Tuz House of Commons, yesterilay ‘after noon, passed the Canada Steam Navigation Company‘s Bill, and the Grand Trunk Arrangements _ Bill, through Commuttee, awdopted addresses tor returns on several sub jeets, and in the evening resumed the debate on the resolutions for the Incorporation of the Northwest Territory with the Domimnion, which â€"were recommitted to Committee oft the W hole on motion of the Hon. Mr.MacpovrGaLL, for the purpose of adopting an amerdment, providing that aoy arrangement â€" made between the Government and the Hadson‘s Bay Company should be submitted to Parliaâ€" ment fur approval. The debate was continuâ€" ed until fiwo o‘clock this morning, when the resolutions were agreed to. Hon. Mr. Hortos gave notice of an amendment to be moved on '-ol'udm and the House journed at 2:10. * Br the eleventh subâ€"section ot the 9th clause of the Postal Bil}, presented to the Senate by the Postmasterâ€"General, and passed through Committee of the Whole on Friday mh&.afiw.t\ndqs‘ debate, it was proposed "to be enacted, that he should have power to " prescribe and enforce such regu* * lations as to him might scem necessary in # respect of the registration of letters â€" and # other mail matter passing by mauil, as well * between places in Canwla, as Letween #Canads and the United Kingdom, any «* British possession, the United States or any * other foreign country, and to the charge to * be made for the same ; and also in respect of * the registration by the officers of the Post * Office of letters containing money or other # valuable enclosure, when postel without * registration by the semlers of the same, 4 and to imposing such . rate of registration "chl'.-p---bluuq as he may deem “p’lr.ntnsudi-g treble the ordinary # rate." ‘The reason for »uch an enactment December 9, 1867. was concisely stated by the Postmasterâ€"Genâ€" éral to be the withdrawal from the mass of letiers, of those containing money or other valuable enclosures, and thereby the resnoval of temptation from the clerks and servants in Post: Offices, to purloin such letters. It i+ quite possible that if the Hon. Postmasterâ€" Generai had argued the subject with more pertinacity, the members might have discorâ€" ered the paramount importance of the intenâ€" ded fegulation, but the House had already spent twodays in Commitiee on the ineasure, besides a previous day in debate on the second reading, and as it was then growing very late, the reasons of the objectors, anithe vigour with which they urged them, had the effect of inducing a conviction that said reguâ€" lations ought not to be establisheil. Indeed, two of the main objections to the Billâ€"the compulsory prepayment of letter and newsâ€" paper postage, having been so far successiul as t cause the PostmasterGenetal to conâ€" -blhn’-u. several members had left, and the rest were impasent for a termina tion of the debate,so as to allow the Bill to be reportedâ€"hence the compuarative ficility with which this particular provision was expunged. Yet if we understand the subject, this was one of the most important, most neeled, and most beneficial, features.of the whole meaâ€" sure. â€" It has always been a law of the Post Office here and elsewhere that enclosing in any letter or picket any explosive or other dangerous substance likely to injure the contents of the mail, or the person of the officer in charge, would be a mislemsanor, unless it were a crime of greater magnitude. "The contents of the bags might by such exâ€" plosive compounds or liquids be destroyed, aad the lifeof the coaluctor or carrier enâ€" dangered. Lhis, however, we regiard as a contingency of rare possible occarrence, and, after all, linnted in its result, but the mailing of valumble letters or packagzes without the presautions of resistration, thouzh not inâ€" TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1867 tentionally evil, any . more than the mailing of dangerous chemical substances, is a pracâ€" tice fraught with, nxt possible danger oaly, but with the certainty of it to the community in general. So long as the unregistered letâ€" tars offer the prospéct of plunder to dishonest ofcers, so long will thetemptation provoke dishonesty, and so long will letieers be purloined in the hope of unlawlul gain. Let it be but well understo»t that the unregistered letters contain nothing worth stealing, and the peculation thereof will cease. â€" It is true that the Post Office service of Canada has been, in comparison with the same service in other countries, remarkably Irse from robberies and embezslements, but nevertheless it has experiencel not a few, and of Inte the number has been on the inâ€" crease. Now if the persons who are too negligent, or too parsimonious, to obtain and pay fr the registration of letters or packets containing valuable enclosures, were the only sufferers, the loases might be submitted to by the rest of the community with some deâ€" gree of resignation, though even then the corrupting influence in respect of the officials would be matter for serious consideration. But the wrong is not limited to the loss of money on the part of the senders, or to the loss of integrity on the part of the tempted uad sinning servant: it extends mach furâ€" ther. ‘The thief, not knowing which of a parcel of letters may contain valuables, or not hayâ€" ing time to sort out snch as from their bulk may suggest such costents, seizes the whole packet and after having opened, destroys the whole lot. Jn this way hundreds and thouâ€" Citr and County Official Paper NEW AvVERTISEMEN Is. THE sands of letters containing neither money nor money‘s worth, but intelligence worth money, I or transcending all possible mongy considerâ€" ations, may be lost. Who can tell how many sensitive hearts have been agzrieved by sup posed neglect; how many promising projects blighted ; how many engagements dissolved ; how many disasters induced, by the. nonâ€"reâ€" ception of letters destroyed, by Post Office thieves in search of booty ? It transpired but recently that hundreds of letters within a few weeks, many of them containing money, had been stolen at one of our city Post O .Kizes ; but itmembers of Parliament desire to know more f the subject, an | to un derstand the responâ€"â€" sibility they incur in rejecting a regulation which would have gone a long way toward s putting an ead to a great and growing evil, we are quite sure the chief officers of the D« partment here will be happy t» enlighten . them. The check proposed was no new idea,as some lion. members of the Senate seemed to suppose. â€" With handly a moment‘« reflection, as it appeared, they condemned the propusi, tion as in the last degree offensively arbitrary, and insisted upon its expurgation, but it they will consider that it has been long practice in Englani and France, and more regently wlopted in three of the Australian Provinces, they may perkhaps modify their views, and consent _ to > rescind their _ decision in this particular. _ For the benefit of these hon. gentlemen, we subjoin the followâ€" ing ‘copious extract upon this subject from: the Report wf 135% otf . the Postmaster General of the United Kingdom. We desire to remind them also that, as they several times appealed to British practice during the debate, as being preferable to that of the United State», they may yet have the opportunity of showing their preferences in a practical manner. In the meantime we beg w call their attention to what Lord Staxuey, of Alderley, says on the subject of compuisory Registration : # «* REGISTRATION OF LETTERS. @In the year1861, with your Lordship‘s sanction, two measures, having for their comâ€" mon object the lessening of the temptations arranged that letters which were posted without registration, but which upt:;ued un questionably to contain coin, should be comâ€" pulsorily registered by the department, and ‘.’I'ilhldwbhf'iéumt'u}wbe "2 by the addressec. The result of these cothbined measures has been satisfactory. The number of registered letters has risen trom 1,457,000 in 1860 to 1,965,000 in 1863; and the number of applications for missing letters containing coin has fallen from about 6,000 to about 2,000.wl:r annum. Qa the other hand, the good t of these measures has to a great extent been neutralized by the growth of the practice of transmitting postage stamps through the post; the applications for missing letters containing ‘postage stamps having rmsen precisely in the proportion in which the applications for missing letters containing corn have fallen. The proportion of missing letters to the whole correspondence of the country isexceediagly small, inasmuch as not more than one letter in every 23,000 to which the servants of the post offi¢e had been exposed, by the transmission ot valuable property in unregistered letters, were introâ€" duced by me. By the first of these measures the tee for the registration of letters was reâ€" duced from 64. to 44. ; by the second, it was cuous rol goes astray; and of those which go astrdy many are eventually recovered; but the motnal number of missing letters is still far too great. During the present year great e@orts have been made within the department to detect and check dishonesty ; many digbo.oo:ndpom have been brought . to justice, the perpetrators of some conspiâ€" ms . . N_ ponimtnnt d PA Ee O esc "* That vigilance, however, which can only detect and punish, is at the best unsatisfactory in its resulte; but so long as the public will not coâ€"operate with the department by withâ€" holding the temptations to crime, no better results can be expected. So long as the public persist in sending large saums of money in unregistered letters, so long will men be tound ready, in an establishment so large as is the pod(';.ot, to avail themselves of the opportunities for crime thus culpably afforded to them. â€" The principal officers of the departâ€" ment are actively o:ng@l in considering whether any further inducement to resort to tb':hw :rlomy Onder aystem cnri with propriety be offered to the public, and shall be glad if they find lhcmge“lvn able to recommend the grant of any such additional inducements ; but, in the meanwhile, I would remind the public that the securities of either system can at present be rrehual very cheaply, and that the letter, which 1t it be not registered, may offer a strong temptation to any one of many persons, may, by the payâ€" ment of fourpence, be made to offer hardly any temptation at all, and to offer that very slight temptation only to a few." Tus New York World of Friday last, on imaginary authority, reports the. Hon. Mr. McGzn‘s retirement in consequence of ill healith, from " the pudd!e of personalities they # call politics in Canada."

Fourteen years ago, the exhibition nstonished visitors from a «istance, and we have no doubt whatever that the one now. in contemplation will be a hundred fold more astonishing, for not only bave its nataral reâ€" sources been very extensively developed by the aid of science, but its manufacturing inâ€" dustry has increased to even greater extent.

Axorew Maxs, Chairman of Committee, Mus. Brows.â€" We spent a very pleasant time at the Theatre last evening with Mr. Arthur Sketchley, He is certainly a bumourâ€" ous story teller, and kept his audience in a merry mood during the whole evening. His preparations, and th.ose of Mrs. Brown, for the journey to the Paris exhibition, the scene at the railway station, and that on board the steamer, on her perilous voyage across the channe}, were bighly provocative of Iaughter. And his personation of the Frenchman, with his notions of Shakespeare, and his imperfect English, &¢., was perfect, Mrs. Brown‘s adâ€" ventures in Paris wervall rendered in a vein of quict humor, which precluded the possiâ€" bility of his audience preserving their gravity for _ a moment, But the lady‘s _ irrepressible _ ideas _of propriety and impropricty on aH oceasions, and more especially at © Queen Victoria‘s owa Theatre," with her great bodily and mental sufferings thers, and on the journey thither, as related in Mr. Sketchley‘s own muliu fashion, were perfectly irregistible in t effocts on all who heard the comical narration. We could give no adequate idea of the entertainment in writing. In order to be appreciated, the whole must be heard, and the countenance of the narrator watched as he tells it, ‘The audience was composed of many of the most respectable and intelh,ent ladies and gentiemen in the city, sand all crjoyed the treat amazingly.

Mr. Sketchley must have :rl gratified by the high respectability of a audience, and was no doubt not a little amused to notice that his hamor placed many young gentiemen noticeable for a very small margin in their nether garments in the awkâ€" ward dilemma of having to escape the contaâ€" gion of laughter or suffer the unpleasantness of becoming cachinatory gy mnasts, with very little room for the performance."

Instead of conâ€" demning the Legislators of the past, who established these exemptions, we should hold them in high honor, for under ‘their enlightâ€" ened legislation the best intercsts of the coun. try have been most efficiently promotod at the least possivle expense. To the Editor of the Ouawa Wix®3. EXEMPTION OF CERTAIN CLASSES OF PAPERS FROM POSTAGE. It is a question whether all papers should not ‘be exemptedâ€"and in no way, perhaps, could the same amount be better spent by the country than in transmitting newspapers and periodicals free, but perbaps the country canâ€" not afford this, and certainly unader such any extended exemption, much matter would be carried at public expense thatis rot beneficial, but neither of these objections apply to the‘ classes of papers now sent free, which ars ewinuently Enunclnl, and which cohstitute so sm ill a proportion of mail matter, that the country can send them alimost without adâ€" ditional expense to the Department. _ > Under the present beneficent law Education has been fostered ; Sunday Schools have been aided by cheap supplies of children‘s papers ; Agriculture has bsen advanced and Temporâ€" ance has been prowoted, and all this at an exâ€" pense incalculably less to the public than the same amount of good could have been efâ€" fectud for in any other way. _ Canada has been ahead of the world in this enlightened leg‘slation, and why should she lose her preâ€" em nence ? ‘The grant to one agricultural soâ€" cicty, mach of which is probably wasted, would senâ€" all the agricultural papers published inthe couatry free through the malls for the benefit of ta« firmers : the ten thousandth part of the cost to Government of preventing and cor. recting the evils of intemperance would send all the temperance papers. Aad the salary of a single official in the Educational Departâ€" ment would more than send all the purely educational papers of every kind. Bat apecific objections are urged against the exe:mption of these classes of papers. 1st. They come into competition with newsâ€" papers that pay postage. This is quite an facorrect view. None of thein have any news, and therefore, they can in no way serve instead of a newspaper, though they may, and do, crvate a taste for reading, which greatly bencfts the subscription lists of newspapers. lInodeed, on this last ground alone th:irs exemption might be defended. 2ud. They are money making concerns. This is equally incorrect,. _ No temperancs paper has ever paid its way. The Montreal Temâ€" perance Society published the Canada Temâ€" perance Advocate for twenty years, and it had every year to be sustained by benevolent subâ€"criptions. No educational paper has ever paid its way in Canada, as the departments can testify, and no agricultural paper is likely to pay, except by the insertion of agricultural advertisements, which might if thought best be prohibited. In fact ncarly all these kind of ‘periodicals, after being published for some years, go down unles» sustained by philanthroâ€" pic or patriotic societies and lnd{vzhmln: The classes of papers in question contain no politics, nor controversy ; they can offend no class of the community, whilst they are caleuâ€" lated to benefit all; they visit almost every settler‘s shanty, and benefit almost every child; they are the pioneers ot Intelligence and morality, and consequently of prosperity â€" and all this mainly because of their free transâ€" mission through the post uffice. Not being generally self supporting, the addition of postâ€" m-‘y annibilate most of them, to the great ppointment, and lo&s, of their many thouâ€" sands of subscribers. To sum up, thers is an immense aggregate of good being accomplished at an almost inâ€" appreciable expense by a system which has beca bappily going on for many years, and now it is proposed to put astop to it.. Surely, however, the m«inbers of the Legislaturs, who understand the real state of theâ€"cass, are numerous enough, and patrioctic enough, to prevent such a result, If there have been any abuses in the past l tâ€"thom be guarded againstin the fatare, but let n t a system so very beneficial be destroyed. Do not legisâ€" late against poor settlers or small children. The Government can have no desire in this matter, but to meet the wish of the country ; but it is in danger of accepting, for that wish, the opinion ot a few representatives of the newspaper press here, who are (without auy good reason) jealous of the exemption in ques« tion. In a word, the comparatively fow who opposs the exem:liou are here and influenâ€" tial, whilst the hundreds of thousands who are opposed to any change are scattered through the settlements aud backwoods, and canuot make their voices heard. A stromg pointin favor.of these exemptions is tuis, that each of these small papers creates directly a.large amount of correspondence which but for it would not existâ€"and by fosâ€" teriag intelligence, enterprise, and thrift, it crentes indirectly a stilt larger amount of corâ€" respoadence, and promotes the wealth of the country. T ae objection indicated agzinst any exempâ€" tiorms by the question where will you stop? is ea:!y answered by pointing to the ¢xisting law of Canada. I lioping that this matter will be considered in a liberal spirit, and thinking that the exâ€" peri ‘nce and observation of an extensive pubâ€" lis\. r might be considered worthy of perasal, I L.ve deemed it my duty to submit these viws with much deference, to our Governâ€" meit and Legislators through your columns. I am your most obedient servant, Joux Doveart.

The Department was not axpected to yield a revenue, nor was it desirable, but it shoukd, if possible, be selt sustaining. The H.on. Postmaâ€"terâ€"General had already made great concessions, and he should not be asked t) forego everything, and he did not under atand him to intend foreing the reception ot letters everywhere from the hand« o! carriers. â€" The reduction of the letter rate to three cents would entail a large loss, und in the present state of the Anances of the coun: try, hon, members should beware of tarowing to heavy burdens upon the general reverme. Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL propwed to wld a sutwection to clause 38, which woul 1 appear as No. 7, in the following words: Lt Ack db l WnBd ifâ€" sys Alpver tb Wl Petitions and addresses might be sent to each of the Lqfiuluuru of Ontarioy Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Seotia, during each session free of postage, under such regulations as the Postmaster General might prescribe. On the 42nd clauseâ€"Hoo. Mr. TESSIER suil that it gave power to the Postmasterâ€" General, or to persons appuinted‘by him, to open letiers supposed to contain â€" dutiable goals, &oc. Now this was a very proper authority to give the Department, but it should be gnardad, tor in times of party exâ€" citement or for other reasons a Postma«ter might pretend to hargsuspicions and proceed to the opening of letters. He thought that in cases of this kind the letters should be opened before a Justice of the Peace, or that the Postmaster should be required at least to muke an affiiavit, setting furth his reasons for such a course. _______ Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL said the power would be exercisei with the greatest care and under the regulations of the Di-rmuent. On the 43rd ctanse relating to Ferricaâ€" Hon. Mr. CAUCHON said that it might happen as it drl at Quebec, that in obeying the injunctions of the Department the mail carrier would expose himsell to prosecution under some municipal regulation, One such carrier had been sued before the Heconder for passing in a canoe and breaking the newâ€" ly formed ice on the river.

Mr. CAMPBELL ran over the chiet Hon. Mr. TESSIER expressed his belief that the Post Office Savings Bank would have the effect of swallowing up all the other savings banks in the Dominion, Hon. Mr. FERRIER thought it the best teature of the whole Bill. It was an insutu tion that would exist in reference to our property in the people themselves, who would be lenders to the Government, voluntarily, of such sums as they had to spare on the best of all possible securites, the taith of their own Government. _ The interest would be paid to our own people, as the money wou‘d be lent by our own people. _ On a emaller seale it woul i resemble the debt. of England, which was all owing to Englishmen, and created no inconvenience, but obviated the necessity for louns of foreign capital. _ As regards the $500,000 consols he looked upon the layâ€" ing past of that «um as absolutely necessary, because if a ruo were made upor the bank, the bank ought to be in a position to pay, The Savings Bank clauses were then carâ€" ried, as were all the subsequent clanses af fecting post office governinent, the Hon. Postmaster General having .remarked that the postal law had been made to d@ssimilate with the existing laws of New Brunswick and Nova Scutia, and_that the punishment for stealing a mailed letter had been ameliorated from a life imprisonment to a . pernalty of not leas than five years‘ imprisonment for such uflence. A The clauses relating to postage on newsâ€" papers, which had been, reserved, were then taken ug Hon.

The Hon. Postmusterâ€"General had alladed to the resolutions of editor« at 8t. John, but he had evidently failed to answer their arzument very sausfactorily. The amount proposed to be raised from this source was not consilerable, and he would inform the | ernment how an equal amount coul saved in a way ‘ar more satiâ€"<factorily to people. _ By referring to the public acco of 1866, he noticed that when the lat :Ishln'e Conncil of Canada was compos 4 members, whose sessional pay, be: contingencies, amounted to $38,400, there employed 5§ | sabordinate officers and Yants, ln‘:l"l'{(.n: 4 pages, 9 females, 4 w men, houseâ€"keeper and assistant, costing $42,000, or ab>ut $4,000 more .than members‘ fiay at $600 ‘each.

Mrl CAMPBELL wasgu that the preseat law with regari t upon ‘newâ€"pipers as it existel in itse Hon. uf BOURINOT grieved tor the bad effect likely to be produced by the imâ€" position of |a tax on newspapers in Nova Seotia. â€" He did not look upon the tax so much a matter of dollars, but as interter ing with a privilege which the people o0f Nove Seotia hadjlong had, and valued. . He would move in amendment, that all new spapers thr ughout theDominion of Canaâ€" da should piss through the: mails free of postare. 1. _ _ io oi . _‘Hon. Mr. DICKEY seconded the mtion. The l’-rsmjuter-fienenl insisted that the tax upon newspapers was absolutely necessary, while he contemded it was very far from being the case, unless it was designed to effect an equilivriam merely in making the revenue of the Post Office Department fully meet the expenditure. _ Yet the whoule newspaper postaze was only a tenth of the whole assets â€"in Canada $90,000â€"in Nova Seotia and New Brunf\vwk $40,000â€"equal to $130,000. ‘ He put the question distinetly to the House, ‘ it the projppsed postage on newapapers was desiravle? With a peculiarly Post Office view of th¢ matter, the Postmasterâ€"General calls the circulation of newspapers free ol Lusufe, 1e of the ‘evile of disseminating nowled If a revenue was the only thing wanted, why not keep the present rate on letters, no one having asked for a change. He lhwrg:}t a judicions econommy in | salaries, and in railway charges, would obviate ail necessity of the proposed tax on newspiper«. Hon. Mr. ANBERSON did. not with lis hon. friend.â€" He thought the r:’ucuon of $60,000, which the reduced letter rate would afford to the people of Nova Scotia, was a boon, and ought to compensate for the imposition of a newspaper postage. _ Pesve Hon,. Mr. WEIR did not agree with the amendment. â€" The Hon. Postmasterâ€"General had shown good feeling. in the discussion of the details of this Bill, and had very gracefuily yielded some puints which he might not have yielded if he chose. â€" For hi« part he thought barrels of flour would be fnore acceptable in the backwoods than newspapers, and the same argument |might be applied tor the transmisâ€" sion of flour tnrough the mails free, for newsâ€" papers to be so carried. There was such a thing as newspaper license. n mien On the |l1th subsection to the 9th clause, Hon, Mr. AIKENS asked why the maximum rate of registration was not stated, and after some couvLm(lon it was fixed at six cents. â€"Theamindment was then put and declared lost. 1 * With regard to the power proposed to be conâ€" fetred upon the Postmasterâ€"General to compel the registration of letters containing money or other valuables, R c Hon. Mr. FLINT asked how a Postmaster could know the contents of said letters, so as to be justified in registering them, whether the sender desired it or not. | Hon. Mr. CAMPBELLâ€"The bandiing of the letters would in most cases be a suflicient guide, but it subsequently proved not to have been iettets containing valuables, the fee would be returned. This did not satisfy the objectors, and the clanse was modified: in such a manner as to withdraw the power. . § ersantk Hon. Mr. REESOR begged to ask why the vertificates of deposits were not transferable ? Hon. Mr, CA MPBELL said that the sabject had been cerefully considered by the Financial or Treasury Board, composed of Ministers most experiepced in such questions, and they had decided that it wonld be inexpedient, The Committee then rose and reported the Bill as amended. â€" ‘The amendments were con. curred in, and it was ordered for a third readâ€" ing on Monday. * f Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Bill to amend the Charter of the Uomu{-rchl Bank of Canada, and stated the particular objects it conteinplated. â€" The Bill was then read a second time and rcferred to the Standing Committee on Bankâ€" ing, Commerce and Railways. } Moxpay, Dec. 9, 1867.

If they would do that ‘ well and wisely they would do all that was at present required. It appearâ€"d to him that any one leaving the old colonies to move into that wilderness would be making a great mistake. He would be quite willing to vote for an ap~ propriation to open up communication beâ€" $ween that territory and Canada, and this h: cousidered was all that should be done.
