Here we have another proof of the high rank of the butler among the royal domestics, which x was probably owing to the religious Titlue attri- buted to the wine in Egypt. Herodotus informs u.. that the kings aud the Priests alone were: permitted to indulge in its ordinary use, while! the people were allowed to drink it at certain festivals. Isaiah confirms the account of the rarity of the grape vine in Egypt, for he makes no mention of its destruction in his enumeration of the judgmeuts which God denounced against that land, though he makes the ruin of the viiies a prominent feature in his manaoes against the Asiatic nations. The eaatern world is remarkable for the time sin which the same principles of conduct and rules of action have prevailed. There is, per- haps, scarcely one oriental court at present in existence, which could not furnish parallels to .the vicissitudes in the histories of Pharaoh's •■ chief butler and chief baker. The Tiistory'o/" Haman iu the book of Esther, shows us how soon a prime minister was removed from the pride of the highest post of eminence to the dis- grace of a gibbet, while Mordecai. trembling one hour for his life, found himself in the next parading in triumph, while the highest in the land were forced to hold his bridteLrein. But though the attendants of Royalty are thus ex- posed to the: cprices of their master, so that their very life depends on his nod, yet are they permitted, while in favour, to enjoy arritit-inlacy and familiarity which would be considered de- grading to the sovereign in the modern courts of .Eurupe. When Pharaoh was perplexed by his dream*, we find ilia) coirstittit); his butler, m:lier than his vizier and officers of state, and at once adopting his advice to summon Joseph as an Interpreter."

NEW METHOD-OF REPRINTINTJ BOOKS, &C. A discovery has recently been made by Mr A. Blacklock, of Dumfries, a surgeon, of a simple and cheap mode of transferring and reprinting books engravings, and lithographies. It is well known that, with paper newly printed, the impression of the type may be transferred,to stone by mere pres- sure; printer's ink, however, dries so quickly that, unless the transfer be miide almost immediately, this canuot be done. Mr Blacklook says that, by his discovery of a cheap chemical process, the ink of prints and letter-press, however old and dry, may be speedily brought into a condition which admits of its being transferred and printed from, without the least injury to the original copy. The nature of the process is, of course, at present unknown. i

Ministers, It is now said, have determined to pay immediately all arrears of pensions demandable tip to Christmas, leaving it to Parliament to lop off such of them, it any, in future, as the committee of inquiry may reeominend. It is an absolute fact, that more than a whole week has elapsed I without the noble Premier being a guest at the royal table. It cannot be true, therefore, that he has discharged his own cook..

The Canadian rebel, like his Irish prototype, can speak daggers, but uses none and has, in imitation of the same ori- ginal, an insurmountable dislike to the smell of gunpowder.- The ifrst and second lieutenants of a man-of-war, both great anglers, once disputed eoneerning the fly in season for a particular month, one arguing that the horse fly was then in season, the other replring that there was no such fly. At the moment an able sailor, who was also a skilful angler, passed, and the disputants agreed to leave the question to Jack. '"Jack, said the first lieu- tenant, "did you ever see a horse jly?" No, your honour," replied the tar; "but 1 have seen as turloo.. thin,l have seen a cow jump down a precipice." The friends of Ministers gave out that what passed ol the session previous to Christ- mas wae only a skirmishing preparatory to the grand campaign. Viewing it in that light, never were troops so damaged in skirmishesjis the Whigs have been.

THE NO-PATRONAGE GOVERNMENT.
THE NO-PATRONAGE GOVERNMENT. We submit, modestly but firmly, that we have proved our case; that we have demonstrated- clearly and satisfactorily demonstrated—how ut terly vain, empty, and unfonnded, have been the no-patronage declarations and vaunts of the Whig administration. At a period when the civil interest, of the country required at once judicious economy and careful management, the miuisters of the day have, by their petty and paltry savings in matters where liberality would have promoted the welfare of the empire, but whence to them no increase ol power or influence could hare accrued,—and by the creation of Commissions, roving and sedentary, at an enormous and most unnecessary expense ,-sur. passed in prodigality the most liberal expenditure ol those days which are now the theme of affected in. dignation and pretended vituperation. Thus it if that they have alienated and disgusted very many who, for a time, believed them sincere in their vir- tuous and patriotic professions; and have, by the biesaiii. of Providence, arrayed oil the sid. of Con- servatism iiiyi-iads of well-disposed and right-tninded individuals, whose eyes are at length opened to the emptitie.49 and vanity of their often repeated pro- fusions. But at what cost ? Seven years of agita- tion and turmoil-seven years of bitterness and ati-it'e-seven years of irritation and discord. The professed friends of the poor, they have ground ,down the artizan and the labourer-they have se. parated husband and wife—they have erected work- houses, whose inmates are in a worse situation as regards the tempornl comforts of life, and in too many cases as respects their spiritual interests, than the felons who crowd our gaols (of the which, by the way, salaried inspectora have been appoiuted). But what of this? Cotnmissionerships have been created, and Whig patronage, the influence of the no-patrouage government, extended far and wide. The professed friends of religion have neglected men worthy of the best and purest days of the Catholic Church. They have promoted political partizans, their brothers and kinsmen, no matter how undistinguished or Unknown—for they are a no-patronage government. Popery and Dissent have been by them cherished and courted. The Church in England has been neglected and threat. ened. They have postponed every consideration of principle, whether ecclesiastical or civil, to the one great questiotjt—How shall we retain office? How ? By the creation of new offices so often as 0 hungry disseftter or discontented papist shall menace us with opposition, or threaten us with hostility. AVe will frame new Commissions aye, even to discover impossibilities, should every other i-ourceof investigation be closed.

RADICALISM AND LORD BROUGHAM.
RADICALISM AND LORD BROUGHAM. > The document on which Radicalism claims Lord Brougham for its convert, is a letter written to the meeting td the Crown and Anchor. The p;irty had, made the first advance by soliciting him to take the chair. It mu*t be acknowledged that his Lordship met them with all the ardour of a first love. After apologizing tor his absence, on the ground of having given up the habit of attending public dinners, he proceeds:—" 3ut it is nort to be imagined that I am inditlerent to the great subject which brings you together. Upon all the more important mutters which occupy the minds of men, there appears to be now a general coincidence of opinion. That the duration of parliarueats should be shortened, is con- fessed by all who can descry like nitural operation of a six years' security upon the conduct of the nation's representatives. But your frequent appeals to the country may be oflittle avail, while a mighty body of our fellow-cjtizens are excluded from all share in their own affairs. ill-aity fur whom I entertain the greatest respect, hold another opinion. But to them I freely submit, that the means must he provided, of restraining those corrupt practices so disgraceful to the age, add of protecting the elector in the exercise of his rights: to the end that the law. may no longer foster corruption, and the subject may be no longer mocked with the permis- sion to choose whom he pleases, prfivided he pleases to select those whom others shall choose. The ef- fectual control of the constituent over the represent tative body,—protection to the voter in the posses- sion and in the exercise of the franchise and an extensioit of that franchise to a;l whose iii s el licence and respectability enab'e them to use i: benelicially for live state; those are the ohjects of all the efforts which remain to he made for Reform." Haying thus harnessed hilUself to Ballot, Univer- sal Suffrage, and Triennial, or perhap:, A ullua I Parliaments, his Lordship adverts feelingly to the true cause of this declaration." Tbe events of late years, indeed, may have severed the ties of ancient friendship, and weakened for a season those of party connexionOn this point we fully a.rree with him. His Lordship ha* been rema.kahfv ill used by the Whigs. Confessedly the ablest man among them; for the lat t,vetity-five years the most nil weaned labourer in that vineyard, whose meagre fertility they had so foolishly worked out the only player who could take their cards in hand, and brag them through; the only steersman who could keep their crazy boat to the wind the only clear-headed, daring, and zealous -champion of a party which had lost all strength by the loss of all spirit, and took national contempt as an inheritance and Padiamentary defeat as a law of nature the Whigs had first use(l, tlieuitisulte(l, and then thrown him overboard. His Lordship has now scrambled to laud. A pilot 110 longer, he takes his revenue as a wrecker—hoists false lights on the first point where he can set his foot, and angrily waits for the work of a fuul willd and a lee-shore.
MONKEYS.
MONKEYS. The following curious anecdotes of the Connect- ing link," as the have it, are from an interesting paper New Monthlj Magazine, entitled, Rec, cations in Natural History. We have had our eye upon one or two of these VVanderows. There was one in the Zoological Society's collection, thet, in its infancy, in Bruton Street, and a right merry fellow was he. He would run up his pole and throw himself over the cross- bar, so as to swing backwards and forwards, as he Rung suspended by the chain which held the leathern strap that girt his loins. The expression of his countenance was peculiarly innocent; but he was sly, very sly, and not to be approached with impu- nity by those who valued their head-gear. He would sit demurely on his cross-perch, pretendiuw to look another way, or to examine a nut-shell for some remnant of keriial, till a proper victim came within his reach; when, down the pole he rushed and np he was again, in the twinkling of an eye: leaving the bareheaded surprised one mitus his hat, at least, which he had the satisfaction of seeing undergoing a variety of metamorphoses under the plastic hands of the grinning ravisher, not at all calculated to improve a shape which the taste of a Moore, perhaps, had designed and executed. It was whispered -ho)-rcscimus referenles-Ihat be once scalped a bishop, who ventured too near, notw 111- Atall(ii,ir,rihe cautiun veil to his Lordship by another dignitary of the church, and that it was some time before he could be made to give up, with much mowing and chattering, the well-powdered wig which he had profanely transferred from the sacred pull to his own. The Lords spiritual of the present day, with one or two laudable exceptions, are safe from such sacrilege: now, it would be nearty aa difficult to take a wig off a bishop, as it once was to take the breeks off a Highlandmun. But another Wanderow confined in the open part of the gardens in Regent's Park was of a different temperament. There was melancholy about this creature. He would climb his pole, ascend to his elevated house-top, and there sit for an halfan hour together, gazing wistfully at the distant portion of the park which presented, when viewed from his position, the appearance of a thick wood, every now and then looking down, as if he were contrasting the sOtftoth-shaven painted pole to which they had fetter- ed him with the rugged living 4, columns of the evergreen palaces" or his Fathers. THE BARBAKY ApE.-Snme cf readers may not have heard of all old story, of wli;cl,, by the way, there is more than one versi ti, sotting forth how a strong party of these apes, headed by a knowing old cheiroped, gave so much annoyance to a certain regiment in garrison on the Rock, that at last they set their wits to work and succeeded in capturing the ringleader. Him they sKaved close, both head and face. They then let him go. Away he scam- pered to his party who had been watching him at a distance, eager no doubt, to place himself again at their head, and lead them down to venge.ice. He was received with a volley of sticks and stones, by his own troops, who treated him so roughly that he was forced to Sy for his lite. In this deplorable and r -# f degraded state he was fain to creep hack to his old enemies, the—th and presented himself at their quarters so woe-begone, and with such a rueful visage "all shaven and short)," aDd there was no resisting theappeal. He was Admitted and remaiued with his new allies whom he served with fidelity, upon the same principle that seres the faith of all other allies,—because he couldn't hdp it. THE GIBBONS OR LONG-ARMED APKs.-«-These Gibbons, notwithstanding their long and sharp caaKie teeth and length of upper limb, present, in many of the species, a very hnman appearallce; and, it all tales be true, rival the Orangs in their inimicrv of human actions. Dr. Burrough's male Hooluck" which came trom Goalparoon the Jiurrainpooter river, woum take hold of the Doctor's hand, and, assisting himself with his other arm, walk with him. He would come at his master's call, seat himself in a chair by his side at the breakfast (able, and help hirnselfto an egg, or to the wing of chicken from the plate of the Doctor (who seems to have indulged in ^praiseworthy breakfasts), partaking of the coffee, chocolate, milk, tea, and other liquid adjuncts ;• ^ymetimes, indeed, contending himself like the? great Gri#taldi with dipping his hngt-rsintOithe vessel and licking them, but, when thirsty in earnest, lifting the cup and drinking like a man from the spring, Boiled rice, boiled bread and milk with sngarj plautains, bananas, and oranges, were relished, but bananas seemed to gratify him most. He had, tiQwever, a low taste for insects, and would search into crevices for spiders; as fur blue bottles, he would catch them in his, hand with a dexterity worthy of the "silly single" himself. The poor animal was very affectionate to the Doctor, who appears to have been a most kind-hearted protector, and used to comb and brush his pet to the great delight of the latter, who always acknowledged his master's morning appear- ance with a loud, shrill, and often-repeated" Wlioo But— A favourite Ifas no friend j" and the poor monkey was kiiled by a blow across the loins with a small stick, inflicted by some lout of a servant—inadvertently, as it is said.- There was another, a female about nine months old, in the possesion of the Doctor, who did all that he could for his little patient in tbe way of castor oil, calomel, and warm baths, but she "died .one day." The sufferer had great pain and oppression in the chest: it is affecting to reatfof the eagerness with which she hnried back to the soothing comforts of the bath when she was removed from it, and lay there ill comfortable quiescence us long as she was per- mitted. OIIANG UTAN.—The personage who has lately arrived at the gardens of the Zoological Society in the Regent's Park, and is now the observed of all observers, is of the softer sex, and vtry youug. She receives company in the Giraffe-house, and ap- pears amiable, though of a gravity and sage deport- ment far beyond what is usual at her years. When we first saw her she was standing by her gentleman in waiting, who was patting her head and tickling her chiu—familiarities which far from offending her, were admitted with the utmo-t complacency. Pre- sently, however, she left him, evidently with the intention of making the acquaintance of a carpenter, who was kneeling with his back towards her making some alterations in her apartment. It sounded odd to hear the gentleman in waiting sav, as she laid her hand on the carpenter's shoulder, Come, Jenny, you must leave the carpenter alone," at the same time geutly leading her away. Dear ttite' said a Idtlv," Dear me! does she know what is said to her?" she knows her name, rep!y: the lady said, "T)ear me again.. Finding that she was checked in her proposed liaison with the carpenter, Jenny moved quietly into the box which served her for a bedroom, arranged her blanket, made a wisp of straw into a bundle for a pillow with dexterous manipulation, and then lay down at her ease upon her back with her straw- pillowed head towards the entrance of the box still gazing, as she lay, at her carpenter. At we have 1101 observed her parure noticed in any of those "glasses of fashion," French or English which abound in this metropolis, we think it right to state that her dress consists of a fine Welsh flan- nel chemisette, with continuations of the same, a la I'uit £ ue, over which she wears a robe, seldom see:) on the ladies of this country^ called a Guernsey frock. She looks very comfortabte, but we would advice our friends to pay their respects as soon as they conveniently can; for though the temperature of the Giraffe-house is very godd, experience has taught us not to consider the lives of such foreigners as Jenny very insurable. liylobates, Ilojlick, Harlow.
CIGAR SMOKING!
CIGAR SMOKING! (From a Satirical work, More Hints on Etiquette.) Being now dressed, in order to shew off with propriety, you must have a cigan This is impera- tive; no gentleman can pretend to be a gentleman unless he smokes his ci^ar and the sooner you master this accomplishment .the better. We re- member seeing a nice young gentleman, ten years of age, smoke his cigar in a most manly and mfl terly style, and afterwards go to a stall, and buy a penn'orth of apples and a lollipop. We think little gentlemen would always look very interesting with a pipe in one hand and a lollipop in the other. To be sure, so tie ma's and pa's object to their little gentlemen smoking; but every young gentleman of spirit, upon entering into fashionable life, must "cut" his parents a. soon-as possible, and avoid all their unfashionable prejudices. Now, most people imagine that a cigar is merely a cigar, and thaC smoking a cigar is merely sm >king a cigar; but we beg to inform those persons that there is as much difference in the manner of smoking cigars as there is in cigars themselves. Let it surtice to describe three sorts ol cigars, each of which will be found to partake of the character of the smoker for instance, there is the L^quisite, or real" \Vood- ville" Havann ih, mildJataste,aromatic in flavour, and smelling like a nosegay,— then the Lively, or quick-burning three-ha'penny touch," pungent in taste, and diffusing a villanous compound ofvil smells," — then tlie-re is the "Blackguard. "or half-and,half-peony, go-out-and-in burner," with a strjaiv in ít, giving out a scent that smells like atfj- thing;but a nosegay. Now, if y0ll aspire ;toL the Exquisite*and smoke your Woodville, yoti must procSfe'in^the operation in the following delicate and soientific manner:—'lake up your cigar with the forefinger and thumb, it tenueny, very tenderly, all round, m-iiitening it with your lips, then place it between the fore and mid Ue fingers, (being careful to have primrose or lavender-co- loured kid gloves on,) then allow one end to coone in contact with the flume of a wax-candle, or some other delicate light, and draw it away again ratner actively, describing a segment of a circle, witn the hand inwards, terminating with a graceful flourish up-vards-then elevate the arm in a line with the shoulder, forming an acute angle with the fore-arm towards the face, incline'the hedd slight y forward, place one end of the cigar (not the igbted one) between the lips, and then gently inhale the fume, evaporate it again in the most bland and gentle manner, withdrawing each time the cigar from the mouth, with careflll ease, and elegance of movement. If you choose the Blackguard, you have little more to do than to screw up your mouth on one side, stick the cigar in it, cock the lighted end up towards your eye, and blow away as hard all you can. In this character yoM are expected to expectorate a good al. If you are a lively smoker, you must smoke a little and grin a little, by turns. There is no definite time for smoking; it is best to begin in the morning*, and if you should be, perchance, one of the useful class, as it is mis- called, by all means smoke your cigar as you go to office," it has such a foreign air with it, and looks 110 unlike business and respectability, and all that sort of old-fashioned'nonsense. The best places for puffing cigars, are certainly the public stcfleu, or on the outside of stage-coaches, it makes it so agreeable to the other passengers, particularly to the females.

JOSEPH HUME AND SKI WALTER SCOTT. The following extract is from the Diary of Sir Walter Scott. The commentary is from the pen of our contemporoi y, of the Church of Enylund Gazette:— 41 March 2,3d.—Perused an attack upon myself,, done with ,as tuuch ability as truth, by no less ;i person than Joseph Hume, the NIGHTMAN of the House of Commons, who lives upon petty abuses, and is a very useful man by so doing. He has the kindness to say, that I alii iuii'iesled in keeping up the taxes j 1 wish 1 had any IllIng else tu do with them than to pay tlu-m. But lie is AN ASS, and not worth a man's thinking about. Poor Dogberry sighed in vain for some friendly hand to write him down an ass; though it be no written down, yet forget not that 1 urn an ass." Joseph has been more fortunate in finding a biogra- pher. The nightman of the House of Commons" will live for ever in the pages ot the author of Wuverley.

FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. .-
FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. CANADA. COLONIAL OFFICE, JAN. 5. A dispatch has been received froin Lictit. Gene- ral Sir John Colborne, K.C.B., Commander of the Forces in Canada, dated Dec. 7, 1831, of which the following is an extract:— (Extract.) Head-quarters, Montreal Dec. 7, 18S7. My Lord,-I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of the General Commanding in Chief, that Colonel Gore having received my in- structions to move on St. Denis, and to attack the rebels occupying that village, he marched from 'Sorel on the 1st instant, with eight coinpaniet- under his command, and three field pieces. The rebels on the approach of her Majesty's troops abandoned their position and dispersed, leaving the arms and ainunition which they had collected in the village. Coh Gore, being informed that the principal leaders of the rebels had retired to St. Hyaciuthe, marched to that town, by St. Charles, on the 4th inst, but ou ascertaining that Wolford, Nelson, Papineati, and the other leaders of the revolt, had made their escape, he returned to St. Charles. If appears from the report of Colonel Gore, which is annexed, that the habitans, in the neighbourhood of St. Hyacinthe, have returned to their homes and I am persuaded that the march of the troops through that part of the country has already produced a good effect. I have the lionotir to be, &e. (Signed) J. COLUORNE, Lieut. Gen. Major Gen. the Right Hon. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, &c.&c. (corv.) Montreal, DJC. 7, 1837. li,.ive the Iloilole to report that I arrived at Sorel on Thursday evening, the 30th of Novem- ber, with the force under my command.* On the morning of the 1st December I attempted to break through the ice in the Richelieu, with the steam- boat John Hull, but on proceeding a mile, found it impracticable, when landed and proceeded to St. Ours, where 1 halted for the night, and proceeded on the following morning on the Road to St. Denis, which I entered without opposition, that place having been abandoned the night before. The properly or'the rebel Woltred JNelson, was, in the course of the day and next morning, des- troyed, and also the fortified house and all the defences. On the morning of the 4th, I marched on Saint Charles, where I arrived at noon, with five com- panies and two guns, having left at St."Denis three companies and one gun, under Major Reid, 32d Regiment. Having received information that some of the rebel chiefs were at St. Hyacinthe, I im- mediately proceeded, according to your Excel- lency's orders, to that place, which I entered in the evening; and surrounding the house where Papineati usually resided, at that place, it was strictly searched, but without finding him. I was accompanied by Mon. Cronier, the parish priest, who gave me every information in his power; tind, I am happy to say, Ih it it is his offlnion that the habitans now beg-in to see their folly, and that they have been grossly misted. They have returned to their homes in the whole of the counties between the Richelieu and the Yama'ska, arid gave every assistance required for transport. 1 halted the troops on the 4th at St. Hyacinthe. The Cure called an assemblé of the principal in- habitants and the habitans; he addressed them with great eloquence, showing the selfish designs of their leaders, the folly of being led by them from their allegiance, exhorted them to continue in their homos, and assist in arresting the rebel chiefs, which they promised to do. 1 returned toSt. Charles in the evening, directing the force at St. Hyacinthe to return next day; two companies of the 83d To occupy St. Charles with one gun; three companies end one gun St. Denis, and a detachment St. Ours, and, taking the remain- der of the force, four companies of the 32d, and a howitzer, I returned to Sorel, and arrived here this forenoon at 11 o clock. -this operation has produced the best effect posiible-it has opened the eyes of the habitans in these populous districts, where the influence of the rebel leaders was great, and shewn the habitans her Majesty's troops, where their presence was least expected. The howitzer which was left on the road.Avai recovered. An iron glln taken, and considerable quantities of arms and ammunition found at Saint Denis, were destroyed. I have, &a.

INSURRECTION INJUPPER CANADA.
INSURRECTION INJUPPER CANADA. The New York packet ship Oxford arrived at Liverpool yesterday, (January 4,) with papers and letters to the IGih of December inclusive. The news she brings is of the utmost importance. The insurrection has spread to the Upper Province, where tite insurgents, under a Dr. Mackenzie, had .masfered in considerable numbers, and made an attaok on Toronto, which city by some accounts is said to have been in their possession for a day and a half. %Stibseqt,L-iit accounts however state that their attempt at rebellion has been crushed in its very infancy. The accounts from Lower Canada are extremely favourable. The civil war in that provincewa considered at an end, All the armed handi had been dispersed and it was believed at Bursington that there xvei-egoareely any insurgents in arms. By the same conveyance Quebec papers to the 8th and Montreal papers to the 9th have also heen received, the substance of which is as follows The Journal o/ Commerce of Dec. 13 says, that ou an application by the Governor of the Lower Province, inquiring what portion of regular troops in the Upper Province could be (pared if neces- 'V ,A t ([ sary, Sir F. Head laconically replied all;" and immediately sent cff the regitlai- troops. The dis- affected in Upper Canada, taking advantage of their absejice, made a dash on Toronto, which they captured. The rebels are re orted to be 5000 strong, headed by Mackenzie, Bidwell, and Parker. The Governor and all the ofiicials were pent up iu the market-place; many buildings were burnt, some lives were lost, and several taken prisoners. The "patriots' require from the Governor that he shall dismiss the Parliament, allow the peop'e to elect the Legislative Council, and that he shall leave the country wis bin two weeks. The same Journal of Den- 14, gives an account of the re-taking of Toronto by the Royalists. The insurgents were driven from the city, and a regular engagement took place at about two miles from it, between them and ttic Royalisl-q, in which several lives were lost, and the insurgents fled. Sir b. Head immediately issued a Proclamation offering a reward of £ 1000 to anyone who will appre- hend and deliver up to justice William Lyon Mackenzie, and « £ 5U0 to any one who will appre- hend and deliver up to justice David Gibson, or Samuel Lount, or Jesse Lloyd, or Silas Fletcher, anil the- -.same re,,vird ,-ind i free parlon will be given to any of their accomplices who will render this public service, except he or they hall hav committed in his own person the crime of murder or arson." A correspondent of the Times, with reference to the apprehended interference of subjects of the United States, writes from Washington, under date of Dec. 14, in the following terms "There is a settled determination on the part of the Administration, so far as I can judge from the solemii declaration of men, to preserve in this con- test a most perfect state of neutrality. In this de- termination the Executive will be supported by each and every party in Congress. The contiguity o,LCana(la, however, to some of the Eastern States, when taken iu connexion with the disputed boun- dary between the provinces of Great Britain and the state of Maine, will naturally increase the difficulty of preserving that strict neutrality which I am convinced it is the wish of this Government to preserve." The writer of a letter from Philadelphia, dated Dec. 10, on the same topic, observes— "The Government of the United States has be- haved most honourably; and, as you will per- ceive by the papers, has taken measures to prevent recruiting, or any interruption of the friendship that happily exists between the two nations. With reference to the war itself, the general opinion here is that the worst of it has passed over; and that the defeat oC the insurgents, with the ener- getic measures that have been pursued, will pre- vent any further outbreak in the lately disturbed district." The following correspondence of the Times, underdate of Montreal, Dae. a, will be deemed in- teresttng A party of about 30a regulars returned here on Thursday, having visited Alaska, St. Denis, St. Cholrles, Point Oliver, Chambly,. &c. and through- out their route they did not meet with a single rebel. The habitan.t same its to them by dozens with their arms, and expressed great regret for having allowed themselves to be m is I ed by their leaders, whom they denounce most bitterly for having deserted them when it became necessary to fight. It seems they all ran away at St. Charles. Martial law is now declared, and large rewards are offered for about twenty of their leaders. Franchese, Marchand, and Soupras have sent in to the At'ot ney-General to be allowed to return, but he has given them to understand they iniist- take their chance. None of the principal leaders are yet tali en, nor is it known where they are. An ex- pedition of seven companies is, going off immedi- ately to the lines to clear the country bordering on the,;) and to give confidence to the township peo- ple. On their return, which maybe in about a week, an expedition on a large scale will be sent against the rebels at the Lake of the Two Moun- tains,'where it is believed Girard, a Suiss, who was in Bitonitparte's army, has between 2,000 and 3,00D men of the worst characters in the country they will most probably be simultaneously attacked from above and below—from above by militia from Upper Canada, St. Andrew's, aud the Ottawa, and from below by the troops. The troops cannot move until the rivers are frozen. I hope Government will send out in the spring several regiments, otherwise the people might be led again to rise."
THE ARMY.
THE ARMY. Major-General Sir Thomas Pearson, formerly of the.23d Fusileers, ha, we understand, been of- fered a command in Canada, where his know'edge of t he country and inhabitants, added to his high military character, must render .him an able as- sistrtiit to Sir J Colborne. We stated in our publication on Wednesday, that some doubt existed whether a regiment of cavalry or a few squadrons would be sent to Canada; we were correct, as we now learn that three squadrons se'-ected from the King's Dragoon Guards and 7th Hussars constitute the force in- tended for this particular service. The 1st battalion of the GrenStRer Guards are to replace the 2d battalion of the same regiment at Windsor, the latter being under orders for Canada. We have heard a whisper of some contemplated resignations in the Guards in consequence of being under orders for America; but we trust, for the honour of the service, that the report may be it)coi We are enabled to supply our readers with in- foimation, on which they may implicitly rely, as to the exact number of additional troops which are destined for Canadian service, viz:—Six troops of the 1st Dragoon Guards, of fifty rallk alld file each four troops of the 7th Hussars, of ttfiy rank and file each the second battalion of the Grenadier Guards, consisting of sot) rank and file; the second battalion of 1he Coldstream Guards, of 800 rank and file six companies, of the 1 lib Foot, of 10J each six com- panies of the 73d Foot, of 100 each; and six com- panies of ihe 93d, of 100"each. It will thus appear that the entire farce destined for Canada at present does not exceed 390J men, — United Service Gu- zelle. UOYAL AIITILLKHY.—Colonel Campbell (bro- (her to the distinguished Ad.-niral about to be re- lieved on the Afiican station, and also of the Colonel of the 74ill Regiment) has been selected to command the Artillery which will be; sent out to Canada. Colonel Campbell is at Woolwich, and has ollly retired a few mouths from the command of •lie Artillery in the West Indies. Two companies of field Itatreries (three six-pounders and one eight- inch howitzer to ekicig, one troop of Ai-tillet-y (two guns), with the Rocket Troop, will form the hriiradc and expect daily to emhark for Canada.- ibid.

The current number of the Medical Gazette con- tain, a leading article on the use of arsenic in the preparation of candles, in which the facts upon which we have already dwelt are re-produced and enforced, the d»nger resulting from the volatiza- tion of the poisonous mineral is pointed out and some facts are related in illustration thereof. Ainong'tliese we fliid the following recent case of poisoning, which terminated fatally. As it is very instructive, we copy it entire ,It Phil- lips told„the committee of a case which o.-curred in 1838 at Falmoutn. Mr Heard, who was delivering a lecture on the gases at the Mechanics' Institute inhaled a portion of arsenuretted hydrogen gas, and died about ten days afterwards, in spite of medical assistence. The lecture was delivered on the 5th of I)ecettiber, the experiments in illustration were performed on the 19th, when the fatal inhalation took place, and Mr Beard died on the 29tli." The largest steamer in her Majesty's navy is the Gordon recently f built, being of 1,150 tons, b .ilders' measurement. She will carry 20 day, coals, 1,000 troops, 156 crew, with stores and pro- visions for all tor a period of six months. The engines are of and the vessel i so constructed that the macltinery can scarcely be reached by shot. IONTK A ORDINARY MODE OF RESUSITATION A Youth, named Henry Rice, having fallen ioto the basin, City-road, a quarter of an hour elapsed before he could be got out. The hov was conveyed to the V* enlock Anns, and two surge'mj immediately at(ended, who, after an hour s exertion, were un- successful in their attempts to restore the youth to I ite. A drunken man in the 'ap-room, waking from his sleep, and hearing that the medical inf-n had failed in their attempts, staggered into the room and said he could restore the boy, and applying his mouth to that of the jouth (at the same time in- eluding the nostrils), and by strong suction, as if drawing the breath from the patient, actually reno- vated the Ipd in a lew minutes, to the astonishment of all present. This was the ninth person wliaom this individual had restored to life in similar manner. This extraordinary case has excited much speculation, and .has led to the conjecture that an instrument might be made to answer the means adopted in these instances of resuscitation) which would be highly benciicial in every point of view.
