The citizens of Quebec have agreed to present the
following address to Sir Charles Bagot on his arrival
from Halifax :

, " We the Clergy, Magistrates, and citizens of Quebec
and its vicinity, most respectfully congratulate your
Excellency on your arrival in this part of the Govern-
ment assigned to you by our Sovereign.
" Your Excellency's experience, acquired in the long
! and successful discharge of the high and important trust
of representing the Royal authority and watching over
the interests of the Empire in different parts of the
world, in positions requiring the exercise of the soundest
judgment and discretion, are to us additional grounds
of that confidence which is due to the Royal prerogative,
under which you have been appointed to the general
Government of these important possessions of the Crown.
" We beg leave to assure your Excellency that it is
our anxious d'-sire that your residence in this country
may be agreeable to yourself personally, and that your
administration of the Government may be prosperous
and happy, reconciling the interests of the Empire, with
those of the colonies, and securing among the inhabitants
of both that reciprocity of affection and confidence which
, form the surest bond of their connection.

TEXAS—RENEWED INVASION.
The Austin Centinel of Sept. 30, contains an account of
a Mexican invasion, or rather foray, committed in Refu-
gio county, on the night of Sept. 18. The invading par-
ties consisted of about fifty Mexicans; the name of their
commander was not ascertained. They made a sudden
descent upon the town and took possession of it, helping
themselves to every thing they could lay their hands on,
and carrying off eight prisoners, amongst whom were the
District Clerk, the late Sheriff, and a Justice of the
Peace. Henry Viol, one of the captives, made a despe-
rate resistance, killing one of the Mexicans and wound-
ing two others, before he was overpowered. It is be-
lieved that he was afterwards killed. The Centinel says
about $5OO in silver was taken from a window, and also
$2,000 worth of dry goods, household and kitchen fur-
niture, &c. Chief Justice Neill and two other men made
their escape to a neighbauring wood, and next morning
returned to see the desolation of the town. It wore a
frightful appearance ; women and children were in
great distress, having lost every thing moveable ; and
their husbands and fathers abducted and carried away
into foreiz” captivity.
FIRE AT CHITTENANGO.—A few days since a great
portion of the village of Chittenango, Madison co., was
destroyed by fire. The property was insured.
BROKE JAlL.—Charles Moore and Tom Smith, two
finished villains, effected their escape from the Buffalo
jail on the night of the 2d inst., by striking down the
keeper just as he opened the door for the purpose of
•letting them have some water which they had solicited.
They also robbed the jailer of what money he had
about him.
It is now said that the " shower of blood" was nothing
more than putrified beef's liver placed on the leaves of
plants, by some negroes, for the purpose of humbugging
their master, who had become very religious.
STEAMBOATS SUNK. The Znyr,
bound up the river, from Newep, and the Vienna,
Orleans, are reported
snagged and sunk. It is illought the latter may be
raised, but there is no hope of the Zephyr.
