LONDON LATEST NEWS.

City, Wednesday Evening, half-past Seven o'clock.

It is already well known to our Liverpool readers that Canada,
under the influence of Mr. Papineau and the French House of
Assembly, is almost in a state of open revolt against the mother
country, and that to the firmness of Lord Aylmer we are in-
debted that the English colonists preserve anything like an ap-
pearance of quietude and safety. Will it be credited that the
whig ministry have already resolved to truckle to the French
Canadian radicals, and that Lord Aylmer is to be forthwith
recalled? Yet such is absolutely the fact, and such was pub-
licly announced in the House of Commons last night. We
learn that on the first hint of this, Lord Amherst declined prd-
ceeding as commissioner to Canada, and it is not improbable
that an idea that this would be the result may have influenced
the destructive cabinet in this matter. But there is more in
this than meets the eye, and a little dissection makes a " very
ugly piece of business" of the matter, and shows that day by
day the influence of Mr. Daniel O'Connell and Anglo-lrish
faction is stretching over alike our home and our colonial inte-
rests. Mr. Papineau-is the sworn enemy of Lord Aylmer, and
the patron of Mr. Roebuck, one of Mr. O'Connell's English ,
tail. The assembly over which Mr. Papineau presides, re-
cently chose the said Mr. Roebuck as their agent in England,
and voted him £lOOO per annum, with sundry moneys for an
outfit, &c. The vote could not be carried into effect in conse-
quence of Lord Aylmer and the legislative council refusing
assent to any such appropriation. Mr. Papineau and Lord
Aylmer are, as we said, enemies in every sense of the word.
Lord Aylmer opposes the grant to Mr. Roebuck, ergo, lOrd
Aylmer and Mr. Roebuck are little other than opponents—
Mr. Roebuck is one of the joints of Mr. O'Connell's English
tail—Lord Melbourne and his popish cabinet are the tools of
Mr. Daniel O'Connell, for what that Mr. O'Connell asks dare
they refuse? and—Lord Aylmer is recalled !! ! As Crom-
well said of Sir Harry Vane, we may now say of the agitator—
the Lord preserve us from Mr. Daniel O'Connell. ,
Money continues exceedingly scarce with us, and the consol
market is very flat. Consols for the account closed this after-
noon at 92k. Exchequer hills and India Bonds have both re-
ceded. The former are 27 to 2fl prem., and the latter are 9to
11, a corroborative evidence of the scarcity we have alluded to.

The effect of this continues to be felt in our foreign secu-
rities, which are all flat. Celombian bontle.are 462 4, Mexican
4641, Spanish 671, the Scrip 71 prem., Portuguese 1011 Bra-
zilian 864, and all these have been considerably under these
prices. Colombian since our last having been 44, Spanish 664,
and Portuguese 100,1
We have a file of the Bermuda Royal Gazette to the Bth
April. The governor had been much indisposed; but, when
the accounts left, was convalescent. These papers furnish au
aggregate of the value of the imports and exports into and
f-om Bermuda in the year ending January 5, 1835. The im-
ports were to the amount of £106,980 9s. lid. sterling, and the
exports to £15,475 3s. sd. The vessels entered inwards were
to the number of 135, with a tonnage of 12,589; and those
entered outwards 142, with a tonnage of 13,254 tons. The
chief article of export was arrow-root, which, during the above
period, was exported to the amount of £3OOO. H. M. S. Cham-
pion had arrived at Bermuda from England; she sustained
some damage by running on the rocks at the entrance of the
channel near St. George. The legislature was to meet on the
Bth April.
Our accounts from Paris furnish us with a statement of the
present population of the French colonies. At Martinique
there were 34,492 free persons, and 79,767 slaves, being a total
of 124,849 persons. At Guadaloupe 25,810 free persons, and
99,039 slaves, being a total of 121,849 persons. At Bourbon
30,651 free persons, and 70,458 slaves, being a total of 101,109
persons. In French Guiana 4330 free persons, and 18,201
slaves, being a total of 22,531 persons. In Senegal 2970 free
persons, and:11,321 slaves. In India -152,901 free persons, of
which 151,702 are natives, and only 1199 Europeans. At St.
Pierre and Miguelon 905 free persons. and no slaves, making
a total of 252;060 free persons, and 278; 786 slaves, forming a
good total of 530,846.
We have reports this afternoon of disturbances having broken
out at Paris. We cannot trace them to any authentic source;
but it is more than probable the "trials" will not terminate
without something of the kind.
Notwithstanding the repeated victories of Zumalacarraguy,
we have reason to place the greatest faith in the accounts from
Spain we gave in our last, which we doubt not will be fully
borne out by the next advices, and which have already received
some corroboration.

LIVERPOOL CRAVEN MEETING.

These races, which amongst the sporting world have excited
considerable interest, as being the first spring meeting held upon
the Aintree course, commenced on Wednesday last, under the
auspices of the Hon. E. M. Ll. Mostyn and Sir James Boswell
as stewards. The weather, unfortunately, proved unpropitious,
'and the rain fell in torrents during the greater part of the day.
Notwithstanding, however, this disadvantage, the attendance
was greater than we ever saw at Maghull at a similar meeting,
and, from all appearances, the spring races bid fair to be,come
equally as popular as those in July. There was a imp concourse
of Manchester sportsmen present, who, by their spirited specu-
lations, afforded considerable interest to the race-loving com-
munity. • The drinking booths erected about the course were
not quite so numerous as at the July races, although abundantly
sufficient for refreshing the assembled multitude. The Grand
Stand was, as usual, occupied by Mr. Lynn of the Waterloo
Hotel, who, in the rooms below, provided a good and substantial
collation, which seemed to be partaken of pretty freely " by the
most respectable of the hungry." Mr. lowers, of the Angel
Hotel, Dale-street, also provided an excellent repast at the neat
and commodious erection occupied by him at every races, which
was liberally patronized. Owing to the admirable arrangements
made by Mr. Parlour, the superintendent of the borough police,
under the directions of the Mayor and county magistrates, there
was not one of those race-course pests called " thimble-riggers"
to be seen either on or in the neighbouyhood of the course. On
the high-road from Liverpool several of these gentry pitched
their tables, to take iu the unwary yokels as they passed towards
the races, but no sooner did the police get wind of the affair
than they were quickly routed. A poor Irishman from Belfast
was done out of seventeen sovereigns, the produce of the pig-
market, just as the police pounced upon the swindlers. The
table-keeper was secured, taken before a magistrate on the
course, and committed to Kirkdale. This was the only prisoner
apprehended during the day. which speakswell foi the efficiency
of the preventive police. Gaming-tables of every description
were effectually suppres,sed, both on the course and iu the
borough.
The 'Grand Stand was well filled ; there were, however, few
ladies who graced it with their presence, which was probably on
account of the disagreeable state of the weather. Amongst the
most distinguished of the visitors we noticed the Marquis of
Westminster, Lord Stanley, Captain Stanley, Sir Thomas
Stanley, Sir James Boswell, the lion. Thos. Stuart Wortley,
James Aspinall, Esq., (Mayor of Liverpool,) Peter Bourne,
Esq., Charles Lawrence, Esq., William Earle, Esq., William
Brown, Esq., the Hon. E. M. L. Mostyn, Esq., M.P., the Hon.
Mr. Mostyn, Joseph Peel, Esq., Francis Armstrong, Esq., the
Chevalier Mosca, E. G. Hornby, Esq., Pascoe Grenfell, Esq.,
Colonel Hornby, Captain Lynn, Captain Connor. Captain
M`Donald, the Rev. Griffiths Loyd, the Rev. Mr. Cotton, S. L.
Fox, Esq., Nanney, Esq., Sandys, Esq., Pond, Esq.,
of New York, &c. Previous to the commencement of the races
considerable betting took place touching the various events of
the day. The chief attraction was the trades' cup. For this
race General Chasse, Touchstone, and Birdlime were the fa-
vourites, the former having " the call," and Touchstone second.,
Intriguer, in consequence of his 'defeat by Falconbridge at
Chester, was altogether out of the betting, it being determined
to start him for the Formby Stakes. At half-past two o'clock
the sports of the day commenced with the contest for
The Formby Stakes of 15 soya each, 10 ft, with '2O sovs added.
One mile and a half.

Hon. E. M. LI. Mostyn's ch f L'Hirondelle, 3 yrs 0
This was decidedly the best race of the day. The four had an
excellent start, Intriguer taking. the lead, closely followed by
Masetto. They kept their pos►t►on until the turn home, when
Hirondelle and Mrs. Oakley fell into the rear. The contest
between Intriguer and Masetto then became very severe, the
former leading by about half a length. Within twenty yards
of the winning-post Masetto, who was well ridden by Holmes,
shot out and won by little more than' a neck.—The betting was
6 to 4 agst Intriguer, 2 to 1 agst Masetto, 3 to 1 agst L'Hiron-
delle, and 5 to 1 agst Mrs. Oakley.
The Derby Stakes of 20 sovs each, h ft, with 20 sovs added, for

agst General Chasse, 2 to 1 agst Touchstone, 3 to 1 agst Bird-
lime, sto 1 agst Rust, and 10 to agst any other. The horses
came out amid the pelting of the pitiless storm, and made an
excellent start, the whole of them in a 'ruck, Rust taking the
lead, Touchstone second, and Chasse third. They remained
together for the first half mile, when Red Rover, the Count, and
Chasse shot from their places, and became almost abreast. In
this state they remained, the rest well up, until the last quarter
of a mile, when Catharina, Miss Gtilborne; and Aratus gave up
the contest and cantered. Chasse then took the lead by about
a length of Red Rover, who ran him well in, and maintained it
to the winning-post. The course, from the rain; was rather
heavy, hut altogether the race was well contested.
A Maiden Plate, value 80 sovs, for all ages that have never won
a plate, match, or sweepstakes of the value of £5O before the
day of entry. Heats, two miles. The second horse to receive
10 sovs out of the plate. •5 subs.

hear of any serious accidents.
