THE COUNTRY VERSUS LONDON.

THE COUNTRY CONSTITUTIONAL GUARDIAN: AND

LITERARY MAGAZINE.

THE events of the 14th of. August have given
reason to dread the Influenza of a Metropolis, where
mob-law has been upheld by t►vo inquests;-and' the vast
majority of the yet uncontaminated Population resident in
the country can no longer tamely look on, and mark with
dangerous apathy the threatening steps of civil commotion
rapidly treading on the beels of the Constitution. The History.
of the World is little more than the detail of the factions and
exuherancies of the various seats of Empire. Political Asso-
ciations are but the airy castles of timidity; and the'mutually
atntsive jargon of the Metropolitan Journals is but the hum-
bug of trade, well understood by its 661 Proprietors, and
tending only to confuse and blister the Public Mind.
• From the SEcon CITY in the Empire, then, is about to
emanate the daring but fearless attempt of counterpoising
country opinions against those of a liCentious capital ; and of
counteracting the errors of therpress by the exercise of cutem-
porary powers. -

In the Metropolis itself, such an attempt wilVbe hailed
with pleastue by thousands; and in the country, it will be
supported by a spirit of emulation. .
" THE COUNTRY coNsTmmoNAL GUARDIAN"
will be printed and published by John Matthew Glitch (Pro-
prietor and Editor of Felix Farley's Bristol Journal) at
Bristol, on the tat day of every month, commencing in No-
vember next; but although printed there, published there,
and edited there, it has been found from custom and the
course of trade, that it can be circulated with greater punc-
tuality and at less expence from the Metropolis; Booksellers
therefore and News \Tenders will be pleased to direct their
orders to Messrs. Rivingtons', St. Paul's Church Yard and,
Waterloo Place, London ; by whom it will be supplied with
as much regularity,as other Per;odical Works. Price Two
Shillings. But all Communications (post paid) must be ad-
dressed solely to Mr. Gutch, at Bristol; or for
.the sake of
convenience, under cover to him, care of Messrs. Rivington.
And it is confidently expected, that as " The Country Con-
stitutional Guardian" is intended to express the sound sense
and loyal feelings of the " Country versus London," there
will be no wont of emulative coMmunications, on every point
in which the Constitution is concerned, whether of a grave,
argumentative, satirical, or playful nature.

MONTREAL, Aua. 18.—num.—Last Wednesday night at
about nine o'clock the tocsin sounded, and the inhabitants flock-
ing to the spot, found the houses of Messrs. Allison,Turner,
and Co. and Mr. St. Dizier, 'in St. Paul-street, (the latter oo-
cupied by Messrs. Scott and Spittal, and Mr. Peddie,) spout-
ing black smoke out of every aperture, while the extensive
stores in the rear were nearly filled with flame. In a moment
the, street became a scene of bustle and activity, the engines
were dragged down, lines formed to the shore, and the.6oth
Regiment, with extraordinary promptitude, marched down and
posted where they could be most useful. Notwithstanding, how.
ever, every exertion, all the
,bin.ldings just mentioned soon fell
a prey to the devouring elerner!t, and the utmost that could be
effected was to preserve the adjacent premises.—The following
is an account of the amount of the insurance, (the total of which
is greater than that of the loss sustained,) and of the property
ost and uninsured.

Consumed in thev.StoreS of Messrs. Allison, Turnet and Co.
1000 buShels of wheat, belonging to .Messrs. St. George and
Co. of York, tipper Canada-7700 bushels of wheat, and. 62.
pipes of Benecarlo wine,- belonging to M'Gill and Dowie—and
25 puncheons of rum, consigned to Mr. George Davis—all un.
insured. Mr. James Allison, inspector of potash, also lost
property to the amount of about 1501. and misses some chests,
which, if not saved, will make his total loss about 3001.
Of all the property contained in this large pile of buildings,
none was (we understand) preserved. but the good - of John
Scott, and Co. such was the rapidity of .destruction ; or, if any
little has been saved, it has been damaged so as to render it
nearly valueless.
. To conclude, it• has 7,0 t yet been ascertained where the fire
originated ; it is indeed agreed, by those who had an opportu-
nity of seeing it in its earlier stage, that it proceeded- from the
rear-buildings ; but none of the proprietors are able to form the
slightest conjecture how a large flame could instantaneously blaze
out without any known cause, at a season of the year when no
stoves are used, and when all business terminates with day-light
Suspicion, however, glances on no one.
, KINGSTON, (U. C.) AUG. 17.—1 n the beginning of last
week, Captain MacDonald, late of the 35th Regiment, a pro.
ptietor of lands in the new Township of Asphodel, had a happy
escape from a most painful and perilous situation. He was
logging a field with a yoke of oxen alone, and while drawing a
large log along the slope of a hill it rolled suddenly upon him-
and caught his feet, which it held fast jammed against the
stump of a tree. Every endeavour to extricate himself proved
fruitless, and he was compelled to suffer during twenty-five
hOurs the most excruciating pain? and most tormenting
thirst, with - scarcely a hope of relief. Fortunately a gen-
tleman living on an adjoining lot, .his only neighbour,
who had an appointment to meet him on business—after
waiting for him some time, went to his house, and after a little
search discovered him in the situation above described. We
are happy to learn that Captain NI. who is a most active and
valuable settler, is recovering, and that his foot and leg, though
severely injured, will probably be preserved. •
We observe statements in many American Papers of the
great aloindance of rain in the States of Ohio, Virginia, &c.
and of the damage done- by floods to milldams and
bridges. In this country we have no cause for similar. com-
plaints, since on the contrary the weather during the last three
weeks has been uncommonly, dry, as well as oppressively
The ground is parched. and the vegetables in the gardens droop
and wither from the want of moisture. The drought however
