Letter from Gen. scott, on the Annexation Of
Cannda.

Gnna0u.
We find the following letter from the hero Of
Lundy's Lane, in the Baltimore Sun of the 10th:
WEST PoINr, JuEe %, Is49.
Ny DEAR SIR:-The news fIon the Parlia-
ment of Great Britain, this morning, must,
think, increase the discomfort of our neighbors
on the other side of the ST Lawrence and the
Lakes not little; and that those dlscontents will,
IN few years, lead to a separation of the Cana
das, New Brunswick, &c &c, from the moth
er country, seems equally probable.
Will those Provinces ioHn themselves into an
independent nation, or seek connexion with
our UnionI think the probability is greatly in
favor OF the latter. la nay judgment the in
terests OF both sides would be much promoted by
annexation-the several Provinces coming into
the Union on equal terms with our present thirty
States. The free navigation of the St Law
renee Is already OF immense Importance to per-
haps third OF our present population, and
would be OF great value TO the remainder. AT.
ter annexation, two Revenue Cutters, below
Quebec, would give US a better security against
smuggling than Sc, 900 custom-house EMPLOYEES,
strung along the line that separates us lrom the
BRUSH possessions on our continent. | am
well acquainted with that line, and know
great deal Of the interests and the character Of
the Proyincials. Though opposed to incorpora-
the Mexican race, should be most happy. to
fraternlse with our north and Northeastern
neighbors.
What may be the views Of our Executive gov
eminent ON the subject know absolutely moth
ing; but think cannot GIT in saying that two
thirds Of our people would rejoice at the incor-
poration, and the other third soon perceive its
benefits.
OF course, am opposed to any underhanded
measure on our part, in favor Of the measure,
or any act Of bad faith towards Great Britain.
Her good will, in my view Of the matter, is only
second TO that Of the Provincisls themselves, and
that the former Would soon follow the latter
considering the present temper and condition of
observation-disclosures be doubted.
The foregoing views have long been in the
habit of expressing in conversation. Igivethem
20 you for what they may be worth.
Faithfully yours, -.

Steamer DeKaIb.

We feel sure that our citizens generally will
rejoice with US to learn, that the untirng ener-
oy of our old friend Capt Lubbock has been
rewarded with complete success in the restora'
,ion ofthis vessel. We find the following no.
tice in the Charleston Courier.
STEAMER DEKALB.-Thiss steam boat. which
was snapeed and sunk at Frying Pan Point, in
the San,ce river, on the 9th Of February last
we are happy to state, has been raised, and ar.
rived here on Monday last. Capt. Lubbock,
her commander has exhibited the most ndoml.
table perseverance, in the recovery ofhs vessel.
Soon after the accident, Capt. l.. obtained a
couple of lighters, and with chains and cables
succeeded in raising her within short distance
of the surface oI the water, when the increase
Of weiyht was such as to break The chains, and

Knowledge ofthe strength Of his strong arm, and

also demagogue of,he very first waler-one
of the very strongest popular leaders who has

teddy drinking patriots at Beck's and Thom-

swept all before him. He wen, to the Legis.

and then he Topped them for Congress. Nor
did the noses of his constituents grow pale at
the daring thought. The gentleman from
Butcher.town was sturdily returned as the Hon.
gentleman from the Sixth Congressional dis.
,rict."
Alter speaking of Bolts's CON pararive failure
in Congess, and heunfitness of his intellect to
deal with general questions of national policy,
the Examiner goes on 10 give the reasons why
Mr.. Bolts is so violently opposed in the present
canvass.
This, then, is the secret of the ferocions
excitement to which the present canvass in this
district has given Use. Persons without the

The Cotton Market.

The news brought by the Europa has had
favorable effect upon the Cotton Market. In
New York on Saturday last, 1000 bales were
sold at an advance Of from one.qnarer to three
eiohths of a cent. In Charleston on the same
day, there was great activity, prices assuming
in the after part OF the day, an upward ,enden'
cy but without any actual advance. The sales
amounted TO 2644 bales, at 5 7.s to Tic.
In our own market OH Monday and yestcr
day, there considerably activity, without any
actual advance, though no choice cotton was
offered We quote at to 6 8 4; choice ar
