whose construction is peculiarly, and we be'ieve exclusively Canadian, reached this city on Saturday from Toledo.She is loaded with a cargo equivalent in bulk arid weight 10 250U barrels of flour, or 250 tons,and with that cargo nit board, pasted many of the old sliain traders on tlie lakes ; travelling at the rate of ten miles so hour.Her cargo consists of Indian corn, corn meal, pork, tallow and lard, in great part for the account of the enterprising house of Young, Holmes Sc Knapp.We understand that \u2022he is to be forthwith re-loadcd for a return voyage to Chicago, with salt, fish, oil, and pig-iron.The intention of her owners, Messrs, lloikcr fc Holton, is that site \u2022hall proceed from thence direct to Halifax.The trade whiih we may expect with the latter port, may be best understood from the following facts, which came to our knowledge on Saturday.A merchant in Cincinnati, atruck with the facilities of the S.iiut Lawrc irc route for (lie distribution of ti e large supplies of aall fish required sentent, for tlie basin of the Upper Mis»is*ipi, wrote to a house in llaliit.* witli the view of cstablisliiu» a trade by that route.He was referred in a firm in this city for the best infer- .\u2022nation, a id having visited Montreal in pursuance of h** :\tn design, lie has already ordered five hundred barrels of\t^ mnrkartl, which arc now I cing loaded for Toledo, from 1 wlience they will go by canal to Cincinnati.We understand that there will be a saving of two months time, besides a very large nmnunt in frei/ht and ch irges on Hi*-tiansmission of tlie fish by this ron'e.Cur readers will remember that a few days ngo, we mentioned this trade in salt fish, as one that must inevit-ibly find its way turough our borders.At the lime wc wro c, Ihe transaction abort described had not taken place, though it had bet n determined by parties in lov/n to make an ixperitnenl in that line of commerce.The concurrence in Ihe views of the gentlemen in Montreal who had determir ed on that experiment, with the ideas entertained on the same snbjrct ?7 a merchant in Cincinnati, aflurds a str.k ng corroboration of (lie justness of our opinion.Wc shall await the downward voyage of lire Frer Trader with great anxiety, in order tosrc how far she mav justify tlie opinions wo expressed on Saturday with regard to Hie steam navigation of the Lower St.Lawrence.\\Ye shall look upon it, besides, ns 11* era of n new commercial connection with that outpost of British North America, the port of ll.ilifix.who have been detained.The police ate in

fostering commercial policy of England, That in consequence of the change in that policy, the Icnger duration of thee laws will jeopardize the trade of the St.Lawrence, and render it very doubtful whether that river will continue to be Ihe great highway for the commerce of Canada ; and should this apprclicnsion be realized, it is manifest to your Memorialists that a com-inertial u ion of the most intimate character will be pro-duerd between the United State* and this Colony,\u2014the inevitable icsult of which will be to dissolve the ties with regret an expression in the Memorial which the IGiard of Trade ho* requested him to forward, to Hie effect, that, should the River St.Lawrence not continue to be the great highway for the commerce of Canada, a commercial union of the inosi intimate rhnracter will hn produced between the United States of America and ilin Colony, the inevitable result of which would lie In dissolve the ties which connect tho litter with the Mother Country.That this expression should be used at a time when the only remaining protection existing in England is afforded to Canadian trade, and after so many demonstrations of the disinterested desire on tho pail of the Imperial Government to make the connection of Canada with the Empire beneficial to the Colony, is s ground of surprise and disappointment to His Excellency.If the observation of the Hoard were correct, there cjuhl have bren no necessity for making it a prominent argument with a Government only desirous to benefit the Province by the conmc-\u2022.ion which is apparently threatened ; and .f it he not correct to assert that the allegiance and attachment of Her Majesty\u2019s faithful and loyal subjects of Canada depend upon the successful competition of one rou'e of commerce with another, it i* piculiarly unfortunate that in forward-injr to the Imperial Government Memorials recommending measures in which Ills Excellency takes at bast as lively BY TELEGRAPH.REPORTED FOR THE
