It will be seen by the return, that of the thirty-five families' and ten single men, amounting altbgether to 16,5 persons, six families and three single . men have left the settlement ; and with respect to the six families and three single men noted in the return - as doubtful, it must be observed that some are mechanics, who are working at their respective trades in or near the settlement, or have other employments elsewhere, which they find more profitable and better suited to them than work ing on their. land; several have avowed their intention of laying out their earnings in the, cultivation 'of their farms by tither hands, and steps will be taken. to prevent their obtaining a grant of tbeland shoul d they neglect doing so. may therefore -suppose that hot more than half of the last - mentionoti class will finally leave, the settlement ; therefore after deducting these and the number already gone away (twenty-two personS), from the whole number which arrived at Drummondville, there will remain an increase to the settlement of one hundred and thirty-four persons.. The quantity of land deared.by the new settlers is one hun dred and forty seven acres, or about four acres on an average to each lot settled by them ;• this quantity will not appear tou lit tle, if,lt be considered, that they were totally unacquainted with the manner of clearing wild land, that several of theM were under the necessity of going away. for a time, in order to earn seed for their farms, or, cloathing .for their families, that the season was late, wet, and unfavourable, that many even hi old farmer's who had been long settled in the Townships, were prevented from clearing their lands by being unable to get a burn as it is termed. Taking into the account all these impe diments, the progress which the Emigrants have made will ap pear by no means inconsiderable. The Drummondville Committee have the satisfaction' of knowing, through the bounty of - the Quebec Emigrants: So ciety, 30 families or single persons have been established in the settlement, who appear with scarcely an exception-, to be or derly, industrious, and likely to succeed, and also believe that upon examination it will be found 'that economy has been at tended to since the funds were placed 'at their disposal. With regard to. those who have thought proper to depart, the Committee have also the consolation of reliecting, that some of them were not the most eligible of the migratory tribe, and. consequently, as their presence could befit be spared, their absence will be less regretted. Bnoexvii.f.E, (U. C.) APRIL 30.—The steam-boat Char lotte passed at Brockville, for the first time this year, on Satur day last. It is expected that her trips will be so arranged this week, as to pass here in the afternoon of Wednesdays, and Fri days on going down the river, and, to return the next morning, in each week during the season.—On the 25th 'April at King ' stop, U. C: the weather had just then become favourable for the operations of the farmer and horticulturist. _ _ _ . QUEBEC, MAY 9.—Between the 28th April and 2d May, several vessels arrived in extraordinary short passages from Europe at New York. By these vessels London evening pa pers of the Ist, Glasgow papers to the Ist, and Liverpool to th e 3d of April, have been received. The probability that the ports of the British West India Islands would be opened direct from the United States had increased; indeed the measure seems from all quarters to be talked of as decided upon. Whether it is the intention of Parliament to favour the Colonies with protecting duties or not, we have not learned. Yet it is a grievous thing to see ourselves neglected, or at least not much talked of, in both the new Corn Bill and this measure. To what we shall be re duced when our only markets for fish, 'provision, and wheat are shut, every merchant knows., When the merchant carries on any trade, though he may not be making his fortune, he has some hopes of not mining himself, and he does good to the country at large—for, he is the means of employing many peo ple about his article of,export, from the time that it leaves the field or forest to the time it is shipped, and, when he ceases to trade, these people must of necessity be drawn into employ ments in which they are not skilled, or out of employment alto gether. It is an easy and common thing to say that we shall turn farmers, but cultivating land when we cannot sell our pro duce is of little use ; we may, with great exertions, to be sure, feed and clothe ourselves, but it will be with the coarse ma terials of the husbandman, and our vanity and ease, (and they are somethitig) will suffer in . the first place, and then our means of improvement in every thing else will in due course. be lost. `We are happy to learn that it is intended to extend the Tele graphic Stations to No. 7, at L'islet, and keep a boarding boat as usual. The men have gone down to-day. In some cases lives may be saved by the assistance of the men who manage the Telegraphs, the merchant benefitted, and at any rate the curiosity of the public gratified. A beautiful Brig of more than 200'tons called the Nimrod, owned by Charles Hunter, Esq., was safely launched' from his ship yard this morning. An armed Revenue Cutter is established at New Brunswick, to seize all suspected vessels found hovering or at anchor on that coast ; and an additional duty of:one per cent. is laid on importations from the United States to support the Cutter. No vessel is to be unloaded but at the free ports under a penalty of 2001. YORK, (U. C.) Arnie. 25.—Tuesday the 23d instant; be ing the Anniversau of Saint George, at twelve o'clock, a Royal Salute was fired from the Garrison, and the Lieutenant Governor, with his Staff, having arrived on the ground, proceeded to review the widely extended line—after which, taking his station in front of the whole, the band struck up the national anthem of " God save the King." His Ex cellency then dismounted,and accompanied by his Staff, on foot, approached the Guard of Honour so near as to be distinctly heard by the men—when, uncovering himself, and taking one of the Colours in his hand, in the most dignified and gracefil • "Sqldiers—i have great satisfaction in presenting you, as • the representative of the late - Incorporated Battalion, with these Colours—a distinguished mark of his Majesty's . app - nba tion. They will be to you a proud memorial of the past, and a rallying point, around which you will gather with alacrity .and contidence,.shoulii yotir active services be ,required here after by Your,Ring aid Country."

The arrival of the Eagle opens a new and interesting era in the navigation and commerce of the Arkansas.—This account affords a very striking picture of the growth -and extent of the United States.—Steam-boats are running, carrying freights and passengers, and exhibiting all the activity and bustle of com merce on a frontier, from which it takes intelligence a longer time to arrive than from the continent of Europe.—Our last advices from England are several days later , than from Little Rock, although regular mails are estetblished,,and the mode of conveyance is not tardy.

QUEBEC, dtmlE 3.—His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, accompanied by Capt. Hay and Mr. Malik, Aides-de-Camp, came down from • Sorel yesterday evening, in the Lady Sher brooke ; a salute was fired from the Cape on his Excellency's arrival. - A great number of.vessels have arrived since Friday evening, amounting to upwards. of 50, and the Captain of a brig that came in on Saturday counted above 100, all of which he passed between Cape Rozier and this port. The whole number arrived since the opening of the navigation is 176. The spirit for emi gration, if we judge from the arrivals to this date, is not as strong as it was, yet the distresses Which exist over an extended portion of Ireland, and which, if we are to give credit to the statements given in the latest Irish Papers, (as late as the 27th April) are in numberless eases extreme, though ascribed to tem porary causes, and the disturbances in that country will pro bably force many more of these people upon us, who, generally destitute and always ignorant-of farming, as applied to this country, or any trade, resort to the most precarious occupations. It is owing to this that many of them,who are w ling to labour, are thrown - upon the piiblic.evervautbrim in ,poverty, or fOrcul to new settlements, in want, and exposed to the inclemency of the winter ; the relief which he Emigrant's Society afforded is now refused, and very justly. ..The steam-boat Laprarie, lately built to ply as a ferry-boat between Montreal and the village of Laprarie, arrived to-day.

QUEBEC, JUNE 13.—Nothingeould induce us to think that the union of the governments of the two Provinces into one was seriously intended, except the advices lately received, viz. that reference had been made to persons having a knowledge of the country for information to draw up a bill to that purpose. , We sincerely think that no measure could meet with more decided and general disapprobation from the people of Lower Canada. The Acts granting the present constitutions must be repealed, and another Act passed in their stead ; if we are to rely - upon re port, this act will somewhat vary from that which gives us the constitution we now live under; for it is said that the Imperial Parliament is to iaise taxes for the support of the Civil Govern ment of the Colony. We would siniply wish to know what are the advantages to be gained by such an union. It is said that considerable expences will -be • savect —ln as far as regards the' Mother Country, an union will not probably save one penny. The civil officers of the Colonies are paid by the Colonies . ; they alone" will be di minished innimiaber-: and it requires neither an union nor.any thing of the kind to reduce the Military- establiShinents, which _ alone, are-paid by the Motlier,Country. It is alleged, however, that the lower Province is ever feedihg upon the upper Pro vince, by a system of levying duties ut the .port of 'Quebec, which are - not recovered on the entrance of the goods into -Up per Canada, and this will be set at rest, and can this not he settled without an union ? is there no simpler remedy than an innovation of which the consequences are not easily foreseen Why not establish a Custom-house where drawbacks will be regularly _allowed ? It strikes us that if there were any necessity for two govern► meats in the year 1791, there is more necessity after the popula tion has increased and the country extended.—Besides the peo ple of Upper.and Lower Canada are essentially unconnected by - I habits and religion with each other. Each will he fearful of losing that political influence in its Councils to which - it attri butes some share of its welfare, and when in one representative body, each will probably have very distinct views which will eidually'lead into formal opposition.. As a matter of mere practicability, is notthe measure attended with insurmountable obs'taeles ? if it is intended to remove the seat of Government to Montreal, (which we have heard only upon conjecture), must , not that place be fortified at greatexpence. to Britain ; is it not within a day's march of the American Line ; and cannot every ' supply from the Mother Country be intercepted if the enemy occupy any one foot of the roads leading from Quebec to that • !plaber- 'Would.not the Administration of Justice be-more dif ficult and less effectual, in proportion to the extent of th,e coun try tWould not many of the present Civil. Officers beismiss ed and neglected who deserved a better fate . ? Under what laws shall we liveiwill the French civil law which is in force in Lower Canada be still.recognized ? or that of Upper Canada go • into force ? The Civil Law of the one or the other must be changed ; and if the reader knows the difference between them,: and the attachment of each party to its own, he must see that a scheme more impossible in execution has never entered the head of any legislator. We do not believe that any difference of opi nion .on the subject can exist among persons knowing the actual state of the-provinces. His Excellency the Governor went up to Sorel in the Lady Sheibrookeyesterday morning. The Hon. Francis N a th an i e l Burton, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, arrived yesterday in the New Swiftsure. . The Earl Fiti-William, H. J. Jackson, master, which hail ed from Hull on the 6th April . , was wrecked on the Island of Anticosti on the 25th May last ; crew and passengErs all saved. The steam-boat Superior, Capt. J. Rogers, - left Buffalo on the 14th inst. on her first trip to Detroit. Coarie Salt.—The Legislature - of the SUtte of New York, in its last Session,- in order to encourage the manufacture of coarse salt, within the western district of this state, granted a bounty of 3 cents per bushel on all coarse salt manufactured within the said district, for the term of five years, and Which shall be de livered on the banks of the Hudson River, or at Buffalo, on the shores of Lake Erie, or shipped from the port of Oswego to the province of Upper Canada. FittEs.—Abbut a quarter before seven o'clock on Saturday evening an alarming fire broke out in the exten. sive manufactory belonging to Messrs . . Astor and Co. piano. forte and musical instrument makers, in Tottenham-street, Tottenham Court-road. The manufactory was in the rear of the dwelling, and covered a large extent or ground, filled with a vast variety of_ musical instruments, mahogany, satinwood, rosewood ebony,' and other valuable wood, cut up into thin boards, besides the workinen's benches, tools,and otherproperty of a combustible nature. In half an hour after the workmen left off a strong smell.of fire was perceived; but before it. could be ascertained whence it proceeded, the flames burst out, and a general conflag,ration of the neighbourhood appeared to be inevi table. The inhabitants were seen flying in every direction, car rying with them whatever articles first c me to hand, which Were healed up . against the - houses in Cleveland and other streets. Seven pet eight fire-engines arrived as so cm as pes:ible, bnt not a drop of water could be procured for an hour, during which they were rendered useless. It being clear day, not any person had suffered bodily injury by the flames; but, before eight o'clock; these extensive premises were reduced to a heap of rubbish. The dwellifig-house escaped the devouring'element. Mr. Wil kinson's large brass-foundry in Tottenhani-mews was greatly damaged. All the glass in the windows in the rear of Covent garden workhouse was entirely cracked from the tire, and seve ral of the surrounding buildings were greatly damaged.—Satur day morning an alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. Troughton, oil and colourman, Charles-street, Blackfriars-road, which threw the neighbourhocd into a state of consternation, for some time. The fire it appears originated in c;ni.:quence of a spark flying on some clothes before the fire, and in the absence of the-servant the flames spread to a considerable height, and were not discovered until much damage was suslained. The alarm soon caused several engines to arrive on the spo ti and the active efforts of the firemen, who had a plentiful supply of water, soon quelled the devouring, element :,, but considerable injury was done both to the ho use an d furniture. During the fire a poor milkman humanely entered the house to e der his assistance to the distressed inmates, leaving his pails full of milk outside on the pavement, and during his absence in saving the property of others, his own wa ; Completely destroyed by a gang of hardened and ravenous boys, who devoured the poor fellow's milk and upset his pails. .
