We have late accounts from Canada to-day, brought
by the Halifax and Boston steam. ship, which, in refe-
rence to the health of Sir Charles Metcalfe, we may
state with some confidence that the return of his Excel-
lency to this country is all but a settled point. At the
same time, it ought to be mentioned that the ru-
mours so freely circulated in this country that Sir
Charles's life was in most imminent danger, is not
founded in fact. By this arrival we have a return exhi-
biting the nett revenue of the province of Canada for
the last financial year; also, an abstract of the expendi-
ture for the same period; all of which appear to be of
a very satisfactory! nature. On January 31, last year,
there was a balance in favour of the Consolidated Fund of
115,505/. 2s. 104 d. The interest payable upon the
public debt of the province is now not far short of
100,0001. per annum, exclusive, we believe, of the amount
due for the loans raised here, and guaranteed by our
Government, for completing public work in the colony,
and to pay the expenses of fresh roads, canals, &e. It
may be asserted with confidence, that the Canadas are
in a very healthy state. In general the position of the
emigrants who reached Canada last year, amounting to
20,000 men, women, and children from Europe, was good.
The markets for agricultural produce in the Canadas
appear to be well supported.
