LIVERPOOL, Thursday.—This morning the Mon-
treal team-ship Company's steam-ship Anglo-
Saxon, Captain A. M`Masters, arrived in the
Mersey. She left Quebec on the 6th inst. She
has brought 195 passengers ; all the passage she has
had to encounter easterly winds. Passed the
Canadian (belonging to the same company) ashore
on the Pillars Rock. She was expected to float off
the next tide.

Among the passengers by the Anglo-Saxon is
the Mayor of Quebec, Dr. Morrin, one of the
delegates to England on the seat of government
question.
The Bank of Montreal has declareda dividend of
8 per cent.
The report of the committee of the whole house
as to the expediency of granting a million and a
half acres to aid the St. Maurice Riilway had been
adopted by the House of Assembly. It is men-
tioned that Mr. Sptuce is appointed commissioner
of Crown lands, vice Mr. Caucbon.
Nati ;e is given in the Canada Gazette, that the
Governor-General in Council has been pleased to
order and direct that "ground flint railroad fish-
plates and railroad chairs," now charged with a duty
of 15 per cent, ad valorem, be placed in the list
of goods paying a duty of 2/. 10s. per cent. ad
valorem, and "iron knees," used in the construc-
tion of vessels, now charged with a duty of 15 per
cent. ad valorem, be placed in the list of goods
paying a duty of 5/., and rated accordingly.
It had been expected that the Governor-General
would be a passenger in the Anglo-Saxon, but be
had delayed his visit to England until after the
prorogation.
The endeavours of the Canadian Ministry, and
especially those of the Hon. Philip Vankoughnet,
Minister of Agriculture, to attract English artisans
to Canada, are regarded with extreme disfavour
by a portion of the working classes of that colony.
By the Toronto Weekly Message, of May 29, we
perceive that a meeting of carpenters and joiners
had been held in that town on the previous Satur-
day evening, to counteract the minister's efforts.
Mr. T. S. Brown, who took the chair, affirmed that
it was -emigrants with money to spend, and not
workmen, who were wanted. He denounced Mr.
Vankoughnet's statements as wicked snares. Mr.
J. B. Hurley, who moved the first resolution, also
stigmatised the same allegations as untrue—rents
were high, provisions dear, and work difficult to
obtain. A Mr. Billing said he had resided in To-
ronto nine years, and he thought that for emigrants
to come out in large bodies at the present time
would prove a most unwise proceeding, as he him-
self had been out of work for some time, and knew
many others who were in the same condition. A
carpenter, named Eldridge, said he arrived in To-
ronto on the 9th of November list, and was un-
able to obtain any employment whatever until the
18th of that month. He was for six months unem-
ployed, and had then obtained work at 6s. per day.
At the present enormous prices of pro visio us Os would
barely enough support himselfan d his family, with out
clothes. Before the close of the meeting an address
to the carpenters and joiners of Great Britain was
adopted, advising them to refrain from emigrating
to Canada, at lea-t for a year, and setting forth
that " There is not sufficient employment for the
present mechanics ; numbers can be found who
have been idle for some time ; some have lately
obtained work who were out of work from three to
feur months during the winter ; that the wages are
but a trifle in advance of what are paid in London ;
that provisions are fearfully dear :—flour, 8i dols.
per barrel ; 41b loaf, 81d. ; meat, Bd. a pound ;
potatoe4, Bs. per bushel ; sugar, from 7d. to 10d.
per pound ; and all other necessari, s equally as
dear. Rent a hundred per cent. more than in the
old country. Wages, in a few good shops, where
the masters are worthy the name of men, are 7s. ;
that is the very highest paid, and we chalenge a
denial ; but the general rates of wages are ss. and
6s. a day.

A despatch from Weimar says the Cow t leaves
the Chateau d'Estersbourg for Wilhelmsthel, near
Eisenach, where the Emperor of Russia is expected
during his visit to Germany. The city of Eisenach
will this year receive the members of the Socie y
called " Gustavus Adolphus," and the Protestants
regard the meeting with great interest, as many
active measures are to be suggested.

A Protestant movement is making considerable
progress in Bavaria. An address to the King of
Bavaria has been piped at Augsburg by about

Public sales of silk took place yesterday, and thare was
a good attendance of buyere, but the biddings were lan-
guid throughout, except for some damaged lots. Accord-
ing to a circular from Mr. H. W. Elton, the operations
in silk generally, whether by private contract or other-
wise, have been more limited than usual.

lARKET NEWS.—( Fins Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to-day, coastwise, and by land carriage, the re-
ceipts of English wheat were very moderate, and the show
of samples was small. Compared with Monday. the de-
mand for all kinds was far less active; nevertheless, that
day's improvement in value was imported.
Nearly 13,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come in,
and as there was scarcely any export inquiry, the trade
for that article was rather slow, at Monday's prices.
Floating cargoes were held at extreme rates.
Barley commanded very little attention ; prices, how-
ever, were supported.
We bad a slow inquiry for malt at last week's prices.
Good sound oats changed hands steadily, other kinds
slowly, at previous rates. Over 26,000 quarters of foreign
have come to hand. Beans and Peas sold et late rates.
Flour was steady ; and Norfolk qualities were held up to
18s per 280 lbs.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The show of beasts in to-day's market was by no means
extensive, and mostly composed of those left over from
Monday. All breeds met a null enquiry, and the quotations
were with difficulty supported. The general top pica was
4s. sa. per 8 lbs. We were fairly supplied with sheep,
which moved off Slowly at barely late rates, in some in-
stances prices were the turn in favour of buyers. For
lambs the enquiry ruled heavy at 2,1. per 8 lbs. less money.
The best D,,wn qualities went at Gs. 6d. p r 8 an•l the
supply was moderately extensive. Thera was a dull sale
for calves and pigs at barely Monday's currency. Mulch
cows were held at full prices.
