By the aid ofthc federal counties of Ad inns and Franklin, Mr. Penrose has sue p.noded in traininc a re-election to tho Sen hto, but wo envy not his feelings when ho examines tho iesultoftho election in tho counties which formed his old district, and marks tho quiet but eflcctual seal ol repro bation which his former friends have pass b'd upon his conduct.

Had been induced to accompany three other men to the House of a free negro, for the putposc of arresting three runaway slaves these negroes, aware of the approach of the party to take them, retired to the lolt ot the building, where tlley were discovered concealed un der a bed.

The ladies of Canada seem dctcrrincd that the political excitement of the day shall not pass without a participation on tlicir part. Convivial meetings have been held by the members of tho fair sex, at which eloquent discourses arc said to have been delivered and spirited toasts drunk. When ever females mingle in discussions such as luose which now engage the attention ot the British provinces, there is good reason to believe that revolution is broad. The fee ling must indeed be deep rooted and strong, that could induce lemalos, wjiosc tastes aro usually averse to scenes of popular com motion',' td coine forward thus publicly to advocate the public cause. Mr. Papincan must feel flattered in seeing his country women tako sides witli him so ardently, and his gallantry will at onco put to rest any misgivings tliat he may possibly have had as to tho wisdom of his course.
