Another arrival from New York brings intelligence from Canada to

the 5th ultimo. There had been several meetings to address Lord DURHAM, but they were attended exclusively by the "British" party. The French inhabitants—" freeholders of the city of Quebec '—to the number of three thousand, held a meet- ing and passed resolutions condemning the •• wanton outrage" of burning Lord BROUGHAM'S effigy, and thanking his Lordship and Mr. LE ADKR for their "strenuous and persevering efforts in favour of the rights and liberties of the people of Canada." The " British" party in Montreal, however, had repeated " the out- rage; " but with Lord BROUGHAM they coupled—not Lord ELLENROROUGH Or any Tory. but—Lords MELBOURNE and GLENELG ! The following is a description of the operation, taken from the Teri paper, the Montreal Herald.

"TWO transparencies, each six feet by nine, vvele MOLIDted OD a carriage and drawn by snore jackasses, and followed lay a transparent coffin, borne by pall- bearers, who carried lighted torches. On the coffin the word 'Brougham' was painted. One of the transparencies represented Lotel Brougham seared on a jackass. with his face to the animal's tail, an imp of darkness leading the ass and exclaiming, Clone along, old boy !` while his Lord,hip says, protest against the legality of this ordinance ;' and a second devil, who has a hold of the it,s by his tail answers, Pro:est. and be d—d.' A finger-post, stuck up at a short distance, having on it the words Road to Hell.' The other transparency represents his Satanic Majesty as having fastened a cotri mound the necks of the three Lords, and hauling them to their appointed place, very much against their will. His Majesty. says, NO mistake; you must come.' Above the figures the following is painted—' Bioughain. Melbourne, and Glenelg treated au- Cott D-ing to merit.' These two tiansparencies form the sides of a box, on the ends of which is painted, • Thus may the enemies of British interests perish.' The procession moved from Victoria Hotel along several streets to Doric Square, where Lord Brougham and his noble fellow traitors were publicly banged and burned in effigy, amid the cheers of thousands. Lord Brougham is load of popularity ; sal, as the friend of the rebels in Canada, the 'loyal manifestation• of last night must be gall and wormwood to his malignant spirit. We had almost forgot to mention, that Lord Glenelg was represented as asleep, and that the public had been informed that roast Lamb would be had in Doric Square yesterday evening."

The reports of recent meetings, drillings. and associations con- tinued ; and the Upper Province was considered to be in as un- satisfactory a state as the Lower. The Montreal Transcript re- grets "to observe that the indications of a spirit of discontent in Upper Canada are not to be mistaken: we think them more serious than the reviving spirit of rebellion in the Lower Pro- vince." The same paper states, that a quantity of arms "destined for the ready insurgents had passed the lines, consisting of swords, musket, and some pieces of brass cannon. These have fallen ion) the hands of the loyal and vigilant Missisquoi Volun- teers."

It is impossible to form any accurate judgment of the present

state of the Canadas from perusing only one side of the various documents which profees to describe it. Lord DURHAM'S notion, communicated to the Delegates of the Provinces, that he had in three months restored tranquillity to Canatla, is invalidated by numerous statements in the provincial papers. Lord DUR- BAM, on his arrival in June, found peace outwardly restored, but the two parties exasperated against each other: one had already quarrelled with the Government at home, and the other was ready to quarrel. This state of things appears to remain as

be found it. The Canadian Liberals are stated in a letter from one of their leaders, now lying before us, to be " as united and indignant as ever :" and the feelings of their oppo- nents, the Anti-Liberals, may be learned from their news- papers. Lord DURHAM has become suddenly popular with the latter party, only because he is supposed to have given unpar- donable offence to the Liberals. The Upper Canada journalists quoted by their Montreal brethren are loud in their complaints of ill-treatment. Claims of compensation, for property destroyed and work dune during the late troubles' have not been liquidated. Whenever a " loyalist " is punished for crime, the mild treat- ment of WOLFRED NELSON and his associates is thrown in the teeth of the Government. It will not be easy to satisfy this pre- eminently loyal " British " party. They too can think and speak of separation from the Mother Country. When the Liberals speak of it, however, it is treason ; when the Tories use the same language, it is "good old English spirit" and " patriotism." " To the whole of our fellow countrymen and to the loyal Canadians, we would say, palter no longer with yourselves; speak out like men and Britons. 31oral courage demands that you should raise the cry, and make it sound on every hill, in every valley, on every plain in the province. Demand that Justice be inflicted on the transgtessors of the law ; demand that you have secu- rity for life and property, or demand the alternative, A PEACEABLE sseAna. SION FROM THE MOTHER COUNTRY! ! !"—Montrcal Herald, Sept. II.

. Paragraphs like the following (part of a letter from Montreal, of the 19th September,) are to be found without number in the Administration and Tory papers. "Messrs. ChJfers and Cassarer, two Magistrates residing near St. Cesaite, bave arrived here, having been ordered from their homes by threats of being badly treated. The garden of the former and that of the parish priest who also stands charged with the crime of loyalty, have been dug up and destroyed."-- Quebec Mercury, Sept. 20.

The Church question is a plague in Upper Canada, as at home; and brings into collision the so-called " English " party and the English Colonial 011ice. The Morning Courier, a " British" paper, treats with extreme derisioa Mr. PACKINGTON'S speech in the House of Commons in favour of establishing endowed rectories in Upper Canada- " He proposes to establish six or seven rectories in every township of ten miles square, and endow these with WO or 600 acres each. The lands which would still remain of the reserve., alter such endowments, might be appro_ priuteil for the maintenance of the higher members of the hierarchy. He pre- sumes that the erection of rectories will be proceeded with ; and, carried away by the vehemence of his eloquence, he constitutes himself, for the moment, the representative of the inhabitants of Upper Canada and implores the Ministry to remember their 'prompt and fit in loyalty' in ;he recent rebellion, and caps the climax by stating that 'all they ask in return is a full anti fair participation' in our Constitution,'—a dominant church to wit. Men of Upper Canada, is this true ?"

The Liberal papers, which are very numerous, of all sizes, and in both languages, abound in fierce invective against the Government. The sufferers in the late struggle are spoken of as martyrs.

"ANOTHER CANADIAN VICTIM TO THE BRITISH JUGGERNAUT.— Joseph Tousaint Drolet, Esq., Representative of the County of Vercheres in the late Assembly of Lower Canada, died at his residence in St. Marc on the 12th inst. This consistent Patriot was immured for seven months in the Durham dungeons in Montreal, and has fallen a victim to the atrocious despo. tism under which his country groans. Shortly after he was liberated—his op. pressors not daring to face a jury with hittr—he was attacked by a stroke of apoplexy, from which he never recovered." 'DEATH or ANOTHER PATRIOT.—David Taylor, one of the prisoners Confined hy Van _Demon Arthur in the Fort at Kingston, died on the '29th ultimo, of fever, brought on by the harsh treatment which he experienced during his confinement."

There is tnore of the same kind, too violent and abusive for re- publication. Frequent desertions from the British army are mentioned. The soldiers run away in considerable parties, and almost inva- riably succeed in making vet their escape. Such is the state of a country, in which Lord DURHAM was led to believe that he had restored tranquillity and confidence in three months.

It will be seen from a letter in a subsequent part of the paper, that Mr. ROEBUCK, who has not recently been before the public, has been called from his retirement by the events in Canada. His subject is "Lord DURHAM'S Administration." "The future," Mr. ROEBUCK does not touch upon ; for Lord DURHAM has not yet had an opportunity of explaining his policy and Intended measures. But what he has dune is matter of history, and a fair subject of animadversion. Mr. ROEBUCK, it will be said, is not an unprejudiced censor—he is the advocate of the " French " party. No doubt of it- He was the recognized agent of the House of Assembly in Parliament ; and he remains firm in his adherence to his defeated friends, after all hope or probability of an advo- cate's honorarium has vanished. Few learned gentlemen, pro- bably, of those all so zealous now on the winning side, would do ittepuch. Will Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, when the Whigs have no i'olIgirdtlleCee honours to bestow, continue to devote his energies

'Ass-their: NI:gees? Were thete no other reason than his unewerv-

Trig fidelity test% °eine; cause, Mr. ROEBUCK has a claim to state case of hie' lents in any Independent journal; and it will • be seen that, thus far, he states it with force and clearness cer tainly, and perhaps with sternness, but with perfect temperateness and propriety of expression.
