THE SUN. NOVA SCOTIA. [From the FREE PRESS to 11th Dec. last.] CAPE BRE TON.—His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, with the a d v i ce o f hi s M a j esty ' s Council, has been pleased to divide :the northern district of the county of Cape Breton into three several townships, the first of which is denominated the Township of Sydney, beginning at the entrance of Mire River in.the middle of die stream, thence up mid-stream to the en trance of Salmon River, thence northerly to the entrance of the Barrasois or pond opposite - the west end of Long Island, thence northerly to include Long Island, and easterly down midstream of the Little Bras d'Or to the entrance thereof, thence along the sea coast to the entrance of Mire River. • The second, St. An drew's Township, beginning at iheentrance of Mire River, thence along the Sydney township line to the Barasois at'Lcing Island, thence to the middle stream' of the little Bras d'or, and thence south westerly in mid- s tr eam to t h e narrows, and to the district line ? which crosses the Great' Lake ; thence easterly, along the district line to the sea coast, about three miles to uie southwest of Fourchu harbour, and thence 'along the coast to Mire River, including the islands near the coast. The thi r d, S t . Patrick's'i ownship, beginning at the entrance of the little Bras 'd'or ; thence. up. mid-stream through the narrows, and thence south to the district line ; thenceldfithwesterly along the district line ; and across t h e Portage n'ear'ilie entrance of the RiverDenniz,arid thence westerly to the termination ofthe district line near Cape Mabou thence along the sea coast northerly and southerly to the entrance of the little Bras d'or, including all the islands near the coast. UNITED STATES.—During the, last year, Delegates from different parts of Massachusetts were occupied for several Weeks in - revising the Constitution of that State, and in making such alterations as the majority 'thought were become necessary, owing to the alteration in manners and increase of population, which had taken place since it was originally, ratified ; anti this year a C onvent i o n h as as sembled at Albany for a similar purpose. H a lf a century has not el a p se d, s i nce t h e United, States. relinquished their allegiance to the British Government; and during that com paratively short. period, have obtained for themselves a name and a character which is respectable. At home they'havc been eminently prosperous,- and owing to the wars which were Caused- by the French . Revolution, have acquired immense wealth; their territory too has increased in extent toa most as tonishing degree : and civilization is every day making rapid inroads upon the most remote dwellings of the savage inhabi tants of the forest. But with all these advantages,' and not withstanding the blessings which those people enjoy, we find them dissatisfied ; and grasping at benefits which probably do not exist. • Their form of Government is admirably suited to their dispositions and habits ; and yet, as we have already ob served, they appear to be discontented ; and want a Constitu tion, such as never existed—exempt from human imperfections, and secure from, complaint. In the convention at Albany a vote passed which it was openly admitted had for its object to deprive the Judges of their situations, one of whom in particu lar stands conspicuous for his professional acquirements and ex tensive knowledge. Such proceedings afford a melancholy proof of the insatiable desire for change, which is implanted in the human mind ; and it is from circumstances such as these,. that a separation of the United States, at no very distant pe., riod, is rendered probable. Possessing territories of amazing and increasing magnitude, enrolling amongst th e i r c i t i zens persons of the most diverstild and opposite descriptions, and impairing the structure of their State Governments_, by at tempts to improve them • what is to be inferred,. but that' jea. lousies, disagreement ar;tl disunion will be the inevitable con sequence ? PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE.—His Excellency Sir James Kempt, has by proclamation prorogued the Legislature to the 14th of February next, when they are summoned, to meet for the dispatch of business. ' SAINT AND REW ' RDAY.—FritIay last being the Anniver sary of the Tutelar Saint of Scotland, a' large party of gentle men assembled at the Exchange Coffee }louse in the evening, where a most sumptuous dinner had been provided. The chair was 'filled by George N. Russell, Esq. die President of the So• ciety, and S. G. W. Archibald was the• Vice President. A va riety of toasts were giyen, many songs sung, among which w as one written for the o ccas i on, an d sung by Mr. Dempster; the music and the wine were excellent; and the night was spent in the most harmonious and convivial manner.

SMIRKE'S SHAKESPEARE. In the course of Publication, LLUSTRATIONS - of SHAK ESPEARE • 1. from Pictures Painted expressly for this WOR.K, by ROBERT SMIRKE, Esq. K.A. - and Engraved in the finest style by the most eminent Historical Engravers. A celebrated German critic has said, that the fame of • Sliakspeare, " 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 wink connected with Shah 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 tame is the cause of fame in others. Cotnn►entators innumerable have been pe►tnit ted to inscribe their otherwise perishable names on the eternal rock of his geniuS ; and even Players have for years acquired opulence and popularity by happy portraitnres of his living characters: In announcing, therefore, a series of engravings, intended as embellishments for any edition of Shakspeare's Plays, it is unnecessary to offer an argument to vindicate, or an apology to excuse, the undertaking. The spirit of poetry, which haunts 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, lie seen that she does not call in vain. In the whole range of the drama, there are no works 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 uniidoined, adorned the most." It is chiefly to supply such edi:ioi►s that the Proprietors of the present Wbrk 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 Smirke has successfully displayed its power in his Il lustrations to Gil Bias, the Arabian Nights' Entertainments, and the late Edition of DOll Quixote; and the varied scene's of passion and humour, in the Plays of Shakspeare, will afford 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 publii: to the Numbers already published of this Work, as , a fair specimen of the care and ability with which the whole will regularly be produced. . MODE OF PUBLICATION:. 1. 'Fire Work will be comprised in Tb irt y ven . Numbers each Number containing Five Illustrative Engravings, and a Vignette. 11.

QUEBEC, Nov. 20.—About three o'clock, on Thursday last, a heavy north-east snow storm .commenced, and lasted till next morning. The depth of snow in the woods the next day . was about 12 inches, although much drifted on the open grounds, where carriages were generally laid aside for trainer and carioles. The wind having come round to the north-west, several vessels Which were ready for sea sailed on Friday. Or Saturday after noon it again changed to the eastward, an d t o war d s evening began to blow a gale, which continued with dreadful violence throughout the night. Yesterday Cternoon the wind changed to the westward, and still continues, with the appearance of set ting-in of cold weather. As yet there is no ice in the rivers. On the following morning it was observed that a number of market vessels had been dashed to feces during the night, but we have not heard of any lives beir.r lost. On Sunday morning Alr. Hoyle, f this city, a passenger in the Thom, from Liverpool, arriverby land, and reported that that vessel was' driven on shore 011 Sunday morning, at St. Vanier, and the crew and passenger; saved ; and that the Stir ling, White, outward-beund to Barbados, was a total wreck on the shoals at Beaumont, and cret and passengers also saved, excepting Mrs. M'Allister, the wire of the supercargo. We are informed that Captain White hal lashed them both to wind ward, but that suffering greatly him the waves, they endea voured to :change their position, wren both were swept over board. Mr. M'Allister, though alive, is quite insensible. They had not been married a fortnght when this melancholy event took place. The Captain ;ad Mr.' APAllister are at Beaumont. • December, which often surpasses the precut ing Month in dreary aspect and chilly tempera. tare ; and at other times puts on the stern Yel majestic habitudes of determined Winter, has, in the newly completed year; taken a mask, stud as sumed the 'character of Spring s ; high and stormy gales, heavy series, but transient falls of rain, would betoken March, and might be pictured by the imagination did not our avocations in the garden proclaim the truth too strong for even the soaring power of fancy to overcome. Little re mains to be done.. in the Garden during this . Month ; cutting down the . filching and retentive weeds ; trenching the vacant ground, to be ame liorated by the influence of the atmosphere, and clearing the beds of the fallen honours of the Closing year, with the insertion of a few early crops, form the catakgue of the Horticulturist's chief December employments. The never-fail ing moisture of the soil, and the constant mild , ness of'the seasons of the past year, at no time, for a continuance, evincing an excessive increase or reduction of temperature, has caused, as it were, a greater revulsion in the natural proceeds of the Vegetable World than I ever remember even to have heard of. In my Garden, and in those under my immediate notice, there •were, on the 2d, Caroline Strawberries and Primroses (Primula veris) in full blossom.—JOth. Some Geraniums, not yet removed under shelter fur ther than that of a South East wall, are uninjur ed, and in full blossom.-18th. The Snow-drop .(Galantus nivalis), that harbinger of Spring, has now got its white-tipped flower buds above the surface of the soil. The leaves of the Daffodil .(Pseudo-narcissus) have been for some days appa rent above the mould of the beds.—The female Catkins of the Filbert'and'Hasel (Corylus aVel lana) are remarkably forward.—The Chrysan themum, the Lauristinus (Viburnum Tinus), the Double Stock, and the Marigold (Callendula Of •ficinalis).are in full flower. But all these unsea sonable beauties, and the numerous instances re corded by. the Public Prints, are merely partial lusus natures; and. although these melancholy sweets do exist, yet they betray, by their in general .drooping and pining aspect, that this is not the season which they best adorn :--the fragrant and beauteous n'igrators with us in the summer will be thinned, it is to be feared, by this hyemal The common Fennel (Anethem fceniculum) the old stems of which were cut down in November, have now thrown out luxurious shoots. -20th. The buds of the White Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) are on the• point of bursting; those of the red much backwarder. The Novem ber so:sn Peas and Beans for the first crops of next year, it is to be feared, will suffer mach from the frosts and piercing winds of Winter ; being forced into too luxuriant a growth by the unusual mildness of the season. The last Au gust sown Peas for production in the same year are now in blossom, and yielding a small pro duce, but the greater part were destroyed by the white frosts and blasts of November ; we still, however, have this last year justified the remark of the Russian, that we have Peas in December and ice in June ;, the first we have just instanced ; and there was ice on some of the ponds near the metropolis on the first of the Dog-days. 7 -2-1-th. A considerable number of plants of Migaionett e are still in fl ower an d fragrance, though in an open exposure to the north -west.-26th. The lofty stems of the Holyoak, (Alcoa rosea) have still their summits crowned with healthy flowers. ...--27th. The leaves of the Cabbage, Turnip, and other memb ers o f th e B rass i ca tribe, have not in the least, as hitherto, suffered from frost ; scarcely a leaf has changed its healthy verdure for the yellow tint of death ; the bulbs of the latter have somewhat decayed from the excessive moisture. The. Apricot trees on a south-wt-St wall have lost their leaves about a fortnight.-31t. The Crocus (Crocus vernus) is this day considerably above the surface, and its variegated leaves are begin. fling to expand. The leaves of the French Honeysuckle, of the American Laburaam (Cy. tisus Liburnam),:of the. Privet (Ligustrum vtrl gare), and of the Provence Rose, are not yet all fallen. The simple, yet beauteous llearts-ease (Viola tricolor), is still in flower. The Double Violet (Viola odorata), is still yielding her de lightful perfume in many gardens. Never were the hedges so generally deficient in those berries, which form the winter sustenance of many of the feathered tribe. The berries of the Hawthorn, and of the Dog - Rose (Rosa canina), are remark ably deficient ; of the first, not one is to be seen; and of the latter, there is merely a solitary one scattered here and there ; this, according to our ancestors, is Nature's prophecy of a mild winter; this prophecy has no appearance hitherto of being erroneous. A beautiful bouquet, composed of the follow ing flowers, was sent to some ladies resident in this city, by a friend in the immediate neighbour hood, on ' Christmas-day :—Dark and light co loured roses, violets, sweet peas, mignionette, In dian pink scabious, pink valerian, stock, heart'S ease, polyanthus (two kinds), sweet-scented colt's4oot, colutea, single sun-flower, lauristitms, arbutus, candy tuft,. African marigold, America n groundsel, grape hyacinth, and everlasting. The flowers retained all their summer fragranct. Ilerribill .Ip ur na I.) • MODERN POLITICAL ECONOMY.-:.(LETTER III.) Mit. EDITOR—There is no end of the pro found_drollery of this farcical science; its pour. pons pretensions, and its vain solutions, put me in mind of that very wise and enlightened prac tice, commonly called breaking eggs with a. ham tner ; or rather the more recondite art (which know not who discovered) mentioned in Thai bras, namely, telling • the clock by algebra. -- 7 A pretty clever fellow, well versed in languages, and furnished with all the books he chose to read ; but bred and born at the bbttom of a mine, and never allowed any intercourse with the • world, would probably reason much.in the same manner as Mr. RICARDO does about value, wages, rent, tithes, and free trade. • I have al ready addressed a few thoughts to your Readers on the three foregoing of these particulars, and will, with your permission,- take a short review of ,the two remaining ; but allow me to observe by the way, that my former objections to the mo dern doctrine on rents may be justly applied to Italics also, for one no more falls on the con sumer than the other. It should seem, by the principles of these political cognoscenti, - that every thing is evil, mischievous, exorbitant, .and hurtful to th e p u bli c, excepting the annui ties of funded property ; this is the 'only sacred thing in the eyes of the new school and though I should be sorry to go into any indivio.us remarks upon it, I may be allowed to say that it is that, not golden but paper image, which 'not only the Landed interest, but the Church likewise, must fall down and worship : and whereunto they - must both be sacrificed.---I. say, not content with declaiming against rent, as falling on the consumer, and raising the price of bread, they insist that tithes do so too ; and their doctrine has been so echoed and bruited about by reviewers and news writers, that it has literally been pla carded. on the walls in various parts of the city, and in all the Radical Newspaper, shops, that " Tithes make the . teripenny quartern loaf eleven - pence."—Y ou see the arch'cunning of a Stock jobber in all this sage doctrine ; the interest•of the funds does not fall on the public--no, not it ; high as the public is taxed to pay it—and little as it leaves many of them to pay for any thing else, it does not come within the denunciation of the political economist, no—the indianation of the ignorant is t o b e di rec t e d against'Land Hold ers and the Clergy, in order to divert. their thoughts from that which really absorbs the capi tal of the country, and stops the circulation, (f: mean the adequate circulation) of money. As to rents, it may seem an - lazily , to some cf your readers, that notwithstanding they are said to fall on the consumer, Mr. Ilicanno . (the master of scholars, as Lingo has it) writes thus, p. 64, in the first, and only edition which I have heard of, of his book :—" The rise of rent is always the effect of the increasing weallh - of country, and of the difficulty of providinefoot/ for its augmented inhabitants." Nothing can be more true, but nothing can better serve to -de monstrate that the rents are regulated by general circumstances, and proportioned to the Value of ail other things. Within my time, Mr. 'Editor, I have seen and known (and I could mention the persons and the places) that Land Owners have advanced their rents so rapidly as fo ruin their tenants, aid beggar the soil, by their mere cupidity, and (as I suppose) ignorance; so Mr:RI CARDO says well (p. 66), " That the rise or rent is a symptom, but never the cause, of wealth,":-"-- but it produces, you see, sometimes a change in the owners; for disproportioned rents soon cause•all the disposable wealth produced on the land to pass into the hands of the landlord ; while it adds nothing to the price of provisions.'• The truth of this matter, as it exists in real business, both present and progressively, is this :—High rents, or too high rents—l mean rents over strained, as they have been generally from 1814 to 1820 (and many of them yet)—have a ten dency to lozcer the price of provisions for a time, and have very much operated to this effect through all this period Of agricultural sufferings ; because they force the sale of corn and stock, and bring gluts of all kinds of produce to mar ket. In their remote effects, over-strained rents have a tendency to raise the price of provisions by producing over-cropping and mismanageMent, and thus bringing the soil to produce gradually less ; as well by being worse tilled for corns as by leaving less capital to stock it with 'when it is in grass. But let me add, that in general rents had not advanced beyond what the wealth of the country naturally raised them to ; they had not advanced' more in proportion than general taxa tion, and the accumulation of funded property ; and were they now to be lowered tO'nothing?--:- I do not believe that at the present value of pro duce that Government could pay these political economists their sacred dividends, even if all the Landholders, and the Church to boot, were to be sacrificed by their most eligible new princiPles.— I see very plainly what they aim at ; they would sack the whole revenue of the kingdom ; and es tablish free trade, that they might bring in porce lain, silks and spiceries ; wines, liquors, fruits, and pies of goose's liver; Turkey-carpets and Imperial tea; together with gold and silver, diamonds and jewels . ; Parmazan and *Gruyere cheese, and caviare for the mu.stitude !—For cer tainly when they had new-modelled.society upon their'own plan, their schemes would leave them no other customers for their commodities, but bankrupts and paupers. .1 remain, Sir, your's, &c.
