Those who are curious to form an idea of what the trade of Canada Would be without the Timber Trade, may come to some conclusion from a knowledge of what it was from 1792 to 1802, inclusive. The population of the two Pro-

vinces was then about a fourth of what it is now, and by‘

multiplying the ships of the different years by four, they will have an approximation. I

Vessels in 1792, l13—114—1l7-—67—88—78—-—125——140— 178, and 189 in 1802.

The tonnage of each vessel was much smaller than at present; totals from 11,650 to 311,139. The sailors fro 615 to 1820. '

The only exports during the ten years were Furs, Casto- reum and Gensang, Fish and Oil. trade had long ceased, and timber had not been introduc as an export to Europe. estimated at about £300,000 annually, and the Revenue was about 20,000. The former isnow near two millions, and the latter about £250,000. The total number of vessels about m and the tonnage of each nearly double what it was from 1792 to 1802.— Quebec Gazette, June 7.

When the Hector left, the Governor of Sierra'Leone, Sir John Jeremie, was dangerous- ly ill.

the subject is even mentioned, occurs at that page of the Appendix to which we have alluded, and Lord Durham’s opinion upon the question is there conveyed in the followmg terms :—“ It appears, therefore, that the process of Escheat would, under the circumstances, be one of doubtful justice, and of very imperfect benefit. In many cases in which it could be employed, it would punish innocent individuals, and it could not be employed to an extent sufficient to pro- duce any public advantage. A tax upon wild lands, there- fore, appears to be the only measure left open to the Go- vernment tor the accomplishment of this most important object”—-(the settlement of the Lands.)——Gaz.

The Trinity Term of the Supreme Court for Queen’s County was opened at Charlottetown on Tuesday, the 29th ult., by the Hon. Robert Hodgson, Acting Chief Justice. In his charge to the Grand Jur , he adverted to the cause of his being temporarily appointed to the office, namely, the la- _mented absence of the ChiefJustice, through indisposition. He had much satisfaction in congratulating the Jury on the lightness ofthe Calendar, which contained, indeed, only one or two very trifling cases of larceny, a circumstance which he considered highly creditable to Queen’s County. He then addressed them at some length on the nature oftlieir duties, after which the Jury retired. The only case that has yet been decided is that of a person who was yesterday found guilty of stealing a well bucket.

On Wednesday evening last, a minimum and highly res- pectable party of the friends of Temperance sat down to tea in one of the rooms of the Central Academy, which had been kindly granted for the occasion. The arrangements were admirable, and reflected the highest credit on the ladies, who presided at the tables. '

After tea, a public meeting of the Society was held, when several Resolutions, accompanied by suitable addresses, Were passed ; some new names added to the list of members ; and upwards of£5 received from the ladies who conducted the tea, as a donation towards the funds of the Society.

On Thursday morning, the detachment ofthe 8th (King’s) Regiment, lelt Charlottetown, where they had been stationed for the last twelve months, in the Pocahontas steamer, for Pictou, thence to Halifax, accompanied by the good wishes of the inhabitants, whose esteem they merited by thei; uniforme correct and soldierly deportment in quarters. The officers accompanying the detachment were Captain Lpngfield, Lieutenant Mursden, and Dr. Blake.

A company of the 64th Regt. consisting of 83 rank and file, and two officers, commanded by Captain Draper, arrived here yesterday, to take the place of the 8th; also a Corporal and six men of the Royal Artillery.

to have lopped away the evil; against others of which 1

recorded my dissent. “Any thing else ?” Yes, some of which I may not treat, lest I might go too far, and incur the

censure oftlie House; and I am not practised in apology,

and don’t relish the idea of giving a fee to the Sergeant at

Arms. But, without any breach of privilege, I trust I may

say, that 1 do not pretend to be able to defend the length of

the sessions. That might, in a great measure, be attributed

to the management of the minority, and of the Council, but

was partly, it seemed, attributable to the House. On more

than once intiiiiating to the Speaker and some others my

intention to make a motion, relative to the delay occasioned

by the Council, be hooted at the idea, and said we must

never name the passing of time, or pretend to limit them, if they should take a month to one bill; and thus many, resting

on his authority, I would most certainly have been left in a

minority, had I made such motion, as l was on other occa-

sions, and very possibly have been denounced as a disturber of that good understanding which a Committee had been

appointed to preserve. As to personalities, if that be a neces-

sary ingredient in debate, I believe we had no deficiency of that article—and no wonder, if we should try our abilities

that way, for public bodies go greatly by precedents, and

we had innumerable precedents in former Houses. I cou— fess that my ignorance and inexperience led me to imagine, that such was not the most proper mode of silencing an opponent, and was something like an insult to the House; and when directed to myself, I had frequently appealed to the Speaker. He was Silent in the Chair, but told me after- wards that he could not take notice of anything, unless the words complained of were taken down; and as I had more than once made that motion and failed, I was convinced that my disrelish to such language must proceed from igno- rance, and that what I had supposed were rude persona- lities, were merely such expressions as were warranted by that decent license, and that liberal mode of debating prac- tised by well-educated and well-bred men in popular assemblies, and I have understood was liberally used in the House of Lords, during the discussions on the Reform Bill. Accordingly, following this new idea, I endeavoured to return such compliments, and having able tutors, I have understood that I shewed no contemptible proficiency. Other causes also occurred, to lengthen the Session; but I will not dilate on these, during the existence of this House —I trust, as Sancho said, “ that every man will be the son of his own works.”

“ But let the works of the Council speak for themselves.” Not so; let something else speak also, for they are porcelain, and we are but common earthenware. Well, let them shew the escutcheons of their families for the last two hundred years. Won’t that small favour be granted? Well, then, how many have lost fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, in battle against the enemies of the Empire? VVon’t that be answered? Some of the House of Assembly have had that high privilege. Well, then, away with this afi'ectation. Every man of sense will allow a decent measure of prece- dence to that body; but that assumption which expresses itself in wrathful contempt, because it has not been suffi- ciently worshipped, may excite different feelings in different minds, but I don’t think will increase respect. “ What inso- lence,” says one—“ I am worth ten thousand, and I question if the House of Assembly be all overhead worth five hundred a piece.” Will that brag go all round ? “ But they are, what are they not-a band of popular .” Well, be it so—good reader, turn to the character of Sir Piercy Shelton. Now to their works—let their Journals speak—get them. You may there see, that during the sessions of 1,839 and 1840, there were fourteen days whereon the Legislative Council performed the weighty business of meeting, hear— ing the reading over of the Journals of the preceding day, and then adjourning; and thirty-six days wherein they did not enter on business, for want of a quol'um. And during that part ofialast session which extends from the 26th January till the 6th April, there were seventeen days where- in they did not enter on business, for want of a quorum. “Butthe had nothing to do,” you says “.tbcuficdsto Walt W douse.” You are mistaken. On” "may (if these days there was important business on their table, sent_up by the House of Assembly. This also is worthy of notice,
