We have ' orexjtfl the parlihmentary papers relating to the ",Clergy Reserves in Canada ;” and have been surprised at the progress made by the heads of the " Protestant Clergy” of the colony, in the lessons taught by the heads of the Protestant Clergy of England and Ireland in the proper ap- propriation of “ the property of the church.” Accmdingtothe printed returns, from the Cler- gy Reserves there was paid to eight individuals (seven of them clergymen, and the eighth em- ployed in matters relating to the church.) in seven years, viz., 1824—30,‘the sum of £4,303 3s. 2.}(1. ; and ofthis sum there was paid to the Rev. Dr. Stracban, now Bishop of Toronto, “ in addition to his stipend as minisfcr of York,” the sum of £2,828 7s. 8d., in the following yearly proportions :—

In addition» Iowthis sum, amountingio Remy two-thirds of the entire amount, this Protestant dignitary obtained 800 acres of land for the en- dowment of the rectory of Toronto, being 100 more thaii were-allotted to the Archdeaconry of Kingston. The“ large sum paid to the Bishop of Toronto (then Archdeacon of York) in 1823, was in consequence of his absence in England to oppose the sale of the “ reserves.” He was absent from his charge 18 months, but received his stipend, notwithstanding, as a matter of course, from the “ reserves fund,” in addition to the £678 63. 8d. named in the account of his receipts from that fund above given. As this sum is stated in the account to he only “,1 moie- ty,” we may conclude he received air equal sum from some other quarter. This christian bishop is now strenuously exerting himself in getting up petitions against the appropriation ofthe clergy reserves, or any portion of them, to any other church than his own. Certainly his efforts must be regarded as prompted by a livaly sense of be- nefits received, as well as by a cheering hope of benefits to come!

We have seen the opinion of Lord Ellenbo- rough, “ that it was utterly inconsistent with the idea of preserving the connection between this country and Canada, to attempt to preserve the ascendancy of the Established Church of Eng- land in that colony.” Lord Ashburton confirm- ed his opinion; and administered a rebuke to the Prelate ofExeter, which, ifhe be capable of feeling, he would the], and under it would quail “ 1f the right rev. prelate knew what the state of Canada and of America was—if he had but pass-

to the conclusion which he" (Lord Ashburton) had arrived at, that it would be as impossible to establish a dominant church there, at the ex- pense of Maharaereeds, as it would be to estab- lish it in the «mo. It was adverse to the habits,

and, in his opinion, quite impossible to be ef- fectet ." -

The Times—which claimed the honour of rousing public attention to this new attempt at church spoliation—now shrinks alarmed at the danger to which the champions of the High Church party are exposing the interests of the church and of the nation.

Scared by the noise of its own thunder, the Times this morning says—“ In the legal dispo- cal of the Clergy Reserves question in Upper 'Ca'tada there probably may not be much diffi- culty. In the practical disposal of it, we never shot our eyes to the fact, that great dissatisfac- tion might be continued ifit strictly and rigidly followed the interpretation of the law;” and goes on to talk of “ a healing inotion‘.”—VVe earnestly call on every friend of peace in the Colonies—on every lover of his country—and on all who wish to avert from it the melancholy consequences of kindling anew the fast-dying embers of discord in the Canadas, to iri- »terpose their offices to prevent the intolerance of the High Church party from effecting the mischiefs their blind policy would inflict upon the population ofthose provinces. The crisis in “the fate ofthe colony has arrived. Good or evil. life or death, hang on the decision of the British Parliament. The question is not merely whe- ther the Church of England shall engross the whole of the land appropriated to the support of the Protestant Clergy in. Canada, but whether Canada. shall continue a. portion of the, British

DEMERARA, March 4th.—The troop ship Sapph-V ire arrived here yesterday, with the head-quar- ters of Her Majesty’s 70th Regiment, which re- places the 76th, ordered to Barbadoes. The same vessel carries the head-quarters of the lat- ter Regiment to their destination. During the stay of this corps in British Guiana, it has pleased the Almighty to afflict it with a dreadful mortality. Seven officers and a host of non- commissioned officers and privates have fallen victims to that scourge of the West Indies, the Yellow fever ; in fact so frightful have its ravages been, that the Regiment is, at present, a mere skeleton. For a month or two the disease raged with fatal efl'ect,-——of late it has entirely disap- peared, and, we believe, there has not been a case in the hospital for some time. During the appalling period that its fury was at the greatest. height, the conduct of both oflicers and men was most praiseworthy. There was no grum- bling, no vinsubordination , and though circum- stances daily occurred, calculated to make a stout heart quail, yet there were observed throughout a steady discipline and meritorious lortitude,-becouiing the soldier and the man.— The causes ofthis ‘ endemic’ have puzzled the skill of most medical men, some attributing it to the swamps about the barrack—others to the cfliuvia arising from the decomposed vegetable matter, prevented from dispersion by't’he proteo-I, tion of the courida bush, along the line of coast —and many to the intemperate habits of the sol- dicrs themselves. The opinion that it was en- gendered by an inferior quality of food, has been opposed bv the factof many officers (accustomed to better fare than the privates,) having perished during its continuance. Whatever may have been the cause of the malaria, its effects will, at all events, be long remembered by the corps in which they have been so signally marked.

SJTURDJJ Y, JUNE ‘27, 1840.

The papers received by.thc Cape Breton. Steamer, which arrived from Pictou yesterday, announce the arrival of the Great Western at New York, on the 19th inst. with London papers to the evening of the 3d of June, and Bristol to the 41b, from which we collect the following articles of European intelligence ;---

The French have given another splendid les- son to the Arabs in Algeria, by a san'guinary defeat in one ofthcirstrongcst holds, the defiles of Teniah. As these defilcs were on the direct road to Medezih, the chief citv of Abdel Kadcr, he had taken care to fbrtify them by the assist- ance of the deserters from the French Army. An expedition of8000 men sent against Medeah, attacked Abdel Kader in his entrenchments, and after a murderous conflict, with a . loss of 1200 French, the redouth were all captured—- The French army then proceeded to Medeah, which they captured without a shot fired upon

when the cannon began to roar, and the whole population accompanied it:--‘-The French Princes distinguished themselves in this expedition, and were the first among the storming parties.

The sulphurvquestion, is iikely to take a turn far more unfavourable to Naples than his Neapo- litan majesty had reason to expect.-—-Hostilities have indeed been suspended on the part of Great Britain, the Sicilian ships captured have been restored, on the understanding that through the mediation of France matters are to be ami. ca‘bly settled, but it is quite understood that England would not put her interests into the hands ofa mediator without having previously ascertained the certainty of a favourable result; The King Wlll pay the cost of his folly by indem- nifying the English merchants in Sicily who have been virtually robbed by him; but this is not all. Sulphur mines have jumped into ex- istence in all directions, so that nothing short of a miracle will save Sicilian sulphur from being “ adrug” in the market. The Greek govern- ment have received proposals from a Liverpool

A French comp pany has just been established for the working of miiies in Tripod: 'The Island of, Dominica is crying “ buy of us,” and finally Eiiropean chemists have discovered a method ofextract- mg soda from common salt, without sulphuric acid, by which the. consumption of the crude material will be immensely diminished.

_ The failure ofthe Russian expedition to Khiva is supposed to have operated favourably in bring- ing about a reconciliation between the Shah of Persia and Great Britain. less hopes of support from Russia, after her recent humiliations, has renounced all intention of proceeding against Herat. Dost Mahomed the deposed monarch of Caboul, who fled into Bokara, in the’ hope of intriguing with Russia and the Tartar King, has been kept in custody by the latter, who offers to give him up to the English government "'on terms.” At all events, the advance of the Moscovite towards Caboul has received a check from which be will not easily recover.

The week commencing May 18th was devoted to the adjourned debate on Lord Stanley’s Irish registration bill, the motion being to go into committee on the bill. After long and able Speeches from Mr. O’Connell, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Morpt-tli and others, the motion prevailed

Tuesday, March QG.—In the House of Lords, Lord Brougham, in presenting a memorial from the Edinburgh “Corporation of Merchants," against the war with China, made the following remarks: ',

‘f My Lords; 'Wiihout at present declaring any opinion on the justice or injustice-of the war with China, this I would venture to say-—that l have the great majority of the people of this country with me, and your Lordships will concur in the prayer, that this war may not be found to have originated in a desire to obtain compensa- tion for the opium-wand that such may not only be found not to have been the purpose ofthe war_ but may not he made the reproach against its success—40 that it may not be said, as was said by a historian of the wars of Henry VII., that they arose from the thirst oftreasure—-that they resembled a mine, with iron at the top and gold at the bottom." .

The Archbishop of Canterbury presented a petition, signed by clergynieii and others, for a change in certain portions of the articles and liturgy of the established church. He. said he did not concur in the prayer of the petition, hold- ing that the Legislature had no right to interfere with the spiritualitiesofihe church. Several of the Bishops expressed their sentiments on the matter—some almost admitting that part of the articles are objectionable, and others denying it in tato. All ttgreed, however, that the quesiton how any alteration is to be effected is one of ex- cealiiig difficulty. A convention was spoken of, but the suggestion seemed to meet with little favotir._T|ie etition was laid on the table, and IhFHouse @6711ch without‘do‘ing any other business. '

In the Commons, Mr. Villiers again offered his iiiotion for the repeal ofthe corn laivs. The Spectator says that “ a mob of members met to raise a clamonr against the motion, and succeed- ed iii preventing discussion. ~ Noise and tumult prevailed during part of the session, and several members rose, and resumed their seatsgwithout being able to gain a hearing. The' latided gen- tlemen were strong in numbers as in lungs; and a majority of300 to 177 recorded their determi- tion to maintain the grievance.”

Lord J. Russell gave notice 'that he would move for leave to bring in a bill for the appro- priation, as we understand, of the revenues of Upper and Lower Canada.

Friday, May 29.—Lord J. Russell moved the order ofthe day for going into committee on the-Canadian government bill——(the union bill.)

Mr. Goulburn presented a petition, with 39,- 000 signers, against the union——-from Lower Ca- nada. ' “

Mr. Parkington moved that the House resolve itself into committee that day six months——equi- valent to a negation ofthe bill. He supported his motion in a long speech, going over the whole ground of the rebellious, the bad govern- ment of the-Canadas, Lord Durham’s adminis- tration and report, 6w. (Scc.

His motion was negatived without a division, and the house wentinto committee on 'the bille— Mr. C. Bullet supported it in a long and power- liil speech.

The different clauses were agreed to, some with and some without discussion, the majorities being very large when the question was taken--- .amLLhB bill “ordered. to be reported on Mon- day, .Iune .I‘; u
