NO. 5525. a MORNING EDITION----THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1849. The British Leogue at Kingston, Canada. Kweston, C. W., Ciiy Hall, July 27-3 P.M. AFTEKNOON SITTING. ‘The delegates again assembled at 3 o'clock; ax the chairman having taken bis seat, Mr. Gowan brought forward the following motion :— Resolved, That the present expeaditure of the civil government is dispiopertioned to the resources of the Provinces, and that great economy and rebreuchaens may be rately introduced iulo the mseagement of UI public afairs of the wiry withous impairing the eiticiency of the pubiic rerview. Seconded by Mr. Browne. Mr. Gowan then proceeded to rehearse the na merous existing evils in the administration of the government of the province. Lis Excellency, the Governor General, us the big gus, was first at tacked. The salary of this individual, as it at pre- sent exists, amounts to $31,000; this he would, un- der the intended setenchment, reduce to $20,000-— a. large sum, compared with that paid simular offi- ciala im the United States The judiciary next fail under the pruning hook of intended reform. Tue chief justice now receives $7,600 « year, and the other judges $4,000 a year, cach. “This, the ta- lented speaker considered ap overcharge, and be- heved, so long a» these amounts were kept dangling as butts betore the ambitious, no justice or protection could exist. He desired to reduce the salaries of our judges to the resources of the pro- vince. He would, however, so long se the parties continued in eflice, give them the full amouat of the sularies they now enjoy ; but not their succes- sors. The Ahiet givict of Lower Canada receives $6,000 u year, dnd the otuer judges $4,000 each. ‘The attorney general of Lower Canada receiv $5,200 & year, tor the mere purpose of talking ove the political atlairs of the country with his col- Jesgues. Besides his salery, however, he has fe a year for tnvelling expenses. The so- Heitor generals next passed under review. Each ‘i these, it appears, reecived $2,400 a year. These, Mr. Gowan considered, that in propor- tion to what the attorney general had, ought to rece)ve double, tor they performed law services. England, wich thuteen millions of inhabitants, has only one attomey general and one solicitor geae- ral, and Canada bas four, This Mr. G. showed up as being ridiculously absurd. Mr. Campbell, an importation fre ugland, and Lord iilgin's civil secretary, reeeived i a year, for wrung afew private letiers to Lord Grey: and yet two parties dad existed jor years in this colony—reform und tory—both continually iabegiene ? reform; and et this monstreus shome has existed for years. But Mr. Campbell also received for three assist. auts $1,708 year. Having passed through several other departments of the government, he said Mr, Cameron, assisiant commissioner of public works, received $2,500 4 year ; and what did he do ia re- turn? (Vo.ce from a delegate, “he gives his servi es in temperance lecturer in the west.”’) Mr. G. wishe ed he would be as temperate with the public funds ay with private liquors. ‘The office was useless, and ought to be abolished; Ins superior, Mr. Pache, the commissioner, received $4,000a year. All the Other departments, police und yndicial, were riuc- ed and sifted. The speakers of the two houses of the Legisluure received $4,000 euch. Tt was also shown that there existed in the province | Ove penitentiary aud two houses of correction, | which would be allowed by all as uselees burdens. | Mr. Gowan then proceeded to compare the present state of eflas with that under the renowned family compact. Mr. G. stated that he had always been en opponent o1 this compoet—(Great ont sicn arose among the de ex, and cries of * or | der’’)—but what were the ries received by the heed man of this party? (LLaif a dozen delegates, | members of this party, were all on their feet at one time.) Chief Justice Kobinsoa, whom it was stated rode in his cerriage, rough shod, over the country.— (Cries of “*order.”) — received, as i Speaker of the Upper Canada Assembly, $1,200 a year; and the late Juege Sherwood, as Speaker of ihe Lower House, received $8004 year. Herethe ntleman desired to. know who were the true re | ‘ormers. At this point, however, the ‘eet be- fan to uerge into personal grievance: aying de- tailed ese at some length, he again applied the oft WDD, k to the geueral public depirtment.

Among the comforts to be enjoyed at Saratoga, a visit to this delightful spot must have a prominent place. Liere, on the margin of this sweetest of Little lakes, Meesrs. Loonsis & Co., the proprietors of the house and groaads, dispense luxuries of no ordinary kind with.the utmost dispatch, and ina style which shows that ther experience has not been useless to them, Since the season has begun to be lively at Saratoga Springs, not a day has passed without one or more parties visiting the Lake House, tor the purpose of enjoying a game dinner. Among these who have given dinners here, may be named Mrs. iiush, Messra. Slidell, Gereaud, Livingston, Sauget, H. P. Danean. of Miss. (be has given two within a few days), Mule ler, Belmont, Russel, Wright, James, and several others. These dinners are made exeeedingly com- forteble ; trout and bass, tresh from the pouds, se- veral of which are carefully kept on the grounds, woodcock, partridge, and cther feathered game, are served up ina aivle which causes the admira- tion of epicures ; while the iame of “ Eliza, the cook,” for crisping potatoes has become so wide, that she has frequent offers to take places of profit in the city, where her talents in this respeet may be made ‘eflective. A queer way to build up a Teputation, you will say; but it 1s nevertheless trne, that “*Ehza’s” potato frying reputation is one of the prominent matters #f remark at Saratoga, and scoies of people visit the lake and carry away spe- vns cf the vegetable, us prepared by her, as curiosives. Ladies frequently pay her a hand- some fee for the privilege cf witnessing the mode of operation, pursued by her, so that they may instruct their ceoks at home. Eliza always tekes the fee and pleasantly enough imparts the theoretic knowledge necessary for ato fiying ; but no lady has, as yet, been able to tench the art to her ceoks at home. Who would think that simple potatoes could be made such a luxury ! and yet, Eliza is not proud of her reputa- tion ; she is net pufled up with pride; she cooks on during the summer and has numerous standing oflers to cook for nabobs ef the city, at large wa- ges, during the winter. Who knows how many of her childiea, or children’s children, will here- afier drive tandem to Lake Saratoga, to eat trout woodcock and fried potatoes, under the same root where the is now engaged in acquiring lanrels. Byron says: ** there is a tide in the affairs of wo- men, which, if taken atits flood leads—God knows where.” Who shall say that "3 bark is not now riding upon the flood tide of rising greatness ? The means of enjoyment at the luke are ample ; the grounds theniselves are pleasant to waik throvgh ; the ponds, abounding with the finest fish, are well worth looking at; then there are bowlin: alleys, and a shooting gallery, and sail boats, an row boats, goed fishing in the lake and ereeke, end fine bathing near at hand. When the bloods | wish to give vent to the exuberance of their mirth- fulness, they seek the Lake House, where they can enjoy themselves without constraint. The house 1s divided into rooms of various dimensions, and parties, large or small, can be at all times ae- commodated. aig ad paratus” is the motto of vive hither, from the Springs, is a remarkably pleasant one, and there are fre- quenty thirty or forty, end sometimes fifty or sixty jorses on the road at once. Some ef the parties given by the people above mentioned, were splendid affairs. Mrs, Rush's, particularly, is spoken of in the highest terms of praise. One or two were fail ures, but as they took place in the early part of the seaeon, the fact is not to be wondered at. Mansion House, Karrort, Jaly 30, 1849. The Keyport Hermit—The Ladies im the Water— Murphy's Hotel—Fishing and Fowling. In company with two or three gentlemen, who are remaining with their families at the Mansion House, I yesterday paid a visit to the “ Keyport Hermit,” one of the celebrities of this part of New Jersey. The hermit 1 found to be a very iatelli- gent man, a manufacturing chemist by profession, and an Enghshman by birth. He manufactures copperas, paints, &e , from minerals, with which the land in the neighborhood abounds, and, rumor says, makes a great deal of money by the operation, © for he finds a ready cash market in New York for all he manufactures, and always has his pocket * full of rocks.” His residence is indeed like the habitation of a hermit. It is constracted of logs and branches of trees, and thatched with grass and leaves. From any part of the interior you can see the sun by day and the stars by night. In winter his ears are delighted with natural music—the whistling of the wind through the crevites and in- terstices which, in some places, are large enough to admit your hand. In frout of the mansion is the hermit’s couch, which is constructed after the ' style of the resting place which old Adam con- structed in the Garden of Iden, before the old ecamp succumbed to the arguments of his mate, and ete the apple which lve presented to him, * for his stomach’s take.” Itis made of a piece of canvas, hung upon two small trees, and, plain and simple ae It 1s, it furniehes repose to the weary I found the at pedesition who visits the hermit.

He extended an invitation to Mr. Ben- nett, to call and see him, before his bottle of cherry brandy 1s consumed. His name is Spink, anda Mes. Spink ehall never enter the door of the man- sion. Any thing in the garb of a petticoat he abominaies. To such an extent does he carry his hostility to the fair sex, that he hides himself in the woods whenever he secs a woman; and has been known te goa quarter of a mile out of his way, to avoid seving ve articles of female ap- parel drying on a clothes line. The land in the region ol his house and laboratory presents many interesting features. It abounds with mioerals of various kinds, and, on the cap of the precipice, fa- cing the shore, | have gathered, at a depth of fifty feet below the sutlace, decomposed pine and other woods, and a yaciety of other vegetable matter. 1c lies in leyere, at, diferent depths, and the geo- logiet will here find abundance of material for study and reflectio ‘The arrivals fre w York and the other pla- ces are becoming quite numerous.
