XTEW.TRANSLATIQN OF THE BIBLE.

ness among fneti,,.to re-aisume the ill-deputed care of their
religion into.thet own hands."—Areopagetica : Milton.
Were a pfaiir unlettered man, but endowed with com-
mon sinse,:and a certain quantum of observation and of
reflection, to read over attentively the four Gospels, and
the Acts'of the Apostles, without any note or comment, 'I
hugelY doubt whether it would enter into his ears to hear,
his eyes to see, or his heart to conceive, the purport of
many ideas signified by many words ending in ism, which
nevertheless have cost Christendom rivers of ink and
oceans of blood, "—C CC C LL
" The schisms in the Church of Christ are deeply to
be lamented, on many accounts, by those who have any
regard for all that is valuable and worth preserving amongst
men ; and although we are willing to hope and believe
with Paley, that#te rent has not reached the foundation,
yet are these !digerences (though n in 'essentials) most
particularly to He iiiimented, because they prevent the full
extension of the glorious light of the Gospel throughout
the world. The differences amongst ourselves, furnish
those whom we would attempt to convert with this plausi-
ble, and to them, I fear, unanswerable argument—with what
face can you Christians attempt to make us converts to
your faith, when you have not yet decided amongst your-
selves what Christianity is? Surely it will be time enough
to make proselytes of others when you yourselves are
agreed."
Lacon ; or Many Things in Few Words ; addressed to
"fewer persons"—those who think.
" The devotional austerity exhibited in the Monastery
of La Trappe, as in many others, would be unaccountable,
if ages of experience did not teach us that enthusiasm in
!natters' of religion is as much a disease of the mind as
fever and atrophy are diseases of the budy. The gloom of
the modern Methodists is of the same cast, but there is
method in their madness. There is a mixture of cunning
and hypocrisy in the character of the majority, which those
who mix with them soon detect, and the progress of know-
ledge among the common people at home has driven them
to foreign missions, where ignorance has a better field for
imposture."
The Editor's notice of Lady Wortley Montague's Let-

ters.— The Guide, No. 47.
" The greatest curse which ever lighted on the earth
never produced consequences more deplorable than have
been produced by the doctrines of Calvinism. The worst
contagion that ever withered the energy, and bowed the
strength of the human frame, is not to be compared with
the prostration of mental vigour, and of moral integrity,
produced by the infection of that cant and self-wide and
fanaticism which is making such rapid strides amongst
us."—Editor.

" If all circumstances," says the authoress, " left it as
matter of doubt whether Evangelical influence, as it is
impiously called, were productive of evil, the terrible
power which it is so constantly seen to have of destroying
family union, must be quite sufficient to settle the question.
Any person who will take the trouble to inquire into the
fact, will find that family affection has been more blighted
and destroyed by the workings of this fearful superstition
than by any other cause of which the testimony of man
bears record."

" One circumstance admits of no dispute, that there

tion of the Scriptures."
" The Unitarians have not only stripped religion of
every doctrine, to the discovery of which the light of Re-
velation was required, and reduced the whole to a belief
in a Supreme Being, and to a mere system of ethics,
but have given such an indefensible interpretation of the
Scriptures as renders the sense of the Sacred Writing to
be inexplicable, and completely overturns the whole scheme
of God's providential operations."

" I feel myself, as a minister of the Church of Christ,
justified in guarding against what appear to me to be the
consequences, naturally and evidently resulting from that
heterogeneous association of religious professors, for the
advancement of an object of at least questionable expe-
diency ; in the Bible being regarded as the general Text
Book of authority for all opinions ; as containing, if we
may so say, a sort of raw material, which every professor,
in the liberal spirit of the day, is left to work up and fashion
to his own peculiar taste; as if, by a strange transposition
of the sacred language, diversity of opinion, not unity of
spirit,' was to become the bond of peace.' ''

the unbeliever, under the Christian dispensation, does
more ; for on the admission that the New Testament con-

denying the record which God has therein giien of his
Son ; which record, in the plain language of the inspired
Baptist runs thus; that Jesus was the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the world.'"—John i., 29.

A Series of Discourses, in which it is urged that the
great Christian duty of maintaining Communion with the
Apostolical Church remains uncancelled by the tolerance
of British Laws. By Edward Davis, Rector of Bishopston,
in the Diocese of St. David's. .
But, it will be said, The Pope's authority has been
achnoudedyed. This is admitted. The usurper may take
the city by surprise, and the citizens may be compelled, for
a short time, to bow to his power. But he is not, there-
fore, the lawful governor. His act is an act of rebellion.

His expulsion is always lawful; for the Prince of the Cove-
nant, to whom our ultimate allegiance is due, still remains
amongst us. Under his glorious banner the usurper has
been expelled. And, together with his claim of authority,
his unfounded doctrines have justly been rejected; for a
solemn anathema is pronounced upon any man who shall
presume to teach any other Gospel than that which the
Church of Christ did receive, as taught by his Apostles.
And from the operation of this sentence the Pope and his
councils can plead no exemption."
"The Spirit of God in the Gospel enjoins the profession
of one immutable faith, the admission of one consistent
form of doctrine, and the observance of one orderly system

of discipline. Truth is still invariable. It is, therefore,
impossible the Spirit of Truth should at present teach a
diversity of faiths, a variety of doctrinal systems, and an
immunity from the laws of good order."
" It cannot, then, be maintained that in our days, and
without any degree of evidence, the same Spirit should con-
tradict itself, abrogate the laws of the Gospel, dissolve the
union of the Church, and authorise unlimited separation."
—Sermon V. on the Unity of the Church, p. 105.
Upon the whole, then, it appears, from a due conside-
ration of the precepts of our Lord himself and his Apostles,
compared with their example and practice, that Christian
charity is not a principle which disposes us to please upon
all occasions—to sacrifice conscience and integrity at the
altar of peace—to accommodate, or even to countenance,
disorder in the nominal professors of our religion."—P.
196, Sermon IX. On the Sin of Separation.
" It is not easy to conceive how the kingdoms of this
world can become the kingdom of Christ, unless they-be
governed by the principles of his Gospel, and committed
to the administration of Princes who shall advance the pros-
perity of the Church."
" Here all ranks are subjected to one common rule of
mutual dependance and co-operation."
" The language of the Gospel is simple and intelligible.
It enjoins unity, harmony, and co-operation amongst all the
members of the Church of Christ, whether they be civil
or spiritual officers, whether they be nobles or peasants.'
—P. 360, Extracts.
" About that time (three hundred years after Christ

there sprang up a heresy of a people called Arians—from
one Arius, the leader of them. These denied our Saviour
to be God, although they allowed all the rest of the Gos-
pel, wherein they were more sincere than their followers
among ua. Thus the Christian world was divided into two
parts, till at length the Arians were condemned in a ge-
neral Council, and a creed formed from the true faith, as
Saint Athanasius hath settled it.
On the Trinity. By Dr. Swift.
" I must therefore be so bold to affirm that the method
taken by many of those learned men to defend tho doc-
trine of the Trinity hath been founded upon a mistake.
" It must be allowed that every man is bound to follow
the rules and directions of that measure of reason which
God hath given him ; and indeed he cannot do otherwise if
he will be sincere or act like a man. For instance, if I should
be commanded by an angel from heaven to believe it is
midnight at noonday, yet I could not believe him. So if
I were directly told in Scripture that Three are One, and
one in three, I could not conceive or believe it in the na-
tural common sense of that expression.
" I see it plainly declared in Scripture that there is but
' My Lord and my
one God ; and yet I find our Savionr claiming the Pero-
gative of God in knowing men's thoughts; in saying, He
and his Father are one. I read, that the Disciples wor-

s God, with and the Werddl
the Beginning was

was God. From these several texts, it is plain that God
commands us to believe there is an union, and there is a
distinction; but what that union, or what that distinction
is, all mankind are equally ignorant, and must continue
so, at least till the Day of Judgment, or without some new
Revelation.
" Therefore, I shall again repeat the doctrine of the
Trinity, as it is positively affirmed in Scripture, That God
is there expressed in three different names, as Father, as
Son, and as Holy Ghost; that each of these is God, and
that there is but one God. But this Union and Distinction
are a mystery utterly unknown to mankind.
" For which reason I have endeavoured to put this Doc-
trine upon a certain and' sure foot, levelled to the meanest
understanding ; by which we may, as the Apostle directs,
be ready always to give an answer to every man that ask-
eth us a reason of the Hope that is in us, with meekness
and fear."—Extracts.

" When the Latin was a living language, the word per-

sone was understood to mean the qualities of the mind, as
constituting a character, either good or bad ; but it has so
far degenerated into tangible materiality, that, instead of
being used as anciently, to signify a character, office, or
personal qualities, it is applied to mean the material body
of man. That it was originally applied to signify personal
qualities, particular constitution of the mind, a character,
or office, is confirmed by the following authorities
Sustineo unus tres personas, meam adversari judices, Cie.
Persona tragica. Phxdr. Eripitur persona, manet res.
Lucr. Magistratus, gerit personam civitatis, Plan 100.
Ad tuendam personam magistratus, de Or. 169. From
which it appears that the word persona, in ancient Latin-
ity, meant a character, and not literally a person, in which
sense it is now commonly understood."

ven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of

saying, All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
—The Omnipotence of Christ.
Matt. ix. 4..—And Jesus, knowing their thoughts said,
Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts.—TheOmniscience
of Christ.
This Scriptural definition of the Divine Trinity in the
Supreme Being, will perfectly agree with that copy of the
genuine faith of the apostolic churches, which is called the
Athanasian Creed: It becomes plain to the meanest ca-
pacity, that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity
in Unity; neither Confounding the persons, nor dividing
the substance. For there is one character of the Father,
another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit. But
the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit, is all one, the glory equal, the majesty co•eternal.
The Father uncreate, the Son .uncreate, and the Holy
Spirit uncreate.
A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Todd's , Vindication of our
Translation and Translators of the Bible. By Sir James
Bland Burgess, Bart. 1820.
"Of all the crafty inventions of the Devil-to mislead and
seduce mankind, this perversion (Unitarianism) of the
Holy Scriptures is the most efficacious: it is rearing the
standard of falsehood 'against the revslatkni of.. Heaven ;
it is overthrowing the altar* 'of the Most High,' and 'wor-
shipping the 'neaten calves of 'our own aettl?ig up; it is
poisoning the fount of truth, and convecting Its pure and
sacred streams into corruption and death."

*E§'TNLINSTER COURT OF
REQUESTS.

It is not always by squalid exterior that poverty and
privation are indicated. A silk dress as often covers
as much real destitution as the beggar's rags. Nay, the
first has the most to endure, and is most worthy of
pity ; for the cadger, if he' can secure as much broken
victuals as will sustain existence, and obtain the un•

disturbed possession of a bulk for his nightly rest, re-
pines little, if at all, at his condition ; while the " gen-
teel? poor, on the other hand, has not only existence
to support, but also statiodin society to maintain. The
footsteps of famine .are occaiiooally to be found im-
pressed more indelibly on the lineaments of one that
may be seen buttoned up in superfine broad cloth, than
upon the countenances of those to whom misery has
always been an inseparable bedfellow.
A rotund, full-priced baker, who brings his weekly
batch of miserable debtors to this Court—bakers are
not, generally speaking, celebrated for benevolence,
especially Scotch bakers—stepped into the plaintiff's
box, papers and ledger in hand, to make good his claim
to 2.55. for bread supplied to a Mr. John Howard.

A tall young woman, wearing a handsome fur man-
tilla, and evidently careful to exhibit the externals of
gentiiity, presented herself to arts%cr the demand. Her
age might he either 18 or 28—the hollow cheek and
spare form, produced by early sorrow or privation, or
both—prevented a closer approximation to the truth.

A COMMISSIONER—Is the amount disputed ?
Young Lady—Certainly not. I hare only to say, on
the part of my father, that he sincerely regrets his in-
ability to settle the account at once.
CHAIRMAN—How will he pay it?
Young Lady—l have ss. to offer now, and my father
wishes to have the indulgence of paying the rest at
half-a crown a-week.

COMMISSIONER—The bill is for bread, and it has
been standing for some time. Judging from your ap-
pearance, I should think your father cannot be in such
circumstances as to make it difficult to procure the few
shillings left unpaid on this bill.
Young Lady—Appearances are often deceitful. It
is equally distressing to my father and myself to ask for
even one day ; but unexpected sickness in our family
has totally exhausted our little means.
Baker (pocketing the money)—Twa and saxpence
a week is not eneugh. Ye gang about toon wi a gran
boa, and a fine silk dress, while my wife maun wear a
plaid shawl and cotton goon, because the likes o' ye
will eat an honest man's bread wi'oot paying for't. That
fine tippet ye hae gotten on maun hae cost, may be, sax
Bowden guineas.
" It is true," said the young lady, colouring, " my
dress may appear rather extravagant, and if I could
with prudence dress at less cost I would do so ; but
upon a respectable exterior, on my part, as a teacher of
music, depends the subsistence of a sick father and two
young sisters. (The baker shut his book abruptly, and
thrust his papers into Ilia pocket.) As for the boa you
allude to, that was pledged this morning to raise a few
shillings to pay you the sum you have just received, and
to provide food for those who have tasted little else
beyond dry bread for the last week. The tippet I have
on was kindly lent me by my landlady, as the day is wet
and cold."
" Well, Mr. Baker," said the Chairman in a tone of
compassion, " perhaps you will agree to the young lady's
terms ?"
" Oh, aye," said the baker, " twa and saxpence a
month. Pit it down, if you.wull."
CHAIRMAN—TWO and sixpence a week was offered.
Mak it just what ye like," said the baker.
The order was made and handed to the young lady.
As she was leaving the court the baker stopped her.
" Gie me haud o' that bit paper," said the baker.
The request was complied with.
Noo," said the baker, thrusting some silver into
her hand, " tak back yer croon piece, and dinna fash
yoursel at a' wi' the weekly payment. Ye shall hae a
four pund loaf ilka day at my shop, and ye may pay
me just when ye're able, and if I nivir git the siller may
be I'll no miss it ; but mind, young leddy," said he an-
grily, " gin ye deal wi' ony ither baker l'se pit this
order in force agin yere father."
The young lady looked her gratitude—the baker
had vanished.
ORTHOGRAPHICAL RECREATION.—One Mr. Jona-
than Warder, a small-ware merchant, somewhere about
the unexplored locality of Barbican, appeared to sho
cause against the payment of two guineas, for what,
according to the plaintiff's orthography, appeared to be
" A reel jina win chany waws."
" Pray'," said the CHAIRMAN, " what is meant by a
waws?"
" Vy, don't you know ?" said the plaintiff. " It's a
chant' hornarnent vot you sticks over your chimbly-

piece:-
oh ! I understand," said the COMMISSIONER ;
" you mean a china vase. Does the defendant admit
the debt ?" •
Defendant—I really must say, gentlemen, that I deny
in fiito ever having bought the " wace." What should
I do with such a wace in my drawing-room.? Really its
a total mistake.
" Can you explain this, Mr. Cheedle ?" asked the
" This here good gentleman," said the plaintiff, "seed
me vith this here wallyerble waws, and says he, MY
wife,' says he, is a reglar wirtuous-soso in sitch parti-
cles, and so votever it costes, you send it to my house
in Barbican, and I'll pay you for it.' "
" I take upon my sacred honour to say," said the

defendant, " that I never had conversation with man or
woman about the wacc." _

" Don't go for to say that there," said the plaintiff
warmly, " warnt you in the Man in the Moon, taking
a drain with a friend, when I brought in this here waws ?
Did not your friend say as the bird a top of the ball
vos the most naturalest thing in natur ?"
Defendant—No.
Plaintiff—And didn't you and your friend lay pots of
half-and-half all round, that nobody know'd how to spell
the name of this here chany ornament ? Warnt there
a dispute as to whether the vord begun with awe or a
double u?

Defendant—l deny it.
Plaintiff—(With increased warmth)—Didn't a gen-
tleman say the right vay vos, we-a-s-e, and didn't ve all
on us give it agin him, cause ye know'd it vas wrong ?
And yen I von the bet, and spelt it " waws," didn't you
say as bow that " waws" was plural, and that it ought
to be called ony a" waw ?"

CHAIRMAN—You must recollect if anything of the
sort occurred.
Defendant—l have a faint recollection.

CHAIRMAN—What was the extent of the damage to

Plaintiff—There vos a lovely bird that joggled both

golden legs, just as nateral as life ; that there vas

Defendant—lt was not done in my house. The wace
was put on my table. No one was allowed in the room
but my little boy ; there aint a better regulated boy in
the world ; lie didn't touch it, for I told him I'd knock
his head off if he went near its
CHAIRMAN—IS he here ?
Defendant—Oh, yes. Cothe here, Bobby.
Bobby, a little squeaking fiveryear&old prodigy, came
forward.
Defendant—Now then, tell these gentlir4fe whether
you touched the wace.
Boy (squeaking)—No, pa! I only 'just went to give
the poor little Dicky a bit of sugar, when the top
took and tumbled off.

" Oh, you did," said the defendant, looking rather
wolfish.

The BENCH were unanimous in.avvarding 10s. by way
of compensation for damages.
The defendant paid the money with the countenance
of a man who has just swallowed a dose of jalap.
As he went down the passage a loud squall betokened
the soundness of a cuff, which the "best. regulated
boy in the world" had, as the saying is, " all to his own
cheek."

UPPER CANADA, ITS TREAT-

MENT, AND ITS SUFFERINGS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The papers from Upper Canada begin to show
what are the opinions of the mass of the population
on the state of politics, party and personal. They
are' recovering from the imposition practised upon
them by Sir Francis Head; and, ,at their public
meetings boldly pronounce him to have been a
charlatai, and the source
,of. Tnueh of the late
animosity and confusion—his. true conduct is
coming to light, both as respects his communica-
tions with the Colonial-office and his conduct to-
wards the people of Upper'Cahada. It is now ad-
mitted by the Ministers who.made Head. a Baronet,
that they would have done better to have put him
iri.A)atrait waistcoat, and have prevented thesacts
he did and the evils he occasioned. But the
(Olopitil-office was ignorant of the evil conduct of
that man and of the-Mischief he was doing when
made
they him a Baronet of England, and pro-
moted7Allen M'Nabb to be a Knight-Sir Allen
M'Nabb—for a most violent outrage against the
United States in the seizure and destruction of the
Caroline steamer. The truth now comes out, and
it is to be hoped that the Government, who have
hitherto been in ignorance, or have perversely and
wickedly supported the misrule of Sir Francis Head
and others, will learn from the public meetings now
going on in the Canadas, the wants of the people,
and hasten to do justice to that ill-used and long
suffering people. The people of Upper Canada
have never demanded anything but a responsible
Government, and if we except the short•excitement of
M.Kenzie's unexpected and unpremeditated revolt,
occasioned, no doubt, by the sudden and ill-advised
revolt in Lower Canada, there never was in the
House of Assembly, orat any of their public meet-
ings, a desire expressed for separation from Eng-
land, but a demand for responsible government
against the oligarchy, or family clique, which has
so long ruled in Upper Canada, and had the run of
the Colonial-office.

It may be recollected that when a petition, com-
plaining of the shameful and unconstitutional
conduct of Sir Francis Head, in having packed
the Assembly by bribery and corruption, at the
general election in 1836, was presented to the
House of Commons by Mr. Hume, Sir George
Grey pretended to know nothing of the facts (which
every Canadia❑ public paper was full of). But he
sent the petition to Upper Canada, to be reported
on by a Committee of Tories of that packed House,
who denied the whole, and passed an Act to pro-
long the existence of the House of Assembly for
four years, against the wish of the people, as laid
in petitions before the British House of Commons.
The Colonial Office, instead of censuring Governor
Head for such conduct, praised him, and made him
a Baronet ; they sanctioned the four years extension
of their House of Assembly, to the disgrace of the

British Minister, and to the lamentable misrule of
Upper Canada. Lord Durham's Report afterwards
supported the complaints of the Canadians against
Head and Lo:d Glenelg ; and now, from one end
of Canada to another, both of these are charac-

terised very properly as the causes of the present
state of wretchedness, and of the measures which
have led to the present miserable condition of one
of the finest provinces of the empire. We annex
resolutions agreed to at a general meeting of the
Niagara district, and carried unanimously, to show
the present state of public opinion of that Province,
and to indicate what is wanting to restore to it
peace, and confidence, and prosperity. The first
resolution repudiates physical force, and pledges
the meeting to peace and order in their demand for
their political rights. The second resolution pro-
tests against the Act of the packed Tory House of
Assembly, under Governor Head, having, in
1836, prolonged their existence for four years,
against the existing law, which requires a dis-
solution in six months after the decease of
the Crown, and stating how by that act they
lost the confidence of the people. It is really
surprising to think that a reformed House of Com-
mons could quietly, whilst a large portion of them
were demanding a return to Triennial Parliaments,
permit so unconstitutional an Act as that of Head's
Assembly to continue. But on reference to the

debates h will be found that the complaint was
made by Mr. Hume on presenting a petition from
Upper Canada, and who moved for a copy of the
Bill ; but no other Member noticed Sir George
Grey's defence of that unconstitutional Act. The
3d Resolution expresses great regret that her Ma-
jesty's Ministers should have withdrawn the
introduced last Session for settling Canada, on the
recommendation, or rather on the protest, of the
Tory clique in Upper Canada against the Bill,
which Lord John Russell declared in the House of
Commons he had received, and would not, there-
fore, proceed with the Bill that Session. Lord J.
Russell was deceived, as he now must know, and
we hope he will no longer be the dupe of those few
oligarchs who have unfortunately so long had
the support of the Ministers of the Crown against
the people. The Resolution " expresses surprise
that her Majesty's Ministers, knowing as they
must that the present self-constituted House of
Assembly does not represent the people, should
have received any document emanating from them
as an authority upon which to form their decision."
And yet that was the kind of authority on which
else from the Tories

anything
in the House of Commons ; but when we look at
the divisions against the people of Canada, we are
indeed surprised at the Liberals who lend themselves
blindly to those unconstitutional proceedings. The
4th Resolution condemns the Bill brought in
Lord John Russell, " inasmuch as responsibility
in the local Executive Council is altogether ex-
eluded, and every other alteration therein contained
would prove a fallacy" ! !
'The fifth resolution approves of the leading prin-
ciples in Lord Durham's Report ; of the union of
the provinces, and a resronsiible Executive Coun-

We point the attention of our readers to this
as the essence and spirit of all the discontent in the
Canadas—the want of a responsible Executive: It
has been the demand of both provinces for twenty
years, the result of which has led to the destruction,
anarchy, and misery which have ensued ; and the
restoration of a responsible executive we have often
said, and now repeat, is what can alone restore
peace and harmony.
The seventh resolution very truly attributes the
anarchy and destruction which are now desolating
the fertile province of Lower Canada to the weak
and unprincipled acts of Sir Francis Head. This
is a slap at the Colonial Office, at the Minister of
the Crown, and at the House of Commons, who
have all praised and supported the weak and uncon-
stitutional acts of that madman ; and it must be
great consolation to the few sturdy advocates of li-
beral measures in the Canadas who, in the House of
Commons, denounced Sir Francis Head and Lord
Glenelg's conduct, to see the oppressed people in
Canada rise en masse and testify to the folly and
wickedness of the British Government in all their
past transactions. We would look forward and sae
to those who have hitherto supported Constitutional
and responsible Government in these provinces, go
on and persevere ; and we also say to Lord Johu
Russell, profit by his past follies, learn by the
misery and wretchedness he has produced in Ca-
nada to mend his course, and now grant the demands
of the people. Let him grant justice to Canada.
(From the St. Catherine's Journal.)
NIAGARA DISTRICT MEETING.
The great Durham meeting, held at Thorold, an
Saturday, the 14th September, came off in a manner
highly creditable to the inhabitants of the district, and
fully proves, that we neither underrated their prinj-
ples nor good sense. It has been estimated,by compe-
tent judges, and others who took much pains to as-
certain the numbers present, that about two thousand
persons were in attendance—nine out of ten of whom
were the real bone and sinew of the country—the
farmers.

John A. Ball, Esq., of tire township of Niagara,
was unanimously appointed chairman. Mr. Ball was
always a Conservative, before the appearance of Lord
Durham's Report ; is a native of the Province, and con-
nected with one of the oldest. most wealthy and re-
spectable fainilies in it. Dr. Porter. of Niagara, and
Jacoa Keefer, Esq., of Thorold, were chosen Secre-
taries.
The resolutions which follow, were read and com-
mented on, by the different speakers, in a calm and ar-
gumentative manner ; and it was pleasing to observe
that they were listened to with that deep and earnest
attention that cleany indicated that there was a spirit,
a resolution, and a feeling; becoming loyal and inde-
pendent freemen, who understood their duty and their
rights ; and would fearlessly perform the one and de-
fend the other.
The business of the meeting was conducted through-
out in the most orderly manner, not the least opposi-
tion was offered from any quarter,-nor did any thing oc-
cur to interrupt the general harmony and good feeling
that seemed to pervade the whole.
The petition which was read to the meeting is now
in course of general circulation through the district fer
signatures, and the number will tell what is the true
state of public opinion on the subject of a union of the
provinces, and responsible government (as understood
and practised in England,) in this district ; and if the
result does not show that " compact" government is at
a great discount, we can only say that the " signs of tke
times" horribly belie the reality.
At a general meeting of the inhabitants of the dis-
trict of Niagara, held at the village of Thorold, on the
14th day of September 1839, pursuant to notice, dated
at St. Catherine's, 31st August, 1839, and signed by
193 inhabitants, the following resolutions were adopted,
nem con.
Ist. Resolved—That this meeting having for its
object' the attainment of political rights by constitutional
means, repudiates a resort to physical force, as being
not only uncalled for by the exigency of the case, but
highly prejudicial to the cause of civil and religious
liberty in these provinces ; and that the individuals corA-
posing this meeting pledge themselves that in their re-
spective capacities they will endeavour by precept and
example to preserve peace and order, both now and at
all times.
"d. Resolved—That whereas the House of Asseni-
bly of this Province, elected in the year 1836, did,
in anticipation of the demise of the Crown, pass an un-
constitutional Act, that in the event of that contingency
occurring, they should continue in their seats for the
full period of four years :
_That from the passing of Ike
said Act, it is manifest, that it was the opinion of fiat
House (such, too, being the opinion of this meeting,)
that in case of the occurrence of the said contingency,
the said House would, according to constitutional usage
I be virtually dissolved, and that the representatives
would be bound to return to their constituents : The
the said contingency having occurred, they did, notwith-
standing, continue to hold their spats, and did thereby
forfeit, and have not, by any subsequent Act, regained
the confidence of the people.
3d. Resolved—That this meeting has heard with pain
and surpri,e, that her Majesty's Ministers have thought
it advisable to delay the settlement of the Canada
question, upon the ground, as stated by them, of
a strong protest adopted by, and transmitted
from the House of Assembly of this province—pain,
arising from the apprehension that the discontent and
dissatisfaction which have for some time prevailed will
be increased by delay ; and surprise, that her Majesty's
Ministers, knowing as they must that the present self-
constituted House of Assembly does not represent the
people, should have received any document emanating
from them, as a authority upon which to form their
decision.

4th. Resolved—That whereas tho draft of a Bill said
to have been laid before the House of Commons, by
Lord John Russell, having appeared in the public prints,
the purport of which is, the union of the provinces of
Upper and Lower Canada, and the introduction of
other alterations in the local administration of the said
provinces, it is the opinion of this meeting, that, inas-
much as responsibility in the Local Executive Council
being altogether. excluded from the said Bill, the pro-
posed alterations as regard municipal representative go-
vernment, and every other alteration therein contained,
would prove a fallacy.
sth. Resolved—That this meeting fully concurs in
the leading principles recommended in the Earl of Dur-
ham's Report—the union of the province!, and a respon-
sible Executive Council, for the management of our
local affairs.

6th. Resolved—That, in the opinion of this meeting
the inhabitants of this province do pot conceive that,
by being transplanted from Great Britain to Canada,
they become so debased, so degraded, so degenerated,
as to be disqualified from enjoying here, the rights and
priviliges which their fellow-subjects enjoy, in the parent
land.

7th. Resolved—That this meeting, casting a retro-
spective view upon the affairs of the province, for the
last two years, do come to the conclusion that the
anarchy and distraction which are now desolating this
fertile land, although mainly attributable to the vicious

system inherent in the local government, have been hur-
ried on by the weak and unprincipled acts of Sir F.
Head.
Bth. Resolved—That when Lord Durham, the ap-

pointee of the Queen, came as High Commissioner to
thes! provinces, he was received with that respect
which was due to his high station ; and such
confidence had the people of this province, in the ap,
pointment of a Nobleman of such eminont talents and
integrity, that they resolved at the outset, to submit U.
his decision : That they have since had no reason to
regret their determination on that : That this
meeting cannot thcre!me, but express their regret and
indignation at perceiving that the whole mission was a
mockery and delusion.
Reiolved—That a petition to the Queen, based on
the foregoing resolutions, be prepared and transmitted
to Lord Durham, for presentation ; and
that m
a Con
nuittee be appointed to carry this resolution into effect,
with power to add to their number, and make arrange_
ments with the several townships in the district, for
respective
m e founded
on ;
that purpose, and to adopt such other measures con-
nected therewith, as they may deem expedient.

EFFECT OF MONOPOLY.

Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar
in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of
Forei Sugars :

London, November 1, 1839.
The Gazette of this evening will quote the Per Cwt.
average price of British Plantation Mus-
covadr. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at
Tho actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the
inorters, in th.e. week ending the 29th October, accord-
i-ag to the returns made upon oath by the West India
Sugar Brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parlia-
ment, and on which qaactity the above price is computed,
eon9isted of 1,190 hhds. 71 tierces, and 61 barrels.
The high price of West India Sugar, has had the
good effect of dispelling a prejudice which has operated
on the public mind against the use of East India Su-
gar. The fancy that sugars grown in the East, do not
contain so much saccharine matter as those pro-
duced in the West Indies, is altogether removed. They
aro now consumed in large quantities, mixed with
Mauritius Sugar—the latter giving them that appear-
.
nce of chrystal which, from their whiteness and fine-
ess,pf grain they need—this circumstance had led to a
ufcb larger consumption of East Indian Sugars through-
I ut 1839, than they have hitherto commanded—and
;,. 'mom the information we have received from eminent
grocers, we are inclined to believe that the consump-
fion of them wiil be much extended, and that they and
1 Mauritius Sugars will abundantly supply any deficiency
which may accrue from the bad management of the
i • 'West India Plaoters.

Tly ISCfgar refineries working Foreign Sugar for expor-
tation only, have sold their produce this week, deduct-
ing the charges of shipping, as follows,
Refined Sugar, at 325. 6d, per cwt.
Bastard ditto... l Os.
Treacle ..... I:_s.
Tile Sugar refineries riorking West India Sugars for
home consumption base, deducting the duty, sold their
produaus follows, viz.—
Regned Sugar, similar in quality to the above, at 548.
per cwt.
Bastard ditto ditto ditto 365. per cwt.
Treacle, w'aich, when the produce of West India
Molasses is admi!tcd to home uze, duty free, at 325.
per cwt..

Tble Briti,h nation is therefore paying 21s. 6d, per
cot. more for refined sugar, 17s. per cwt. more fo.• bas-
tard sugar, and 19s. per cwt. more for treacle, than the
foroigners pay—all parties purchasing in the same mar-
ket sitars manufactured in London.
Foreign sugars raised by free labour have, during the
past week, been heavy of sale, and rnust be quoted at
6/1. per cwt. lower ; they are now 17s. 6d. per cwt. less
than the average price of West India sugar.
Th 9 prevalence of easterly winds prevents the arrival
1 of many sugar ships, which are known to be close at
i hand.

1 TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
ri Sir,—Per,:eiving you are a strong advocate for the
1 penny postase plan, I trust you will allow one equally
as anxiurse as yourself to make a few remarks in your
valuabir Paper, which I hope will cheek some of the
o'..s,Nelions that are made against it. From what I can
Iread, stamping seems to be the otter of the day, but
no one has ever attempted to make these stamps of any
real and beneficial utility. To make these stamps of
real benefit, to save more than one-half th
do away with the Post-office k.ccounts, fore destroupatcble, h
in
n sorting, and to make up in a gr, at measure the
deficiency
that may be caused in the revenue, I think you will
1
to attain these great
avow arc objects worth gaining ;
ends by a simple process, I would ll,ave the name of
every county er shire stamped on the. direction side,
the words Scotland and Ireland in the same manner ;
it would also add considerably co the facility of sorting
if large commercial towns,
h such as London, Birmin..-
m, Manchester &c. ha''a -each its own, and the word
foreign for all places not, it, t
sons would thefi hav' he United Kingdom ; per_

to do but to ask for a
stamp " for Londe 4," or any county to which the letter
was destined, the, 'sheets thus stamped (and which could
be done as easy. 'as newspapers are stamped at the cor-
ner) to be sold r.or twopence, thus pay ing for postage and
paper at the same time, this would be little more than a
penny for t'.ie postage, would amply pay for stamping, and
would ar.gow something handsome for those who had
the sP!,e of them, bring a considerable amount to the
rev',:nue, and would save all the unnecessary trouble Mr.
Cooper complains of, and, perhaps, had he but known
that it could be done by some such simple plan as this,
it might have saved him the trouble of writing his
pamphlet ; and I am sure he must confess there is no
difficulty to surmount or overcome. For him to say
that 499 letters out of every 500 ought to be paid by
the receivers is sheer nonsense. Had you, Mr. Edi-
tor, to pay in the same ratio for all communications
sent to your office, i: would be no joke in the long
run. By some such method as this your remarks of
Eiiday last would be fully verified ; and as for Mr.
Scneaton In the Dispatch, his halfper.oy Scheme at
each end is too ridicubus to be noticed. This is a
part of the plan I. have laid before Mr. Hill, which, if
carefully examined, cannot fail ta answer his purpose.
us well as the benefit of the country at large, and may
be carried on as easy as an,y other line of business.
As the plans have been e.etened, there can be no ob-
jection in me stating tits far, which must convince
the most sceptical th-'..c this great undertaking can be
wcrked by the most -,/mole means.—Your's, &e. T. P.
