that the bill before the Senate prohibiting

Upper Canad4.-Sir Francis Head, the
new governor, who has been at variance
with the assembly ever since his arrival
in the country, has issued his procIama-
ton dIssolvlng the parliament and sum
mOning new one to meet on the 10th
, day ofJulynext. The affairs Of this pro.
vince are in a very disturbed condition
and the disposition manifested by the
smother country" to force the popular will
is daily severing the ties Of feeling, apc
must soon eventuate in an outbreak tha
will bring the people and authorities into
: serious collision. Experience is not al
ways admonitory to nations and ndiyidu
ais.

Delineation Of prejudice. The follow
ing forcible and beautiful delineation O
prejudice is ascribed to the celebrated DR.
o Price:
"Prejudice may be compared to a misty
$ morning in October A man goes forth
. to an eminence, and he sees at the SUNNI
ola neighboring hill figure, apparent
h of gigantic slature-for such the imperfec
;, medium through which he is viewed
would max him appear, He goes for
\ ward few steps, and the figure advance:
: towards him. The size lessons as they
d approach. They draw still nearer, ane
d the extraordinary appearance is gradually
but sensibIy diminished ; and at last they
o meet-and perhaps the person he had TAX
en- for a monster proves to be his owr
brother"
