Further Subscriptions since the 12th July last, amounting to £.306 6s Od. having been reported : Resolved, That the following Address. and Statement be adopted and advertised :-- The Committee feel gratifiel in referring to the present List of additional Subscriptions, as a•proof of the, unabated estimation in which their exertions are held by that portion •uf the Public, whose good-dpinidn it most ever be their wish to acquire and preserve. From the licentious Press, which, it was"their object to re strain, the Committee anticipated every effort tending to im peach their motives, and to deter them from the performance of their duty. In this expectation they-have not been disap pointed, and they regard the active exertions of their enemies as a convincing woof - that their *ours have not been inef fectual. Conscious, however, of the rectitude of their inten tions, the CoMmitfed cannot condescend wore particularly to notice the system of invective and' misrepresentation with which they have been assailed. The Ptiblic will form. their own judgnicht upon the nature of thine attacks, and the goat ter from which they proceed. To the:Committee it will ever be a source of honest pride to reflect, that they have earned the hostility of those, who, upon . all 'occasions, have been foremost to insult the Sovereign, and vilify the Religion of their country. It has been the anxious wish of the Committee in all cases, steadily to pursue the original design and intent of the Asso ciation, without noticing any circumstances which might re late personally to themselves, or other individuals. In one instance, they deem .it not improper to depart from that re serve, as an attempt has been made to discredit the Institution by the prosecution of four of its Members, for acts alleged to have•heen done in furtherance of its objects. It will excite, perhaps, some degree of surprise, that a charge of infringing the laws should have been brought against those whose exer tions have been anxiously directed to enforce their execution; a charge, supported chiefly by persons, who have either expe rienced tlie,lenity of the Committee, or who are themselves awaiting the decision of the proper Tribunals, under prosecu tiOns for seditious libels previously instituted against them by that Body. To say more upon this subject at the present mo ment might: be deemed premature—to have said less, would hardly hare been respectful to that part of the community which has so zealously aided the cause of the Association, and is so. deeply interested, in its success. In the mean time the - Committee, in the strongest manner, pledge themselves firmly and fearless)) , to persevere in the discharge of theirdutv. It would also be improper, for the same reason, to offer any comment upon the unfinished trial of Mary Ann Carlile,which took place on the 24th and 25th of July, when the discharge of the Jury was, at 'their own request, permitted, in conse quence of their inability, after a confinement of 19 hours, to agree on the fora' of their. verdict : The Committee, how ever, consider it as their bounden duty to continue that pro. needing at the first opportunity. It would be impossible to form any idea of the actual state of the Press, without a minute • investigation of the mass of 'sedition add impiety, which is still dispersed, almost with im punity, throughout the Empire. To despise the effect of these publications, ~.ecause they circulate . in some degree of obscu rity, and ,chietly among the humbler classes of our country men, would be an error fatal to the morals and happiness of those who most need protection. The enemies of order ,and of all government have long since thrown off the mask. Their objeCtis plain and avowed—to separate man from his Crea tor, and to tear asunder the frame of Society. The Press is their instrument. , By smile bloodshed is recommended, as , the shortest and readiest path to Reform—by others, con tempt of the Sovereign and the constituted Authorities is in culcated,7--by a third class, irreligion and impiety,--by all, discontent and disloyalty. Against this moral evil, so metho , dized and reduced into system, the Members of the Constitu tional Association have made their stand. They call upon the sober minded, the considerate, and the loyal, to aid them in this work. TO this they have devoted their time, their repose, and their exertions; sufficiently rewarded by- the conscious ness of having performed sonic service at a moment when service was Much wanted, and anxious only, as far as their powers extend, to preserve from the violence of rash and in temperate men, those Institutions, which hare been be queathed to us, as a sacred inheritance, by our forefathers. • BY'order of the Commitee, CHAS.

The MurJerer appeared to-be in company with two, others, who. made a tender of their assistance. The deceased, being but a few yards from home, reached there, and shortly after expired, having had ten of his' ribs broken on one side, and two on the other. The humane and benevolent are most earnestly intreated to step forward in aid of a Subscription, for the purpose of placing his disconsolate Widow and her three poor. Children, (the youngest only two months old) in some way of obtaining a livelihood, they having been left without any support. Surely there is not a heart but 'Must glow with sympathiz ing humanity—nor an eye in which the tear of pity will not start,—on contemplating the unhappytituation of the suffer ing Wife and. destitute Children, thus suddenly hurled by a misfortune, as unexpected as awful, from a state of compara tive happiness into an abyss of woe and misery, that threatens to overwhelm their afflicted hearts. If the solicited help Cannot dry the falling tear, or.soathe• the grieving heart, at the present moment of trial and despair, it will at least set re to alleviate the distress under which they labour,' it is there-: fore to be hoped, that this appeal to the Friends of Huma nity will not be made in vain.

REPORT on the PROJECTED CANAL ACROSS the ISTHMUS that divides NOVA-SCOTIA and NEW BRUNSWICK, explored and levelled in the Autumn of 1819, by Order of his Excellency Major-General GEORGE STACEY SM'I'TH, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of. New Brunswick.—By A. LOCKWOOD, Esq. Surveyor- General. The House of Assembly of New Brunswick having ex pressed a desire to have printed a few Copies, for their imme diate use, of the Report on the practicability of cutting a Canal across the Isthmlis ; his Excellency General Smyth, in com plying with this request, has directed a sheet of reference to be attached. The plan to which the letters refer, cannot be en. graved in this country. A, B. Is 'sufficiently clear in the Report. A, in the margin—The waters of Au-lac and Tantam ar Rivers unite at their confluence with those of Chignecto Bay, and the spot A, is near this common mouth. .' E, Is the proposed line to avoid the evils that would at tend vessels entering at Cumberland Creek, and to secure the advantages of the-Au-lac entrance. • H, Shows the projected dry Docks combined with the second outlet. Extract from the Journal of the House of Assembly, dated March 3, 1819. " To His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, a sum not exceeding £l5O to be by him expended, in procuring a fit and suitable person to explore that part of the Isthmus between the waters of the Bay of Fundy, and those of the Gulf Saint Lawrence, which is situate between the head of the Grand Marsh in Sackville, in the County of Westmorland, and the Gasperau River, which empties into the Bay of Verte, and be tween the Missiguash and Tigrish Rivers. And the person so to be employed, be instructed to take the difference of the height between the waters of the Bay of Fundy and the Gulph St. Lawrence, and that he report as to the possibility of a.Canal being made across the above Isthmus, and_ the probable ex pence that would attend making the smile." REPORT. FIRST LINE.—The Head of the Grand Marsh to the Gaspeztu. This line is represented on the Plan as A. B. commencing at Long Lake situate about six and a half miles E.N.E. of Point Au-lac. Long Lake is a mile and a half in length ; from 20 to 40 chains wide ; from five to twelve feet deep : it empties by a branch of the Au-lac, called La-coup. From this Lake to the Bay of Fundy, there would be no difficulty in cutting a small canal, that would drain this and the neighbouring Lakes. The level is seven feet two inches at high water in the mouth of Aulac, higher than the water in Long Lake. From the upper end of this Lake, we took our course, E. 12 N. or N. 78 E. through a thicket of thorny, scrubby, deformed spruce trees.— The ax men were fatigued in advancing one mile in six hours. The rise of the first mile was nine feet; the soil, cold white dry clay. The next seventy chains, we rose nine feet, with mixed timber : the soil poor, cold, but level, arid no obstruc tion to the spade. The same soil continues to the third mile, • to a hill eighteen feet in perpendicular height on the surface of which large rocks lay scattered, but all moveable : the soil ; a red clay. This hill may be avoided by the line bearing a few rods further north ; although it would be swampy. From this hill we descended twenty-one feet to Allen's biook, and thrice intersected this stream ; thence ascending-a hill se venteen feet ten inches high (the brook turned off to the north ward) it hit the lower part of Gaspereau River. From the last hill to high water in Bay Verte, the depression was twenty three feet,seyen inches. But the objections being very strong against the Gaspereau as an outlet to the Canal, our examina tion was not particular after leaving Allen's Brook. Thus the abov.e line will appear : From Au-lac to the head of Long Lake, 497 chians, N. 30 E. From Long Lake, to Gaspereau River, 557 chains. N. 76 E.' Consequently the whole line *ill run 962 chains, N. 55 E. Waters in Bay Verte highest by two feet, one inch. GASPE REA u RIVER being particular; y' mentioned in the Re solution of the House of Assembly, .renuersit of sufficient emi r sequence to require a plan and description, otherwise a single view exposed to us its incapacity. The distance between the lands forming its entrance, is fifteen chains ; the breadth of the river at high water; four chains ; the channel is one chain wide. The zonflueuce of its waters at low, tide ; with, those of , At the entrance of the aiantiel there is scarcely . ant water ‘: indeed at times it is dry. 'ln the river there is a spot of ten feet, but its average depth-is five... Oyster-beds choke the pas sage to this river, and may, in low tides, be seen b a re. The tides flow six feet and a half,'at the highest._ On the south-west side of: Gass pereau entrance, stands the ruin of an old French fort, ;nor Fort Alonkton ; the trench is yet visible. Gaspereau winds up, probably fourteeh or sixteen miles; the water is almost still. SECOND LINE.--Missiguaili to Tignish. Missiguash River' lies about a mile and a half south of Fort Cumberland, and two miles south-eastward of Au-lic RiVer.-- The ebb in common tides, drains the channel of its waters; and leaves the bed nearly .dry ; but in spring tides, quite so.— When the waters are highest, there is twenty-seven feet depth, and the width may be one hundred and twenty feet. The bot tom is composed of sand and mud . ; at, or rat:r:r ontzide, mouth, the flats are formed of rocks and A north-east line crosses the River in its various turnings and windings, (for it is exceedingly crooked) as films the tide is al lowed to ascend, about a mile and two-thirds, to the Aboid'eau opposite Mr. Roach's farm. The western bank near the entrance, is charged with water, and full of holes and ponds. The sluice of the lower Aboid'eau admits through it the tide, which is again stopped at the bridge that forms part of the road from 'Westmorland to Amherst. The distance between the two Aboid'eaus is forty chains. At the lower one, the River may be sixty feet wide and twenty two deep ; at the bridge, forty by twenty-six. Thence, rts former bed courses from side to side of the meadow about three miles; where it branches, and' sinks below the mossy surface.— Most of the distance the water is stagnant. About twenty chains above the trace of the brooks, a series of lakes, small, large,, narrow, wide, alternately extend to the E.N.E. and continue lip, under the portage bridge, terminat ing about fifteen chains N.N.W. of it. The road crossing to Bay Verte from Westmorland, leads over it. These Lakes are from five' to seven feet deep, and their banks arc a floating morass. Other bodies of water lie on the eastern side of Fort Law rence marsh, five miles above the entrance of Dissiguash. Four miles from the Bay, the marsh is comparatively firm and dry, although very insufficiently drained, and its average width seven-eighths of a mile. The total length of Point de Bute marsh is nine miles ; five of which is a floating surface, with barely a sufficient buoyancy to support men. A - pole will pierce twelve or fourteen feet, and a blueish thin mud adheres to it. _ After the fifth mile, the meadow widens to a long mile, and at the sixth; through to the Fort Lawrence marsh. Nine and a half miles, reached the woodlands ; the last half mile was a sunken bog, through which the party with difficulty waded. The depreision of the first mile was seventeen inches ; the second, fifteen ; the third, fifteen ; the fourth, eight ; the fifth, twelve; the sixth, eighteen; equal to seven feet, one inch. ' It was with difficulty any place could be found sufficiently solid to place the instrument. The chainbearers and ax men were wading. to their middles. The legs of the instrument pierced the surface, and sunk to the horizontal circle. The whole beneath appeared a floating mud. • To avoid the wood and keep the plain as long as possible, we inclined to the south-eastward, through a swamp on which grew a stunted scattered spruce. This continued a short mile, and about a quarter wide. Thence for a mile and a quarter, we rose twenty-two inches ; the bottom continuing swampy, with holes of stagnant water.. Red earth here and there shewed it self beneath the moss and roots and brush. _ The tenth mile brought us to the plain, without a tree or shrub, but 'covered with deep cold moss : soil, a sandy white clay. The highest level of the plain stands eight feet above the sea. Thence the land fell feet, and rose again as we entered the woods. The line continued through the easy risings or inequalities, the highest of which, between the Bay of Fundy and Tignish River, was thirty-one feet above the sea at high water. The marsh, as before stated, continued— Solid . . . . . 4.5 miles. Floating moss" . . . 5 miles. Morass • • . . 0.5 miles. ' Bog . . . . . 0.6 miles. Cariboo plain . . • ' 0.0 milei. Spruce plain 1 mile. • • • Hills, valleys, &c. . . 3.6 miles. The whole distance run by the courses, offsets and zig-zags includ •cl, is sixteen miles. The nearest line will not exceed 14 ; and that of the proposed Canal, eleven hundred and sixty chains, or fourteen miles and a half. • ADDITION TO TIT SECOND LINE. On the East side, opposite the point that divides the Rivers Tantamar and Au-lac, an indent or bend appears, favourable for an entrance ; and the ground is every way suited for the formation of Channels, Locks, and Docks. If the point de Bute marsh should be determined on, one mile length, added to the Canal, would secure vessels from all the dangers and in conveniencies pointed out in the next page.—From this en ranee it would take the course to Valiere Island.; and round ing the foot of the mound on which stands Fort Cumberland, it will join the Second Line at E. and continue as before directed. OBJECTIONS AGAINST CUMBERLAND CREEK. The Dyke and Aboid'eau have choked the bed of Cumber land Creek, both on the marsh and the slope of the Bay, and it now forms part of the solid marsh, or nearly so. The firmness of the meadow contiguous to the above gully, drew my atten tion, as best suited for the mouth or entrance of a Canal. Had not many obstacles afterwards presented themselves, no place on the whole meadow coda have been more favourable.— Satisfied with these apparent advantages of Cumberland Creek,' I proceeded to examine the channel - of Chignecto, opposite both the last mentioned places. In ascending the channel, the mud and quicksand flats, ex tending from Menudie, confine the deep water along the western shore, to the mouths of Au-lac and Tantemar : thence the chan nel turns to •the South-east, and suddenly • becomes foul and shallow. Large rocks and hard bottom form the bed of the Bay, opposite the creek and the Missiguash. On these, a ves sel drawing eight or nine feet, would bulge at low water spring tides. Ships ascending the Bay with south-eastern winds, would be compelled to anchor ; they could not fetch. Others bound down, would be delayed by W.S.W. and other winds that might. lead them down the Bay, if unobstructed by the elbow of Meriudie flats. A' difficulty would also present itself to vessels entering theeMissiguash with strong winds ; unless at the top' of high water, when one or two might enter the mouth of this River ; even then there would be a great probability of their in juring themselves. Yet if the Government shall deem it right to open communication with one of the places spoken of, it is perfectly practicable ; and part of the obstacles and obstructions may be removed, but at a very 'considerable expellee. The danger of waiting for entry, and the heavy winds, weigh se .riously against the measure. Most Canels are supplied with water from the reservoirs or bodies collected above the bed of the Canal. The projected Canal Will receive its accession from the Bay each tide, in any quantity. Its expense of fluid will be by leakage, and while the vessels are passing in and out. The outlet 11 may he used as a set of dry docks, by attach ing two additional safety-gates. Indead each cut on the Bay side, ought to have four pair of gates, made of the cheapest wood (hemlock). They answer the purpose of safety-gates, and'may be constructed to ship and unship easily, by the lower parts being delivered of water, and supplied by air or other wise. Thus inflated, they would buoy themselves off their hinges, or loaded 'with water, assume an erect posture, and be readily applied to the posts. The• entrance or cut, communicating with the Basin, must be twenty-six 'or thirty-two feet deep, to the entrance of the Basin thirty feet wide at the top, twenty-two at the bottom ; and angling six degrees equal to four feet each side. The Ba sin, fourteen feet deep, and the length and width may be regu lated by the -strength of the funds and judgmeptof the Govern ment or company : yet as the ground is so favourable near the Au-lac, a spacious Basin would have many advantages.. The high winds that 'blow from the westward would injure a wide body,' by the heavy washing of the waves. A hundred and sixty feet wide at the top, and a ,hundred below : in length, frofn fifteen hundred feet or even more. At the entrance of the two rivers, Au-lae and Tantemar, the depth at the lowest sprirgs, is from nine to thirteen feet. A . . bar crosses at the lower did Of Au-lac point. At the conflue;ce - of these Rivers the depth is from twentv-four to thirty-five - feet: In this hole vessels of any size may safely lie afloat : thence up the AuZic to -the Aboid'-eau is five miles; the bed of the River, mostly a,soft mud, except one bed of rocks, a mile be.: low Hewson's, and occasional sand beds. The tide ebbs Out to within a short mile of the - mouth. Should a cut be made ,here, it will be fiftylfive feet above low water mark at that . . The bar is composed of sand,. and after the first forty minutes- - Ilood, and before the fifth hour of ebb; vessels of any size rutty,, take shelter in Tantemar. The consideration . alone, of,vesaels finding sjlelter in approaching' the entrance of a Canal, most in a great mcaSure govern those who select the line of this interded communication. . , Trewrs.l..t -Myth. empties into Bay Verte, , by a tvinding channel, a mile and three quarters from the .bridge. The depth varies from eight to fourteen feet at low tides. The bed and banks of the River are composed of red clay and sand, And - are .easily.removed or deepened, if necessary. Three-fourthsof a 'mile below the bridge, and one mile from tie river's mouth, small brook called Smelt; issuing from between the bills,• di vides about ten acres of marsh, and joins the river. This is a convenient and eligible place for An, outlet, furnishing a. suffi cient area for a Lasna..d lock , and plv.c.ssing the advantage of couring the of th4Y higlie.st,lantr, and the chief obstruc tion of the whOle line. It might be worthy the deliberate con sideration of the Legislature, how far it. yonki. be serviceable or otherwise, turning the course of thi Tig,nish. 1 merely glance at the expediency of such a step, feeling the necessity of a more minute examination of the neighbourhood. Estimate of the probable expence of cutting the proposed Canal, from the,Head of the Lay of Fundy to the Unit' St. Lawrence. Cuts to drain the lakes and swamps, in the line of the intended Canal : - _ . - - - A Dock or Basin will contain 4,500,000 cubic feet of earth . to 'be displaced ; which will require the labour of a hnndred men, a hundred working days ; admit-, • ting one man capable of excavating five , hUndred feet each day - - - - - 2,500 Second basin - - - - - - 2,500 Sixteen miles of Canal - - - - 24,000 Clearing the obstructions, and effectually choking the channels of the Rivers - - Animal strength ; supporting ditto, &c. 2,000 . 8,000 1,000 - 3,000 - 1,50 -• 5,000 - 2,000 Steam engine - - Implements—carts, ahovels, axes, picks, harrows Gates, sluices, masonry for locks, &c. .- Engineer, four years' attendance, at £5OO per an. Clerks and Overseers, five ; .at £2OO per annum, four years - - Deepening the Channel leading to Bay Verte Buildings for thebeople, overseers, with workshops, &c. . 3,000 4,000 5,000. Total 63,500 I have shewn in the plan, two directions for the Canal, both favourable to its execution ; the one lying partly in New Brun:,- wick, and partly in Nova Scotia; the other wholly in New Brunswick. The labour and expence Would be nearly the same : and there are natural advantages peculiar to. each. . The chief of those in the Tignish, is the favourable outlet. But in the cut to Allen's Creek, the large quantity of thCehoicest Canis that would by draining be recovered to this` Province, is 'an ob ject ofconsideration t THE SALE OF THESE WOULD REVUND MOST OF THE E,XPENCE. I therefore venture ,to advise the Government's retaining the lands in thC direction of the con templated Canal, as a • measure of good 'policy' and of general benefit. . • Two hundred labourers may be employed to advantage. The labour of the first • year would be chiefly draining. Two-thirds of the men employed may be'Emigrants,•for whom I suggest a prospect of a grant in the neighbouring vacant land, that may be a great stimulus, as they will, in the course of the labour, grow familiar with that part of the Country. - The expence of the first year might be limited to ten thou sand pounds, unless it should be found expedient to employ artificers, in which case one half more would he necessary. Two strong parties of 'axe men may be employed to atv,m tage in cutting 60 or 80 feet opening through, from the head (.4* the Great Marsh to Allen's brook. The timber so felled viight at the same time be squared, trimmed, and laid apart fOr the use of the Canal. The estimate of the work, if conducied oh the scheme I haVe digested, is, in round numbers, sixty-four thousand pounds. The time. of completing four years. This estimate of time and cash must not be 'considered definite, as most of the line was thickly wooded, and a parrot it 'a floating surface, besides the fluctuation of the vane of jabour f ; and also obstacles that may present themselves, and. cannot be anti— cipated. Yet lam disposed.to believe that the actual expence would not be wide of the estimate. • I have the honour to be, with the highest respect, Your Excellency's most obedient and very lmnible servant, A. LOCKWOOD. The TIDES, in Cumberland Bay and Bason, flow regularly with great strength. At the full and change of the moon, at twelve o'clock, the waters are in. All the undiked marshes are then covered, and the rivers to the Aboid'eau are overflowed by the extraordinary rise of fifty feet or upwards ; vessels sail over the flats and . shallows, shortening their route. Should the Canal be executed, the vast rise of the tides is an advantage of the first magnitude; an advantage peculiar to the Bay of Fundy, and an advantage that, if made the most of, will save a large proportion of expence. The Civil Buhl n to be employed on the projection and execution of the scheme, must, or ought to have a perfect knowledge of the cAuses, the variations, and the effect of these tides. In Bay Vert the vertical rise is at most eleven feet, and so much iii fluen ed by winds that no calculation can be made as a guide in the use of them. A heavy northerly wind fills the Bay„a southerly one empties it with the latter a spring tide rises no higher than six or seven feet. This it an obstacle that can be overcome by the application of machines to deepen the outlet, sutlieLntly to be used in common tides, and almost - under any circumstances. Many laud proprietors in the neighbourhood apprehend that by opening the bank of Bay Verte, their lands would be lost by the general deluge, and that its violence woltld sweep off the whole of the stock, sheep, cattle, hay, &c., and carry all before it, as the water on the eastern side or the Isthmus is so much higher, than the water of the west. This needs no comment. . The levelling was conducted with the minutest care, and the assistants were Deputies West and Palmer : the operation was repeated twice, and occupied five days. The result gave the head of the Missiguash five feet ten inches lower than the' Bay of Fundy at high water, and nine feet below high water mark of Bay Verte. Difference, three feet two inches. The high swing tides of the 'Bay of Fundy, rising as they do five feet abos e the marshes, make the waters of the Bay of Fimdy at such periods two feet higher than Bay Verte. The difference of the tides, that is, half ebb at Bay Verte, when high water in Au-lac, would cause a fall through eastward, and if - an open cut was made from sit.e to side, the water would alternately run from east to west. Locks are essential, and haVe continued in the contemplation of the projectors. The Concert on Wednesday night, at Salisbury, (the com mencement of the MusiCal Festival) was extremely well 'at tended. Among the distinguished company were the Marquis of Ailesbury, Lord and Lady Arundel, Lord Folkston e an d family, Lady Mildmay, Sir John and Lady Astley, the Bishop of Salisbury, his Lady and family, Lady Medlicott, the Hon. Mrs. Harris, Sir J. Burrough's' family,. W. Wytulliarn, 4sq. M.P. and Lady, &c. &c. . The band, led by Cramer, is-nume rously and ably filled. Madame Camporese was in good voice, and executed her songs very finely. Alm Sahnon was more enchanting than ever. Ambrogetti was exceedingly diverting in his buffa songs : the duet " Do Re Mi" with Mrs. S a l mon , was particularly entertaining. Mrs: Salmon aUo elicited the most unho;lnded approbation in her Recitative (I 1 Pensieroso); as did also Madame Camporese in the admired Aria " Di piacer,'.' from Rossini's Opera of La G azza Ladra. Th e c i ty is quite full. MELANCHOLY ETENT.—Mr. Polidori ) residing in Great Pulteney-street, retired to rest about his usual time on Thursday night ; the servant not finding him rise at the usual hour yesterday, went.to his room between eleven and twelve o'clock, and found hil i n groaning, and apparCntly in the agonies of death, An alarm was given, and medical aid was immediately called,, but, before_ the arrival of Surgeons Cope land and Davies, he was no more. llis father was" at the time on his journey to London to see his son, and 'arrived about three hours after thet.vent. He is almost in a distracted state. We understand the deceased was about 26 years of age, and had for some time accompanied Lord Byron in Italy. 1 0 - 2 0 1 0 I 1 3 0 2 0 10 0 1 I 3 3 5 0
