FURTHER FROM CANApA-It appears that we
were slightly in error yesterday in saying that Sill
Charles Bagot was universal f.vorite in Canda.-
The following from 1.-The Kingston Times is any
thing but laudatory -;
OTTAWA ELECTION Dennis Papineau, ESQ., bro
Their of the arch rebel, has been returned for this
county, vacated by the elevation of the Solicitor
General East to the Bench. The County Of Ota.
wa is not purely French settlement i is vel
surprised us, that Mr. Papineau has been elected in
the face OF such men as Symmes, Egan and Black
burn, by majority OF more than 100 But such is
the fact. And yet, why should we complain! The
people of Ottawa county have sent to Parliament
the brother OF a Traitor; while His Excellency,
the Governor General, has called to his Council
and rewarded with the most lucrative situation in
IL
traitor himself,
On the 10Th inst the Governor General, Lady Ba
got and family, accompanied by the members oil
His Excellency's Staff, left Montreal for Kingston
The heads of the different Departments had taken
their departure few days previously. Rumors
have been current as 10 change being soon effect
ed in the seat of Government but we learn that
this is point which will be left TO the Legislature,
at its approaching session, to determine.
The following extract shows In what manner the
home valuation of goods subject to duy on importa
ton into Canada, is determined, for the purpose OF
assessing the duty
The Inspector General of Montreal has deemed
it to be MS duty to address the following circular 10
the several Collectors of Customs
beg to call your particular attention TO the 23d
section OF the Imperial act, 3 and William w.
question are to be charged upon the actual value a
| the port of entry, and not upon the value at the
| place where the goods have been purchased The
best mode of asceranng this value, is to require
the production of the original invoice which should
be duly attested, and to this ten per cent must be
added, to cover the cost of transport On invoices
even this addition may be insufficient, as the goods
may have been purchased In the INTERIOR and the
cost OF transportation may be more than ten per ct.
In such cases you may use your discretion, always
endeavoring to satisfy yourself that the duty Is paid
on the true value, at the port OF entry.
The Quebec Gazette says IN regard to the Boun-
dairy Treaty.,
is, however, no doubt that one half of the NADIA
waska settlers under the faith of the British Co
yernment, lose, before even an United States set
tier penetrated into the valley of the ST. John, are
given up. We think there must be some mistake
in the assertion that the line runs from the second
lake on the ST. Francis Branch of the ST. John, to
the source of the Connecticut, giving up the head
waters of the Chaudiere, Lake Megantic, and 1900
square miles OF acknowledged British territory sur
veyed and partly settled"
GREAT DISTRESS IN CANADA.-We have received
letter from highly respectable gentleman. in the
township Of Eaton, (but too late for publication this
week,) calling the attention of the public 10 the su
fenng condition OF the Scotch families who last
fall settled in Lingwick and Gould. They are sta
ted, by correspondent TO be in a state of abso
lutte starvation 1t will be recolected that they
were assisted during the winter, through the efforts
of the ST. Francis Emigrant Association, but the
aid thus afforded, did not reach them till
December, (subsisting for about two months upon
the charity Of few individuals living among thsm)
and was all expended in April While the snow
listed, they purchased provisions with ashes, &c !;
but since then, from the want Of road and the dis
lance of supplies 70 to Is miles) this source cut
off, rendered almost, if not quite impractlcable
Our correspondent suggests-and we heartily Join in
the recommendation-tha subscription be imme-
datey opened, and that provisions be sent to Bury
for them, where they will be glad to come for it..
Unless they get speedy assistance, we fear that IA
mine will do its last work for many of them.-S
