LOVELL'S GENERAL GEOGRAPHY.

John Lovell, publisher, St. Nicholas Street, Montreal, ha® placed upon our EKiditorial table a work of very considerable merit, which he entitles Lovell’s General Geography, for the use of Schools, A leading feature in this work is a remo- _val of the objections North American Colonists have justly made to the Kaglish General Geographies as defective when they treat of the British poszessions in America, and to the American General Geographies as partial when they pre- sent their views of rival neighbors. The effort in this direction is not without effect. The tabular views and state-

others beside the Delegates were present at Mr. Howe's ex- ho\q under that seheme. The proposal to pay 20 year's pur- | wents are valuable, —the notices of seperate provinces geuer-

POR THE EXAMINER, TO THE REV. GEORGIE SUTHERLAND. Rey. Stx,—In the last issae of the M nitor, and repab- lished in the Islander, L read a letter with your name affixed as its parent. [n that coarse and presunptuous epistle, you have forgotten your position as a Cvistian Minister, and permitted yourself indecen'ly, offensively and unprovokedly | to bring my name before the public. This ungentlemanly liberty, however, should have had no newspaper notice from | me, as I could have been satisfied to leave without public | comment your intemperate and very unchristian article, as it must remain a blemish upon your character as a professed | ambassador of the living God; but 1 deem it an act of po-! liteness to reply in brevity to your pious, affectionate and | generous invitation to eseape d a by attending clerical | ministrations in the Zi¢éle church at the north end of Prince | Street, where you, wise, mild, modest, and potent Sir, are the | meek and gentle presiding genius and oracle. | I am fully aware of the extreme paucity of hearers in the

of your piety, the magnitude of your example, and the ma- jesty of your talents, atter many years bluster and/trial, have tailed, sigually failed to batld ap a congregation. Therefore [ can appreciate the desire whish you ardently feel in these last days of your unfruitful sojourn here, to add to the wee bit flock that protuiscuously stray in and out of your pasto- ral enclosure. Willing, however, as I might be, and ia charity disposed to add one to the small remnaat of hearers receiving spiritual manna from your pure lips, and to assist the broken down, unprofitable shepherd, and set him among the lambs upon the mountains, and establish bim in bigh places in the midst of many sheep for his fold; yet for reasons which shall hereia be developed, I must at present decline to entertain your invitation, involving and promising, under the
