We kayo received from Halifax the Prospectivi
of a new Weekly Journal, called the Nova Scotian, the first
number of which was to be issued about thin time. The paper
is to be lilted by Mr. George It. Young, *on sof Mr. • Young,
the writer of the Letters of Agricola; and the prospectus inti-
mates, that a number of literary Gentlemen have promised
their assistance, and expresses a hope that it will well deserve
public patrona V.
A very ingenious machine for making Shoe Lasts, (the mould
of wood upon which n shoe or hoot is.commonly shaped) has
lately been made by Mr. Byrne, of the Settlement of St. Patrick;
on the River Jacques Cartier. The machine moves on the
principle of the commonaurning lathe, in the present instance
by horse power, and what it is remarkable for, is, its simplicity,
its extensive application, and its forming the slimiest ctimplet_
which, the reader knows is of a very irregular shape, after the
common process of turning. Mr. Byrne intends applying tin
a Patent, and the cheapness and quality of the article, will en.
ahle him, he conceives, to-introduce them into general consump-
tion here, and make it even an. article the low price of which
will permit consumption.
The electioneering for.-the next President of, the United
States appears to be carried- on with unusual warmth. Some
papers are almost entirely tilled with reeommendation.s of one
Candidate, and reasons for rejecting all others, given frequently
in language far from polite. -In all the papers of the State -of
New-York, the eye meets with words like the following in large
letters, " REPUBLICAN TICKET," STATE NO3

Tim WEATHER.—During the last fortnight the weather
has been generally squally, and some heavy Nina have fallen,
Yesterday forenoon and last night we had a slight shower of
snow, just sufficient to remind us of "sober autumn fading into
age,' and of the near approach of " pale concluding winter."--,

REMARKABLE CAVERN.—In the township of Lanark, near
the Path Settlement, U. C. a cavern has been lately discovered, .
containing an immense quantity uf bones, chibfly of the Elk, -
Buffhlo and Mouse Deer. The cave commences with a per. ,
pendienlar descent of from six to eight feet, and extends a great
war under ground. It has not yet been sufficiently explored to
promote the interest of science. We hope some persons will
feel curiosity enough in the discovery to induce them to ex.
amine it more carefully, and to state the result to the public.

with an adjoiningstore.house and a quantity of boards and plank.
The fire took place in consequence of the faulty arrangement
of the pipe of a' tove in which a fire had been mane' that Morn.

had elapsed from the time it was discovered until the buildings
were in a complete flame. The damages arc suppoaed to be
