That the uncultivated state of the Island, the de.
premien of its trade, caused by unwise laws, ruinous treaties, re.
stricted commerce, the instability of property, the want of in-
struction of youth, and of an effectual Police, are principally to be
attributed to the absence of a legal organ of representation, cal-
' mimed to watch over the interests and promote the resources of
Ike country.

KINGSTON, OCTOBER 19.
We learn that it is in contemplation to assemble
our Legislature on the 31st November. It is rumoured
that the early period of this meeting is rendered ne-
cessary by the unpropitious result of the conferences
held at Montreal in the course of the summer, by the
Commissioners of the Provinces. So far from making
any arrangement, or seeming to desire it, it is said
that the Commissioners of the Lower Province, in a
spirit which most assuredly cannot be called amicable,
refused even to pay over the arrears which are unde-
niably due to Upper Canada.
It would appear they think, as they hold the purse-
strings, they can starve our Government into ac-
quiescence with any terms they may think fit to dic-
tate. It is, however, consolatory to know, that there
is a tribunal to which we can appeal, and to whose
award the Legislature of Lower Canada mug sub-
mit—that this tribunal will protect our rights, and
decide on the conflicting pretensions of the Provinces
with unerring justice and impartiality.
Since the commencement of the month the weather
has been very boisterous, and much rain has fallen.
During the last few days we have been visited by
frost, tali received timely warning to prepare our-
selves againt the rigour of winter.

A letter written on board the Dolorus, one of the
transports of Lord COCHRANE% fit•et, dated July 17,
after announcing the fall of Lima, and the hourly
expectation that the port of Callao would share the
same fate, thus concludes From. the aid which
the British have given in the liberation of Peru, I
am quite satisfied that they v‘ill have a preference to
all other nations."

The Princess AUGUSTA, we are happy to say, has
returned to England in the enjoyment of excellent
health, And has left her Royal relatives abroad in the
same state. Iler Royal I Ugliness dined on Tuesday
with the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the
King's Palace, Kmington. The Duke and Duchess
of CLARENCE learning the arrival of :heir Royal Sis-
ter in England, hastened to London yesterday morn-
ing from their residence in Bushy k, to congratu-
late her on her safe arrival, as did the Princess SOPHIA,
from the King's Palace at Kensington.
By different arrivals in London this morning, we
learn, that the thunder heard yesterday in the vicinity
of the Metropolis, was distinctly heard about the same
time seventy miles from town; and in many places
it was followed by a heavy rain, which lasted some
hours. Every arrival brings the most unpleasant
accou;As or the effects of the late continued rains..
The fens in Lincolnshire are above a foot under
water, and several small bridges have been destroyed.
Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated Oct. 20:
—" I mentioned yesterday, that a disturbance broke
out among the Candiot Turks, occasioned by two of
them having been shot by theguard, ior assassinating
some Greeks. The Candiots made it a pity cause,
and committed further assassinations two days ago,
setting the Authorities at defiance. They were, how-
ever, too few to do any general harm, and order has
been perfectly restored. About 200 Candiots, corm
prising nearly all the mutinous party, were, by the
determined conduct of the body of town Imissai ics,
embarked yesterday in two French merchant vessels,
under escort of two French Government store-ships,
which sailed immediately for Candi. Some other
strange Turks, who have been creating disturbances,
are also about to be sent away. The shops are re-
opened, and I hope things will go on well, though
we cannot expect perfect order to be maintained,
while this Paella remains among us. The Candiots
in a body assailed his house on the evening of the
17th, and a warm fire of musketry was kept up for
some time. Lives must have been lost on both sides,
but it appears not many in this affray. Next day the
Candiots, in strolling parties, murdered twenty or
.thisty Greeks. Yesterdir: they were put down,"
A German Paper contains the following letter,
dated Odessa, November 3 :
" The English Ambassador, Lord Strangford, who
enjoys extraordinary influence over the Porte, had
drawn up a Memorial in support of the Note lately
sent by the Reis Effendi to St. Petersburgh. This
Memorial, in which the cause of the Turks was de-
fended with the usual address, was presented to Count
Nesselrode by the English Ambassador at St. Peters-
burgh. Count Lieven, our Ambassador at theCoutt
of London was hereupon charged by the Emperor
to communicate to the English Cabinet the above-
mentioned Russian ultimatum, and at the same time
to declare that it was his Majesty's most ardent wish
that Lord Strangford, by his preponderant influence,
might succeed in inducing the Porte to accept the
equitable proposals of Russia (the two main points of
which are mentioned above. It is believed that our
Court will not willingly see a farther influence on
England in its differences with the Porte, unless it has
impartiality for its basis. But the Emperor Alexan-
der crowns his love of peace by the moderation which
he has chosen, and yet the Greeks would not be tabe
pitied, if they obtained in such a manner the intended
firm establishment of their civil rights."
