The French Papers that were duelast night have oot
yet arrived ; and, is consequence of dam *briny weather
of last night, we are without any Mails up to
Os time of going to Press.

The meeting of Parliament is 'lain postponed!
—We cannot express our approbation at this elonga-
tion of encroachment on the already limited sea-
son, for pondering on, and deciding, the affairs of
this mighty empires there is much to be done, and
time to do- it in is essential. Though the portentous
nature of general politics demand the first attention of
the Government, and the support of us—the dirActors
of that mighty engine, inferior to none but the execu-
tive power of Administration, the Pustsc Paces—let,
in the midst of matters of more show and grandeur,
gladly should we welcome the return of our honest
friend the ic.Member of Galway, again to exert his
wholesome powers in protecting the brute creation from
the hand of human monsters. In spite of the manner in
which he overstrains his exertions, and in spite of sense-
'less ridicule and jeatous,envy, we always liked Mr.
.MARTIN; and again we say we should welcotois his
return from the shores of France, to his old pillar in
St. Stephens.

While paltry, and what is worse, covert means are
employed by ignorant and by interested persons to run
down the high character, importance, and utility of the
Newspaper Press; and while too many of that body
abuse the influence with which they are endowed, and
prostrate their powers to degrading purposes; it gives
us pleasure to see ptiblie and high spirited men, come
forward and give birth to independent and creditable
publications. •
We cannot resist the pleasure of extracting from the
twat Number of a new Paper called The Coventry
observer, and published in the large city whose name
it bears (and which fell accidentally into our hands
through the kind attention of a friend), a passage,
which we deem most appropriate to the 'present state
of the Newspaper Press, and to th-se who decry it
ar
N Mir any city or district a Newspaper is to be established by
one al these Opinion-mongers, previous to commencing business,
the qmistion with them is not what Moe of pada Can we pursue
most advantageous to the country? or what system can we adopt
most consistent with newspapers already in our bands? but, what
is the course must likely to pot money in our pockets? for this pur.
pose, the political groom/ of t►e locality is carefully surveyed, its
• edll and atmosphere minutely analysed, and the principles distinctly
ascertained, whose seed is, when sown, most likely to ripen into a
rich and speedy harvest:
