NEWFOUNDLAND.— We learn from papers received by the
Charles Buchan, that the principal part of the sealers had
sailed, and that their prospects were very favourable. A severe
gale was experienced on the 15th ult., which did considerable
damage.
The Britannia royal steamer arrived at Boston on the morn-
ing of the 22d inst., in 40 hours from Halifax, and 17 days
from Liverpool. Over 20,000 letters and 40 bushels of news-
papers were received by her at the Boston Post-office.
(From the Montreal Herald.)
THE PRESENT ASPECT OF AFFAIRS BETWEEN GREAT
BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES. —lt is satisfactory to
learn that our Government are preparing for the worst, and
display unusual activity in all the departments connected with
the military and naval affairs. Besides the steam frigates of a
large class now building in this city and Kingston, two addi-
tional ones will be placed on the stocks at the current of St.
Mary.
CANADIAN MILITARY FORCE.—There are 20,000 regulars
in the two provinces. In addition each regiment of Militia is
required to have two flank companies in constant readiness: as
there are 113 regiments in the Upper Province this will give
16,000 men. A force of 36,000 men can be called into the
field at a moment's notice.

Sir George Arthur, it appears, does not return to England,
he Has been appointed by the Governor-in-Chief, Deputy-
Governor of that part of the province of Canada, heretofore
constituting the province of Upper Canada.
We learn, by the Lockport Courier, that a meeting has been
held there respecting the alleged insecurity of the county gaol,
for the safe keeping of Rl'Leod ; it seems that all precautions
are and have been taken of late to ensure his safety. The
Sheriff, one of his deputies, the gaoler, and two other persons,
hired fur that purpose, keep watch by turns every night to give
the alarm in case of an attack from without, or attempt to
escape within.
