FROM CANADA PAPERS.

Captain Franklin and his party des-
tined to cooperate with Captain Parry
in an expedition to the north, have ar
rived at Montreal. They will proceed
immediately to Neutrality-suspicious.,
there to embark for the Upper Lakes.
In the commercial intercourse bill
with the United States now before
The House of Assembly, some impor-
tant alterations have been already pro-
posed, and it is more than probable
will be adopted. Travellers are allow
cd to bring their horses, sc. emigrants
are to be permitted to bring along with
them their oxen, COWS, sheep, hogs,
&c. The duty on tobacco is to be re-
duced to Id per ID. and leather TO I'D
per ID. Many other necessary enact
ments are proposed that will be made
known in due season.
1t is rumored on good authority that
our parliament will be prorogued on
Wednesday or Thursday next.

Five Dollars Reward.

FLOPED from the farm of the subscriber,
IL about three weeks past, negro boy
named CHARLES NORRIS, about 10 or II
years old, thin visage, small features and small
head, and when spoken to replies in very
slow and deliberate manner. His clothing
was domestic roundabout and pantaloons of a
light color, but it is very probable that he has
changed them. He was seen at the White
House Fishery soon after he left home, and
subsequently, he passed over the river at this
place to Maryland. The above boy having
heretofore been remarkable for his good con-
duct and nothing having been done or said to
him, to justify or to induce him to abscond,
lead ITO the suspicion that he has been misled
by sottSe evil disposed person. The above re-
ward will be given if lodged in the Jail of this
county, so that get him again.

When we wrote you on the LIST instant, we
stated that our market was firm, without how
ever much activity in the sales. We now
have to advise that holders of Ashes and Cof-
fee have submitted to take lower prices. The
fall Of the prices of ashes is due in a great
measure to the failure of spectators in Paris,
who had large quantities, which have been
forced into the market. We are of opinion
that they cannot remain long at the present
rates, of IS SO A. per SO k.
ST. Domingo coffee, which had been eager
ly taken up for the English market at 10 and
164, is now at Is and 15a. The greatest part
of what is expected is already sold, to deliver
on arrival. Little remains in the market, and
we believe that it will rather rise than decline.
Cottons remain very firm. Georgia and
Alabama 81 Sc; Louisiana So a SO. The
imports this month from America have been
as yet but 5000 bales, and it is expected will
prove great deficiency, when compared with
the same month in 1924. Although the daily
sales are not extensive, still our stock dimin-
ishes, and we calculate on a continuance of
the present rates as long as our market is kept
as bare as it is of that staple.
