terest from the Canadas. riot oil trlfllng impor-
lance had occurred on the Fourth OF JULY at Sher-
| brooke, in consequence of frQcas between some
republican spirits who firing guns and rockets,
ana few Of the British. An Irishman got his nose
| fattened, and that was, I'VE believe, the only
damage done in the row.
in the case of the burning of the Bibles at Cham
plain, committee OF Protestants and Catholics had
investigated the whole affair, at the request OF
Bishop Hughes, and report that some forty Bibles
| were burnt that il was done by M. lehman, mis-
| sionary from Canada, and recently from France, in
| opposition 10 the express wishes OF the resident
Priest, and that the Bishop OF Montreal promptly
condemned the act within five days The Bibles
were disributedby Proestans, against the declared
wishes of the Catholics, with whom they were
| left
| violent storm occurred ide I'd inst. The
violence OF the wind was greatest in Lower Canada,
| where 1t was accompanied with hail, and occasion
ed much damage. Quebec paper mentions be-
| tween 90 and 70 buildings, chiefly barns, which
were blown down In different places in that vicinity;
and by letter from Berthier, which we find in the
Montreal Courier, appears that the damage in that
neighborhood was still greater. Berthier is about
| 80 miles below Montreal
The CRops.-Through the Beauharnois townships
the appearance OF the crops is anything but pro-
| missing. A large proportion OF the potatoes planted
In the spring, were rotted by the continued wet, and
those put into the ground more recently, have been
| killed by the continued drought Hay will be poor
crop this year-it has suffered much from want OF
rain, AN; and is prematureIy ripe Of wheat there is
badly succeed better in this than in previous years
Oats and barley look slckly, but corn planted late
PROMISES fairly.
In the Eastern Townships again, hay is said to be
| a
corn will be very deficient unless the frost keeps off
| longer than usual in the fall
The great loss of stock, occasioned by the seve-
rty OF the winter at the west, and the probability OF
short crop OF grass, may be reasonably supposed
will considerably increase the value of cattle. Ex-
portations OF horned cattle, to considerable ex-
tent, are going on to the United States; from the
| neighborhood of the Chateauguay alone, upwards
OF 700 head have been exported into the adjoining
States of New York and Vermont during the last
| two weeks.
BEAuHARNoIs CANAL.-There appears DISPOSE
ton among the men to resume work, at the old rate
otwages, and previous hours. Some hundreds COM
| menced again yesterday; and although SEINE of the
more worthless still hold out, yet il is believed, in
| the course OF week the works along the whole
line, Will be again In operation.
The Commission, appointed TO investigate the
causes OF the disturbances have returned to town,
In consequence of the illness of one of their num-
shall be appointed by the Government, they will re-
sumo their labors.
We are glad to learn that His Excellency the
commander OF the forces, has fully approved of the
conduct Of the troops, cavalry and infantry, at the
| late fatal rlots.-Montreal Herald.

No proclamation has yet appeared for assembling
Parliament; but the last session rose on the 18th
October, the usual intlmatiOn cannot be far off,

SEWN DAYS LATER FROM ST. DoMINeo.-By the
arrival of the brig Maria, Capt. Stetson, we have
advlces from Port au Prince TO the LIST inst.
We find very little in our files of the least interest
The island was perfectly quiet and the public at
fairs tremendously conducted by the Provisonary
Government. No election of President had yet
taken place; the convention Of delegates for that
purpose was to assemble in Port an Prince this
month. Some progress was being made in rebuild
ing the city, which nearly consumed by the
disastrous fire of last year.
The market was well supplied with American pro-
visions. Flour very abundant; about 5000 barrels
on hand, and no demand. Considerable of it must
perish before it can be consumed. No definite quo
tations can be gwen.
