(tear, hear.) He did not think this was {
+ happy moment for Her Maiosty's Ministers by
their fiscal measures to ALLEVIATE our Canadian
= friends, when a storm was gathering against
US. Yes, there was cloud in the west anc
that black cloud would grow blacker still, anC
perhaps break over us, if such measures as
those were offered to our Canadian Colonists
lie, for one, was as anxious as any one that
) peace should be maintained with honor. He
thought this country could very we'll afford to
repose on her laurels, and need be in no haste
again to enter into the conflicts of war; but he
must say, that the way to maintain peace was
not by making dishonorable sacrifice either
OF our colonial or our domestic industry. (Hear,
hear') lie was as willing as any one that if a
doubt should arise about our rights the ques-
ton should be referred to an umpire, he cared
not whom; and he was equally willing to con-
| cede to the American States that to which we
had no right, But if it came to this that the
Bible should be quoted for the title of the Anne
rlcans to the Oregon territory, he trusted that
we should not 90 sneaking to the United States
with the boon Of free trade in our hands, and
ready to give away the birth right of the British
! farmer. (Cheers.) But if these differences
should not pass away, he should not ask the
right hon. gentleman in the chair to have the
Bible read at the table; but, relying on the all
| powerful aid Of the God of Battles, he should
conhde that we would be enabled to address the
Americans in the language Of British thunder

clear, hear) Firm in the justice of our cause.
when the last resources of peace should have
passed away, with an adjust Providence on
our side, fearing no human enemy, they would

He was no friend to war; but if war should
come, he would send those British seamen,
whom their present legislation was inuring so
much, to destroy the American seaboard, and
to speak in language which could not be mis-
understood to. New York, and Boston, and New
Orleans. Turning from this warike demon
straton against America, which was loudly
cheeled by the House, he entered into a long
statistical dissertation, displaying much indus
try and research TO prove that the shipping i'll
terest were injured, and would be still more
essentially injured by the relaxation of the pro-
lection under which it had grown up If the
shipping interest were injured, our maritime
supremacy would be endangered; and If by any
vicisstude of fortune it should be lost, the glo-
ry and prosperity of England would be placed
in the utmost jeopardy.

the success Of this troupe Of Ministries is unmis-
takeable; not only their evening concerts, but
those they now give every Monday morning,
continue TO be crowded with the elite of the
metropolis. Their first engagement with Mr.
| Mitchell ceases in the ensuing week. but SO
satisfactory has it proved in its result, that we
understand Encouragement has been entered
into for ten weeks longer, when they quit

gagements. The following is list of fash

with their prosences:-Duke and Duchess of

The London Observer, in speaking of the
Ethopians, says:-''They appear as five nc
grOes, bat the blackness of their compilations
only seems artificial, and their features have
no Numidian cast. They are, in fact, Ameri
cans, but they sing a number of national negro
melodies with great skill and beauty of voice.
however, the voice is secondary to the Skill
and we never heard better combination Of
sounds, for they cling perfectly in tune, and OBJ

novelty of effect and seems very attractive, for
the audiences are overlooking. They only
perform OH alternate nights with the French
company, but they have morning concerts
twice or three times week, and they are so
much approved by the town that Mr. Mitchell
has Just extended his engagement with them,
so that it will last quite to the end of his sea-
son. Then, after visiting more of our great
towns, they will proceed to Paris and the con-
tinent. The style is quite new, and is a most
/ pleasing mixture of pathos and comicality.--
/ We have heard them more than once, and like
best some pieces which they make less promi-
nent IN their bills.
CLERICAL JOKE. A story is going the rounds,
about clergyman who was dismissed by his
