LITERPOOL, Thursday.—This morning the Mon-
treal Stearn-ship Company's steam-ship Anglo-
Saxon, Captain A. M`Masters, arrived in the
Mersey. She left Quebec on the Gth inst. She
ha 3 brought 195 passengers ; all the passage she has
had to encounter easteny 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 .ilaYor of Quebec, Dr. Morrin, one of the
delegates to England on the seat of government
question.
The Balk of Montreal has declared a dividend of
8 per cent.
Ihe report of the committee of the whole house
as to the expediency of granting a rnill.on and a
half acres to aid the St. Maurice R ilway had been
adopted by the House of Assembly. It is men-
tioned that Mr. Spruce is appointed commissioner
of Crown lands, vice Mr. Cauchon.
Nati :e is given in the Canada Gazette, that the
Governor-Geueral 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, he placed in the list
of goods paying a duty of 2/. 10s. per cent. ad
valorem, and "iron knees," use] in t .e construe
tion of vesse's, now charged with a duty of 15 per
cent. ad valorem, be placed in the list of goods
paying a duty of 51., and rated ae•ordingly.
It had been expected that the Governor-General
would he a passenger in the Anglo-Saxon, but lie
had delayed his visit to England until after the
prorogation.
The endeavours of the Canadian Ministry, and
especially those of the Hon. Philip Vaukoughnet,
Minister of Agriculture, to attract English artisans
to Canada, are regarded with extreme disfavour
by a portion of the working classes of that cel•iny.
By the Toronto Weekly Message, of May 29, we
perceive that a meeting of carpenters and joiners
had been he'd 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-
stAf had been out of work for some time, and knew
many others who were iu 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 Gs. per day.
At the present enormous prices of provisions Gs would
barely enough support hitnselfand his family, without
clothes. Before the close of the meeting an address
to the carpe-uters and joiners of Great Britain was
adopted, advising theta 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
four months during the winter; thit the wages are
but a trifle in advance of what are paid in London ;
that provisions are fearfully dear :—flour, 8 dols.
per barrel ; 4lb loaf, 81d. ; meat, 81d. a pound ;
potatoe, 84. per bushel ; sugar, from 7d. to 10d.
per pound ; and all other necessaries 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 cled'enge a
denial ; but the general rates of wages are ss. and
Gs. a day.

A despatch from Weimar says the Cou. t leaves
the Chateau d'Estersb•:urg for Wilhelinsthel, near
Eisenach, where the Emperor of Ruisia is e,xpected
during his visit to Germany. The city of Eisenach
will this year recttive the memb-o's of the See y
called " Gustavus A tole hro," and the Protestants
regard the meeting with gre t 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 signed at Augsburg by about

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

* Silk.—Return to the House of Common; moved for
by Mr. Hadfield, June 4, 1857.

MARKET NEW S.— ( Tins. Day .)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to-day, coastwise, and by land carriage, the re-
ceipts of English wheat were very moderate, an 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 13,0J0 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 had a slow inquiry for malt at last week's prices.
Good sound oats changed hanls steadily, other kinds
slowly, at previous rates. Over 26,000 quarters of foreign
have come to hand. Beans and Peas sold at late rates.
Flour was steady ; and Norfolk qualities were held up to
48s 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 dull enquiry, and the quotations
were with difficulty supported. The general top pica was
4s. 81. 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 Diwn qualities went at Os. 6 I. p r 8 lbs., and the
supply was moderately extensive. There was a dull sale
for calves and pigs at barely Monday's currency. Mulch
cows were held at full prices.
