ALEX ANDER'S OARDING- fall into the River St. Lawrence, co how to use Capital Letters. " Tt is too plain for argument that this HOUSE, % BY HUGH GRAY. sie This is precisely'the case of the British Government and Canada. The compati- son I have made between the Canadians and the ignorant eadstrong youth, will no doubt be deemed by them highly Anti-Ca- _nadian, yet I think it will hold good in every point. If we take a view of the increase of popu- lation in Upper and Lower Canada for some years past, we shall see that the in- crease of those speaking English has been much greater, in proportion to the original stock, than those speaking French ; so that in time, these will be left in the 1 inurity. This arrives from the great influx of peo- ple from Europe and from the United States, who generally prefer settling either in Upper Canada, or in the townships of Lower Canada : there land is more easily procured, and the tenures better under- stood. Canada must in time become a great, populous, and trading country. Nature has given a great facility to mercantile in- -tereourse ; the large lakes and rivers open up a vast extent of country; and they will infallibly be surrounded by a people who speak English. The Canadians of Lower Canada (to whom I beg leave to be under- stood to infer) ought to recollect that Ca- nada forms a part of America; and that the language of North America 1s English, and ever will be English--English is the language of the whole extent of America, from the Frozen Ocean to the Gulf of Mexi- co, Itisalso the language of a great part of the West Indies; itis the language of government and mercantile men in the whole extent of the East Indies--a country as large as Europe, not to mention its be- dng the language of New Holland (an im- mense continent of itself;) and of the Cape of Good Hope and among other British settlements: and next to their own it is the . language generally used by mercantile men and seamen in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the Russian Empire: so that the Eng- lish language may be said to be at present even, but will most assuredly, in the course . of time, be the most universal of all lan- guages, On the ¢ermination of the American war, it appears to have been the intention of Government to make the River Penobscot, in the district of Maine, the boundary line of the two countries. Atthat time there were no settlements to the eastward of thatriver. Unfortunately, the Enolish commissioners (probably from not being personally acquainted with the country, and not being sufficiently instructed on the potat, or, from being over pursuaded by the Americans) .abandoned that line of boundary which was clearly and well de- fined, and adopted the River St. Croix, which has produced so muci dissention and discussion. The map clearly shows that the Penobscot was the preferable boundary in every sense of the word. The 2nd Article of the definitive treaty of peace runs thus :-- "And that all disputes which might arise in future on the subject of the boun- daries of the United States may he pre- vented, it is hereby agreed and declared that the following are, and shall be the boundaries, viz: from the north west angle of Nova Scotia, viz: that angle which is fo med by a line drawn due north, from from the source of St. Croix river, 'to the Lighlands ; along the said highlands, whieh divide those rivers which empty themselyes Vito the river St. Lawrence from those which fall into the Atlantic Ocean, to the north-western-most head of Connecticut River ; thence down alone the middle of that river to the 45th deavee of north lati- tude ; from thence by a line due west on said latitude, until it strikes the river Iro- quois, or Cataraguy ; thence along the mid- le of the said river into Lake Ontario, through the middle of the said lake, until it strikes the communication by water be- tween that lake and Lake Erie; thence #long the middle of said communication in- to Lake Evie; through the middle of said Tike untilit arrives at the water communi- -eation between that lake and Lake Huron; thence along the middle of said water com- donnieation into Lake Huron; thence through the middle of the said lake to the Waiter communication between that lake ake Superior; thenee through Lake r northwards of the Isles Royales and eaux to the Long Lake; thence through the middle of Long Lake and the Lake of he Woods, and from thence ona due west eto the River Mississippi ; Ce by Tg 6 drawn along the middle of ~ the Mississippi til it' shall intersect the northernmost part of the 81st degree of horth latitude ;--south by a line to be druwn due east from the determination of the line last mentioned, in the latitude of au degrees north of the Equator, to the middle of the River Apalachizola, or Cata- Nouche; thence along the middle thereof to Us junction with the, Flint River ; thence sstraizit to the head of St. Mary's River, ence down along the middle of S¢.

A correspondent of the Rochester De- Moerat gives some interesting facts in rela- tion to the Trunk Telegraph Line to be constructed from Detroit to Quebec, in ad dition to those we gave a few days since. He bestows upon our neighbors no more than just praise in saying, that when once awake to a subject, as they seem to be now, they do nothing by the halves. This great line, with its branches, connecting all the principal cities, towns, and yillages in both Provinces, will be 1,617 miles in length, with 135 offices, The capital stock, the correspondent of the Democrat says, is $200,000, and all subscribed, numbering over 2,00. shareholders. The object has been to distribute the intevest in the line amonyr all the business men where the offi- ces are located, no person being allowed to take over $100. The main line and branches have been steadily progressing in construction for the last eight months, Already over 1,000 miles of the poles are up--some 600 miles wites--several of the offices opened, and business commenced. Mivers are crossed at several points by a sub-marine wire. The longest place is at Bay Quinte. The sub-marine, at this place, was put down last week, and works finely, meeting all expectations. We give the locations of the routes.

D. Snow. of Detroit, and former- ly of Rochester, has been appointed gener- al Superintendent of those extensive lines. The connections of the line with the United States will be made by sub-marine wire, from Port Sarnia across St. Clair River to Port Huron, and thence down to Detroit; across the Niagara Riyer with Buffalo; ac:oss the St Lawrence from Kingston to Cape Vincent; across the St. Lawrence from Prescott to Ogdensburgh ; across the St. Lawrence, two miles below Montreal, to Portland, Maine. At Quebec it connects with the Quebec and Halifax line, recently gone into opera- tion. ! Some seven miles of the sub-marine wire arrived from London a few days since. It weighs a ton to the mile. The old line of Telegraph in Canada has been very lucrative to stockholders,--57 er cent. dividend has been paid within the last three years, and 32 percent. is looked for in January next. The stock is 20 per vent. above par, according to the Montreal Brokers' Cireular. School at home. Few persons realize how much may be done in a thousand pleasant ways at home. Let a parent make a companion of his ebild, converse with him familiarly, put to him questions, answer inquiries, communicate facts, the result of his reading or obserya- tion, to awaken his curiosity, explain difii- culties the meaning of things, and the rea- son of things--and all this in an easy play- ful manner, without seeming to impose a task, and he himself will be astonished at the progress which will be made. The expetiment is so simple that none need hesitate about performance. The first im- portant requisite is that there be mutual confidence between parent and child ; then, in every season, and in every place, there may be such lessons and recitations as shall benefit both ; imparting new facts and prin- ciples to one, and elucidating new views and giving them, new foree to the other. If at the barn, the boy may be required,to give the principle of raising water by the pump, or some other question in hydrau- lics; if teaming or plowing, why the work is performed easier when the team is near the load than whenfarther removed @ if in the morning when the grass is sparkling with pearly drops, how dew is deposited ; or, if in the silent and impressive evening hours, why he is chilled in passing the val- ley, and finds again the genial warmth on ascending the hill, When around the fire- side, daughters may state the principle upon which the smoke ascends the chim- ney, and why the air is warmest at the top of the room--Canada Christian Advo- cate, a & (From the Letter Writer.) Carps of compliment should be short, easy and consistent with politeness. They must begin with the title or style of the wiiter, and care must be taken immediate- ly after to mention, in a respectful manner, the style or title of those to whom they are addressed; they must contain but one subject, and that should be expressed with elegance and perspicuity. The following are given as examples, and may be varied as Occasion requires. I. Mr. and Mrs, Cecil's compliments to Mr. and Mrs, Howard, and desire the favor of their company on Wednesday next. to drink tea and spend the evening. Monday morning. If. Mr. and Mrs. Howard return their compliments to Mr. and Mrs, Cecil, and will certainly do themselves the pleasure to wait on them. Or, III.

Such sentences should al- so be introduced in this manner ; with two inverted commis, ("), and closed with two apostrophes, ("). 5. A Capital must never be written in the middle of a word among small letters. 6. The pronoun I, and the exclamation O, must be written with a capital. 7.

The long jf, must never be inserted immediately after the short s, nor at the end of a word, * Fueiive Stayus.--Judge Grier, in a |Jate case, says that the mere extending to fugitives the common charities of life does not make persons liable under the law. As the language he employs is somewha; act does not intend to make common chari- ty a crime, or treat that man guilty of an offence against his neighbor, who merely, furnishes food, lodging, or raiment, to the hungry, weary or naked wanderer, though he be an apprentice or slaye. On the con- trary, it contemplates not.only an escape of the slave, but the intention of the master to reclaim him. It points out the mode in which his reclamation is to be made, and itis for an unlawful interference or hindr- ance of this right of reclamation, secured to the master by the constitution and laws, that this action is given. The harboring made criminal by this act, then, requires some other ingredient besides a mere kind- ness or charity rendered to the fugitive. The intention or purposes which accom- panies the act must be to encourage the fugitive in the desertion of his master, to further his escape, and impede and frus- trate his reclamation. This act must e- vince an intention to elude the vigilance of the master, and be calculated to obtain the object."--Detroit Tribune. Tue Pustic Desr or Great Brirarw ---The amount of the public debt of Great Britain has been reduced. in the last 30 years, 260,000,000 about one-sixteenth of the whole amount. The interest has, however, been reduced one-half--A much larger amount of the principal of the debt would have been paid, had it not been for the large sums paid to the West India planters for emancipating their slaves, and the sums required in consequence of the famine attendant upon the loss of the, pota- to crop in Ireland. Frax Cornon.--It is stated that Mr. J. Knowles, of Trenton N. J., has found out a process for converting flax from its crude state into what is commonly called flax cot- ton, in a very few hours, and at a trifling expense. Drstens upon Hayit. We have seen the following significant paragraph in sev- eral newspapers :-- 'It is stated that two American gentle- men, officers of the army of the Dominican Republic, in the Island of Hayti, have made arrangements with certain parties in the United States for the purchase of a steam er, in which they propose to take a large number of emigrants to Dominica. Eight hundred men, it is said, have already enlis- ted for colonization among the Dominicans, the terms offered being highly advantage- ous to men of enterprise and intelligence,' There is constant hostility between the Government of Wayti and the eastern part of the island, styled the Dominicans Repub- lic. Is not this hostility fomented by the white Americans who have obtained foot- hold there? This so-called Republic is a- bout as much a reality as the Mosquito King. --WNational Hra. St" Warmers sons had better learn to hold the plow and feed the pigs, than to measure tape and cut buttons. A Ohzse after Fugitives, Some days since the Cincinnatti Gazette noticed a stampede among Kentueky slaves, in which a number succeded in effecting their escape. Three of them (twomen and a women) got upon the cars of M. L. & L. E. road south of West Liberty. On the cars they were met by one Don Piatt anex- judge of the Hamilton Common Pleas Court. He recognized them as the pro- perty of a relative of his. ' He approaehed them, made himself known to them, told them that his father, who resides near West Liberty, was in want of laborers, and he assured them that if they would stop with him, that he (Don) and his friends would purchase them and give them their freedom. The fugitives confided in him-- left the cars at West Liberty and tobk u quarters with old Piatt. After they hat been there.a few days, the arrangement be- Corner of Bates and Congres sts. * * .? RS.
