Nr. HUME thought this Vote deserving the notice of the
Committee. The increase of this branch of expenditure was truly

Mr. W. HORTON said, the increase of couvicts was very large
of late years; the grant for their support had not Increased in pro-
portion. From the prosperous state of the Celeaks, however, that
sum in a short time would be decreased.
On the Resolution granting .C 20,400 for the purposes of Emi-
gration,
Mr. HU3II? repeated the observations which be bad frequently
nude on the subject of (Migration. He thought the present a good
eoportunlty to call the attention of the Government to the proposi-
tions which he made In the earlier part of the Session.
me. W. HORTON was surprised at the How Gentleman, for
be always conddetud him as one of the strongest opposers to emi-
gration to Upper Canada. He called upon the Hots. Gentleman to
peruse the Report of the Committee, as to the practicability of
riming emigration into effect. •
The vote was sub.equenly agreed to. Also, .C 50,000, to In-
demnify the American Slave Proprietors.
Mt. CANNING said, this sum was fixed upon by the arbitrators
beano the English stipulator and the American proprietors. He
hail mentioned the subject in the early part of the Session, and it
taro seemed to meet the concurrence of the House. The proprietors
originally shed two millions of dollars compensation.
Mr. HUME thought the compromise obtained at too high a
price.—The following Resolutions were agreed to :
£3.040 for Civil Establishment.

10,640 ditto Noes Scotia.
Mr. HUM wfled to tale the sense of the House upon this
trinclihe considered exorbitant.

hr. W. HORTON thought the Committee could not take cog-
names of this ease. The House would he enabled next year to
fu more into detail, and then he had no doubt the country would

Mt. BERRIES moved, that 26,0001. be granted for the new
Military Canalin Canada.
Mr. HU NIB opposed the grant, without an etplanation of its
diem. The country had already largely subscribed for canals in
tie Weßond and Niagara districts.
Mr. W I LMOT-HORTON assured the Honourable Member
the present vote was not for the Welland nor Niagara Canal, but

ritime point of view), Colony, or keep up the proposed line of
military defence, and consequently the present water eommenica-

Mr. C. PELHAM did not see the necessity of the proposed line

Mr. HUME was not for throwing up the possession of the
Canada; but for infusing a spirit of ecouumiring the resources of
the Mother Country, and obtaining full information.
11r. W. HORTON relied; that a Commissioner under the con-
ned of the Duke of Wellinglan had agreed to these plans, which,
wattover, could only be properly understood by military men.
