EMIGRATION FROM CANADA.-The fol-
lowing article from the Hamilton u. CO.
Express, shows melancholy picture of
affairs in the interior of that Province. II
undoubtedly describes truly the effects
resulting from the mischievous doings of
Mackenzie, and his meddlesome associates.
The people of that conntry-especially the
"reformers," have suffered dearly enough,
by his disorganzing schemes.
Emigration from this Province to the
u. States still continues, notwithstanding
the immense numbers who have already
left; but it has changed its character, and
now instead Of being composed of men of
strong political feelings, embraces the more
cautious and industrious classes-old coun>
trymen as we'll as natives. Militory clan.
gor keeps one portion Of the people from
broodng ovev The general depression
while morbid melancholy seems to have
seized others, who are apathetic as to the
consequences of passing events, and look
upon emigration as panacea for all thelr
ills.
TO snch an extent has emigration been
carried on, that in some parts of the Lon.
don District, we have credlbly been in
formed, that there are not males enough
lett to gather in 1.-THE of the crops
Some farmers have sacrificed their home-
sleads for trihe, whilst others have actu'
ally abandoned them.
But this is not all. The spirit of change
is extending hike an epidemic, and severn
parties from different parts of the province
are now raversng the western states
looking for locations to provide for ar
extensive emigration. Something SHOULD
be done to stop this general depopuation o
the country and give hope TO the people
what that ought to be we leave to the wis
dom of Lord Durham, merely observing
that from very wide enquiry, we are lie.

painful anxiety to this Government. Every

the success of the design apparently formed,

Such design cannot succeed while the

Ira HILL, a native Of Colchester, we
believe, and a graduate of the University
Of Vermont, died at Hagarstown, Md. on
the 5th inst. We find the following notice
of the deceased in the Torch. Light.
The deceased graduated at one Of the
Eastern Colleges, and was, believe, pro.
lessor 10 one Of the Colleges in Baltimore
some wears since. He was the author Of
two popular works; the first entitled
"Antiquities Of America explained;" the
second, "Theory of the Earth" both writ

TIE CHERoKEEs.-By the last news
from the South we are advised of the entire
removal of the Cherokees within the limits
Of Georgia. They have been collected
at the depots by the army, many of them
surrenderng voluntarily, and all submitting
without resistance. Thus has the rem,val
so far as Georgia is concerned, been con.
Quoted without boodshed. This result is
mainly attributable to the policy and firm

Tn the House of commons on the 18th OF
MAY, some conversation took place res.
pecting the state ofthings in the Canadas-
Mr. Hume begged to ask the noble Lord.
what was understood by her Majesty's
Government 10 be the actual condition Of
Upper Canada. He wished to know
whether civil or military law was at pres.
ent in force in that province. He perceiv-
ed from the newspapers that the civil courts
we're at present sitting, and thot at the
same time military law was IN operation
The civil court were very active IN trying
persons accused Of high treason. Hear.
In such state Of affairs he was compelled,
although with great reluctance aud regret
to ask for q copy Of the instructions to Sir
George Arthur. Since tho arrival Of that
officer in the province, two executions had
taken place upon the 10Th Of March--six
were ordered for the Goth, and other four
for the eth. The inhabitants were sur
prsed and Mortified at witnessing such an
exhibition, and even the Executive Coun'
Gil had endeavored to stay the hand of the
executiouer in vain. The object of his
mir. Hume's] inquiry was TO ascertain
what was the actual condition of the un-
fortunate province in respect 10 the admin
istration of the laws--whether it was under
civil or military government. Hear

Lord ]. Russell said, with regard TO the
State of Upper and Lower Canada, he
could only state that several laws had been
passed by the Legislature in Upper Canada
prescribing a certain mode of trial, accor-
ding to which persons charged with trea
son we're to be tried. The Government
at home had not yet received copies o
these acts. He was informed that two
persons to whom the honorable member'
alluded had been tried before the ordinar.
tribunals, but no intimation had reached
him that the executions had taken place
With regard to the instructions sent out Il
the Governor of Upper Canada, he had nj
objection to produce them 10 the House
Hear, hear.
Mr.. Hume had moved for copies Of those
laws, as he understood the persons in ques
ton had been tried by erpost facto law.
Sir G. Grey said the laws to which tn
, honorable member alluded had not yet bee
received at the Colonial Office.
, Mr.. Hume The noble Lord has nc
vet stated whether Lower Canada is unde
civil or military law.
Lord John Russell-A portion of Lowe
Canada had been placed under martial la'
BY Lord Gosford; that order had been re
newed by Sir John Colborne, but he ha
no doubt it had since been repealed.
