The Marquis of Normanby wermly coincided with this \i;e_w of the subject, and said that in war as welg as in peace the colonies were a source tfstrbngth to the Empire." Sir William Denison spolte more particttlarly of Canada. He denounced the penny wise and pound-foolish policy advocated in some quarters, and said thll be trusted the Government would make arrange- ments with the Colonies to aid those who want- ed aid. Canada. had rt frontierlof "800 miles. Would it hefair to any to her, You must de- fend yourself, or if you cannot, you will be left defeuceless, as we will not aid you ?" In such an extremity the Canadian must succumb to a force they criuld not resist. He did not desire to see protection forced upon the Colonies, but he reiterated that England should take a fair share in their defence. People talked about refusing them assistance upon principle. Ships were of secondary use in the defence of Canada ; they could not protect her frontier. It would be a great want of wisdom on the part of the colonies to eparste from the mother country. They shared the prestige of a great empire, and this in itself helped to make other countries respect them. Whoever was tempted to touch them, know that there was at mighty nation at their back. rl-IL. u:-_r,,,-, ;- -u - - _ __...,- ........ uu nuuuuer: nrancn of the river Dnngherty s grist mill has been torn down and swept away, and Kimball] mill broken into and cotgsiderably damaged.

In such a. case, the Colonies are not causing ex- pense to the mother country, but the mother country to them- Reprisals of * this kind may fairly claim" to be undertaken not for revenge, not even for punishment, but. rather to prevent the repetition of what may to in certain extent be regarded as a. purpoaeless and needless, and therefore I barbarous outrage.

He would not now address himself to the considerations which had led the government to accept the agreement beyond saying that they seemed to him of a most weighty kind. Mr Mackenzie could not agree with his hon. friend behind him (Mr Oliver) in cal- ling the Great Western Company a corpo- ration. No doubt it was wealthy in the sense of having a large and valuable pro- perty, but the sb:xreholders;residing for the most part in England had on the whole re- ceived but a poor return for their money. His own impression was that the utmost the government could have exacted was the full capital and the same pro- portion of the interest which the company had been able to pay in divi- denda among the shareholders. The gov- ernment had gone a little beyond this, but upon the whole he was inclined to accept the agreement entered into as ajust one, and would give the government his sup- port in carrying it out.

Provision was made to regulate the succes- sion of property among the Indians, as in the case where an Indian dies without wil- ling his farm to his eldest son, the properly is'to be divided among the heirs accord- ing to the laws of succession prevailing in the province where the property is situated. The great object was to eivllize the Indian, and every precaution should be taken to protect him in that effort. The bill 3181; proposed to allow the Indian settlements to pass municipal by-laws, under certain restrictions, subject to the approval of the `Governor in Council. It also proposed to enact that when an Indian woman` was mar- ried to a person not of lnoian blood she should leave her tribe with her husband, and her offspring would not be accounted an Indian. Authority was also obtained to com el chiefs to maintain the roads and brit ges on the reserves in a proper state of repair, and if the chiefs failed it would be competent for the Indian department to cause thework to be done and charge the expenses to the tribe. Mr Holton said if the provision for the removal from the reserve of white men mar- rying Indian women were to have a retroac- tive effect it would be productive of great injustice.
