FREE TRADE WITH CANADA.--A letter appears
in the Canadian papers from the Hon. Ha-
milton Merritt of Canada on the subject of
extending the present system of Canadian
reciprocity to manufactures, and abolishing
the Custom Houses in the interior 10th on the
Canadian and United States side. The letter,
though mainly written for Canadian readers,
deserves perusal in this country, as well from
the well known authority Of the writer as from
the force of his reasoning. 1t is incontes-
tible that the abolition of the Custom Houses
on the Canadian line--which now cost more
than they produce-would be an unmixed ben
eft to this country. We should supply Cana
do with every species of manufactured goods,
and when the time came for Canadians to man.
ufacture successfully, why if they could make
cottons and saws cheaper than we could it
would be to our advantage to buy them free of
duty. The subject ought to engage the atten
ton of Congress, and especially of the North
ern delegations. The present reciprocity sys
tenn has worked well: why not carry it out to
its natural extent?

THE IRISH LIBERATORs IN AMERICA-ADD REss
OF THE IRISH EMGRANT AID CoNvENrroN.--The
convention of the Irish Emigrant Aid Society
adjourned yesterday, after session of three
days, and after the adoption Of a series ofreso-
lutions and an address containing the prin-
ciples of their platform, so far as their plat
form may be said to have any principles We
are not informed precisely what this move
mcnt is intended to effect, although its object
is Of course proclaimed to be the liberation of
Ireland from the English yoke. How this Is to be
done has not been made known, for the society is
partially secret one; but 1t is said to be by
arms and we cannot we'll conceive how it could
be otherwise accomplished. There is q ru-
NOR that an agent Of the Russian government
is one Of the principal leaders in the affair, and
that he has promised them the support
Of the Gear in any hostile movement
which they may make upon England. How
ever this may be, we are pleased to
see that in their address and resolutions thew
ignore any intention to violate our neutrality
laws; and as long as they keep their word. they
may meet as often as they please and protes.
as much as they like against English tyranny.
Tie freedom OF Ireland is matter which is
left for the people Of that country to decide
upon. Should they be willing to eight for IL,
and require assistance, the Association will
give II but should they, on the contrary, con-
clude to remain as they are, then the Associa-
ton, like the Cuban Junta, will wait until they

Dow ordered tie infantry TO FIRE, which order
Captain Green refused to obey, saying that the
circumstances did not call for such severe meas

preached, when, the mob having burst open the
door of the liquor room, section Of the com

son was killed and six or seven severely wound
ed.
On Monday, all was quiet at Portland, and
no further trouble was apPrehended The gov
crnor issued requisiiion for the aid Of the mi
liiia il necessary. The coroner's inquest on
the man who was killed, found that he came to
his death, as before described, BY some person
acting under authority Of the mayor, "in de-
fence Of the city property from the rayages Of
an excited mob unlawfblly congregnied for that
purpose near the city hall, on Saturday evening
