THE CONQUEST OF CANADA. BY THE AVTDOE
OF " HOCHELAGA."—" This new work gives uselle
plete history of the settlement of North America,
byZhuati°:
the destruction of the French power by Wolfe,
i account
interesting account
middle
glurious victory, on the plains of Abraham,
of the last century. We have a most i
of the discovery military
operations which preceded
of ' Canada by the brave Jacques Cartier,
and uf its settlement b
Wolfe. In
the glory of that event, all the disasters to British
arms which its conquest by the French and the
had previously occurred in Canada, are for-
gotten. There can be little doubt in any
mind, that
but for the astounding daring of Wolfe, in leading his
army up
the faco of an almost inaccessible precipice, we
should never have possessed Canada. The very con-
quest of this colony, may perhaps have led to the loss
of the North American colonies, for no longer harassed
and kept in check by a neighbouring
_Hostile power, they
afterwards speedily developed themselves into a nation
strong enough to throw off its allegiance to the mother
country. Montcalm, in his last moments, indeed, pre-
dicted that such would be the effect of the defeat of the
French power in Canada. We cannot but pronounce
this work as the most complete yet given of the
struggles of the English and French for domination in
the New World; for the conquest of Canada not only
deprived France of a magniacent colony, but it destroyed
for ever her long-cherished project of hemming in the
English by tneans of her power on the north, her colonies
in the south, and her c:aims to supremacy over the un-
known wilds of th© west.".— Weekly Chronicle.

THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER.

Motion made, and Question put, " That this house, re-
cognizing the great principle that labour is the source of all
wealth, that the people are the only legitimate source of
power, that the labourer should be the first partaker of the
fruits of his own industry, that taxation without representa-
tion is tyranny, and should be resisted, and believing that the
resources of the Country
.would be best developed by laws
made by representatives chosen by the labouring classes in
conjunction with those who live by other industrial pursuits;
that (in recognition of the above great truths) this House
adopts the principles embodied in the document entitled The
People's Charter, namely, Annual Elections, Universal
Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, equal Electoral Districts, no Pro-
perty Qualification, and payment of Members." The House
