Mr. Vax Scuoonnoven made & specch on his motion to refer the petitions to restore Boughton, Earl, and others to their rights of citizenship to the Judiciary committee. This gave rise to a debate, that lasted to the hour of adjournment, which@as very warm and per- sonal, between Messrs. Harris, Beers and Lester.

The American Paper will contain full particulars of the seepeeiptione within the Unien: the following items of intelligence will give some idea of what is doing in our own Pro- vinoe. A public meeting was held at Kingston on the the 13th, and at Toronte onthe 16th instant, for the pur- pose of organising relief committees, to receive collec- tions in aid of the Irish and Scotch sufferers, and at last dates from those cities,172 and £360 had been contributed by the inbsbitants. ‘The Roman Catholic Bishop of Quebec has issued a circular letter to his flock, inviting their assistance for the some object, and the subscriptions received by the Quebec Committee had reached £3033 10s. 43. on the 22nd inst. The subscription from the last named city isto be divided between the Scotch and Irish ; the latter Lpraty 2 three-fourths of the whole. In Montreal, £3,000 have been already raised for a joint fund, on the same principle as that adopted at Quebec, and £* have been collected by another committee, who are mukiog a separate collection for the Highlands ; having declined to unite in the combined movement. In Cobourg, C. W., £300 has been collected : and in Belle- ville, C. W., £75, Next in importance to this attempt to relieve our fellow subjects, we may notice the excitement caused among us by the arrival of our new Governor General. Up to this moment everything has gone smooth, and his exco!- lency has gained as much popularity as he could well Jook for in the course of a month. While we do not for: get, however, that this has happened before to many po- teniates, who have not long retained the favor of their subjects, we must acknowledge that bis lordship’s man- ners are well calcudated to secure Cy aed good will twas something novel to see a Governor General walk to Church like an ordinary Christian; but if people were struck with the manly frankness of auch conduct, on an occariou when even rulers must feel themselves but men, they were equally pleased to find that his lord- shiy knew whet wos due to the dignity of his office. The splendid equipoge in which he drove intotown ut his iret levee was accordingly the general talk for soveral days. ‘The crowning aet, however, was his lordship’s appear. tance at the festival of the Mechanics’ Institute, where, in the presence of more than two thousand persons, he Proposed two rounds of cheers, and heartily took part m. He has since signified his inten jan of being nt at a soirée in the New Market, to be given in ai Scotch and /rish Relief Fund Sir F. B. Head’s book on Canada has been freely criti- cized, and in the Lower Province, at least, has met with litle‘ spprovel. His ridiculous exaggeration of the rigors of our beautiful winters is looked upon as highly mischievous, becau: tends to check emigration to a country which he represents in so unfavorabie a light. In politica he of course finds some sup orters, but theso are few ; for those who approve the extreme doctrines upon which he based. his adminis- tration are 9s much behind the age in Canada as politi. cians of Lord Castleresgh’s school would now be in Englend. it is also quite plain that the ex-Governor’s memory hes played him some tredchorous tricks. His account of the affsir with the rebels at Toronto is thought to present the sithor with much more promi- nence then the facts would warrant ; the stor Bidwell, by which the influence of the British of Mr. jag is 20 happily illustrated, is @eclured to be very inaccurate ; and nob 'y in Canada can ‘ell from whence the quota- xtracted in which Lord Motcalfe is made to e openly, “That the union of the Canadas was a fatal measuro, and that responsible government was an impracticable theory.” Lord Metealfe’s enemies certain ly aseor: that he was the secret opponent of responsible government ; but all his public declarations give the lie direct to Sir Francis’s statement. It would reflect little credit on the character of the depsrted statesman if he could be shown to be guilty of such mean dissimulation as thal of which he is charged in the Emigrent. The pretended quotation isa foul libel on a good and great men. Political parties seem likely to undergo some changer; allkinds of rumors ere abroad, but nothing certain is known.

A very strong case of circumstantial evidence was made out against him, but at a late hour on the night of the 12th inst. the jury had not agreed upon a verdict.

It may perhaps interest some of our readers to seo what prepartions were made by Gen. Patterson to res- cue the volunteers. Woe copy from tho Sentinel: Gen Patterson, upon learning of the wreck of the On. diaka, immediately despatched sixty pack mules, five days provisions, fifteen saddle horses for the sick, and forty men to act as an escort and to assist the Louisiani- ans in maintaining their position in case of attack. This force was sent under Lieut. Miller. The next day a com- pany of artillery, under Capt. Magruder, with one six- pound gun and additional supplies of provisions, ammu- nition, flints, etc, were sent in the same direction, and the schooner Plla,a vory light draft vessel and well adapted to the coasting trade, was put in requisition, Midshipman M.

The number of laborers had increased from 30,136 in September, to 440,687 in Decera- ber. Last week they were 459,000; and he did not doubt that, atthe present time, they were upwards of halt a million, (Hi hear) It was calculated that four or five persons gained subsistence for every laborer thus omployed, making the total number supported by this plan upwards of 2,000,000. (Hear, hear) The expense in December was £485,000, and for the first three weeks of Jannary it was calculated at betwoen £700,000 and £300,000, Many evils had necessarily arisen out of this 19 compulsory substitute of task work, jorers receiving government pay were afterwards men found that on task work they could earn double or treble the wages they had been accustomed to receive, and the result was that | there was @ strong competition to obtain employment upon the public works, and farmers found a ‘dithculty in procuring labor to till their land at any sum—nay, many of the farmers themselves who held twenty, thirty, fifty, and even sixty-eight acres of land, removed their sone and laborers from their usual occupation of till to place them upon these public works. (Hear, hear.) The evils of this system were so many and so great, and the want of food and consequent dissatisfaction had'so much increased, that government had now come to the con- clusion that it was desirable to attempt some temporary schome by which some of these evils might be mitigat- ed, and with so vast an expenditure of money mere re- liet ae be administered.

He should not have felt it necessary to make the declaration so emphatically, had it not been for a paper put forth by the Marquis of Sligo, urging his countrymen to demand from Parliament that they should take steps to secure an immediate and cheap supply of food. He was surprised that any man of education could have imagined that it was in the power of any govern- ment to turn famine into plenty. It was impossible. The uimost they could do was to alloviate the calamity.— (Hear, hear.) At Castlebar there were only one hua- dred and thirty inmates in a workhouse capable of con- taining six hundred, the reasou b the non-collec- tion of rates; and it certainly surprised him to wit- ness such a tendency to vague and visionary plans, while the easy and pra ible duty of paying rates for the support of the poor was neglected. The inter- foronce of Government to alle distress might be made inthis way. Assistance might be granted to pro- Prietors by loans for the improvement of preperty—by public works—by enacting that relief should be given to the destitute by law. These throe mo les should be kept separate. In advancing to proprietors, security should be taken that such advances should bo applied to the purposes for which they were granted. Such security was taken by the laws passed in tho last se and by the Drainage Act more particularly. ‘They proposed to take the terms proposed in the Drainage Act, for making advances, and to extend itto other improvements, doin, away with the technical difficulties which obstructed the operation of that act, allowing proprietors to borrow money at 334 per cent., to be repaid in 22 yet making an allowance fer repayment if such repayment shoul. take place earlier. ‘This would be better thaa combining such a plan with any plan for the relief of the poor— They also proposed to consolidate and improve the Drainage Acts, to undertake by the State the reclamation ortion of the waste lands of Ireland. They pro- 10 devote £1,000,000 to this purposo—that if the roprietor chose to part with it he might sell it, but that if he refused to sell or improve there should be a com- ulsory power of takizg land by the Commissioners of Wood! and Forests, when its value ‘was be ed an acre. It was proposed that it should be rally re: claimed, roads be made, buildings erected, and divided into lots of from 26 to 6@ acres, and either let to a tenant for a number of years, or sold; but they did not intend to undertake by that grant the task of cultivation. He anti- cipated great advantage from the location of t! tenantry from other preperties on these holdin, thought it would be a nuclot of small independent proprie He also proposed to bring ina relief of the destitute poor of Ireland, empowering the uardians to give relief eithsr in or out of the work: fouse, at their discretion, to the infirm poor, and to all those who are permanently disqualified from earning their li iving the guardians it own hom ouse wasfull he proposed to ths Poor Law Commissioners power to give leave to the guardians to give relief to the ablebodied poor out of the workhouse, relief to be given in food only.

Such wore the measures for the relief of Ireland which he proposed immodiately to introduce.
