COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, UPPER CANADA,
TIMIDAY JANUART 10.

" Mon sagacious Sonagrox—We,your Majesty's loyal and dutiful
subjects, the Commons of Upper Canada, in provincial Parliament
assembled, beg litre item humbly to approach your Majesty upon
a subject of the deepest interest, connected with the adminiuration
of public justice. We would humbly rrpreaent, th a the Executive
Council is appointed by your Maiesty, to advise his Excellency upon
the affairs of this province, and that the connexion of Chief Justice
with it, wherein he has to advise his Eecelleney upon executive
measures, many of which may bear an intimate relation to the judi-
cial duties he may have thereupon to discharge, is highly inexpeita,
tending to embarrass him in his judicial functions, and render ae
administration of justice less satisfactory, if not less pure. Your
Majesty's faithful Commons tanker humbly represent their deep
sense of the expediency of rendering the Judges in this province
as of the Crown and of the people as are the Judos
et
as e therefore humbly beg, most gracious Sovereign, that you
'we he pleased to discontinue to impose upon the Chief Justice a
dully eolecompatible with his judicial character, and so ill suited to
the rem state of this provinces awl that the Judges, with the
approbation of your Majesty, may be rendered as independent of
the CreWll mad of the people as are the Judges of England.
"JOHN WILSON, Speaker.
" OMIIIIIII. House of Assembly, 14th January, 1824."

FROM THZ TRINIDAD GUARDIAN,

PORT OF SPAIN, JAL tai.
We doubt whether it has fallen to, the lot of any
Journalist, since the establishment of Colonies in this
hemisphere, to communicate intelligence more interest-
ing, and involving more important results to every
class, than we have this day the satisfaction to present
to the public in the shape of an order of Government,
abolishing all fees hitherto paid by the shippirig in this
port to the following officers :—the Governor's Secre•
tary, the Island Secretary, the Naval Officer, the Har-
bour Master, the Captain of the Sea Fort, the Health
Officer, the Inspector of Manifests. Shipping is now
relieved from all fees in this port; and this order of
Government, in conjunction with the Act of 6 Geo. IV.
cap.lo6, redeems in our Colony Mr. Huskision's liberal
promise to that effect at the opening of the last Session
of Parliament.

We feel assured that the other Colonial Legislatures,
upon whose decision this arrangement depends, will lose
no time in deciding upon its adoption ; and show by their
alacrity in following in this instance at least the example
of Trinidad, that their backwardness on other occca-

sions is not to be attributed to any want of good feeling,
bist only to an honest conviction that measures hitherto
recommended would never be practically beneficial.
If we are requested to specify all the particular ad-
vantages to be derived from this measure, we beg in
reply to ask—Where is the mind that can conceive, or
the pen that can detail, All the advantages to be derived
by an individual, whose hands are suddenly set at liberty
after being long manacled and confined ?—tThere must
be advantage in every and the slightest movement.
We have always been of opinion that to the colonies
at least, the abolition of the fees upon shipping was the
'most important part of that improved system which is
now to be carried into operation throughout the empire.
Other parte. of it depend in a great degree upon the
concurrence of foreign Powers.—this depends upon our-
selves iline; and were our trade in future to be restricted
'colnmartication between British Ports and

sore al in inestinsibte-idvantage. To the lower classes
its belefits will be incalculable; the necessaries of life
will no logo. rem in a glut, lockeJ up and rotting in
one colony, whilst toMparative famine exists in another
in its immediate vicinity : the abundance of the one
will noar without difficulty flow into and relieve the
wants of the other; and the negro slave may say with
heartfelt gratitude, that he has at last been practically
benetltted-by an act of the British Government.

The great house of LitNNZT, GUILLOT, and Co. at
Lisbon, has resumed their payments.
The St. Vincent's Gazette of the 4th of February,
'states, that a dreadful fire broke out at Barbadoes on
the 25th of January. by which fifteen houses in the main
street. and about 15Q smaller ones were totally destroyed.
Several lives were lost, and a great number of persons
entirely' ruined.
By the tables of M. gasist., of Weimar, it appears
that the population of, the empire of Russia, at the
death of Catrnzates 11. in 1796, amounted to about
33,000,000: abtd in 1825, at the death of .4 LILIANDint,
in conaequence of conquests from the Turks, and re-
captures and conquests of dominions in Poland, the;
amount was 50,000.000. In, the course of three cert.
tuties end a half the paler, in point of poptantion,,of
the Bissian:i ..empire, has multiplied itself mere thane
eight times; while, ;n *extent of ferritorj, it has been
increased neatly twenty times.

2. Resolved—That the corlpexion of the Chief Justice of this
province with the Executive Council, wherein he has to advise his
Excellency upon executive measures, many of which may bear an
intimate relation to the judicial duties he may have thereupon to
discharge, is highly inexpedient, tending to embarrass him in his
judicial functions, and render tit:administration of justice less sails-

Mr. J. Jolts, seconded by Mr. Moan's, moved an amendment
to the foregoing resolution, that after the word " Address" the re;
mainder of the resolution be expunged, and these words inserted,
