I( Hear, hear)--and the amount of timber that was now intro- Riding Union, 2% p.
duced into this country from Canada had increased 120/. ler
cent. And what hail become of the Baltic and foreign timber
when the duty was redu,'ed from 555. to 25e, being 5-liths. ?
The duty received in 1841 upon Baltic timber was a little
above 1,000,0001. In the year 1843 the amount received was
exactly in proportion to the reduction of the duty-eenamely,
575,000/. ; but in the two subsequent yeare—in 1844 and
1845—it was 820,0001. ; and in the last year it was 47,0001.
Under those circumstances he would say that, looking at the
experience of the last three years, the Hoarse need have n
fear of the fulfilment of the woful predictions of the Noble
Lard. And what did the House of Lords say in 1820? He
believed he might say that that House was mast anxious to
aroteet. ;01 aorta of native, or domestic, or colonial interests,
nd yet they stated that the consequence of a reduction in the
duties of the timber would be of advantage to the people of
Canada and of this country. At the present moment, the re-
turns which were upon the table of the House showed that the
Canadian and Baltic timber trade had flourished and
increased sheet the reduction of the duty. But
Cite Noble Lord had also said that he objected to
the present policy of the Government, because the consumer
would reap no benefit. And yet he ( et', Q. Clerk) had shown
that since the reduction of than duties the quatitity of timber
that had Leon impoeted into this country from Canada and
Dollop bad vastly increased—in fact, that it had doubled.—
(Hear, hear.) But notwithstanding that great increase in the
Supplies, thy demand in this country for corn had become so
great that it could be scarcely met.--( Hear, hear.) He
would only ask, what would have been the effect, not only upon
railway speculations, but all those pit-poses for which timber
was applied, if the protective system had been'persisted in with
regard to the impartation of foreign timber ? If they had kept
pp the old system of protection, he was confident that those
great railway schemes to which the present unusual prosperity
Or this eountry was mainly to be attributed, would not have
been commenced. The Hon. Merolscr for Sunderland (
Hudson) would be able to answer for that. It appeared that
no less than 2, ,1(9,0(10/. worth of timber hal been expended
it; r4ilro4d4 within the last few years. Then the Noble Lord
had said that the effect of the present measures would be the
lowering of the price of timber in Canada. But the fact would
be the reverse in consequence of the enormous and
increased demand in this country.—(Hear, hear.)
Within the last three years, in consequClac! of
the increased demand, the price had at past doubled.
Ha would then ask whether the Hoot need entertain the
slightest apprehension as to the ruin of the Canadian trade in
oormequence of the present Government measures?—(Elear,
hear.) The Noble Lord had aiol stated, that if these measures
were passed, it weeld by impossible, for the shipping interests
of this country to be able to compete with that of Nor-
way, Penmark, or the other countries where the shipping in.
terest formed a principal feature in their commerce.
But . was perfectly clear, from the evidence of
the most eminent shipowners of this country, that
in consequence of the reduction in the duties on the timber,
the shipowners: of this country would be at le to compete ea ith
the shipowners of any other country. It had also been stated
by the Ncble Lord, that the number of ships had not increased,
as might have been anticipated, in consequence of the increase
in population, but the total cumber, at the present moment,
engaged in English .commerce was upwards of 31,000; and it
must also be borne in mind, that the present ships were much
more expeditioult and capacious than those of former years..
The Aight Hon. Gentleman then proceeded, amidst loud cries
of " Divide, divide," to state that, since the passing of the
last tariff, ships could be built (on the evidence of the
principal shipbuilders of Liverpeol, &c.) at least 30
per cent. cheaper than they could previously.—( Hear.)
But notwithstanding these fiets, the tonnage of the country
increased to a far greater degree "hen any other country ; and
it was, therefore, clear that the mercantile marine had not been
injured by the policy of the Government in reducing the duties
on timber, but hail been greatly increased. . Let them look to
the port of London, as being one of the largest ports, and they
would find that in 1841 the home tonnage was 722,000, and
the foreign was 255,000, being in the proportion of one-third
to the home; in 1844 the home tonnage was 1,800,000, whits
the foreign tannage amounted to only 383,000. He thought,
therefore, that no injury could arise to the colonial or home
shipping by the proposed measure.
Mr. BULLER thought he had a right to make a few
observations, and to ask the indulgence of the House for that
purpose, as he was the only free-trade Member who had not
yet taken part in that discussion. He considered, also, that his
Intimate- acquaintance with the affairs of Canada, and the
general interest he had taken in colonial questions, would war-
rant him in making a few brief remarks on this question. He
was of opinion that the Noble Lord ( Bentinck), before
he unfurled his union jack--( Laughter )—in bold
defiance should have exhibited more of the prudence
and discretion of the statesman. He thought that
instead of indulging in vituperation of the Members of the
American Senate and the Royal Family of France, that it
would have been much better had he used the language of
dignified courtesy, and rather than attempt to lay thefounda-
tion of war, that he had endeavoured to lay Vie basis of per-
mantent peaceful relations.—( Hear, hear.) This would have
been the more advisable course for him to have adopted rather
than to have been bandying bombast with the braggarts of the
American Senate, and justifying the tone of the poor Mr.
Adams by using a tone of congenial bluiter•—(Loud cheers. )
When the Noble Lord said that toe policy of. the Government
would induce Canada to consider the question of annexation
with America, lee pulled out a copy of the itontreal Pilot in
confirmation of that statement. Now, he (Mr. Buller)
would ask, did that paper give vent to the public indignation?
It raid that it was of such great importance, and involved
such mighty consequences, that it would take a week to think
of it.—( Laughter.) Daring the last twenty years, he thought
he might safely say that the Goverment of Canada had not
given a single office away. But those who ware opposed to
the appointment cried out that they would endeavour to rid
themselves of British connexion. He contended that the Go-
, venment had pursued a course of policy in refer-
ence to Canada which was dictated by the best
mat most statesmanlike principles; and the circumstances of
their sending out there such men as Sir Charles Bagot and
Lord Metcalf proved that they were desirous of comenting the
relationship of it with this country by the strongest possible
ties. That policy had done more to establish good feeling and
coreentment than all the monopoly of their restrictive system.
The Noble Lord said that all Canada was roused with feelings
of the strongest indignation against the present measure. Now,
he (Mr. Buller) must say, that if that were the case, it was
the most stupid indignation any ccuntry had ever entertained.
(Lord George Bentinck intimated that it was the corn question
' they found fault with). Where, he would ask, did all the
timber come from? It came from East Canada, with the ex-
ception of a small portion of West Carada, on the banks of the
Ottawa. The province of West Canada had no interest whatever
in the timber duties. In a dispatch of Lord Sydenham when
the question was formerly agitated, he stated that not a single
soul living in East Canada had any interest whatever in it.
These were the indications of the indignation, which accord-
ing to the Noble Lord was so universally entertained. When the
alteration was proposed at that time, petitions came from vari-
ous parties he admitted, but Lone from the Parliament of
Upper Canada. The Parliament of Canada, East or Lower
Canada, sent out a petition, and said that they were ready to"„give
up the monopoly of the timber trade provided this country
gave them a free trade in corn. Such was the universal opi-
nion entertained in that country on this question. The shipping
trade of Canada was a system which reflected scandal upon
them. They sent out a parcel of old leaky vessels, and they
manned them with a set of disorderly. runaways. What was
the -effect of this mode of procedure? Did the mer-
chants prosper? There never had been se many bank-
ruptcies as had occurred in New Brunswick and
Lower Canada under the operation of this system.
There could be no doubt of it that the interests of the United
States would be cared for, and that they coal very easiiy find a
permanent market for their timber elsewhere. But the
Government should protect the people of England by allowing
Baltic timber to come in upon the proposed terms, and let the
Canada timber find its market in the United States.—( Hear,
hear.) He looked upon this as a question of the greatest
importance to the people of this country, inasmuch as the
deelling of every man in the country would be affected by it,
or, in other words, would be affected by the vote which
this House should come to to-night. He had' heard a great
deal said about Canadian corn, which, he should say. he
looked upon as rather extraordinary ; and he saw one Hon.
Member opposite blushing high at the mere mention of it.—
(Laughter.) However, what had been, said in reference to
Canada was rather too much of a good thing, and he felt assured
' that the people of Canada would disavow it.—( Hear.) He
begged to thank the House for the patience with which it had
heard him.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and "Divide, divide.")
The House then divided, when there appeared to be—

TURNPIKE ROADS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Mr. FOX AI AULE moved the sevond reading of the Turn-
pike Roads (Scotland) Bill, and said that it would be a mea-
sure which would be attended with great benefit to that
country (as we understood him).
Mr. F. M'KENZIE said, that though not opposed to the
principle of the Bill, he was not prepared, at that late hour of
the night, to go into a second reading.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. F. MAULE stated that as the objection was not taken
to the notice, he saw no reason why it si not then be read
a second time.—( t • ear, hear. )
Mr. SCOTT also hoped they would not go into the second
reading at that late hour.—( Hear, hear.)
Sir H. CAMPBELL was decidedly opposed to the prin-
ciple of the Bill, and would, therefore, oppose the second read-
ing.—( Hear, hear. )
-Mr. FORBES and Mr. H. JOHNSTONE both hoped that the
second reading would not be then gone into, and there being
loud cries of " Divide, divide," the House was cleared for a

Majority
Mr. CHARLES HULLER moved for a return of the
outrages specially reported to tne constabulary office in Ireland,
during each of the years 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845 ; and also
an abstract return of total number of persons in Ireland ap-
pearing, by the returns of the clerks of the Crown and clerks
of the peace of the several counties, &c. to have been com-
mitted fir trial in the year 1845, as well as of those con-
victed, acquitted, discharged for no Bill fund, or no prose-
cution, or bailed and not triad ; distinguishing the various
offences.
Mr. CALEB POWELL moved for a return of all the cut-
rages charged as having been committed on the barony of
Ossory from the Ist of January, 1845, to the termination of
toe last as,izes. He thought that it was hardly necessary to
explain to the House his object in making this motion.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that he wished to say a few words
with regard to what bad fallen from the Hon. Member fur
Liskearc!. He believed that the constabulary returns had
no occasion for the return moved for by the Honourable
Member. He was most desirous that every information the
House could desire with reference to subjects that should be
preented before that House should be. obtained. For
the furtherance of that object he reserved to himself the right
of presenting information in addition to that sought by the Hon.
Member. With reference to the motion of the Hon. Member,
in addition to the one of which notice had been given, he was
not aware whether the particular information sought could be
obtained from any question.
Mr. C. BULLER said that his object in raising the question
was that he might save trouble by doing so.
The remaining orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at One o'clock.
