and whereas the acquisition of Crown Lands within the Province of\u2019 Lower Canada, either by grant or purchase, has, in respect of\u2019 persons of little property or influence, been subject to numerous obstacles and harassing delays, so that jt has been always ditlicalt and often impossible for such persons to obtain possession of Crown Lands, upon which they mightscttle themselves, except by anoccupation without any title; And whereas a great number of the persons who have in such manner settled upon the waste lands, the property of the Crown, without title, are most desiruns of being ad- witted to purchase the land, aud the nucertainty at present attending their future possession thereof is productive of uneasiness and discontent ; And whereas under the circumstances aforesaid, it appears highly expedient and not less just to put an end to all anxiety and dissatisfaction, arising from this uncertainty of future possession of the lands which they have improved ou the part of such persons as have settled thereon without title, and are now willing to become purchasers of the same; Therefore, L do hercby certify and declare, that in any and every case in which any person shall have actually settled upon, improved and cultivated any waste Lands, tlie property of the Crown in the Province of Lower Canada, previously to the tenth day of September last, such person being an actual and bond fide settler, or his legal personal representative, shall have an absolute right of pre-emption in respect of the lot whereupon he has so scttled, and which he has so cultivated and improved,either at the upset or fixed price of wild land, the property of the Crown in the neighbourhood of such lot, without being required to pay any additional price for the improvements effected upon the sane, and without being exposed to the competition of.other \u2018purchasers.Provided always that no such person sball under any ciscumstance be entitled to the pre-emption of more than one lot of two hundred acres, and that no one shall be considered as so entitled unless he shall have actually cleared and cultivated in the whole ten acres of land, and shall prove to the satisfaction of the Agent for the sale of the waste Lands of the Crown «in the District wherein the lands are situate, that he was an actual settler upon and commenced the improvements of the lot in respect of which he may claim a right of preemption before such tenth day of September last ; And provided further, that every such claim to pre-emption, and all | necessary vouchers aud certificates for the authentication thereof, shall be lodged with the Agent for the sale of Crown Lands aforesaid, within six months after the fixed or upset price of lands in the District shall have been determined upon and fully certified, Given under my Hand and Seal at Arms, at the Castle of Saint Lewis, in the City of Quebec, in the said Province of Lower Canada, the thirty-first day of October, One thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight, and in the second Year of Her Majesty's Reign.By Mis Excellency's Command, D.DALY, Secretary of the Province.\u2014__\u2014\u2014_ DURIIAM.Mis EXCELLENCY THE RIGHT FIONORABLE JOHN GEoRGE, EARL oF DURHAM, Viscount Lamb- ton, &c &c., Knight Grand Cross of the Must Honorable Military Order of the Bath, one of Her Magesty's most Honorable Privy Council and Governor General of all Her MAJESTY\u2019 Provinces within and adjacent to the Continent of North America, &e.&c.&c.&c.PROCLAMATION, V HWEREAS by a Proclamation bearing date the \\ second day of June, one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight, a reward of One \u2018Thousand J\u2019ounds was offered by me for the apprehension of any person or persons who were actually engaged in or directly aided iv and abett d the destruction of the SIn RonErv PREL, Steam - boat, on the 29th of May last :\u2014Now KNOW ALL MEN, that, FT, the said JoiIN GronGE, EARL OF DURIAM, Governor General, bave thought fit to annul and call in the suid Proclamation, thereby revoking all promises of such reward as aforesaid, and KE the said Join GronGE, Eart oF DurHaM, Governor General, do hereby annul and call in the said Proelamation, and do hereby revoke and wake null all promises therein contained, of any reward for the apprehension of the said person or persons.- Given under My Hund and Seal at Arms, at the Castle of St.Lewis, in the City of Quebea, in the suid Province of Lower Canada, the thiriieth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty.eight, and in the second year of Hen Masesry's Reign, CHARLES BULLER, Chief Secretary.tee DURHAM.By 1133 EXCELLENCY THE RicHT HONORABLE Joux GEORGE EARL CF DDurnam, Viscount Lambton, &c.&c, Knight Grand Crossof the Most Honorable Military Order of the Bath, Ooe of Her Majesty's Most Honarable Privy Council, and Govevaor Ge.peral, Vice Admiral and Captain General of all Hen MaJsesty\u2019s Provinces within and adjacent to the Contivent of North America, &c.&c.&e.&e.PROCLAMATION, 7HEREAS by an Ordinance passed in the second year Ÿ of Queen Victoria, intituled, \u2018* An Ordinauce « for establishing an efficient system of Police in the Cites \u201c\u201c of Quebec and Montreal,\u201d it is awong other things Enacted and Ordained, *¢ that it shall and may be lawful for the Guvernor, Licutenant Governor, or person administering the Government of the said Province for the time being, to cause Police Offices to be established in the said Cities,\u201d I have therefore caused a Police OQitice to be established in the City of Quebec, at the house number thirty-six, in Saint Peter Street, in the Lower Town of the said City, aud all Sheriffs, Coroners, Justices of the Peace, Constables and others are hereby notified thereof, aud required to govera themselves accordingly.Given under ny Hand, at the Castle of Saint Lewis, in the City of Quebec, in.the Province of Lower Canada, this thirty-first day of October, io the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty.eight, and in the sccond year of ller Majesiy\u2019s Reign., \"By Command, Province of Lower-Cauada, CHAS.BULLER, Chief Secretary, 24 THE QUELEG GAGRTIR NoveEMBER 15 Ny \u2014\u2014 ANNO SECUNDO VICTORIÆ REGINÆ.CAP.IV.An Ordinance to make provision for defraying the civil expenditure of the Provincial Government, from the first day of April one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight to the tenth day of October vf the same year.HEREAS it is expedient to make provision towards defraying the expenses of Her Majesty's Civil Government of this Prorvinee, and of the Administration of Justice therein from the first day of April one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight to the tenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred nnd thirty eight ;

lt attendu que | acquisition de terres de la couronne dans la province du Bas Canada, soit par concession ou par achat, a été, pour les personnes peu aisées, ou de peu d\u2019influence, entouré d\u2019obstacles nombreux et de délais fatigants, de manièré qu\u2019il a été toujours difficile et souvent impossible à de telles personnes d\u2019obtenir possession de terres de la couranne sur lesquelles elles pussent s'établir, autrement que par Une occupation sans titre ; Et attendu qu'un grand nombre des personnes qui se sont de cette manière établies sans titre sur des terres vagues de la couronne désirent beaucoup d\u2019être admises à acheter les terres, et que l'incertitude qui existe quant à lenr possession future d\u2019icelles produit de l\u2019inquiétude et du mécontentement ;

et pourvu de plus que toute réclamation du dit droit de préemption et toutes pièces justificatives et tous certificats à son appui soient remis au dit agent pour la vente des terres de la couronne dans les six mois après que le prix fixe ou la mise à prix de terres dans le district avra été réglé et dûment certifié.Donné sous mon seing et le sceau de mes armes, au Château de Saint Louis, en la Cité de Québec, dans la dite Province du Bas-Canada, le trente- unième jour d'Otobre mil huit cent trente huit, dans la deuxième année du Règne de Sa Majesté.Par Ordre de Son Excellence, D.DALY, Secrétaire de la Province.Le Province du | Bas-Canada.| DURHAM.FAR SON EXCELLENCE LE TREs-HONORABLE JEAN GEORGE, COMTE DE DunttAM, Vicomte Lambton, &c , &e., Chevalier Grand\u2019Croix du T:ès-Hono- rable Ordre Militaire du Bain, Conseiller de Sa Majesté en Sun Très-Honorable Conseil Privé, et Gouverneur Général, Vice-Amiral et Capitaine Général de toutes les Pruvinces de Sa Majesté sur et proche le Continent de l\u2019Amé;ique Sep- tentrivnale, &c.&e.&e, &c.PROCLAMAT:ON.TIENDU que par une Ordonnance passée en la deuxième année de lu Reine Victoria, intitulée : *\u201c Ordonnance pour établirun système de Police effectif dans les villes de Québec et de Montréal,\u201d il est eutr\u2019autres choses Ordonné et Statué *\u2018que le Gouverneur, Licutennut-Gouverneur ou la persvnne administrant le Guuvervement de la dite Province pourra faire \u2018et fera: établir des bureaux de police dans les dites villes.\u201d .J'ai en conséquence fait établir un bureau de police dans la ville de Québec, à la maison numéro treute six, rue Suint Pierre, duns la Basse-Ville, de quoi tous Shérils, Coroneis, Juge de Paix, Connétables et autres suit requis de preudre connaissance et se gouverner en conséquence, Donné sous mon Scing, au Château Saint Louis dans la ville de Québec, Province du Bas- Canada, ce trente-unième jour d'Octobre dans l\u2019année de Notre Seigneur mil huit cent trente huit et du règne de Sa Majesté lu deuxième, Par Ordre de Son Excellence, CHARLES BULLER, Principul Secrétaire, ANNO SECUNDO VICTORIÆ REGINÆ.CAP.IV, Ordonnance qui pourvoit au paiement dus dépenses civiles du Gouvernement provincial, depuis le premier jour d\u2019A- Vril, mil buit cent trente Luit, jusqu\u2019au dixième juur d\u2019Octobre de la même année.A TTENDU qu\u2019il est expédient de pourvoir an paiement des dépenses du gouveruement civil de Sa Majesié et de administration de la justice en cette province, cepuis le premier jour d\u2019Avril mil buit cent trente-huit jusqu\u2019au dixième jour d\u2019Octobre mil huit cent trente-huit;

themselves Patriots, for the subversion of the Authority of Her Majesty, and the destruction of the established Constite- tion, and Government of the said Province ; and Whereas the suid traitorous conspiracy hath broken out into acts of the most daring and open Rebellion ; and Whereas the said Rebellion hath very considerably extended itself, in so much, that large bodies of arnicd traitors have openly arrayed themselves, and have made, and do still make, attacks upon Her Majesty*s subjects, and have committed the most horrid excesses and cruclties ; and Whereas in the parts of the said District in which the said conspiracy hath not as yet broken out in open Rebellion, large numbers of such persons, so calling themselves Patriots, for the execution of such their wicked designs, have.planned means of open violence, and formed arrangements for raising and arming an organized and disciplined force, and jp furtherance of their purposes, have frequently asrembled in great and unusual numbers ; and Whereas the exertions of the Civil Power are ineffectual for the suppression of the aforesaid traitorous and wicked Conspiracy and Rebellion, and for the protection of the lives-and properties of Her Majesty's loyal subjects ; and Whereas the Courts of Justice im the said District of Montreal have virtually ceased to exist, from.the impossibility of executing any legal process or warrant of arrest therein ; and Whereas the public safety requires that MARTIAL LAW should be exercised ; Now THEREFORE, I have thought fit, by and with the advice and consent of Her Majesty\u2019s Exe cutive Council of this Province, to issue this Proclamation to the end that it be made manifest, that I shall arrest and punish and cause to be arrested and punished, all persons

QuEntc, AuGusT 25th, 1838, Sir, Derore entering on the duties, Which yon have undertaken, in conscuting to act us Assistant Commis- stoner in the Inquiry re-pecting the Municipal Institutions of this Province, ît is necessary that I should point out the ohjects of that inquiry, more specifically than they are to be found described in the Commission itself.You canuot, however, have failed to observe, trom the whole tenor of that Commission, that the word * Muui- cipal\u2019 has been used in its largest sense, that it has not been conjoined with any other that would limit your inquiries to Incorporated Towns; but that within the acope of your investigation will be included, every matter that may be properly submitted to local or municipal management.\u2018The chief of these have heen printed cut in the Comission, which mentions increased facilities of internal communication, the encouragement of industry, and the reprission of crime, as primary objects of attention.Itis, indeed, imposs.ble to enumerate exactly the various branch's of inquiry.or define them very precisely.\u2018lhe class includes all these concervs of the people which it is adv sable to exclude trom the business of the central kxecutive Government, and leave to be managed by the sparate local divisions which have an interest in them.\u2018Fhe limits of this class have been more or less wide in diffrent countries.There would be no objection to your extending your inquiries to all the matters comprehended in the widest classification, but custom and general opinion have sufficiently marked - out the most important of those .which come within the province of Municipal administration.tuving determined the objects of Municipal Government you will proceed to ascertain how they have been provided for inthis conntry, You will inquire and report about the provision which has been made for the forma- tien aud maintenance of those internal communications, which.as they concern only local divisions, can never be chjects of interest to a central government.The system by which the Roads and Bridges of the Province have Levu managed, will be one of the first and most important subjects of investigation.\u2018the paving, lighting and draining of towns, will present kindred subjeets of inquiry.You wid also direct your attention to the means provided fur the erection and maintenance of Public Buildings, both in town and country.The management of the entire Police of the province will come under your consideration.You will inform me of the system which has been established for the purpose of protecting the persons and property of the inhabitants, both of the towns and rural districts, and of the degree of e1H- ciency with which it has been administered.It will not be your business to inquire into the various particular charities, hospitals and medical institutions which have been founded throughout the Province by the benevolence of individuals, and governed according to the regulations prescribed by their founders.But the general Provision for the Pocris an important part of local arrangements ;\u2014 You will, therefore, investigate the system which has been established for the general relief ot destitution, andthe suppression of mendicancy and vagrancy.There are other matters which no wise government would leave entirely to mere lo al arrangement ; but, in the management of which, it has been found that the Central Government may advantageously avail itself of a well- organized municipal machinery.Such are the inferior ju- ditatares, the subordinate magistracy and the institutions of education.1 do not desire trom yon a complete view of the judicial establishmenis of the Province, because the Administration ef Justice is a subject the importance of which will demand and receive from His Excellency a se- purate investigation.But you will inquire into the estab- Jishments which exist unconnected with the higher courts of civil and criminal jurisdiction, for the settlement of petty disputes, the repression of minor offences, and the enforcement of police regulations.You will especially direct your attention to all those judicial institutions which are, in any degree, of a popular nature, and in which the inhabitants of the various provincial subdivisions havé a voice in the selection of the local judges.The choice of à local magistracy has, in some countries, been wholly or partly lett to the people of the locality.You will inform me how far the inhabitants of this Province have been entrusted with any share of this power, either by direct selection, or recommendation of their magistrates, or.by the attribution of magisterial functions to the popularly elected officers of a town, or district,\u2014applying the latter word according to general usage.In the same way, you will inquire how far the inhabitants of the local divisions of the Province have had a voice in the management of local schools, or the appointment of Schioolma- ters, and how far the support of the institutions of Education has been made to depend upon local im- osts.: ?After these investigations, our information on this head, as to the present establishments of the Province, will re- GAZGATIE DA QUALEC 29 quire to be completed by your turning your researches rom the mode in which municipal purposes have been provided for, to the municipal machinery which may happen to exist.The example of various nations supplies instances of the existence of a very complete machiuéry for local self-government, available for all municipal purposes, but actually applied to none, or to very few ; furnished with very inadequate powers, or entrusted with very incomplete duties.Thus, in the Parishes of England, a machinery for local self-government exists, which might be rendered applicable to every description of! municipal business, but which is, in fact, restricted tothe management of a very small portion.Jn Upper Canada, there appears to exist a systematic, comprehensive and popular organization of the Townships.The people of these districts are entrusted with the freest election of municipal officers ; but the officers thus chosen seem to be entrusted with hardly any duties, and certainly are invested with hardly any of the powers which are necessary for a really efficient municipal Government.The inhabitants of these Townships appear to have a very popular choice vf nearly useless functiona- ries\u2014and a very perfect municipal machinery exists without being rendered available for the most important municipal purposes.Yon willinquire, therefore, whether any thing of a similar nature exists in this Province :\u2014whether, forany purposes, the inhabitants of small local districts are in the habit of managing any portion of their own affairs, or meeting to discuss their local concerns, or selecting their local officers.You will describe the municlpal machinery which may happen to exist for any purpose, and any existing institutions for any species of local self-government which may be applied to the higher kinds of municipal duties.To leave to local management whatever can be safely entrusted to it, and in such local management, to give a voice to as large a number of the people as can use the suffrage for the common advantage, will be your great object\u2014in the prosecution of which you will conduct your inquiries in the way which you may deem best calculated to enable you to draw just conclusions and to furnish an early report.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant Lu CHAS.BULLER.Willian EE Fsquires.dam | hom, PRELIMINARY REPORT OF TME ASSISTANT COMMIS- SIONEFS UF MUNICIPAL INQUIRY.To the Vonorable CuAnzes BULLER, Chief Commissioner of Inquiry into Municipal Lastitutions, MUNICIPAL COMMISSION OFFICE, Quebec, October 27th 1838.Sir, ; Ix conformity with your letter of instructions as Chiet of the Commission, appointed to enquire into the Municipal Institutions of the Province of Lower Canada, we proceeded to lay down a plan fur conducting the Inquiry on a comprehensive basis, and in the way that promised to enable us most readily to mcet the exigencies of a community lying under a suspension of constitutional rights.With a view to the economy of time, as we'l as to the obtaining of accurate information, we came to the conclu- siou that we should discharge the duties of the Commission most satisfactorily, by directing our investigation, in the first instance, to the cities of Quebec and Montreal, These cities had been incorj:orated for a term of three years, by Acts of the Provincial Legislature.If the-experiment of incorporation had been successful, their inhabitants would, of course, feel anxious for the renewal of the Statutes, which expired in 1236.{fit had been unsuccestul, it was necessary to ascertain the cause of failure, in order to gnard against its recurrence in future legislation, Îtwas fair to assume that the lapse of their municipal government would be productive of injury and inconvenieuce to growing commercial towns like Quebec and Montreal, we were therefure imn- pressed with the convict on that we should best consult the public interests and wishes by making the municipal regulations of these towns the subject of a separate Keport, to be submitted as carly as possible to His Excellency Her Majesty\u2019s High Commissioner, as material for Legislative enactment.Thus, we had reason to hope that, in the course of a few mo.ths, the benefit of improved and extended municipal institutions might have been couterred upon the principal seats of provincial intelligence and wealth, in which the disorder and discomtort occasioned by the ub.sence of these Institutions is strikingly apparent.Another consideration weighed with us in giving precedence to Quebec and Montreal\u2014the desire of obtaining the advantage of \u2018he auxiliary intormaticn to be derived trom this branch of the Inquiry before directing our iuvestiga- tion to the rural districts,\u2014where habits of selt-govern- ment are almost enknown, and education is so scantily dit- tused as to render it difficult to procure a sufficient number of persons competent to administer the functions that would be created by a general scheme of popular local control, ; In accordance with this plan, we called for the evidence of persons presumed to be acquainted with the subject, as to the working of the Act which provided for the Incorporation of Quebec.The inquiry was so far matured that we should have been prepared, atter devoting a little time to hearing evidence in Montreal, to submit to lis Excellency a complete scheme of incorporation for both cities.After the performance ot\u2019 this, the more urgent part of our duty, it was our intention to have made a circuit of the rural districts, tor the purpose of carefully examining the practical operation of such institutions as may have been devis- cd for the regulation of local affairs, and of determining, from personal observation, to what extent and under what restrictions the agricultural population might safely become the depositories of municipal authority.the vague and conflicting character of the evidence submitted to us even on matters of ordinary social concern, satistied us of thie necessity of closely examining, on the spot, the wants of the rural districts, their modes of local management, and their capacities for municipal organization.We were farther confirmed in this opinion by the discouraging manner in wliich intelligent and experienced persons, both of British and Canadian blood, spoke of the //abitans in relation to the business of local management: They were almost unanimous in affirming that the ignorance- which prevails among this class, together with their deep-rooted dislike to every kind of tax and assessment, must render any attempt to improve the country by mcans of a safe and efficient municipal system impracticable.From the line of proceeding, which, under the cireum- stances referred to, we deemed it expedient to adopt, events untoward for the settlement of these Colonies constrained us to depart.The retirement of His Excellency the Governor General from a post in which he felt powerless for good, in consequence of the support essential to the success of his Administration being withheld from his measures, brought the Commissions issned under his authority toa close, and we were, therefore, obliged to alter the plan of investigation, so that we might be ena sled to furnish a general report on the subject of our inquiry, which while it might be insufficient to show precisely the machinery which ought to be constructed for the administration of focal affairs in the Province, might, at least serve to demonstrate that some advances towards a less defective system are imperatively demanded.Instead of visiting Montreal and the Townships and Seigniories, as we proposed, we were forced to content ourselves with examining some of the.Executive officers who act in these localities, aided by whose testimony, with documents from various sources, we have drawn up a statement of the existing municipal establishments of Lower Canada, and the machinery that might be applied to the working of an improved and comprehensive scheme of local administration, The nature and efficacy of superior municipal institutions scem to be: very imperfectly understood in this Province, and the evidence we have collected from parties examined is exceedingly meagre and indefinite.It is, indeed, comparatively valueless as a help to establishing a better order of things.Oneimportantinfercnce, however, we could not fail to draw from it\u2014namely, that there is ne such thing as systematized local self-government in Lower Canada, and that, although long under the rule of England, the Province has participated far too sparingly in the benefits of sound British Institutions.We do not propose to include tire minute details of evie dence in the report which we are preparing to lay before vou, but have embodied, under their proper head, such hints for amendment as seemed of sufficient note to be adopted or recorded.We may be permitted to remark that, perhaps, in no particular is the unhappy condition of this colony more conspicuous than in the apathy or despondency or party jealousy with which persons ncither deficient in education nor wante ing inthe spirit of enterprize are disposed to regard the constition of new popular authorities for the management 0 matters of common interest.The proper fruits ot Representas tive government are not to be found in Lower Canada.A e look in vain for the young, vigorous and generous institu- tio s which ought to have grown up under its shade.The Constitutional Act conferred a Representative Government on the Province, yet the bulk of that class who have for nearly fifty years enjoyed the franchise are, at this me- ment, pronounced by their own countrymen to be so lamentably ignorant and so incompetent to civil functions as to make it both idle and unsafe to invest them with the power of confering those attributes which the practice of free and enlightened communities proses to be most beneficially imparted to local officers periodically chosen by popular assemblies, Hitherto the higher municipal functions have been discharged partly by the Provincial Legislature and partly by officers appointed by the Central I'xe- cutive, \u2018Ihe mass of the people whose incapacity is censured or deplored, have been allowed the exercise of the greater privilege of clecting Provincial representatives, while, with singular inconsistency, they bave been denied the minor right (the exercise of which would have been a wholesome preparatory for the discharge of the superior trust) of choosing municipal authorities,and thereby gradually acquiring a disciplined knowledge of their social duties in the school of practical citizenship.There are persons, too, who now plead for the restoration of the greater right and still would hesitate to grant the leser\u2014contending that until Iducation is generally diffused, a system of popular local government would do more harm than good, and that consequently, until anew and instructed generation shall arise, the Canadian farmers ought to remain without a voice in the management of the affairs with which they are most familiar, and for the prudent direction of which they heve a paramount interest in providing.We have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servants WILL.KENNEDY, ADAM THOM, Assistant Commissioners of Municipal Inquiry, ee OFFICE OF TILE SECRETARY OF THE PROVINCE, Quebec, 14th

Commission need no further notice, owing to the departure of LorD DURHAM ; all parties to whom they were addressed are hereby informed that a gentleman has been left for the express purpose of receiving aod arranging them\u2014and they are, therefore, requested to answer them to the best of their ability, and forward their returns without any unnecessary delay to the address originally given.The Commission has afready received a considerable number of such returns, some very fully and carefully made out, which shews that thething is quite fea- sible\u2014others more lazily, and a few pretty nearly inthe sante state as they were sent.As the information required in the above mentioned Cireulars will always be an indispensable preliminary to aay further proceedings in this matter\u2014it is not necessary to observe that the trouble sought to be avoided at the present moment, must sooner or later be undergone, and that thus, while delay may be very injurious to the public, it can be of noavail to the individual.Many answers have been received by the Commission stating that the Minister to whom the Circulars were ad- dreevet no longer officiates in the parish or township named; in all such cases it is requested that they may be transferred to the party actually filling that situation.Quebec, Union Buildings, Nov, 8, 1838.© PROYINCE OF At Her Majesty's
