STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Though yesterday was a holiday sod the Stock Ex
change was closed, many out-door bargains were made
on the Royal Exchange. Many reports prevailed that
agitated the Market, and large sales were made; in
consequence of which a general panic took place, and
every person became sellers. This morning, however,
the reports that bad prevailed having not been coo.
firmed, the Funds have recovered a little. Consols
which were done yesterday at 761, are this morning
77k sellers.

[ovum OP LIITTIR FROM HALIFAX, DRC. 3.]

It was stated some time since in a Montreal paper,
that the commissioners appointed to settle the boundary
line could not agree. We can now state that the
above information is not correct. The commissioners
came down by the last steam-boat as far as West
Point ; and, from the information we have received,
there is no doubt of the parties agreeing ; and the
differences, it is expected, will be soon settled. It is
of great importance to the inhabitants of the frontiers
on both sides that the boundary line should be known
At present considerable excitement exists on the nor-
Om frontier. In one instance an island in the
river St. Lawrence. called Carleton Island, had been
:leased to Mr. Charles Smyth, and the Post Mae
tar General bad established a Post Office on the
Island, of which Dlr. S. was Post Master. He had
erected a number of buildings on the Island and made
considerable improvement in Agriculture. &c. A
short time ago Mr. Hogerman, the Collector of Customs.
at Kingston, went to Charletou Island with a party of
Officers, and took from Ur. Smith a large quantity of
merchandise, seizing it in behalf of the Crown, on the
ground that the Island belonged to Great Britain.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN.

Unless measures of a decisive character he taken to
prevent the evil, the malignaht fever in its actual form,
nine? prove injurious to the trade of Baltimore, but if
measures not less decisive are not resorted to, in order
to expose and refute the many misrepresentations that
circulate concerning its nature and origin, it will not
he easy to say where the deterioration of this city will
stop. That there are people jealous of our prosperity
c: ~not well be denied. Perhaps where there are mo-
tives Of self-interest to bring the passions into play,
this feeling may be considered natural, but where
there does not seem to be room for the stimulating
power of such a motive, it is difficult to aeronet for
the rancorous hatred towards our city, openly mani-
fested by some individuals, and which is further to b,.
discovered in the various reports sent floating on the
surface of society, to the detriment of one commerce
and increase of our population, and consequently to
our industry and wealth.
Of those openly rancorous towards Baltimore I may
place The New York EeedinAr Post first on the list.
This rancour is of some standing—it Is industrions
in its operations, and pursues its object with a malig-
nancy that seldom sleeps. It is nut to be circum-
scribed by the dull and vulgar mounds of truth—
facts it treats as cobwebs in its path, and reason as
barrier to be boldly over leaped, if by no shorter
course its victim is to be re.tche.l, or its calumny
supported, It bottoms itself on the broad pedestal of
a shameless. effrontery, and when Baltimore is the
subject, canine poison loses every charm for this mo-
ment., and it seems to gloat, and swell, and draw its
being from the utmost recesses of yellow-fever.
In Wednesday's number of that papei, received here
this morning, the Hilitur asserts the malignant fever
to have been introduced into Baltimore torn Havanna.
He does not as heretofore, state this as rntetonr, or on
the authority of private letters, the existence of which
many have been uncharitable enough to doubt, but he
fearlessly assumes it as a fact, and as such gives it to
his readers. His wor.ls are,

.‘ Notwithstanding all the vigilance and exertion•
of the Board of Health of Baltimore, it appears that
the yellow fever, which was introduced there from Ha-
vanna, is gaining gronnd."
It is easy to perceive how this acts, and severely tun,
against our city, itrs industry, and its happiness. The
Bditur of Tke geririug Port would have the public be-
lieve, that Baltimore is !alma, ing under all the affiietiuus
of a contagious disease, almost invariahly fatal in its is-
sue, and consequently, drit it would be dangerous in
be last degree mailer or trade with a place so
in-
teeted. nisi. the meaning, .his is the rancorous
Itrift of the bold and iiimputteist assertion. But, it is
not sufficient for the prosprntv of ninon-, that we,

inconsiderable, and I am informed that the place is

As the state of a nation's learning, at any period,
is a good and just criterion of the feelings and men•
nets of the age ; so, in oar opinion, a notice of it
occasinoally in the Daily Journals Would add dig.
pity to that portion of the Press, and powetfolly
contribute to keep awake that spirit of feeling and
synspethy for men of genies and of trap merit, which,
when it slumbers, is too often attended with fatal con-
sequences to the unhappy men, who look upon the
Public for at least a livelihood, in retnre for the
midnight nil consumed in its service. The Author,
from whose moral sod elegant l'oem we are about to
eittact (though fortunately ezempt from such a de-
pendence), is certainly one of those young men upon
whom a liberal Public shneld cast a favourable eye.
—The following elegant, moral, and original es-
tract will speak to posterity fo► itself, and belie the
insinuation that " it is not genuine," and as just as
it is beautiful and original! Nor here will we omit
adding, in justice to the ingenious Author, that, in
our opinions, and in those of better judges than we
profess to be, it takes the lead of all that has been
written on the lamentable subject, whether by
Britoil, or any of the Reverend Gentlemen, whose
Muses were boped•for benefices on that sad occasion.

" A reproach her been cast upon me. It bag been

contrary to every expectation, by • seddeo and

and that there were )8t some w►ich will admit of a

way to my desire, to lay to a blind anger, which was
proof:renting • new prescriptioo, that its Decrees
would not be irrevocable, and to the unfortunate,
proscribed a second time, that their sefferlogy would
hive a period ? The noise which arose on this occe-
ties tree made by the Ministry; they wished to
make It. If they had had in vie* only the true in-
terests of the State, would it base been, in a public

Ministry, what would bate sigeified the absurd sad
ridiculous cnentrieolaries of the Jewettr of a Certain

rise, all the scendsl of it, if there has been any, is
are work of the Ministry; the blame 'night to rest
lon them only. France, in comparing their conduct
with mine, will perceive on which side has beets
wisdom or talihness. The nation will judge who
has best served it, who has ►ad the jestest sense of
the dirties of his aituatios—a Ministry that begird
the injury a Deputy may do the public laterests in
order to save their own personal self-lore, or the
Deputy that sacrifices his personal self-love in order
to save the public interests. When I do speak, I
sill do it in such a form, and In arch a manner, that,
far from being reputed either the assay of the Ge-
ier:merit or its calumniator, I shall be acknowledged
to possess, above all, the patriotic fear of doing it
the least harm. Abuse, even though it be Minis-
terial, is the leas metal of being regarded, seeing

sib's that soy set of mem weld coolly have framed a
docement se cruel, so oppressive, and so manifestly
'liquid in its operations ; eaten, iodised, those whose
u. it tis to carry it into esecatios (as, I fur, is
seasetimes the rave) overstep the authority deputed to
them. To ask of those who are able to melee the
(pester, whether this be the case, is the object of the
present Lotter.
Sir, I am a Msltster, tad having a large stock
of Malt le hand, at the time the intention of im.
posies a fresh duty was remoored, and well know.
ing that whatever so good end righteous • men
as the CUANCELLOR of the EICUTQUIR proposed in
the 46 Ilonourebk !loose" world be readily adopted
by " oar Represeßtatives," I disposed of my stork
of Melt as fast at I could at the then price, and my

customers in general were not slack is buying, well
knowing that the duty, when it shield take place
(which was sacterstood to be the sth of July), 'mid
materially enhance the price of Malt, so that long
before the Mb July my stock was nearly all disposed
of, sad I had bat a trilling guiltily left.
To my groat surprke I was yesterday visited by
my *ld friends the Eacise Officers to take stock, es
they call it; bet judge of my consternation when
they told me that I was to be charged the additional
duty ow the stock In hued on thefifik of Juice lag,
end demanded to knew what quantity I had in hand
thee. This I could not precisely tell. Upon which
they demanded the names and residence of those who
had purchased of me since, and the quantities by
them respectively purchased s and not being able to
from that account to make up the preseeted quantity
inuiypesiession ea the 5 b Jane, they n•s asked me
fur a sight of my account books, that they might see
what I bad sold !I This I gully thought too mach
and referred it. They departed telling me that they
should visit me again in tee days, end that salts, I
gave them a more satisfactory account thee, I staucii
get late trouble.
Now, Sir, lot me hope that you, er some of year
legal Readers, will set me right. Does this new low
operate retrospectively ? I wilt not ask whether the
demand be jest, or equitable, or reasonable—but iv
