We do not look back to the past, nor will we attempt to Oncost the propriety of those toessures which have been formerly adopted on behalf of this colony.

LONDON, THUIODAY, Nuvaisesa 24. IRO. The Paris papers of Monday, including the Etuile of the following day, arrived yesterday. The latter journal, in tht: shape of a pretended private letter from Brussels, publishes a long tirade against the King of the NETHERLANDII, for the line of conduct which he has thought proper to adopt with respect to his Roman Catholic subjects. It contains, also, the commencement of the proceedings in the Royal Court, on Monday, against the Courrier Francais. The trial, like that of the Constitutlynnel, Wilk adjourned for a week, to give time for the defendant's reply. - - It is announced in the Journal du Curnmerre that the ship I' Ange Gardien, which was seized and confiscated by the Peruvian Government, had been subsequently released and its cargo delivered to the consignee. There was a report at Corfu, it appears in the middle of October, that the Grek fleet had encountered and defeated the Turco-Egyptian expedition from Alexandria. If this report should turn oat to be correct, the indr pendence of Greece would be insured; but we must not sulfa our wishes to blind and mislead us. The news at present rests upon no credible authority. The state of Spain, according to all accounts, will not improve much under the new administration. We refer our readers to the extracts we have given elsewherz. The French Funds have declined considerably. FIENCH Fume. — Puts, Nov. 21.—Five per Cents. 981. 10e. Three per Cents. Inf. 40e.

The increasing prosperity of the United States is mani fested by every sign that can demonstrate it. The political factions which used to divide the citizens are extinct, and but fur the ridiculous squabble with Georgia, no voice of complaint or dissatisfaction will be heard throughout the wide extent of the North American Union. Under these happy circumstances, the Governors of the States of New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine, have issued proclamatiors for the solemn observ ance of this day (Thursday the Rfitis of November), for public thanksgiving to ALMIGHTY Goa. The President had returned to Washington and resumed the direction of public business. It was expected that Governor Trion, would be re-elected by the people of Georgia, but he was vigorously opposed, and the majority in his favour was supposed to be less than 900. I t follows, considering the number of electors, that one half his constituents are op.. posed to the course he has pursued. his nut at rli proba ble, therefore, that be will persist in his warfare with the national government. One of the subjects that at this moment chiefly occupies public attention in the United States is the establishment Of a grnrral system of bankrupt laws. It will be brought before both Houses of Congress at an early period of the ap proaching Session. The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States have put a construction upon the Consti tution which deprives the individual States of all power relating to bankrupt laws, and in great messurc even to insolvent laws. This is ttp wed which, In so etnineutly A • S. commercial a couotry, must be productive of great incon venience, and requires Immediate redress. In a preceding column we have extracted from these pa_ pen some interesting newe relative to Colombia and Peru. We subjoin some afflicting intelligence respecting the dreadful conflagration at Miramichi. It gives us pleasure to state that a public meeting was to be held at New York, on the evening of the Ist instant, for the relief of the suf ferers. Further particulars of the late devastating fires In New Bil Me. wick have been received by a slip from the Eastport Sentinel. It appears that the number of buildings consented in Fredenctoo was 06: and that several houses and neat cattle were burnt. The fire ravaged over a surfeit of 100 miles in length and 40 in breadth. The towns of Newcastle and Douglas were destroyed, and both sides . of the main river had suffered. In Chatham, there were sup potted to be not less than 400 houseless beings ; and not less than 600 in Nelson. la the whole, it is stated that at hut 1.500 per sons are in want of shelter and dothing. At Aliramichi, front the Coort-hoose downwards, for forty miles, the seltiements had beat eedrely cement-tied. including the extensive stores of the prin itistalltierchants, three vessels loading in the river, and oat upon the swim Boars dukes of nmperty. we regret to add that the account states that many families itemised, some by resorting to the water , to escape the flames. The wild beasts fmm the wood were seen' dead on the shore, and thousands of fish floating about. Its • postscript to the slip, it is added, " we have the most dis tressing accounts from the river Orombucto. on St. Jahn's river, below Fredericton—almost every thing destroyed for the distance of sight miles and many lives lost." A letter from a commercial house en Halifax to a house in this city, speaking of the late fire In the wood, m the Province of New Brunswick, says—" It is most nielaneholy to think that some thousands of persons have perished in the flames in different parts of the woods. Seven bodies wale 'found dead in one ruin, and twenty six in another. Many cainmtrcial houses have lost every thing. One house is said to be losers io the amount of 40,1001." NEW YORK PRICES CURRENT, Nov. 1. COTTON.—With the exception of tine small transaction some weeks past, to close • concern, there bare been no sales since the 15th of August. We know of no one article more doll at present, or foe which there is less inquiry. and are again compelled to omit quotations ; neither have we sufficient data to risk an opinion as to its nominal value. The arrivals of the new crop this season have been only 105 bales, whilst on this day last year they were 711 : making 606 bales in favour of Lot season. In correcting the stick this week, we found precisely 400 bales over our former state ment, which is added to previous imports, a part of which (stock on hand) is on ship board, and will soon be on its way to market. It is still urcerain at what price the market will open, and opinions vary according to conflicting interests. Of the present crop, so fir, wa have much to expect as to an abundant one, reports of the rot sad caterpillar, to the contrary nmerthrtanding ; nevertheless, there is a sufficiency- of time for considerable destruction by storm, and otherwise, ere the picking season closes. Arrived since our fast from the interior 37 bales, and cleared for Havre 643. We know of but little in first hands for sale, and believe the principal part Of the prevent stock is intended for shipment.

A- AM • We observe, in the 3114-ning Herald of yesterday, some very absurd suggestion as to the abolition of the procee.l - at bar by a writ of right. "We shrewdly suspect,:' says siniaJournal, " that, except on the score of fees to the lawallevir,, nothing would be lost to the parties, or to the questions which such cases as this involve, if they were referred to the same kind of jurisdiction as other questions regarding property of equal magnitude and importance." If this is meant as an attack on the profession of the law, it is a very blundering one, since it is quite clear that notbing could be foot la the parties by the abolition of any form of process, which gave occasion to any reduction on the score of fees of lawyer... The exception smacks of an Irishism. In the same column of this journal there is a ran dom dissertation on the " negligrmt and highly improper conduct of certain Attorneys in the Court of Chancery." The !stabile are told of " the culpable disregard of the in terests of their clients, slaich many &Mein:train Chancery evince, while their enormous bills eco•ts, which grow iota appalling magnitude out of minvt items, like bricklayers', carpenters, and apothecages' bills, show that no want of diligence in estimating their own profits is ever observable." This Journalist forgets, in the midst of all this vulgar calumny, that solicitors' bills of costs undergo a regular taxation ; that every charge is disallowed which can be properly excepted against, and that consequently : a solicitor cannot receive in the shape of costs any item which he is I not fairly entitled to charge. If all the law proceedings were abolished, which the wiseacres of our age would get rid of, the forms of justice might indeed be left, but the essence would soon disappear. It' the pruning-hook were applied as unsparingly as many of our improvers would apply it, who seem dissatisfied more or less with all the works and institutions of our forefathers, the end of all things would be drawing near, and those who came after us would soon have to say, in the winds of the prophet ESDRAII,—" The World hada lost its youth, and the time begins to wax old; for the world is divided into twelve parts, and the tea parts o f it are gone already, and half a tenth Tart." We would entreat that they s; are us what yet remains, for otherwise the complaint will soon be, not that there is nothing new, but that there is nothing old, " under the sun." CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A day of more extensive business has seldom been wit nessed on the English Stock Market than the present, and Consuls have gone down to a price lower than they have been for a very long time. The transactions principally had reference to to-morrow's settling. The depression was sup posed to be owing to sales to an immense amount, eil'ected by the Bills for the purpose of squaring their accounts. Exchequer bills were at par to Sat. discount. The appear ance of the money markets to-day were gloomy beyond any thing that we have before seen, even in these gloomy times. Confidence seemed at a lower ebb than ever, and every one was endeavouring to account for it in his own way. For ourselves, there does not seem much difficulty in account ing for this fearful coneternation, by reference to the over •excitement of last year. Many of the schemes of that period have turned out to belittle better than bubbles, and that has had a tendency io destroy confidence in the most approved and sterling Companies. The foreign loans also, which are now so much depressed, have taken out of circulation a large proportion of the capital of the country, at that time extended by the enormous issues of the Bank, which have since been so materially contracted, not merely as compared with the late excess, but even with regard to former periods of average circulation. These are, in our opinion, causes sufficient for the fearful anticipations concerning the Settling-day, to-morrow ; and it must be a work of time before the Markets can regain any thing like a firm state. They may temporarily rally, but we apprehend a lengthened period will be required to restore quotations to the height of last year. The report was renewed that the interest on Exchequer Bills would be raised. Consols opened for this account at 85, sellers, and they closed at 84 4 1, making a decrease in their value of per cent. in the course of the day. Bargains were done latterly for the January account at a 4; f. The Foreign Market hail less business doing in it than it has had for some day. put, and prices were gener a lly lower. Colombian Bonds were G 37 ; Mexican do. 68& t; Guatemala Scrip 5S 6 aim.; Brazilian do. IS, 114 dis. ; and Spanish Bonds 16, 13‘. There was no public sale of Coffee to-day, and the Sugar Market was under considerable depresaion. A literary paper, published 14 .-" Fottlouse, states that Monsieur Ferlus, formerly director of the school at Soy rese, has jest received from ;the Government of Hayti, the sum of 150 000 francs, as a recompence for the ser vice he rentivred.to young Haytians, who were educated in that school while he was at the head of it. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARTS, Nov. 18. You have doubtless read an account in the Paris journals of the attempt made on the life of the young Las Cases by a ruffian, on the night of the 11th. As I had an hour's con versation with him yesterday, I can assure you that he is art of all danger, anti appeared in rather good spirits. The papers here differ in some degree as to the shade of colouring they have given to this mysterious affair. You may rely on the correctness of the following statement of facts. On Friday, the 17th iost. M. Emanuel Las Cases dined with the Count his father, at No. 7, Rue de la Pomp, at Panty, near the entrance of the Bois tie Bologne. About eight o'clock in the evening he left his father's house, to return on foot to his own lord i ings. He had not proceeded far, when he found himself soddenly seized by the collar, and at the MTV instant received a violent thrust with a sharp instrument in the left breast, from which he was Providentially protected by his pocket-book, containing etters, cards, Etc. The blow, however, pierced to the skin, but effected only a slight incision; he in stantly seized the wretch, who, surprised at having missed his aim, and finding himself attacked, staggered, and on receiving a blow from the young Las Cases, fell to the ground. iVliile this took place, he made several plunges with a knife or dagger, one of which entered the young man's thigh to the bone, and three pierced his coat. On turning his head Las Cases perceived a second person about ten paces distant, whom he conceived to he an accomplice, and having a sword-stick with him, he left his first anta gonist, and drawing the weapon, attacked the other, who fled. In the pursuit Las Cases fell, but soon recovered, and returned to the one whom he had left on the ground; by this time this fellow had also escaped; the night was dark, and the spot where the transaction occurred was at a distance from any house. Although he suffered consi derable pain from the wound in his thigh, and was much weakened, he managed to regain his father's house ; on entering it, he sent for a surgeon, who, on examining the wound, found it had been inflicted with a double-edged weapon, as the incision was closed, and but little Wood appeared. Upwards of forty le.ches were instantly applied, and as it was hoped the weapon was not poisoned, the wound was pronounced not mortal. It was not till then that the Cotner and COUNTESS were informed of the event. Through the abilityof M. M. DCPUITIIIEN and, I believe, Donors, and a strict regimen, this excellent young man has been saved from a premature death. So much for positive facts. The papers allude to the cause of this atrocious attack as resulting from private revenge. But it is far more likely that private revenge has given rise to the rumour. The Paris papers would readily circulate this sort of calumny. All the conductors of the cabriolets were summoned yesterday (Thursday) to appear before the Prefect of Police, as it appears two strangers left Paris in a cabriolet for Passy, in the afternoon of Friday, the day of the ewPartlt, and returned at eight or nine o'clock. M. Lap Cases assured me, that when the ruffian who struck him received the blow from him which knocked him down, he uttered a few words of imprecation, but which certainly were neither English, French, nor German. It is reported that one o- two persons have been arrested on suspicion, but at this moment all is wrapped in mystery; whatever the French papers may pretend to say on the sullject, is purely the on-ditt of the day. You may imagine this affair is the principal topic of conversation. We are quite at a loss for foreign news. The affairs of Spain seem to engage hut little public attention; and we hardly know what is really passing in Greece. Assassinations, therefore, are the most interesting part of our domestic intelligence. The bad weather has put a stop to the royal hunting parties. The following anecdote is related of the present King of Bavaria:—A widow, who bad received a monthly pen sion of eight florins from the Civil List of the late King, was fearibl of being deprived of that support. She there fore fomented a petition to his Majesty. The King kindly listened to her, took the petition, and retired into his ca binet, desiring the widow to wait.. The King soon re turned, gave her back her paper, and ordered her to pre sent it to his Treasurer. What was the astonishment of the good woman when she learnt that the King bad just ordered that that she should receive sixteen florins instead of the eight she had been accustomed to receive each month !—French Paper. The advices from Munich state, that the new King of Bavaria is tasking considerable retrenchments. These are indeed carried so far, that to us they appear ridiculous. The King, for instance, boa commanded that, "in general, only six dishes shall he brought to his table." We hare received Quebec Papers to the ilst ult. We find front them that the conflagrations in the lower pro vince have been very serious. The fire has been raging during most of the summer in the woods at the Cedres and Vandenie, on the south side of the Ottawa, as well as in Cote St. Joseph, in the seigniory of the lake of the two mountains, and in a great part of the woodlands between that seigniory and St. Eustache. We have received Newfoundland Papers to the 46th ult. The new Gortrnor of that island, Sir Thotnas J. Cochrane, had arrived front England, and appears to have been re cetved with most flattering attention. Ile was immediately waited upon with addresses from the members of the Cham bers of Commerce, from the Benevolent Irish Society, and from a general nice ting of the inhabitants assembled by the High Sheriff. His first act was the carrying into effect the circulation of the English coin in the island of Newfound land. he proclamation is dated 18th October. Four shillings and four-pence. British coin, are to be considered equivalent to the Spanish dollar ; the inhahitznts to have the privilege of demanding from the officer of the commis sariat bills on the English treasury for 1001. for every 1031. of the new coin circulated. And as the circulation of Spa ni,h dollars was Ss. per dollar in money of account, 17s. 4d. of the new coin was to be received and taken as being equal to one pound of money of account. Further accounts were received yesterday from Batavia. We learn, that in addition to the insurrections in that quarter against the Dutch Authorities, the Sultan of Soola has declared war, and the army was only thirty miles dis tant from Satnarang. General de Kock immediately de parted front the capital to put himself at the head of the army. Tuanz WITH Baazn.—By the Act of 6 4 Gco. 111. c. 126, all goods imported to and exported from the ports in Brazil, in British ships, were subject to a rate; under the denomination consulage and contribution, of 10s. per 100/. A few years ago the merchants of Rio de Janeiro petitioned Parliament against this rate, and particularly canesd the at tention of his Majesty's Government to the very large amount which was absorbed by his Majesty's Consul- General, amounting to from eight to ten thousand pounds per annum. A complete remedy has since been admini stered. By the Act 6 Geo. IV, cap. 87, this tax on British commerce has been repealed, and after the let of January, 846, the obnoxious tax will cease to exist. The desertion of seamen from the merchants' vessels ar riving at this port still continue to a shameful extent. Eighteen guineas are riow commonly asked for the lull, and with this the Captain must not only comply, but beg and pray to get them on board. Something of a similar description seems to be prevalent at llalifax, the trans ports which brought in the 95th regiment from Ireland having lust 17 men by desertion, almost immediately alter their arrival.—Quebre Gazette. COMBlNATlON. — Apprehensions have been entertained, for some time past, that the men employed in the different collieries in this neighbourhood shortly intend to " strike." If any such disposition really exists, as there is some reason to believe, we trust they will consider the matter maturely before they throw their families into such distress as must he the inevitable consequence. A considerable number of the Jarrow pitmen have already :eft their employment, and some of them have been sent to Durham gaol. The cause of the dispute between them and their toasters is the al leged increase of work, occasioned by enlarging certain coal measure, in the pit, without any increase of pay. We are not prepared to say whether this charge is true or false. On this ground many have left their work, and it is feared that others may follow their example.—Tyne Mercury. A few days ago a fine partridge deliberately walked into the shop of Mr. S. Dodd, at the Post-office, Woburn, Bedfordshir e , and it being post time, the little wan d erer actually passed between several perviis who were waiting Ititti.t.. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATIONaiIIIRJMICRI. The following particulars, which are more full and ac. curate than any yet laid before the public, are extracted from a letter from Captain Walter, of the ship James, t o the owners, dated Miramicbi, Oct. 11, 1823: " The north side of Miramichi is now a heap of althea ; it is nor ascertained to what extent the lire reaches —so x , say eighty, some twO hundred miles bark ; for about 20 miles up and down the river nothing is seen but stacks of chimneys, they being built of stone, whereas the houses, which were of wood, are all butt, and I am sorry to say a great number of men, women, and children, catt l e, &c. My slower helped to bury thirty yesterday in one small settlement; some they had to put into coffins with spe l t" , so many as six in a coffin, according to the numb er o f the family. "Three ships are totally burnt, viz. Canada, of Nonb Shields, Concord of IVhitbv, and Jane of Alloa. The Ca. nada was all load, the others were discharging bal:ast at the same heap at the James. The James was on fire at three different places, at three different times, hut, thank God, we got it out before it got to any great height. w e have our jib, mainmast, and trysail burnt. The tire broke out about eight in the evening on the 7th instant, at the river side. All the afternoon we heard a roaring away t o the northward of us, accompanied by smoke and soot, b ot no one supposed it would be so instantaneous, for b e _ fore we could distinguish any flames, the fire flakes cam e off the land on board thicker and faster than ever I saw a snow storm in my life; branches of trees and burning leaves, and so for time same distance up arid down th e river already mentioned, and all at the same instant, s e , companied by a hurricane. It must have come throa t ', the woods at a great rate, for people who went up to e ft if they could see any thing like fire, could not, althoue. lye smoke was very thick. They ran back as fast as they could, and before they got down two minutes, the fire was st their heels. Those that were saved effected their escape by running into the river, up to their chins, and keeping their heads constantly wet. Many children who were in bed were snatched up by their mothers, and carried down to the river, but before they got them down, their shirts .had caught fire, which were torn from their backs, and in that stare they were laid on the beach, their parents keep ing them constantly wct, the father with his hat, and the mother with her shoes, until morning, when they were taken on board the shipping. I have now a family on hoard, of one man, woman, and four children, who were in that state. " People who were in the woods, as far as can be heard, were dreadfully off. Whole camps of men, from ten to Forty in a camp, who were gone in for the winter to make timber, are consumed, together with the cattle. People are coming in ; some have lost a wife and children ; some a husband and children ; some more, some less ; some naked and burnt. One woman, in particular, finding the fire too hot for her to bear, as she was running with her two chil dren, laid them down and lay upon them ; she is burnt from her heels to the crown ; so much, that not a bit of flesh is on her—the children not hurt ; she still liv e s, b ut in gri at agony. Some who could get in toboats were upset and drowned. Gilmore and Rankin s stores are all burnt except about 70 barrels of pork. They got out the fire yesterday. Mr. Abrahams, the merchant we load with, are all burnt down, I sent my carpenter to say I should be happy to see them on board, should they think proper. Mrs. Abrahams said, for God's sake take them somewhere.' fhe carpenter went into the house to take them ; the children were taken out of bed in blankets, and Mrs. Abrahams without s bonnet, with eight children, were coming to the ship who.' the fire met them in the face like a furnace ; they were obliged to return. By that time the house was all in dames ; they then made for a small schooner which lay at the wharf, and my cook, who had gone with them, .got his hand hurt , one one of his fingers has since been cut off. The second mate and carpenter have been ill since the fire. The captain's mate fell down the hold and cat his head this morning. One man bikes ill whenever in/ bard work comes, and the two men who ran I don't eipect tench Food I I from. Hoping we shall have a good loading, I son, tic. . (From the Greeno4 Alveraier,Nov. 19.1 Several vi easels have arrirel in the Clyde since our last, the whole of which left New Brunswick since the confla gration ; in one of them a gentleman came passenger, to whom we are inlebted tbr the following information nays that the setting in of the heavy ruins, and, latterly, of snow, had put a period to the ravages of the fire in the woode. Of the conflagration on the 7th of October, to which lie was an eye-witness, it is impossible for language to convey an adequate picture. From this intelligent vidual we have been favoured with the following informa tion: this, wi h the r articulan already given, it is to be hope !, wl! be aiiceptable. He states, that a custom psi. vails in New Brunswick of burning the woods for the pur pose of &earl. g. 'I he last season being particularly dry, advantage was taken of universally setting fire to the lands proposed to b' cleared, and this, from the month of May, throuAt the while season, the woods being at that time more or lens on fire in various parts. In its progress, da mage, more r r 1 sa, was done at interval times, but as long as the sap wi a i t the trees, its effect was only partial ; in the end of September, and beginning of October, it ap peared to be very general upon all sides of the Miran ic and even along the coasts, south by Richebncto. and north by the coast of Chaleur to the Ristigouche. The Circuit Court of Justice was at this time sitting at Newcastle Court House, and only finished their business at three o'clock on Friday, the 7th October. Being at this time at Nelson, one mile and a half from the Court House, he eb- Ferri 41, about four o'clock, a large cloud from the north of the Court House. This was the greatest cloud he had ever seen from fire, though he has seen at one time more than four hundred houses burning. This cloud ascended per pendicularly, and was struck by a flash of lightning upon its western edge ; at about four o'clock It care tinned to rise and spread, and about five was in like manner struck by a flash of lightning upon its eastern edpe• This was succeeded by extreme darkness and shoiven of hot ashes, till about nine, when the tire from the wools advanced south, to the river side, sweeping all before it M an instant, from the point of the S.W. westward, to the river Bartibog, upon the east, an extent of about 16 mile , . very few buildings escaping its ravages. It extended N• 1?• as far as the Ristigouche, and westward up to the N 1 , ,. and S.W. branches of the Miramichi (as 'sr as Nathaniel Moires), SO miles from the latter, where houses of ever, description were destroyed. lie thinks the houses burnt at Newcastle were about 72.; the number of atom he does not recollect. Loss or LIT ks.—Report says about 300; these were mostly in the second tier upon both sides of the river. There were also a few of the timber-maker* burned, bet not so many as at first. stated. Hundreds of barrels cl salmon were destroyed by the effects of the fire. Estimate of damage about 100,000 f. at a tench calrafs• tion. In hay, about 1,000 store, wlsich, at this t`.1::011of the year, cannot be replaced : the consequence is, thst de principal timber-makers must reduce the number of their hauling cattle; another result it, less timber will be mule than usual. • The damage done to standing timber is conviderabk and also to some already made; as to the future sal'''. the present damage will not materially affect it. Where" there was a belt or screen of bard wood, the progress of the fire was arrested. The great majority of the sufferers, especially the spa settlers, are emigrants front Ireland. On Monday, pursuant to a previous announcement, a highly respectable public meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and its neighbourhood wok plea in the Guildhall, George Forster, Esq. in the chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration the distressed state Of the inhabitants of Miramichi, in consequence of the late dreadful conflagration at that settlement; when sundry re• solutions were passed ; and thanks having been moved to the Chairman, the meeting, which was numerously Ito tended, broke up—previous to which upwards of R5O/. subscribed.—Newcostle Paper. Letters from Greenock announce the arrival of verwl' from Miramichi, the Masters of which stateat peli(110 to their sailing, there had been heavy rains th and a fall cf snow, which had effectually put a stop to the further ri vages of the conflagration in the woods.
