vines can govern itself; and " hopes " that all Jamaica
governors are not tyrants. The Montreal Courier intimates
that Lord Cathcart has taken apartments in Donegana's Hotel,
and does not intend to return to England till spring. A
report was current that he would retain the etlice of Com-
seander-insChief. The ministerial arrangements were still
unsettled and unexplained : this state of affairs will probably
continue now till Lord Elgin's arrival. A boundaryi
controversy was wagiug between the newspapers of
New Brunswick and those of Canada. The arguments of
the former rest upon the same assumption• as did those of the
State of Maine in our national boundary controversy with the
United States; the latter adhere to the British claims. \ Vill
the concessions made to the Union by the Imperial Govern-
ment affect the relative elainis of the two British provinces,?
One of the United States geologi.sts, employed to expure the
upper region of Lake Superior, is reported to have passed
through Toronto. He spoke in high terms of the extent and
value of the mines on the British side of the lake, A reduc-
tion of tolls has been made on the Rideau canal. Lord
Cathcart has inlaid an order that no toll shall hereafter
• be exacted from emigrants forwarded at the cost of
government. The water was to be let into the Lachine canal
on the evening of the lith of September, and the navigation
was to be opened on the twentieth. The weather continued
-sem and genial for the advanced season : according to the
,‘„Nazette it almost appeared that the country had
,Wf ten degrees to the southward. Comparatively
few pollarrlts have been planted this season ; but an unpre-
cedented breadth of land was sown with maize, of which the
crops arc meat luxuriant. The Montreal Herald and deserts
were engaged in a controversy respecting protective &ries
and the navigation of inland waters. The general tone of
society in Canada at this moment appears to be practical and
tranquil.
CAUTION TO EMIORANTS.—The 2lfontreal Times of the
29th Aegu.t states that the hero of the thllowing trick upon
some niwispecting emigrants has been arrested ; his name
is John Keefe:
"The day before yesterday throe industrious emigrants, reeent'y
arched, were looking about fir work on the wharf, when they were
scoxted by u person who soon discovered their object, and uttering
to glee them a job, he directed each to pick up a tor of iron, and
follow him with it. They did as they were directed, and followed
bun through some streets, when, spying a police °Meer, their kind..
hearted employer thought it prudent to make himself scare as fast as
possible. 'The officer took them into custody, and being unable to
give any satisfactory aecount of themselves, took them and the pro-
perty to the police office. Here they met Captain Wiley, who, being
satisacsl of their entire innocence, liberated them, and the police have
since been in pursuit of the guilty party, to whose identity they have I
mane clue."
NEWS TOE THE CANADIAN NARlLET.—Yesterday, says
the Montreal Times, some wag caused the following hoax
to be printed, and posted up Et several corners of the
streets. It was very neatly " got up," and we corner,
suspeet that the printer who perpetrated it has had some
experience in the " extra " business. The bait took, and
crowds of lingerers swallowed the news as readily as could
I be desired. The marriage of Mr. O'Connell with the
Duchess of Kent, however, was too winch of a good thing,
sad prevented the joke from going down after the first feel-
ing of surprise had passed over :

THE BOMBAY OVERLAND MAIL—The evening

OF THE BARONESS McSKEItRY.—We have
to announce the death of the Baroness Alubkerry, wife of the
third Baron Iduskerrv, an Irish peer, which took place on
the 25th instant at Merrion-square, Dublin. The deceased,
Louisa Dorcas, was the second daughter of Henry Deane
O'Grady. Esq., of Lodge, county Limerick, and was married
to Lord khr.kerry in 1825, having had is.ue three sons. The
baroness was a most accomplished as well as a most hene-
trolent lady, and her death will be much deplored. In
numerous circle of the nobility and gentry both in England
and Ireland.

I _
TIIE I)EATH OF LORD 310UNT-SANDFORD took
place on Friday morning at Stowey, Somersetshire, at the
age of ninety years. The deceased, George Sandford,
Baron Mount-SUndford, of Castlerea, county Roscommon,
in the peerage of Ireland, was fourth son of Mr. Henry
Sandford, by the Hon. Sarah Moore, eldest daughter of
Stephen, first Viscount Mount-Cashel. Ile was burn 10th
of May, 17:6, and succeeded his,nephew, Henry, second
Lord, who was killed in a riot ut Windsor, on the 14th of
June, 1828. The late venerable peer was unmarried. His
brother, Henry Moore Sandford, was created a peer of Ire-
land in 1800, with remairuleri n default of-tratetissue to his
brothers and their male descendants. On the death of the
late lord's nephew, the title and family estates devolved on
the deceased. His lordship had retiredjrom public life for
a long series of years. He was formerin the army, and
subsequently represented Roscommon in Parliament. By
his lordship's death the title becomes extinct, and the estates
of his lordship in Ireland revert, we believe, to his nieces,
Mrs. Wills, and Mrs. Pakenham, the wife of the hon. and
venerable Archdeacon Pakenham.
