against the buccaneer Bill Johnson, among the Thousand
Isles. About 200 of the 32d regiment have gone from Hamil-
ton, Upper Canada, to the Short Hills, and on Saturday 250
more regulars were on their march from St. Catherine's to
the same destination; also Governor Arthur with 100 from-
Queenston. General Clitherow has arrived at Montreal.
It is rumoured the Patriots at the Short Hills robbed the
Dutchman whose house they burned of 2000 dollars. Chaund-
ler, their leader, before he was arrested, snapped his musket
and knocked down two or three of the assailants with the but
end of it. The person who was ploughing in the field, and
with whom he was conversing, was shot. Chaundler was
summarily tried, and to be shot, it is said, on Monday last.
The Patriots are said to have five magistrates, whom they
threaten to hang if Chaundler is executed. The regulars and
militia in the v►cinity of the Short Hills exceed 1500—the
Patriots number GOO. It is again rumoured Bill Johnson
has destroyed the William IV. steamer.

MONEY MARKET-CITY NEWS.

Friday, p.m.
A report is in general circulation in Wall-street, that Mr.
Biddle will be here in a week or ten days, for the purpose of
making arrangements for opening his new bank or branch;
and further, that bank certificates of the western banks will
be receive4at. very favourable rates. Whether the report is
well or ill founded we cannot say. Now the sub-treasury is
defeated, it is a natural Sapposiiion that Mr. Biddle will take
early steps to carry into effect the establishment of his bank;
and any arrangement that can be made by which southern
funds can be turned into cash will produce a most beneficial
effect.. The public are suffering beyond all account from the
great difficulty negotiating. lf the exchanges on the south
can he brought down to 5 or- 8 per cent., instead of 8 or 20,
as they now are, it will be most acceptable.
The Stock Market yesterday was again active without any
material alteration in prices. No sales of United States
Bank were made. No change has taken place of any con-
sequence in domestic exchange, or in current money. There
has been, as yet, but little demand for bills on Europe for
transmission by the Bristol steam-boat Sirius. Drawers have
in consequence lowered their rate. The asking prices are 8
to 81- per cent. premium on England.
The Atlantic Marine has declared a half-yearly dividend
of 15 per cent. _ _ .

The United States Fire Insurance Company has declared
a half-yearly dividend of 5 per cent.
The Tradesmen's Bank has declared a half-yearly dividend

The Lafeyette Bank has declared a half-yearly dividend .)f.

EXTRACT OP A LETTER FROM QUEBEC, DATED JUNE 23. •
" We are all sadly vexed at a report of the intended resig-
nation of Sir John Colborne, a man who has united the mild-
ness of a parent and the energy afa soldier—one whose aim,
whilst in the Upper Province and before the disturbances,
was to exert himself to the utmost to assist and improve the
situation of the numerous emigrants who proceeded to that
province. From proceedings at the Castle which have
leaked out, a war with our neighbours is not a little talked of.
Lord Durham has sent for Sir John Harvey. Trade at
Montreal, and in the Upper Province especially, is very
bad."

THE WEATHER.—The continued succession of heavy
showers which have fallen during the past week has been very
unfavourable to the hay-field: Yesterday the rain came down
in torrents. The farmers are anxiously looking for fair
weather, as the grass in this part is now being injured for
want of cutting. The crops of grass are abundant, but it is
feared that much will be spoiled in the getting.—Blackburn

GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAMWAy.—II is stated, that

way through the county of Durham, the parliamentary line

at Shincliff, use will be made of splendidtC)i4iin?eiiry cutting
Bridge recently
erected across the River Wear at Fattield. Economy, and
a regard for the interests of the proprietors as well as the
public, certainly suggests the propriety of this course.—

It has been officially announced that the Durham Junc-
tion Railway, which is tributary to that prosperous under-
taking, the Stanhope and Tyne railway, will be opened in

of shipment on the river Tyne to the rich and exten-
sive'

toWear, and may therefore be expected to brine. a vast addition

A CONVERTED POLITICIAN.—About a month • since, a
veteran reformer called Edmund Hall, of Ashton-under-
Lyne, had occasion to be in London, and- having business
to do, and wanting the assistance of a member of parliament,
he applied to all the liberal members whom he could think
of from Lancashire, but not one of them gave him a satisfac;
tory answer. He then applied to Lord Francis Egerton,
M.P., for the county, who gave him the assistance he wanted.
This kindness on the part of his lordship has so worked upon
the old radical's feelings, that he has since he returned from
Lo'ndon joined the Operative Conservatives, and last week
he gave an account of his conversion, from what he had
always caller liberal principles. He now states that although
he has been a radical for forty years, he will now live and die
a conservative.—Bolton Chronicle - - -

During the past week the Duke of Wellington, as consta-
ble of the 'rower, paid a visit to the Ordnance Map and
Chart-office, in the Tower, attended by the officers attached
to his staff as field-marshal, and other military gentlemen of
distinction. They were received in due form by the brave
Colonel Coleby, who introduced the illustrious chief and his
companions in arms to the venerable Mr. Baker, the prin-
cipal engraver. The distinguished visitants beheld with
astonishment the enormous plates whereon are engraven the
various parts of the globe, with its seas and continents; and
Mr. Baker then, by oral explanation and the exhibition of
machinery, demonstrated the process of reducing the size of
the maps and charts for the us'e of the mariner and the guid-
ance of the overland traveller. His Grace paid Mr. Baker
and the artists under his charge a very high but well-merited
compliment. It may not be improper to correct an opinion
which has been fur many years prevalent. Mr. Baker here
alluded to is the benevolent individual who for many years
visited the condemned cells of Newgate, and who is generally
spoken and written of es a clergyman.—Globe.
