PROTEST OF THE DUKE OF WELLING-
TON AGAINST THE THIRD READING.
Dissentient,
Ist. Because the union of the two provinces of Upper
and Lower Canada into one province, to be governed
by one Administration and Legislature, is inconsistent
with sound policy.
2d. Bacons° the territory contained in the two pro-
vinees is too extensive to be so governed with convenience.
3d, Because the communications from one part of the
country to others are very lung and difficult ; the diffi-
culties whereof very not only in different localities and
parts of the tiountry, but in the same locality at different
seasons of the year.
4th. Because the expense which might be incurred
to remedy the inconveniences and to overcome the dif-
ficulties of the communications at one season would not
only be useless, but might be prejudicial, and render
the communications impracticable at other seasons.
sth. Because, even in the hypothesis that a central
place is Axed upon as the metropolis and seat of Go-
vernment of the united province, and for the Assembly
of the Legislature, still the communication with the
distant parts of.the united province would require a
journey of from 500 to 1,000 miles by land or by water,
and in most cases by, Loh,
6th. Pacause the inhabitants of these provinces,
having originally emigrated from different parts of the
world, talk different languagas,and have been governed
and have held their lands and possessions under laws
and usages various in their principle and regulations as
are the countries from which they originally emigrated,
and as are their respective languages.
7th. Because portions of this mixed population pro-
fess to believe in not less than fifteen different systems or
ssctions of Christian belief or opinion ; the clergy of
some of these being maintained by establishments,
those of others not, the Roman Catholic clergy of
French origin being maintained by an establishment,
while the Roman Catholic clergy attached to the Roiaan
Catholic population of British origin have no estab-
lished maintenance ; and the system of provision for the
clergy of the Churches of England and Scotland is stil
under discussion in Parliament.
Bth. Because these inhabitants of the two provinces,
divided as they arc in religious opinions, have no com-
mon interest, excepting the navigation of the river St.
Lawrence, in the exclusive enjoyment of which they
cannot protect themselves, whether internally, within
their own territory, or externally ; but they must look
for protection in the enjoyment of the same to the po-
litical influence and naval and military power of the
British empire.
9th. Because the legislative union of these provinces
is not necessary in order to render them the source of
great influence and power to the mother country.
10th. Because the operations of the late war, ter-
minated in the year 1815, by the treaty of Ghent,
which were carried on with but little assistance from
the mother country in regular troops, have demonstrated
that these provinces are capable of defending themselves
against all the efforts of their powerful neighbours the
United States.
11th. Because the military operations in the recent
insurrection and rebellion have tended to show that the
military resources and qualities of the inhabitants of
Upper Canada have not deteriorated since the late war
in North America.
12th. Because the late Lieutenant-Governor of
Upper Canada, Sir Francis Head, having, upon the
breaking out of the rebellion in Lower Canada, in the
year 1837, detached from Upper Canada all the regular
forces therein stationed, relied upon the loyalty, gallan-
try, and exertions of the local troops, militia, and volun-
teers of the province of Upper Canada.
13th. Because, with the aid of those, under the com-
mand of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of
Upper Canada, Colonel Sir Allan M:Nab, he first de-
feated the rebels in Upper Canada, and then aided in
putting down the rebellion in Lower Canada, at the
same time that he was carrying on operations in resist-
ance to the invasion of the province under his govern-
ment by plunalerers, marauders, and robbers from the
United States, under the name of sympathisers in the
supposed grievances of the inhabitants of the provinces
of Upper and Lower Canada.
14th. Because the legislative union of the two
provinces, although the subject of much literary and
other discussion, had never been considered by the
Legislature of Upper Canada, excepting on terms which
could not be proposed, or by aoy competent authority
in the lower province, excepting in the report of a late
Governor-General.
15th. Because the Bill introduced into Parliament
in the year 1839, having in view a legislative union
of the two provinces of Upper aad Lower Canada, was
withdrawn before it was completed.
16th. Because the Legislature of the province of
Upper Canada, which had co-operated with the Go-
vernment under Sir Francis Head, and had enabled
him, after getting the better of the insurrection in
I Upper Canada, to assist the Commander-in-Chief of
her Majesty's forces in 1837 and 1838 to put down
the rebellio.rA ,irt the province of Lower Canada, was
not fairly, consulted upon the proposed measures for
the legislative union of the two provinces.
17th. Because a despatch, dated the 16th of Octo-
ber, 1839, having for its object the introduction into
Upper Canada of new rules for the future administra-
tion of the patronage of the Government, and for the
tenure of office, was made public at Toronto on seine
days previous to the assembly of the Legislature of
Upper Canada, for the purpose of taking into considera-
tion the proposed law for the legislative union of the
two provinces, and the Members of the two Chambers
of the Provincial Parliament of Upper Canada must
have had reason to believe that her Majesty's Govern-
ment were anxious to carry through that particular
measure ; and that they would be exposed to all the
consequences of opposition to the views of her Majesty's
Government, as communicated in the said despatch, if
they should object to the Bill proposed to them.
18th. Because it is well known that there is in Upper
Canada a large body of persons eager to obtain the es-
tablishment in her Majesty's colonies in North America
of local responsible government, to which they had
been encouraged to look by the Report of the late
Governor-General, the Earl of Durham, recently pub-
lished.
19th. Because these persons considered that the des-
patch of the 16th of October, 1839, then published,
held out the prospect of the establishment of a local
responsible government under the Government of
the united provinces.
20th. Because another despatch, dated 14th Oc-
tober, 1839, appears to have been sent to the Gover-
nor-General at the same time with that of the 16th
October, 1839 ; in which despatch of the 14th Octo-
ber, 1839, her Majesty's Secretary of State clearly ex-
plains the views of her Majesty's Government upon the
subject of; and against the concession of local respon-
sible government in the colonies.
21st. Because this despatch was not published, nor
its contents made known, in Upper Canada during the
Session of the Legislature, for the consideration of the
measure of the legislative union, although called for by
the provincial Parliament, upon which call the Go-
vernor-General answered by the expression of " his
regret that it was not in his power to communicate to
the House of Assembly any despatches upon the sub-
ject referred to."
22d. Because the Legislature of Upper Canada must
have voted in favour of the measure proposed to them
while under the influence of a sense of the intentions of
Government declared to be erroneous in relation to the
despatch of the 16th of October ; and in total ignorance
of the intentions of her Majesty's Government in re-
spect to local responsible government in the colonies, as
declared in the despatch from the Secretary of State to
the Governor-General dated the 14th October, which it
appears that his Excellency had in his possession, during
the discussions in the Provincial Parliament of Upper
Canada, on the measure of the legislative union of the
two provinces.
2:3d. Because it appears the French population of
Lower Canada have generally declared against the
legislative union of the two provinces.
24th. Because the Bill cannot be considered by any
as giving facility to the administration of the Govern-
ment of the province of Canada by her Majesty's offi-
cers, when united by virtue of its provisions ; and
security in the dominion to the Crown of the United
Kingdom.
25. Because the difficulties existing in the Govern-
ment of the two provinces of Upper an Lower Canada
under the provisions of the Act of the 31st Geo. 111.,
which led to insurrection and rebellion, were the result
of party spirit, excited and fomented by leaders in the
Legislative Assembly in each province, acting in lat-
ter times in communication, concert, cad co-operation
with citizens of the bordering provinces of the United
States.
26th. Because the union into one Legislature of the
discontented spirits heretofore existing in two separate
Legislatures will not diminish, but will tend to augment,
the difficulties attending the administration of the Go-
vernment ; particularly under the circumstances of the
encouragement given to expect the establishment in the
united province of a local responsible administration 0,.
government.
27th. Meat's° a spirit had still been manifested in the
adjoining provinces of the United States in recent acts
of outrage upon the lives and property of her 'Majestys
subjects on the frontier, and even within her Majesty's
dominions, which must tend to show in what light the
spirit of opposition to her Majesty's Administration in

This may be called reckless assertion, but, I
think, admits of proof :—lst. The landed interest
export nothing. They send nothing abroad. We
are their only customers. Therefore, neither land-
owner, farmer, fanner's labourer, nor any individual
who lives by. the land, can obtain one single shilling
but by manufactures. 2d. How do the haughty
aristocrats procure their wines, their brandies, their
silks, their furs, their spices, and the whole cata-
logue of pampering luxuries ? By manufactures.
The tea, coffee, sugar, tallow, timber, dye-woods,
drugs, and a hundred et-ceteras ? By manufactures.
What brings even the gold back, when it has I
been sent away by a great and unexpected demand
for grain and manufactures ? How do we get cot-
ton, silk, wool, and indeed the raw material, for
most of our trades? By 'manufactures. Here,
then, is proof that if the agriculturists were left to
themselves, they could obtain neither clothing nor
any one article produced in any other part of the
world, as no other fools upon earth would take
their produce at the present monopolising prices.
They might eat their own dear bread, and go
naked like their druidical ancestors.
On the other hand, if they abandoned us, we
could procure all the before mentioned articles, be-
sides grain, cattle, &c., in exchange for our nume-
rous productions. Whereas, we have not only to
labour for every luxury these monopolizing cormo-
rants enjoy, but we have to support their depend-
ents and ourselves into the bargain. What do they
do for us ? They boast of their millions of labour-
ers, with their nine shillings a week, and bluster
and seagger what customers they are. Now, what
clothing can they buy for themselves and families
out of nine shillings a week ? The price of their pro-
visions prevents them from being good customers of
ours. One I—yes, one Yorkshire woollen ma-
nufacturer would supply with coats all the land la-
bourers of England. Indeed .it is notorious that
the workers in the corn-growing districts are not,
and cannot be, consumers of our manufactures.
Where, then, is the predominant interest ?—that
which fetches every product of the habitable globe
to our shores, or that which brings to market half
a dozen commodities which no other country will
bring ; and which they compel us, by law, to have,
at prices 30 per cent higher than those of
the United States, or of continental Europe.
Away, then, with the Buckingham humbug—
Let us hear no more of the landed interest having
a claim to exclusive Parliamentary protection.
With the present prices for British farm produce,
and with the present rents for farms and land, tri-
pled in hundreds of instances since 1800, the vaunt-
ing, puffed-up landowners do not bear any share of
our enormous burdens. But let them take warning;
their reign will be transient. The enterprising
merchants of London, Manchester, Liverpool,
Glasgow, and of the three kingdoms, will not
see their last shilling taken from them by the
murderous Corn- laws. No I The time is not far

distant, when, if our prayers are unregardcd, we
shall be all Quaker:3 when either the local or na-

tional tax-gatherer calls, and shall say—" Sir, we
arc not resisting the law ; we are willing to pay
every legal impost, but all our money goes for food,
and if your masters—our law-makers—are resolved
to maintain their law, they must also have the plea-
sure of seeing twenty thousand sales of our goods
for every tax levied upon us, for we cannot pay in
money."

JUSTITIA.
Bolton, Lancashire, July 9, 1840.

AFFECTING INCIDENT.--The husband of
poor woman, residing with her three infant children in the
vestern part of the town, had abstained from the " crathur"
for‘ nearly a year, until last week, when he became savagely
drunk,—beat his wife as if he had resolved to murder her—was
arrested, tried, committed, and consigned to the tender
mercies of the "donjon keep." The wife, forgetttng the re-
cent brutality of the father of her children, in the remem-
brance of his former kindness, followed him to the gaol, and
made strenuous and persevering application for his release,
urging, with touching eloquence, that she was a friendless
woman, soon again to become a mother, and her three little
children were alone, among strangers, without friends or pro-
tection, and without food or decent clothing. Those to whom
she applied either had not power, 'or were not satisfied of the
propriety of liberating him, and she was cast upon the charity
of our citizens. A day or two since, as a last resource, she
appealed to the Judge of our County Court, and was success-
ful. Hastening with a glad heart t 3 the gaol, with the order
for her husband's liberation, she found him—dead.—New-
haven Herald,

HATT ON-GARDEN.
SHOCKING CASE.—Yesterday, Eli:obelh Cleveland,
aged 53 years, who was described hi the police sheet as
a brothel keeper, residing at No. 26, Lucas. place,
Cromer-street, St. Pancras, was placed at the bar, be-
fete Mr. Combo, charged by George Day, a cab-Ariver,
residing at No. 12, Eagle-court, Hoiborn, with haying-
assaulted him by throwing over him a quantity of vitriol,
by which he was most shockingly injured. The prose-
cutor, who is a young man, appeared with his ez,unte-
nance dreadfully disfigured, and was conducted into the
Court nearly hl!nd in both his eyes. His hat and clothes
were burnt and discoloured, and he was suffering the
most excruciating agony. Being sworn, he stated that
on Monday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, he was passing
by the prisoner's house, when !t young woman hailed hint
from the windows and told him to enter, which he did,
aid he proceeded to en apartment, when she told him.
to send for something to drink ; he refused to do so, on
which she prevected him front leaving the house. Wit-
ness, however, endeaveured to go out of the room, when
the prisoner stoppad him and said, " You are not going
to leave it, this manner—you must stand something to
drink." He still refused to do so, and made au effort to
!cave the place•, when the prisoner seized a bottle contair-
ing some liquid, and threw it in his eyes—it covered his
face, hat, and clothes, and burnt him dreadfully. He
found it impossible for him to open his eyes—he made
an alarm when a policeman came to his assistance, and
took the prisoner to the statien-house, and he, witness,
was taken to the 17orth London Hospital for medical
assistance. He had been completely deprived of the
sight of his tight eye, and the left was so completely
injured that there was no doubt of his becoming totally
blind.

Sergeant Dodd, 9 E division, stated that when the
prisoner was brought to the station-house, on asking her
what she had to say to the eharg,e, she admitted that.
the bottle contained vitriol ; that she threw it over him,
and that she was very sorry. The prosecutor she said
refused to ply some money which was claimed of him,
when he took up a poker and threatened her.
Prosecutor—lt is false ; I gave no provocation. I
was inveigled into the house, and she threw it delibe-
rately over me.

Mr.
COMBE said that he never heard of a more infa-
mous and gross ease in all his life, and he would commit
the prisoner for trial.

As it was necessary, however, to have the c% idence
of the surgeon, the prisoner was remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Yesterday Peter Conolly and John Collins were brought
up for further examination, on suspicion of being concerned
in the robbery of a pocket-book, containing 10,000 francs,
in French notes, from the person of a foreign gentleman
named Aizard.
The circumstances of the case are already before the
public. They were briefly recapitulated by Mr. Clarkson,
who appeared for the prosecution.
Mr. Isaacs told Mr. Long that he had reason to be-
lieve Davis would not make his appearance. In fact, be
was over the water arranging some business.
Mr. Clarkson, under these. circumstances, should press
for the necessary step to be taken to cstreat Davis's re_
cognizances.

Mr. Alzard came forward and proved the identity of
the 1,000 franc notes produced. He knew them by their
numbers, folds, and pin-marks. He had entered the num •
bers in a beck which he had sent for to England, but
which he had not then with him.
Mr. LONG said he should remand the prisoners, and he
should require, at the next examination, the production of
the bock.
Mr. Robinson, abo appeared for Cannily, said he had
clear procf in corroboration of Conolly's former state-
ment that he was at church at the time of the robbery, and
if he produced it, would the MagiStrate feel disposed to
discharge the prisoner?
Mr. LoNcr replied that Mr. Alzard had sworn to the
person of the prisoner as being on board the Falcon on
the day of the robbery, and this was confirmed by his
friend who was with him. Now any counter evie'ence
must raise a question of credit as to the i.itnesses, a mat-
ter which h 0 thought more proper for the determination
of a Jury than a Mrgistrate.
Mr. Robinson said, under these circumstances, he should
reserve his alibi for another place.
Mr. Isaacs mentioned he had been informed that Davis
would make his appearance before the proceedings closed ;
he, however, pledged himself to nothing.
Mr. LONG said Davis, by mistake, had been required to
attend -on Wednesday He 51,00,1

The Carn-laws are now the greatest, and in
truth the only, obstacle in the way of an immediate revival of
a successful and prosperous trade. They almost effect a total
exclusion or our flour and grain from the English market.
The consequence is that we cannot pay our debts, or buy
more geo.ls with our surplus produce,- The orders which we
send for British manufactured goods are unusually and exceed.
ingly small, because we cannot get our property into her ports
to pay for them. This is a two-edged sword, which cuts the
throat of b )th nations. England loses the custom of ber most
extensive purchaser; her goods are left on hand ; her manu-
facturers suspend operations and throw their labourers cut of
employ. We not only are deprived of a market for our flour,
but we find also the demand for our great staple, cotton, dimi-
nished, and its price- falling off. Any man of reflection e.-At
eaiily trace out in his mind the various and endless fluctuations
in commerce which must be produced by such a state of things.
And an this load of evil is inflicted upon the world for the ex-
clusive benefit, with htirdly an exception, of a few titled aristo-
crats in Englanl. Who can think of it with any degree, of
patience ?—New York St.4o of June 15.
