We have Quebec Papers to the I 1 th October. The
reports of the cod fishery at Bay Chaleur and Labrador
were favourable• It was reported that Mr. Galt was
about to publish a history of Canada. The markets con-

Oats, Is. 3d. to Is. 6d.

The advices received from the Russian capi-
tal this morning, down to the sth instant, state
that the frost had again set in, and it was ex-
pected that the bridge across ►.he Neva would be
down on the day the accounts left. The Tallow
and other produce, which had been sent down to
be put on board shipping, since last post, was
compelled to he brought back, the ice destroying
all the small craft, The:,3, steam-boat could
not proceed to Crenstadt owing to the ice
on the bar, and it was feared that the
British ships rem,;ining would have great
difficulty in getting away. There had been
a severe storm en :he night of the 3d, which,
however, had not done much damage. There
were five degrees of frost on the 4th, with the
wind blowing north-east.

We have much pleasure in directing attention
to a very spirited and eloquent letter, upon the
wonderful advantages which must ensue from
the application of steam to inland communication,
by means of rail-roads. We would gladly en-
large on this most interesting and national
topic, but want of space forbids. In the mean-
time we shall be happy to hear again from our
intelligent correspondent Alpha, whose enthu-
siasm is second only to his patriotism.

THE FOG.—The tog of this morning was the
intensest we ever remember to have seen, and fully sus-
tains the character of November for this species of atmos-
pheric annoyance. Up to nearly half-past twelve o'clock,
candles were lighted at almost every house and shop in
the Strand ; and people went groping their way along the
streets in perfect ignorance of their locality. About one
o'clock, something in the shape of a sun-beam came out, but
instantly went in again ; nor did day begin to make its
appearance till nearly two o'clock, about which time the
fog went out of town. At the hour at which we are now
writing, (three o'clock), the street' are tolerably clear of
vapour.

EXTRACT FROM MR. O'CONNELLS
SPEECH AT THE JOSEPHIAN ORPHAN SOCIETY.-(From
the Dublin Morning Register of Wednesday)—" It is
impossible that Ireland should continue a province. She
has twice as much population, and capabilities for inde-
pendence as Portugal, which is an independent State. She
has within herself twice as much political power as Spain,
which is an independent State. It exceeds infinitely in power
independent States in Italy. It has more population and
energy than Prussia, which has made a great figure in the
modern history of the world. It has more combination of
strength and political power than the new kingdom of the
Netherlands, whose broken-faithed Monarch has trampled
upon the religion of his honest-hearted and confiding sub-
jects. It has more strength than Sweden, Denmark, or
twenty republics of South America—even the glorious
eagle of North America cannot look upon the sun of
liberty with a more firm eye, and the beams of freedom
would be as little like to dazzle the sight of infant Ireland.
rising in all the strength of native combination.—(Cheers.)
—Of my country I have never despaired—l have never
despaired of her, when I could not get Arne five or six
men together. We were a species of political outlaws—
we were scarcely noticed, and the only attention paid to us
by the Orangemen, was to manifest how utter was their
contempt for us. Almost the entire press was against us,
and those who ventured to take our part were consigned
to the dungeon's gloom, where the life was exhausted from
honest JOHN MAGER, for daring to be true to Ireland,
and where died Ilitou FITZPATRICK, the venerated father
of a respectable family—the last martyi to Ireland,—
(Cheers.)—At that period, there was combined against
us the government, the castle, the police, the yeomanry,
the law, and toe church, and with all these against us, and
.
the majority ofthe people of England, whose mistaken pre-
judices were arrayed against us ; and yet, from small be-
ginnings, we encreased and became of so much importance
as to carry our emancipation "—(Hear, hear.).
THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH AND
GERItAN ROAD,—In a novel just published, entitled,
" Stories of a Bride," is a ludicrous description and a
serious adventure, such as is usually incident to travellers
who venture into the interior of Germany, where roads,
horses, and postillions, are of the most uncivilized de-
scription. It is well known that Dr. MARSH, the present
Bishop of Peterborough, was much in that country
during his former days. It chanced upon one occasion,
when travelling post, that his carriage was upset, and his
Lordship, then plain Mister, safely grounded in the mire.
On remonstrating with the driver for his negligence and
stupidity, the driver doggedly replied, that they, always
upset there! The same accident beftl a reverend friend
of the narrator's some years after in precisely the same
spot, which, when relating to the Bishop, brought forth
the relation of his Lordship's mishap —Stamford News.
The following new figure of speech occurs in
a morning paper's account of the accident to Mr. HIGGS,
the Ccrnner lie was coming from a gentleman's
house in Cannon-row, Westminster, when, the stepS of
the door being muddy, his foot slipped, and he received
a severe fall."
A few days ago, no less than three persons,
two females and one man, were brought before the sitting
Magistrate at Londay, charged with attempts to destroy
themselves. One of the Justices observed, that suicide
was becoming so common, that there was no chance of
elreckitig it without making it a capital offence.— York
