SPECIMEN OF ANNUAL PREMIUMS TO ASSURE £lOO. The return of killed and wounded in the affair of St. Denis e we understand, to be as follows :-1 serjeant and 1 private of the 24th, 2 privates of the 32d, and we believe 2 privates of the 66th killed : 5 men of 32d and 24th, wounded, one of them dangerously. We believe the above estimate of the wounded does not include , Captain Markham, nor yet those who are slightly hurt. • On the other side, the numbers are now known to be much greater. Report places Mr. Ovide Perrault, M.P.P., among those killed in the large house. • A gentleman who arrived in town yesterday from St. Alban's, Vt., reports that Dr. Cote, E. E. Rodier, and Joshua Bell, are at Swanton ; and that Louis Marchand Eustache Soupras, Timothe Franchese, Dr. Davignon, Papineau, of St. Cesaire, and three others not named, are at lighgate.

The packet-ship Cambridge, which saileck. from Nev York on the 2d inst., has just arrived off the port, and her papers and letters have been brought up by a steam boat. The contents of the papers received by this conveyance are of the very highest importance. The civil war in Canada had commenced in real earnest. An en gagement bad taken place between 200 of the regular troops and flit rebels at St. Dennis, in which the latter were successful. The Queen's troops were assailed from houses as thentpproached, and were driven back with the loss of 16 killed and two brass field- The British America, which reached the city yesterday morn ing at two o'clock, brought up 3,000 stand of arms.

" A gentleman who arrived in town yesterday from St. Eu stache, mentions thatlhe blacksmiths, in that part of the country, are working day and night making pikes and bayonets, and that fortifications are erecting at different places. " It seems that the Parennes steam-boat, on the way from Sorel. to St. Ours with ammunition and provisions, was attacked by the Canadians on the bank, and with some difficulty made her escape back to Sorel. She again started, as is said, with guns on board well loaded with grape-shot. _ _ deees taken. Among therseriouily wounded was Captain Mark lam.

Sweet and Sutton, 13asinghall-street, Lon don ; Mr. Henry Faithful, Brighton. • SECRETARY—Mr. Thomas Wood. The Directors, anxious to arrive at the best possible data by 'ts hick to test the merits of the Line to Brighton selected by the Government Engineer, instructed Mr. Rastrick to make out the 'rocking s urveys, levels, and estimates of the Main Lin e and Branch to Shoreham, and to report thereupon to the Board, and to afford a ddit;owal and corroborative evidence on the subject, the Directors requested Mr. Locke personally to inspect every part of the Line, and l'ivestigate the estimates, in order that he might be enabled to report fully on every point. Mr. Rastrick and Mr. Locke have completed their labours, and made their reports to the Directors, which have been submitted to the Subscribers ; and the Directors need hardly state that those "Ports are quite satisfactory, and prove beyond all question the eligibility of the Line, the cost of making it, and the time in which it can be completed. It only remains for the Directors to call the attention of the Subscriber to what more particularly affects their interests, namely, the profits which may be safely calculated upon. Taking the estimate of Mr. Locke (which is the highest)7 the sum required for making the Main Line, and the Branch to Shoreham, including Stations and every contingency, amounts to £920,000 To this is to be added the estimate of Mr. Driver for Land, and the liabilities to which the Company is sub ject with various Landholders, making together a sum not exceeding Thus it is seen that the Main Line and Branch to Shoreham, including Land, Buildings, Stations, and every conting ency will be completed for the sum of £ 1 , 120 , 000 Having thus ascertained the capital to be expended in the Alain line and Branch to Shoreham, the Directors refer to the income as proved in evidence before the Committees of both llouses of Parliament. From this evidence it appears that the traffic will pro duce a gross income of 305,0001. Deducting 50 per cent. from the sum for the annual expenses, there will remain a net income of .152,500/. to be divided amongst the Subscribers. In closing this Report the Directors cannot refrain from con gratulating the Subscribers on the favourable position of the Cm.npany, as they feel confident that this undertaking will lead to rcsults alike beneficial to the Subscribers, the town of Brigh ton, and the public at large.

" This volume is a clever and clearly-written treatise on an ex tensive class of diseases, accompanied by a vast number of testi monials, indicative of the success of the author.

As to the result, it will be seen that our cor respondents at Montpelier, Vermont, give us a very different state ment from the Montreal paper. Watchman and Journal Office, Montpelier, Vt., Nov. We have been favoured with an interesting letter from a gentle man in Alburgh, dated the 26th, from which Is e make the follow ing extracts:— "We have had plenty of company here for a week past. Our visiters are principally Radicals from Canada. They are collecting arms and ammunition as fast as possible. The feelings of our in habitants are very much interested in their favour, 'and there ap pears to be a similar feeling among the citizens of St. Albans. They have been presented with a great number of guns, swords, &c. by individuals of this village, and the girls are preparing a standard to present to them. Messengers are frequently passing to and from Canada. The people of 7.llissiique Bay, who, by the bye, are all Tories, keep a guard on all the roads through or near that place, and stop and examine all suspicions persons. They are, in my opinion, taking a very foolish course, for the Government is in no condition to send troops there to assist them ; and, should the Ra dicals obtain possession of St. John's, which I have no doubt they will do in a few weeks, they will then be in hot water. And in deed I believe that the Radicals now on this side of the line will make a dash upon them when they leave here. " Sir John Colborne, the Commander-in-Chief of Canada, has issued a proclamation, offering a large bounty to all who will enlist for a term of years, or during the war. " The Radicals are concentrating their forces at St. Charles and St. Zezerves, and have commenced fortifying the first-mentioned place. It is expected that a Declaration of Independence will be issued by the Canadians in a few days, and then the Yankees will make tracks' for Canada. At least nine-tenths of the people are Radicals. A crisis has arrived, and if ever they intend to revolu tionize, now is the time to do it. The feelings of the great mass of the people are prepared for it ; while the Government have only 4,500 troops in the whole province, and cannot get more before the opening of the navigation next spring." " Two o'Clock, p.m. " An express, from St. Charles, has just come in ; frOm 200 to 400 of the British troops were taken prisoners ; their colonel, a capt„ in, and 50 privates killed. Ten patriots killed. The engage metrt was on Wednesday. 'Tis true—not a doubt of it. " In addition to the foregoing, we learn that an express from the .British Government (for New Brunswick, it is said) passed through this place last night. Rumours are in circulation that the people of the Upper Province have risen, declaring themselves independent, and taken possession of Toronto, and other important places ; but we know not on what authority this is given. " By a slip from the Burlington Free Press office, we learn that the patriots lost 90 men in the affair of St. Dennis. CONFIRMATION. " A gentleman from Montreal confirms the above statement, excepting that the battle at St. Charles took place on Saturday instead of Wednesday." " Franklin Journal—Extra—St. Alban's Vermont, Tuesday Evening, Nov. 28, 1837. " Passengers in the stage who left Meßtreal last evening, and arrived at Highgate this evening, report that the Patriots are gaining at St. Charles. " Frequent skirmishes have taken place, the result generally favourable to the Patriots. " Yesterday and to-day the firing was heard in the direction of St. Charles. " They contradict the rumour so current for the last twenty four hours, that the Royalists had taken St. Charles , routed th e Patriots, killed 400, and taken General Brown prisoner. " The greatest excitement prevails in the community. Amidst the multitude of rumours it is almost impossible to ascertain the exact truth. A day or two will furnish something decisive. 6 ‘ LATER. STILL.-10 o'clock p.m.—We lean , . from a source we credit, that on Saturday, at 11 p.m., the British attacked the Pa triots—there was hard fighting untils a.m.— for a while the Pa triots were put to confusion. " A reinforcement of I,SOO Patriots came up, attacked the Bri tish in the rear and routed them. The Royalists had retreated to a wood, and constant accessions of the Canadian tooops were pour ing in when the messenger left. The Royalists had burned the village of St. Charles. " We look hourly for further intelligence. The result isdoubtful. " Great fears are entertained at Montreal of an invasion from Terrebonne where a large patriot force was collected. " Almost all the regulars were at St. Charles. The volunteers were barricading the streets of the city. (From the Montreal Courier of Monday, Nov. 27.) INIPOR CANT FROM LIEUTENANT-COLONEL WETHERALL—TAKING OF ST. CHARLES. " On Wednesday night Lieut.-Colonel Wetherell left Chambly for St. Charles, at the same hour at which Colonel Gore left Sorel. The force under his command consisted of four compa nies of the Royals, and one or two companies (we are uncertain which) of the 66th, with two pieces of artillery under Capt. Glas gow,sand about 20 cavalry under Capt. David. Immediately on their crossing the basin to the east side of the river, blue lights fired by the rebels gave notice of their march to those lower down. The troops proceeded, encountering the worst of weather and roads, through the night, and through the forenoon of Thurs day, till, on arriving at Rouville, some six or seven miles from St. Charles, they found a bridge of considerable size removed, and were forced to bivouac there for the night. " The next day appears to have been spent in getting up a new bridge, refreshing the troops, and obtaining information. Major Ward, with the Grenadier Company of the Royals from St. John's also joined the main body, we believe, during that day. Major W. had reached Chambly too late to join the march, and had thereupon taken the precaution to procure scows and batteaux for the eonveyance of his company down the river to Rouville, by whiCh means they arrived at that place fresh and well prepared for service. " During the whole of this time the communication by despatches with Chambly and Montreal was extremely irregular, most of those sent out towards Rouville being driven back, and little or no news being brought in from that quarter. All sorts of reports of course prevailed by turns. Yesterday afternoon Mr. M`Gillis, of the Montreal Cavalry, who had carried out despatches to Chambly the day before, returned to town with intelligence re ceived there just before he left. From this it appears, on what we have reason to believe the best authority, that on Satut day af ternoon, at two p.m., Lieutenant-Colonel Wetherell reached and took St. Charles, with little or no loss to his own force, but with a loss of 100 or snore killed, and about 200 prisoners, to its de fenders. Among the killed or taken, the names of Mr. T. S. Brown and Charles Drolet are mentioned, but this statement, we believe, rests as yet only on oral testimony, and perhaps requires confirmation. We understand that the capture was effected with great ease. Mr. Brown had formed lines of defence on three sides of the vil lage, viz., along the river, and in the directions of Chambly and St. Denis. On the 4th side was rising ground, which he had reserved for occupation by a body of his own men, in case of tile ccssity, and which commanded the village. Colonel Wethera I, having learned something of his preparations, made a detour to the right, and coming in from this unexpected quarter, took immediate possession of this ground ; acting from which he at once succeeded in dislodging the rebels from their supposed stronghold. " The village of St. Charles is stated to have been totally de stroyed in the attack, the houses and barns generally having been fired by the discharge, we presume, of rockets or hot shot from the artillery. A bright light seen last night in that direction, from the city, and also from the deck of the British America, some distance down the river, on her way up, strongly confirms the report, though indeed it is hardly one that requires confirmation. " Of the course taken by Col. W., after this affair, we have no certain information. Up to a late hour last night, we believe, no dispatches had been received direct from him, a fact easily ac counted for by the disturbed state of the country, which renders their transmission extremely difficult. The report brought in, via Chambly, we believe, stated that the main body of the fugi tives had taken the direction of St. Hilaire, followed, as we un derstood by Col. Wetherell. To this report, so far as the former are concerned, we can see no objection on the score of probability. The route to St. Hilaire was open to them, and the reported pre sence of a large body of their adherents at Point Olivier, still nearer Chambly, may have induced them to take it. So far as the Colonel is concerned, we are half inclined to question it. " A bright light seen last evening in the direction of St. Denis, between 7 and 8 o'clock, would seem to raise the presumption that that village was then suffering the same fate with St. Charles, and doubtless from the same hands. A short time will determine the correctness or incorrectness of the surmise. "In the meantime, there can be but one opinion of the skill with which the gallant Colonel has thus far conducted his expedi tion, or the probable success with which he may be expected to perform the remaiuder of the duty assigned to him. Should his prisoners prove to be many of the rank that may reasonably be ex pected, we may hope that the results of his march from Chambly will prove in the highest degree important and satisfactory. " We understand from a gentleman now in town, who was at St. Charles on Wednesday last, that on approaching the village, two sentinels who were posted at the entrance levelled their gulls at him, and demanded his business there ; that on his replying that he was travelling, about the country buying wheat, Mr. T. S. Brown came up, and also levelled his gun at him, but afterwards recog nising him, spoke to him in a haughty tone, stating that all the wheat in that part of the country would be required for the use of the army. Tice gentlemau was finally allowed to pass, and escaped from the place, on the plea of corning to town to get an additional sum of money, to pay for a quantity of wheat he had purchased from an individual who refused to take his nate, He says that the. village was fortified on three sides with large trees, but di a not • appear to be very strong. A great number of men appeared to be town last night (growing, we presume, cor ut. kstraenptolyrto,nvate o s h cu lo rre k n - t o out of the preparations known to have been making all the week previous, for further disturbances in the county of Two Moun tains, and the statement that a grand muster of the mal-contents was to be held early in the day in that quarter), that an attack upon the city was to be expected during the night. Strong guards of the several volunteer battalions were posted accordingly at an early hour, on every avenue leading to the city. The rumour proved, as w as indeed expected by almost everybody, to be ground lees, but the spirit with which the volunteers came forward in all quarters to the discharge of their duties, was in the highest d egree satisfactory, and gave good evidence of the probable effitiencv ei their several corps, should their seryjoes ever b‘ • kgStre. strtcYo4 re iuired hereaftevl " The following call, signed by 61 gentlemen, native. or •t he descendants of natives, of th United States, appear,in the Monte al papers of Saturday. " MoNTILEAL, Nov. 24, 1837.—Whereas, a belief appears to exist among the disaffected in this province, that the attempt to shake off the authority of Her Majesty's Government, met With the symj:athies, and is likely to receive the support of the inhabi tants of the United States, " A general meeting of the inhabitants of this city and its vici nity, of American origin, is appointed to be held in the New Wing attached to the Exchange Coffee-house, on Tuesday next, the 28th instant, at 3 o'clock p.m, for the purpose of expressing their con viction that the belief alluded to is unfounded, and declaring ade termination to lend flair aid in support of the authority of Her Majesty's Government and the maintenance of the laws."
