BRITIsH COLONIAL TRADE.-We do not find any
confirmation of the fact Of the reported opening OF
tho British West India ports the trade of the Uni
ted States In the British House of Commons on the
9TH July in reply to question asked by Mr.. Robin
son relative to the state of the negotiations with the
United States for throwing open the West India
Trade Sir Robert Peel stated that negotiations
IN progress but had not yet been brought to final
conclusion. The editor of the New York Albion
thinks that this admission is the foreruner to an
nunciation of IN arrangement between the two Gov
crnments for the opening of the Colonial ports. The
same journal, which has always been the steadY ad-
vocate; Of the British Colonial interests makes the
following statements and admissions the subject,
all of which would to show that the final ar
engagements are near Tn cir completion.
III has been recently stated, and upon the best
authority, that the agent for New Brunswick in Lon
don, MIR Bliss. had communicated TO his friends in
that province his apprehensons that the ports would
be opened in September next We have also in our
possession private information in relation to Mr. Nc
Lanes negotiations which lead us to the conclu
sion Upper oil these circumstances, we should be
wanting In duty, to Colonial friends If we did not
distinctly intimate TO them that the chances of this
trade remaining closed are materially dimshed.-
But most OF The accounts nevertheless, concur in af
hrminS that whatever changes may take place in the
shipping trade, the general interests OF the northern
provinces will be steadily kept by his Maes-
TVS Government. For this purpose it is intended to
impose what 10 termed protecting duty all articles
wick, &c. when taken the West India ports from
those OF the United States 1t further stated that
rcqu'sition will be imposed obligng American
sells to take away the amount Of their outward bound
cargoes i'll the produce ct the Islands. Such a regu
laon might possibly be Of utility enabling the West
Indies to carry barter trade, and thereby reliep-
ing themselves Of much of their superfues produce
in return for articles Of the first necessity. We take
leave Of the subject expressing belief that his
Maestys Ministers have acted with the best feelings
towards the Colonies and have been actuated by the
paramount motive of protecting the interests of the
empire at large. We do not think that the oppos-
ton to this measure exists to the extent that it did
few months sipce."

lNDlANA.-The account given in our last paper,
OF the favorable result of the recent election in this
respectable State, is fully confrmed.The last num-
Der Of the Farmer. published at Indianapolis by our
old acquaintance GEO. SMITH. Esq ci-derant jack
sonian thus notices the termination of the contest
"THE DOGS DEAD.
I'VE have heard from goodly number of the coun
lies IN this State, and appears from the result that
JacksoniSm has bid farewell to Indiana. So mote it
BE-"
Disunion.-A Kingston Upper Canada pa per says:
ave have given further extracts from American pa
pers. illustrative Of the Ill blood which regns the
Southern States. We hope they will be attentive
" read and considered crisis of se D.
aration arrives lphich think not far distant, there
will be enough tor all hands to do; it viii entirely
alter the relation Of Great Britain with this CONT
nent and the change will be, to her, Immensely ben
efcial"
Refo,n,-We understand the reformed Postmas-
ter at Wakefield, has been reformed out of office,
for negligence and inability to perform the duties
of the office; and If report speaks true has reformed
his bondsman out of seventy eighty dollars in the
bargain. Stacy ii. Lock is appointed in his stead.
