The Canadian Legislative Council BAH.
In the House Of Lords, on July 6, the Earl Of
DTRBY said[l wish, my lords, to put question TO
the noble duke the Secretary for War Of which
eeVed any Official notice rom the Governor 40 or su
thoIies Of Canada relative to certain proceedings
alleged to have taken place in the House Of Assembly
there on the 2lst Of June last My information Is de-
private resources, and, according to such informa
ton, am given to understand that certain amend
ments have been carried relative to the Canadian
Clergy Reserve bill, in opposition to the views
piOpOuDded by the government side of the Legisa-
tive Assembly. The noble duke corrected me the
other evening in reference to q question was
putting to him. and which related to the Legislative
Council Of Canada, by stating that the House Of
Assembly mao not met tH SESSION.; puL Tue lAIOfn0.
ton that has reached me- and upon which feel in
cfned to place some considerable reliance is to the
effect that an amendment was actually moved In
the Assembly in relation to the Clergy reserves Of
Canada, and especially in reference to the proposed
dealing with the church property Of that country.
l have not received any detailed facts bearing on
the subject, but am generally given to understand
that an amendment was proposed in every way
antagonistic to the views Of the government,
and, believe, was carried, with some facility in
opposition to the government address. (Hear,
hear.) In consequence Of the government having
been 60 defeated, It was contemplated, as am in
formed, that there would be dissolution Of the
local Parliament, and change of administration in
the colony; and the question, therefore, that wish
to ask the noble duke Is, whether Her Majesty's
government have received any communications on
any such COMMUNICATION have been received Il is
not improbable that they may have some influence
and enect upon Her Majesty's government, and
shord some grounds for reconsdering the bill that
has lately been introduced upon the subject, and
cause some wise and judicious alterations to be
made in the same. {" Hear, hear" and laughter)
The Duke Of NEwCAsrLE-m reply to the question
o. the noble earl beg to state that her Msjestys
upon the subject to which he has refen:d. The
last despatch that her Msjesty's government have
received from the Governor General OF Canada il
dated on the 2lst Of june being the last day upon
regular channel of official Communication from that
officer. This despatch enclosed copy of the speech
Of the Governor General to the Assembly as well a.
other general news with reference TO the coony but
to which the noble earl referred. Her Majesty's
government have had, therefore, NO means Of off,
cially being made aware Of the proceedings alluded
soe only ST that have
which appears to have been received four days after
the proceedings to which the noble earl refers were
reported to have taken place. have no further in
formation to give upon the subject; and, although
the intelligence which the noble earl seems to have
received, yet, at the same time, considering the
source that It comes from, have been rather led to
conclude that the proceedings referred to have really
done so. (Hear, hear, and laughter) We all well
know, and none better than the noble earl, that
these things do take place in popular assemblies,
and We must not, therefore, be surprised at seeing
noble earl refers, adopted by conservative oppos
ton against liberal government in the colonies
(cbeers and laughter) more particularly after the
somewhat se combined opposition Of the established
tons against popular progression and improve
ments which we have lately 50 continuously and,
somewhat, SO unhappiy witnessed in another place.
sCheers) DO not however gee the immediate effect
the reason Of it's being put at the present time.
{Hear.)
The Earl of DERBY consider that the reply Of
the noble duke, instead Of being reply 70 my
having q quiet and composed assembly to review
any measures which may have been passed in An.
other place in a hasty and illconsiderate manner.

The English Revenue.
From the London Times, July 81
The reyenne Is so much an affair OF war, that for
one penny we spend upon our internal wellbeing
and improvement, eleven 60 to the maintenan e Of
onr army and navy, and to the cost Of old wars
Though wealth has its eyils-for abundance of
money enhances the cost Of nothing 80 much as Of
war-yet, without it, the bravest and strongest will
only fight against desperate Odds and with it we
are always able to fight another campaign. No
further apology is necessary for congratulating the
country on the abundance of the sinews OF war
shown in the revenue returns for the quarter, and
the proof they afford that war has not hitherto inter-
fered to any serious extent with our previous I'M
precedented prosperity.
The present position Of the revenue, and the alte.
ratioIs bearing on tie comparisons made in the
quarterly statement, are familiar to our readers,
