NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION.

The Council are happy to state, that they have been
enabled to open a reading•room for the members of the
Union, which although not yet very extensively furnished
With newspapers, they hope will be sufficiently well sup-
ported by the friends of the working classes to become
soon a most useful insitution;—the Council also have it
in contemplation, as soon as their funds will permit, to
publish cheap tracts on Government and morals, and to
make arrangements for the delivery of lectures on the
same subjects; and to this end they invite all who desire
to see such information diffused to make donations of
money and books; and the proprietors of country news-
papers are particularly requested to send copies of their
journals to the Union.

The Council beg to acknowledge, with thanks, the fol-
lowing donations in furtherance of the objects almve
mentioned : _

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Quebec Papers to the 14th of December, and Montrea
Papers to the 16th, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house.

(From the Quebec Papers.)
The scheme which Colonel Elliott hasbrought forward
in the Assembly of Upper Canada, for annexing Montreal
to that province, appears to be highly popular with all
classes there. The only point of difference is whether it
would not be better to ask for the Isle of Jesus, rather
thin for the city of Montreal.
The Hudson, for a considerable distance below Albany,
was covered with ice, the steam-boat got up, although
with difficulty.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, UPPER CANADA.

The address to his Excellency, in reply to his speech
from the throne, was read a third time and passed, but a
considerable discussion took place upon the late Act of the
Imperial Parliament, in regard to free trade. The address
was adopted by a majority of 13.
(From the Montreal Papers.)
The Kingstown Chronicle says that it is reported that
Mr. M'Kenzie, the editor of the Christian Advocate, has
been expelled the Upper Canada Assembly by a majority
of fourteen.

Letters of the 9th have been received from the Hudson
Bay Company, from the Red River settlement, with favour-
able accounts of that colony ; the last crops had been
abundant, and the people comfortable.

cabin passengers, and 195 emigrants. The Queenstown

From the American Papers received this morning :
NAVY DEPA RTMENT. —Extra CE of a letter from Mister
Commandant Kennon, commanding the United States
sloop of war, Vandelour, to the Secretary of the Navy,
dated Lynn, Haven Bay, December 14.
" The whole of Brazil is in a state of tumult, and con-
tinual eruptions, &c. may be expected to occur, particu•
larly among the soldiers, who are no doubt instigated by
persons of higher rank. This is made more apparent by
the circumstances of their never molesting the foreigners
who reside in the country, or indeed any one except the
old Portuguese, as they are termed, they being particularly
obnoxious to the Brazilians, whose aim is to drive them
from the country."
Accounts from Vienna state that the son of Napoleon is
on the eve of marriage to the daughter of the Archduke
Charles.

THZ FUNDS.

count, opened at 84 at present they are down to

Belgian Scrip par to + pm.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The Funds, which were looking up in the early part of
the morning, have since receded one-half per cent. Con-
sols have been fluctuating during the morning from 84
down to 84i to I for the account, at present they are 84
buyers. The heaviness of the market is first attributed
to certain persons realizing their profits ; second, to the
local state of the country, and particular the great distress
at Macclesfield in the silk trade ; also the meeting of
Parliament, with the expected struggle on the Reform
Bill in the House of Lords. In regard to foreign political
events we have none at present, The only information
we have is from Berlin, which states that Russia has made
a treaty witk the Porte ; if this is true, it will greatly ope-
rate against the Pacha of Egypt.
In the Foreign Market little doing, except in Belgian
Scrip, discount.
Letters from Pernambuco, of the 3d of December, say
that all was tranquil.

STATE OP TRADE AT OLDHAM.—The
fustian, check, and silk weaving branches of trade are im-
proving here, as respects the quantity of work given out,
with a trifling advance for some descriptions of fustian;
those weavers who were lately destitute of work are now
pretty generally employed, and their wretched condition is
in some degree alleviated,—Manchester Guardian.
