people, and he had no object whatever in view but the truth.
In 1774 Mr. Burke made a speech somewhat similar in pur-
port, respecting the colonies of England at that period in a
state of civil commotion, yet he was scouted at, and all:kinds
of vituperation showered on him both within and without the
colonies separated from the mother country in consequence of
the protracted neglect of their just complaints. In precisely the
same position as Mr. Burke was then, he (Mr. R.) was now ;
and he conscientiously believed the Canadas now to be in
the identical potition in which the United States of America
were then. It was idle to taunt him with exciting the people
of the Canadas to rebellion. If they had no cause all the
words he could say would fall on their ears unheeded—if
they had cause, as he was convinced they had, his words
might have the effect of a warning to the Government. He
hoped the warning would be attended to ; and the evil which
menaced the country in that country be averted. The Go-
vernment might affect to think lightly of his statements, but
he could assure them that they might be depended on. He
had his information from quarters in that country which had
more power there than the Government itself, and matters
were communicated to him which never reached the ear of
Colonial Office. He trusted that his predictions would be
falsified ; but he could not help perceiving that they were
very near being accomplished.
Sir R. PEEL congratulated the Hon. Member on the al-
tered tone of his second address, which he said was conceived
and addressed in a far wiser, better, and more temperate
spirit than the first.
In reply to a question put by Mr. Hume,
Sir R. PEEL said that every possible degree of caution had
been used in the selection of the individual who was to be sent
to Canada as the Representative of the British Government ;
and every necessary power had been conferred on him to set-
tle the questions at issue between the local Executive and the
Legislature. He had also to state that a notification of the
appointment, and an intimation of the probable time of his
arrival, had been sent to the Canadas upwards of six weeks
since.

Mr. LABOUCHERE hoped that the hands of the Com-
missioner would not be tied up to one particular object; but
that he would be permitted and empowered to investigate, not
alone the present complaints, but the causes which led to them ;
and if these causes arose from any defect in the legislative con-
stitution of the colonies that he should be at liberty to intro-
duce changes and make such alterations as would give general
satisfaction to the people.
Sir R. PEEL thought the best way would be to preserve
silence on the subject until he was permitted to enter into an
explanation of his Majesty's views.
The petition was then ordered to lie on the table.
EDUCATION IN IRELAND.
Mr. SHIEL wished to know of the Right Hon. Secretary
for the Home Department whether the Government had ap-
plied to the Commissioners of Public Instruction in Ireland
for i report of their proceedings, and whether they had ob-
tained from them any report as yet ?
Mr. Secretary GO ULBURN said that an application had
been made to the Commissioners, but that no report had been
made by them as yet. They had, however, in their answer to
the Government held out a prospect of an early report.
WAYS AND MEANS.
On the motion of Sir R. PEEL, the House then resolved
itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. Bernal in
the Chair.
The following sums were then voted by the Committee :-
15,000,000/. in Exchequer Bills, in lieu of those charged on
the supply of 1831.

2,066,600/., part of the sum now in his Majesty's Exchequer,
to complete the Transfer of Aids for 1833 and 1834.
60,000/. Compensation, Pensions, and Allowances to Offi-
cers retired and on half-pay in the service of the Hon. East
India Company.
And an indefinite sum for the re-payment of Exchequer
Bills advanced for public works and West India relief.

The House then resumed.
SUPPLIES.

Mr. HUME wished to state, in regard to the notice which
he had given the other night of an intended motion upon the
subject of the Supplies, that he now found it was considered
preferable that they should be granted for a period of three
months instead of six; he should, accordingly, present his
motion in that more acceptable shape.—( Hear, hear, and
laughter from the Ministerial benches.)
Sir R. PEEL—The motion will be made, then, on the
Navy Estimates.
Mr. HUME—Yes,—on the first vote.
The Chester Criminals Execution Bill was then read a third
time and passed.
