eco nomy, and they cannot inform him, He calculates the oumber of acres of land in England, adds up the rental, and is again at fault.He inguires into the statistics of the Exchange, aud discovers that «ven that is inadequate; and, as a last resource, concludes that the whole world is tributary to this Quen of Cities.It is the heart of the Universe.all the circulation centres here, and hence are derived all those streams that give life and strength to the extremities.How vast, how populated, how rich, how well regulated, how well supplied, how clean, how well ventilated, how healthy! what a splendid city! How worthy of such an empire and such a people! What is the result of his experience?it is that there is no such couutry in tie wurld as England, and no such place in England as London ; that London is Letter than any other town in winter, and quite as good as any olber place iu sumuaer ; in short, containing not vniy all that he requires, but all that he can wish, in the greatest perfection.He desires vever to leave it.Local description, however, is not my object; | shall therefure, return to my narrative, Our examination of the Tuwer aod the Tunael occupied the whole day, and, though much gratitied, we were no less fatigued, On returniug to our lodgiogs, I found letters from Nova Scotia.Among others, was One from the widuw of an old friend, enclosing a memoriai to the Commander-in-Chief, setting furth the important and gratuitous services of her late husband to the lucal roverament of the province, aud soliciting for her son some situation in the ordnance department, which bad just fallen vacaut at Halifax.I kuew that it was not only out MESS PORK.Te HUNDRED BARRELS, just received.H.J.NOAD.Quebec, 1st December, 1843.4 IMPORTANT LITERARY ANNOUNCEMENT, | ENGLISH REVIEWS AND ; MAGAZINES.T HE Subseribers having made arrangements with the leading Tnglish publishers for the regular transmission of the R&viEws and MAGAZINES, wiil receive ther first supply by the man steamer which is to leave Liverpool on the 41h fanuary, and thev are gratified at being enabled to state that the prices which have been fixed où are fully lower than those formerly charged for the now prohibited Usted S'ates seprints For the Losnox QuarTERLY.the EpiNsuRrGH, the FoREIGN, and West- MINSTER Hkviews, the price per anoum will be 29s, 61.euch, delivered to Subscribers free of alt charges, for Biackwcon\u2019s, BENTLEY'S.and the Dusauin UNivER-ITY MAGAZINES, 32s.6d.each, delivered in hike manner The delivertes will bein Montresl, Quebec Kingston, Toronto, and Hamilton, and pariies resident in other parts of the Province may be supplied ou application to the Agents in anv of the above Towns, Ï As the expenses of transport, duties, &e , are very heavy, the under-igued wiil require Subscribers tn all Cases (0 pay at least «à half vear in advance on re\u2018eipt of the first number.It is proposed to add other periodicals to the list, should their Publishers enable the Subscribers to supply them at the same races as those above imentloncd, ARMOUR & RAMSAY, Montreal.AGENTS.IT.Cary & Co., Qui bec.Ramsay, Armour & Co., Kingston, Hugo Scobie, i H.& W.Rowsell, Tetomo.A.H.Armour & Co., Hamilton.QUEBEC SHEET ALMANACK, FOR 1844, UST PUBLISHED AND FOR SALE, at the «J Bookstore of Wy, NrrLsoN, 19, Mountain-street, and at the Bookstores of Tuoxas Cany & Co., and G.STANLEY.Buade - street\u2014 Price, Four Pence each, or TuREE SHILLINGS per dozen.CONTENTS: i Calendar, with the remarkable vents; fast and abstinence f daysin the Roman Catholic Church ; hss of the Members | of tbe Lxeeutve and Legidative Councils; Wember« of Êthe Legisiative Assembly; Heads of Military Depart- | menis ; Members of the Corporation ; Terms of Courts, &e, &e.Quebec, 30th October, 1843.!

they have no patron.In this country merit will always obtain a patron\u2014in tho provinces never.The English are a noble-minded, geuerous people, and whoever here deserves encouragement or reward, is certain to obtain either or both; but it must be a briiliant man, indeed, whose light can be perceived acruss the Atlantic.\u201d * 1 entertain, sir,\u201d 1said, \u201ca very strong preju- dive agninst relyiug on patrons.Dr.Juhason, atter a loug und fruitless attendance on Lord Chesterfield, says: \u2018 Seven years, my Lord, have vow passed since I waited in your outward roows, or was repulsed from your door; during which time [ have been pushing on my work, through difficulties, of which it is useless to complain, and have broaght it at last to the verge of publication, without one act of assistance, oue word of encuuragement, or one smile of favour.Such treatment 1 did not expect, for I never had a patron before.\u201d* \u201c Ah!\u201d said Mr Hopewell,\" a man who feels that he is always angry with somebody else.Dr.Juhnson is net #0 och to be admired for the inde.pendanco that dictated that lester, as coudemuved for the meanness aud servility of seven years of voluntary degradation.It is vo wonder he spoke with bitteruess ; for, while he censured his lordship he must have despised himself.There is great difference between a literary and a political patron.The former is not needed, aud A man dues Letter with out one.The latter is essential.A good book, like good wine, needs no bush ; but, to get an office, you want merit Or patrons; merits so great that they cannot be passed over, or friends so powerfal they cannot be refused.\u201d \u201cOh! you can\u2019t do nothin\u2019, Squire,\u201d said Mr.Slick ;
