london papers state that he is going to russia as was some time since asserted in the new brunswick papers we cannot refrain however from indulging in the expectation that his excelloncy will be advanced to this go vernment not only as an approval of the judicious policy which he has pursued in the neighbouring province but as an earnest of the continued welfare of this free press errata in

crops in this province is calculated to excite it is a great source of consolation as well as cause of thankfulness to the supreme be ing to find that the injury sustained is chiefly confined to upper canada as from nil we have been enabled to learn an ave rage crop will be reaped in the sister pro vince whilst in nova scotia and new brunswick the prospects of the farmer arc still more flattering

provincial par liament with some of our brother editors it ap pears to be matter of vxultation that only three of the present members were among those who voted for the naturalization bill of 1827 this it would seem was the touchstone by which the electors tried the conduct of their late representatives if true it seems to prove most satisfactorily how easily the people rf this province are gulled by the clamours and noise of a few discontented aud factious individuals the advantages to he derived by the people of this province under the provisions of the present law are in no wise comparable with tiose which they would have experienced under the proposed one although nothing has beeosaid by the truefriends of the coun try against it i u order excite a feeling in the country we shad for the present mention only one circumstance which may perhaps assist in dispelling the de lusion under which some people labor in 1827 two acts were proposed the one relating to naturalization and the rights of persons naturalized to hold lands the other relating entirely to real estates by which the titles to lands held by british subjects were uot to be questioned by reason of the person through whom the same may have passed having been an alien the two objects are proposed to he em braced in the present law but there is no provision therein effecting the latter ob ject so that the title f any naturalborn subject to any lands in this province is now liable to be questioned if the same has been derived tlirougft any alien either residing abroad or who may have resided here and left the provinse without being naturalized much is expected from the present re presentation for our own parts we anti cipate but little good brockville gazette a we are sorry to observo that the

of some one or other of our friends or neighbours borne in solemn silence to their last borne and we are informed that in the country their ravages are equally extensive as in town medical men we understand attribute in a great measure tho appearance of these fevers and their long continuance a- mongst us to the unusual humidity of the 6eason the consequent exhalations arising from the earth and the excessive heat of the weather combined rendering the atmos phere exceedingly unhealthy the thanks of the community arc due to the female benevolent society for giving up the- use of their
