He could not understand for what reasons the Government had thought fit to adopt such a retrog-ade policy The ground on which ihe Government came to a conclusion to re-impose the toils appeared to be founded on the report of the Commissioner of Public Works, published ;ome weeks ago, and found to contain serious mistakes in calculations.The Canal Returns, which formed the real basis on which the Government should have come to such a conclusion, bad not yet been published.They had not yet been laid before the House, and consequently the necessary information on which a right conclusion could be formed was withheld.The Canal Returns, the House was told, were so full of errors that they could not he laid before the House, and consequently they were kept back.He coulo not understand wby this necessary information was kept back ?Why was not the House allowed to j tdge as to the propriety or impropriety of abolishing tber tolls ?He would not dwell on this subject ; but he would sav that in his opinion ihe errors in those returns were not material to the point at issue.There might horrors in lumber returns\u2014but this could not affect the question of tolls on Western ; roduce\u2014since it was to secure the great trade of the West that tbe tolls were first abolished.(Hear, hear.) It might be very well for the Commissi ner of Public Works to have peculiar views on the subject under consideration - but those views, besides not being generally shared in, were altogether erroneous and led to wrong conclusions.(Hear.) To shew that the idea which was entertained of the disastrous effect of the re-imposition ol , tbe canal tolls was not a mere bug-bear, he tMr.Galt) would read an exiract from a re cent Kingston paper, which shewed that tbe policy of the Government was already pro ducing the expected re-mlts.The extract to which he referred was as follows:\u2014\u201cOne \u201c of tbe blessings of Ministerial legislation 1 \u201ccame to light yesterday.A firm in Chicago 11 partially contracted to ship, this spring, to \u201c Montreal, 80,900 bushels of corn, to be trau-v \u201c shipped at Kingston by Messrs.Holcomb A \u201c Cowan's barges.The re-imposition of tbe \u201ccanal tolls has annulled tbe contract, and \u201cthe 80,000 bushels will go to New York via \u201c Buffalo.Thus the river freight (and per-\u201c haps the lake freight) and tbe ocean freight, u together with commission and other \u201cetceteras are lost to Canada.The canal \u201ctolls would am Mint to rather more than \u201c$1,000; but as the money will not be paid, *' tbe Province gains nolbing.Probably \u201cif 'he facts could be made known, a \u201cdozen otner instances of loss to the ' shipping interests might be instanced.\u201d There could scarcely be a question that a large amount of trade would be lost to Canada, by the re-imposiiion of the tolls.The Govern meal said that taking off the tolls bad had no effect in increasing the trade, and that, by-putting them on aga n, they may keep the trade and have the tolls too.He vmtured to predict that, if they entertained this idea, tbey would certainly be disappointed.Hon.gentlemen migblsay, if they choose, that the abolition of ilte tolls had bad notbieg to do with the increase of the trade down the St.Law rence.But no one could doubt, who looked at the quantities of wheat and flour and Indian corn which had passed through the Welland and St.Lawrence Canals that, whatever had been tbe cause, (here had been an enormous increase of the trade down tbe St.Lawrence : and what bad been tbe view taken of this in to be without those public works which we at (he Western States 7 Had the people there present possess, and to have saved tbe outlay, looked upon the exemption from tolls as no than to bave expended the money and erected boon ?They were the parties whose produce those works.The Finance Minister\u2019s argu- ; w»s to pay these tolls, and surely it was meat was that those public works were 0t importance to know what was their erected too soon.To this he (Mr.Galt) view of tbe matter.Did we not know that, could not agree.Tbe true policy of the coun- | since the tolls had been taken off, the best try was the policy of improvement\u2014not a j possible feeling had been evinced by the peo-¦land still policy.Il the duty, then, of pi* of those States, and an increased disposi bicb bad authorised the '\t\u2014 \u2014 \u2014o-«¦ -i\u2014 a.»- public works to act as measures to that point.The Opposition had felt that it was proper that the Government, especially as a new Government, should have every fair opportunity of putting their policy before the Hquse and before tbe country.That opportunity bad certainly been allowed them to an extent which suruassed, he believed, the forbearance ever before shewn an Opposition in this country.(Hear, bear.) In uking that course, they had been acting in what they believed to be the interest of the country.In a period of doubt and difficulty and danger, it was most undesirable that tbey should have constant political jars.But there were occasions when it became absolutely necessary to ascertain how far a Government were entitled to the confidence they claimed at the hands of the House.And when we found that the policy of the Government was one which had damaged our credit, and damaged the reputation this Province was wont to enjoy for fair play and honest dealing, and when we found, in sddition to that, that they were proposing to tax our industry to the utmost in every possible shape, he thought the time bad come when issue must lie joined witb these hon.gentlemen.(Opposition cheers and Ministerial coanter-cl)eer8 ) Tbe time had come when it must be clearly understood who were responsible for the policy which was to be carried out in this Proviuce.It was one thing to allow a policy to be fairly brought before the people, and another thing to allow it to be carried out, for in that case the responsibility would be shifted from the Government to the Opposition.When the Government announced a policy which the Opposition thought injurious to tbe best interests of the country, it was their duty aa public men to oppose it.(Cheers.) The present Government took office in consequence of ihe vote on the Militia Bill.In taking office they ought to have known or believed that they were able to defeat the late Government on a motion of want of confidence.If they did not believe that, they were not justified in taking office, for in that case they would have been Uking office without having the confidence of tbe House.(Hear, hear.) Was it possible they would say that, finding some hon.gentlemen on the Ministerial side were opposed to the passing of the Militia Bill, they allied themselves with those gentlemen for tbe moment, to obtain the paltry triumph of defeating tbe Ministry on a catch vote?If it was in that way tbey got into office, they were guiitv of a grave political crime, for by the rejection of that Bill they had seriously damaged the credit of the country abroad.It was all very well for hon.gentlemen opposite to smile at the idea of the rejec-lion af the Militia Bill having producefl this effect abroad, but it must be remembered that up to this moment we had no other Militia Bill carried in its place.When the bill ot hon.gentlemen opposite did come up for discussion, he would be prepared to show that it was lacking\u2014not lacking in those points which were objected to in the bill ot bis hon.friend beside bim (Hon.J.A.Macdonald), a bill which would have called the Militia actually into the field, and given tbe people of the country some real means of defence\u2014but objectionable because it does not call tbe Militia into the field, because it leaves them at borne, and makes no provirion for getting them ont when they are wanted, and because it makes the volunteers discontented\u2014because it leaves us without a militia, and leaves us none but discontented volunteers to defend us.[Hear, hear.) When the time came, the Opposition would see if they could not amend line did not say reject it, for they did not desire to take tVe position assumed last year by hon.gentleman opposite.[Hear, bear.) The next step that was taken by hon.gentlemen opposite was to repudiate the arbitration with the Grand Trunk, and the effect of that, also, was certainly most injurions to tbe credit of this country.He would appeal to the hon.mem her for South Oxford whether, coupled with the rejection of the Militia Bill, it had not a bad effect in England.Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014With the Grand Trunk people it certainly bad.Hon.Mr.GALT.\u2014And it is well understood the Grand Trunk people are not an unin-fluential body in England.Hon.Mr.BROWN.\u2014Certainly not.Hon.Mr.GALT.\u2014And when, coincidently with their dissatisfaction, you find the public generally indicating a withdrawal of confidence, as shown by a fall in ou- securities, you can see that step on the pert of the Government was not calculated to promote tbe credit of the country.Hon.Mr.BROWN.\u2014That was the Barings and Glyns.Hon.Mr.GALT went on to say that he was glad this false st p had been to some extent retrieved by the introduction of a bill to settle the Postal subsidy.He next referred to the Intercolonial Railway, and would ask the House and the country just to consider for a moment what tbe result of tbe transactions connected with that undertaking bad been.(Hear, hear.) Almost the first act of the Government was to offer to pledge an immense portion of tbe revenue of the country on behalf of the proposed work\u2014 five-twelfths of the cost, besides tbe outlay required to keep the rood in working order ; and all this, too, at a period when the House was called upon to tax tbe poor backwoodsman\u2019s boots and shoes, and to lay a burthen upon a variety of other articles of consumption.The result of the whole negotiation was calculated to throw great discredit upon the Province.[Hear, hear ) Tbe publication of the cotres-poodence was of a nature to make any Canadian feel ashamed.Not only bad it placed us in a bad position with the mother-country, in consequence of the transactions with the Imperial Government, but in tbe Lower Provinces it had also tended to injure our reputation.[Hear ) In fact, throughout the whole affair, ibe stigma of bad faith was unfortunately cast upon us.For tbe credit of tbe country it was necessary we should have tbe matter discus ed, in order to rid ourselves of the imputation which unfortunately attached to our name.And be (Mr.Galt) did hope that, in the course of the discussion on the subjects now introduced, the House would have an opportunity of declaring whether the hon.gentlemen who were now in power really possessed the confidence of tbe country.(The hon.gentleman then sat down amid loud cheering.) Hon.Mr.BROWN said\u2014At this late hour I could not think of detaining the Hcuse for more than a few rainâtes.And yet I would not like that the House should adjourn without having one or two words said from this side on behalf of those members who, while they generally vote with the Government, must dissent from some portion of the policy propounded here to-night.Before referring to these matters, however, I wish to say that I totally differ from the hon.gentleman opposite [Mr.Galt) in many of the positions he has taken.It would be impossible to enter on these points to-night.It would take too long too discuss them and to shew wherever the hon.gentleman was wrong ; but, at a future stage, I shall take an opportunity of doing so.I could not but feel that tbe hon.gentleman, on many points, referred to myself, as well as to the Minister of Finance., attacking the positions I formerly held.The financial principles 1 foimerly held I bold still; and I am as ready as ever to meet the honorable gentleman in defence of them.[Cheers ) With regard to the statement of my hon.friend, the Minister of Finance, notwithstanding all that lias fallen from the boa.gentleman opposite [Mr.Galt), I am free to say that in the statement we have beard tonight, I find a great improvement upon the statements made on similar occasions in past years.[Cheers.] It was gratifying to have tbe whole case placed so fairly before the House.Possibly there was some ground for the charge brought against my hon.friend, that he did not carry out exactly the same principles in balancing his own operations as he applied to tbe revenue and expenditure of previous years.Hon.Mr.HOWLAND\u2014I have carried out precisely the same principle in all cases.Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014Then I have not properly understood the hon.gentleman while I was taking down his figures.Moreover, sir, I could not agree witb the Minister of Finance when he claimed a reduction of $991,000 on the expenditures of 1863 over those of 18C2.There were several portions of that amount which it would be quite delusive to represent as savings.For instance, there was an item of $223,467 of advances.Hon.Mr.HOWLAND-I merely stated that the expenditure would be less by that of the deductions he has drawn are incorrect, at all event* he has put the facts befoie us correctly.He has told us our whole obligations, when they have to be met, and where he pro poses to get the funds to meet them.I do not think that in past years we have had this stated to us with anything like the clearness that we have had it to-night from tny bon.friend.[Hear, hear.] Another thing for which we have to thank him is, that he declares his determination to make the revenue ami expenditure meet, and that he will not borrow money to make up annual deficits on the ordinary transactions of any one year.I think there is very little force in the charge of the hon.gentleman opposite (Mr.Galt) that the Finance Minister has departed from this principle, because he proposes to borrow a few hundred thousand dollars.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014Millions.Hon.Mr.BRQWN\u2014Not so ; it is a perversion of the statement of the Finance Minister to say so.What my hon.friend (Mr.Howland) said {ras that there were debentures to be renewed of $1,200,000, and that he intended to issue new debentures for this purpose, and one million and a half further to cover the large debt which the Ikn.gentleman opposite (Mr.Galt) left him as a legacy to discharge.But, Mr.Chairman, while it is exceedingly gratifying that the Finance Minister should declare his determination that no annual deficits shall hereafter be met by borrowing monei, I am free to confess that the hon.gentleman opposite [Mr.Galt] prefers a most damagiug charge against the Minister of Finance, when he compares his Budget with the langnege which used to be held by bon.gentlemen on this side, when we sat on the Opposition Benches, as to the extravagance of the late Government, and our earnest declarations that great retrenchment might and ought to be made.[Hear, hear.] I am free to confess that the financial statement of my bon.friend, the Minister of Finance, is one which was entirely unexpected by me, and which I believe will not be satisfactory to the country, and ought not to be satisfactory to this House.[Hear, near.] I do think the amount of retrenchment he has shewn is a mere bagatelle, in comparison witb what we had a right to expect at his bands I am very far from prepared to take the ground of the hon.gentleman opposite (Mr.Galt) that no important retrenchment can be made.I think quite the contrary.Bull agree with bim that our mercantile affairs and industrial interests are not just now in a very prospérons condition, and I do think that this is not the lime when new taxes to the amount of $2,300,-000 should be imposed on tbe people\u2014except on the most urgent necessity.Hon.Mr.HOWLAND\u2014The new taxes are only a little over one million.Hon.Mr.BROWN There are to be new Customs duties beyond those of 1862 of $884,-000 ; new Excise duties $564,000.Hon.Mr.HOWLAND - Not that amount of new Customs.Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014That is the amount which the bon.gentleman said would be levied this year, in excess of the re eipts last year, by the additional Cnsloms duties imposed last session and proposed to be levied now ; an 1 is .bis not then an increase of tbe burdens which the people have heretofore been bearing to the extent named ?Tbe new taxes, as l took down the hon.gentleman's figures, were\u2014Customs, $884,-000 ; Excise, $564,000; Public Works, $217,000; tobacco, $231,000 ; petroleum, $3 ,000 ; leather, $273,000; bank imposts, $134,000.This makes a total of over $2,300,000.(Hear, hear.) And I do say that, in our present position, in the present depressed state of our commercial and industrial interests, it is not right - it is totally indefensible\u2014to impose so enormous an amount of new taxation, until every single shilling that can possibly be avoided has been struck from the expenditure.(Hear, hear.) I venture to say, sir, that hon.gentlemen on tbe Treasury Benches will not be able to justify themselves to the country for imposing these new taxes, while they expend $600,-000 on unnecessary buildingsat Ottawa, $150,-000 on colonization roads, $600,000 for Seigniorial Tenure redemption, $10,000 for tbe Intercolonial Railway, and many other expendi-torea which might be avoided in part, if not in whole, and which certainly might be postponed until the condition of tbe country rendered our people more able to bear the burden.My hon.friend should have cut off from the expenditure every penny that could be spared whatever the inconvenience, and\tthen have imposed taxation for\tthe\tbal- ance, so that the revenue might be made to equal tbe expenditure withont the borrowing of money.[Cheers.] I have deemed it necessary to express these views at the very outset, after tbe Finance Minister has made his statement.I believe be has acted with perfect candour, and that he has desired to do what he conceived right.But I do not think that be has come up to the exigencies of the situation.I think he has shrunk from the plain duty that was before him, to carry the pruning-knife into every branch of the public expenditure.I trust he will yet reconsider some of the most objectionable features of the Budget he has placed before us, and that he will pause before entering at tneb a time as this on so lavish an expenditure as he proposes.[Chee.r] The Committee then rose and reported progress, and the House adjourned at 1 A.M.turn to an address praying for copies of con- J tracts, Ac., with Messrs.Sinclair ami Skelsey.CONTRACTS FOR P » LI AMENT ARY AM» ntraBT-M-NFAL Bl'ILDINUS.Mr.CRAWFORD moved for an address to His ExceMency the Governor General, praying that he will cause to be laid before this House copies of the contracts recently entered into for the completion of the Parliamentary nnd De partmemal Buildings in Ottawa, and also of the Bonds given hy the contractors and their sureties for the performance of these works.The hon gentleman, in introducing the motion, commented upon the importance of having the information which was demanded \u2014 inasmuch as it was said that the contract gave tbe Government the right to stop the works at any moment, so that It might be four, six or even ten years before they wero completed.Hoa.J.S.MACDONALD replied, contending that there was no delay whatever on the part of the Government, and that the buildings would be ready for the reception of the Legislature for the second session from tbe present.Hon.Mr.BROWN said that if it co Id be conclusively shewn that Parliament could meet in Ottawa next year, or even the year after, then he would entirely agree with the suggestion that the Legislature should remain here in the interval.But was this possible, or was it nil probable?It was scarcely be coming in a retrenchment Government to act.in great haste, in voting money for these buildings, after the statement which had been submitted last night.[Hear, hear ] He [Mr.Brown] did not think that any architect, or any person well versed in these matters, could he got to say that these buildings would he ready even in three sessions.Should such be the case, he [Mr.Brown] believed it would be the greatest injustice to Upper Canada not to remove the Legislature to Toronto during the long interval which must necessarily elapse.There was a fair bargain, for the alternate system between Quebec and Toronto ; and Toronto was entitled under these circumstances that the bargain should be adhered to.[Hear, hear.] It was nonsense, for the Hon.Attorney-General West, to talk about staying here, with a view to retrenchment, after the budget of last night.Mr.SCOTT rend a resolution passnd during the season of 1859, to shew that the Government whs then to proceed to Quebec, there to remain until the Ottawa buildings were ready.Hon.Mr.BROWN said that the hon.gentleman was mistaken.It was only intended to remain for the fixed period of four years.Mr.SCOTT replied, s'ating that Mr Fuller had told him that the Parliament buildings could be ready in 16 or 18 months, and the departmental buildings much earlier.Mr McGreevv had also expressed himself fully confident that ihe buildinsrs could be ready tor the second session from this.Mr.MACKENZIE argued that the buildings were not in such an advanced condition as the hon.gentleman who last spoke had stated.It was altogether impossible they could be ready at tbe time slated.He thought, therefore, ns a matter of justice, that they should go to Toronto in the interval.Dr.CLARKE suggested an addition to the motion, so as to cover all correspondence be tween the department and the contractors re lative to fhe renewal of the contract; all correspondence between the Exec itive and the department on the same subject, as also any Orders in Council.The mover made the addition as suggested.Mr.JONB3 was happy for once to agree with hon.gentlemen opposite, al\u2019hough it was a pleasure which he d.d not often enjoy He did think, however, that in our present financial position it would be wrong to go to Toronto.The statements of the hon.member for Lambton [Mr.Mackenzie] were surely not to be taken in opposition to tfie testimony of architects ai d other skilled persons, who, from their \u2022 profession, were best enabled to judge, as well as the statements of Ministers themselves, who were also in a position to know how far the works were advanced.But the hon.member for Lambton was often mistaken.Last session he bad sunken of the pionosed Ottawa Commission as being merely a matter of some few days.(Hear, hear, and laughter.) When he had been culled before the Commission ns a witness, lie was in no hurry to come away - in lact, it had taken him a few weeks to do so.(Laughter.) Hon.gentlemen talked about there being no suitable buildings fur the accommodation of His Excellency at Ottawa ; but those who spoke in this strain were persons who bad never been there.The fact was, that there were splendid buildings iu Ottawa\u2014buildings which were fit for princes.He (Mr.Jones) hoped the Government would sustain tbe position they had assumed upon this question ; and he could assure them that they would have his support therein, as indeed on any question on which thev were right.Hon.Mr.BROWN moved for the appoint ment of a Select Committee to enquire and report when \u2019.be Parliamentary and Departmental Buildings would be ready.There was some conversation on this motion, at the close of which the hon.mover allowed it to stand over.Mr.CRAWFORD S motion was then carried.Hon.J.S.MACDONALD was not prepared t>> pay whether, for r»-u-jns of state, it might !¦ together advisabl ¦ td not as yet brought any importent mea ' sures to that stage, wi.en they required to be met either bt tbe assent or dissent of the House.But it was not the fault of the Opposi that the whole $991,000 was genuine retrenchment.Hon Mr.HOWL AND\u2014Tbe actual savings I estimated at $607,000.Hon.Mr.BROWN-It was difficult of course to catch all tbe hou.gentleman\u2019s figures accn Wednesday, April 29tb, 18G3.Tbe SPEAKER took the Chair at three o\u2019clock.ACADEMY OF LACOLLB.On motion of Mr.BOURASSA, a bill to in-coporate the Academy of Lacolle was read a first time.LANCASTER TURNPIKE ROAD.Mr.POWELL asked whether the Government is about to construct a Turnpike Road near the Village of Lancaster, in the County of Glengarry, and if so, whether tenders for the work have been invited ; who are the contractors.wbat is the length of the road, and the terms of said contract?Hon.J.S.MACDONALD said that an estimate had been made for a road of four m les in length.An offer was made by parties to make the road for tbe estimate of the Board of Works.It was thought better not to call for the tenders by advertisement, as tbe farmers owning lands along tbe line of the new ruad would ask enormous sums for the tight of way.The contractor was Mr.R.S.Macdonald, a brother of bis (Premier\u2019s) bat he [the Premier] did not know anything about that.[Hear, hear.] Mr POWELL remarked that there was one point on which be desired to get information.It appeared that the work had been given out, not after tenders had been called for by ad-vertUement, but by a private contract with the Premier\u2019s brother.(Hear, hear.) Now h-would like to ask, bow much the road wm going to cost, and out of wbat appropriation it was going to be defrayed Hon.J.S.MACDONALD said it was an appropriation of some six years ago.(Hear, Lear.) Hon.Mr.GALT asked whether it was to be und Tstood that it was a portion of an unapplied appropriation which had remained over so long ?Hon.J.S.MACDONALD\u2014Yes.Hon.Mr.SICOTTE said that balances were [ sometimes found on tbe books, which bad been standing over for a period of ten years.Mr.POWELL asked whether the Government would have any objection to bring down the contract ?Hon.J.S.MACDONALD\u2014No.GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.Mr.BENOIT asked whether it is propose»! to include any sum in the Supplementary Estimates to assist in tbe publication of tbe work now in press respecting the Geology of Canada, by the Geologist, -tir William Logan ?Hon.Mr SICOTTE said there would be no other sum beyond tbe $15,000 set forth in the estimates, which were laid before the House yesterday.He was, however, understood to say that tbe amount in question would be sufficient for all necessary purposes.OTTAWA BUILDINGS.\t, Mr.TASCHEREAU asked whether the Government have appointed new Superintendents or other officers in connection with the I Ottawa Buildings.If so, who they are, and I what are their salaries ?Hon.J.S.MACDONALD\u2014There have been no Superintendents appointed.Mr.TASCHEREAU asked whether there were any other officers appointed ?Hon J.8.MACDONALD replied that two architects had been appointed\u2014Messrs.Fuller and Baillurgé, nt $4 >00 each.MILITIAMEN OF 1812.Mr.HUOT asked whether the Government intend to grant to all the Militiamen wounded during the war between England and the United States in 1812, entitled to a pension and resident in Lower Canada, a pension to date from tbe period when tbey were wounded, as has been done to some, and, as a general MARRIAGE STATISTICS.Mr.COCKBURN moved for an Address to His Excellency the Governor General, praying that the Registrars of the several Counties and Ridings in Upper Canada be required to return to this House certified copies of all the lists ol mar.iages filed in their respective offices, up to and inclusive of ihe31siday of December last.\u2014Carried.MINGAN FISHERIES.Mr.PRICE moved for an Address to His Excellency the Governor-General, for copies of correspondence between the Crown Lands Office and Fisheries Agent, and the proprietors and lessees of the Seigniory of Mingan, relative to fishing locations, 4c., within that Seigniory ; also copies of all reports of inspections of properties leased as King's Posts in Lower Canada.\u2014Carried.MUNICIPAL STATISTICS.Mr.SIMPSON moved fora Select Committee of five members to consider and report upon the subject of Municipal Statistics, with a view to the establishment of a more efficient and complete sys em than now prevails ; such committee to consist of Messrs Benjamin, Jackson, Stirton, Hooper, and the mover, with power to send- for persons, papers and records, and report from time to time.\u2014Carried SUPERVISOR OF CULLERS\u2019 OFFICi.Mr.POWELL moved that, \u201cas soon as thj Return ordered by this House, in relation to the office ofSupervisor of Cullers, is brought down, to refer the same to a Special Committee, with a view to a consideration ot its contents nnd their bearing upon the present law relating to the culling and measurement of lumber, and that such Committee have power to send lor persons and papers, and take evidence on the suhj-ct, and report by Bill or otherwise to this House.\u2019\u2019\u2014The hon.mover observed that, since this question was last before the House, he had turned over the Journals and had discovered that, on every occasion on which Bills relating to this matter had been bronght up, the same course had been adopted which he [Mr.Powell] had followed.Notwithstanding this, however, he had bowed to the'¦peuker\u2019s decision [Hear, hear.] He believed the Hon.Commissioner of Crown Lands had no objection to the course which was now proposed to be pursued.It was necessary that there should be an enquiry on the subject.In order to i elieve the trade from the exorbitant charges under which it labored ; but as be had already given his reasons he would not now detain the House by goint, over the arguments.Some discussion took place, after which the motion was carried.vO Cftvcn all iuO non.KCuilcluan o UKiircs\ti\t,\t.rT f**,****A9 rntely, but there wtll be an opportunity of ex- rule, for foo« resident in Upper Canada ?amioing them carefully hereafter And no I Hon.Mr.3ICOTTE said it was not the inten- doubt.tbe hon.gentleman will be prepared to lake issne with the boo.gentlemen opposite, and to shew that he gave a correct analysis of the Accounts of 1862, and that with regard to the Accounts of the coming year, he was quite willing to have the same principles applied as he himself applied to the Accounts of 1S62 and other years.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014I shall be prepared to discuss that with yon as well as with the Hon.Finance Minister?[Hear, hear.] Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014No doubt the hon.gentleman is quite piepared to take his own part against all confers.One thing must be exceedingly gratifying to the House, namely, that the Finance Minister has not only placed the whole case before us, but tbe Finance Minister has done so with a degree of candour totally unwonted.He has given us a clear statement of tha public finances, and House.But It was nottne lault or me uppw* i\t/Haarhaar) If anv ûon ii the Government had not brought U»ir1 fa*s kept nothin* back.(Hear, Usar.)

This was tho language used by the Hon.President of the Council: and it remained to be seen whether he was justified in assuming such a tone \u2014 whether he would bo sustained by the evidence from a knowledge of winch he appeared to speak.Hon.Mr.McGEE explained, at considerable length, that he bad spoken from a firm belief ».f what the result would be; but that he bad not seen the evidence.Hon.J.A MACDONALD could not believe that the Hin.President of the Couucil spoke without knowledge.He must either confess that he entertained the belief he had expressed without a knowledge of the facts, or else admit that he had an actual knowledge of facte.He did not think the hon.genllemau bad made the statement to which be referred without authority.He (Mr.McGee) spoke like one who had been behind tbe scenes.It was evident from his language that be had either seen part of the report, or had communication with the members of the Commission.This was uo matter of state policy\u2014it was but a matter of simple justice to those who had been traduced, that they should have the evidence at once, instead, perhaps, of having the re port of testimony taken by a secret tribunal, before which those whose conduct or actions had been investigated, had no chance, by cross-examination of witnesses, of otherwise vindicating themselves\u2014instead of having this report, perhaps, brought down during the recess\u2014and sent forth to the country, leaving those who were attacked no means of defending themselves until the Honse was called together in March next.[Hear, hear.] Those against whom attacks had been directed had a right to this evidence, and should obtain it.Hon.Mr.BROWN observed that he certainly expected disclosures from the labors of the Commission.[Laughter.] If they were not made, he [Mr.Br wn] would be disappointed.If, however, the Hon Attorney General Wrtt believed, from reasons of state policy, that the report could not be produced now, be would ithdraw his motion.Mr.PATRICK suggested that the whole of tbe evidence should be brought down at once.Hon.J.S.MADONALD Hoped, after what had been said, in reference to this matter, that the hon.member would allow bis motion to stand over until to-morrow.Hon.Mr.McGEE again spoke, charging tbe hon.member for Kingston of assuming a threatening tone towards him, and reiterating his belief that the Commissions would establish the statements he had made.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD did not know what the hon.gen'leman menned by saying that he (Mr.MacdonaM had used a threateu-ing tone.That hon.gentleman had stated in the moat emphatic language that the enquiry of these Commissions would result in showing the most flagitious conduct on tbe part of the late Government and on the part of tbe offici ils -as he had said himself from tbe lowest clerk to the head of the Department.The hon.gentleman made these charges in hjs well prepared senterces\u2014in one of his premeditated impromptus, in fact ; hnthe had not brought down proofs, because he was unable to do so.(Hear, hear.) He threatened to show a stele of corrup tion worse than that of old Rome ; but he (Mr.Macdonald defied him to do so.He was unable to do so.[Hear, hear.) He said now that he would do so in the course of the session.Did the hon gentleman think tbe session was going to last forever ?The fact was that he had never intended to bring np the matter again, f Hear, hear ) If it had not been alludrd to now, the Hon.President of the Council would not have said a word about it.The hou.gentleman was in the habit of jnaking statements of this nature.(Hear, bear.) A few weeks since he had volunteered a statement relative to the transfer of the Parliamentary Printing, and had promised to produce affidavits 'n ®UP\" port of bis assertions, on the following Wednesday, but he had not done so.This was what the hon gentleman was in the habit of doing.He (Mr.Macdonald) again defied him to make good his statements, and if he failed to do so, as he must fail, be would meet witb what be deserved the condemnation of the House and the condemnation of the country.Hon.Mr.McGEE said that the bon.member for Kingston was attempting to prove a habit of his iMr.McGee's), when in fact the incidents referred to had occurred within the same debate.(Cries of \u201coh, oh,\"and \u201chear, hear.\u201d» Hon.J A.MACDONALD begged to correct the hon.gentleman.There were several days between tbe statement made by the Hon.President of the Council, in reference to the Financial and Departmental Commissions, and that which related to the Parliamentary Printing.[Hear, hear.) Hon.Mr.McGEE denied that such was the case.\t, , Hon.J.A.MACDONALD begged to remind tbe Hon.President that the statement he had made respecting the printing was while the Honse sat with closed doors.[Cheers.] Hon.Mr.McGEE repeated his belief that the Commissions would have the result he expected ; and went on to speak of the difficulties which stood in the way of any other method ot enquiry, when it was desired to get evidence from subordinates who did not wish to compromise their superiors in office, and who would onl/give evidence when sworn.Hon.J.A MACDONALD said thatthehon.gentleman was trying to get away from the questio-*, by talking about the difficulties of getting subordinates to give evidence.[Hear, hear.) But this was not the point at issue.He had volunteered a statement about the public Printing and Messrs.Lovell 4 Gibson, and promised affidavits on the following Wednesday.The parties in this case were not subordinates, so that the alleged difficulty did not stand in the way ; and yet the hon gentleman had neglected to fulfil his promises.[Hear, hear.) Although be said be he did not know the nature of the evidence before the Commissions, yet he promised that before the close o* the session the result would prove a certain state of things which would be sufficient to drive certain members of the late Government from public life.Now as he [Mr.Macdonald) bad said before\u2014either the hon.gentleman had seen the result of the labors of the Commission, or else he spoke from an ill-concealed wish that it should be so.[Hear.] He had promised, however to make good bis assertions before the session closed ; and if he neglected to do so, he would stand dishonored in the land nnd dishonored before the Honse.[Hear, hear.) The hon.gentleman could scarcely be ignorant of the action of the Commissions.It was said he had sent instructions to them.Re [Mr.Macd.»nald] would like to know what business tbe hon.gentleman had to do so ?Was not the Commission of Enquiry in every respect a tribunal, and by what authority therefore did he Hon.Mr.SICOTTE said the hon.gentleman only intended to aHude to the Commission appointing them.Hon J.3.MACDONALD said that was all.[Hear, hear, and ironical laughter.) Hon.J A.MACDONALD did not know what peculiarity in the constitution of the Hon.President of the Council prompted him to make insinuations of a totally unfounded nature refleciing upon the personal character and standing of hon.gentlemen, and then endeavor to get out of them.But he [Mr.Macdonald] would take care that he should not get out of this matter.[Hear, hear, and cheers.) Hon.Mr.McGEE made some remarks in explanation about the statement relative to the Parliamentary Printing.Mr.SIMPSON said that tbe action relative to the Parliamentary Printing would be found in the reports of the Printing Committee.Hon.Mr.BROWN* motion was allowed to s'and on the notice paper.AN ITEM NOT ON THS ORDERS OF THS DAY.Just as the next item on the Orders of the Days was about to be called, an excited rush was made by hou.members on the floor, and spectators and reporters in the gallery, towards the windows of the House looking out on the river.For a moment it was impossible for persons standing on the other side of the House to ascertain the cause of the commotion; and fears were entertained that the building was on fire.The excitement, however, wus accounted for in a moment.Tbe ice in the river had given way and was swiftly moving out in a vast, unbroken sheet; and the spectacle had proved more attractive than Parliamentary duties.Honorable gentlemen congregated about the windows, leav-ing the seals almost empty.Tbe shaker, therefore\u2014considering the tact that it wanted only twenty minutes of six o\u2019clock\u2014declared it \u201csix o\u2019clock,\" according to the usual forms of Parliamentary practice, and left the Chair.MOTION OF WANT OF CONFIDENCE.After the recess\u2014 lion.J A.MACDONALD begged to Inform hon.gentlemen opposite that on Friday next, as soon as a motion was made that the House go into Committee of Supply, he wouli move \u2022 vote of want of confidence.[Hear, bear.)
