tbe left arm was bent, and a large cotton umbrella in the grasp.He was then taken to tbe market, where tbe King was seated on a raised platform, from which he was u.kiug to the people much 4 war palaver,\u2019 and promising them an attack upon Abbeokuta, in November.Cowries, clotb and rum, were then distributed, lu front of the marketplace rows of human heads, fresh and gory, were ranged, and tbe whole piaoe was Saturated with blood, tbe heads evidently belonging to some oi tne Ishagga-prisoners who had been killed during the night, after having been tortured in the most frightful manner.Until July lOtb, Mr.Euschart was ordered to remain quiet in bis bouse, and not to move or look out alter sundown.July It): The ground ebook violently\u2014evidently, from the date, tbe effect of the earthquake felt at Accra.Mr.Euschart was at once brought to tbe market place, where he found tbe King again seated on the raised platform, surrounded by Amazons ; tbs Ling told him that tbe grouud shaking was his father# spirit, complaining that 4 Customs were not made proper.\u2019 Three Ishagga chiefs were then brought before tbe King, and told they were to go and tell his father that \u2018 Customs should be better than ever.\u2019 Each chief was then given a bottle of yum and a bead (d cowries, and then decapitated.Twenly-fonv men were then brought out, bound Ik baskets, with tbeir beads just showing 0UL ^nd placed on tbe platform in front o the King.They were then thrown down to the people, who were dancing, singing, and yelling below ; as each man was thrown down, he was seized and beheaded, the heads being piled in one heap, and the bodies in another ; every man who caught a victioi and cut off tbe bead received one bead of cow ries (about 2s) After all were killed, Mr.Euschart was conducted home.July li : Taken to another part of tbe town, where exactly similar horrors were being perpetrated.July 12 : All the platforms were taken down, and the programme appeared to be firing guns, siugieg and dancing all dav ; there were no more public sacrifices for ten days, but it is supposed many took place during tbe nights, July 22nd : Taken to see the \u2018 Grand Customs,\u2019 at the Palace of the late King, at the gate of which two platforms bad been erected : on each platform 16 men and*fonr horses were placed .inside the house was placed another platform on which were placed 16 women, four horses and an alligator.The men and women were all Sierra Leone people, captured at Ishagga, aud were dressed in European clothes, each group of 16 men seated or rather bound in chairs placed round a uble on which glasses of rum were placed for each.The King then ascended the platform, where he-adored tbe Dabomian fetish, and seemed to make obesiaoce to tbe prisoners, whose right arms were then loosened, to enable them to take up the glass and to drink tbe King* health.After the King\u2019s health had been drunk, tbe effects of the late King were paraded and worshipped by tbe people as tbey passed ; a grand review of the troops then commenced, and, as each marched past, the King harrangued them, and promised tbe sack of Abbeokuta in November.Nearly the whole of the troops wore fire-arms ; a few select corps had rifles ; but the greater part were armed ' ' with flint-lock muskeU.The artillerv consisted of about 24 guns (12-pounders.)

but, we will venture to affirm that in ninety-nine cases ont of every hundred, it has improved both the head and the heart o r its possessor.It is true it will not give worldly experience : bat it gives the means of using that experience, when combined, in an infinitely greater degree than when the world-taught knowledge comes unqualified by the refining process of mental cultivation.If we may believe onr school-boy friend, the polished scholar will not manure or till h» field the worse for his ability to make a Latin hexameter, or to trace his tuphtkeaomai from its root.These are things which form no burthen either to the shoulders or to the mind\u2014to the one they are as nothing, while to the latter, they are a spur, a solace and a pride\u2014a gratification that is hourly felt and unattainable from any other source than the possession of the power by which it is created.The Morrin College, the inauguration of which took place on Thursday evening, supplies a vacuum in the superior educatioa of Quebec that has long been felt Dr.Cook judiciously remarked that our young men required more mental cultivation as the country progressed in wealth and importance ; that men who held its destiny should themselves possess that noble ambition which the cultivation of the liberal sciences is truly calculated to inspire.We are delighted to learn from the Principal\u2019s speech that the College will be conducted upon the most open and liberal footing\u2014that sectarianism will be eschewed, and its K*Ha kept free and untainted from polemic strife, injurions alike to the object of the in solution, and the happiness and sound proficiency of the discipuli.We most sincerely wish the Morrin College the prosperity and eclat which iu very able and worthy Principal pres to us in his own person the assurance ot a full attainment.done, as we sometimes see it, upon a larger scale, with some two or three thousand dollar stocks, the matter becomes one of serious consideration to the resident trader.It must be presumed that to the extent of the sales made by these non-residents is the business of the resident trader injured ; while in a point of economics the city suffers by the abstraction of much floating capital.We may be told that the amount taken away from the regular retail business of the city by the auction sales of these itinerant merchants is too small to affect the regular trade.We happen, however, to know to the contrary ; and to those who have no more conclusive mode of judging than from what is patent to everyone, we would point out the costs that are often incurred to carry out these speculations.The renting of expensive premises, and the many charges attendent upon enterprises of this character, fully warrant the belief that they would not be undertaken were the receipts of very limited amount.The whole aggregate of transactions is directly opposed to the interests of the citizens ; for, though business may be thrown into the hands of one or two residents, the payments are made directly from the pockets of their fellow-citizens ; so that this species of business is a mere transfer of cash \"from citizen A to citizen B\u2014the owner or importer of the eoods paying oat nothing, bat eventually carrying off just so much of our ready cash as is not disbursed in the necessary expenses at tending the sale.Is this, then, a fair compe tition to which the resident trader should be subjected?The interloper, be it observed, contributes nothing to our municipal taxes, exercises no capital amongst us, contributes in no way to advance oar local interests, bat makes his market out of us, pockets his gains, and departs.Not so, the citizen; his rent-taxes are a fixed fact, his business is all transacted with reference to city connexion, his profits go to enhance its wealth, his interests are in every way identified with its advancement, and his prosperity is shared by all who come within the fhfluence of his business requirements.We find, by section 48 of a Bye-law of the City Council, passed on the 10th of May, 1859, \u201c That no person, or firm of persons, not having a residence, office, counting-house, or place of business, within the limits of the city, shall follow, exercise, or do any trade, traffic, or business, by wholesale or retail, within the limits of the city ; or sell, or offer for sale, by sample, within the same, without having first obtained a license from the City Clerk, for which license there shall be paid the sum of five pounds currency.\u201d But, let us ask, is this five pounds in proportion to the trade done, or proposed to be done\u2014is it a fair equivalent for the inter ference with the regular trader ?Again, is this license-money always paid?\u2014is it not easily and often evaded ?Are not goods often sent in to parties resident in Quebec, and sold in their name, in order to evade the fee demanded by this Bye-law ?These are questions which, it seems to us, the nature of these transactions are calculated to suggest, and the answers to which might, perhaps, enlighten oar civic authorities and assist to contribute to the city coffers.MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LAST NIGHT.ECCLESIASTICAL.The regular weekly meeting of the City Council look place last night.Present :-Hia Worship the Mayor, (in the chair) Councillors Gibltn, Lampson, Rousseau, St.Michel, Le-mesurier, Marsden, Baillarge, Laird, Alain, Jolicœur, Lavoie, Renand, Bowles, Roy, Lemieux and Hearn.petitions, Ac.The following statements of sums collected on the several Markets of the city, during the month of October, were laid before the Council, viz : - Champlain, $791.17 ;

with not one cent yet levied by direct immense host taxation at the North ; with an _________ o__________ raw\tk® P*t'l their bounty, armed, the opèniôg of a road to connect the parishes I clothed, and supported ;

but in order to bring this very important subject under the attention of the Executive.Councillors Lampson and Rocbsisaü expressed their concurrence in the Mayor\u2019s suggestion.On motion of Councillor Rsnacd, seconded by Councillor Jolicobcr, it was resolved that an address be presented to His Excellency the Governor General, representing the necessity which exists for the opening of the road in question and praying for aid towards it.TUB \u201c BRIGADE NAVAL.\" Councillor Lampson presented a petition from a number of citizens, praying for a grant to the 41 Brigade Naval\u201d Fire Com-pany.REPORTS.Councillor Laird presented a report from the Finance Committ-e, concurring in the report of the Water-works Committee, in faror of the introduction of the water-works with the L&diea\u2019 Protestant Home.The Report was taken up first in order and carried without discussion.Another report was presented from the same Committee, in faYor of an appropriation of $900 towards the expenses of the Road Department.ORDERS or THS DAY.The first order of the day was a report from the Finance Committee, concurring in th« re- Ihis is certainly not the time of day when the world is much disposed to tolerate restric-tion upon trade ; whether upon the enlarged scale of national commerce, or in the more limited and ordinary transactions ot retail dealing Nevertheless, the necessities of social order require a certain supervision over those irregular transactions, which, whether small or large, interfere with, and militate against the interests of the regular trader.Where the evil of irregular trading comes directly home to the general community, our statute-book still contains restrictive enactments ; and when the consequences of infringe-Eaent are followed by personal injury, or pecuniary damage, pains and penalties are incurred by the offender.Thus the practice of law, and of medicine, is fenced in by restrictions very properly protective against the empiricism and quackery of incompetent and untaught practitioners.It is the same principle which, working in a different channel, has caused the retention of our licensing system, and the po ice surveillance over certain trades considered injurious either to the moral or physical health of the community.To these salutary ends the doctor has his diploma, the lawyer hs admission to practice, and the publican his license.In cities and corporate towns, where the municipal authority is supreme, the provisions of the statute-law are amplified by the municipal regulations, which, by virtue of the corporate powers, also become, within the jurisdiction, equivalent to legal enactment.The mayor of a city, by virtue of these powers, iKwuy# the player, or the showman ; permits the itinerant vendor of wares to peddle or seQ within the city limits, and levies his tax for the privilege.In all municipal regulations in regard to trading, there are evidently two objects sought to be obtained\u2014first, the protection of the individual interests of the citizen, and secondly, the general welfare of the municipality.In noth Log, perhaps, can the private as well as general interest be more interfered with than by the frequent interpolations of itinerant traders.If they are simply pedlars, they sup ply many of the leas wealthy but ready-monied customers of smaller resident traders.It matters not that the wares are novel or fancy, such as the ordinary shop-keeper of the neighborhood is not in the habit of vending.They equally, and amongst the improvident in a greater degree, take away the means which should be applied to the daily wants, and the common articles in which, these shops peculi arly daaL Bat when tkm travelling trade m ANNUAL MEETING OF THS NOTARIES OF THE DIS i RICT OF QUEBEC.The general annual meeting of the Notaries of the District of Quebec, called by a public notice published in two of the public newspapers printed and published in the city of Quebec, was held at the Parliament House on Thursday, the 6th November, 1862, at two o\u2019clock, p.m., for the purpose of electing Board of Notaries, to servo for three years, required by law.Present:\u2014 Ed Glackemeyer Esquire, President;

so that public notice of the proposed discussion of tnia subject may be, in tbe meantime, given.After some disenssion the amendment was | carried.The Council the* adjourned.PALACE WARD.It will be observed, by the requisition and reply in other columns, that Mr.James Dinning has consented to become a candidate for the representation of Palace Ward in the City Council.Mr.Dinning has already enjoyed practical experience in municipal matters.If elected for Palace Ward, it wiU be, we believe, bis third return to tbe civic body.His past services have fully entitled him to tbe honor of the new call which is now made upon him.THE FAIR, YESTERDAY.The fair yesterday was well supplied with beef cattle.Milch cows were scarce and of poor quality.There was a good supply of sheep, a few swine, and one lot of sacking pigs.Messrs.Casey ic Co.sold a number ot horses at auction, very few good animals being offered.Mr.Samuel Tozer showed his prize oxen and heifers, and Mr.Thomas Delaney a pair of Urge oxen a four-year old fed by himself, weighing some 3000 lbs I Prices for all kinds of stock were low, with a poor demand, \u2014the weatter being very inclement.THE CITY POLICE.The City Police\u2014as many of our readers are aware\u2014were organized, last winter, into a volunteer militia company and, as such, form part of Lieut.-Col.Caucbon\u2019s Battalion, the 7th Q.V.M., or \u201c Chasseurs de Quebec.\u201d At noon, yesterday, they mustered in strong force, in full summer costume, at tbe drill room at tacbed to No.I Station, St.Ursule street, for the purpose of being inspected by Col.Erma-tinger.Among those present, besides tbe in specting officer, we observed Lieut.-Col.Caucbon, 7th Battu., Lieut.-Col.Boomer, V.A., Capt.Lamontagne, Q.P.B., Capt.Gingras, 7th B.ittn., and other volunteer officers Capt Bureau, Lieut.Reynolds and Ensign Brown were present with tbeir company, wbicb mustered, we believe, about forty-five.The men were put through their drill by Sergt Jessop, tbeir intelligent instructor, himself a member of the force, under whose training they have made most remarkable progress Tbe movements were performed very steadily and the manual and platoon exercises were gone throngh with tbe most creditable precision The excellent «Aysigue of the greater number of the men added much to tbe appearance of the corps when drawn up for inspection.When tbe inspection had terminated, Capt.Bureau briefly addressed the men, stating that Col Ermatinger had expressed his gratification at the manner in which tuey acquitted themsel vva ; and had observed that they were unsur passed by any company he had yet inspected Co .Caucbon also briefly addressed them in Sfnr congratulatory word*.DEPARTURE OF H.M.S.ARIADNE.H.M.S.Sriadne, 26, Yansittart, is expected to leave port to-day, about tea o'clock, A.M.She has on board a detachment of the Royal Canadian Rifles, from Kingston garrison, consisting of 4 officers, 10 non-commissioned officers, 2 buglers, and 95 privates, with 73 women and 138 children for Newfoundland.THE WEATHER.Yesterday was decidedly tbe coldest day we have bad yet, this season.In fact, bat for tbe absence of snow, there were all the elements of day fn Janaary\u2014a keen frost, bitterly cold wind, and a bleak sky overhead.THE 100th REGIMENT.At Gibraltar, the Victoria Cross has been presented to Captain H.G.Browne, of the 100th (Royal Canadian) Regiment, for con-spicuoas gallantry at Lucknow.DISAPPEARED.Two little boys named Pins\u2014one about eight and tbe other ten years of age\u2014disappeared from tbeir parents\u2019 residence, at the Palais, on Wednesday morning, and have not since been heard of.Both store bine jackets at tbe time of their disappearance ;

Water Lilly.of New York for Leith, ashore near Peterhead; Molocka, Wisconsin, and Carrier Dore, art badly damaged by collision, 4c., in the Mcr- fice any hereditary rights of the Crown.The health of Garibaldi continues to occasion much uneasiness.A general amnesty for all offences had been published in Portugal.Fresh outbreaks had occurred at Danplia, in Greece.The Liverpool Mercury says :\u2014A passage will, we understand, be secured for Lord Lyons in the steamer Scotia, announced to sail from this port on Saturday next, the 25th, for New York.Many strange and unreliable reports are current respecting the nature of the representation which his Lordship is instructed to make to the Federal Government, immediately after teaching Washington ; but we are not, we believe, far wrong in stating that the instruc* tions given to Lord Lyons, for the present, merely amount to this :\u2014That be is to assure the Federal Government of the earnest desire of Her Majesty\u2019s ministers that tho great question at issue, between the North and South, may be settled without European intervention, and to add that, if the North should recognize the hopeless character of the contest which it is waging, our government will be prepared to assist in the restoration of peace, upon such terms as may be desired by tbe con-tendiag parties.Mr.Thomas Mosely, of Manchester, having written to Mr.Gladstone, as to tbe construction to be put upon his remarks at Newcastle in regard to tbe recognition of the Confederate States, had received the following reply \u201c Downing Street, Whitehall, Oct.16th.\u2014Sir, \u2014I am directed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to acknowledge the favor of your letter of the 13th instant, and I am to stale that his words at Newcastle were no more than the expression, in rather more pointed terms, of an opinion which Mr.Gladstone has long ago staled in public that the effort of the North to subjugate the Southern States is hopeless by reason of tbe resistance of the latter.I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Charles S.Ryan.To Thomas Mosely, Esq.\u201d The Mormng Poet has a leader on Mr.Gladstone's position :\u2014It says, if the public will insist on Cabinet Ministers making tours in the provinces, they should recollect that when addressing motly assemblages in town-balls, or at civic banquets, they are not speaking across the Council table in Downing street.The Post treats the recent remarks of Sir Geo.C.Lewis aguinst recognition as quite as unmeaning, in a ministerial sense, as those of Mr.Gladstone, and says:\u201444 None can doubt that if the Federal Government should be perverse enough to protract much longer a struggle which has long since been proved to be unavailing, foreign states would be compelled to acknowledge, as an accomplished fact, the independence of the Southern Coufederacy.\u201d The London Times has an editorial attack upon President Lincoln, suggested by the recent speech of ex-Governor Morehead, at Liverpool Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Secretary Las written the following to a Mr.Moore, of Northampton \u201cDowning street, Oct.17th.\u2014Sir, I am desired by ihe Chancellor of the Exchequer to acknowledge the favor of your letter of the 13tb inst., and I am to say that he hopes that the policy of this country will never be directed to the support or encouragement of slavery ; but in viewing the conflict which aow rages in America, we must all, Mr.Glad-stoue thinks, wish it were in our power, by Iriendly means, to stop the effusion of blood.1 am, Ac., Chas.S.Ryan.\u201d At a conservative demonstration in Essex, the member of Parliament for the county, Major Beresford and Mr.Dueane spoke upon the American question and expressed sympathy with tho Confederates, but declined saving that the English Government should interfere.Tbe speakers represented that a good deal of tbeir leaning towards the Confederate States had arisen both in their own minds and in the minds of the English people from the avowed hostility which tbe Northern States had, without cause, wantonly and unjustly expressed towards England.Mr.Hudlen, the advocate of the eeostra marina, a substitute for cotton, bad issued a circular inviting sea-captains and others to collect specimens of the gross in various parts of the globe.Catherine Wilson, the poisoner, had been hung at Newgate, in the presence of from 20 to3u,000 people.She asserted her innocence to the last.Queen Victoria had reached Belgium, on her return from Germany, but tue stormy weather had preveuted her from crossing to England.She was at Sacken, the palace of King Leopold.Tbe following letter from Mr.J.M.Mason is published in the London organ of the Confederates.It is in reply to a request from the secretary of a meeting at Staley-bridgn, for Mr.Mason\u2019s opiuion as to tbe effect recognition would have in terminating the war, Ac.:\u2014\u201c September 29th.\u2014Sir,\u2014I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 17th instant, informing me of a projected meeting, to be held in Staleybridge, Cheshire, of tne ratepayers of tbe town, who are to have under consideration tbe question of recognition of tbe Confederate States of America, and asking my opinion as to the effect such recognition would hare in bringing about peace ; and other information, I may deem pertinent to the subject, as a citizen of those States.I do not feel at liberty to refuse your request, under the circumstances stated, when, perhaps, otherwise to offer u,y opinion, might be deemed intrusive.It is certainly a settled principle of international law that when a new nation or empire is brought into existence ns a separate and independent power, olhev nations are at liberty, without giving cause of offence, to recognize it as such, and to receive it as an equal into the family of nations ; and to entitle it to such recognition it is only required that sufficient evidence be exhibited of its stability and permanence in the new government, coupled with the power to sustain itself iu its new position.In the case of the Confederate Sûtes, I think the facts which have transpired since their separation from the United States, both in the cabinet and in the field, come fully up to such requisitions cisco ; the distance by the telegraphic wires is three thousand five hundred miles ; this, wo believe, is the longest circuit ever worked in the history of telegraphing :-The-i/fa, of California, greets her New York contemporaries on the annihilation of time and space between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.\u2022 M r O H T 8 Nov.7.Por sehr Marie Elvlne.Penroler, from Gaepe\u2014SO brl* wbale oil to PV Robin.50 brl» barrio ga to Mi-chatnl it Getbing*.80 brl* green codfl»b,30 draft* RLS BOUOTOUOHR OY9-Z* I 11 TRR8, on board Schooner St.Croix, Morrison's Wharf- P.TORGBON R CO, No.18, St.Paul Street.Quebec, Nos.4, 1862\t5p TO LET, A FURNISHED SITTING ROOM and one or two BED-ROOMS, with Board, At 24 Conllard Street.Quebec, Oet.17, 1862.\ttf NOTICE.NOTICE is hereby given, to all whom it may concern, that, in virtue of a sentence of authorisation rendered by Messrs.PISET and BURROCGHS, Pro bonotaries of tba Superior Court, sitting at Qnebee, on the twenty-fonrtb day of October last, on the advice of the parents of the minor children, issue of the marriage of tbe late LOUIS MAURICE PORTIER and the late MARIE «AMAOhR called Lonls-Phtlippe, Frai ç )is-Xavier, aud Alphonse-Josepb ;

1847.There is, ibvefote, no uncertainty as to its position or character.It has always advocated, and will continue to do so,a moderate, temperate, and liberal course of Governmental action, tending to reconcile tbe interests, harmonise tbe feelings, assimilate tbe lews and institutions of tbe Eastern and Western Motions of tbe Province, and make the people of Canada one in sentiment and action.It will encourage that line of public policy, which looks upon Canada as one pi evince and its inhaUtanU, whatever their descent, as one people.While pleased to see tbe remembranct s of borne, and the kindly recollections of me land of onr birth cherished and maintained as a générons sentiment calculated to foster and keep olive a spirit of affection and loyalty toward Great Britain, we shall always discounts nance any attempt to exclu local p.ejudices foster eectional feelings, or perpetuate neUonal distinctions amongst tbe inbabitauts of the province, and \u2019shall strive with an earnest purpose and all our influence to lead the pto.pie of Canada to feel themselves one people with common interests and a common dtstioy, Looking to an extension of this unity cf feel.Ing and commnnitr of iotereet over British North America, we advocate more intimate relariens and a «loser onion between Canada and tbe Lower Province.:, acd ultimately all tbe British possessions in North America, and a consolidation of tneir resources, a combination oftbeir energies, and a concentration of t beir action for tbe ir com s ou ad van cement.Asa means to this end we snppott tbe completion of tbe Railway commonication between Canada and tbe Sitter Provinres, by the construction of tbe Intercolonial Kallwe**.We are in favour of Provincial aid in coii.jonction with assUtancr from the Imperi il Government on such a basis and in eocb proportions as may be advantageous and aatiefactory to tbe Provinces and tbe Mother Coontiy 1st tbo Commercial Legislation of tbe country we believe that system of tariff to be fie most judicious and beneficial to tbe province which purposes to raise, by taxation on impor is, only snob a snm as is requisite to create a revenue aaffieloot to meet tbe necessary expenditure of tbe provioee, yet so discriminating as to afford incidental encouragement to maoofaetsring industry, where tbia can be done without affecting disadvantageonAy other Commercial intereste or interfering with tbe purposes of a revenue tariff.The introduction of accnmolated wealth end productive labour into Canada we conaiiler vitally neooaoary to tbo improvemestand aai is-factory progress of tbe country.Re, tbeio-fore, advocate a thorough revision of tLo Emigration Department, aod ito reorganise» tion oc a broader and more effective footU , In addition to Mnding agents abroad to ma known tbe position of Canada, and ti e facilities it offers to tbe lodastriona settler, (thus indneing tbe population of foreign co.il.trie* to seek oar shores,)we should be prepared when tbe Emigrant arrives amongst us, to afford him everylnformation, direction, ant faeiHtyfer seuling himself down at ooee in our midst, and, for this purpose, we .Item it necessary thatpersor s, trust*ortby, active, «lid wall acquainted with tbe position, soil, and other qualities of those tracts of tbe put lin lacds to which tbe increasing stream ol immigration is to be directed, should be emptoyed by the department to take charge ol nealy arrived bodies of immigrants, conduct tL?n> io their point of destination, and, in conjnncîio» with tbe local Crown Lands\u2019 Agent, see Diem properly located, tbe lines and boundaries ef their lands defined, and all other necessary in formation and Mais tance afforded them \u2019i ogg tbe autxj/viaoea, difficnltiea, and diaroun gn.meats which necesaarily beset a stranger in big attempt to settle down Into a country straugo and new, wonld be softened or removed, and the comfortable settlement of the emigrant fa his new borne rendered comparatively easy expeditions, and satisfactory, in view u! tbe diversion of emigration by tbe lutes.inn troubles of tbe neighbouring States, theopior-tnnily which it offers to Canada to transfe and retain it to bonelf, and the vas, importance of this question to the test Interests of tbe Country, we think it would be advisable to erect tbe Emigration D«~ Department into a distinct bureau, with a Oommiaaiocsr of Emigration and tbe necessary official maobinary to render it effeettve, and adequate to tbe requirements of tbe couti.try.Tbe necessities of tbs province have outgrown tbe present machinery.An \u2022 further important aoxiUary m develop-ing and settling tbe waste lands of the vines, we approve of tbs system of colonisât!' ;\u2022 roads from tbe leading points of the cultivated districts into and through the unsettled i-or-Uooa ot tbo publie lands, whereby those new tracts are rendered accessible and tbe \u2022\"ttleis enabled to communicate with tbe older act-tlementa and obtain remunerative mark -t* tor tbe aorplna product* of their industry.In ini-tinting this system we think tbe Goveromeut of Canada have acted wisely and well, ri e expenditure for this purpose we conceive to re monay well applied, and any action cf tbs Government or Legislature directed to an extension of this system shall have our coidial support.A liberal ayatetn of colonisation roads we consider as an indispensible adjunct to Emigrant agencies, and the other machinai r ot a complete system of Emigration Every ether movement, whether of indlvf.duals or aaaociatione, the Government or the Legislature, which is oaicniated to develop toe resources, improve tbe condition, and advance tbe prosperity of the country shall l ava our cordial co-operation, and whateve! Jiay tend to remove local and traditional dir motions, destroy prejudices arising from natîjt,al origin, do away with actional jealousies and render the inhabitants of Canada ab'tuc-ganeons and united people, bK-ji H-c.rtro onr moet strenuous advocacy auu «apport The commercial aod maritime new» a ill continue to form a leading feature ef tbe /\t:t.mg Chronicle, and tbe utmost attention will be given to this department of tbe paper.Ibe importe and exporte by River, Rail, and r ea will be carefully ©ollected ; tbe carrent m trket prime daily noted ; «hipping lists of all ve .sols engaged in the Canada trade sailed, to s»il and entered for loading in the port* ol tha United Kingdom, ae aleo of Quebec and Montreal, diligently compiled and arranged »ith tbe respective dates ; an exhibit of the comae of trad# with tbe West, the Lower Provide a.the neighbouring States, and Great Britaii*, as shewn ia tbe entries aod clearance# at the Custom House and m tbe official trade ref roa, r?^L\"£,.pob}Ub*
