Canada as one pro rince and its inhabitants, whatever their descent, as one people.While pleased to see the remembrances of borne, end the kindly recollections of the land of onr birth cherished and maintained as n générons sentiment calculated to foster and keep alire a spirit of affection and loyalty toward Great Britain, ve shall alwsys dieconnte-mince any attempt to excite local p ejndices,

encouragement to maanfectaring industry, where this done without affecting disedvantageously other Commercial interests or interfering with the purpose* of a revenue tariff.- The introduotion of aecomulated wealth and productive Labour into Canada we consider vitally necessary to the improvement sad satisfactory progress of the country.We, therefore, advocate a thorough revision of the Emigration Department, and its reorganisation oo a broader and more effective footing la addition to sending agents abroad to make known the petition of Canada, and the fecili ties it offers to the indue trions settler, thus inducing the population of foreign countries to seek our shore*, we should bu prepend, when the Emigrant arrives amongst ns, to afford him every information, direction, and facility for settiiag himself down nt once in our midst, and, for this purpose, we deem it \u2022uceeearj that persons, trustworthy, active, and veil acquainted with the poeitioa, soil, and other qoaittiee of those tracts of the publie lande to which the increasing stream of immigration is to be directed, should bu employed by the department to take charge of newly arrived bodies of immigrants, eoadnettbem to their point of destination, and, in conjunction with the local Crown Lands' Agent, see them properly located, the lines and boundaries of their lands defined, end all other necessary in formation and aesiatanee afforded them.Thus the annoyances, difficulties, and discouragements which necessarily beset a straager in his attempt to settle down into a country strange nod new, would be softened or removed, nod the comfortable settlement of the emigrant in his new home rendered comparatively easy, expeditious, sad satisfactory.In view of the diversion of emigration by the intestine troubles of the neighbouringâtatee, the opportunity which it offers to Canada U> transfer and retain it to herself, end the vast importance of this question to the bast interests of the Country, we think it would be advisable to erect the Ssatgrmtioa De-Department into s distinct bwreeue, with \u2022 Commissioner of Emigration and the necessary official machinery to render it effective, and adequate to the requirements of the country .The necessities of the province have outgrown the present machinery.As a further important auxiliary in developing aod fettling the waste lands of the province, w«> approve of the system of colonisation road* iron the leading pot ou of the cultivated dis triets ntoand through the ansa tiled portions of .he publie lande, whereby those new tracts art rendered sc cessible and the settlers enabled to communicate with the older *et-tlementa and obtain remunerative markets for the surploH products of their industry.In initiating tbit system we think the Government of Canada have acted wisely and welL The expenditors lor this purpose we conceive to bu mosey well applied, mad any action of the Government or Legislature directed to an extension of this system shall have onr cordial sap port.A liberal system of coionisetioa roads we consider as an indispeasihla adjunct to Emigrant agencirs, and the other machinery ol a complete system of Emigration.Every other movement, whether of individuals or asoociatioas, the Government or the Législature, which is cal cola ted to develop too resource#, unprove the condition, and ad vnnoe the prosperity of the country shell have onr cordial co-operation, and whatever may tend to remove local and traditional distinc-ttoaa, destroy prejudices arising from national origin, do away

discontent.Their anxiety to appear superior to party doe* not deter them from seeking keenly its profits.They desire to have a leg on either aide ot the fence all tbe time ; ready for any emergeaey, always protssting their u independence,\u201d yet ever prepared to find fault if the good things ot patronage flow not their way.They a/e free from psny obligations, forsooth, yet invariably claim the beat things at the disposal of tbe party.« Independence\u201d of this stamp is merely a convenient trick\u2014a very stale manœuvre, resorted to by merchantable or timid souls, on one hand to deceive their cunstitoeote, on the other to win (or themselves a temporary advantage, that they may better se-core their price.It were easy to point the moral o' tho remark by a reference to perii* enter

devotion to the interests of hi* constituents., we may be qoite sure tbat the M independence\u201d dodge ia wall nigh prayed out.Mr.Huntingdon\u2019a position is intolligible, though his inquiry about patronage shows that be te hardly ap to its spirit.Dr.Clarke** ** independence,\u2019* on the contrary, is plainly a burlesque\u2014a farce that would bo droll enough, did not his sol-fish points strck out like quills upon ihe porcupine.In the name of common decency, we trust that h* will be allowed to play the ** independent*1 character until he grow ired of it.They who know roe gentleman are not afraid that it will last too long.So far aa tbe Government and their disposal of patronage are concerned, lhe case is nnmisukeably simp!»- The pussesaion of patronage is incident to their position, and for its exercise they are responsible to Par-liameot.If they abuse their opportunities, pervert their power, and in tbe distribution ot favors prove themselves indifferent to pnb lie internets, it ia competent for Parliament to preoounco them unworthy of confidence A decision of that character would bring about a rectification of the wrong, and if the seem hero who whine and whimper because thetr eonvenienee has been disregarded bave faith in the tenablenese of their complaint they will not shrink from tbe lest.In the absence of such action, their tales amount to trash,

Historical Society, last night, by Henry May, Esq., at the rooms of the Society, St.John street.Tbe anbjec.\u2014as we anticipated-.proved interesting, and there was a large attendance, not only from the ranks of the Society itself, but of ladies and friends of the members.Mr.May\u2019s paper displayed tbe fruite of deep study and research, and great care in the arrangement of his arguments in support of bis theory.It extended over every Uranch of the subject and was listened to, throughout, with deep attention.At its close some discussion, in a conversational way, took place on tbe contents of the paper, in wbich Messrs.Langton, Bonchette, Carter, Ashe, and tbe lecturer, took part.A vote of thanks was then unanimously passed to Mr.May, for his able and instrnctive paper, on motion of Lient.Ashe, seconded by Mr.Tate, C.E.Thomas Spullisey and Hugh McLaughlin, laborers, were arrested by Sob-constable Bulger, for loitering and obstructing passengers by fighting in Artillery street.The first named was sentenced to pay a fine of four dollars\u2014a delay of a week for payment being granted ; the second was committed to gaol for one month in defaolt of paying the fine.TAXIS.Eight summonses were paid before entry for $42 35, assessment with costs.Thirty summonses were entered into Court claiming $75 35 for assessment\u2014the defendants making default.One defendant confessed judgment for $1 60 assessment and obtained delay to pay.Four summonses claiming $14 70 for assess ment were not served\u2014the defendants not being found in tbe City.SUNDRT CAUSES.One summons for neglecting to remove snow and ice from the side-walk, within twenty-four hoars after the issuing of the notice to that effect, was settled on payment of costs by the defendant.One summons was issued against a defendant for neglecting to place a light, during the night time, at an obstruction in the street.Another summons was issued against a defendant for riding in the street, on horseback withont being provided with two good bells.vail (as were ours this winter) can wise than perfectly efficient ; and.to show the futility of classification at Lloyds, I may mention that the steamship \" Spartan\" A I 13 yean, (the highest classification which can be given at Lloyd's) loaded at Woolwich alongside of one of our steamers, that was not classed and went down at sea, c rosing the loss of several lives aad a valuable cargo of military stores, while our vessel c*me out to Halifax in safety.I will only add as shewing that the underwriters at Lloyds do not regard the classification in Lloyd\u2019s Book as necessary, steamers not in the Book are insured on equally favorable terms with those classed therein.I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Hugh Allan.Quebec, 2nd April, 1862.THE MONTREAL LINE.To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.Sir,\u2014The Honble.Mr.Simpson does not seem to have got altogether initiated into the misteries of freight by subsidised steamships.He stated what is a fact and well known in Montreal, that two or three bouses secure in advance all the freight of grain or flour that Allans\u2019 ships may rake for two or three months, bat he apparently did not know that the heavy subsidy enables them to tempt the Importers to ] give them all their freight, and they promise them a discount of 30 per cent, on condition that they will not import by any other line.Tbe effect of this is to prevent British owners from sending their steamships to tha St.Lawrence.No one disputes that a subsidy should be given to a Mail Line, but it should be sneb as not to work to the prejudice of the real Interests of tbe Province.Mr.M.C.CAMRaOM presented a petition from M.S.Sleyers against the return of Mr.Biggar, for Ea«t
