Jas we learn by the Kingston British Whig) that
the Home Governmenthav it in serious contempla-
ton to unite the whole of the Moth American Bri-
tish provinces under one Government, having at its

Quebec is said 10 be the seat of Government, and
Governors 10 be appointed at Toronto, Frede-
rckton, Halifax, st. Johns, IN. F. and Char
lottestown (P. E.) to administer the laws of each
province separately, until the whole are consoldat-
ed into statute-book, when other arrangements
will be made 1t is also said that the detention of
Lord ELaN in England is occasioned by the ne
cessity of his continual presence at the Colonial Of
flee, where Mr.. BUTLER has charged himself with
the details and working plans of this very compre-
hensivc scheme.
Ii is further said that the Ministry have il in con-
temptation to consolidate the whole of the remain
ing British possessions in America under another
Viceroy, the seat of whose Government is to be
Jamaica, with local administrators at all the other
West India Islands, including the Bermudas; and

The New Brunswick g FREEDMAN Of Wednes-

that State, says:
Either the Wings Of New Jersey were more
discreet than usual in selecting their candidates for

people more discriminating for certain it is that
never before, in well-dispued contest, have the
Wings succeeded by such perfectly crushing odds.
