FRIDA Y, February 20%.

The Bill for extending the jurisdiction of the Small Debt Com- missioners to sums not exceeding Ten Pounds, was read a. second time and committed.

In the Committee one or two clauses were gone through, after encountering considerable opposition from Mr. Palmer, Mr. Gormnii, Mr. Lc Luchcur, and some other members. A motion for the Speaker to take the Chair, and the Committee to rise withot reporting—and which if carried. would have thrown the Bill out—was negatived. 10 to 7. ' Ultimately the Committee rose, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit a run. .

gThc Bill to continue and amend the Act for regulating the measurement of Tort Timber, Boards, doc, was agreed to, and ordered to be engrossed.

A somewhat warm discussion took place on rt motion made by Mr. Thomson, for an Address to the Lieutenant Governor, ac-

itnintiug His Excrllcticy, us the Council had rejected the Bill, for charging ccrtziin rates for the use of tlic Stalls iii Charlotte— town Market House, towards del‘raying the expcncc of main- taining the same, that it was not the intention of this House to make any further provision for defraying the said expenses, or for the salary of a Market Clerk. TllC members generally seem-

ed to think that it would be time enough to express an opinion

on this subject when the Clcrk’s salary, or money to repair the

building, was asked for in Committee of supply. The motion was got rid of by another motion for the Orders of the day, which was carried, 16 to 3,—Messrs. Thomson, Fraser and Rae only voting for the Address.

CANADA.

Admiral of the same. ‘ SYDENHAM. A PROCLAMA’I'ION.

IN obedience to the Commands of the Queen 1 have this day asstnned the Government oftlie Province of Canada. Upper and Lower Canada, separated for fifty years, are once more re-ttnitcd, and henceforwurd will form but one Pro-

vince under one Administration.

On my arrival in Lower Canadal declared that one of the main objects ofmy Mission was, to put an and to the Suspension of the Constitution in that Province, and to restore to its inhabitants the ftill benefit ofBritisli Institutions. Thnt object is accomplished. By the Imperial Act which fixes the Union, representative Government is again estab- “shed, and that control by the People over their own affairs, which is deemed the highest privilege ofBritons, is once; more restored to them. The Act which provides for this, ufiixcs certain conditions to the grant, Over which the Provincial Legislature can exercise no authority; while it lpnves to the final arbitration of that Legislature all ques- tions but those which the Imperial Parliament in its wisdom lins deemed essential itself to determine—the Lettislative Rc-tinion—tlie establishment of a secure and firm atdminis- trutiou of Government—and the maintenance of the due relations of Colony and Parent State. Efforts have been v scdttlously' made to deceive the tummy,

ofour follow subjects of the French paint—to represent these Provisions as them its susceptible ofchange here—and to excite

the Inhabitants of -’Lower §Ctuludn, o.‘ to use the power which is now again hands as to justify the truth which our Imperial Parliament have rcposed in th jom in an endeavour to promote the co United Province.
