being bound to the other as long as each perfnrmed
its relative duty towards the other. For these sea.
sons he should. take the sense on the general questior
though he should move that the Bill should be
vided into two Bills.

Mr. ELLICE considered the period of the Sessi,
some objection to the Bill ; but this was not to ta,
from any person in these colonies the benefits securer
by the Slst of the late King; but the present Bill w;
only intended to secure and extend to the general
Habitants of these PrOvinces, the privileges tiow e,
fined to a few/ The fact was, that about forty.f„
of the fifty Members of the Legislation of L,m.
Canada were taken from, and returned by the l't
population; so that there was a complete Fre.
party against the interests of the inhabitants ,f
Upper Colony. How then, but by this Bill, c 0,,;
conflicting interests of the two C iloiiies be :ect
cited? He contended that this a east, e had b(
proposed with the full concurrence of every (.„,
weight connected with these Col .nits, and
would now irritate more than even the passin;
measure which might be in some de 2ree nbjtxt,
able. He wished the House to give every t
the trade of these Colonies that it wo 11,1 giv2 to
productions of Scotland and Ireland.
Mr. CALCRAFT wished the House to pau.e
fore it would legislate on so rash a •u•ji-cr as til.l
depriving one of our Colonies of
representative assembly. Would they apt iv so IT
a measure to any of our Colonies without ,t;
Let them have the different parties i
ti
bat, and then let them see what n ere the 01,, „„,,
each. There was everything loyal in these C.,1.„1
and nothing to warrant so harsh and oppressi,t
measure as this. Why had the whole Ses,iott
wasted without consulting those Provinces he!
they set to work to deprive them of their ,r, at au
gislatut es? but it was in vain to talk to such a 110,
for to an eye accustomed to look at the
might now have forty Members present to lc i
for both the Canadas. As this was a matte. of
and selions import, he conjured the House to wai
further information.

Mr. BRIGHT said it was clear, from the A
the slst of the late King, that the Parliament
the King had a right to interfere, and to settle ail
mites between the two Colonic. But this
well-discussed or contemplated measme. .fli,.
no right to lei eal that Act, ii.ade c.i.
r.:•iice of the people of Canada, and agiceable
situation. But the fact Ica-, that this Bill •Va• L
I,assed without the knowledge of the 1 eolr,c ot.
Canada ; for, if it was known to them that such
was in contemplation, they would put it 0.1•

power ever to pass it. They were a brave le
and would resist it: aid. if they di he should
they were right. This was an Upper • a
intenJel to give the majority in the llon.e of
oly to the Representatives of the Utpet
those of the Lo. er. P this Bill went on, he do'
he should tin,' it his duty to move an

Colony which was in dispute, hut in it were in%
the rights of all our other Colonies. If Ow'.

why not take away that of Jamaica ? In the t
sion of light and knowledge, the tune wo•i!it
when these provinces would act for themse yes
until then, it was their duty to pri..ett the tigi,
both, instead of taking them away vvii:out int.;
and at such a period of t::e Session, by pa
wild and extravas2.ant Bill.
Mr. GOULBORN wutild orposs. this BW,
thought it fraught with the dan,ers and chalk,
that had been anticipated. But he de.lied CiaL

As the pie.eat Constitution of Canad:t rested oi
Act of that House, it was competent to the Bi
Parliament to alter or modify it as it thought pn
This became necessai v, when one of these Legia
Assemblies had interfered with the interests tit
other colony in a way, he thought, calculated to
duce something more than irritation.
Mr. DENMAN opposed the Bill; first, on arc'
of the advanced period of the Session, and th,
norance of the House on the subject; and secoi
he opposed it on the ground that no notice had
given to the inhabitants of the colony ; and this
he opposed the measure, as inexpedient and imin
to be adopted.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY defended
Bill. The pressure of business had prevented tihf
being brought forward at an earlier period ; bu
lateness of the Session was no reason for rejecting
Bill, if it should appear to be necessary and expedi

Mr. BERNAL oppo'ed the BilL The mere asserth
Ministers that the measure was necessary, should not gado
House. It ought to rest upon the petitions front the peopl
Canada.

➢lr. T. W I LSON also opposed the measure, principally
count of the late period of the Session at which it was bi
forward.—The gallery was then cleared for a division.
