QILITEIt SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixed metals is
entirely extracted—resist ng acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of ms New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS ( Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-

upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material
so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-

" The Army and Navy" was proposed from the Chair,
with three times three and all the honours. •
Sir G. MURRAY, in a feeling and eloquent speech, re-
turned thanks for the Army.
Captain DREW followed, and returned thanks on
behalf of the Navy.
His Grace the CHAIRMAN then said, he rose to pro-
pose the health of the distinguished individual who sat
on his right hand.—(Loud and vehement cheering,
which lasted some minutes.) He proposed the health
of Sir Allan Macnab, because he felt this country owed
Sir Allan a deep debt of gratitude for his services at a
moment of difficulty and danger.—(Cheers.) On the
occasion of that unfortunate' Outbreak—for outbreak he
must' be allowed to call it—Sir Allan Macnab came for-
ward, and gave all the weight of his influence and cha-
racter, which fortunately led to the alleviation of hos-
tilities.—(Cheers.) Sir Allan Macnabt who was leaving
the shores of this coentry, would carry with him the
assurance that the people of England looked upon the
Canadians with the feeling of brotherhood, and would
support them against all aggression—(Cheers)—andunite to. keep uplifted that flag under which Nelson
triumphed, and Wellington conquered.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir ALLAN MACNAB, who was received on his rising
with the warmest acclamations, proceeded to say, that
the complimentary manlier in which the Noble Chair-
man had spoken of his humble services, and the enthu-
siasm
.with which he had been received, demanded his
warmest acknowledgment. He had never anticipated
that the poor services he had rendered to the country—
services which had originated from his earnest desire to
preserve intact the integrity of the empire—could pos-
sibly have entitled him to the gratifying marks of their
approbation.—(Loud cheers.) He merely regarded him-
self as a fortunate individual, in whose person a well-
merited compliment was .intended to be paid to the
loyalty and devotion of the people of Canada. He saw
a gallant and distinguished officer present who had been
a settler, and who, in the stormy times of insurrection,
had left his farm, and, rendered services to his country
never to be forgotten.—(Cheeta4 ..He (Site Allan Mee-
nab) was glad to have We opportunity of expressing his
deep sense of invaluable services given in an hour of
great emergency, namely, at the breaking out of the in-
surrection.—(Hear.) One of the first to meet him in
that moment of peril was Captain Drew.—(Loud and
long-continued cheers.) He sought him (Sir Allan,
Macnab) out at the very commencement of the out-
break, abaudomed his farm and family, and
marched with the troops from one end of Canada
to the other.—(Cheers.) The people of that country
'looked forward with intense interest for the period when
his gallant friend would, :in this country, be rewarded
for his services.—(LOud cheers.) As honest, brave, and
generous men they never could forget those services.—
(Cheers.) And he (Sir Allan) could assure the meet-
ing that the people of Canada, who felt themselves so
deeply indebted for his exertions, would thank him (Sir
Allan) for having noticed the services of Captain Drew.
—(Cheers.) Canada was a country that required no-
thing but a healthy and industrious population to make
it one of the finest countries in the world.—(Hear.)
Canada was the natural inheritance of the people of
England, Ireland, and Scotland.—(Cheers.) That po•
pulation, which in this country was a source of evil, in
Canada became the means of wealth.— (Hear.) While
glancing at this subject, it was with great pleasure he
found on his arrival in England that there was an asso-
ciation ripening into maturity which had for its object
the affording means of emigration 'into Canada on a
national scale, and for
.promoting colonization on an
organised and efficient principle. His (Sir Allan Mac-
' nab's) services had been asked, and by him freely given,
convinced that by so doing he was furthering the in-
terests of the mother country and advancing those of
the colony, at the same time that a highly remunerative
return would be . insured to those who should promote
such important objects by the investment of their ca-
pital.—(Cheers.) If that emigration was fairly carried
out, the best results would inevitably follow to the people
of both countries.—(Loud cheers.) It would be not
more his duty than his pleasure, in returning to Canada,
'o state'. the estimation in which that country was
held by the people of England. He (Sir Allan
Macnab) could never forget the hospitality and sterling
kindness he had met with during the short stay he had
made in the land of his forefathers ; and he would con-
clude by thanking them most gratefully, and fervently
hoping that the land of his birth might long continue a
source of strength, forming, to the end of all time, a
permanent portion of their glorious empire.—(Loud
and enthusiastic cheering.)
His Graco the CHAIRMAN then rose, and remarked
that the next toast on his list was marked'blank and the
House of Peers.—(Great laughter.) Ile would supply
the blank, by inserting the name of one who was not
only an honour to the Peerage, but to the country which
gave him birth. He (the Chairman) would give " The
Duke of Wellington, the hero of a hundred fights."
His, GRACE then proposed, in very complimentary
terms, " The health of Sir Francis Burdett, and the
House of Commons," for whic:i the lion. Baronet re-
turned thanks.

of the British Crown--and partly to consoli.late the
social interests, the political power, and the moral great-
ness of the races which there constitute the germ of a
future mighty population. The effective carrying out
of these high designs would alike bless our home, and
our transatlantic. fellow-subjects, and he therefore con-
-Healy treated that they would be deemed worthy of the
support of the Noble Duke in the chair, and of the great
landed proprietors in the United Kingdom. In that
expectation, and without further comment, he had the
honour to propose the health of the Duke of Richmond,
and begged at. the same time, on behalf of the Associ
tion, to offer their united thanks for the favour which
he had conferred by presiding on the occasion.—Cheers.)

The toast having been drunk with all the honours,

The Noble Ciztliamax rose and said, he felt deeply
grateful for the manner in which they had received the
toast. He felt, when applied to to fill the chair, that if
there were any advantage in having in that situation one
connected with the British Peerage, that the services his
Gallant Friend Sir Allan Micnab had rendered to the
country demanded at least that from his hands. He
could not forget that his revered parent had been Gover-
nor-General of Canada—(Much cheering)—and had
been received in that country by all classes of the people
with consideration and affection. It had always been a
principle with him that at all cost England must preserve
and maintain her colonies. The men'who emigrate to
the most distant parts of Canada live under the British
Constitution. and it is the duty of the mother country
to defend them: from insult and aggression. Al-
though far removed from the shores of their:native land,
they still recognised and would protect them as British
citizens.—(Cheers.) Canada had won respect at their
hands, and it was the principle, as it was the duty, or
Englishmen to give honour where honour was due.—
(Loud cheers.) He only hoped that whenever circum-
stances should bring them together for a similar purpose,
for which they were assembled that evening, the same
feeling would exist to do honour to his single-minded
and gallant friend, Sir Allan Macnab, who sat at his
right hand.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir ALLAN ATACNAB, in a short and impressive
address, moved the thanks of the meeting to the ex-
Governors-General of Canada who were present, Lord
Aylmer, Sir George Murray; Sir Peregrine Maitland,
and Sir F. B. Head, who severally returned thanks.
His GRACE next proposed from the Chair—" The
Duke of Argyll, and prosperity to the British-American
Association. ' In doing so, he referred especially to the
distress which existed in various districts in the High-
lands of Scotland, and expressed his best wishes in favour
of an institution which would prove beneficial in many
important respects, and he felt confident that an institu-
tion having his Noble Friend at its head could not fail of
being well conducted.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir RICHARD DROUN, in the absence of the Noble
President, returned thanks on behalf of the British-Ame-

ricau Associatioß for the honour done to it by the Noble
Duke in the Chair, and by the numerous influential and
distinguished individuals present who had so cordially
testified their desire for its success. He regretted that the
task.of responding to the toast had not fallen into the

colonization exists but as a name, without any scientific
• or systematic realities. He hoped, however, under the
special and anxious superintendence of the influential
Peers, Baronets, and Gentlemen formin7, the Consulting.
Council of the Association, that these two highly na-
tional objects would henceforth be carried out on en-
lightened principles, with practical utility to the mother
country and the bolony, and high remunerative advan-
tage to those who shall invest capital in its stock.—(Loud
cheers.) He was nevertheless fully aware, that in the
progress of their operations there were both dangers
to be • apprehended and difficulties to be overcome
Still he entertained no fears for the result. Confiding
upon :lie integrity of their proceedings, the purity of
their views, and the utility of their public aims, he felt
assured that the Association would be sustained in its
practical workings by the noble, the good, the loyal, and
patriotic, both of the mother country and the colony.—
(Cheers.) The policy of a Government true to the inte-
rests of the British Crown could not but appreciate and
aid exertions which would immensely tend to consolidate
British influence in Northern America. 'The Colonial
Legislature would facilitate objects which would give a
mighty impulse to their social aggrandisement, and ren-
der their connexion with the parent State secure and in-
dissoluble. The clergy of the United Kingdom, as a
body, would co-operate in measures essential 11'1 only for
parochial relief, but for the continuance of all that most
immediately concerns the moral, spiritual, and physical
welfare of the people committed to their charge. Vast
multitudes in England, Scotland, and Ireland, ready to
perish, would second their efforts, and avail themselves of
the advantages now first brought within their reach ;
whilst throughout their boundless transatlantic domains
a brotherhood, sprung from the loins of the fairest and
bravest European monarchies, were ready to aid us
with outstretched arms. Thus supported, the British-
American Association could not fail to accomplish the
great objects which it has been called into existenc.., to

future years that under its auspices the germ of popula-
tion in British-America would rapidly expand itself
into a mighty and illustrious monarchical nation. With
this hope and belief his colleagues and himself would go
forward hand in hand to extend the foundations of a
growing community—to obliterate th© jarring recollec-
Cons of the past—and to accelerate whatever should
best promote the glory and the power of that bulwark
of religion, liberty, and peace, the British Throne.

from all present.—(Loud cheers.) The Noble and Gal- '

the highest official duties of the province, and who had

1(44-countrymen in British America, whether of Eng-
lish, French, .or Scottish extraction, could not but be
pleased and gratified that a Peer associated with so many
lofty ancestral recollections should have presided on this
occasion. His Grace had served in the field and shed his

toast of the " Army and the Navy" had eloquently' re-
ferred to, and had filled.a high office in the government
of the country, and whether in public or private life, was
held in great and deserved estimation. Had the dinner
been one simply of compliment to
in Sir Allan
.Macnab, as
an expression of the sense entertained of his eminent ser-
vices during the late troubles Canada, even in that case
the honour done by his Grace's filling the chair would
have been warmly felt and appreciated. This dinner was
not, however, to be regarded simply as a mark of respect
to their guest, on his leaving the home-seat of a mighty
nation, to whom he had done good and faithful service,
but as one given on his entering upon
.duties which would
tend to strengthen British connexion. in North America,
and to promote indefinitely the happiness and welfare of
the mother country and the colony. In this point of view,
and considering the general distress, it would be matter
of rejoicing to multitudes in all parts of the United
Kingdom, that his Grace had presided at a meeting from
IA hich a powerful impulse would be given to emigration
and colonization upon more enlightened principles than
any which had heretofore engaged public attention._
(Cheers.) The Noble Duke had just returned from
Bristol, where he had been assisting in the proceedings
at the anniversary festival of the Royal AgTicutural Society
of England; and whilst no one waspore ready and willing
than himself to allow the great public utility and im-
poetanee of that noble institution, nevertheless he conld
not but lament that the soil, and things earthy of every
description, were cultivated and improved rather than
man.—(Hear, hear.) The British-American Association
had been formed partly to extend. the generous dominion
of the plough over the magnificent regions in British
America which had lately been the sphere of those loyal
and patriotic exertions which had won for their guest the
gratitude and respect of every right-hearted liegeman

hands of some one of his colleagues better able than
himself to express their appreciation of so high a
compliment. But having been called upon officially
to discharge the vice. duties of the Chair upon an occa-
sion alike agreeable to his own feelings, and honourable
to their Chief Commissioner for Canada, he begged to as-
sure all present that no efforts would be wanting on the
part of himself and the other executive officers of the in-
: stitution, to realise the ends for which it has been founded.
Adverting to the Association, he wou'd not occupy the
time of the company by entering into any lengthened
exposition of its objects. These, in a single sentence,
were to promote emigration to, and colonization in, our
North American provinces upon a comprehensive and
systematic plan. The formation and designs of the As-
sociation had already been developed at large public
meetings held in Edinburgh and Glasgow, presided over
respectively by.the Chief Magistrates of those cities, and
had been declared by the unanimous voice of those pre-
sent to be entitled to the confidence and support of all
persons in the United Kingdom desirous of advancing.
the moral and social welfare of the labouring classes.=
(Great cheering.) The Presidency of the Association

not less by a long line of illustrious ancestors who had
ever been foremost in every good work which concerned
the religion, the liberty, the weal, the glory of that king-
dom, thnnbv his

not merely be nominal, had been the first to enter hha-
se!t in its list of shareholders.—(Loud cheers.) Its Con-

The Duke of RICHMOND felt extreme pleasure in pro-
posing the health of a gentleman from whose great ex-
ertions and powerful talent the most efficient service had
been rendered both to the colony, and the cause in-
trusted to his advocacy. He should therefore propose
" Dr. Rolph, and success to his mission, the furtherance
of emigration to Canada." The toast was received with
great cheering.
Dr. RoLPII said, that he felt deeply indebted to his
Grace for the very flattering manner in which he had
been pleased to propose his health, and to the company
for the responsive enthusiasm with which it had been
received. Ills first success, and subsequent influence,
he could not forget, had arisen from his attendance at
the great northern meeting at Inverness, in 1839, at
which his Grace had presided with his usual effect.—
(Cheers.) It was, indeed, a most gratifying circum-
stance to him, that his Noble Friend, Sir Allan Macnab,
whom. for years past, he had earnestly urged to visit
Great Britain, had been received with so mile!' respect
on his arrival, and with such warm demonstrations of
regard on his departure. On his (Dr. R.'s) return to
Canada on each successive occasion, during the last
three years, he had earnestly endeavoured to convince
the warm-hearted inhabitants of that splendid colony,
that the great built of the people of the United Kingdom
felt the deepest interest in their welfare mid prosperity.
It was true, and much to be deplored, that at the period
when, under misguided impulses, an attempt was .mad..
to bring about..a sepayalisetareni areat-Britain;th ere
were-nu, wrwiittlrfurlividuals in this country to justify
that insane and treasonable effort, who even wished the
British soldiery defeated, and anticipated, with delight,
the dismemberment of the empire. Happily they were
but few in number, insignificant in character, and con-
temptible in influence. The great body of the British
people felt, that if England lost her colonies, or was
prepared to abandon them, she would be, what she
would then certainly deserve to be, but a colony herself.
—(Enthusiastic cheers.) Better prospects, however,
had since dawned on Canada ; she had come out of a
severe and trying ordeal, not only unscathed, but
triumphant. So cheering, indeed, had her altered pros-
pects become, that not only did those of her fellow-
countrymen who now left the shores of Great Britain
for the American continent give Canada the preference,
but those who had taken up Weir abode in the United
States were returning, by thousands, to the peaceful
sway of their beloved Monarch, again to live under the
protecting influence of the British flag.—(Loud cheers.)
During the present year it had come to his personal
knowledge that larger numbers of wealthy settlers, and
a greater amount of British capital had proceeded to
Canada, than during any year since the standard of Old
England had been planted on the heights of Abraham
by the gallant and immortal Wolfe. The present com-
pliment, so justly due, and so handsomely conferred on
their guest, Sir Allan Macnab, would prove most grate-
ful and agreeable to the inhabitants of Canada generally.
They would view it, as indeed it should be viewed, as a
marked compliment paid to themselves, They would
consider it as a guarantee that the defence of Canada
was highly acceptable to the British people, and an
earnest that they generally desired to see it an incor-
porated integral portion of the British empire.—(Loud
cheers.) Another excellent result would follow from this
gratifying scene. A just discrimination would henceforth
be made between that portion of the American conti-
nent, under the British sway, which had always honour-
ably maintained its faith, performed all its obligations,
preserved its credit, established its probity, and sustained
its character, from those portions of the same continent
where the dishonest doctrines of repudiation had been
boldly proclaimed.—(Cheers.) Every loan hitherto
raised in Great Britain, for whatever part of America,
had been confounded under the common name of Ame-
rican security ; and Canada has not only just cause of
complaint for this mistake, but had suffered most severely,
from the delinquencies of others, and from a supposed
participation in the principles of repudiation, which she
utterly denounces and abhors.—(Clieers.) It was, there-
fore, fervently to be hoped, that as the current of emi-
gration had been fully restored to Canada, the free in-
vestment of British capital would as certainly follow.
Indeed, from the increasing correspondence which he
was then carrying on with all parts of the United
Kingdom, he felt fully convinfTd that that desirable
adjunct and auxiliary to the rapid advancement of
Canada would be no longer wanting. The excellent
Governor of Now Brutimick, in one of his able de-
spatches, said, in reference to that valuable colony, "
cannot but hope, also, that English capital, the applica-
tion of which in public works in the United States has
hitherto afforded so much employment to emigrants, will
henceforth be directed to these provinces, and that, by
the settlement of the wilderness, they may be secured as
British possessions." That such were also the hopes
and anticipations of the Canadians themselves, the com-
ment of one of the ablest writers and upright politicians
in that.province, on the former dinner given to Sir A. '
Macnab, would demonstrate. "An interchange of such
friendly visits to and from the mother country must be
attended with the most beneficial consequences to all
parties. They would greatly tend to elucidate the views
of British subjects on both sides of the Atlantic ;
to explain their principles of action on certain
points of colonial policy, to penetra:e alike into
the immediate and more remote interests in bonds
of closer and more enduring intimacy. Above
all, they would serve to convince capitalists and other
men of property in the mother country that there now
happily exists a field for the investment of capital in this
country, which, for security and ordinary profit, is not
surpassed elsewhere. Our laws are enforced with in-
tegrity ; our banks and public institutions are sound in
foundation, and active, prudent, and successful in their
operations ; our commercial enterprise is great, but not
less great than just and honourable ; the navigation of
our lakes and rivers is increasing daily in import-
ance and profit, the terms in this point of view at
least being nearly synonymous ; our public works, such
as canals, roads, and harbours, are, some of them, in full
operation, if we may so express it, while others are in
rapid progress towards completion—thus affording ample
remuneration to industrious labour, as well as to the in-
vestment of capital, not only under the guarantee of the
provincial, but the imperial Governments ; and, to sum
up our short, but important catalogue, our soil and
timber arc nearly as inexhaustible as ever, affording to
both the farmer and merchant of capital a never-ending,
and, we hope, never-failing source of prosperity and
profit. Now, let us be permitted to inquire whether
these, one and all of them, are not subjects worthy of
serious consideration among persons of capital, pro-
perty, and enterprise in the mother country ? They are
assuredly; and it is with satisfaction we perceive that a
better and more congenial spirit seems to pervade. those
classes, undoubtedly in consequence of a more intimate
acquaintance with the resources of these provinces, which.
they derive from a personal intercourse with colonists of
information sojourning occasionally amongst them, and
imbuing their minds with more liberal sentiments re-
specting the capabilities and resources of the colonists
themselves. These arc the beneficial results of the grat.l-.
fying reception which has been more recently given in
the mother country to such men as Sir Allan Macnab,
who have been accustomed from early life to identify
the interests of colonial parent and , offspring, and
who can have no motive in deceiving, because, if there
existed reasons for so doing, to deceive one party, would

unimpeachable in honour, who joined it as a means,
created by national need, to promote the loftiest aims of
benevolence, patriotism, and social virtue.—(Loud
cheers.) Such being the case, what occasion had he to
dwell farther upon its merits? lie could not, however,
sit down without adverting to the necessity out of which
arose the British-American Association for Emigration
and Colonization—viz. the alarming distress which pre-
vailed in the country. That distress was alarming not
only on account cf its exigency and extent, but also from
the fact that it had gradually been accumulating from the
period of the Peace. For twenty-seven years the nation
had enjoyed freedom from hostile aggression, fruitful
seasons, unremitting industry ; and notwithstanding all
the appliances of science and of art to make a contented
and prosperous people, Great Britain was yearly de-
clining from her ancient landmarks, until pauperism
threatened to engulph the whole industrial and middle
classes of society. What then was to be done? Was
want to be allowed to achieve within their walls that
which Europe, armed and at their gates, wduld be unable
to accomplish? A variety of expedients had been al-
ready tried, and others were contemplated. Parliament
had been reformed, national. expenditure lessened, the

tithes commuted, the Poor-laws amended, and now the
Corn-laws had been modified, an Income-tax passed, and
a new Tariff adjusted. Still he felt satisfied that all
these measures would be found as drops in the bucket.
At the close of the war, • the country had been let down
from high prices, high wages, high profits, into a state
of money atrophy; and" the distress produced by that
circumstance had been perpetuated and increased by the
aggregation of wealth in the hands of individuals—by
machinery' displacing manual labour—by a departure
from the ancient protective principle—by an unjust exer-
cise of the competitive system—and by an utter inat-
tion to the laws which are essential to the due
adjustment of production and consumption. The evils
which have resulted from a long combined course
of vicious social policy were too widely ramified and
deeply seated to be remedied, except by making the new
world the field of a mighty national operation for the
effectual and permanent amelioration of the old.—(Loud
cheers.) Was this impossible ? It was `calculated that
there were in the United Kingdom at least four million
able-bodied persons willing to work, but without employ-
ment. There were millions of capital seeking an honest,
just, and safe investment ; and there were millions of
acres of land in British America, rich in the various
necessaries of life, requiring cultivation. Here, then,
were all the essentials for at once forming a great, a
wealthy, and a prosperous community.—(llear, hear, and
cheers.) Canning, from his place in Parliament, had
boasted that he looked to the west, and called into ex-
istence a few distant, abortive. and alien states. But he
(Sir B. B.) hoped that the time had arrived when the
wise and the good of the United Kingdom, whether in
Parliament or out of Parliament, would concentrate their
attention upon British North America, and make her
instrumental to ends which concerned the welfare of the
State, the safety of the Crown, and the ascendency of
the monarchy.—(Cheers.) The Secretary of State for
the Home Department, in one of his pamphlets, has
remarked " Whenever this country presents the
spectacle of millions supplicating for bread, then will the
people sweep away titles, pensions, and honours." That
spectacle was now daily presenting itself, and premoni-
tory symptoms of a completion of the prophecy every-
where appeared. Still he considered that we were not
necessarily a doomed people. A few years antecedent
to the development of those evils which afterwards pro-
duced the great civil wars, the pacific Monarch who first
extended the sceptre of the House of Stuart over those
majestic realms, which now constitute the British
empire, erected a new order of hereditary nobility to
effect ends similar to those which the British-American
Association proposes to accomplish. Had the paternal
views of King James the First for the honour
and credit, the opulence, prosperity, and peace of
his subjects been realised, the reign of his son
would not have closed in his bloodshed, and succeeding
generations have gone down broken-hearted to the tomb
amidst social desolation, anarchy, and strife.—(Hear,
hear.) Let us, then, be warned in time, and learn
wisdom froni the historic lessons of the past. After a
multiplicity of changes and experiments, we are driven
back to the conclusion, that destitution must be remedied
' by other means than by legislative provision, or private
benevolence. Since the passing of the Poor-law Amend-
ment Act, the number of actual paupers in England and
Wales have enormously increased—and within these
bounds the position laid down by Lord Brougham has
been verified to the letter, viz., that "every permanent
fund set apart for the support of the poor from whomso-
ever proceeding, and by whomsoever administered, must
needs multiply the evils it is intended to remedy."—
(Hear, hear.) Well, then, let us abandon the Egyptian
policy of requiring our industrial orders to make bricks
without giving them straw. Let us adopt and accelerate
the wiser, juster, and nobler policy, which would put
corn and money into every labourer's sack. What wo
desiderate is, the extirpation of pauperism—not its
maintenance, Having redeemed Slavery, is it impossible
by such combinations of labour, land, and capital, as will
be involved in the operations of the British-American
Association to emancipate the country from that bondage
to want, hunger, nakedness, cold, physical deprivations,
and moral anguish, which now lays a burden upon
millions of our fellow-subjects which God and nature
never intended them to bear? Hitherto the plantation
of our North American dependencies has never engaged
the due attention of a nation of which they form part
and parcel as integral portions. Emigration has been
left to take its own u naded and unguided course—wh ils

e the utter ruin of the other." The special object of,
s (Dr. R.'s) mission to England was the promotion of
migration to the magnificent province of Canada. It
was certainly a source of unbounded gratification to
know that he had secured the
.support and co-operation
of so large a portion of the British nobility and people
to aid in this great undertaking. It had always ap-
peared to him, and it had been greatly deplored in Ca-
nada, that hitherto emigration had been voluntary and
unaided emigration; and that no scheme of colonization
had ever been attempted. A combination compre-
hending the extensive landowners in Canada—those
deeply interested in the removal of the surplus popu-
lation from their densely-peopled estates in this
kingdom—with ,the aid of a portion of the unem-
ployed capital of the mercantile and commercial classes,
will supply a very great and most important desideratum.
In the hope that such a combination can be advan-
tageously effected, it had afforded him much pleasure
to find that a powerful Association had been formed on
these principles, and contemplating these objects; and
trusting that their well-directed exertions may prove
serviceable to the mother country and the colony, he
looked with intense anxiety to its success.—(Loud
cheers.) The Noble Lord the Secretary of the Colonies,
in one of his usual lucid and powerful despatches to the
Governor of New Brunswick—one equally applicable to
Canada as New Brunswick, has thus happily expressed
himself:—" Fully agreeing with you, that the establish-
ment of a class of landowners possessed of capital,
applicable to the cultivation of the land, and to the em-
ployment of labour, would conduce to the rapid growth,
and to the solid prosperity of the colony, I yet think,
that the object is one not likely to be effected by the
direct interference of her Majesty's Government. All
which it appears to me that the Government can do
towards promoting the colonization of New Brunswick,
is by placing a moderate price upon the public lands,
and rendering their acquisition easy, by circulating also
correct information concerning the colony, so that
parties may judge of the means which it affords for the
profitable employment of capital, and as regards the
lower orders, by regulating their conveyance to the
colony without the undue enhancement of itscost. The
rast must be left to the inducements which the
natural resources and advantages of the colony
may present ; in short, to the operation of private inte-
rest. On these just and natural principles, it did appear
to him (Dr. R.) that an extensive scheme of coloniza-
tion could be effectively and most profitably carried out.
—(Cheers.) In conclusion, 1.3 r. H. said, it was most de-
lightful to see such an array of rank, such a com-
bination of wealth and honour, met together to compli-
ment a distinguished colonist, and to prove to the world
that the memorable monition of their late patriot sailor
king had sunk deep into the hearts of his subjects, that
" Canada should not be lost or given away;" but that,
under auspices like the present, and exertions of such
magnitude, the ancient prophecy may be realised—
" Westward the tide of Empire holds its sway,
The first four acts already passed,
The fifth shall close the drama and the day ;
Time's noblest offspring is his last."
The DOctor sat down amidst loud and long cheers.
Mr.HecnEs IfuGriEs proposed " The Health of Mr.
Attorney-General Ogden, and the Canadian Bar."
Mr. ROBERTSON, of Inches, returned thanks.
Several toasts followed, and a vote of thanks having
been carried by acclamation to the Noble Chairman for
the able manner in which he had discharged the duties
of his office, the company separated at a late hour.
