But aher all nature did what no art could do, and formed here a magnificent amphi- theatre where tens of thousands could as- senfble, and from the commanding heights look down upon the plain and have a full view of all that was done iu the valley beneath. These heights were occupied long before the procession arrived at the grounds by persons of all classes, crowded in some spots, in othorsscattered in groups,

And when the entire multitude were gathered there, the scene was one of gran- .deur and beauty quite indescribable. Men who had seen vast assemblages in different countries and on dilferent occassions were incessant in-their exclamations oi wonder

and delight, and it seemed as if they could never sufficiently express their admiration.

The Pavilion and Lady’s Gallery were fully occupied, a large body of Military was placed between the Pavilion and the Grand Entrance ;a body of Artillerymen, with their guns, on lower ground some dis- taiice in front of these and as the procession approached the several bodies took u the various portions assigned them, the rec masons on the little knoll, where the Pavilion stood, to be in readiness to lay the stone. The Band of the 70th took up

its position to the right of the body of sole iers.

About one o’clock, His Excellency,Lady Head, and suit arrived, and were received with the usual honours. The Band played Gdd Save the Queen, the soldiers saluted, ab. , and as soon as they reached the Pavilion the Artillery fired a royal salute of2l guns. His Excellenc who, on this occasion, ad-

eared' in ful dress as Govenor of the rovince, was accompanied by Commodore Shubricki of the United States Navy and the other oflicers of the Princeton, and attended by Col I-Iayno, Mr. Dury, his Pri- vate Secretary, Stc. &c., &c.

Colonial party-politics are remarkable for the factiousness and violence of politicians, the prevalence of demsgoguisin, e roughness and oven brutality of the news pen, the pracllfo. in carrying on public di rences, pf making war to the knife, and always strikin at the

cart. . . . . . When colonists ilfer on such a point, for example. as the arnpuiit ofa proposed iiu lift duty. or the direction of a road, both si es treat the question as if it were one of life and death; and, instead of compro- mising their dihrenoo, or giviii ii quiet victo- ry to the reponderating weig t of votes or influence, t ey instantly set about toariugeooli other to pieces with tongue and pen, after the manner of the late Daniel O'Coniiel. A colo- nist who iiieddles with public matters should liuva a skin of iiupenotrsblo thickness . But it is not the skin alone that suflers.

HA.SZARD’S GAZETTE.- Wcdnosdsy, September 81, 1803.

We again beg to enter our protest a inst this continued recurrence persona ities. We are requested to take notice of the impro-

r conduct ofa ngofboys at a funeral, we

0 so, and we are iiniuediatel told by one who calls himself" a reformer" t at it uts Iiim in mind of“ Satan reproving Sin," an that “ ex- ample is boetter than precept,” and much more to the same effect, all very good, but rather out of place, as is his endeavouring to lug politics in by the head and shoulders. This is the course of the oolonial press. has become ii. sore. rrrievimco and is very properly deprecated by Edward Gibbon Wake e d as will a pear by dllt‘xtl'tlt‘.t worth of attention in arm er part of the paper. ‘I e allusion to liberals as con- trasted with up r crust (as he cm) was wholly uiiea led for, there was about the upper crust and the li our whole article nor the sli htest allusion to them.

That the itttending o funerals is accompa- nied by no unit-nduient of life or religious im- provement wc have long since known, and that the whole journey from the residence of the deceased to “ the house appointed for all living," has been filled with every thin “but serious reflection on the uncertainty of ‘life the certainty of death, and the necessity of it pro- per preparation for an attendance at the bar of God,“ and it is a pity that it should be so ; but of the douieanourof individuals of all ranks and classes at funerals is here as elsewlitire out- wardly decorous and certainly gives no license to conduct on the part of boys such as that re- rred to. We intended no diatribe against “ schoolmasters, sabbath school teachers, or rlergymeu" for we are well aware that if it depended upon them this would be different, and when we talk of training utpl children. that is, street children, in the way ey should ve themselves in public. we mean municipal train- ing. It is impossible to have a concertor public lecture or cattle show, or in short any thin of a public concern, without being pestered wi a set of unruly and disorderl boys throngin round the doors, ' e windows, a whoopingsad hollowing e so many druhk- en aavs s, Now, we ask “ a reformer," if this, in the first place, be not as nuisance- and, in the neat, whether it ought not to abated either by the arm of the law or if that be powerless—-us we fear itis—by the association ofall men, of all classes to put it down. Let it be once seen that there is a determination to suppress this kind of conduct, and it will soon diss ar. One thin , however, we must tell “ A former,” that he is in error—“ cursing and swearing in the presence of superiors, equals and inforiors," is not a common vice at the present day smon those who call them- selves gentlemen; it is 1: some tion, not the rule, and leavin himself outo the number, the writer coal name five times five, whose conversation is not stained with a vicenow— though not so in our youth—uuquestiousbly vulgar. Be all this as it may, we again depre- catc this attacking the perso failings, errors or misfortunes of the writer or supposed writer of any leader or article in a public newspaper, not on our own account, for they excite in us only feelings of pit and contempt for the nu- thor, but for the so it of the public, who we are perfectly sure care no more about whether we are hum hacked or round-shouldered, crooked or straig t, whether our clothes are well or ill made, new or second hand, whether our lucubra- tions are paid for or whether they are tui- tour or whether we eat roast beef on plum pudding or salt herring and potatoes. Besides

coo rsonalifios avail the person who uses them as little as they injure the rty who is the subject of them. We were a ed the other day by a fliiet honest country man “ who th deuce the ertiser meant by the Bunch-back ? adding, it can't be you fbr you hain’t got no hunch, you are pretty strait there, strait so myself most.”
