Great uneasiness prevails that Government intend to lay a duty on Timber from these Colonies : if they do, it will annihilate the trade, and do irreparable mischief—but more so to the English Ship-owners than ourselves. What a fa tality attaches to these Loyal Colonies. If they are not en titled to more consideration from Ministers, surely the hit , portvce of the.trade, as a great•nursery for Seanielf,TOtight not to be overlooked or disregarded. THE AMERICAN CANAL. (From " The Quebec Gazette.") " The following article is copied from the Al bany Gazette and Daily Advertiser, of the 9th inst. • Albany, Oct. 9. ' One very strong argument which has been repeatedly urged in favour of the immediate con struction of the Great Western Canal, is, the cer tainty, that unless we take prompt and efficient measures to secure the trade of the western part of this State, and to bring the, produce of that vast and fertile region, which is now so rapidly populating, to our market, we shall ultimately lose the whole;—because, when the trade becomes completely turned down the St. Lawrence to Montreal and Quebec, it will be out of our power There is no soil, perhaps, in Oct. 7.—Brig Rambler, Tendale, sailed sth August from ever to regain it.

The Ca nal completed. and the whole of this produce will be secured to the * markets of Albany and New York. Owing to the difficulty and tardiness of transportation from, /itifialo and Canandaigua to Albany, the greater part of the. western pro,ditee is now sent to Montreal market. It is a fact, that, between the Ist day of May, and the Ist of Ati;-f . gust, a space of three months only, a single carry ing house in Ogdensbuigh transported from that place to Montreal the enormous quantity of forty thousand barrels of - flour ! This fact, of itself, speaks volumes _in favour of the canal.' " The Canal in question is actually begun and speedily completing.—We cannot blame the Ame ricans for attending to their interests : on the con trary, exertions which tend to incre4se the facili ties of mankind for exchanging the produce of their industry, and thereby contribute to the ge neral advantage, will ultimately obtain, as they deserve, general praiie. Those who choose to live in indoleuccorignoranee may complain ; but they will have tfkiir complaints for their pains; with poretty they. will have weakness, with weak ness, contempt. Measures have been suggested, steps have been taken, to enable THIS PROVINCE to enter into the noble Odd of competition with the Atlantic . Americans for the commerce of the Western countries. What has been done we know not : what might, be done, we conceive, is consi derable. Nature has favoured us. It we do not avail ourselves of her bounty, we shall have onr• selves to blame : we shall also have our reward," (Front the Qa,bec Casette.)

What an opening for the EXPORT of British Ma nufactures do these vast and rapidly populating Regions afford, if encouragement is given to the King's Colonies !—At present, upwards of 1200 sail of ships are employed in the timber trade from. thence, and their numbers would increase, if a .sound and generous policy were adopted towards them ; so that, in addition to the incease of the .• Tonnage of the• country, would an increase of our Exports take place; and the whole of the operation in shipping and cargoes being British, the profit resulting froin them would centre at home, and increase the. trading capital of the Em pire, whilSt it gave cmployment to thousands of our fellow citizens.

Ro COMMON COUNCIL. The LORD Mayos proceeded fro.m•the House to the Guildhall yesterday in stat e , attend ed by the Sheriffs, to hold the, first Conrt of COM won Council in his Mayoralty, which was nume rously attended. . . THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. His Lordship, u pOn ta ki ng his seat, addressed the Court as usual, after which, Mr. SAMUEL DIXON and Mr. 3AiIES DAVIES made some obier-• vations upon the recent melancholy occurrence of the decease of her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA; and being. severally desir ous to submit some Mode of proceeding thereon, The Minutes of the last 'Court were then read, and the LORD MAYOR called upon' Mr. Dixon, 'as beir4: the hist who addreSsed the Court upon the - occasion. He, after some preliminary observa tions expressive of the deepest regret at the univer sally lamented event, moved a Resolution for Cnnimittee to be appointed, consisting of all the Aldermen present and a Commoner from each Ward, to consider of the most proper mode to be adopted by the Court. . . He was followed by Mr. DAVIBI, who, after _paying many complirnews to the deceased, WhoSe domestic - habits made her a pattern for her sex, concluded - a speech of considerable length, by sikb witting as an Amendment, several Resolutions . . which he had prepared, and which, if agreed to, .he.prnpused for the Lord Mayor, in the most re spectful manner, to transmit copies to the Prince Rege - rir, tlre Queen, and Priuce Leopold. Mr. AVAITItst AN then addressed the Court against the proposed amendment, and.read the draft of a Resolution which l►e had prepared for the consi deration of the Court .upon so lamentable an event. - Mr. Deputy JACKS, UV. FAVELL, and several other Members, then addressed the Court, •and and it was finally agreed to appoint a Committee to consider of proper Resolutions, or otherwise, fo'r the Court td adopt thereon ; and the Cord mittee being appointed accordingly, immediately withdrew, and, atter being absent a considerable time, returned and presented a draft of a Resolu tion, which was unanimously agreed to, ordered to be signed by the Town Clerk, and published in all the Papers. • Mr. Deputy VALLANCE then moved a Resolu . Lion of Thanks to the late Lord Mayor, which, after some obervations frrim Mr. Dixon, who ob jected to the latter part, was agreed to by a con siderable majority On a spew of hands, and order ed to he ornamentally written , on velluni, signed by the Town Clerk, framed and glazed, and pre sented to his Lordship. A motion was made for the usual present of a purse of Fifty Guineas to the Chaplain of the late Lord Mayor ; and after •some observations from Messrs. Waithman,,Dixon, and Davies, the same was negatived. BIBLE ASSOCIATIONS. St. Clement Danes, St. 'Mary-le-Strand, and the Savoy Bible Lissociation, and Ladies' St Clement Danes Bible .dssociation. , • The General Anniversary Meeting Of this ASSO• elation, which was to have taken place on the 13th inst..but postponed in consequence of the lamented death of t ier R o y a l Highness the Prin cess Charlotte, took place last evening ; The Rev. W. GURNEY, M. A. President, in the Chair. The Rev. President rose to state the object of the Meeting, which lie briefly said had connected within the we lf are o f t h e sou l as - Well as the bodies of mew—and he had pleasure iri address- ing them, for he considered they were as a little family on earth, met together to see what good could be done, through the . Bible Asso ciation, for the souls of their' fellow-crea tures--,and.he was' site the minds of his au dience would he properly kmpressed, while he viewed in so large an assembly, not only external mourning—for he was sure that was not' all—but in every countenance, in all companies was to be traced that sympathetic feeling, which recent cir cunistances were so .calculated to inspire. But amidst all our afflictions, under every sorrow, there was in the Bible all that was calculated to do us good in time, and\make us happy in an eternal world. The Report was then read by Mr. Yonte, .the Secretary, and secondekl by the Rev. Dr. Winter, which stated that 1481. ss. 61-d. had been received, and applied to the objects of the AttsOciation. The Rev. Dr. COLLYER proposed a vote of thanks to the Rev. Wm. Gurney, M.A. President, which was carrieil unanimously. 'The Hon. Lady Wilson, Patroness, and Mrs. Gurney, President of the Ladies' Association, the Rev. Wm. Morgan, the Re*. Dr. Steinktipfl, and the Rev. Mr. Innis, who is just Teturned from witnessing the effects of Bible Associations in -Raisia, spoke on the occasion--at the close of which-a collection was made. THE' THEATRE.—The Comic Opera of The Duenna was represented last night at Drnry-Lane Theatre, and Miss By RN2, for the first time, per formed the part of Clara. We have before ob served that this young Lady improves in acting as well as singing, and her performance last night by no means tended to alter • our opinion. Her " Adieu thou dreary Pile," a song that demands great executive power, was given with so much success as to.draw forth an unanimous - eneore. - 'h is, perhaps, somewhat impolitic in the Managers to bring forward this Opera, as its dramatic merits_ throw all modern .pieces of the same kind into comparative insignificance, onless,indeed, to bold forth an example to the present race of Play wrights of force and variety of characters, brik liancy and humour in dialogue; and lyric merits of no ordinary description; ROYAL ACADRMY.-Mr. CARLISLR fast night de livered his second Lecture at the Royal Academy, on the. principles of Anatomy, as applicable to Painting. The Learned Professor explained from the skeleton the nature and Die of the several parts of the human frame which it is necessary for the Student in Art to understand in his professional studics. BRISTM", Nov. 25. On Stinday, the 16r it inst. die ancient Parit Church of St. James, in this City, presented a tru mournful appearance, the whole of its exteirsh galleries; which reach round three sides of tL Church, with the pulpit, reading-desk, churci wardens', and 'minister's seat, being covered wit black cloth, and its congr.ef.ation c ad in ver deep mourning. In alluding to the aw f u l e ven t which roll d fu this mournful display, the Rev. T. T. BIDDU LPFr Minister of the - Parish„ introduced the followini beautiful passage, which is so much in unison with the sentiments always .to be found in you excellent Paper, that 1 am induced to hope it ma: obtain a place in one of your columns. In applying the doctrine of the Text, Psalm 97 2. to our present national circumstances, tire tul. lowing observation occurred ; " How mysterious is the dispensation which has clad this congregation, and every congrega• tion in the hmpire, • in the garb of sorrow,—oi sorrow as unfeigned as was ever produced by a milar loss. Onr prospects were bright, our hope' were sanguine, and who Call wonder that they .were so. The moral and religious part of the nation united with the loyal politician in turning their eyes towards Claremont, there they saw an example of connubial happiness seldom round in the higher circles, and not exceeded in the mid dle ranks•of lite. This they considered, and just ly, as a matter of vast-importance to morality and religion. They had previously appreciated the .value of the example set by the venerated Grand father of their beloved Princess. They saw a mo ral, ajeligiotis atmosphere, produced within anti around the walls of Claremont, which, like the etherial expansion, they expected to spread to it e utmost limits'of the political system, Their views • were:elosely connected with the glory of God and the good of man. And who would not have ex pected that such views would have been realized by Him,' by whoth Kings reign dent Princes de cree justice. But "clouds and darkness are round about Him, while righteousness and judgment are the habitation of His throne.' To attempt an explanation of the unexplained mysteries, whe ther of Providence or of Redemption, is not our province. Instead, therefore, of diving by con jecture into futurity, let us rather consider what 's our present duty tinder this afflictive dispel'. sat ion On Sunday last the ReV.CHARLESEDWA STEW. ART, Rector of Wakes Colne, in Essex, preached a Sermon there on the death of our universally be loved and lamented Princess. The text was taken from the 20th chapter of the first book of Samu e l and the lett e r part of the 3d terse :—" Truly as the Lord live( h, and as thy soul livetb, there is but.a step between me and dek:th ;" and this was the conclusion- of his discourse, " Let us all, my brethren, with one accord, offer up frequent and fervent prayers to Almighty God, humbly beseech ing him,of his infinite mercy and goodness to pour the balm • of religious comfort into the bosom of her afflicted husband, and to restore to him the Messirigs of health and peace and tranquillity of .mind; and. earnestly imploring him to look from heaven with pity and compasSiOn upon the anguish of a father bereaved of hii only child, and- hope less of a, future progeny, and not to suffer his grey hairs to. go down with aorrow to the grave." • SPORTI NG,. Newmarket Coursing Meeting is this year un usually througed nit() company: on Monday it was computed that no less _ than eight hundred horsemen were in the field, together with near ly the like number of pedestrians and persons in carriages ; indeed, when it be considered that the situation for the diversion of coursing is as fine as any in England, together with the asStmblage and exertions-of the fleetest and most choice greyhounds in the kingdom, it could not fail the altractiOn and .admiration it possessed.
