The Province of New Brunswick had, previous to this levied, an export duty of uoddhrprxo- pine timber and other lamber, and duty was collected upon American timber, as well as upon our own. The American Government pressed for a reâ€" mission of the export duty, on the ground that American timber was not liable for stumpage, but the British @overnment refused to entertain the question In 1854 the Reâ€" ciprocity Treaty was entered into, and this of course suspended all duties on the unmanu. factured products of the sea, sod, and forest.

But the refurn now on the table shows a very different result. In 1866, under a heavy d-.z,‘:.d a heavily stocked market in the U Btates, the shipments to their ports reached 517,000,000 feet ; in 1867 §27,000,000, ‘and in 1863 594,000,000, and l-u‘-:d;’ ‘:l lhlp...:‘. of _ pine falling, vanced. average shipments, for the three years befors the closing of reci ty, when there was no duty, wasâ€" : and for the three y-:‘n y,ngdogthodutyhud- vanced cost, to 546 millions, thus clearly showing that the Vnited States caanot do without our pine.

Mr. DEVER said that inasmuch as the Americans cannot do without this lumber, as stated by his hon. friend (Mr. Robertson), and as they have to pay the twenty per cent duty out of their own pocket, it was an arguâ€" ment against our being compelled to ask for mlt:tlty, because we can now ship our lumber direct to all of the world, and compete umh.oour;':uh the Americans, whereas if it is shipped from an American port it is subject to this duty of twenty per cent, which is just that much to our advant. age in shipping it from the ports of the Dominiqh. ‘ The motion was then carried.

We can oo-pofiq!e:ith them if we bave the American market open to us, beâ€" canse we can produce ships at oneâ€"half the Americans do, If the Americans expect to eccupy the second mercantile marine in the world, they should open their market and and recuperate their merâ€" cantile nayy by purchasing our ships He believed the time was not far distant when tho:“ wohld‘see it was for their interest to open this market, looking to what was in the tuture for them if tz‘-munud their Chinese policy of excl Though reâ€" eiprocity may be retarded through class kl:- terest, it will be adopted at last.

The shipping in of the country has almost totally failed from the absence of markets. In the United Kingdom they have great favilities for the conâ€" structionofiron ships,and this has had the effect of destroying the market forthe class of ships buils at Quebec, St. John, and other ports aloag the seaboard. ‘The building of these ships gave employment to a large number of people, and they made a market for the proâ€" ductions of the soil of the far West ; but now since shipbuilding has almost ceased these people have gone to ‘other lands to seek for employment. When the war broke out in the United States they were the second shipping power in the world. Their mercantile marine comprised a tonnage of $600,000, and was second only to England ; while now it is but 250,000 tons. What is the reason of this reâ€" duction? An American might say the Alaâ€" bama had something to do with it ; no doubt but it did, but that was only a drop in the bucket compared with other caus s. The same influence which affected the production House would feel pleased with the information given byâ€" his hon. friend to the House and country on the subject, upon which he was well qualifed to give information. ‘The | statements of his hon. friend he believed were | correct.

Sti‘l he £.1t that the Government might be forced to take such a course if the Americans refuse to negotiate a Reciprocity Treaty, which is so much desired by the people on both sides of the line. They now excluds us trom their markets ; tax the products of out country in a prohih‘tory manner, excluus our | shipping from their waters, refuse to our shipowners the right of participation in the coasting. trade of the Union, while at the same time they participate in our coasting irade ; refuse us the same registry for British ships as they now bave for American ships ; refuse us the right to use their canalsand rivers althpugh we now permit them to use our rivers and canals, If the Americans persist in this course such a reaction may take place in public opinion as will compel the Government to consider the propriety of adopting the suggestion made by his hon. friend, but he trusted that extreme measures would not be required. If we bhave suffered from the want of "a Reciprocity Treaty, we have not suffered in so great a degree as the people of the neighbouring Republic.. He belicved there was much agitation and feelâ€" ing for a new Reciprocity Treaty in the sea 'bo-nIShtu of the American Union as in the Dominion ot Canada. Scarcely a city along the coast of New England but has seriously telt the depreciation of trade, caused by the nbnfl‘lon of the Reciprocity ‘Treaty, and no city felt it more than the city of Boston, as that city had derived a large trade from the different Provinces of the Dominion. The necessity for this treaty, to increase the trado of those cities, will tend to operate upon the Legislatures of the several States of the Union, as well as upon Congress, and induce them to take mg:dto bring it about.

Mr. ROBERTSON was quite willing to do that, because from the course trade bas taken about oneâ€"balf or twoâ€"thirds ot our lumber goes to Boston or New York, and is thence shipped to all parts of the world as American lumber. We have a right to protect ourselves, and as by the North America Act we can raise money by taxation in any way we please, it would be doing no more than justice to curselves to put a tax upon all lumber shipped to the United Stcates. Having made these few remaiks be would move that this return be riferred to the Committee on Printing. Hon.

This is certainly an extraâ€" ordinary mode of gaining our love and affecâ€" tion (bear, bear) Instead of securing anâ€" nexation he was convinced that such a course would have just the coutrary effect upon the inhabitants of the Dominion. He boped that when the treaty was made, it would be liberal in its provisions, but in our negociations for its accomplishment we should not lose sight of the advantiges we were giving up in r«. signing the right to impose an export duty upon our lumber.

He was satisfied with the terms, and congratulated the Government on having dealt with the question in so energetic and satisfactory a manneor. Mr. FERGUSSON said if there was to be no effort made to open up and settle the territory, the £300,000 to be paid for it would be lost. The question now was the acceptâ€" aunce of the agreement made in London,and that was virtually done last session. He thought the delegates had done their duty in the matter ; and the next step now proposed was the establishment of a governmweht. He replied to the objections of the member for Westmoreland _ (South) _ shewing _ that the Government _ was just _ about doing what he suggested as the correct policy. In regard to the people leaving the country, he said it was trve also that many Americans came to Canada,and when they did come they generally remained in it. He believed the Government was taking a wise step in proâ€" ;odu first to establish a government in the orthwest ; and next to establish communicaâ€" tion. He hoped the Government would not be penny wise and pound foolish in making roads to that country, No miserable waggon road would serve the purposes of communiâ€" cation with the Northwest. He h«;rd the Government would take the responsibility of buildiog a railway from the head of Lake Superior to complets the connection with the water communication. He ‘was prepared to take his share of the responsibility of n‘gsofl-‘ ing this policy,. He thought the money should be borrowed for the purpose or opening up that country, (hear, hear). Dr. BOWN said they should remember that there was a large number of Canadians in the Northwest ‘Territory whose interests should be considercd. . Delay in this r would be most dangerous, for the ml' that territory could be acquired, the less would be its cost. He referred to the inflictions of the Hudson‘s Bay Company‘s officers on these Canadian gettlers, and their fruitless efforts for redress in appeal to the Canadian Governments, American emisâ€" saries hbad come among these people, advising them to become American citâ€" izens, But they would not do so; on the contrary, they had banded together for their own protection. Though these people had not yet taken further steps to rid themâ€" selves of these difficulties, yet there was great excitement there, and no saying where it might end. He thought there should be an expression of sympathy on the part of this House, and assurance counveyed to them of their speody deliverance from the oppressions of the Hudson‘s Bay Company. After speakâ€" ing some time on the subject of route, Dr, Bown said in reterence to the peoplo of this country leaving for the United Stutes, many causes had been assigned, but there was one which he might mention, though perhaps it might appear invidious to do so. g:\ the county he had the honour to represent there was a gentlieman, a member of the Legisiature, who had for years enâ€" couraged people to leave the county of Brant, and settle in Arkansas. If the American Goverament could securs emigrant agents, within the very walls of outr Legislature, it was no wouder that people left this country, (bhear, hear), Hon. Mr. TILLEY denied that any advoâ€" cats of Confederation in the Maritime Provibpces ever pretended tbhat the terâ€" ritory was not to be obtained until the annual income of the countryâ€" could pay for it, any more than that they pretended the Intercolonial Railway would be post;poned until the annual revenue would bear the cost ofit. This purchase had been made upon terms which involved ocoly the payment of the annual interest on a sum which could not be pretendsd was a burthen on the coun. try. Hon,. J.8. MACEONALD desired to have some information concerning the means of access tabe provided. He did not wish to opâ€" { pose the acquisition of the Northwest ; but its l valuo would greatly depend upon the means of access to it. He wished to know whether they intended to open water communication by the Ottawa, or whether they intended to open railway communication. As for a wagâ€" gon road, it would be of little service, Then as to the Indian tribes; what would be the policy of the Government in case of a serious emeute? It would be too late to meet such ap evil after it had occurred$ it was necessary to prepare beforechand, He desired also to know whether it was the intention of the Governâ€" ment to meet the expenses of the Northwest out of the ordivary revenues of the country. These points were of the utmost importance and should be understood at on‘te. Hon, Mr. SMITA agreed wish the member for Cornwall that all the questions connected with this subject should be discussed toâ€" gether; and contended that the people of the Maritime Provinces had been deceived in this matter, because they were led to believe that the Northwest would not so soon be brought in. He did not think the finances of the country would admit of the expenditure necessary t) open up communication with the Northwest. The acquisition of the terriâ€" tory had been premature. Sir GEORGE E. CARTIER explained to the member for Cornwall what he had stated last night, regarding the establishment ot a Provisional Government, and opening up of communication, &¢. In a few days there would be a measure submitted for a sort of Proâ€" visional Government there until the next session of Parliament, and he hoped that during the recess‘ a plan would be prepared for submission the next session regarding the opening up of communjcation and for the future government of the territory. Mr. McKENZIE thought the discussion should more properly take place on these questions when the Government measures were brought down. â€" 1 On the motion Sir GEORGE E. CaRâ€" TIER for concurrence in the resolutions on the Northwest Terriiory, everal petitions were presented. r. OLIVER prescnted the report of the Sppcial Committeo on American silver curâ€" redcy, recommending that American silver to th¢ amount of five millions of dollars be exported Irom the country on the same plan as that adopted by the Government in the exportation of one million of silverin 1868, or on any other plan which the Government might see fit to adopt. > .lâ€"lon.

Hon. Mr. DUNKIN quoted from the Union Act pointing out the difficulty of determining where the authority of one Government began and the other ended. This should be clearly defined. Mr. BLAKE replied insisting that it was the duty of the Government to lay down a distinct policy on the question. involve endless 7oxf|;n“l;"<;; the Government to undertake the maintenance of every harbour in the country. Hon. Mr, MACDOUGALL replied stating the policy of the old Government of Canada in selling out the harbours, under certain restrictions.

Hon, Mr. LANGEVIN then moved the second reading of the Bill respecting immiâ€" gration and immigrants ; : the motion was carried, and the Bill sent to Committee on Tuesday next, with the resolutions preâ€" viously reported. After some consideration, the Committee rose and reported the resolutions. The report was concurred in, * The House then went into Committee, on the motion of Hon. Mr. Langevin, to consider certain resolutions on the subject of duty to be paid by masters of vessels, on account of immigracts brought by them to any port in Canadaâ€"Mr. Magill in the Chair. The House resumed in Committee on the resolution to confirm the contract with Allan & C€o., rose and reported, and asked leave to sit again on Tuesday. > The committee rose and reported, and it beirig six o‘clock the SPEAKER left the chair. Hon. Mr. HOLTON was of opinion that the conutract had two years yet to run, and he wished to know why that being the case the Government introduced this resolution. After some delay in hunting up the documents, it was found that the contract expired on April, 1869. The House then went into committee on the following resolution : That it is expeâ€" dient that the provisional contract entered into between Hugh Allan, Esquire, and the Postmasterâ€"General of Canada, under the auâ€" thority of an ‘Order in Council, dated the 18th of March, 1869, for a weekly service of ocean mail steamers, on the terms and conditions get forth in the said contract, ( a copy whereof and of the said Order in Council has been laid before Parliament,) should be sanctioned and authorized by the Parliament, as required by the terms thereof, in order to its becoming valid and binding.â€"Mr. Pope in the chair. The Bill was then referred to Committce of the Whole on Tuesday. & Mr. BOWELL objected to the sugg stion of the member for Sherbrooke to allow forâ€" eigners to assign their inventions to persons in this country, as it would restrict the operâ€" ation of forcign inventors more than the present Biil. Hon. Mr. GALT said he wou!‘d move an amendment in Committee in accordanes with his suggestion. * The Bill was then read a second time. Oa motion to rcfer it to Committee of the Whole, d Mr., CHAMBERLIN thought it was a sâ€"riâ€" ous consideration for governments whether it would not be better to do away witk patents altogether, and give rewards to inventors. He zpprovri of allowing foreigners t» obtain paténts in this country, but only on condition of theirâ€" p\m.inx their inventions into actual operation. Mr. BEOWN argued in favour of the adâ€" mission of foreign patents. Mr, BLAKE sard that a patent law should pay regard to two interestsâ€"those of the pub.â€" lic, and those of the inventor. He did not think, as far as the interests of the public were concerned, it was advisable to give the people ofthe United States the exclusive market in the provinces. It was deserving of consideration whether we would not be better served it the law was so extsnded as to require the patenâ€" tee to bring his invention into practical use in # short time. Mr. CONNELL was in favour of extending the New Brunswick system as far as practicaâ€" ble, and in this coonnection, read a letter from a gentleman in Woodstock (N. B.), saying that "reciprocity in patents is as bencficial to the interests of a people, and as necessary to progress in manufactures as reciproâ€" cit{i in lumber, grain and! woeol is to their trade. 9 Hon. Mr. TILLEY did not consider the operation of the New Brunswick law to have been satisfactoryâ€"it was a tax upon the enerâ€" gies of the people of the Province. § Mr. JOLY gave some instances of fraud un. der the tormer law, and dwelt on the necessity ofso framing the measure as to secure the public. He favoured the idea of allowing inventors assigning their patents. â€"Mr. SMITH (New Brunswick) regretted that the principle of the Bill of New Brunsâ€" wick had not been adopted. In some respects he wished the Bill amended, and would move in the matter when the House went into â€"committee. Hon. Dr. TUPPER regretted that the House should amopt a law less liberal than that in existence in other countries, He had so high an opinion of the genius and talent of the peop!s of the Dominion that he did not beâ€" lieve it necessary to protect ourselves against the inventive genius of persons in other parts of the world. Hon. Col. GRAY was of opinion that the New Brunswick policy was very questionable, and that it was advisable to, allow persons from abroad the privilege of appointing an assignee® or selling out to some person in the country. : f Hon. Mr. GALT urged the «@doption of a provision, by which an Amecrican might assign his patent to a resident of the Proâ€" vinces for a limited term of yoars. > ing rights in the United States was also patented in that Province. . Might not diffiâ€" culties arise under the present Act on that account? Would existing patents be legalized all over the Dominion? . Rorsale by all draggists. For sale by After Oltawa, May 8.
