FIRE AT BAGOR3 M.— A letter from the office of the Ban-
gor Whig, dated Sundry evening, states that a destructive
tire had broken out there on that morning, which had consumed
several buildings, and a considerable quantity of valuable
property. The fire originated in a buiiding in \Vail-street,
cceupied by N. Johnson, coppersmith, and had gained so much
headway before being discovered, that the efforts of the fire
department to extinguish the flames were for same time una-
vailing, and the tive-:rime houses adjoining, hi Wall-street,
three tenements in Main-street, known as the Arcade-build-
ings, and some two or three other houses, were consumed be-
fur the fire was got under.

'A private letter from Bermuda, dated the Ist of August,

It appears that ten or the rebels who escaped from Kingston
have got over into New York State. Montgomery, who kept
the tavern in Yonge•street, Toronto, is among them.

LOWER CANADA.

MONTREAL, AUG. 21, 1838.---Yesterday, about mid-day, a
salute from the island announced the arrival of his Excellency
the Governor-General. A vast concourse of persons of all
classes were assembled to witness the disembarkation, which
was attended with as much ceremony as on the previous
arrivals. The Governor-General was accompanied by their
Excellencies Sir Colin Campbell and Sir C. A. Fitzroy,
Vice-Admiral Sir C. Paget, Sir John Colborne, and the staff
and family of his Lordship. They shortly afterwards pro-
ceeded to the race-course.

His Excellency, Sir George Arthur, arrived at Coteau du
Lac on Sunday morning, and proceeded thence in the steam-
boat Neptune, to Cornwall. lie visited the St Lawrence
Canal, and minutely examined the locks, &c., with which he
expressed himself well pleased. From his remarks we have
reason to believe that an immediate grant will be made to
complete the canal. His Excellency was to leave Cornwall
yesterday morning, and, passing through the whole line of
the canal, would embark at the landing this morning for
Kingston.

August 22.
His Excellency the Gyvirnor-General, after leaving the
race-course, proceeded immediately on board the John Bull,
where he entertained a large party to dinner. It was gene-
rally reported that he would leave early this morning for
Quebec.

The following Address was presented to his Excellency the
Governor-General, by a deputation of the inhabitants of

Sorel :

" To his Excellency the Right Hon. John George Earl of

Durham, Viscount Lambton, &c. -
" May it please your Excellency,—We, the inhabitants of
the borough of William Henry, her Majesty's loyal subjects,
most respectfully beg leave to approach your Excellency, .to
offer our sincere congratulations on your accession to the
Government of her Majesty's American Colonies.
" We are aware, may it please your Excellency, that in
acceptance of the high commission which her Majesty has
been graciously pleased to entrust to one of the most prominent
Statesmen of the British empire, great personal sacrifices end
considerations have been borne out by that warmth of true
patriotism which has ever distinguished your Excellency's long
political career, and we should be wanting to ourselves were
we not to express, with the most grateful feelings, our entire
appreciation of the marked interest which her Majesty bears
towards her Canadian subjects, when entrusting in these
eventful times the adjustment of our provincial difficulties to
:a Nobleman who has already rendered the most important
services to his country, particularly upon measures much be-
yond the ordinary occurrence of diplomacy. It now only re-
mains with us to place the most unreserved and implicit reli.
ance in your Excellency's auspicious Administration, in
calming the much-lamented intestine commotion, and of pro-
moting, by your high prerogatives, such politital and moral
institutions as are best adapted to our wants and privileges,
and most conducive to the prosperity and happiness of her
Majesty's Canadian subjects. ,
" William Henry, Aug. 15, 1835."
To this his Excellency was pleased to return the following
reply :

-"-Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks for your kind
congratulations, and for this flattering testimony of }our es-
teem and confidence.

" I have not undertaken the fulfilment of the arduous duties
to which you refer without a full knowledge of the difficulties
which would beset me in every quarter. I am prepared to
encounter them without flinching—nor will I voluntarily re-
linquish the task I have imposed on myself, until I have
had an opportunity of proposing to her Maj►sty's Ministers
and the Imperial Parliament such a permanent arrangement,
as will provide for the maintenance of public tranquillity, and
for the dne protection of the just rights and interests of
all classes of her Majesty's subjects in the North American
Colonies."
