Howard, the mmander, who entertained Arnold, reach 86, and \u201cbre ave other members of the expedition about the \u201ctntry now, or recently were, from 80to 100.My {friend Blake, of Southampton, tells the whole \u201cay as coud as new, _ But this is extra.The journal fell into Arnold's à nds, and he suggested the route, and hence receiv- He command.Under such auspices, volunteers Ewe scarce.[have heard of bat fur, two of whom re Burr and Matthew Ogden, then both of Now wey.General Dearborn commanded a company, eral Morgan commanded another (of rilles,) s Meral Simpson was in a minor station.Henry, Imany years a distinguished Judge in Pennsylva- got himself into one of the companies from that te, being but 16 years of nge\u201417 the day they sed the De Loup into Canada.You see, as I d before, it was a motley concern, but there was bfek init: and they needed all there was : inthe f diary use of the word, indeed, some more.It E's about this time when they landed.The 17th PM September was passed at Newburyport, and a tk after progress was making from Fort Western wards, For a time, of course, there was game.avers were thick among the rest, and pork was Emetimes exchanged for their tails, at a hargain.EIntrate trout abounded too in the thousand little Flies above here ; large, luscious ones, in deep cool g ¥ing-heads, dark-hued, with beautiful crimson Wl; Henry's description is enough to bring tears E \\jour eyes\u2014to say nothing of chub, or the jerk- EX of moose meat.But harder times came on apace.Ee were sent back disabled, n.d some were pass- ¥ who must have perished.Half a biscuit and a square inch of pork was a supper, while cran- dires were served as a God-send.Judge Henry Rl kes record of getting the thigh of a duck.Then iE flour gave cut, In marching along the beach RY would rush from the line, and greedily dig up 8 with their fingers, and swallow them raw.me boiled their mocassins for the bioth\u2019s sake.General Dearborn used to relate that he gave up his favorite dog at last to a famishing party, who consumed every edible portion of the creature, as it were in the twinkling of an eye, and then gathered the bones pulverised and boiled them.The only other dog in the march had long before gone the way of all flesh, dish and fowl.Vor some days before reaching Canadian houses, life was sustained on the soup made of a barber's powder bag.The rapture with which the settlements on the Chaudière were descried, may be imagined ; especially the \u201cfirst house,\u201d which, by the way, is said to Le now standing, and the first to this day.The cattle first driven in by advanced parties here were hailed by the starving army with faint huzzas.Henry speaks of receiving a present at this time, of a slice of bacon-fat, done np in à paper, from a captain; and here he first met with Burr, then not yet of age like himself, who, it appears, was considered *\u201c a young gentleman of much life and activity,\u201d and had © acted with great spirit and resolution\u201d on the march.So Arnold says in a note of introduction (from Point aux Trembles to Genc I Montgomery, whose Aid he became) which is stili preserved.So much for his military debut.How so many of these people strvived their suf- feriugs ls a puzzle.low they got through the route can be explained only by the tremendous ener- ry of Arnold, who, by tie acknowledgment of all his early soldiers 1 have ever talked with, was first rate in his line\u2014and by the corresponding spirit of the mass of his men, who were probably picked by himself, From Augusta up, they were guided by two ludians, Au old town Indian woman is living still, or was lately, who is the daughter of one of the two.The time of the march was about two months, New-York, Oct.21.\u2014T1E PRESENT HIGH PRICE OF Foon.\u20141t is a disgraceful fact, that when ilour and all kinds of bread stuffs are scarce aud exceedingly dear in this corutry, so much so, as to threaten the most serious inconvenience, if not absolute want, to many thousands of indigent families, that the quantity of grain consumed for that vilest of purposes, the manufacture of whiskey, is not sensibly diminished.The New-York Commercial says, one hundred thousand bushels of grain are consumed monthly in the city of New York for that purpose.This is at the rate of two hundred and forty thousand barrels per annum, which might be converted into nourishing food\u2014but which are converted into poison! This is a fact worthy the attention of the philanthropist as well as the adept in political economy \u2014and is thus commented on by the rble editor of the Commercial Advertiser : \u201c We are perfectly aware that the investigation of this fact, if it is a fact, and of its co: sequences, would involve a discussion of the broadest and most important principles of political economy, for which we have neither time nor the requisite knowledge of that very dubious science.But we venture to ask whether the diversion of so vast a quantity of flour from its legitimate destination, to wit, the ovens of bakers, has not some effect in creating the scarcity which causes the high price ; and whether, if the two hundred and forty thousand barrels were not made into whiskey, the barrel would be sold at five or six dollars, instead of the nine or ten at which we believe it is now held by the dealers.We do not enter, at preseat, upon the consideration.of various other highly important topics connected swith the serious facts to which we have adverted , =.h as the fatal influence upon society and upon individuals, exerted by these twelve hundred thousand bushels of grain, after their submission to the worm of the still\u2014the horrors of intemperance \u2014the corrupted, degraded frames of its victims\u2014the wretchedness of their families\u2014the crowded state of our penitentiaries, state-prisons and hospitals, mainly imputable to that terrible vice\u2014or the numberless offences against the laws of God and of man, of which it is the remote or immediate cause.We are endeavouring to consider the matter, simply as «ae of dollars and cents; and in doing so we would ask if there is any sufficient and practicable remedy ?Can any body suggest a mode, within the compass of legislation, by which, without producing other as great mischiefs, these two hundred and forty thousand barrels of flour can be rescued from the mash-tub and bronght into the oven ?If sucha mode can be devised, it would prove a blessing, not only to this city, but to the whole country, and perhaps to the world itself.The question may be well worth asking by the way, what becomes of all the whiskey distilled from these twelve hundred thousand bnshels.\u2014We have a suspicion that much the larger portion ofit is converted by an easy but efficient chemical process, into good French brandy, and sold at something like four times its market value as the product of rye or corn.We have seen a glass of whiskey from the still, transmuted in half a minute by the addition of eight or ten drops from one phial and twice as many from another, into a high colored, high flavored liquid, at which many a veteran toper would smack his lips, in the honest belief that it was genuine Cognac.Ah! chemistry, chemistry ! what an arrant-deceiver art thou: playing more tricks than a whole company of magicians, and enacting changes as great and as puzzhng to all but the iui.tiated, as those of the best conjurgr in the land\u2014 Bhtz, Adrien or Rahab Den Marehael 1\u201d Gov, Tverett, of Massachusetts has appointed the Ist of December as a Day of Thanksgiving, The following is an extract from his Proclamation : The experience of every person of reflection will suggest unnumbered causes of thankfulness, for which \u2014if his mind is not wholly insensible to religious impressions\u2014he will, in looking back upon another year, feel it at once his duty and his privi- lewe, to pour out his heart in gratitude to that Being who in the midst of our unworthiness and transgressions continues to crown us with his mercies.Besides what concerns us as judividuals, the season of the year calls upon us to express our heartfelt thanks to the Author of all Good, for the extraordinary prosperity of the past year, and especially for the ingathering of another harvest, which, notwithstanding the partial failure of a portion of the fruits of the earth, has still left us in the enjoyment of an amouut of blessings, which demands our warmest gratitude, The great political and social privileges which distinguish onr condition as a people\u2014the blessings of a free go- vernment\u2014of mild and equitable laws impartially administered\u2014and of u general state of progress, require of us, on every suitable occasion an earnest and publ: ; acknowledgement ; and we ought especially at this time, to render our thanks to the Ruler of Nations, that he has been pleased to continue to us the blessings of Peace, The prevalence of health throughout our land should direct onr thoughts to that Good Being, who has cast our lot FRIDAY, 4th NOVEMBER, 1836.ina salubrious climate and has sparod us the visitations of infections disease ; and above all other grounds of thankfulness, we should approach the throne of Grace with our heartiest aspirations of praise for the gift of the Gospel and the hope of pardon and eterual life through our Lord and Savicur Jesus Christ.With our humble tribute of thanks to the Great own mercies seem to lead appropriately to those deeds of beneficence to which the frie destitute look on their fellow beings, Aud the good people of the Commonwealth are respectfully invited to keep the customary festivities of the occasion, within the bounds prescribed by temperance, moderation, and the professed character of the day ;\u2014and to, abstain from and discountenance every species.of amusement which tends to excess,\u2014which intérrupts the devotion of others, \u2014or in any way violates the peace that ought to reign, on a day set apart by a Christian people for Public Acts of Relirious duty.Proverry or Rocuesrer\u2014Rochester is undoubtedly the greatest flour manufactory in the world, The flour mills are masses of stone edilices, some of ; them eight stories high and nearly three hundred { feet long.There are twenty-one mills with ninety- six rons of stone in this city.Twenty thousand ready for market, 5000 barrels daily.It is estimai ted that during the year which terminated with the irst of Aug.lust, six hundred thousand barrels of Mlour have been sent to market from Rochester, vont, about four millious of dollars.\u2014 (Albany Eve.our.i A Spank ExTtiNcuisiier.\u2014Mr.Gabriel Winton, a Louisiana plaster, has discovered an cffectual method of extinguishing the sparks from the chimneys | of locomotives and steam engines, by conveying the escape or superabundaut steain by pipe or otherwise | into the chimneys, at a convenient distance * over the Loilers or fire.Tho sparks are instantly « extinguished by the vapor alone, and palpably so, ' should that vapor be condensed in an aqueous form, He has succeeded in every trial made on the engines used in ginning his cotton, and making his sugar; | aud has taken out a patent far his invention.New Process 1v SmeurTisG Inox.\u2014At the late meeting of the British Association in Bristol, Mr.Mushat exhibited some specimens of malleable iron, which he prepared by a peculiar process, and gave au exposition of his views in relation to the theory of smelting as usually conducted.The iron when first reduced in the upper part of the furnace, is in the malleable state, but in its progress downwards is, in virtue of exposure to a higher tempe- t rature, and the redundancy of charcoal it encoun- | ters, converted first into steel and finally into pig iiron.This new process consists in submitting the ore un the action alone whirh it experiences in the upper part of the furnace\u2014that .is, in restraining the heat and furnishing but a limited supply of the carbon ; and operating by such method, and without.the use of lime, he stated that he was able to obtain at once, and by a single process, iron soft enough to be forged into nails.SCIENTIFIC AsseciarioN.\u2014 This valuable Association was established some years since, for the purpose of concentrating and bringing together in annual meetings, a congress or convention of tiie distinguished scientific men of Britain and other countries.Among the names present on this occasion, we perc«ive those of Prof.Sedgwick, Sir David Brewster, Drs, Dalton aud Buckland, Mr.Davies Gilbert, Dr.Lardner, Von Raummer.Sir David Brewster read a report on the rock salt lens, | Lubbock on tidal observations and u lunar theory, i [we do not know if he brought in Mr, Locke\u2019s moon : hoax.] Whewell on the levels of the land and sea.Wheatstone on electric light.Sir W.Hamilton on Gerraud\u2019s mathematical researches.Watson on the phosphate of soda.Effects of electricity on pota- | toes, by F.Lisbon, On the power of certain gases Lo prevent the action on platina of oxygen and hydrogen, by the lamented Dr.Henry (since dead,) &c.Notices of vertebrated animals in tho Craig, by Mr.Charlesworth.On bone caverns near Den- bigh, by Mr.Bowman.On the zoology of North America, by Dr.Richardson.On locomotive car- waves to the improvement of navigation of shallow riversand canals, The Marquis of Northumberland is agreed upon as President.The greater number of foreigners at St.Peters- burgh, by far, are Germans ;

Something should be immediately done by the wealthy portion of the community, or we may witness scenes of misery and crime before spring, which the heart sickens to contemplate.On Saturday cvenirx, early Mr.John Scott, in the employ of Mr.Ratiray, was knocked down, near the New Murket, by three individuals, armed with bludgeons, and severely hurt, By the exertions of the Dolice officers, aided in somo instances by the citizens who are on the alert several individuals hava been arrested, and confined in gaol as suspicious characters, who cannot give an account of themselves.One recently taken by Mr.Delise, had a long sharp-pointed knife concealed about his person.A robbery was aitempted between Saturday and Sunday, at the premises of Mr.Cringan, near the mouth of the Canal.The delinquent, Liddell, was shot at by a person on the premises, but escaped unhurt.He was subsequently taken about three o'clock and lodged in gaol.Montreal, Nov.2.\u2014We understand that a mercantile firm of high standing in this city are sending an agent to Ireland, by one of the fall ships, for the purpose of buying up pork for the Canadiun market.\u2014/ Herald.) Whether the constitutionalists themselves will be gulled by it, is not our business.It is their\u2019s alone ; and those who have already permitted themselves to be cheated repeatedly by the paper in question, will probably permit themselves to be again imposed on.\u2019 a.But Reformers, for whom we write will pin no faith to the Herald's tale.As for the insinuation that Mr.Papineau would, in any, or the most remote, manner, assist in filling up the blanks of any mandamuses which might be sent ont to Lord Gosford\u2014even if we should admit that such would be submitted by him\u2014we kuow enough of Mr.i riages, by Prof.Mosoley.On the application of | such a ceremony.Papineau to feel authorised in saying that he would at once decline assisting at, or being a party to, Mr.Papinean goes for the clec- tion of the Legislative Council by the people, not by to retain any English servaat whom you may take out with you, as the nobility decoy them away from you.One of the first questions asked me was, whether\u201c I had an English servant» Tanswered \u201c yes; that the veriest hussies who are brought out at the hasty selection of some merchant to attend upon his family, are presently \u201coff,\u201d and received into noblemen\u2019s families as nursery maids, at £40 per an.num, for which they have little else to do than to ride about in the carriage with the children.This is much better than going to Van Diemen\u2019s Land.\u2014 (Irip to St.Petersburgh, in Monthly Repository.) UNITED STATES, New York, Oct.29.\u2014We understand that the sales of public lands go on still for vast amounts,\u2014 the average for several months past, being no less than two millions a month.This is enough to support all the expences of our government without a cent from commerce.The New Orleans Ree of the 14th says, ©\u201c The slave who struck some citizens in Canal-street some weeks since, has been tried and found guilty ; and is sentenced to be hung on the 24th.\u201d UPPER CANADA, Kingston, Oct.27.\u2014We sincerely regret, that during our temporary absence Mr.Jeffers should so far have compromised our opinions, humble as they are, as to have made the British Whig a vehicle for invective against the ro-union of the two him.With less than that, neither be, nor the people of this Province, will be satistied.\u2014( Vindicator.)

and on being informed of the voice and requests of this loyal peo- plo, assented to their prayer, has been pleased to dismiss the ministry, and charged their Excellencies Viscount da Sa da Bandeira and Count de Lumares with the formation of a new one, the latter with the Presidency and portfolio of the war department, and the former, after being urged by the Queen and his Highness, accepted the portlolio for the finance department.This agreeable news reached the Locio square at 6 o\u2019clock this morning, and was received with the greatest demonstrations of joy ; the troops inunediately filed off and marched to the Nocessi- dades square, where they passed in military array in front of the palace of their beloved Sovereign, in whose countenance unequivocal signs were depicted how much she sympathized with tho general fecling of the Portuguese.At 12 o\u2019clocke a report having Leeu spread that ihe Queen was wavering, in consequence of the advice she has subsequently received from her late ministers, who are at the Palace, all the troops with one accord turned out, and marched to the Campo de Carigne, and from thence to the Necessidades, when the Queen appeared at the balcony and assured them of her goud faith, with which they were perfectly satisfied, and have just returned to their quarters again.Not a single life has been lost in the affair, in fact.no fighting took place.Colonel Gil Guedes, of the 1st Cavalry, was fired at;

M.Silva Carvalho, M.Freire, the Duke Terceira and Palmella, and various others, are in the Palace of the Queen, and if they only could get on board the fleet, depend upon it that they would in an instant put down the rioters.Tha Duke of Palmella\u2019s windows have all been broken, and Colonel Gil Guedes was lired at two hours since, but duckily he escaped unhurt, although his horse was shot udder him.Colonel Moura, lately of the Municipal Guard, and Colonel Soares Caldeira, a deputy, have been ringleaders last night.Various Peers, when applied to this morning, have unbesitatingly declared that sooner than join such a cause, they would forfeit their lives.It appears that the clubs were divided in opinion as to whether M.Silva Carvalho and all his collengues should be assas.inated or not.The memorial presented to the Queen is being printed.On the 6th of September a battle was fought in Valencia in which the Queen\u2019s troops were defeated with heavy loss.We have already published accounts of a subsequent battle, which resulted in favour of the Queen.The Moniteur confirms theappointment of Count Septime de Latour Maubourg to be Ambassador to Spain.The official journal also contains the promulgation of two treaties,\u2014one of May 21, botween France and Belgium, regulating the couveyunce, by post, of letters and journals.Bourse, Sept.17.\u2014The King has not come to town to-day.The Prefect of the Seine retmus his post, as well ns M.Jussieu, his Secretary General, Marshal Soult is momentarily expected in town.M.Mole is not so ill but that he can give audience to certain parties in his confidence.The Courrier Français siys, that if the rumours goverally spread nbout are to Le believed, the Ministry, far from tending to complete itsclf, is nearer upon its dissolution.It is not only the bad health of M, Mole that forbids him undertaking anything serious, but the state of that of M Martin (dn Nord) is equally unsatisfactory.It seems that Messrs, Mule and Guizot are still contending for a majority in the Cabinet, and that the only ar rangement can take place is the admission of General Bernard for War on one side, in compensation for M.Dumon for Commerce on the other.Guizot would then have upon his side Messrs.Du.chatel and Dumon; M, Mole would have General Bernard and Admiral Rosamel.The.uncertain votes would be those of Messrs.Persil and Gnspe- rin, upon whom eaeh side would reckon, and who might deceive in turn the leaders of each party.sondon, Sept.19th.\u2014Tho German papers are much occupied with descriptions of the occurrences at Prague, cither in preparing for, or the performance of the ceremonial of tho Emperor\u2019s coronation.The fear of the cholera, however, appears to have deterred many strangers from visiting tho place, and as an attractive spectacle, the coronation has proved a failure.The malady, though not so de- structive as in 1831, was still very formidable, and bd EN extending its ravares amongst the higher classes.The Prince Archbishop of Olmutz is amongst the Inst victims, and his death has much increased the prevailing uneasiness, It was at one time proposed to postpone the coronation of the Empross.That of the Emperor took place on the 18th, when he was crowned King of Bohemia, .London, (Saturday evening.)\u2014The singnlar advance in the value of Exchequer Bills, in the face of every reason for a decline in Consols, has created an intense degree of attention, since it wust be manifest that notwithstanding the advance which the Bank of England has caosed in the rate of interest on money, they have determined to get the Chancellor of the Exchequer out of lis dilemma, with regard to the advertised Exchequer Bills, by supporting the market for the unfunded debt.The alarm which prevailed upon the revolutionar, movement in Lisbon was considerably dissipated by an in the stronzest mnaer to Me.Montizambert for his very liberal offer of the nse of his house, in St.John's suburbs, during the winter, rent free, The Chairman having left the chair, it was moved by Mr, Kerr, secouded by Mr.Burton, 7.\" That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Chairman, for his able condact in the chair.8.Resolved, That the gentlemen composing the Committee be requested to attend at 3 r,s.on Friday, 4th instant, at the House of Assembly.Adjourned.s.W.H.Luscie, Acting Secretary.A number of the members of the congregation of St.Andrew\u2019s Church, in this city, have lately caused to be put up in the church two very haud- some monuments to the late Dr, Spark and Dr.Iauxsess, ministers of that church.official communication from the Porturuese embassy, signed Ly Senor Moncarvo, which stated that the new Portuguese Ministry would fully recognize the claims of the public creditors of Portugal, and that the public credit of that country wanld be hy them inviolably preserved.In the British Funds These monuments were executed in London last summer, and the expences have been covered by voluntary subseiiption.They consist of two beautiful pieces of white statuary marble upon a back ground of grey.The sculptures are the arms of the Church of Scotland, at the top the burning the transactions have been very limited to-day.bush, with the matto \u201cnc tamen consumebatur,\u201d The Consol Market has been much depressed, as\u2019 aud under the inscription the Holy Bible opened at well as the heavier securities.Consols closed ut 894 5-8 money, and 893 a 7 8 time, By letters from Amsterdam, it appears that the managers of the bauk of that city, on hearing of the rise of interest here, have also made an advance, which must be taken as evidence of their intention not to be saddled with the consequences of the reaction here, nnd to excludes of our foreign stock from finding purchasers in that market.Tue tiarvest \u2014 This nation has again to thank the bounty of Providence for an abundaut crop of rain, being the fourth year of plenty in succession, Tore corn has been carried from the field to the stack-yard during the present week, in the north of England, than in any week of the year.The weather has been fair and favorable to harvest work since yesterday se\u2019nnight, though we have had little.sunshine, and the samples brouæht to market will, on that account, be cold and less saleable than after the corn hins been weathered in the stacks.The supply will, however, be a fair average both of grain and straw, and the yield under the Nail will, we conjecture, scarcely fall short of the lust year's crop.\u2014 (Leeds Mer.) The Toronto papers of the 26th, Kingston papers of the 20th Oct., and Montreal papers of Wednesday, contain nothing of moment.The Cornwall paper of the 31st mentions the setting out of Mr.\u2018 McLean and the other members for \u2018Toronto, to be at the opening of the Legislature on Tuesday next.ttt Since Friday last the weather has been wilder the thermonieter rising to 45° in the day time, and the fields nearly bare of snow.This morning it has begun to snow alter a north-casterly wind which has prevailed since Wednesday.The temperature continues mild.tt pra ra The citizens, by their unantuity and exertions in forming and supporting Patroles in the different divisions of the town, have succeeded in checking the acts of vicleace and the depredations which lately prevailed to an alarming extent in this city.The sources of the evil, however, still remain, \u2014 the inefficiency of the public anthority, tho want of proper places of detention for criminals, and the numerons disorderly taverns, lodring-liouses and places of ill fame, and receivers of stolen goods.There is reason Lo believe that the acts which have cast disgrace upon the city, were occasioned by a few persons conuected with these places of resort, joined by the adepts in crime discharged from gaol at the Criminal Term in September.They received ain accession of force by some sailors who | had left their ships, on its being decided in the Court , of Kings Bench that they could uct be legally con- : fined in gaol lor desertion, in consequence of the! expiration of the Provincial Act providing for a House of Correction.They can, however, Le confined as rogues and vagabonds, if found under suspicions circumstances by the Patroles, aud will again find it more advantageous to abide by their ships and their engagements; and the night-walkers, male and female, thieves, and dvuuken persons, can also be temporarily, at least, provided for.Getting | rid of these characters, Quebec wiil be, as it has generally been, n remarkably quiet city; and the | character of its peaceable and industrious population bo restored, while their property and persons will be secured, The discovery of the murderers of Belteau and Bacon is, however, essential to the reputation and | security of the city and its inhabitants.So long as it con be said that inoffensive citizens going or returning from their daily labour can be killed in the streets with impunity, there will be a slur on the character of the city, and its inhabitants will be without that security to which they are justly entitled by their general rood conduct.tT HOUSE OF INDUSTRY.At a public meeting held this day (Wednesday) at the Exchange to take into consideration the necessity of establishing a louse of Industry, \u2014W.Price, Lsquire, in the chair.The meeting was opened by the Chairman who explained the object for which they had assembled.Mr.Pemberton seconded the Chairman, forcibly laid down the absolute wecessity there existed tor establishing a House of [ndustry and concluded hy moving the Following Resolation.Moved by Mr, l'embe ton, seconded by Mr, Cuchi ran, 1.That it appears to this necting that a Mouse of lndustry ought to be eatablished in this city te provide, especially in winter mouths, for the wants and destitution of the poorer classes, and thereby put down the practice of street begin.Moved by Mr, Vautelson, secouded by Mr, Lau- gevin, 2.That a Committee of thirty-five members he appointed with power to add to their numbers, fer the purpose of carrying the above object Into effuct, 2.Resolved, unavimously, That all the Clas y- men of the diferent dénominations Le cousitered ex-oflicio members of the Committee, Moved by Mi.Kerr, seconded by Mr Monti-, rambert, ! 4.That the following gentlemen do form the said Committee : : Messrs, Pemberton, Buraet, Bateau, relletier, : Rémi Matouin, {lon AW.Cochrane, DY Daly, Capt.Wright, Sheriff Sewell; T.Trig, iluot, Capt.Bay-| ficld, Lonis Fortier, John Fisher, John Neilson, 3.B.Forsyth, Colin MeCallum, Jetterr Hale, Massue, !
