Bountiful rains had fallen throughout the istanant

The Papers received from St. John's, New Brunswick,
reach to the Ist, and from Halifax to the 4Lht but their
contents are unimportant.
The recent proceedings of the New Brunsi.s.
lature appear to be very generally dissappwick Le

been held for the purpose of petitioning his Excelesyy,
Sir William Coibrooke, to dissolve that body.
There has not been much business doing in the .hock

The prospect of finer and more settled weather hes
already had its effect upon the Corn Market, as well as
upon the Funds, a further advance in wheat hav•
ing been checked, although Friday's prices aro
maintained. The arrivals of foreign Wheat con..
tinue large, and we may expect a good!,
deal more yet, as our accounts from the Continent notice
a good deal of speculation as being still in progress. The
official averages here will no doubt go up higher, nor
wheat having been sold as high as 765. per quarter in
Mark-lane. Canada flour is likely to come in at the nor
minal duty of 6d.
per barrel.
In the opinion of well-informed parties in the City,
M`Leod's affair will be amicably settled yet, but there is
some anxiety about the Boundary Question. The expected
return of Lord Sydenham to this country to make room
for a Tory Governor of Canada, causes regret in many
quarters, as his Lordship has won golden opinions by 14:1
Administration.
