Province.After alluding to the thinness of the meeting, which he attributed to the short notice, and the | badness of the weather, he moved a Resolution to the effect\u2014that the Meeting should extend a cordial welcome to Dr.Burns, and use their best endeavours to forward the objects of his mission.A Committee.consisting of R.Romans, G.R.Young, Jas.McNab, and A.McKinlay, Esquires, to which was added the Rev.Ralph Robb, was appointed for these purposes, Upon motion the Chairman left the Chair, which was taken by alderman McKinlay,and after a few observations from Hon.Hugh Bell, in approval of the disruptinn, a ecllection was taken in behalf of the building fund of the Free Church.The blessing was given by the Rev.Ralph Robb, and the meeting broke up.The Rev.Dr.Burns preached oo Sunday morning in St.Matthew\u2019s Church; in the afternoon in the Methodist Chapel in Brunswick-street, to a crowded audience; and in the evening at St.John\u2019s Church, to an attendance equally large, and composed of all denominations.Yesterday morning he preached at Dartmouth, in the Rev.Mr.Romans\u2019 Church, and in the eveuing he delivered a lecture in the Methodist Chapel, Argyle-street.Collections were taken at all these places in behalf of the Free Church.\u2014[ T'imes.] Fire.\u2014 The Coach House and Stables in Gottin- gen Street, belonging to Mr.Donald Sutherland, and rented by officers of the army, were totally cousumed by fire on Tuesday morning last.The horses were saved, but a good deal of provender was lost.Haurrax, May 21.\u2014Tne Navy \u2014We learn that the Illustrious, 72, with some of the other ships of war now in harbour, will proceed immediately lo the West Indies.This movement we understand is called for to protect British interests in the Islands of Cuba and Havanna, where, from the decided hostility evinced towards British interests, a respectable force is rendered necessary.CANADA.ret From the Bathurst Courier.) PUBLIC InPROVEMENTs \u2014 We understand that the Publie Works at the High Falls, on the Madawaska, were completed on the 23d ult.An experiment was made as to the efficacy of the works, by attaching three pieces of timber together, with a flag on each, and passing them through the Slide and over the High Falls, which was most satisfactorily accomplished.The timber reached the boom below on the Caleboga Lake without separating or a single flag being displaced.On Wednesday, the 24th, about 755 pieces passed through with ease and perfect safety, Ln proof of the advantage of these improvements to Lumberers above the High Falls, we may mention that Mr.Conroy, having had some red pine lying over since last Fall, and not being iu a situation 80 as to enable him to take advantage of the Slide, the timber being below it, he was obliged to run it over the Falls at the usual risk.The consequence was that he lost about £100 worth.To contrast this with the safety and success with which timber can now be passed over the Falls,by the means of the improvements just completed, affords a cheering prospect to the enterprising Lumberer afd encouragement to go on.The Lumberers at the High Falls were so satisfied with the work and the experiment made, that they gave a dinner to Mr.Nagle, the Superintendent, to the Paymaster, and some other persons connected with the Works.Our informant, states that the health of the Hon.Mr, Killaly, the President of the Board of Works, M.Cameron, Esq., the Member for Lanark, and Mr.Nagle, was proposed and drank with feelings of lively good-will and effect.\u2014Mr.Nagle in return gave * The Farmers and Lumberers of the Bathurst District,\u201d which was responded to.We conceive that the Farmers of the District, especially those of the back townships, will be much benefited by the improvements on the Madaivaskn, as well as those iu progress on the Calumet.There is every prospect that the Lumber Trade will Le car- ied ou next winter with greater vigor than ever.It is now being discovered that Cavadiau timber oan compete with the Baltic, and the improving state of the Timber Markets at Home, affords a favorable prospect to those whose rafts are on the way to market.Kinastox, May 25th.\u2014Aun Odd Pellow\u2019s Lodge, in connection with the \u201c Manchester Unity,\u201d bas recently been opened in this Town, and at the last

the necessity of another Church.Several persons friendly to the Free Scotch principles endeavored to procure the passing of à resolution, which should pledge the meeting to the procuring a Minister from that Body, but the good sense of the majority prevailed, and it was carried, that as the Presbyterian Charch in Canada was as free as man can make it, and as the Minister of St.Andrew\u2019s Church was from Scotland, the Minister of the intended Church should Le had from the Synod of Ulster.A subscription was then entered into, and «sum, to begin with, of Two Hundred Pounds was made

10th November, 1843, praying * that Her Majesty will be pleased to adopt such measures as may in Her wisdom be deemed expedient to remove the discouragement arising fromthe Duties imposed by the Imperial Act on Works of the class above mentioned, and calculated to promote the dissemination of important knowledge.\u201d The Queen\u2019s solicitude for the general welfare of Her Majesty\u2019s Canadian subjects, and especially for the diffusion of useful knowledge among ail classes of the inhabitants of the Proviuce, would have recommended this subject to the Queen\u2019s most careful attention, even had it not been brought under Her notice with all the authority derived from the opinions and wishes of the House of Assembly, But Her Majesty finds that the Imperial Import Duty, leviable in Canada on Foreign Books originally printed und published in Foreign Countries, ! is the same as on all other manufactures of paper; that is, seven per cent.ad valorem\u2014a duty imposed in the 5th and 6th year of Her Majesty\u2019s Reign, in substitution for a previous duty of thirty per cent.ad valorem.1f any evidence has been collected by the Assembly to show that this low rate of duty materially impedes the introduction into the Province of original French Works, from France, the Queen, on being placed in possession of that evidence, will lose no time in considering how the evil may be best corrected.But in the absence of any such information, Her Majesty being unapprised of the extent, or of the sources of the mischief, is not able to judge by what measures it may be most effectually and properly remedied.I have the honor, &o., (Signed) , STANLEY.Ordered to Le printed by the House of Commons, April, 1844.No.(64.\u2019 vi: May 28\u2014Pubuic DINNER To Sir | Copy of a Despatch from Lord Stanley to the Right 9 honorable ro C.T.Metcalfe, Bart.Downing-street, 29th March, 1844.Sir, 1 have to acknowledge the receipt of your Despateh [No.199] of the 20th ultimo, transmitting the Report of the Chief Agent of Emigration for the past yenr.; I confine myself on this occasion to the question regarding the pecuniary assistance which it will Le proper to give to Canada from the funds of this country towards the relief of sick and destitute emigrants arriving in the province, aod shall reserve for another opportunity such remarks as I may find it necessary to offer upon the report made Ly Mr.Buchanan of the emigration of the past season.1t appears that the emigration to Canada during the last year was less, by 51 per cent., than in the preceding year, while the estimate having been framed on the assumption that it would continue the same, was intended to provide against the demands for assistance of double the number of emigrants that actually arrived.On examining the return of the expenditure in assistance during the past year, I perceive that, although the number of emigrants for whom provision was made has diminished one-half, the sum expended has been equal to the vote, the balance being only £27, and that the number of cases in which assistance has been afforded, amounted to 2] ,- 283, being larger than the whole number of emigrants that arrived in the colony.; i For this increased expenditure in proportion to the number of emigrants, the agent-general assigns two reasons ; first, an increased demaud for assistance in consequence of the representations of settlers to their friends, that on their arrival they could practise deception, and thus be conveyed west at the expense of the Government; and secondly, the additional charges now made by the forwarding establishments at Montreal.But it seems to me by no means improbable that this increased expense may be explained by supposing that the samo emigrants Montreal and Kingston, and were thus assisted two or three times -on their journey up the country.The observations made by the agent-General as to the iil effects of the pecuniary assistance given to persons representing themselves to be without the means of defraying the expense of their inland journey are very important, and show the tendency of such assistance to prevent proper provision being made by individuals for the wants of emigrants ou their arrival, 1 do uot on that account consider it neces sary to withdraw the proportionate contribution which has hitherto been made from Imperial funds towards this object ; adverting, however, to the great probable decrease upon the number of emigrants which was estimated for last year, the vote fur that assistance may, I consider, with propriety be reduced this year to £2,000.1 have therefore given directions for placing upou the estimate for the service of emigration for the year 1844-5, the sum of £2, ON0, in aid of tho provincial tax upon emigrants, and £1,500 for agency.I have, &ec.[signed] STANLEY.QUEBEC: FRIDAY, 31st MAY, 1844.LATEST DATES.From London.Froni New York.May 27 From Liverpool.| From Halifax.vet oe.May 21 Ï From

states that the Rev.Mr, EcerToN Ryerson has not accepted the office of Assistant Superintendant of Education.He announces a defence of Sir CHARLES METCALFE against the attacks of his late advisers.The

yesterday, between 10 and 11 o\u2019clock, and lasted about two hours.Tt completely encircled the sun, had all the colours of the rainbow, and a second, as in the case of strong rainbows, appeared at some distance.The Full Moon occurs this evening, and perhaps we may have a change.It can hardly be for the worse, particularly for settlements depending in a great degree on the crops from winter and spring choppings.The following from the Liverpool ALsI0N of the 29th April last, will give some idea of the trouble Ministers have in supporting ¢ their influence,\u2019 in England.Yet in that country there are many thousands of men of education, who live independently on the immense income of their capital or landed estates, and are able to afford part of their time to the public, without any view of emolument, In the colonies there are very few persons of that description, and every person who obtains ¢ a little learning,\u2019 thinks himself above being employed in productive industry, and seems determined to live, in some way or other, at the public expense.Hence the cry in favor of « ministerial patronage,\u201d and the ower of creating and distributing offices and emo- uments, at pleasure ; thus inviting an appetite which ¢ grows with what it feeds on,\u201d and which would soon reduce the industrious classes to litile better than a state of pauperism, which the home countries have not been able to escape, with the accumulated capital of ages, and a degree of intelligence and industry superior to that of any other part of the world.\u201c The difficulties of conducting the goyern- ment of this country must, indeed be great, if we only look at the unconscionable maws of the people whose support has to be conciliated by the Minister of the day.Take a case which is even

Payne\u2019s Hotel.His ohject in visiting Quebec is to distribute to the subscribers to that paper an engraving of \u201cSir Walter Scot's Monument.\u201d This is a picture of large dimensiors, and of beautiful execution, and the subject is on which must possess interest with all who are fam: liar with the genius which it is designed to commemorate.Those who prejera copy of the Albim Gallery in preference, or of the portrait of Washington, can have their choice ; and whichever the three may be chosen, a subscriber, by paying two dollars, can procure the other two.Eight dollars will pay a year\u2019s subscription to the Albion, an admirable journal, and entitle the person so paying to the Albion Gallery, (of six engravings) a copy of Scott\u2019s Monument, and Washington\u2019s portrait.\u2014 (Mercury.) mt [To the Editor of The Quebec Gazelle,] Sir,\u2014Urder the form of resolutions, appears in your paper of the 17th instant, the opinion of à couple of dozen of persons, styling themselves Bar Association, referring to the inefficiency of our Justices of the Peace, emanating from a want of common sense to decide between right and wrong; also expressing that in consequence His Excellency the Governor General should appoint one from among themselves as a Magistrate, in whom only, in their opinion, wisdom is to be found.In the first resolution, they state that important questions arise, which none, no, not one in the district of Quebec can give an- equitable opinion upon, excepting only, the twenty-four persons composing the Bar Association, Let me beg to differ with those self-opinionatel men, and to state for their information, that, itis not necessary to go beyond the skirts of the city of Quebec, to find humble tradesmen, equally as con- petent as any of the Bar Association to form alegal, equitable opinion on any subject brought before the Magistrates of the Quarter Sessions ; and that the rights of suitors are as likely to be justly respected as by any one of the Bar Association, and with less chance of suitors having heavy fees to pay.In the second resolution the members of the Bar Association regret the absence of one of their body as Presiding Magistrate, No doubt they do! but what do honest suitors say ?why, they thank God that there is one Court in this city in which they have every chance of receiving unalloyed, speedy justice, and also without the cost of a self-opinion& ted stipendiary magistrate and his trail.The third resolution claims from His Excellency the Governor General the redress of a grievance severely felt by ull classes of Her Majesty\u2019s subjects What grievance ?why, that of not having a lawye! a sitting magistrate at the expense to the people of £500 a-year.The Bar Association had better confine its remarks to its own class, and permit the remaining classes judge for themselves, as their feelings and interest are not in unison with those of the Bar Association; willingly would they, if they possibly could, throw off the yoke which the Bar Association holds around their necks ; therefore, it would be more advisable to petition His Excellency ths Governor General cause to be brought before the Legislature as a G7 ernment measure, a law to abolish the legal profes sion, also a law of forms or files to regulate pleadings in Court, clothed in the simple languages of It country only : so that persons of the humblest cap city may plead their own cause, or justly speakirh tell their own unvarnished simple tale, from whit alone, truth can be obtained.Then would His Et cellency the Governor General find the great obs! cles to his peaceable government of this fine Proviacé vanish like the morning mist before the rising si this country become a Paradise on earth, and e multitude would indeed raise their hands to the Mo* High invoking of him to pbur his blessings upon Excellency\u2019s head.we Tl Ti His the vise whol glan tainé N.our publi on it Qu Co cial | the 3 into and 0
