Affairs In Canada—The Implicd Threat of Revolution. “ Dowsine street, June 3. “ My Lonp—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship’s despatch, No. $4, of the 13th of May, transmitting to me, for presentation to Her Majesty, an Di h ich has been voted by Her M Commons of Canada. jesty’s government conceive that the pro- tion principle cannot with justice be described as the universal basis, either of the general connexion between the United Kingdom and its colonies, or even of their commercial connection. There is a’ large and impor- address, w t lajesty’s loyal subje: . : tant group of the colonies of this country, having a very extended commerce, and one of a peculiarly British character, in relation to which the protective system has at no time exercised a powerful influence, and in rela- tion to which, at present, it has little more than a nomi- nal existence. | speak ofthe Australian colonies. And it cannot failto be remarked that while these are the rnost distant, and therefore, according to the supposition of many, the most in need of commercial preference, they have also made the most rapid progress, and ha thus most effectually belied that necessity. | It is true, indeed, that a part of their material prosperity may be ascrihable tothe supply of penal labor; but this is far from affording an explanation of the case, since perhaps the most remarkable instanges of vigorous and rapid growth among the Australian possessions of Her Ma- jesty have been instances in which penal labor has been altogether unknown. The energy of the colonists has, without doubt. under Divine Providence, been the main cause of their singular advancement; stimulated, but not overborne by distance, and aided, not repressed. by the enjoyment of commercial freedom. The same energies, with less disadvantage of distance to contend against, will, it may be confidently predicted, have a similar ef fect in developing the resources of British North Am rica. 4 F * . 0: e “It is not for the sake of controversial or pu mentative advantage that Her M. refer to former apprehensions, which they have been dissipated b ly argu. sty’s. Government to the manner in the event. A re- trospect of this kind is ulated to throw clear and abundant light upon the real merits of the question. The fears which are now entertained have reference to the cireum: ce that it is proposed to remove all differential duty between Canadian and foreign corn. be shown that Canadian corn trac tofore in proportion to the amount of such differential duty? Farotherwise. The law of 1828 diminished the difference in favor of Canada; the law of 1842 further and greatly diminished the difference in favor of Canada ; the law of 1643, which reduced the duty on Canadian wheat to 1s. per quarter, still left a much smaller difter- ence in its favor, as ageinst foreign wheat, than existed under either of the former corn laws; and yet the corn trade of Canada hos grown and prospered ; and its exten- sion has, doubtless, contributed in no small degree to the happiness and prosperity of the people of the colony, which the Assembly, sharing in the unmingled satisfac- tion of Her Majesty and the British Parliament, has seen Is it, then, to le has prospered here- advancing in steady and successful progression. But this extension hastaken place, not under protection se- cured from change, nor under protection fortified by successive increments, but contemporaneously with @ series of changes involving its great diminution. “Lt appears to be the impression of the Assembly that some great revolution of prices is likely to occur, as the consequence of the pending changes in the law, which will deprive the Canadian farmer of all hope of remuneration for his surplus produce. Butthe Canadian farmer is advancing from year to year in capital and in science ; and, to say nothing of the great advantages he cannot failte derive from improved communications would surely be rash to assert, nor probably do the J sembly in their address intend to imply, that his indust must be paralyzed unless he shall continue to receive the precise amount of average payment for his grain that he has hitherto received for it. * ai bie “6 “Tam unwilling to repeat at length the rguments which I have addressed to your lordship in my despatch, No. 66, of the 18th of May, with respect to the other great subject of the alarm of the ‘assembly —namely, the trade intimber. When, however, we revert to the year 1842, it cannot but be acknowledged that this was the case of @ trade peculiarly artificial as it stood under the former law. The reduction, though graduated, was decisive; perhaps in no case has it been more so; and certainly in no case have more uniform, confident, or sincere prophe- cies of ruin been hazarded by the opponents of the change. The result is, that the export of timber trom British North America ‘to this country attained during this year to a height which it had never reached under the more protective law. * * * Her Majesty's G t, therefore. cannot, on the part of the Imperial , Share in the fear that increased freedom of have the effect of crippling the revenues of ortant public works, which are designed to fa- da by th They can by no means subi those im cilitate the transit of the produce of Cana Lawrence to the sea. to the opinion, that the is anestablished fact. did subscribe to that opinion, although it might corrobo- rate the propriety of the course they have pursued in ribe omparative dearness of this route And they likewise feel that if they suggestion to parliament the interposition of an interval before entire freedom shail be given to the corn trade, it could do no more, it could not induce them to parliament to grant, nor, they are certain, could it induce the people of Canada to desire, that the market of their farm produce should be maintained by means of a perpe- tual tax upon the people of England. “In referring to the unchecked competition which, so far as British law is concerned, will be established between colonial and fo- reign corn by the repeal of the corn law, it perhaps may not have occurred to the assembly that British law alone cannot suffice to establish this competition. The price which the colonial and foreign exporters of corn respec tively will obtain for their grain in Great Britain must always be materially affected by the comparative degrees of facility which may be afforded in thfe country of the one and of the other for the introduction of those British goods by which payment for the corn must substantially made. British goods are admitted into Canada at very low, into the American Union at very high, import du- ties, The effect of this is not merely to give to the Bri- tish exporter a better position in the Canadian market than in that of the United States, but to enable him to give abetter price for the commodity he purchases in return, and therefore to give to the corn tradé of Canada & corresponding advantage, so long as the present tariffs continue, over that of the United States With Aor ne to that portion of the address which prays Her Majesty to invite the government of the Uni- ted States, to establish an equality of trade between the dominions of the republic, and the British North Ameri- can colonies, | am commanded to instruct your Lordship to assure the Assembly, that Her Majesty will readily directions to be given to her minister at Washing- ton, to avail himself of the earliest suitable opportunity, to press this important subject on the notice of that go. vernment, and that it will afford Her Majesty the most sincere satisfaction, if any communication which may hereafter be held for this purpose, shall have the effect which is desired by her faithful Commons of Canada. * With respect to that part of the address which relates to the duty of Is. per quarter, which it is proposed to charge on all wheat importe@into England after the re- peal of the corn law, | am to refer y Lordship to my despatch, No. 56, of the 18th April, on the same subject.

Torlonia tili 1855, overnment keeping an interest in the concern of 3 per cent., besides a sum of 600,000 florins. This monopoly orings in a total of one million of florins a year, the only sufferer is the public, both the articles in question being of the worst quality. the annual meeting of the sharehol bank took place at the Company’s house, St, | Helen’s place. Mr. Gillespie presided. Mr. Att wood, the men read the report, which stated that the Hamilton branch had become a member of the institution. The directors, alive to the growing importance of Canada West, had opened similar establishments at Brantford and Dundas. The report then proceeds :— “While. however, they have thus availed themselves of the opportunities presented for extending the profita- ble operations of the bank, the directors have not failed to impress upon the managers and local boards of the dif- ferent branches the importance of acting with t prudence, so as to give ne encouragement to excessi speculation, this having become the more nec: from the changes in the tariff and in the corn-laws affec- ting the trade of the North American colonies, proposed to parliament by Her Majesty’s ministers.” The report alluded to the absconding at the Montreal branch, named Ready, by which a loss of 00 was entailed. To cover this loss, a similar | amount had been deducted from the profits of the bank 2 jetter carri last year in the accounts new presented. ‘The amount of undivided net profit to Dec. 31, 1844, was... teeters eens ees £90,439 141 The'net profit for the year 1945, after de- es, and pro- ul debts, was 56,293 16 0 duction of all current Rese viding for all bad and doubt From which is tobe taken the amount of dividends paid— At Midsummer, 1845...

To put the meeting in full possession of the progress made in the al- fairs of the bank, up to the Ist of May in the pre- sent year, as compared with the same date of the past year, he would read the following statement. The figures were in Halifax currency. The amount of deposits in May, 1845, in the various | banks, was £174,618. In May, this year, they were £233,152. The amount of circulation in May, 1845, was £240,002, and on the Ist of May last, £372,378. In May. 1845, the amount of in- terest was £21,618, ‘and last month, £30,385. Under the head of bills discounted, the amount ' on the Ist of May, 1845, was £1,010, but on the Ist ultimo, $1,433,585. (Hear, hear.) Refer- | ence was made in the report to the corn bill, which, if passed, might to some extent prove in- jurious to the Canadas, but still they considered that with caution the operations of the bank would be most usefully and preMitably extended, The rest last year, at the time it was made up, was 400. “It was, by the return now made up, £36,900, and that too, after making provisions for a dividend of five per cent, instead of four per | cent. The report was adopted, and thanks were voted to the Chairman and Directors, after which the meeting separated.

Of late, however, the Emperor Ni- | cholas is said to have shown a disposition to be- | come friendly with the court of France. His al- lowing his son to visit Toulon was considered a proof that his sentiments were undergoing a change; and lately he has placed at t'ce disposal of the King of the French several crosses of the orders of Russia for distribution among the offi- cers who waited on his son when in France. This last is considered a most gracious piece of con- descension on the part of the Czar.

All this was done on’ Monday morning at an early hour. Lecomte showed extraordinary fortitude. mounting the veaffold with a firm step, listening unmoved to the reading of the sentence, placi himself unassisted in the Tequired position, ai remaining unagitated for the few moments that elapsed before the knife fell, and his head was severed from his body.

His Holiness been indisposed daring the last week of May, but on the 23th or 29th of that month he Was deemed by his physicians per- fectly recovered. His death was sudden, and may possibly give nse to rumors such as followed the decease, similarly, of several of his predeces- sors. ordinary times, the demise of a Pope would not occasion any sensation in the political world, but such is not the case in the present in. stance. Pope Gregory XVI. was a good, kind, benevolent man, sincere in his religious prin- ciples, and more tolerant than most others who had held the keys of St. Peter. He was fully aware ofa coming crisis in his States; he fore- saw, and would by concession have obviated, the overwhelming storm, that cannot otherwise be prevented bursting upon Rome at least; but he ‘was overborne by the cardinals, who, to the re- peated entreaties of France and Austria, and it is said England, refused concurrence in even the slightest amelioration of the civil and political condition of the subjects of the Holy See. The member of the Sacred College most likely to suc ceed Pope Gregory XVI. is the Cardinal Fran- zoni, Prefect of the congregation of the Propa- ganda. He is, however, considered friendly to- wards the Jesuits, and will be, of course, fiercel: opposed by France—a power which, throug] its wily and talented representative at the Roman Court, is alleged to be playing a game in Italy upon which the other governments of Europe, Great Britain included, would do well to keep an eye.

Religious questions of great import are pending at this moment, and the change of June 9.] of Pontiff, and consequently of the Cardinal Secretary of State, may bo the source of new difficulties between | the court of Rome and the European governments. With | respect to Italy, this so ill-timed a death tom tthe rise to new insurrections, for discontent is genet rom papal misgovernment, and the agita.ion of the public mind in- creases from day to ie It will be remembered that in 1881, when Gregory XVI. a revolution broke out in central Italy, and that the movement extended in a few days overall the Roman states.

These were so evident, that even the representatives of the great powers deemed them well founded, and en the 21st of May, 1831, they delivered to Cardinal Barnetti, the new Secretary of State, the celebrated “memorandum,” containing the political and administrative reforms, which Gregory XVI. was advised to adopt.

The patriots of Romagna ublished at that time @ manifesto, in which they set forth thi use of the re volt, as also the reforms wished for by the people. The moderation and the justice of these demands were admitted by every one ; still the Court of Rome has obstinately persisted ia refraining from applying any remedy to that siate of things. ‘The disorder of the administration has continued. The finan- cial deficit has increased. Military commissions, politi- cal tribunals, eccl ical jurisdictions, the inquisition, have been upheld; consequently discontent is universal, persecutions are unceasing, the prisons always full, and the number of emigrants inc: °g. The evil is so great in the Roman states, that resignation is no longer possi- ble. And if the powers of Europe, who value so much the maintenance of peace, do not compel the Court of Rome to adopt the institutions pointed out by the memo- randum of the 21st of May, 1831, as also the manifesto of September, 1845, another and more serious insurrection may be expected.
