Twenty-eight resolutions of Supply were repur ed from Com- inittee, all of which were agreed to by the House except the

‘4th, that the sum of £7 14s. 84. be placed at the disposa! of

the Government, to defray the over expenditure in relieving fndians last year, by T. Stewart, Beq., lodian Commissioner ; and the 25th, that the sum of £7 103 be granted to Fort Augusius Literary [netitute, for the purpose of purchasing a tew standard works on history, &c.

House again in Committee of Supply.

Mr. CONROY cioved a resolution that £250 be granted to

lencouraze steam communication to Cascumpec, &c.

Hon. Mr. McAULAY objected to the resulution as defective, because it did not specify how ofien the et-amer was to call, whether weekly or not.

Mr. CONROY explained that he was satisfied to leave the |

matier in the hands of the Government. The reason that he did not state weekly, was that be was uncertain whether she could ca}! go often #8 that.

tion, Mr. PERRY said it wae no party question, and he was also satiafied to leave the matter with the Governinent.

Mr. HOWAT could not agree to give the Government un- limited power though he wasa supporter of the party. He

felt called upon to oppose the grant altogether, because there |

wa8 no commerce at Caxeumpec lo keep & Steaner running there, except by grants from the Legtliture, and because other ports bad to pay for the shipment of their own produce,

Hon. Mr. POPE supported the resolution, He thought n did not become the hon. member from Tryon to oppose it, as he had been liberaily supported in regard to his Dredging machine, at Crepaud.

Ap ainmendment proposed that the sum be £200 was lost, and the reselution agreed to,
