IVIONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received a New Brunswick Paper of December 8,
from which we copy the following :
" The official Gazette contains numerous orders respecting
the Militia ; 12 battalions are incorporated for six months'
service, and various regiments of Militia are called out into
active service throughout the province. The companies will
be stationed on Wolfe Island for six months ; several com-
panies are stationed at Belville ; others at Brockville, Bryton,
Whitby, Niagara, and along the whole frontier. We should
suppose that the whole number cannot be less than 10,000
under arms ; the whole supported by a strong force of artil-
lery, and all munitions of war in profusion, commanded every-
where by the most skilful officers."
The Toronto Papers say that the Americans in Kingston
are leaving by squads.—Kingston Herald.
(From the Fredericton Sentinel.)
Some reports having been circulated that a sum of money,
voted by the Legislature to the men who did garrison duty
last winter, had been misapplied by the officers, and that
disappointment had been expressed at the Lieut.- Governor's
not inspecting the militia training, his Excellency promptly
ordered the militia of Fredericton to assemble on Wednesday
last, and arrived on the ground about two o'clock. His Ex-
cellency expressed his surprise and concern on learning that
a disinclination existed on the present occasion; the troops
being about to be withdrawn, he said he had instituted an in-
quiry, and was happy to find the men had been misled, and
the officers in command of companies would explain the man-
ner in which the money had been appropriated. During his
address, and at the conclusion, three hearty cheers were given,
and after the Lieut.-Governor quitted the ground Col. Min-
chen entered into explanation with them.
