This day closes one of the most eventful commercial years which j has perhaps ever occurreed in the annals of this country, and a j considerable period must elapse before the effects can be wholly obliterated. Tbe year 1837 has been one of almost continual diffi • culty and gloom, caused principally by the disasters which took place in the American trade in the early part of the year, and which indirectly have spread their i n f l u e n c e all over the world. So great is now the extent of English intercourse with the United States, that almost every department of industry is compelled to sympathise with tbe breaking down any stagnation of that once gigantic branch of British trade. The loss of fortune in manufacturing districts has been certainly very severe in consequence of this revolution in the business of the United States, whilst the continued stagnation of the export trade to that country has given little opportunity for profit, or extended operations for ihe regaining o f t h e capital which has been sacrificed by the prostration of so great a number of merchants, both in the country and America. In the East Indian and China trade very e x t e n s i v e depreciations in price, and consequent losses ot capital, bave likewise occurred, and probably in no year has tbe kingdom witnessed the downfall of so many large and powerful mercantile establishments as in ibat which to- morrow altogether closes. To counterbalance the mournful retrospect of the year there is, however, some consolation in reflecting tbat at length the light has fully broken in upon the cause ot these periodical disasters in the mercantile world ; for the discussion in this and other principal journals bave tended to exhibit in all its deformity the power over the Money Market enjoyed by the Bank of England, to the destruction of all permanent commercial prosperity, and to which is so clearly to be traced the misfortunes which have occurred in the present year to so many thousands of tbe families of merchants, manufacturers, shipowners, and thousands upon thousands of the manufacturing population of the north. The irregular management, to say the least, of that institution is now known to be the prime cause of the season of misery, but it is indeed, a consolatory and cheerful reflection that tile panic of 1837 will most probably have been the last which the now exposed mismanagement of the Bank of England will be able to create, ..

The main complaint now is, that the prices are not sufficiently remunerating, but few or none, as to the amount of business transacted. Prices for every description of goods firm, and with an upward tendency. Wool steady. LEEDS, TUESDAY... We are decidedly in better demand to- duyand large quantifies of goods have changed hands. This improving state of things of late has induced some principal manufacturers to extend their make. There did not appear any very extensive sales made, but this was compensated for by their number. We cannot confidently hay, that prices were decidedly higher though the tone of things is clearly in that direction. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.— Although tbis was what is called Christmas market, which is generally nominal, rather than real \ yet we bad a very fair amount of business transacted, and in many instances, and for most goods, improving prices were realised. The stocks are evidently very fast diminishing, which puts the manufacturer in goods spirits, thus enabling him to anticipate with certainty that there will not only be a fair trade, but a fair profit.. BRADFORD, THURSDAY.— There was a fair business done to day in our piece market, though some complaints are afloat that tbe amount transacted was scarcely an average; but as higher rates were asked, and the sellers firm, to this may no doubt be attributed some purchases not being made. Things on the whole are better. Yarns— The demand continues good, and spinners quite firm in their demands. Wool— There is a decidedly better demand for this article, and Ihe staplers experienced no difficulty to day in obtaining tbe full advance which has taken place during the last few weeks. having received my instructions to move on St. Denis, and to attack tbe rebels occupying that village, he marched from Sorel on the lst, instant, with eight companies under his command, and three field pieces. Tbe rebels on the approach of ber Majesty's troops abandoned tlieir position and dispersed, leaving the arms and ammunition which they bad collected in the village. Colonel Gore, being informed that the principal leaders of tbe rebels had retired to St. Hyacinthe, marched to that town, by St. Charles, on the 4tb instant, but on ascertaining tbat Wolford Nelson, Papineau, and the other leaders of the revolt, had made their escape, he returned to St. Charles. It appears, from the report of Colonel Gore, which is annexed, that the habitans in the neighbourhood of St. Hjncinthe have returned to tbeir homes; and l am persuaded that the march of the troops through that part of the country bas already produced a good effect.

Montreal, Dec. 7, 1837. SIR— I have the honour to report that I arrived at Sorel on Thursday evening, the 30th November, with tbe force under niv command.* On the morning of the 1st December. Iattemptcd to break through the ice in the Richelieu, with the steam boat John Bull, but on proceeding a mile, found it impracticable, when I landed and proceeded to St. Ours, where I halted for the night and proceeded on the following morning on the road to St. Denis, which I entered without opposition, that place having been abandoned the night before. The property of the rebel Wolfred Nelson was, in the course of the day and next morning, destroyed, and also the fortified house and all file defences, On the morning of the 4th I marched on Saint Charles, where I arrived at noon, with five companies and two guns, having left at St. Denis three companies and one gun, under Major Reid, 32d regiment. Having received information that, some of the rebel chiefs were at St. Hyacinthe, 1 immediatly proceeded, according to your Excellency's orders, to that, place, which I entered in the evening ; and surrounded the house where Papineau usually resided, at that place ; it was strictly searched, but without finding him. 1 was accompanied by Mon. Crenier, the Parish Priest, who gave me every information in his power, and, I am happy to say, that it his opinion that the babitans now begin to see their folly, and that they have been grossly misled. They have returned to their homes in the whole of the counties between the Richelieu and the Yamaska, and gave every assistance required for transport. I halted the troops on the 4th at Hyacint. be. The Cure called an assembly of the principle inhabitants ; be addressed them with great eloquence, showing the selfish designs of their leaders, the folly of being led by them from their allegiance, exhorted them to continue in their homes and assist in arresting the rebel chiefs, and which they promised to do. 1 returned to St. Charles in the evening, directing the force at Hyaeinthe to return next day ; tteo companies of the 83d to occupy St. Charles, with one gun; three companies and one gun St. Denis, with a detachment at St. Omers, and, taking the remainder of the force, four companies of the 32d, and a bowiize r, " returned to Sorel, and arrived here this forenoon at II o'clock. This operation has produced the best effect possible— it has opened the eyes of the babitans in these populous dis tricts, where the influence of the rebel leaders was great, and snown tbe habi: tans her Majesty's troops, where their presence was least expected. The howitzer, which was left on the road, was recovered. An iron gun taken, and considerable quantities of arms and ammu: nition found at St. Denis, were destroyed. 1 bave, & e. ( Signed) CHARI.

Of Irish flour however, the arrivals continue to afford a fair, and of oatmeal good supply. The diminution in the stock of wheat in this port, alluded to in our circular of Friday last, tbe stability evinced on Tuesdaj, and tbe present arrivals being extremely light, conduced to strengthen the firm impression stated in the early part of the week; and during the last two days, holders of tbis grain, tho' not aided by any lively demand, bave been requiring rathe higher prices, whilst all other articles of the corn trade, within the same period, remained unvaried. At the opening of our market this morning, all descriptions of free Wheat con tiuued to be held with firmness, at an advance of 2d. per 701bs upon Tuesday's rates ; but, having a very limited number of town and country buyers in attendance, and no extensive show of fine samples, the trade closed rather heavily at our last quotations.— Flour was in moderate request on the terms last named— Barley upon a very small supply, fully supported late prices... Malt, beans and peas were difficult of sale, and tbe turn cheaper. Prime oats, ill partial instances, realized a small amendment; but the transactions were not readily effected, and prices were more ge nerally upon a par with our last currency. MANAGING DIRECTOR...

TWO different objects being generally contemplated in effecting Life Insurances, some persons desiring to secure only a fised anil certain Sum to be received at their Decease, and to pay no more than may be sufficient for that purpose, while others prefer paying larger Premiums for tbe purpose of participating in the Septennial Profits, the Directors have caused Tables to be prepared, by which an option is given to effect Insurances in either way, and persons Assured for the Whole of Life upon the higher cale, will be entitled to receive their proportion of three- fourths sf the Profits arising from all the Insurances of that Class. The orofits will be declared every Seven Years, but no Insurer will e entitled lo participate therein until he shall have paid Six Annual Premiums, . such profits may be appropriated, either as additions to the Sum insured, or in diminution of the annual Premium payable on the Policy, the assurer making bis election at the time the division of Profit is made. Atthe first Septennial division of the profits in Dec. 1835, a bonus, amounting to £ 2 5 7s lOd per cent, on the premiums paid, was declared to all persons assured on the Participation Scale, on whose Policies six Premiums had been paid. The future division of profits will be declared at the end of every succeeding seven vears. INSURANCE OF SPECIAL RISKS. To meet tbe convenience of those who may be desirous of insuring Lives, that from any cause may not be of tbat select class whichonly are admitted at tbe common rate of premium, persons may be assured by this Company who are in Naval or Military service.... engaged in Trading, Coasting, or other Voyages,... or going to or residing in every part of the world,... and also such as are of infirm health, or suffering from previous Disorder, Chronic disease, peculiar form or accident of any kind,... on payment of premiums in each case adapted to the nature ofthe risk. Persons from any cause wishing to discontinue their Policies, may dispose of them lo the Company at a fair price. The Company make no charge for entrance- money, nor for Policies beyond the amount of the Stamp. THE ENDOWMENT OF CHILDREN. Children may be Endowed on the Terms which may be learn- • d on application at tbe office. PURCHASE OF ANNUITIES.

Lord Gosford has issued a proclamation, offering 2,000 dollars for the discovery and apprehension of the murderers of Lieut. Weir. Free Press Office, Burlington, Dec. 12. Appearances now warrant the belief that the Canada war is at an end for the present. We have good reason for believing that there is at the present moment no embodied armed force in the LowerProvince in opposition to the government. During the past week troops have passed through the disturbed district without opposition, visiting St. Denis, St. Charles, and St. Hyacinth, burning the property of Nelson and other obnoxious individuals. The gathering at the Lake of Two Mountains, it is also said has dispersed. The p reclamation of martial law in the district of Montreal, and the offer of large rewards for the arrest of the leading patriots, have driven a large number across the line, into the States. Among others, Mr. T. S. Brown arrived at this place on Monday. It is now rendered very certain, that the late movement in Canada was an event not anticipated by the leading radicals, and of course not provided for. There seems to have been no concert among the head men, and nothing of that kind of preparation necessary to sustain and carry on a revolutionary movement. M. Papineau, as we now learn, has been in no way cognizant of what has taken place at St. Denis and St. Charles ; and up to the present time his location is not known. ( From the Montreal Herald, Dec. 7.) Reports were current in town yesterday that about three hundred Americans have joined Papineau, and that more were hourly expected. Dr. Robert Nelson, of this city, said to be in the neighbourhood of Fort Covington raising men. We have received a letter from Vaudruil, dated the 22d ultimo, with a postscript dated the lst inst. owing to the writer's inability to send it by post. It mentions that about 100 men are riding about the country spreading terror and threatening vengeance, and brutally ill- using all those who he sitate to join them in their rebellious enterprise. The British who are loysl, knowing what they have to expect from such characters, have united to a man for mutual defence, and have removed their families. Correspondence of the Albany Daily Advertiser. A correspondent at Lewiston, under date of the 6th instant, writes—" Alarm bells are now ringing at Niagara, and it is reported that 1,500 Radicals, on their march, are within four miles of Niagaia." We have information, in which we place confidence, that M Papineau has gone into the state of Maine, or more probably into the disputed territory, where he is endeavouring to raise volunteers by promises of land and plunder.. Commercial Ad vertiser. prepare petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons thereupon." The meeting was appointed to assemble at 12 or 1 o'clock ami shortly before the latter hour the great room was completely filled by a respectable audience. At the time named, tbe gentlemen who appeared to constitute the committee entered tiie room, and with some difficulty forced their way to the platform. Among those present we noticed Sir W. Molesworth M P Mr' Grote, M. P., JUr. Hume, M. P., Mr. Leader, M. P., Mr. Roebuck. Col. Thompson, and Dr. Wade. Mr. PROUT then came forward, and moved tbat Mr. Hume do take tbe chair. The motion having been seconded, the hon. member advanced, and was received with cheering, which was however, immediately drowned by groaning and hisses. A general scene of confusion then commenced at. the lowfcr end of the room, which ultimately terminated in comparative silence being restored. Mr HUME came forward and said that when he entered the room he had not been aware that he was about to be called to the chair. That honor, however, having been conferred on him, it was bis duty to demand tfieir attention to tbe sentiments of the different speakers. He had never attended a public meetinowith greater anxiety, and he assured those present that it was on° ly because he desired to secure justice to all, and happiness to Great Britain in particular, that he was induced to attend this day. The colonial policy of the country had for many years past engaged his attention, and he had ever raised his voice against the acts of the oppressor of those who had left their native land in order to form a colony at a distance of manv thousand miles from the mother country. Intelligence, they* knew, had been received from the Canadian possessions, of the existence of slrife in that country, and he regretted that a portion of the public press should have attempted to deceive the peopl • of England by representing those'who had resorted to arm liens to British blood. The Canadian nation were as much subjects of the British Crown as the colonists of any other of tlieir possessions. They had also been told that the Canadians had no cause of complaint. Did tliev believe that the people of that courirry would brave the ho'rrors of a North American winter, would risk their lives and sacrifice their property, if they were not suffering under grie vances the most distressing ( Hear) ? But the House of Commons itself had admitted the existence of grievances, and if any further confirmation were required, it would be found in the fact of the petition the crown and tbe English Legislature, adopted by the Assembly ot Lower Canada, in 1334 and 1835, having been pass ed by seven- eights of tbe members of that House. If it were then undeniable that such cause of complaint was valid sure'y it be lioved tbe English public to protect their Canadian fellow- subjects from further oppression ( Cheers.) They would be told that the honour and dignity ofthe British Crown must be maintained • he admitted the fact, but thought the most proper and the easiest means of maintaining that dignity would be to do justice imnar tially to all men. He would only ask, in conclusion whether these men were to be taunted as rebellious subjects who during the whole period of the Ameridan war, , had almost entirely protected that portion ol the British possessions still remaining to us ( Cheers.) He firmly believed that it was the desire of the" Canadian nation to remain at peace with Great Britain, and that it was only when the Ministers of this country bad adopted the Hano~ verian system of Gcvemmen-.( Gmjf uproar), . that they most reluctantly took up arms to protect themselves from oppression ( C \ e e ' ^ 0 » - h . t value would be the North American possessions to tbe Crown of England if it were necessary to maintain a war in that country, or if it were requisite to expend the resources of Britain in transporting to and maintaining a standing army on the American shores 1 Conciliation, humanity, must now be the order of tbe day, and it was to promote those objects that this meeting was assembled. He thanked them for the patient attention they had given to his remarks, and would now call on Mr Leader to propose the first resolution. The hon. member sat down amidst much confusion, which was resumed on Mr. Leader's rising to address the meeting.

Whereas there exists in the district of Montreal a traitor ous conspiracy by a number of persons styling themselves Patriots, for the subversion of the authority of her Majesty and the destruction of the established Constitution and Go vernment of the said Province ; and whereas the said traitorous conspiracy has broken out into acts of the most daring and open rebellion ; and whereas such rebellion has very considerably ex tended itself, insomuch that large bodies of armed traitors have openly arrayed themselves, and have made, and do still make, attacks upon her Majesty's forces, and have committed the most horrid excesses and cruelties ; and whereas, in the parts of the said district in which the said conspiracy hath not broken out in open rebellion, largenumbers of such persons, so calling themselves patriots, for the execution of such their wicked designs nave planned means of open violence, and formed public arrangements for raising and arming an organized and disciplined force, and in furtherance of their purposes, have frequently assembled 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 ofthe lives and properties of her Majesty's loyal subjects; And whereas the courts of justice in the said district of Montreal have virtually ceased, from the impossibility of executing any legal process of warrant of arrest therein , Now, therefore, I, Archibald, Earl of Gosford, General- in- Chief, and Captain- General in and over the said province of Lower Canada, by and with the advice, and consent of her Majesty's Executive Counsel for this province, have issued orders to Lieutenant- General Sir John Colborne, commanding her Majesty's forces in the same, to arrest and punish all persons acting, aiding, or in any manner assisting in the said conspiracy and rebellion which now exists in the said district of Montreal, and which have broken out in the most daring and violent attack upon her Majesty's forces, according to martial law, either by death or otherwise, as to them shall seem right and expedient for the punishment and suppression of all rebels in the said districts, of which all her Majesty's subjects in the province are hereby required to take notice.

He wished these things to be sifted, and the time would come when the people of ngland would sift tbem. It mijjht nut be to- day or next week, ut it would come. If they looked to the west they would see a Parliament House given up " to the use of the soldiers ;" these were the very words. If they looked to Hanover they whuldsee an absolute monarch undertaking to reform a constitution... ( Laughter). What ground was there for confidence in the present Ministers, who by the violation of their pledges had been guilty of conduct which would cause men to be expelled from private society. ( Hear and cheers.) Some people, however, were in the habit of exclaiming, " Oh ! we misht have worse." Yes, indeed, he knew where there could be found a set of Ministers somewhat worse. In conclusion he called upon the meeting to support the people of Canada, . to forgive what was weak, . aad to strengthen what was strong, and to collect as strong a force of public opinion in their behalf as should be sufficient to compel Ministers to retrace their steps. .( Cheers.) Dr. W A D E held that nations as well as individuals were destined by God to be happy and free...( Cheers.) They were entitled to humanity and justice. .( Cheers.) The Ministers having denied humanity and justice to tbe Canadians, must be considered as the beginners of an offensive war, and would be responsible for all the blood shed by those whom they had sent to butcher the Canadians. It might be said that the Canadians had struck the first blow, .( cheers)... but it was not the first blow that was to be considered the o'igin of war, but the cause of that first blow.( CTieen). A s a Christian clergyman, he detested war altogether.. ( Loud and repeated dueling).. He would not hold up tbe scales to balance between property and human blood. He hated war, and he despised the present Ministers for provoking the people of Canada to war. Lord John Russell and the other Ministers had acted like the satyr in the fable ; they blew heat onlreland because she was powerful, but cold on Canada because she was weak.. ( Cheers).. He held the Ministers to be unchristian, because they had shut up the schools in Canada..( C h e e r s ) . . Who are the rebels 1 Not the Canadians. It was laid down as a political axiom that a whole people could never rebel.— Such a thing was a solecism in political language. . it was impossible ! He would shew tbem on the authority of Locke who were the rebels.— Locke said, " Legislators are for the service of the people— for the protection of their liberties and their properties"— and he added moreover, " If they violate tbem, or neglect them, the legislators are rebels." They all knew what theLegislative Council had done to upset the liberties ofthe people. It was a mock sort of bastard House of Lords- ( Cheers and laughter.).. The Canadian Treasury had been robbed. Jobbers had been fixed on them. They had been swindled on every side, and a hungry aristocratic crew had been permitted to plunder them. The Canadians, therefore, had as much right to resist as any individual in that country wben a highwayman attacked them and threatened to rob and throttle tbem Who. then, were the t r a i t o r s~ ( Loud cries f the ' Whigs) The Ministers were the traitors, and they had shown themselves the cause of robbing the Crown, by not keeping the Canadians in connection with the British country. The great bond of union between the mother country and the colonies was mutual utility, and when that was put an end to, the union should be dissolved. Such was the case in the histories of Greece and Rome, where the conquered countries were allowed to support their own governors and enact their own laws, but he supposed it did not become them, who were Christians, to imitate the conduct of heathens. It was the duty of the people of England to stand forward on the present occasion. He would sit down by repeating a* motto which he would have inscribed on every banner in Canada— ' In Freedom let Canadians live, And brave the death which tyrants give.' ., ( Or eat cheering.) Mr. JOHN BELL rose to move an amendment ( Cries of' who are yaul An individual on the platform replied— The Editor of the T R U E SUN). If the meeting wonld be quiet he would tell tbem who he was. He admitted tbe Canadians laboured under grievances, but would the hon. chairman and the gentlemen who supported him, the parliamentary radicals, would they state that the productive classes of England laboured under no grievances? ( Cries of Question.) He stood alone.. he had not spoken to any gentleman of his intentions, . he did not know that he would find any one to second bis amendment. The working classes of England were obliged to sell their children for factory slaves ( Interruption.) The handloom weavers were compelled to work ten houis a day for 5s. a week ( Question, question, and interruption, ) After a while Mr. B E L L said... If you do not hear me, gentlemen, you will bear no one else to- day. The worthy gentleman proceeded to read the amendment. As well as we could hear it for the interruption, it was for postponing the consideration of the Canadian grievances until those of the English working classes were redressed. Do you deem the new Poor- law no grievance?. .( Loud eries of'' no." " down," " chair.") In the midst of tbe uproar, Mr. D U F F Y suggested the propriety of withdrawing the amend, ment. Mr. BEI. L. . Cwith vehemence)— I will not withdraw the amendment. The CHAIRMAN put it to the meeting whether the subject of Canada ought not to be proceeded witb.. ( Loud cries of " Yes,' and tremendous cheering.) Tlie original resolution was carried amidst loud applause. Mr. GROTE, M P. then came forward, and was received with loud cheering. The Hon. Gentleman commenced by reading tne second resolution, which was to the following effect:— " That this meeting desire to mark with peculiar reprobation the iniquitous determination to seize and apply the monies in the Canadian Treasury, in direct repugnance to the Acts of theHouse of Assembly, whose exclusive right to grantor withhold supplies has been solemnly guaranteed by the British Parliament," He was quite surethat the fact alluded to in the Resolution, required only to be distinctly stated, without amplification or comment, in order to move the inmost feelings of every assembly o Englishmen When the resolutions of Lord John Russell were proposed in the spring ol last year, he ( Mr. G . ) had offered to thnm all the opposiiion which a Member of Parliameut coul employ ; but he regretted that he had only the support of a ver small minority. He was astonished to see such resolutions proposed by a man like Lord J. Russell, deeply read in the British Constitution, and peculiarly sensible to the weight of historica authority. If any one had told him ( Mr. G . ) in the year 1831, when he heard Lord John Russell propose the Reform Bill, that he should afterwards bear bim propose resolutions to deprive the people os Canada of their liberties, lie would not bave believed it. It. was said that the Canadians had no grievances, and in support of that assertion he was told that they live in a state of great social comfort and independence and tbat they were lightly taxed. But that social comfort was- common to all tha people of the whole Continent of North America, ( Htar.) It would have belonged to the Canadians if tliey had remained a Colony of France. The English government never gaoe it t them, nor did he think that government could take it away. Certainly, as their enemies asserted, they were lightly taxed. But was heavy taxation the only thing a people could complain of! Had the people of Hanover nothing to complain of when Kin Ernest violated iheir political rights ? But King Ernest bad also taken off taxes. Let them look to Ireland The Irish people had never been very heavily taxed. From that grievance they, as tbe Canadians had escaped. ( Cries of hear.) But had they nothing to complain of in the long course of misgovernment and oppression which lliey had recently to some extent been relieve the benevolent government of Lord Mulgrave. .( Cries of hear, hear, and repeated cheering.) And it was his ( Mr. G's.) opinion, that if Lord Mulgrave had been sent out to Conada witi bis bands free, and with full power lo carry into effect his own wise and benevolent views the resolutions of Lord John Russell would never have been heard of, nor would the melancholy occurrences which had brought that meeting tbis day together have ever taken place. The felicitous results which had attended the administration of Lord Mulgrave in Ireland appeared to him te illustrate most strongly the contrast between tbe adoption of that course and that pursued tovards Canada, The Canadian Executive Government had employed the same means as the Irish Executive Government did in Ireland, previous to the administratio of Lord Mulgrave. The cause stated by Lord John Russell, for taking away from the House of Assembly the right of interfering with the funds of the country was, that tbey had dealt with them in an improper manner previously. He denied that they had done so, and he would assert that the very complaint which Lord John made against the House of Assembly in Canada, might be made with equal justice against the House of Commons in this country who had taken the controul of the revenues of England on tbe same grounds as the House of Assembly had done. They would find that in the reign of William III. particularly, the House of Commons had refused the supplies, on the distinct and specific grounds that the King's negative had been put upon a bill for abolishing triennial Parliaments, then on its passage through the Houses of Parliament. .( Cheers ) He was sorry to say that Lord John Russell had overlooked all that portion of history which would have made so strongly against the act he recommended ; and he regretted further, that he had confined himself to that which from the beginning of Colonial Government had unhappily beset and deluded every Colonial minister, by trusting to nothing but the statements of official personages in the Colonies. He did not mean your own. You | to say that the Canadians had not made some demands which it of troops for the was not proper to grant; but he would say that on all great oc- . .1..:. c a s i o n s t( , ey had been behind the necessity rather than asked too much, ( cheers.) When such is the state of things, I do especially grateful at seeing this meeting before me and I have several good reasons for being so. First, it proves at least ( Confusion and cries of' turn him out.' • he's one of Murray's men.') If there be in this asseinblv any friends of Tory domination, or Whis; misrule, I only hope they would come forward in a manly manner. We are here to argue tbe question. The great assembly before me proves that you have not been deluded by the gross misrepresentations of ihe London daily Press.— ( Great Cheers.) They have been doing all that they can to urge tbeCanadiansto war, because they differed from usin opinion & above all, because they have been bold enough to protest against the insulting conduct of Ministers. Some of the Tory " press are quite rabid against us ; they seemed to think that some of us should be hanged for the peace of jhe world ( Cheers.) They have rio reason on their side, and therefore it is that tbey have recourse to this slander. The whole of the Whig daily press have followed their Tory leader ( Cries of " the tap tub.") We have heard of collision in the. House of Commons, but hero we have a collisions between the Tory and Whig daily press of London. ( Cries of the " tap- tub." The Whig papers like tiie Tories, have been grossly misrepresenting the question of Canada, and urging you to tight against it. All the great interests were against theai. There is the shipping interest, the American land company interests and the aristocratic tnterest. All the monopolising interests which are opposed to the great interests of nations, are arrayed against us— they are all in arms against us, attacking us, slandering us, and denouncing us as traitors to our country..'. ( Groans) And what is the cause of all this outburst of VVb'i" and Tory venom against us 1 It is this, Ihat they dread to express their real opinions, . that they dread to blame the conduct of the Government and the aristocracy, . that thev dread to ask that " justice for Canada" which the Whig's themselves ask for Ireland. ( Great chsering.) That, gentlemen, is Ihe cause of the outcry against us; but you know 1 will not join in that Whig and Tory outcjy ( Cries of'- no, no.) No person ever rebelled on slight grounds. You may be sure that it required strong inducements to act in that way, who have been oppressed by long continued wrong ( a voice in the crowd here repeatedly called out, '* What are the grievances 1" which occasioned considerable interruption, which was at length put an end to by Mr. Place exclaiming, " Send him up or" send him out." If I were to stop in order to go into all the details of the grievances, I would detain you till to- morrow morning. I ask you then, will you support theGovemment in theirattempt to put down the people of Canada by the force of arms. ( No.) Ten or twelve thousand troops may in the Spring go over and put down the Canadians, as the pin ase is, but could the Canadians in such a case ever look upon this country with feelings of affectionate regard. ( Criesof no.. Are there any Irishmen ill this room. ( C'iesof yes.) To you 1 appeal to come forward, and assert the rights of the Canadians. ( Hear, hear.) It is the Orangemen who have oppressed Canada, that have oppressed and insulted you at home. ( Hear.) I will now, gkntlemen read the resolution which has been entrusted to me. " 1. That this meeting, while they deeply lament the disastrous disturbances now existing in the Colony of Lower Canada, are of opinion that tbis deplorable occurrence is to be ascribed to the misconduct ot tho British ministry, in refusing timely address to tbe repeated complaints of the Canadian people, and in attempting to sustain that refusal by measures of gross injustice and coercion. Col. THOMPSON seconded tbe resolution, and said that if his will only had been consulted, the resolution would have been another kind of a resolution altogether, and a much stronger one. If lhe Miivistersof the Crown had endeavoured to take the supplies of tbis country by means of military force, what would Englishmen have called it? ( A voice in the meeting " Treason") He thanked the gentleman for tbat word. Treason in England was treason in Canada, and lie stood there to avow and to maintain that tbe Ministers of the Crown, in attempting to seize on the revenues against the consent of the Representative Assembly, had committed an act of treason, which the British people, if they were not unwise, would not fail to punish when they had the power—( Loud cheers). Strong words should be proved.. I refei you to the history of tbis country. Do you ask what page in that history 1 You will hear of it somewhere about Whitehall. There was a glorious scene of substantial justice nnee enacted in that neighbourhood which has been said to give a " crick in the neck" to every monarch at least once a year.. ( Laughter and cheers). Tbis is our precedent. Is it policy, is it wisdom to force us again to appeal to i t . . ( Loud cheers). We come forward here to denounce what we consider a case of oppression and injustice, on the part of the Ministers against the Canadian people. ( Cheers ) Fancy the case maintain, necessarily, in some degree a body defence of this country, but would you like them to put tlieir hands into your pockets 1 ( Laughter and cheers.) It was a sad thing to see military execution let loose uoon any people. But : trust that the people of England would consider whether they look to what had been done in Canada. ( Hear.) Not only had can justify it to themselves and their own good reason and good military execution been let loose, but it had not been limited to feeling to sanction the use of force and coercion against a peopl* THE CORK SOUTHERN REPORTER. CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. who have not sinned against us even in the smallest jot— who have done no harm to any of our brethren— a people who live jn peace and in amity, both among themselves and with our English brethren who inhabit the country— a people whose generosity and kindness. of character, and whose hospitality to every one, is proverbial— I ask whether the people of England can recon: cile it to their own views of political prudence ( to put the matter only on a question of prudence) whether they can reconcile it to their own views of good feeliug and prudence, to go to war against a colony like Canada, and to hold that colony, when they shall have subdued it, in defiance ofthe affections and inclinations of the people themselves, and close in contact with Ihe border of the United States. After some further remarks the hon. gentleman moved the resolution, which was carried amid great spplause. Mr ROEBUCK said that he came forward in a two- fold character ... to express his opinion as a British citizen, and as the advocate ofthe cause of Canada. However insolent her enemies might be. the inhabitants of that country would assuredly prove successful against both the calumnies of a hireling press and the machinations of a paltry body of miserable monopolists, ( cheers.) And for what was this meeting assemhled this day .. to express the opinion of British citizens at a moment when we were about to plunge into a civil war, dangerous at all times, but more parti: cularly so when waged in a country so closely connected with the most liberal and most happy territory in tho universe He would remind them ofthe conduct of Canada in 1784. Did the Cana: dians then desert the mother country ? No: they acknowledged that Britain had done her duty towards them, and left it for the descendant of the so-. called Liberal Russels to declare that tho compact between a great nation and her province but as the parchment on which it was written. The petty minds of the pre: 6entMinistry were not equal to this great question ; they treated it as the minor business of a sleeping Colonial Secretary, and sent forth through their press the declaration of their determination to quell the cry of liberty by again raising the watchword of Pitt. But it was said that Canada had no grievances to complain of Now if they looked at the defeated attempts of the Legislature to pass a Jury Law— property to manage their own funds— to improve the education ofthe inhabitants, and properly to restrain the introduction of thousands of pauper emigrants. .. objects which had been defeated by the Legislative Council, awed by the Colonial Government, would such a declaration be adhered to for another instant' Striving thus up to 1834, and defeated in their every object, the colonists at last determined on demanding an elective council ; they were told that this was a desirable object to attain, but no attempt wa; ever made to effect it. The next step taken by the Government was to charge the Canadian Assembly with hav: ing stopped the supplies. He threw back upon the Home Secre: tary this foul aspersion. The Canadian Legislature never had stopped the supplies ; they had certainly refused to pass a per: n. anent civil list act, but annually they sent to the Legislative Council a bill for providing for the expenses of tbe year, which bill was, during several consecutive sessions, thrown out by the Legislative Council. Meetings were then hold throughout the province, at which language was useil of a character not half so treasonable as that spoken at every Orange meeting in GreatBri: tain; and the consequence was numerous arrests... the prisoners made were rescued by the peasantry. ( Cheers. ) The troops met the peasants, the poor peasants, and the troops were beaten.— ( Tremendous cheering, followed by " Th'ee cheers for the Canadian peasants,' which was'heurtily responded to. ) The ire of the authori: ties was roused. A large body of the military was sent, against the peasantry, and they succeeded in burning the villages ofSt. Charles and St. Denis. But the people of England were not aware of tho full extent of the injury committed by burning the houses of these peasants : before they could appreciate their sufferings, they must be aware of the inclemency and horror of a Canadian winter... Mr. Roebuck then accused the daily press of confederating to misrepresent the conduct of the Canadians ; and in particular he deprecated tde conduct of the Morning Chronicle. He said, ' I am in the habit of speaking my opinion freely. 1 fear no man.... 1 deal in no inuendos. I am not accustomed to shrink from mentioning names, and I shall give you that of a large landed proprietor of Canada, who is connected wilh one of the morning news, papers, and that paper is the Morning Chronicle. One of the pro: prietors of that paper is Mr. Gillivray, who is married to the daughter of Mr. Easthope, another proprietor, and who is and has been long connected in a somewhat unexplained mercantile transaction with Mr. Edward Ellice, of Bcauharnais, a gentleman who had gone about in upholding a meddling and mischievous course of policy, to which he was peculsarly attached— who had in all places where he could sown the seeds of dissension and deception, and had told each ministry, one after another, ' These are a poor, spiritless set of men, who can bo easily put down by a proper display of military force.' The Morning Chronicle has preached the same doctrine. Now, 1 want to know what is the value of these statements in the Morning Chronicle when you know the genealogy of the articles 1 ( Laughter and cheers.) Is it not a mockery for Mr. Gillivray to urge that the French Canadians should be overwhelmed by force, and then to talk of constitutional liberty ? Their principles are tyranny, their end plunder. The people of England will be unwise even for their own interests to take their own opinions from this Press,— ( Loud cheers) This press is connected with the shipping interests— with the monopoly of bad timber— which costs you 1,500,00: 11. annually, and which the Canadian Parliament have authorised me to say they desire to see removed. This press is connected with the British American Land Company ! 1 will tell you what it ought to be called...' The British American White Slave Company.'...( Loud cheers.) It is nothing more than apian to cast desolate upon the shores of America paupers of this country, in order to reap from their labour a base dividend...( Tremendous cheering.) I say a press thus connected is not tit to be the advisor ofthe people of England."...( Cheers.) Before he concluded, he begged to remind them of the censequences of the war into which they were about to plunge. Theirs would be ( and no man of a thinking mind would conceivo otherwise) the disgrace of defeat— theirs the expenses of the contest, which, even if it ended favourably, would only burden them with the support of a discontented people. And supposing ( which God ferbid) that there should be a contest between this country and America respecting a boundary, or some olher question of equal importance, the consequences of the disaffection of Canada might be so disastrous to the Mother Country as for ever to restrain her powers, and might even reduce her to the state of a miserable dependency, rotten before the grave. The Hon. Member having seconded the resolution, sat djwn amid loud and frequently renewed cheering from the audience. The motion was then put, and having been carricd. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH moved the following resolution— ~ That this meeting earnestly and solemnly call upon the people of England to meet in counties, cities, boroughs, towns, parishes, and trades, and to adopt such proceedings as may to their judgment be most likely to induce ^ Ministers to revise their measures and accede to the wishes of the people for peace. The HON. BARONET said... I still maintain that the grievances of tbe Canadians are real ones, and that thoy have acted, as Englishmen have acted, and would act, in similar circumstances It well becomes the generous spirit of the people of this great empire to take especial care that injustice should never be done to those who are connected with them either by the ties of blood or allegiance ; but at the same time care sliou'. d betaken that, under the specious pretext of preventing injustice, cunning and unscrupulous men should not, by appealing to your kindlier feelings, obtain Dower and dominion for a party more execrable than the orange fiction in Ireland .. a party so furious in its opposition to all liberal principles that, according to the commissioners whose inclinations are evidently in favour of their party, any important concessions of a popular description would have driven them to acts of violence and outrage. I ask, what moral advantage will you, a free people, gain by this struggle against freedom, by disclaiming with regard to your own colonies those principles upon which you have acted with regard to the colonies of every nation in Europe? ( Hear, hear, and. cheers.) No one can doubt sf this great empire put forth its enormous resources, it can crush our revolted subjects in Canada. The utmost advantage, if advantage it can be called, which this country will reap, will be to prove its superior power, and to show that twenty millions of Britons are stronger than a few hundred thousands of Frcnch Canadians. For this worthless gratification of national vanity is it consistent with your feelings of justice, is it in accordance with your notions of morality... does it agree " with your duties as Christian men, to plunge into all the horrors of civil strife ? Remember Ian unjust war is the greatest of crimes I The despots and the tyrants of the earth have too often repeated with impunity those crimes against humanity. Will you, a free and powerful nation, sanction by \ our conduct similar outrages. by engaging in an unholy struggle against a people whe feel themselves aggrieved, and that they ought to be free ? To this I reply, I think every Briton ought to reply, wilh an indignant negative. Tho hon. baronet, who was loudly cheered throughout, concluded - by moving the third resolution. Mr. J. CRAWFORD seconded the resolution. Mr DUFFY wished to put a plain question fo any member ofthe Legislature present.

We received on Sunday the London Evening Papers of Thursday and Friday, those of the latter day hy the Victory, Steamer— not due in course until yesterday. The Journals of Monday reached this morning. THE FUNDS. CITY, 12 O'CLOCK, SATURDAY— Excepting the mails from t h e Continent we have no foreign arrivals to- day, and even the inland post is much retarded by the state of the weather. The annoucement of the state of the Revenue for the last quarter appears to have made a favourable impression in the City, as Stocks have advanced I per cent, on the closing prices of yesterday; the increase of •£ 212,000 on the quarter, as compared with that of 1836, although not so large as could be wished, still proves that we have surmounted the difficulties opposed to our commercial prosperity, which is now returning- ; and we trust that the next and following quarters will afford still stronger evidence of the return of good times. There was little done in exchanges yesterday. The rate on Amsterdam continues to advance in consequence of the purchases here of stock for Dutch account ; the others remain precisely the same as last post. Amsterdam was 12- 4 to 2$ ; Hamburg, 13.124 to a ; and Paris, 25.824 to 874t Business is very flat in most of the leading articles of foreign trade, which probably arises in some measure from the season of the year, when most persons are engaged in balancing their books and show a disinclination for new business. Many of the articles which have advanced greatly within the last four months are now offered on lower terms without tempting purchasers on a large scale ; we may instance indigo, tea, and cotton, as well as sugar, coffee, and silk in a greater or less degree. We believe the expected abundance of money arising from the payment of dividends next week has been generally anticipated by speculators of all classes in their operations of late: Consols are now open for private transfer ; the price is 904 to 3 ex Divipend, and for the account on the 16th instant they are 924 to 4 : New 34 per Cents, are 97^ to 98 ex - Eividend j and Exchequer Bills, 49to51for Old, and 47 to 49 for Rew Bills at 2d per diem. Two O'CLOCK.— We have nothing new since the morning. Consols are 924 to i for Account. Exchequer Bills are Is dearer. Spanish Bonds are 19j to i ; and Bralillian, 724 to 73. THE REVENUE. From the Globe of Saturday. We lay before our readers the Revenue accounts ot the quarter. On the whole proceeds of the quarter it is satisfactory to observe that there is an increase of £ 213,360. This increase arises in the Customs, and shows that the commerce of the country is recovering from the difficulties under which it laboured at the commencement of the year. There is a deficiency on the Customs for the year, arising from the anticipated payment of tea duties in the middle of 1835. The reduction of the stamps on newspapers, and the transfer of the post- liorse duty from the Stamps to the Excise, will more than account for the deficiency in that branch, both in the quarter and the year. The difference of the Taxes is but trifling, and probably ia to be accounted for by some accidental variation in the time of payments, or in the recovery of arrears. The Post Office shows an increase both on the quarter and the year. In the Excise there appears on the quarter a deficiency of £ 212,900. We believe that about £ 150,000 of this arises from bills which fell due in the corresponding quarter of last year, and which are not included in this year's quarter ; and that even allowing for the addition from the transfer ofthe post- horse duty to the Excise, the real deficiency on this branch of the auarter may be calculated at about £ 123,000. The deficiency of the Excise for the year, as compared with 1836. amounts to about £ 950,000. It is, however, satisfactory to observe tbatcomparing tbe Excise revenue with the accounts of 1835, there appears an increase both in the quarter and the year in favour of receipts of 1838 ; although in the course " of 1836, Excise duties to the amount of £ 536,000. were repealed.

The Paris Journals of Thursday, which have come to hand by our ordinary express, are chiefly occupied with reports ol the debate in the Chimber of Peers on the day before, upon the address in reply to the speech from the throne. The discussion derived[ much interest from the circumstance of the Duke of Orleans having taken that opportunity of vindicating the matrimo nial alliance of his house with Protestant families. His Royal Ilighness's short address is the first lie has delivered as a member of the Chamber of Peers. The othet contents of the journals are unimportant. CHAMBER OF PEERS— SITTING OF JAN. 3. Baron Pasquier took the chair at 2 o'clock, in presence of a numerous attendance of members, amongst whom we remarked the Duke of Orleans. All the ministers were in their places. After the admission of some peers, the validity of whose titles had been recogoised. The order of the day was the debate on the address, the draft of which was read by Count Portalis. The Marquess do Dreux Breze, after an allusion to the foreign and domestic policy of ministers, passed to questions of home policy ; the noble peer strongly censured the alliance contracted by the Prince Royal with a .. Protestant Princess, and lamented that, though there were thirty millions df Catholics in France, the marriages of the reigning family were not with Princesses of that faith. ( At this part of the noble Peer's observations the Duke of Orleans evinced a slight degree of emotion, whispered a few words to the Minister of Public Instruction, and wrote a short note, which was handed to the President of the Council.) The noble peer, in continuation, wished to know from ministers what Powers were now considered the natural allies of France, what steps had been taken to prevent the establishment of British influence in Spain, what was to be the fate of Algiers, and what advantage would be derived from the taking of Constantina ? Ho would also ask if ministers were unanimous in their policy, and if the Sept. laws, & tho^ e which conferred judicial authority on the non- commissioned officers of gendarmery in the departments of the west, were to be permanently maintained? He would conclude by voting against the draft ofthe address. The President of the Council after a few remarks on the systematic opposition of the noble peer who had just sat down, entered into explanations on the various questions which had been addressed to the cabinet with reference to its system of foreign policy. As to the remark which had beon made respecting the omission of all allusion to an alliance with France in the speech from the throne at the opening of the British Parliament, he could see no absolute necessity for an annual and formal reference to such a fact in the speech of the Sovereign of England. As to the fact itself, of the existence of a strict alliance between England and France, hecould only say it was unquestionable, and the relations between tbe two countries had never been more intimate or more sincere than at the present moment. On tbe Spanish question he observed tbe political system of the cabinet remained unchanged, and had ever been, and ever would be, in strict accordance with the stipulations of the quadruple treaty. Wilh regard to the conquest of Constantina, he asserted that the Go, verninent had nevei shrunk from war, and had desired peace only on conditions honourable to France. On the question on which the government had been at issue with Tunis ample saa resolution in the House of Commons, declaring his intention to j t j s f a c t j o n had been given, and the French flag had been respectpush to extremities the war against Lower Canada, wero they prepared to give their sanction to lhat? How couldyou after that support the Whigs, and believe them to be ihe friends of the people ( Hear.) They wero with them one day about Ireland, and they oppose them the next day about Canada. Mr. LEADER nevrr m » ant to support them as a Ministry( cA « rs) he would ask whether it would be possible for him to vote against a measure that was good, because it was proposed by bad men ( Cheers) ? Mr. HUME had given Ministers bis opposition when they broueht forward mcasurses which he considered to be bad... ( cheers and cries ofthe Poor Law bill ) He would go farther, and he would say that he had been so miserably disappointed bv the declaration of Lord John Russell, that he would never as a party support them again. ( Great cheering.) He had a choice between two evils ; for they were hampered beyood measure by the state of Ireland. Little did gentlemen who asked questions know how the affairs of that country bad beeo as a millstone round their necks. They had been forced— they were unable to dowhst they wished,& what they were conscientiously anxious to do, because they feared to do evil to Ireland. But as regards the future, he trusted he should be ready to support every good measure whether emanating from Whig or Tory, but to preserve tholr existence, ihe Whigs should get no more support from him. —( Vehement cheering. ) The resolution was put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. It was also resolved that the petitions founded cn the resolutions be laid for signature, and prescuted to both Houses of Parliament. On the motion of Mr. CRAWFORD, seconded by Mr. PROUT, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Leader, M. P. for his zealous and able services in the cause ofthe Canadians Mr. LEADER returned thanks. The meeting, after giving three cheersforthe Canadians, broke up The large room at the Crown and Anchor, which is calculated to hold about 4,0110 was completely crammed, and thousands went away being unable to gain admittance. A letter was received from General Evans, but not read at tbe meeting, expressing his opinion that the holding of the meeting was premature and calculated to prejudge the question. He also declined being a party to a meeting for the purpose of declaring the Ministry to be guilty of tyrannical and unconstitutional protruly French feel differer: ed there as elsewhere. He would now reply to an insinuation relative to a paragraph of the Royal speech, on the sulijeet of a matrimonial alliance which had rejoiced every truly French heart. Tbe Marquis de Dreux Breeze ( interrupting)— I conceive my heart to be " truly French," and yet by no means rejoice at the alliance in question. The President of the Council— If your heart be you cannot help rejoicing. The Marquis de Dreux Brezc— As a Catholic, I ently. The Duke of Orleans ( much attention )- The Chamber will permit me to answer in one word to what is personal in that which the orator has just uttered I had not replied to the speech which he has delivered, because the insinuation did not seem to be sufficiently direct; but I gladly avail myself of the opportunity of presenting the question iu its proper light. In our fundamental codc— in the first line of it— I found religious liberty in. scribed as the most valuable of all tbe liberties granted to Frenchmen. 1 see not why the royal family should alone be excluded from that benefit, which is wholly in harmony with the spirit which now prevails among the French people. ( Marks nf general approbation.) I besides believe, gentlemen, that the application ot that principle on tbe occasion of my marriage is perfectly consistent with the guarantees required by the religion of the majority of the French, and I, likewise, am a Catholic; it is the faith of my forefathers; I was born and shall die in i t ; all my posterity shall be brought up in that religion. Such are the only guarantees that can be required. I have given them, and I believe no one can ; ask more...( Unanimous and loud expressions of approbation. ) The Marquis de DIIEUX BREZE had no wish to address a personality to his royal highness; but, as a Catholic, he could not but lament the alliances contracted hy the members of the royal ' family with families professing the Protestant faith. impression caused an hours delay of the publication, - would have shown our readers that, notwithstanding the oft- repeated assurances, in and out of Parliament, that in Upper Canada there was nothing approaching to discontent or dissatisfaction with the Government, the Revolt had not only extended, but had gained great head there. It was difficult then, and even now, after a diligent perusal of all tbe accounts received, it is not easy, to reconcile their confused and conflicting representations ; but we believe the following is a correct statement:— Sir F R A N C I S H E A D , the Governor of Upper Canada, had issued orders for the arrest of a Mr. M A C K E N Z I E ; but a body of people, whose numbers are stated at about 2,000, rallied roundhimand marched against Toronto. They entered thatplace the 5th of December, driving Sir F R A N C I S R E A D and the Volunteers who adhered him into the Market- house. Here M A C K E N Z I E wished to negociate terms, and as the condition of laying down his arms, he demanded— I... The dissolution of the Representative Assembly. 2... An Elective Upper Chamber. 2... The removal of Sir Francis Head. The Governor without replying to the demand, placed liis family on board the steamer Transit, and ordered her to lay at anchor off the port; in the meantime despatching a steam- boat to Niagara, and sending into the interior in every direction for aid. On the return of the steamer from Niagara, they found the Governor with- 1,100 volunteers, under arms, who on the 6th attacked and dispersed M'Kenzie and his force, burning to the ground Montgomery House, and taking Doctor Morrison prisoner, and capturing Mackenzie's press. The Governor then, feeling himself secure, directed the Transit to land his family and reeonvey the Niagara volunteers to their home's. A proclamation was then issued by Sir F R A N C IS H E A D offering a reward ,£ 1000 for the apprehension of Mackenzie, and £ 5 0 0 each for four leaders of the Insurgents. To what distance the latter retired from Toronto, or how far the Loyalists succeeded in dispersing them does not appear from the confused and contradictory accounts in the American Papers ; but if the Niagara Volunteers had returned to their homes, as stated in the accounts, all pressing danger was over. But even on the supposition that the Insurgents were routed and dispersed, this result is of little importance compared with the proof which is afforded of widely spread disaffection throughout the Canadas, Upper as well as Lower, in the former of which we were told there was neither discontent nor dissatisfaction. Thus much as to the out- break in the Upper Province. With respect to the frta< e of affairs in the Lower, a second Despatch was received u- Qm Sir JohnColborne on Friday last, datedMontreal, December 7, enclosing a Report, same date, same place, from COLONEL GORE, detailing his military operations from the 30th November. ^ These documents were published in the London Gazette of Friday night, and will be found in a preceding column.. Colonel Gore states that he was accompanied by the Parish Priest at St. Hyacinthe, who gave him every information in his power, and the Cure of the place called the principal inhabitants and habitans together, whom he addressed with great eloquence-, exhorting them to continue in their homes, and to assist in arresting the rebels, which they promised to do.. COL. GORE surrounded a house at St, Hyacinthe, in which he expected to find PAPINEAU. . but he was not there. Great importance is naturally attached to the conduct which the American Government is likely to pursue in this crisis— whether it would give aid, or countenance any being given, to the revolted Canadians ; and upon this subject it is stated, that on an application from the British Ambassador at Washington, the P R E S I D E N T had signified to the Authorities of the United States, that the laws against levying an armed force in theStates to be employed against a friendly power must not be violated. The communication is stated to have contained this paragraph : " It is the fixed determination of the President faithlully to dis. charge, so far as his power extends, all the obligations of this government ; and that obligation especially, which requires, that we shall abstain, under every temptation, from intermeddling with the domestic disputes of other nations You are. therefore, earnestly enjoined to be attentive to ail movements of a hostile character, contemplated or attempted within your district, and to prosecute, without discrimination, all violators of those laws of the United States which have been enacted to preserve peace with foreign powers, and to- fulfil the obligations of our treaties with them." There are contradictory statements as to tlic way in which the contest in Canada is regarded in the United States. The newspapers in those parts of the States which lie near Canada appear generally to side with the insurgents ; and one or two public meetings have been held there, at which resolutions expressive of sympathy for them have been adopted. The New York papers, on the other hand, with the exception ofthe Daily Express, a new journal, characterize their conduct as absurd, and their cause as hopeless. The following remarks from the New York Gazette of the 15th ult. furnish a fair sample of the general opinions ofthe press in that quarter:— CANADA ACCOUNTS.— It IS a hopeless undertaking to make any such summary of intelligence from Canada as can be depended on with more than a moderate degree of confidence, The details of one day are invariably contradicted the next, and a defeat is pretty uJMfiormlyiconverted into a victory toties quoties. The Canadian campaign is tike the campaigning in Spain. It is patriot up and patriot down alternately. Papineau is in the Zenith one day and in the Nadir the next. Toronto was taken the day before yesterday, and yesterday it appeared that the patriots, instead of taking Toronto, had merely taken— to their heels. How many of them tbe British government will take by the nock, must be left to our future accounts' We trust very few of them; for we hope and believe, that the Canadians will settle down to the tranquillity that has been so wantonly and so causelessly disturbed by the movements of restless and mischievous men. The present complexion of this most unadvised and most clumsy effort at rebellion appears to us at this moment to be about closed. We do not believe that it will be. prosecuted much further. The amateurs seem to have taken a distate to melo- drama, and have retired from the siege. The cognossenti in this cit- y will probably find it necessary, therefore, to remit their diurnal diatribes against the British government, and their smoky common- places about " liberty, Anglo- Saxon" spunk- and all that. We do not believe that. Canadians have yet, fought thomselves into the privilege of taxa tion, or that they are likely to do so hereafter. One thing we think it l ight to say— so far as the inhabitants of theCanadas have cause of complaint, we hope with all our hearts tbey may be removed... Their grievances— and we believe they have them— ought to be redressed, and if we know ourselves, we wish to see them redressed ; but that there is any thing like an adequate motive for actual rebellion against the parent government, we by no means believe. We have not the least doubt, that all the bloodshed and distress that have already come upon the Canadas have been caused solely by the contrivance and for the supposed benefit of a few miserable demagogues , and believing this, we have neither felt nor expressed any sympathy for the insurgents. It is our opinion, that the insurrection is about put down, and that we shall hear very little of it. But we may be mistaken— it may be that that the contest is to continue ; aod if it shall be so, we shall endeavour to keep up with events, and furnish the latest intelligence from the scene of operaiions. In this place it is proper to say, that partial and prejudiced as tbe provincial journals may be, they have hitherto given us tbe only intelligence that has approximated to correctness. We have ourselves been disposed to distrust the statements of these papers, without much better reason for it, than thejuniform declarations of our contemporaries, we confess, but still sufficient to make us cautious in crediting their accounts. It is now fair to say of these papers, that the main features of their accounts have proved true, while the counter accounts through Burlington have cither been gross exaggerations, or fabricaiions from " whole cloth." A great number of arrests have been made in the neighbourhood of Montreal ; and martial law has been declared by LordGosford, in a brief proclamation, of which the following is the most important part :— " Now, therefore, 1, Archibald, Earl of Gosford. Governor in Chief and Captain- General in and over the said province of Lower Canada, by and with the advice and consent of her majesty's executive council for the province, have issued orders to Lieut.- General Sir John Colbnrne, commanding her majesty's forces in the said province* andother officers of her majesty's forces in the same, to arrest and puuish all persons acting, aiding, or in any mariner assisting, in the said conspiracy and rebellion, which now exi3t within the said district of Montreal, and which have broken out in the most daring and violent attacks upon her majesty's forces, according to martial law, either by death or otherwise, as to thein shall seem right and expedient for the punishment and suppression of all rebels in the said district; of which all her majesty's subjects in tins province are hereby required to take notice." Another proclamation had been previously issued by Lord GOSFORD, warning the Canadians against participation in the treasonable proceedings which were on foot, and calling upon those who were assembled in arms to return to their homes. The tone of the proclamation is extremely moderate and conciliatory ; and it has, of course, given great offence to the high tory and orange party in Canada, who seem to be doing their utmost to drive the French Canadians to desperation, by the use of tbe most violent, insulting, aud contumelious lauguage, arid by demanding the adoption of measures of excessive severity by the government. THE ARMY. TROOPS FOR CANADA. Late on Saturday the Inconstant, Frigate, with tbe 1st Division of the 93rd Highlenders, sailed from Cove for Halifax. She was towed out of the Harbour by the Juno Steamer, belonging to the St. George's Company, who volunteered her powerful aid for the purpose, and as she has since tad a fair wind she may be expected to mako a quick passage. The Pique, which is to take the remainder of this fine Regiment, has not yet returned. PHYSICIAN TO THE CITY GAOL.' From the. United Service Gazette of last Saturday. We are enabled to supply our readers wi'th information, on which tbey may implicitly rely, as to the exact number of additional troops which pre destined for Canadian service, viz. — Six troops of the First. Dragoon Guards, of fifty rank and tile each ; Four Troops of the Seventh Hussars, of fifty rank and file each : the Second Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, consisting of eight hundred rank and file ; the Second Battalion of the Coldstream Guards, of eight hundred rank and file ; Six Companies of the Eleventh Foot, of one hundred each ; Six Companies of the Seventy- Third Foot, of one hundred each ; and Six Companies of tho Ninety- Third, of one hundred each. It will thus appear that the entire force destined for Canada at present does not exceed 3,900 men. Lord. Hill has refused permission to applications from officers on half pay to join the Canadian Militia. ROYAL ARTILLERY.... Major C'nodman and England's companies are ordered to embark in a Government steamer to proceed to Dublin, to relieve Col. Wjlde and Major Stewart's companies, which arc to be brought to Woolwich to form part of the armament about to proceed to Canada ; on their arrival they will be joined by Colonel iMaclac. hl.- in and Capt. Sheppard'scompanies, when the whole will proceed to North America. Lieut. Colonel F. Campbell, who goes out as commanding officer, sails by the first packet from Liverpool. All the usual periodical re: liefsare of course put a stop to. The companies going to Canada will be completed lo four field batteries, and will take out a com. plete equipment of guns and stores ; if they are to remain in Canada for any time, an augmentation must be made to the corps, or the duties required of it cannot be carried on. M . jor Pringle's company is gone on to Quebec from Halifax; tbey proceed by Steigns from New Brunswick United Service Gazette of Saturday. Major- General Sir Thomas Pearson, formerly of the 23d Fusileers, has, we understand, been offered a command in Canada, where his knowledge ofthe country and inhabitants, added to bis high military character, must render him an able assistant to Sir J. Colborne. Three squadrons, selected from the King's Dragoon Guards and 7th Hussars, are to be sent to Canada. The first battalion of the Grenadier Guards are to replace the 2d battalion ofthe same regiment at Windsor, the latter being under orders for Canada. We have heard a whisper of some contemplated resignations in the Guards in conscquence of being under orders for America ; but we trust, for the honour of the service, that the report may be incorrect.. Times. LIVERPOOL Lieut.- Col. the Hon. Geo. Cathcart left the Waterloo Hotel, Tuesday, for New York, in tiie packet ship Orpheus. Col. Cathcart is the bearer of despatches for Lieutenant- General Sir J. Colborne, Commander of her Majesty's Forces in Canada. It is reported in the bast informed military circles that 20.000 men are to be added to the present strength of the army. Major- Gen: Sir James Macdonnell is to command the brigade of Guards under orders for Canada, thereby causing two vacancies in tliccammand of Irish districts. Times.

The 58th Light Infantry have left New Brunswick for Canada, and the 28th Regiment have been ordered to replace them from Nova Scotia. The Cavalry, the Brigade of Guards, and the 33d and 71st Regiments, are to go direct to Quebec, and in consequence cannot emnark till late in March, as the St. Lawrence is not navigable before May ..

Thursday last, by an unexpected order, the 73d Depot from Clare Castle, consisting of ten officers and 208 rank and file, marched into this garrison en route to Cork, there to occupy barracks until Wednesday next, when they are to be in readiness for embarkation to join tbe service companies at Gibraltar, now under orders for Canada. The officers with the depot are. Captains Bamford, ( commanding) Harvey, and Cross ; Lieuts. Browne, Cubitt, ( Depot Paymaster) Ensigns Bamford, Jones, Fitzgerald? Campbell, Assistant Surgeon Russell. The exact number to go out is 140, and the Depot reaches Cork on Monday. Major Lloyd, from leave, is expectcd to join before they embark. Yesterday morning they marched out of this garrison for Cork, accompanied by 40 volunteers from the 25th Regiment. THE OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM C A N A D A . . . A supplement to the London Gazette wns published on Tuesday evening, containing the official accounts, from Sir John Colborne. of the unhappy battles between the Queen's troops and the rebels in Lower Canada. The manner in wbich those important despatches reached London is certainly rather singular. The messenger who brought, them from New York was a steerage passenger in tbe Independence. Two or three days before the ship reached port, he came on the quarter- deck , informed Captain Nye, that he bad in his possession important despatches for the British government ; and requested, if an opportunity should of. fer, to be landed without delay. Capt. Nye promised the messenger, that he should have every facility in his ( the captain's) power in landing. No opportunity, however, for landing offered until the Independence reached the Mersey. The messenger, besides the packet of despatches ( which were under cover, but without an exterior direction), had, it appears, brought a bundle ofnewspapers addressed to the agent, at Liverpool, for u London morning paper. Immediately on landing, he proceeded to one of the hotels in Dale- street. The agent in question was sent for. and arrived in a short time. Before he readied the hotel, however, the government messenger had gone out for a few minutes- The landlord gave the agent the parcel of papers directed for him ; and the agent, thinking that the undirected parcel was also intended for him, carried it off too. By this time it was past two o'clock ; the agent hurried to the railway station, took his place for Birmingham, and, on examining the parcels, after he had got into the Coach, discovered, to his no little astonishment, that he had accidentally become possessed of the Official Despatches from the Commander- in- Chief in Canada I It wai too late to return the packet, so he took it with him to London, and we believe delivered it, as early as seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, at the Horse Guards. The messenger, as may be supposed, was in a dreadful taking, and proceeded, by the half- past, six o'clock train, in pursuit of his despatches... Liverpool Albion. ROMAN CATHOLIC CIIAPELS IN GREAT BRITAIN. The recent demise of Doctor EVANS, Physician to the City- Gaol, has led to a canvas, by some Professional Gentlemen whowish to succeed him, of such persons as they imagine may be summoned to attend on the next Grand Jury, with whom it is conceived the appointment lies. We apprehend these Gentlemen are labouring under a mistake, and that instead of the appointment being in that Body, the situation devolves, under the new- Grand Jury Act, upon the Surgeon to the County Infirmary, whois not entitled to, and cannot have his Sslary^ presented for. unless ' such Surgeon shall have given his attendance and professional assistance, without any other or further fee or reward, to the pri - sonersiind others in the Gaol of the County to the Infirmary of which he has been appointed Surgeon, if such Gaol is situate within five miles of such Infirmary. •' Tbe following is the section of th'e Act .— LXXXV1 — And be it enacted, that it shall andmity be lawfull for the Grand Jury of any county to present at, each assizes any? sum not exceeding forty- seven pounds, to be raised off suclu county, and paid to the surgeon or surgeons of the Infirmary thereof, provided always, that no such presentment shall be madci unless together with an application there fora certificate signed! by the governors of such infirmary or hospital, or by five of themat the least, shall be laid before the presentment sessions,, which certificate shall state that the surgeon or surgeons for whom such sum is requested to be ptesented hath or have resided at or within one mile of such infirmary, and duly and faithfully executed his or their duty as surgeon of such infirmary or hospital, and diligently complied with the rules and regulations of the governors of such infirmary, since the date of the last application, nor unless a true copy( ceriified under the hand of thetreasurcrof such infirmary or hospital) of the letters testimonial from the College of Surgeons iu Ireland, oy law ( 2 9 ) required to be obtained by every sucliSuigeon, shall be laid bolore the Special Sesssions next ajter his appointment to his office, nor unless such Surgeon shall have given his attendance and professional assistance without any other or further fee or reward, lo the prisoners and others in the gaol of ihe county to the Infirmary of which he has been appointed Surgeon, if such gaol is situate within five milesof such IntUmary ; and provided also, that no Surgeon or . Medical attendant hereafter appointed shall be qualified to act as Surgeon of any Infirmary or Dispensary until he shall have signed and deposited with, the Secretary of the Grand Jury, a declaration iu the form ill the: Schedule ( R ) to this act annexed. If it be supposed that this Section relates to Counties only,, this also would be an error, as in Section 111 of same act, it is enacted that in the construction of it, " wherever the word " County shall occur, the same shall be deemed and taken to in- " elude and import, any County at large, or County of a City, " or County of a Town and City, or City or Town and County.' The Canvassers will pcrceive from the above that they are uselessly laying themselves under obligations to the friends, who they anticipated, may be on the Grand Jury, for votes and support which the latter will have no power of giving : and theSheriffs will be happily ralieved from any suspicion of making a Grand Jury to serve the purposes of any particular Candidate, A W I N T E R M A R C H IN C A N A D A IN 1813.— At the moment when Troops are proceeding from these countries to Halifax, in all probability to be marched from thence to Canada, we have no doubt the account given of the celebrated march of the 104th Regiment through that wild and trackless cquntry in the year 1813, by one of the officers then attached to it„ will be read with great interest.

PARLIAMENT— Tho Session recommences on the 16th of this month. It is now, however, perfectly well understood, that altho' the House of Commons resumes its sittings on that day, yet, that no measures of local importance— at least no questions involving the antagonist principles now dividing the two great parties in the State— will he brought forward till the 6th of February, so that, till then, there will be no division or trial of strength.

Two points had been raised, and most ably urged, by the defendant ® ... that the Chief Justice could not act as a Judge in a case where he himself was a party... and that, the constitution of the Supieme Court required the Chief Justice to be present. Tbe Bench seemed at first to decide the point in favour of the parties by whom they were ingeniously raised, but at a subsequent sitting, they ruled them against Ihe defendants, and the trial was proceeding at the last date."

The ministerial salons are making great boast at this moment of a uew diplomatic triumph, the whole honor of which they give to the talents of M* Mole. The affair is nothing less than a complete reconciliation between the Cabinet ofthe Tuilleries and the Court of Rome, which is supposed lo have made » ho first advances. The Pope is said to have promised the support of his influence, and even of his authority, to put an end to the continued hostilities of apart of the French Clergy towards the French Government The reeal of the Titular Bishop of Nancy, M. de Forbin Janson, is already promised ; and the long vacancy which has occurred in tile archicpiscopal see of Lyons is also to cease. The Cabinet appears to attach an immense importance to Ihis powerful mediation, by means of which it expects the complete pacification of the highest clergy Siecle. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners have granted between 4001- and 5001. for building a new church at Clonpriest, diocese of Cloyne ; they have also granted a sum of money for building a Church at Inch- inabage. same diocese. THE NEW METROPOLITAN POLICE— ON Saturday this force was inspected by bis Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in the Castle Garden?, at the rere of tbe Lower Castle- yard. The four divisions, denominated by letters " A" " B." '< C," and " D.'' mustering in all about 800 men, were drawn up in double lines respectively, and altogether presented a very uniform as well as a very efficient appearance. His Excellency made a close inspection through every rank of the men, and expressed himself in terms of the most entire satisfaction at the appearance and state of the force. Chief Constable Lawson has been appointed Sub- Inspector of COMMITTEE OF THE RATE PAYERS. A thinly attended meeting of the Committee appointed by the Rate Payers to frame a local bill for the more equitable assessment of the rates on the city and liberties, was held yesterday in the City Grand Jury Room, SAMUEL LANE, Esq. in the chair. Mr. MEAGHER acquainted the Committee with what had occured in respect to the valuation of new buildings in the city.... The opinion of the Recorder had been taken on the subject, which stated that under the new act they could not value new buildings in the city, as it only affected the liberties. A. valuation in the city should be by order of the Grand Jury; consequently they had to go to work under the old law. The CHAIRMAN said that the Collectors having commenced their levy, there wasno opportunity at preesnt of doing anything of a remedial nature. Mr. DALY then proposed that a petition should be prepared to be immediately laid before Parliament, praying the Legislature to put one- fourth of the Poor Rate upon occupancy instead of the one: half. The CHAIRMAN suggested the propriety of withdrawing tbe subject for some time, and then called upon Mr. Crawford to procccd with the propositions ho had some weeks since laid on the table. Mr. CRAWFOUD was very glad to be called on to proceed to business, even atthe end of six meetings. He would then commence by laying two propositions before them. His first was that the new Board should he called " The Commissioners of Local Rates," in whom were to be merged the functions of the Grand Jury and Wide Street Commissioners, with this difference, that tbeflew Board should be chosen by the Rate- payers instead of being nominated as they at present were...( Hear, hear) Thewordsi of his proposition were ; " that from and after the passing of the intended Local Act, all power over City Rates should be withdrawn from the Grand Jury, except to such an extent as should be required for the constitution and maintenance of the Gaol and Bridewell, or the Houses of Correction, and for the safe custody and support of the prisoners therein." Mr. DALY inquired why Gaols and Bridewells were excluded ? Mr. CRAWFORD did so, as be looked at the subject as a matter of decided experiment as the control vested in Grand Juries in England where their local arrangements were on the most improved system ; and further, as it was ricbt that the Executive of the Country should have control over criminal matters. Mr. DALY every day of his life was the more forcibly struck with the necessity there was for economy. A matter had come within a few hours to his knowledge, of a person who was in respectable life, of some rank in society, and as honest a man as any in tbe city, who was necessitated to make a bargain with the rate collector to pay him 10s a- week until he defrayed the amount of his rates ; but such was the pressure of the times that he could not: pay it, and he was forced to relinquish his engagement. He mentioned that as an instance of tbe burdensomcness. of the city taxation. which, within his ( Mr. D.' s) memory, was but 7Jd in the pound, while it now amounted to 2s in the pound, half- yearly. Mr. CRAWFORD said heshould read bis second proposition: •' that the board of Local Rate Commissioners should consist of a certain number of individuals— two- thirds to be chosen from the city and one- third from the liberties, to be elected hy the Rate Payers in open court, for one year, on the first Monday in Msrch; and on the re- election so many from the liberties and so many from the citvto be intelligible." Mr. M'DONNELI. hoped that the question of portions between the city and liberties would be adjourned to a future day. Mr. CRAWFORD said that they were pledged to the public meeting to support Ihe ratio of one- third to the liberties, and twothirds to the city, though the subject was open to them when they went back to a public meeting. Mr. CONNELL desired to know Mr. M'Donnell's opinion on the subject. Mr. M'DONNELL conceived that it would be premature in him to give an opinion until tho matter was fairly before the public, but when it was, he would prove the great injustice of tbe proportions He defied any one to show him any place, excepting Cork, where there was such a difference between city and liberties. Mr. CONNELL should oppose their taking up the question, as it was agreed at the public meeting that the city should pay twothirds and the liberties one- third. It was alone on that solemn pledge that tbe liberties had agreed to the committe. Alter some discussion on the point, whether such an understanding or arrangement had been come to or made, the Chairman said that the subject was not properly before the meeting, and it was therefore dropped. Mr. CRAWFORD, to bring them back to tbe business of the Committee, propesed that the Board of Local Commissioners should consist of Twenty- one members. The CHAIRMAN thought tbe number too large— Mr. Daly thought ' twas too few, and suggested Forty two. After some conversation— Mr. CRAWFORD renewed his proposition that the Local Board should consist of Twenty- one— six of whom from tbe City, and three from the Liberties to be eligible to re- election. Mr. DALY contended that all should be eligible to be re- elected. There should be no restraint upon the choice of the Rate- payers. Mr- MEAGHER was decidedly in favor of a portion going out annually, without which, he said, there could not be an efficient Board. Sir THOMAS DEANK took the same view. He was opposed to allowing all to be re- electable, as he knew that house lists would be prepared by men who perhaps could intlunce 800 Rate- payers to support them. Finally the further consideration of the proposition was adjourned to the next day of meeting, and the Committee separated.

TO THE EDITOR OF THEJiOUTHERN REPORTER. SIR— Mr. MORROGH'S letter in your paper of Saturday, first drew my attention to the report of the proeee dings of the meeting of Magistrates and Ratepayers held on Tuesday last. On the subject of the projected line of road at Spring Hill, and the injury the poor farmers would sustain by having their land cut up, Mr. Leahy is reported to have said— " That the Sessions could do nothing for them ; they had not opposed the line, being rllenced by Messrs. Morrogh and Waters, who promised them compensation, provided they gave no opposition ; they ac eordingly lay quiet, the time for notice to traverse or seek damages having expired, and they were without remedy.!' I never promised any man compensation , I never interfered to prevent his seeking it;— quite the contrary ; I sent for each man through whose land it was likely to run. I told them the application would be made, that they ought to attend the Court, each man put in his claim for compensation, and that I would attend » nd assist them I did attend the Court, when one of them. Patrick Galvin,'' only, came forward ; he stated his case. Mr. Hayes, on his behalf, wrote the notice for traverse, and handed it in on the instant. It is not probable that I would promise compensation for passing a line of road in which I am not personally interested; one tbat 1 am not likely to use in any way. I assisted in seeking for it on the representation of others, and believing that it would be generally useful. The work has not yet commenced; there has been no expenditure; may not the Grand lury interpose, withhold tbe contract, and, under anew application, give those poor men an opportunity of getting the compensation to which they are justly entitled ? , I regret Mr. Leahy did not inform himself better nn the subject, before he became the medium of attributing to me, in a public Court, a line of conduct so unworthy. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant. Richmond Lodge, Jan. 9. GEORGE WATERS. S I N G L E S P E E C H E S . .

W I L L I A M Q U 1 N L AN E E L S it a duty lie owes to the Public, ( by whose patronage his house has attained a position not second to any iu Cork) to CAUTION them against spurious articles of WOOLLEN DRAPERY now being introduced into the Irish Markets. Those goods, the greater part of the composition of which is Cotton, have been manufactured for the American trade, but the commercial embarrassments in the United States, and the unsettled state of the British settlements, have obliged the makers to look for a home market. It is needless to observe, that articles under the denomination of Woollens into which cotton lias been introduced cannot wear well, nor is it possible for them to retain their colour. W. Q. therefore pledges himself that no such goods shall be allowed to enter his concern; that none but the best in their respective kinds shall be offered for sale, and that the prices charged shall be as low, if not lower, than those of any house having any regard for character or respectability. His present Stock ( tbe greater portion of which has beeu recently purchased) comprises Superior and Reflne CLOTHS in all colours and prices, Vestings, Cassimeres, Kersys, Buckskins, Wooldyed and Waterproof Pi lot Cloths, Petershams, Harringtons, Arctic Beavers, Hats, Manchester Goods, ifc.

MR, M O O R E STACK RE S P E C T F U L L Y announces his intention of opening Classes and giving Private Instruction, in all the branches of Elocution. He deems it unnecessary to advert to the claims of this Science on the attention of those with whom it is a necessary medium for communicating knowledge, or exercising professional talent. To the member of the Senate or the Bar, the Lecturer, and the Minister of Religion, it is a qualification indispensable for the efficient discharge of duty, rather than an accomplishment dependent on individual taste. But its effects on general education and mental culture, though not so obvious, may well recommend it to the study and patronage of all anxious to promote the work of intellectual improvement. To the Young— whose physical organs can be so easily moulded,— whoare so susceptible of sensible impressions, and who are so prompt in acquiring those arts and accomplishments which are principally dependent on imitation,— it must be a matter of the first importance, in an intellectual point of view, to acquire ha> bits of distinct articulation, pure enunciation, and harmonious modulation of the voice, with graceful and appropriate gesture ; as well as a familiar and satisfactory development of the princiyles on which they were based. To those who labour under natural defects, or who may have contracted a vicious manner from negligence or bad training, Mr. S. takes the liberty of suggesting, that these impediments to delivery can be removed in a shorter spate of time, and with greater facility than they may anticipate, by an ordinary diligence in attending to his instructions. The experience of seven years teaching in his profession, and the flattering testimonials of some of the first scholars and literary characters in the Kingdom, both as to his capabilities and efficiency, are the credentials which he offers for the satisfactory discharge ofthe engagements he undertakes. Schools and private Seminaries attended, on terms proportioned to the number of Pupils. King- Street, Jan. 8. M E D I C A L P R O F E S S I O N.

POLICE OFFICE- WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3. PUBLIC NUISANCE. The DEPUTY RECORDER sat to try a question which was sent to him in the nature of an issue by tho Wide- street. Commissioners ; Til. : — Whether, under the general local act, they had a power to mske bye- laws authorizing their officer to place cars, plying for hire for the conveyance of passengers, upon public stands, In such a position as to have them drawn up with the1 heads of the horses across the street ? Mr. M'O'BOY stated, that this was a question between the public and the Wide street Commissioners ; and the decision of the Assessor Would determine whether the latter bad or had not a right to Inflict an intolerable nuisancc upon a large and respectable portion ofthe community. It was alleged thai a certain bye law, made in 1832, gave authority to the officer of tho Commissioners to place public cars across a ccrtain portion af the South Mall, and that this bye- law was valid. He was prepared to contend that it did not give such authority; but for the sake of narrowing the question, lie would assume that it did ; and upon such assumption, he would show that it was void. The Commissioners were empowered to make such by- laws only, as were not contrary to the law of the land, or to tho statute itself. This wss manifestly repugnant to both. Mr. M'OBov then went thro' various provisions of the Act to prove this position He relied particularly upon the 97th section, which ordained that no Car- i riage should be drawn up across any public street; and that i any carriage were left to stand in such position, it should be deemed a nuisance. He then applied himself to prove that the term " Carriage' in this section necessarily included all vehicles plying for bite. In the foreging section the same set of terms exactly wa6 employed, and the word " Carriage" in that section manifestly comprehended cars plying for hire. It was there enacted that no cart, dray, sledge, or other carriage, ( exctpt such carriages as were lawfully licensed so to do) should remain on the streets longer than was necessary for the loading thereof. Now, what carriages were licensed to remain for a longer period than should be occupied in loading and unloading ? The act itself stated what they were. viz Vehicles plying for hire for the conveyance of passengers ; and these were permitted, in express terms, to remain on the street not only as long as should be necessary loload and unload Iheir baggage, but, also, as long us would be necessary to take up or set down their passengers. These vehicles wero excepted out ofthe term " carriages"— and this very circumstance shewed that they would otherwise be comprehended in it. In the 97th section, the same terms were used without any exception. Vehicles plying for hire were there - fore necessarily and, ex vi termini. included in that section under the term " carriages". He would reserve lurther argument until Mr. Walsh should speak at the other side ; but, he begged of the Assessor to observe that the terms 41 loading and unload ing" were applied in the act to cars for the conveyance ot pass- ugers. and cars for the conveyance of merchandize indiscriminately. Mr. WAI. SH contended that the 97th section had reference solely to cars for thep conveyance of merchandize. The two classes of cars were kept distinct throughout the act; and the terms' loading and unloading' were indicative of the description of carriages here intended. The act used one set of terms in legislating for one class, and an altogether different set of terms in legislating for others... The words used In sec. 97, were exactly the terms used throughout, in reference to merchandize. They therefore were applicable to such cases exclusively Even though they comprehended vehicles for passengers, the section had no refer encc to such vehicles whilst upon the Hands. It could apply Only to the cars after they had left the stands. The commissioners could place them as they pleased, either across the street or otherwise. Aldm. GIRBINQS concurred in Mr. Walsh s view of the case The present position was the most convenient one in whieh they could be p. laced. Mr. M'OUoy replied. He said that the very best test of tile disorder and inconvenience arising from their present position might be itiatle by a reference to the annals of that court. There was not a day passed, that from 12 to 20 men from the stand in question were not summoned by the commissioners themselves before it. In fact, It was a monstrous abuse of authority to suffer such a nuisance lo exist, supposing that they had the power to continue it, and there was not a friend to good order in the community who did not raiso his voice against it. In reference to Mr. Walsh's argument, he shewed that ' carriage' was the ' nomen generallissimum throughout the act— and if ' carriage' did not include vehicles for passengers, he contended that there was not a word in the statute authorising the commissioners to place cars upon stands in the street at all. They were reduced to that dilemma.— Air. Pennefather, whose opinion ought undoubtedly to have some weight, considered that they had no right to put them on the street at all. if the right was not given by term '• Carriage" in the 96th section. But, the bye law in question is altogether void for other reasons. The Commissioners are empowered to impose a penalty, of only 51. Irish, whilst they impose 5/. British. The act was passed in 1822; the bye laws in 1832, and every one of them is void or nugatory upon this ground. The object ol the legislature was plainly to prevent the street being obstructed by curs being placed across i t ; it would not have given to the Commissioners the power of making a nuisance which it prohibited all others from commuting. Tbe latter part of Mr. Walsh's argument did not therefore apply. The ASSESSOR... Your argument would prove too much: If I should hold that this section applies to cars for passengers. I must holdthat a car c mnot remain across the street even whilst it is taking up or setting down passengers. Mr. . M'O'BOY— An act of parliament cannot be construed strictly according to the letter ; it must be construed according to the spirit. The legislature could never have meant to make an offence of a momentary obstruction such as that referred to ; it contemplated obstructions of unreasonable duration. The ASSESSOR But the Commissioners may place the curs at loth sides of Ihe street, and thus create a greater obstruct ion. Mr. M'O'BOY.— This I cannot admit, for they are bound to use a reasonable discretion in the discharge of their functions : and can be made responsible if they do not. Your argument presumes that they would be guilty of a gross breach of trust. In that case they would themselves become *' an obstruction, annoyance, and nuisance." and might be treated as such. Thd ASSESSOR.— Intimated that he would consider the act attentively, weigh the arguments at both sides, atid give his judgement " at a future day. Alderman GIBHINOS... I think it right to state how this case originated, Mr. M'O'Boy very ingeniously managed to persuade the Wide Street Commissioners that they had no right to put cars across the street, and that it was a nuisance to do so. They accordingly gave tlieir officer directions to place them in a different way, and as he desired. One of tho car- owners resisted, anil he wa « summoned before me, I said I would not decide upon the matter until I should hear the subject solemnly discussed. I am now glad that I shall be relieved from giving any judgment, by he intervention of the Assessor. LiORRORS O F C I V I L W A R F A R E . ( FROM THE JOURNAL OF A N OFFICER.) The Basque and Navarrase women appear to make excellent nurses. No false notions of delicacy interfere with their dispensible services ; they know that the surgeon must amputate legs and arms.. that he wants their assistance, and they render it cheerfully. Not knowing that they have nerves, they seldom faint, and the wounded are attended all the better for their hardiessc. The Sisters of Mercy and other monjas, whose rules permit them to visit and attend thesick, devote^ themselves to the task with an earnestness and efficacy which cannot be sufficiently admired. Many of these are educated and highly intelligent. When they take charge of an hospital, every thing is sure to prosper. Their conscientious regularity and benevolent attention, effect, perhaps, more for their patients, than greater skill seconded by mers n. ercenery attendance can accomplish in England. Surgeon, apothecary and patient are all confident in the watchful care of the Sister of Mercy. She administers the cup of hope with one hand, and that of resignation with the other. She bring's to the sufferer's pillow every attainableearthly comfort and spiritual consolation ; and in short, if a cure be possible, effects it. These excellent women carefully attended the hospital at Yrache, and were of incalculable benefit to the sufferers in the action of the 15th September, before mentioned ; but as day broke on the 14th, they found that the enemy was in force descending the heights; that a fresh combat was in progress at the undefended gates, and their friends were giving way before them. The Carlist soldiers were at that moment carrying three wounded comrades to the hospital, but the Lancers ofthe enemy charged down in numbers, obliged them to fly& leavethem on the spot, where they were deliberately cut to pieces by the Christine cavalry. The Carlists in the hospital saw this horrid butchery going on almost under their windows, and all who could leave their beds, rushed down to escape by a postern, expecting similar treatment every moment at the hands of the ferocious victors. The Sisters of Mercy still stood by the beds of the helpless and dying, calmly awaited their fate,— perhaps to be burned alive with them, for the Christines, wherever they passed during the foray were consuming all the Carlist property they had not time to plunder and carry off. and did not spare the houses that held it. Fortunately the Carlist Generals, Francis Garcia and Pablo Sanz hastening up at the moment with reinforcements, preserved the hospital and all its inmates from the impending destruction. My visit occurred only six days afterwards, when I was a pleased spectator of the quiet but ceaseless devotion ofthe good sisters, and the attention, order and neatness which their watchful kindness ensured throughout the establishment where 120 poor fellows lay enduring every variety of pain. The gratitude and confidence of the sufferers were not less obvious and delightful, and 1 left the convent with the conviction that civil war had not altogether extinguished Christian charity in that " red land." Man was indeed doing his utmost to bring a hell upon earth ; but there were yet lingering on its spirits of a finer, purer . nobler order, whose examample and influence still preserved a portion of the blessings designed for it by heaven. ACADEMICAL EDUCATION I N FRANCE.— The education in France being under the superintendence of government,— being in fact directed by ministers in the same manner as the home, colonial, and foreign departments of affairs are managed,— the Royal University of France extends its branches over the whole country. The number of functionaries employed in it who are all paid by the government is about five thousand four hundred The university, therefore, consists of various academies, facul. ties, & c., distributed over the different towns of France. The number of academies ( which constituted the highest order of seminaries) is 26, the faculties 18, the secondary schools of medicine 18, examining committees 22, royal colleges, 41, private colleges two, common colleges 327, and besides nnmerous boarding schools and institutions under different academies.— The academy of Paris, which is a counterpart of the others, and is of the greatestinterest to readers in this country, consists of seven departments, the Seine, the Aube, & c. That ofthe Seine comprehends the cityof Paris— it consists of the faculty of theology, the faculty of law, the faculty of medicine, the faculty of sciences, and the faculty of arts. There are also five colleges, collegc Louis- le- Grand, College Henri IV. college St. Louis, college Charlemagne, and College Bourbon, and a normal school with various branches for preparatory education. The professors of law have eave each 12,000 francs ( £ 4 7 6 ) per aunum, without any perquisites. The professors of the faculty of arts, sciences, and theology, have each 6,000 francs (,£ 278) per annum, and for their presence at business and examinations in rotation they receive 3,000 francs ( £ 1 1 9 ) . If, however, they absent themselves without a proper excuse, they not only lose their claim to this sum, but are fined 50 francs { £ 2 ) . The professors of clinical medicine and clinical surgery are each asj sisted at the hospital by a chef de Cliniqne, and an aide de Clii nique, the former ofwhom has 1.200 francs ( £ 4 7 ) , the latter ! 500 francs (.£ 19). The elevee externcs ( house surgeons or clerks) receive 500 francs per annum ( £ 1 9 17 » ) lodging in the hospital, and board when they are on duty, The eleves internes ( equivalent to theclinical clerks inScotland) receive no salary nor lodgingAUthe eZetres, both inlernes& escternes , nre elected by public coinpetition. Foreigners are admitted to compete upon the same terms nsFrenehiiien. SeveralEnglishmen have attained this honor able station, and all the distinguished medical men of Paris have held the situation of internes in the Parisian hospitals. This is a sufficient argument, if any were wanted, in favour of the system. The physicians and surgeons of the hospitals receive only 1,200 francs (.£ 17.) The professors o f t h e faculty of medicine, of Montpellier and Strasburgh, receive each 4,000 francs ( £ 1 5 0 , ) and 2,600 francs, ( £ 7 9 , ) for attending examinations. The professors of the museum of natural history, at the Garden of Plants, receive 5,000 francs ( £ 1 9 9 , ) and lodging, a superintendant of anatomy 4,000 francs ( £ 1 1 9 , ) and the assistant naturalists 1,500 ( £ 5 9 . ) AH these appointments are understood to be made by public concours, different candidates being examined in public as to their qualifications, and the person best fitted for the appointment being chosen. As this system of competition commences at the elementary schools, the life of a man I of science in France is one scene of efforts to improve ; if lie becomes indolent, those who are behind him wiil soon practically supersede him, and he feels that he is constantly in danger of having his heels trod upon. The royal academy of medicine was instituted in 1820, for the purpose of affording information to government with regard to the state of the public health in reference especially to epidemics, vaccination, & c. It is divided into 12 departments, each of which takes up the management of different branches of science. This society receives annually from government 40.000 francs ( £ 1 , 5 8 8 , ) and during the year for exigencies, from 6,000 to 10,000 francs. The salary of the perpetual secretary is 4,000 francs ( £ 1 5 9 , ) with lodging; that of the secretary of the council is 3,000 francs ( £ 1 1 9 ) . . British Annual. ORATORY OF LORD CHATHAM.— He controlled the purposes of others, because he was strong in his own obdurate selfwill. He convinced his followers by never doubting himself. He did not argue but assert; he took what he chose for granted instead of making a question of it. He was not a dealer in moot points. He seized on some stronghold in the argument, and held it fast with a convulsive grasp— or wrested the weapons out of his adversaries' hands by main force. He entered the lists like a gladiator. He made political controversy a combat of political skill and courage. He was not for wasting time in long'winded discussions with his opponents, but tried to disarm them by a word, by a glance of his eye, so that they should not dare to contradict or confront him again. He did not wheedle or palliate, or circumvent, or make a studied appeal to the reason or the passions— he dictated his opinions to the house of commons. " He spoke as one having authority, and not as the scribes."— But if he did not produce such an effect either by reason or imagination, how did he produce it ? The principle by which he exerted his influence over others ( and it is a principle of which some speakers that I might mention seem not to have an idea, even in possibility) was sympathy. He himself evidently had a strong possession ofhis subject, a thorough conviction, an intense interest ; and this communicated itself from his manner, from the tones of his voice, from his commanding attitudes and eager gestures, instinctively and unavoidably to his hearers. His will was surcharged with electrical matter like a voltaic battery ; and all who stood within its reach felt the full force of the shock. Zeal will do more than knowledge. To say the truth, there is little knowledge,— no ingenuity, no parade of individual details, not much attempt at general argument, neither wit nor fancy in his speeches— but there are a few plain truths told home ; whatever he says, he does not mince the matter, but clenches it in the most unequivocal manner, and with the fullest sense of its importance, in clear, short, pithy, old English sentences. The most obvious things, as he puts them, appear like axioms— so that he appears, as it were, the genius of common sense personified; and in turning to his speeches, you fancy that you have met with ^ at least) onehonest statesman 1 LordChatham commenced his career in the intrigues of acamp, and the bristle of a mess- room where he learned that the way to govern others is to make your will your warrant, and your word a law. If he had spent the early part of his life like Mr. Burke, in writing a treatise on the Sublime and Beautiful, and in dreaming over the abstract nature and causes of things, he would never have taken the lead he did in tbe British senate.— H a z l i t t. The other day At the breaking out of the war with the United States, in the month of June 1812, Sir George Provost found himself very inadequately provided with troops to defend the extensive line of frontier under his command, being upwards of eleven hundred miles from Quebec to Michilimackinack ; assailable at many points, particularly all along the river St. Lawrence from Cornwall up to Kingst 3n, and along the Niagara frontier from Fort George to Fort Erie. His disposable force of regular troops did not much exceed 3000 men to guard all the important points of this very prolonged base ; indeed, it was currently reported at the commencement of the war, that the highest authorities of the country were of opinion that Upper Canada would not be maintained with this inadequate force. However the judicious and firm measures of the gallant Gen. Brock, assisted by the then formidable auxiliary Indian force, which the General well knew how to humour and to wield, saved the Upper Province from being occupied by the enemy in 1812. The imposing preparations made by tbe United States for the campaign of 1813, induced Sir George Provost to run the chance of weakening his force in New Brunswick, which was considered less assailable than Upper Canada. Sir George Prevost, therefore, determined that the 104th regiment should perform a winter march from New Brunswick to Canada, which was effected as follows :— Major- Gen. Smyth, who commanded in New Brunswick, had received private intimation that the regiment was to march for Canada, which he kept secret, though from the frequent drills and marches it performed by companies, or as a corps on snow- shoes, it was evidently being prepared for some movement. On the 5th of Feb. a garrison order announsed the intended march. It was hailed by men and officers with enthusiasm, as an effort yet unknown in British warfare, and, therefore, well worthy of British soldiers to accomplish. It must here be observed, that the regiment was admirably composed for the purpose, having been raised in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, principally in the latter province, from the descendants of the veterans who had served in the former war, a class of loyal settlers, equally attached to the soil and to Old Engiand. There were also a considerable number of Canadians in it, so that these, as well as the New Brunswickers, being, as it were, indigenous to the country, were thoroughly fitted to endure cold and hardships ; good axemen, able to build a log- hut with an axe alone ; good boatmen, good marksmen, many of them as expert as Indians in a canoe, and as alert as hunters on snow- shoes. ' The " morale" of the corps was not at all inferior to its " physique ;" as there is a characteristic cheerfulness in the Canadian soldier, inherited from his French ancestry, which being both lively and good- tempered, tended much towards lightening the lahours of a heavy march, or the hardships of a campaign, and accorded perfectly with the more dogged and varied characters of the English, Irish, and Spotch, which completed the regiment. [ The Writer, after giving a description o f t h e snow shoe, aud Mocassins, Or Slippers, to be worn with the shoe ; and also of the Tobogin, or Indian sledge, used for conveying Baggage or Provisions, thus proceeds : ]— The officers provided themselves with flannels for clothing from head to foot, besides fur- caps, mits, and collars. The men were also provided with flannels, fur- caps, and tur. mits, but the moccassins that were issued to them were totally unfit for the purpose, being contract articles of hide that had never been properly dressed ; moreover, few officers or men then knew how to prepare them. Tbe light company was also drilled to draw a three- pounder on a kind of sledge, as well as to manoeuvre as light troops, but the light- bobs abominated being made dray- horses of, as they callad i t ; indeed, it was very laborious work, though laugha bis, as the gun would sometimes sink so deep, that iu attempting to get it up again, the men also sunk in or fell into the snow; but this gun- drag was finally given up as almost impracticable, except for a short distance. On one occasion previous to our march, our worthy and indefatigable Governor, General Smyth, who was drilling us, in his anxiety to correct some movement, forgot he was on snowshoes, and moving too quickly, he tripped, suddenly vanished, buried under three or four feet of snow ; several of us ran to the spot where the General lay to offer our assistance; the snow being very light, had instantly covered him, the spot being only A Sheffield Paper publishes the following;:...' a laughable circumstance occurred at Barnsley, at the cottage of a labouring man named Glhbins. The story runs thus : — A relation of Gibbins, who lives in Manchester, sent him agoose. Its appearaneo led Gibbins to believe that goosy was ready for the spit. Af'er il had hung before the fire about twenty minutes, a neighbour of Gibbins popped in to have a peep at the present, who soon discovered bv the appearance of the gravy that all was not right. Gibbins, who had not previously observed it, was struck with the same impression, and bad it immediately taken away from the fire and opened, when the following articles were found insiue the goose, which had been put there with a view, no doubt, to save expense. The first article met wilh was a letter directed lor Gibbins, one for his sister, and a third for a distant relation, 30s. for a half- year's rent, a set of knitting needles, a print of her Majesty going in procession to Guildhall, two Godfrey bottles, six hanks of whity brown thread, a receipt for making ginger beer, a new set of Christmas hymns, and some onfectionary.,, Halifax Express. marked by an indenture in the snow ; it was totally impossible to suppress irresistible laughter, but ourdetermined chief joined in the laugh against himself, and declared he would allow no one to assist him, but would then show us the proper mode of getting np out of the deep snow, which he performed very neatly, having been in the country before with the Duke of Kent ; after untying one of his shoes, he placed it down very firmly in the snow, then laying his elbow on it, in order to raise his body, hi khelt on his shoe, and tied it onanew, then regained the surface. The expertness with which the General performed the operation converted the accident into a lesson. There had already fallen a greater quantity of snow than had been known during tbe nine preceding years, and the weather was remarkably cold. On the 4th or 6th of Feb. the thermoterliad been as low as 17 degrees below zero. It had been understood that Indians or natives were to have been sent on to construct wigwams or huts to shelter the men in at every 15 miles distance, in order to relieve them from the fatigue of hutting themselves at the close of a long day's march but by somt misunderstanding this was not carried into effect. Every arrangement being completed, und the regiment in good marching order, some detachments having already come 100 miles up to Frederiction, Col. Halkett, with the head- quarters and and the grenadier company, marched on the 16th Feb. 1813— a battalion company followed on each succeeding day— and the light company, forming the rear- guard, on Sunday 21st. The first seven days' marches being through tolerably well settled country, we found them comparatively easy, tho' sometimes the snow might be eight inches or a foot in depth, from the circumstance of the foundation of it being a beaten road, and at the close of each day's march houses or barns to lodge the men in. On the 26th, while marching in the rear of the company, a person of the name of Wilson overtook me in his sleigh ; he had conducted the unfortunate Eord Edward Fitzgerald in the winter bf 1789, who walked on snow- shoes through the then altogether untracked wilderness from Frederiction to Quebec ; he said that Lord Edward had supported the fatigues and hardships of the journey with the greatest cheerfulness and fortitude, and described him as a most amiable young man. On 29th we hutted : this operation was most fatiguing and disheartening after a heavy day's march, as it had snowed incessantly, and so heavily that we frequently lost our narrow snow shoe track, and, if careless, were precipitated into deep snow; and one man getting a fall of this kind caused a halt to those in liis rear for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, until he had scrambled out from his cold bath ; but the inconvenience of keeping all the rear at a halt was found so great that it was soon agreed to march on and leave the straggler to regain his place when he could, which was by no means an easy matter, and made officers and men very careful not to fall if they conld avoid it, from the fear of having to march some distance in the deep snow. In order to relieve the men, each officer and man took his turn to break the road, as it was called, by marching as leader for ten or fifteen minutes, then stepping one pace aside and letting the whole company pass him, when he threw off his snow shoes and marched on a firm hard foot path in the rear. It must be seen that by this arrangement the first pair of snow shoes had to break a path in the front, the second pair improved the track of the first, the third and every succeeding rendered it firmer and harder till the tobogins came, which travelled on a pretty solid path. We generally marched close along the of the river, whenever no rapids intervened to prevent it, and always constructed our huts on the windward side of it in the woods, in order to gain a little shelter, The men's hands were frequently so cold that they could scareely work ; howe vere as they were divided into squads, the best axemen immediately set to felling young pine trees to form the rafters for the hut, these being trimmed of nl but their latteral branches, were cut to about fifteen feet in height ; others trimmed branches of pine for thatching it ; others felled hard wood Jt cut it into log! for burning ; while these were. at work, some were clearing away spaces for the areas ofthe hut, which was done by taking off their snow- shows and using them as shovels, to throw back the snow till they got to tbe soildestined for the floor, 4 or 5 feet deep, the snow thatwas thrown back formed a high wall round it, which served to shelter us somewhat^ from the chilling wind : within this area the trimmed branches vere placed in a conical or length ened form and tied at top ; they were then covered with pine boughs thickly laid over each: the points of the branches being downwards made it an excellent thatch, quite impervious to the snow, with the exception of a hole at the top, which was left for a chimney. A blazing fire was then lit in the centre of the hut, and all round it we strewed a thick layer of small pine branches, which formed a delicious and fragrant bed here were no feather- bed soldiers. The next precaution was to close the only aperture in the hut which was intended for doorway, made just large enough for a man to creep through edgewise, and ablanket, which every one in turn grumbled to give up, served as an inner door to shut out the cold, ifpossi ble. But I may well say if possible, as those who have not experienced it cannot figure to themselves the extreme frigidity of a temperature varying from 18° to 27° below zero, that from 50° to 59° below freezing. While our feet were burning which was sometimes literally the case whilst asleep, our heads were in a freezing temperature, as water immediately froze if placed near the inner circumference of the hut. It generally happened that we were as completely enveloped in smoke as au Esquimaux family, but, like them, we found it much more agreeable than having no smoke at all, as it warmed the hut ; moreover, I imagine that sleep without fire in such cold would have proved the sleep of death. On the first of March we reached the grand falls of the river St. John, 150 miles fiora Fredericton, where there was a small settlement— we could not judge of its state of forwardness, every spot being covered with a mantle of snow ; but the inhabitants appeared to be happy and contented; they said they wenj. down to Frederiction once or twice or year, to sell or barte their furs for what commodities they required, and added, thar their wants were few antl simple. After dinner most of the officers went to see the fall I it presented a magnificent spectacle. In summer it is 84 feet high and 9 00 ft. in width, but it was now greatly reduced by the quantity of ice whieh environed it. The spray, having frozen as it rose, had gradually so condensed itself that it had joined and formed a splendid, " irregular fantastic arch of surprising brilliancy and lightness, in all the rugged and mixed varieties of form which frost gives to falling water, suddenly arrested by congelation. The banki on each side from the same cause were like solid,, irregular, glassy buttresses supporting the arch— and the surrounding trees being beautifully fringed with frost, when the sun shone on the ice and displayed the prismatic colors playing on it, the scene called to mind the idea of an enchanted palace of glass, fitter, indeed, for a person to gaze on than to inhabit ; which was strictly true, for desolation reigned around— no beast, bird, nor even insect cheered the sight or enlivened the ear ; the only sound that disturbed the icy, death- like stillness around was the resistless roaring river, rushing impatiently through its restricted and fringed bed of ice into the gulph beneath, whence surging on, it hurried to a comsiderable distance before the frost had power to conceal it under a bed of ice. It may be proper to remark here, that at the grand falls was the last military post in the province of New Brunswick, and although I am unable to give a correct description of it, from the circumstance of the country being so completely covered with snow, it was nevertheless represented as being,' from its precipitous situation, convertible into a very strong point of defence, the more imporlant as it is the nearest point to the American boundary all along our line of march, and that by which the mail must pass in the winter season to Canada; besides being the only good line of march for troops similarly situated with ourselves, the St. John's and Madewaska rivers, and the Jemisquatalake fo rming a level road to march on for two hundred miles, a circumstance of vast importance to the moving of troops in winter, as they would otherwise have to march entirely throughlthe brush- wsods and forests, which would increase their hardships and retard their progress. It wonld be highly desirable that we should gain a little more extent to our boundaryin a line from the south bay on the grand lake to Quebec, a little within that followed by Lord Edward Fitzgerald ; land in itself unimportant to the Americans, but of consequence to us, as it would prevent the likelihood of their hereafter wishing to gain for a boundary the western bank of the river St. John, which would be fatal to our communication with Canada. Whilst marching this day, the weather was so cold tbat several of us got frost- bitten, and one person, an inhabitant of the vicinity of the falls, was frozen to death. On Wednesday, the 2nd of March, we arrived at Laroticiers, at the head of the Madawaska settlement ; here I began to find the French language of great service to me, as I did through all Lower Canada. The worthy Cure, Mansiear Rabbi, was delighted to meet a British officer who could converse with him freely, and accordingly not only invited me to take my billet at his house, but also insisted that one of my brother subs should accompany me, where he treated us with the greatest hospitality. On the 4 th of March the cold was gradually increasing, and an incessant snow- storm filling the track up rapidly, made the dragging of the tobogins exceedingly laborious, especially as we occasionally had to quit the Madawaska river owing to rapids in it which had not frozen, and the thickness of the brush- wood and forest along the edge of it. When we got to the end of our day's march the cold was so intense that the men could scarcely use their fingers to hew down fire- wood, or to build huts, and it was dark before we could commence cooking; if sticking a bit of salt pork on the end of a twig and holding it to the fire could be so termed. On the morning of the 5th the cold had greatly augmented, and the thermometer once more fell to 27° below zero, together with a gale, a north- wester in our teeth, which scarcely left us power to breathe ; indeed, the intensity of the cold is indescribable ; the captain of the company anticipated the effects of it, and went on with an officer and a few men to arrange the huts, and to prepare fires for our reception. About mid- day, on turning an angle or corner along the river, I was surprised to find that the head of the company had stopped, which caused the centre and the rear to halt as they came up; knowing the dangerous consequences that might ensue from a prolonged halt in sucli excessive cold, I hastened in the deep snow to the head of the company, and goingalong, I observed that almost every man was already more or less frost- bitten, and occupied in rubbing his cheeks or nose, or both with snow ; in my progress I also was caught by the nose, and when 1 turned the corner in the river, I really thought I should not have been able to proceed ; the cold wind appeared to penetrate through my body in defiance of flannels or furs ; I however urged the men on, as soon as we had taken time to lay one poor fellow upon a tobogin, whose whole body was frost- bitten, and covered him with blankets.— By changing the leading file every four or five minutes we at length got to the huts, having about ninety men out of 105 more or less frost- bitten on that occasion. On arriving at the huts, we found that the company which should have been a day's march a- head of us were still hutted ; they had attempted to cross the Temisquata lake ill the morning, but the cold wind blowing over it was so exquisitely keen, as to freeze many of his men, that after marching a mile, the captain of it faced about and returned to the huts. It was impossible to get warm that night, one officer literally scorched his moccasins on his feet in his sleep, by being anxious to keep them warm. The next morning the wind having abated, both companies crossed the lake. The marching this day was very different from any thing that we had yet experieneed ill our journeys ; the sun having begun to have some power on the snow had thawed the surface of it, which froze again in the night, and formed a sheet of thin ice, sufficiently strong to bear a light person. but heavy man would frequently break through, and sink into the substratum of snow till he was arrested by the firm ice on the lake ; this was very troublesome and laborious work, but those who chose to keep th » ir snow- shoes on avoided it, and marched at a great pace over the ice. It was an 18 mile march, and we were delighted to get to anhabitation on the edge of the portage. We had to leave poor Rogers, who was so severely frost- bitten on the 6th, in charge of a corporal, with the woodsman at the portage, who promised to recover him speedily by means of simples and herbs, though to us his life appeared in danger ;.. he was quite a hideous spectacle, altogether one ulcerated mass, as if scalded all over from boiling water; howover, he rejoined us at Kingston in six weeks perfectly recovered. Tne next day's march was through a mountainous country, which is called the " Grahd Portage ;" some parts of the pine forests through which we passed had been burned for clearing, and presented a surious picture. The black and tall grim pine trees, rearing their scathed heads to the sky, seemed like the ghosts, or rather skeletons, of the noble forms they once possessed, and constrasted strangely with the viigin snow on which they appeared to stand. It was altogether a most dreary and laborious day's march, as the snow drift in some places was 10 or 12 feet deep, and the constant ascent and descent made it excessively fatiguing for the tobogin men ; the descent of the hills was evenmore dangerous than the ascent, for if a tobogin once got afair startdown hill, it shot to the footof it like a car down a " monto/ me ™ sse" withamazingvelocity, exceptingwherethe rider was awkward, and in this way there were several upsets, to the amusement of all who escaped an accident; thus it was necessary speedily to put an end to this, as some of the tobogins got injured by it, and on this occasion delayed the rear of the company so " much, that the head of the company had finished its march by ten or eleven o'clock in the morning, whereas the rear- guard did not arrive till half- past five. After our frugal meal of biscuit and pork, we turned, not in. but as usual round the fire on our greeu bed of pine ; but our refreshing sleep was deemed to be broken this night by a novel accident. The wind being high had so completely dried the top of our pine thatch, that it caught fire, and on waking from a sound slumber, I found myself in a blaze, in a complete " auto da fi." there was no appearance of a door way or outlet, so instantaneous was the blaze: however, a yell of despair from the giant form of an officer o f t h e regiment, who dashed into the hut through the flames, exclaiming " Holy J s, my money box 1" which he snapped up with the fondness of a father saving his child from peril, enabled me to dash out after him, dragging my all with me, a change of suit, in a hysterical fit of laughter, at the strange lamentation of our brother officer. We were rence up to Quebec was cleared in a belt; ranging from half a mile to 3 miles in depth. We passed ti ' irough several villages almost entirely built of wood, with neat looking churches, roofed with tin, so that when the sun shone o n them, they presented a brilliant and elegant appearance. On the 25th, our 24th day's march, we entered Quebec, greeted by an immense concourse of pec pie, who appeared to consider us quite the lions of the army, t fter our unexampled march; the Quebec papers called us in ti ' ie words of the poet— " Fine young fellows, fit to pluok Bright honour from the pale- fai led moon." Sir George Prevost, on inspecting our six companies, 550 rank andfile, paid us the highest complimt nts, and to show us that he really thought us in good wind, he c rdered the grenadiers and light company to march on the 25 th 200 miles for Chambly, to join the light brigade there ; but it appeared as if eve ry general officer who saw or h.' ard of us considered that we were in thorough training, for on getting near Montreal, Colonel Drnmmond sent me on to Gen. de" Rottenburgh to report our speedy arrival, when on my honei'tly avowing we were in, excellent wind, the General said, " Then he should send as on 200 miles farther to Kingston"— when I reported the circumstance to Colonel Drummond, who was marc hing at the head of the companies, one of the men exclaimed—'' it s no wonder ; they think we are like the children of Israel, v,'." must march forty years before we halt 1" others hoped that as itwas the 1st of April, the General merely meant to make Apri,' fools of us, and let us off with a fright; but the2nd of April undeceived u s; we were off for Kingston. I do not describe this part of our march from Queb ec to Kinston, as many other regiments have performed it, ii ' itie however in so short a space of time ; it was nevertheless vei| X severe, as the sun had now power to thaw the snow and the ice over the small streams, some of which we were obliged to ford up to our middles, when the water was so intolerably cold, that the sudden shcockto our pores, open from perspiration, was not a little trying to the best constitution, and caused excessive pain in the loins. On the 12th of April we were marching up a gentle ascent, and just as the head files were rising it, there was a general exclamation of " The sea, the sea— the ships, the ships I" the whole of us spontaneously broke and ran to witness this novel and interesting sight. Some of us had been marching between 800 and 1000 miles in 6 weeks, with only ten days' halt, during; whieh time we bad never lost sight of a forest, when suddenly there lay before our astonished and delighted view the town of' Kingston, the magnificent Lake Ontario, and what was far more surprising still, a squadron of ships- of- war frozen on its bosom. It produced a striking and indescribable sensation, as none of us Europeans appeared to have reflected on the circumstance of being sure to find a fleet of men- of- war on a fresh water lake. After having feasted our eyes for a while, the companies resumed their wonted order, and having washed the mud off our legs in a rivulet, that we might appear very clean in getting under the scrutiny of the fair sex, we made our triumphant entry into Kingston to the sound of our merry bugles. As my purpose was merely to describe a winter march in Canada, I shall avoid other descriptions ; but as a few general observations may be useful, I may be pardoned for making them. The comparative repose which necessarily followed our long; march, together with good feeding, occasioned disorders amongst the men ; and although we had not lost a single man during themarch, many were ill, and a few died from the effects of it ; but it was observed that these were all the hardest drinkers; indeed, there is no doubt whatever that dram drinking is highly injurious in a very cold country, as the heat that is momentarily conveyed to the body is followed by a re- action, which the cold turns quickly into a numbness, and retards circulation. Under the circumstances of a regiment having to perform a similar march, it would appear advisable to use snow- shoes for eight or ten miles daily, for at least a month previous to its march, in order to accustom the men not only to tie on their snow- shoes, and to wear them wilh ease to themselves, but also to enable them to dress their moccassins properly, and lo pack and drag their tabogins. Indians or natives should be sent on a day's march a- head of the regiment to prepare huts for the officers and men, to cut wood, and to boil water in readiness for their arrival, as I should consider warm tea or warm broth made from portable soup, far more refreshing antl restoring than the piece of pork that was allowed to the 104th Regiment. The men were so fatigued and chilled by Ihe cold on some occasions that they would scarcely eiert themselves to cut wood for firing ; and I feel confident, that under similar circumstances, a corps differently composed, might have been placed in a very uncomfortable situation ; but the advantage of having a great niiti, ber of natives of the country in thecorps was manifest.. Brother soldiers will pardon the esprit de corps which leads me to say, that during this long march, under considerable privations and hardships, not one single robbery was committed by the men, nor was there a single report made against them by the inhabitants to the commanding officer. J. L. C, Capt. late 104th Regt. some little time occupied in snow- balling the fire to extinguish the flames, for fear that the men's huts should have also caught fire ; but it was a most ludicrous sight, as we were floundering in the deep snow, up to our middles or shoulders, not having time to put on our snow- shoes ; several of the men and officers got frost- bitten in this adventure. The next morning we started with joyful countenances, under the impression that it was our last day's march through an uninhabited country, and that the morrow should enable us to march in a region where the axe had mastered the forest, and cultivation, however rude, and in its infancy, announced at least that the hand of man was there ; it was so solemn a reflection, that wo had been completely left to ourselves for many days, with nothing but sky, or the interminable silent forest lo look upon, that both men and officers were heartily rejoiced when they beheld a worthy gentleman of the commisariat witb a horse in a sleigh, who had been sent from Quebec to receive us ; and in addition to the government rum and rations provided for us, he kindly and considerately brought with him an ample supply of fowls, hams, veal and wines. three milesinto the portage, which afforded us the best meal we had ever tasted, and gratitude proclaimed our worthy friend ever after, a standing toast amongst us. After our repast, we moved on in the parish of St Andrews, to a village from whence we saw spread before us the magnificent St. Lawrence, 18 miles wide ; when we obtained comfortable billets for men and officers, and where for the first time in seventeen days we regularly washed and dressed ourselves, in addition to which a well cook ed dinner which more vitiated appetites would have probably called execrable, and good beds, made us forget all our fatigues. Our march from hence was mere exercise for us, so that our last seven days passed away merrily, under the cheering smiles of the worthy Canadians, who welcomed us as a nondescript race that had never been seen in those quiet parts before, being the first regiment that had ever been there, and our merry bugles were quite a novel treat to he Cansi in lasses. The country along the river St. Law- A N I S L A N D I N T H E M E N A I . — I n crossing the Menai Baidge, the traveller, if he has time and inclination to observe any thing but that magnificent work, may see, on the Caernarvon side, a 6mallisland about midway across the straits ofthe Menai. On this island he may see a neatly- bnilt cottage and outbuildings, and, touching it at one point, a semi- circular enclosure of strong wicker- work, formed of stakes driven into the bed of the river, wattled with strong branches of the beech- tree, at such distances that the water passes easily through the interstices.— If he has leisure, he will find a short time passed on the island by no means misspent in examining it, and in hearing from i ts inhabitants an account of their employment and their mode of life. An opening from the Holyhead road, near the column raised by public gratitude to commemorate the services of the Marquis of Anglesey, leads by an easy path to the water's edge, where the owner of the island, upon being hailed from the shore, insets ths stranger wilh a boat, and ferries him over lo his dominions. This owner is William Jones, who lives wholly upon the island, together with his wife, two sons, two cats, a dog, and some pigs. He is about fifty years of age; but his hard life has greatly injured his constitution, and he would probably be taken by most poople to be nearer seventy than fifty ; his sons are fine intelligent lads, and at present strong and healthy, although born and bred on the island. His present wife is tho second, whom he has succeeded in persuading to leave the comforts of the Island of Anglesey for the cares of that in the Menai. They live on the produce of the fish caught in the enclosure mentioned, which they take in a manner probably new to most persons. Great quantities of fish psss into the Menai, at Beaumaris, with the tide, which runs with considerable force through the straits ; of these, numbers are brought into the enclosure, by which their progress is effectually stopped ; and being prevented by the force of the tide from returning up the stream, they are made prisoners, and, at low water, easily taken by the fisherman and his family. Between 20,000 and 30,000 herrings, I was assured by him, have been thus secured atone " take;" and soles, salmon, and other kinds of fish, are also frequently caught in great numbers. A ready sale is generally found for these fish at Bangor, Beaumaris, ifc.; such as are not immediately disposed of are either dried or salted in the outbuildings on the island, which are conveniently fitted up for that purpose. This marine preserve is well known to cormorants and other birds of prey, who pay it frequent visits ; but the islanders keep a gun in constant readiness with which they make great slaughter through openings in the windows of tho cottage. These poorpeqple are civil and communicative, but the father alone speaks EAgftsh. They are delighted when any ono visits tbem; and aregratified by being questioned concerning their habits, gains, and other matters. They seem fcontented and happy and are lively and cheerful in their manners ; and the stranger who can converse with them in theirown language will find them great talkers. Their cottage is well built, o f t h e same material which forms the rock on which it stands; and the inlerior is clean and comfortably furnished. Many of its comforts are owing to the fortunate circumstance of Mrs. Jones having been a servant in the family of one of the worthiest men in the principality, the Rev. Henry Rowlands, ofPlas- gwyn, whose active benevolence is ever finding out objects on which to employ itself. At the western end of the cottage is a small room, which commands a lovely view of the Menai, of Plas- Newid, the seat of tbe Marquis of Augleasy, on the right bank, and the Caernarvonshire range of mountains on the left. In this room, small parties not unfrequentlv take tea, and spend some hours. The extremeprincipleof temperance societies which Is now very prevalent in Wales, and which has produced very beneficial results amongst the peasantry, has reached Wm. Jones's Island, where not a drop of aught fermented has been allowed during the last two years.

Correspondent Penny Magazine. I M M E N S I T Y OF C R E A T I O N . . Some astronomers have computed, that there are not less than 75 millions of suns in the universe. The fixed stars are all suns, having, like our sun, numerous planets revolving round them. The solar system, or tbat to which we belong, has about thirty planets, primary and secondary, belonging to it. The circular field of space which it occupies is in diameter three thousand six hundred millions of miles, and that which it controuls much greater. The sun which is nearest neighbour to ours is called Sims, distant from our sun about 22 millions of miles. Now, if all the fixed stars are as distant from each other as Sirus is from our sun, or if our solar system be the average magnitude of all the system of 75 millions of suns, what imaginationcan grasp the immensity of creation ? Who can survey a plantation containing seventy five millions of circular fields, each ten billions of miles in diameter ? Such, however, is one of the plantations of Him who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand— meted out heaven with a span— comprehend the dust of the earth in a measure— and weighed the mountains in scales, and the scales, and the hills in a balance. He who " sitting upon the orbit of the earth, stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell i n ." Nations to him are " as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance;" snd yet, overwhelming thought, he says, ' Though I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also will I dwell who is of a humble and contrite spirit, and trembles at my word,"— Christian Almanack for 1838.
