The Brt'ish Minister, Mr. Webster, and Fishing Naw Liquor Law, etc. Th telegraph soveral times informed you, daring tho early part of last woek, that Mr. Crampton, the British Ministcr, aud Daniel Webster, were closeted at che Revere House, consulting upon the ‘lis’? business; but this information was voluntarily om the part of tho lightning, and entirely without foundation in truth; for, as it appoars, Me. Campton did not arrive im town until this m mmingy via’ Vall River route. Ho took qua tors at the Rovore House, and upon inquiring for M- Webster, ascortained: that he was cogoged im Mhing of Nahant. Her Britaidio Majesty's repre d.ntativo smiled, and, justingly wished to kaow if Mr Wobstor was oxperimouting upon tho act of fishing before ontoring imto negotiations upon the subject. Mr Crampton immediately Ordered a car riago, and proceeded to Nahant to join in the sport lets expeoted that the Aran ol ee ts 06 1dtriea will to M to-morrow.

Under tho law; the Mayor will be compelled to prosecute where complaiits aro made to him and witnossess are pre- duced, In this way, Mayor Seaver will be obliged to surrender te the superior tactics of Tukey. If that move will not work, I am credibly informed that the excentive force are determined to apply for search warrants, in order to give tho law a full test. 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. The temperence party arguo that the license is only @ priviloge, granted under a law, which ceases to exist when the law docs; that the money paid is not an equivalent for tho right to sell & stated time, but in paymont only for the making of the papers. H. Boston, July 17, 1852. Mr. Laworence’s Reurn—General Wilson's Letter— The Late Fire—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 hore. The idea now is te run him for Governor as the Scott whig candidate, if Mr.’ Winthrop can be civilly dropped. Mr. Lawrenee is the chief of the anti- ‘Webster whigs, and hates thoir leader with great bitterness. He is accused of having been at tho bottom of all those. movements that have beon directed against Mr. Webster's nomination in Now England—with corresponding with George Evans and other men, who vowed that Mr. Wobster should never be made even tho whig uomince, much less President of the United States. ‘*Thore’s a good time coming” for theso 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 « detuiled history of the conduet of the Massachusetts whigs on the slavery question during the last ninoteen years. Itisa pungent affair, and valuablo from the vast number of which it contains that bear on the political cose 4 of ourState. It is noto- us that not so much as one of his statements have been called in question. The Van Buren and Willis “ pistol and cofiee” correspondence excites some comments, mostly of a ludicrous cast. Mr. Willis ought to know that duelling is an aristocratic luxury—that tho privi lege ing shot through the head, by way 0° 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 juatited, but how it is to bo bettered Ws lowing Mr. Van Buren the chanco of sbooting him, I do not exactly see. The late destructive fire is beginning to open pee- ple’s eyes to the noeessity of having somo reform in our city government. It is not saying too much to assert, that had the fire department been what it ought to be, the loss that was sustained on tho 10th instant, would have been lessened by at least three- fourths. Jhe fire broke out ata period of the day when eevry one is about ; the alarm was poeeey given ; water was abundant, and easily obtained ; yet almost three-seore buildings were destroyed, and six hundred people made houseloss. All this is attributed to the inefficiency of the fire department, and that inefficiency is the consequonce 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: Tho Tremont theatre was lost through this waut of skill on the part of tho firemen. Had they been what they should have been, a thousand doll would have covered the whole damage 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 taxes. But what the city savesin cents, the citixons loge in dollars, The rates of in- surance have been greatly increased, and tons of thovsands of dollars worth of property have been destroyed, which might as well have been in exis- tence as not. The old di nt had its faults, but it had this great merit, namely, it answered tho end of its boing, which the present does not. The alarm of fire now creates a sensation, whereas it used to be taken as coolly by the pe as by the fire- men themselves. The only hope for such a change, is founded on the chance that thore is so much dis- content abread, that the city government must go into ether hands. Ex-! Tukey is talked of as a sort of Union candidate for Mayor: He cer- pak will make an efficient chief magistrate, bat the liquor dealers are afraid that ho would bo alto- ther too efficient. el gene Mayor was chosen only one majority, and will not be a candidate for re-eloction, it is thought, and will not bo elected if be shall be. Here is material enough for a great reform party, if people would only make up their minds not to vote for municipal officers on points eas no connection with national or Staic poli- tice.

Prospects of the Scssiom—Mr. Papineau a Candt- date for the Speakership—The Tories in Upper Canada—The United Empire—The Ministerial and Opposition Programme—The Albatross— Orange Riots in Upper Canada—Awful Acci- dent at Cape Diamond—Swen Persons Killed, &c., &e. The call of Parliament for the despateh of busi- ness, for tho 19th of August, has givon o 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 oapi- taliets are stimulated to talk of building a large hotel on the sito of the residence of the late Chief Justice Jowell. Frosh members are whetting their appetites for fame and strife, and ministers are quaking at the symptoms ot the comug storm. Now 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 be a staunch French Canadian tory party, with Mr. Cambon and Mr. Chabot at its head. Some peorle fancy Mr. Sopra who has been clected by @ majo Hy of 400 odd, over Dumouchel, the ministerial candidate, for the county of Two Mountains, will he the Speaker of the new House. Others aver that the vencrable patriot would not barter his freedom of speooh for £1,000 s year. Thero aro few members, it any, so weil fitted. for tho post as Mr. Papineau; his long parliamentary experience, and his know- ledge of tho two languages, are irresistible claims; and I am not aware that tho fact of being Speaker would prohibit him from expressing his sentiments in committee, Such, at all ovonts, was not the custom in former days, when he occupied the fautewil. The only man excopt him, whose name has been mentionod as likely to succeed Mr. Morin, is John 8. McDonald, of Cornwall, who was Solicitor General under the late administration. In the West, judging from private letters and the newspapers, there 1s not much prospect of any agitation during the session. e tories scem to have more life in thom than their ad- versaries. Ly have brought to light two new organs within the last few woeks, tho Anglo American Magazine, after the maunor of Harper, and the late International; the first number of which displayed more enterprise on tho part of the publisher, than taste, talent or mar on the part of thecditors—and the United Empure, a mam- moth fossil, publizhed ba a ag the interest of the fow against the many. ¢ former entering into competition with the American magazines, cannot, I foar, sustain the contest with any reason- able hope of success; the latver will evidently come to an untimely end. It is sad to think that in an enlightened city like Toronto, periodicals are oon- 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 satisfy the demand for atu- id abuse and stoli CH a ; it scoms that a coad- ator is required, and the United Empire, though vastly guperior to its predecossor in knowledge of the Nes lenguage and the rules of syntax, is probably competent for the task. Tho ministerial bill of fare for the session has appeared in the Nor American. It contains little that I have vot noticed in my previous letters. The Elective Legislative Council is rosolved upon, and will beintroduced by M. Morin, at an early stago of the proceedings. It will probably be carried by large majorities, provided all partics can aj 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 woprietors. The clear grits of Upper Canada will ardly sacrifice principle so far, and L doubt whether amajority of French Canadians could be found to copes ameasure, the result of which would neces- early be to give the English a tolerable preponde- Trance. Another pe will be made to alter the repre- sentation law. jis was attempted during cach of the four sersions of the late Parliament; but it al- ways failed for want of tho requisite three fifths voto. Ihave not heard the details of ths prone: | bill, but Ihave no doubt that it is formed on the | baais ef its predecessors, and is caloulated, in point of fact, to secure to the French Canadians a por- manent ascendancy in Lower Canada. The elective principle is to bo extended to certain local officors, such, I presume, as shoriffs, &o. The judiciary system is again to be tinkered. Tho law of evidence 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 cense, and interest or infamy will be no grounds ef disqualii- cation for a witness. If, az is probable, the com- mittee named last version to examine Mr. Badge- ley’s project of a criminal eode, report at an early day, an attempt will probably be made to coasoli- date this branch of our jurisprudence. A commit- tee will probably be named to report on tho expe- diency and feasibility of ecodifying 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 of the Imperial cabinet; another at- tempt will be made to pave the way for the aboli- tion of the seignorial tonuros, by fixing a statut: | rate ofcommutation of the different feudal rights and dues; the practical cffect whereof will be torob tho | seigniors in order to enrich the censitaires, who ars the electors. Iam not Rrapared to say, how- ever, whether any such bill would pss. Tho | seigniors are « powerful body, and will bits gle valiantly in defence of their rights. A bill tor the repeal of the usury laws will again be introduced, butit is questionable whotherthe French- Canadian members are sufficiently énlightenod to vote for it. The above are » few of the principal measures which will oceupy the attention of Parliament. They may Rosstbly be varied by a vote of want of confidence; bnt I cannot see how any othor adminis- tration than the present could hold the reins of power for ® month.
