Commerce OF Lake CbampIain-Trade with
Canada.

We find, in the Troy Hhig, tables illus
Tative Of the increased commerce Of Lake
Champlain, and showing that the trade which
formerly sought the ocean through the St. Law
renee is more and more diverted TO American
channels. The great increase in the duties at
The Port Of Burlington is due to the completion
last winter Of two railroads connecting that
place with Boston, and the consequent attrac-
ton Of a larger quantity of Canadian produce.
II is worth mentioning in this connexion that we
see it stated the crops in Canada this season are
unusually large. A letter to the Albany Eren-
ing Journal states the probable surplus Of wheat
in Canada at between four and FIVE millions Of
bushels. The Wing says:
We give below returns from the Custom Houses
in two Of the most important collection districts
Plsttsburgh and Burlington-for four successive
years, follows;

In the Senate, yesterday, the bill making

Giving excess in favor Of 1850 Of $7,257 SO.
This excess of toll is caused by the great increase
OF Canada trade over any former year In fact,
until the last two three years. the State by way
of tolls has been but little benefited by this trade.

In the article Of oats, the trade has increased enor

In MIcHIGAN-now one of the greatest wheat
growing States in the Union-the recent crop has
been very abundant. The Detroit dduafisp says:
"The harvest is over-the prospect of Michigan for
a full treasury from her late golden fields, placed
beyond a peradventure. The surplus wheat from
this State will, in the opinion of experienced farm
ers and millers double that of any preceding year.
This may seem exravagant; but not "a few men
whose judgment is deemed valuable express that
opinion. The quality Of the berry is, in general,
excellent; and the yield of flour will be also large
in proportion, Corn has recuperated wonderfully
within thirty days, and now bids fair TO yield hand
somely The fears which produced by the
drouth of May and the early part of June have thus
been happily dissipated."

Texas AND SANTA FE.-However much the re-
cent meetings in Texas and the action of Governor
Bell have indicated different state of things, we
never believed that the people of the State, in n
body, sympathized with the violent counsels of
those who have, for time past, been threaten
ing against New Mexico in defiance of the au-
thority of the United States. There was every
reason TO conclude, that in Texas, in the South
generally, sentiments of dislOyalty TO the Union as
well as Inenacing resolutions and action, were con-
fined exclusively TO a set Of interested demagogues
and the few incorporate spirits whom they were
able TO influence; while the great of the sober
and intelligent portion Of the community remained
not only unexcitcd, but firmly attached to that
moderate policy, conservative at once of the rights
Of the States and the peace and permancncy OF the
COnlederacy. In confirmation Of this opinion, we
learn from the Galveston (Texas) Civiiian, of the
10th ultmo, that regards the state Of affairs in
Santa Re, the great majority of the people of Texas
are yet unexclted and quietly awaiting the result Of
the action of Congress aud the meeting Of the leg
slaturc. II is said moreover, that this last body,
az appears from its proceedings last winter, is in
favor of prudent and conciliatory measures.
