QUEBEC, N0v.1.2.

We hai7e received since Moriday last, Liverpool dates to the
21st Sept, and extracts froth London papers to the 17th, via
New York.—The Corn Market was rather dull at Liverpool at
the last dates. The Speculators had been alarmed by ,a couple of
fair days ; but as it had again rained, their spirits were reviving.
Nothing that can be depended upon of the state of the English
Market for Grain, as materially affecting this country, can be
known before we have accounts of the months of November and
December. It will then be seen whether the price will have
risen so as to allow the consumption of foreign, grain,. and the
effect which will have seen thereby produced.,

AMERICAN MAN UFACT RE3.—Great efforts are at present
making in the United States to manufacture for themselves.l

Premiums are awarded at all the Agricultural Exhibitions for
articles of home manufacture. The following are some of the
articles which received premiums at an Exhibition held in a
part of the State of New York, bordering on Lake Ontario.—
Woollen cloth, flannel, carpeting, worsted stockings, worsted I,
bombazette, worsted cloth, pressed flannel, rose blankets, cot-
ton and woollen coverlets, bleached linen, linen diaper, grass
bonnets in imitation of Leghorn, straw bonnets, bed tick, cas-
semere shawls, hearth rugs, fur hats, wool hats. The females
of one family manufactured, within the year, 4291 yards of I
cloth, 23 pairs socks, 10 pairs woollen socks, 2 pairs cotton
stockings, 23 pairs woollen mittens, and one pair coverlets.—
One
person produced a suit of clothes, made on the day of ex- I
hibition, at hiS factory in Manchester, entirely of the raw ma-
terials. Another produce4t specimen of cambric thread. This
is one of more than a hundred similar exhibitions of which we
have seen accounts in the American papers within a few months.
Mr. Jefferson's policy of keeping the workshops of the United-
State in Europe, seems to .be altogether abandoned. The
want of foreign demand, - and the consequent low price of
Agricultural Produce in such countries as the interior of the
State of New York, together with the inaux of Emigrants in
that quarter from Great Britain, by the St. Lawrence, will pro--
bably operate a change- in the interior of the United States,
which naturally ought not to have occurred so soon, in a coun-
try where every person may so easily become the cultivator of
lands belonging to himself: The consequence of this change
will be, that the workshops of Europe will, partially at least,
be transported to North America, where there is now a conti-
guous population of twelve millions of souls, readily commu-
mcating with each other by internal navigation and coasting.
The following paragraphs connected with this Sablect, 'from
an inland Paper, published in New Hampshire,' are not with-
out interest.

AMERICAN CLOTHS'.

Extract of a Letter from Boston respecting the sales of Clot6'

of American Illanu-factuTe.

" There have been large quantities of American Cloths sold
in Boston within one month, and those of approved quality and
colour are much sought for, and the farmer and manufacturer
will, in a short time, meet with encouragement from the people,
even if the Government should not protect '° National In-
dustry." Wool finds a ready market in Boston. Our Mer-
chants have imported from 100,000 to 300,000 lbs. from Europe,
as much as 100,000 fine sheep would produce. Can it be bad.
policy for them to encourage American Manufactures when they.
have made from 20 to 50 per cent. upon importing wool instead
of remitting their money to _England or Holland to pay
.for
Manufactures which we can make at home ?"

CASH PLENTY.—The Boston Palladium says—" "We are
informed that several of the Banks in Boston have determined
to loan money at five per cent interest." If the Massachusatts
Banks, which pay into their State Treasury one per cent tax
annually on their capital, can Nan money at five per cent. and
make profit; what must be the profit of the New Hampshire.
Banks, which pay a tax to the State of only one half per cent.,
and loan their money at seven and a half per cent. nearly
THE NEW YORK CANALS.--All the public documents re-
lating to these works have, been collected and, published by
Charles G. Haines, Esq. who has written and published an in-
troduction to the work, highly interesting. 'There is an ap-
pendix to this volume, containing all the different statutes to
the Canals, a letter from Governor Brown, and also. from N.
Steel, Esq. of Cincinnati, addressed to Col. Haines, relating to
the Ohio Canal, to connect Lake Erie with the Ohio River.
The Steam Boat De Sidlabery is said to havJ ttfn on shore
yesterday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, otr a reef near St.
Croix. She has upwards of 2000 bushels• of wheat_ on ,board, and
serious apprehensions for the boat's safety are•eirtertained.

CUTTY SToor..—The obloquy 'of stig-
mas inflicted in the way of punishment, either by
Church or State, depends not a little, it would
appear, on the tone of public feeling, and the
character of the individual to whom it is intended
that it should attach. For instance, the Ameri-
cans hanged Major ANDRE for having entered
their camp as a spy to betray their army, while
the English have been ready to enshrine his
bones..—Just so, according to our information,
the Cutty Stool on which the Poet BURNS dreed
penance before " the Maly Band," and the hale
Kirk o' Mauchline, for a breach of the seventh
" Comnian'" with his bonnie JEAN, has, accord-
ing to The Ayr Courier, been, by the very bro-
ther of the woman, converted' into a festal chair,
which the owner boasts as the most precious
chattel in his possession, ar!ci which his friends
are occasionally permitted to occupy, 'Only.by
way of great favour and high hoilbur. When
the admirers of the POet ii#emble 'in the head
inn, Mauctline, to commemorate his birth night,
the chair is occasionally brought into the room,
and the President of the meeting, being placed
'in it with becoming decoruM, 'gives the animating.
toast of the " Memory of Burns." The proprie
tor, among other things which were formerly the
property of the Poet, possesses the punch-spoon
and cup, or'bicker, which 'he-used in the house of
"-Auld.Nanse Tinnock'." He is of a frank' and
lively disposition, details ahecdotes of 'ButiNs
with great vivacity, and 'Very' readily indulges
any intelligent visitors with a right -of --his 'relics:
