The United Parliament commenced its session at
Kingston on Thursday, the 7th instant. In an extra
from the office of the Kingston Chronicle, we have re-
ceived a copy of Sir Charles Bagoes speech to the two
Houses. _ _

It commences with an allusion to the death of Lord

Sydenham ; then refers briefly to the birth of a Prince
in England, and to the attempt upon the life.of the
Queen,-and then proceeds as follows :
" I rejoice that I am able to acquaint you that a
treaty betwepn Great Britain and the United States
has been signed on the part of her Majesty,.and since
ratified by the' Federal Senate, by which the im-
portant questions affecting
_this province and the
United States have been adjusted. From this happy
settlement, the ratification of which by her Majesty .I
hope soon to be able to announce to you, I augur, the
most favourable consequences to the province in the
maintenance of. peace, the, restoration of confidence,
and the devotion of the undivided energies of its inha-
bitants to the internal advancement and the develop.
ment of the vast resources of the country.
" These have been among her Majesty's chief objects
in the negotiation of this treaty ; .and I am commanded
by the Queen to state to you that no wish is nearer
to her Majesty's heart than that, under her rule and
protection of her Crown, all her faithful subjects in
Canada may rest in undisturbed .peace; may feel
themselves to be one people with their fellow subjects
in the British islands, and may increase in wealth,
prosperity, and contentment, founded on the possession
and rational enjoyment of a free and essentially Bri-
tish Constitution.

" Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, -
" I have the unfeigned satisfaction of informing you
that her Majesty's Government have redeemed in the
fullest manner the munificent promises made by their
predecessors to guarantee the loan contemplated by
this province; and I shall lay before you without delay
the Act of the Imperial Parliament which gives effect
to their intention.

" I have been in correspondence with her Majesty's
Government upon the mode in which the assistance
thug given can be made most available to the province,
and I shall have occasion to make an important com-
munication to you upbn this subject. In the mean•
time I have adopted every means at my command to
obviate the inconveniences of delay, and to advance
the public works ; and I hope before the expiration of
the present season to be able to extend them consider,
ably. I have directed that full information as to the
operations of the past year shall be laid before you.
"It has been found impracticable to carry into ef-
fect in England the arrangement proposed- last year
for the assistance of deserving emigrants. In redemp-
tion, however, of the pledge made upon this subject,
her Majesty's Government have obtained from Par-
liament a grant of money in aid of destitute emigrants
upon their arrival in this country.
"It will meanwhile be satisfactory to you to know,
that although the number of emigrants who have
arrived directly from the mother country or through
the neighbouring States, during the present season,
has been much larger than during the corresponding
period of last year, no serious destitution has pre-
vailed among them, which would render it necessary
for me to apply to you to devise means for their relief;
and I have every reason to hope that there are the
best prospects of their ultimate success and prosperity.
" The condition of the public revenue is highly
satisfactory. The patriotic measures adopted by the
Legislature during the last session, to provide by
means of increased taxes upon imports for restoring
the credit of the _province, and meeting the charge
about to be created for the completion and extension
of the public works, have been eminently successful.
"The "The tariff of the Imperial Parliament for „the Bri-
tish possessions in North America, framed as it is in
a most generous spirit as regards this proyinee, will
promote essentially its financial and commercial inte-
rests. The provisions of the Imperial Act will pro-
bably call for corresponding alterations in the provin-.
cial scale of duties ; and I shall at an early period
require your advice and assistance in making the
revenue laws of this province consistent in themselves,
and harmonious .with the enactments of the Imperial
Parliament.
"Her Majesty's Government have evinced a most
liberal. dispositio.n in the consideration of the duties
on agricultural produce, in connexion with the trade
of Canada ; and I am led to hope that an arrangement
may be made to extend the market fur Canadian pro-
duce, in a manner alike advantageous to this province
and the mother country.
The speech then touches upon varous top:es of local.
interest—the establishment of district councils, edu-
cation and the reorganisation of the militia ; and.con-

. . .
eludes with a-well-expressed appeal in favour of mo-
deration and harmony, as essential to, the benefit *
