again broken out upon the South Western frontier with the
Indians.

filled with European extracts. They bring no news of any
importance.
The New Brunswick Papers state that it was the intention
of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, to recommend to
his Majesty's Government the relinquishment of the monies
received from those persons who were called upon, and paid
their quit rents. His Excellency has received instructions to
refund the same to the parties.
The Montreal Papers to the 7th June state that a rumour
prevailed at Quebec, of despatches being received recalling
Lord Gosford, and annulling the Royal Inquisitors. Sir John
Colborn was named as Lord Gosford's successor.
His Excellency Sir F. B. Head has commenced his pro.
raised tour through the Upper Province. The Niagara Re-
porter announces his arrival at Niagara, where he was well re-
ceived. A Committee of the inhabitants waited upon his
Excellency with an address. The following is his Excel-
lency's reply
.‘ The spirit of a free and loyal country is both invincible
and imperishable ; and hence it is that out of the ashes of the
old town of Niagara has arisen the same manly character which
always distinguised its inhabitants. Gentlemen—This is the
first moment of recreation which I have enjoyed since my ar-
rival in this province, and I trust that my arrival among you
may produce the effect of uniting people of all parties in a
determination to promote, hand in hand, the freedom and hap-
piness of Upper Canada."

OUTRAGE ON A CHILD.—On Saturday after-
noon, as a little girl, the daughter of Mr. Came, a respect-
able licensed victualler, in Vere-street, Clare-market, was
standing near her father's door, a boy who was running past,
struck the child on the arm with a sharp instrument, supposed
to be a penknife, inflicting a long and deep wound. Mrs.
Came hearing her scream violently, rushed to her assistance,
and was shocked to see her little favourite covered with
blood, proceeding from thp wound in her arm, and was in a
state or such extreme excitement at the occurrence as, in her
confusion, to allow the little ruffian to escape. We are happy
to be enabled to add that the poor child is doing well.
SUDDEN AND REMARKABLE DEATH. —On
Friday Mr. Fisher, inn-keeper, happened to be stung by two
bees in the face, and on going into the house complained that
he found his heart failing sadly, and strange pains shooting
from his head to the points of his fingers. He then laid himself
across the bed, and in ten minutes was a corpse.—lnverness

Courier.
CARDIFF FLOATING HARBOUR.—This im-
portant undertaking is now rapidly progressing. Upwards of
four hundred men are employed by the Marquis of Bute in
making the necessary excavations. This public spirited work,
when completed, will tend materially to increase the trade and
commerce of the port of Cardiff.— Welehman.
ORIGIN OF SURROGATE.—A young lady asked
a gentleman the meaning of the word Surrogate. "It is,"
replied he, "a gate through which parties have to pass on their
way to get married."—" Then I suppose," said the lady,
" that it is a corruption of Solrotvgate."
POTATO BEER.—Mr. Exiling, professor of che-
mistry at Prague, has, it is stated, succeeded in brewing a
very pleasant beverage from potatoes. It is said to be clear
as wine, strong, and agreeable to the taste.
"THERE IS NOTHING LIKE BRICKS."--On Wed-
nesday, for a wager of two guineas, a brickmaker, at Burman-
tofts, Leeds, undertook, and completed within the time, the
task of making 4,000 bricks in twelve hours.—Sun. [We
have to record a far superior feat of manual labour to the above,
and which was accomplished without the aid of a wager as a
stimulus to exertion. On Tuesday last, a workman in the
employ of Messrs. Thomas Morgan and Co., brick manu-
facturers, of this town, named John Stacey, having read the
above paragraph, resolved, as he said, " to try what he could
do," and the result was, that on the following day he made the
astonishing number of 5,340 bricks within twelve hours, thus
beating the Leeds brickmaker at the rate of nearly 34 per
cent. lie was obliged to handle in the process of making the
above number of bricks, 74,760 lbs. of clay, or 33 tons, 7 cwt.
2 qrs.—an ample cargo for many of the sloops trading with this
port.— Welshman.]
POLAR EXPEDITION.—We have been favoured
with a sight of a letter from our gallant townsman, Captain
Back, who was off the Orkneys on the 21st June, and had
been towed there by the Government steamer, Rhadantanth us.
The captain and the crew were all well and in excellent spirits
on their voyage to Wager Bay, where the Terror, the ship to
which he has been appointed, will probably winter previously
to making any attempt to discover the limits of the North
American Coast, the country adjacent to Wager Bay, and
Prince Regent's Inlet. The crew of the Terror consists of
about sixty persons. There are three Lieutenants (Lieute-
nant Stanley, son of the Rev. Edward Stanley, of Alderley,
being one), two doctors, and one midshipman. The vessel is
about 350 tons burthen, and is as strong as wood and iron can
make her, the Government having spared no expense to fit
her for the Polar Seas, where she will have to encounter ice
and icebergs in no small number. The cold on Captain Back'S
last expedition was 79 degrees below Zero, or 102 degrees
below the freezing point, and we sincerely trust that the season
will be more favourable for discovery lif cl7iy way ronrii
next November; if npt, it will be the sr.tne' month in next
year. The expedition sailed from Chatham on the 21st,—
