From Toronto we have ad vices to the 7th. In the
Legislative Assembly on the 6th Mr. Merritt moved an
address to the Queen, praying for the imposition on
American products imported into England of the same
rate of duty that other nations than tne United States
pay. The Finance Minister said, "We must depend on
ourselves; and, if we be driven to retaliate, the best plan
would be;to close our canals, conditionally, against Ame-
rican vessels." He proposed to compensate for the loss
of the canal tolls by taking measures to increase im-
mensely the trade of the St. Lawrence. Every member
who spoke, during a debate of several hours, was in
favour of some form of retaliation, some proposing dif-
ferential duties in favour of the St. Lawrence, others,
the abolition of Customs, &c. The debate was post-
poned for a fortnight, to await the result of the negotia-
tions with the American Government. -

THE AMERICAN MARKETS.

PHILADELPHE JUNE 10.

The very abort voyage made by the Pacific has bad a
favourab.e effect on the Cotton market, for as the Pa-
cific brought no intelligence of a further decline, the
market has been rendered ~omewh st steadier, though at
a low figure; and this st.aditiees has produced renewed
sales of about 1 000 bales p.r day. The fall in eight day a
had been altoge her about ce., and the prices now quoted
below are but barely sustained:—

Fully fair to goad fair 10 nominal. nominal.
I lie general Impre3sion prevailing is, that cuttoo is
now dawn to its minimum quotation, and the hope of
another slight advance renders holders pretty firm. The
entire sAlea last week in New York bier() about 8,000
bales.

quotations are sustained.

The most remarkable feature of the day is the very
large amount of exports of specie. Last week these ex-
ports exceeded two and a half millions of dollars from
New York alone, and it is probable that the outgoings
from other ports are a quarter of a million more.
Another failure has taken place in New York, that of
a stockbroker, caused, as usual, by over speculation in
mining, railroad, and other shares, and having no effect
upon, or relation with, the cotton or other commercial
markets.
