THE COLONIES.

CANADA.
[From the Quebec Gazette.]

KINGSTON, (U. C.) MAY, 14.—Tiie Bill pass-
ed our Legislature in the year 1817, fur the in
-
Corporation of a Bank in Upper Canada, has re-
ceived. the Royal Sanction, but we believe it can-
not be acted upon, because it has remained under
consideration more than two years, the utmost
limit of the time prescribed by the Imperial sta-
tute of the 31st of the King, and also because the
lasusection of the Bill declares, that it must be
acted on before the first of January, 1819.--But
this is a circumstance of little moment ; ,for ad-
mitting that the Bill could be acted on the twenty
second section, whicir, we are crettibly informed,
was ik;sei red during its progress thtotigh the Elotise
of Assetribly•by the opposers of the measure, .eon,
tains Matter so objtc.ionahle as-effectually to pre•
vent aify person horn purchasing stock. Who,
• indee.t. would become a at ockh'ohler in a bank,
the whole transaction of which might be rendered
lbw subject of public scrutiny and debate in .Par 7
3iament at any time when a majority, inimical to,
!he Institution, might move for an inquivv. A
certain degree of privacy is undtmlyethy as neces-
sary for the management of the affairs of a Bank
as of any other establishment of a commercial na-
ture, and we believe that regulations similar to
those contained in the 22d section, are not to be
found in the charters all Batik in England,
except that of the Granil National Bank.
His Excellency Sit Peregrine Maitland has, by
a pi ociamation bearing date the 7 b inst. sum-
moned the Provincial Parliament to meet, for the
actual dispatch of , business, on Monday the 7th
Juice next

It is st ed that the lands in the township of
Seinnour are soon to be sold, and the p►oceeds to
be appropriated to the establishment of an Univer-
sity in this province.
The weather for some weeks past has been very
fine, and favourable for ploughing, and the sow-
►ng of spring grain, though the tarinvrs now be-
gin to feel the want of rain. We are happy to
learn from all parts of the District that the fields
of winter wheat never wore a more promising ap-

peat anee in cony spring than tile present one. -

MONTREAL, \IAY 22.---Pursuant to the act of
Incorporation, and the public advertisements, the
linnks for the 14;,chine Canal were opened here
on Th,nr.day last, the 2011. We are happy to
learn hat a very cOnsid..rahle part of the stock
was taken up the same day ; and the" anxiety
evinced by the motile, men to inveit capital its this
Lonli4ble undertaking, a, Burs well for its being
carried on With a d!..grie of alacrity proportioned
to its impot lance. ,
The tirrt general meeting of the Proprietors
and Stockholders of the Ch.mbly Canal, was
held in that village, on the 17th last, when the
Directors were appointed, and other measutes
adopted to forward that highly important under-
taking.

.It is a circumstance in this tragedy worthy of remembrance,
that before the catastrophe the passengers addressed them-
selves earnestly to prayer.--The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
was recited by Francois Quertier school master of St. Con-

most edifying piety.
St. Constant, May 17th, 1819. S. C. BLYTH.
A. Gentleman now in town is endeavouring to
engage one of the Steam-boats to tow a raft of
timber from .the mouth of the Richlieo to Que-
bec. The raft con►ists of 46 cribs which cover a
surface of 54 rods long by 9 rods wide, and was
towed by the Congress, a new Steam-boat on
Lake Champlain, 41 miles in 29 hours. Five
miles of the-distance was accomplished against a
head wind. It by the same means the timber on
'thtt borders of Lake Ontario can be ratted to
Kingstop, it will prove an almost inexhaustible
,source of commerce and wealth to that part of the
country.

NOVA SCOTIA.

HALIFAX, APRIL 20.

HOUSE OF AI.SEMBLY, APRIL 12.
The House wai motliocenpied,duilug the re-
mainder of the.'week in a Committee of Snpply ;
and on Saturday the .i•pprOpriation bill heing com-
pleted, and agreed' to by the Council, a Message
.was received„from his Excellency the Lieutencint-
90verpor„. requiring its immediate attendance in
the Council.ChaMber, when.tiie House attended
accordingly. - •
On the return-of the House, the SPEAkER stated
that his Excellency had given his assent to seve-
ra4 Bills which required his Excellency's signa-
't'ure ; and had been pleased to :mhke a Speech, of
which the following is a Copy
- - -

" Mr. PRESIDENT, and Gentlemen of his Majesty's
Council.
" Mr. SPEANEtty and Gentlemen of the House cf As-
' sembly:

I have observed, with great satisfaction, the
zealous and coutinued Attention xlticit 'um kitve

given to the public Service ,during this unusually
long Session 01 Assembly.
" VoUr loval - Address to his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent, on the death of her late Ma-
jesty the Queen, has been transmitted to his Ma-
jesty's Secretary of State.
" It is now my duty to express my sentiments
on the measures which have come under your dis-
cussion; and particularly those which appeared to
rue to deserve your serious consideration.

"The means you have provided for the found-
ing a College in Halifax, and for the forming a
Provincial•Agricultnral Society, are, I trust, suf-
ficient to enable
,me to accomplish the first ob-
ject ; and to meet with effect in tke other, the de-
sire'of the Country to promote its Agriculture:
Ido entertain-a cakedettrtfritpo4bat both of these
-InStitntions will prove, to he sources of
great and permanent. advantage to the Province.
"1 regret that the. alterations I suggested for
'votieenti.4derfaion, in the system of tMilitia,,and
tor the improvement 'of the,Puhlic Roads, have
not been adopted,. I regret this the more, that I
had been led to entertain better hopes in the com-
mencement df the Session, end because •I have
seen that my intentions have been entirely mis-
understood on both •subjecta.
I thank you for the supplies granted for the
Public Services of the year, and particularly for
the means you have placed at my disposal upon the
new line of road from Annapolis.
" I observe, with regret, that the appropria-
tion Act contains a Vote which I could not ap-
prove under any circumstances, much less under
the difficulties which are felt in a Revenue inade-
quate to the wants of the public Service. I meats
the 'addition at Pay to Members of the House of
Assembly; upon that point however, I have
yielded my own opinion in deferenCe to that of the
other two Branches of the Legislature.
"I have nothing now to recommend to your
More earnestly, than that, in returning to your
homes, you would animate in your respective
Counties the same loyal spirit which has &vie-
gtiished your proceedings iu Assembly ; and that
you would encourage that spirit of industry and

improvement in Agriculture, which appears to be
general at this time in the Province.
i, DALHOUSIE."

The SPEAKER then informed the House !hat the
President of his Mije,ty's Council, in pursuance
of his. Excellency's direct had prorogord the
Assembly until the Ist of August next ; and he
declared the House prorogued a► cordingly.
The Assembly have voted the sum of 2,0001;

towards erecting a College in this Town, agree.
ably to the recommendation of his Exerilency the
Governor, in his speech on opening the Session ;
and the stun of 1,5001. to be applied for the en-
couragementof Agriculture.

Several Bills, which had previously passed both
branches of the Legislature, were yesterday as-
sented to by his Excellency the Governor, in
Council. Among them was a Bill entitled, "An
Act for raibing an Additional Duty of Excise, and
for appropriating the same:"
By..this Act, an additional duty of 1 per cent.'
is Ilid.on all goods heretofore paying. a duty of
21 per rent. amounting to Si per cent, upon the
first cost.—And a further'duty of 5 per cent. upon
the' anionnt of duties hitherto paid upon wine,
brandy, molasses, sugar, and all other articles cal-
culated by weight or measure.
The Merchants of St. John, N. 13 at a Meet-
ing bell on 'the sth inst. resolved on forming a

" Chamber of Commerce," in that city, for " the
purpose of corresponding with similar Associa-
tions in the.SisterProvinces,-rind with.the Public

Depaitrnent in England; and; generally, to attend
to any matters that may.affect the Trade and Comn•
melte of the Province,"
A great number of emigrants from England have

arrived out this year• in the three Colonies, and if
greater facilities could be given to them in the
Mad Offices, so that they could obtain locations

without delay, it will be attended with great pub-
lic benefit.
'lke abandonment of the Fisheries to the Unit.
rd States has thrown a great gloom on these Pro-
vinces, and will, it is feared, exci•e their general
discontent. [To be continued]

A COMET. —A. Comet matte is appearance
about 15 degrees dsove our horizon late on Sa-
turday.night. The.sky was remarkably clear, and
groups of people were soon collected on the
bridges, 'watching and speculating upon the pro-
gress of the phenomenon. Its nucleus appeared
to the naked eye larger than any of the planets,
and the train which followed it seemed eight or
ten feet in length, and was perpendicular to the
horizon. Immediately near the nucleus sparkles
of fire were seen to issue from it, which, as well
as the nucleus itself, were perfectly blight. Vrons
its sudden appearance, and the length of the train,
it seems to be near its perihelion. Its progress
was North-east, and exceedingly rapid. The last
comet which was visible in our hemisphere was
that which appeared in our horizon just ht.fore
day-light on the Ist of September 1811, and which
was discovered at Viviers on the 25th of the pre.
ceding•Mareh. As the present comet is approach-
ing its perihelion, it will increase in splendour
'every night, until it be absorbed in the rays of
'the sun, which, on account of its velocity, will
be very soon. Whether or not it will be visible
after passing its perihelion, is a question for the
AStrononiers to explain. It is not to be doubted
that we owed in -a great degree to its influence
the excessive heat which was diffused yesterday
through the atmosphere. There was no oppor-
tunity of snaking any further observation as to the
'motion of the comet last night;. the evening set
in cloudy, and the northern quarter of the hea-
vens was particularly heavy.. It rained fur a part
v,f. the night..
