STATE OF CANADA

(From our own Correspondent.)

MONREAII, .
Little new has transpired during the past MAY 14
week. The
House of Assembly still continues in session, and unwisely,
for the effect is only to keep up the excitement, which is,
however, a good deal allayed at present, though far from
being subsided, and especially in the country parts.
The question has considerably changed its form, or
rather is being discussed in a new light. From the merits
of a Rebel Indemnity Bill, the discussion has been carried
to the question of responsible government, and whether
according to this form of government Lord Elgin did
right or wrong in sanctioning the bill. He hirilself, in
answer to addresses, together with the ministerial party,
assert that he could not have taken any other course than
the one he has taken, without violating the principles of
government he was bound to carry out. The conserva-
tives
on the other hand assert that this bill could not be
considered of a local character, and that in duty to his
country and to his sovereign he was bound to have reserved
it.

possess as a nation—that naval supremacy, which
has hitherto enabled us to defy the combined arms
of the world. But will the insatiable selfishness
and rapacity of these men stop here? Is this to
be the last sacrifice, or only the beginning of a
course, which is not to be arrested until every
institution of the country, and every class, save
their own, are involved in one common ruin ? We
fear that the latter is intended; and that the loyal
portion of the community must either prepare for
a vigorous and combined struggle, or set their
houses in order until it shall please their grasping
enemies to knock at the doors.
It is the want of this combined resistance to
aggression which has precipitated the present blow
against the maritime interests of the empire; and
we fear that those who are now called upon to
suffer will not meet with a very great amount of
public sympathy. Not a few of our shipowners,
either coquetted with the free-trade party, or stood
by, passive spectators, whilst the agriculturist was
submitted to their tender mercies. Our West
India colonies were permitted to be ruined without
any strenuous effort being made in their behalf.
We do not refer to this, now, to add to the poig-
nancy of defeat, but to read a lesson for future
guidance. United action must now be the watch-
word of those who would rally with success around
the institutions of the country.

" Enormous lying," it has been openly confessed,
was the instrumentality by which the Reform Bill
was carried ; and, although we shall not make use
of so hard a term, we must say that enormous mis-
representation and ignorance have had much to do
with the verdict given by Parliament upon the
Government bill for the repeal of all protection
upon British shipping. Mr. Porter's " cooked "
statistics, consular reports got up for the occasion,
the confusion of navigation-law restrictions with
those created by Customs regulations, along with
an apparent want of any acquaintance, on the part
of Parliament and the public, with the actual fea-
tures of the present system, have afforded to the
advocates of the ministerial bill facilities for mysti-
fication, which were never before, in our experience,
brought to bear upon any important question. We
have before us an article, contained in the Man-
chester guardian of Wednesday last, which is full
of the errors and misrepresentations to which we
have referred; and, although the time has passed
by when the Plieiting of truth could effect any
practical good, we shall bestow a few rcinarks upon
our contemporary's lucubrations.
After a preliminary confession that the measure
of Government was not called for by the public,—
that "it is a measure which has been little under-
stood, for which no demand was made, and which,
even when proposed, excited but little interest or
sensation,"--the Guardian proceeds to give the
following account of the existing law :

Some revulsion of feeling has taken place in Upper
Canada on this subject, in consequence of the outrages
which have been committed in Montreal. And truly in
every sense they are to be deplored. It is true there was
:3—and bitter cause—to call forth any expression of
exasperation ; the acts, however, to which it gave effect
were of a suicidal nature, coming as they did from the
hands of loyalists. The loss of our provincial libraries,
though they contained many rare works which cannot be
replaced, is not the worst lass, nor yet are the records,
nor the houses of parliament. The consequences most to
be deplored are, in the first place, the tendency towards
annexation, and the second, weakening the credit of the
country. The former, by rendering more bitter an
already too bitter party strife, and the fact of loyalists
being those by whom these outrages have been committed,
and those by whom annexation itself is threatened, rather
than submit to a radical majority.
There were some disturbances in this city last week,
from an attack made by a mob on an hotel where the
ministry were giving a dinner to a deputation from Upper
Canada. The windows of the hotel were smashed in with
stones, and the door broken open. One or two pistol
photo were fired from within, and a couple of men
wounded.

It would be well if those by whom her Majesty
is at present advised, would reflect upon the possi-
ble consequences of persisting in their deatruotive
policy, and sacrificing class after class to manufac-
turing selfishness. The politician of the Manchester
school, in addition to cheap foreign corn, has now
secured cheap freights, and reduced wages of
sailors, carpenters, and others engaged in maritime
pursuits. Will those classes submit long to endure
their present burthen of taxation, to pay the exist-
ing civil list, salaries, and other branches of the
public expenditure, to use taxed timber, which the
foreigner can have untaxed at his own door, and to
pay excise and customs duties upon every article
which they consume ? Undoubtedly they will
not. Nay more, they cannot. We insist upon the
British artizan and seaman engaging in a race of
competition with the foreigner, and he will demand
to be at least permitted to start fair. It is not an
equal struggle between the , enormously taxed
Englishman and the lightly taxed foreigner. The
interest of eight hundred millions of debt will be a
heavy clog upon the heels of the former. It is not
a fair contest, either, between a nation, which has
to meet all its engagements in gold, and one whose
internal commerce is conducted through the agency
of a cheaper and more expansive medium.
current of public opinion will inevitably set in one
or other of these directions, so soon as the full
pressure to be created by our present policy is felt;
and we are not at all certain that it has not so set
in already. The British people pride themselves
upon the unswerving faith which they have always
kept with the national creditor; but even that faith
may not stand the test of continual insult and
injury directed against the producing and toiling
millions by a monied aristocracy, which absorbs so
large a share of the products of their soil.

Addresses of condolence are being sent in to the go-
vernor from different parts of the country. Both ad-
dresses and answers are much to the same effect as those
already published.

The spring ships are beginning to arrive, but business is
still dull.

MONDAY EVENING.
The previous contracted nature of our mercantile ope-
retiong has not at all expanded under the influence
of the America's advices. In some respects they are
decidedly favourable, and in others, iron, for instance,
the reverse; but no improvement in any department has
become manifest to-day. The accounts of the extent
of cotton receipts, and the contradiction of any serious in-
jury to the growing crop, may set us a-going after the
holidays, particularly if the armistice so often fictitiously
reported between the Danes and Schleswig-Holsteiners
should actually supervene, and the blockade be suspended,
of which, indeed, the German houses appear to entertain
sanguine expectations by entering so largely into stock.
The greatest danger to be feared at present is the Russian
intervention in Hungary, which is calculated to involve
other great European powers in a quarrel which otherwise
might have been broughtto a speedier settlement.
Iron is still neglected in America, prices being rather
lower than last noted. Our market for Scotch Pig Iron
is consequently very inanimate, and the quotation to-day
is 42/6 for mixed numbers, and 43/6 @ 44/ for No. 1
Gartsherrie, f.o.b. at Glasgow.
The demand for Sugar continues : 200 hhds. Barbadoes
and 100 Antigua were sold on Saturday at full rates, and
1000 bags good and fine Benares at rather easier rates.
There is also a very good inquiry for Saltpetre, and 3000
bags changed hands on Saturday at 25/3 for very low, up
to 28/ for 2 per cent. refraction. Nitrate moves off at-
-11/,..and Molasses at previous rates. 300 casks of Jamaica
Cofee (of the new crop)will be offered to-morrow (Tues-
day).
The receipts of Cotton at the American ports still con-
tinue heavy, and they make it evident the crop will
amount to at least 2,600,000 bales, which imparts to the
market here a tendency to rather easier prices. It also
appears that the growing crops have received very little
injury, as in many parts the plant was not up when the
frost took place, and where damage has actually resulted,
it is not to the extent previously supposed. At our mar-
ket to-day the sales- were moderate, comprising about
5000 to 6000 bales including 1000 for export, buyers (the
attendance of whom from Manchester was not large)
having great choice. It must, however, be mentioned
that there is never much doing in the manufacturing dis-
tricts during Whitsun week, those who are not holiday-
making being employed in cleaning the mills, &c,
The London sales of Wool have terminated, at prices
not quite so good as at the commencement. There are a
few continental buyers here, but, waiting the sale adver-
tised for to-morrow, quotations remain the same as last
week.
There is more doing in American Beef and Pork since
Friday ; and as the American advices report a good de-
mand for Lard, with firm prices, it is probable that, not-
withstanding-our heavy imports, this- article will continue
to maintain,its value. At this period of the year, how-
ever, as the season is nearly over, prices at the other side
do not produce any very marked result here,, the demand
in our own markets being the principal regulator of prices.
Bacon is rather lower on the week for ordinary to mid-
dling sorts, whilst fine Western and Eastern have been
sold at fully former rates. Long Middles. eastern cure,
not free from taint, have been sold at 34/6,, Short Middles
34/6 to 36/'; Light Long Middles, rib in, are wanted for
the Dublin market. Hams have again declined in value ;
the quantity sold during the week has been fair, at 27/ to
31/ for ordinary, up to 38/ for tine long cut. Shoulders
have sold freely at 24/6 to 25/, and higher prices are now
asked. The demand for good Cheese still continues, at
full prices, though middling and low qualities may be
obtained at lower rates.
The highest quotation for the best descriptions of Car-
rick and Waterford Butter is now 76/, a further depres-
sion, at which only a tardy business has been transacted.
The arrivals this week of Irish Provisions amount to 6826
firkins, 831 crocks of Butter, 116 bales of Bacon, and 10
hhds. of Hams : both these latter articles sell slowly.
We have given full particulars of the Corn trade in a
separate article.

It is really strange that we should have heard so
little of all these dire threats on the part of Russia
and Prussia, before these courts were furnished
with Whig-Radical plenipotentiaries to• prompt
them as to the kind of demands they should make
upon our excessive liberality. Our contemporary
may depend upon it, however, that they will con-
tinue to take from us any produce " which we can
supply to them advantageously," notwithstanding
their present bluster. It is not correct, however,
that our "great warehousing system "• is- at all in
danger from either of these countries. The real
danger is in admitting their shipping upon equal
terms into our colonies, a policy which all practical
men aamit will be fatal to our warehousing system,
of which our long voyage trade has been the
foundation and mainstay. Will any reasonable
man contend that after a Russian or a Prussian
captain has got on board a cargo of sugar or cotton,
in the West Indies, or in Cuba, he will bring it to
Liverpool, or London, to be warehoused, for future
consumption in Russia or Prussia, when he can
warehouse at half the cost, and save dock dues and
other charges, by taking it home direct ? The
notion is preposterous ; and equally so is the claim
which the Guardian, seems to think Russia and
Prussia put forward, as of right, for admission to
our colonial markets as carriers to and from this
country. It cannot be supposed that these countries
have any right to interfere with the carrying trade
from one portion of the British dominions to.
another; and Jamaica ought to be little less dear
to us than Bristol. We are not aware that either
Russia or Prussia contribute anything towards the
maintenance of our colonial possessions; and until
they do so, or are prepared with colonies of their
own to allow us to trade to in return, we shall con-
sider that they have just as much right to ask us
to grant them a subsidy now and then. By the
way, it was generally imagined that, when we ad-
mitted the corn and timber of the Baltic into our
markets, we had done as much as was required of
us for these countries; but some people's con-
sciences seem to stick at nothing.

THE Towsr TO BE SOLD.—Who'll buy a town ?—a
very pretty town indeed—the town of Parkgate, which
has above all other towns the singular privilege of being
sold by auction. Many a town has been battered to
pieces, but Parkgate is only to be brought to the hammer.
The whole advertisement in which it occurs, indeed is
worthy of perusal, for it is so graphic in its business-like
terseness, that it bring under our view a complete Picture
of " hills, and dales, and lawns, and gilded towers, and
glittering streams." We glance over all the concomitants
of rich rural scenery ; groves and orchsrds ; green en-
chanting slopes and sunny villages; comfortable farm-
steads, surrounded with lowing cattle, dusty roads and
pleasant hedgerows, over which are wafted delicious
scents of hawthorn, of primroses, garden flowers, and
fresh grass : and fading in the dim blue of day, we catch
glimpses of the bright estuary and the gray outline of the
Welsh hills. Read the advertisement, and see if all this
and much more be not realised. Every facility will be
afforded to visitors to this delightful and favourite water-
ing place, and on the days of sale, we understand that
omnibuses will meet the trains at Hooton station, which
is only distant about three miles from Parkgate.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, a man named Ste-
phen M'Cade, aged 42, met with his death under the
following shocking circumstances :—He had been work-
ing on board the ship Constellation, in the Salisbury
Dock, and in attempting to get on shore by means of a
rope, extending from the stern of the vessel to the dock
quay, fell on his head, the back of which came in violent
contact with the stones, by which he received fractures of
the skull, which terminated fatally a fow hours afterwards
at the Northern Hospital.

M~Rsr

DEATH rnom CHOLERA.—We regret to learn that a
respectable man, named M'Crum, a master tailor, living
in Bridgewater-street died yesterday morning, at two
o'clock, of that fearful} disease—cholera. The unfortunate
deceased was not attacked until two o'clock on Sunday
afternoon, and was, therefore, ill only twelve hours. He
attended divine service at St. Barnabas' church on Sun-
day morning, apparently in his usual health.
THE PUNJAUD FINANCIALLY AND POLITICALLY CON-
SIDERED.—In a financial point of view (says the India
correspondent of the Times), there appears little appre-
hension in regard to the Punjab, and on this there had
been misgiving ; a present revenue of at least a million
and a half will amply bear the extra military charges and
civil establishments -which will be needed ; nor can it be'
doubted that under a mild Government, and the encour-
agements of trading operations, cessations of transit
duties and other vexatious imposts, the revenue will im-
prove. Already have some very able men been appointed
to the civil charge of the state, and in a short time we
ehall hear of the consolidation of our power throughout
the land. I have no apprehension on any score ; and as
you have sent Sir Charles Napier as Commander in Chief,
there can be no doubt that his own experience and per-
sonal activity will be earnestly lent to the suppression of
any temporary revolt, and the
.extinction, as in Scinde,
of every chance of organized resistance to our power,
