A vessel had also arrived at Quebec from Greenock, which place she left April 22d, with settlers for the township of M'Nab. The Editor of the Montreal Courant says, "we have been informed by a gentleman who came passenger in the Ameteyst from London, that he heard from good authority in the British capital, that arrangements were making to send 1 5 000 Irish emigrants

to Canada this summer."

contrary, it may have an important effect in

preventing the dissemination of doctrines in

discordance with the principles upon which

om society is constituted. Some of the bntish Reviews and Magazines, arc reprinted in this countrv exactly as thev appear at

home, and thev, as well as those which are not published here, embrace much matter of

li'tle interest and no advnntaco to our read

Mtiate their literary taste, their morals, or their political principles. But while it c;m

not be denied that there is ui all these fo

reign Journals, a large part of which consists of details nnd speculations which are uninter

esting, to American readers, or tmsc.uevous in th'r rhtir.al or moral tendency, it is c-
