellency refrains from any observations upon the de.
cision of the Court on the first charge,. because be imagines
that the direct viva voce examination of Witnesses must have
afforded the Court a better opportunity of justly appreciating
their several testimonies, than the perusal of a written record
can ; but with regard to the second charge, the finding and
sentence are too much at variance.to be passed over without
comment.

It is clear that the Court mast have entertained a very in-
adequate idea of the magnitude of the offence laid in this charge,
for otherwise they must, in, due regard to their oath, after a
Verstict of Guilty, had passed a very diMrent sentenee,—whilst
no imainable motive strikes the Commander in Chief's mind,
as likely to have led a person of rile prisoner's rank anti re-
spectability, to the commtitsion of such a crime.
Doubts arises out of those considerations, to the benefit of
which the tinhar is englitted ; for in such a case, and with
such doubts hanging op ut it, his Excellency cannot recon-
dle it to himself to submit a native commissioned officer to.the
degradation which would for over attend the infliction of the
sentence passed .by the Court upon such a charge.
The General Officer commanding the division will be pleas-
ed to direct that those observatious shall be explained to Alter.
Mallet-fled Ally, Sithetlar of tho 2d battaliOn 2'.id Native in-
fantry, who, after being seriously admonished as to the nem,
sity of circumspection in his future conduct, is to be released
from arrest, anti direct to return to his duty.

THE GREEK CAUSE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin—Allow me to oiler you my best thanks
for the zealous and spirited manner in which
you have taken up the cause of suffering Greece;
and I also avail myself of this occasion, to
acknowledge with gratitude the readiness
eviosed by the Editors of all the Journals I
have visited (without any regard to their pp-
,
litical opinions) to promote the, object of my
journey. ris perfect accordance in the Prestiy

the great organ and guide of priblic opinion, is the,
best proof that Could be adduCed of the justice
of,the cause r are endeavouring, however feebly,
to plead ; while its support affords the: surest
earnest that my humble labours will not be alto,
gether unsuccessful. As [have already discovered
that the greateSt misconceptions have prevailed,
both with reSpett to'the origin and nature of the
struggle in Greece, it becomes my duty to de-
clare, that the object of the printed Papers T am•
circulating, is to slew,, that a nation of Christians
is not Only contending for existence, but, de-
prived of food and raiment, are bravely fighting
to preserve Christianity in the East of Europe„.
exposed to all the itlelelnelicies of a season ren-
dered doubly severe by the mountainous nature
of the country in which the contest is carried on.
Now, if these ,facts are incontrovertible, and
there is ample evidence that they are, how is it.
possible for any person, professing the doctrines
of Christianity, to withhold his sympathy front
the ill-fated Greeks, without a dereliction of
that sublime maxim which forms the very corner
stone of our faith ?

As 1 did not undertake my present journey
before I conceived that every objectio►► urged
against the Greek people and their cause had been
satisfactorily answered', I shall not now stop to
enter the field of controversy, in making any
new allusion to exploded prejudices but one
demur, of which I have only heard since I quitted
the Metropolis, requires a word or two by way
of reply. Some individuals, actuated no doubt by
the best intentions, withhold their mite, beca►.►se
they do not wisl► to subscribe to a fund intended.

for the support of war ; although, if ever there
ought to be any exception to this philanthropic
rule, it should surely be made where a nation
of Christians are opposed to INlahometans who
have frequently argued on the expediency 44
their total extermination. It is of imporiae,4o
to inform thew, that the Nociety at Frientlit,
whose subscription has been productive of
incalculable benefit to thousands of forlorn and
distressed Greeks, is open to the benevolent
of every sect. As, however, in conformity to
the original design, relief is only extended
to those Greeks who have Bed from Mussel_

man fury, its operation must necessarily he con-
tined to a smaller circle than that of the Greek,
Committee, which is, in fact, intended as well to
succour the needy outcasts of Greece, us to pre-
vent and avert the direful calamity thut must
mediately ensue, should they be vanquished
the pending struge;lo,,

flaying stated the above facts it merely remains
ror me to add, that the great object of solicitude
with the friends of Greece is, to witness the forma.

tion of local associations it► the principal towns of
the, kingdom, on the model of that just established
at Cambridge ; and they arr abovo all things de-
sirons that, like the Cambridge Committee, an
association brought together for the hallowed
purpose of saving a whole Christian commu►tity
from perishing, he not cont►►minated by the pes6
tilential breath of party spirit or politieni

Agreeably to this plan, I urn most sedulous in

lion. I have but one sorrowful tale to disclose. to
all—l tell them, that remscitated and struggling
Greece is at this moment stretching out her
hands to a nation still mnowned through the
world for love of freedom, and her generosity to
the oppressed of every clime and country.
Leaving it to those I thus address to lay their
hands on their hearts, and say how far they are
bound by the ties of religion and mordity,
