' from the neighbouring Banks may be said to be
suspended—for, if notes are issued they are
certain to comb in on the same day—perhaps
in half an hour. Notwithstanding the numerous
large properties of manufacturers in this neigh-
bourhood, it is supposed that not more than 7 or
8 will be able to find means for paying wages next
Saturday ! There is, in fact, no adequate circu-
lating medium-in which they can be paid, for,
with ample property in good bills—neither notes,
nor gold can he procured. Some of the principal
shopkeepers afford great relief, by giving goods for
bit ls on London, but for which, the transactions of
society here must be at a stand. In Lancashire the
printing works are all reducing work ; some are
coming to a stand still : the spinners too, gene-
rally, are reducing the number of their hands,
particularly in Preston and the neighbourhood.
Mr. Bo anocits is the only person in that
part who keeps his hands hi full work. His con-
chid in this trying time, is deservedly the theme
of praise throughout the Country. Although
the failure of Messrs. /Ltuitors' Bank has
been followed by such lamentable consequences,
—the universal feeling towards all the partners
is that of unfeigned respect. 'That Mr. Matto'',
senior, after a long and irreproachable life, should
be thus involved in misfortune, is universally
regretted ; as indeed are also the misfortunes of
Mr. BROWN and Mr. lIAIMOP, jun. Every one
here is at a loss to cenjecture in what manner our
difficulties are to be filially got through. Unless
relief be afforded by the return of confidence,
there must be a general crash in this part of the
country."

The New York Commercial Advertiser was
received this morning at the North and Smith
American Coffee-house, and contains some
remarks on the recent violent debates in the
Parliament of Upper Canada. The grand
source of debate is the degree of encourage-
ment that ought to be given to Citizens
of the United States, to emigrate from their
country and become domiciled in the British
territories, and the management of the Provincial
Post Office. The Canadian Government, it ap-
pears, is decidedly opposed to the first of these
questions, which is advocated by a Mr. FOTIICa•
GILL, Editor of the York IK.ekly Register, and
a Mr. 131AwELL, who in general succeed in carry-
ing their measure, In spite of the strenuous exer-
tions of the ATTOIL y-G EN ERAL and Mr. JONAS
JONES. On the subject of the Post Office the
charge against the Colonial Government is indeed
somewhat strange. It is no less than an asser-
tion that this branch of the Revenue is so pro-
ductive, as not only
to defray the expense of the
establishment, but that 15,0001.
is annually sent
to
England, from its funds. If this assertion
were true, we must, we think, have heard of it
in this country before now, for that an American
Colony should support itself and afford a
surplus, is an event in the History of England
that many would rejoice to hear, besides being
a fact, far too interesting to escape public obser-
vation. In the end the Alien question was
carried by the A
.csnti•Government party—the
House of Assembly agreeing to an Address to the
KING. This triumph has been followed by Mr.
FOTHERGILLIS discharge from his office of Printer
for the Province.
