prophecy than we can pretend to be, has sent us the
following—

Monday next, immediately after divine service.--

in the neighbourhood of Three Rivers. A raft, in
going down, was wrecked at St. Jean de Chaillons,
and, melancholy to relate, 16 of the hands perished.
Only two were saved."
BOSTON, JUNE s.—The great meeting of growers
and manufacturers of wool in Massachusetts, was
held this day in the Representative Chamber of the
Capitol. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Lewis
Tappan, Mr. Abbot Lawrence, Honourable Edward
Everett, Hon. H. G. Otis, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr.
Jonas Brown. They contended for the necessity of
supporting manufactures as beneficial to every in-
stance of the whole union. It is principally by them
that New England is able to pay for the numerous
cargoes of flow, tobacco, rice, cotton, and sugar,
which she imports iron the south, and the articles
she imports from foreign countries. The tonnage of
American vessels now engaged in the coasting trade
nearly equals the tonnage engaged in (my foreign
trade in the times of our commercial prosperity,
The former is now about 7.90,000 tons; the latter
was about 900,000 tons.
The meeting was held on propositions foul the
m
Pennsylvania Society foe promoting Domestic Manu-
factures and the Mechanic Arts, and resolutions
were passed, concurring in the views of that Society,
and Delegates to a National Convention to be held
at Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania, July 30. The opinions
of the south were treated with deference, but a
hope expressed of their conviction eventually, that a
sustaining encouragement to American manufactures
Was promotive of the interest of the southern planter.
The Commanders of the British merchant vessels
under seizure at Rio, on the loth of March last,
addressed the following note to Coridy Raguet, Esq.
late American Charge d'Affaires at the Glut of
Brazil, to which he made a suitable reply
51R—We, the undersigned masters of British
vessels detcLit7,el.l in this port by the Brazilians, un-
derstanding you are about to leave this country—on
the one hand, regret your leaving is in the present
dilemma in which we are placed, and from which
your indefatigable and daily exertions added so much
towards a speedy and general release; but we, on
the other hand, heartily congratulate you, and beg
you will accept of our sincere thanks, Wishing

you a speedy and pleasant passage to your native
land, and a happy meeting of your friends, we beg
leave to subscribe ourselves your much obliged and
very bumble servants.

NEW YoßK.—CorroN.—The Canada arrived on
Monday with Liverpool advices to May Ist, showing
limited sales there the preceding week, and a shade
decline. This has induced a trifling concession here
on the part of sellers, say generally 60 and 90 days'
credit instead of money. The traiAactions of the
week amount to 2,000 bales, mostly in Uplands and
Alabamas, at 94 to 10, and 104 for export. Some
fine parcels have been taken for home use, at 1 to
11 more. Uplands, 94 a 104 ; New Orleans, 10 a
124; Alabama, 94 a 104.
New ORLEANS, MAY 12.—COTTON.—The trans-
actions of the week, as heretofore, ran principally on
Tennessee and North Alabama, at an average of
about 7 cts. per pound. We have heard of mixed
lots going as low as 74 and 74 cts., and others of
good quality as high as eight cents. The demand
for middling and common descriptions of Louisiana
and Mississippi have rather improved, without any
advance in price, and are now scarce. Choice or
fine is still neglected, although not plenty. We
quote according to the Liverpool classification.—
Ordinary to middling, 8 a 8A ; Middling to fair, 8:-
a 8i ; Fair to good fair, 9 a -94 ; Good fair to good,
91 a 104, fair demand. Good and fine, 11 a 13,
nominal.

SAVANNAH, MAY 26.—COTTON.—The demand
for Uplands is good; prices 8 a 10 cts., principal
sales 8i a 9; Sea Islands 18 a 20, up to 23 for fine
favourite parcels—stock quite limited.
• (From the Mobile Register, May 17.)
COTTON.—The market has undergone no change
of consequence for several weeks ; the prices may be
quoted at 7a 8i cents. The sales this week have
been principally at 8 a Bf.

SAXONY SHEEP.--A very valuable flock of Sax-
ony sheep, imported in the ship Louisa, from
Bremen, consisting of GO ewes, 22 lambs, and 23
rams, are to be sold by auction, at twelve o'clock
this day, at the farm of Messrs. W. and G. Wright,
in Flushing, Queen's County. They are said to be
of the finest breed.
RAPID TRAVELLING.—The passengers by the
steam-boat Line, arrived at Philadelphia on Tuesday,
from Richmond Va. in 45 hours, and in this city,
from Philadelphia, in 11 hours more—making a
distance of about .500 miles in .56 hours.

EMIGRATION.—The emigrants to America from
Great Britain have been unusually numerous this
spring. Several ships which have arrived in our
port within the last month have been freighted with
them. The Government of that country have made
extensive arrangements for sending over, at its own
expense, a great number of those who may be in-
clined to emigrate to the Canadas, having appropri.
ated from the public funds so much as would take
out to Upper Canada 6,000 emigrants from Scotland
6,000 from Ireland, and 4,000 from England. The
number of persons in Scotland, who petitioned to be
taken to Canada is stated at 18,000. The Lords of
the Treasury also have issued orders that all restric-
tions which interfere with the free emigration of the
King's subjects from Ireland, shall be suspended;
Pas,u-napAr. Act to
the number of passengers going by eueb,
not be enforced.

The Quebec G«retfc, of the 3d inst. Qays, that
1,500 out of the 10;000 expectea;--mve atre,gdy
arrived, and that those who come out at their own
expence, will swell the number to 25,000. It is
said that those sent out at the expence of Govern-
ment are to be exclusively weavers, which will, of
course, lessen the distress in Great Britain. We
hope that they may not be disappointed in their
golden expectations of this country, but apprehend
that such an immense number of settlers will be
greatly distressed before they can secure to them-
selves comfortable living in a new country by agri-
culture—a profession for which, by their former
pursuits, they are totally unfitted.
