WEATHER IN CANADA.--During thu past month
OF September, the weather has been vet, stormy
and disagreeabe. Hardly two days of consecutive
fine weather have been enjoyed; but in lieu, ram,

fresh from England in Canada, would have thought
himself in another portion Of that Island instead Of
meeting with, of which he had doubtless heard SO
much at home, the bright blue skies and almost
eternal sunshine Of an Upper Canadian Autumn.
All this, however, may come In due season, but the
lnauspcious commencemnt of the present month,
October, does not promise greatly.-Kingsf0n, Ca
