Progress of Revolutwon— Proceedings of Partial The pent up feelings of years are now finding vent. h England has shown, and the noglect she has manifested, for the best interests of her North American Colonies, have at length roused the long dormant feelings of a too trustful people. Men’s minds have undergone a change—they have now become convinced that would they prosper and advance in the same degree in the seale of Civilization as the rest of the New World, they must look to their own intereste—they must de- mand and enforce their rights. Surely the hand of destiny appears in the present state of England's colonies. The star of Great Britain's power would appear to pale before the more powerful rays of some rising luminary. ‘Turn your eyes where you will, to the colonies of the boasted Empire, “ oa which the sun never sets,” and you will see disaf- Ceylon, and Canada— hese possessions, has the in others, the ach is heard. The parent is growing old—the child is gaining greater strength, The apathy w! ion. India, Jammie already, in some of gt tandard of rebellion be muttering of its ap nm raised with advancing years. All this portends that in a jort tine the stars and stripes will be the douu- nant flag over the whole of the New World. . For the last few years, the business of these pro- vinees has been frightfully retrograding. The eom- mercial distress and the almost universal Sephrest cy which has prevailed, is without parallel in ~ nial history. Every one is impressed—even the most careless and indifferent the actaal neces- sity of some immediate steps being taken to resus- eitate the trade of the country, At this be ano ment when it was thought that the Lmperial and Provincial Parliaments would be taking the dis- tressed state of affairs into their serious consdera- tion, it is announced that the first intends depriv- us of all protection ; and the other attempts to ii saddle ourselves and our children with an enor mous debt for the most nefarious of purposes, It is not to be wondered at, seeing this, that the blood of avery colonist, throughout the length and breadth of the Canadas. should boil within his veins at this apenas tyranny. There are a few (but a mi- serable aay of ultra tories), who would desire to see the English flag remain supreme over Canadas, and would seek to accomplish their ob- ject by a“ federal union of all the British North American provinces.’, The mass of the people iook in another direction for an antidote to their mistor- cate resets to be ae i: pom Pe ivamages would be gained that could possi desired. Ihave had shown to me by one of our leading and most influential merchants, a statement of the eminent benefits to be derived from such a connexion. He says our canals now luce $200,- 000 per annum. Were we a State of the Union, at would be but natural to supdose we should obtain an immense amount of the carrying .tuade of the West; and that the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and @ ferios of New York, containing a larger popu- lation than both of the Canadian provinces, would draw their supplies through this source. The re- venue in such a case, to be derived from these canals, might be safely estimated for the first year at $1,400,000, and in the course of two years reach 3,000,000. The contemplated Caughna- waga canal would, of course, be made. The ad- vantages of having a market for our lumber and eneral produce, would be very great. Last year, $626,000 worth of lumber, was exported to the States. The increase in this article would be im- mense. iat To the Montrealers, such a connection is of the most paramount importance. The present metro- polis of the Canadas would become the great em- porium of the North, and rise to a pitch of prospe- tity which almost dazzles her merchants to think of. In the House of Assembly last Thursday, Mr. Christie, member for Gaspi, generally a modest and unassuming myn, in the course of some remarks. en a bill to. consolidate the laws, &c., dropped following rather ominous warning, for the bene- fave the migistry — : "Phe whele tendency of their measures had been to- wards revolution. He would move amendments when sn committee. Mr. Barowin said the hon. gentlemen had forgotten the rebellion losses from his enumeration. (Laughter izom the ministerial side.) Mr. Cunistix said it had been called a farce, the other evening. It was a farce that might end in o tragedy, if the Governor gave his assent to the bill, Mr. Canerox—Would you assassinate him * Mr. Cnnistie spurned the idea, and could not with- hold his contempt from the minister who dared to use euch an expression. It was a farce that might bring ona rebellion more sanguinary than that of 1837 and 1838. Mr. Lafontaine, I understood to say, had noted well the words of the hon. member for Gaspe, and declared he would do all he could to maintain the public peace. Sir Allan McNabb moved for an address to the Governsr General for copes: of the petitions against the payment of the “rebellion losses.” The mi- nistry opposed the motion, on the paltry ground of expense of printing; and, upon being told the conservatives would defray it, changed their tack, and pleaded the useleseness of it. The motion was of course lost. Such a display ae cowardice is unexampled. This continually keep- ing of the rebel Josses before the Parliament and country, is an excellent idea of the conservative members. é iS 3 Friday last being a holiday, both houses adjourn- ed, on ‘Thursday eyening, to Saturday last, when Mr. Hincks introduced his bill remodelling the tariff. Long and tedious debate followed, which I will send you abridged and condensed in my next letter. Mr. Hincks also stated his intention to move, on Wednesday next, a series of resolutions, anting provincial security for the payment of the interest in the etocks of certain railroads, especially , the Quebec and Halifax one. (Loud cheers.) The Gaspe Gazette contains a call for a public J mecting, to protest against the rebel payment mea- sure, which begins thus Attention !—A ministry that has refused to grant our destitute neighbors any relief, has had the hardi- hood to require that we should remunerate the rebols for their rebellion in Lower Canada. Loyalists of Gaspe, will you consent to tax yourselves and your children to pay traitors—to reward treason ! The report of the Montreal Board of Trade, for the year ending 31st of March, 1849, has been pub- lished. _ It is principally remarkable for the tone in which Jit deprecates ‘the policy ee by the mother country towards these colonies. On the failure of the usury laws, it has the following:— ‘The usury laws having occupied the attention of @ preceding council, (1846.) whose expressed views upon the subject were entirely approved of by the members of the board; and your council, knowing that the ques- tion was to be introduced into Parliament this session, did not deem it necessary toadd anything to the able epresentation of their predecesssors; they would, therefore, merely remark, that, in thelr opinion, the failure of the measure for the {amendment of these laws, brought into the Legislative Assembly by the Hon. Henry Sherwood. is much to be regretted. At the same time Your council recommend to their successors that the Subject should not be lost sight of nor abandoned, it being one of the most important to which their at- tention can be directed. |, a lt. was rumored in this city lately that the mili- tary force at present in Canada was to be aug- mented by several regiments.

Bow: Turatax.—After giving the publiea perieg of most splendid and admirably got up dramatic spee- tacles, for the last month or two, the manager of thig house has reverted to the higher walks of the drama again, and purposes producing a series of plays in the highest style of excellence; and as he has engaged those favorites, Mr. and Mra. J. W. Wallack, Jr., for a limited number of nights, what with them and the excellent stock company, the entertainments will no doubt be most admirabl y performed. It ix now some inoe Mr, and Mrs, played at the Bowery; but who does not remember what triumphs they achieved there in years gone by? Mr, Wallack has established for him- self a name aud reputation as an actor of the first mak and Mrs. Wallack is acknowledged by all to be one the leading actresses of the day.

Signor Neri’s beautiful ballet of “Les Jurdinieres” will also be performed; and Ciocea, Neri, and Smith, supported by a capable corps de ballet, will appear in it. ‘Phe very successful new piece of the « Power of Gold,”’ will conclude the perforinanees, thus forming @ mort attractive Dill. Tho house no doubt will be crowded. Bxoapwar Tratax.—Two nights more, and the ‘ Enchantross”” will retire from this stage, after having held it with uncqualled splendor and pomp for the last three weeks, To the manager tho public is largely ine debted for his succossful efforts to gratity their wishes; and we hope that the treasury, that most. particularly, and indeed, vitally important department, has been enriched. When’ he deeided upon Produeing this operatic apectacle on such # scale of unlimited magnifi- cence, he must have entertained a pretty high opinion of the liberality of the patrons of this elegant theatre, We did opine that he did not make his calculations without his host, or in other words, that the results have justified his expectations. One thing is very cer- tain—that the lovers of music and song have hadahigh treat, of which we ourselves have largely partaken. On Wednesday evening next Mr. Hackett will make his first appearance in his celebrated character of Sir John Falstaff, This gentleman isa very popular performer, and we have no doubt that he will draw. After this engagement shall have been concluded, we understand that o highly distinguished but not an eminent tages dian, will make his appearance on these boards. shall be very glad to learn that our information is tru: as the productions of the great poet of nature have our undivided regard, esteem, and admiration, The plays of Shakspeare are the Corinthian pillars of the stage. It seems to us that they were created for each other, Fun, and humor, and burlesque, are very well in their way; but we like to see the “Bard of Avon,” with all the moral grandeur of his sentiments, the loftiness and richness of his intellect, and his imperishable maxima of philosphy and charity, represented by the learning nd acomplishments of an actor who, understanding Shakepeare, can do justice to the creation of his pro- found and incomparable mind. Tho public may ex- peet to see at this theatre ono who ean do this, Narigxat Tueatne.—We find a capital bill vet forth for this evening at this house, as no less than four pieces are announced—two of them entirely new ones; the never failing “Mose, and his journey to California,” and the farce of “Who Speaks First?” The two new pieces are “Cocknies in Californin,” and the “Dream of Life.’ The first one is a farce, the title of which tells much of its plot, we presume. We have scen it spoken very highly of in the London papers, as being @ most ludicrous affair, showing the adventures that befel cer- tain adventurous Cocknies in California. ‘The “Dream Life” is a drama of most intense interest, and hes been got up, we hear, with all that care and excellence which so distinguish wll the doings at the National, All the «cenery is new, and the various characters in it ure to be played by the prominent mombers of the ex- cellent company of the National. Miss Carline will dance several times during the evening, and the ainus- ing farce of “Who Speake First!’ will conclude the en- tertuinments. With such a bill, the house will be as crowded as usual. ° Bunvon’s Tuxatnr.—This evening will this celebrated temple of fan, humor, wit talent, Poole’s comedy, in three acta, ealled “Paul Pry.?? The principal character will be sustained by Barton himself, who is a host in himself. Mr. Lynne will do the part of Col. Hardy; and Mr, Raymond that of Frank Finrdy The cast is a capital one—superior to that of any other establishment in the Univu. Then will fol- low the new original eatirical drama callod ‘Socialism,’ which has been played during tho past week before crowded audiences, and received with unmistakable marks of pleasure and autiafaction; and whon it is ro- membered that these said marks of approbation have come from, shrewd and judicious persons, they are, om that account, most considerably enhanced in yulue.— This epplause may be regarded asa condemnation of the miserable utoplaniam and criminal folly with whieh socialism is fraught; and we are inclined to think that Mr. Burton deserves to be ranked asa public benefactor for baring done so much towards extinguishing the hopes of the modern philosophers. Brougham’s delinoa- tion of the self-eufficient, puffed up, and craek-brained advocate of and dictatorial lecturer upon Fourierism, or, more properly speaking, of Nooleisin, is strikingly accurate, He is “to the manor born; the “dientical’ man, us Burton says in Dombey, A better mode of ex- poring the fallacy and the absurdity of socialism —t! bobby of those who are on the best terms with them- relvex—could not have been adopted; and to Mr.Burton, the credit is due. We should like to hear that social- itm is to be represented in its true colors on every stage, from the Penobscot to the Pacifie—from the Hudson to the Sacramento, and from the Thamos to the Ganges. ‘The very definition which is given of it, is at onee aug. gestive of its baneful tondeney. It is “univ alee, in everything—as no one is allowed to do anything for himeelf, nothing is doue by anybody.” “Socialism,” w predict, will have along run bere.
