Hon. Mr. PALIIII took his. insttho Bill on the ground that it would give s pxicsl ascend- ancy to men deslilute of properly over those wboEs- it. He that more could h‘e no s'y‘riipa“-" thy, on many bls occasions. on the part of ihe format with the laiisr-of the espropsmsd with ihe propsrtied classes: as would, for indaocu, in all like. ihood be seen, he said. if the ' ,—when it should become necessary to make a further provision. by increased taxation. for e support as education system. Then, he apprehended. the uls- properlicd classes, be’ a majority of the electors, would vote for no csullldatas but those who would pledge themselves thal any increase of taxation should not ll ripen them, but upon the opsrllsd portion of the community. He was h’: from arguing or ' that tbeamsaet, sis of a mau‘sinle1|i- gence, or of his honesty and independence, was to be satin by the amount of his worldl goods, or the sx_tsut of his worldl ' us; but he mailaiusd, wilboul fear of contradiction, that llio man of no properly could not, in cases of taxation of pro- ps ted to have any sympathy with lbs poesessere o property. in conclusion. he said.be would give the Bill is best consideration, with a view to making it a more uilablc measure than it then u poured to be; prov’ ed the or’ inalors of the measure would agree to a registration o voters, which could veryueaaily be ctectcd; and without which lbsrc could be I. vsr feeble guarantees adbrdsd for the honest working the measure: but if they refused lo accede to that proposal, he would interfere no further wiyli the measure, and merely record his vote against it. . M_r. Haviuasrn opposed the Bill. His chief ob- jection lo the measure appeared to be, that it would put strangers upon an equal political footing with natives He confessed that he was, and always had been, so narrow-minded as to desire loses the control of our public affairs placed in the hands of men who wees natives of the soil. lle ughl it was very un- just indeed that men, who in’ bi be compared to mi- ‘rds, men who mere y came to try the coun- lry, should, alter a brief residence, have extended to them the ssnis rivilcgss as those e "eyed by natives. He would not a jecl to such men rliaving a passing ‘ power with respect to lbs uisrs passing measures of the day, iflo such measures it could be confined; but what heo posed was their havi a power lo influ- ence legis alien, which might not only bind the pre- ssul generation of natives, but materially affect the interests of lhsir lntssl posterity. Strangers could not become fully acquainted with the state of the people. lbs resources of l Colon , the dependence of one class upon another. or, in act, any of our social rela- tions, unless after having been resident in the Island for a period of four or live years, at the least; and, until then, no stranger should be permitted to have a voice in our Island islalion, or any share in the management of public affairs. Such a privilege was not extended to strangers in any other portion of the British domiuions—no, nor at any where else. Mr. Mooirur ridiculed Longworih‘s dread of the _evils which he fancied would result from the ex- tension of the elective franchise to domestic servants; and earnestly declared his own opinion that there was not, in any community, a more eslimabls member, than a faithful domestic servant. nor one more worthy ofunjoying the esteem and c sues ofa maslor, or butter entitled to the full and fruu usurob of all I r' his and privileges of a flwsmau. Chain up u rims- ti . said the hon. member, and he will become fierce, can u, and dangerous; but feed him well, and let him ave his liberty, and he will not only be inoffen- sive, but seek to be your faithful companion, your guardian, and your friend. So. in lilt manner, when men are treated like dogs, chained, kcnuellsd. and abused, they can inspire their opprsssors with no feelings but those of dread and alarm. But let those who have held them in bondage, strike oil‘ their shackles, and clsvulu them to the position of frecmen ' s themselves; and lhsy, at once, become their brethren, and ma be securely depended upon as the upholders and defenders, lo the last extremity, of law and order, and of every lhing which tends to promote the common weal. Mr. Mooney also indulged in a little play- ful sarcasm, al ihe expense of the hon. and learned member for Gees clown, Mr. Haviluud, on the score of what he called his nolicsism and obstruc- tive crotsllels. He said he could not help having a sort of liking for that you gentleman, on account of his sociability and ualur amenity of temper and disposition; but yet, no sooner did they touch, in de- bate, on any thin like liberalily and social progress, than that hes. a learned member became, all at once and altogether, rsetivs, morose, and impractica- ble. Ae a faithful representative of an obstructive borough. it could not. however, perhaps be expected that he should be ol srwie; and, on that account, therefore, be supposed they would have to bear with in. Mr. Mooney than ceuoluded, by forcibly main- laining that the r' htsof a British subject were a part. of himself, and 8 this merely rumovin from one of the British empire to another, cosh! aflbrd no just plea or pretext for his being divested of them. Mr. Macaunau said there was one vsr serious and important objection to be made to the Bi , which had, as yet, been overlooked. e meant the uncon- svilutionality of the H ouss‘s entertaining it without the nnction of their constituencies. was a measure intended to slfect a very serious and im at inno- vation of the representative constitution of the Island; sad, with such measures, be apprehended the House had no constitutional power to deal, unless when called upon to do so b their csustitusats. it we besides, an innovation r which no precedent could be found, either in tin British domiulens.or any where aIaa——not even in democratic America.

Without these hon. members, there would appa- reully he no op llion at all; and the wlioluome and constitutional c ck lo I islulion would be wholly removed. Of one lhingfbowevsr, he fell prelly cer- tain, and that was, that, until those gentlemen adopt- ed more liberal and enlightened views of policy, they would, so long as lhsy continued members of the Assembly, never be found any where but in ‘a feeble l obstruclivs ininori . on. Mr. WIIILAII said he had intended to take no part in the debate, because the principle of the Bill before the Committee had been so frequently dis- cumod in the present Semion, as well as in the last, as to leave ii almost impossible for un new a u- ments to be advanced or comballsd. he objections urged by lbs honorable gentlemen opposite. during the present discussion, were not new to the House, with llic exception, perhaps, of one observation which fell from the hon. and learned member for Geo s- town (Mr. Macaulay), which was to this efl'ecl—l at we should not pass the ' now before the Commit- tee, because our constituents are not known lo have expressed any decided opinion on the matter, nor to have given any instructions to their representatives in regard to it. This was certainly one objection for which he (Hon. Mr. Wbclsn) was not pro red. and e could not account for its use upon any ol or ground than a most melancholy poverty of argument which prevailed is the ‘hon. and learned gentleman's brain. 'l‘hs objection to which he had adverled, implied sub- scrvionc to c uuconstitulional sud uapasliamsaiary doctrine that the representatives of dis pls were not at i yto legislate fsooly apes eny_ questions afhctiiigi liriutereuls or their rights, without the consent of their constituencies lhereto had and obtain- . This doctrine would receive no countenance from him (Hon. Mr. W.). It would be perferlly just and reasonable for lbs people to obstruct the free action of their represunlatives, by dcgrudin lhem into the condition of delegalss, if the legislsl on of lbs latter should, at any lime, have a tendency to curtail public liberty; but, when the object of legislation was the very reverss—was, in short, the enlargement of the public liberty and the proleclion of public right, en it was ihe duty of ihe representatives ofllic peo- ple to act from the independent dictates of lhsir own judgment. llu (Hon. W.) had always enter- lulued lhll esumale of his duties and his responsibili- ties; and he had invsriabl acted up to ll, since he held a seal in thin llouse. at if it be wrong, as the honorable gsnllei-non opposite seemed to think it. was, to legislate upon a pub ic question without. asking llis advice of our conslilucnla, why does the hon. mem- ber for Georgetown invite the attention of the House to a much greater innovation on the established con- slitutiore of ihe country than was over yet proposed, when he knows that not one constituency in the country has expr an opinion on the mailer. llu (Hon. Mr. .) alluded to the favourite obstructive scheme of llllklu the Legislative Council an elective body—a ueslion with which the hon. member for Georgetown has now, for two years, been threatening the existence of the other Branch of the Legislature. The hon. member, in the fulncss of is distress, in- veighed against the Bill before :he Committee on uno- thor gro ad. There was no instance, he said. of any of the Colonies going solar, in extending the elective franchise; and not satisfied with looki lo the Colo- mau’s historical knowledge was at fault, else he would not have rnadehis nhalleuge quite so general. Ho ought to have remembered, that. two hundred and tiny cars ago, when these Coloulsl were founded by the lisb, from which lbs present Unllsd States have sprung, the privilege of election was granted to all men alike. All h so great a s of time has elapsed since the planting of those oloniss,slill their lerii riesd not be ashamed to look‘ back to their blustery or come valuable lessons in political science: and ii is remarkable I 1 their descendants have largely benefited by their wisdom; for rnanyof the ' ' ' the new republican Slates are based upon the early charters.

Hon. Mr. Loan thought all distinctions amon I men, which had no other or better foundation than I c salon or non-possession of property were unjust, absurd, and haleful- There was nothing in the more n of property which 0 hi to entitle him, or any other man, to greater politics rights and privileges than were to be conceded lo the perseveriug and icons- lioneat day-labourer, although they might be destitute of every thing like a property qualification. The clerks in their counting houses, the sail-makers in their lofls, the workmen in their ship-yards, lhe labourers upon their wharfs, were all as much entitled to n voice in the Legislation of the country as they who were enriched by lhsir labours. The casino of roperly was by no means, at all times, an evidence cit er of superior intelligence or of an srlor worth of any kind, in the possessor‘, and in all l at is truly sali- inubls in mllll, the servant would frequently be found vastly superlov lo his master. The principles of the Bill were founded in reason and justice; and the measure should have his cordial su on. the Si-uaxuu said that, from his own per- sonal experience, he knew that it was in: sslbls for a stranger lo acquire any thing like such a kaowlsd s of the country, its capabilities, or lbs condition of I people, during even a three (2) years residence in the Colony, as could justly sniitle ibsni toa voice in its legislation \ [The Hon. the Speaker spoke in an unusually low ksy,and the Re rter cannot, therefore, alsle, wit any cerlainl , w at was further said by him on this occasion.

Mr. Moivruoiuuur objected to one of the details of the measure, that men itinerating as labourers, from one part of the country lo another, frequently evade the operation of the Statute Labour Act also- gether; which. indeed, it was very easy for such men to do, as lheleboss throughout the Island was not all psrfor enter on same day, or is the same, week; a llial coussqaenily such men although ush- dlng the road tax altogether. would at be allowed to exercise the elective franchise. s hon. member objected to some other dslails nflbe measure; but his objections to them were seemingly answered to his sali.-faction, by the Hpn.

LOOK serous. YOU i.sar.—-Mauouuscs, N av. 12, I852.-—Comfort is unknown here- that is, in the town; h a house and garden in the bush is a very different thing. At present, all the varieties of the English climate, and in far greater severity.-—es cinlly with re ard lo floods of rain, and dense clouds of be blinding dust--rage in the golden land. There are thousands of per- sons, many, of fliem women and children, daily landing at the wharf, who cannot either for love or money gel. places wherein to lay their heads. Imagine a gloomy day (of which there are many at the present season), the rain descending in torrents, and the un- paved streeta u morass ; the river steamers running u and down the Yerra between the town and obson's Bay (where the shipping are anchored) all da Ion , to convey at each trip hundreds o new y arrived emi- grants 2 the passengers are landed, bug and aggage, on the wharf, among hundreds of their fellow sufferers, and are loll ruthlessly to their fate. The men of the different parties disperse about the town in quest of odgings; the women seat themselves upon their piled-up luggage, gathering their won- dering children uround t m, and await the husbands or brol.here' return with hope and confidence. Husbands, fathers, and bro- thers do return, but after lo absence, with wearied feet, flushed faoes,_ and sinking hearts. They have made a tour of the town, and there is no lodging to hehad-—they are absolutcl houeeless. Besides this, every article 0 consumption is enormous ore room for luggage (if found at all) is ruinous. Again the men start wildly on the same errand, and a sin return unsuc- cessful. I have seen tears rolling down more than one manly fellow‘s face, as he has stood contemplating his wife and children reduced to such hard necessities; and it is painful to witness the stunned look of despair, or, the agony of grief and tours with which the English women receive the cruel intel- ligence, and clasp with streaming eyes their homeless little ones to their hearts. The feverish hustle and excitement at the, wharf are increased by a novel kind.of gal. or mu-kst, which is iucossuntl being beldbud which, in itself, is also a ' able and ominous “sign of the times." The wares thus sold in the open air consist of the house- hold liirnilure, the little lots of goods brought out as speculations, or often the personal ‘ kit’ only of many of these people, who, un- able to find storage for their things, except at a. rent which would in_ a flaw do a or weeks swallow uptheir whole intrinsic value, £ on thin that it will fetch. in she ,, liars is K disaggrseublc elfcct about this dtr:.‘luud- damper thrown upon and prospects—-s change in the brightideiis originally formed-—a demolition lot’ the visionary cuties built,siace lea Europe, which (or I am much mistaken int sippe- sion of the human countenance) very ‘few fail to feel on touching the on.-Diclm-’ Houssllold Words. rue oouvtc-r. o. -nra vex: aiuouaivr ~ in or ' svsnaais.
