ON THE 13fn OF NOVEMBER, WILL BE ISSUED, THE FIRST NUMBER OF A NEW MUSICAL SERIAL, TO BE CALLED - ïtMHt&iVonV-.rpIIlS Publication is intended to occupy tlio JL same position in Music that the better class nf periodicels do in Literature.It will be a re-po&iüôJy ci lue\tgenius of the day ; a casket lined with gemSrnrw» garnered from the mines of*the Old and New Worlds.It has been, and is, a matter of just complaint, that the most elegant and refining art of music is, by reason of its exclusiveness, almost beyond the reach of the great masses.To maintain an acquaintance with the current productions Of the modern school, requires an outlay which few can afford to bestow on the gratification of a single taste.Two dr three pieces a year\u2014pieces that have become so obviously popular that not to possess them argues a lack of musical appreciation\u2014-are the most that a person of limited means may procure.The Musical Repository will, it is believed, remedy, this deficiency.Abandoning the old theory of large profits and small returns, the proprietors are determined to seek a rem., ne ration for their labor and outlay in a large and widely-spread circulation of their Work.To attain this object they oiler the following favorable conditions to the public.1.\tA weekly issue of the best Music,'consisting of eight beautiful printed pages, full music size, for the remarkably low price of Six Cents.In point of elegance and artistic accuracy, \\he Musical Repository can have none superior.2.\tA judicious selection from all the modern operas, arranged iu a simple, effective, and pleasing manner, and generally in such keys as the majority of pianists can execute.3.New translations the of libretti, or where that is impracticable, original words, in which sense will be consulted as well as sound.In scenas, cavatinas, national songs, &c., the original words wi|l.be given in addition to the foregoing.4.\tA complete series of the most popular ba-lads.5.\tSelections from the composers of dance music, Julien, Musard, Strauss, Lanner, Labitzky, Ambrose Thomas, Oha,rles D5Albert, &c\\, will contribute to this department of the work.6.\tSelections and arrangements (made, in all cases with especial reference to progress,) from the classical composers : Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and other great luminaries of the musical firmament, will impart their lustre to this portion of the work.7.\tThe latest and best productions in every school, and by all thé composers of eminence now living.The arrangements for carrying these promises into execution have been completed.It will remain with the public to reward the experiment with the patronage it deserves.Nothing but a large, almost unlimited sale, will remunerate the proprietors.It is believed, however, that the day has arrived when the masses require new vnd good music with the same punctuality and 'icapness that they can procure current literate.The proprietors of the Musical Reposito-are determined to try the experiment in the complete and satisfactory manner, and hope for th e sa^e ^ie 4\tas much as for their c wn\u2019 that they, may not be mistaken.Orde.\u2019\u20193 fr°m Country Dealers promptly Ct tu ry .most at- tended \\ A liber.lo.al discount allowed to the Trade.H.MONTGOMERY, Publisher, N.Y.JOHN ARMOUR, No 9 >.Gwat St.James Street, Montreal.;

the proposition this time coming from the Permanent Committee appointed by the Convention of Delegates for the District of Montreal.It may not be without utility to add to that publication some account of the chief differences between this project and that of Mr.Attorney General Drummond, brought before Parliament last session.The greatest divergence in principle between the two measures is in the disposition of the water-powers and the wild lands still unconceded in Seigniories.Mr.Drummond committed an illogical blunder, as it always appears to us, in declaring the water-powers the property of the censitaire before whose land they may be found ; it being quite evident that either the State had conferred them on the Seignior ; or still held them itself; or, in the event of a certain theory, that these properties belonged to the Seignior as high justicier only, being adopted as true, had given them conditionally to the Seigniors, and assumed them when the possibility of the conditions being fulfilled ceased for ever.That they could belong to the censitaire, who never contemplated their acquisition, and who paid no more for this valuable property than his neighbours for lands without it, seemed to us out of the question.The project now to be considered, is free at least from this absurdity of picking out a single man from several hundreds, and\u2019bestowing upon him, as a mere appendage to his property.something many times the value of the pioperty which alone he intended to acquire.It may not have hit upon the strictly equitable, or, we should rather say, legal disposition, since in this case equity is not to be separated from the rules which men have under stood, and to which they have trusted in acquiring their property ; but it at least distributes the property between the parties who alone can have any claim, that is to say, between the Seignior and the public.If the water-powers have been rendered available for industrial purposes, the Seignior is to keep them.If not, they are to be sold for the advantage of the redemption fund.The riparian proprietor, however, should have a pre-emption claim.With regard to the unconceded lands, we think the proposition now published is also a great improvement on Mr.Drummond\u2019s bill.The Attorney General would have left these in the hands of the Seigniors, and forced the concession of them by the latter to Tom, Dick or Harry, who might first ask for them at four sous per arpent of rent, subject also to the lods et rentes'*ov mutation fines, and this without any security that the said Tom, Dick or Harry would fulfil their terms of this very easy contract, or.would doua^ttnn^ but despoil Æe posai of the lands by sale gets rid of this anomalous provision, and also gets rid of the dregs of the tenure which would still remain until the lands thus conceded after the passimr of thp.wn should be commuted other clauses or it \u2014 It is true that this deprives the public hereafter of the right to obtain lands at a low rate of rent, which has often been represented as a great advantage ; but upon consideration it may well be doubted whether there is any very good reason why the Crown should demand the full value for wild lands in one section of the country, while it compels them to be granted in another for less than their value, especially as it may turn out, in case the public assumes the part of indemnifying the Seigniors for what they lose by the arbitrary limitation of the rate of rent, that the colonizer of the township, who buys his land at full price, must be taxed to relieve the censitaire, who takes his farm on easier terms.Whatever may have been thfe original intention of the obligation on the Seignior to concede, that obligation can now only resolve itself into an interest enjoyed by the whole, public in land which the Seignior holds, in what, for want of a better name, we will call trust.But it is obvious that only a very small part of the public, and a part marked out by mere accident of locality and occupation, can enjoy this interest by forcing the Seignior to concede at rates lower than the real value.Indeed, it is almost certain that such a scheme with whatever caution it was guarded, would give rise to large land speculations on the part of individuals, either with the concurrence of the Seigniors, and for their profit, or without their consent.The sale of the lands, and the division of their price between the public and the Seignior, gets rid of the tenure so far as these new lands are concerned, and at once settles the rights of both claimants ; but so, that, instead of a portion of the public, the whole public enjoys its share.\u2014 It may be that the division is not in equitable shares ; but the principle is better than that of the law suit breeding arrangements, proposed last session, and the proportions of the partition we take to be matter of detail, capable of future adjustment.The great merit of this part of the plan is, that it completely cuts up the tenure root and branch for the future.Mr.Drummond also proposed to give the Seigniors compensation for the banality; this plan proposes to give no such compensation, and as the water powers are to be left to the Seignior, we think rightly so.During the discussion last fall, we more than once pointed out this as the best arrangement of the two subjects together\u2014the allowing of the Seigniors to retain the water, and the abolition, without compensation, of the banality.In fact, while it is desirable on general principles to get rid of the banality, as the censitaire, after the abolition of the monopoly, would still have to get his corn ground, and to pay for it, as at present, to saddle him with the indemnity to the Seignior for the loss of the grinding monopoly, would be equivalent to making him pay twice for grinding.On the other hand, in practice, the Seigniors rarely enforce their banal rights in any other way than by preventing the construction of mills in positions to compete with their own ; so that, giving them the retention of the water powers, you give them the practical enjoyment of the advantages they now possess, until they choose to dispose of them.Coming now to the question of cens et rentes, we are sorry to find the same stumbling block in this which has marked all attempts for the change of the tenure\u2014the determination to see a certain fixed rent as a part of the law, and to make it a part of the law if it is not so at present.Here the present project is thoroughly illogical; for in one of its clauses it proposes that a suit shall be instituted to ascertain whether rates of rente in excess of four sous per arpent are legal or not, and one would suppose that if the result of that suit were to declare them legal, that would end the matter.Not at all.Whatever the result of the suit they are to be reduced to four sous, the only difference is that in case the decision is favorable to the Seignior, somebody else, than the censitaires\u2014that is to say the public at large is to pay the censitaire\u2019s debt Why should this be so.Why should a censitaire not pay the full value of his land, as well as a settler in a township unless really the law gives him the right to get it at less than the real value ?If the alleged excessive rates are legal, where is the wrong to be redressed at the expense of people, who must have sufferred a somewhat worse wrong, if it be a wrong to pay the market value of land, instead of something much below the market value?We never could see much justice in the outcry for the reduction of the rentes.We are convinc- ed of the historical fact that Seigniors were limited, if not by express enactment, certainly by the constant surveillance and arbitrary power of the Crown, as to the rates of rente they could demand ; but admitting this in the fullest extent, it would be, we think, easy to show, that by no sound theory of equity, can any censitaire be proved to have more than a shadowy claim to be released from his bargain at other people\u2019s expense.However, we have no disposition to fine draw an argument, of this kind ; but we shall always protest against the idea that men who have purchased lands, fully aware of the rente with which they are charged i paying less money on account of that rent than they would otherwise have paid ; are now to be relieved of the rent by the public\u2014in other words, to have part of their purchase money restored to them by the Government, out of the taxes of the landless, and of those who hold their land by a different tenure.With regard to first concessionaires, we are not disposed to make fine distinctions, though we believe, that strictly speaking, they have no right to reduction.But with regard to purchasers measuring the price according to the value of the land, and the burdens upon it, what possible concern can they have in the limit, real or supposed, of the legal rent ?If the rent were less, their purchase money would have been more, as it is more, their purchase money was less.We wish to put this matter in the clearest light, and shall therefore illustrate it in a manner that will admit of no cavil.Jean and Pierre are two farmers, who buy each a farm of one hundred acres, which would be of precisely the same value if they were both situated within townships, instead of within Seigniories.This value would be exactly £500 ; but Jean\u2019s purchase is an ancient concession, and the rent is accordingly but, say, one penny per arpent.Pierre\u2019s on the contrary is a newly conceded property, and the rent is eight pence per arpent.Jean\u2019s annual rent being 8s 4d, represents a capital of about £7 10s, he thererefore, instead of paying £500 down, pays £492 10s.Pierre\u2019s rent is £3 6s 8d, which represents a capital of about £55 10s, he, therefore, pays instead of £492 10s, like his neighbor, only pays £444 15s.How is one of these men worse off than the other ?Yet it is proposed to tax Jean, who has paid just as much for his land as Pierre, in order, without rhyme or reason, to reduce Pierre's rent by £2 10s per annum ; in other words, to make him a present of about £42, for which he has done nothing, and suffered nothing.Why should not al our citizens, liviug in houses built on land purchas; eidconstitut in the suburbs of Montreal and Quebec,come beforeParliameut and ask for relief in the same way ?This desire to reduce the fixed retiles) without any regard to law or equity, we have always protested against, and shall continue to do so whenever the subject comes up.The commutation of the lods et ventes is substantially the same as in Mr.Drummond\u2019s plan, with different means of valuation.With regard to some other features of the plan, they appear favorably! though we are unable to notice them all in detail.The great advance of all that is made, though wp have mentioned it for convenience last, is the adoption of the principle of compulsory and immediate commutation, but with payments of the commutation price distributed over several years.The issuing of debentures at once, on the credit of this fund, for the payment of the Seigniors; the committal of the question of the right to demand rents to the Courts, as regards the interest of the Seignior, instead of attempting to cut the knot by act of Parliament, are also good ; but the collection of the commutation money by the Government would create a terrible power of corruption, and ought to be otherwise contrived.Only think of whole counties, in which each voter would owe a few shillings or a few pounds per annum, which could be remitted or enforced at the pleasure of the agent of the Government 1 In conclusion, it is pleasing to see that the public opinion on this subject is rapidly becoming more mature and enlightened.If the question of the rentes were once thoroughly understood, as a simple arithmetical problem, there would be little to stand in the way of a satisfactory adjustment.The true obstacle is the belief that some circumstances give the right to a large portion of the community to have their debts paid by the rest.We are fa,r from thinking this opinion is a fraudulent one ; but, while it is entertained in perfect good faith, it is no less an obstacle to the remodelling of the tenure.Dutv op the Grand Jury.\u2014In reply to Sir Edward Coke, Judge Black stone, Chief Justice Campbell, and our very humble selves, the Pilot, on Tuesday last, publishes J udge Perrin\u2019s charge to the Grand Jury, at the Gle\u201d\" o\u2014\u2019-r-\t, -\u2014 .j-.uitaa\u2019Vr \"o mei j upon the rioters, at what is called the six-mil s-bridge affair, at the last Clare election, were i ndicted.We believe it was very generally held, both in England and Ireland, that Judge Perrin unisdirected the Grand Jury, as to the extent of th eir powers, on the occasion referred to, inasmuc h as he made them the judges of, whether the homicide committed was justifiable, excusable, or palliated by circumstances, in direct opposition to a fundamental principle of the English law, w hich holds every homicide to have been co mmitted \u201c of malice aforethought,\u201d until a Judge and Petty Jury have decided that it was not so.At all events, our quotations from Blackstoms and Chief Justice Campbell's late charge, in the case of the Lascars, must satisfy our readers that Judge Perrin\u2019s law is not Blackstone\u2019s law, nor Chief Justice Campbell\u2019s law.The Grand Jury, we need scarcely repeat, is, strictly, a secret tribunal) from which the public is rigidly excluded ; and it is contrary to every principle of either law or justice that any man should be tried, and either condemned or acquitted, before such a court.Judge Perrin\u2019s charge ought to have been to the Petty Jury.Montreai- as a Seaport.\u2014The prospects of our city as a seaport are now more brilliant than they have been at any previous period.Last year, no Atlantic steamer had ever reached us.\u2014 This year, we have had four visits from vessels of this class\u2014a matter of sufficient significance in itself ; but of much more, when it is considered that the experiment of 1853 is to be followed in 1854 by the establishment of three different steam companies, with several vessels of from 1,-500 to 2,500 tons burden each, guaranteed to make the voyage to Quebec in ten days from the British port.Messrs.McKean, McLarty & Co.have four steamers building, in addition to the \u201c Cleopatra \u201d, making five in all ; Messrs.Edmon-stone, Allan & Co.are the managers, and chief partners, we believe, in an association, which has now two vessels on the stocks, which the builders are bound to deliver by the 1st June ; and the company of which Mr.Shaw is the manager, are also building two similar vessels.We shall thus have a sufficient steam fleet for a weekly line throughout next summer and fall.In the winter, Messrs.McKean, McLarty & Co\u2019s, vessels will go to Portland ; the winter destination of the others is, we believe, not determined.These vessels will all be of the very best construction, after the most approved models of screw propellers, and, judging from the experience of the Cu-nard screw propellers Alps and Andes, there is every reason to believe that they will make timer little, if at all inferior to the paddle steamers, whether Cunard or Collins.We are, at all events, under the impression, that they will accomplish the voyage to Quebec as speedily as the present steamers do to New York.The Hon.and \u201cNotorious\u201d Malcolm Cameron.\u2014The readers of the Herald well know our opinion of this most successful of stump-orators, most ignorant of political chailatans, and most unscrupulous of demagogues.His position as a public man, is, indeed, a lamentable evidence of the want of intelligence in Upper Canada, scarcely equalled by that of the illustrious Monsieur Marchildon among ourselves ; but this would be no excuse for our refusing him justice, when his private character is falsely and slanderously assailed.We have pleasure, therefore, in publishing the following letter :\u2014 To the Editor of the Quebec Morning Chronicle.Sir,\u2014Observing in your paper of the 10th inst., copy of an article from the Hamilton Spectator charging me with speculations in the public property, I bave to say that my wont is not to notice any calumny of a general nature, but to trust to a character so perfectly notorious as mine is to defend itself ; I have, however, often asserted that if charged with any specific act, I would deny or explain it.Now the charge in this instance is specific, and is as follows :\u2014 \u201c We learn on the authority referred to, that the recent journey of the Hon.Malcolm Cameron, Her Majesty\u2019s Postmaster General in Canada, to the Western section ofthe Province, was not connected with the discharge of the onerous duties of his office, as might have been supposed.On the contrary, the Honorable gentleman\u2019s commission led him to the office of the Crown Lands Agent, for the County of Essex, in which was situate a large and valuable tract of Clergy Reserve lands.These lands had been valued a number of years ago, and had since, owing to the general improvement of the country, more than doubled in value the amount then set upon them.Mr.Cameron having formerly qualified himself for the office of Commissioner of Crown Lands, for which he so hopelessly sighed, and having still as a Minister access to the Records of that office, had become aware of this fact.Availing himself of this knowledge (such is the only inference to be drawn, if the facts be correctly stated,) he offered to purchase at the valuation so made the entire tract, or tracts of Reserves in the County.The agents,however, having doubted whether a recent Act of the Legislature, passed to prevent speculators from taking up tracts of Crown Lands to the injury of the Province, and which limited the number of acres which one person could purchase, did not apply to the case of Clergy Reserves, refused to make so large a sale without instructions from the seat of Government.Meantime, so the report goes, Mr.Cameron\u2019s name was set down for every Clergy lot in the County, and persons wishing to purchase were refused.The Agent at length received a letter instructing him that the Act passed to prevent speculations in Crown Lands did not apply to the Reserves, and the ¦frhole of them were bargained to Mr.Cameron, by paying only one-tenth of the purchase money down, leaving the balance to be paid in ten annual instalments 1\u201d In answer to which I now declare, that when in Upper Canada last, I proceeded no further west than Hamilton, that I never was in the office of the present Crown Land agent in Essex, that I never sought to buy any land, nor even sought to have my name put down for any in that or any other County since I have been a member of the Government, and I now further take this occasion to state, relative to this and many other land and timber slanders, that at no period during my membership of the Government have I ever bought one foot, portion or parcel of public land, either directly or indirectly ; nor moreover have I obtained by gift or agreement and interest, direct or indirect, in any public property, nor have I ever sought for or petitioned for any; again, that I have never sought for a limit to cut timber on the lands of the Crown at any time since I have been in Parliament, now seventeen years, preferring always to deal with individuals, that I might have it my power at any time to make this present statement; and I am thus ready at all times to answer a specific charge against any act of life, private or public, \u201c and to show my hands clean.\u201d I am, Sir, yours respectfully, MALCOLM CAMERON.Quebec, 17th Nov., 1853.Ottawa Railways.\u2014An article in the Montreal Herald of the 17th instant endeavors to show that the projected Montreal and Bytown Railway route is the shortest and best for the people of By town to reach the United States markets.The distance from Bylown to Prescott by Railway is called 56 miles, and the St.Lawrence ferry to the Ogdeusburgh depot 3 miles,\u2014while the actual length of rail is 53^ miles, and of ferry less than one mile.The distance via the Montreal route is proportionally shortened from the truth,.\u2014and so a convenient conclusion is arrived at.The people of Bytown have certainly received anything but assistance from Montreal in building their Railway, and for the interest now taken in it we have reason to feel grateful.But the people of Bytown and the Ottawa country generally are not ignorant of the geography of the country, and have shown good evidence that they have a well established opinion as to which is their best route to the Southern markets.A railway from Montreal to Bytown we hope to see, but such a road is not of sufficient importance to Bytown or the Ottawa Country to cause them to take any stock in it, or burden themselves with any obligations to hasten its construction.Such a road is emphatically a Montreal road, and had not Bytown secured the Railway to Prescott, a proposal for a road from Montreal to Bytown would now be treated in the same manner as it was treated m 1850.^ Tlje jp'TOî/mfob^ \u2018which' has Ckyù'\u2019
