There is a good deal of dissension in Newfoundland. The

House of Assembly is at variance with the Executive and the British party; and the people are harassed with constant squab bles on religious as well as political questions. The Catholic inhabitants appear to have the superiority in the House of Assembly; and they use it in a rather arbitrary manlier, committing individuals, and even judicial officers, to prison fur breaches of privilege. That these dissensions have become serious, is cre- dible from the fact, that a number of Liverpool merchants, trad- ing to Newfoundland, have addressed a memorial to Lord GLE- NELC, entreating him to pay some attention to the colony--to send out additional troops, and take effectual measures for the protection o British property.
