HOUSE OF COMMONS-SATURDAY. EXTRAORDIVARY MANOEUVRE. rhe Committee of the whole House stood ad- journed to twelve o'clock this day, to take into consideration the amendments of the Canada Bill proposed by Sir William Follett and other mem- bers. At twelve, however, and subsequently through the whole day, the reporters gallery re- mained closed but at half-past twelve the reporters were informed that the house had adjourned, having adopted all the amendments. The arrangement and purpose of this trick are quite intelligible. Mini- sters having had quite enough of discussion, smug- gled down enough of their members to constitute a oommittee, and then hurried over their distasteful work in secret. The time appointed for the Speaker to take the chair to-day was 12 o clock, but shortly before that hour'the House met and transacted all the business before it. The Reporters' Gallery not being opened, we are indebted to the kindness of Mr Rickman (second clerk of the House) for the following brief account of the proceedings:— CANADA BILL. Mr. BERN AL brought up the report of the Com- mittee on the Canada Government Bill, which was agreed to. On the motion of Sir G. GREY, the amendments proposed last night were agreed to, the bill ordered to be reprinted, and read a third time on Monday. The House, after sitting a few minutes, adjourned. (For co0inmtion of Parliament set our second page.) N ( POVERTY AND RESIGNATION. do-- I visited several of the small farnn belonging to tbe-Marquis of ) near Hilltowri, on the west side of the road leadi:ig to Rosirevor, where I found the houses any thing hut coiiir,,)i-tab'e the floor of earth containing little pools of water that had found its way through the roof. In these pools the ducks were paddlitir, and the large pigs walked in and out at pleasure. Some of the dwellings were without a chimney, the smoke making its escape \by holes in the roof and at the door. About eight acres of land were attached to each of these houses on the side of a damp hill. The rent was X4. Some had a cow and horse; but others had neither—not even a pig. Their furniture consisted of a table, and sometimes a chair or a stool or two. Some cabins -on the east side of the road, on an e-tata belonging to Mr B-irrington, are miserable dwell- ings; but whether a middleman intervenes I do not know. I went-into one, twelve feet long by eight wide, the height beiii- short of six feet. This apart- ment was the only one for a man. his wife, and three children. Two acres of poorlalid near the moun- tains were let with this ca;)in, The rent of the whole was X2. The woman met us at the (iior, and with a cheerful smile invited us in. She and her children looked healthy and happy, though the hus- band could not obtain work, and they lived on potatoes alonp. frequeutly without even salt. They were not worth a chair, and the mother sat on the ground. TlÍe happy countenance of this woman astonished me and Ifeel that if I were to call her poor, I should do her an injustice. The bed., if they deserve the name, consist of a little straw on a few poles, raised a foot from the floor, with a scanty blanket and some old rags. If- it poor family call procure a penny-worth of buttermilk occasionally, to be divided amongst six of them, they are satisfied; two shillings per annulU supply them with tea and sugar, which they only usê on particular occasions. These poor lri-shliave frequently not potatoes suf- ficient to. satisfy hunger, and are compelled to seek subsistence from the weeds of the field and the sea-weed of the shore; It is not unusual to boil for food the weed called tbe prasagh, a sort of sinapig, or what in some parts of Enghnd is called ketlock or runch; and where the hawthorn is allowed to grow, they eat the berry, or haws, which they, can "skeehony." Yet their misery is borne with cheer- fulness. The submission of these poor creatures to the hard destiny entailed upon them is remarkable. Upon one occasion a woman observed to me, that «• they had hard fare and disappointments, but God prepared the back for the harden." By way of giv- ing them some little comtori, 1 frequently remarked, thatthey and their children were more healthy than the rich tliey would teply, "God so ordered it for the poor."

BLACK, VVlUTEj AND BROWN. Our Chit Chatu shall this week give place to a skeich by "Mr Hood."

Having proclaimed the source of our approbation, we hope we shall escape the appellation of flOBIN (robbing) tlooD. lilac1!, White, and Brown. "All at onre Iliq Morbid left o.fT slizar. She did not resign it as some person* lay, down 'heir carriage, the tull-bodied family-coach dvind- 1jn>; iDto.a chariot.>. next.into a fly, and then into a -;edan-cliair. She did not shade it off artistically, like certain household economists, from wti te to white)' brown, bro«n. dark-brown, and s:) on, tn none at all. She dropped it,as Corporal Trim let fall his hiit.-dab. It vanished, as the French say, toot sweet. From the 30th of November. 1830, not an ounce of sugar, to use .Miss Morhid's o^n expression, ever' darkeued her doors.' "Ttte truth was, she had been present the day before at atf Anti-Slavery Meeting;and had listened to a 10(itrin6- Abolitionist, who had drawn her street tooth, root and branch, out of her head Thenceforth sifgar, or as she called it, shugger,' was noionger white, or brown, in her eyes, but red, blood red—an abomination, to indulge in which would convert a professing Christian into a prac- tical Cannibal. Accordingly she made a vow, under the influence of moist eyes and refined feel- ings, that the sanguinary article should never more enter her lips or her house; and this petty parody of the famous Berlin Decree against our Colonial produce was rigidly enforced. "In the mean time. the cook and housemaid grumbled in concert. At the prohibition: they naturally thought it very hard to be deprived of a luxury which they enjoyed at their own proper cost; and at last only .consented to remain in the service, on condition that the privation should be handsomely considered in their wages. With a hope of being similarly remembered in her will, the poor relatious..of-lkliss Morbid continued to drink the 'w arm without.' The greatest sufferers, however;were M i.ss fyforbid's two nephews, still in the morning of their youth, and boy-like, far more inclined to sip the sweets' than to hail the dawn.' They had fyrmerlylooked on tbeir Aunt's house as peculiarly a Dulce Doinnm. Prior to her sudden conversion, she haO been famous for the manufacture of a sort of hard-bake, comjnonly called TofTy or Taffy,—but now, alas,4Taffy was not at home, and there was nothing else to invite a call. Currant tart is tart indeed without sugar; and as for the green gooseberries, they always tasted, all the young gentlemen affirmed, 1 like a quart of berries sharpened to a pint. To tell the truth, her own temper soured a little under the prohibition. She persevered notwithstand- log in her system; and to the constancy of a martyr added something of the. wHfillness of a bigot;—in- deed, it was hinted by patrons and patronesses of white charities, that European objepts had not J tbeir.fair share in her benevplgoqq, be was pre- eminently the frieqd of thf blacks. Howbeit; for all her sacriBcest naLa lash was averted from their sable backs. She had raised, dj. conte-nt in the kitchen,. »he bad disgusted her ae- quaintanpe, sickened her friends, and given, her own dear little nephews the ftomach-ache, without saving'Qtiashy from one put of the driver's whi or.diverting a single kick from tbe shins of Sambo. 'Her grocer complained loudly,of being called* Jealor in, human gore4 yet not one. hogshead the less was imported fro(JJ the Plantations. By an error common to all her class, she mistook a nega. tive for a positive principle and persuaded herself, that by riot preserving damsons, she preserved the Niggers; that by not sweetening her own Ollp, she was dulcifying the lot of all her sable brethren in bondage. She persevered accordingly in setting her facfe against jugar instead of slavery-against the plant instead of the planter; and had actually abstained for six months from the forbidden article, when a circumstance occurred that roused her sympathies into more active exertions. It pleased an American lady toimporl with her a btack female servant, whom she rather abruptly dismissed, on her arrival in England. The case was considered by the Hampshire Telegraph of that day, as one of I GRE.,LT HARDSHIP; the paragraph went the round of the papersr-and in due time attracted the notice of Miss Morbid It was precisely addressed to her se;isibilities,and there was a 'Try Warren' tone about it that proved irresistible. She read- and wrote—-and in the course of one little week, her domestic establishment was ma'iciously but truly described as consisting of two white Slaves and t blaok Companion.' "The adopted Protegee was, in reality, a strap- ping clumsy Negress, as ugly as sin, and with no other merit than that of jbtihg of the same colour as the croW. She wa" artful, sullen, gluttonous and above all, so intolerably indolent, that if she had beeb literally I earve-d in ebony,' as old Fuller says, she could scarcely have been of less service to her prolectres* and shortly after the instal- ment of the negress in tfie family, a moral disease broke out with considerable violence, and justly or not, the odium was attributed to the new comer. Its name was theft. First, there was a shilling short in some loose cliange-next, a missing half, crown from the inantel- piece- then there was a stir with a tea-spoon—anon, a piece of work about a thimble. Things went, nobody knew how. The Cook could, the Housemaid would, fend Diana should, and ought to take an oath, declaratory of innocence, before the mayor; but as Diana did not volunteer-an Itffidavitlike the others, there was no doubt of her guilt in the kitchen. Miss Morbid, however, came to a very different conclusion. She thought that whites who could eat sugar, were eapabieotanyatrocity. In fact, the mistress had arrived at the determination of giving both her white hussies their month's warning, when unex- pectedly the thief was taken, as the lawyers say, I in the manner,' end-with the goods upon tbe per- son. In a word, the ungrateful black was detected in the very act of levying what might be called her 4 Black Mail.' After tier first consternation bad subsided, Miss Morbid proceeds to investigate- 11 1 And now, you black, wretch, she- concluded^ having just given the flctshifig touch to a portrait of Satan himself; 41 Insist on knowing what I was robbed for.

In that case be must say that he could be no party to carrying the BHHnto etfeci. The oeaponsibility must rest with those who intro- p djced and sanctioned such changes. Sir R. PEEL declared that he should steadily persevere in endeavouring to persuade.the House of the propriety of those alterations which be in. tended to propose; and that he slioultl- not be tempted to swerve from jthat course by any pro- posals of compromise, nor by any vague Intimations from Lord John Russelt. "He was strengthened in the propriety of this course by Mr E'lice-'s-speech. After an extended debate, Lord J.

Peel, or others, dis. approved of the proposed policy of the government, they were bound to express the same by address or resolutions. Sir R. PEEL then rose, *ad "a* recelvw with 1<h»4 eheejrs from the opposition. He sai"ir, when first became, possessed of the Bill ot the Noble Lord for making a mporary pro vision for the government of Lower Canada, I availed myself of the earliest possible opportunity of giving, pnblic notice that there were two provisions in that Bill to which 1 entertained an Insuperable objection—that it was my intention to move an amendment, and to take the sense of the House for the purpose of having Jhe. deliberate decision of. parliament upon them. The course I took of giving notice of the meets which I meant to propose was rather ah-" unusual one, bat I resorted to it for tho-express purpose of disclaiming any advantage from conceaf- ment, and in order to enable the Noble Lord to take those measures which are usually taken upon notices- of amendment on important matters, by. sec^ru^g. such.an assemblage of members as should clothe tl|e decision of this .House with the, important q rscter of numbers. And, Sir, from 16,f,il never entertained the slightest doubt thft 1 should: ..SueceP,d- (loud opposition.cheers), 1 cared not what betheattetidguee; I felt satisfied that tbe t amendments I should propose were founded upon. reason and common sense, and I did pay that. caiiv< f pHmentto the House of Commons, to, believe Jbat-, they could not by possibility resist the adoption of.. them—(loud cheers). -And when I heard gentle»;< men on the other side say that these very wordf in the preamble constituted in their eyes, *be-" chief, if not the sole, recommendation of this Bill- when I read in the organs of government detionei* atlon of my tttotives and intetitiottis-still my con. fidencela ultimate success wa# not is The slightest degree diminished — continued cheering). Nay, whea I heard the Noble Lord last nights say, speak. ing of my proposed objections, that if they were objections of fbrOi be would withdraw his 0ppo&U lion, whereas if they were, objection# of substance bo should find great difficulty and whea 1 iusiMlUy ■{1 :f) declared that my objefctions were not objections of form, but objections of substance, still my confidence in the reasonableness of my proposition wns not in be slightest degree abated, and I felt perfectly satisfied that either by a majority, or by the hope of a majority, or by the voluntary adoption of my amend- mejiis on the part of government, reason wouH prevail, and that the objectionable clauses would be struck from the Bill-(renewefi cheers from the Conservative benches). Sir, my confidence hall been justified by the result, for I understand the Noble Lofd iodet-larethat he is prepared to adopt, without purification, the propositions I have made—(cheers). It is therefore wholly unnecessary for me now to declare What my own views and intentions are, un- leikti lo preclude the possibility ofmiscottstrnction. Idia- iot move for the simple omission of the pre- amble of the Noble Lord; but I also, at the same time, expressly stated' what was the substitute I proposed: I proposed, upon mature consideration, that, i-tv lieu of certain portions of the preamble of the -Noble Lord, there should b.* inserted these worou-11 And whereas it is expedient to rtiake teiii- pwsrj provision for; the government of Lower Canada, in order that Parliament may be enabled, after mature deliberation, to make permaueut ar- rangemeots for the constitution and government of the said provinae. Mark, I did not say, for the goverumeut" inei-ely, but I iriseried lite word "con- stitutiou" for the express purpose of implying that that government should be constitutional. I also added the words 44 that the basis should be a per- manent one," and also ipoved 41 that the basis should be one which would secure the rights and liberties, and promote the interests of all classes of her Majesty's Government." By nsini; the words interests ot all classes of her Majesty's sub- jects," I did claim for parliament the right of taking a comprehensive view of the whole subject—of considering the claims of British sub- and of providing by the establishment of a representative system for the protection of British property, British feeling, and British opinions. By the wo'rdd rights aud liberties," 1 expressly meant toi-uply that every right which the French Canadian* now possess, either by capitulation or by treaty, should be strictly reserved to them; that those rights in respect to reiigio«„ and in respect to every peculiar privilege derived. ff"m capitulation or treaty, should be preserved inviolate. I also meant to imply my desire that the French and British Canadians should equally have the benefit of a free constitutional government, ona comprehensive basis, established with a determination to provide such a machinery of administration as should enable the imperial government, white it recognised fully the freedom of the colonists, to Jdischarge the responsi- bility of defence which it has taken upon itself, and at the sane time to confer upon them all the blessings of a wise and even-handed pol icy- (cheers). Sir, I trust. we have no interest or object whatever in these discussions, save to secure good and constitutional government for the Canadians. We cannot und r- take to great a responsibility as that which in our imperial character we are about to undertake, unless upon the assumption that there is in the eolony a desire to maintain the connection with the mother country, and on the part of the British inhabitants a determination to assert the supre- macy of this country, sacrificing to that gre-it object all miner considerations. YVith .the amendments I have proposed before the House, I do not think it necessary here to enter more fully into a declaral ion of my opinions. The amendments themselves, which the House is now about to adopt, are the best record of ray sentiments—(hear, bear.) The Noble Lord has entered somewhat unnecessarily into his views on this question. In some respects, I entirely agree with him. For instance, I agree with him that-it is most iinportaut that the government of Great Britain should appear to the Canadians in the amiable cha. racter of arbiter between the extreme parties, pril- pared not to consider the acrimonious feelings either of the French Canadians, who believed themselves in The first instance aggrieved, or of the British in- habitants, who were justly exasperated oy wnat had occurred during the late itisurrectiolial-Y attempt, but certainly not to allow either oftho4o parties to be their advisers in the case. Yet, on the other hand, I must say that it would have been only prudent jto have placed the British Govei-nuieiit i-i the situation to he arbitrary with effect, shotildi, eiretini-taisces thereafter arise to give occasion for the exercise of summary power. And! cannot help thinking that you ought to have had at the disposal of govern- ment such a preponderating military force as would have ensured respect for ttiie law, and maintained the supremacy of the crown, I would have had you prepare yourselves with a sufficient British force, determiued tovindicate the honour of the crowd, and checking on the instant any display of intem- perance not warranted by the necessity of the case, so that you might have avoided the hazardous, and, as it has turned out, the dreadful alternative of call- ing in the aid of volunteers, who add to their mili- tary zeal all the vengeful passions of long-continued civil strife—(hear, hear.) ThiA, while I confirm the policy the Noble Lord now lays down, I am bound to express" my ttrong condemnation of the former policy of the Government, which at the time the resolutions of the imperial legislature reached Canada, did not take care to prevent the, temd!ati,iii to revolt-(hear, hear) Sir, the Noble Lord says, now—taking a different view from that which he took yesterSay-(heAr, hear,) that no inconvenience can ari?e from the omission of these words; that no reflection on Government can be implied frolu the mere omision of these words. But, says the N ible Lord, 14 If you object to the policy we msau to pur- sue, it ft ydfcr duty to move a vote of censure-on our instructions to Lord Durham." Now my priuciple- is that we have nothing whatever to do with those inst ruttions -(loud cheers from the opposition.) I will not call. In 4uestioii the exercise of the preroga- tive by which the crown appointed Lord Durham, however.I might enter into the question of fitness. HebaabeeaMectedbythecrowtt; and I am too f welt awaro of the importance of njaintainiug the prerogative of the Crown, to desire to question its exercise-(plteers.) The first attempt on the part of this House to question it woold involve the esta- blishment of a most dangerous precedent, and 1 shall therefore proceed upon the principle of not questioning these instructions to the Earl of Dur- ham—(hear, hear.) I will not, for the aaine reason, notice those instructions. Nor will J pass a vote of t censure 00 them; because, iff once began, 1 should And. parts to approve, and parts to condemn, and I must then select one from the other. And what wodtd be the consequence? Why, that 1, an indi- vidual Member of Parliament, became the adviser of the Crown, and a party to instructions given by the crown-(bear, hear.) It is true, it may be said that if J could give an unqualified tjensure, I could give a qualified one also. But in order to do that I must make a selection, and if I exercise that degree of judgment, I am directly claiming for the Home of Coramona-a partnership in the exercise of the prero- gative of the crown, and fortifying a priuciple which in a monarohial country would be most dat,gerouti- (hear.) Therefore, I tell the Noble Lord fairly that he may expect from me nocondellHlation of his instructions. I do not think we ought ever to have seen those instructions, and holding that, opinion, I will in DO shape whatever, by vote or otherwise, contract any responsibility with respect to them— (hear, hear.) But I afn, at the sanietitne, bound to add that I'shall not the less hold the Qcwerument entirely responsible for those ins t ructi oniv, that my silence must not be considered as involving soy res ponsibility; and that I shall claim as entire a right hereafter to question those instructions, as if I had never heard of them until the moment for canvassing them arrivea-(hear, hear.) As j have already said, i will not put my opinion on record by voting in any way upon these instructions but if you ask me my private opinion of them, I have at once no hesitation in saying that of all the documents 1 ever read in my life, I thiuk them the most eminently absurd-(loud cheers.) Would it not have been better to wait until the last moment before you gave your instrue- tions 1—(bear, hear.) If you had called me into your councils, I should not only have moved an amendment on your Bill, but also on your instruc- tions. My instructions would have been worded 5bus:—My Lord, 1 have postponed until the latest moment—(a laugh)-the instructions 1 have to give you. I was desirous of availing melf up to the latest possible moment of the intelligence that might arrive from Canada—(a laugli)->in order that I might the-ssore truly, ascertain the position of parties, and, ..above all, ^the feelings and opinions of men of all .sides, as affected by the late revolt-(w lau-,h-) But Parliament having now intrusted you wi!h an immense authority, and having placed no restrictions CHathat Buthority, afortiori, I think it incumbent on me to leave you on your arrival in a state to de- termine on the best course of action— (cheers.) So ror. from fettering you, who are not to sail until the rbt of April-(hear, hear)—with instructions writ- <<a on the 20th of Jan.—(hear, hear)—implying a total want or confidence in your means of acquiring local information; and far from undertaking to dic- ".te; to you]ho" many ruen shall be selected from Jfeis council, and how many men from that-how many delegates shall be drawn from Upper Canada, and how many from Lower Canada, I will at once itate to you the general principles and views of her Majesty's Government, haviog confidence enough in your Lordship to believe thatV-you will be best qualified to judge of the means of giving eflect to those views"—(hear, hear.) These, if I had been consulted, would have beeu the instructions I wnuld have recommended to be given to Lord Durham- (obeeri.) I ask, in the name of common senoo, if V- ,V- you have confidence in Lord Durham, would it not be better to leave him to judge, on his arrival in Canada, what was the best mcans of ascertaining the real state of public opinion ?-(hear, hear.) The Noble. Lord challenged ,me to express my opinion on the instructions. I tell hifh I will not give him that opinion in a formal shape; but I have given him,li1 private opinion, as an index of what my proceed- j inifs may hereafter be. My objection is that you leave to Lord Durham no discretion. You say to liini, Either you shall have no meeting of Canadian authorities at all, or you shall have it in the precise Conn which we have prescribed to you in the Bill," You alllo ask Parliament to be a party to your pro- ceeding. Suppose on Lord Durham's arrivql he should find a great change in the sentiments of the existing members of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada—suppose they should say. We have been deceived by the representations of artful insti- gators of rebellion"-do you think it right to force Lord Durham, notwithstanding such a change still to call together the whole constituent body (of whom, according to the Right Honourable Gentle- lIIall the Member for Coventry, not two in a hundred can read,) in order that they should appoint delegates for the purpose of makiug a settlement on a most comprehensive basis? Surely it would be better to leave to the governor, whom you have appointed with such full powers, to determine on the best mode of ascertaining public opi it ion -(hear, heir) Frauklv and honestly then I tell you, that! do condemn your instructions; and, certain as I was of succeding in my motion of to-night, Ro.equ,dly couficlent am I that you will withdraw your own instructions also- (enthusiastic cheering) I say again, you will pot maintain these instructions—that, wishing after this unfortunate revolt to conciliate public feeling in Lower'Canada, you will not maintain instructions which empower Lord Durham to call together ten delegates from Lower Canada, ten from Upper Canada, and three from the legislative councils of each province, not to consult aiyl advise with res- pect to matters common to the two Caiiadas, but to consider what shall be done to meet the expenses of the civil government of Lower Canada—(hear, hear.) Remember that in any event you secure a majority of 16 to 10 against the Lower Canadians-(hear, hear) —and that one of Aheir occupations must be the establishment of courts in the lower province, for the purpose of trying impeachments—(hear). It does seem to me to be a little too much in the spirit of insult to Lower Canada, that matters such as these should be decided by a council, of which IS of the members are to be from Upper Canada, and, in all probability, exasperated against the people of the lower province and three more members of the" present legislative council of the province. Then, let me ask, which is the better course—to leave Lord Durham, arriving in Canada, in May or Jurte, to determine as lie be<t can the state of the feelings of parties there, or to say to him, "If you do call together any committee of advice, I give you notice that the crown wishes it shall be so constituted as to give to the British interest a preponderance of sixteen members over the ten who are to represent Lower Canada?"—(hear, hear.) I have been led thus to express my opinion because, after the challenge f have received, it would be dishonest in me to avoid stating it (sub* ject to the reservation I have, made), believing, as I do, that this is the clumsiest mode that could. be. devised for obtaining the fair opiqions of men in a country situated as Lower Canada now is, or for bringing about that which, as tar as I know, may be the object really most desired—the union of Upper and Lower Canada-r-^tea^, hear.) For these reasons I have objected to your instructions, and, so far from my proposing unnecessary instruct tions to Lord Durham, it is you who have chosen to give him these preliminary instructions, which were wholly uricalled for ^t the'legitimate exigen- cies of the case. But I kriow why you gave them (hear.) It was necessary for you to issue your institictions ia order to prop lip your abortive pre- amble-(hear, hear.) YOII knew that you had nor- thing to resort to but the melancholy alternative of givihg Lord Durham these inexplicable expla- nations, which, I tell you again and again, you will have to call back and repeal !-(vehement cheering from the Conservative benches.) I have many other objections to these instructions; I could urge them, but I do not think the occasion a fitting one. 1 am sorry that I have been compelled to say so much, but, to a certain extent I could not help it. I do not say that it may not become desirable for the House of Commons itself to consider the sub- jects involved in these instructions. 1" can sup- pose the time niijjht come when we would say to the legislative assemblies of Upper and Lower Canada, and to those of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Do not suppose that we wish to keep up a tyrao, nical dominion in these colonies—«e have a com- mon interest, and that only we wish to maintain. As far as pecuniary matters are concerned, the risk and expense of defending you in the moment of difficulty, is infinitely greater than any prospective advantage which we might gain by keeping you." I do not say, therefore, that the time may not come wtien it may be necessary for Ut to resolve ourselves into a Committee of the whole House to consider this question, if acceptable to the North American colonies. I would not exclude Nova-Scotia and New Brunswick from oul' consideration, whether iI would not be possible to c-ffect some such ohj -ct as; to unite all these provinces into one great depen- dency on Great Britain, to he maintained as long as possible in friendly understanding with her—(hear,, hear.) And if the time should come when the con- nection must ceii,;v-itot that I think this all event jit all likely to happen, for, after some radical effer- vescence rfhall have passed away, I am satisfied that we shall all return to a good old English feeling at last —1 am satisfied that, in spite of the disaffection of French Canadians, the sympathies produced by com- mon laws, a common language, and common interests between thecotonists and the mother country, would inevitably produce a state of things not very ditfer, enl, except in the actual forms of government, from that which exists at prqsent—(hear, hear.) I would not, however, consent to preclude and shut out the possibility or such a future arrangement, by giving my assent to the course of proceeding pointed out in these instructions—(hear, hear.) Nor will I bar myself from the hope that in respect to the two Canada*, some arrangement in the nature of a union may be formed, which would leave them in the pos- session of their rights, but by whifh weahouidse- cure the means of providing, not. for our expenses, so much as for their good government. (The R'ght Hon. Bart, concluded his speech, which was towards the close so interrupted by cheers as to be at times not distinctly intelligihle, "amidst the strongest de- monstrations of interest on all sides of the House.) Much general djiscusgiou then ensued; in which Mr E'lice, Mr D. \V. Harvey, Sir W. Follett, Lord Stanley, &c took part. The several amendments proposed by Sir R. Peel were conceded. Sir VV. FOLLETT gave notice that .he should move the introduction of a clause, prohibiting the proposed council to suspend or niter any act of the Imperial Parliament, or any act of the local legisla- lure that hal altered or suspended any act of the Imperial Parliament. The House having resumed, the report was ordered to be received to-morrow, for which purpose the House will meet at 12 o'clock. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he proposed such course in order that the report might be received and agreed to, and the Bill read a third time on Monday. He also stated that in the meantime the clause contemplated by Sir W. Follett should be considered. Hia Lordship added, in reply to Mr lvakicy, that the Bill, all further amended, should again be repriuted. ■ r .#

CAMBIIIDGE, JAN. 27.—The late Dr. Smith's annual prizes of £ 25 each to the two best pro- ficients in mathematifcs and natural philosophy among the commencing bachelors of arts, were on Thursday last adjudged to Thomas J. Main, of St. John's College, and James G. Mould, of Corpus Christi College, the firllt and second wranglers. The will of the late Mr Thompson (who was for many years the leading partner in the well- known wine and spirit establishment on Holborn- hill, under the title of 44 Thompson and Fearon," now converted into a wholesale warehouse) has just been proved in Doctors-commons by Mary Thomp- son, his widow, and Seymour Teuliu, David Liston. and George Henderson, the executors. Thp amoullt of personat property in the province of Canterbury is sworn under X'fiO.OOO, independent of a large estate in America, which is said to be worth 940,0(10. The testator has left the whole of his fortune to his widow and fainily. The poor of the several parishes in the Drox- ford Union, Hampshire, subscribed the humble sum ofonepennv, each family, to present a bible to > Mr Walter," the late member for Berkshire, as it tribute of respect for his exertions to soften t'>e rigour of the New Poor Law.

NINE LIVES LOST FitOll SKATING.—On Wed- nesday week nine persons were drowned" in the reservoir at llollinwood, near Oldhare. They wa,re skating at the time, and the ice having broken, 14 were plunged into the water,and only five were saved. Three of (lie nitie were inarried inen. SLEDGE DITIVING. The late severe frost has been the means of introducing the sledge to our streets, which, though a novel equipage here, is jweH known in northern latitudes.

SPOUTS ON THE THAMES -FHIDA Y, JAM. 25 The most level piece of ice extended along the whole front of the Custom House and the adjoining wharf eastward, spreading out in one compact body rather more than half way across the river; the remote corner opposite Gaily Q iay being at least two-thirds across the stream. Here at an early hour the watermen belonging to the Custom House upper and lower stairs formed a bridge of lug-boats, on which planks were laid over the inse- cure parts of thejoe near the quay, and exacted a toll of ld. from every person passing across on to the field of ice. This sum was cheerfully paid by upwards of 2,000 persons during the day, and proved a small, fund for the industrious watermen, who were unremitt ng in tl)eir attentions td their cus- tomers. Three skittle grounds were formed on the ice opposite the east corner of the Custom House, and the game was played by great numbers all day. There were also two fires on the ice, and persons with beer, liquor, and other refreshments, which brought to the recollection of many the celebrated frost fair on the Thames during the severe winter of 1814. In the middle of the day four gentlemen connected with a mercantile house in Mincing Lane cracked as many bottles of wine, and drank several loyal toasts, which were heartily responded toby the multitude. They afterwards played se- veral games at whist, a table being procured for that purpose, and p'aced on the ice at a distance of 100 yards from the, shqro. VVe did not hear of a single accident during the day, although there was at one time not less than 1,000 persons on the ice, whioh was not much affected by the tides. CORRECTING THE NEWSPAPER PRESS.—Few, are aware of the immense labour and oareCulness required in correcting the newspaper press, al- though most people are but too ready to impute to carelessness that which' is really the result of unavoidable circumstances.—A double-sheet of any of the London morning papers contains as much matter as would fill two, if not three Volumes of an ordinary octavo size. Now when it is taken into consideration that the whole of this has to be read at least three limes over-once, to come at the sense and correct the punctuation, and twice after- wards to amend the spelling; it must be admitted upon all hands that the operation of correcting the press, to say nothing of the procuring or arranging of the various articles, is by no means such a slight one as the: uninitiated and the uninforipeclseem to fancy.-In a double-sheet of the Times there are about a million of letters, and upon the firsl proofs of this mighty mass of characters being returned for the type-setters, not only is there an iufinity-of wrong spelled words, but whole sentences omitted —turned letters—words wrong divided at the end of lines-types used from wrongrount-spaces left out—letters standing apart, and numberless other little inaccuracies, any one of which the reader it ever ready to detect, although be knows nothing whatever of the difficulty of preventing such a cont catenation as woul11 unavoidably appear, withou- mach pains, promptitude, and application. — Even the«reprintingof a book^is a work ot considerable labour, but when it is taken into account that a great portion of every newspaper is in manuscript, and that such manuscript is in a variety of styles of writing, and many of them exceedingly diffictilt to decypher-and also that compositors are better acquainted with the me- chanical part of their business than with any very comprehensive knowledge of letters—when all these things are considered, the wonder is not so much that there should be any errors in the news- paper press, as that under all the ciroumstances there should be so few.
