storm comes calm aud certainly the storm v-s
violent enough 70 create reaction Of i,seii TINS
was not tie only cause Of quiet, however There
u not the least 3oabt that the shots fred from Mr.
LaiOnta.nes house, and the conse41eut death o.
Mason, hsd very reasonable influence in cooling
tae courage Of tie srsoaites Mobs are generally
coward y, and the Montreal one is 10 exception.
Tie riots Of May last were first pat stop 70 BY
the shots fired from Tit1s's Hotel, and the on y
matter Of regret is, that more decided measures
were not used ct first. It was from motives o.
humanity that 50 much Tolerance vas shown,
However, and it should not be too severely criti-
cised. After the affair at Ir. LsiOnta.nes tle
dscontented appeared to turn their attention 20 a
different mode Of annoy ance. 4 great msny fires,
evidently from incsudiarism, were discovered 90
the property Of Supporters Of the Ministry. One
mans house was st on fire, because Be refused 70
close bis shop when the funeral Of Mason wss
passing il. The respeciabes Of the amiabie
party nOw 10 opposition would not stand tnis'
how ever; the property might belong % heiormers
that was set on fire, but the next house might be-
long 70 themselves, and as they have complete
control over their lower orders, the fire fsing
WIS stopped.
IL is thought that 10 more outbreaks will nov
take place. The i all business is commencing, aud
believe q more cheerful feeling pervades the
mercantile community Of the city. The business
done this season, though not large, will be very
healthy one. the recent commercial overturn has
made men cautious as 70 whom they sell to-
credit is less easily obtained. The stocks are light
generally, and goods are high
The price Of eone kinds OF produce is also high
Ashes recently advanced enormously. The plce
OF pots about three weeks ago was : 30, and hoy
hold lot "a
ago ranked higher 10 tie market than pots have, by
change Of demand 10 England, fallen much lower,
only selling at present at 81 80. The great rise
in these articles IS undoubtedly owins t. me
activity Of the British manufactures. THIS is oil
immense consequence to Canada, beng one ID
our principal articles OF export.
Montreal will not this year benefit much by me
hou- trade, the buyers from the United states,
am told, m0nOpOlzing the market ia Upper Cana
a. This is partly owing 70 the failure Of your
crop in Ohio and elsewhere, which has made tne
supply for your manufacturing districts somewhat
short and the prices higher, 80 that the Amer.c a.
miller can pay the ~ per cent. duty on our wheat
and also a higher price b our farmers than our
own men can do There IS consequently very
little flour being shipped 10 England this ALL
partly no doubt because the price IS 50 low there
Rates Of freight have fallen IN consequence
loO cents per barrel for corn meal being current ;
ashes FPS Of. A considerable quantity OF produce
Brunswick this season, aud the trade appears to
be- profitable. Flour IS selling In HALIFAX NJ
= So at four months az is there a credit artc g.
while here and in the States it is always cash
while the price in Montreal IS - 90 to - ~ th1
freight, believe, generally is about ~ cents.
A vessel engaged IN this trade, which recently
took q cargo of -four % Halifax from Toronto,
through the Canals, brought back sugar when
was laid down IN the latter city as cheapiy IA
from New York. Tho freight from HALIFAX was
however, very low, rs II was the return yo!a5e ;
the rate was no greater from Halifax q Toronto
than the usual charge from Quebec TO Toronto
This trade IS destined undoubtedly to increase
more particularly # the duty IS not taken OF our
wheat In the nlted States.

spirits about their Railroad to the Atlantic al
