Sept.5th.\u2014The matter of most importance the present week has beep the advent, in the fulness of time, of the first of September ; that day so pregnant with interest to our legislators and country geutlemen, and so fatal in its offects to the astonished partridgzes, which having gained confidence by the protection afforded during their inroads on the farmers\u2019 crops, all at once find themselves marked objects for destruction, now that the greater part of the corn which escaped their ravages has been safely garnered.They see, to their dismay, that the men who stood between them and the farmers have themselves taken the field against the objects of their especial care.\u201c Away to heaven, respective lenity |\u2019 exclaims each game-protector, as the shoulders hig double-barrelled Manton before the sun gilds the stubble on the first of September ; and forth he sallies to the work of death.No re- taros of the killed and lagged have yet been published, and the couatry papers have been hitherto unusually barren in their accounts of the numbers of coveys and the strength of wings; yet, in the absence of these data, we may venture to assert that a greater number of lives have been sacrificed since last Tuesday, than will be placed hors de combat by the combined powers of Europe, belligerent as they now appear, 10 the ensuing twelve months.( Spectator.) During this time of internal warfare, the Queen\u2019s Ministers\u2014with the exception of Lord Melbourne, who keeps to his post at the Royal dinoer-table\u2014 have spread themselves on different points in the country, to watch the progress of events.The Colonial Secretary, after hiding himself samewhere in the North, was at length traced by the Edinburgh ** Liberals\u201d to the house of a Tory Duke, where their invitation to a public dinner was presented.His Lordship has declined the proffered honour, * whatever he might bave done under other circumstances,\u201d on a plea of speedy return to London.The preparations made by the Glasgow Chartists for the reception of bis Lordship in that town, and their expressed intention to invite Messrs.Lovets aod Collins to meet him, may perbaps be included among the \u201c circumstances\u2019 which, in the preseot aspect of affairs, forbid his Lordship to diue at tables where uninvited guests may istrude and put teasing questions.\u2014( 15.) There has been very little novelty in the Repeal agitation of the week.Mr.O\u2018Conneil, after the éx- position of his views to the meeting of Irishmen located at Liverpool-\u2014who are intended to represent the principal inhabitants of the first commercial town in Eugland, when occasion requires\u2014is again found in Dublin speaking at two meetings there, .| and at a meeting and dinoer at Navau.One of those meetings is voticeable as having been convened by two Protestant Churchwardens.This fact was seized hold of by Mr.O\u2018Consell as evidence of the progress of the cause.At that meeting he struck a bargain with the Chairman, and shook hands with him upon it, to the effect that Repeal shall be car- _ | ried forthwith.As there are other parties to the contract, whose consent was not obtained; it: may be reasonably questioned whether the bargain will stand good, powerful though the contracting parties are, and imposing as were the formalities by which it was concluded.The contemptuous silence, with which Mr, O'Connell last week threatened the Ulster Association and Mr.Crawford, has already been brokeu: they formed one of the leading topics of Lis speech at the meeting of the Association.Spanish affairs, iostead of becoming settled, now that the civil war has terminated, threaten to become more and more distracted.The Queen Regont and EsPARTERO are said to have quarrelled ; it is also said that the Queen\u2019s departure from Barcelona to Valencia was hurried for the purpose of removing from the General's control.The arraugement of the Ministry is still unsettled.The great question of the Corporation-law, which has mainly caused the late disturbances in Spain, is likely to be productive of snother civil war, unless the Queen relinquish her purpose of placing the corporations under the iniuence of the Crown.In thisstruggle, the object of the corporations is to maintain the unrestricted privileges which they obtained conditionally at the time of the Cortes Revolution.lt was then understood that the law for their regulation should be the subject of further cousideratiou; but they have, until the present time, succeeded im maintaining their perfect freedom.The law recently passed, and which the Queen was obliged to suspend by theriots at Barcelona, places the nomination of the Mayors in the bands of the Government, and imposes 8 qualification on the members of the corporations.London, Sept.11th.\u2014We are informed by our correspondent at Deal that a Beacon has at length been erected on the Goodwin Saud, which, we have reason lo hope, will be instrumental io preserving the lives of many va'nable seamen, aod a large amount of property, hitherto annually sacrificed.This Beacon has, we learn, been erected at the suggestion and under the superintendence of Captain\u2019 Bullock, of the surveying vessel Boxer, and was\u2019 constructed under the immediate inspection of Captain Boys, of the Royal Navy.Our Dover correspondent sends us the fallowing: \u2014 ;

and when the fire gets in between the tin aud the boards, it is out of the reach of water.The tio ought to be carried round the edge of the roof and down some inches close to the wall, avd secured so us to leave no opening for sparks of fire, Bot it was also proved at the late fire, that » boarded rool covered with tin, is no security against the intense heat of an adjacent couflagration.[ts utmost value, as a security against the spreading of fire, is its preventiug the sparks from a distance tall.ing on a wooden roof, from igniting it.When exposed to a great and near heat, the dry Loarded roof actually tales fire under the tin, and no water can reach it.A stronger metal fastened on cross pieces in the manner of slates, would Le necessary as a security against fire from without.Al wooden spouts ought to be fastened ro that they could Le easily removed ; but metal spouts would Le far preferable.But no security provided for the roof a house would be sufficient in the way houses are now built with unsubstautial walls, with holes carelessly loft or plastered over; and the frames of the doors aod windows of wood.A fire in our narrow streets renders the house opposite a sure prey to the flames.To give any security io such case, the frames ought to Le of stone, with good sheel-iroo shutters.And the party-walls and chimneys of all houses ought to be carefully examined, to see that the old regula- tious are strictly complied with, particularly the sufficiency of the covpe-feus.The obligation of painting or whitewashing wooden roofs, ought no longer, as at present, to be geverally neglected.The Insurance Companies ought never to insure any house without an actual inspection and report, that the regulations are complied with, accompanied with a valuation of the property; confining their insurance to an amount not exceeding two-thirds or three-fourths of the valuation : so that the proprietor may, to a certain extent, be his own insurer.The evils and the dangers which we suffer arise in this case, us most others, from the inexecution of the laws.Our system han boen for public officers to neglect their duties, let every thing go into confusion, and when the sufferings and complaints of the people become loud, to throw all the blame on the laws, which have uot been executod, and call for now ones, which, in their turn, are not executed ; or, at least, only 10 wo far as they make new places or entail additioual expences on the community.In a matter which sv nearly concerus the inhabitants of the cities as the prevention and subduing of fires, we have no doubt, if the houacholders in the |.different wards, or divisions of wards, wero invested with sufficient legal authority, they would enforce the existing regulations, make additional ones, when necessary, snd vote and raise sufficient money, to provide and keep in good order, fire-engines and | ** From every information 1 can learn, the UnitedLe- Gislatiire will ve first called together in \u2018l'utonto, acd Urat jrobully at a very uumvormbie season of the year } luc Uuvoitng\u2014l have licaid tie muntb ol Much spoken .- .+ The gentdewan io whom allude 13 Mr.Derbi- shire, who has been for seme wme in Canada, but who only arnved bere a few days ago.vo © [ have also understood that he is in the confidence ol the Governor General, to whomn we are indebiled fo the privilege of having à member.These cucumstances lend me to unk wat Mr.Derlohirs could puomnse yout tesests, were be reivroned as your represcntauve\u2014uud 1 titsnty Lehieve these interests miny be sufely entrusied Ww lis hands.\u201d Tbe same paper contains the address of * W.IL Duarer,\u201d wha, we believe, is tho Sollicitor Geuersl of Upper Caoada, to the electors of the County of Russeil.The Hox, Epwanrp Hang addresses the electors of Sherbrooke, in the Sherbrovke (Gazelle, as à cav- didate.Montreal, October Ist.\u2014 We learn from Bytows, that Mr.Derbishire has met with such a flattering reception from that constituency, that he has formally offered himself 4s a candidate for their sulfrages st the next election.Two of the four candidates formerly in the field huve retired, and support with their friends, the pretensions of Mr.Derbisbire.The other two, now absent, are also expected to retire.This favourable appearace of his canvass lead» to the Lelief, that his election is certain, (erald.)
