COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

We have been favoured with a comparative statement of the
commerce of Montreal for these last two years, which shows a
most gratifying increase in the trade of 1832 over that of 1831,
stating—
In 1831, 80 vessels, amount 4,4921. 19s. 3d.
In 18.32, 117 vessels, amount 10,5491. 18s. 2d.

Substance of a speech made by Mr. Debartzch to the Legisla-
tive Council on the 23d of January He observed, " that he
hoped the Legislative Council would be entirely abolished, and
the Legislature be composed of a Governor and the Assembly.
" That then the interests of the people would be effectually
protected, and not before. The House of Assembly would
then make known the wants of the people in the Bill% and if
the Governor should reject them he would be removed." The
speech of Mr. Debartzch appeared equally to surprise and dis-
gust most of the Hon. Members.

Letters from Antwerp, by the French mail this morning,
state that vessels coming to the above port do not experience
any other obstacles then being accompanied up to Lillo by a
Dutch gunboat. Two vessels have arrived at Antwerp, one
of them from the port of London.

On Wednesday last Messrs. Foster and Darling were com-
missioned by his Excellency to count the cash at the Treasury,
when it became evident that there was a deficiency to a large
extent.

The Launceston papers are void of interest.
A Brazil Mail has arrived. Exchange on London 32 to 33 ;
Stocks 47 to 48. We do not hear any political news of conic.
quence by the above conveyance.

THE FUNDS.
What we stated in our City article, last week, respecting the
settlement of the affairs between the Porte and the Paella of
Egypt, is confirmed by the foreign papers received this day.
The estafette from Paris brings the French funds rather
lower. The information from Belgium and Holland leaves us
still in the dark in respect to the Dutch question.
As yet we have iso arrivals from Portugal.

Consols may be quoted at the same price they left off on
Saturday, 87f for the Account, with little or nothing doing Illk

HIALF•PAST ONE.

The information from the Brazils this morning, by the mail,
is of a very favourable nature. The dividends had been paid
there, and their stock had got up near Three per Cent., to 48 3'
ex-dividend. Ail was tranquil, and the country in a prospe-
rous state. At the meeting of the Assembly, which was soon to
take place, they were going to propose the calling in of the
copper money.

We hear that 300,0001. has already been sent from Paris to
Don Miguel, in advance of the loan.
The Dutch steamer has not as yet arrived, but it is expected
hourly. It is not expected to bring any news of importance.
Consols are better than in the early part of the morning,
and may be quoted 871 for the Account, with little doing.
In the Foreign market Dutch Stock may be quoted a shade
better, 45;4.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 2.—THE ERIN
STEAMER —We understand that accounts were received
last evening by Mr. Moaars, the agent, of the safety
of the Erin steamer, which has arrived at Milford, with
her engines damaged, in the tremendous gales of last week,
but all her passengers and crew safe. —Devonport Tele-
graph.
There has been a great deal of sympathy
shown of late for the poor ; some are for providing
them with play-grounds, others are standing up for
their footpaths. Instead of plotting play-grounds for
those who are too sad to sport, or preserving by-paths
for those who are almost too weary to go any way
but one—the cut across to the churchyard—take
off taxes, relieve labour from its burdens ; let us contrive
to make the poor man's home happier, his food more
plentiful, his family better clothed and better taught ; he
will then himself soon find a nice play-ground for his
little on s ; and he himself, provided his shoes be good, will
hardly care much if he is obliged to trudge by the road
rather than the field-path.—Nero Monthly Magazine.
