harsh and unconstitutional spirit in which these prosecutions have been con ducted your committee have hitherto felt that they should best and most usefully dis charge their duty by studiously abstain ing from consenting upon the official conduct of individuals but it is impossible for them not to call the serious and imme diate attention of his majestys govern ment to these allegations your committee also feel bound to urge upon his majestys government in the most especial manner their opinion thutit is necessary that a strict instant enquiry should take place into all the circumstances attending these prosecutions with a view to giving such instructions upon them as shrill be consistent with justice and policy your committee learn with the grea test concern that disputes have lately

to present our reader with the report of the house of commons on the affaire of the canadas which we copy from a supplement to the montreal herald this documeut we have no doubt will he perused with much interest by our readers it is evidently drawn up with every wish to meet the wishes and conciliate the prejudices of the people generally the imperial parliament was prorogued bycommissiononthe23th july his ma jestys speech at the close of the session will be found in a proceeding column we reget to observe that the crops have suffered much from rains in great britain this season these circumstances 1 think it a question deserving some consideration from an ho nest mind whether it he altogether right to join in tbe laudatory language usually pour ed forth at meetings of auxiliaries concern ing tbe london society while not a sylla ble is said in commendation of the one in edinburgh da laudem cui laas debetur it does appear to me standing as these two societies now do in diametrical oppositoo to each other on grounds known to all that to praise and support the one is to dero gate from the merits of the other if i am wrong here i shall be set right if it be true what nobody denies that the edin burgh society has rendered such an ira- eortant service to the christian public as as been alluded to is this the society to which we ought to give the unkindly thrust i trow not i for one never shall i will say that the merits of the edinburgh society are such as ougbt not to be passed over in silence i will say that it is a so ciety which deserves well of all good men and i trust that there will be found in king ston a little band it may be but little who will shew a right sense of its deserv- ings by connecting themselves with it and forming an auxiliary 1 know someof the heads of it they are estimable meothey have never done any thing to destroy the confidence of christians in them they dearly love all who draw their descent as many of us here do from the scottish soil and i feel confident that they will gladly and efficiently assist us in the prosecution of the bible cause from a correspondent his excellency the earl of dalhousie sailed from

these hostilities and will omit no effort of friendly interposition to restore peace the determination of the powers par ties to the treaty of the 6th july to effect the objects of that treaty remains un changed his imperial majesty has consented to waive the exercise in the mediterranean sea of any rights appertaining to his im perial majesty in the character of a bellige rent power and to recal the separate instructions which had been eiven to thp commander of his naval b orces in that sea directing hostile operations against the ottoman porte his majesty will therefore continue to combine his efforts with those of the king of france and his imperial majesty for the purpose of carrying into complete ex ecution the stipulations of the treaty of london his majesty commands us to acquaint you that his majesty had every reason to hope when he last addressed you that the arrangements which had been made for ad ministering the government of portugal until the period at which the emperor of brazil should have completed his abdication of the throne of portugal would have secured the peace and promoted the bap piness of ft country in tbe welfare of which his majesty has ever taken the deepest interest the just expectations of his majesty havebeen disappointed and measuies have been adopted in portugal in disregard of the earnest advice and repeated remon strances of his majesty which have com- telled his majesty and the other powers of europe acting in concert with his majesty to withdraw their representatives from lisbon 14 gentlemen of the house of commons we are commanded

attorney general at the last york assizes and that the conduct of mr willis has been disapproved of while that of the attorney general has met with the decided approval of those to whom the matter was referred several articles are this week postponed for want of room for the chronicle it seems that some attempts are about to be made to revive the cause of bible circu lation in tins place this is praiseworthy as it may be presumed that the merits of the british and foreign bible society will have ample justice done them by the very able person who comes hither as their a- gent it may be but fair to give some ac count of the merits of certain other bible societies which exist in great britain it is a certain fact that the scottish soci eties almost universally and many english also have withdrawn themselves from the parent institution it is an equally certain fact that the reason of their withdrawing was a very grievous misapplication of the funds of the society by tbe lon don committee long persevered in and relinquished at last if indeed it be relinquished with a bad grace i chal lenge any one to deny these facts if they can but i have something more to say it is a fact equally certain with those al ready stated and i would callthe attentiou of the kingston subscribers specially to the fact that the committee of the edinburgh auxiliary now the edinburgh bible soci ety composed let me say it since it is the custom to quote authorities elsewhere of some of the ablest and most upright men in great britain had the merit of laying open the melancholy maladministration of the london committee and forcing them into that abandonment of it they uow profess to have made i say forced for those at all acquainted with the history oi bible societies tu
