AMERICAN FLOUR FOR IHE QUEEN OF ENGLAND !
—Notw•ithstundieg that the flour and other bread stuffs
sent to England are of the purest quality, nevertheless
we learn from the Batavia Times, that Mr. Henry
Smith, on enterprising miller of that county, sent six
barrels of the choicest superfine Genesee flour, manufac-
tured at his mill in Wheatland, Monroe Co., to Queen
Victoria. and for which, in due time, he received from her
Majesty the comfortable little sum of 13,000. The flour
was put up in highly finished barrels, neatly varnished,
enclosed in sacks, and forwarded direct to the Queen at
London. The fortunate experiment upon the appetite
f royalty seems to have suited her Majesty's palate so
nicely, that in addition to the ample remuneration for his
first adventure, he has recently received an order direct
from London, for three thousand barrels more "of the
same sort," which he has promptly forwarded. We ap-
prehend that the article sent to her Majesty was more
carefully selected and fashionably put up than the thou-
sands of barrels sent down to the sea-coast, and the
Queen prefers it for short cakes or rout cakes; but gene-
rally speaking, our wheat and corn flour, our rye and
buckwheat meal, are beyond doubt the cleanest and
purest product of any country, and the fine brands may
be purchased with great confidence by any and ail
classes of consumers abroad.--New York American Sun,
Nov. 30.

THE LARGEST MERCHANT VESSEL IN THE WORLD
—The people of Liverpool have now an opportunity of
seeing the fine new packet-ship New World, which is
supposed to be the largest merchant-vessel in the
This magnificent ship arrived in the river onThursday,
on her first trip across the Atlantic. She is under the
command of Captain W. Skiddy, and is intended to take
her station as one of the packet-ships between this port
and New York. She is ISB feet long between perpen-
diculars, 196 feet from the stem to the taffrail, 42 feet
extreme breadth of beam, 28 feet deep, and is 1,818
15 95th tons, carpenter's measurement, or 1,511 31-95ths
Government measurement. It is estimated that she will
show 5,000 bales of cotton, or 3,000 tons of measurement
goods. She has three decks, the same as a frigate, the
upper one being as substantial, in proportion, as either
of the others. A full figure of Columbus ornaments
the bow, and an arch of carved work, relieved with gild-
ing, her stern. The after-cabin is 27 feet by 14 feet,
and contains six state rooms, each 9 feet by 10 feet
square.—Liverpool Albion.
ST. JOHN'S, NEW BRUNSWICK.—A private letter
from St. John's, New Brunswick, dated 26th ult., says:
—" We last night had a dreadful storm, ships blown
ashore, chimneys falling, walls and houses blown down,
the steam ferry-boat disabled, and the ferry rendered
impassable. The mail driver . from St. Andrews, 67
miles distant, says that they had to cut away nearly 110
windfalls. The mail drivers in windy weather generally
carry axes with them.

THE CORPORATION CONFLICT.
1 The members of the Court of Common Connell, who
I formed themselves, oa Thursday, into a committee, after
the departure of the Lord Mayor, without putting the
question as to the passing of the Members' Qualification
Bill, assembled on Saturday to receive the report of the
sub-committee, Walter Anderson Peacock, Esq., in the
chair. The following resolutions were then, after some
discussion as to slight verbal alterations, agreed to amidst
cheers :
" Resolved,—That the Court of Common Council, con-
sisting of the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, and anumber
of commoners annually chosen by the'freemen inhabitant
householders of this city, bare for ages possessed and
exercised the right to originate and pass such acts and
ordinances as have become necessary, from time to time,
for advancing the welfare of the citizens, and improving
its municipal institutions in unison with the spirit of
the age.
"Resolved—That in furtherance of a design to defeat
the exercise of this right, the Court of Aldermen, on
Thursday, the I7th instant, presented a protest against
the passing of an Act for regulating the qualification of
members of the Common Council ; and, although the
Lord Mayor and Aldermen had at former courts con-
curred in the orders for the preparation of the Bill, and,
in its being read a first and second time, when the third
reading of the Bill was moved and seconded, the Lord
Mayor refused to put the question to the court, and the
Aldermen, after a long discussion, with one exception,
quitted the court, which was thereby dissolved.
"Resolved—That we the members of the Court of
Common Council, have reason to believe that it is the
determination of the Mayor and Aldermen to dispute
the right of the corporation in Court of Common Coun-
cil assembled to pass the Bill now before the Court,
mainly because they are aware that a Committee of the
Common Council have, since the introduction of the
present Bill, prepared another, to limit the Court of
Aldermen in the expenditure of the public money.
" Resolved—That e, the members of the Common
Council, then protested, and now protest, against
the proceedings of the said Mayor and Aldermen ;
and, on behalf of the citizens of London, resolve to in-
sist upon their right, through their representatives, to
control the outlay of their funds, that we may insure
their application to public and useful purposes ; and we
resolve, and hereby pledge ourselves, to adopt and en-.
force all such lawful, just, and reasonable measures as
-than preserve to the citizens of London the right to alter
their municipal institutions, to meet the increasing com-
merce of the city, and in conformity with the intelli-
gence and wants of the times."
The thanks were unanimously voted to the chairman,
and the committee separated.
