L TEST NEWS FROM AMERICA.

-
By the arrival yesterday at Liverpool of the Hibernia, 1
1 Captain Cobb. and the George Washington, Captain
laur:owe, Lem New York, we have received New York
Papera of the 7th, and Canada Papers of the 4th, both in-
clusive. The Message of the Governor of Pennsylvani?,
necnimending the Legislature to extend the period for the
seep- nsiou of cash payments, was loudly applauded by the
teinkers, and as loudly condemned by the populace. We
are, howe.,;er, persuaded that Governor Porter could not,
wader existing circumstances, have adopted a wiser course,
111,; only as regards the bankers themselves, but so far as
,
' telneerris the interests of the creditors of the banks, both
1 eenseetie and foreign. Care should be taken in the mean
i t ml that the banks be not siffered to abuse the breathing
time allowed them, by a renewal of the old system of corn-
I mere'al gambling. This would only plunge them and the
-_-.ountry tete a still deeper abyss of ruin.
! roe New York Evening Star affirms that the British
.".3overnenent has authorized the authorities of New Bruns-
, v4iek, Nova Scotia, and Upper and Lower Canada, to
lace the entire boundary line in a strong state of defence.
For this purpose barracks were in the course of erection,
fertressea litre in progress of repair, and two steam-
, frig attic wde about to be built at Chippewa. The
wrier expresses his conviction that the Government
at. Washington is not inattentive to these movements,
and that a corresponding degree of activity is to be
expected on the part of the States, from the decisils
tune of Secretary Forsyth's correspondence. We are in-
clined to believe the statement in the Star to be either
0 erifnLi.'led, or greatly exaggerated ; but, at the same time,
; we 44:e net indifferent to the grounds existing for an ap-
p,i:e's.,,a3ier. of a rupture between Great Britain and the
I.;:ated States. We sincerely trust that the peaceable
; removal cf these grounds occupies the joint efforts of the
Cabinets of London and Washington.
The papers from Canada contain very little news of any
zoment. The British and Irish inhabitants of Quebec are
powerfully exerting themselves to promote the views of
the Governor-General for the early union of the two pro-
fviaces. The French Canadians, on the contrary, were
I riving el they could to render that measure abortive. The
Ir,cpu\larity of the Governor-General continued to increase
bstia it, the Provincial Parliament and among the people.
To aa address from the two Houses at Toronto, request-
r• kw him to transmit the Clergy Reserves-land Sale Bill to
ttre I.looerament here, his Excellency returned the follow-

' ir. g Omar :
. lion. Gentlemen, and Gentlemen,
~ t vri'l transmit the Bill for the Sale of tho Clergy Reserves,
I. ga cur tho distribution of the proceeds thereof, together with
,sour joint address, as required by law, without any delay, to her
s,ajesty's Principal Secretary of State.
f " Accept my warmest acknowledgments for the ready atten-
1, tion yen ha•se given to this important subject, to which it was
my duty to invite your consideration.
" I •:%,.;gl-Jtulate you most sincerely upon having thus termi-
TralrA, so far as depends on your exertions, the agitation of a
qxastien which has now for nearly twenty years been the fruit-
ful sarzrtre of disagreement in the Legislature, and of strife and
i =AV:el:tit-Ai among the people of this province.
" May the great Author of all Peace prosper your work, and
t in tle9 restoration of tranquillity to the country, and the exten-
t, eio2 of the blessings of religious instruction amongst the people,
may ;ran reap the reward of your labour."

The transactions in stocks to day, both at' the first and se-
d. 'lauds,
con were to a considerable extent, and at an advance

; . There was no heavy transactions in foreign exchange for the
i yae:si:t, and not many first-rate hills offering. The sales were

Iglantl-street has been filled with rumours for a couple of days
; relat;en to difficulties which have occurred in the Man-
' ;aattan Balk and they are now so general that it would be fas-
t tiliwas in fb, extreme not to allude to them. We believe the
• 't-ipAl;!• of the matter is this, that the cashier of the institution
arl:ar.ct money on the hypothecation of a large amount
of. sli,rcit ix lientucky Bank Stock, it is said ,5500,000, on

We ut.derstand that Mrs. Anderson and Mr. N.
t; Igil.l perform a duet upon the pianoforte and violin at
names Hall, on the 18th, the Anniversary Festival of
Covent Garden Fund. In addition we find the names of
etresz
muck of lir leading vocalists ; gallantry induces our particu-
larizing We ladies who have volunteered upon that cccasion.
Liadame Vestris, Miss Maria B. Hawes, Miss Lucombe, Miss
E. Cawse, Miss Rainforth, and Miss P. Horton. The list of
gWitlemen vocalists is unusually strong, so that a concert equal,
11 'nut superior, to any in London may be expected.
Mr. E. Solomons, Optician, Patentee of the
amber Spectacles, Inventor of the Improved Voice Conductors
fbr the relief of deafness, No. 36, Old Bond-street, and No. 1,
Old Jewry, City, considers it necessary to call particular atten •
taco to his Address, in consequence. of the mistakes arising
from a similarity of names, and the means thus afforded to
there who may wish to derive advantage thereby • as a proof of
which, he submits for public perusal the
Post following advertise, -

rnsrle-street,
M.D. The newly-invented spectacle. H. Ramsbotham,
lenses of the Messrs.
Solomons appear to lift the veil of indistinctness thrown over
the beauties of nature and the page of love, by dim or defective
1 eyesight, is an acquisition of no commouus,

sands who require them ! I have been

I tizne of nonsense never emanated from Dr, RamsbOtltiabe above
rn from
a Eernsal of the following advertisement, which a eased f
the same parties in the Post and Courier, Nov. 9, 1839 :_...„ from

t mresars. Solomons take the earliest opportunity to state that
lie name of Dr. F. H. Ramsbotham has been used in an
advertisement by mistake, and without authority." As fro
the scrupulous omission of initials or address to the latter re-
luctant advertisement, it might naturally be *tributed to the
above established houses, bearing the name of Mr. E. Solomons,
he therefore disclaims all knowledge of it, and is no way con.
aected with the parties who inserted it.
