Latest frem Canada.

The only further Information we have from Lower
Canada, is, that the whole country is IN state OF
fermentation; and that about 1000 hdbiaas are as
sembled at Grand Brute, and that the communlea-
tons with Montreal and the adjoining country were
altogether interrupted.
In some Of the Seigneuries the disafected had pad
domciary visits the loyalists and disarmed them.
Many of the latter have removed to Montreal with
their families 1t must be remembered that Montreal
is island and that repeated embarkations and dis
smbarkations sad impeiiment to the celebrity Of
military movements.
In the meantime the inhabitants of British and
American descent not idle. They are mastering
in great numbers and spirits and on the night of the
18th November about 500 men from Clarenceville,
the Rchelieu, the frontier Of this state turn
ed out with aacrity against supposed attack from
the insurgents. They had no occasion to show their
courage however, sit a false alarm. Their Zeal
may encourage others Upper Canada.)
The Scotch settlers in Glengarry, to the num-
Der of 2000 have declared their readiness to march
to the assistance of the government. The radi-
Gals in the Upper Province, although clamorous
for REFORM are by ready for revolution, and
have intimated their willingness quell Mr.. Papi

The earollng of men for the several volunteer corps
of artillery and infantry commenced yesterday, and
went on with spirit beyond the expectation Of the
most sangune. We understand that upward OF 400
men had volunteered before three O'clock and PrOba-
bly, before this evening" the several corps now autho-
rised will have completed their compliment. One
company, nearly so, consists of Sailors many among
them old man of war men, who will make excellent
hands at the batteries.
The guns on the works were fired yesterday for
the purpose of scaling the guns, which alarmed the
country people, who supposed that the city was ac-

during the panic which the Transcript has
occasioned it, is suspendng its wits; and
the Sunday Morning News is suspending
its Judgement; this, by the by, has been
SO long suspended that many are extreme

any.
Fashion is suspending its extravaganza ;

promenades in Broadway, and the elite are
suspendng balls, fetes and soirees, without
which few short months since they fovnd

~ All the world then, instead of CRYING like
babies, should unfold their lazy arms and earn a
living. When such paragraphs as the following
from the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, appear
in the wing papers, wehave pretty good evidence
that "all the world are not quite ruined yet -
Surprise may be excited abroad, that at
a time when the power of pecuniary suffer-
ing seems stretched to its utmost tension
and at points like ours, where the pressure
is invariably proportioned to the extent of
its business ransactions-such evidences
of wealth and enterprise as are presented by
the almost weekly addition of a splendid
steamboat or gallant schooner to our nu.
merous lake craft, should still exist. But
they exist, despite the whelming embarrass-
ments which paralyze the common business
Among the numerous steamboats, brought
out this season, the "Nep England" which
left our harbor well laden for the west, is
the latest which has come under our notice.
She was built during the winterp past, at Black
Rock, under the superinIendence of Mr.. J.
w. Banti, and is handsome specimen of
workmanship.
The New England measures $50 tons
burthen; deck 165 feet; beam % feet. She
is propelled by one of Allaire's low pres
sure engines, and will carry in addition to
passengers and baggage, a freight of $500
barrels.
Although fitted for carrying freight as
well as passengers, the cabins of the New
England are fitted up in style inferior to
no boat on the lake. We were really surp,i-
sed to find such elegance displayed in this
department. The Gentlemen's cabin con-
tains 80, and the Ladies', 16 berths, be-
sides A. state rooms-all richly furnished,
and what is vastly convenient to the tallest
sort of men, the cabins are of very liberal
height.
The New England cost some $4,000,
and is owned principally by Messrs. ]. Sal
tar q Co., and J. Mayhem of this city and
Messrs. Gillespie, Joyce 81 Co. of Cleve-
land. She is commanded by Captain c..
