It was no interest of his in¬ dividually, but it was a «rjoat interest L'> I he public. For the reasons slated last year, ho should recommend the adoption of the llil!, as it would be adding to the property, lie was as anxious as any nrni to encourage learning, and hoped they would foroj the Clergy to benefit themselves by levying the rate and laying out the sums received fbr their beneJit. lie did nor mean the present Bill to ?:o so far as to tax IS-'irraeks in York, or the Government House, as some Gentle¬ men apprehended. Mr. Burwcll had no doubt ^C fhe jntiNi- tions of the Honorable (rontle.man hejng good ; but if the present Bill were passed in¬ to a law, its operation would b« unjust; there were 8,400,000 acres, one-seveull'i of which were Clergy and one-s**venth Crow.) re¬ serves ; trie*tax upon whkh would amount to £20,000, and upon a second calculation £0,000- Thc Speaker said, that according to tiie presentBill, the Indians mu-T be jurors, as it wasfrom the assessment rull that jurors were selected.

POOR SCHOLAR. Feb. i$il$ 1820. FOR THE KINGSTON ClITtONICXE. ■ Mr. Editor, In your last paper you gave W the value of the Imports and Exports at the port of Quebec for the pad year 1819. The former you eftimatc at fourteen or fifteen hundred thoufand pounds—the latter at feven hundred and thirty-fix thoufand pounds currency. The differ* ence mud be remitted in Bills of Exchange, and gives a very good average of the expenditure of Government in thefe Pro¬ vinces. What the fituation of the Cana¬ das would be without this immenfe fum fpent by the Army and Navy, which during the lad year was not lefs than QT70o;000 Beetling, your readers may cafily perceive by looking at the deplorable condition of New-York the great em¬ porium of the United States. But I write nor to expatiate ou the vad advantages which we reap '"rom our con¬ nexion with our mother Country, and the little return which we have yet been able to make, nor on the gratitude which every well difpofed peribn in thi* province feels for the land of his Forefathers ; my object is to put you in poffeffion of the Imports from Great Britain to the Colo¬ nies about feventy years ago, by which you will fee that there is reafon to be en¬ couraged at the progreflive in-creafe of our trade. Dr. Franklin dates the value of the imports from Great Britain (exclufive of Scotland) into the Northern Colonies at two different periods, viz; from 1744 to 1748, and from 1754 to 1758 taken as is fuppofed from the English Cudom-lioufc books as follows. 1744................£ fi \<\ lit 1 IS; 4 \7±n V<£ 'till • 9 • ^ 1746..................754,*)45 : « : 3 U47..................75*6.618 : "> ; 5 1743..................$£G,&#3 : IC : u o Total f3.48ft.H8S,: .1 *> 1754.. 1755.. 175o.. 17;->7.. 1758..

This war, which has been generally called the French war of 1 755> was oc¬ cafioned in a great meafiire by a- co^teft for boundaries and limits in North America, between the Engl ml and French. The trade to the Canadas you will perceive Mr. Editor, is greater now than the average of the lad of thefe periods if taken at one and a half Million of Im¬ ports, and very near an average of only 1,400,000, and thefe were years of war, and confequently give more than the ufual tTade of the Colonies had there been peace. But the lad year was not only a time of profound tranquility, but of un¬ common commercial prefTurc, and if not¬ withstanding, our Imports and Exports were fo great, we have fnrely good reafon to anticipate a rapid improvement. It is true, the vad fums of money fpent by Government in the Country give finews to enterprife, but thefe will not in all likelihood be diminilhed, and 39 our means increafe we fhall become able to avail ourfelves of the great privileges which jwe enjoy in trading to all our fitter Colonies as well as to Great Britain. Yours &c. FOIt TUT. KINGSTON* C2SKOKICCC. ■ Messrs. Editors, I have no doubt but that men off RCUSe and learning have already perceiv¬ ed the error which Tiro committed in guessing (it. the puerile question ; but fearing lest he, by his lipwisdom, should deceive the populace, I shall endeavour, with simplicity, to show the exteusiveness of his erroi*. He has guessed the diiferciire between the round aud square to be £51W()Q : i 1 G, which being taken from the value of the square, leaves £107005 : 0 ; C= 3910100,5 ?=: circumference in inches. Hence 1970050,25 (=half ctr.)+G'2tj8. 29375 (=.:o:iteutsio inches) £±190870-** 02 19 acres. Thus the shillings do not compass enough into 135 acres or more. Now if Tiro h^d guessed the difference fo have been £53705 : 9 : 8 : l2 he would have guessed much nearer, for the value f the r/Muul.oun hniM^^li'iZ^lf.V;^*;'?/:?: =5$9439d9t49s. ( — fir.) ll.Mirc 1971- 101,145 ( = !ialf c*ft) +6973040*000 (= iaIfdlam.)=123058»9G9OOO^l44OO87 (=-ontents in in.)= 197 I 40J I 17'acr'^ ; which at 20 shillings amount to £l!)7L- 40 : 2 : 3: <l which taken from the value of the square leaves £53765 : 9 : 8 : '2. Therefore Tiro h&Sguessed too much by £lS5 : I :9 : 2. Uow astonishing! alas! I have little hope of Tiro, for u Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit ? there is more hope of a fool than of him." * ' Admitting I have guessed, and "guess¬ ed most abominably," what have I done more than Tiro ? Is he not inexcusable? and wherein he has judged mc has he not condemned himself, being guilty of the same thing ? Again, supposing ! have guessed wrong TlRO (if he hrvs one grain of common sense) must perceive it to be a false assertion in Saying I have guessedtigixm. Uut if f have not given a correct answer then surely I Know not what he means by his uflattering ques¬ tion." But he wishes me to exhibit my work, and unless J tt satisfactorily an- swer" his question he shall " da line a correspondence*3 with me, and I hi.*, he is so welcome to do that (if 1 have not) 1 shall r.ot comply with his rcqui-st. What more shall I sa) ? I will say to Trito as .Job said to lii.s friends who accused him falsely, <-* tf\\ that yon would alfogr'tltrr hold your peace ; and it should lie voef wisdom.,4+ For surely I know nothing he COllld do which would he more for his credit than to omit guessing, repiovinp-, .iiid blackguarding^ in so erroneous, of- fkious^&nd hoorish a matmci as !ie has dene heretofore. In short [ should advrss ?>Tr. Tiiio not to trouble himself too much in despairing of other people's abilities until he obtain a thorough knowledge of the littleness of hi:* own. Yours. &c. kc. I. M.

T ron riir. Kiscsroy cunosicr.r. Mcfrs. Editor:, Among i!ie many evils complained of in this Townfhip, there is one, which of all others, molt defcrvea public cenfure ; that is, the rude behaviour oi many of our youth of both fexes in the houfe of pub¬ lic worfliip, and at the lime of Divine Ser¬ vice. Notwithftandmg frequent admoni¬ tions from the pulpit, young men and young women crowd together, and many of the former cannot be prevailed upon to retire to their own fide of the Church, but re¬ main with their hats on their h^ads, draw the attention of the audience by a continu¬ ed whifper, and difplay many afts of inde¬ cency during Divine fervice. This con- duft is mod pra&ifed in large congrega¬ tions, and more particularly at our Quar¬ terly Meetings, and I am forry to have occafion to add, by thofe who confider themfelves among the fir ft clafs in the Townfhip. What the motives of thefe young Gentlemen are, I am at a lofs to conjedlure—they would blufh to be rank¬ ed among infidels, and yet their conduft befpeaks infidelity ;—it may proceed from midaken notions of gallantly, or perhaps fiom an inclination to furnifh amufement for the vulgar. Decent behaviour in the houfe of worfliip h a duty we owy to God, in Gurfelvesj and to focielv, and thole who ;r 1 inv'l.lTn.ja ';> v*in w' U C\ :ftfsna i*. prayer, fhould at fal'fi not hinder theft m heir devotions.
