We have received Montreal papers to the 16th
August. His Excellency the Governor-General, ac-
companied by Mr. Murdoch, Chief Secretary, arrived
at Melbourne on Monday evening. A deputation
waited on his Excellency with an address, to which
his Excellency was pleased to reply as follows :
" Gentlemen, I beg you to accept my thanks for your
address. I rejoice in the opportunity which has been
afforded me of visiting this most interesting part of the
province of Lower Canada, and it is gratifying to me
to be able personally to assure you that I fully appre-
ciate the loyalty and good conduct by which its inha-
bitants arc distinguished. Since my assumption of the
Government of the province, my attention has been par-
ticularly directed to this portion of it. It is my anxious
desire to assist in the development of its resources, and
to promote the welfare of its inhabitants ; and you may
confidently rely upon my best exertions for these
objects."
MONTREAL MARKET, AUG. 14. Flour.—The
news by the Great Western has been of a very cheer-
ing nature for the exporters of Flour, and prices have
advanced from Is. 3d. to '2s. per barrel. We do not
think, under present circumstances, that there will be
an advance, as the appeal once of the crops in England
is considered a very fair average ; and in the wheat-
growing districts in Upper Canada favourable hopes
are entertained of an abundant harvest.
