Halifax Papers have also arrived this morning to the
litlief May, from which the following are extracts :

The Americans have been very successful in their
fisheries at New South Shetland, discovered last year,
by Capt. Smith, of Liverpool. Sixty-five thousand seals'
skins, brought from thence, have been advertised for
ale at Stunington, Connecticut, exclusive of those
taught by Tenets of other Ports. The ship Ann, and
brig Lady Trowbridge, of Liverpool, (England), and
ship Clo►hier, from Salem, were totally lost on that de-
solate coast, in December last. Crews saved.

The St. Kitts paper contains a Proclamation of his
Donor, Delap Wilson, Esq. Commander•in-(thief fur
the time being in and over St. Christopher's, Nevis,
Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands, allowing, for the
space of six months, from 26th of February, 1421,
staves, heading, boards,timber, and lumber of all sorts,
to be imported from any Island in the West Indies, under
the dominion of any foreign European Sovereign, or
state, into the said island of St. Christopher, by British
subjects, and in British vessels, owned and navigated
according to law.
New Brunswick papers have likewise arrived to the
9th Maw, front which we extract the following :
Lertost TOR NEW HRENSWICR STAR, lIAT
Extract of a letter from a Member of Parliament of
London :—" I am now happy to inform yon that the
Chamber of the Board of Trade has signified to me
that an order will be made at the next meeting of the
Council, for making St. Andrew's a free port, and
placing it in all respects, on the same footing with
ii.alifax and St. John's."

In cAlling to onr recollection, during the present
pause in the proceedings of Parliament, the measures
that were meditated fur the amelioration of the coun-
try, the first that must occur are those which relate to
the improvement of our Criminal Code, to the educa-
tion of the people, and to the asnendment of the laws
for the relief of the poor. These are objects of un-
ques•ionable importance in every State ; and in our
colutry. at the prevent period, from circumstances
too obvious to need pointing oat, they have become of
-erosliar aid of urgent moment ; and had appeared I
snore lihcly than any other to have obtained that coon-
tertAnce and concurrence which were necessary for
their accomplishment. The labours of Sir SAMUEL
itostmLy in the first of these great works, carried on
for years with all that judgment. firmness and perse-
veranPe for which he was distinguished, had gra-
dually and extensively prepared the way for the exer-
tions of his successor ; and the attempts of Sir
JAMES Mscntsyroen had, this Session, been renewed
under auspices which promised complete success. How
next' the effort. of this worthy Member became em-
barrassed in his progress ; how much his purposes be-
Caine con•racted or sacrificed ; and how severely his
principal aims were defeated in the end, are einem-
.stanees too recent and too mortifying to detail. From

ler of the learned profession, who bad long devoted
