in. the annals of 19gislation have we seen
any thing So stupidly absurd as the
course 'of the. Bs itish Cabinet, which has
now left Camila without any law, and in
validates every act of Sir John Colborn,
smile the. resignation of Lord Durham !
The late actroCkparliament conferring extra- 1
ordinary.powe'rs on the latter is remiss in an
it-Oporto:it a,•ction : there is not the least
provisicul made for a successor, in case pi
hiri resignation or death.. That body must
therefore be aSsembled to act on this enter•
gency, and the Whig Cabinet hold their
power''on so', precarious a tenure, they
will scarcely dare to do this, as it will ex
pose their oversight to the jeers of the op
posite faction ? Besides it is well known
the appointment of Lord Durham was
made to get rid of him as a dangerous op
4ent at home. From the spirit of the
British press,; we should judge troublmwas
brewing. L'rd Glonleg,•Colonial. Secre

shin of business, the • congregation of ft lends, the
meeting of relatives, the interchange of social
ties, all tend to open the fountains of the heart,
to call into play its best feelings, to harmonize
the thoughts, and lead them to the contemplation
of that Power whose benignity has spread bles
sings around. If the view of a hanii, grateful,
and joyous people can give pleasure to Rim, who
is the source of that happiness and joy, the in
gense which rises from the household altar on a,
thanksgiving day, must be more acceptable than
the gorgeous pomp of the Temple, or the more
worldly offerings of a public . service. Why then
cannot our state adopt this most felicitous prac
tice ? A community like ours, founded by a
sect, than whom none-are more constant in relig
ious observances, shOuld not 'bci thg last to adopt
it. Let us then hope that ouroEzeentive may
break through the trammels of custom, and
propose the subijet. It will nice: with no oppo

he will cook, your steaks, or mix your whiskey

with any 'Sir Bonifacnin the country, and he that

We - therefore recommend Sliver's oyster shells to
the inspection of the curious in conchulogy,
and the rent of his larder, to. the curious ingood
condiments and beverages. So much for intellec
