ILLUSTRATIONS of SHAKESPEARE, A. from Pictures Painted expressly for this WORK, by ROBERT SMIRKE, Esq. R.A. and Engraved in the finest style by the most eminent Historical Engravers. A celebrated German critic has said, that the fame of Shakspeare, " for centuries to come, will continue to gather strength, like an Alpine avalanche, at every period of its de scent." Certain it is, that any work connected with Shak speare's name, and which has for its object the illustration of his inimitable productions, may confidently rely on finding favour with the world. His fame is the cause of . fame in others. Commentators innumerable have been permit ted to inscribe their otherwise priishable names on the eternal rock of his genius ; and even Players hare for years acquired opulence and popularity by happy-portraitures of his living characters. In announcing, therefore, a series of engravings, intended as embellishments for any edition of Shakspearr's Plays, it is unnecessary to offer an argument to vindicate, or an apology to excuse, the undertaking. The spirit of poetry, which hauats every scene of the Plays of Shakspeare, beckons to her sister art to wander with her, and thus " make society the sweeter welcome t" and it will now, it is hoped, he seen that she dues not call in vain. In the whole range of the drama, there are no winks in which characters so striking and various, or situations so romantic and delightful, present themselves, to invite the illustration, and inspire the emulation, of painting. The editions of our Poet's plays have for the most part been published without embellishments, or encumbered with en gravings so indifferent, as to make their possessors consider them " when unadothed, adorned the most." It is chiefly to supply such editions that the Proprietors of the present Work have undertaken it. Each Play will furnish subjects for five elegant Engravings, in addition to a Vignette; the aggregate number, therefore, of the plates will be Two Hun dred and Twenty-two. The name of the Artist from whose hand the Paintings for this Work are to proceed, may fully justify, and will doubt less not deceive, the most sanguine expectations. The Ge nius of Snsirke has successfully displayed its power in his il lustrations to Gil Blase the Arabian Nights' Entertainments, and the late Edition of Don Quixote ; and the varied scenes of passion and humour, in the Plays of Shakspeare, will afford a still more ample scope for the extraordinary skill and beauty of his pencil. The Proprietors, refraining from the usual promises and flatteries of a prospectus, content themselves with referring the patine to the Numbers already published of this Work, as a fair sitecimen of the care and ability with which the whole will regular!y be produced.

MOSTnEAr., OCT. 20.—We understand that the. survey re qtiired by the 6th Article of the Treaty of Ghent ha.S . been com pleted last season by the commission superintended by Mr. Barclay ;. that the Commissioners of both nations agreed to meet at Utica on the 23d ult. for the purpose of comparing the results of their respective operations; but that our Commis sioner having fallen sick, their rendezvous was differed and shifted to New York, where it has produced nothing decisive of the Boundary Line, which must therefore be submitted to the arbitration of some friendly Sovereign. STEAM BOAT IMPROVEMENT.—A steam-boat with a double revolving engine has commenced running betwixt Med ford and Boston. Her speed is stated at eight miles an hour, and the peculiar construction of her boiler allows it to be above deck, leaving the hold unoccupied, and free from heat and dan ger. The inventor haS obtained a patent. KINGSTON, U.C. OCT. 19.—The Steam-boat Frontenac made her last trip across the Lake for the Season on the Bth in stant. We are informed that she has been laid up earlier than. usual this season for the purpose of undergoing sonte repairs. In order to heave her down, it will be necessary to take out. some parts of. the machinery—and it wag deniidered• mere visable to perform this indispensible work at present aan in the spring. The Steam-boat was launched in the year 1816, and has continued to ply on the lake since that period, without having her bottom examined, a circumstance which is rather unusual on fresh water, and which proves the superior style in which she was constructed.! Since the commencement of the month, the weather has been very boisterous, and much rain has fallen, accompanied occa sionally with thunder and lightning. Dunng the List few days we have been visited by frost, and received timely warning to defend ourselves against the rigour of winter. [From the Kingston Chronicle, Oct- 19.] " We learn that it is contemplated to call together our Le gislature on the 21st of November. It is rumoured that the early period of the meeting is rendered necessary by the un •propitious result of the conferences held at Montreal in the course of the summer by the Commissioners of the Provinces. So far from making any arrangement, or seeming to desire it, it is said that the Commissioners of the Lower Province, in a spirit which, most assuredly, cannot be called iunicable, refused even to pay over the arrearages which are undeniably due to Up per Canada. It would appear, they think that as they hold the purse strings, they can starve our Government into acquiescence with any terms they may see fit to dictate. It is, however, con solatory to know, that there is a tribunal to which we can ap peal, and to whose award the Legislature of Lower Canada must submit—that this tribunal will protect our rights and de cide on the conflicting pretensions of the provinces with uner ring justice and impartiality." The last of the above paragraphs is a sample of the man ner in which public affairs are, not unfrequently, treated in the newspapers. " Far from making any arrangement, or seeming to desire it." Was the writer one of the Commissioners of Upper Ca nada ? In that case, how can he venture to decide against the Commissioners of dower Canada, in a matter wherein his own conduct may be concerned ? If he is not one of the Commis sioners, then what can he know of the seeming desire of the Lower Canada Commissioners ? 44 In a spirit which, most assuredly, cannot be called amica ble, they refused even to pay over the arrearages which are un deniably due to Upper Canada." Again, what does the writer know of the spirit in which the Lower Canada Commissioners acted ? •By their refusal to pay over what was undeniably due ? But there could be no question of paying over or even recom mending the paying over any thing. The law under which the Lower Canada Commissioners acted, gave them no such power, nor was it necessary. It only empowered them to enter into a Provisional Agreement with the Upper Canada Commissioners subject to the ratification of the Legislature. When such 'an Agreement shall have been entered - into, and ratified, it may then perhaps be said that something is undeniably due. If there were any arrearages under former agreements, it is obvi ously the business of the respective Governments, to whom alone, belongs the execution of the laws, to see them paid over. It has, however, been publicly asserted here, that so far from these being any such arrearages, a settlement in full has actually been made. To impute dishonesty and injustice, (for such we should have no hesitation in qualifying the withholding unde niable arrearages, or availing oneself of what the writer calls " holding the purse strings," to extort unfair terms) is but a poor support to those who have no facts to allege in their favour. It is only proving that they have the misfortune to be deficient in character or understanding, of in both. The Legislature of Lower Canada must indeed submit to whatsoever :s just and right ; it must submit to the Acts of the British Parliament, from which its holds its authority ; and it never can be sup posed that these Acts will be founded on any thing but on the forms and substance of British Justice, with a MI regard to those principles which Parliament has solemnly recorded in the Statute Book for its guidance, whenever the Colonies arc con cerned. It is not easy to account for the clamour which has been kept up in Upper Canada, on the subject of duties levied in Lower Canada on goods which it is supposed afterwards go into Upper Canada for consumption. It has always been understood that the Legislature of Lower Canada early oisclaimed any intention of profiting by citifies ultimately paid by Upper Canada consu mers, (although it might assuredly have maintained a contrary doctrine respecting all goods imported for sale in this. Province), and that the continuing to levy and pay over these duties, which in the first instance at least, in great part, certainly come out of the pocket of the subject here, was a boon granted to Upper Canada at its particular request, most assuredly under its sanc tion. The Legislature of Lower Canada appears to be suffici ently jealous of its right of levying and appropriating to the public uses the monies which come out of tile pocket of the sub ject in this Province, and it ought not to he supposed that it is so lost to all sense of justice as to wish to deprive others of a right which :t so highly esteems. When the matter comes to be sifted to the bottom, it will probably be found that the clamour has been without any justifiable foundation.l MONTREAL, OCT. '24.—FIRE.—On Sunday last, about half an hour before midnight, a fire was perceived to have broken out in St. Maurice-street, Recollect Suburbs, in a wooden house belonging to Doctor Munro, and occupied by Mrs. Arnold ; the building was consumed to the ground, with every thing it contained, the occupiers saving themselves with difficulty. A street being on one side, and a small house on the other, which was pulled down, stopped the spreadingof the flames. It' is suspected to have been the act of an incendiary, as au attempt to set fire to the same house is said to have been made some weeks ago. Doctor Munro's house was insured at the Quebec Office for 2001. and the other for 301. at the Phoenix Office. a . INQuEsT.“—Last Sunday morning an Inquest was held on the body of a man found dead in a lane leading from the main street of Quebec Suburbs, partly naked and severely bruised.— Cries of murder had been heard at midnight on Saturday • but, the street being frequented by loose characters;m one hadriutde any movement towards the assistance of the exelaimant. The verdict was—" Death by the combined effect of intoxication, bruises, and cold." The name of the deceased was John Mitchel ; his native place Exeter, in Devonshire, England ; and his avocation, cake-selling. This is the fifth inquest that has been held on the body of persons dead through drunken ness, within the last fortnight.—(Herald.) MONTREAL, OCT. 27.—Last Thursday, Lajennesse, the person whom we some time ago mentioned to have killed a man in the State of Vermont, and to have fled into and been appre hended here, was delivered up to the United States authorities. This is as it should be ; for when malefactors find that they are deprived of a secure place of , refuge, it is presumed they will abstain from the commission of the graver species of crime : and the refuse of the one territory no longer resorting to the other, reciprocal opinion will probably be mice favourable. A person was committed to gaol a few days since, upon sus picion of having set fire to the house of Doctor Munroe, which. was burnt last Sunday night.

KiwisTox, (U. C.) OCT. 12.—The County Agricultural Meeting, held on Monday last, at Waterloo, was more fully attended than the previously bad state of the weather had led us to anticipate. The manner, also, in which all parts of the proceedings were conducted, the cordiality every where ex hibited, and the spirit of emulation excited among the vari ous competitors, lead us to indulge an expectation that the society, thus auspiciously entering on its career, will not, like too many other societies in this country, languish, and after some well-meant, though unavailing efforts on the part of a few individuals, sink into the silent gulph of oblivion.- -We think we discovered in the countenances of the far mers present on this occasion evidence that the Agricul tural Society of the County of Frontenac would --experzence a better fate, and that instead of suffering. a speedy disso lution it would acquire strength, and eventually produce an important and most beneficial change in our modes of hue bandry. The good market afforded by this town and garrison, and the ready sales for their productions, which the proximity of the Frontenac farmers will always enable them to com mand, would, it might be imagined, be alone a sufficient sti mulus to enlarged enterprise, to the adoption of improvements in agriculture, sanctioned by the experienceof other counttles, and to the introduction into the County of superior breeds of cattle. Yet the reverse proves to be the fact—for our far mers 2 obtaining their lands either as a gift from the Crown,or a price altogether insignificant, and living free from taxation without any anxiety respecting the means of subsistence, er any ambition to rise beyond their actual condition, rest con tented with their lot, and jog along sluggishly from year to year in the same unwearied track. If they can manage to chase the gaunt spectre Want, away from their cottage doors, they reach the summit,of their sublunary desires, and while they quietly transmit their lands to children inheriting similar feelings and habits, they , generally neither - n*llo improve their cattle, obtain better implements of husbandry, - nor culti vate their fields with greater skilfulness. To alter these fixel habits of the people is of course no easy task, though the utility, and indeed the necessity, of the work is self-evilent. [To be continued.] DEMERARA. (From the Guiana Chronicle and Demerara Gaze . tte, Oct. l.) " GEORGE-TOW:4f, OCT. 1.-It is impossible, under the pressure of matter which has this day crowded into our office, to give place to the sentiments which have been called forth by the account of a scene exhibited this day at the 'Commissary Coiirt. It is indescribable, and affords a nnlancholy proof of the desperate alternative to which his Honour the President now reduced ; at the same time that it relieves a few doubting individuals of their anxiety, by displaying, unequivocally, the integrity and determination of the Hon. Members whd compose the body of the Court. We are compelled, howeVer, to leave the facts without comment. " About half-past one o'clock his Honour the President en tered the Court-house. Immediately afterwards the Court-bell rang, and the Marshal summoned the gentlemen of the rtii. Only one-half of the door was opened, and on their approach ing, his Honour appeared attempting to read a paper which he held in his hand. He demurred to the Bar entering the Court, and violently exclaimed against it; whilst the Hon. COM missaries De Groot and Gavin Fullarton insisted on their adtancang. His Honour then called out to the Marshal, and ordered him to adjourn - the Court. The Honourable Commissaries, on the other hand, ordered him to call the next cause, whereon the President addressed the Bar and said— ' I am sorry it has tome to this ; but it is a duty I owe to thy country and my King, to declare, that anything done at' this meeting is illegal ; I therefore, in the name of the King, ad journ the Court.' • The Hon. Commissaries commanded the Secretary to proceed to business—but the President alio, ad dressing the Secretary; commanded him to desist. The Com missaries ordered the Marshal to call the next cause—his Ho nour called out, I order you to adjourn the Court;' and again -attempted to• read the papa', but to which the Commissaries "would not listen, repeatedly stating that his Honour had no business' there, and positively demandingef him to'retite. " The President, addressing the Secretary and the Bar, Said, 4 You know what I have stated, and you hear my positiie orders not to go on at this' meeting, until some . further orders are given.' One of the Commissaries, addressing the Secretary, said, c and he has our orders to go on ;' the other also said, and he has our orders to do so.' " His Honour the President, abashed and defeated, retired from the Court, and the next cause was called. This is the substance of what took place ; some other observations parsed, but which, in the confusion of ideas, occasioned by witmssing so extraordinary and unprecidential a scene, escaped's Particu lar notice. His Honour's conduct, on the 234 Oetoberi . ..lB29, in the well remembered case tof Mr. Holmes, astonished:hi,• and every body that heard of it: but, from- all-accounts, the vehemence and agitation of his manner this day, and the furi. ous gestures and attitudes he, assumed, exceed &ascription...- The Honourable Cominisss.ries - maintained a deKrec pf determination, and calm dignity; which reflects the highest horwtir upon their characters, as Meinbers of the C?urt,and aa • " About a quarter of an hour afier.the.Court was ,concluded,, the Secretary communicated to the ga r , - ! ,h ß c#4 series, having soifie'minntes to make up—had been p to adjourn the Court until ten o'clock to-morrow morning."
