Quebec papers of the 6th di:atale that his Excellency Lord
Gosford had prorogued toe House of Assembly on the 4th of
that month, in con.equeuce of their determination to refuse the
supplies, in the following terms :
" Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,
" Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
_

" There being no longer any prospect of a good result from
the message which, by the commands of our most gracious
sovereign, I communicated a few days ago to the House of
Assembly, 1 hasten to put an end to this session, and to enable
you to return to your homes.
" The object of convoking the present parliament was to
make a renewed effort on the part of his Majesty to restore
some inter val of repose to his Canadian people. I lament,
however, that instead of awaiting the developement of those
measures which are in preparation, but which, to be effectual,
must be matured with time and attention, a more hasty decision
continues to be insisted upon, and the province is even threaten-
ed with the abandonment, by one branch of the legislature, of
the duties confided to it by the constitution. Without
dwelling on this inauspicious project, I will merely observe
that, if it be persisted in, the number of temporary acts in
Lower Canada, and the importance of some which ale, not long
hence, to expire, must give peculiar effect in this province to a
decision which, in no country endowed with powers of legisla-
tion, could be otherwise than a severe privation and a source or
public suffering.
" Gentlemen, in taking leave of you, I will only express the
hope I am unwilling to forego, that however the political em-
barrassments of the country may appear to multiply around us,
the inherent elements of prosperity and contentment which it
contains may triumph ouer all adventitious causes of difficulty.
" Clistle of St. Louis, Quebec, Oct. 4, 1836."
In addition to this, however, an American paper of the 10th
nit. states, confidently, that the Governor-in-Chief has abso-
lutely dissolved the House of Assembly in anger. If so, his
lordship's temporising has brought things to a pretty pass in
Lower Canada.

The following is a comparative statement of arrivals, &c., at

The harvest had not turned out so favourably as was antici-
pated, and the droughts during the early part of the summer
bad greatly limited the supply of lumber at the out-ports. Mo-
ney continued in full demand, and the Exchange on London
ruled at 101 per cent. Sovereigns continued to be worth
245. 3d. to 245. 4d. each. Montreal •Bank Shares are 29 per
cent. prem , and the- other banks are-10 per rent.
Guiana Chronicles to 6th of September have been received
here to-day; their contents are not important, but we learn
from the mercantile• letters that the commercial interests of the
colony were much satisfied with► the-promptness of the governor
for relieving ships on the arrival from the dela) and expense
attendant upon the supervision of an officer of health.

PROVINCIAL REGISTRATIONS.

EAST SURREY.—Messrs. Knox and Leonard sat at the Sea.
sisris House, Horsentortger-lane, for the revision of the lists of
county voters in the western division of the hundred of Brix-
ton. There was little diEference between the present lists and
those of the previous year. The'objections were compr.ratively
few, and were taken by the overseers, and not by either the
conservative or radical party. 't he lists of the parishes of Bat-
tersea, Wandsworth, Putney, Merton, Tooton, bledon, and
Peng►e having been gone through; the court adjourned.

BRIGHTON, Nov. 4.—The revision of the lists of voters for
this borough concluded last night, but nothing of interest has
occurred since our last report, excepting that in accordance
with the decision given on Wednesday, the claims of the com.
pound tenants have been disallowed. The consequenee is, the
radicals look uncominonly blue, as out of nearly 300 claims,
they have established but a dozen. The revision of the county
lists in this neighbourhood took place yesterday, before Mr.
Deeds arid Sir W. Kiddie, but there was scarcely anything to
do. It was held that a person who had changed his residence,,
and not sent in a fresh claim, was disfranchised.
CANTERBURY.--A Kentish paper gives the following as the
result of time registrations for the city of Canterbury, as far as
it as it had proceeded with up to Wednesday last :—COUSerra-
ti7e objections established, 42 ; radical ditto, 43.
Doven..—The conservatives have established a clear gain of
72 since the last election.
BATH.—The result of the registration is, that time conserva-
tives have succeeded in establishing 21 ciattus and 49 objec-
tions ; the radicals establishing 12 claims Slid 1 objecti,:n ;
making a balance iu favour of the conservatives of 9 claims
and 48 objections.
NORTHAMPTONsHIRE (SOUTHERN DIVISION.) —The nmnbers
objected to by the conservatives were 63, out of which 49 were
struck off. Those objected to by the radicals were 46, out of
which only 22 were struck off.
HUNTINGDON COUNTY.—The number of conservative ohjec-
tions made was - - -- - - ----- 165

Besides these there were a fewobjectionable b —250
y the overseers,
in consequence of which their names were expunged.
It will be noticed that the conservatives sustained more than
half of their objections, whilst the radicals succeeded in only
about one-third of heirs.—Cambridye Chronicle,
WEYMOUTIL—The barristets have lately gone through the
list of voters here. We are happy to say the conservatives
have gained 36, and that their cause is here iu a most flourish-

ing state.
CUMBERLAND.—The result of the revision stands thue.:—
The conservatives sustained above two-thirdiUf the objettions
made by them in the whole division, whilst the blue or radical
party were not able to sustain one-half of those to whom they
objected. Previous to the revision, the conservativei had
nearly 200 more claims than their opponents, which, added to
he majority in favour of conservatism at. the last election,
p,lmevceisol,NVest Cumberland out of harm's way.—Cumssrland
