the expediency of reviving and continuing in force for a limited time an Act passed the 11th May, 1820, extending the time allowed for the redemption of land sold for direct taxes, in cer tain cases, or of otherwise granting relief to the owners of the land, where it has been purchased on behalf of the United States." Mr. WooD suggested, that the motion of the Gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lathrop) was not sufficiently broad to cover the object in view. His (Mr. W.'s) attention was drawn to the sub ject, and he had drafted the following motion, intending to have himself proposed it : " Resolved, That the expediency of extending the time for the redemption of land sold for the direct taxes, under the several A cts, passed Aug. 2, 1813, Jan. 9, ISIS, and March 5, 1816, and which have been purchased on behalf of the United States, be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means."—Mr. W. hoped that both Would be laid on the table for inspection and consideration. Mr. Lathrop assented, and the Resolutions were respectively ordered to lie on the table. The PRESIDENT'S Message, on the motion of Mr. SAWYER, was taken up, is a Committee of the whole, on the State of the Union.—Mr. T tyLon, of New York, in the Chair. A Resolution, proposed by Mr. MoortE, of Pa, to prevent duels among persons employed in the Civil, Military, and Naval Service of the United States, was adopted, when the House adjourned. Mr. MONROE, in his Speech on the opening of thF Session of Congress, observes, that " it may fairly be presumed, that, under the protection given to domestic manufactures by the existing Jaws, we (the United States) shall become, at Po distant period, a manufacturing country, on an extensive scale." This anticipated result PePends on more than one circumstance. Are the existing duties sufficiently high to operate as as a protection,—that is, do they in effect exclude foreign manufactures from competition with do- Mestic manufactures in the markets of the Union That they do not, is obvious from the extraor dinary shipments of British manufactures which a re now making for American ports ; and, even of th a importation duties were such as to pre f to ent th e ures regular in introduction of foreign manu factures consumption of the United States, Would it be possible to prevent smuggling on so e x t, e' A • - •'Letl a coast as that which the United Lat"s possess ? Even if the total exclusion of lareign manufactures could be effected, do the Americans possess the requisite capital and skill, the spirit of manufacturing enterprise and the habits of manufacturing associations, for giving, under an exclusive system, a sufficiently sudden hnPetus to manufactures for the supply of the Population, and in such abundance as to induce t hem to submit patiently to the protective pro cess ? If not, the privations to which the people mus 4 be subjected will render the scheme abor tive, either by inducing smuggling under all ha zards, or by the discontents of the population c ?mPelliner the Government to abandon the pro tective system. We readily agree with Mr. MoNnoE that the U nited States contain the raw materials of manu factures, and that they possess the capacity of in creasing them to an unlimited amount ; and we, f °r our part, should not be sorry to see their ca- Pabilities employed, even to the full extent which thePreaident anticipates. Certain it is, that if Great Britain were to compete v;ith them after they shall have adopted " every improvement cal culated to lessen the demand for and the price ( r e; -' ~ 'art) of labour," she could derive any thing but advantage from the continuance of the corn- Mercial intercourse. We have already experienced l thi • s country, to a sufficiently appalling extent, Me consequences of the reduced value of labour, 11 4 the frightful amount of pauperism, and the Is zetchedness and demoralization of a large mass .or the working classes. We are not disposed to he-envious of the Americans, if they choose, un instructed by our errors, to pursue the same co arse. An attempt at competition would only L e • i njurious to both parties,—to us in exacting 4111 further sacrifices of ill-requited labour from th e mass of our population,—and to them, by Irre sistibly depressing the value of their industry bel ow the standard at which it is equivalent to the atta inment of the comforts of life. 'here is nothing produced by the United tl t4 tes with which we cannot be furnished by our lie beautiful Colonies. It is our obvious po- Y) therefore, to protect and foster them, by Rivi h eiti "g a preference to their prod ucts over those lie Unit e d States, in the same manner, and on s ame principle, that the United States give tir ° , t ection and pr e ference to their own inanufac- Dt s over ou r s. By pursuing this policy the i of the United States will not be injuret . (41 r c Inpetition ; while, on the other hand we shall speedily open markets within our own empire much more extensive than those which any or all foreign countries present to us,—and markets infinitely more valuable, since by equi table exchange, instead of unjust rivalry and in jurious competition, every class of our people, in every part of our dominions, kill be enabled to obtain a fair return for their industry. BERGAMI. The following very interesting document has been communicated to us by a Gentleman who was at Milan,when it was published by the Aus trian Government. Delicacy prevented his giving publicity to it whilst proceedings were pending before the Lords,or during the late Queen's life ; but all- causes of silence being now removed, he thinks the publication of it may have the effect of removing much of the unfounded prejudice which still exists upon the subject, inasmuch as it chews pretty strongly the sense entertained by the , Austrian Government on the conduct of the indi viduals mentioned therein.—(Lurk Advertizer.) TP. ANSI, kTION. Despatch from his Excellency the President of the AulicA Central Commission of Organization, to his Excellency Count Saurau, Governor of Milan : " After the information communicated by your Excellency, respecting the application of the Princess of ‘l'ales, that some persons of her suite may be permitted to wear the Decora tions of Orders conferred upon them, it has bey) resolved, in concert with the President, &c. &c. That permission cannot be granted to the Austrian Subjects to accept and wear the Decoration of the Order of St. Caroline, instituted by the Princess of Wales ; and much less, that of the Holy Sepulchre, which is conferred by the Franciscons of Jerusalem. And still less can permission be granted to the soi disant Colonel Bartolomeo Bergami, to use the title of Baron della Franchina, assumed by him of his own authority, and to wear the Cross of the Order of Malta, unduly acquired : inas much as both for the one and the other, it was necessary to obtain the Sovereign authority of his Imperial Majesty as Sovereign ; in addition to which, the Commendavor of the Order of Malta, Basco, has already received from the Lieute nant of the Grand Master of Catania, an injunction to recall . the Bull of the Order from the said Bergami. All this consi dered, it will remain for the prudence of your Excellency, of which we have had frequent experience, to make known this determination in the most proper manner to the Princess of Wales, as to what respects the wearing of the said Decorations ; and as to what relates to the using cf the title of Baron, as sumed by Bergami, to enforce, in case of need, the existing Laws. " July 21, 1317. (Signed) " RAZANSKI.". PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.-The Parlia ment assembled yesterday. At three o'clock the Loan CHANCELLOR, attended by Lords CHOI, MONDELEY and MELvit.LE, the three Commis sioners, entered the House of Lords. The Yeo man Usher (Mr. QuAaME) summoned the Com mons. Mr. W. LEY (in the absence of Mr. IticKmAN, who is out of town,) and other offi cers of the Commons, appeared below the bar. The LORD Cit tscELLoa said, that they, as Com missioners, were authorised to declare the Par liament, by Proclamation, to stand further pro rogued till Tuesday the sth of February, and then to meet " for the dispatch of business." The KING is expected to return to Carlton Pa lace on the Ist of February. It is said that his MAJESTY will not reside permanently in town, but will occupy, during the summer months, his favourite cottage in Windsor Great Park, and come occasionally to the metropolis, as State Af fairs may require. WINDSOR, J.N. 1.-This being the first day in the new year, her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER arrived at Frogmore from Bag shot Park, on a visit to the Princess AUGUSTA. Her Royal Highness returned in the afternoon to dinner. On Wednesday Mr. PHENISEY, Messenger to the British Embassy at the Court of Vienna, ar rived in town with despatches for the Marquess of LONDONDERRY, and was likewise the bearer of dispatches for his Highness Prince ESTER.. HA Y. Lord GWYDYR has returned from Brighton to his house on the Terrace, Piccadilly. Some new arrangements in the House of Lords, previous to the opening of Parliament, for the reception of his MAJESTY, Will, it is said, take place, under his Lordship's direction. The question, who is to fill the President's Chair at the approaching election, is already agi tated in the United States. Mr. CRAWFURD and Mr. ADAMS are the two candidates who seem to have the best chance, and from the movements ob servable in the Southern Provinces, it is expected a great stir will be made in favour of the - ormer. Ma. PLUNKT:TT.--We have had ,some informa- tion lately, which almost warrants us to assure our readers, that ere next Term, the Right Hon. W. C. PLUNKETT will resume the high station of Attorney General, which he formerly occupied with such honour to himself, and advantage to the country.—(Freeman's Dublin Journal.) FEMALE INTREPIDITY.-011 Saturday night last, about half past ten o'clock, as Mrs. Clarke, grocer and tea-dealer, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was going to her" house in Hillgate, Gates head, when she had proceeded about half way. down a dark passage leading thereto, and was within a few yards of her own door, a fellow seized her by the neck,and laying hold of a reticule she had in her hand (which contained her watch,and a considerable sum of money), after a severe strug gle he tore it from her, leaving the strings with the lady. Mrs. Clarke called loudly for assistance, and even followed the fellow up a flight of steps to the head of the passage,but no one appeared, except an old woman with a light, by which it was discovered, as the depredator made his escape, that he was dressed in a blue jacket. The spirited resistance of Mrs. Clarke was not,. however, without its effect ; the man being alarm ed, had thrown down his booty in the passage, where both the reticule and the whole of its con tents were fortunately found. Mrs. Clarke, we are happy to say, is' no way injured, except a little stiffness in one arm, ariing from the struggle. (Tyne Atercuu.)

P 0 • E T It Y. THE MARBLE HEART. W hen love's first flush came o'er my heart, 'Twas when thy beauty seized it ; Nor bath it let that flush depart, Although thy coldness freezed it. Thou stood'st before my, wondering eyes, A shape of magic lightness, And, in my midnight dreams, did rise Army'd in fairy brightness. But cold, cold, cold, the marble stone Not snowier, and not colder ; A glory to be gazed upon . That chill'd the charrosd beholder. Against thy charms 'tis vain to war, 'Tis vain to try resistance ; The kneelers in thy temple are All kept at holy distance. But "mow—for bards may speak the truth— And list the voice of reason, Though fair the rose-bud be of youth, 'Tis only for a season. . The chilling .winds of winter haste , O'er time's rough ocean hither, And, like the weeds upon the waste, The fairest rose must wither. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The 'deer took at first towards Cowley, and Arlington, making a double back by Colnlyrook, - and Langley, towards Slough, taking to the left down towards Eton, wliere the water is out very mile's. This fine hind took the water, and swam across to the Windsor side ; the Park wall being washed down with the flood, she swam through, and - along the buttons of the slopes till she came to Mr. Ingall's gate, where it was open for her to get to dry land. By this time Lord Bulkeley had come round to the Dairy Cate in the little Park ; the deer was so much done up : that Lord Bulkeley took her immediately. This deer had swam miles in the water bcfore She was taken. She was put in a place in the King's dairy yard, till the cart took her away.

OCT. 19.—1 n looking over an old publication, we lately met with a descrip tion of the battle of Queenston, from which we have extracted the following paragraph 44 General BRocx, the gallant conqueror of Detroit, has tened to the spot, and with the flank companies of the 49th regiment alone, for some time resisted the whole American force. This spirited conduct, fatal as it was to himself, was eminently serviceable to his country. It afforded time to Gene ral Sheaffe, the next in command, to assemble his troops, and make those arrangements which ultimately ensured victory.— General Brock fell like LEONIDAS, and doubtless, 7-e the Grecian hero, his name will ever live in the grateful remem brance of his country. So to fall is more glorious than his former triumph , it will be recorded on that monument, which the national gratitude will doubtless raise, not less to do him justice, than to incite others to similar efforts of heroic duty." The monument here alluded to has since been erected by England, " conformably to a vote of Parliament, as a perpetual record of the houour attaching to the name of BROCK." But while this just tribute has been paid to the worth of the deN'oted General in the Parent State, what has the Colony, in whose defence his life was sacrificed, done in honour of his memory ? Alas! his remains repose, not beneath the monument in Saint Paul's Cathedral, nor beneath any similar monument in this Province. To our um:peakable reproach . , they lie neglected in a corner of a crum bling fortress on our frontier. In the year 1815, it is true, the Legislature of this Province, enter taining a very estimable sense of the services of I that " truly illustrious Commander," who " after having atchieved the most splendid actions, de voted his most valuable life" in defending the soil of Canada against a very superior invading force, determined to - erect a monument to his memory, as a " public and lasting testimonial" of general respect and gratitude. One thousand pounds were voted, and placed at the disposal of three Commissioners, gentlemen of the highest respectability, yet though six years have elapsed since the appropriation, unexpected difficulties, of which we know not the precise nature, have hitherto prevented the intentions of the .Legis lature from being carried into effect. The Sa viour of Upper Canada, he who rescued us from the exterminating Republicans of the 'West, and rolled back the tide of invasion, lies in the fne:ui while unhonoured under the sod which his valour preserved. We do most fervently wish that our fellow-subjects may no longer have cause to blush for their monstrous ingratitude. We trust the reproach will be removed by the speedy erection of some " public and lasting testimonial" of our regard for the services and memory of our la mented Defender. Perhaps, in the present state of the Provincial Funds, it cannot be expected that the monument. will be immediately erected at the public expence, even on the supposition that the obstacles which have beset the path of the Commissioners were removed. We, there fore, with deference, suggest the propriety, and indeed, if we value our reputation, the necessity, of accomplishing the object by private subscrip tion. Let meetings be simultaneously called in every township or county, and subscriptions be collected from all persons disposed to contribute to the erection of a monument on Queenston _ heights, or any other fit place. Let the money so collected be applied in the manner contem plated by the Act of Parliament, and we venture to say the stigma now fixed on oar character would be most satisfactorily rem6ved. A monu ment thus raised by voluntary subscription would be far more honourable to the country than if erect ed by a vote of the Legislature, and, notw ;distant!. ing the pressure of the times, we may safely rely on the veneration in which the name of Uuocx is universally held, for most ample funds. To ensure success it is only necessary that men of zeal and of influence in the country should in terest themselves in the work. Sir Gro. QuEvirs, and the other officers of the oth Royal Hussars, are among the select invited to the evening parties at the Pavilion. His INIA- Jr.iTY honoured his favourite regiment by wear ing his elegant undress uniform at the consecra- tion of the Itoyal Chapel on New Year's Day. Letters from New York mention that Mr. WALLAck has had his leg amputated below the knee. ANECDOTE.—" In 1742, WILLIAM PULTENEY 7 who, a year before, had been the most violent and popular Patriot of modern times, had dwin dled into the Earl of Rill!. Sir ROBERT W . U.- PoLr, when forced to retire with the Peerage, had laid this trap for his antagonist, and the greedy Patriot fell into it. On their first meet- ing, after their respective mils up stairs, Lord 01IFORD said to Lord BATH', with a malicious good humour, ' My Lord, you and I are now the two most insignificant fellows in England.'" Box MOT.—In the same year Lord PAor.F.rr moved an Address to the KING not to visit his Electoral Dominions, and was made on the 2-ith April, but with so little approbation, that his motion was not seconded, nor his speech answered. Mr. LEGG c said pleasantly on this occasion, " Poor Lord PAuLr.TT has had a stroke of apo plexy, and has lost both speech arid motion." WITTY Cow.tun.—A French Marquis having received several blows with a stick, which he never thought of resenting, a friend asked him, " How he could reconcile it with his honour to suffer to pass without notice ?" " Poh !" replied the Marquis, " I never trouble my head with any thing that passes behind my back." On Tuesday mornin , " early, as the Dover mail coach was going down Bridge-hill, be tween Canterbury and Dover, the reins broke, and the horses, being then at liberty, ran on a bank close to the side of the road, by which means the coach was upset, . and the coachman and two guards thrown to some distance. The coachman and one of the guards (the - latter belonging to the foreign mail) were left at Bridge, so much hurt that they could not be moved. The guard belonging to the mail received but little injury ; he, with two passengers that were inside, and who escaped unhurt, proceeded to Doyer in another convey ance, '''''_l .

The bride, however, not easi ly baulked, found her way to the town by a circuitous route of several miles, while the bridegroom, who had taken a shorter path, was employed in dispensing pails full of water horn the windows, on the crowds around his door.
