in tho mosi cnfuriated manner on the approach of he military iba mob fled dowd st james street the military taking the same direction headed by their command ing officer col m about tfall time the stones again began to fly from the mob in the most dangerous manner and a thai part of tho town has been recently macad amized the mob had a plentiful supply of stones ready at hand which rc lament to bay they used with dreadful dexterity col m and several of the other officers and men tvere struck ihe former very se verely still the utmost oxertions the most persuading eptreaties were used by both col mackintosh the magistrates and those io authority to prevail on the misguided au infatuated mob to disperse but to do effect the stones and othor missiles continued to be thrown and seve ral persons were knocked down before nur eyes at length tho fatal word was given fire apd in another momeot four per sons were lying dead in the streets and se veral wounded one of them a young mao not more than 15 or 16 years of age the mob then fled- tho military taking up a position at the head of st james street adjoining the hay market under a mn9t drenching raio oo our return through st james street we observed the flag ways literally strewed with stones which had been thrown at the military at no row had previously taken place in that quarter what shall we or what can we add to the above were we to give an opinion of our own we would be charged perhaps as par tizans god knows that we have but little of it in our composition we dare not give way to our feelings at this moment but shall probably refer to tho subject again tho towo at present as far as we can learn is quiet but tho greatest alarm is prevalent and we believe that the entire of the military including a portion of the royal artillery are under arms ready to act at a moments warniog no blame can possibly attach to the mili tary never did men act more calmly with outstretched arms we observed col m and the magistrates entreatiog of the mob to disperse we would only add our prayer that this maybe the last bloodshed we may have to witoess for many years to come on aoy similar occasion but really when men or any persuasion will be blind led and allow their passions to take pos session of their reason awful as may be thj example such examples are sometimes mercies io disguise the peace must be preserved and will be even at such la mentable cost we regret to add that a poor old man seemingly a canadian in no wise concern ed fell a ronrtyr to the improprieties of others oo the beads of such be the blood one owocr friday morning the troops still under arms and the officers ri ding along the various streets observing aoy movement that takes place we can- ant bat rejoice aud be thankful for these precautionary steps fur had thoy not been attended to we greatly fear our account this morning would be far more lamentable the military have suffered very severely from the quantity of rain which has fallen the most pftri of yesterday oufl uuhugtltv night seven oclock we have not heard of any further outrages committed during the night one of tho persoos shot we are inform ed was an apprentice to the printing busi- ncts in the employ of mr tracey state or the polt- the state of the poll at the close nn fri day was for bagg 676 tracey 6751 saturday tracey 680 bagg 680 0 on saturday in consequence of the in clemency of the weather and from the vio lence manifested an adjournment of the poll was demanded by mr baggs friends nccordiog to law and granted by the return ing officer this produced from mr tra cey such a tirade of abuse and ill temper as has seldom been equalled in the annals of billingsgate the mild and peaceable can didate attacked the character of the re- lurniog officer reproached bim as partial and unjust and aspersed the partisans of mr bagg stigmatizing them as a band of murderers he concluded this passionate r0cri1 w hi audience by threatening violence to every opponent nod encourag ed them to obtain by force that which he said was denied by the returning officer and thefrionds of mr bagg gazette we are informed that at the close of the poll on monday evening mr tracey was three in majority of 56 the numbers being for mr lelievrf 126 and for mr mccuaifr 70 without undervalue the merits of mr mccuaig wc think theckh the stockholder have made is a good one as from our personal knowledge of mr lelievre we believe him to be well qualified for the trust reposed in him not onlv in regard to the safety and good manacement of the boat but a1 as it concerns the comfort of the passengers jft uidfau canal in a late number of the herald we announced that his magnificent work would be completed in a few weeks but we were not prepared at so early a period for the interesting scene which took place yesterday at 8 oclock in tho morning it was understood that a steamboat and several smallercraft would pass through the locks at kingston mills and of course a large concourse of our inhabitants hastened to the spot in order to witness so plea sing an event at thirteen minutes before one oclock the dock yard cutter snake command ed by lieutenant hoi brook and accompanied by mr glovers barge and a barge belonging to the officers of the 66th regiment entered the first lock whero they remained eleven minutes number two was passed in five minutes number three in w minutes they were in the basin three or tour minutes and entered the broad ex panse of wftter above number four at thirteen minute before two oclock the delay in the last lock was occasioned by a small piece of drift wood getting between one of the gates and its sill hod this not occurred the time occu pied in passing through all the locks would not have exceeded thirty minute afterthree hearty cheers the cutter with the british ensign flying at the main mast head spread her sails ti the breeze and was soon hid from our sight by the trees that stud the margin of the serpentine channel leading to brewers mills precisely at 4 oclock the steamboat ridetu having on board colonel by and his family end never ladies and gentlemen of kingston arri vedatthe first lock and passed through the whole number in fifty minutes tncily three cheersforthe canal and the same for colonel bv captain briscoe and mr drum- mond respectively being given the steamboat proceeded on herpwsage and the spectators re turned to kingston highly delighted with their rxcuraion it s unnecessary to odd that the kincn mill locks are constructed in the best possible manner and that the machinery for opening and closing the ponderous gates is uch as to ensure the greatest ease and expeditions herald the klivgstoiv chronicle saturday may 20 1832 by the arrival of a vessel not a regular pack et from liverpool london dates to the nth have been received they arc in general desti tute of that interest which we might naturally have expected upon the presumption that the reform bill would have been read in the house of lords on the 9th it appears however that it was still undergoing its ordeal and no definite period has been fixed to allay the tremulous ex citement so universally prevailing for the impor tant event doubts are entertained even by th warmest advocates of the measure for its suc cess so much so that it is stated that the duke of buckingham has given notice of his intention to introduco another bill possessing considcia bio extension of the elective franchise and in corporating some of the boroughs in case lord john russells bill should be defeated the creation of peers is not alluded to and we may presume that that stretch of power will not under any circumstances be resorted to we have paris dates to the 5th ult they record the ravages of the desolating scourge in the city which has swept off 1 198 individuals in its unsparing progress attacking indiscriminate ly the rich and the poor in nine days 1325 cases occurred casimir pericr has been attocked and his case considered hazardous st that period in london the alarm has subsided and generally throughout england the disease is evidently rct- rogading it is highly satisfactory to us to be assured that in the multitude of arrivals at quebec and the unprecedented influx of emigrants since the nav igation was opened that no case exciting any reasonable suspicion of cholera has been observ ed the minutest scrutiny of every case of sick ness and death on the voyage has been exercised by the quarantine officers and we may reasona bly hope to be spared from a calamity that is pregnant with the most alarming apprehensions we still repeat the necessity of every precaution ary measure being resorted to in this town by an inspection of the back premises of tho several streels where pigs are fed and housed and we have little doubt were a committee appointed fof that purpose they would find abundant cause to adopt a suggestion which facts justify us in seri ously recommending we refer our readers to a very copious account taken from the canada record of a dreadful affray which took place at montreal arising out of the long contested election of the west ward it appear that after the civil power had ben rendered from the most violent icotancc inef ficient to produce tranquility the military were called out under lieutenant colonel macintosh and becoming the victims of popular tumult they were compelled in self defence to fire when five persons were killed and aeveral wounded the officers and men are descsbed as having exhibited the utmost forbearance upon this me lancholy occasion we have to regret the effects which have unfortunately flowed from the clash ing of political feeling displayed throughout the whole period of this protracted election but when a tumultuous mob assemble for the avowed pur pose of resisting tho execution of tb laws of the country and tho operation of her rights they must expect to be treated with that violence which thciecessity of the case authorizes one of i he persons killed is said to be an apprentice in the printing establishment of mr tracey we have copied from the last patriot a re markably clever and useful suggestion conveyed innn editorial article of that journal on the sub ject of establishing a sound and wholesome sys tem of browing in this country we were una ble to give the whole of mr daltons sensible remarks but we have published sufficient to prove he advantages to the cause of temperance which are likely io be expected by the introduc tion of a beverage which without etultifying the faculties possesses the power of refreshing and invigorating the constitution we were ever of opinion that a recourse to ardent spirits amongst the labouring classes of society would in niuy instances he avoided did thepossess an opportunity of enjoying the healthy and invi gorating ale that has rendered the english farm ers proverbial for manly strength and exertion and the public are indebted to mr dalton for a developemcnt of the causes that have operated against the system he so ably advocates nation let us ever continue to be tin subjects of the same king there is but one alternative immediate union or speedt dissolution- monday next is the day appointed for the cele bration of his majestys birth day the troops in garrison will fire the usual feu dt joir and we have only to hop that our most gracious sovereign may live long to enjoy many such an niversaries of an event that has conferred so ma ny blessings upon his loyal and faithful subjects of these provinces as well as those of his domin ions in general ridpau canal we have to regret not having been present at the opening of the locks at king ston mills on tuesday lasi when col br and a numerous retinue passed through in the steam boat ridcau accompanird by ihe dockyard cutter rattle snake and several other craft we refer our readers to the encouraging report of the passage of these vessels which we have copied from the herald and congratulate the country upon the auspicious event that places the utility safety and completion of this navigation beyond further question we understand that sir john colborne may be expected down in about a fortnight whon the passage will be for mally opened by his excellency in the john by whose state of present forwardness pro misee her being fully completed by that period the party which accompanied col by to jones falls returned yesterday morning they represent the navigation of the rideau in every respect complete they passed through the kingston mills locks at night without any dif ficulty or obstruction and describe these locks which it will be recollected were built under the superintendence of capt briscoe as the most solid serviceable and substantial piece of ma sonry that can he found upon any canal on the american continent we have published a most useful table of dis tances from quebec to hamilton and from hamilton to goderich circulated by the canada company for the information of emigrants set tling upon their lands the distances of the respective settlements are described so accurate ly that every emigrant should upon application to mr dawe of this town be supplied with a copy we have no doubt that his office when in operation will materially benefit the travellers who otherwise will be depetitlem fcrlflfertntuibh on the defective knowledge of those to whom they may apply for instruction we would beg leave to direct the attention of the public to the advertisement of mr white the ventriloquist

faculty the extensive collection rif wild animalsatyled the american menagerie will be open for the last time today tlhis is certainly an amus ing and highly instructive exhibition and worthy of public patronage tho montreal herald of the 33nl received this morning without reference to the authority from whence their information is derived states in an editorial that the reform bill passed the house of lords by a majority of nine we have liveipool dates to the i12th when the bill was still under discussion we have been politely favoured by david chis- holm esq with a copy of his highly valuable work on the right of the british colonies to representation in the imperial parliament print ed and published by g stobbs at three rivers we shall enable the public to form their own judgment of the merits of this book by occasion al extracts on the most important features oor own opinion is that his argument and reasons are just and in many instances expedient the appendix contains the discussion in the british house of commons on the 16th august 1831 when thequesi ion of colonial representation was proposed by mr hume such a measure we by no means considered insuperable and there can be but little doubt but in whatever shape the reform bill may be adopted some of its provi sions will be extended to the colonics and this perhaps among the most important and salutary mr chisholms work is written with muth spirit and in a very elegant and accomplished style jit may be had at this office for five shillings the work is concluded with the following energetic appeal in
