BRIltSli PARLIAMENT. Il?u;z of Commptif, 7«jtf4 19. Tier Majaly the Qneen..—Lord C^RIe- reagh appeared at the bar wish a bundle of pape:s in hia hands. Having, by th- de- fireoitheChair, brought them up to the Table,their titles were read by the Cleric. Lord Caftlereagh then role and laid— i think it ray duty to inform the Houfe, on the par: of bis IVJajefty'a Minilters, that in compliance with its general wilh, every endeavour \m been made bv them to re- V Here Parliament From the painful neceflity of entering into tlie prefent delicate inqui¬ ry ; and that his Majesty has been pleafed to authorize! that tne communications tvhich have taken place towards that end Jhould be laid before the iloufe. It is with great pain i ha'-e to slate to the Houfe, that this aegocution has not led to .Tny Satisfactory arrangement. Feeling the £rcat impottance of thii question to the il- iustrious Perionages themfelves, and to the nation at large, 1 do think it would be frost improper to proceed further in the contideraiiqri of this fubjt&, without lay- fag before this Houfe, ;;i the mo-.t authen¬ tic manner, the efforts that have been made to releafe Parliament from the painful ne- ct-iTity of luch zt\ investigation, together frith the grounds that have prevented their {access. The papers are now in a state ready to be printed, and will be delivered by to-morrow to the Members of this Uuuse. I feel it therefore my duty to move, that the prefent order be difdharged And to postpone to Wednesday next the farther cooliaeration of his Majesty's most ^tt&tF'tMfii&gCQi an ji7uLtv-r.ruucl.r- jHoijfci ::;iaht be enabled, under all the d; (acuities of the cafe, to proceed to its difjuffion with che fu!le!t information as to every thing 1 hat had occurred. Mr. Brougham—I rife to exprefa my perfect concurrence in the view which the Noble Lord has taken of the unfortunate failure of this negotiation, lie cannot feel greater pain than I do at the Luifor lunate lefuh of the attempt to adjull the exifting differences betwttu the iUuilripua Pccfouagea. To that illuHrioua I'erfonage to sdvife whom it U my duty, 1 think not a fhadov? of blame can attach ; but, hi iiating this, I do not all: this Houfe, nor do I mean to imply that blaau. fur fuch a refult is t> be attributed to the other illo.liious Party. It is pofBble, and baiey poflible, that a nidlt all the ether pecu¬ liarities that attend this extraordinary cafe, the Houfe would find that blame, as arifing out of the failure uf this nrguciation, attaches in no quarter. Lord Cahlereagh dated, that the papers would be delivered to the Members co-morrow. The order was then difcharged, and the difcuffion on the Royal Mcffage fixed for VVedncfday next. House of Commons, June 21. The $hieai —The Speaker called the name of Mr. Wilberforce when h-: came to the order in which it flood upon the notice paper, but the hon. gentleman was not in his place. The utrnoft anxiety for nearly a quarter of an hour was rr.auifctled for the hon. member's arrival, it being nearly an hour after the commencement of the time fixed fyf puulfcbufifitffs. At fix o'clock he entered the houfe, preceded hy Mr. Jlroughem, and waa loudly cheered as lie took his feat. Mr. Wilberforce then rofe amidil loud cries of M llear !M and fpoke aa follows: •; I hope I need not allure the houfe that I have nut been backward in the duty o attendance at the proper hour without foroe adequate caufe. (hear, hear.) — 1 | had not from circtimflanccs the power of being here earlier. Since the houft feoarated lait night, circum (lances have taken place which rendered it necelfary that L (hould vary the form of the motion I had intended. And confidering the ferious importance of this mod delicate queliion, and the imperative deceffity that I (hould avail ixtyfelf of the moll deliberate conlideration to try any effort that might avert the fatal evil of entering into the difcuffion of the unhappy differences now prevailing, I now throw myfelf again upon the indulgence of the houfe, and entreat that they will excufc me fo far as to allow another day to elapfe before they call upon me to bring Forward a motion upon this delicate and diftrcifing fubjedi. (Cries of" No," intermixed with repeated cries of" Hear.") I am fure, that what ever feelings may now operate in the bread* of the hon. members, they will do roe the juftice to believe that 1 require this further indulgence from the graved motives, and that they will afterwards hold me in contempt, if it Ihould appear I called for it upon any temporary conlideration unin¬ fluenced bv the most serious convictioncf the neceflity of ihe poflponement on fo vital an occafion, (hear, hear.) Lord Caitlereagh—." I own that I deeply regret any occafion fhonld have arifentohave rendered it ncceflavy for my hon. friend to loh'cit this poitponement, and upon motives which he has not thought proper (no doubt for the belt reafons) to explain to the Houfe. He rnay have good reafons for not now entering into the reafons which influenced hi* call for poitpnncment ; and certainly I feel dtfposed to accede to his wi(h, an it 13 de¬ finable that his motion fliould have preced¬ ence of mine.

With* out prcfomtng tJ queflion the propriety of ;ny honourable friend's application, I give him credit for the gravity and purity of his motives* hi folrciung the delay of 3 day. i (huu'd chifitc the Houfe would, afting upn,\ tlic principle already reco;^- nbeil by I arUam* nt: alfo-accedc to it upon thii occaf;on9 under the circumflances in winch my honourable friend (lands- 1 fliould depart from that principle were I now on the part of his Majefty's govern- meut to piels the houfe to enter upon my motion, the objefl or which is to decide upon the mode of inquiry which the cafe itfelf fliall call for before it has pcife&Iy and fully fatisfied itfelf that every poflible expedient has been carefully, anxioufly and deliberately reforted to- which could avert the neceflity of inch a proceeding.

Surely it is possible that emigrant* may 4t dibbapse, without receiving adequate advantage." one shil- ling and three pence for a cerlilieatc, and the Members of ih.» Society (to whose merits 1 cordially yield the highest praise) be yet frcr from tin* commission of fraud* And whether ,Mr. Ciilchri^t be guilty of inlci-tivnul imposition or not (though I by no means accuse him ot" it) il is a fact capable of demonstration, that the limi*- i;vants do *■• disburse11 their money for his benetit, without themselves receiving "m adequate advantage." The Editor of the Courant hating ad¬ justed the»e prc'Simiuuries to his own sat¬ isfaction, proceeds more directly to his object, viz. %* to rebut the accusation ol the erpigrant*:" nt.v "tTflirmatioti that i!ic certilicate singly considered ;s use¬ less, M aud my " opiuion that the charge ifauthorised by the society is improper." —IK d ciares himself u prepared Jlaily 10 deny all the facts staled by the form- . i\ and to reluic all" my H surmises,"— butj have looked in vain for the refuta¬ tion, thus confidently announced, ot my ** uirmises,"or for any thing more v. eigh¬ ty (hau xkjiat denial oi *Mhe tacts" kta- led by the euiigrants. I nm ready to ad- niit all and even more than the applause he has bestowed on his fellow citizens for the generous and chriMianlike spirit of charity which actuates them ou all oc¬ casions, aud i am equally sensible of the great buidens impo-ed on them by the inilux of poor emigrants, which are pe¬ culiarly increased by tha present depress- td slate el trade. But after making this free aud just acknowledgment, 1 would- e.sk tlie tclitorol theCouriut it bethinks othei towns exempt from similar burdens. Are tiny not all (at least in this Pro¬ vince) equally filled with (.migrants, and is not relief generously afforded in pro- l ortiou to thuir n.orc limited resources ; riie coin-parisou of tlie charges made at lite Montreal Hospital and the Emigrant Society, is wholly illusory, aud will not Oeai examination, for in tlie one case a great benefit is conferred, in the other none at all., and, as 1 admitted, where a great ami tangible benefit is, conferred, the individual ■■ relieved, possessing the means" should reimburse in proportion to tliuse" meana" the ex pence* incurred l)y tlie Society on his behail.

Assuming this ground, he tay s tnat44 one shilling and three pence is required from u,u-e only u-ltosejinanccs perni/i, by Mr. Gilchrist, auiiionzed bj the Society.— Tills trifling and (infrequent sum does not bj any means compensate that gen¬ tleman lor ollue rent, stationary, nor time, so that his services ate mostly gra¬ tuitous, no salary or emolument ol any kind being annexed to ttio situation.— Hence it appears that so la? from \f3 be¬ ing dcn;anded of all emigrants, it has been scarcely required trom any, that the requistiiou has been authorized by the society ; tnai the measure has been ne¬ cessary, and for the benefit of the general bod) of Emigrants ; and that therefore uit charge oi imposition is both Wholly void 01 foundation, and a tile calumnia¬ tion ol disinterested benevolence."------- rjr, office rent, m- other incideulalcx Quod crat demonstrandum.—The Editor oi tlie Courant may perhaps imagine that in tins singular specimen of 1< gie he has established his position. He may have sat b fie d himself and possibly his reader^ but 1 must confess that with all the dis- poviiion to belicv.', 1 am not convinced. He denies " facts" by adducing his own assertions, and witu scarcely any thing deserving to be called premises, dratvs sweeping conclusions. The whole mat- ter, in my judgment^ resolves itself into (his simple question. Is the Montreal Emigrant Society a charitable Institution or is it not ? il it be, as indeed iam wil¬ ling, on the Editor's word, to believe, then it is natural to infer that its business would be conducted gratuitously, in as far at least us regards the objects of re¬ lief. If other avocations interfere in Mr. GifchrisCs case, some other individual might sorely be found withsullicient leis¬ ure and benevolence to discharge tin fuuet ions of agent without fee or rewaid.

With regard to the reduced tates ot passages from Lachine to Kingston, my information is gathered from the emu grants abo,and from the boatmen, and I can aver that no instance of reduced pas¬ sages being obtained by the production of the certificate has come to my hnowU edge, though I do tot dispute the possi¬ bility oi instances being furnUht-d by ihe Society■ I well Know, how* ver, that passages in the Frontenacare allorded t.> the emigrants at half price, and that ma¬ ny distressed families have been trans¬ ported to York gilitis—but it is not sure¬ ly pretended that this favour has been extended in consequence nf tUe produc¬ tion of the u certificate." The truth is that the Compassionate Society of this place always exerts itself in behalf of Iho emigrants, and often pays tlie passage- money foi those whose funds are exhaust¬ ed, it is besides a well known fner that Emigrants were transported to Yoik at' reduced rates in the Fronteuac last-year,. and long before the establishment of the Montreal Society.
