As the present o-trrtrnctor was willing to give up his contract. there was no rtittocn wh the House should hesitate to act; and he would therefore move a Resolution, with the

«view of putting an end to the discussion

The bcn.ortd learned gentleman then submitted u .

Had! been in the House. I would cer- tainly lnive voted against both the grants; for I out Iltogotlier op pond to the policy of granting bounties to Packets. fife Pttcket be‘ required for the accom- rttodtititiit and service of the_ trading and travelling portion ofilte somtnntfity. it'_will pity without a pub- lic grant; and, lf.‘not‘required for such purposes, it

Mr. Ccanx —1le was in favor of an nlterttticn; but he was. nevertheless, persuaded tltttt the grant of last year lind been productive of much public benefit. He would go to lower the grant, perhaps to £30. A grant would corttiittl be necessary, in order that, with a view to the protnotion of the public interests and convenience, and the conveyance of Mails, the Government tniglit have it in their power to regulate. in some measure, the ticcoininodtttions, fares, and tiitttta ofsuiliit of the Pttcket.-—Sc-ma remurks,which had been made concerning the su posed ntotives of the petitioners, might, he thought, very well have been spared. Many of the petitioners were very respectable men; and, although it wee possible they might have been influenced by wrong impressions, there could be no juttt grounds for supposing them to

ve been actuated by spite or malice.
