lie will buy Wheat, for cash, at the mar

the trouble Of sending their Flour TO market,

The advantage Of this mill consists in its
being at the point where Canal navigation
commences, and therefore lockage before il
reaches that point is saved.
The subsc riber's brand has always obtained
the highest price in the market, as can be
established by reference TO boa,men on the
river, or TO the flour dealers below.
During the Plaster season, he will always
be ready TO grind that article. and will gene

numerous other vessels.
From the Halifax Gazette of May Fl.
Our paper of to-day contains melan-

loss Of human life. We saw person
Yesterday who was at Louisburg when
the Astrea was lost. The survivors
had reached that place. They inform
ed him that that vessel struck on the
morning of the 7th instant, against
some high cliffs at Little Lorain Head,
about 5 miles from Louisburg, and al
most instantaneously went to pieces;
that she had studding sails set at the
time, and up TO the fatal moment of
striking had been going at the rate of
ten knots. The only individuals saved
