= The COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER is the
Ia,le ola new Daily, just commenced in Mil
saslkee, by Lucas Seaver & III. w. Gunni
SON. 1t is very neat sheet, and well filled
With advertisements. The Editors, if the
Entnbers received are a fair specimen of theil
ca1racter, must be boiled down, double-dis
ullsd Locofoco Hunkers of the Richie school
'Ihe first number contains the usual party
Wa'l, in remembrance of those who have
been deprived of heirship to all the fat offices
IN The country. The Editor says, "We do
rot object to the Mig party, when in power
fasing full sweep-monopolizing all the
spells of victory;" but the idea of Gen. TAy-
Tons making removals is quite too much for
kae..party to bear.
Now, one word about these removals.
IL presume that the officers removed in this
lace were as true to their party, and as un-
objectionable as any in the country; still. we
are OF opinion that had it been left to vote
ct the Democrats Of Iowa County, they would
haVe been removed even sooner than thew
were. We heard Democrat remark few
gays since, (and we believe he spoke the
Flews OF large majority of his party,) that
shese removals were needed, for the good of
shelr own party. His reasons were these =
3fad they been retained until the Democratic
party obtained the ascendency, they would
pun claim the right to the offices; but now.
ahould the Democrats again obtain command
9f the ship of State, other men of their party
will stand chance to obtain office. Such is
the feeling of most of the Democrats, and
<his great cry of Prescription is more for cap
ttal than any thing else. Not one in ten OF
ihe officers removed could be re-instated by a
vote of their own party.

CANADIAN AFFAIRS.
MOnfrepL- lime e 7

The greatest excitement prevailed through
out the city yesterday in regard to the tone OF
the English papers relative to the Canadian
affairs. With the issue Of the city papers
this morning, containing full details, the ex-
citement increased. The party in favor of an
nexation to the United States calls more loud
ly than everfor the consumraation ofthat object,
and the greatest indignation and disgust pre-
vailed amongst the ultra loyalists.
appearances in the lower provinces seem
to Justify the supposition that no appeal to
arms will be made just yet. The principle
men of the tory party desire that the result of
the mission of Sir Allen McNab should be
known before Interior measures be resorted to.
1t Is found, however, exceeding difficult to
calm the lower orders.
Were his Excellency to appear in this city
so frightful are the threats used byall classes,
1t IS feared that he would be murdered
Should this feeling not subside, he will not
fear, be safe even at Monklands.
1T IS impossible to foretell what one hour
may bring forth.

! Picked ToNGuEs.-French la mode, as
prepared by lenocinant sphinx, in a very
central part of town. The process is said to
be simple, but very effectual. 1t consists
'simpy in permitting quantity of the pickle
(varving from one to six quarts) to pass over
the tongue into the receiver below, which ST.
simultaneously pickles the tongue and corns the
brain. Immediately after the commencement
'of the process, the tonuge becomes very lin

ices to Micken up, which effect continues until
the process is completed, which usually re-
quires from two to three hours, depending up
on the hardness Of the case; after which. the
tongue and its owner, having become perfect
'ly picked, are laid aside, where they are per-
mitted to lie in soak for about twelve hours,
when, if required, the process is again repeat
ed, and continued from night tc night In the
most approved style. The price for picking
tongue depends somewhat upon the length of
the purse, it always being desired to draw out
the last cent. The component parts of the
pickle used still remains French secret, but
it is supposed TO contain large portion of
Oxygen, as the liquifying portion is said to
be derived from stream, into which, the Of
