A Montreal Papers of the 30th November says—
" We understand that on Thursday evening there was
the city, for the purpose of taking into consideration
what steps ought to be pursued by them, and those
with one
under their command, in consequence of the Ewa ap-
officers of the volunteer battalions in
po.intments in the militia, We are glad to learn, that
and that but one opinion was entertained, which was,
exception, the utmost unanimity prevailed,
that the volunteers had been most grossly insulted. An
address will be transmitted to his Excellency the Go-
vernor General on the subject."
arrivals from New York,
The Quebec papers of the 27th Nov. state that Co.
Bourg and Toronto papers were received, but they do
not contain any political news.
To the present hour WO have no tidingslo any further
but it is expected that Monday
will be very productive of intelligence from the above
quarter.
Both the fonds and commercial affairs continue in
the same inactive stateas in the early part of the day,
and to which may be added the bad state of the wea-
ther,onsols 4t, which damps all speculative concerns.
