Grey family ; one of whom , Mr . Elmcb , happens to have immense possessions in Canada . Here Ibes- fe an abundance of reasons why Canada ionld be compelled , by force of arms , to allow fcrsdf to be pillaged at tbe pleasure of every In or OntTory Administration which may happen , like i cork , to float npon tie surface of political ifeirs in England . Here is quite sufficient jsason why Lord John Rttssell should come
iovra to the House of Commons , and ask the nock-representatives of flie British people to allow Jim to tax the nation to an indefinite amount , to keep m the extent of his and Ms party ' s patronage and enolument in Canada . Andhere v a test , too , by ¦ jfcich the people may ascertain , which and bow many of the pseudo liberal Members may be depended gsi for an adherence to the principles of justice and popular right . The great principle for which the Canadians struggle , is precisely that for which
fte people of England , Ireland and Scotland , are grnggling . It is for the eontroul of their own jBoey and lie enaction of their own laws . How jjanT Members of the British House of Common * xe prepared to support those principles , may be pessed at , from the fact , that when the question Taspnt , —not whether those great principles should he adopted , and carried out in reference to Canadatat simply whether another evening should be jSeroted to their discussion , only 28 Members were fraud to votefor the adjournment of the debate ; aad die address to the Queen , pledging the House
to force despotism down the throat % f Canada was speed to , without division . You see therefore , Englishmen , that you have nothing to hope in this badness from the honesty and patriotism of Parliajntnt . Mate up your minds to do your own work , and ask yourselves whether you be indeed so much ialove with tyranny , as to be ready to support it by an incalculable sacrifice of British money , aad of " British life ? [ Lord Johs Russell says , ie must have a very large force to go into Canada it Spring . This very large force will make a very hrze addition to the National Debt . Is it motlaree
enough already ? Lord J . Rr ssell says he must establish a pure despotism in Canada . Are you so jncch m love with despotism , as to allow this to be done at your expense ? Deliberate with yourselves mi answer these questions . If you value you own freedom be not accessary to the utter destruction dfreedom , in Canada . If you know the value of " tae hard-earned monev , constantlv wrung from vou
Inr taxation , do not allow that money to be applied to the / worst of all purposes , the murder , and enthraldomof your brethren . Let the people of these &ree mighty kingdoms speak out with one voice , and proclaim in tone * of firmness and decision , that t ot one drop of British blood—that not one coin of British cold , shall ever be appropriated to the Kstenance of undisguised tyranny .

THE LEEDS MEETING AND THE LEEDS MERCURY . "We perceive that the Meeting of the Leeds "Working Men ' s Association is a matter of wormtoo' 1 and call to the In and Out-Tory Pre = s . "We are glad of it . The dose operates powerfully , and -re hope the effect will he salutary . Among the Eniritadiuous contortions of limb and conntenaaee
prodst-ed by this hitter pill , none is more amusing than the " boek ' uings" of our " MereuriaP ' ? fdghbour . He is altogether sick of the Medicine , and declare ? that the nasty " fellows" who ad-Eiiai = tered it to him i £ are taking infinite pains to get their necks into a halter . " Leaving the Gentleman whose name is coupled with this sentence in our contemporary ' s comments , to deal with the tradncer as may seem best unto his judgmentresting on our own merits—and referrrne to our
ovtx 5 peeches , for our own ^ bare that night ' s Jiroceediags , we cannot avoid feeling . some surpr ise j hat . ^ he strongest dose of " violence" then and fiiere administered should be too stro&g for our K « e ¥ bor : r " s stomach . "When we recollect the iactnied maxim—no more trite than true—that the i langnsge of action is ranch more powerful than that of words , and when we recollect that our contemprary is he whose banner , on a former occasion , to far evinced his reckless spirit , and , hi ? uoble faring , as to exhibit the device of a King in
Petticoats , with the Crown , falling from his head , and tie bloody Axe of the Executioner as its accom - paniment , we do feel a little wonder that HE who " * as capable of such an appeal to the worst passions ef the most blood-thirsty traitor , should feel any < pa ] m ? about a few hard word * , however well applied . Nor were we less astonished that the only san who ever yet so far forgot the dignity and decency of manhood , as publicly to propose " three ? rosr « for the Queen , " should set up for a Master of , *>* Ceremonies , to tell how far ill manners might be tolerated at a Public Meetinjr . Let the accuser
come into Court with' clean hands . Let our contemporary recall these intimations of the chivalry of his own spirit—let him compare the occasion rtich gave rise to them with the occasion which pve rise to the language to which he objects in I ' - ' Mr . Beaumoxt ' s speech , and then let him be iosest enough to tell the Public which he thinks most deserving of a halter .

to soothe bis savage breast , " again deserted him . Enrased at the nocturnal disturbers , who were loudly bawling—^* awake happy mortals , " he , by applying praise and flattery , drew the " minstrels" under his window , politely asking them to hold up their hats , in order that his bounty might not be lost , and revenged himself by emptying a certain utensil upon the unprotected pates of the eager vocalists , coolly adding—" fair plav , divide it amongst vou—^ pot and all V " . r

- w JtEcoriSBY of Seamen'sWaobs . — -Daniel rlaiebflmei Captain of ^ ship Hebenhoj waa Wnt mo , ned j by William Macintosh , : a seaman , for wag «« alledgid tobe due to hun ; the cai » e *« xeited much ; nterejrt , as . it ^ was expected to decidf ^ sWraVlbther clauses . ; Mr . Thompson , Solicitor , aprearC&fpr the plaintiff , and Mr . Saxelby for the defence . Mr . Thompson was just about to enter upon the cise t when Mr . Parker said thesy were of opinioti that th ? Court had no jurisdiction ; the subjebt nuist cpmis before another tribunal . The circumstances of the of the case , which is one of great importance to marinerti , were detailed by Mr . Thompson on aprityious day p » follows ^ Captain FairbnrrieU ; had
shipped a crew to go in the Hebenho , on a forieign Toyage , and the whole of them had signed articles , but ori mustering in the roads one man was fQund to have absconded ; under ; these circumstances , with a new-jghi p and a valuable cargo ,.- ' the Captain did not think it prudent to sail with a defective crew ) and gave the necessary information to the owners . Soonrafter one pf them came on board and ordered the Captain to sail ^ and the Pilot to do his duty ; the the latter said as the night was coming oh he was not bound to take the ship down , but he would take her into White Booth Roads . The owiier then ordered the Captain to send away the Pilot arid take
her down iimself , but refufed to become responsible for the consequence of his doing so . The anchor was then cast , and soon : after the master was sent for bri shore . In the morriing he : returned with a fresh crew , and prdeTed Mackintosh and the rest of the old crew to get ( Jut the boat . They were ready and willing to perform the voyage according to the articles , but wL « re prevented " -. by the Captain and Owners , and the ship having returned they now claimedJhe stipulated wages which he , Mr . Thompson , had no doubt they were legally entitled to . Thjeir worships having decided that they have no jurisdiction , the trial ; must proceed in one of her Majesty ' s courts of Record .
Nuisances on the Foot Path . —On Saturday last during a short suspension of busines ^ in the Police Court , at Hull , Mr . T . B . Smith , reporter for the JSforthefti Star , rose , and addressing : the Magistrates ^ the Mayor and J . C * Parker , Esq ., said , if their Worships were at leisure , he wished to bring a subject of some importance under the consideration of the Bench;—he alluded to the practice ( always a nuisance , and at the pVesent season likely to be most injurious also , ) of persons throwing bucketa arid other vessels full of foul water
on the foot paths , by which parties had frequently their clothes spoiled , and in the present season frost made portions of the flagged pavements like glass , by which serious accidents were likely to occur . He stated , that a short time since , a near relation of his ^ own had had her bonnet nearly spoiled by this practice , and wished to know if persons were allowed to annoy the public in this manner ? He did not think those who threw their dirty water on tho passengers did it with any malicious intenthe had no doubt it was through carelessness-Tbut it
wasj a inconveuience lor all that . He hoped his application would not be considered intrusive ; he had no doubt that a notice from their Worships would be productive of much good , Mr . Grey , Reporter for the Rockingham , and Mr . Heir , solicitor , contirmed Mr . Smith ' s statement . The Magistrate said , Mr . S . did perfectly right ; the application was a very proper one , and they were on all occasions anxious to do all in their power for the accommodation of the public : The Mayor directed the Magistrates' clerk to look into the Myton Act on the subject , which he did ,. and found that any person placing any tub , chopping block cart
, or other nuisance , on the foot paths , or ( by another clause ) throwJBg dirty water , soap suds , &c , on the same , subjected themselves toa penalty not exceeding £ 5 . Mr . Parker said , no doubt they had the power of persons guilty , if such offences , were brought before them , to punish them , and be hoped , now that the law was known , if the practice was persisted in , somebody would biing the offenders before them , and they would deal with them as the law directs . We hope this decision of the Authorities will have the effect of putting a stop to this abominable nuisance . Those who are in the habit of throwing slops and dirt out of the windows of upper rooms , had better be cautious in future .
Robbery on : Board a Steamer . —A paragraph appeared in some of the provincial papers jast week , stating that a young woman , returnin 0-by the Arrow steamer from Hull to Malton on the Monday previous , had her pockets cut off during .. ' this voyage . We are requested by the respectable proprietor of the Arrow Steamer to state the real tacts of this case , which are , that on the day in question very few passengers were on board the Arrow , and those all of the most respectalUe character ; that there was no outcry made about the robbery on board , nor did he ever hear of it until he saw the account in the papers . The young woman alluded to was absconding from her situation as a domestic servant in- Hull j arid is supposed , to have been Without mortey , arid to hare invented this story for the purpose of exciting sympathy .
Djj ath of Alderman M'Bride . —This gentleman \ yho stoed very high in the estimation of a numerous circle of friends , was , on Thursday week , summoned to pay the debt of nature . Mrs .

M'Bride was only 37 yearts of age , and has left two orphan children to lament their early and : double bereavement . We have received a short memoir of him , frpm which it appears that Mr « M'Bride , as a man , and a Christian , has left a gap behind not easily supplied . :
Accidents from making slides in the Stk eet . — -The mischievous practice of making slides ou the . flagged pavements of the Streets has been since the commencement of the frosty the occasion of several serious accidents . —Two ladies met with a severe fall in Prospect Street ; and an aged man , nearly seventy , was on Friday , taken to the Infiririary , having been thrown down and had his thigh and other bones broken . We are sorry that the notice given by the Maypr on this subject claims so little attention from certain parties . It cannot be amiss ; , if the Police can lay hold of them , to send rfoine of thpse " gentlemen" who find amusemeHt in putting the limbs and lives of their fellow-citizens in danger by their fondness for sliding , to slide on the Tread-Mill for a month . .
Loving Husbands . —A young woman , named Mary Bowl , applied to the Bench to have her husband , Wm . Bowl , bound over to keep the peace towards her . She complained of being frequently struck by him , and had , a short time ago , received from his hands a couple of black eyes . Bowl did not deny his wife's statements ; but complained of her bad temper . He was ordered to enter into his own recognizance , and find two sureties for his future good behaviour . r—A woman named Catherine Hill , charged herjrnisband , John Hill , with ari assault , and neglect of family . She stated that she had three children , who were almost entirely dependent upon her own labour for support ; and that her husband had'been drunk for eighteen successive nights .
