ST. JOHN'S, NEW BRUNSWICK, JULY 17.---. The
Col-
lector has received orders from the Commissioner of the
Customs to exact the duty on all foreign flour, provisions,
&c. that are not imported by, or consigned to, a resident
merchant, as they consider no other person eligible to enter
provisions for the use of the fisheries. About 250 barrels
have been imported from warehouses by a non-resident, and
the duty was demanded. His Excellency Sir James Kempt
sailed on Thursday in the Chebucto, for Yarmouth. He
will visit the principal western harbours previous to his
return.
AMERICAN CONSUL.—Mr. Morfit, the Gentleman who
arrived from Nova Scotia some time ago, from the States,
and bore his credentials as Consul from the Authorities at
Washington, has returned to Boston in the George Henry.
His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, we understand,
refused to acknowledge him there in his official character..
His Lordship, the Bishop of Nora Scotia had returned
from Petty Harbour and Feiryland, and was waiting at
St. John's the arrival of his Majesty's ship Alligator,
Captain Canning, from Quebee, in which his Lordship
intended to take passage to Halifax. Col. Nicholls of the
Royal Engineers, arrived here on Tuesday morning, in the
Government brig Chebucto, in four days from Halifax.
We understand he is come for the purpose of surveying the
forte, &c.
PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND, JULY 10.—The accounts ,
from Newfoundland, of the 27th June, express much alarm
at the prevalence of typhus fever and the measles., which
was making frightful havoc. A private letter says, they
are dying by dozens daily, the weather being excessively
hot. A public meeting was to be held on the'27th for the
purpose of relieving the necessities of the poor and afford-
ing them medical assistance. Another letter describes the
mortality es truly appalling. The contagion had been
brought to the country by several vessel's with Irish
passengers on board, of which it was engendered by the
filthy and crowded state of their holds. The instructions
for regulating the number of passengers to be taken by each
ship being now removed, they seem to have been crowded
on board. literally we think as they could stow them, men,
women, and children prorniscously. Not a day passeswithout
witnessing the death of numbers of these wretched beings,
of diseases contracted on the passage. One morning 30
were laying dea4 at once. From the general tenour of
these papers, there appears to he great activity in the con-
struotion of roads, and' othzr improvements in these valuable
colonies, and a general desire en the Government officers
to give every aid and assistance. The Annapolis iron
works are in full work, and the quality of the iron produeed
at Mooae Bier is declared to be the toughest and best by
an experienced workman, 010 has made trial of its pro-
perties, ever worked.

We stated a week ago, that four only of the
Russian line-of-battle ships, with some of the
frigates now at Spithead, were to proseed on to the
Mediterranean ; and this has been since fully con-
firmed by the orders which have been given to
the Commander-in-Chief of the squadron. We
mentioned at the same time that the remainder
of the ships would return to Cronstadt. This
will, we understand, probably be the case ; but at
the same time it is understood that final orders
on the subject will not be given until the arrival
of the next advices from Constantinople, which
will, in all probability, contain the final determi-
nation of the Porte, and enable a correct esti-
mate to be formed of the exact force which it
may be necessary to employ in the Levant.
It is generally supposed that this reduction of
the Russian naval force, intended to be employed
in the Mediterranean, has been effected by the

remonstrances of our Government. We have
frequently shewn the necessity of our maintain-
ing a fleet in the Mediterranean equal to that of
any other nation, and France would probably con-
sider it necessary to her interests to do the same.

If, therefore, the whole of the Russian squadrOn,
now at Spithead, were to proceed to -the Medi-
terranean, it would lead to the assembling of a
fleet there, infinitely greater than could be neces-
sary for any operations connected with its
avowed object, and would entail upon us a
very serious expence. We rejoice, therefore,
that the Russian Government hare abandoned
their first intentions, or deferred carrying them
into full effect until some necessity more strong

than any which now exists, should arise for their
fulfilment. If circumstances should hereafter
occur to induce the Russian Government to
send on the remainder of the squadron to the
Mediterranean, we shall not be backward in
dispatching a further squadron of ships of the
line to the same destination.

Prince Edward Island papers of the 24th of
July have been received from St. John's. The
following is an extract :
The Royal Gazette contains his Excellency the Lieut.-
Governor's Proclamation, proroguing the General Assembly
of the Province until the second Tuesday in October. The
Fredrickton Gazette states that Sir Howard Douglas had
received advises from Colonel Cockburn, and that in con-
sequence, warrants of Survey had been issued to the Sur-
veyor- General. They command the laying out of town-
ships, between the head of the Sateudiac and the Riche-
bucto Rivers, in a direct line for Chatham Mirimachi.
Roads are to be opened through them. This tract of
country has been selected by Colonel Cockburn as
the spot upon which the new scheme of emigration
is to be attempted. Shediac, owing to the depth
of water in its harbour, has been fixed upon as the first
central point of disembarkation. Sir Howard has just re-
turned from a visit to the Grand Lake, which is connected
with, by a navigable canal, the River St. John, and is said
to lie in one of the finest sections of the whole province of
New Brunswick. His Excellency has established a number
of schools, and afforded in his Majesty's name pecuniary
aid for the erection of churches in some of the parishes at
which he touched during his tour.

His Majesty's packet brig Swallow has ar-
rived with a Jamaica Mail. She sailed from
Jamaica on the 30th May, from Vera Cruz on
the 24th June, from the Havannah on the 14th
July, and from Bermuda on.tlie 26th July.

Vera Cruz Papers of the 23d June, have been
received at the North and South Ameriean Cof-
fee-house, from which we extract the following :

The Papers from Mexico inform us, that the sentence
of death had at length been put in execution on the Priest
Arenas ; the delay since his conviction had given cause to
suppose it was the intention of Government to save this
man; no disturbance took place on this occasion, and 16
days atter every thing was perfectly quiet. His Majesty's
ship Britornart was at Vera Cruz taking in specie and
cochineal.

Captain CLIFFORD, C.B. is appointed to

H.M.S. Undaunted, of 46 guns, fitting out at
Chatham. It is understood that the Undaunted
is to convey to India his Excellency' Lord Wm.
13 EN T I,lc K., the Governor-General.

Letters from Rio de Janeiro of the Ist June
lave been received, at that time nothing was known fur-

ther on the subject of the peace between the Brazilian Go-
vernment and that of Buenos Ayres ; they still state that
peace was fully expected to be the result of the mission of
Mr. Garcia, who had returned to the River Plate, with
such terms as it was expected would he accepted by the
Buenos Ayrean Government ; but it does not appear that
any Treaty has actually been signed or finally concluded
upon. The Exchange at Rio was 37d. per milrea ; the
premium on silver 20 to 25 per cent., but was expected
still lower.

NEW YORK, JULY 19.—A letter from
Sumatra, received at Salam, states, that a war has been
raging for six months between the Rajahs of Quallabattoo,
Sooso, and Analaboo, and the Rajah of Troumond. A
ship of 14 guns was blockading the port of Quallabattoo,
preventipg all vessels from trading. A number of Eng-
lish vessels had stopped, but were prevented from trading.
There was a considerable quantity of pepper at Qualla-
battoo, and the inhabitants were desirous to have the
Delphos trade.

A report had been in circulation at Neff
York, where it hail caused considerable sensation, that
symptoms of the yellow fever had appeared in that city :
we are however happy to state, that the report in question
had been ascertained to be totally unfounded.

The American Papers complain bitterly, that
the vessels coming from Es gland are inundating New York
and the other Cities in the Union, with paupers. The
captains of two vessels had been brought before the magis-
trates on this charge. It appeared on examination that
one of the vessels, from Liverpool, had brought over a lot
of English poor, their parish having paid the cost of their
passage. The captain disavowed any knowledge of the cir-
cumstance, the passages being taken by a broker. The pe-
nalties for such conduct are heavy, and they would in fu-
ture be strictly enforced. A cordon of some kind is much
wanted, the editor observes, or New York will become the
general depot of pauperism.

- - -
QUEBEC, JULY 10.—His Majesty's ship
Alligator, Captain Wm. Pitt Canning, sailed for Halifax
with a fair wind from the west; this day his Excellency
the Governor-in-Chief, with the Countess of Dalhousie
and suite, left the city on their return to Sorel, on board
the Water'oo steamer, a guard of honour paraded at the
Castle of St. Louis, and a salute was bred from the Citadel
as the boats passed Cape Diamond. His Lordship having
inspected the regiments in garrison,.has been pleased to ex-
press. laic approbation of their discipline and appearance in
a General Order, dated July 7, 1827, signed by the
Acting Adjutant-General, C. Forster. These papeis an-
nounce the arrival of several hundred barrels of beef
and pork at the port of Quebec from Boston, which
were not allowed to land. Two vessels had ar-
rived from thence. The other articles they brought
were staves, in considerable quantities, which is lite-
rally carrying coals to Newcastle. It is rather a
curious circumstance, that the severe gale and cold, on the
23d and 24th of June, was felt along the course of the
River St. Lawrence, as far as the head of Lake Erie, on
the same day at Washington and New England; it was
also felt on the same day at the former place, there was
irost sufficient to injure the grapes and tobacco. The elec-
tion in Montreal, fOr Members to form the new Provincial
Parliament, was likely to be severely contested.

Sir Francis Burdett left town for Derbyshire
two days after the death of Mr. Canning, deeply affected by
the sudden and unexpected event. The worthy Baronet
had fixed to leave England the morning of Mr. Canning's
death, to join Lady Burdett at Bordeaux. Sir Francis
has postponed his departure from England for the present.

- -
We are happy to learn that Mr. Huskisson's
health has considerably improved since he left England.

PREPARATIONS FOR MR. CANNING'S
FUNEUAL.—The shop-doors and windows of Mr. Jarvis,
in Long-acre, were in a state of siege the entire of last
evening, with crowds of persons anxious to see the coffin
in which are to be deposited the remains of the illustrious
deceased. It was with difficulty the servants of the
nobility and gentry, who came with letters to solicit for
their writers a part in the funeral procession, could approach
the door to deliver them. The coffin was completed about
seven o'clock, and remained in Mr. Jarvis's ship until after
nightfall, when it was removed to Downing-street, and the
shell containing the remains of Mr. Canning deposited in
it. , 'The number of applications for tickets to attend the

CITY, TWRLVR o'Czocr.

A short time before the close of business yester-
day at the English Stock Exchange a greater degree
of activity took place in the Funds, and Consols sud-
denly went,up to 881 for account, and were done
afterwards in the Alley as high as 884; this morning
their first price was 881 for account and money,
they were afterwards 88i, buyers, but have gone
hack to their opening price ; the new account has
been opened, and Consols for October have been

India Bonds are 92.3 pm.; and Exchequer Bills, 59
pm. The Foreign Funds have been excessively
dull all the morning, and scarcely any transactions
have taken place ; Colombian Bonds are quoted at
314 ; Mexican 6 per Cents. 694 1. The intel-
ligence received this morning from Mexico, by
the mail, is favourable; tranquillity existed in
every quarter of the United States, and at length
the priest Arenas, in conformity with the sentence
which had been passed on him for treason to the
State, had been executed, and he was shot on the
4th of June; no disturbance or 'any attempt in his
favour appears to have been made, and the example
which had been set to intrigues of this description
was expected to have a wholesome effect in deter-
ring others from similar acts, independent of which
it has shewn the power and firmness of the Govern-
ment. Shares, with the exception of Brazilian
Mines, which have improved to 11 12 pm., continue
in the same state of apathy, and at former discounts.
The accounts received this morning relative to the
Real del Monte Mines are, however, stated to be of
a very favourable natdre.

THE LATE MR. CANNING.

TO THE EDITOR OF VIE SUN.
Stu—Among those who hare spoken of the eminent
Statesman we have just lost, I have observed some, who,
not being actuated by envy or factious motives, and being
naturally moderate and well-disposed, have done justice to
his distinguished qualities, while at the same time they hare
expreesed themselves as not quite decided as to the judicious-
ness of his plans. Of-these, indeed-, we may be differently
qualified to judge, according to the different extent of our
judgment and capacities ; but those I have mentioned ap-
peared at least to me to do justice both to eminent merit
and to the honest suggestions of their own minds. I fear,
however, that there are others who, being conscious that
they do not themselves stand high in the opinion of the
world, are disposed to revenge themselves upon it, by in-
veighing against those who do; and these natural enemies,
as they will he to real merit or greatness of mind, may, I
believe, be reckoned among those whom you justly call
" the murderers of Mr. Canning." Their malignant pas-
sions will be their own punishment, as virtue is its own
reward. I am, Sir, yours, &a.

WINDSOR, AUGUST 14.—Yesterday the
KING, accompanied by the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, left
the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, followed by
the &ther visiters and attendants in their phaetons and
an open carriage, and drove by Sandpit-gate to Vir-
ginia Water, where his MAJESTY and the company em-
barked on board the new frigate, and enjoyed an aquatic
excursion for upwards of two hours, when the Royal
party disembarked and entered their carriages, and took
some delightful drives in the environs of the Lake, and
returned to the Royal Lodge at half-past six o'cleck.—
In addition to the company remaining at the Royal Lodge,
Lord and Lady MARYROROUOII, and Mr. and Mrs. Fax-
MANTLE, arrived by invitation, and had the honour of din-
ing and passing the evening with hie MAJESTY. The
King's private band were again in attendance, and played
during the evening.—This day the Duke of DEVONSHIRE
took leave of is MAJESTY, and left the Royal Lodge for
his residence in town.

The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE,
after dining with his 11fAESTY on Sunday, at the Royal
Lodge, in company with the Queen of WURTEMBERG and
the Princess AUGUSTA, slept at the Royal Lodge, and re..
tnrned the following morning to Bushy-park.
The Duke of CLARENCE cane to town yes-
terday morning. His Royal Highness was engaged for
several hours at the Admiralty, transacting official busi-
ness, and also gave audiences to a number of flag-officers.
The Royal Duke returned to Bushy in the afternoon.

Viscount GODERICH, after having a long
audience of the KING on Monday, at the Royal Lodge in
Windsor-park, returned to town. Mr. liss.aixs had an
interview with the Noble Viscount on Monday. The
Marquis of LaNsnowtra and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL
transacted business with his Lordship yesterday, at his re-
sidence in Downing-street.

Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, ac-
companied by Monsieur Sultaxon, his Secretary, to-
gether with Monsieur 11.0111, the French Charge d'Affaires,
had 4 long conference with Viscount DUDLEY yesterday.
Mr. WILMOT HORTON is returned' from
Ireland.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—The Press has
enumerated the late Premier's contributions, when at Eton,
to the Microcosm, a periodical written by the students of
that College. An unsuccessful attempt was made by the
youths of another public school to establish a similar pub-
lication, which presented itself to the public with a ptint
in the title-page, representing Justice, with boys in the
Eton costume in the one scale, and their rivals in the
other; the former kicking the beam. When this print
was shown to George Canning, the witty youth imme-
diately wrote under it :--,-
What mean ye, by this print sa rare,
Ye wits—of Eton jealous?
But that we soar sublime in air,
And ye are heavy fellows.

Some of the recent failures at the Stock Ex-
change having been traced to the refusal of individuals out
of the house who were really able to do so, to fulfil their
engagements, the attention of the Committee has been di-
rected to the means, either of compelling them to do so, or
of subjecting them to something like a public exposure;
but the regulations of the house, which confine the func-
tions of the Committee of the Stock Exchange to the trans-
actions of its members solely, and the prospect of frequent
prosecutions for libel, have formed hitherto an insuperable
obstacle. Some arrangement, however, is likely to be
made, by which these difficulties will be obviated ; and the
members who have the misfortune to become defaulters, and
who owe their ruin to the desertion of their principals, will
be able to inflict something like an appropriate punish-
ment ...Tim,

CARLISLE ELECTION.

(FROM A CORRI9YONDENT.)
FIRST DAY...-MOND AY, Auo. IS.

This being the day appointed by proclamation for
electing a Member to serve in Parliament in the
room of Sir Philip Musgrave, Bert., deceased, both
parties began to muster their forces at their respec-
tive quarters as early as eight in the morning, up to
which time nothing of importance had occurred since
ray last, but the appearance of a third address from
Mr. Lawson, for the purpose of correcting an error
which had been circulated to his prejudice respect-
ing his opinions on the Corn Laws. He declares
himself " convinced of the justice and necessity of
their undergoing some amendment," and says, " I
highly approve of the Bill introduced, into Parlia-
ment for that purpose by the present enlightened
Administration."

Both parties had declared the results of their can-
vass to be highly flattering; but the freemen re-
siding in Newcastle met last week, and determined
to support Mr. Lawson.
The 90th Light Infantry, stationed in the Castle,
marched out of town this morning, at seven o'clock.
About eight o'clock Mr. Lawson was drawn into
the city by his party, preceded by a band of music
and flying colours. After drawing him three times
round the Cross, they conveyed him, amidst loud
cheers, to the Coffee-house, the head-quarters of
his party. The words " Lawson and Indepen-
dence" were inscribed on his standard ; but the flags
of Sir James Graham and of the former Blue Mem-
ber (Mr. James) were also carried in the procession.
This day Col. Lushington displayed another yellow
flag, with the inscription " Lushington and the True
Independence." His party had the start of the
Blues, and advanced in procession to the Hall,
where they arrived about a quarter before nine.
Precisely at nine o'clock the Blue procession ar-
rived, and posted their banners on the opposite side
of the market-place to that which was occupied by
the Yellows. The heads of both parties entered the
Hall, Without seeming to observe a small temporary
stage, which the Mayor had erected on the steps.
It was about three feet by four in d;mensions, and
the people called it the New Drop. It resembled
very much such an engine in appearance ; but it was-
not half the size of the scaffold for ordinary executions.
Hereon the Mayor posted himself when he arrived,
and, after the parties had been waiting for him
within for at least half an hour, he sent a message
that he was waiting outside to receive the nomina-
tion. This message was communicated to the meet-
ing by Mr. Lawson, and received with strong marks
of disapprobation from all quarters of the Hall. Mr.
J. Brougham, Dr. Harrington, and several other
freemen, remonstrated against this new arrangement,
for which it was obvious to every body that inade-
quate preparations had been made ; but the Mayor
would not stir from his plank, and thus the meeting
was thrown into disorder and tumult, though every
thing commenced in the morning under the fairest
auspices of good humour and decorum. The oppo-
nents of the Corporation, who really seem careless
how much they give occasion to their enemies, were
evidently delighted with the present opportunity of
complaint.
After two hours had been wasted in unave.Wing
murmurs, and in attempts which were at last only
partially successful, to clear the sall, Dr. Harrington
was with much difficulty brought to the foot of the
scaffold, where he said—" Mr. Mayor, I nominate
and propose Wilfrid Lawson, Esq., of Brayton, as a
proper person to represent this city in Parliament."
I question if the Mayor himself heard this nomi-
nation. The citizens were unfortunately disap-
pointed of Mr. Brougham's presence upon the occa-
sion; but Mr. James Brougham was very assiduous
in assisting in the arrangements of the Blues.
Mr. DoniNsoN here seconded the nomination of
Mr. Lawson.

Mr. LAWSON then rose, and was received with
very obstreperous marks of applause. Gentlemen,
in accepting your invitation to allow my name to be
btril;,reida
put in nomination for the honour of representing you
in
as tfl;,haolrl not be
reluctantly,
uccotsaill
Parliament,
efnot;wlarhdoptoeothhaast
the service of my country.—(Applause.)—ln me,
Gentlemen, haste would have been presumption;
and I shall treat with the utmost scorn the imputa-
tion of reluctance, from whatever quarter it may
come. lam surrounded by gentlemen who know
me better, and they will testify that I never, from
the beginning of their conferences with me, had any
other reluctance in consenting to serve you, than
was evinced in my wish that a more able and ta-
lented individual might present himself among you.
It is true, Gentlemen, I come not here from any
motive of ambition, but with the sincere convictibn
that my presence was required, to assist you in the
exercise of your constitutional rights. I should be
sorry if my not having Canvassed you individually
should be construed into any appearance of disre-
spect towards you ; for, Gentlemen, believe me it
proceeded from my respect for that constitutional
right which you are now called upon to assert—the
right of choosing a Representative, without indi-
vidual dictation, and free of all personal or family in-
fluence, that might tend to fetter your freedom of
election.—(Loud cheers.)—Vast local advantages
have been promised you from the placing of my op-
ponent in the vacant seat of your representation ;
but I consider it to be the duty of the person you
return to have respect to the general interests of the
country, in the promotion of which will bnbest
secured your own particular advantage.—(Loud
cheers.)—lt will, moreover, be the duty of your
Representative to act upon all occasions so as to .
assert your rights, redress your grievances, and to
controul the expenditure of the public money.
Whether the gentleman who conceals his sentiments
on these and all similar topics, or I, who unre-
servedly declare mine, be the most likely to gain
your favour, is a matter which you must decide ;
but, Gentlemen, I may be permitted to say, that my
opponent may have more ability, but he cannot be
more anxious than I am to serve you ; that if
elected, I shall feel it ray duty to attend to your ma-
nufacturing interest, nut as opposed to agriculture,
but as essential to its prosperity; that I am, and
ever shell be, the zealous advocate of a RJform in
Parliament—(Cheers)—and that I consider the
time to have arrived when the admission of our Ro-
man Catholic fellow-subjects to the full enjoyment
of the Constitution would be an act not of national,
generosity, but of national justice.—(This declars.-
tion was received with general arid enthusiastic ap-
probation.)—On the subject of the Corn Laws,.
have great cause to agree with my opponent, for 1
think the rejected Bill would be beneficial to the
agricultural community, to which I belong; but on
this as on every other question, I never will be in-
fluenced by any selfish motives.---(Cheers.)—The
Noble Lord who has had the great kindness to pro-
vide a candidate for you, has said that he is knohn
in the. North by his electioneering experience; 1
trust that experience will not be extended •in this
city in the manner which his Lordship anticipated.
—(Cheers.)— And, Gentlemen, if the result should
not be pleasing to that Noble Lord, the rights
of you, the independent and high-spirited free-
men, will have gained another triumph. But
if a majority of you think proper to elect my oppo-
nent, 1 can only say that I should not envy him the
obligation which he will have incurred; but Ishould
retire into private life, with the full conviction of
having performed my duty in now answering the
call of my friends.--(Cheering for several minutes.)
I understand that Col. Lushington was then pro-
posed with equal distinctness by Alderman Sir J.
Gilpin, and that the motion was seconded by Mr.
Richard Lowrie.

COL LUSHINGTON then addressed the people. He
said he had taken his post, as he promised them he
would do, and he doubted not that the support
which he had been promised would enable
him to maintain it with success.—[The at,
tempts to applaud the Colonel were here,
and in several other passages, borne down by hoot-
ing and hissing from the opposite party; but the
Colcnel, I must acknowledge, was heard with- more
patience, if not wit% more attention, than is usually
the lot of unpopular candidates.]-.-He proceeded t 9
