UNITED STATES AND CANADA. 2 Vols.
Bentley. London, 1t534.
Often as we have read about the Canadas and the
United States, we know not that the subject has ever
been brought before us in a more attractive form than
in the present volumes. Mr. Arfwedson, to whom we
are indebted for the publication, is, a traveller of the
right sort—active--inquisitive—eager in the pursuit of
novelty, well-stored with useful knowledge, and gifted
with a keen apprehension of the beauties of external
nature. Hacknied as may be the theme, we can safely
assert, that we have read his brief but masterly sketch
of the " Falls of Niagara" with as much relish
as if the subject were wholly new to us.
The author's details of his voyage to New York, when
the packet-ship in which he embarked was overtaken
by a storm—of the crew sitting up throughout the
night in the dimly-lighted cabin, endeavouring to keep
up each other's courage by telling frightful stories of
" battles, sieges, hair-breadth 'scapes, &c."—and, in
particular, of the old American Republican, who, when
revolutionary anecdotes were brought on the Lapis,
could not contain himself, but burst forth into
an uproarious " Yankee-doodle" that almost out-
roared the hurricane that was whistling about
the vessel ;—these details are full of those little
graphic touches which constitute the great charm
of real narrative. Equally dramatic in its way is the
sketch of the American pilot who comes on board,
just when the welcome cry of " land" is heard from
the mast-head. In his description of the rising city
Of New York; Mr. Arfwedson is remarkably minute,
perhaps too much so, considering that the majority of
his readers are as familiar (from the multiplicity
of descriptions they have read .on the subject)
with the Broadway and the American boarding-
houses, as they are with Regent-street, and the
manners of the middle classes in the metropolis.
The author's narrative of his voyage up the river Hud-
son, of which Washington Irving has made so much
his " Tales of a Traveller," teem with interest—a
t
praise which we may accord also to his description of
the city of ,Boston, memorable for its early struggles
during the revolutionary war ; of the manners of its
inhabitants ; and its somewhat paradoxical " Tempe-
rance Societies." The main recommendation, how-
ever, of Mr. Arfwedson's volumes—and we know
of no greater recommendation in books of voyages
and travels—is the air of uniform truth and impar-
tiality that pervades them. They are filled neither with
rancorous abuse of the Americans on the one hand,nor
with i, discriminate eulogy in the other, but keep a
safe and happy medium between the two. Those who
desireuto obtain a fair insight into the nature of transat-
lantic manners and institutions; and who desire also
to be amused as well as enlightened, should peruse
these volumes with attention. We are limited in space
or we should go more at length into the subject ; so
for the present, must content ourselves with the fol-
lowing brief sketch of a storm in the neighbourhood
of the Niagara river :
About seven miles from this great natural wonder, we
were overtaken by an awful storm, such as is frequently expe-
rienced in the American hemisphere, and of which only those
who have witnessed it can form any conception. I have re-
peatedly seen storms of a terrific nature on the Alps and Apen-
nines ; but such a convulsion in Nature as that which I now
encountered surpassed my imagination. The heavens were
clothed in a sable mantle, apparently so heavy, that it seemed
to rest on the tops of the trees. The reflection on the stream
gave it a sad and gloomy cotour, such as the sea presents when
the waves open their bottomless abysses. A kind of darkness,
neither dusk nor night, covered the scene—only now and then
Interrupted by flashes of lightning, visible in every direction,
as if they were waging war against each other. It was not
imagination that made the atmosphere feel extremely oppres-
sive, almost obstructing respiration ; even animals felt its in-
fluence—the horses of the stage would scarcely move. This
oppressive state of the atmosphere continued a long time, and
was a‘source of great annoyance to all the persons crowded to-
gether in the coach. Nothing makes travellers so silent and
dejected as a storm : the most lively and talkative assumes a
serious look, when his eyes are blinded by lightning. Con-
versation ceased as soon as the storm became serious--every
otie probably communed with his conscience. I only per-
ceived the heavy breathing when the thunder ceased for a few
seconds. All communication with each other was suspended,
for the crashing of the thunder was deafening, and continually in-
creasing. None of the females had, as yet, shown any symptoms
of fear, whatever they felt ; but, when the flashes of lightning
followed in such rapid succession that all around appeared in
a blaze, accompanied by awful peals of thunder, cries of
anxiety were heard in the coach. Our situation was rendered
still more disagreeable by the rain pouring down in torrents,
and penetrating, without difficulty, the roof and doors of the
coach. Who did not then wish himself under some hospitable
roof ? But where was such a one to be found ? The driver
had, on the first appearance of the storm, been desired to stop
at the nearest house, and assured us it was at only a short dis-
tance ; but this short distance, it was found afterwards, meant
a few miles ; so that it was not till the worst part of the storm
was over that we saw signs of a human habitation. Here we
Waited till the weather cleared up. The air became by de-
grees lighter and cooler; and Niagara at last resumed its
empire, by raising its powerful voice, which is heard for several
files round."

A DESCRIPTION OF THE AZORES, OR
• WESTERN ISLAND S.
FROM PERSONAL OBSERVATION. Br CAPTAIN BOLD•
London: Edward Churton, Holles-street. 1835.
A book so rich in thought, so varied in information,
and so elaborate in detail as the volume now before us,
is seldom to be met with among the works of modern
tourists. Captain Boid is not a mere traveller, who
contents himself with reporting road-side conversations,
or describing a group of dirty little urchins on a
village green, to satisfy the sentimental, of his
qualifications for novel-writing in the slip-shod
style. He handles his subject as he ought.
to handle it—as a naturalist, a moralist, and a politi-
cian. The only fault we find with him is in his style,
which is frequently stilted, and sometimes approaches
to bombast. He is too fond of parading his know-
ledge of what the ancients would have reckoned
among the occult sciences—Geology, Mineralogy,
and Botany. Hard words may be great proofs
of a writer's scholastic attainments, but at the
same time they betray a crudity of taste
which impairs the value of their works in the
estimation of more practised authors. Still the book
before us is rendered so interesting by a number of
spirited descriptions of the manners and customs of the
inhabitants of these islands, and the history of their
connection with the Crown of Portugal, that to us it
possessed all the interest of an Oriental tale, inde-
pendent of its literal truth. The Azores are a cluster
of islands in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean, which
are here proved to have been produced by the action of
fire. The following is the opening description of the
soil and climate
With respect to the climate of this Archipelago, nature
appears to have been prodigal in bestowing on it all the ad-
vantages that a fine atmosphere and a pure air can impart
either to the animal or the vegetable world. The tempera-
ture is most delicious, and there is a spring-like softness in
the air, throughout the year, with no greater variation than 25
degrees of Farenheit's thermometer, whose average range from
January to December is between 50 and 75 degrees. The vi-
cinity of the sea, united to the mountainous elevation of the
general surface of the land, and incessant absorption of hu-
midity which the volcanic nature of the soil induces, tends to
temper and mollify the extreme ardor of the sun in this iso
lated spot of the ocean. From the indication of the thermo-
meter it will be seen that extremes are never felt : that cold
can never be considerable even in winter, or in the heats of
summer intense. The general mildness of temperature is in-
deed so marked and peculiar, that no provision is requisite for
the poor against the inclemencies of winter; and the facility
of procuring the means of sustenance is so great, that, in
combination with this peculiar mildness and the nature of the
government, a constitutional aversion is almost engendered to
those efforts necessary for the improvement of cultivation.
Nothing can be more enchanting or lovely than the spring :
vegetation shoots forth with a rapidity and vigor that is quite
astonishing, whilst there is a fresh verdure in the herbage, and
a brilliance, beauty and fragrance in the flowers, eminently or-
namental to the different gardens and parts of the country
where they abound."
The inhabitants of such a delightful region might well
1 to possess every happiness of which man
can be capable. Yet the

people are poor, ignorant, and often profligate in their
conduct. Neither is the number of the inhabitants at
all adequate to the means of sustenance which these
islands are capable of affording, with even an attempt
at cultivation. The 'following are the causes assigned
by Captain Boid for the comparatively wretched state
of the inhabitants of the "Western islands :
" In the first place, the miserable, arbitrary government
policy of both church and state that has hitherto paralyzed the
elements of industry wherever its baneful effects have been
felt : for whilst church policy has, through priestcraft and
loading men's consciences with superfluous weight, kept the
people in a state of moral debasement, checking the growth
of intelligence, and practising its greedy exactions on indi-
vidual property—that of the state has established a kind of
physical degradation by the following means ;—namely, a
military despotism, and a code of laws which, instead of
securing the person and property of the subject, and encou-
raging both industry and talent, has tended to expose the one
and restrain the other. Hence has resulted, on the part of
the people, a state of apathy, indolence, and recklessness cha-
racteristic of every oppressed and misgoverned race.
" In the second place, the ruinous operation of the laws of
primogeniture, particularly as three-fourths of all the culti-
vated lands of the islands are entailed ; which laws, so long as
they exist, must place insuperable obstacles in the way of
civilization and prosperity. The owners of these large estates
can in no country undertake to farm and cultivate such ex-
tensive properties themselves, and much less here, where both
capital and entorprize are wanting. They have, therefore,
recourse to leasing it out in small grants to ignorant farmers
on whom they exercise the most grinding tyranny and ex-
action ; and such is the impolitic system of short leases, that
the poor farmer is discouraged from doing that benefit to the
ground he otherwise might : indeed, to make the best of a
bad bargain, he drains all the virtues out of the soil, and yields
it to his master, at the termination of his lease, in almost a
sterile condition. The great proprietors of these entailed
estates are called Morgados, which title is appended to the
name of the person as that of Esquire to an Englishman's.
Many of them are in the annual receipt of as much as 40,000
crowns from their lands, and reside -in Portugal, whither their
rents are transmitted in the form of produce.
***** * . * • *

" In the third place, must be noticed the total absence of
practicable roads for communication with the interior, and by
which the produce of the country might be transported at a
cheap rate to any general mart : the result of this is, that the
central parts of these fertile islands, amounting to full two-
thirds of the whole superficies, are unconverted to any pro-
fitable purpose, and lie deserted in a state of uncultivated
waste, or are impenetrably covered with underwood, briers,
wild shrubs, stunted cedars, &c., leaving nothing but a mere
belt of land, bordering on the sea, that is either peopled or
brought under culture."

We have further to observe that this book is embel
lished with several very handsome views tolerably wel
executed.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.-THIS DAY.

A numerous meeting of the Common Council was held
this morning for the purpose of considering the answer re-
turned by his Majesty to the Address from the Court.
The LORD MAYOR, accompanied by the usual city officers,
took the Chair a few minutes after 12 o'clock. There were
only four of the Aldermen present, viz., Aldermen Kelly
Harmer, Venables, and Laurie. The Minutes of the last
Court having been read,
The LORD MAYOR informed the Court, that on the 2d
December he had attended his Majesty with the address of
that Court, to which his Majesty had been pleased to return a
most gracious answer. He handed it to the Recorder, who
read it (as it formerly appeared in The Sun), the Court all
standing.
Mr. ASIIURST moved that his Majesty's answer be entered in
the minutes of the Court.
Mr. FIGOINS moved as an amendment, " That his Majesty's
gracious answer be entered in the minutes of the Court."
A scene of great confusion arose which lasted for two mi-
nutes, during which both motions were seconded.
Mr. DIXON said a few words, but they were lost to us from
the noise which prevailed.
Mr. GALLOWAY said no one would for a moment suppose
that the Court would do its duty if the answer were not re-
corded—but he must say that whatever the words of it might
be, whether gracious or not, there could be no doubt at all as
to the ungraciousness of the manner.
( It was known beforehand what objections were going to be
made upon this head, and it is impossible to .describe the up-
roar that instantly ensued upon Mr. Galloway's pronouncing
that word.)
Sir P. LAURIE rose to order. There was nothing g all
about the manner then before the Court, nor did he see how
there could be. Surely that Court were not to turn critics
upon manners ?

Mr. ASHURST denied that the Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Gal-
loway) had made the question one of manners at all. He was
raising an argument which was perfectly open to him upon the
motions then before the Court.

The LORD MAYOR said there was certainly nothing before
the Court, by the consideration of which it could come to any
conclusion as to his Majesty's manner ; even if it were possible
to bring anything, he did not see how he could allow it to be
proceeded in. There was a written document for the conside-

ration of the Court, and therefore he vrould not suffer tiiea;-
gument begun by the Hon. Gentleman to be used in that
Court, in his presence. It was due to the Sovereign, as well
as to himself, that he should act so, and he trusted he should
be supported while performing his duty.
Mr. GALLOWAY proceeded. He had the most sincere re-
spect both to his Sovereign and to the person filling the office
of Lord Mayor, but while he had the honour of a seat in that

Court, he would not be dictated to by any one, as to the way
in which he should perform his duty, or give utterance to his
sentiments upon any question.—( Cheers.) He considered it
was then as much a part of his duty tocomment upon the con-
duct and manner of His Majesty
(During the whole of this speech the Lord Mayor was call-
ing upon Mr. G. by name to desist—to sit down—the Court
being all the while in the utmost confusion. At last the Lord
Mayor rose apparently much excited. He said a few words,
but it was impossible to catch even their purport, from the
noise that prevailed.)
Mr. Deputy BROOKS trusted the Lord Mayor would be sup-
ported in the performance of his duty.
Mr. ASHURST—SureIy the Lord Mayor can take care of
himself; he does not need the protection of the worthy De-
puty.--( Laughter. )

The LORD MAYOR said he appealed to the Court whether
such a line of argument as the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gal-
loway) persisted in, which appeared to him (the Lord
Mayor) as most indecorous and most impertinent—( Loud
cries)—should be allowed to go on. He would not allow it
to be done in his presence. If the Court supported him, well
and good; but if not, he could not help it.—(The remainder
of the threat was lost in the immense uproar that ensued.)
Sir P. LAURIE again rose to order, and appealed to the
Court whether their proceedings would give it any addition of
dignity? Every word of the answer was open to their com-
ment, and might be criticized ; but with the manner in which
it was delivered they had nothing on earth to do. If he had
the honour of sitting where the Lord Mayor did, he would not
suffer one word to be said upon the subject.
Mr. GALLOWAY said much time had been lost, but the blame
rested not on him, but on those by whom he had been so often
interrupted. He meant not to say one word upon the
wording of the answer, but he must positively deny that the
manner in which it was delivered was, or could be considered
as gracious.
( There was here another storm from all parts of the Court. )
The LORD MAYOR rose and said, if Mr. Galloway did not
submit—

Mr. GALLOWAY—These interruptions
The LORD MAYOR—Mr. Galloway, I say again you may
criticise the answer so long as you please, but if you presume
cheering)—to criticise the manner of its delivery,
I am sure I will be supported by the Court.
Mr. Galloway and several others attempted to speak, when
The LORD MAYOR, raising his voice, said you may do as
you please, but if order is not restored, and if the objection-
able arguments are persisted in, I will take the sword and mace
and break up the Court.—( Immense uproar.)
Mr. Wire rose to order. The terms in which the Lord
Mayor had indulged were most unworthy of any one who had
the honour of being President of that Court.
The LORD MAYOR decided that Mr. Wire was out of order,
for he was not speaking to it, and another was in possession of
the Court. - •

Mr. GALLOWAY regretted very much that he had been the
cause of so much disturbance. I meant to say a very few
words, and would have been done long ago if I had been
allowed to go on. I was about to refer to what the conduct
of his Majesty had been, and if I have called it by any name
displeasing to your Lordship, and in which you could not
agree, I am sorry for it ; but I gave it the only name which I
thought it deserved. (Great cheering.)
Mr. STEVENS said if any thing unpleasant had arisen, those
only were to blame who had moved the amendment. The
original motion was, " That his Majesty's answer to the
Address be entered on the minutes of the Court."—Now
surely they had the choice and the liberty of speaking
freely upon the motion before them. The answer was before
them, and to enter it upon their juurnals appeared to him to be
quite sufficient, and that the amendment was uncalled for.—
( Cheers.) His decided opinion was, that the original motion
was a proper one, and ought to be carried. He would freely
give it his support.—( Applause.)
Mr. FIGGINS said he bad not seen the necessity for the
noise and confusion that had taken place. He was
most firmly of opinion that the answer was a most
gracious one, and one which ought to be most conso-
latory to every man of good feeling—(laughter)—and he
confessed he was astonished to find that any Reformer could
find fault with it.—(Great laughter.) His Majesty had said,
" It ever was, and ever will be, his most earnest desire to
correct all abuses, and improve the condition of the country."
That he had been most anxious to do so no one could doubt,
for he had given them the Reform ,Bill.—( Cheers.) He did
think that it was undeniable that to him they owed all grati-
tude for that great measure, which was the means placed in
the hands of the people for the correction of every abuse.—
(Great cheering.) With it, what had they to dread from
Torryism ? It never could prevail. Then his Majesty fur-
ther said—" He trusted that the Ministers whom he had
chosen would carry those wishes into effect"—that was, that
they would go on and reform.—( Great laughter.) He did
not say he was confidedt they would do so, or that you may
rest assured they will do that—but then did these words not
imply that if they did not, he would withdraw his support from

them.—( Much laughter.) He said it was the first wish bi 4
heart—they had had proof of that, and therefore, 9.'1
the answer altogether, he did not see how It „signi)
deserve the character of being ungracious.---(llear'
He was not so fastidious about reform as not to receive it frog'
any hands and in any manner--(Cheers)—but he trusted thei
would all unite against the common enemy of Reforrn.-:t
( Cheers.) His Majesty had pledged himself that the b,-
wishes of his heart were to correct all abuses in the country;
( Great cheering)—and the King having given that assurillig
he trusted that the Court would enter upon the minutes
gracious answer. He looked upon that answer as a Pledge
of his Majesty's intention to correct every abuse. %fa,
Sir P. LAURIE trusted that the Court would place his
jesty's gracious answer upon its minutes. Some of the cleni:
hers had stated that there was no dependence to be placed uPl'i
the new Ministry ; that assertion he considered too rash ; „
they asked for was fair play, which he hoped would be giwe;
to them, for if it was, he was sure they would satisfy &Al':
pectations of the country.—( Cheers and disapprobation.)
