MR. t DITOit,-Although I am net angwerable
for the •erroneont coucinsions drawn by SCRUTA-
'rot' from my letteri Under my present 'signature,
rather titan my silence Shall he deenied afn admis•
lion of their truth, which I deny, I now solemnly
declare, that I am not a SoblietAtr, which he
falsely and feebly called me, and wbicti will
well become him not to repeat. I have been
taken from my subject of Mr. I3ELLAMY:s Trans.
Latina to notice him, while he has run from it on
the subject of faith, which has not a scintilla to
do with it, and his discernment is too short to see
that if I deserved the name he has 'most unjustly
given me, I could not admire a book which shews
the translator to be a believing Christian ;
book, the spirit and language whereof, the nearer
it draws to the divine original, has always been
the pride of my studies, and nothing but its verbal
errors has been my lamentation. These are not
to he Abet ibe'l to the book, but its translators,
and now it is about to be improved in words
only, it will, kvhen finished, command the admira-
tion of the Christian world ; leaving out ail en-
vious and interested, characters, who may call it,
in their conceit, the fruit of a blighted tree. I
wish SCRUTATOR'S unhandsome effusions towards
me had not obliged me to treat them as I have
done. It is really painful, and as he has read my
letters in yowr Journal on the Rohm Catholic
Question, I icier him to others of mine in that
excellent Paper, under the signature of Art OLD
BARRISTER, CLIO, MONTESQUIEU, MAYNARD, A
SERJRANT-AT-LAW, FATHER O'BLAZE, with some
verses tinder that of AN OLD PORT. These may
chasten his opinion of me, founded in the harmless
errors of his bead, or the mistakes of his heart,
against Your's,

CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS IN UPPER CANADA.

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Ancaster, to his
Friend in this Tuwn, dated Nov. 2u.

" I am in hopes, from the contemplated im-
provements that are to take place in our vessels,
and in. the removal of the obstructions in the na-
vigation, that our journies will be, ere long, made
much shorter and less dangerous than hitherto.—
Our Parliament has petitioned our Lieut.-Qovernor
to grant 100,000 acres of wild lands,tor the purpose
of creating a fund to be laid out in improving the
navigation of the St. Lawrence.---A subscription
paper is also in circulation, to get a steam-boat of
the largest class built, to ply round every part of
the lake to Prescott. This scheme has met with
genet al patronage. Two other steam-boats are
to be built this winter at Prescott, to ply on the
lake St. Francois and the St. Louis. The builders
propose to peitorm the voyage from La Chine to
Prescott (when this arrangement is perfected),
with Durham boats, carrying 14 tons of merchau-
dize, in five days. We shall, I hope, another year
have it in our power to redeem from obloquy the
character of the Upp:r Canada flour, as the qua-
lity of the grain is fine as well as abundant, and
many millers appear to feel the absolute necessity
of change in our mode of manufacturing."

MISS SOMERVILLE.
