so re Ilion, it is extremely desirable that the said lands,
sale served, be sold, and the proceeds arieiteg horn the
Le of the same placed at the disposal of the provincial
gislature, to be applied exchteLvely for that purpose.
Mr. W. ELLIS eeceeeled the motion.
O Lord JOHN 'eIt7S`..;ELL said, with regard to the
ne' Cleutlemete's statement that the Bill was contrary
tua .w.isiyes of the province, and carried because the
l'Pe.sit..to had left town, he thought it was clear that
81c1', 'was not the case, for if it had been so, and the
Irr‘tosition had desired to oppose it, they would not
ye left town, His object throughout the matter had
,s
ten to attain a feir settlement, by which these lands
he sold and disposed of with advantage tot
he
:province. The Bill
was not exactly what he couhl have
it
-7ished, but he thought it would be' better to settle
'n this way than to defer it to a future period. He
therefore hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not press
his motion.
.1:1111e. PAKINGTON thought the Hon. Member for
--eittenny must be under a mistake, and have spoken
of another Bill, since this one had never received the
drxision of the Legislature of Canada at all.—(Hear.)
Mr. T. HOBHOUSE sdel, he feared that whatever
.'Objection there might he to this Bill, they should not
be able to carry any other through the House at '.sat:Period of the Session. The Church of Einelend
nh
Peered to possess a great advantage 'Bin, and
also the previous one of the Noble, feted, which he
thought a better one than the present. Stiil, as it op-
Peered to hira that any settleenent of the question was
b
better the no settlement at all, he thought it would
t;e inexr edient in his Hon. Friend to press his mo-
o te• a division. The Church of England composed
et rine-fifth of the different religious persuasions in
V lads, and he therefore thought this Biil granted it a
feat deal too much. He thought also it would have
'Leen better if these funds had been invested in securities

hoped the alteration made in the Bill would not les-
•,"n its value in Canada with those Dissenters who bad
re,' so energetic in their defence of the Province ; but
" feared, from the despatch of the Governor-General,
,B,t4tirtg the. difficulty he had in procuring the assent of
r4lsrovince to the original measure, that such might
it,"' the caee, on account of the ascendancy he gave to the
-3/4stahlished Church. He hoped, however, that such
treele
trot be the case, as since the Provinces were
Pritel, it was desirable to de away with every cause of
isteri&on. Although, therefore, he saw much to ap-
vi'l°lufe in the motion of his Hon. Friend, he hoped he
Oa not press it to a division.
1. BRINES said, that if his Hon. Friend pressed
motion to a division he should feel bound to vote
ofthhioa, 'l*ic Church' of England had a lion's share
these reserves, and ha did not consider that distribu-
iiit:.eri.ielliZythrneseeafnusndasn equitable one. Many could

JOIIN RUSSELL said the terms in which
