IT Possibly the Canadians may have been

Fight"par down East, squirting at annexation |!
Here is one Of them from the Nswburyport
paper
"Why our government has SO long neglected
this matter, or why they do not now at once
maintain their rights, is mystery. For years
vessels have been seized and plundered, and the
facts have been known to the whole country, but
while the nation would vet all their hounds to
pursue one poor negro to the borders of Canada,
they have been as mum the grave over such
insults and aggressons. For fishermen to at
tempt to resist English frigates, that could blow
a whole fishing fleet to pieces ina half hour, were
folly the only reliance the fishermen can have is
on the government, and they should thunder at
it's doors in Washington, and start their Senators
and Representatives to action, till the whole
country is alarmed A war with England is not
an event to be desired, but should it ever come,
we shall hear no more of British lines, real or
constructive, on this continent. There are English
provinces enough TO make dozen perry fine States +"

FLouRANp MEAL-Since this day week, very ami
mated demand has sprung up for Western andi State
Flour, both for the home trade and the East. Little
has been done for shipping the prices being
orally above shippers limits, although considerable has
been shipped from first hands and taken to complete
cargoes. The lateness of the season, the very small
stock in store and the break in the Canal lock at Sche
nectady retarding the receipts and the moderate arri
walls, have stimulated the market very materially, and
prices have advanced l25al8sc all grades The in.
feror grades (Sour and No. Superhne) have been in
active demand for export at the improvement, but OF
these there little here Old has sold freely when offer
ed but the stock is exhausted. The trade have pur-
chased very literally of the better grades, especially of
Ohio, and this is now in very small supply, with a
strong upward tendency in prices The better grades
have ruled much below their real value and observe
reaction in the market. Our stock here Is proba-
bly, not over 900 bbls., which is quite light. The
prospective arrivals considerable, but not likely

There is speculative feeling apparent predicated on
the small stock, and moderate arrivals Southern has
been in active demand especially the better grades and
these have improved materially lowing to the absence
