was heard in every part of the Palace. The
walls of the room in which the young Queen
was last sheltered were actually perforated with
balls. Eighteen veteran Halberdiers with a
gallant young Colonel at their head, repulsed
every attempt of the insurgents to break the
doors, strewing the stairs with their dead bodies.
The Minister GoNzaams was in. his office in the
interior of the Palace, when the re-
volt broke out, and by barricading his
doors escaped being shot by- the rebels, who .
several times endeavoured to force the doors. In
their fright the poor Royal children, believing
that they had not an hour to live, cried for a
confessor; and when on the following morning
the troops reviewed in front of the Palace
shouted " Viva el Reyna," the young QUEEN ad-
dressing an attendant said, " Without the Halber-
diers I should not now be alive." And yet this mur-
derous midnight attack upon the residence of a
child, the fright of which might have made her
a drivelling idiot for the remainder of her life,
was planned by her profligate mother with the
probable concurrence of the highest personage in
France. Madame Mutt oz, who preferred a base
connexion with a Life-Guardsman to the
guardianship of her own children, and the
purity of the Royal purple, receives visits
from the King of the FRENCH while
desecrating with carnage the very bedrooms of
her own children in the Royal Palace of
Madrid. Base, indeed, would be the Spanish
Government—inglorious the Spanish Pe maple,
could Spain either forget or forgive t/-_,se out-
rages, heaped upon her through the. connivance
of France.

which came round by way of Perpignan, the Captain-
Ger.eral, Van Halen, immediately assembled the troops
of the garrison, and having announced to them the pro-
ceedings of O'Donnell, exhorted them to fidelity to Es-
partero. After the review, all the superior officers were
called to the presence of the General, and informed that
he would hold them personally responsible for the subor-
dination of their men. He subsequently published a
proclamation, in which, after expressing his indignation
against the Generals who had rebelled against the Go-
vernment, he orders that every soldier (as stated by the
telegraphic Slespatch), or other person under his com-
mand or . ssuthority, who should in speech or writing
express Ins approbation of the rebellion of O'Donnell, or
atter4t to favour revolt or disobedience to the Govern-
P2.ent, should be punished with death. Conformably to

ciples of revolt in the army shoulsa mese the same pun-

The Constitucione 'complains also that General Pavia,
who was second in command at Valencia with Cl'Don-
mil, and also embarked with the ex-Regent, should be
taking the waters at Caldas, where lie and the Carlist
ex- ixeneral Segarra may, it supposes, carry on some 1'
intrigue against the Spanish Government, The Pito-
ceen packet, which left Barcelona on the 9th, arrived
at Marseilles, bringing no Spaniards as passengers, the
Spanish authorities having, says the Gazette du Midi of
,he 12th, refused to grant passports to Spaniards to
emigrate. The persons who arrived in this vessel re-
port that great fermentation reigned in Barcelona, and
that fighting with sticks, as the precursor of more seri-
ous conflicts, was carried on in the streets. Other' ad- I
vices from Barcelona state that the political Governor of
the province, and the Ayuntamiento of the city, have
issued proclamations against the favourers of the
movement.
We learn from Oorfu that the harvest of Corinth
grapes has been very good this year, both in quality and
quantity. Cephalonia has produced nearly 12 millions
of pounds, and Zante about seven millions. A fall in
the price is therefore looked for. It was expected that
a very large quantity of excellent olive oil would be
made, as the trees were loaded with fruit in fine condition.
A letter from Rome states that the Jews of Ancona
gave the Pope, during his visit to that city, a Bible, with

The Memorial of Dieppe states that a young woman
near that town was brought to bed a few days ago of four
children, who, with the mother 4 are doing well.
Criminal indictments against M. Joubert and Baron
d'Este are said, by the Gazette de Tribunaux, to be in
preparation. The Commerce says that Baron d'Este,who
was arrested at Lille for want of passports, was not de-
tained long, but soon allowed to continue his journey to
Paris, where he is believed to have arrived.
The Moniteur Parisien states that the Minister of the
Marine is preparing to establish Government steamers
as packets between the Antilles and the continent of
South America, and that part of the Gulph of Mexico,
called Terra Firma. These steamers, which are to be
placed under the control of the commander of the naval
station of the Antilles, will, adds this journal, prove
highly advantageous to tne French colonies, by ren-
dering the communication between them, and also with
the South American continent, much more frequent and
certain.

Spain Can be for us ? The 'am interest of
, evident
to secure the perpetuity of a dynasty which is cf French
origin, and to strengthen by a new alliance the old family
ties which unite the throne of .Spain to that of ,
. .
Some persons may say; if they please, that
family ties
, have no influence over politics: what is certain is that
the Powers which are the rivals of France would utter
shouts of joy if the blood of Louis XIV. were to cease to
flow in the veins of the Spanish Matriarchs. We fife
ignorant of what the French Government may have done
to avert such a. calamity; but we have no doubt that the
Government has done something. Yes, it would be a
treason to permit a foreign dynasty to establish itself on
the throne of Spain,"
The Presse, another Court paper, attacics Espartero
with the greatest virulence ; quotes the Standard to
prove that by roe Tory Cabinet here he is regarded
as a " disloyal adventurer ;" and Contends that it is the
duty and the interest of France to snatch Spain from
anarchy and the influence of England.
The Constitutionkcl observes that it is the Interest or
the French to prevent a marriage between Queen Isabella
and any foreign Prince not French ; but it does not see
how a marriage could be effected between the Queen and
a French Prince without involving France in a war of
succession. According to the Cpnstitutionnel the project
of Espartero for effecting a marriage between the young
Queen and a son of Don Francis de Paulo is entirely in
the interest of France, as it would at the same time set
aside the pretensions of foreign Courts, and prevent an
alliance with a eon of 1)on Carlos. If such an alliance as
is here proposed be sufficiently French we cannot dqet
that England will at once agree to it. But 20,000 French
bayonets would not force the Spanish people, without
any intervention on ootr part, to allow a son of the King
of the French to espouse their Queen.
The National asks whether the French Government
will be mad enough to convulse Spain, and throw her
permanently into the arms of England, on a pretext of
pre venting a rnarriege between. the Queen and some
foreign Paiiiee' when, says this journal, the idea of mar-
rying her to a foreigner has never been entertained by
the Regent. The National regards the idea of setting
up the Duke d'Aumale as a candidate against the Duke
of Cadiz as alike unjust and insensate.
The Courricr Francais takes an exceedingly sensible
view of this question. The following observations can-
not be too deeply weighed by the French Cabinet :
" Family compacts became the compacts of nations :at a
time when kings were everything in a State; but now that
this is no longer the case, and that kings reign, bvt do not
govern, an alliance of dynasty does not imply a national al-
liance; and if Spain is no longer desirous of cultivating the
friendship of France, it is not by a French marriage that we
should create a different feeling. The husband of Queen is
at all times a personage without influence. Prince Al-
bert has not, that we know of, rendered England Ger-
man, nor has Prince readinand relieved Portugal from
the yoke of England. Napoleon, who load on his side
the influence of genius, and at a time less distant than
our own, from that in which family.compacts were the
order of the day, endeavoured to revive them. He gave
his brother Joseph to the Spaniards as their king, and
what remains of that unfortunate attempt except the re-
membrance of cruel disasters experienced by each nation ?
And is it imagined that what could not be effected by
the powerful arm of Napoleon, by the grand army under
Massena, Sault, and Suchet, and with the gold and blood
of France so profusely lavished in Spain, may be effected
by the Duke d'Aiumalel What is called a French mar-
riage null only be a pretext for using Spain to the pro-
fit of France and her own injury, or for exhausting the
resources of France in support of some Court intrigue.
We disapprove of either of these extremes. What we
desire is the alliance and not the conquest of Spain, and
this alliance to be durable must be voluntary.,
PUBLIC, OPINION.

The Morning Herald, speaking of the squabbles on
the Canadian frontier, and the conduct of Captain Jones,
as respects the capture of Colonel Grogan says—"
If our
Government have no further information than that now
before our readers—or no grounds to assume that Cap-
tain Jones has it in his power sufficiently to justify either
his own orders, or the excess committed by the party he
employed in executing them ; we doubt not that they
will issue such immediate instructions to their own re-
presentatives in Canada, and address such instant com-
munications to the American Government as may at
least suspend any irrevocable operations proceeding on
the ground of an insult sustained by the one Govern-
ment, and vindicated by the other. We look for the
next arrivals with the most profound and inexpressible
anxiety. At present, never did a great and righteous
cause appear to be in more serious jeopardy of being
compromised by an unlucky and unlooked-for accident,
than the issue of the M'Leod case seems to be, from the
capture of Grogan."

The Cour Royale decided yesterday that there were
no grounds for proceeding against the responsible editor
of the Temps, Gazette de France, Echo Francais, and
Estafette, for the article announcing the withdrawal of
the orders for taking the census ; and directed that the
copies seized should be restored.

M.
Voillet de Saint Philibert, responsible editor of
the Mode, underwent an interrogation yesterday by the
examining Magistrate, on the subject of the number of
the Journal which has been seized.
A letter from Pampeluna, of the 10th, says :
" O'Donnell has resolved to act with energy, and his
first step has been to require the evacuation of the city.
General Ribeiro having disregarded this injunction, the
citadel began by throwing, at intervals, bombs and
grenar.les into the city, which, it is said, did but little
mischief. As lam going to close my letter, the firing
hai ceased, but it is not exactly known for what reason.
It is said that the two Generals have had a confer-
ence, which I doubt, knowing the firmness of Ribeiro's
character."

The Chronicle says :—" All reflecting persons, from
the political economist down to the labourer, aro agreed as
to the evils of the Corn 'Monopoly. There is not a single
name of any weight opposed to a repeal of the Corn-laws.
It is supported by selfish men, who use no other argu-
ment than, we have the power, and are determined to
maintain the law. But with respect to constitutional re-
forms, the moment they are agitated men begin to differ
widely. In France, the Liberals dread, if the suffrage
were general, that the priests and the enemies of liberty
would obtain the ascendancy. In this country,
from the inequality of property and the ignorance
and dependence of the population in the agri-
cultural districts, it is supposed by many that
universal suffrage would only strengthen the
.land-
lords. Hence many who are ardent friends of

The Phare says that, just as it was going to press, it
received the following news
" The firing commenced at I'ampeluna at six in the
morning of the 10th, and continued till six in tha even-
ing ; at ten at night it recommenced, and continued till
six the next morning. After a suspension of two hours,
it was recommenced, and had not ceased at noon. The
':.omen and children had left the place.
"It is affirmed that the damage is considerable, espe-
cially to the buildings contiguous to the Place de Cas-
tello, which are reduced to a heap of ruins, .

companies.

liberty oppose universal suffrage, from a belief that it
would prove the grave of liberty. In the great towns
alone, they say, is there anything like public opinion ;
and the improvement that is most wanted in the repre-
sentation is to increase the number of representatives for
great towns, to diminish the number of county represen-
tatives, and to place a number of small boroughs in sche-
dule A."—We agree with the Chronicle that an increase
of the representation in great towns is much wanted,
and a proportionate decrease in the number of county
representatives ; but these are reforms far too efficient
and too really valuable ever to be granted by the Tories
Without a desperate struggle. They dread the force of,
public opinion that manifests itself in the grea,t, towns,
as much as they encourage by every means. ill,.
power, the ignorance and prejudice 'so prevalei4 in the ,
agricultural districts. Your true Tory makes 'it a point '
of duty to concede no such reforms to the people, but
such as are scarcely worth their acceptance.
We quote the following from 'the Post:—" The new
Government is but just established in office at that
period of the year which generally fornis the recess from
Parliamentary duty. The Prime Minister announces
that he intends to bring forward very important mea-
sures, but that some time is required for the considera-
tion of them before they can prudently be subinittad to
Parliament. Is the public therefore left in. the' dark as
to the general disposition with which the Minister un-
dertakes his task, or has the public really been given
reason to believe that the Minister will prepare his
measures in a harsh, narrow, and exclusive' spirit,
as regards the people ? Quite the contrary; Sir
Robert Peel has stated most emphatically what the
principles are upon which he means to proceed, or
at least he has stated the nature of the guides
to which he will look in making IT his mind
as to the measures ho will propose. He has stated, as
plainly as words can state anything, that the principles
he will adhere to during his public life, whether in oppo-
sition or in power, shall be " in conformity with the pre-
vailing good sense, with the moderation, and with the
intelligence of the people of England."—This declaration
of the Tory Premier, plausible as it is, is a mere flourish.
of speech, nothing more. It is just like the majority of
his Parliamentary declarations, meant only to tickle the
and
long ears of his partisans. By the " people of England,"
he of course means those who are of the same way of
thinking with himself ; for it has long been an axiom

the Chureli's demands on Government, as urged by the
Chattit gangland Quarterly Pevielb--,-"Thst Sir Robert
and his coadjutors regard these absurd claims with con-
tempt arid derision; is certain ; but, men who live by

Sir Robert Peel owes his majority. But there is a de-

The Bolton Free Press has the following fenisiths on
the Chartist system of policy :—" The Chartists weaken
the effect . of Anti-Corn-law demonstrations by their
feeidOsk interfefenee; and; instead of strengthening
themselves by it, they only excite disgust and indigna-
tion in many who would otherwise join their ranks. The
food monopoly is the weakest point in the citadel of
nionopol4, and by a milted
,people it could easily be
stormed in .that directiofi. But the Chartists seek to
break the force of the attack. They seem to forget that
by standing in the way of the Corn-law Repealers they
are at once sacrificing a present good, and putting off
still farther their own more distant objects."
The Leeds Times gives the following picture of the
present state of the country :—" The people are suffer-
ing, at one and the same time, from hunger and from
surplus produce ; from nakedness and from a glut of
clothing t from overtrading and overworking ; and from
want of trade and want of work ; from panics occasioned
by too much wealth and too much debt ; and from bank-
hiptcy and insolvency, tiLe fruits of plethora' and
' unexampled prosperity • These are the breakers'
which are already under our very bows ; and yet the
first step of Sir Robert Peel, the ' Pilot' who is to
weather the storm,' is to abandon the vessel for an en-
tire season to the mercy of the wind and waves."
Speaking of the present Ministry, the Devonport Inde-
pendent remarks :—" So long as the country will endure
to be so represented and governed, so long must it bear
its worst grievance unmitigated. So long as the Tories
may, with impunity, despise public opinion, they will do
so, for they never yet rendered it a voluntary deference."
The Liverpool Chronicle advises the people in these
terms :—" The people must not forget their duty to
themselves. They must let their mis-representatives
know what they think of them, and they must speak out
in a tone which may force itself to be heard above the
shouts of merriment which will echo through the halls
of Drayton Manor, and disturb the insulting laugh of
high-rent Buckingham, and all the other enemies of the
country. Yes ; let the work of petitioning. the Queen go
on from one extremity of' the empire to the other."
The Dublin Evening Post, in discussing Lord Alvan-
ley's pamphlet, makes the following incidental re-
marks :—" Professions are totally valueless, when the
Castle is crowded and ruled by the old and inveterate
enemies of popular rights, and when the Delzoes are
are awaiting, in regular rank and file, their promotion to
the judicial Bench, and to the most important offices
connected with the administration of justice. When
Lord Elint is powerless in opposition to the forced ap-
pointment of one of those Delzoes as his own consulting
Counsel, is it not the merest delusion to talk to the
Irish people of the good intentions of the Lord Lieu-
tenant and the Chief Secretary. The plain truth is, that
English Tories govern in Downing-street, whilst Irish
Orange partizans rule in Dublin Castle."

We take the following from the Gazette of the 15th :
During the past week we have to note little difference
in the state of the Markets. All import articles are
heavy in the Markets, and very little business done at
advanced prices. Since the commencement of the pre-
sent year, the export trade still continues in a languish-
ing condition, unless we except the trade in oil, which is
uncommonly brisk; but the: greater portion come into
port this year, has already been shipped for Europe.
Owing to the unsettled state of the China trade, Teas.

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.— Shortly after
ten o'clock, on Saturday night, Robert Benton, late
coachman to Lord Coventry, residing at 103, Piccadilly,
suddenly expired while singing in the concert-room of
the King and Prince of Wales public-house, in Brick-
street, Piccadilly. The circumstance, as might be ex-
pected, created as extraordinary sensation throughout
the room.

SPECIMEN OF TORYISM.—A commercial tra-
veller -has written to inform us that having a few days
since driven into the town of Northallerton in York-
shire after dark, he was surprised to find the streets
unlighted, and nearly the whole town in darkness. On
inquiring into the cause, he found that the proprietor of
the gas-works having at the last election given his sup-
port to Mr. Wrightson the Liberal candidate, the Tories
of the town, who, it appears, have at present the upper
hand in municipal matters, have entered into a combina-
tion to use no more gas in their shops, nor in the streets.
This piece of folly and tyranny is almost too monstrous
for belief, but is, nevertheless, a fact attested by more
than one respectable eye-witness.—Berwick Advertiser.
The Morning Post of Friday, gave, in a second
edition, a letter from its Havre correspondent, who
stated that the Louis Philippe had arrived at that port,
bringing New York papers of the 28th ult. three days
later than those received by the Great Western. It was
rather unfortunate for the value of this communication,
that it did not contain any
.part of the important intelli-
gence brought by the Sheridan, which sailed on the 27th
ult. only. The fact is, that the Louis Philippe sailed
on the 25th, in company with the Akbar, which arrived
at this port on Tuesday ; but the French correspondent
of the Post thought to enhance the value of his comm u-
York.Liveon rpo posl

Another Honey Buzzard (a very fine specimen)
was shot by a gentleman a few days since at Rowde'Ash-
ton. It is now in the possession of Mr. Fry, Pelican Inn,
Walcot-street, Bath, where it may be seen. Twelve years
have elapsed since one of these birds was before shot in
the neighbourhood, and it is fifty years since a pair has
been seen here—Somerset County Gazette.
• The Liverpool Mechanics' Institution is by far
the most extensive and splendid Institution of the kind
in the kingdom. The buildings of the Institution cost
no less than 15,0001 ; it contains upwards of 3,300 mem-
bers,-850 pupils in three clay schools,-600 pupils in
fifteen or sixteen evening classes,—it has fifty teachers
regularly employed, whose salaries amount to 5,0001. a-
year,—a library of 7,000 volumes, with 1,300 readers
and a daily distribution of 200 volumes,—and public lec-
tures twice a week, attended by audiences varying from
600 to 1,300. - -

The' Lyons papers state that the storm of the
2d inst, made sad ravages in the Jura mountains. Ten
houses were either entirely thrown down or seriously
damaged by the hurricane in the Communes of Sept-
moncel and La Maura. More than 2,000 pine-trees were'
torn up by the roots, or broken to pieces, some of them
being 150 years old. Part were cut of by fragments, of
the roafs of houses, and carried to a distance of more than
a mile. Much minor destruction was of course done.
Three persons are said to have been wounded, but no
loss of human life is mentioned.
The Segusian Mercury of St. Etienne, near
Lyons, states :—.lhe examining Magistrate and Pro-
cureur du Roi, attended by a brigadier of gendarmerie,
went a few days since to a manufactory at St. Chamond,
and seized several pieces of black and blue ribbons.
Several warrants of arrest have been issued, and M. I),,
on whose premises these ribbons have beenfound,
politicalNvas
brought in here on Saturday, and confined in our prison.
This seizure seems to be connected with the
arra made a few day ago at Lyons."

sketches, full of truth and simplicity; thes:
various articles constitute an agreeable melange,
which will be perused with avidity by those for
whose instruction and entertainment it is in-
tended. The plates, which are sixteen in num-
ber, are most of them skilfully and carefully e
cuted; and amongst the best, are those which
are illustrative of African scenery. The view of the
"Entrance to the Kowa River, Cape of Good
Hope," is a very beautiful landscape sketch, and
bears no indistinct resemblance to one of th e scones
in the lake districts of the North. The broad,
winding river, is bounded on either side by moun-
tains, which shelve down to the water's edge ; here
stretching out into promontories, clothed with
luxuriant woods; and there descending almost
perpendicularlyinto the stream. The appear-
ance of a boat or two on the river, and of a dusky-
groupe of native Africans who are bivouacking
by a watch-fire, near a tall, spreading tree, en-
joying themselves, no doubt, after the dangers
and fatigues of the chase, impart life and variety
to a landscape which could scarcely be consider..
ed complete without some such accessaries. The
" Idiot" represents a wild, rocky, mountainous
landscape, with a back-ground of sterile moor.
On the summit of one of the crags, and just at its
eJcze, an idiot boy is seated, utterly* unconscious
of tit,e peril of his situation, which realizes Col-
lins's earful description of Danger. " Temple
of Clituinikus, near Spolito," is a sketch which
will, remind tLe reader of Byron's exquisite pic-
ture of the same scene in the fourth Canto of
" Childe Harold." In this striking landscape
we know not which most to admire, its natural
or its architectural beauties. Ii needs little fbre-
sight to predict that this Scrap-book will be
among the most popular of the juvenile Annuals.
LIFE AND TIMES OF LOUIS PHILIPPE.
Fisher, London' 1841.
In this volume we have a biographical sketch
of the present King of the French, from the
period of his first appearance, when a youth.
under the banner of the Republic, down to the
imprisonment of the Orleans family, after the
;teeth of Egalite, by order of the National Con-.
veation. The work is to be continued in monthly
Parts; and as the subject abounds in interesting
materials, we suppose it will require at least six
noire Parts to bring it to a conclusion. The.
spirii in which the Memoir is written is one of
moderation and impartiality, wherefore we in-
cline to Augur well of its success. The present
Part contain,: two engravings, the most attractive
of which is a sketch of Louis Philippe teaching-
geography at the Cpllege of Reicherau. This•
print is taken from an original painting in the
Palais Royal, of which its 3oyal owner is de-
servedly proud.
DIS

'EASES OF THE HIP-JOINT.
By W. Coulson. Longman and Co.
A new edition of this valuable work, which we
understand has met with a most favourable re-
ception from the medical world, has just made
its appearance. It has received considerable ad-
ditions, including a chapter on puerperal affec-
tions of the joints, with which the ordinary dis-
eases of the hip is, in some cases, liable to lie
confounded. The extensive practice of Mr. Coul-
son in scrofulous diseases generally, as one of the
Medical Board of the Sea Bathing Infirmary at
Margate, has enabled him to bring to bear much
important information on a class of diseases the
pathology of which has hitherto been involved in
some obscurity; and, as he has judiciously ob-
served, with reference to the expediency of clas-
sifying the symptoms and treatment according
to the structure principally affected or inflamed,
" the few opportunities which occur to those en-
gaged in the most extensive practice, of examin-
ing th•e disease in its earliest stage, and the rapi-
dity with which all the parts become involved in
the mischief, render this branch of inquiry.re-
plete with difficulty." To the non-medical read-
er, and particularly to those who are suffering
under this most formidable and protracted com-
plaint, the chapters on the Causes and Treat-
ment of Diseases of the Hip-joint will be peculi-
arly interesting and instructive. -Soine of Mr.
Coulson's views are novel, and opposed to the
generally received system of treatment; it is;
however, but justice to him to add, that where
he differs from those who have preceded him on
the subject, he does so with due deference to the
high medical authorities with whom he is at
issue, while, at the same time, he maintains his
own opinions with sound argument,. and the re-
sult of that best of all teachers in medical as well
as other departments of science, namely, prac-
tical experience.

LAST MOMENTS OF LORD
SYDENITA DI.
The death-bed scene of this lamented nobleman was as
impressive and characteristic, and as worthy of a page
in history, as that of any hero or statesman in her re-
cords, who died, like him, in the service of his country.
The following account is extracted from the letter of an
eye-witness :

" For about a week after the accident (a fall on horse-
back by which his leg was broken, and at the same time
a deep and painful wound inflicted just above the knee)
he appeared to be going on tolerably well, and although
he himself repeatedly expressed doubts as to his .re-
covery, there was nothing to lead us to suppose, nor did
the medical men give us to understand, that his presenti-
ment was more than the natural consequence of the low-
ness produced by weakness.
" On Monday, however, the 13th, spasms came on, first
in the leg, and afterwards in the stomach and throat ;
yet still we had no idea that a fatal result would ensue.
The prorogation had at first been fixed for Wednesday,
and subsequently, at the request of the Assembly, post-
poned till Friday ; and so little prepared were we then
for what was to follow, that during Thursday the Go-
vernor-General was employed in giving his decision on
the several bills which had been passed, and in revising
the draft of the speech which, at his desire, had been
prepared for him.
" On Friday morning his illess increased so much
that he was obliged to put off the prorogation,
and after consultation with his medical advisers,
he determined to prorogue the Parliament by de-
putation. General Clitherow, being the senior mili-
tary officer at present at Kingston, was selected
for the purpose, and prorogued the Parliament on Sa-
turday morning at twelve o'clock, giving at the same
time the Royal assent or reservation to the Bills,

of the two winters he passed here, acting on a constitu-

the effects of an injury, not otherwise of a fatal cha-

timely* grave past differences will be forgotten, a spirit
of charity grow up and flourish, and all parties unite cor-
dially to carry out the policy and administer the laws which
his master mind devised and his master hand enacted.
"In compliance with his own request, he is to be
buried at Kingston. His remains will find a fit resting-
place among the inhabitants of that town, which owes
to him its selection as the capital of united Canada ;
and his best monument will be the future prosperity of
the colony itself, destined, no doubt, to become a mighty
and magnificent empire—a prosperity founded on that
union and those institutions, to perfect which he devoted
every faculty for the last two years of his life; and which
he died in the very act of completing."
. Lord Sydenham had just accomplished his fortyssecon
year a few days only before his death.
