Events IN Canada are rapidly hurrying
to crisis. The Governor and his Min
i>try have decided on remocing the sent
Of Government from Montreal to Toronto.
The reason, the manner and the effect of
this movement will all tell, with tremen-
dous force, not only against the Imperial
Government which supports ii. Ii is I'M
questionauly an act of resentment against
the people OF Montreal for their treatment
OF Lord Elgin. And ii will inhict seri-
Gus injury upon near y every class of the
inhabitants OF Montreal, who have shaped
their business and made all their arrange
men;s with direct reference TO that city
being the capital Of the Province. ii
strikes, moreover, severe blow at the
Government, party. The whole difficulty
has arisen out of the attempt OF Lord e.
gin to carry on the Government in accor-
dance with the supposed wishes of ma
Jority ofthe people. The French control,
and IN iact compose, that majority; and
they have accordingly formed and do now
form the Government, party in the Pro-
vince. But Lower Canada is the section
where they reside. Their whole strength
and all their interest lie there. In re-
moving the Capital, therefore, from Low
er Canada, Lord Elgin inflic,s serious i'll
jury upon his own party. They are in
fact the principal sufferers by the move
ment.
Every step which the Government Of
Canada takes, seems to plunge it still fur
Their in peril and embarrassment. Lord
Eleln first alienated the loyai,ts of Cana
da 10y the bill TO compensate rebel losses;
anu now he has taken the most effectual
step possible 10 ALLEVIATE the remaining
population of the province. Our cores
pondent's letter, which we published yes
terday, sets forth very clearly and for ci-
bly, the state Of public feeling in Montreal
upon the receipt of the rumor, that the
capital would be removed. What effec,
its actual removal will have, will soon be
seen. Under present pros poets and ex-
listing management, we do not believe il
will be possible for England to retain the
Canadas for three years longer>--.N. Y.

Your committee would remark that the above LIST
only includes the Imports and Exports of our own
regular traders. We are Of opinion that the tram
silent freights to and from the Port oS other citizens
OF Iowa, and OF emigrants will nearly equal the
above amount. Your committee find in the above
statement, hatterng evidence of the steady increase
Of the commerce of Burlington and new and now
erfu incentives for renewed cxertions, to prevail
upon the General Government, to take speedv and
efficient measures for the improvement of the nav
igaon OF the great National Highway OF commerce,
the Mississippi.
Your committee believe a comparatively tritinc
expenditure BY the General Government will fur
nish safe and good navigation during the whole
Boating season. and in single year by the saving
to government and those interested in the free nav
isaton ofthe river, save the whole cost ofthe work.

is it only sentiment of humility as to his power
over his own destiny which is thus incucated upon
man; he learns also tranquility and patience. He
cannot hater himself that the most ingenious in
