THE COUNTRY CONSTITUTIONAL GUARDIAN: AND LITERARY MAGAZINE. THE events of the 14th of. August have given reason to dread the Influenza of a Metropolis, where mob-law has been upheld by t►vo inquests;-and' the vast majority of the yet uncontaminated Population resident in the country can no longer tamely look on, and mark with dangerous apathy the threatening steps of civil commotion rapidly treading on the beels of the Constitution. The History. of the World is little more than the detail of the factions and exuherancies of the various seats of Empire. Political Asso ciations are but the airy castles of timidity; and the'mutually atntsive jargon of the Metropolitan Journals is but the hum bug of trade, well understood by its 661 Proprietors, and tending only to confuse and blister the Public Mind. • From the SEcon CITY in the Empire, then, is about to emanate the daring but fearless attempt of counterpoising country opinions against those of a liCentious capital ; and of counteracting the errors of therpress by the exercise of cutem porary powers. - In the Metropolis itself, such an attempt wilVbe hailed with pleastue by thousands; and in the country, it will be supported by a spirit of emulation. . " THE COUNTRY coNsTmmoNAL GUARDIAN" will be printed and published by John Matthew Glitch (Pro prietor and Editor of Felix Farley's Bristol Journal) at Bristol, on the tat day of every month, commencing in No vember next; but although printed there, published there, and edited there, it has been found from custom and the course of trade, that it can be circulated with greater punc tuality and at less expence from the Metropolis; Booksellers therefore and News \Tenders will be pleased to direct their orders to Messrs. Rivingtons', St. Paul's Church Yard and, Waterloo Place, London ; by whom it will be supplied with as much regularity,as other Per;odical Works. Price Two Shillings. But all Communications (post paid) must be ad dressed solely to Mr. Gutch, at Bristol; or for .the sake of convenience, under cover to him, care of Messrs. Rivington. And it is confidently expected, that as " The Country Con stitutional Guardian" is intended to express the sound sense and loyal feelings of the " Country versus London," there will be no wont of emulative coMmunications, on every point in which the Constitution is concerned, whether of a grave, argumentative, satirical, or playful nature. THE COLONIES. UPPER AND LOWER CANADA. [From the "Quebec Gazettes," from the 20th Aug! to 3d Sept.] MONTREAL, Aua. 18.—num.—Last Wednesday night at about nine o'clock the tocsin sounded, and the inhabitants flock ing to the spot, found the houses of Messrs. Allison,Turner, and Co. and Mr. St. Dizier, 'in St. Paul-street, (the latter oo cupied by Messrs. Scott and Spittal, and Mr. Peddie,) spout ing black smoke out of every aperture, while the extensive stores in the rear were nearly filled with flame. In a moment the, street became a scene of bustle and activity, the engines were dragged down, lines formed to the shore, and the.6oth Regiment, with extraordinary promptitude, marched down and posted where they could be most useful. Notwithstanding, how. ever, every exertion, all the ,bin.ldings just mentioned soon fell a prey to the devouring elerner!t, and the utmost that could be effected was to preserve the adjacent premises.—The following is an account of the amount of the insurance, (the total of which is greater than that of the loss sustained,) and of the property ost and uninsured. Messrs. Allison, Turner, and Co.'s Goods, £O,OOO hlr lild l .lri egdie's Goods - - 44,(51:14 Mr. St. Dizier's building - 2,100 £14,600 Messrs. Allison and Turner's House and Furniture - - - - £2,100 Messrs. Scott and Spittal's Goods Q 2,600 uebec. Mr. Peddie's Furniture - - 350 5,030 Total £19,950 Consumed in thev.StoreS of Messrs. Allison, Turnet and Co. 1000 buShels of wheat, belonging to .Messrs. St. George and Co. of York, tipper Canada- 7 700 bushels of wheat, and . 62. pipes of Benecarlo wine, - belonging to M'Gill and Dowie—and 25 puncheons of rum, consigned to Mr. George Davis—all un. insured. Mr. James Allison, inspector of potash, also lost property to the amount of about 1501. and misses some chests, which, if not saved, will make his total loss about 3001. Of all the property contained in this large pile of buildings, none was (we understand) preserved. but the good - of John Scott, and Co. such was the rapidity of .destruction ; or, if any little has been saved, it has been damaged so as to render it nearly valueless. . To conclude, it• has 7 , 0 t yet been ascertained where the fire originated ; it is indeed agreed, by those who had an opportu nity of seeing it in its earlier stage, that it proceeded - from the rear-buildings ; but none of the proprietors are able to form the slightest conjecture how a large flame could instantaneously blaze out without any known cause, at a season of the year when no stoves are used, and when all business terminates with day-light Suspicion, however, glances on no one. , KINGSTON, (U. C.) AUG. 17.—1 n the beginning of last week, Captain MacDonald, late of the 35th Regiment, a pro. ptietor of lands in the new Township of Asphodel, had a happy escape from a most painful and perilous situation. He was logging a field with a yoke of oxen alone, and while drawing a large log along the slope of a hill it rolled suddenly upon him and caught his feet, which it held fast jammed against the stump of a tree. Every endeavour to extricate himself proved fruitless, and he was compelled to suffer during twenty-five hOurs the most excruciating pain ? and most tormenting thirst, with - scarcely a hope of relief. Fortunately a gen tleman living on an adjoining lot, .his only neighbour, who had an appointment to meet him on business—after waiting for him some time, went to his house, and after a little search discovered him in the situation above described. We are happy to learn that Captain NI. who is a most active and valuable settler, is recovering, and that his foot and leg, though severely injured, will probably be preserved. • We observe statements in many American Papers of the great aloindance of rain in the States of Ohio, Virginia, &c. and of the damage done- by floods to milldams and bridges. In this country we have no cause for similar. com plaints, since on the contrary the weather during the last three weeks has been uncommonly , dry, as well as oppressively The ground is parched. and the vegetables in the gardens droop and wither from the want of moisture. The drought however , . - • ~Im% ' ;."•',l7* „7-1-4itk, T stant heat--the thermometer, has ranged, for those eight days past, from 74 to 91 degrees in the shade: The water in the river continues low, in proportion to former years ;, it rose a little from theist of April, till the Ist of July as usual ; it now falls fast a nd will, probably, be lower this fall than ever it has been known. YORK (U.-C.) AUG. 23.—Although the clouds haVe very frequently threatened a storm of rain, yet the weather in this neighbourhood. has continued dry for a long time, and great inconvenience is beginning to beielt in consequence. Frequent showers have fallen in the townships: to the northward. The harvest season.has been very favourable ; and the crops in all parts of the province are said to be abundant. • lincosToN, (U. C.) AuG. 26.—The King,ston Herald, of the 10th inst., contains the names of three hundred and eighty one persons, who have been attainted of high treason committed in Upper Canada, or Who have been returned as having ab sconded from the Province durin g the late war with the United States of America.. And all those who can, are requested to give information of any person not included in the list liable to be declared Aliens by. the:Statute, 54th George the Third, as having left the .Province during- the war, without hcence ; or of any lands owned by them, or any of the individuals named on the list of Ist, of July, 1812, or afterwards, not heretofore forfeited. We learn from a Gentleman who arrived here last evening in the Steam-boat Charlotte, that . M'Garry, Harrington, Kelly, and Masters, the four men condemned at the Cornwall A ss i zes for the murder of John B. Sibert, of Williamsburgh, were on Monday last executed pursuant to their sentence. M'Garry appeared first on the platform. On coming forward he gazed round on the spectators, and turning ui his eyes surveyed with the -utmost coolness and apparent indifference the apparatus of death, and then looked back into the Court-room to see if his accomplices were following him. After they were all brought on the scaffold and pinioned, M'Garry 'and Kelly confessed their guilt, declaring at the same time that Masters and Harrington were innocent of the murder, and were 'only participators with them in the plunder of the property. M'Garry, with a kick, threw his shoes off the scaffbld from his feet, questioned the executioner whether he had ever performed such an officebe fore, and being answered in the negative, desired to give him " plenty of rope." All the criminals being Roman Ca tholics, were attended to the place of execution by the Right Rev. Bishop Nl'Donell, of Glengary, who had solemnly ad monished them to make a public confession of their guilt, and to exhort others to take warning by their fate. M'Garry con cluded his short address to the byestanders with saying that he had " already confessed his sins to his Maker," and had not come there "to make a stage player of himself." in a few moments the drop fell and the four unhappy men were launched into.eternity. After hanging about three quarters of an hour, the bodies were cut down and delivered to the surgeons for dissection. , MONTREAL, AUG. 29.—(Ton WEATHER.)—After a long and uncommon drought, it began to rain before break of day on Sunday last, and continued till towards evening without in termission but moderately. The good resulting will be beyond calculatiOn, as the earth was in a manner parched, vegetation drooping and the cattle suffering for want of food. The morn ing after this rain, the Sun rose in unclouded splendor and gave an opportunity abbut nine o'clock A. m. to see his disk more than half concealed from view by the intervention of the moon— or in other words eclipsed. DISTRICT OF QUEBEC, SEPT. 3.--(Annicur.TunAL REPORT FOR AUGUST, 1821.)—The weather continued dry and unusually warm, with some heavy thunder-showers at long intervals, till the last days of the month, when it changed to cool, with a smoky haze, clearing off when the wind was north_ erly, and returning with southerly and westerly winds. On . the night of the 29th there fell a heavy north-easterly rain, which changed the next day to clear and very warm weather for the season, the thermometer rising to 80 degrees in the shade. The Hay was all got in in good order early in the month. 'lt proves generally short of the crop of last year. Winter Wheat, sown at the end of August and beginning of September, was cut about the 10th of the mouth, affording a very plentiful return of an excellent quality. The Barley liar vest began about the same time; the early red bearded Spring Wheat was lit for reaping about the 15th; white bearded within a few days. after, and the harvest became general before the close of the month, - thus allowing hardly four months in the ground to the bald Spring Wheat, which is still'preferred by the great majority of the farmers. The Crops of all the aforementioned Corn are good in qua lity, abundant both in Straw and Grain, excepting on some high light lands, where the grasshoppers and . other insects have w proved very destructive. Nothing is now ant& but favour able weather, to insure us the blessing of a good harvest. Peas are.also an unusually good crop -; and Oats are superior to the crop of last year, being generally sown after the other grain; a great proportion of theism are still green. The Potatoe crops, which looked uncommonly well last month, have suffered by the dry Weather.' in several places a small black flea, .unusual at . tins .season, has injured the leaves on 'the stalks, and weakened the plants ; many doubts are expressed of the Potatoe Crop this season. Several persons who are in thehabit of raising Turnips have entirely failed this season, the young plants having been dee stroyed by insects, particularly by the small black flea, th, grasshopper, and a black cricket; tne numbers of all of which as well asxaterpillars, have been greater than at any time for the last twenty years. The Turnips which had the benefit, of the rain in the beginning of July, escaped the ravages of the in sects and have done well, promising at least a fair average crop. The gardens and orchards still promise ,nearly the usual supply, although some of . the former prove altogether unpro ductive, owing to the mischief done by the different sorts of in sects. It has been observed that gardens where barn door fowls and ducks are kept in the neighbourhood, and arc suffered to run at large, have suffered very little. 'rhe prices in the Quebec Ntarkets are given in this day's Paper. It will be seen that butcher's meat continues high priced. For grain there is absolutely no demand : Wheat is said to have been offered at 2s. a 2s. Od.. per minot in the District of Mon treal. The price of grain eventually affects the price oflabonr, and every other agricultural production, and more so perhaps in this country than in any other, because with us it furnishes by far the greatest part of the Food of the inhabitants.

The flourishing state of this beautiful village may be gathered from this circumstance. A Presby terian Church was built there last year; a Protestant one is now buildin., and the Catholic Chapel-will be begun and probably • completed next summer. - QUEREC, AUG. 20.—Her Ladyship, • the Countess Dal housie, returned to this city on Friday morning last, in the Malshain steamboat. We hear that his Excellency the .Go \truer-in-Chief, who has been as far up as Drummoild's island, is daily expected. His Majesty's ship. Newcastle, Capt. Fanshawe, having on board 'Rear-Admiral Griffiths, sailed from this port yesterday mornin g a t s i x o'clock, under a salute from the Cape, whin she returned in the offing. The Admiral had • been for some time engaged in visiting tile St. Lawrence, the OttaWa, and Lake Ontario. The New Bridge erected near Mr. Goudie's ship-yard -at St. Roc, by the. Proprietors of Dorchester Bridge, was opened-to the public-on Saturday last. Ii is a substantial and convenient wooden structure, furnished with buildings on each side, near - the centre of the bridge, whiclAte intended for the accommo, dation of the public. Avenues have been made from the north end of the bridge to the road at the old bridge, and in a straight line through Mr. Anderson's farm to the Beauport-road, with a.descent • from the bridge- to the beach leading to Beauport. The tolls are the same as were exacted at Dorchester bridge. , The new bridge shortens the communication between Que bec and the palishes on the north - shore, including Charlesbourg, and it will greatly add to the value of the adjacent property on the northern bank of the St. Charles and in St. Roc Suburbs. Where improvement is so evident, we regret to hear complaints that the draw-bridge required by law for the p a s sage o f ves s e l s hasnot been placed over the .main channel of :the river; and that part of St. Roc Suburbs is deprived, in consequence of the erection of the bridge, of its usual convenience of drawing water from the river. -S MONTREAL, Awn. 21.—The steam-boat De Salaberry ar rived here last Sunday ,evening, from Quebec, intending to ply between the two cities till the autumn, when it is hoped she shall find a sufficient depth of water to carry her up the Riche lieu to Chambly, an attempt in which she lately failed, not hating been able.to ascend, when laden, higher than St. Ours. It is intended, we understand, to apply to the removal of ob structions in the navigation of that river, a sum appropriated to that subject by the Provincial Parliament, but yet unemployed. Twelve canoes laden with furs, and belonging to the Ho nourable Hudson's Bay Company, arrived here last week from the Interior. About a fortnight ago Mr. Leslie's servant, while on his way to his master's country house, was stopped on the Parthenay road by two footpads, one of whom caught the bridle of his horse while the,other attempted to seize the rider. The horse, however, fortunately plunging, disengaged himself from the robber's grasp, and the servant, putting it to its speed, escaped. QUEBEC, AUG. 23.—His Excellency the Governor in Chief, accompanied by Captain Hay, A.D. C. arrived in this city on Tuesday evening . in the steam-boat New Swiftsuri, oil his re turn from his visit to the military posts in the Upper Province. He went up by the it. Lawrence and Lakes, and returned to Montreal by the Ottawa. Col. Cockburn, Quarter-Master. General, who was in the suite of his Excellency, has gone to visit the military settlements. We understand that an Auxiliary Agricultural Society for the Riviere du Sud, in the county of Hertford, has been lately formed, of which Col. Fraser is President. Another Auxiliary Society is forming for the same county, for the parishes on the river Boyer. MONTREAL, Au G. 25.—1 t will be seen that the Census of this City falls far below the number at which it has been hitherto fixed; we stated the number sometime since to be 30;000; and the Editor of THE HERALD fixed it at 24,000 ; but it appears that we were both mistaken.

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.—There was a fine opportunity of observing the eclipse which took place this morning, as indi cated in the Almanacks. We should be happy to publish the observations of any person who may have had the opportunity and proper instruments of observing it correctly. . • The harvest is now become , general in this district, and we are happy to state that so far as our observation and information extends, it is more abundant than usual, which we believe is generally the case throughout the whole of the northern part of this Continent. The weather continues dry and favourable for securing the crops in the best order. TO THE EDITOR OF THE QUEBEC GAZETTE. Quebec, Aug . . 28, 1821. Sin,—As you state in your last, that you will be ready tci, publish any observations which may have been made of the Solar Eclipse.which took place yesterday morning, I venture to send you mine. The first'-visible Contact, which was on the North-Western Quadrant of the Sun's circumference, about 45 degrees from the superior extremity of its . perpendicular di a m e t er , t oo k pl ace at 30 seconds past 8, and the last visible Contact, which was ex actly at its inferior extremity, at 22 minutes and 58 seconds past 10 apparent time at the place of observation, which was about 10 seconds North of. the English Cathedral at Quebec. — The power used was about 30. The time was taken, with a good Box-Chronometer, and corrected by a series of 28 altitudes taken during the Eclipse. with a very tine 12-inch Sextant by Troughton ;—and I am disposed to belieVe that it may be de pended on within 2 seconds including all errors.--LThe part eclipsed to as nearly 6 digits. It is to be lamented that this Eclipse. was not visible'at Green wich :—should you be able.hoWever to collect any other obser vations made with equal care in any of the principal Towns in North America, they will, of course, be useful, as tending to settle their positions with regard to Quebec—Solar Eclipses and Occultations of the fixed Stars, when actually observed at different places, affording some of the best means of ascertain ing their relative longitudes.—Four's truly, 1 3 IIILASTRON.

A NEAT OF GAMESTERS.—In Consequence' of information being given to the Magistrates: at the PUblic Office, Union hall, Southwark—"That , a set of Gamesters met nightly at a house'in Lambeth-road, St. George's,-fields, to plaY the unlawful games of Rouge. et Noir ana I.; and that the same were, a great annoyance to 'tile peaceable housekeepers in the neighbourhoOd; by sallying forth at unseasonable hours in the night and morning, from their rendezvousonaking great noise and disturbance at thOSe tiMes." In order to suppress so great a nuisance, Mr. REEVES ' the Chief Clerk to the above Magistrates, proceeded on Saturday night about eight o'clock, with a body of police officers, &c. to execute a warrant for, the apprehending all persons to be found in the act of gaming at the above house. The offi cers having effected their entre by a feigned voice at the street door, answering to the person at , the inside, " Open the door, 'tis Bill," which voice was supposed to be that of the porter. — They went upstairs, and in the front room on the first floor surprised a host of ganiesters playing at Rouge et Noir; on the table they seized about 20/. in cash, and several packs of cards . , wooden rakes. or apparatus used at the game, dice, .and dice boxes, and the Rouge et Noir table.. Mr. REEVES (being assisted : by the Second Clerk to the Magistrates) having commanded silence, and that nobody should attempt, to escape, in the King's name, proceeded to read the warrant he had to execute on the premises, and having so done, he then demanded of every person present to give him their names, occupations and address, which they accordingly did, .and the same were wriaen.down by the second clerk. Each of the persons so-found gaming (there being 16 persons present) were put in separate coaches, and con veyed to a prison-house in the Borough for safe custody, previous to an examination before,. the Magistrates this day, when they will be amenable for their unlawful proceedings. The town of- Sudbury was thrown into con siderable bustle on Wednesday, by some .wag having imposed upon the Common Crier to an nounce that Alderman WOOD, M.P. had arrived in that plasp for the purpose of refunding .to the contributor,s the money received for the-pur- . chase -of a service , of plate for the late QUEEN, and *that he would meet the' subscribers at, the Rose and Crown Inn, bet Ween five and.seven o'clock. The Mderman was dining with a friend in the town when the notice was giving : a num ber of persons soon collected; but measures were speedily taken to assure them that the whole was a hoax.
