This is aprivilcgo and boon enjoyed by no other tenautry'in any other Colony; yet, so infatuated and qoungrateful are they, that at the last election, the Hon. J. fiMactIouald, who introduced the measure, was accused as though be bad ~committcd some grievous crime; It was called one of the most ’3 4‘ “ ‘l‘ * " it Iiills that ever passed into a law; surely, then, those who thus designate a Bill of 'luch advantage to their own interest must have forsook their, reasoning faculties. What must be thought ot'sm-h 'cenduct, or how are they to be satisfied? Is it reasonable towppose that we shall legislate to the injury ofthe Tenant, While We ourselves are a'liuk ofthe same chain? Their inte- se'It‘is ours‘also, and iftliey will keep quiet, they will find to their advantage that we shall respond to their cry ofdis- Weight using our utmost eddeavonrs to relieve them. The hbut'Vmembcr (Mr. Rae) has stated, that if we were nearer to the” United States we should receive different answers addresses front the Home Government, but that is' ' " 2m speculative reasuttiu". Have we not done all that in , ' Inlay? Have we not” applied to the House 0] Commons, h k, . and likewise to the House of Lords, and what cfi'ect bad it, though the majority was eighteen to six at that time? Why should I oppose the hon. members? Ifthe‘y obtained their ends, should not I, in common with others, reap an advan— tage? But, Sir, it is notjust, and thus I oppdse it; it has been a in and again refused, and thus my aid shall lie with- - bold. ' tis not usual in other places to introduce, time after ‘ time, the same question ; for though it he disguised, the substance and principle are the same; there can be no doubt it is intended to be such, attd thus I will endeavour to put an end to it, by moving that the Speaker take the Chair. -Illr. Longworth said, he was completely tired out with {lier old-and impracticable questions. Of-what use is it? ,Shppqsing this resolution was carried, can any, the least be men: be, derived by the Colony? But such cannot happen ; Ito'mcasure could be founded on it whereby good could arise; By} this wastiot in reality expected, even by the in- ratimmrs It was mereiyan endeavour to bolster up a decay- ing popularity. 1 have, Sir, heretofore stated in my place that! would oppose any measure having the tendency of disarrnnging the tenure of Lands in this Colony, and thought if hon. members were equally explicit, it would soon bring to a close the agitation ofsuch wild and imprac- ‘tieable schemes as the one now beforeus is intended, though vainly, to accomplish. Do not the refusals of the Home Government become more attd more strong and determined ’ every Session? Is it not plain ,llten that the time of the , > House" is most shamefully sacrificed _? The tenantry ought lobe ttlndeceived; then would they turn their attention to ’11 :0th interest, throw aside the bad advice oftlieir de- vers, and by steady industry, with the benefit of all that Two can possibly do for tltem, reap their just reward. l'w‘ili not, Sir, take up the time of the House in going into lite rigmatole stufl'ofthc hon. nieinber(Mr. Cooper), but cott- ,tent myselfwith Stating, that it is most sickening t‘o be, ob- liged to listen to him ;, there is not in the whole of the hon. member’s essays the least particle of fresh matter ; it is sim- JII Esclteut, and nothing but Escheat; and he would lain _‘ ta 0 upon himself the prerogative ofthe Crown, so insatia- ble is'the hon. member to effect an utterly useless measure; he would wish to sce‘his own peculiar views oftltc law be- tween, landlord and tenant carried into effect, without leave or license from proper authority.

This is truly deplov rable. .I believe itt tny heart, Sir, that it is utterly out'oftlteir power to do so; they cannot meet such demands. Thus, than, it being an impossibility, it cannot be otherwise than unjust; and how distressing is it to witness this state of things, after many ofthcm have spent the best oftheir days in sitbduing the forest, and in a fruitless endeavour to avert the evil. I verily believe, Sir, that the hon. member who moved this resolution possesses the best of motives ; yet, as 1 before stated, I have but very little hope ofits usefulness :to remedy the present‘distress; nor will _ I disguise my feel- tngs, or refrain from stating, that there is but little hope of a remedy during the continuance of the present House, as now constituted. ‘ ' Mr. Douse called upon the hon. metttber name when and whatlunt's were liable to Court would do that,” said Mr. .hon, member) driven to attr keep up agitation, and so opinion with the hon.

Rae then moved that the Speaker take the chair, ' and that the Chair- man ask leave _to sit again, which was agreed to. On the followingiday, the House, on motion of Mr. Rae, again resolved itselfinto a Committee of the whole on this question. A short debate ensued. The excitement of the previous evening appeared to have wholly, subsided. The Speaker made a powerful appeal. to the feelings of hon. members, as to whetlterit would ttot be advisable to close the debate; he said a prolongation of the discussion would I only tend to create ill-feeling, both within and without the illouse ; Its also declared, that, excepting in this instance, he - considered the mover ofthe resolution (Mr. Rae)ns an open ‘ and candid political enemy. / Mr._Dalziel thought that enough had been said we had,ip-.one way and another, been on the state ofthe Co- Iot‘jy for,» greatpart of the Session.

The subyectois worthy ol'cxperiuient, and we trust that its importance \VIII Itot be lost sight of by the farmers generally. The quantity of lime to be applied to the land must, of course, be proportioned to the qu tluy ofthe lime, as well as to the nature and condition ofthe soil; the operation must be ill a. great degree governed by the expense and the pro- bability ofthe innuediate and future profits. A less quantity than 2b bushels per acre would scarcely be perceptible, and in many instances, 200 bushels per acre would be found to remunerate the expense, and leave a handsome profit over and above. The only lands in Canada that would require that quantity are such as do'not at present produce sufficient to make it worth the attention ofau enterprising intelligent titan to cultivate tltem,’ supposing the lands cost him nothing. ,A tract of country in the Niagara district, in the neighbour- hood omeithvillc, is of ilie above description, and although limestone is abundant, and wood may be had ibr clmpping and drawing, sti’l ,l o regard is paid to the renovating ofthe soil by means with which an ALL-WISE PROVIDENCE has so bountifully blessed them.

Be industrious—We do not mean ltere the industry of the hands alone; but that perseverance in whatever we under- take that is the sttre precursor of ultimate success. Never allow the tnind or the body to slngnalfl; activity is neces- sary to the health of both. Always have some worthy end in view, Ill whatever you undertake; remembering that, to fail with good intentions is more honorable than success in an evil cause. Cullivate your mini—It is of more in'iporta’nce to the young that their reading should be select, rather than ex— tensive. One volume well understood, on any important topic, is better than ltalfa dozen mcrcly skimmed. There are many subjects of general utility, with which every man sltould have a partial knowledge at least, but It is one of the great faults of modern education to spend too much time on studies that . rather burden and clog the mind than strengthen and inlortn it for life’s practical duties. Reading or studying without some definite aim is likely to lead to few useful results. Ilow many men there are who have spent a large part oftheir lives over books, of whom it- may be said, “tlteyp‘t‘mnetrdtcr amass ofthings, but nothing distinctly.” It is possible to cram the tnind with masses ot'indigestible materials, destructive altke to a healthy attd a vigorous action of the Intellectual yowers. Be econo‘miml.—No matter ifyour parents are worth mil-t lions, it is not the less proper that you should understand the value of money, and the hottest, honorable means ofacquir- ing it. What multitudes ofyoung men utake lhtal shipwreck of reputation, health, and eventuallny property, bv a neglect ofthis simple maxim! ‘They are aware that their fathers obtained their wealth by habits of industry, but they are ashamed ofthe very name.’ They forget that wealth in this country passes rapidly from one to another, and that he who is rich today may be poor to-morrow; or that lie who relies on wealth amassed by'ltis father, may end bin-days in a poor house.

On the 13th February Lord John Russell introduced his motion, “that the house resolve itself into a Committee on the state oflrelaud.” Mr. VVyse and Sir.‘ James Graham spoke on that evening. On the Hill the speakers were, Lord Leveson, Mr. ll. Cochraue, Lord Clement, Mr. Young, Sir George Gray and Lord Elliot. The tullowing eventing brought out Mr. Ross, Mr. Burtbwirk, Sir. A. W. Barrow, Mr. G. W. chton, Mr. More O’Ferau, Mr. Shaw, and Lord lIowick. On the lfith the debate ofthat week Was closed by the following speakers taking pant—Capt. Hernel, Mr. II’Israeli, Mr. \Vard, Col. Conolly, Mr. Sergt. Murphy, Mr. ‘l‘lscott, Mr. Charles Buller and Lord Stanley. On Monday, the 19th ult., the adjourned debate was resumed by Mi‘. llorsntan, Mr. S. llerbert, Mr. Sntyth, Mr. J. O’Connell, Capt. Layard, Cul. Verney, Mr. Fcrrand, Sir C. Napier, Mr. Gore, Mr. J.

Buller, Mr. Lasccllcs, Mr. Giaborne, Mr. A. S. O’Brien and Sir Thomas Wilde. On the 21st. Mr. T. Ii. C. Smith, the Attorney General for Ireland, had the evening to himself, and made an able speech on the general question, as well as in his own defence. The 22d Feb; brought up, in reply, Mr. Maurice O’Connell, Mr. Gre- gory, Mr. Hollow, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Hume, Mr. G. A. Ilamilv ton, Mr. Caleb I’owell, Sir. II. Douglas attd Mr. Shiel. On the 23rd, thc interminable debate was brought to a close and the “great guns” spoke against time. The first speaker was Mr. Attorney General, who was followed by Mr. Roe- buck, Mr. O’Connell, Sir Robert I’eel, Mr. Roche and Lord John Russell. The house did Itot divide until four o’clock— whcn the result, as was anticipated, was a large nnqoritv in favour of ministers. There were 225 for and 324 availtst the motion. It is worthy of observation, as showitfir the purely party character ofthe diviston, that there was 5not a single seceder'from either side. The Hou.G. Suiythe Mr. Cochrane, Mr. D’Israeli and Capt. Rous, voted arrains’t Sir ll. Peel, to favor of Mr. Smith O’Brien.’s motion for an in~ qmry into the state of Ireland. 0n the present occasion those gentlemen went with their own party.
