No. I. We hare not been able to notice the Report of Lord Durham in our previous numbers. If 'e have delayed until this moment, in hopes of being able to reduce its size by classifying its contents, so as to bring the marrow of the verbose Lord within reasonable bouuds. It his been called in newspapers, an extraordinary document and so it is, owing to its extraordi nary composition, which consists of a multitude of garbled facts, and false though cunning deductions from thise lets but so arranged and deduced as to persuade the world, 1st, tint his' Lordship is a marvellously clever fellow in making discoveries 2J, that, though the "Anglo-Saxon race in Canada has sinned a little against politeness, and is rather bitter against the Fmicn.

race, nevertheless, the universally ignorant Canadians and their Uaders hale the Brtish, and upon tbia assumed fact Iva ceaselessly harps, at the same time hypocritically making some slight allowances in justification of their hatred, in order thereby to excite a belief (hatha is a just man and ought to be credited which course gives more weight to his false tvament Ilian (key srhafWe would hlvi'. "As on; example out of many ef his false deductions, from partial facts, let us briefly examine the fallowing, he says "The improvement of the harbonr of Montreal, was suspended from a political antipathy to a leading merchant, who had becu the most active of the Commissioners, rid' by whom it hsd been conducted with the most admirable succei't" From this FACT, the Lord" once moV, and for the hundredth lime, deduce as a fact, that the Canadians hate the English and if the fact was as he states it, persons at a distance might reasonably enough believe that his deduction was a true one. Ntw, the whole statement is false and the Noble, veracious and impartial Lord kaew that what be said was false.) These are the facts. The Assembly voted a large sum of money to erect the wharve. in Montreal, and the Governor named as Commissioners to carry tiat measure into effect George Mo fat leading English Julius Quesnel, a renegade Canadian, ajid Captain Piper of the Royal Engineers.

These Com-vnisnooers commenced the work, carried 'it on briskly and well but exceeded the limitation of expenses. On application to the Assembly, a sum was readily voted to indemnify those Commissioners for their extravagance becaase the work was well executed. This improvement of the port ef Montreal, addeJ to the Lachine Canal and the contemplated rail-road (root St. Johna to Laprai-was looked on with jealousy by the Quebec people, the rail-road especially excited their fears Muflatt and Mr. Quemel te carry this latter and opposition bill into fleet.

At first sight it was evident that the personal interests of these two men lay in the tow of Montreal, and particularly in it port where their property was situated. Thry requested tenders for the fulfilment of the Dill, and Messrs. Ward olfered to construct the apparatus for XlfOO, and Mr. Shea lo build the vessel for 400, iu all 2-00. Oders were had from New York for nearly the same price.

Canadians! Fear not the future, weep not lor the past." The Americans fought seven long years to achieve their Independence, and they were organized, armed and prepared in the outset. The Americans were twice as numerous as the Canadians and were aided by the armies and fleets of powerful and generous France.

You, it may be said, have scarcely beguij the noble work of achieving the Liberty of your country. It is less than two yeara' since tyranny aroused the spirit that sent a Lafatettc from his home, his friends and country to shed his blood in the defence of human Liberty. Be not dishearten'd. Can-adians, you have won several victories over the veteran troops of England; you have caused the tyrants an enormous expense and you have gained many friends in the United States, who are ready to rally around the banner of freedom, when it shall again be raised upon your native soil. Recollect, that you have contended not only against the choicest troops of Driiain, but that several American Generals and Colonels have aided the British to cripple you, by seizing your' arms, boats and ammunition.

And remember too, that the American people will not perraj, jieir officers guiltyi'oi such disgraceful cotiiucthereaUer. Foorly armed, harassed, and persecuted as you have been, you have already accomplished much. The American people begin to see that the continuance of a military despotism ia Canada will' Bap the foundation ''of their 'Republic. They all regret the infamous conduct of tbe Wools, Bradya and the Worths. And it is hoped that they will repent, and atone or their acts.

The blood of your sUoghtered countrymen demands expiation. The brave men who have been shot tn cold blood, or murdered upon the 6calTotd in colder blood, must not die unrevenged. The fire of Liberty that was lighted at Montreal, and that burned so brightly at St. Denis, St. Charles, and St.

EusUche must not be extinguished. Soldiers of Canada I your country calls for your aid. He who has no musket, let him work antf get one. No true patriot will neglect to have his anus in order, and his knapsack ready. The blood of your fellow citizens, shed in the cause of Liberty, your country, and your God, cries unto you for j-jstice.

After the great Meeting of the Six Countir-s, held at St. Charles in Oct. 1837, which he attended, a Warrant of High Treason was issued against him. Under these circumstances he was compelled to take refuge in this land of Freedom. After Durham's amnesty he re-turned to his home and quietly pursued his business, till his over-loyal neighbors who were clothed with a little brief authority, forced him at the point of the bayonet, again from his home.

Again he sought refuge in a land once INDEPENDENT OF BRITISH RULE AND. BRITISH INFLUENCE. The loyalists next made war upon his wile and.ehildrens, and bavin? driven them also from trie country, they plundered and burned his property, leaving him neatly destitute of the means of subsistence. Not satisfied with the misery and want to which they had reduced this respectable and wealihy family, the Canada lories rif-xt made application to the Governor of Vermont to hand him over to them to be hanged oa suspicion of having committed some act of retaliation which in Canada is High Treason. Failing in this, they next cashed over to certain American citizens, with British feelings, through whose influence he was arrested on Wednesday last, for an alleged BREACH OF NEUTRALITY, by Luther Drury, (Representative of who, it appears, had got deputised for that especial purpose.

Charles Grey, complimenting the 7lst ilegiment, who were stationed at Lacadie during the winter.

We see the names of some French Canadians among them, thnnking British Troops for their humanity, when hey have before jheir eyes the daily spectacle of the plundered and sacked homes of their unfortunate countrymen. The first upon the list is Joseph Crevier, Catholic Priest, well known at Sandwjcli, U. C. for certain honorable business, which obliged Bishop McDonnell to silence him, in consequence of which he was sent lo Lower Canada. Dr.

Questiel, J. brother cf Julius Quesnel, J. of Montreal, who signed the order to murder three of his countrymen in the streets of that city on the 21st May, 1832. 3. Laurent Archambeault, J.

a very warm patriot till 1836, when he was made a magistrate since then, a rank Tory. This in the winter of 1S37, accused his parish priest Joseph Crevier of dishonesty in the pecuniary matters of the Church. These are the only three French Canadians who signed the address. The nex-t is Tilly Rice, J. P.

Where were all the respectable men of Lacadie? We do uot see the names of one of them. Limit of Speed on Railways.

Dr. Lardner has discovered, by experiments recently made on the Liverpool and Manchester railway, that the atmosphere is an opponent of railway speed more formidable than has ever been suspected. At thirty-two miles an hour, the resistance it oilers is nearly eighty percent. znL aid ihafnlie steapi povvr4iaa to1 encounter and it increases in a jtfoportion so enormouslv greater than the speed, that there ia no't the slightest possibility of any such velocity of transit being gained, as some (and among then none more ardently than Dr. Lardner imself) have anticipated.

It is ascertained that. even forty, mile wtr hour cannot maintained except at a cost which amounts practically to a prohibition. Burke estimated that the number of men destroyed in war, in all ages of the world, up to his time, amounted to seventy thousand millions. Mr.Buckingham estimated it much higher. The Andover and Haverhill Railroad have declared a dividend of iwo per cent.

We learn that Borne noble-minded merchants of Boston, have presented the widow oflr.Curtis, who, our readers will re-collecrjwas killed last tveek on the Worcester Railroad, with from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. i The Norristown Herald says "We un derstand that a well dressed woman is now travelling this country, engaged iu pacing counterfeit notes on the Bank of Penn Township, of the denomnation of $20. Storekeepers and others will therefore be on their guard." A chain of Railroads from Boston to Lake Erie, a distance of 531 miles, will probably be completed in two or three years. By the new Constitution of Pennsylva nia no duellist can hold an office of honor or profit in that State. This is 111 one i a gigwneei, and we think it: far superior to the common Gigs their superiors i consist.
