PARLIAMENTARY REGISTER OF THE PROVINCE
OF LOWER CANADA.
T is proposed to publish by Subscription, un-
I der the above title, the PROCEEDINGS of the HOUSE
of ASSEMBLY, to be continued annually.
The importance and propriety of their Constituents being ac-
quainted with the nature and result of their deliberations, ap-
pears to have been felt by the Members ; as, early in the last
Session, (26th December), the House of Assembly appointed a
Special Committee " to inquire into the most Parliamentary
manner of making known the proceedings of this House to the
inhabitants of this Province."

Deference to the House of Assembly induced the Subscriber,
under these circumstances, to postpone the publication of the
" Register," (for which he had issued a Prospectus,) under the
expectation of an early Report from the Committee. The Ses-
sion, it is well known, terminated without any communication
being made by the Committee to the House, and, as in the Pa-
rent Country, this mode is adopted to disseminate the proceed-
ings of both Houses of Parliament, it is presumed it cannot be
unparliamentary or unconstitutional. The following Prospec-
tus is therefore respectfully submitted to the public.
The Subscriber will constantly attend the House of Assem-
bly during the whole Session, from the moment the doors are
open to the public till they are closed, or the House adjourns ;
and,uninfluenced by prejudice against or partiality for any party,
he will, to the -utmost of his abilities, faithfully report every
thing interesting 'or important which may occur. As to capa.
city for executing the task he proposes to undertake, he refrains
from speaking, for standing already before the tribunal of the
public as a Stenographer, they are fully competent to pass a
correct judgment; but he may be permitted to assure them
that, totally exempt from political bias, the little talent he is
capable of exercising shall be strenuously exerted to render
the Parliamentary*Register worthy of the patronage which he
respectfully solicits.
The Register will be published in royal fivo. upon fine paper,
and will be delivered to Subscribers as early after the close of
the Session as the Index and Appendix (which will contain all
Messages from his Excellency the Governor in Chief, such
Resolutions of the Legislative Council as may tend to elucidate
the proceedings of the Lower House, important Reports of
Committees, and whatever else can contribute to its utility and
value), can be prepared. In the interim, extended Reports of
the Debates, &c. shall be regularly furnished to the Public
Journals published at Quebec and Montreal, so that the Public
throughout the Province will be early and constantly informed
of the state of Parliamentary Business, and the opinions of their
Representatives.

TERMS.
The duration of the Session and the degree of patronage af-
forded to the Register must greatly regulate its price. It is
presumed that 12s. 6d. will be the cost, but the Reporter
pledges himself it shall not exceed 15s.

Qiiebee, Dec. 5, 1821. W. S. SIMPSON.
*.* W. S. S. intimates that he has in MSS. the entire pro-
ceedings of the last Session, being the first under the Reign of
his Majesty George IV., and of the Administration of his Ex-
cellency the Earl of Dalhousie. If adequate encouragement is
given, they will be published as Vol. I. of the Parliamentary
Register ; and as it is proposed to continue the work, it will
be complete from the commencement of his Majesty's Reign,
his Excellency's Administration, and also of the present Par-
liament.

TO MESSRS. BKOWELL AND CO.
London, Nov. 7, 1822.
GENT LEM EN,—On my Passage from
Shields to Jamaica, the latter end of last year, in
the Brig Temple, I bent a new Foresail, principally made of
CanVas prepared by your Anti-Mildew Process, and a new
Main-topsail and Jib, of the same maker, but unprepared.—
Our voyage was severe, and the Sails have suffered much in
consequence.—The Foresail has worn free of Mildew, except
in two parts, where the Canvas was unprepared, but the
Main-topsail and Jib arc much injured by the Mildew. The.
Foresail is more pliable, furls easier, and apparently dries
much quicker than the other Sails- made at the same time, so
that I am fully satisfied your Process is a complete preserva-
tive wherever it is used, and possesses other useful proper-
ties ; and I should wish it always to be used in any Vessel
where I may have the command.
JOI-IN WALKER, Master.
