trust that this principle will be still carried on in the council°
over which I shall have the honour to preside, and carried 0%
safely and beneficially for the community.—(Hear, hear.) I,
will not touch upon that subject upon which my friend, gr'•
Gurney, is supposed to have addressed you. Upon that sub'
ject I may have shortly to address the House of Commoso(
but Ido say as a principle—a general principle—that while it
may be necessary to keep up certain duties for 01
purposes of revenue, which indirectly have the effect et
protection, that we ought to do away with that duty wbide
solely and entirely include protection.— (Hear, heir.) That
is, we ought to impose our taxes for the benefit of -all the
community, and not for the advantage of one class.—(lle*e"
hear.) Gentlemen, I do trust that the principle will ore
long be adopted by other nations of the world. There.
are two especially, with whom we have the greatest
relations, which I will now mention, and one is our immediate.
neighbour. The kingdom of France ruled over by a Pritie°
the most enlightened, who has contributed by his sagacity t°
preserve the peace of Europe.—(Hear.) I trust he Mai
find that his Chamber will concur with him in re" •:•
nouncing the errors of the commercial Systolat:
which now prevails in that country.—(Hear, hear") •
The other country to which I shall allude is the United
States of America, from which we have received such gra'
tifying intelligence.—(Hear, hear.) And I do rejoice that'
while such angry feelings were at one time expressed in that
country, that the wisdom of:the Senate of thetatited State,
has overruled all those angry sentiments, and has decided
favour of peace between them and us, which I trust tok!,..
endure for ages.—(Cheers.) And I do trust that the prin.'
ciples of commercial freedom will soon prevail, and that Of
intercourse with them may tend to the happiness of both d:
those nations —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have spoken in tbs,
address which I had the honour of directing to you, of IPaid,
tasks which yet remain—of our tasks which I am sure 10e.
be rendered at least more easy to undertake when we
given up this unprofitable task of attempting to direct th: •
industry of the country, better than the industry of th,
country can direct itself—(Hear, hear)—for this, in fact, P
all the principle of free trade. It is not, as some choose t°'
represent it, a strange and dangerous theory; it is nothing
else than a true system of legislation, by which we are el°
abled to direct the industry of the country, to direct tha
markets of the country, and to enable the poor neoPla
of this country to be employed in honest labour. iVheres

(Hear, hear.) The wisest House of Lords and the
Most virtuous House of Commons that ever
fisted cannot legislate so well upon this subject

and their own shops.—(Cheers.) Well, then, gentlemen,
we can get rid of this futile attempt, there then retnio
the subject of public education, upon which, I thin".
it behoves the Government, it behoves the Legislature'
to attempt a more extended system of education l°
this country.—(Dear, hear.) Of course, I mention no Pl_.l
I allude to ne scheme; but, with regard to education, I v"ci
only say this, that no plan can be good, or worth,'

gentlemen, having addressed these sentiments to rue&

great fears that my powers may be insufficient for the eti,
that I have undertaken, but if they could be at all cOnl!rti,

LINES ON THE DEATH OF
LATE HAYDOIN,

DI MILS. CILAILLE,i 'li.-A..EI

All thy Mists broken,
Dispersed through the past,
Oise shall not fail thee—
Alas! 'tis the last.!
What life refused thee
Death now s!:all give;
IVho I,:t thee die thus
Will now Lid thee live.

Why dtdet thou leave us
A mou'ry like this?
Torture so nigh to .
What might have been bliss!
Man could have saved thee,
His near aid was sought,
He turned from thee coldly-
-0 God, for the thought!
Noble and brave one,—
Aye, brave*, even here,
Forsaking thine own
For the lives that were dear—
Rank, without greatness,
And wealth, without. worth,
By thy sad proving
But cumber the earth.
Blessings encircle
The kind heart that shed
One bright beam on thine
Ere its dense shadows fled;
Thy pale hand uplifted,
This record, to bear,. ,
a picture so touching,
'Twill liVe everywhere!.

Gentle, and noble,
And sorely-tried heart,
Earth's yearning sorrow
Would reach where thou art!
Eagerly longing
To prove to thee yet,
If not its justice,
At least its regret.
_ _ 0, if such interest
As ours can thus grow
From closely observing
One human heart's woe,
What may not love,
From all worldly taint free,
The fathomless love
Of th_y God do for thee? iD
