The Letters to Lord Howics, on Colonial Administration, of which

we this day publish the first, are by a distinguished writer, thoroughly well-informed on his subject. The introductory letter relates .chiefly to a topic that has oftener than once been alluded to in our pages, and is become particularly important at the pre- sent time—the Government regulations for granting land in the Colonies. In the progress of the voluntary task he has entered upon, Lord Howicies correspondent and instructor will also in- struct the public in many things which it greatly concerns all classes to know. His style will be found as pleasing as his matter is useful.
