JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.,
Dear Sir-As perceive you have correspondents
in almost every nook and corner Of the world ex-
cept Canada, and your journal is extensively
read, and anxiousy looked for, occasional letter
that would keep you informed OF many eveats that
you cannot CLEAN from our newspapers, might prove
acceptable 10 you and your thirty-thousand r. adj
ers'' as Bishop Hughes says. If you consider this
worthy of place in your columns, i shall often
trespass your good nature.
The weather is opp.essivey hot at present, al
though very favorable for the agricuurist, and the
prospect OF the harvest is most iatiering In har-
vesting and farm work generally, we are about
fortnight behind our neishbors the opposite
American shore.
The Governor General still manages to carry on
the government Of the Province without ministry
possessing the confidence Of the people, and COM
plants on the subject are beginning be general.
Both parties think that movement OF some kind
should be made, and areinaturally impatient at the
long delay His Exceency will soon have 10 call
Parliament together, as the time allowed by the
constitution has nearly expired, and he will have
TO form administration ere that event takes
he can help 1t, and IN all probability the people will
not support his one; $50 that he is in regular
fix, and we have very pretty prospect ahead.
The old gentleman deserves better fate than The
one before him, he has displayed throughout the
whole quarrel the most ndomltabe couragesan per-
severance The conduct OF the late ministry since
the rupture, has doubtless embttered him towards
them. Instead OF acting temporarily and modestly,
as the occasion demanded, they have gone about
the country holding public meetings, and spouung
sedi,ion 10 the r followers.

days, and the return OF which is always dreaded
passed off unusually quiet this year The annlyer-
sary OF the battle OF the Boyne has invariably been
attended by riot and boodshed, and the peacefully
disposed well satisfied TO sink merit
ed oblivion. The most laughabe event-hough
at the time rather serious-!hat occurred on that
day, was at the Fails OF Niagara A large uarty
left Toronto and Hamilton for the Falls
early III the morning, 10 celebrate the day in
a convivial and patriotic manner. Behold their
| astonishment, when they approached their des-
uhalion, 10 ind drawn up on the celebrated
heights of Queenston between one and two thou
sand "nauves'-not "Native Amercans"-but
stout hearted, hard listed sons oil the sod, armed
with sucks, shovels, axes, scythes, guns, pistols,
and ''murlhern" shlIlelahs. The gallant Orange
men rather dlsconcerted al such manifesto
non, and some actually took across the river aud
claimed the protection OF your glorious stars aud
srlpes," where, had their opponents followed them,
we would in all probability have heard OF a small
edition Of the Philadelphia riots. The Catholics
had more sense, however, and conten,ed them
selves with making those who did remain shout
Justify for O'Conne, and "long lie 10 the Pope :"
| The admirers OF King William and his 9 glorious
| and Immortal memory" forgetting their old war
cry Of "No Surrender" actually shouted tor their
natural and lnveterate enemy loudly their ter
ror would permit them. All ended tiyhowever-
The Catholics made tracks tor the "Dogs" OF the Well
| land canal, and the Orangemen returned home,
rather chop.iallen TO be sure, but swearing
geance some subsequent occasion. "Revenge

There is greater affinity Of feeling between us

ll,ica and general affairs asyou do yourselves, and

for .Clay and Frelinghuysen" as the most moor

| friendly feelings are now cultivated between the
| two countries, and IN lew short years you will
hardly be able TO tell IN your peregnnatons through
this part OF TIE continent, whether you tYeacng
the soil of John Bull or Uncle Sam. We are seri-
and attentive observers OF the late progress OF
events IN Philadelphia, and the whole o. lie intel

and learn us 10 admire your independence and can

this town on Thursday nexi, for Sacketi's HaIbor,
and as intend going will in my next give you
slight sketch OF our reception, and OF The general
events OF the day
A great many Of your citizens, from the sunny
South, have passed through Kingston on their way
TO and from the Falls. The beautiful scenery If

week, on his route westward, and Rodney's com

our Parliament, levyng duty on horses travelling
through the Province, having been nulllhrd by the
Governor-General. j his will be quite a God.send

not uncommon at this season Ci the year. The
forwarding trade will soon take start, the har-

The Irregudrty Of the American malls source
