STOCK EXCHANGE DISPUTE.

The attention of many of the members bt the Stock
Exchange has been nnre particularly dir';',cted to-day to the
fate of one of its members than to business. Several of
our, readers are well aware that the question d the legality
of the transactions which have been carried on for ittity
months 'Past4 in the Shares of the Canada ColoVany, has
been eor.sldered one of extreme tliffieultys and as business
to an immense amount has been done in them, it has be-
cone a matter of great interest to the variour parties eon-
terned. A Mr. John Williams, who i one of the most
respectable Members of the English and Foreign House,
has felt himself particulatly aggrieved. at the titYligioll the
Committee have given, he being the iniBre man, as it is
,termed, and concerned for an 'immense amount. It is
stated that he has lately, iVi consequence, indulged in com-
ments upon the gentlemen of the Committee, which they
have called upon him to retract. This, we understand, he
refuses to do; and urges, that it is presumptuous in them
to determir,e a ease; upon the legality of which some of
our first. Counsel, at the present moment, are divided in opi-
niop. In consequence of the comments and abuse (as it is
stated) which have been made use of towards the Com-
mittee, they, to-day, met, to determine upon the pro-
priety of expelling Mr. Williams from the house, unless he
retracted the obnoxious words uttered ; this, we under-
stand he refuses to do, and the attention of the whole
house is directed to the steps which the Committee may
deem it proper to adopt. To-morrow is the day fixed upon
by them to confirm what decision they may to-day come to.
The house is decidedly in favour of Mr. Williams; and it
becomes a matter of question, if the Committee have the
right to ,put into execution the sentence which, it is stated,
they mean to inflict, should Mr. Williams refuse to retract
his comments.

".,'L,ock Ex-
fly one of the clauses in the laws of the
change, the Committee are empowered te, expel any,
Member for improper and disgraceful con':!niet, or disobey-
ing the rules or regulations of the hovjje ;" this the mem-
bers in favour of Mr. Williams afthin does not apply to
the utterance of words, but t; 4 improper and disgrtiteN
transactions in the way of 'ousiness,' and do not at all feel
disposed to submit to Itic expulsion of a Member, who is
much esteenwd, for. an offence which they state tines not
come within the regulations—when only a few 'weeks have
passed over, that a Member, who infringta the rules to
the vary idler, was suffered to escape with only a slight
reprintud, when, as they state for the credit of the house,
expulsion should have been the Ptini2litrient inflicted.
Thus the affair stands at pre:.' cut, and to-morrow will
decide if the Committee win., pass the threatened sentence
against the sense of t%enly the whole house.—llforning

INSURRECTION AT
.CAMETA.

'The Celts:ll4 alh- ith en'se of July I, printed at Maran-
hem, contains an account Of an 'insurrection at Cameta, a
city Of Pare, titw the night of the 22d. of April. The sleep-
ing initahitants were rooked by the shouts of their assail-
ants, the noise of inusketry, and .the blows of axes demo-
lishing the gates. 17he ,journalist proceeds thus :
'‘ 'Are *eta word was the same as usual. It was the
tiante, which, to the scandal of human nature, and to he
injury of the most sacred rights, has so 'often reantinded in
our ears. ' Death to the rahliiers who have come to rob
us o)( ti n% wliich is our own.—Long live the Emperor!',
flherilegious wretches, shut your accursed mouths; re-
spect that august name. DQ 1104 ccolifOunq the sacred)
with the most profane, vile, led, and tteerabie 1 ;11 line,
with yourselves and your wor 8.,, is the taigiiiit titiPeriii,
peradventure, a thief of iisiaitii* that ybit should seri-
)effiuously invoke hit% NAM ynn tear not the hearts of his
su Nits, who are his sons, since he shows himself their
father by the care which he bestows upon them ?
" All that the imagination can figure, Most horrible and
most cruel, will fall much short of what these monsters
perpetrated upon the victims of their cowardly ferocity.—
Torn from the asylum of their home, without arms or
means of defence, some were east into prison, others
dragged through the streets to the public squares, where
they arrived half dead, and with their limbs broken ; and
after they had breathed their last, still the assassins conti-
nued to stab them and cut off their limbs, and discharge
their muskets into them. Those who were thrown into
prison, were afterwards torn to pieces in the same mermen.
Two slaves, in spite. of the horror spread around them by
these dreadful events, went to gather together the scatter-
ed pieces of their master's dead body, in order to give them
burial. These two slaves were shot by the monsters, by
the'furit's of this revolt: We give the list of the Euro-
Pit'an Brazilians, who fell a sacrifice in this insurrection.—
There was no respect to rank, station, nor age • for do-
tage itself was sacrificed to the spirit of rapine Of the in-
surgents.

" Here follows a list of 31 European Brazilians.
" Some native Brazilians also perished, for no other
reattin than that they were good men, friends of peace,
order, and possessed of fortune.
" Such were the horrors of the insurrection of Cameta.
The story will refresh some sails, filled to the last degree
with depravity ; but it will stick daggers in thousands of
others.

Another and later paper, viz. August sth, contains
orders of the Governor of Para to a Major, commandant
of a battalion, to pursue the guilty, so that not one should
escape. A paper still later, contains an account of the
defeat on the sth of May,of Major Ladislao, with the loss
of four pieces of cannon, eighty muskets, and more than
fifty killed, wounded, and prisoners. The criminals
(facinorosas) are said to be 400 or 600 in number, and to
be commanded by one Barboza.
