ARRIVAL OF TIE CANADA.
The Canada reached her dock al O'Clock
this morning. Our files of London papers arr
10 the 9Th instant inclusive, being the day o
her departure from Liverpool.
The Rale-in aid Ireland Bill was read tn
third time in the Commons with majority Of
seventy -four. The House Of Lords have now
TO deal with il; but il is probable that the bill
will not pass, notwithstanding the recommends
tiun contained 10 the Report OF The Select Com.
mi,tee Of the House.
In the House Of Lords, May 4th, Lord Stan
ley asked whether any private correspondence
had taken place respecting the Rebels Compen.
saton Bill in Canada, and whether the report was
correct, which asserted that this course Of com.
municalion had been adopted in order 10 oo
viale the necessity Of laying any Official papers
on the subject before the Housc9
Earl Grey. in reply, Informed their Lord
ships that no official correspondence had taken
place As TO the correspondence Of which the
noble Lord had spoken, he must add that private
letters had passed between himself and the 20.
vernon General of Canada, in which The Cover
nor General expressed his opinion that it was
his duty, 10 his high POSITION TO decide upon his

send it home, leaving it 10 Her Majesty's Go
yernment TO determine whether the decision to
which he might have come ought to be approved
or not by The Queen in Council. II would
therefore, rest on the Queen in Council TO de-
eide whether this bill should come into force oil
not. The Governor General had stated that he
thought il mex peJient, until he was called upon
TO act, TO make any report upon this bill; Tor y
appeared to him 10 be inexpedent that il should
be known in the colony what course he intended
10 take. He had not decided upon it, and, as he
had not taken any public decision upon It, nc
said that he could not consider It adv 'ntsgcou'
10 the public service that he should make re-
port upon it, He had likewise TO add, that ne
earl Grey had never given The Governor 1e
neral Of Canada, either publicly or privately
any instructions as to the course which ne
should pursue. He had abstained from dong so
deliberately and adyIsedly; for, IN ms OPINION

having go him, to give him large and wide
discretion and generous and trustworthy sup

the Governor General Of Canada advice on this
subject.
