-
lain, Dr. Mountain, arrived here lag evening.

NIAGARA, JUNE 22, IS2o.—There is some-
thing so excellent and exemplary in the conduct
of our late Sovereign George the Third, that I"
have been requested by some loyal subjects to
propose, that a subscription be entered into, to
erect a Monument to his memory ; to be
placed at York. It is hoped that the high qua-
lities of our deceased Monarch, will induce the
loyal inhabitants of this happy and highly favour-
ed Province, to call meetings and contribute,
from one shilling to a dollar a piece, to foster the
feelings of loyalty, and peirpetuate their respect
for the virtues of a patriotic King.
ROBERT..ADDISON, Minister of Niagara.

MONTREAL, JULY CHINE CANA.L.—We
are happy to have it in our power to announce
that the first rough operations of this work have
been completed; and that they have been con-
ducted with all the celerity of which they were
susceptible.

UNITED STATES.

From the Philatlelyihia Cqzette, June 99.

Sr. LOU IS,• MISSO unir.—A letter from a Gen-
tleman who had lately arrived at St. Louis, to
his friend in Richmond, Va. gives him an' ac-
count of what he witnessed during the first week,'
to enable him to form some idea of the state of
society in that section of our Country.
He arrived in town on Wednesday: The same
day, Mr. Charless, the Editor of The Missouri
Gazette, an opponent of slavery, was violently
assaulted by Mr. lsaac.N. Henry, Editor of
The St. Louis Enquirer, a friend of slavery.—
The Rev. Jos. Figgot was in company with Mr.
Charless, and endeavoured to separate the com-
batants., when Mr.lV harton Rector, the friend of
Henry, drew a pistol from his- pocket, and de-
clared that he would blow him through if he in-
terfered. Mr. Charless is a man about 50 years ;
his opponents,- 23 or 25. Mr. C. used the
shilalah to great advantage, and when the battle
ended, the amount of damages sustained fell upon
Mr. Henry, whose shoulder was unjointed.
On Sunday evening a Gentleman on returning
home, found his quarters-occupied-by a friend,-
who extended his friendly visits to rather too":
great a length—The door being locked, it was
broken open by the owner-; the visitor jumped
out of the window, a battle ensued :.the man was
struck with a knife, the woman was beaten
On Monday evening a battle royal- ensued..
It happened at the theatre, and originated in
; although that was not the immediate ori-
gin, the causes and circumstances of- it,,it is use
less to mention. The result was, that one-of-the -
combatants received several stabs in. his back
with a dirk—the other had a black eye. One '
of the spectators who interfered; received a-stab
in his hand, another in the arm, and a third was .
knocked down -with a porter bottle. • .
On Tuesday two gentlemen engaged in the
river trade, vulgarly called boatmen, fought on-
the subject of politics, w rich resulted in one of
the combatants having .his kg broken, and the
other his nose bit off. On Wednesday one
of the combatants of Monday, attacked one of
the wounded and gave him several blows ; but the
other being wounded in the arm, did not return
them. To finiSh the events of this week, a lady
of colJur flogged her husband, a white man, which
so enraged him that he fixed his gun and shot •
himself.

DILL.—On Monday, 19th June 3 a duel was
fought between Messrs. Richard Stuart and
Townsend S. Dade, both of King GeOrge County,
Virginia, on the Maryland shore, immediately
opposite their residence, at a short distance, with
muskets loaded with buck shot. Mr. Dade was
killed dead ; Mr. Stuart was so severely wounded
that he expired in a few hours after. They were
neighbours, near.relations, and heretofore friends.-
The unfortunate difference which resulted in so
tragic an end, occurred about a mere tritle';
and thus adds two more to the list of wretched
victims, who have fallen a sacrifice to false no-
tions of honour and the horrid and Gothic prat
Lice of duelling.—(Baltimore Telegraph.)

On Sunday evening last, the congregation of
St. Andrew's Chapel, North Shields, was thrown
into the greatest consternation by the following
simple accident :=About the 'Middle of the ser-
vice, a superintendant unnecessarily lighted a fire
in the vestry, which has` a direct communication
with the low part of the chapel. The wind be-
ing high, and the interior door open for the pur-
pose of bringing chairs for' the unaccommodated
part
,of the audience, a 'column of smoke was
blown from the, vestry into the chapel. In an
instant all was in alarm, and a cry of " fire " and
c,c. gas" was echoed from different parts ; an
immediate rush towards the east entrance took
place, and notwithstanding the repeated assu-
rances of no danger, from those who saw the
cause, yet still the alarm continued, and many, in
their endeavours to escape, got hurt. We are
happy, however, in. stating that no serious acci-
dent took place, every avenue and corner being
completely occupied. .A. great part „of the con-
gregation prudently kept their seats, and compo-
sedly witnessed the folly of giving way to the
impulse of momentary feeling, which invariably
increases the mischief to a tenfold degree in cases
of real danger and constitutes all the peril of
false alarm. What renders the impression more
extraordinary is that from the clearne.Ss

building, an accident in the inside of the chapel

been occupied, but, that the larger bed appeared
to have had two persons. sleeping, in it, on the

Highness, to go

The interrogation was going on u hen our Re-
porter left the House.

Mr. CANNING arrived in Lausanne on Friday,
the 19th ult. on his way to Italy, for which be
set out on the following morning.
The negociation for purchasing the King's
Theatre out of the hands of private individuals,
into those of several Noblemen, is still on the
tapis, and if fortunately concluded,i in all proba-
bility the Italian Opera, under their powerful
auspices, would obtain a higher der:ree of repu-
tation than it has hitherto done in this kingdom.
Mr. THOMPSON, a second American Roseius,
is just arrived from the United States, where he
has been playing all the principal parts in Tra
gedy, and theatrical report sa) he is to make
Ids debut here at Drury-lane Theatre.

That HER PsiAsnsTi has fella' among evil
Advisers, it is understood that even her Legal
Counsel have admitted, but if what we have
heard is well-founded, those Advisers are of a
more atrocious description than 'has hitherto been
supposed, and instead of being friendly to TnE
QuEE.,i, are making her an instrument for the pui.-
pose of convulsing and spreading consternation
over the whole Country, with the obvious view
of exciting a Revolution. If we are rightly in-
formed, but most solemnly do we/ hope it is not the
case, HER MAJESTY intends to present herself
at the Bar of the House of Lords on the conclu-
sion of the, Trial, and to declare, that their
Lordships have given themselves a great deal of
trouble to establish the fact of her having been
guilty of A.deltery, a fact which she readily
admits, and has deeply lamented ever since she
committed it, but that it was only with one
Person, and that was 44 THE HUSBAND of Mrs.
FITZREREERT !I!" The object of such advice? if
HER MAJESTY has really received it, must
be of the most flagitious nature, and can
only be aimed at His MAJESTY and the
Country. If WO had not beard this alarm-
ing information in a quarter of the highest
respectability, and that her unofficial friends make
no ssruple of avowing that they have given
her such advice, with 'their confident hopes
that she will adopt it, we should fear to present
such a communication to the Public. But it is right
that the Friends of the Country, and the Con-
stitutional Guardians of the State, should know
the full extent of the meditated mischief,
that they' may be prepared against the con-
sequences. It is obvious that such a measure
on the part of THIS QUEEN, though it might be
in a very great degree injurious to the Country,
would not be attended with the least advantage
to her, as it is evident that nothing can vindicate
her character but the complete falsification of all
the charges which have been alleged against her
by the several witnesses respecting her alleged
intercourse with Iliparamz.
