According to letters from the frontiers of Turkey of

habitants in case they raised the standard of revolt.

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

been held for the purpose of petitioning his Excellency,
Sir William Colbrooke, to dissolve that body.

QUARTER TO THRF,E.
The prospect of finer and more settled weat!iier has
already had its effect upon the Corn Market, 'us well as
upon the Funds, a further advance in 'wheat hav-
ing been checked, although Friday's prices are
maintained. The arrivals of foreign. Wheat con-
tinue large, and we may expect a good
deal more yet, as our accounts from tt,e Continent notice
a good deal of speculation as being still in. progress. The
official averages here will no doubt go up higher, new
wheat having been sold as high as 765. per quarter in
Mark-lane. Canada flour is likely to come in at the no-
minal duty of 6d. ner 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 gold.en•opinions by his
Administration.
