All is quiet and happy in this part of the world,
Lady Bagot has given a grand. drawing-room in
Quebec. A great number of distinguished ladies and
gentlemen were presented to her. Her dress was re-
markable for a large display of jewels in her tiara
and stomacher. One of the Papers has the following
remarks about the family :
" One general expression of congratulation was
heard that the province had now at the head of society
the lady of the Governor-General, who, accompanied
by-a. family of daughters, cannot fail in giving a tone
to the manners of her circle, which will shed the most
beneficial influence on the deportment and morals of
that numerous class who borrow their examples from
the great, and are prone to fashion their conduct on
the example set by their superiors in station, more es-
pecially of those who hold the first position in the land."
IRON STEAMER.—An iron steamer, for the use of
the Royal Navy on Lake Ontario, has lately arrived
out from home. It came, of course, in pieces, but
the Government having sent out competent persons,
it is to be put up forthwith. In the same vessel
which brought out the iron steamer, arrived the mag-
nificent engines of the steam-frigate Cherokee, now
almost ready for launching. We have received
intelligence en which we can rely, to the effect that
- the Lords of the Admiralty have determined to put
the naval establishments at Point Frederick on a
substantial and permanent footing..--Kingston Paper.
The Plattsburgh TVhig announces the expected de-
parture of Dr. Wolfred Nelson, who is " about to
leave his numerous friends and patrons in that place,
and take up his residence in Montreal."

BLrANUFACTURED GOODS FOlt EXFORT.—The al-
most total suspension of business in Manchester during a
second week has almost stopped the '.rani, of goods in-
tended for shipment Very few have been sent off, and
vessels have either been prevented from sailing or have
been delayed beyond the appointed time by the non-ar-
rival of goods. Business in Manchester will, it is hoped,
be resumed to-day, and trade run once more in its accus
tomed channel.—Liverpool

fantry, under the command of Sir Robert Douglas, are
