CANADA.  Our latest Wei from Montreal are of the 26th of September. At that time Lord Elgin was understood to be still on the sho7s of Lake Erie. A rumour had been spread of hinaving taken a house at Thorold or Drummondville for three or four months. The reason assigned was that the severe winter of Lower Canada, it was feared, would be too much for the delicate health of Lady Elgin. Circumstantial lies haveof late been so extensively issued and circulated in Montreal that one scarcely knowns what to believe. Of this category may be the positive statement made on the 24th of September the cabinet had come to a decision that the seat of government ought to be removed from Montreal, and that a messenger had been despatched on the 25th to intimate the resolution to the GovernorGeneral. The disturbances at By town are said to have been renewed. They are understood to have been much exaggeritited. A special commission to inquire into them has been demanded by the liberals ot By town. ~` The news from the cotton-growing districts is still unfavourable, and there is now little doubt that the crop will be much below an average. The market is indifferently supplied, and prices have advanced fully halt a cent. A New York paper, of the latest date, gives the following commercial news :  last three days he has to live. This is technically called being ausgesetat (exposed), as curiosity generally induces crowds of people to visit the poor creature condemned to die.) From this time  the accounts vary. According to some the Count attempted to stab himself with a dagger, others say that he tore open his throat with a nail. It is not positively known whether he is mortally wounded, but it is an indisputable fact that he is still alive. Count Stephen Caroly has been sentenced to two years' arrest in a fortress, a fine of 150,000 florins (£15,000,) and to the restitution of the sum of money which he had received from the rebel-junta for the formation of a cavalry regiment. Fekete, notoriously good-for-nothinc .• fellow, who, after the month of March was the l.cader of the so called Egalite troop,' and subsequently guerilla chief, captured an imperial money chest, which he did not. even think it worth while to deliver up to the Revolutionary Government. He was executed this morning by means of powder and ball." Although the preceding account is anything but lucid, it is evident that souse terrible tragedy has taken place at Pesth.—anTespendent of Times. In reference to the above, the Times says :—" The German papers received on Saturday throw no light whatever on that important part of the letter of our correspondent at Vienna which refers to the executions at Pesth. There appears no reason to doubt the attempted suicide of the unfortunate Count Louis Batthiyany, by puncturing his neck in several places with a needle or nail. It was hoped at Pesth that the penalty of death would be commuted in the event of the Count surviving, for his life was in imminent danger from the haemorrhage which had supervened, and which the surgeons were making every exertion to stop. The town of Pesth was much agitated, but no disturbance had taken place."  The market for cotton to-day was languid, and sales compared with previous transactions, were limited. The flour market remained about the same, with rather more doing, and a fair demand for the eastern trade, with some inquiry for low grades, for export. Of southern brands, there continued to be a fair demand, at steady prices. Rye flour was quiet, and corn meal was easier. Prime wheat was in good demand for middling, with sales of Canadian, in bond, for export, and of southern and western on terms stated below. Rye continued in fair demand. Barley was in better supply, and prices ruled lower. Corn continued in limited supply, and prices were firmer for all kinds, with pretty time sales, chiefly for shipment each. Oats were in better supply, and easier at previous rates.- Pork was more active and sales of both mess and prime pretty freely made, including a lot of prime mess to go out of the market. There was no change in beef. —Butter for common,was dull, while good dairies of this state were in fair demand, at full prices. Cheese was in fair demand for export Sugars were quiet, but prices steady. There was also a rather limited business doing in ciffee, but prices ruled about the same. AstiEs.---The market was steady, with sales of 250 bbls. pots at 7 dols. 12k; while pearls were dull at 6 duls. 50.
