CALAMITOUS FIRE AT QUEBEC.
12 00 NEARLY 2,000 DWELLING-HOUSES DESTROYED.
, PERSONS REDERED ALLY .
To the Right Hon. MICHAEL GIBBSTOT, Lord MayorDESTITUTE of the City of

, &.
Loan,—The recent Londoncalamitous&c., Firec at Quebec has destroyed
one-third part of the Clty. The scene of the Conflagration was
densely inhabited, chiefly by a labouring population of Canadian
French, who had crowded around the manufactories, and other
places of businesi, where they found employment. Their dwellings
and the establishments which enabled them to earn 'a mainte-
'MUM hare been destroyed together. In the brief space of twelve
laoun, property to the azeount of nearly a million has been destroyed,
and 12,000 human beings left without food, a roof, clothing, or a bed
to lie on. The fellow-colonists of the sufferers have exerted them-
selves nobly. In the course of a week upwards of 20,0001. was col-
lected in Quebec and Montreal, besides large supplies of provisions
and clothes. But even during that week it had been necessary to
expend one-fourth of the money subscribed to supply the daily wants
Of so many reduced to beggary. To rebuild the ruined quarters will
require much time as well as money, and in a few months a Canadian
Winter will close in upcn this mass of destitution. The necessity of
the case has compelled the Citizens of Quebec to appeal for assistance
to their fellow-subjects in the mother country and sister colonies.
Under these circumstances the undersigned respectfully request that
Your Lordship will be pleased to convene a Meeting of Merchants,
tankers, and others, to originate a Subscription for the relief of the
sufferers in Quebec, and that you will also be pleased to preside on
the occasion.

TIDE NASSAU BALLOON.
Mr. Green is attracting the public again,
By taking an aerial night, now and then,
Two journeys last week did he make iu his car,
And travers'd the heavenly regions afar.
Well, what's to be said on a silken balloon ?
Don't fear, gentle reader, we'll show very soon ;
While gazing on Green in his lofty position.
We could not help calling to mind competition
Competition we mean in a general sense,
Which strives to attain to a " height " most immense—
We can't avoid smiling at what has been done,
To rise o'er the fame of E. MOSES and SON.
Competition puffed out like an " airy " Balloon,
Will " sink " in the public esteem very soon,
And "fall to the ground," amid laughter and joke,
And end all its " lofty pretension in smoke !"
Not so ,s ith the Warehouse of MOSES and SON,
This will still stand as " high " as it always has done ;
Ev'ry day it is " rising" in public esteem,
While Its prices are " falling " as "low" as "our" theme.
With this we conclude the few rhymes we have spun,
T On the " Nassau Balloon," and E. MOSES and SOS.

October,9, 1844.
Sir,—For, the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a ne
?yowl deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
earhlg. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom . I de-
red scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
trY your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
• 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
mention eompletely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
cation that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
tee
last, and have continued taking it since.--I am, Sir, your obe-
olent servant, W. H. ADAMS.
