IMPORTANT mavircs FROM
CANADA.

The Ldndon-line packet-ship Wellington, which
rived at Dartmouth, on Wednesday evening last, has
brought intelligence of the renewal of disturbances in
Canada. Private correspondence corroborates the facts
detailed in the American papers, so that no doubt can
be entertained of the truth of these reports. The disaf-
fected party, commanded by General Renssellaer and
other rebel commanders, have again taken the field.
Their numbers are estimated at from 800 to 1000 men.
Every means bad been taken by the loyalists to defeat
their objects. By some private letters we learn that an
attempt was made in Lower Canada to effect a rising in
that quarter.
With regard to commercial affairs the papers state that
the subtreasury scheme reMained 'still undisposed of in
the senate. The pieinium upon good European bills
had declined nearly three per cent from the last advices,
and the market exhibited tokens of a still further de-
cline. Money was also very scarce. We have bat
space for the following extracts, but which contain Most
important information relative to the renewal of the

(From the New York Evening Star, Feb. 19.

The Patriots are again breaking into the public depositories
of arms. The council room at Cleveland, Ohio, was broke
into on the night of the 9th of February, and 17 stand of arms
taken off by one of the gentry.

, The patriots are in motion again, as before announced, about
Sandusky and Toledo, Ohio, On Feb. 6th, " the army," so
called, under Gen. 111‘Leod and Col. Start,
.commenced their
movements at Sandusky city for the islands opposite. Col.
Sutherland and a remnant of the Navy Island band reached
Toledo the evening of the 6th from Tecumseh. They, had' an
ammunition waggon drawn by four white horses. On one of
the boxes was a tall man with sandy hair, supposed, to be Van
Reusaellaer.• Au advanced guard (4'70 were at Monroe on the
sth, and some 3or 400 were behind with some Cattataugus
diens. St. Clair, above Detroit, is supposed to be the point of
rendezvous.

Extract of a Letter to a Gentleman in this City, dated in
Vermont, Feb. 11,1838.

The Canada fever is in some degree revived here. It is
supposed that au incursion into the lower province is soon to
be made, and at the same time a general rising is to take place.
The arms and munitions of war collected and purchased in this
state (Vermont), have, in the course of the last week, been
transported to_the frontier. From the increased vigilance
in the province, and the collecting of arms and then it is ap-
parent that the plans of the patriots have been communicated
to the Canadian government. The efforts of the patriots, I
think, must fail. The force of the government is too great to be
overcome by the means now in the hands of the revolutionists.
We are expecting every day to hear of the attempt to enter the
province.

The following letter, written by a highly respectable
merchant in New York, and addressed to the editor of
the London Standard, affords additional evidence, if it'
indeed Were wanting, of the fatal policy pursued by the
government relative to the affairs of Canada :---

MoraunAL,,Feb. 13.—Ldrd Gosford, aftir feasting and car-
ousing with the heads of the French party, to the exelusiOn of
the British interest, was ready to take his leave o us, when,
unfortunately, his lordship experienced a fall, and, not falling.
on his head, is suffering frem the effect's of it. This will delay
his departure for eight or ten days, and, whilst he remains in
the country, the government remains with him.
" This is most annoying to us, as every day he remains
considered an infliction. Sir John Colb.orne was to have been
sworn in this very day. The prisons will be kept filled lUnger
than we had hoped. Mr. Antlrew Stuart, of Quebec, is going,
home to join in representing to her Majesty's government the
absolute necessity or a legislative union of the two provinCes,
or the union.of Montreal to the upper province. We are deter-
mined, for the future, to have something to do with the manage-
ment of our own interests. It will no longer do to
,allow an
ignorant French patty to, have the commercial key of both pro-
vinces—to keep us in constant hot-water, and to prevent the
entrance of British poptilation and British capital. In short,.
we must be made more a British province to be enabled to show
our own, capabilities, and do justice to the resources of the
country, and the glory'of Great Britain.

The last division of the 34th regiment crossed the St. Law-
rence to Quebec on the 9th, without accident, and in high order,
One of Lord Gosford's last acts was ordering a day of thanks,
giving on the 26th, for the termination of the rebellion This
he it observed, is in the face of the martial law still existing, and
not without reason. No doubt it is to bolster up the fudge-.
fying loyal addresses,' which he is carrying home to lay at the
;foot of the Throne. Arrests still continue; notwithstanding.

MONET AND EXCHANGE.

Money is scarce, though there is no great difficulty in ob-
taining good notes, being discounted at 7 per cent. European
exchange fell a good deal. The business of packet day was
done chiefly at 71 down to fit for good and private bills on En-
gland, but the packet be,ing detained, further sales were Made,
and the price continued to drop, the last transaction being 5;
for prime bills,• and 5-1 for southern bins of unquestionable'
strength; some of the banks were large buyers, and at the rate
of their purchases they will procur'e ret.rni of specie below
par. In Stock, the business was extremely small, but appeared
rather better towards the close.

Further intelligence Worn Canada may riow be daily
expected, and will• be looked for with great anxiety,

REBELLION IN CUBA.

By the Leeward Island mail we'have'received our re-
gular file of papers, those from Jamaica reaching to the
Bth ult. Some insubordination had been displayed on
several of the largest estates on the west coast of De-
merara. The legislattire Or Montserrat had decided on
the final termination of the apprenticeship system on the
Ist of AUgust.
The Jamaica Kingston Chronicle of the 2d February
has the following extract
By a gentleman lately arrived at this port from Cuba, we re-
gret to learn the tidings of an insurrection among the negroes
orthat island. The revolt is stated to havelfoken out on the
12 inst., on a very extensive estate in the district of Triuidada,
which the rebels had burned down, along with two others. Se-
veral overseers and book-ke9rers httvei been killed; the pro-
prietors only saved themselves'oy flight.

By the last accounts they were completely surrounded, to the
number of 2000, by the militia, and there was every reason to
expect that they would, soon be crushed.

LIVERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN FXCHASGE, FRIDAY, 'Alit:CH*l6.

The arrivals into this port eoastwise and from Ireland since
Tuesday last comprehend 4040 quarters of Wheat, 536vBarliy
1208'Malt, 8410 Oats, 717 Pearls, 222 'Petie, 6085 sackS:Floirit
and nearly 14,000 sacks of Oatmeal, with 3'20 quarters of Fo::
reign Oats, exclusive of the contents of several Irish and round-
land vessels at hand, but not yet entered.

From the close of Tuesday's market until to-clay; transactions
is free Wheat have taken place upon a moderate scale on the
full termi then stated ; and thorigh in other artieles, during the
same period, nothing interesting occurred, prices_ remained
steady.

The millers having bought freely in the early part of the
week, and satisfied their wants, for the moment, were very
limited buyers to-day, and without the repetition of any specu
lative business, the best descriptions of Wheat barely supported
our lait quotations, and ordinary qualities were decidedly the
tiler) cheaper.
Flour; in consequenCe, was mutt difficult of sale, but without
any apparent change in value.
