NOVA SCOTIA AND QUEBEC.

We have received papers from Halifax (Nova Scotia),
and Quebec. the former of which reach. down to the
ght of March. They contain nothing of particular
importance; but all the accounts they give relative to
the prosperity of the country are of a satisfactory nature.
The following extract relates,to tipper Canada :
•' The beneficial ejects of the late commercial regu-
lations are beginning.to develope themselves in a man-
ner which cannot fad of;being highly satisfactory to the
country. To the farmer in particular, the subject is one
of a most interesting atiAkcheeringnature.-Pis produce
now commands a fair price, and is purchased with avi-
dity in the Lower Cana4a markets: ' The depression
which was fosmerly felt passing away, and the pro-.
spect is animating. Indeed, in everything which relates
to the trade of Canada, the most favourable disposition
has been evinced by the !Ministry; `and it is only re.
quired on our parts, thee** alrould show an ability to
supply the markets *grown open to us. -This applies
particularly to the West Indit.; and although it has
been objected, that we art not adequate to supply the
demands of that market, the objection we•think has
been made by those who have but a very.incorrect idea
of the cliantities of wheatand flour which Canada, with
her rapidly increasing population, is capable of furnish.
ing, it a market it insured for her where they-can be
disposed of." • . _

At- ;he annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, j
held at Halifax, for the purpose of examining into, and
reporting on, the progress of the commercial interests
of the place, the following resolution was agreed upon
" It is with feelings of much pleasure and satisfaction
that the Chamber have to communicate the gratifying
fact, that during the past-.year a-considerable extension
of oer trade has taken place, and the consequence has
been a large increase in the tonnage of our shipping;
and whilst the port of Halifax can now boast a class of
vesseli generally much improved, there are many of the
most superior description. These 'Were some of the
