| CANADA. The latest news from Lower Canada
is OF character rather discouragng to the Patriot
cause. The Patriots appear to be very unfortunate
in the attempted contamination of their plans and
their plans formed with too little wisdom for
the men Of the experience which some who rally
under their banner were supposed TO possess. The
cry of rally and to goes around-proclamations
are issued-gatherings of men with arms are seen
-skirmishes are had-great victories are proclaim
! ed-but, alas, the next mail brings the intelligence
Of total discontinue a timely retreat of the
whole Patriot army Such were the alternate lights
and shades of The controversy last winter and such
now promises to be the end of the present struggle
for freedom, only annihilation will come more
speedily. 1t may possibly prove TO be otherwise,
and the present apparent dlsadvantagous position
of the Patriot army-if it is not ere this totally
disbanded-may be the tempest-caIn which pre-
cedes still mightier struggle.
There have been reports of risings in the Upper
Province, but we see no evidence to justify the be-
lief that any open attempt PROSTATE the power of
the Queen there has been made. Indeed, we sup
pose them to be false rumors; yet shond the Pat
riotsDf the Lower Province again rally in full
force, such event would doubtless to pass.
possible precautionary measure to suppress the first
symptoms Of revolt. The passes there, if reports
of formidable military preparations to be cred
tied, are literally studded with gttering bayonets,
carrying terror and dismay to the stoutest hearts,
An array like this will dampen the zeal of the |
wnrmest, and chill the blood of the nearly indfTer-
ent, who stand ready to join the victorious party.
Another week will probably tell the story, whether
tho Patriots have surrendered for the season, or
whether they will soon appear again more form
dabe host We give in another column all the in
formation not known to be wholly false, that we
find.

Height of Water TN the Lokcs-We understand
that Alfred Barrett, Esq, Chief Engineer upon the
western section of the Erie Canal, with D. Jay
Brown, Esq, Assistant Engineer, visited Port Dali
house, at the mouth Of the Weland Canal last week,
to examine the water marks made in 1926, and as.
certain the comparative height of water in Lake On
tario from that period TO this. On examination they
learned that since the year 1925 that lake had been
gradually rising, and within three years past, ra-
pidly increasing in volume; and is now six feet
and eight inches higher than in 1925. Il has fallen
since the first of July two inches, that the entire
rise Of water has been six feet and ten inches!
Lake Erie, as near as an be aScertained from
water marks at the foot of the lake, and at Black
Rock harbor has risen only about four feet or some
thing less-and the Niagara river below, about the
same the comparative height Of the river and lake
not varying over two inches since 1925. Lake Erie
has apparently fallen about eight inches from its
greatest height in June; and from the extraordinary
hot weather of the present summer, and the conse-
quent evaporation going on, II would not be surpris-
ing If the lake should fall eighteen twenty inches
by the LIST of December
The lakes appear to be following, the present
year. similar course to what they did in 1873 after
the very high stages of water which succeeded the
cold and wet seasons of 1915, 1917. During those
three years. they rose rapidly and in the spring and
early summer of 1875 were much higher than they
had been for many years previous, although not SO
high as now. But in the hot summer of 1918, the
evaporation reduced the lakes nearly two feet in
depth, and they continued to fall gradually In each
successive year. till about 1922 and there remained
without much change till ls267-s; since which they
have been continually gaining in height and volume
This last mentioned fact viii Immediately recur TO
our forwarders, and those who were engaged In
business near our harbor as in 1887 several of the
warehouses on Buffalo creek were raised some two
feet above their former levels and again, in 1928
9, and 80 several of them again raised by the
continual swelling of our lake. II may be hardly
worth while to mention 1t, when that stale prejudice
of charging the damming of the waters to Black
Rock pier is now so itile regarded but during this
continued rise, the pier was most of the me value
less for retaining the water in the harbor-and at
this time, when the water is evidently on the fall it
is entirely rebuilt in the strongest and most durable
manner
