however on a division by a majority on the 11th the chancellor of the exchequer presented his view afthe ways and means the budget the expendi ture for 1627 was stated at 52690637 the income of 54500000 which left a surplus of revenue above expenditure of 1800000 and taking away advances for public works of 673690 still left a net surplus of 1126300 he anticipated au increased revenue for 1628 above 1827 of 600000 the dimunition of revenue on corn would be made up by an increased revenue on rurasugarbraudy and wine and particularly excise he calculated that there would be a net surplus in 1828 j over the expenditure of 3000000 ho did not think that government ought to continue to issue exchequer bills but to diminish the amount of those already in circulation and he would instead of borrowing tinder a delusion to make up a deficiency of nearly 3000000 to complete the amount re quired bylaw to bo applied to the siakiug fund annually recommend the application of the real surplus only to tho sinking fund thus doing away with the present received principle of tho sinking fund al together the chancellor accordingly present ed a bill for tho latter purpose the east kctford

discussioti was pissed and the bill came up to the house of lords if the lands were to be given tp the presbyterian clergy ho certainly should consider the act as one of spoliation lear for the established church of camda was the episcopal church he wislud not to say any thin harsh of tho respectable body of men composing the preshyttriau church but if they asserted a claim ti the lauds in question they laid a claim u that which was not theirs the noble sari who had presented the petition had ipokcnofthe il of the church of england as being iu the minority this was undoubtedly true but then it ought to hi recollected that this body of men were mire numerous than the members of any other persuasion taken singly without expessing any opinion on the general qucstiio of provid ing for the presbyterian clor he begged to say in conclusion that they lad no claims whatever on the lauds apporconed for the protestant clergy of the established ciiurch tho marquis of lansdcwv1t mid that he would notnow enteriuto the general question the more so as the subject was under consideration as well as other topics connected with canada before a com mittee in the other house of parliament but ho confessed he could not here the right rev prelate state what he had without offeriug a few words to their lord ships- tho reported speech of mr pitt was uot likely to be so accurate as convey ing his sentiments in connexion with the noble lord grenville who with him drew up the bill as what bad been stated by the noble lord opposito harrowby whose attention had been frequently called to the subject by his noble friend earl bathurst considered the sub ject of too great importance to be guided by any declaration of opiuions however great might bo the individual he agreed with the observation that the protestant clergy did not necessarily iuclude the church of england but it excluded all who were not recognized by some church hear the allotment of lands in con formity to the statute of the 31st of geo ill- he considered as a commutation of tithes t church of england was the established church in canada- by an ordinance which subsequently passed be vacant benefices were directed to bo given to the protectant clergy and it never could bo intended to be applicable to the church of scotland what he had stated he begged it to be understood that it was noi giving a fixed opiuion upon the sub ject but he would say that the rights of the church of england were commanding and paramount- lord clifden considered that the re fusal to comply with the prayer of this petition might ultimately cause a separa tion of the two countries it had been con sidered by some persons that this colony was of more expense than of value to this country and that its possession might be easily dispensed with but be lord clifden considered that part of our colonial pos sessions as of much more importance and therefore viewed the refusal of the prayer of this petition to be likely to increase the discontent which already prevailed to a serious extent in that part of the british dominions as he perceived from the ac counts in the newspapers the number of the inhabitants there who were of the established religion of the church of en gland formed a very small minority com- sared with the protestant dissenters and lembers of the scottish church and it hon c a hagcrman presided a the judge various civil suits ofgreat importance wero decided the first criminal prosecution was llic trial of daniel mckibbon who was charg ed with the murder of thos ford this unfortunate affair occurred at bytown last patricks day the testimony of all the witnesses went to show that a large party of the labourers on tho ridcau canal come from that part of the works called the hogs back to bytown bearing with them a red and a green flag this was done to celebrate or as one of the witnesses said to illuminate the anniversa ry of the tutclor st of ireland after the party had paraded through bytown call ed at various houses to get drink and had begun to feel the fumes of the ine briating draught too powerful for reason to retain her empire they quarreled and from the desperate and promiscuous manner of the affray it is rather surprising that only one lifo was the forfeit to that abominable and pernicious vice intoxication the following is merely an outline of the evidence jas

in his hand a petition from his majestys subjects of lower canada of great importance to both upper lower canada it was signed by 4000 persons aud conveyed the sentiment of a vast body of the people the prayer was to have the lauds which had been set apart for the ciiurch appropriated to the presbyterian clergy as well as the clergy of the en glish church by the 31 geo hi the protestant clergy were named as entitled to the provision to which he had referred and he apprehended that the presbyterian clergy came under that denomination by the act of the union with scotland wmitoiw centre and left wing and in this course thoro are obstacles which will delay their advance and cost them many lives a contribution of 3000000 piastres for an army of 80000 men has beeu levied by the russians on

no provision was made for their teachers and in many cases persons in that capacity went from the united states this he thought was a circumstance which deserved serious con sideration in tho united states t was well known there was no united es tablished church the people of canada would not be satisfied unless they had the advantages of the lands set apart for the clergy extended to the presbyterian cler gy the followers of tho established church were the minority and therefore this was an additional reason of the dissatis faction manifested by the petitioners- when the venerable lord grcnvill introduced the bill of 1791 he introduced the word pro testant in order to include all tho clergy who were not roman catholics into the benefits arising therefrom the whole question respecting canada was before a committee iu the other house of parlia ment and he trusted that every complaint the one named iu the petition included would be examined and satisfactorily ad justed the earl of harrowby would uot have now offered a single word on the subject had it not beeu for the allusion that had been made to an opinion of his noble friend lord greuvillo it did so happen that ho had had repeated conver sations with his noble friend on the sub ject and had been requested should it be required to declare in tho most public manner what that opinion was in that bill which was drawn up by his noble friend in conjunction with mr pitt and the greatest pains were taken to mauifest what wore their decided opinions and the opinions of the government their inten tion was that the lands apportioned to the the act of parliament contemplated at the time of its passing in brunswick too where the established religion was simi larly supported it appeared by a recent report by griffio that out of a population of 128000 souls ouly 28000 were of that religion he condemned the system which gave to the bishops and other high digna- taries of the church a revenue grown by length of time and the various changes in the situation of tho countries out of all proportion with the number of tbe inhabi- bitants professing that partiimlar faith whilst the larger number of the inhabitants were either to be deprived of their religious instructors or contribute to their main tenance in addition to those they already were compelled to support this subject was the ground of discontent and in the event of another war its evil consequences would be experienced but he did not think there was the least probability of a war being likely soon tooecur and the country had only to pray for a long continuance of tho lifo of charles the tenth for so long as that monarch lived he lord clifden was of opinion no war would take place a laugh lord goderich was of opinion that the act of parliament did not contemplate the maintenance of the church of england alone but that it had reference to the other protestant sects his lordship proceeded to read several extracts from the act of 1791 and referred to the clause which gave power to the provincial legislature to repeal such parts of that act as might be considered necessary the words of the act which defined the description of reli gion to be thus supported were any protestant religion or form of worship and ho cousideeed that these words in cluded in their meaning the clats of persons professing the religions faith f the peti tioners the act clearly contemplated clergy should not be exclusively devoted to the clergy of the church of englaud but panting provision for the protestant also to the presbyterian clergy hear ghurch but when the act passed there hear having in a manner received that commission from his noble friend he thought lie was called upon to state what he had on the present occasion tbe bishop of chester thought it was something extraordinary that the in tention of the bill of 1791 should have been so taken when the prime minister himself distinctly stated acoutrary intention when the bill was before uie house the right kov prelate then read a passage from mr the second reading of the that minister is represented as having said tliat the hill was toonable
