THE DUKE OF ATHOL.-At the Circuit Court of Justiciary at Perth, on Saturday, the 14th in stant, James Murry was brought to the bar, ac- cused of writing . threatening lettert. to the Duke of Athol. By the indi c t men t it appeare d t h a t in the month of July, 1820, the prisoner had written to his Grace, offering to make known, in a private conversation, a conspiracy, in which the Duke, as ,Lord-lieutenant of the county, was ma terially interested. His Grace accordingly met him in the porter's lodge at Dunkeld, when the prisoner presented him with a letter, in which he stated that he had claims upon the estate of Soil.; nary, now the property of the Duke; and that unless his Grace would instantly, give• Mtn the sum of 5,0001., or a check upon his banker for that amount, his life should pay the forfeit. In the letter he stated that he would allow five minutes for consideration ; and that if the Duke did not within that space Comply with his de mand, the prisoner had two pistols in his posses sion, with the one of which he would blow his Grace's brains out,. and kith the othei his own, hein4 determined not to survive the want of his property, By the manly and decisive conduct of his Grace, it appeared that the prisoner's at tempt was frustrated, and his person . secured; The prisoner, who is a tall elderly looking Mad, pleaded. guilty... Mr. Urquhart, couns'l for the panel, urged, : in alleviation of the crime, the obvious defect of intellect which it implied, and endeavoured to show that there, was no serious intention "ou the part of the prisoner to commit murder, who never doubted that he ; would accompl'sh his object by threats aione. - -- The jury fotad the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to seven years transportation. Above forty skeltons have within the laSt fort night been drfg up on . the Sussex Downs, by flint diggers ; no doubt, part of th e s l a i n i n t h e b att l e 'that was fon tit het'Ween Kin g Cltxßy tht ThirU atill his Bterbit's in ht. •yvht 1464.

THE EX-KING OF SWEDEN. We published, a few days ago, the application of GosTAvui Aoor,raus to obtain letters of na turalization in Norway. That request was trans mitted by the Norwegian diet to the reigning monarch for his instructions,' who - rave'the fol lowing reply :—' His Majesty recognises the loyalty of the in tentions of the late King Gustavus Adolphus, but the act of the kingdom (reichsactc), the com pact- on which the union of the two nations is founded, points. out the course which the diet has-to pursue. Policy, in accordance with this compact, reposes on the fundamental principle, taught by nature herself, 4 never to deviate in any manner from the true meaning! and -intention of a compact."l: he peninsula of Scandinavia forms a whole, of which all the-parts are united for the defence, the glory, and . the honour of the country. The 'numerous families and individuals .who constitute this whole, feel the pressing neces-j sky of Mutual aid-and support. The security of social order, the guarantee of the right of proper ty, and other effects which maybe acquired. by ,industry, should be assured by the two legiti mate authorities, the government and the legisla tiire.' The tranquillity pt the north, the scrUpn- Thus observance of the 'constitution' by 'which the' two nations are .governed, are motives of Which . the petitioner himself .will, witho u t d ou bt, ac knowledge the importance. Men, as well as states, are subject to 'de s ti n y ; nothing escapes the'protecting'care of the Moat High ; and-when .nations have completed the organization of their government, the duty of individuals is'subinisSion. His Majesty assures the Diet of Norway' of his :entire good wishes.—Stockholm, March 17." CANADA. PROVINCIAL 'PARLIAMENT OF LOWER CANADA. QUEBEC LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, MARCH 17. This day his Excellency the Governor in Chief made the following speech to both Houses : " Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " When' this Parliament met for the dispatch of public business, I-did entertain a hope that the experience of the last few years would have led you to a mature and serious consideration of the consequences that would inevitably follow, if the then state of things - should not be remedied ; you cannot therefore be surprised that I should now express_ not only my disappointment, but great concern that the same question of constitutional principle should have again disturbed the unani mity of your legislative proceedings. Upon this occasion I think it a duty which I owe to you and. to your country to call upon you to consi deroluring this summer, the result of the discus sions of the Session in all its bearings. You will see the administration of the Civil Government left without any pecuni ar y means b ut w h at I shall advance upon my own personal responsi bility; you will see individuals suffering under severe and unmerited hardships, caused by the want of that constitutional authority that is ne- , cessary for the paythent of the expences of the civil government. You will see the interior im provements of- the country nearly at a stand : you will see, in short, the executive government in a manner` palsied and powerless. When I stall again summon you to meet here in Parliament, you will come to decide the important question, whether the gover n ment shall. be restored to its constitutional energy, or whether you are to-de plore the prospect of lasting misfortune, by continuance in the present state of things. Im portant as that question is, there can be no diffi culty in the decision. When the blessings of the British Constitution were granted to this province you received with it the recorded experience of centuries of practice. There is no question of doubt or of difficulty that may not find its pre cedent in the records of the Imperial Parliament; and I cannot think that any wiser guide need be desired." After which •. the Honourable Speaker of the Legislative Council said- that it was the pleasure of his excellency the Governor in Chief that the Provincial Parliament should be prorogued unt Thursday, the 2Gth of April next.

"In the same - territory, (says the danandaigna Repository,) in the year 160t') (except the county of Steuben, which was set off in 1796), the population was 12,584. The county of de.nesee was erected in 1806, and -the courtier of Niagara, Chau twine, and Cataragus, 1.808 ; leaving for the county of Ontario its present t7:rritory. In 1810, this county con tained 42,032 ; in 1814, it contained 57,630 ; and the cen sus now taking is expected to Show about 90,000.

Sir, .I conceive that no man who has travel Liq Or even read tei anrorrp,ose, can'be the fact, Oat' the existing. social Constitutions. of' those States, „and of tothe..rs, ,are completelyat wiar :with any. paitica/ - :approach. to British: - principles and "practice afpresen't _; and can only be rem. dered so by, gradital. changes similar to those which have 'taken place- in•England,,dering , the last three centuries.- I speak. of this not' is , i question of speculatitre opitrion - ; littrasviain - mat ter of fact, dependant ;Ton circumstances. which every man may:appreciate. . The great . pOint4o-WhiCh"- - I:- allude is that the Commons.. of these States, though nainericalty powerful in the' legislative'balance,. do notipos sess the-true British:equipoize,.. sn as' neither to hurt themselves or others. In the hands of. a demagogue or a•despot , they may become the ope pressors of themselves and the . otherorders of Abe State, even , whilst.taugbt to believe: themselves the SOrEp.LIGN.PEapLu ; but as. yet, in. conse quence of the broad . and almost impassable line drawn between the " nobility " and, the " People," they do not contain within. them selves the elements of that powerful action and reaction of :Puente .omttole._ which we pos sess. It is generally con s id ere d . t h at the power of the English commons may be ated 'froth. that Act of lI.eNnY VII. which enabledthe. Barons to alienate their lands ; but I conceive that there are other causes of that - power; without' whiCh the absolute change of landed property would have been ratherinjyrious than - useful, and would hatie been destructive of the order of Nobility. Onit of these causes•is. to he found . in the answer given by the Herald's College, in the reign of Ettz,i nt:Tu, to the question—" Does- the Son of a Gen tletnan lose his gentility by being bound appren tice to Trade ?" The answer was " . No l unless it is to Handicrafts !" Previous to this we had the three distinct orders . of Society,. Nobility; Gentry, and. Corn monalty ; with certain lines of distinction: drawn between each. But the consequence of. it was that Gentlemen became Traders, and Traders courtesy became. Gentlemen—nay. NCIEL.F.I.;, Add to this that with us, our absolute order -of Nobility, which, strictly speaking, means' 01.47 Peers of the Realm, or Members. of „the. Uenter House, have no privileges distinct from. those. of the_ great : body of society,. except what are strict ly applicable.. to them, as legislators,, and for- he good of all ; not otherwise personal or for their own selfish advantage. Besides all their chil dren, though noble in, . courtesy, are by law only Commoners; hence their in flue:nee and wealth, together with that of alt the and •professioeal gentry, of all the agriciatural, Manufacturing, and commercial classes, are add ed to the grand mass of the commonalty of Bri tain ; whilst the Church, the Law, the 2.trtny, Navy, &e. Sic. instead of being distinct classes, with distinct privileges, are but constituent parts 'of the great whole. Each class of society, too; being so completely indented, or dove-tailed, so united, and intermingled in opinion, relationship, manners, and education, with those both aboVe and below it, that it is utterly impossible to per ceive where the one begins, or the other ends.. • But hOw stands the .rnatter on the Continent ? There they have no 'middle class, descending frOm the Nobles, and rising from the People, par taking of equal rights with each. No 1.-they hale but two ranks—the 46 Noble'? and " Ignoble," or Roinrior—the Nobles and the Peoplc,—)a. stead of our. grand intermingled PEOPLE, com bining in itself Nobility,Gentiy, and Commonalty. Now, Six, it is needless to shew that a King. with only one Rouse of Parliament will never do. Either the Cro4^n or the Cortes must be,the So vereign7-probably the latter—in which the n - merical force-of .th'e Commons will soon prepoit derate, degenerating first into anarchs, and then into "despotism Even with Tn. , o Houses,. there must •be an...ine quality, until. the Nobleprivileged. claSsea Ornate with the << People," Alt the Nobles, as that order is at present constituted, cannot sit• in the Upper ; and, without them, united.as with us to the great mass of the nation, .wfrat sort Of.aflouge of Commons could Italy' or r many produce? • • the the hal - tat-Orli of Naples to return lam bers from their own body ?
