STANDARD WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS, that is now given in must of the large towns of the United States, thus saving at least one-half of the present cost of obtaining American Papers in Canada.It is presumed subscribers to American papers do not generally realise, in many instances, that the Subscription Price is only about one.third of the cost of obtaining them.For example, a paper published at $1,00 per annum in the States, costs delivered in Montreal,a fraction less than $3,00, including American and Canadian postage.A paper published at $2,00 amounts to $4,00, and in either case where the paper is delivered at the residence of subscribers, an additional penny is required, thereby increas.ing the expense nearly one dollar.The Agent proposes, if a sufficient number of Subscribers can be obtained, to any paper of merit published at $3 00 per annum and upwards, to deliver it at the Depot in Montreal, at the publishers\u2019 prices, or at the residence of the subscribers, with one half-penny each time to be paid to the distributor.If sufficient encouragement is given, a good Daily paper will be supplied upon nearly the same advantageous terms.Orders for the present will be received for the following, which are among the most esteemed and \u201c time honoured\u201d Weekly Newspapers pub-ished in the United States, viz THE NEW YORK EVANGELIST, embracing Religious, Domestic, Foreign and Miscellane' ous Intelligence.Price, $2,50 per annum.MORRIS & WILLIS\u2019 HOME JOURNAL, of pure Literature and Science and Art.Price, $2 00.SATURDAY EVENING POST, devoted to Literature, Foreign and Domestic News, Agri culture, Commerce, Science, Art, and Amusement.Price, $2,00.THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, at $2,00 per annnm.THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is printed on large double medium sheet, making eight pagf of six columns each, and contains the choicest matter of the daily issue.The publishers in their prospectus state ; they are \u201c resolved that no American journal shall exceed the Tribune in the variety, extent, or accuracy of its Intelligence, while to Literature, Poetry and Art, they devote all the space that can be spared from the topics of the day.\u201d Lists for Subscription are open at the UNIT.ED STATES BOOK AND PERIODICAL DEPOT.197, Notre Dame Street.R.W.LAY, Agent.April 4.\t4.1 Notice.LL persons having CLAIMS against the vacant Estate of JOHN RENNIE

then, place the other upon the back part of the head, placing the small finger in the holloa of the neck, with the next two fingers on the projecting pan of the head ; then after holding a sufficient length of time, withdraw and place it upon the optic nerve ; likewise make a few passes across the forehead ; tell them to close their eyes, then draw the fluid over the lid, tell them in a firm voice, after placing the thumb on the optic nerve, they cannot open them.Firmness is necessary in the operation.The next motion is to draw the fluid upon the jaws, by making passes downwards upon the jaws, on the ex.erior parts.After you have control of the eyes and mouth, it is generally determined you have control of the person, thougn in some cases you have not.Next set the hands in motion, then, by turning yours at the same time, and as before mentioned, tell him in a firm voice he cannot stop.The same is to be understood concerning all motion and taste.The next, place him in a chair by making passes downwards from his head to the chair.3rd.Let the subject stand in an upright position making passes downwards from his head to the floor.4th.Put a cane in his hand holding his hand parrallel and stiff, make passes from the shoulder to the hand.5th.Place his hand in yours, then make passes from the shoulder to the hand.6th take hold of the subject\u2019s hand, by placing your thumb between his twp middle fingers, then by taking a sharp knife, prick your own thumb, and by the electrical chain that is formed, it pricks their own hand, telling them to be careful, and not to let it prick themselves.As respects the sight, hearing, and speech, it is done by the same calls ; to affect the hearing, paralyse the organic nerve by throwing the influence into the ear upon the organic nerve ; the sight, by throwing upon the optic nerve, that is, byrpasses over the forehead.7th.The speech, by throwing upon the lingle nerve, at the same time, after the paralysis is formed, keep your finger in motion before the eye of the subject, telling him that he cannot.8th.The taste may be affected by making certain revolutions over the glass, at the same time he tastes place your finger upon the organ of alimentiveness, which lays back of the ear, or under the ear, and tell him to taste, fee., fee.,fee.,fee.; if it be spirituous liquors you give him, in order to make him intoxicated, make passes round the head, telling him firmly it is so or the reality of the thing.Be it here understood distinctly, that galvanism and electricity are two distinct properties, one is of a more gross substance than the other, electricity is the property here combined to operate in this way, galvanism is used in propelling news through on the Telegraph wires, «fee.In explaining this to others be careful and not confound them together, but give it as clear and concise as possible.\t% The First Term\tcommences.\t The Second do\tdo\t\t\t The Third do\tdo\t\t\t The Fourth do\tdo\t\t\t The FEES, which are payable in advance, are as follows :\u2014 The First and Second Classes £2 10 0 per Term, The Third, Fourth fe Fifth do £2 0 0\tdo Preparatory School.£1 5 0\tdo and 2s.6d.per-Term for Stationery.In order to extend the advantages of this School to those who live at a distance, arrangements have been mode to receive BOARDERS, to the for* mation of whose moral character, advancement in learning, and personal comfort, every care and attention will be given.The Rector\u2019s Terms are £50 a Year ;

the Jeannette, belonging to Hano.ver, from Rotterdam, a cargo consisting of 95 tons weight of potatoes ; the vessel Mary Elizabeth, belonging in this instance to Prince Edward\u2019s Island, from Dieppe, with 731 bags of flour; the Cornelia, belonging to Rotterdam, from Nantes, 545 bags of flour; the Jan Heero, from Nantes, 726 bags of flour and 18U quarters of wheat; the Courier de la Mer Noire, belonging to France, from Odessa, with 1,0U0 quarters of wheat ; and ihe Orient, belonging to Malta, from Odessa, with 1,795 quarters of wheat.The instances in which goods are now brought fjom the European ports, being the produce of one or the other quarters of the globe, are very numerous, and of various degrees of interest.CANADA COMPANY.On Thursday a general meeting of the proprietors took place at the Company\u2019s House, St.Helen\u2019s-place, for the purpose of electing directors in the room ol those retiring by rotation, and to receive the report of the Directors for the year ending the 31st of December.The Governor, Mr.C.Franks, said the proprietors had first to decide by show ol hands upon the re-election of himself as governor ; secondly, of Sir John Easthope, James W.Freshfield, and William Wilson, Esq., os directors ; and lastly upon appointing Robert Gillespie, Esq., as auditor.There were no other candidates, These parties having been all duly elected.The Governor proceeded to read a voluminous report on the affairs of the company.By this it appeared that the lands sold and leased in the year 1849 were as follows:\u2014 Sales\u2014Crown reserves, 1920 acres, at an average of 13s 9d per acre ; Huron tract, 4231 acres, at an average of 13s Id per acre\u20146141 acres, producing j64087 currency ; three town lots in Guelph, producing £65 , ten town lots in the Huron tract, producing 43132.Total, Æ42S4.Leases\u2014Crown reserves, 16,542 acres, valued when leased at ITS 4d per acre on average, producing an annual rental of £693 currency; Huron tract, 65,241 acres, valued when leased at 15s 7d per acre on average, producing an annual rental of £2438 ; forty-five town lots in the Huron tract at an annual rental of £27.Total, £3158.Total sold and leased, 87,924 acres.The receipts in Canada during the year 1849 were : first payments on land sold, £4259 ; bills receivable, £8989 ; rent, £8415 ; interest, £4487 ; transfer fees, £171 ; timber cut, £185\u2014 Total £26,506 currency.The report stated that \u201c the company\u2019s operations in Canada commenced in 1828, and at that time the population of Western Canada was only 186,345, and the value of assessed property for taxation was £2,579,083; in 1839, assisted by the operations of the company, the population had increased to 407,515, and the assessed properly to £5,345,372 ; and in 1848, being the latest return made, the population was 723,332 persons ; and the latest return of assessed property, which is for 1847, amounted tn £8,567,001, being a pro-gress, the extraordinary rapidity of which, will bear a most favorable comparison with any part of the United States, and will have considerably exceeded that of some of the older States of the Union.In the Huron District, in which the company are so deeply interested, the progress has been much more rapid than in the rest of the province.\u201d The Governor said that the report was prepared about a week ago, since when some very important information had been received upon the affairs of the company, Irom Mr.Widder, their commissioner in Canada.It entirely confirmed the view taken by the directors as to the security of the bills receivable.A proprietor having remarked on the non-allusion to the slate of political affairs in Canada.The Governor said that political allusions were purposely avoided.There was no fear of annexation.A simple mode of curing that feeling, even where it existed, was to do Canada common justice.Canada had repealed all duties on the import of breadstuffs into her provinces.Last year she had a remarkably fine harvest.In the United States the crops were not so good, and immense purchases of wheat were accordingly made for that country.Now the Canadians were decidedly of opinion that the prices they received were reduced exactly to the amount of the 20 per cent duty, exacted upon its importation into the Union, and they only asked the Government at home to get the United Slates to pass a just law, or if this were not done to tax United States breadstuffs in return.He believed our Government was alive to this matter, but the United Stales Government was for protection, and therefore difficult to deal with.Let this measure bo adopted and it would cure annexation.Hear, hear.) Expressions of satisfaction with the report, and a vote of thanks to the directors having been given, the proceedings closed.SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.tattkrsall\u2019s.The amount of business transacted yestarday was very limited, and, saving the rapid advance of Mahratta for the Northamptonshire Handicap, and a marked decline in Voltigeur for the Derby, was destitute of interest.We subjoin the latest prices :\u2014 Coventry Steeple Chase.4 to 1 agst Rattrap.|\t8 to 1 agst Farnham Northamptonshire Handicap.6 to 1 agst Mr H Hill\u2019s Osterly 6 __ I do Mr Halford\u2019s Harriott gj__ i do The Duke of Bedford\u2019s Mahratta (take 9 to 1) 13 __ 1 do Lord Eglinton\u2019s Belus (taken) 20 __ 1 do Mr Jacques\u2019Chantry do Captain Lowther\u2019s Bastinado (taken) Metropolitan Handicap.] agst Mr Gratwicke\u2019s Cheerful (taken, and afterwards offered) 1 do Sir G Heathcote\u2019s Black Eagle (taken) 1 do Lord Eglinton\u2019s Testator (taken) 1 do Captain Lowther\u2019s Bastinado Chester Cdp.18 to 1 agis Lord Howth\u2019s Peep.o\u2019.Day Boy (taken) 20 __ 1 do Mr Merry\u2019s Miss Ann (taken) 25 __ l do Mr Osbaldenston\u2019s Fugleman (ta- ken) 25 \u2014 1 do Mr Pedley\u2019e Cossack (taken) 25 __ 1 do Mr St George\u2019s Whim colt 50 __ 1\tdo\tMr\tGregory\u2019s Clermont 1000 \u201415 do Mr Disney\u2019s Sir Richard (taken) Derby.15 to 2 agst Mr W Edwards named Boling-broke (taken) 11 \u2014 1 do Mr Gratwicke\u2019s The Nigger (take 12 to 1) 17 \u2014 1 do Mr Meiklam\u2019s The Italian (taken) 20 \u2014 1 do Lord Zetland\u2019s Voltigeur 1000 \u201445 do Lord Airlie\u2019s Clincher (taken) 1000 \u201445 do Lord Egiinton\u2019s Mavors (taken) 1000 \u201445 do Mr Jacques\u2019 Mildew (taken) 1000 \u201415 do Mr Ley\u2019s Charley (taken) 20 to 1 each, in one bet, laid agst Italian and Voltigeur, and 20 to 1 afterwards offered agst the latter.Ghillie Callunt and the Knight of Avenel not mentioned.1000 to 10 agst Cheerful winning the Metropolitan and Newmarket Handicaps and Bolitm-broke the Derby (taken.) 30 to 1 to £700 agst Cheerful winning the Metropolitan and Bolingbroke the Derby.2000 to 100 agst Cheerful and Ghillie Galium for the same events, and 2000 to 25 agst Cheerful and Mildew.IRELAND.The Lord Lieutenant is getting ready to depart.The numbers were :\u2014 For the vote.117 ForjMr.Hume\u2019s motion.19 Majority for the vote.98 might be found desirable.The first clause was j ed Tariffof charges,\u201d recommended by the agOnthesecond clause beingmoved, Mr.Mowatt ' Board for adoP,ion> and referred to, incidental.Hia aids-de-camp have got notice to hold them selves in readiness to join their regiments, and the viceregal household are under a month\u2019s notice.I he eflect upon the Irish capital of the withdraw-al of the viceregal courtis thus predicted by the Nation; \u201cThe courts of law will follow the executive the threatened plunder of the Dublin hospitals will furnish a precedent for the disbanding the lew national institutions that remain, and Dublin, which is essentially a capital, essentially a city of gentry, lawyers, officials, and the race of non-producers in general, may drop behind Cork and Belfast (which have learned to live by their own industry) like a bankrupt dandy, without the talents to live or the courage to die.\u201d According to some of the Dublin papers it would appear that the emigration in progress since the opening of the spring has been very considerable, although by no means equal to that of last year, when the agricultural population seemed to be affected by a complete mania.Such vast numbers have emigrated since the commence* ment of the famine that a decline was to be expected ; but the chiet cause of tho decrease at present is the renewed confidence i/i the potato, now cultivated to as great an extent as at any former period.Besides, there is a manifest improvement in the condition of the rural population in varions districts of the south and west, owing to the cheapness and abundance of food, and the increased employment in spring work in all quarters, and there is therefore, less anxiey amongst the peasantry to \u201c try their fortune in America/* Lord Viscount Gough\u2014The following résolu-tion has been adopted by the county of Limerick grand jury : Resolved\u2014\u201c That we feel it to be a duty as well as a pleasure to avail ourselves of the opportunity of offering our warmest congratulations to our illustrious countryman, Viscount Gough, upon his return home after an absence of so many years\u2014years of trials, of danger, and of imperishable glory.That we beg also to convey to him (would that we could do so in terms worthy of tho subject), both the profound respect that we entertain for his noble and chi-valrous character, and the gratitude that we feel for the services which he has rendered the state, and for the lustre as a commander, he has cast upon th« British arms and upon the Irish nation.\u201d The grand jury have just ignored the bills which were sent up by the Crown against the Orangemen for an unlawful assembly at Dolly\u2019s Brae, but found a true bill against five fora riot.The grand jury requested Judge Crampton to allow his charge to be published.His Lordship, it is understood, acceded to the request.The generous example of the Queen and Prince Albert, in subscribing a sum of .£50 for providing seeds for green crops for the peasantry in the south and west of Ireland, will probably have an excellent effect in promoting so useful an object.FRANCE.Three Socialist candidates have been returned for Paris, the other three moderate candidates being in a minority, M.Foy, the highest moderate candidate on the poll, was several hundreds lower than the least successful Socialist.It is of no use to shut our eyes to this most alarming event.All the hopes of the moderate party are falsified, and that city, which claims to be the most intellectual in Europe, has deliberately chosen three candidates to represent her in the National Assembly who symbolise the principles of ignorance, of terror and of blood.Paris has spoken.This city, the organ and leader of all France, has declared that Carnot, who made himself infamous by his circulars against education, issued in the time of the Provisional Government is its representative ; one of his colleagues is Vidal who was Louis Blanc\u2019s deputy in the Luxemburg folly ; and the third De Flotte, is an officer without character, who was transported to Belle Isle by Cavaignac tor his deeds of blood during the June revolution of 1848.The effect of this election has been to strike consternation in the minds of every ration\"* al friend of liberty.It is pretended that the Orleamsts have contributed to this result, as they believe that a restoration of the Bourbons can only be effected after the ordeal of another bloody roatorution.This we deem perfectly delusive ; but view it how we may, more than 120,-000 fvGtors in Paris have declared that throe persons, whoso principles are of the most odious character, are the fit representatives of their deliberate opinions.Of course, credit has received a serious blow.The funds declined three or four per cent ; and as no mortal man can conjecture how it will all end, it seems impossible that confidence can be for any length of time fully restored.A struggle of the most fearful kind is impending.The President visited the Place de la Bastile on Wednesday, and the people generally received him favourably.Indeed,every mark of respect was shown to him.The latest news from Paris indicate that a change of Ministry will follow from the success of the Socialists.Although the Conservatives have gained 12 votes out of the 25 vacancies, their general defeat must inevitably lead to the most serious changes.A rumour was afloat that M.Thiers and Connt Molè would form a strong Conservative Ministry to arrest the approaching difficulties, but the President and his friends seem overwhelmed with the threatened dangers which surround them.March 12.THE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION.The First Lord of the Admiralty, said that the expedition which was to proceed in search of Sir John Franklin consisted of two steamers commanded by Cupiuin Austin, and of two ships commanded by Captain Penny, and that he hoped they would be ready to sail the first week in April.FEMALE ORPHAN EMIGRATION.Mr.Baines said that every facility was offered by the Land Emigration Commissioners for the conveyance to Australia of female orphans, but the board of guardians showed little desire to avail themselves ol such facility.NATIONAL EXPENDITURE.Mr.H.Drommond then moved, that \u201c adequate means should be forthwith adopted to reduce the expenditure of the Government.\u201d He sought to show that the present taxation of the country depresses all classes, by diminishing the funds for the employment of productive labour.He contended that the corn-law had been made necessary to the labourer by the peace which terminated the profitable war prices, and that as, we had repealed the corn law, we must, ex necessitate, relieve the burdens of the labourer.Free traders had taught the people to think of breaking faith with the public creditor, and to consider that there ought not to be such a difference as they now observed between rich and poor.He demanded that all interdiction of any kind of production on the part of the land occupier should be abolished, and reductions made in the salaries of all her Majesty\u2019s servants.The Secretaiy-at»*War moved tho -previous question, and was followed by Sir R.Peel, Lord John Russell, Lord John Manners, and many others.It appeared that under the guise of effecting a reduction in the salaries of \u201c her Majesty\u2019s servants,\u201d it was further proposed to effect a reversal of the free trade policy.Mr.Drummond earnestty denied that his was a \u201c sham\u201d motion.And warned the House that a school inclined towards \u201c repudiation\u201d was growing up, which inattention to the wants of the working orders would, he feared, encourage.For Mr.Drummond\u2019s motion.156 For the previous question.IHO \u201434 proposed as an amendment the omission of such | lyj in the Report, as laying \u201con the table\u2019,\u2014 parts as left to her Majesty the nomination of one third part of the members of the Legislative Council.Mr.Cobden said the Government appeared to be of opinion that the colonists desired a system of nomination which he believed no Englishmen ever did.Mr.Gladstone, though thinking the amendment raised the question inadequately, should sup port it, because he was desirous of giving two chambers, both elective.Sir R.Pell opposed the amendment, not being inclined to give away the only restrictive check against democracy in the colonies.Lord John Manners thought nominations a very poor check against democracy.He should vote tor the amendment.For the amendment.77 Against it.165 Majority.88 Mr.Walpoie moved the nomination of the clauses altogether, and the substitution of one enacting that in each of the colonies of Australia and New South Wales there should be a legislative council, and representative assembly.Mr.Hawes resisted the motion, and read numbers of extracts to show that such a proposed change had not the assent of the colonists themselves.Sir Wm.Molesworth claimed for the colonists of New South Wales the power of altering or amending their institutions, and strongly condemned the system of Crown nominees.He was in favour of a double chamber, on the elective principle.The committee then divided, and the numbers were\u2014For the amendment, 147-: against, 198 ; majority, 51.quently lost.The double chamber was coni £e-\u2019 25 \u2014 1 2 to 25 \u2014 25 25 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.HOUSE OF LORDS.March 11.Lord Brougham presented a petition on the subject of Sir Thomas Turton\u2019s defalcations.He stated that the Indian judges were bound by law to take security, and that he understood they were liable for deficiencies.RAILWAY AUDIT.The Government bill was read a second time, with the understanding that opportunity should be given for the consideration of the bill by Lord Stanley.March 12.The Royal assent was given to the Party Pro.cessions (Ireland) Bill.March 19.INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS.Lord Brougham, who appears to be jealously excited by the favour that the project of this exhibition has generally met with, resolved to have a tilt at it in his place in the House of Lords.After a speech in which he derided the intention, he addressed Lord Carlisle by putting his question respecting the erection of a building in Hyde.park for the great exhibition in 1851.He trusted that no such erection would be allowed, and suggested the Victoria*park as a fitter locality.The Earl of Carlisle replied that an application from the Commission to erect such a building had been made to the Government, who, as they knew that ihe projecied exhibition was siftic-tioned by the Sovereign, did not feel themselves justified in throwing any obstacle in its way.HOUSE OF COMMONS.March 11.ARMY ESTIMATES.The Secretary-at-War moved for a vote of 99,128 men for the the land service, the number being reduced by 4,126 from that required last year.Among the points by which he supported his application was a contrast between our force and that of France, Prussia, and Austria, the first of whose armies consisted of 430,000 men, the second of 325,000 men, and the third (inclusive of an enormous body of officers) of 539,000.He described the satisfactory state of the army, and the reductions in expense.Mr.Hume admitted that the army had never been in so satisfactory a state, but moved its re* duction by 10,000 men.Mr.Cobden went into the details of the reduction, and criticised it as misjudged, and as injuring the effective force of the army.He called upon the agriculturists, as advocates of diminished taxation, to stand that night by the principles to which Mr.Drummond\u2019s motion was to commit them a a few hours later.Lord John Russell said the proper course was to adapt our force to the requirements of tho respective localities in which it was placed.Certain members had advised the withdrawing our soldiers from the colonies to which we were giving se f-government, but terrible historical events sho ved the cruelty of removing armed protection during the infancy of a colony.The Committee divided :\u2014 For the vote.223 For Mr.Hume\u2019s motion.50 Majority for the vote.173 A vote of £1,700,000 for the army was then also taken.NAVY ESTIMATES.The First Lord of the Admiralty moved for a vote of 39,000 men for the sea service, (being 1,000 under the number voted last year.) There was a reduction of upwards of a million from the amount asked in 1848\u201949.He announced that he should ask for £6,630,000.Mr.Hume moved that the number of men be reduced to 31,469.Mr.Bankes wished to know in what light the ships we had taken in Greece were to be considered.Viscount Palmerston said the ships were pledges in deposit.ADMISSION OF JEWS TO PARLIAMENT.Mr.Wood then moved, for a select committee to search the journals and to report such prece.dents and acts of Parliament as relate to the question of Jews or other persons being admitted to take their seats in Parliament without being sworn upon the Holy Gospels ; and further, to inquire and report in what manner Joseph Pease, Esq., on taking his seat in the year 1833, made affirmation to the effect of the oaths requred by law to be taken by members: and also, to inqure and report in what manner Jews and other persons not professing the Chrislain religion are permitted to make oath in courts of justice and other places where an oath is allowed, authorised or required to be taken.March 15.Mr.Hudson presented a petition from Sunderland, praying for a repeal of the duties on foreign timber.Lord J.Russell stated that the Bill for the Abolition of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland was in preparation.THE BUDGET.The Chancellor of the Exchequer, proceeded to make his financial statement.The right hon.gentleman, after some introductory observations, requested that his statement might be received with allowance for possible inaccuracies, inasmuch as the financial year had not yet expired.He estimated that the income of the year ending 5th April next, would amount to £52,785,500, and the expenditure to £50,533,651.He estimated the probable surplus on the 5th April next at £2,250,000.With regard to the estimate for the year ending 5th April, 1851, he (eared he could not encourage the hope of so favourable a statement.He anticipated a considerable falling off in the Customs, from the deduction of duty on sugar, and from a reduced importation of other articles.The receipts from Customs, he estimated at £20,000,000, from the Excise £14,-045,000, Stamps £6,860,000, Assessed Taxes £4,320,000, Income Tax £5,410,000, Post Office £820,000, Crown Lands£160,000, Miscellaneous £860,000, and Old Stores £410,000, making a total probable income of £52,285,000 v for the year ending 5ih April, 1851.Tho expenditure he estimated at £50,613,582; but this amount was contingent, for, with ihe consent of the House, he proposed to increase the vote f^r com.pletir.g the new Houses of Parliament.The bill relating to the Merchant Service would also, if it was carried, impose an additional charge upon the Consolidated Fund to the amount of £30,000, and he thought some provision should be made for the public records.He proposed to take for the whole a margin of £150,000.The probable expenditure would then be about £50,763,585.There would, therefore, be a surplus of income over expenditure in the ensuing year, occording to this estimate, of £1,471,418, or in round numbers, £1,500,000.It had been proposed that the tea duties should be reduced from 2s 2£d to Is per lb ; the loss from such a reduction would be £2,500,000.It was, therefore, impossible that the experiment could be undertaken with safety to the revenue.It had also been proposed to abolish the duty on windows, bricks, and soap.These articles produced a gross revenue of £3,275,000, which was rather more than twice the estimated surplus.The repeal of the malt tax was objectionable on the same grounds, and he feared the same objection would equally apply to the timber duties.He would now state his own proposals.For some years past he had had an impression that we ought to make some provision for the reduction of the National Debt.From 1833 there had been absorbed on account of the abolition of slavery, Irish famine, and deficiency, of a sum of £35,000,000 ; and in that time only £8,000,000 had been applied in the reduction of that sum ; leaving an increase of our debt, during 20 years of profound peace, of £27,-000,000.We ought at once to make some provision for the reduction of this debt.So, he first proposed that there should be a considerable reduction upon transfers of property under the value of £1000, and tnat above that amount they should be equalised.He proposed a similar course with regard to mortgages and bonds upon all sums under £1000, but also to reduce the stamp duties on leases to an uniform half per cent.He was next prepared to concede a total repeal of the duty on bricks.The loss to the revenue in consequence of the reduction of the stamp duties, would amount £300,000, and from the abolition of the duties on bricks to £450,000, being one-half the estimated surplus.He proposed to apply the other half to the reduction of the national debt; and £750,000 will not be the whole reduction, for in the course of the year there will be a reduction in the duties on sugar.Anxious to give every encouragement to the improvement of the soil, he proposed to do that which was done in 1846, namely to make advances for drainage and improvements.The last advances, as far as regarded England and Scotland, were £2,000,000 and so readily had gentlemen on the other side of the Tweed availed themselves of this money that they had obtained £1,600,001), whilst England had only received £370,000.He now proposed to advance £2,000,000 more, thr^e-fourths of which he intended to give to England.He proposed to give to Ireland £1,000,000 of this £200,000 for land improvements, &,c., and £800,.000 for drainage, &c.He then impressed upon the House the necessity of retaining a considerable surplus in the exchequer.March 18.MR.DENISON.Mr.Hume desired to know what notice the government intended to take of the protest of the Rev.G.A.Denison, impugning the judgment of her Majesty in Council in the case of Gorham vs.the Bishop of Exeter,\u201d and denying the supremacy of the Crown as head of the established church.Lord J Russell, in reply, read a statement by Mr.Denison of his real sentiments upon the subject, and observed that the reverend gentleman was mistaken ; that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council had acted entirely within the scope of their jurisdiction, and, moreover, that he believed their decision in the matter had given great satisfaction.Thursday, March 21.Mr.Locke King moved a resolution that, con-sidering the complaints from the owners and occupiers of land, and the benefits resulting from recent legislation promoting free trade, it is expedient to adopt measures for diminishing the restrictions on the free transfer of landed property and placing its distribution in cases of intestacy upon the same footing as personal property.He pointed out the effects of each of the two different rules of distribution, both of which he remarked could not be right : by the one capite.1 was dispersed and made productive; by the other land was tied up and confined to families.Property was a creation of law, founded upon public utility and the general interests of society, and the rule of primogeniture was based, not upon principles of natural justice, but upon expediency, with relation to a feudal and barbarous act in a refined and commercial system of society.\u2014Negatived.March 22.On the motion of Lord John Russell, the House then went into committee upon the Australian Colonies Government Bill, when Mr.Hume advised the repeal of all bills affecting the government of the colonies, with the view of reenacting, in a consolidated form such portions as POST OFFICE NOTICE, f 10MMENCING on the 9th instant, the MAILS FOR ENGLAND, via the J NIT ED STATES, will be DESPATCHED from Montreal, EVERY SUNDAY MORNING luring the PRESENT MONTH, up to SUNDAY, 23rd instant, inclusive, and every ALTERNATE SUNDAY during the Months of tANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH and VPRIL, 1850, commencing on SUNDAY, 6th JANUARY.The Boxes will be closed for PAID LETTERS on the previous Saturday, at FIVE o\u2019clock, P.M.UNPAID LETTERS may be dropped into ihe Box during SATURDAY NIGHT.NEWSPAPERS must be posted before Four /clock,?.M., on SATURDAY.General Post Office, vlontreal.19th Djc., 1849 But with no copy of which we had been supplied and of the contents of which we were of course ignorant,\u2014and, of which, but for tC Fair Play\u2019s\u201d letter, we might have remained indefinitely ignorant.So far then, we think it will be admitted, he, \u201cFair Play,\u201d is entitled to the thanks of u purchasers\u201d for the important information to them which his letter has elicited,\u2014although its publication has subjected us to the abusive language and jesuiticai insinuations of the Gazette.Since writing the above, we have to thank Mr.Lindsay, the Secretary to the Board of Trade for a eopy of the c\u2018 Tariff or Charges,\u201d referred to, which will be found under our commercial head.We cannot conclude these remarks without saying that, while nothing could be further from our intention than to throw out any \u201cinsinuations\u201d against the gentlemen composing the Board of Trade, the Retail Dealers, (to which class \u2018c Fair Play\u201d belongs)\u2014and who are not generally members of the Board of Trade and have not, consequently, access to documents placed \u201con the table,\u201d in its place of meeting\u2014are certainly as much entitled to our respectful attention, and to the use of our columns in addressing the public, sb their Uhier fellow-citizens.It may be remem-,d that we declined publishing *c Fair Play\u2019s\u201d letter without the name of its writer \u2014having obtained it, we were perfectly satisfied of the correctness of his statements, as we are still ; although we are equally satisfied, had he been aware of the contents of the \u2018c Tariff of charges,\u201d recommended by the Board of Trade, instead of writing it, he would simply have requested us to publish the Tariff for the information of purchasers like himself.¦\u2018'TC TENEb2 £14 K fti 07^1^5^ THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL, II, 1850.ECP See First Page.We published in our last issue a letter} signed \u201c Fair Play\u2019\u2019, in which the writer eoinplains that, whereas the Board of Trade, in its Annual Report\u2014published in the Herald of the 4th instant\u2014states that, in consequence of its representations to the Department, the Custom House had agreed, in future, to allow the following tares on Muscovado Sugar, viz :\u2014 12 per cent on packages over 1000 lbs.14 per cent on pkgs.from 500 lbs to 1000 lbs.And actual tare on packages under 500 lbs.it had not recommended that this new rat©,, of tares, conceded by the Customs Department, to the importer, should be \u201c extended to the purchasers in this market\u201d \u201c the tares by which sugars continue to be sold being\u2014 10\tpercent on packages over 1400 lbs.11\tper cent on pkgs.from 1000 lbs.to 1400 lbs' 12\tper cent on all packages under 1000 lbs\u201d.The respectability of our correspondent led us to believe his statements to be correct\u2014 viz., that the new and higher rate ot tare was allowed by the Custom House, while the old and lower rate, was still that allowed by the wholesale dealer to the purchaser.So believing, (and we have, as yet, no reason to suppose we have been misled by \u201c Fair Play\u201d) we published his letter, and ventured to hope that the evil complained of would \u201c not escape the notice of the gentlemen composing the Board of Trade\u201d.Upon this little matter our candid and amiable contemporary, the Gazette, yesterday, reads us the following lecture :\u2014 While the inhabitants of all oilier countries make most of the beiielits they possess, and take a pride in speaking well of them, Canadians seem to lay themselves out to depreciaie every thing Canadian.Wiih a certain set of journals this has been taken up as an especial vocation, since October last.They have been impressed wiih the idea, that there is a peculiar virtue in misrepresenting every thing and every body.In the foremost rank, in this respect, stands the Montreal Herald.Not only are all ihe prospects of the country blackened, all its great inslitulions rotten, but even the minor public bodies are tinged with dishonesty.It mailers not that the gentlemen composing them are inert of the highest standing in this \u201cruined and decayed\u201d community, nor that their labours are performed for the good of the community, without fee or reward, the Herald must get hold of something wrong about them.Hia yesierday\u2019s animadversions were directed to the Board of Trade.He then thus comments upon our correspondent\u2019s letter :\u2014 A correspondent in the Herald, however, signing himself \u201c Fair Play,\u201d to whose communication notice is editorially drawn, finds fault with their not having done that which, had he or the editor read the comprehensive report of the Board.would have been found they had done ; and in a style and language which would have been better, had it been different.The Board in their report say \u201cin tares on West Indian and olheejk)-reign productions the changes made are in all cases most favourable to purchasers in this market.\u201d The tares previous to the change were as \u201c Fair Play\u201d states, 10 per cent on packages over 1400 lbs., 11 per cent on those from 1000 lbs to 1400 lbs, and 12 per cent on those from 500 to 1000 lbs, and he rates the Board for not giving the purchaser the benefit of the above Custom House allowance, when in point of (act the purchaser is placed on a better fooling, than he would be by that allowance.For tare to purchasers, the Board recommend the new rate of 12 percent on hhds and tierces, thus giving the highest rate by the old table, to almost all sugar packages, they generally running over 1000 lbs.On sugars in boxes the Board recommend 15 per cent to be allowed, and if in barrels, the actual tare.So that \u201c Fair Play,\" had he informed himself, or the editor for him, as to sugars, would have spared the Board the insinuations in his letter.Now, selling aside the false and malicious attempt to twist our, surely courteous and temperate enough hope, that our correspondent\u2019s statements would \u201cnot escape the notice of the gentlemen composing the Board of Trade,\u201d into \u201c animadversions\u201d upon their \u201c honesty\u201d\u2014setting aside, we say, this very contemptible attempt to injure us, in the opinion of these gentlemen, we must be permitted to tell the Gazette that, however attentively and frequently we, or our correspondent, had read \u201c the comprehensive report of the Board,\u201d we could not have found in it, what he says it contains, namely that,\u2014\u201cFor tare to purchasers the Board recommended the new rate of 12 per cent on hhds and tierces, thus giving the highest rate by the old table, to almost all sugar packages, they generally running over 1000 lbs.On sugars in boxes the Board recommend 15 per cent to be allowed, and if in barrels the actual tare.\u201d The Report\u2014upon which alone our correspondent was commenting\u2014 does not contain one word of all this ; although, since the publication of Jits lettei, we find it is to be found in a \u201cprint- A Forged Letter.\u2014The Moniteal Herald alludes to ihe notice which recently appeared in the Canada Gazette ol the resignation of J.A.Labadie, Esq., of Montreal, of his commissions as Justice of the Peace and Captain of Mditia.The notice appeared in the Gazette, in consequence of a formal letter of resignation, professing to come from Mr.Labadie, which was received by the Provincial Secretary.It appears the letter was u forgery.The document excited much surprise, but gentlemen familiar wiih Mr.Labadie\u2019ssignature, felt confident it was his, and the Secretary was forced to conclude lhat it was genuine:\u2014 Sieps have been taken to trace the perpetrator of the forgery.\u2014Globe.Well, and suppose the letter was forged: was this the grounds upon which Mr.Labadie was dismissed from his office as a magistrate 1 If so, it would appear that to resign a commission in the Militia is a still more heinous crime than to sign an \u201c Annexation Address\u201d; for in the former case punishment without enquiry is the order of the day, while in the latter, as Colonel Prince has it, certain lt twaddling\u201d preliminaries are considered indispensable ! Why, if, as the Globe says, \u201cthe document excited much surprise\u201d\u2014why was \u201c the Secretary/creed to conclude that it was genuine\u201d ?Why did he not sign one of his \u201c twaddling\u201d circulars and enquire of Mr.Labadie whether the \u201c surprising document\u201d had been signed \u201c with his consent or not\u201d ?Perhaps the Globe will favor us with an answer to these questions and, perhaps, nay more probably, it will not ; but, whether or no, the truth is sufficiently plain, that Lord Elgin and his Ministry have, ever since October last, been labouring under a species of dismissal-phobia, from the rabid effects of which no officer of Her Majesty in the Colony uo-n ooftshler himsalf safe.COLONEL PRINCE, M.P.P.)

Herald Ofiice, \\ Montreal, llhh April, 1850.The St.Lawrence, opposite the city, is quite open, and we learn dial there is a complete channel open as far down as La Value.The steamer \u201cOregon\u201d has arrived at Chambly Irom Sorel, the navigation on the Richelieu is therefore open.Below we give a genera! review of the English markets.The Weather.\u2014For the last few days the Weather has been anything but what is called \u201c seasonable,\u201d and Jack Frost has fairly resumed his sceptre.Although cold, however, with a bright sun and clear bracing atmosphere, we should be ungrateful to complain\u2014 nor does the frost seem to have taken any great hold of the ice in the River, which is rapidly leaving us for the ocean.Our friends to the south would not appear to be so fortunate as we are.The following is from the N.Y.Journal of Commerce of the 6th inst.:\u2014 The Storm \u2014We are having all varieties of weather crowded into the space of one week.\u2014 As we aie writing, at 12 o\u2019clock, the snow is piled upon the window-sill, obscuring about half the pane.The air is filled by the thick flakes that the heavy wind is whirling in eddies, and driving inio every crevice.The creaking of doors and rattling of windows is sufficient to remind one of mid winter, without the need of personal expo, sure.It is, in truth, very like an old fashioned snow storm, sent by the storm king as a farewell (we hope), and a reminder of his clemency during the winter now gone, in sparing us a severer ex.perience.California.\u2014We are indebted to John Leeming Esq., for copies of the San Francisco Weekly Pacific News to the 1st of March\u2014a paper which, whether in the editorial or mechanical department, will compare most favorably with any journal published on the continent.It consists of a tri-weekly and weekly edition\u2014the latter, published on the 1st ultimo, is printed on \u201c a very nice quality of wrapping paper, which (say the proprietors) we beg of our readers to imagine to have been chosen on account of the beauty of the tint.\u201d They add :\u2014 Ii will do to send to \u201c ihe Slates\u201d as a cu-riosity\u2014and also as a mark of lhat independence of feeling so characlerisiic of a Californian, and an evidence of the detenninaiion of the proprietors not to be particularly put out because of a failure, to receive their regular, or rather irregular supply, when they can purchase paper like this al only half an ounce per ream.Gold, we find by the News, is selling at $16 25cents per ounce, so this tinted paper costs our friends in San Francisco, just $8 12^ cenls a ream, while we use rather a better quality as covers for our paper, which costs us just $1 per ream here ! Our limits will not admit of our giving any extracts from the News to-day, but on Saturday we shall give a very interesting article from the issue of the 1st ultimo, describing the astonishing progress California has made during its short but most eventful career.We have received the first number of a new religious periodical, entituled the Wesleyan Reformer and Zion's Herald, intended to be issued monlhly ; with a view, as it professes, to advocating certain pecuniary reforms in the arrangement of Wesleyan Methodism.The editor and proprietor of this new periodical is, we understand, Dr.McCal-lum, of McGill Street.Mr.Stone\u2019s Lectures on Biology.\u2014We have been requested to state that, in consequence of the solicitations of many of liis friends, Mr.Stone has been induced to continue his interesting lectures and experiments for a short time longer.He will accordingly resume them to-morrow evening at the Odd Fellows\u2019 Hall, and will also lecture at the same place, on Saturday evening.The doors will be open at seven o\u2019clock and the lecture commence at eight.So crowded have been Mr.Stone\u2019s audiences of late, that those desirous of getting a seat near the platform will do well to be early in their attendance.The Mercantile Library Association occupies so important a position among our public bodies, that we have prepared a correct report, at length, of the proceedings on Monday night ; but its length precludes the possibility of inserting it to-day.Plantasenet Water.\u2014We have been request, ed to publish the followins; certificate :\u2014 Momreal, 1st April, 1850.My Dear Sir,\u2014It affords me pleasure in yielding wiih your request, lo inform you of my opinion with regard to the Medical virlues of the Plamagenet Spring Waier.It is now nearly 12 months since 1 recommended its use to some of my patients, and its effects in ceriain affections of the Liver, Kidneys, and Dyspeptic diseases, in the latter complaint particularly, I have found it to act wiih most beneficial results Its Laxative, Antacid and Alleviative powers have proved of eminent service.Its unimtaiing action on the bowels entitles it to a preference to any other requiring that indication to be performed.From the analysis made by Mr.Hunt, Chemist, and by its curative efficacy, so well tested in Canada, it cannot fail to recommend itself.Hy.Mount, M.R.C.S.L.To

following information forwarded by his agent or correspondent of St.Paul, Minesota territory.\u201c St.Paul, Minesota, March l2.\u201c A dog train arrived here yesterday, from some distance above Lake Superior, bringing news lhat an American vessel had been seen by some of the Indians, and had sent letters saving that Sir John Franklin was found.The particulars I cannot learn.However, they say he is safe.\u201d The writer of the letter is the brother of Mr.Randall, and we have seen the letter containing the intelligence.Both are gentlemen of high respectability.\u2014He writes by every mail, so that we have through his letter the most recent news.Our former advices from St.Paul were to the 6ih of March.The dog train mentioned some ten days ago.as having arrived at St.Paul, was from Selkirk settlement, which lies quite in anolher direction from Lake Superior.It will be perceived that the information is given as a report, which reached the writer at ihe moment of closing his letter, and he had not lime to inquire into its truth.As such we give ii, not feeling at liberty to withhold anything communicated in good faith on so interesting a subject,\u2014N.Y.CoocfAd.- V \" Eastern Townships Trade with the United-States.\u2014Being at Derby Line a few days since,, we called at the Custom House, on the other side, and through the politeness of Mr.Prentice, the Deputy, were furnished with a statement ol the value of dutiable articles entered for the last six months, as follows .\u201cValue of dutiable articles entered at the Custom House, Derby-Line, Vt., from Oct.1, 1849 to April 1 1850,.$24297 41 Duties paid on same.$ 4848 25 Henry Prentice, Depy.Col.\u201d As there are Custom Houses at Canaan, to the east, and Troy, Richford, and other ports on the line to the west, it may be safely assumed that the District of St.Francis has furnished the principal portion, or an amount equal to what is given above.This would give for this District per annum $48,594 83, on which has been actually paid duties to the amount of $9,697 50.But the foregoing statement falls far short of showing the actual value of the products exported via Derby-Line.The practice has been for several years, at all the frontier Customs Offices in Vermont,\u2014 and we presume in New York and other frontier States,\u2014for the Deputy to estimate the property at its cash value, then deduct one.half, ancPcharge the duty on the balance.This shows that the dutiable articles entered at Stanstead for the last six months must have been nearly $50,000 or $100,000 for the whole year, and had the lull duty been exacted, it would have been but a trifle less than $20,000 A market which takes yearly one hundred thou, sand dollars worth of horses, cattle, butler, &c., from a small portion of Eastern Canada, is, by the farmers of these Townships, deemed of very great importance.But that market is now closed against us\u2014or if entered, our farmers will have to submit to a sacrifice of twice the amount of duty heretofore paid.We hoped and asked for free trade in produce, and are answered by a rigid enforcement of the United States revenue laws, The duties heretofore paid have been less than half the amount the law exacted.The authorities at Washington, having learned the fact, have recently addressed circulars to all the frontier Collectors, expressing astonishmeut and disapprobation that such a practice should have pre.vailed, and ordering it to be discontinued.These instructions were put in force on Monday last, and, it is thought by many, will amount to a prohibition.It is now required that those who enter articles for exportation, shall certi'y under oath their true value, and pay the full amount of duty required by law, amounting on horses and cattle to 20 per cent, or oneffifth of their whole value.We understand that three or four days grace were given, and those who got notice of the new regulations, in Stanstead, Hatley, and Barnston, took out such horses and cattle as they wished to export, on Friday and Saturday, and thus saved half the duty.Many persons interpret this action on the part of the United States, at this particular time, as decisive evidence that the Reciprocity Bill will not be adopted by Congress.It may be so ; but we are inclined to think that it has no connection with that question.It may be only the stopping of a newly discovered leak.As it is only enforcing an existing law, we have no right to complain of it.The only remedy is in getting the law repealed or what would l>p better, getting COMMERCIAL REVIEW.Liverpool, Friday Evening, March 22.The mercantile world continues to manifest a feeling of uneasiness, trade is consequently in an unsatisfactory state.The transactions going forward in our Produce markets are of a limited character, and where sales to any extent are effected, holders are inclined to accept reduced prices.The Cotton market has continued (Lill and gloomy since our last notice, and spinners cautiously confining their purchases to immediate and pressing wants.At present, it is difficult to form an opinion as to the future course of the market.Spinners seem determined to resist, to the very last, any further rise in prices; and many, it is feared, will not only resort to short time, but close their mills altogether.There is little or no change to report in the Corn trade, good American Flour and Indian Corn being in demand at late rates : the price of Western Canal Flour is quoted at 20s to 2ls per barrel, inferior 17s to 18s, old sour 20s to 2 Is ; Baltimore 20s to 22s, and Philadelphia 2Ls 6d.Indian Corn is worth 27s to 27s 6d per quarter for white, and 26s to 56s 9d for yellow and mixed ; Indian Meal is nominal at L4s per barrel.American Wheat 5s 3d to 6s 3d per 70 lbs.We have had most favourable weather since the 1st instant.The young Wheat crop throughout the United King, dom is most favourably spoken of, and the spring crops are mostly all put down under very favorable circumstances.The sales of American Wheat have been confined to a few small parcels of White Canadian at 5s 9d per 70lbs.The bulk of the stock is held for 6s a 6s 3d, which at present is above the value, as compared with other Wheats.The accounts from Manchester are very dull.Prices of Goods and Yarns,, are on the decline ; indeed, purchasers are very shy at present rates.A fair inquiry prevails for Woollen Goods.The Iron market is quiet, and prices are rather in favour of the buyer.Common Bars may be quoted here at £f> 10s per ton ; Hoop at £7 5s to £7 15, and Sheet al £7 15s to £8 15s.\u2014 Scotch Pigs are very dull of sale at 44s per ton, nett cash, at Glasgow, for mixed Nos., and 46s for No.6 Gartsherrie.English Tin has declined to £80 per ton.Tin Plates are in good demand at former rates.No change in Lead or Copper.LIVERPOOL MARKETS\u2014March 22.Ashes.\u2014An export demand having arisen for Pot, purchases have been made to the extent of 1200 brls, for which how ever, the reduced price ! of 28s has been accepted ; 100 brls for home trade have brought similar rates.Some few Pearls sold at 33s 6d per cwt.Coffee,\u2014There is little or no demand for any description, and prices are almost nominal, the only sale reported being 330 bags ordinary Sava-nilla at 40s per cwt.Lard.\u2014Sales amount to about 70 tons at 32s 6d to 33s, being a decline of 6d per cwt.Molasses.\u2014Lower prices having been accepts ed, a considerable business has been done, viz., 450 puncheons Antigua and 120 puncheons of fine Cuba Muscovado at 16s 6d, 460 puns.St.Lucia at 13s 6d, and 100 puns.Demerara at 14s per cwt., the two last being old and inferior.Naval Stores.\u2014No sales reported in Turpentine or Tar.American Rosin in fair demand 600 to 700 brls sold at 3s 3d to 3s 4d, with a few at 3s 5d per cwt.Oils.\u2014Olive continues without demand, and the business of the week is scarcely worthy of enumeration.Seal and Cod continue in moderate request at the quotations.50 tons Linseed have been sold at 33s to 33s 6d per cwt.Provisions.\u2014American : Since our last report the market for Beef has been steady ; prices have been firmly supported, and a fair business has been transacted.The light arrivals give confidence to holders, but the trade buy only for present wants, anticipating a better selection of article when the western supplies comes to hand.Lard \u2014Notwithstanding a concession of 6d to Is per cwt, the sales for the fortnight barely reach 150 torift.Whilst our extreme quotation has been realised for ».eally tirlîï Cheese, other qualities have given way Is to 2s per cwt ; at this reduction there has been a fair business.Sugar.\u2014There has been a very good demand at the reduction of last week, and the sales are extensive, consisting of 600 hhds B.P., 11,000 bags Bengal, (of which 700 were Khaur, at 28s 3d to 28s 6d,) and 2,000 mats old Mauritius at 35s 6d to 37s 6d per cwt.Foreign.\u2014A fair business continues to be done, but at some further concession in prices ; the sales are 440 hhds Porto Rico at Irom 35s 6d to 39s, 550 bags Venezuela and Savanilla at 37s 9d to 4is 9d, duty paid, and 100 bags brown Paraiba at 17s per cwt in bond ; besides which a cargo of new white Bahia has been sold afloat for the Mediterranean.Tea.\u2014Some parcels of common Congou have been sold £d per lb decline ; in other kinds no alteration to notice, and very little doing.Tobacco.\u2014The sales the last fortnight have been only in a retail way to the trade at full prices which remain without alteration .from 28s a 31s per sack, equal to 19s 6d a 21s 9d per brl.The business in Canadian and Ameri.can brls, has, in consequence, been only of à li\" railed retail character.Indian Corn-Large imports and reduced con-sumpt have influenced a decline of 6d a Is per boll, the tendency being still downwards.Pease are almost altogether neglected.Ashes may be quoted 2s per cwt reduction on both Pots and Pearls, but the stock being nearly all into consumers hands, rates noted are nominal.Timber\u2014The consumpt of Quebec Pine has increased greatly, but no advance in prices of any description have yet been realised.Beef and Pork\u2014Fair sale at late rates.I remain, Sir, your\u2019s respectfully, Thomas C.Orr.SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.Loading at Liverpool for Montreal.\u2014Amy Ann,

previous stock will be quite sufficient for the requirements of the season.Purchasers act with caution, being influenced by the depressed condition of some branches of trade, which has been, to a certain extent, pro duced by a distrust as to the stability of the future, arising, in some measure, from political discontent in several of the European slates.Petitions to Parliament have been presented for the ad-mission of Timber, duty free, for shipbuilding purposes, but to this the Chancellor of the Ex chequer demurs.It seems probable that the heavy excise duty on the home manufacture of bricks will be repealed.This, no doubt, will be of advantage to some parties, but it is not likely to have any perceptible influence on the consump.tion of Timber.It is to be hoped these unfavourable influences on trade are not likely to last long ; and that as there is generally an active demand for Timber as the spring advances, some improvement in the market may reasonably be looked for, especially as prices are at present very low and money is abundant.Pine Timber\u2014The latest sales of yellow Pino have been one cargo of Quebec (last year\u2019s import) at 13|J per foot, and by auction, 168 logs of large average at 14d.Red Pine\u2014By auction 89 logs Quebec brought ls4d per foot.Elm\u2014Fresh wood of last year\u2019s import realises from 17£d to 18d per foot,
