ocoimell tusi went into the history of ili connexion between the two countries in order to phew that ruiland had ar- qoired no ritrht by rouqnerf or ouhirwixc in supreme povr over ireland tin irish were an iiideikmillcnl iionple and although they wished tn lie governed y bnclish laws they placed ihuinrlvcs under ihe control of a separate ami distinct parliament in tin reign of james i the inhabitants were amalgamated under our government but this object ww effected by the inot inhuman cruelties and by setting the strom against the weak ireland continued to be the iein of english injustice and oppression until 1778 when several of her people were admitted within the pale of the constitution but 1983 was the epoch of her regeneration from then the princi ple of legislative and judicial independence was first unequivocally recognised the rights which ehc gained at this epoch and the possession of which gave a powerful impulse o the prosperity of the country were interfered with by the english parlia ment which domineered over the irish legislature in the most corrupt unconstitutional and despotic manner mr o council next wenton to show that the irish parliament was not liable to the reproaches that were so unsparingly heaped upon it he ad mitted that it was a boroughmongering parliament that forty boroughs had been created in one day in order to swamp opposition but he challenged a comparison between its act and those of the eng lish parliament of the same period he quoted the eulogistic terms bestowed on it by lord chancellor clare by the present lord chancellor imuukett and by earl then mr grey he then argued at great length that the irish parliament had no right real ur implied to deprive the people of their legis lature they could make laws hut they could not transfer to other hands the prerogative of a legisla tive assembly he quoted the strong protest recor ded by lord plunkeu ogeitvt the right assumed by the then irish parliament and adverted to the style in which mr urattau had bewailed the extinction of the native parliament he had watched over its cradle and followed it to its grave mr o- connell argued that the union could not be support ed on the ground of a contract because the records of the period showed that it was brought about by ty ranny bloodshed treachery and oppression he believed that the object of the union was to obtain the revenues of ireland for english purposes at least the event showed that cupidity had given the keenest edge to the bayonet the rebellion he conteuded originated wttlt the jacobins in the north hut what wew they us exports were of row mate rial and k- imports of manufactured goods the remembrance of the mean by which the union was produced must ever rankle in the breast of irish men he highlv priced tliti connexion wjih great britain it was said that he nought tirntioli lle did iiul lie whs for repeal because repeal would prevent separation lie could tell tlltf ad vantage to be d rived from n parliament in ireland but he knew of no utlvniltjitm lo he derived from a dissolution of the connexion with england bur he saw great advantages tube derived from ihioml- timtauee why then was

directed have as jet made little proercss in their labors and although so much interest is lelt by a very influential portion of the mercantile work in every proceeding rela tive to the canadas i believe i may safely say that no satisfactory conclusion is anticipated from the laborers of the present committee many ru mours are circulated as to the intentions ol minis ters but several of them deserve little notice as they are founded upon slight authority the idea however which i mentioned to you was entertained of uniting the two legislature of the canada is still talked of and one of the best informed individ uals in canada affairs informed me today that it is understood government have it in contemplation to take the control of the money matters of lower canada into their own hands as far as regards pay ment of the judges and other public servants tins ower was i believe vested in the legislature of the lower province by act of parliament and of course before government can carry into effect the change contemplated that act must be repealed the opinion p that so far from such t measure on the part of the miniitry removing the causes 01 dis content which at present exist it would on the con trary greatly add to the flame and great anxiety must therefore be felt for the decision which may be come to by the cabinet in mercantile matters the greatest stagnation pre vails

the financial terms upon which the union was based also teemed with injustice the proportion of taxes c were 217 o ireland and 15i7tha to england the increase of irish imports and exports had been referred to as a proof of prosperity but this statement was irrc- concileable witli the fact that the revenue collected at the customhouses was go small that in many places they did not cover the expense and govern ment had bceu obliged to consolidate the boards be cause ireland could notpay her share ireland could not pay her taxes ave millions of new taxes had beeu imposed and tne revenue became less than it wa before these were laid on- the absentee rents nvcre also bent to england whose revenue they im- ufuvedi in the reduction oftaxc ton whatever advantage might accrue to england was complete ly lost to ireland mr oconncli proceeded to conteod that the legislative were as unjust as the financial terms that instead of one huudied mem bers the just proportion as had been shown by newenhauis table was 165 since the union the insurrection act had existed from 1910 to itfu5 again from 1807 to 1810 from 1814 to 1818 from 1 to 182s aud the first algerine act from 1823 to 1828 which was followed by another algerine act and then came the coercion bill which was in force even at the present moment thus for more than a quarter of a century after the union were penal statute successfully passed to oppress the irish people in reference to the immediate eflect the hod member endeavored to show that since lite union absenteeism had greatly increased that the acale of taxation had been augmented tint the relief from this burden had not been awarded in equal proportion with the relief given to england and that whatever diminution of expenditure took iplace weot solely to the credit of the british cxclie- qtrer in order to show the elfeccs the union had upon the great bulk of the irish people he refit ml to the following table as exhibiting the ratio of con

of may has brought a de tailed account of proceedings there relative to this object the native as well as the european inhabitants of that presidency have it appears been long desi rous of opening a steam communication with europe and have held several meetings on the subject the result of which was the appointment of a committee to ascertain the best mode of putting such a plan into operation by establishing in the first instance a eteam conveyance between hombay and suez at a general meeting of the supportersof the plan the committee reported the success of their labors and recommended an appeal to the british commu nity of india particularly to raise by subscription a sum sufficient for the cost of one vessel and that until a constant communication with suez had been fairly established any expectation of forming a con necting link between alexandria and malta would be premature but at the same time they were en- abled to say from their correspondence with par ties in england that this measure would speedily follow ihe success of the first part of the plans the total estimate for thce voyages each year to and from suez including pay to men c and in fact every expenditure would not the report stated exceed 165 thousand rupees while the re ceipts estimating ot i ly 25 passengers each double trip at 1000 rupees each postage of 15000 let ters annually the
