CANADA

The Fete de Dieu procession took place at St. Roche,
Quebec, on Sunday last. The streets were beautifully deco-
rated with flags and the number of persons present was im-
mense.

Mr. Cunard's steam-ship Unicorn, is expected the coming
week at Quebec, to take the Governor-General to Halifax.
Up to the 20th inst., 535 vessels had arrived at Quebec,
being an increase of 47 over the arrivals to the same period
last_year.

Tlie number of emigrants arrived at Quebec to the 20th
inst., show an increase over the same period last year of
11,033.
The Toronto Herald of the 22d gives the particulars of a
fire which occurred in a house on the corners of York and
Newgate streets in that city. The fire was soon extinguished,
but a spark had fallen from the floating embers on or near the
Theatre, and a more serious tire than the first one raged for
about three hours. The buildings consumed were occupied
by Messrs. Williams, cabinet makers ; J. Mirfield, tavern
keeper ; Bickerstaff, painter ; Denham, smith ; Connell, fur-
rier ; Putnam, grocery keeper ; Harris's grocery, and Kit-
sen's tavern ; besides many other small places were pulled
down, to stop the progress of the flames.

!HAVANA AND MEXICO.
GREAT STORM AT HAVANA.—On the 29th and 30th
May, Havana and the country in the interior were visited
by a tremendous storm. The rain fell in incessant torrents;
all the small streams were swelled to rivers ; many planta-
tions were damaged ; and it was supposed several lives were
lost.
The consul of Spain, residing at Vera Cruz, has notified
the authorities of Havana, that the government has made
the following official publication :
" Art. I.—The ports of Sissal, of the island of Carmen and
Bacalar, in the department of Yucatan, are closed for the
foreign anti coast trade.

" 2.—The closing of the first of these ports to foreign com-
merce, shall have effect in six months after the publication of
this notice.

" 3.—The closing of the other three ports to the coasting
trade, shall take effect after the 6th of June."
One of the editors, remarking on the above, thinks it ra-
ther laughable, that a government that has not a single ves-
sel to send afloat, should order the blockade of ports, the in-
habitants of which have vessels .enough to carry on a good
commerce.—New Orleans -Bulletin.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-07-17

YUCATAN

The Peninsula is disenthralled. She has redeemed herself.
Despotism has been resisted, and :overthrown—the hired
minions of St. Anne have been expelled from the soil of
Yucatan, and the sturdy yeomanry of the Peninsula are
now a nation of freemen, peaceably and sedately governing
themselves. We learn, by the arrival of several vessels yes-
terday from Mexico, that, on the 3d or 4th instant, the
central troops in Campeachy capitulated to the republican
farmers and their marine, by which the place was invested:
The mildest terms were granted to the misguided men who
there stood out for the Mexican absolutists, and all that
could be persuaded by their commander to take that step
were furnished with a safe conveyance to Vera Cruz. Very
few of the soldiers, however, could be persuaded to leave
the free city of Campeachy, as it was considered by them
after the constitutionalists had taken possession of it.
Gen. Anaye and Com. Riboud were at Merida, the capital
of Yucatan. We learn that they have remained there
throughout the struggle, the republicans declining to accept
their offered services, on the ground that they themselves
were able, without aid from any quarter, to expel the in-
solent usurpers from their soil.—Daily dress.

SPLENDID PICTURE OF THE "PRESIDENT'

STEAM SHIP,

The readers of the STANDARD, and the public generally,
are respectfully informed, that on Friday, the 31st of
July instant, will be presented gratuitously to subscri-
bers and purchasers of the paper of that day a beau-
tiful Picture of the PRESIDENT, the largest Steam-
ship in the world, to be lithographed by a first-rate
Artist, from a splendid painting by Mr. S. Walters,
a gentleman of the highest celebrity as a Marine
Painter. This Picture will be accompanied by a full
and authentic description of the vessel, her construc-
tion, engines; and equipments.
The production of this work of art will be attended with
very considerable cost ; but the liberal patronage
with which the STANDARD has been honoured, in-
duces us to make this sacrifice, in testimony of our
gratitude, and in the hope that to a commercial and
nautical community such a present may be found
acceptable.

As we anticipate a large sale on the day in question, a
more favourable opportunity could not be presented
for the wide circulation of advertisements, which we
respectfully solicit.
To parties desirous of obtaining Pictures, we suggest an
early application at the office, where a book will be
kept . for the insertion of names, in order that the
earliest and beSt impressions may be secured.

The Great Westera arrived at her moorings in King-

York on the Ist instant, and accomplished the voyage
in 13 days and S hours. She brought 152 passengers,
a larger number than on any former occasion. In

the New York papers of the latest dates. The Bank-

Bill was out of Committee, and likely to be passed

There is no news of importance from Canada.

It is not a little surprising to observe the indiffe-
rence manifested, by our great commercial commu-

before their eyes that from the incapable being, to
whose care our foreign interests and our national
honour is committed, they have nothing, or worse than
nothing to expect, the mercantile and manufacturing

interests appear wholly indisposed to assume that re-
solute tone of remonstrance which, if once generally
adopted, might at least draw public attention to, if
it cannot at once arrest, the disgraceful betrayal of
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-07-17

turity ; and although it is believed that no 'great injury has recently
been done which may not yet be recovered by fine warm weather,
there is now too great a prospect of a late and precarious harvest ;
and this remark is applicable to a circuit of 100 miles around us,
and to a great portion of Ireland . in consequence of which, and
the advance in the value of Grain iu various influential markets,
we experienced considerable excitement here in the Corn trade
during the past week . an advance of 3d to 6d per 701 b on Wheat,
and 6d to 9d per barrel on Flour, free and in bond, was demanded,
and in several instances obtained; but the appearance of the
weather being more settled on Friday and Saturday last, the specu.
lative spirit subsided, and prices could not be got much, if at all,
exceeding these of last Tuesday. •
The duties on Grain from foreign ports remain exactly the same
as in the preceding week, and it is no easy matter to anticipate time
time when any reduction in the duties may occur. Some parcels
of Wheat and Flour, in bond, have however, changed hands at
fully our last quotations, and the importers and holders appear
generally pretty confident.
At this (lay's market we had a thin attendance, and the settled
appearance of the weather counteracted the advance yesterday in
Mark-lane so that the transactions were only to a very moderate
extent, and at about the prices of this day week.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 13

There is an improved demand for Butter, and prices are a shade
higher, Os having been obtained for the liner qualities.—Farmers
are engaged in hay-making, supplies of Butter have consequently
not been abundant,—this circumstance has had a marked effect
upon pickled seconds, which are full 5s per cwt. higher.—Beef is
steady, and the demand for Pork has increased considerably, at an
advance of 5s per barrel.—Bacon is in moderate request at 48s to
525.

BUENOS AYRES

BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 22,1840.—Y0ur esteemed favour,
per Spider, is to hand, and we thank you for the information
it contains. We have not been so regular in our correspond-
ence of late, having little or nothing of interest to communi-
cate. Another emission of twelve millions funds, at 60 per
cent., was sanctioned on the 28th inst. This measure has
already caused a further depreciation of our currency, al-
though the emission does not take place immediately, but in
all the year, as may be required. Doubloons are at 350 dol-
Lrs currency each. Exchange on England ,2 9-16ths per
dollar; on Monte Video 21 to 22 dollars per. ?atacone.
General Rosas has accepted the nomination of governor
for the term of six months only, and we see no immediate
prospect of his making an arrangement with the French.
General Lavalleis at the head of a large force in the province
of Enterios, stated to be 5000 or 6000 men, well disciplined
and officered, and by the latest abcounts was within fifteen
leagues of the capital of that province, and had gained some
important advantages over Rosas' arms. A short time must
determine the contest.

The quantity of hides held by German Houses alone, is
estimated at 450,000, besides many other large parcels by
other foreign houses. The quantity of wool, skins. and other
produce is also very large, and sufficient to load 250 or more
average sized vessels."

Mr. Cunard's steam-ship Unicorn, is expected the coming

Up to the 20th inst., 535 vessels had arrived at Quebec,
being an increase of 47 over the arrivals to the same period
last year.
The number of emigrants arrived at Quebec to the 20th

The Toronto Herald of the 22d gives the particulars of a
fire which occurred in a house on the corners of York and
Newgate streets in that city. The tire was soon extinguished,
but a spark had fallen from the floating embers on or near the
Theatre, and a more serious fire than the first one raged for
about three hours. The buildings consumed were occupied
by Messrs. Williams, cabinet makers ; J. Mirfield, tavern
keeper ; Bickerstaff, painter ; Denham, smith ; Connell, fur-
rier ; Putnam, grocery keeper ; Harris's grocery, and Kit-
sen's tavern ; besides many other small places were pulled
down, to stop the progress of the flames.

►HAVANA AND MEXICO.
GREAT STORM 'AT HAVANA.--On the 29th and 30th
May, Havana and the country in the interior were visited
by a tremendous storm. The rain fell in incessant torrents;
all the small streams were swelled to rivers ; many planta-
tions were damaged ; and it was supposed several lives were
lost.

The consul of Spain, residing at Vera Cruz, has notified
the authorities of Havana, that the government has made
the following official publication :
" Art. I.—The ports of Sissal, of the island of Carmen and
Bacalar, in the department of Yucatan, are closed for the
foreign and coast trade.

" 2.—The closing of the first of these ports to foreign cool-
merce, shall have effect in six months after the publication of
this notice.

"3.—The closing of the other three ports to the coasting
trade, shall take effect after the 6th of June."
One of the editors, remarking on the above, thinks it ra-
ther laughable, that a government that has not a single ves-
sel to send afloat, should order the blockade of ports, the in-
habitants of which have vessels enough to carry on a good
commerce.—New Orleans Bulletin.

YUCATAN

The Peninsula is disenthralled. She has redeemed herself.
Despotism has been resisted, and overthrown—the hired
minions of St. Anne have been expelled from the soil of
Yucatan, and the sturdy yeomanry of the Peninsula arc
now a nation of freemen, peaceably and sedately governing
themselves. We learn, by the arrival of several vessels yes-
terday from Mexico, that, on the 3d or 4th instant, the
central troops in Campeachy capitulated to the republican
farmers and their marine, by which the place was invested.
The mildest terms were granted to the misguided men who
there stood out for the Mexican absolutists, and all that
could be persuaded by their commander to take that step
were furnished with a sate conveyance to Vera Cruz. Very
few of the soldiers, however, could be persuaded to leave
the free city of Campeachy, as it was considered by them
after the constitutionalists bad taken possession of it.
Gen. Anaye and Corn. Riboud were at Merida, the capital
of Yucatan. We learn that they have remained there
throughout the struggle, the republicans declining to accept
their offered services, on the ground that they themselves
were able, without aid from any quarter, to expel the in-
solent usurpers from their soil.—Daily E.zpress.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 14
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)

Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal
from Ireland, Coastways, and from foreign ports, have been very
small.

The weather has continued unseasonably cold, with frequent
heavy showers, during the past three weeks, and has very much
impeded the progress of Hay-making ; but drying winds have gene-
rally prevailed, and a good deal of Hay has thus been secured in
pretty good order; reports, however, more than ever confirm the
previously adopted opinion of very light crops of this article, with
very hew partial exceptions ; the deficiency of summer heat and
sunshine protracts the progress of the crops of Grain towards ma.

THE SHIP TWEED

A letter was read from Messrs. Bold and Mackie, agents
to the owners of the ship Tweed, requesting to be released
from the payment of the Queen's Graving Dock dues, amount-
ing to £135. After a short discussion in which it was stated
that the compensation of £2OOO. for damage to the Tweed
included all liabilities of the dock estate, and that it was un-
derstood the dock dues were to be paid by the owner, the ap-
plication, as we understood, was refused.

THE VICTORIA CIIANNE

The MARINE SURVErOR submitted a recommendation
that the dredging process should be commenced in the Vic-
toria channel on the 27th inst., and be continued for two

months, in 48 working days. It appeared that on or about
the Bth inst., H. M. S. Urgent had struck on the bar at the
entrance to the channel, and Captain Beazley in consequence
called the attention of the Marine Surveyor to it. The Ma-
rine Surveyor explained how this happened, but intimated
that by the soundings he had made yesterday he found the
bar and channel to be in exactly the same state as they were

at this period last year. If there were any change at all, he
thought the sand on the bar had become somewhat coarser.
The dredging process was not therefore absolutely. necessary,
but at the same time it might be advisable to apply it. as the
expense would be very trifling.
Mr. HORSFALL said the simple question was, whether
there was any good to be done by it.

The SEcnir-AnY, to show the importance of the Victoria

passed through the several channel entrances to the port
between the Ist January and the Ist July inclusive. It ap•
peared that 6678 had passed through the Victoria channel
147 through the old New channel, 1169 through the hal
tide channel Swashway channel, and 335 throuel
channel. No register had

Mr. BULLY inquired what proportion of the expense ol
