COLONIAL WHEAT.

Accounts from Quebec state, that the Cana-
dians are making considerable shipments of grain
to this country; a great many vessels had been
chartered for the purpose at high freights. It is
hardly necessary to add, that the speculation
must prove a ruinous one, the price of grain in
England being under the amount at which the
produce of the Canadas is admitted into the
United kingdom for consumption. The follow,
ing letter from Montreal, state the wishes of the
Colonists respecting this matter :
CANADA.—( Montreal, Nov. 20,1821.
" The Timber Question being disposed of

there remains a most important point to be obtained
for the benefit of the Canadas. I mean the free ad-
mission of OUR grain at all times into the United
Kingdom for sale, which would be a great boon
to us, and no injury to the British Agriculturist,
it being demonstrable that the greatest quantity
of wheat and flour we could send in a year would
not supply the British Nation with five days'
bread consumption, and consequently could have
no sensible effect upon the prices. All that wE
could send would be paid for in BRITISH MANLY..
FACTURES and WEST INDIA PRODUCE, which is
an essential difference from the payments made
for FOREIGN Corn. Such a boon would also
tend to strengthen the loyalty and attachment of
these Provinces to THE KING and the Mother
Country, whereas EXCLUSION, without good and
substantial cause, fosters discontent, and exposes
OUR population to the intrigues and misrepresen-
tations of demagogues, who are ever ready to
promote mischief, and alienate the minds of the
multitude from National attachment and sound
principles. The state of your late harvest we
consider as favourable to our views, and OUR
wheat from its EXTREME HARDINESS iS most va-
luable for mixing wig,' the moist wheats of the
United Kingdom, and especially in a season when
they are ill-gotten in."

No further American Papers have arrived this
morning of a later date than those received yes-
terday, except a file to the 2d December.
[Extract of a Letter from Boston, Nov. 20.]

" The recent events in South America, inde-
pendent of their political influence, are highly
interesting to this country in a commercial point
of view ; the success of the South American Pa-
triots will open to our commerce a continent
richly stored by nature. A cargo of domestic
manufactures has already been shipped from New
York for South America ; this I consider to be
the beginning of an important trade, and the

opening of a new and rich source of wealth to
this country."

It is with much pleasure we have to state,
that the exports of British manufactures to the
United States from this port are at present more
considerable than has been known for some time
past, and not on the manufacturers' account, but
in consequence of orders from America ; and we
believe in many instances the goods are paid for
before they leave this country.— ( Liverpool,
Dec. 29.)
Extract of a Letter from Batavia, Aug. 30.

CALCUTTA, AUG. 20—The summer has been
exceedingly hot, and numbers have died of the
cholera morbus. Prudent persons would not go
to bed without a bottle of laudanum and a bottle
of brandy near their pillow, as this alone would
check the disease. The crops of coffee in Batavia
were expected to be good."

We are sorry to state, from private letters,
that the rebellious organization in Ireland,
though it has been in some degree checked, is
still going on, and the plunder of arms is
still extensive, even close to the very county
where the Commission was held. Many Gentle-
men have received threatening letters. The
most intelligent persons in Ireland, say that the
only adequate remedy is the revival of the In-
surrection Act, and that it is folly to suppose that
the Papists have no hand in promoting the out-
rages which have shaken the country.

We stop the Press to announce the arrival of
our new Viceroy, the Marquis WELLESLEY.—
His Excellency arrived at Howth yesterday
evening, about six o'clock, and this day entered
the city through Summer-hill, Great Britain-
street, Sackville-street, and over Carlisle Bridge
to the Castle. The streets were lined with the
garrison, and the different Authorities assembled
at Summer-hill to meet his Excellency on his ar-
rival.—( The Antidote, Dec. 29.)

Recent letters from St. Petersburgh men-
tion the failure of several commercial houses ;
amongst others, that of Pou zo and Co. (Greeks)
who have long been distinguished for the great
trade they carried on in the rich shawls of Persia.
The importation of many articles was so great
this last summer into Petersburgh, that there was
an absolute want of warehouse-room ; the con-
sequence was, a special depot was obliged to be
provided near the Custom-house.----It is stated in
a letter from Embden, that Government have
sanctioned the erection of a Bank in East Fries-
land, and that the necessary funds are forth-
coming. This measure, there is no doubt, will
be pregnant with the greatest advantages to both
the landed and the commercial interests.

BRIGHTON, DEC. 30.—Divine Service to-day,
in the presence of the KiN6, Suite, and House-
hold, was performed at the Palaci4 by the Dean
of HEREFORD and Dr. HuGil PEARSON. A select
circle of Nobility will have the honour of being
entertained at the Palace to-morray.

THE LATE STORMS AND INUNDATIONS.—The
metropolis enjoyed yesterday the splendid no-
velty of a fine day. More exultation has rarely
been experienced at this season of the year,
from the view of a bright sky, than was inspir-
ed on this occasion, which charmed the eye
with the rainbow like promise that the world
should not again be overwhelmed with the accu-
mulating floods which for some weeks have worn
a threatening aspect to many of its inhabitants.
In some places where the tide has largely con-
tributed to the inundations which have taken place,
the waters have already begun to subside, and the
inhabitants of houses in the neighbourhood of the
Thames, are again able to leave their dwellings,
lor to remain in them, two things which for some
days they have been unable to do with any de-
gree of convenience. We have noticed the
dreadful state in which the inhabitants of Mil-
bank were placed. In Lambeth we have to state,
the evil has been scarcely less severely felt.—
Even at Kensington, the kitchens of many of the
most respectable houses have been rendered use-
less; numbers of them may be seen completely
closed, and where the gardens lay low, they have
been completely concealed from the view of their
proprietors for several days.
The Marquis of HERTFORD, we are concerned
to state, is seriously indisposed, at his seat, Sud-
bury Hall, in Suffolk. A few days back the
Earl of YARMOUTH was sent for express. Lord
ROBERT SEYMOUR is likewise in attendance.
The family would, as usual, be in town, were it
not for the severe indisposition of the Noble
Marquis. -
Mr. Jos. BAINBRIDGE, -3111 i., of Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, was in Trinity Term last duly ad-
mitted an Attorney in his Majesty's Courts of
King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exellequer, and
also a Solicitor in the High Court of Chancery.
On Friday last, the. Corporation of Newcastle
unanimously voted 100 guineas towards the new
building for the Literary and Philosophical So-
ciety of Newcastle.

On Friday last, the Northumberland and
Newcastle-upon-Tyne Volunteer Cavalry mus-
tered for inspection in Gosforth Park, prior to
the departure of their worthy Chief (Colonel
BRANDLING, M.P.) for London. After going
through some manoeuvres with their usual preci-
sion, the corps partook of those refreshments at
the hall which used formerly to be so distin-
guishing a feature in all great houses at this fes-
tive season ; and which we are proud to record
have never fallen into abeyance at the truly hos-
pitable mansion of Gosforth llouse.—ln a Gen-
tleman's garden at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, straw-
berries are in blossom at the present moment, A
pear-tree also is in the same condition:

- The Italian opera will open about the 12th of
January.

morning, from a visit to the Earl and Countess of Cowper, at
their seat Pensanger, Herts ; in the afternoon they set oil for
Brighton.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Winchester arrived last
week at Amport House, in Hampshire, from Weymouth, with
amended health.

The Earl and Countess of Arran are entertaining a distin-
guished party of friends at their seat, Arran Lodge, Sussex.

ROYAL COBOURG THEATRL.—We have al-
ready noticed the spectacle of a Glass Curtain at
this Theatre, as an extraordinary specimen of
mechanical skill. Last night we observed also
another specinion of the same kind in a new Glass
Cove, so that the visitors can gratify their vanity
in having a peep at themselves in various direc-
tions.—The house was crowded in all parts.
Miss STEPHENS, our vocal Syren, was in great
danger of shipwreck on her return from the Con-
tinent, in the Trafalgar packet, during one of the
tremendous storms of last week.

Mr. PRICE'S theatre, at New York, opened
with the most brilliant success on his return to
that city, with Mr. PIIILLIPPS and several other
performers. Mr. PHILLIPPS has lost nothing of
his popularity and attraction by his absence. lie
was hailed with joy on his return, and, after
clearing 1,000 dollars at his benefit there, he
proceeded to Boston.

- The citizens of New York propose to order a
play at the theatre-of that city, for the benefit of
Mr. WALLACK, previous to his return to New
York. Several Gentlemen have given so much
as ten dollars for a ticket. The house was ex-
pected to be very productive.

LawYEns.—According to the Asiatic Researches, a very
curious mode of trying the title of land is practised in Hin-
dostan :—Two holes are dug in the disputed spot, in each of
which the plaintiff and defendant's lawyers put one of their
legs, and remain there until one of them is tired, or complains
of being stung by the insects, in which case his client is de-
feated. In this country it is the Client and not the Lawyer,
who puts his foot into it.

Hiving occasion the other day to pass through one of tha
back streets of Brighton, the following very scholastic Notice in
one of the windows caught our eye :
" Daye School for Younge
44 Childring And Needle work
4‘ Dun Hear." Brighton Chronicle.
Amongst the variety of unseasonable produc-
tions of the garden, on Saturday last, in Covent-
Garden market, was fine young green mint.
A Gentleman residing at Carmarthen writes,
" Poultry here is too low; I purchased a couple
of fowls in this market, on Saturday last, for
sixpence ! "

AMERICAN SQUIRREL IfUNT.-A few days ago
forty armed men, in Vermont (Virginia), com-
menced an attack upon the squirrels, and in 48
hours killed and brought to head-quarters 4961
of those animals. The next day a mammoth hot
pie was made, and 275 persons partook of the
repast, and not more than half the pie was con-
sumed.—( From an American Paper of the 3d
December.)

This evening, if the weather prove fine,
between four and six o'clock, an interesting con-
junction of Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon, way
be seen without the aid of a glass.
