George Strange Boulton, Esq. was pvopofed ns a candidate, and ad- dtefied the freeholders in an aole and ap¬ propriate fpeeeh, after w'hich a poll was demanded by Mr. Samuel Street Wilmot, the oppoting candidate; at the clofc of the poll on the first dr.y, Mr. Boulton had a majority of (!K| and on the iecond day a majority of ninety according to the public dfclaration of the returning oilier: on this day Mr. Bor^ton was d-fpousto dole the poll, but 'Mr. \CHnn>t decline;*, and the poll was fn ConiVqucace hept <»pcn un¬ til Saturday aftcrcoon, wher. it vvaa eloied by mutual confent, Mr. Boulton having a majority of about the lame number as on the fecond day.

We do not however, admire the plan of Mr. Stuart's book ; the man¬ ner in which he has blended ftaliftical re¬ marks, with political (peculations, and moral a<>d religious reflexions, is rather calculated tn.m'.rolex than inflruft the rea¬ der. Our limits w&\ not permit us to en¬ ter into a detailed notice of the work. We (hall content ourfclves with obferving that the difitiuilition on the Crown and Clergy rtferve&,and on what the author terms "the Deeded Lands," to fay the leall of it, leads to no practical refult- We are fur- prifed that a m;m of Mr. Stuart's moral, and political principles, would have thought of interfering with the rights of private property, or" the prerogative of the C-own, much less could we have imagined that he would have brought fuch ideas be- ance, and leaft of &ed that a man of his profeflion would have held up to the government of his conntry, as a reafon lor relinquishing its property, the risk of lofing it by foreign conqueft. The woik ia profefl'edly defigned as a manual for the emigrant, and if the author had adhered more closely to the descrip¬ tion of the country and to the advantages which it holds out to the induftrious set¬ tler, he would have displayed more judg mentas a writer; his book would have been better received, more generally read, and more feiviceaolc to his couutrymen. Hi* advice reflecting the bed method of eftab- lithmcnt, might, with propriety have been followed with a feCtion on the (late of re¬ ligion in Canada. Mr. 3. appears to be a pioua man, and deeply impicffcd with religion, and we refpect him for it, bet we cannot fee the propriety of his inticducing this fubjeft into every page of his book.

She desires au open investigation of her conduct, and relies upon the integrity of the house."
