CO We call the attention of Merchants,
Booksellers, Druggists and others, to the adver-
nent of "Ths Croton Manufacturing Co." of
New-York, in another column. This Company
undoubtedly stands at the head of the Trade both
in quantity and variety Of the Goods they Man
uiacture and Import, and as they are constantly
Manufacturing, they keep up q full assortment
at all seasons Of the year. We notice as pecu-
liar feature in this establishment, that their store
is open and their stock can be examined from
six O'clock A. NJ, to ten o'clock, P. NJ, thus
giving all who visit the city an opportunity to
make use of portion of their time, which might
otherwise be lost. And to all who hold with
Doctor franklin, that lime is money! we say,
giue them a call.
G5|For all kinds Of goods suited to those who
are providing Outfits for California, from Clolh-
ing to six-barrelled Revolving Pistol, Oak
| Hall, Boston, seems 10 keep the lead, as the
cheapest and greatest place in the Union, It is
also unrIvaled for every variety of Furnishing
Goods for Travellers, Gentlemen who stay at
home, Boys Clothing, &c. &c. See the adver-
tscment in another column.
eE5- Those interested in Shawls. Silks, and
Mlllcnery goods are referred to the advertise
ments of Jewett g. Prescott and james w. Lee,
In Crockery and Hardware, to the ADVERTISE
ment of John Colamore jr. g. Co.--and in books

THREATENED REBELLION IN
CANADA,


Again come signs of an outbreak in CANADA.
The immediate occasion Of complaint is bill to
pay for property lost during the rebellion of 1887
This bill provides for paying all losses, without
reference 10 the side which the owners of the
property took in the rebellion; and of course in
IDENTITIES Papineau, the Nelson's, Mckenzie and
other "Patriots." The loyallsts or Tories are
terribly exasperated by this; and the parties
have consequently changed sides-the Patriots
now going with the Government, and the Tories
threatening rebellion The bill passed by four
majority. At the last accounts the Governor had
not signed it, and it was rumored that he would
reserve the bill for the assent of the Queen. In
the mean time the Tories are threatening in
John Bulls worst style. Fierce resolutions have
been adopted by them, and in publishing the
resolutions of q meeting in Montreal the Cour-
Ter SAYS:
"The resolutions were received with tremen-
dous cheers But one feeling animated the meet
ing, and is shared by the whole country and
that is, never to submit TO the payment of The
rebels. Let the Parliament pass the bill, let the
Governor sanction it if he peases, but ,chiie
there is an are and ,ife:on the frontier, and Sar
on hands TO yield them, these losses tciH not be
paid"
A Convention at Kingston is also threatened,
and the Kingston Chronicle is already specula-
ting upon the measures to be pursued. They
are
l. A repeal of the Union of the two Cana
das; or
2. A separation from Great Britain and an
nexation to the U hited States or
3. A federal Union OF all the British North
American provinces under the dominion of the
Queen of Er9taad
The Chronicle advocates the third proposition
The Montreal correspondent of the Toronto
Patriot says:
"TAe only on dit of the day worthy of cred.
it-you must not give any to those mentioned in
the newspapers-refers 10 the 'under current
leaning of the Anglo Saxons here toward an an.
nexation with their brethren of the United States
-unlustly and untruly attributed to them by
Lord Durham III his time, but true as the gospe
now"
The Montreal Witness has an article in which
the advantages and disadvantages OF Annexa
ton are stated. 1t would, says the Witness, dc
away with frontier Custom Houses, introduce
American capital, raise the value of fixed prop
erty, promote tie construction of roads, make
the 81. Lawrence the great highway of West
ern produce, abolish the 1.-THE system, prevent le
glslation for the exclusive benefit of any re
glous sect, give the non-slaveholdng interest {
large majority IN Congress-, subject Canada t
the American Tariff-whch is higher than tina
now enforced there (the money raised BY duties
being carried 10 Washington 10 help in The ex
tension of Slavery Annexation would also in
vove Canada IN the odium and guilt of SLAYER,
and such " discreditable diplomacy as that re
Gently carried on respecting Oregon, Texas AM
Mexico"

u Among the few private claims allowed
by the late Congress was one for the relief OF
John P. Skinner of Windsor and the represen.
tatives of Isaac P. Green. We gather from Mr..
Upham's argument that they were sureies for
Thomas Emerson as Pension Agent, but while
he was able to pay, ihey notified and requested
the Government 10 secure itsee by attaching
Emerson's property. This request was not heed
ed, Emerson failed, and the suretes claim that
they ought to be discharged. Some years ago
the Government acknowledged their claims by
reimbursng what they had paid, and by the last
bill have discharged them from the remainder Of
their liability, amounting to $4,000.
