That by the provisions of this said statute, no controul of any description was given to the Legislature of Upper Canada over the laws of Lower Canada imposing duties upon articles imported or exported through. the port of Quebec, from whence it arose that the Province of Lower Canada assumed and exer cised complete and exclusive authority over the cuminon outlet of the trade of both Provinces. MORAVIAN MISSION AMONG THI: CALMUCS. ( From the Shr field ) TURTLE. The following paragraph is circulating through the newspapers : - - MORRISON'S PRESERVED PORTABLE TURTLE. Sent in Jan (hermetically sealed) to any rind the 'World, and warranted to retain its good qualities for years. TURTLE in these Jars consists of the 41.. prime parts of the Fish, killed in the West Indies, when in the highest health and condition, and will be found to excel in richness and flavour, the produce of the lialipsuirved Animal, hitherto used in this Country, after a voyage of several months. " The Emperor Alexander, who was so zealous a patron of Missions a few years ago, has shut the mouths of the Moravian Missions at Sarepta. Ile has refused them the liberty to bap. tize or convert the heathen Cahnues, and has reduced them to be Mere distributors of Bibles—even one word in the way of commentary beit►g forbidden. T)►e prohi.bition extends to all Protestant missions in Russia." • Tite ; rultTLE will also be found infinitely cheaper than that sold by the great Dealers, not merely from the obvious dd. ference in price, but from its consisting of nothing but pure Turtle, and no such refuse as White Meat, Tripe, or Liver. To Families residing in the Country, and to Hotel and Tavern keepers, this TURTLE cannot but be a great con. venience, as a ff ording, at almost instant notice, the necessary supply of exquisite Soup, without the waste and loss attendant on dressing a whole Turtle. Certificates of its excellence from Personages of the highest, distinction and best taste may be seen ; but a single 061 is requested in preference, as more certain of insuring appro. bation. To be had Dressed or Undressed, at the rate of Ws. per Quart Dressed, or 12s. 6d. per Quart Undressed ; which last makes nearly three times its own quantity o f the former. The Dressed requires only to be warmed up, and with the Un. dressed a Receipt Will be given, by which any Cook may make it into excellent Soup. N. B.—A liberal discount allowed to those who purchase to Dress and Sella in, and to purchasers of a certain quantity. IPCM ILEADY MONEY ONLY.

Of the authority of this statement we know nothing— The very meaning of the interdict, without further explana. tion, is scarcely intelligible. We have had in our possession for several weeks, an exceedingly interesting narrative of the first success of the Moravian Missionaries, in the conversion of Calmuc Tartars to Christianity, and introducing them to settled and civilized habits of life. The whole document is very curious, and forms it may be said, an ent i re new c h apter in the History of Man, We have hitherto hesitated to give it ; as religious information, however important, is not generally acceptable•through the medium of a newspaper; this, huw. ever,. having assumed a political aspect, the following brief abstract will not be'deemed out of place here, since, if there be any truth in the above-quoted paragraph, it is probably this very circumstance which has alarmed the powers of darkness, and caused the Deceiver of the nations to use all his craft to blind the eyes and pervert the mind of the Emperor Alexander on thiloccasion.

More than seventy years ngo, a mission was begun by the Moravian Brethren among the Calame Tartars,-which, after a short trial, was necessarily abandoned, but the object itself was never abandoned. F a ilin g i n t h e direct attempt to plant the Gospel among these fierce and restl es s b ar b ar ians, in the year 1785 a colony was established on the banks of the !Volga, to which various families and individuals from Oerman Con gregations emigrated, and the place which they called Sarepta, is now one of the most considerable of the Brethren's settle ments. The station was expressly occupied for the purpose of cultivating a friendly intercourse with the numerous hordes that- frequent the neighbourhood, till the set time should come, when they would hearken to the Gospel. " Though no opportunity of preaching Christ to thou Gen tiles was neglected, all instruction seemed to be in vain, till within a few years past, when the way was opened fur the re newal of a regular mission among . them. Since then several Brethren, wandering or sojourning with them, as they roved or rested, in the adjacent region, have been diligently endea vouring to teach them the truth as it is in Jesus, and by the blessing of the Lord, now one, and then another, among the Calmucs, have had their hearts opened and their minds enfight, ened by the Holy Spirit. So gently, yet so safely, bath the good Shepherd led these lost sheep, after he had found them in the wilderness, that their lives being endangered, from the wolves among their countrymen, on account of their Christian profession, they were moved to take a step perhaps unexampled among their tribes, who are rovers front their birth, tn leave the horde and settle upon a little island in the \Volga, near Sa repta, where, under the eye of their teachers and the protection of Emperor Alexander, they hoped to live quiet and peace. able lives, in all godliness and honesty. 'rids migration has been effected, and the desolate island is now inhabited by a class of people hitherto unknown in the history of man—Tartars be: come Christians, and settled upon one spo t f ur th e p ur po se o f agriculture and commerce -41 It wag on a stormy evening that these firstlings of, the Calmuc race arrived on the land belonging to the colony of Sa-- repta. Their teacher, brother Schill, on horseback, led their march: he was accompanied by several of the heads of ftitni lies, and followed by the main body of the men on foot. Be hind these came their camels, three in number, loaded after the manner of the East, with tent skins on which the women were seated. The next objects in the procession were two Calm= carts drawn by horses, and another drawn by it bullOck, like wise loaded with tent skins and furniture, on which theyoung children were placed, while the elder walked by their side. Some of the stoutest boys brought up the rear, driving before them seventy heads of cattle, sheep, and goats. Their march lay along the banks of the river, and 'a boat containing a small party accompanied it on the stream. The evening grew clam, and the sun was set before they had all reached the end of their pilgrimage. It .w as a spectac l e never witnessed on earth: be ore, and surely there w.is joy in Heaven among the angels of (Jon over theie sinners that thus repented. , " Day after day, . . before they had taken full, possession of their island, th e b ret h r e n an d sisters, young and.old, from'Sa repta, visited the encampment of the fugitives and bade theth welcome in the nam e o f t h e Lord. They had i pitched their tends about three miles front: the village, and there they abode hearing the word of GOD preached, praying, and praising him, both in the great assembly and in their family circles. Among their visitors was the vener a bl e B rot h er Steinman, 83 years of age, and one of the first settlers at Sarepta. He, as well as the few surviving fathers of the colony, had never forgotten the ori ginal purpose of' the place—to be a frontier post on theverge of the kingdom of darkness, front which to semi glad,tidings °foal vation into the heart of Asia. For this consummation lie and they had been offering up dailyprayers foe more than half aCen tary. When therefore he heard of the arrival of this company of. Cafintic Confessors, the patriarch seized, his stair which he hail long laid aside, and, notwithsts,ndbig.the distance : and his infir mities, by the help of friends who supported his steps; he reached die camp. There, _after beholding with his own eyes what.

Coniiderable anxiety was manifested yesterday to witness the inititilition of Sir James :Mackin!Oile, as Lord Rector of this University. The doors of the pallegie Hall, were opened at half-past two o'clock for the admission of students, and at three to the public. The hall and galleries were crowded to excess, and numbers went away who could not possibly obtain admit tances Soon after three o'clock the Lord Rector entered, so cornprinied by a number of the Profeesors and distinguished friends, amongst whom We observed—Lords Belhaven, (lilies, and Alletwey ' the late Lord Rector, Mr. Campb e ll of Blyes th. wood, and •Itlessrs. Cockburn, Monetieff, Murray, and Thom son. Sir Jkous Mackintosh was received with the most crelm. siastic cheering, and having taken the ocustouied oaths, he addressed the members of the University in an 'eloquent speech, which derived additional iuteeest from the consideration that it proceeded from one who had conferred leonine on his native land, by the humanity which dtingtifsheiflits'exettione fee the reformation of our cntninal jurisprudence, by the soundness of his philosophical views, and by the nuttily and independent manner in which he had uniformly mode his brilliant talents:. available in the public cause. fflir James Macs: terrosit began by expressing his sincere and hearty thanks for the high, uninerited, and unexpected honour to which he had been raised by the suffrages of this University. So unexpected wits the honour, that the election was completed before he knew he was a candidate. In tiddr ?ei ing his hearers, he WIS placed in a situation of great difficulty and delicacy. The tone of those calm and mild studite to which this University was consecrated, would not permit politics :0 intrude herself upon them, and his voice bad for long dine been raised in political contention. Universities are of value only for the production of those purposes which all good men of all apes, and sects, and parties equally esteem and equa ll y c h er i s h. Roth ing is to be studied and contemplated here, but that which is to render men good subjects of a just government_ (Great applause.)—lle felt himself honoured by the consi deration of the illustrious competitor to whom he was op, posed, (Sir IValter Scott.) lie would with great pleasure have taken this opportunity of saying of him in public, what he ha* un iforinly said offilin in private, if so much praise and admiration had not already been paid him by hi s f r i en d an d predecessor (Mr. Jeffrey)—the efiSct of whose encomiums he would not mar by attempting to repeat it, in les.s skilful phrase. , Speak ing of his own feelings, he would have considered it no less of honour to have been vanquished by such a competitor. The presence of his excellent friend, the late Lord Rector, restrained him front saying all he could wish to say respecting him . but I am sure," said h e , Le no man who knows me w ill thin k that underrate my own feelings, in the general assertion, that he is a man at least as much beloved as he is admired by his readers and his hearers.. He is as much the darling of those societies of which be is an individual member, as he is almost a solitary instance of a long and brilliant literary reputation, joined to a professional career of equal length and brilliancy." Ile would be careful that there should not escape him a single expression which Might create the least irritation. 1 - le would do his utmost to preserve concord anti good-will within the University. If his own character was not sufficient security, that he would not de. part from these rules, he had then beside hint two of the dearest friends of his youth, (Lords (Sillier and Alloway) who had raised themselves to the highest judicial situations in the coun- . try, and lie was sure that even their friendship for him would ; not sanction party politica. In reverting to the honour done hint, he remarked that this was one of the most flattering distinctions that could have been conferred upon him, for it is peculiarly gratifying to those im. inersed in political affairs, that any part of their conduct should receive the calm approbation of those devoted to study. lie greatly prized any literary honour from a Scottish University, and more especially from m distinguished a seminary, where he had received his own education. ,It reminded him of that pe riod of life, and of those scenes where lie derived that tone of literature, which has been the never failing, and steady enjoyment, and consolation of his life, and to which he could now add the testimony of a great. Latin orator, as proved from his own experience liar stadia, a daksvantiam dust, senedetem Weetant, wrimia: re* °mutt adversis pei fugiuns ac solationt prirbent." Ile was verging on thope years in which he was almost e n ti t l e d to confute by e e pee teen= that which he felt not to be a panegyric on letters, but a testimony . by him ,who was most eminently qualified to estimate their value. He felt, in a more sensible manner the honour done him in this that the youth of the University have been principally Instrumental In the election. " J must confess there is something in is icelingof approbation of youth (which must of necessity be pure), which is extremely ,gratifying,espe cially to those who pass through a long and varied life. I recur to the early period dilly existence ; an d I now feel a renovation of the pleasure I enjoyed when I was one of a similar class. I feel a sort of renovation of the pumice and friends of my youth —my sympathy riser with your expressions of appro bation and I cannot but acknowledge that I feel as if I were sensible that were I in your situating, 1 should lung to have done just as you have acted.--(Loud and continued applause.)—lt can be no great infatuation in me therefore to say that I warmly value the approbation and support of youth, like the poet who revisits the scenes of his early life ' I feel the gales that from ye blow, A momentary bliss bestow ; As waving fresh their gliuleome wing, My weary soul they sees to soothe; And, redolent of joy and youth, To breathe:a second spring.' But, Gendetuen, no ditlitglit or gratification could reconunend to 'me an institution in which sqgbprivilegee were granted to youth, as . you enjoy, unless iiirreason and experience were satisfied of their utility. I am satisfied that the privileges Of the Academes youth to this Univereity, which have been en. joyed for so many ages, are most beneficial to your &canonical institutions. They serve to promote induitry, to lighten obe dience, to enforce discipline, and to attach the students ( to the University. It seems to me that all great semi naries should serve but at means for preparation for the active duties of life. I am satisfied that the original in. stitutions of this seminary, which conferred upon the youth the election of their tied Magistrate, have been wisely con trived, for they have never exercised that, valuable privi lege without doinglionour to themselves and the University. In looking ova the list of names of those who have been raised to that distinguished eminence by their Mtill'ageg, I ob. serve no name that 1 should wish to be expunged. They have always used this privilege wisely and honourably. Their minds are not yet influenced by venal or intersected motives, and their voices are more to be valued than if they had been moved by considerations which influenced persons : of riper years, but of lets disinterested feelings. Besides, the calculations of pro bability, are in this respect confirmed by expirie ue ; the holders of this offiCe have uniformly been such as we at recant mended to the youthful minds of the students by some vent claims to "distinction in rank and station, or in science end literature, in legislation, in the useful. arts, in.' the s c i ence of ot Ooverncot, or in sonic clepartmeat of public business, be. neficial, to the country. It is nothing lhatt i l :itt Y ir ° t u sr d e i rett u r f e this' University should be trained in their cattier years to ex ercise those functions of duty which they mPY in he called on to practice, in the election of the Aliegistracy of the country sir of • the trainers of the laws, which it is the pecu. bar blessing of our happy Censtittetion that the people are sup posed to be privileged to exercise? ' Thi s early actionintanet, with the rights of freero.n qualities them to wee them without any turnultuary or disorderly &tiks' as habitual right s w hi c h lead to n o di sor d er in their future exercise, whenever theyhaee opportunities of using the elective franchiee in any of the va revue forms which our Constitution provides. It has ever up - peered to nie, that by this. excellent Institution, the youth who are thus graciously entrusted with. the choice of their academical eelegistrates, are consoled for their subj e cti on to the acad em i ca l laws, and are:emote submissive to the two: s sary discipline of the University, then in other . irittietions where t h ey are deprived of every power of electing Ova Alitgi;nracy. So wisely had this election been managist by the youths of the University, that he wits overwhelmed by the - talents and worth • of his celebreted predeeeseor s . Ti lt youth . at Glasgow had shown the highest veneration for : the produlgion of genius ", lie too, cotlid revere the philosopher , and edniire the poet, and yet he still , theught that doe eipplanse should not be. withheld frOne those, eviiteee liver had been spent in studying the nature and utility of the, Yernment. In the year 1734, when, from.the state of politicei 'effaira, it would have scented peculiarly ileliclutfar any tie:eery body to have distingeitaied a person, so strongly opposed to t h e edminietration of the day, this U niversity elected to be laird Rector Edmund Burke, whelied ern calkd the most philose phical orator of his day, but whom I would rather describe as the most elocitient political philosopher of modern times. " I am well aware I have no claim to engage your attention but that of a countryman engaged in laborious public pursuits. I ant well aware that I have no other pretensions than the love of letters ; —my life has been variegated and has left little for the proeccution of projects that were formed in my early life, and the age of repose has been canverted into an age of anxiety. I would advise those who are masters of their own time, that they would confine their life to one object, and not be distracted by diversity of pursuit. I would observe, Gentlemen, that the national partiality which we in Scotland feel for one another, may have had some share in this Election. This has been con sidered by some as a reproach : but it is a singular circumstance that ono of the greatest writers of antiquity represents this qua lity as predominating among the inhabitants of the Mountain ous regions of ! iy. It is designated as fainxix avorum re giontun 1 , to whi:• 'tome in modern times have made anapproaeli. `'l should thielt myself culpable, Gentlemen, were I to pass' over a few of the extraordinary bottom's that have distinguished this University in former times. It was founded by the Roman Catholic establishment—was coeval with the art of printing._. with a period when a few mechanics by finding out the mean,' of inventing a new copyingenechitte, changed in some measure the whole system of letters and almost of civil society. It was a curious fact that this discovery wax made at the period 011ie evacu'atian of France by the English troops. This was an event that was expected to work out a wonderful change on Continental politica The other event was hardly known. Yet in the course of so short a period we now find it a difficult mat ter to settle the precise time of their leaving France—it is in volved in obscurity and interests no one. But this mechanical art has been extending and improving the condition of Man kind—has been performing its part with silence., rapidity and security, and will never perish so long as man exists to be. nefitted 11_4. " This University might seem to have been deprived of its chief prop and stay oy the reformation ; but it is not the course of reformation to sweep away the sciences ; it only, fixes them on a firmer foundation. The reiermation, the emancipation of the human understanding, gave anew vigour to the University. Under the government of Melville, the able lawgiver of the Prmibytefian Church, this University acquired a new impulse, which led it directly forward to that prosperity at which it was soon to arrive. In a brighter period, Dr. Gilbert Bur. nett, to whom England owes the history of her reforma tion and the exposition of her creed, and to whom the Liberties of England are deeply indebted, and whose language is elegant and his sentiments liberal; he came from amongst you and honoured the Divinity chair of this Uni versity. by his virtues and his genius. To me it seems fortu. nate that the sciences have not retired here as elsewhere, to. a hermitage, but have conic and planted themselves in the heart o f a great and populous city, which has risen to be the second in the island and the third in the empire, and in the very midst of this great city this University has been planted. It was owing to this that the two most important new sciences dis covered in the 18th century, the sciences of chemistry and po. litical economy, were both laid at the same time within these walls where I now address you. They are both of such a nature as to unite the active with the speculative dutiN of life. About the same time the discovery of the steam-engine was made by Mr. Watt, a person connected with this University— one of the most important discoveries in modern times. This great increase of scientific knowledge wax the result of the uniog of recluse speculation with the active business of life, and of the intimate connection which Dr. Smith and Dr. Black maintained with the practical business of this great city.. This shows the advantage of men of scientific skill, mixing with the various individuals , who exert themselves in perfecting the arts, compared with those who dose away life in dreams of science without applying them to the Far. tical benefit of mankind. (live me leave lo say, that in other branches of science, this University has been not less dia. tinguished titan in these. I hold in my hand an old edition of Ptolemy, printed in 1530, in which is given u character of the various' nations in the world.' The 'character assigned to the Scots is, that they mire—ist, prompt to revenge-91, fall of the pride of birth ;..so that they boast of royal descent, though in a state of beggary—and 3.1, they are much addicted to logi cal and metaphysical subtilties. Novehappily the reign of Lew and regulated Government had restrained this love of revenge within reasonable bounds, and the progress of commerce anti the arts had introduced a feeling of equality among par sons of birth and of merit. But ft is curious that even up to our own times no change has been wrought upon the other part of our character. The disposition to abetract science, still ad. hetes to the Scottish nation. But the study of 'metaphysics, has no where been more rationally or more successfully culti vated than amongst you, anti while it has been stripped of its sulttilticii, has reteined all its vigour and its usefulness. There is now, Gentlemen, none of that spirit of hostility to our countrymen of other persuasions, that ainnerly was said to distinguish the people of this country. This spirit of in. tolerance is fast wearing away front every country. Cul vanistie chapels are now erected at Amsterdam anti Ge neva ; I have seen a Catholic Bishop at Boston, and even in Glasgow is a Catholic chapel, probitbly the most beauti ful *tn the Island."—(Partial disapprobation.)—When silenee was restored, Sir James in continuation ' observed with great animation and effect that those who h a d manifested symptoms of disapprobation, would probably have withheld them hail they waited for the following sentence :—" Far be it from me ever to assert any sentiment inconsistent with my original convictions of the doctrines of a sincere Protestant—or with the most determined opposition to the arbitrary doctrines and domi nant and intolerant spirit of the Church of Rome. On the contrary, the reason tbat I rejoice in the existence of such a Catholic edifiee is, that It proves that the staih o f intolerance has been wiped way from the Protestan t Church.—.(Uni. venal applause.)—lle was afraid that he had intruded too long on their time.—(No,. no. wo u ld gi ve hint the greatest pleasure toProlong intetceurse. with them, but he feared it would be, inconvenient for. them." Ile then delivered an ele gant eulagium on the various distinguished individuals who had done honour to this University, The scientific and bene volent Ilutcheiton had led the way in a. thetny of morals, and his opinions had been illustrated in a life by Principal Leishinan, which deserved to be better known,--written with great elegenee, and occasionally rising into eloquence. , Dr. Smith had united great ancien t learuing with a familiar knowledge of the affitint of active life, and in the science of political economy as well as of morals, and the pried. pies of sound taste bad established a distinguished repu. tation. Dr. Reid had diecuised ' with excellent good sense the principles of Metaphysics and Ethics, The lives anti opi nions ,of those eminent persons had been made known to all Europe by Profeesor Dugald Stewart, in a style of splendid eloquence, a 0110*(44 ter whose writings had in fused the love of sound opinions and of virtue into more Mullen bosoms than it had ever fallen to the lot of any other man to do. ." I cannot conclude, said (Sir Jetties), with out warmly adverting to the distinction conferred on this Univer sity by my friend Mr. Miller, whose merits are too froth in the recollection of all who heat me to justify me in dilating upon. Thus, Gentlemen, to the great men who funned the University, a succession of illustrioutemen have been trained up, anti it can not be too much the practice of these who new, eo honetwebly and respectably fill the places of their illmitrions predecessor*, to hold up to the youth under their charge the example of the Smiths, the liutchesons, the Plucks, mid a hose of other great names who have adorned the L ' ltiVtNity, and benriitted man kind by their' discoveries, or their writing's. I . return' you, .Gentlemen, my sincere thanks fur the Malone you gave can.

The differences with regard to the apportionment of the revenue raised at Quebec, springing from the acquiescence of this Province in the exercise of this controul by the Legisla ture of Lower Canada, and gradually becoming wider' nd mire difficult of adjustment, at length rendered an appeal to our Most Gracious.
