LATE FROM ENGLAND.
Mr. O'ConneU and the Charlottesville. O'Con-
nell has published an address to the Chartists of
Birmingham, demonstrating with them on &C
count of the error into which they have fall
en-, aud suggesting, that, as the period seems to
have come when the rational and sober part of
the operatives ought 10 sepcrateifrom the men
of violence aud blood, a new association should
be formed, and fresh council nominated, and
that this association should come forward as the
friends OF peace, law, and order, and as the har-
bingers of peace, of union, and success. He
proposes as the basis of the association:-lst.
Household Suffrage. including in it all heads OF
families, whether occupers Of entire houses OIL
only lodgersl; all jouneymen of trades; and all
teachers of literature or science. I'd. The Bal
lot Sd. Trennial Parliament. 18th. The alb
clifton of the Property Qualifcation-5th. e
lectoral Districts, or as nearly as possible equa
proportions. With respect TO the name OF the
association he is Indifferent They may call il
"Union Society or Club, or by the more length
ened name of Precursor OF Reform Associa

HOUSE OF LORDS-MoNDAY, May 81.
CANApA-Lord Brougham said that con.
siderable time had elapsed without any steps hav
ing been taken on the subject of the affairs o
Canada, Notwithstanding the mention which
had been made of the subject in the Queen {
Speech, and the subsequent reference TO it IL
u message from her majesty. He thought he
was, therefore, ,entitled to inquire of hei
Majesty's Government when they might ex
pect 10 have a measure on this subject before
them.
Viscount Melbourne said that it was certain y
the intention of her Majesty's Government to in
troduce measure on this subject with the least
possible delay.
CHARGE OF MURDER BY COLONEL PRINCE
Lord Broughnm wished to ask the Noble Mar
| a, hon, &C tln InlI on
whether any sters had been taken for the pur-
pose of removing from the Militia of Canada
an individual of the name of Prince, who i
there was any truth in the reports published on
the subject, had disgraced the name of a British
officer and the rank of Colonel, by ordering tt
| be shot in cold blood four miserable persons wht
had been taken prisoners by the Indians, but re-
served for the tender Mercies of an Enghsl
Colonel, who drew them out one by lone iron
| their places of confinement, and ordered then
to he shot. The account he found was but too
| true, as Colonel Arthur mentioned by way o
mitigation of Col. Princess conduct, that he wa
ut the time in state of excitement. There wa
but one state of excitement which could Justit.
such an act of barbarity, and that was what woul(
enlitle ajurysto bring in party accused OF mu
der not guilty, on account of his heing OF non
sane mind and memory. He (Lord Brougham
wished to know whether Colonel Prince still
held a commission in her MaJesty's service?
The Marquis of Normandy said it was per
fecty true that something Of the nature com
planned Of by the Noble and Learned Lord hat
taken place. Col. Arthur had directed the s,i
perintcndance of Col. Aver, and the report sta
led that the evidence produced before the Com
missioners had negatived great deal of the cru
city attributed to Col Princes conduct. The re
suit was, that the Government was recommend
ed under all the circumstances, to take no fuf
Their proceedings on the subject. In reply I
this communication, however, her Majesty
~ had IN nj
strong disapprobation Of Col. Princes conduc
Lord Brougham thought there could be no Oh
jection to produce the evidence of the investl
CATION alluded to by the Noble Marquis. IL
f had read the sentence, and that was any thin
but satisfac tory. Their Lordships were all nc
quainted with the case of Gov. WALL who Ina
, been found guilty of murder, and hanged, fo
flogging man to death without Court MARTA
and he (Lord Brougham,) as a lawyer, had n
hesitation in saying that Col Prince had bee
guilty in this instance of murder.
Great Gang of Coiners arrested. Some fe
days since the marshals of New York succeed
