LATER FROM THE CANADAS. (Froni'the Montreal Transcript of Dec. 9.) On Thursday morning a party or the St. John's volunteers, under the orders of Lieut. Macdonald, brought into town three of the wretches who so wantonly and barbarously Murdered Chartratid. They had also six other prisoners, charged with political offences, who were all safely lodged for military custody, in the 1-16 use or Industry. Later in the day the John Bull steamer arrived from Sorel ; having on board a part of the troops which left Montreal under the eoniuriiitid of the Eloh. Colonel Gore. They brought up one prisoner, an old. man of 13otirgos. who if not assisting, was at all events pregent at the murder of Lieut. Weir. About half-past four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day' all.the state prisoners were delivered front the gaol into the custody of a military guard, and marched into the city. They. ivere lodged ih the late House of InduStry; (old gaol.) The rebels from St. Enstace are stated to have sawed-through the linibers of one . arch of the bridge built by Mi. Porteous, anti Communicating from that disturbed district with the Island hf Montreal. Ni) port of the bridge has been removed ; but it is in that state, that should artillery, or ammunition, or. an y heavy load attempt to pass, it would probably be precipitated into the rapids, such was at all events the intention of the operatUrs. ( From the Montreal Iferold of Dec. 9.) The remains of the late Lieut. Vs of her„ Majesty's 311 regiment. 4ere yesterday interred with the usual military honours. - All the ward and volunteer associations joined in th; procession, four deep, which was certainly the must numerous we ever saw in this country.  The shops and counting-houses in the city were closed from One to three o'clock. The windows of the houses in the streets through which the procession passed. down ,to Queen-square, Wee crowded with females. The Hey. Mr. Esitin officiated at the burying ground, and in beautiffil language which found a response in every breast, alluded Id the untimely fate of this,. gallant young officer. The interment took plai;e in the military Portion of the Scotch burying ground in Queen-square. We are indebted to Mr. Wilson, of the news-room, for the following copy of an express received front Mt. Pierce. of St. Johns. Gagnon, who is reported as killed, was one of those for whose apprehension a reward of £lOO ponndi was recently offered. "On Wednesday evening, the rebels under the eontioand of the famous Gagnon were returning from Swanton, Whither they_ bad been 'ror the purpose of procuring arms, they were attacked. by a party of the. Mississgooi volunteers, at Sleore'S Cower; about two miles from Misiis,quoi Bay.• The result of the attack was the complete defeat of the rebels, (lagoon and four or five others were kiiled;seven or eight were taken prisoners, together %,‘ lilt. two pieces of brass cannon, forty itand of arms, two watrgiots with baggage, &c., and four casks Of.tio wrier. The volunteers had but one hour previous to the attack received their arms. They did not wait for the proper ttistributi-o of ilsoot, but broke open the cases and immedively, Went out to it eei the rebels: . .  An express reached St. John's, with letters to the Hon. Robert Jones, stating the above faCtS, at 6 p.m. last evening. This messenger says the Opinion was current that Dr. Cott': was with the party, but hail the good luck' to escape." Felix L' Flossier. son of the seigneur of Varennes, was yesterday committed to prison on the charges of high treason and threatening to murder Mr. Pinette. Lord..Gosford has issued a proclamation, offering 2000 dollars for the discovery and apprehension of the murderefk of Lieut. Weir.  It was .reported at Lewiston that a large body of insurgents was marching from the Western districts to Hamilton. Very doubtful. Mackenzie's delay in attacking Toronto was occasioned by the hope of reinforcements, his original intention of surprising the town being frustrated  A letter from Rochester says that Messrs. Mackenzie, Rolph, and Bidwell had arrived at Lewiston. Not mentioned in the letter from that place. . _ _ . .  Tlie same letter slys that 2000 dollars reward has been offered for the arrest of Mr. Bidwell. We give no credit to this report.
