but these South American Republics, although containing a population of many millions of souls, have proved, during thirty years, that they are unfit to govern themselves, and are probably destined to be the victims of their intelligent but unscrupulous neighbours.The Oregon debate still goes on in Congresss.\u2014 The following, of a late date, will give some idea of the country in dispute :\u2014 \u201c From OregonN.\u2014The following is an extinct of a letter dated © Tepie,\u2019 December 10, 1843, from a geatle- man, a native of this city, just received : \u201cThis lotter will be taken to the United States by Mr.Hastings, who is on his way home from the OREGON Territory.He gives a very bad description of that country: in fact be says that it is a country that can I see that a States about that country 3 but I have seen a greatinany persons who have been to that section, and they all coincide in opinion with Mr.Hastings, This gentleman, induced to bel.eve that it was a complete Paradise, took ont one hundred and forty settlers from Missouri;

but that they refused, excepting on condition that Messrs, Stewart and Almon should retire, In the mean time, it is probable that the ex-Councillors, who are members of the Assembly, will throw every impediment in the way of a quiet administration of public affairs, in the hope of furcing themselves into power.The Government majority in the House i only two, Several of the members, we see, have paited off.Should the Government be materially obstructed in the Assembly, the Lieutenant Governor, with the assurance of the support of the Home Government, will, probably, resort to another dissolution, and should a majority be returned, insisting on virtually appointing the Executive Council, it is possible that the Newfoundland precedent may be followed by Act of the Imperial Parliament.It cannot be expected that the British Government will continue to spend some millions of dollars, annually, in protecting the Colonies, without the Crown having its constitutional authority of administering the Government in every part of its dominions, securing the investments of British capital in them under the faith of the nation, and discharging its sv obligation of executing and causing fo be execute «« law and justice\u201d* to all ils subjects, jl unless by { 10RD ANI Few p of à Jeu pitrary of the Durty exiles 1 In Hi men wh we find of that euks 7 Pa The fry he merelv mixed tain, 1° authori having the who kind uf it ver» siznee, and ther over.J the crow the exe lament.the cony one of propose er excep Jeon, th tendered « Cochon ar an ?Whig d somewh: was to gi À distributi to have { the Parli niet, « Now sire that the will we canne [1 assigns or far tan mare, for affect liv suffer no § abeurd.js, that hi telt, in | different wards tha when the croarhme their mut concessiot ed monarg mere lictid compositiq to produc whale.rile too in right to bé rations to cative, À his station to his cons for giving yet dreadi cost, and vernment seek for a ance of t ther than > Aho « $ Guor imitation 1n puppet in | used either witicly he d him of ruin pretending his vigoron.Lord Br and chara also read \\ COURT His Hor on the Be Jean Ch on his trial Matilda quantity o of the Roy Désiré feather-be W, Cochr: Thomas tried and f George goods fror Narcisse \\ and found The Co The ca Lord Syde and occup D.Ross, on protest overruled, plea and p aving oc C A speci on Frida (except N Tan) were His Ha copy of {| of King\u2019s the Corpo treet, an His Ho, Tom-the ( Council tt in Parloir the Post ( Baby, upo ind prays Baid Stree exchange A petiti Exempted osed on Vas read led after A petiti ng of a de duty imp 0 the Fi ship- es by ence, than itself, te.) y lhe |, and 'elore Some d the à {rue Sy \u20acXe bong tliefit Imber of the e, in to act Mon- of an sixth luied, f the being strict Ks.1 offi wo 1 few > and 1e for Mini- Gov.pose atried asure rtion of the 11 the ion of hem, Too o the 5 are eriod them \u20ac.) arket ar 19 ir 32 ir QU team ning, nglon heton exas, tates, o the more been ough to its ne, it in\u2014 e ins, of y by oney f the lain ;

it is not maintained that he had a right to be perpetually sacrificing all other considerations to the preservation or extension of his prerogative, But that he only discharged the duty of his station by thinking for himself, acting according to his conscientious opinion, and using his influence for giving these opinions effect, cannot be denied, M unless by those who, being averse to monarchy, and yet dreadinz a commonwealth, would incur all the cost, and all the far worst evils, of a form of Go- vernnent which they think the worst, rather than seek for a better, and would purchase the continuance of the greatest evils at the highest price, rather than encounter the risk of a change.\u201d\u2019t \u201c* A hog to be fatted at the ate of £120,000 a-year.* t George IlI.set one example which is worthy of imitation in all times.He refused to be made a state puppet in bis Minister\u2019s bands, and to let his nuine he used either by men whom le despised, or for purposes which he disapproved.Nor conld any one ever accuse him of ruling by Fivomiites ;

dents by Fire in the City of Quebec,\u201d and which | appeared in the ¢ Mercury >\u2019 of Saturday last, con- | sists of nearly all the provisions contained in a By- Law, under the same title, passed by the City Council, in January, 1842, with the amendments made to it last year, incorporatedinit, and some further amendments and additional provisions as experience in the execution of it had shown to be necessary.A few clauses of the original By-Law, found to be unnecessary or dificult to carry into execution, have been repealed.The following are \u2018the principal changes :\u2014- The 2nd clanse fixes the salary of the Inspectors, at the sins mentioned in the By-Law passed in April last (£150) ; and enacts, that the various companies *¢ shall consist of as many men as.the Fire-Committee shail deem fit,\u201d instead of their being composed as heretofore, of a limited, and each of the same, number ; leaving it to the discretion of the Committee io determine the num- Ler that may be required, according to the power of the engine or any other citreumsiances.The 4th clanse fixes the remuneration to Firemen at the rates mentioned in the By-Law, passed in April last, namely Captains 5s., Lieutenants 3s.9d., and Firemen 2s.6d.The 61h clanse extends the power of the Inspector at fires, and authorises him \u201c* to require the Police, if necessary, ta enforce his crders.\u201d The 201 clause limits the encines that shall attend at any fire to such nuinber as the Fire-Committee shall from time to time order, according to the localities in which the fire may take place ; and, enacts, that such only as are mentioned in such order shall be entitled to pay, without, liowever, preventing any other Companies [rom attending, if tbey see fit, at the risk of being paid in case only of their services being requited by the Inspector.The 24th clause gives power to the Fire-Commitiee to award a premium to the first Company that shall arrive at any fire, with their engine in good order\u2014or to withhold the same, at their discretion.The 25th clause regulates the size of the - water casks to be emploved by water-cariers, and fixes their contents at Sixty gallons, The 30th clanse allows the Fire-Committee to form as may Engine Companies in each division as circam- stances may from time to time render necessary, instead of limiting them, as heretofore, to one Company in each division.The 31st clause establishes {wo Hook and Ladder Companies instead of one.The 42nd clause, the most important one in the series, incindes the 43rd clause of a By-Law passed in Jannary, 1842, which proliibits the erection of wooden houses within the limits of St.Lewis\u2019, Palace, St.Peter\u2019s, and a part of Champlain Wards; and the 9th clause of another By-Law, passed in April, 1843, prohibiting the construction of chimnies in wooden buildings already erected in those Wards ; and (urther authorizes the Council to demolish such chimnies, alter a given period, at the expense of the proprietor.Thh 46th clause defines (more clearly than in the former By-Law) which party shall be bound to raise a chimney, where a building is of greater height than the one adjoining it.The 47h clause allows chimnies to be built of a rectangular, circular, or oval form, instead of limiting to the rectangular form, as heretofore ; and requires the pei phery or circumference of the flue to be not less than 14 inclies, instead of 48 inches.The 52nd clause fixes the distance at which a stovepipe shall be from any wooden partition, &e., at 6 inches instead of 8 inches as heretofore.The 64th clanse no longer 1equires the stoves in carpenters\u2019 shops to be surrounded with a casement of metal.By the 65th clause, Ladders are now requited on one side only of the roofs of Liouses, instead of on both as formerly.The 76th clause allows any quantity of gunpowder under one pound, to be kept without any restriction as to the kind of vessel.Large quantities are subject to the same rule as before.The 76th clause allows any namber of barrels of gunpowder to be couveyed through the City, in a vehicle, withont requiring each cask to be in a separate leather bag, as heretofore, provided the vehicle itself be closely covered with leather, canvass, or woollen cloth.The clauses of the former By-Law, which are repealed by the 79th clause, are the 3rd, which required every Fireman to roside within the Division to which his Company belonged.The 441i, which ordc:ed that all wooden roofs shonld be painted or whitewashed at certain periods.the Finance Committee, on the ground of Mr.(Mercury ) [To the Editor of the Quebec Gazelle.) Sir,\u2014It is rumoured in town that the City Corporation is about to convert into a carters\u2019 stand, the only ornament to the city as a public square, the area in front of the Chateau St.Louis, It is to be hoped that the city, generally, and particularly St.Lewis Ward, will petition and protest against this measure, if contemplated; and what is this to be done for?why, to put up a smelling disagreeable wooden building, to be called a market, at the entrance into the Episcopal Chuich-yard.Now, Sir, I consider that the stopping up of the open space, where the carters now stand, with a market, will interfere with the health of the city ; indeed, I understand that stalls have already been removed from the saine place because they were considered a nuisance to the public.If the City Council intend to erect a wooden huildinz, such as that described, they, the makers of by-laws, are the first to break them, because they have imposed fines and imprisonment on persons who shall attempt to erect wooden buildings.Then, they say, this wooden building is to he temporary; so much the worse; why should the city be taxed for temporary pur- posts, to the tune of some £1000 or £1200, We ad much better have the present market-square levelled off, and a neat cut-stone set of stalls erected there, and then the City Council will do itself some credit.In the first place, the citizens ought to oppose the erecting of an offensive edifice, such as that about being erected, becanse it would be disgraceful to the city and dangerous on account of fire, indeed one of the adjoining squares might be destroyed by fire originating in it.In the second place, they ought to oppose the rendering of the Place d\u2019 Armes a carters\u2019 stand, to perfume the neighbourhood and disfigure the place.Unfortunate Quebec seems to be going backward, while other places are going a head.A Tax Paver, [To the Editor of the Quebec Gazette.) Sir \u2014 À late English publication fell into my hands a few days ago, wherein I find an account of a Light-honse, lately built on the Western end of that stupendous work, the Breakwater across Plymouth sound, which will be in full operation this month ; and as new lisht-honses seem to have recently become almost a mania here, I will, with your approbation, give the Public a description of that Light-house :\u2014 « The height of the Light-house is about 60 feet.It is wholly built of granite, in thirty-one courses; the beautiful roundness and close joints giving one a good iden of its great strength.It is divided into five stories, respectively serving for oil room, store room, dwelling room, sleeping room, and one above, over which is placed the Jantein, \u2014The entrance, abont 12 feet from the surface of the Breakwater, is gnarded by s two massive, sliding, bell metal doors.The sashes \u201cof the windows are also of bell inetal, in which by a ve peculine contrivance is screwed thick plate glass.\u201d Now, Mr.Editor, the new Light-houses in the St.Lawrence, erected a few years ago, viz: one on the S.W.point of Anlicosli, the other on Point des 4 ct \u201c6 Monts, are of the same description as the one on | the Break water, except the bell metal doors ; but -they are larger aod higher, and [ perceive, their lanterns more powerful, and are supposed by good : judges, to be useful, well built establishments : they | answer the purpose of both landmarks by day, as! well as Light-houses by night I have used them often, and often as such, and good guides they are, and are a credit to the authorities under whom they were erected.But having seen last fall {wo things, to be hereafter called Light-houses, viz.one on the South pillar, and one on Bicqnet, why Sir, they will both be a disgrace to the name of Light-houses.Surely if we are to be sorely lozed, to maintain such establishments, let'us have something useful for our money, things that we can use by day, as well as by night, I have also heard fanits found with the Buoys that are used in the Saint Lawrence.1 have, this winter, carefully examined them on the Queen's Wharf, and found them much better calculated for the locality of the Saint Lawrence than our English Buoys; on this subject the authorities have nothing to learn.1 wish 1 could say as much to them on Light-houses.lam, Sir, yours, Tros, M\u2014\u2014d\u2014\u2014th.Ship Master.COMMERCIAL.A public sale of the British Colonial Tea Company\u2019s Teas took place at the stores of the Hon P.M¢Gill, on \u2018the 16th instant, by Messrs.Cavillier & Sons, when the following prices were obtained :\u2014 Chests Flowery Pekoe, 3s.9d.Do Soucliong, 2s.4d.Do Hyson Skin, 1s 7d.Do Young Hyson, 1s 6d.@ 1s.64d.Boxes T'waukay, 2s.6d.Do do 2s.4d.Do do 2:.3d.@ 2s.34d.PorT oF MoNTREAL.\u2014General Account of Timber exported during the season of 1843: \u2014 Pine, 483 pieces ; Oak, 51 do; Elm, 355 do ; Ach, 23 do; Walnut, 7 do; Spars, 11 do; Scantlings, 37 do; Bntter-nut, 4 do ; Spruce, 304 blocks ; O.rs, 2631 pieces; Handspikes, 1761 do ; Deals, 23,566 do ; Boaidsz, 5840 do; Standard Staves and Heading, 89,728 pieces; Puncheon do, 204,490 pieces; Crooks, 29 do; Planks, 703 do ;ZShip\u2019s Knees, 401 do ; Barrel Staves, 1172 do; Veneers, 8 cases\u2014the whole Canadian produce.( Herald.)
