IN LEWIS A CAPITAL FREEHOLD INVESTMENT, SITUATE IN THE HIGH-STREET AND BEST PART OF THE BOROUGH, INCLUDING THE WHITE HART INN, AND SEVENTEEN HOUSES, WITH SHOPS AND - GARDENS; ALSO A CONSIDERABLE .SPACE ADAPTED TO A BUILDING OPERA TION, AND A MALT HOUSE, 125 FEET LONG. R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to offer for Sale, by Public Competition, at the Old Ship, Brighton, on THURSDAY, ,the 23d of January, at 12, in Six Lots, by direction of the representatives of the late JOHN CRESSETT PELHAM, Esq., deceased, and without the slightest reservation, • A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE ; with a view to a safe and improving investment, it will be found to hare especial claims to the early attention. of Capitalists. This property is particularly well situate, commencing in front of THE C,)UNTY HALL OF LEWES. and extending in each direction along the High-street, and at length terminated by the extensive garden and frontage in St. Mary's-lane. It embraces, first, TIIE WHITE HART INN, THE LEADING POSTING HOUSE OF THE COUNTY, _ and one of the longest established. In the olden times it was a Mansion of some pretensions, and is so admirably placed that it must command the best business, from being immediately en face the Splendid County Hall;' necessarily partaking in a greater degree than its rival can pretend to, of . the enjoyment of the great profits of THE ASSIZES AND THE SESSIONS. • Its present occupancy is fortunately of a temporary nature only : it commenced a few weeks since, and will end at Lady-day, when his notice to quit expires. The purchaser Easy then contemplate a spirited tenant, one on whom the March of Intellect" has dispensed its favours. Mine Host of the White Hart will first embellish and decorate it in ed taste, and then proceed to get rich at " a rail wa y p ace. " wes, it must be remembered, is the great thoroughfare fr•m Hastings, Tunbridge-wells. East Grinstead, and Maid stone, through Brighton to London, and the Brighton Railway will increase the travelling to a degree almost incalculable. With the Hotel will be included several houses in the High- Street, a Malt-house, 125 feet long, Gorringe's House and Shop (one of the crack butchers) in High-street, and the ex tensive garden with a frontage to St. Mary's-lane, admirably adapted to increase THi2, RESPECTABLE CONSTITUENCY OF LEWES, by conferring lots of additional Aretes to the Borough. The remaining portion of the Eligible Pronerty . in the High-street, and all within the town, will be divided into convenient and separate lots. It is ALL FREEHOLD, AND LAND TAX REDEEMED; a more desiraWe investment is rarely in the market, to say nothing of the POWERFUL BOROUGH INFLUENCE, which it cannot be disguised must of necessity greatly increase its importance and its value. The Property can be viewed by application to Mr. Figg, Surveyor, of Lewei, of whom every information can be ob tained.

THE DONCASTER - ;DOG. - • The breed of our " Watchman's dog" appears to be a cross between a Scotch cur and an English terrier. He is black haired, with four tan legs. There is a bright intelligence in the glance of his eye, an expert cunning in all his movements, and a surprising agility and ac tivity in his whole frame. He is called by the name of Prim. He makes his appearance at the ,station-house every night exactly at half-past nine o'clock. He goes the rounds with each watchman--one after the other. But Prim knows how needful it is to keep up a proper dignity ; for, if a supernumerary makes his appearance; he studiously cuts him dead. He will not advance a single step with any one, unless he is at tired in the proper costume. Bat 'Prim has much discrimination, and makes one honourable exception. He has great respect for the head of the police, who possesses a nobleness and dignity in his bearing, which carries with it the weight and authority of a true cor poration functionary. The chief officer is his chief favourite ; and he repays the debt of kindness, in the coin of fidelity. Nor is he attached to any one watch man in particular. If any guardian of the night has got on a livery becoming the 'dignity and high import ance of the office, it is to him a sufficient badge of authority. In proceeding along the respective beats he is all attention—never deserts the watchman, and con tinually displays' the utmost degree of observation, watchfulness, and attention. But ho is generally mute in all his proceedings, and never gives mouth un less something extraordinary occurs. Yet he is savage on the approach: of any stranger, and especially to any delinquent. But,'when a culprit is taken,—no matter to him whether be has overstepped the bounds of the Duke of Wellington's Beer Bill, or is guilty of any breach of the peace,---he evinces . the greatest sa tisfaction ; and when he is lodged within the walls of the gaol, his delight is beyond all hounds, and he im mediately shows his readiness to proceed again in search of another tramgressor, leading the way himself, pro viding he with the badge of authority, is inclined to fol low. If there is a of in the streets at an un seasonable hour of the night, he sticks close to the police. But should he himself discover that a noisy mob has assembled in a particular . and suspected lo cality, ant no watchman is immediately at hand, be hurries off to the station-house in search of one, end leads him to the disturbed spot, displaying the Most remarkable gestures, as much as to say " come along,--,let's have another." But this is not all. On some occasions, when anything particular has occurred, Prim will make his appearance at the Mansion-house during the forenoon of Monday, for the purpose of seeing how matters are going on ; and if a commitment takes place, he accompanies the prisoner to the gaol, and evinces the greatest delight when he sees him locked up. Prim is faithful to his office. He has attended the watch men night by night, through summer and through winter, through rain and snow, and sleer, and wind, for a period of upwards of two years. During the first six months, he never received any food from the police ; and it is seldom now that any food is given to him. He returns at night, but whence he came , or whither he b l e o a u v r e s s o the f t h e st c a v t a i t o e - n h o e u n s e b i a a v the e c e m a s c e r d n ; n g b , u w t he i n nva ti r l i c ab i l a ; has departed, is unknown to any one.--Doncaster Ga zette. WRECK.— he sloop obert Spat!, from Dunkirk to Woodbridge , which former port she left on Wednesday, the 18 th inst. , with a cargo of oil cake for the Lime Kiln Quay Company, late that night or early on Thursday, in making for the Woodbridge Harbour, from some cause which we fear will never be fully explained, got ashore on the Ship Wash or West Rocks, and was totally wrecked. The boat, an oil can, and parts of the wreck and cargo, have been since washed ashore at Bawdsey, but no tidings have been heard of the crew; which there is no doubt are all lost, consisting of the master and his daughter, a w oman grown, who had gone over with him on pleasure ; the mate, named Cooper, and two lads, Taylor and Ward. The master and mate both leave widows and small childr en ., The vessel was nearly new , and b u t a small share of her insured. The cargo was, we understand, fully insured. FR EAK OF HYMEN.—There is at present an eccentric gentleman living in Pocklington, whose a ge is about sixty•six, who has up to this time lived in a state of single blessedness, so much so, that he continually avoided coming within the influence of, or in contact with, anything like a woman. Yet, at the eleventh hour, he has allowed his passions to triumph, and consented to be asked to Church, on Sunday last, with a dashing little maiden of just sixteen. The reader looking at the inequality of their ages, would scarcely credit that ever such an uni o n should have been contemplated, but it is a fact, an d th e wonder in some degree subsides, when be it know n , th a t, Mr. Ezard (the gentleman a ll u d e d to), it is said is worth near 3,0001. 1 his novel circumstance causes much animation in the town, and creates in the females, young and old, who are yet without a husband A faintish hope, that bye and bye, They may. alike be pleased; Some other man may want a wife, As well as Mr. Ezard. CONFESSION OF TREE OF THE PARTIES IMPLICATED IN THE BIRMING HAM .MURDER. BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY EVENING.—After five day; investigation into the circumstances of this atrocious murder, Thomas Walsh, John Walsh (his brother), Owen Walsh (still at large), and Ellen Connor (son and daughter of Thomas Walsh), were committed on Monday, charged with the wilful murder of Pete: Cof fey ; and Mary Walsh (wife of John Walsh), as acces sory after the fact. The evidence adduced way circum stantial ; still no doubt existed in the minds of the pub lic as to the guilt of the parties. ' At three o'clock this afternoon the Jury met et the Aston Tavern, about two miles from Birmingham, and near the . spot where the body was found, to sign the in quisition. The CORONER intimated to them that two of tno prisoners bad made a confession to Inspectors Stephens and Hall, and that he had in consequence directed that the prisoners should be brought before them in order to receive the statements from the parties th emse l ves . Thomas Walsh was the first brought into the room. The CORONEa told him that he had in his possession the statement which had been made by him, and that he would in his presence read it. He then read it to the Jury. It ran in these words : " WEDNESDAY, DEC. 25,1839.—Th0mas Walsh states, in the presence of Mr. Redfern, Mr. Stephens, Mr. Hail, Mr. Spittle, and Mr. Palmer, after being told that every thing he said would be used against him at his trial : A dispute between old Peter and me took place on Thursday night, December 12th, about the rent. He was pot,williiig to pay the rent. I.told him he should not remain in the house. He told me be had as much right to be in "my house as myself. I told him he. had not, and be should not remain.. He got up off a rush-bottomed chair and threw me down on the floor, and be lifted his knee on my chest. I told him not to kill me. He loosed me up, and as soon as I got up I took a bar of iron like a forge tongs, and. I gave him a blow and killed him. I did not think I should have killed. him. The bar of iron I threw in the cut below the bridge. I declare that neither my brother, his wife, or my son, was present when I did it, but my daughter was. I am guilty of the crime, and they might do what they lika with my body. I voluntarily make the above statement. his (Signed) " THOMAS WALSH." ' mark. The prisoner, after being told that he might please himself about adding any more to the statement, gave the following answers :—" I struck him a blow with a bar of iron as he was standing before the fire. I hit him on the back of the head, and he fell backwards on the bricks of the floor. When I see he wasn't coming to himself, I drew him into the coal-hole and threw the sack over him. CORONER—How came that wound upon his head ? Prisoner—Well, I don't know, unless it happened to him when I was dragging him into the coal hole. CORONER—You know there was a very large wound in the forehead. Prisoner—Well, I don't know how it happened ; nobody had a hand with him but myself. CORONER—You say the bar of iron was like a forge tongs. What has become of them? Prisoner—l put them into the cut the same night. CORONER—Nov, the cut has been searched, and they have not been found. Prisoner—Well, [put them out of my hand into the cut. CORONER—When was the body taken from your house ? Prisoner—On Friday night. There was ne'er a Christian along with me, unless it was the devil, who tempted me to do it, CORONER—How did you take it ? Prisoner—l dragged him out of the coal-hole, and I put the waggon by the side, and put part bf him in first, and then I went behind and put the remainder of him in. CORONER—Did you put him into the sack ? Pri soner—Yes, I did. CORONER—Where did you tile him to ? Oh, I took him down there beyond (pointing in the direction of the spot). CORONER—Near the railway-bridge? Prisoner— There's where 1 threw him out of the cart. CORONER—Who brought the cart to your house ? Prisoner—My son brought the cart down the entry from my brother's house, and I brought it from there. There wasn't a Christian else along with me. The CORONER then read over the statement to the prisoner, who added, " that when he was coming back again he met his son at the, corner of Stafford-street. He told him to take the cart home. His son told him on his return - that he had met his uncle, who helped him 'SO take it home' John Walsh was then brought into the room. The CORONER said to him, since you were here on Monday I have had a confession put into my hands from you, which I will read to you, after which you may add anything or not as you please. " Dec. 25, 1339. " John Walsh states, in the presence of Mr. G. Red fern, Mr. R. Stephens, and Mr. W. Hall, that on Thursday night, Dec. 12, 1839, Owen Walsh came to my house ; my wife was dressing fresh herrings ; I asked him to sit down and have some supper with us ; he said no—he appeared to be all of a flutter ; I asked him what was the matter ; he said, Oh ! good God, my father has killed Peter !' I said, ' That be damned —what Peter ?' He said, My Uncle Peter.' I said, Do not bother here, but sit down and have some supper.' He could not ;ho went home, as I think. I did not see any more of him then. The next day I went down to put an arm to a chair, near the barracks. I said to myself, I will call into my brother's house and light my pipe, and see whether the lad was telling me a lie. I went in and lit my pipe. My brother, Tho mas Walsh, my niece, and nephew, where there. I said,' What devil's tales was you telling me last night ?' Owen Walsh said, If I told you any tale you will see.' He then opened the coal-hole door, and there lay old Peter dead, covered over with a bag. I lighted my pipe, and went. A shudder came all over me. I then went up to the woman's, and put the arm to the chair. This was on Friday. I voluntarily make the above statement, which is correct. (Signed) “JOHN WALSH.” CORONER—Now, is there anything more that you wish to . say 7—Prisoner—On my return home on Friday night, after selling my umbrellas, I missed my cart from under my window. I asked my wife where it was. She said that Owen Walsh took it. I asked her what made him come for it at that time? (This was on the Friday.) She said she did not know—it was not long since he ha gone out of the yard with it. I then went out with my umbrellas again, and I returned—l can't say exactly what time--I suppose it was betwixt ten and eleven. I sent for a pint of beer to the Exchange, and I smoked my pipe. I then went out to see if the lad was coming with the cart. I met him near Thomas-street and Stafford-street. He drew the cart as tar as Cheshhe's, the Golden Cross, in Dale End, and I then put my hand to it and went with it to my house. Ellen Connor was then called in. The CORONER said to her—l understand you wish to say something ; I don't want you to do it ; you need not say anything. Prisoner—lndeed it is hard to go against my father. The CORONER here cautioned her that what she said would be made use of against her. The prisoner said she wished to state that on the Thursday night there came a row between my father and this man (the deceased) about the rent ; they were talking a good deal, so I desired them two or three times to drop it. I was doing my own work through the house. I went up then to make the bed, and I was not gone long before I heard my father day, " don't kill me." I came down as soon as - I could, and I found Peter stretched on the floor. I shouted out, and my father put his hand'on my mouth, and he told me he was only fainted ; and when I saw he was not I fainted myself. When I got up he had brought him in the coal-hole. Then when my brother came in I told him, and he was in a flutter and walked off. Nobody had a hand in it but my father.—(During the time the prisoner made this statement she cried bitterly.) The CORONER then remarked to the Jury that what had been stated could not alter their verdict. He could not in his mind conceive that all was correct, particularly as to the day. The witnesses spoke positively to hav ing seen the deceased on the Friday. The inquisition was then read over, after which the Jury signed it, and the witnesses were bound over. " 'THE SPITFIRE."—Captain Chamier's new work," The Spitfire," for the deep interest of the story, the variety of its scenes, and the stirring earnestness through-, out, may be pronounced one of the most successful works of fiction of the season. One knows hardly which portion of the work to prefer—that in which one brother is struggling in the meshes of a villanous attorney on shore, or the other, in which the younger brother is achieving immense wealth as a pirate in the West In dian seas. Some of the scenes in the latter are equal to the most celebrated of Cooper's—such, for instance, as the night attack upon the Monte Tables at Puerto Cabello ; the attack on the muleteers in Cuba ; the escape from Cadiz harbour ; the execution of the pirate Crlos ; the terrible pirate ceremonies on electing cap tains and officers ; the blowing up of the cave in the Isle of Pines, and the final loss of " The Spitfire ;" each of which would be sufficient to stamp any work as. the production of a man of genius. indeed, we look upon " The Spitfire" to be one of the most stirring nautical romances that have been produced for a long period. The Bishop of Sodor and Man having accepted the Bishopric of Lichfield, it is reported that the Rev. Robert Dawes, 8.D., Fellow and .Tutor of Downing College, will succed hint.—Cambridge Advertiser•. REFORM OIL PRISON DISCIPLINE IN SCOTLAND. Kelly, December 21, 1839. TO THE EDITORS OF THE GREENOCK ADVERTISER, THI FAISLEY ADVERTISER, AND THE . RENFAEWSHIRE REFORMER. bed leaVe to enclose copies of resolutions whichq intend to submit for the adoption of the county, on the 3d oEJanuary, after the resolutions to be reported on . , by the committee of which I am Convener, have ben disposed Of. • I have seen t' to be advisable to prepare these reso lutims, and to adopt this course, in order to carry out and support the principles involved in those resolutions of a More general. character, which I submitted to the coesideration of the last Court of Quarter Sessions. And I trust 'confidently, that when both sets are consi dered, it will be found that they contain just views of religious and moral duties, in which humanity and good government are intimately blended, and that they arc worthy of adoption by the county of Renfrew. I remain, your obedient servant, ROBERT WALLACE. " Resolved, that it is the opinion of this meeting, " That the great causes of all crime, whether in young or old, are ignorance, idleness, poverty, and bad example. " That education,, with an efficient and expeditious application of the civil and criminal law; are of para mount .importance at all times to the good conduct of the inhabitants of this and every other country. " That although crime can "never be extirpated ex cept by removing the causes from which it springs, yet much might be effected for the advantage of society and offenders by means of more frequent trials, simple pro cedure, and a more judicious system 'of secondary pu nishrnerit ;• but, above all, by the religious and moral education of the children of the poor. " That nothing short of absolute necessity can justify the protracted imprisonment of juvenile offenders in ill constructed or badly-regulated prisons. " That we cordially concur with the Commissioners appointed to Report on the Criminal Law of England, in reprobating the demoralizing practice of detaining juvenile offenders in common prisons, without classifica tion or moral discipline, for long pep iods previous to trial. " That being thoroughly satisfied of the greater effi ciency of immediate and inevitable punishthents than of such as are less certain and more severe, we place the highest value on any arrangement which will secure this invaluable result. " That imprisonment before trial should be as short as possible. " That after imprisonment, and before trial, means should be adopted for classifying prisoners ; and also for furnishing them with active employment of some kind, and leading them, even in this stage, to prefer it to idleness. " That the reformation of offenders against the laws, when committed to prison, will be best consulted by great care being bestowed on their religious and moral education, while bodily labour, to a proper extent, is no less salutary and essential to the health and reforma tion of offenders than religious and moral education. That well regulated employment, and strict disci. pline, when accompanied by kind treatment, are the best means for reclaiming offenders of all ages. " That, after trial and conviction, no time should be lost in sending eenders (especially the young, or those accused of first offences), to Houses of Refuge, Peni tentiaries, or the like, where their bodies and minds would be actively or beneficially employed. " That the confinement of juvenile, offenders in jails, or the transportation of them to distant lands, have both been shown by experience to be ill calculated for their reformation. " That it is no lets consistent with Christian duty than with the highest and . clearest principles of huma nity, to save young offenders from the unavoidable con tamination of jails, and other.badly regulated receptacles, for prisoners ; and that it is both just, and expedient, that moans should be adopted to carry into complete effect, some plan ; of providing sufficiently extensive Re-' loges for these: who are driven into the commission of: offences through destitution—the artful instigation of the depraved—or other causes. " That such Refuges, it is believed, could easily be made not only self-supporting, by a combination of agri cultural and handicraft pursuits, on a sufficient scale, but they might be easily converted into the most efficient instruments of reformation and instruction, because no other means would afford the same varied facilities for beneficial' employment, and consequently for the bodily training and education of every class of offenders. " That, as a means to those ends, we most earnestly recommend the immediate adoption of more extended Circuits by the High Court of . Justiciary ; and that the benefit of such Circuits may be conferred as soon as possible on this the county of Renfrew. " That, further, we earnestly recommend that the three stipendiary Judges of this county shall try all juvenile offenders within their bounds and jurisdiction, under simple, but efficient forms of procedure, and with the least possible delay consistent .with justice ; and that all offenders who shall be ordered confinement as a punishment, be sent as soon as practicable to such places as will tend most directly to their being 'taught eligions and moral truths, along with some trade or industrious occupation, so that they may as soon as pos sible be set at large, with certificates of good character, and the ability to maintain themselves by their own labour, and consequently be well qualified for resorting to honest and virtuous callings."

The sum recommended by the Committee was 2004, but Mr. Rodgers and Sir Peter Laurie op posed it on rather unpopular grounds, while it was most ably supported by Alderman Thomas Wood and Mr. Richard Taylor. .The Court decided against the grant, but the majcrity was obtained in consequence of the prevalent opinion that the funds ought not to be applied to any institution with which the City had no connection. The result of the discussion in the Court excited some surprise, especially as it was but a short time since that a bust to the great father of the abolition of the slavery question (Mr. Clarkson) was put up in the Court, in celebration of the victory he achieved. On Saturday last, as the Manchester mail was coming down the hill on the other side of Buxton, the off fore wheel came off, and the coach was thrown over with groat force. It was at first thought that two ladies who were outside passengers, were seriously injured, one of them having fallen under the coach, but by the great exertions of the coachman and guard, she was ex tricated with lit tie more injury than was occasioned by the fright. The other was so much stunned by the fall that she was for some time speechless, but in a little while she so far recovered as to be able to walk into Buxton. There were four inside passengers, none of whom were hurt. Another coach was procured at Buxton, and on arriving at Derby, the man who was left in charge of the horses having quitted his post for a moment, they started off with great velocity, turning the corner into Queen-street with great exactness, and proceeded on towards the Bell ; but in turning the corner into Sadler-gate, one of the wheelers fell, by which they were stopped. It was very providential that no person was hurt, as Queen-street and Iron-gate were much crowded at the time.—Derby Reporter. On Saturday a hull, the property of Mr. &WI.. ders, of Hyddau, ran furiously at and gored Mr. Thomas Edwards, of Welsh Pool, but without doing him and serious bodily harm. The Shreiusbury Chronicle says the Shrop shire Sessions commence next week. There are forty prisoners for trial in the gaol, besides.upwards of 20 admitted to bail. Such a calendar has not been pre• sented to a Shropshire Jury for many years. (From the British Colonist.) TORONTO, FRIDAY, Nov. 22.—His Excellency the Right Honourable Charles Poulett Thomson, Governor General, arrived at Toronto yesterday morning by her Majesty's steam-boat Traveller, Captain Harper. A company cf the 93d was stationed at the Queen's Wharf, and the troop of provincial dragoons, com manded by Major Magrath, was also in attendance. On the arrival of the boat, his Excellency Sir George Arthur and suite proceeded to the wharf, and went on board the • steamer. Shortly thereafter the Governor- General landed, under a salute, which was fired from some pieces of artillery placed on the bank near to the wharf, for the occasion. His Excellency, accompanied by the Lieutenant-Governor, proceeded to Government louse in Sir George's carriage ; and in the afternoon .their Excellencies walked through the city, viewing- the different streets and buildings. To-day, at noor., their Excellencies the Governor- General and the Lieutenant-Governor, with their re spectiv suites, repaired to the Executive Council, where the 'members of the Council were assembled. Sir George Arthur presided at the council board, the Go vernor-General occupying a place to the right, next to the Lietitenant-Governor. The Judges, the Crown offic'ers, the Bishop of Toronto, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Fellows of the College of Phy sicians, and other officials were . present, as well as a number of spectators. The Honourable R. A. Tucker, Provincial Secretary, read the commission by her Majes:y, constituting and appointing . the Right Hon. Charles "Poulett Thomson, Captain-,General and Governor-in-Chief of this province'. This commission is very lorig, and refers to a variety of matters, connected with the Government of this province, giving the Governor-Geuelal most ample powers ; and superseding Sir George Arthur in the Go vernment, while Mr. Thomson remains in the province. The commission having been read, the Governor. Gen eral took and subscribed the usual oaths, and a salute was fired from cannon placed opposite , the Parliament buildings. Sir George Arthur then vacated the chair, which was taken by the GoVei.nor-in-Chief—Sir George occupying the chair on the ,right, where Mr. Thomson first sat. The Members of the. Executire Council were then sworn in ; and Sir George Arthur int ro d uce d t o the Govornor-eneral the Juges and other public func tionaries present. An address by the Common Council of the City was then read by the Mayor, which, with his Excellency's reply, we subjoin. Their Excellencies and suites returned to Govern ment .House in .the same order as they came, guarded by Major Magrath's troop of dragoons. A guard of honour was furnished by the 32d Regi ment at the Executive Council Chamber, and the 93d Highlanders supplied the guard at the Government House for the occasion. The bands of the regiments Were also there : the 32d band in the Parliament square, and the 93d band at the Government House. ADDRESS. To his Excellency the Right Honourable Charles Poulett Thomson, one of her Majesty's Most Ho nourable Privy Council, Governor-General of all her Majesty's possessions in British North Ame rica, &c. May it please your Excellency, We, her Majesty's loyal subj , ,xts, the Mayor, Alder men, and Commonalty of the City of Toronto, influenced by the respect due, to the representative of our Gra cious Sovereign, beg leave to congratulate your Excel lency on your arrival in this city, Amidst the doubts and incertitude wltich the frequent changes of Governors and Lieutenanit-Governors of these provinces, and of the policy of dile Imperial Go vernment with regard to them, have created in the minds of the loyal and well affected inhabitants, we would fain .hail the arrival of .your Excellency as the advent of a more certain, permanent, ttnd prnsperous 'condition of our commercial, social, and. political rela tions ; which will restore prosperity to the commerce and agriculture of the provinces, give a mew impulse to internal improvements, and encourage tile emigration of our loyal fellow subjects. from the raother country to this importantappendageml the. Bri• a Crown. Having understood that one of the principal objects of your Excellency's. visit to this province, and •of-your assuming . the Government thereof,is to . ascertain the state of public opinion .upon the .question of the pro posed legislative union of thr., provinces of Lower and Upper Canada,. we hog to ex. - press our conviction that any legislative union, which shall not he predicated upon the ascendancy , of the loyal part of the inhabi tants, or which shall give to that portion of the popu lation who, from education, habits, and prejudices are alien to our nation and our institutions--and to that part of it more particularly which has been engaged in open rebellion or treasonable conspiracy against the Government, the same rights an d privileges with the loyal British population of tlltie proviiices, who have adhered so zealously and faithfully, at the risk of their lives and property, to their Sovereign ra3d Constitution, would be fatal to the connection of these provinces with the parent country. Faithful in our allegiance to our Sovereign, and calmly but earnestly determined, so far as depends upon us, the highest municipal body in the p•rovince,' to perpetuate the connection with the parent .state, your Excellency may confidently rely on our cordial support in whatever measures you may think advisable to adopt tending to maintain that connection and to uphold the cherished Constitution under which we livv, and which we are firmly resolved to the utmost of our power to preserve inviolate and unchanged.

London, Dec. 30, 1839. THE STATESMAN. THE WEEKLY TRUE SUN. Price SIXPENCE. The title of " Weekly True Sun" possessing nothing either of a personal or public nature, suggestive of its political and literary character; but rather serving to convey the erroneous idea that it is connected with the establishment of the Daily " Sun," and this being the source of much confusion, the Proprietors have determined, on and after the sth of January, Ib4o, to adopt the name of " The Statesman." At the same time they intend to E.N LARGE the Paper, and alter its form to SIXTEEN pages. They will also have, at the commence ment of the ensuing year, additional Editorial assistance ; they have secured, for the literary department, the very highest ta lent ; and the " Parliamentary proceedings" they will com mit to hands which will make a brief, clear, and accurate re port of whatever requires now to be reeoriled, or hereafter to be referred to. Tie Proprietors are determined that their Paper shall de fend the Radical faith with the utmost ability and honesty that can be procured in the cause, but steadily abstain from all abuse , and menace. It is already larger than most of the Weekly Papers, and no expense will be spared to fulfil the ex pectations held out.

I trust that the information wilieh I shall acquire dur ing my stay here may enable trie to recommend such measures as may promote the rigrieultural and commer cial interests of this important province. Among those measures the re-union of Upper and Lower Canada appears to me to be the most essential, and you have been rightly informed that oue principal object of my mission is to determine in what manner it can most safely and most advantageously b e carried into effect. That measure is recommended by r her Majesty's Go vernment, from a deep conviction that it will cement the connection between these col , )nies and the parent state, which it is the firm determit lation of her Majesty to maintain inviolate, but to be of permanent advan tage, it must be founded upon principles of equal justice to all her Majesty's subjects. For this, and for all other misures having in view the advantage of these provinces, I shall confidently rely upon the support and co-opera:tion of the people of Upper Canada. We have had great pleasure in hearing that her Majesty has been pleased to lend to the National Exhi bition about to open, two of th,e most distinguished paintings of Wilkie—" The Guelilla Council of War," and " The Maid of Saragossa.' The kindness Will be perhaps the more fully appreciated when it is known that these pictures were in her ov vn private apartments. THE WORKING MEN'S ANTI-CORN^LA W ASSOCIATION IN KENDAL—This body announced on Saturday last that a public mee• g would be held in the Town Hall on Monday, for'thee •purpose of consider ng the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the im mediate, total, and unconditional: ropeal of the bread tax. The Mayor, Richard Wasorn. Esq., kindly, and very properly, lent the Town-hall in the purpose, and before eight o'clock the hall was so densely filled as to exclude great numbers.' The Rev. Edward Hawkes, minister of the Unitarian chapel ; we is unanimously called to the chair s and he delivered a spec ch replete with sound. argument against this unholy impos .t. Several members of the association followed, and it w Es proposed and car rice that a petition should be prepi cred. A great num ber of Chartists were present, who„-though they did not directly oppose the proposition, ap . peLtred to wish to frus trate the laudable object by eroatiLig a division in the minds of those assembled ; and they actually carried a proposition for three cheers for the Charter. This done, other three were given for the :sot orious John Frost !-- Lancaster Guardian.
