THE GAS ECONOMY. The article copied from the Paisley Advertiser, detailing en invention by Mr. Cook of that town, by which gas may );e made subservient to all the purposes of heating owk cooking, has excited considerable interest in this quarter, and has been already experimented upon to some advantage. Mr. Ai!ker., jun., brass-founder, Dumfries, immediately set to work, and, without any other hint than that furnished in the 'newspaper has produced an apparatus by which we ter' is boiled, and beef-steak roasted as well as at an ordinary kitchen fire. His cylinder or funnel is eighteen inches in length, and in diameter, upon the top of which is bound a very fine piece of iron wire g auze ; this is placed upon'a small eh-offer, in which, and also the under part of the cylinder, small holes are perforated, and by altering the position of the one within the other, the quantity of atmos pheric air, which is introduced to the cylinder and mixed with the gas, is regulated as expediency requires. The gas pipe is introduced within the cylinder, a lighted taper applied to the top of the gauze, and the flame appears instantaneously, which by touching the stop cock or alter ing the burner, may be given with any force that is re quired. Mr. Aitken has used a common jet, slightly widened, and with this he boils a kettle in twenty minutes, and prepares a beef steak in ten. By placing an iron plate, perforated with holes, upon the top of the gauze wire, the flame and heat are concentrated, and the blaze forces its way upwards with a roaring sound, somewhat like the action of a pair of bellows; and the invention is altoge ther so simple and useful, that, like Columbus's discovery of the Western Continent, it is surprising nobody has stumbled upon it before. It is, in fact, the principle of Sir Humphrey Davy's lamp reversed—the atmospheric air is burned without, instead of within the wire ; and the interstices of the gauze must be sufficiently close to secure the gas from ignition in the interior of the cylinder. Mr. Aitken burns at the Prate of four cubic feet of gas in an hour, which, at the price of 12s. 6d. per thousand, amounts to somewhat more than a half-penny. Here, it may be said, nothing is gained in point of economy, for the supply of gas for one day will be greater than the first cost of the coal or peat ; but then it must be recollected that the discovery is only in its infancy, and that it is far from im probable that considerable improvement may yet be made upon it. At all events, in point of facility and conveni ence, it is a blessing which no one can gainsay, as by this means a fire can be lighted in a second and extinguished in the same space, without the aid of bellows, poker, or tongs, or the inconvenience of dust or smoke ; and in this respect it will be particularly useful in summer, when a fire is only required so long as the pot is being boiled. Further, by a little outlay, the cylinder may be so fitted up as to form a most handsome ornament in the room.—Dumfries Courier. GUILDHALL MEDAL.—We have just been fa voured with a sight of an elegant Medal, which has been struck off in commemoration of her Majesty, Queen Victoria's late visit to the city. On the one side is an ex cellent likeness of her Majesty ; and on the other, a full length figure of the Lord Mayor, who is represented in the act of welcoming his royal guest to Guildhall. Next his Lordship stands Fame blowing a trumpet, and few paces off him, Minerva with an olive wreath in her hand. What the Goddess of Wisdom should have to do with a Lord Mayor we cannot possibly conceive. Generally speaking, these great civic dignitaries have but a distant acquaintance with that divinity. The medal, on the whole, is very cleverly executed, and is published by Griffin and Hyams. THE MAN OF THE WORLD.—Those who have been delighted with the last inasterly production of Mr. Bulwer, " Ernest Multravers," and who have followed in that work the career of the man of genius, will turn with no less interest to the absorbing picture of the career of a man of the world, in the new production by the popular author of " The Life of a Sailor." " Walsingham, the Gambler," will present us with vivid pictures of London and Parisian life, high and low, derived from actual ob servation, and introduce to us some of the most distin guished and notorious personages of the day. The Belgian Chamber of Representatives has adopted the reduced duties proposed by the Government on the importation of hosiery, earthenware, porcelaine, linen, woollen cloths, glass, and chemical productions. A strong opposition was raised to the duty of five per cent. on glass, which was formerly prohibited ; and it was carried only by a majority of one, the numbers being 32 for, and 31 against, to come into force in 1839. The estimates for 1838 of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, for his department, amount to 7.51,000 francs. Yesterday evening an inquest was taken before Mr. Payne, the city coroner, in the board-room of St. Tho mas's Hospital, Southwark, on view of the body of Thom Is Thom, aged 66, who came by his death from injuries re ceived in the following manner :—From the evidence ad duced, it appears that on Sunday morning last deceased was crossing London Bridge when he was knocked down and trampled on by a horse which was being rode by a lad about 13 years of age. He did not bleed at the time, but was immediately conveyed to the hospital, where every as sistance was afforded him, but without effect, he having ex pired on Tuesday morning, as he had received a severe contusion on the skull. The boy was not to be found. Verdict—" Accidental death." The great tapestry gallery, which the King has founded at the Louvre, is about to open this week in the Salon Carree. That noble saloon, which is 700 feet long, is well calculated for the display of the tapestry, of which there are 2,000 square yards of all dates, the most ancient being the production of the 15th and 16th centuries. TITHE COMMUTATION AND POOR-RATE.— Inquiries have been made of the Poor-law Commissioners as to the future liability of tithe commutation rent charge to the Poor-rate, under the late Act to regulate parochial assessments ; and assuming its liability, whether the assess ment will be upon the full amount of the rent charge, or upon such a sum only as the rent charge would be worth, after deducting parochial rates. The Commissioners have given their opinion, that the net annual value of the tithe commutation rent-charge, under the 6th and 7th William IV.,.cap. 96, is the net value of such rent-charge, after de ductions made for the parochial rates ; parochial rates being identical, as far as they are incurred, with the rates de scribed by the Acts as " Tenants' Rates," .and any other interpretation being liable to the objection that the rate payer would be rated for au outgoing or burden, instead of a profit. IMPROVED TELEGRAPH.—NO machine for mak ing signals or numerical symbols can, with any propriety, be called a telegraph, unless it be adapted to express a suffi cient number of letters so as to form words, not only in one, but also in every written language, and by which words and sentences may be formed expeditiously. We have much pleasure in stating to our readers that Dr. Clanny, of Sun derland, has so improved his telegraph, that the advantages hinted at above arc now completed, at the trifling expense of 50s. for each station, if the station be 10 or even 20 miles.—Tyne Mercury. COUNCIL CONIMITTEES.—In our last we stated it as our belief that the York Tories were anxious to thrust all gentlemen who entertain liberal principles from the City Council ; that they kindly intended to relieve the Whigs of the onerous duties of office. That we were not wrong in such a supposition, will be obvious from the report of the proceedings of the City Council held yesterday. It will be said, " Surely there can be no cause of complaint in this matter ; there have been no party distinctions made in the appointment of committees to manage the city bu siness." We appeal to the report of the proceedings. It will be there seen, that while twenty•four Tories have been placed on Committees, no more than twelve Whigs have been chosen as committee men ! ! Every Tory Coun cillor, including the Lord Mayor and Sheriff, have, with the exception of. Alderman Gray, whose indisposition prevents him taking on himself the duties, been appointed on one or more committees ; yet but twelve Whigs appear on the lists. This simple fact speaks volumes as to the wishes and intentions of the Tories. It discovers in naked deformity the corrupt designs which that party has upon the city. It shews their grasping, insatiate disposition, and goes far to prove the assertions which we have from time to time made, that their object is to keep possession of the Corporation, and exclude therefrom every man who possesses the courage to oppose their sinister designs.—lrorkshircnot. y • EXTRAORDINARY LARCIIES.-0 tne glrden of Monzie are five larches, remarl'u'o:e for their age, growth, and symmetry. They n:d coeval with the zeiebrated larches from Dunk - i d, h av i ng been 'orotight along with them to this e 'suntry from the same place, and are now superior t(, , , them in size and beauty. The tallest measures 102 feet i n perpendicular highth ; another is 22 feet in circumferen ce at the ground, and at the distance of 21 feet from the ground, 16 feet, and it throws out branches to the ex:anordinary distance of 48 and 53 feet from the trunk. The late Duke of Atholl, it would appear, evinced a more than ordinary degree of interest in the progress of these fine trees---sending gardener annually thither to observe their growth. When this fu nc ti onary returne d and made iii wont'A report, that the larches of Monzie were leaving ihosn hf Dunkeld behind in the race, his Grace would 4ocularly allege that his servant had permitted General Campbell% good cheer to impair his powers of observation. .--Prirtio Constitutional.

PORTUGUESE DIVIDENDS. THE GOVERNMENT OF HER MOST FAITHFUL MAJESTY, in consequence of the pecuniary embarrassments which have occasioned the arrear of payment of the various classes of the State, and of the interest of the Internal Debt, unable any longer to prevent the effect of these circumstances from extending to the Dividends on the Loans contracted in Eng land ; and desirous to attend, as much as possible, to the rights and interests of the Bondholders, as it is just to expect from the honour and good faith which characterize the Po.tuguese Nation ; has Resolved, by a Decree of the 14th of October last, that for the Coupons of the said Loans at the charge of Portugal, which become due on the Ist of December Next, and for those of the Consolidated Fund of three per cent., due on the Ist of January, 1838, Deben tures shall be passed for One Year, counting from those respective dates, bearing interest at pence per day for every 1001., which interest will be paid in London at the periods to be announced, out of the annual revenue of 400,000,600 reis, supplementary to the assignment to the Junta of Public Credit, decreed by the Law of the 13th of July of the present year. With respect to the Provisional Fund contracted on the 23d of June, 1836, with Mr. Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, upon the security of the Debt of Brazil, similar Debentures will also be passed in Ex change for the Coupons of that part of the same Fund which may be considered at the charge of Portugal, after the payment and due application of the said Debt. Due notice will be given of the time and place for the presenta tion and exchange of the respective Coupons as soon as the required Debentures are ready. The undersigned, Agents of the said Government, give this public notice for the information of all parties concerned. A. de PAIVA PIREIRA da SILVA. J. NI. de CARVALHO e OLIVEIRA.

The intended meeting of the Irish Members will not take place to-day, owing to the late arrival and fatigue of several Members; but a full meeting is expected to-morrow. A very full report of their proceedings (if public) will be given in The Sun. Notwithstanding the many confident rumours which the organs of the Tory faction have been spreading, abroad for the last five or six weeks, respecting the in tentions of that patriotic party to commence the Par liamentary campaign with vigour, and oppose the re election of Mr. ABERCROMBY to the Speakership— notwithstanding all these boasts, when the clay of ac tion arrived, the Tories were found wholly indisposed to give battle. The pear, we suppose, was not yet ripe. We do not blame the faction for thus acting with, what it no doubt calls, forbearance. On the contrary, we think its . proceedings of yesterday re dound much to itsl- credit, for they show a dis cretion—a tact—and a self-knowledge which it is rare to witness among the Tories. Had these men imagined that their opposition would have had the slightest chance of being crowned with success, they would not have hesitated an instant in making a bold dash ; but they saw from the very first aspect of things in thc House that the " game was up," so discreetly succumbed to what could not be avoided. Mr. ABER CRONIBY, after having been proposed by Mr. LE FEVRE in an able speech, which was seconded by Mr. STRUTT, was reinstated in the chair amid the acclama tions of the whole House, Sir ROBERT PEEL himself expressly bearing testimony to the skill,•and assiduity, and judgment with which the Right Hon. Gentleman had discharged, for three years, the onerous duties of Speaker. So terminated thc Parliamentary proceed ings cf yesterday, in which the behaviour of the Tory faction realised the old adage of " great cry and little wool r, The Marquis of LONDONDERRY is still alive I Not having heard anything of him since the issuing of the celebrated manifesto touching the freedom of election in the county of Durham, we were beginning to feel alarmed lest some untoward accident should have cut short the Noble Marquis's tenure of that high office, the duties of which he has hitherto so well fulfilled ; and were revolving in our minds, with many dolorous misgivings, who was likely t o suc ceed to the cap and bells in the assembly of our here ditary legislators. We figured to ourselves the multi. tude of competitors who would start for so glorious a prize, and the almost insuperable difficulty of deciding who, among so many well-qualified aspirants, was best entitled to the distinguished honour ; and, after much anxious communing with ourselves, could get no nearer to a conclusion than that it would be a neck-and-neck race between Lords STANHOPE and WINCHILSEA, when we fell upon a Dublin news paper, by whicli we were relieved from our forebodings by the happy news that no vacancy has as yet taken place, and that Lord LONDON DERRY IS—to use a common phrase—" all alive and kicking." This appears from the fact, that the Noble Marquis was entertained last week by *a E SUN, LONDON, THURSJAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1837. batch of politicians of his own kidney in the City of Londonderry, and we are only doing an act of jus tice in saying, that the report of the proceedings afford satisfactory evidence of two things of nearly equal importance—first, that Lord LONDONDERRY is as able as ever to perform the functions of his office ; and, secondly, that he is sure of finding a successor in his own family. Our readers are aware that Lord LONDONDERRY'S eloquence is of that not very peculiar style, called the rambling ; and that he is the first reasoner of the non-' sequitur school now in existence. The two speeches of which he delivered himself at this dinner are choice specimens in these respects. The mental operations of this Noble Lord are so different from those of other persons, that you can by no possibility anticipate either the order in which the ideas are to follow each other, or the conclusion which is to be drawn from the premises. That which should come first is put last, and the last first—there is neither beginning, middle, nor end—all is higgledy- • piggledy. We are a good deal struck with an observation which fell from his Lordship. When lie was requested by Mr. CANNING to retain the post of Ambassador at the Court of Vienna he refused, and stated that " a man's best guide was the instinct GOD AL MIGHTY placed within him." There is some novelty in this remark. Reason has been ge nerally supposed to be man's best guide ; but we con fess we are now persuaded that there are cases in which it is safer to trust to instinct. Reason is liable to error—instinct is unerring ; and, besides this, much puzzling of the brain is spared. FALSTAFF was a coward by instinct ; why should not Lord LONDONDERRY be a statesman by instinct ? There is nothing like instinct. A communication on the subject of Ir ish Nationa Education is inserted elsewhere in our Paper, 'which will be found interesting at the present time when so much ignorance prevails on this subject, and so much pains are taken by rogues and fanatics to work upon that ignorance, and thus to impede the operation of the National System in Ireland. Happily for that country the beneficial effects of the plan of education against which so great a clamour has been raised are too clearly seen, and too highly appreciated by the people, to be effectually assailed by its and their ene mies. We hope ere long to see a similar plan adopted in England and Scotland. Despite of all that has been said, or urged, or ar gued, to establish the.un-Englisliness of the Ballot, the advocates of that measure are rapidly increasing in numbers and in influence among all classes of the com munity. Tire Tories are manifestly a doomed race. Their crimes are so notorious that they cannot expe perience a partial triumph in any quarter where the true principles of representative Government are recog nised, without impressing the people with the convic tion that there is something radically wrong in the re presentative system. 'We are here supposing the evi dences of direct criminality to be wanting—that the people are left to infer the cause from the effect. Thus at the commencement of the last election the mal practices of the Tories were So well known, that the Ballot would have been deemed necessary on the first report of their partial success, had direct charges of open bribery, intimidation, and corruption not have been preferred against them. Their boasted majority would have established the fact that there was some thing wrong—" Something rotten i❑ the state of Denmark." But when with this boast of a Tory majority are coupled proofs the most irrefragable of Tory bribery and intimidation, we can be at no loss to account for the popular shout which is now raised in favour of the Ballot. It was well observed by Colonel CHURCHILL, in a speech delivered at a public meeting held at Lincoln on the 26th ult., for the pur pose of petitioning Parliament in favour of the Ballot, that " when a grievance is so generally felt that the people. meet together to petition Parliament for its re moval, its.doom is already fixed." In that speech— which we are happy to observe has been reprinted in a cheap pamphlet form—the objections to the Ballot are so ably disposed of, that we cannot render a greater service to the electoral body than by making a few quotations from it. We begin with the fact of the Ballot's being a necessary vindication of the spirit of the British Constitution : " The immediate result of tendering a vote in secret is the enabling the voter on the day of election to give effect to his own will, to the exclusion of every other. If this re sult is obtained, as it unquestionably would be, under such a process, the efficacy of the Ballot is confirmed beyond a possibility of being shaken. That the vote of the elector may be afterwards discovered or suspected—(discovered it never could be)--through his own indiscretion, is a consi deration which does not in the least degree affect the effi ciency of the Ballot. His vote has been recorded. If, under the veil of secrecy, that vote has been given con scientiously, against the will of a superior, which, bed it been tendered openly, must have been given according to his dictation—then the Ballot is vindicated—it has per formed its object—it has rescued a vote from illegal in fluence—it has enabled a vote to be given according to the spirit of the Constitution, which would otherwise have been given in violation of it. A law enacting the Ballet, undertakes to give the elector protection. It succeeds most fully and unequivocally. If the elector wilfully, or through thoughtless indiscretion, renders that protection nugatory, blame not the law, but the man. The system stands unaffected. The individual has destroyed its efficacy as regards himself —but the country has reaped the benefit of a conscientious vote. Now the first object of the Ballot is to vindicate the spirit of the law. A man of a suspicious mind may suspect anything, a word, a gesture, or a look. Against the ven geance of such a man as this, no law, human or divine, that we have yet he , rd of, can protect a tenant or a trades man. The Ballot pretends not to affect such whims as them It grapples with the system of intimidation, and of punishment in the main. If it does not slay the giant outright, it reduces him to an infant's strength. No rule is without an exception. 7'he rule at present, where a landlord and tenant differ at heart in politics is, that the one coerces the other to vote against his deliberate convic tion : the execution is, that the tenant chooses to exercise his own discretion, and to brave all consequences. Under the Vote by Ballot, the rule would be, that the tenant would exercise his own discretion, and the exception, that tl e landlord might, upon a very strong case of suspicion, harshly dismiss his tenant. See, how the tables are turned To the beating down of tyranny—to the exalta tion of justice—to the benefit of the country." Col. CHURCHILL'S exposure of the Tory fallacy that the elective franchise is a trust, not a right, and therefore ought not to be secretly exercised, is equally pointed and convincing. The object of that fallacy is to excite the passions of the non-electors against the Ballot, by flattering them into a belief that the electors are responsible to them for the use they make of the elective franchise. Preposterous as is this assumption, we have known many well-meaning honest Radicals to be completely carried away by it. They could not perceive that the elective franchise is as much the right of the elector as the money in his pocket ; and that the non-elector has, in reality, no more claim to dictate the side on which to give a vote than he has to meddle with the outlay of the money. Colonel CHURCHILL truly says :--- " The elector is no more responsible for the discharge of his duty to the non-elector, than he is to his landlord or employer. The Legislature, in selectinc , him to vote for a representative, has declared its belief that he is fit to exer cise his judgment upon political affairs in general, and calls upon him to exert his individual intelligence accordingly, without in the remotest degree insinuating that he is to do so in reference to any other individual, or number of indi viduals. Let not, then, the householders here present, or any other non-electors, be carried away with the idea, that because they themselves have no voice in regulating the affairs of the country, they can claim a jurisdiction over those who have. Let them hear the undisguised truth, however, that they are unrepresented. * How long such a state of things will continue, it is not for me to say—or rather, I may say this, that it will continue as long as the people arc content with it, and no longer. But this has nothing to do with the question before us. If the electors were responsible to the n on-electors, the advocates of the Ballot. would have to lay down their arms, and cry surrender at once. But as such a doctrine is re pugnant to common sense and reason, and is nowhere sanctioned by law—the Ballot again cometh forth un scathed from the attacks of its antagonists." The question of the effect which the Ballot will have upon _ the present syste:n of open and corrupt bribery, is well handled by the Gallant Officer. He says truly that the Ballot does not undertake wholly to eiadicate bribery, - because it cannot make wise and prudent men of fools and spendthrifts ; but it will rendtr the consequences of bribery so precarious that no man who knows the value, and can feel the want of a shilling, will have recourse to it. But this, after all, is a point of very secondary importance. It is the vote, not the bribe, that the country is chiefly interested in. At present we denounce the bribe and the menace, because they are necessarily followed by the ruin of the elector, or a bad vote. Were the Ballot established, the vote at all events would he free ; and, therefore, in nine cases out of ten, honestly given.. No elector would be such a simpleton as to consider himself bound to betray his country, because some scoundrel of a landlord had basely exacted from him a promise to that effect, any more than he would commit a murder which, to save his own life, he had promised to perpetrate. Landlords would hence soon learn • that nothing was to be gained by intimidation ; that to be influential it would be necessary for them to conciliate the affections of their tenantry. This is what the Tories really dread. As to the un-Englishness of the Ballot it would have, some weight with us, could we but convince ourselves that Englishmen reckon bribery, intimidation, perjury, and drunkenness national virtues. But until it can be proved that an Englishman would deem it a greater disgrace to record in secret a vote for upholding the liberties of his country, than to suborn an elector, pocket a bribe; oppress a tenant, commit perjury, or sell his birthright for the indulgence of a beastly ap retite, the advocates of the Ballot must carry with hem the virtuous sympathies of the British people. By the arrival at Liverpool of the packet-ship United States, from New York, we have received American papers to the 27th ult., inclusive. The ex traordinary Session of Congress was closed on the 16th, although neither of the financial schemes recom mended by the President had been adopted. Trade was fast improving. As the rates of exchange are quoted in our City article, it is unnecessary here to repeat them. The loss of the steam-packet Home, of which the details are given in another part of The Sun, created a great sensation in New York. Seventy passengers and twenty-five of the crew, in all ninety five persons, lost their lives. The packet President, from London and Ports mouth, with J. S. B UCKINGH AM, Esq., and family on board, arrived at New York on the 20th ; on the same day the ship Independence, NYE, from Liver pool, and the St. Andrew, from Liverpool, also arrived at that City. We have been struck by the perusal of an article in the Constitution—an Upper Canadian Journal— entitled " The Democracy of Upper Canada," which, we understand, has attracted a good deal of attention on the other side of the Atlantic. The complaints of the Upper Canadians might be transferred to our columns as the complaints of the labouring population of Great Britain and Ireland. We are not a jot better off than the Colonists on most of the poi►its upon which they lay so much stress. We are governed, taxed, and judged by men over whose conduct the working classes can exercise no sort of controul, in influence either direct or indirect. Six out of every seven Englishmen who pay taxes are denied the exer cise of the right of franchise ; and as for the high and profitable posts in the army, the navy, and the diplo matic service, the aristocracy claims them as a sort of hereditary perquisite. Here we are on equal terms with the Canadians. In England the poor sow ; the aristocracy reap—the poor build palaces ; the aristo cracy inhabit them—the poor want necessaries ; the aristocracy superabound in luxuries—the poor have not hovels in which to hide their heads ; the horses and dogs of the aristocracy are lodged in castles—the poor die of hunger, or diseases brought on by want ; the aristocracy of maladies engendered by repletion. Have the Canadians greater evils to.complain of ? Are they more the victims of aristocratical monopoly and oppression than are the people of Great Britain and Ireland ? They shall speak for themselves. We quote the article to which we have referred above, that their fellow-subjects here may have an opportunity of becoming acquainted with their sentiments and feelings. For their complaints of the mischievous policy of the Colonial Office there is, we confess, ample grounds. We think, too, that Lord MELBOURNE is not alto gether blameless in not taking more pains to correct the errors of his subordinates in office. His Lordship, as head of the Government, is bound to insist on unity in its political action, both at home and abroad. Of the conduct of the House of Commons in voting Lord JOUN RUSSELL'S coercive resolutions, we have al ready spoken in language not to be Misunderstood. We may therefore spare ourselves all further allusion to it, till we see what course Ministers propose to take when the question is again brought before the Imperial Par liament. In the meantime we can tell the Canadians that they have the sympathies and—were occasion to demand it—will have the voice of the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland in their favour. Haviiig premised thus much, we shall allow them to state their own case—to run over the catoloaue of their own grievances :-- PEOPLE ! LOOK ! ! LOOK ! !!--•THE DEMOCRACY OP UPPER CANADA. The present is truly an alarming time to the people. We see, on the one hand, the great mass of the people op pressed, intimidated, and deprived of their rights. On the other, we see the Colonial Government with its Go vernor acting in the most tyrannical, partial, and unjust manner, surrounded by all the officers of his patronage—a set of dependent tools—men without principle, holding office at his will. In other words, we see the great mass of the people of this Province living under a Government falsely called free—and absolutely ruled, taxed, and judged by men over whom they exercise no controul—by men who are alone responsible to one man—that is, the Gover nor of the Province. The Government of Upper Canada is now and has been for some years a compact between an English Governor, a stranger in the land, and a band of officials whose constant aim is to aggradize themselves—the few at the expense of the many. The first thing tl.e Go vernor does when he comes to Canada, is to enter into a l e ague offensive and defensive with this band, or in other words, the Aristocracy of the land for his and their mu tual aggrandizement, and the upholding of abuses and m isgovernment in this Province. Ramifications of this aristocracy stretch themselves from the Government House to the extremities of the Province in the shape of magis trates, sheriffs, clerks of the peace, registrars, judges, com missioners, and other office-holders too numerous to men tion—all holding their offices and their livelihood at the will of a foreign Governor from England. You may add to these a pensioned Clergy of Government, poisoning the minds of men by their hireling preaching. Herein consists the power of the Government of Upper Canada, all is centered in the hands of one man, and he a stranger to the people and the country. This executive has the power at any moment (if he people even dare choose an inde pendent House of Assembly), of dismissing it and calling another by intrigue, intimidation and other ways, chosen from among its own officials and dependents, like the pre sent House, where every other man is an official, or con nected with them in some way or other. This, People of Upper Canada, is your Government! In the name of God! I ask, is this a Government fit for freemen or en lightened Englishmen or Americans ? Can the people have no better Government ? Can the majority of the people ever flourish under a Government whose sole object is op pression, monopoly, gross partiality, and individual perse- cution ? No, never. Why is the Government of Upper Canada bankrupt, and the Province on the retrograde ? Because the people have no confidence in it ; even its friends have. no confidence in it ; the latter hold on because from it they seek their living. In this letter, I wish to address the Democracy of the country—l wish to address those who long for a change— for a better state of things—for a Government fit for freemen. The Aristocracy of the land it would be useless to address—poor tools, why should they fight against a master who crives them their bread and butter? It is their interest to fight against the people, to whom they arc net and never expect to be responsible. They must speak and think as Sir F. Head does. Oh ! filthy slaves, for shame ! Is there no morning star for an oppressed people ? Is there no polar star to which a people when oppressed can turn their eyes—can brighten up their souls, and ti!l their generous hearts with fond hope ? Yes, there is. Th.: people must think—they must remember di :It they arc more powerful than their oppressors. Is there not suffi cient democracy in Upper Canada to understand the word —lndependence ? Cannot the people of this Province — I mean the great mass of the people, not the filthy band of officials who fatten on Head's despotic executive pa tronage—see that it would be to their ad% antage to be rid of their present ruinous Government, which is neither the British Constitution nor yet a Republic? What is it then? Any one who thinks and observes can see the Government of this Province and every Colonial Government in Bri tish North America is a vile Aristocracy—the worst of all Governments! It is time that the people of this Province reverted to the first principles of Government as to the first principles of their nature. Let not the scarecrow " treason" alarm. Have men forgot the meaning of treason? Have men forgot that all free Governments are or ought to be a compact —a bargain or an agreement between the King and the People he governs, or the bead and people it governs? A King can be guilty of treason to the people as Ivell as the people or treason to him. Was not James 11. guilty of treason ?. Did he not lose his throne for it ? Yes ; when a Govern . ment refuses to do justice to its people, it is guilty rf a breach of the compact entered into between it and the people. It is not then treason in the people to institute another Government—to enter into another compact. Kings and their dependent tools are too apt to cell a just opposition in the people treason. If, then, the people of this Province—this oppressed and official-ridden Province —were to choose their Governor by ballot, otherwise from among themselves were to choose a man whose family dwelt in the Province, who had long lived in it himself— whose whole feelings, kindred, and interests were identi fied with theirs—can it be supposed that such a man, know ing his responsibility to the people among whom he was al ways to live, and being bound to act as Governor under constitutional restrictions, would be less useful than such a man as Governor Head—a man appointed by a foreign Colonial Minister across the Atlantic, bound to obey his master's dicta, surrounded with his secret despatches, in structions and notes from Downing-street, without the shadow of responsibility to the people of this Province ? Oh, how great is the contrast ! Canadians, in the first you would have a man ever anxious to improve your country, ever anxious to do justice to the majority of the people, from whom he got his power, with a small salary of a couple of thousand dollars, remaining in office for two or four years, as you might choose, and then returning to you again a private and retired citizen, like the noble Wash ington, or the venerable Andrew Jackson. In the latter, you on the contrary, have an obscure stranger, of whom none of you ever heard before he came to oppress this Province, a man whose prejudices are all foreign, whose interests and feelings are all foreign, and whose prospects in life are- all foreign to your own. You have in him a pensioner of the British Government, a man re ceiving a salary of twenty thousand dollars or more of your money without your consent, wholly responsible to England, and not to you ; placed over you against your will, and that as' long as a distant kingdom may choose, and taken from you again without your being consulted. A man while here ever anxious to uphold a corrupt offi cial party to divide the people—give offices to the unde serving and his tools, and when he quits the country leave it in the state of a withered tree or blighted field. Oh ! sad and lamentable but yet true contrast ! If you had the power of choosing your own magistrates, would they to you ? Would they be less careful of your money ? No, methinks not. Do you not find in the world in proportion to a man's responsibilities, so will be his just and proper fulfilment of his trusts and duties? Would a magistrate chosen by the people be less useful to the coun try than one chosen by a foreign Governor, and not during good behaviour but during this Governor's mere •will ! ! Do you think if you were to choose a House of Assembly by ballot—by universal suffrage—or some way in which the great mass of the people of all classes could have a voice, less justice would be done to the country ? No. If this were the case you would not see a foreign Governor destroy ing the free representation of the country by patent deeds and other illegal means. If you had a House of Represen tatives, a Senate, and a Governor, all responsible to the people, with restrained and limited constitutional powers, you would see your country flourish—your forests fall—emi gration fill the province—manufactories springing up every where, and every man be allowed free competition in doing good, enjoying his own, and with the exercise of the privi leges of a citizen. If this Province and Lower Canada were a State of the great neighbouring Union, property everywhere would in crease in value, the population would double every few years, our markets would be always good, our enterprise would be vastly increased, our capital would be vastly increased, the resources of the Province would be called up and enjoyed, and the bickerings of party would subside in the great ocean of Republicanism. Government offices would not then be sought for on account of their worth and value, so much as for their honour and trust. A FRIEND TO DEMOCRACY. The Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday contain no news of any political interest—no news of any kind save what is contained in the annexed brief extracts : " GENERAL VALLEE TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL " BONA, Nov. 4.—TouLoN, Nov. 10.—The army, with the wounded, the sick, and all the besieging materiAls, re-entered Bona on the 3d, without leaving a man or a single object on the road. A considerable garrison, with six months' provisions, has been left in Constantine. The intermediate positions of Medjaz Ammar, Ghelma, Nec maya, and Drean, are also occupied by our troops. From Constantine to Bona not a musket shot was fired on our return. The Arabs have erected their tents again in the Douars, which they had abandoned on our march to Con stantine. Their flocks hove returned into the valleys which are intersected by the road, and the inhabitants every where manifest a good disposition towards us. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Nemours and the Prince of Joinville are quite well." The Madrid journals of the sth and Gth have arrived this morning, but they contain nothing more than we have already g'ven. Our accounts from Barcelona and Gerona are to the 7th inst. It was affirmed at Barcelona that a despatch from the Government had been received, entirely approving the measures of Baron de Meer for the preservation of order and tranquillity in the province. Muskets were to he again given on the Gth to the five battalions of the recognised national militia. The insurgents ventured to approach Capellades on the night of the 2d ; they were repulsed, with loss. The aurora borealis on Sunday night, which was so very splendid, was carefully observed at the Paris Observatory. The same night was devoted to the observation of falling stars, and by a singular chance only one was seen. General Pedro Mendez Vigo is going to be tried by a Court Martial, as well as Carlos Espinosa, on account of the event at Vallodolid at the time of the entrance of ZAriateguy into that city. The first is in the fortress of Badajoz, the second at Seville.—Cornmerce. A letter from Rome, of the 21st October, says :—" If we may give credit to several journals, the Roman States and the Kingdom of Naples are threatened with a foreign intervention. Such reports hare no other object than to excite the people of Italy against their Governments, and expose them to inevitable misfortunes, as has been the case on former occasions ; but tlif revolutionary propagandists will rot succeed in their enterprise, for the mass of the popuhtion has grown wise by experience. The Pope will go next week to the Castle of Gundolfo, where be will pass some days, and thence go to visit the convents situated on the mountains of Alba. Our city be gins to assume an appearance of animation ; the great families are coming back from the country. Some visitors from the North have already arrived, and there is every indication of a brilliant winter season."—Le Commerce. TouLoN, Nov.

It was alleged on the p art 01 the defendant that the weir was an unlawful obs truction to the navigation of the river, and was legally thrown down by his barge.
