Sir ROBERT PEEL then rose, and having stated that he knew from the first that his amendments must be to Lord Durham laid upon the table, and declared with adopted, the right hon. baronet noticed the instructions great vehemence not only that he did not feel authorised to offer an opinion upon them, but that it would be most improper at this moment to discuss them; yet, it the face of this declaration, he did nothing for the next ten minutes but condemn them in most unmeasured terms, and condescended to make a poor joke, and to raise a servile laugh on the opposition benches, by representing that the governor-general was to sail for Canada on the 1st of April. Towards the conclusion of his speech the right hon. baronet himself became aware that he had done at large the very thing he had said he been led away to refer to the instructions from Lord would not do at all, and expressed his regret that he had Glenelg to the Earl of Durham. Mr ELLICE expressed his obligation to ministers for giving way at his sugges tion, and again enforced, from his own local knowledge. the advantage that would result from the unanimity of parliament. Mr Ellice was followed by Mr Harvey and Lord Howick, the latter going at some length into the subject, and, after a few remarks from Mr Hume, Mr Ward stated his satisfaction at the course just announced; "Governor Head is said to have passed up the river for, although he had approved in the abstract of the on the 26th (Tuesday evening) to attack Navy Island, declaration in the preamble of the line of policy to be and on Wednesday night a heavy cannonading was heard pursued towards Canada, he could not conceal from in that direction at half-past eight o'clock, and con- himself that it was irregular, because it had relation to tinued for two hours, during which our informant be- nothing contained in the body of the bill.

Second and third editions of the Morning Papers bring important news from Canada. The interest of the insurrection has shifted to the Upper Pro.vince. The insurgents at Navy Island are said to be in greater numbers than are reported in another part of our paper. It is rumoured that Sir Francis Head, who had gone in person to urge the attack, had not been able to land, and had been repulsed with some loss. But these statements appear in the same prints, be it observed, which announced the capture of Toronto. The Lower Province appears perfectly quiet. The United States papers contain several proclamations from the Governors of the several States, forbid ding the assistance of the insurgents in Canada with either arms or ammunition. The camp on Navy Island has been greatly swelled by the volunteers from Buffalo, who are for the most part American citizens. We have only room for the following extract from the Rochester Democrat, which we find given in a third edition of the Morning Post :

Saturday Night.

It is difficult to know what to make of this morning's lating to it, however, are very suspicious. news from Upper Canada. All the circumstances reIn the first place the accounts come from tainted sources-statements made by Mr Mackenzie's friends must be exaggerated. Then it is scarcely possible to suppose that in such a bottled-up place as Navy Island appears to be, there could possibly exist any resources for an effective insurrection. The Standard of to-night describes the place very well-"The place is well adapted for a refuge for desperate men-it is a rock of a few hundred acres, situated in the Rapids, about two miles above the falls the mainland of Canada. The place is comparatively of Niagara, and at a distance of about half a mile from safe as an asylum; but the same cause which ensures its safety in this particular, renders it almost harmless as a position from which to prosecute hostilities. That cause is the extreme rapidity of the current between the island and the Canada shore; and the sure destruction by the Niagara Falls that awaits any vessel which should become unmanageable in that current. Hence an invasion of the island must be commenced by a very oblique descent upon its western extremity, at the risk of losing any vessel which should miss the land, or be seriously crippled in her approach to it. On the other hand, any expedition from the island to the Canada side must be exposed to much greater hazard. Its oblique course would bring it to the very crest of the fall, while for two miles of the passage it would be every yard of the way exposed to a lateral fire from the shore, within very short distance."

a

Truly, a pretty place for an insurrection this! At the same time it is plain that the insurgents are still in force there, and may require the presence of some regular troops, which can now happily be spared from Lower Canada, to dislodge them.

We have to add, with a caution to the reader against attaching too much importance to the statement, that the Standard publishes the following from its Liverpool correspondent: "We are indebted to one of those acts of politeness which the house of Messrs Wildes, Pickersgill, and Co., invariably display, for the annexed extract from a letter dated the 2d of January. If the rumour to which it refers be correct, the fate and condition of our American and commercial interests are most perilously jeopardised: We have to report this morning that Sir Francis Head has recommended to the British Minister to retire from Washington, unless our government take immediate and efficient measures to prevent American citizens from interfering in the contest now raging in Canada.'"'

The Standard supplies also an extract of a private letter from New York of the 2d instant:-"I have no important news to communicate, except from Navy Island, where the Patriots, so termed, are assembling in large force, with the intention of making a descent on Upper Canada. It is a disgrace that our governmentpermits a force to be collected on that spot with a view of aiding the subjection of Canada. Arms, &c,, &c., are constantly sent from the States to aid the insurgents. I have just been informed, that unless some active. measures are adopted by the United States' government, the Minister at Washington, Mr Fox, will demand his passports.'

Whatever truth or falsehood may be in these state. ments, it seems quite incredible that Sir Francis Head should have been repulsed in the manner described above.

Nothing worth mention was transacted in the House of Lords last night; but on the House of Commons resolving itself into a committee on the Canada govern. ment bill, Lord JOHN RUSSELL proceeded to fulfil his undertaking of yesterday, by stating the determination he and his colleagues had come to on the subject of the amendments proposed by Sir Robert Peel. He adverted to the additional responsibility ministers had taken upon themselves in the first instance, by not bringing down a message from the throne requiring the advice and assistance of parliament; and he admitted that the course adopted in the preamble, pledging the house to a particular line of policy with respect to the From the seat of war we learn equally little.

THE SLAVE QUESTION.

We abridge the following important account from the Philadelphia correspondence of the Morning Chronicle:The affairs of Canada have been almost forgotten during the last five days, in consequence of the excitement which has been produced by the alarming and extraordinary proceedings that have taken place in Congress-proceedings that, at one time, seemed to threaten a separation of political interests between the northern and southern states. In consequence of the agitation of the slave question, as regards slavery in the district of Columbia, by Mr Slade, of Vermont, the southern members, with Mr Wise, of Virginia, and Mr Legare, of South Carolina, became much excited; and finding that it was impossible to arrest the course of Mr Slade, Mr Wise called upon the southern delegation to leave the hall; and he quitted Congress in company with twenty-five others. But I will give you the particulars in the eloquent language of my friend Mr S.

"Mr Slade took the floor, and submitted a motion for referring a petition for the abolition of the slave trade and slavery in the district of Columbia to a select committee. In a few moments he opened the whole subject of slavery; attacked it at all points, and commenced referring to the Bible and the writings of the Apostles to prove its iniquity. A firebrand, as you may suppose, was cast into the house at the very outset. Mr Legare, of South Carolina, took the floor (by leave of Mr Slade), and implored that gentleman to withhold his remarks for one night at least, that he might have an opportunity to reflect on the consequences of his action. Mr Legare indulged a copious flood of remarks, mild, warm, yet persuasive in themselves, and calculated in an eminent degree to reach the hearts of all. St Augustine at Rome, St Paul in the pulpit, Brutus before the people, or Mark Antony in the market-place of the city of the Caesars, in their proudest days, never appeared so imposing and attractive as did Mr Legare on this occasion, and the eloquence of the man will never be erased from my memory. All had no effect on Mr Slade, and he proceeded to discuss the subject of slavery. Mr Dawson, of Georgia, begged him to desist, as a man and a lover of his country; but all was of no avail. Mr Slade was calm and collected, refused to yield, and continued his remarks, adding at each sentence additional food for excitement. Mr Wise, of Virginia, now interposed; he also was unsuccessful. Mr Slade was firm He had a duty to discharge, he said, to God, his country, and his constituents; and whilst life and breath

The following details of the dimensions, &c. of the Palace of St Petersburg, lately destroyed, are extracted from the Augsburg Gazette--"This palace covered an area of 654,237 square feet French, and therefore occupied more ground than any other edifice of this kind. The Louvre covers 275.625 square feet; the Vatican and Belvedere, 478,900; the Palace of Munich, 291,600; the Palace of Berlin, 232 320; the Harem of Constan tinople, 260.100; the Palace of Vienna, 432,000; the Caserta, 410,480. The length of the Imperial Palace was 707 feet, and its breadth 559 feet; it contained several halls 40 feet in height, and the throne-room, with two other saloons, had their ceiling supported by sixty-four marble columns."

ENTIRELY SUPERSEDED. BALSAMIC PILLS.-The unprecedented success that has attended the administration of these PILLS, since they were made public, has ac quired for them a sale more extensive than any other proprietary medicines extant; and the circumstance of their entirely obviating the necessity of having recourse to those disgusting, nauseous, and, in many cases, highly injurious medicines (as copaiba, cubebs, &c.) has obtained for them a repu tation unequalled in the annals of medicine. Within three years prior to being advertised, these pills were employed in private practice in up. wards of 1,800 cases, many of them most inveterate, and in many thousand cases since, and in no one instance known to fail, or to produce those unpleasant symptoms so often experienced while taking copaiba, and that class of medicines usually resorted to in those complaints. The proprietor pledges himself that not one particle of copaiba, either resin or balsam cubebs, or any deleterious ingredient, enters their composition. Copaiba and cubebs have long been the most commonly employed medicines in the above complaints; but, from the uncertainty in their effects, together with their utter inefficacy, in many cases, are fast declining in reputation and from the unpleasant symptoms invariably produced from taking co paiba, especially in the early stage of the complaint, many of the most able modern practitioners condemn it as dangerous, and a medicine not to be depended upon. Many persons, after having suffered more from the effects of the remedy than the virulence of the disease, and after a patient From that eminent Surgeon, the late Joshua Brooks, Esq., F.R.S. Pro- but painful perseverance, have been compelled to relinquish its use, the whole system having become more or less affected, and the disease as bad, "Theatre of Anatomy, Blenheim street. if not worse, than at the commencement. As regards cubebs, it is true "Dear Cooper,-I have tried your pills in numerous instances, and m that those piolent effects are not experienced as while taking copaiba; but candid opinion is, that they are a most improved system of treatment they seldom effect a cure, unless more active medicines are administered. for those peculiar complaints for which you recommend them, curing The Balsamic Pills are free from any of the above objections; they act with rapidity, and with a certainty that I had never before witnessed specifically on the urinary passages; and, from their tonic properties, but what I consider their most invaluable property is, that they entirely tend to strengthen the system and improve the general health. They re eradicate the complaint, and never leave those distressing secondary symp-quire neither confinement nor alteration of diet (except abstinence from
