fallacies. In this case, as in most others, ignorance
hitherto appears to have been. the chief element of all
the wrong, both borne and inflicted. Discussions,.
however, such as this, to which we draw the attention
of our readers, contain the seeds of improvement, and '
tend, by supplying sound information- on the subject,
to correct many popular errors.
The depressed state of agriculture permits not a
postponement of its consideration. The time is now
come when the bull must be taken by the horns—
when the relative condition of landlord and tenant
must be altered—and the broad principle upon which
rent is adjusted must be ascertained. Herein lies
the only source of -relief. To look for any sensible
relief from Legislative enactment were worse than idle.

FINE ARTS.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE LITERARY

SOUVENIR.
Whittaker, London. 1835.

These illustrations, which are all on steel, are
twenty-four in number—a most handsome allowance—
and are, for the most part, executed with first-rate
ability. We will not say that they are superior to their
predecessors, but they are quite as good, which is
saying as much as can reasonably be urged in their
favour ; for the Souvenir has always been celebrated
for the variety and excellence of its embellishments.
" Cupid and Psyche" is an elaborately finished en-
graving by Hollis ; though we cannot say as much for
the original design by Westall. " Pysche " has too
Much of a wild stare in her countenance, which
ill becomes the Goddess of Love, in its more
spiritual character. The limbs'of the sleeping Cupid
are well developed. " Nobody coming to Marry me"
tells its own story in the disconsolate looks of one of
the prettiest girls we have seen this many a year. She
need not, however, despair of a suitor, so long as Ire-
land contains seven million of susceptible Pats. Out
of the thirty-six joints that compose Daniel's tail, we
verily believe there are not more than two, who would
not gladly elope with this languishing young beauty.
Let her cheer up, then, and look about her. The
engraving is a very graceful one, though there is some-
thing of stiffness in the trees in the back-ground.
" Entrance to a Greek City" is rich in the splendour
of domes, temples, gorgeous palaces, and lengthened
colonnades ; and would be perfect in its way, were
there not rather too much crowding and confusion
of objects. " Night" is a lovely scene, breathing the
true spirit of the picturesque, and reminding one, not
unfavourably, of Claude's manner. The scene is one
of perfect repose. The " Unfortunate Author" is a
felicitous conception by Newton, and well worked out.
An enthusiastic poet is boring some unhappy gentle-
man with a new poem, or tragedy, or love tale ; fain
would the unwilling listener escape, but he cannot ; and
you read as much in his face, which is a very title-
page of tribulation. If any thing can justify murder,
an infliction of this sort can. Were the gentleman to
,
put the author to death for nis pertinacity, no rational
jury could possibly think of bringing in any other ver-
dict than " justifiable homicide." The tale is, told
with considerable humour. " Rouen" is in Roberts's
best manner ; and " Italian Peasant Girls" full of the
simplicity of truth and nature. When the volume of
the " Souvenir" reaches us, we may speak more at
length on the subject of these illustrations. Till then,
his hasty notice must suffice.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There ere only moderate arrivals of Grain this week and a scanty
return of Flour. The trade for Wheat continues unaltered, and
superfine supports our last currency. Barley, Beans, and Pease,
unaltered. Oats are in good demand this morning, and as the
supply is short this article fully maintains Monday's terms. Flour

South American Coffee House to the 6th of November, and

By a Proclamation in the Upper Canada Gazette, the Le-
gislature of that province is further prorogued to the Ist of
December next.
The Quebec Papers of the 3d of Nov. state, that " both
Houses of the Provincial Parliament are now engaged in ar-
ranging their further proceedings. The address in answer to
the Speech has not yet been presented by either House. That
from the Legislative Council will be considered to-day in the
Lower House."

THE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 918 ?2, for the Account,
and 914 for Money, opened this morning at 91i for Money and
911 -a for Account. This heaviness of the Market may be attri-
buted to the prices coming lower from Paris ; as well as the
receipt of New York Papers to the Wth ult., which are not of
a pacific nature, on the subject of their diferences with the
French Goverment. We find they are making preparations in
their sea ports in case of a war ; some of their papers admitting
at the same time that they are not capable to cope with the
French Navy, and that they therefore entertain hopes that
hostilities will be averted. Omnium 39 prem. ; Exchequer

guese Stock. The former have receded from 451 to 44i 4.51 ;

Letters were received, on Monday morning, from
Captain Tyler, R.N., Lieutenant-Governor of St. Vincent's,
whose death was stated to have taken place some weeks
back. That gentleman was in good health.—Devonport
Independent.
THE TITHE CAMPAIGN.--The Rev. Mr. Scott,
of Killygan Glebe, has commenced an active prosecution
for the recovery of tithes. This led to a most numerous
and respectable meeting of the people of the neighbour-
hood, when resolutions were entered into, strongly depre-
catory of the iniquitous system. A subscription was then
entered into to meet the expenses of the latitats, &c. Thus
it would seem that two parties can play at the game had in
view by the Protestant Lay. Association.—Pilot.
There is a feeling of deep concern in the minds of
those interested in the Greenland trade, not only on ac-
count of the poor success which has attended the whole
fishery this year, but now more especially from the circum-
stance that eleven vessels are still unaccounted for, and the
fear that some or all of them may either have been lost or
are ice-bound.
