We hardly know in what terms to speak Of this in
valuable publication which establishes its claims pa
patronage upon every class Of society, from the hum
blest to the highest. There is scarcely subject Of
general interest to the American upon which this work
has not useful information its peculiar value consists in
the time and labor saved by finding in the small CON-
pass Of single book, what has been collected from
perhaps thousand and what must have required vast
labor and excellent judgment in the selection and
rangement. In word il is a manual for the phi
anhropst, the patriot and the Statesman, well as the
scholar, and general reader.
We cannot forbear TO mention one subject, upon
which the reader will find much useful nformation--a
subject that is likely to enter largely into all future e
gislatiye discussions both state and NATIONAL viz pau
pers 4 aliens. The information conveyed this
subject, is worth the price Of the book.

GALE AND Loss OF LIFE,-On the Esd
nit there was tremendous gale at Buffalo.
We extract the following from letter
BurrALo, Thursday morn. 25d Nov. 81.
Have lust returned to my office after
witnessing series o fmost appalling scenes
and find myself 50 much agi,ated that can
scarcely wrIte cohercn'ly. Another fear.
fol gale last nigh, swept down the lake ov,
er our haybor and city, boalng destruction
on it's wings and death in its nostrils.--
The storm commenced at dark and ragged
till midnight From the light house cast
to the foot Of Main street, ncluding both
sides Of the creek, the ruin is dreadful--
docks up;uGned and floa'cd awav--water
craft fall dImGns ons, from the yaw to the
large steamboat and shp--al damned in on
the north side Of the creek, all some injur-
ed, and many Of them destroyed But most
horrid of all--from the slender neck of land
which you recollcct runs between the lake
and creek to the light house, six tenements
were entirely swept away, two others over
thrown, and all supposed to have been &C.
cupled. Where or hOlo the wrctched oc-
cupanIs are none can tell but probably
carried by the rushing he subs idlng wa.
tors down the creek into the broad Nngra.
The fughtful effects of the storm were
most severely felt, too, along the river, as
far down as opposite the churches, in one
instance family of ten in that direction,

fearful sight. And the coroner and SEX

twelve or fifteen other lives lost-,hoso

chiefly laborers, and where life has been
spared, the little that they had gathered
for the winter is all gone May their
groans be heard and their wants ieeliugly

that our citizens will come forward imme-

We make the following extract from the
Montreal Herald Of the 30th Nov. The
article is addressed to Lord Goslord. for
the purpose of producing in him prompt,
and more decisive action. The facts and
the arguments OF the writer may aid our
readers in coming to correct conclusion
as to The present condition of things, and
the prospect for the future. Abiding TO
the Patriots, the writer says;
Their sole resource, therefore, is to har
ass Her Majesty's troops and 'the English
inhabitants in tn province by desutory
and predatory wariare,--a plan, which,
under the existing laws, may enable the
brIgands to inilct much injury and incon.
vOniencc on others with hllle danger or
trouble to themselves. They may cut off
all communication between Montreal and
Quebec or oven between Montreal and
any other place whatever they may rob
every mail of letters and money they may
capture, insult and murder every indivldu,
al loyallst, who may be fool hardy enough
to trust himself beyond the reach of Her
Mojestys guns and they may keep this
city in perpetual dread Of thevish incur
sion during the whole winter by day ADD
