NIAGARA, JULY 13.—One day's delay in this
week's publication, has enabled us to announce
the arrival of his Excellency Sir Peregrine Malt-

land this morning (Friday) in the steam boat
Frontenac, from York. A salute was fired from
Fort George on his Excellency's arrival.
Died, at Fort Erie, on the 19th June, 18.20, Margaret, wife
of William Stanton, Esq. Deputy Assistant Connuissw Ge'-
neral, whose irreparable loss will be ever most deeply telt- by
her afflicted surviving family. Could professional skill have
saved her to her very numerous and anxious family, there
was a reasonable hope that such might have been the result ;

and inspired by. this In common with her friends, she he-
roically submitted to a painful and most distressing opera-
tion, which she sustained with a degree of patience and for-
titude almost unexampled. 13ut, alas ! the inveteracy of her
complaint was so great, and 'the possession it hart obtained of
her whole frame was such as must have baffled all human
shill. In her last moments-she evinced that calmness of soul

and pious resignation to the will of Providence, that might
have been expected from one who bad fulfilled all the relatve
duties of life in so exemplary a manner.—(Canadiax "Ppo.)
Weather.—The heat of the.weather has greatly-
abated, the mornings and evenings being com-
fortably cool, though the afternoons are still very
warm. Last Sunday night we had some rain,

which, with the preceding, has giiien to the crops
a jolly corpulency.
Commerce.—The decline of commerce is be-
come lately more perceptible ; no less than six
persons having failed, and one absconded within
the last ten days ; all of them, however, in the
retail trade. The mercantile body, bloated dur-
ing the war, must, without some unforeseen event,
undergo a still further diminution.
MONTREAL, JULY 22.—New Steam Ferry-
boat.—There now lies, opposite Mr. Molson's
brewery, receiving her engine, that small steam
ferry-boat which we some months ago mentioned
to have been built at Boucherville by Mr. De-
celles. It is of a construction similar to that of

the team-boat, is 68, feet long by 40 broad, is
intended to ply between Longueil and the Never
Market, and will probably commence her trips in.
about three weeks or a month. Her engine, cast
at the St. Mary Poundery, possesses a 30 horse
power, and has been constructed by Mr. Hall.
The New Swiftsure, in which some very ele-
gant and commodious alterations have been made,
will be ready. for navigation next week.
Dieu—At New York, (where he bad gone for the recovery
of Ins health) on the Ilth inst., Samuel' I). Fletning, Esq.
of this City, Deputy Assistant Commissary t;eneral, aged a 9
years, for more than 20 of which, be was distinguished as a
zealous and meritorious servant of. Government._
CHANSON DU. ROI GEORGE QUATRE.
Sur 1' Air : Grand Dieu, pour Gem ge Trois.

De tes fiders 31qt-is,

Que le Dieu Tout puissant

ses atifaits:
11'..6iis Solent Jes projets,
Aiosi que tes exploits;
Et nous Jinn's cent foie,
Vire le Roi.

TonAcco.—Petersburgh, June 14.—1 t is as-
certained that upwards of 18,000 hhds. of To-
bacco have been received already this season at
the different warehouses in this place. Before
the Ist October, at which time the shipping year
will expire, we doubt not the number will ex-
ceed 20,000. In this computation the tobacco
brought down the Appomattox Canal is not in-
cluded ; which being inspected above; is merely
brought here for sale ; and we have known in
the course of the season, one house to receive
through this channel in a single day the consign-
ment of 500 hhds. We have no data by which
to ascertain the whole extent of the Canal Com-
merce ; but it is already considerable, and is
daily becoming more so. The whole of this vast
amount of produce is brought to the Petersburg
market, and either sold for cash or bartered for
necessary goods. And what is doubtless the
most pleasing circumstance to the planter, is the
promptitude with which the business of buying
and selling is conducted. The moment the to-
bacco is inspected, the purchasers am upon the
spot, and the seller realises its value immediate-
ly. Many ships have been dispatched from our
ports in the, course of this month and last, freight-
ed with tobacco, cotton and flour ; there are
now betweet,t fifteen and -twenty loading for
foreign ports. /
NEW YORK, JULY 1.-An Interesting Ma-
chine.—The subscriber, after much labour and
expense, has at length succeeded in bringing his
newly invented Hydraulic Boat Propelling Ma-
chine to such a degree of perfection, as he thinks
amply sufficient to demonstrate its util.ity ; and.
he now respectfully informs the public, that it
will be put into, full and complete operation ou
Tuesday, the 18th.
This Machine, (which is only the Model of
one that is shortly to be put in operation upon
an extensive scale) is so constructed as to keep
two Boats in continual motion, passing and re-
passing each other, and gliding in rapid silence
over the waves, exhibiting at once a scene both
novel and delightful.—lt may be necessary just
to observe, that as the Boats are fastened to a
chain that moves with them on two sets of sup.
1 porting wheels, they are thus effectually secured
from danger or accidents.
The exports of cotton and rice from Charles.
ton, during the month of June last, are .estimat-
ed at 549,917 dollars.
