 TRsuBLE IN CARADA.-MpLEoD.- "Pat- riots" the borders lryi ng hard to getup new excilement having reference prnhaby to the Mcleod case. The Buffalo Commercial says that an attempt was made few ights asn sink wn of the British armed steamers which were monred between Navy Island and the Canada shore iy firing cannon se'e- ral times at them.
 The same paper states that sxty-fve Kegs of pow der were stolen from the magazine at Loekport on the l7h, for the purpose, is supposed of some deed nf violence-probably the rescue of Mcl.eod'
 Farthcr,-The (Niagara Upper CHnada) Chronl- ce of the 18th, says that another attempt partially successful, destroy of the locks m the WelIand Canal at Allanburgh, was made on the night oi the 9th inst. Two kegs of powder were sunk m the canal, and ignted by fuse Only one oi the kegs exploded, and the damage to the lock was 50 trfins that it was repaired.
 The New York Herald of the 2lst, publishes an extract from 'Mackenzie's Volunteer," designed to prove the guilt of Mcleod. The Herald in com lnenting it, says-
 In addition to this there seems to be pretty good nserstanding between Governor Seward and his At torney and this same Mackenzie. The latter seems to know all their cabinet secrets, and all their intended movements in relation to this trial; and he requests (apparently in their behalf,) all the witnesses whd can prove McLeod's guilt, to send thelr names and what they can prove, to Willis Hall instanter. IT short there seems 10 be studied and systematic at tempt making to procure the conviction of NcLeoo | by any means.
 Dr. Foote, of the "Buifalo Commercia," ant Judge Mclean can prove that they were at McNab'' 1 camp at Chippewa, on the night the Caroline was | burnt aud saw Mcleod go into the boats. The Hon John of Canada, il is also said, refused to tes tify before comnission because his testimony would | only injure Mcleod,
 In addition to ths we recollect the following | declaration made in Congress by the Hon. C. lnger soil, member from Philadelphia :-
 al am assured on the best authority, that there seven or eight unimpeachable witnesses, who dePos' that they were present the Canadian side, and saw 1 Mcleod with arms in his hands, embark with the res | of the banditti who crossed over from Canada witt the avowed purpose of capturing the Caroline. Thest same persons were present when, together with the other captOrs, he returned still armed, and with some of the booy and heard him utter the foolish base anc wicked boast, that he had helped to kill the Yankees Such is the proof of his guilt. That of bis innocence proceeds, assured from the authentic source from the testimony of two of bad character, mother and her daughter, who undertook to prove ar l alibi"
 The mother and daughter here alluded to, uu- derstand, are the wife and child of Capt. Morrison sf Stamford U. C. who half pay British officer and his family are said to be respectable. It IS also said that J young woman (his kept mlstress,) can also prove alibi.
 From n calm review of all the circumstances con- nected with this important affair, it is very evident that there will be trouble of some kind and perhaps during this trial. on the rendition o the verdict. The kegs of powder which destroyed so many valuable lives at Syracuse were undoubtedl, connected some way or other with the case of McI.god
