Tho first case will undoubtedly be carried to the Supreme Court, and the constitutionality of the law will be tested. Tho licensed parties contend that their license is a contract, and that, therefore, they have a right to sell the time therein stated— one year.

Ht. Boston, July 17, 1852. Mr. Lawrence's Reurn—General Wilson's Letter — The Late Five—Rejection of Mr. Tukey—A Yankee Carnival—Literary Matters—The Na- tional Guards, §c. That Mr. Lawrence will return home in the au- tumn is positively affirmed by his frionds here. The idea now is te run him for Governor as tho Scott whig candidate, if Mr. Winthrop can be: civilly dropped. Mr. Lawrenee is the ohiof of the anti- ‘Webster whigs, and hates thoir leader with great bitterness. He is accused of having been at the bottom of all those movements that have beon directed against Mr. Web#ter’s nomination in Now England—with corresponding with George Evans and other mon, who vowed that Mr. Webster should never be made even tho whig nomince, much less President of the United States. ‘‘Thore’s a good time coming” for these who love rows—the iron age of political fighting. - General Wilson has published a letter of nine columns, to Dr. Bell, in which he gives a detuiled history of the conduet of the Massachusetts whigs on the slavery question during the last nincteen years. Itisa pungent affair, and valuablo from the vast number of facts which it contains that bear uy politi. of our State. It is noto- iowa that not so much as one of his statements havo been called in question. The Van Buren and Willis “ pistol and cofice” correspondence excites some commonts, mostly of a ludicrous cast. Mr. Willis ought to know that a isan aristocratic luxury—that tho privi lege ing shot through the head, by way o° satisfaction for injuries received, belongs ‘to patri- cians alone—to men who have “blood” in every senso. Mr. Van Buren’s conduct toward Mr. Willis isnot to be wholly jpstted. but how it is to bo bettered by allowing Mr. Van Buren the chance of sbooting him, I do not ex The late destructive fire ig to open pee- ple’s eyes to the omer st of having some reform in our city government. It is not saying too much to assert, that had the fire department heen whatit ought to be, the loss that was sustained on tho 10th instant, would have been lessened by at least three- fourths. Zhe fire broke out at a period of tho day when cevry one is about ; the alarm was promptly given ; water was abundant, and easily obtained ; yet almost three-seore buildings were destroyed, and six hundred people made houscloss. All this is attributed to the inefficiency of the fire ment, and that inefficiency is the uence of the un- wise action of the municipal authorities, who de- stroyed an admirable organization, substituting for it something that is of no value, which can combat with ordinary difficulties, but isnot equal to great emergencies. The Tremont theatre was lost through this want of skill on the part of the firemen. Had they been what they should have been, a thousand dollars would have covered the whole damago on that occasion. The causo of all this is the desire on the part of small men to havo the fire depart- ment more under their control, and an opportu- tunity to raise the taxos. But what the city saves in cents, the citizens lose in dollars, The rates of in- surance have been greatly increased, and tons of thonsands of dollars worth of property have been destroyed, which might as well have been in exis- tence as not. The old dopartment had its faults, but it had this great merit, namely, it answered tho end of its being, which the present docs not. The alarm of fire now creates a sensation, whereasit used to be taken as coolly by the people as by the fire- men themselves. The only hope such a change, is founded on the chance that there is so much dis- content abroad, that the city government must go into ether hands. Ex-Ma Tukey is talked of as a sort of Union candidate for Mayor: He cer- tainly will make an efficient chief magistrate, but the liquor dealers are afraid that he would be alto- ther too efficient. The present Mayor was chosen yy only one majority, and will not be a candidate for re-election, it is thought, and will net be elected if he shall be. Here is material enough for a groat reform party, if people would only make up their minds not to vote for municipal officers on points eae no connection with national or Static poli- ice.

Mr. Hawthorne’s now work—‘ The Blithedalo Romance”—was published on Wednosday. It is a complete failure Ido not say that it is not what the English would call ‘‘a clever book,” nor do T moan to deny that, as « first offort, it would be sufficient to establish a man’s reputation on a solid foundation ; but it is sltogether unwerthy of the author of ‘The Scarlet Letter.” The descent is as great almost as that whioh Walter Scott mado from ‘* Ivanhoe” to ‘* The Monastery,” aud I hope that, asthe great romancer shot once more to the senith by the production of ‘ Konilworth,” ‘ Quentin Durwen,”’ &e., so will Mr. Hawthorne show to the world that he has only been indulging in @ nap, and will wake up again at no very distant y- ven Homer, as we are told, sometimes sleeps, and why not the lesser sons of soog 1 r.

The call of Parliament for the despatch of busi- ness, for the 19th of August, has givon a still fur- ther degree of activity to our city. Boarding house keepers are looking pleasant, on the prospect of let- ting their rooms at remunerative rates City capi- talists aro stimulated to talk of building a large hotel on the site of the residenos of the late Chief Justice Jowell. Fresh members are whetting their appetites for fame and strife, and ministers are quaking at the symptoms ot the commg storm. New parties, new combinations, now cliques patched up out of old foes, are confidently spoken of in the papers, but I can see no definite prospects of any- thing decidedly original, unless it bo a staunch French Canadian tory party, with Mr. Cambon and Mr. Chabot at its head. Some poople fancy Mr. Papineau, who has been clected by # majority of odd, over Dumouchel, the ministerial candidate, for the county of Two Mountains, will he the Speaker of the now House. Others aver that the venorable patriot would not barter his freedom of epeovh for £1,000 s year. Thero aro fuw members, if any, so well fitted for tho post as Mr, Papineau ; his long parliamentary experience, and his know- ledge of thotwo languages, are irresistible claims; and I am not aware that the fact of being Speaker would prohibit him from expressing his sentiments in committee, Such, at all evonts, was not the custom in former days, when he occupied the fautew. The only man excopt him, whose name hasbeen mentioned as likely to succeed Mr. Morin, is Jobn 8. McDonald, of Cornwall, who was Solicitor Genoral under the late administration. In the West, judging from private letters and the newspapers, there 18 not much prospect of any agitation during the session. The tories scem to have more life in them than their ad- versaries. Thoy have brought to light two new organs within the last few weeks, tho Anglo American Magazine, after the mauner of Harper, and the late International; the first number of which displayed more enterprise on the part of the publisher, than taste, talent or mar on the part of theeditors—and the United Empire, a mam- moth fossil, published avowedly in the interest of the few against the many. ie former entering into competition with the American magazines, cannot, I fear, sustain the contest with any reason- able hope of success; the latter will evidently come to an untimely end. It is sad to think that in an enlightened city like Toronto, periodicals are con- stantly springing up to advocate, in broken Eng- lish and low slang, the cause of religious intole- rance and political bigotry. I had fancied that the Colonist was enough to satiafy the demand for stu- id abuse and stolid toryism ; it scoms that a coad- Jator is required, and the United Empire, though vastly euperior to its predecossor in knowledgo of the English Jenguago and the rules of syntax, is probably competent for the task. Tho ministerial bill of fare for the session has appearcd in the Nort American. It contains little thut I have pot noticed in my previous letters. The Elective Legislative Council is resolved upon, and will be introduced by M. Morin, at an early stago of the proceedings. It will probably bo carried by large majorities, provided all parties can agree upon the basis of the electoral franchise, M. Morin and his colleagues are said to be in favor of a property qualification for members, which would have the eficet of oxeluding from it all but wealthy landed Peapretorn. The clear grits of Upper Canada will hardly sacrifice principle so far, and L doubt whether aimejority of French Canadians could be found to support a measure, the result of which would neces- sarily be to give the English a tolerable preponde- rance. Another aaa will be mado to alter the repre- ecntation law. is was attempted during each of the four sersions of the late Parliament; but it al- ways failed for want of the requisite three fifths vote. bill, but Ihave no doubt that it is formed on the basis ef its predecessors, and is caloulated, in point. of faet, to secure to the French Canadians a per- manent ascendancy in Lower Canada. The elective principle is to be extended to certain local officors, such, I presume, as shoriffs, &o. The judiciary system is again to be tinkered. The law ofevidence is to be altered so as to make it re- semble that in foree in England in virtue of the recent imperial acts. A man will be onabled to give evidence in his own case, and interest or infamy will be no grounds ef disqualiG- cation for @ witness. If, aa is probable, the com- mittee named Inst sersion to examine Mr. Badge- ley’s project of « crimival eode, report at an early day, ap attempt will probably be made to consoli- date this branch of our jurisprudence. A commit- tee will probably be named to report on the expe- dieney and feasibility of codifying all tho laws of | Canada. The railroad acta will be romodelled, so | as to meet the views of the English contractors in- stead of those ot the Imperial cabinet; another at- tempt will be made to pave the way for the aboli- | tion of the seignorial tonurcs, by fixing a statut: rate ofcommutation of the different feudal rights and dues; the practical offect whereof will be torob tho soigniors in order to enrich the censitaires, who ars tho electors. lam not prepared to say, how- ever, whether any such ity seigniors are . powerful body, and will ae gle valiantly in defonce of their rights.
