Numerous files of American Papers, as well as from Mon-
treal and Quebec, have been received this morning by the

received on Saturday by the latter steamer.

The chief topic of conversation in the City relates to the
putting down of the Rebels in Canada. A good sample of their
valour, and what they have to expect, will be seen in the Ga-
zelle, in another part of the Paper.

HALF-PAST ONE.
A Jamaica Paper states that the irregular manner in which
labour is performed, is generally complained of; on some
estates, in which the people turn out and work well fur a Reek
or two, scarcely a soul is to be seen at work the next week
or two. . .

Another Jamaica Paper, of the 19th ult., states that the
intelligence per post is extremely contradictory ; at the north
side, agreeably to Standard and Cornwall Chronicle, things
are going on very badly indeed, but our letters give an en-
tirely different version.
We have learned, with a considerable degree of pain, that
scarcely a hoe has this week b-en raised through the whole
parish of Westmoreland. The labourers everywhere reject
the terms offered by their masters.
Our accounts from Hanover are not much better, some
estates in particular. A correspondent actually informs us,
that not only is passive resistance strongly maintained and in-
culcated by ene and all of the labourers, but threats have
been whispered by some of them that they would murder Mr.
Burk in his bed.

Consols have continued firm during the whole of the morn-
ing, and may be quoted at present 93 94 for the Account ;
Reduced, 92k. The Government broker purchased during the
morning about 6,0001. Reduced at 93.
We have no further news from Canada, which has given
great satisfaction to the merchants as well as to the public.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active continues heavy at
161 ; Portuguese, 29/ -4.; Three per Cents., 19i 20 ; Co-
lombian, 2641 ; Brazilian, 77i ; Russian, 1114 ; Dutch Two-
and-a- Half per Cents, 541; Five per Cents., 1001 /.
In Shares very little doing ; prices much the same as on
Saturday last.

TIMER O'CLOCK

MURDER AND ARSON AT NEWCASTLE.—The
Gateshead Observer states that, down to five o'clock on Sa-
turday afternoon, nothing further had transpired to fix, with
certainty, the guilt of this murder upon anyindividual. During
the day, the room in which the deed was committed, and the
adjoining apartment, in which the torch was applied, and the
wood-work of which is nearly all destroyed, have had nu-
merous visitors. The first blow had been struck, appa-
rently, at the door of the former room, as the victim was
attempting to escape from his assailant. The blood, which
followed the blow, has spurted over the door ; and there
is the mark of a pool of blood on the floor, as if Mr.
Millie had fallen down. Then, on the wainscot between
the door and the fireplace, there is a further sprinkling of
blood, the evident cansequences of a further blow ;
and there are also on the wood-work at this place,
the marks of fingers which had paddled among the blood.
At the fireplace, where the body was found, lying on a
hearthrug, the floor is soaked in the blood which had flowed
from the head ; and from the splashed condition of the
grate, fender, and chimney-piece, it is clear that numerous
savage blows must here have been inflicted on the mur-
dered man. His pockets were filled with pieces of coal,
wrapped up in paper packets, in order, it is supposed, that
when the fire reached him, he might consume the more
readily ; but the mystery is, why, if it were wished to de-
stroy the body, it was not placed in the room where the
fire was raging. For the information of distant readers,
who visited Newcastle during the meeting of the British
Association, we may state, that the two rooms in question
were then used as the ‘` Inquiry Rooms," and that it is the
larger in which the deed was perpetrated, and the smaller
which was set on fire.
The number of persons confirmed by the Bishop of
Winchester in the county of Hants, during his late pro-
gress, was 9,324 being a large increase upon the late con-
firmation.
The lighthouse and part of the pier at Ardglass, in
the Bay of Dundrum, which had been nearly completed at
an expense of 26,0001., were destroyed by the violence of
the late storms.
The Christmas pantomime at Covent-Garden
Theatre is to be called liarlepin and Fair Rosamond ;
or Old Dame Nature and the Fairy Art.
