The sub‘ of recip:ocel Trade between the U ' States and the British North American provinces has been long in its-

t «chm he recently arri at mat . 'l'he.tr«:l; ieted, lI0'IOVOl',' between Mr. Mercy and r. Crariipton, the

British Minider, is said to have proceeded so thr sstisfictorily that, if the consent of the Colonial Legislatures be obtained, it will be put in force very shortly. In the meanwhile, knowi what are t e general opinions entertain across the Atlantic, it may not be out of place to give a rssiisis o the principal points and facts under discus- sion.

In 1783, Mr. Pitt, the Chancellor ol_the Exchequer, introduced a bill for establish- ' reci s intercourse between Great Britain and America, which would have gone into operation but for his resig- nation. In the close of 1830 the United States opened to our Colonial ships all her ports of entry and delivery, and, as a result. of this policy, the value of her exports in- creased threefold in ten years. In 1 we

reciprocated the liberal policy of the Arne- ricen Government. In l8-I8 edele tion sent to Canada e terms o reci- procity, but Congress failed to legislate on the subject. The treaty recentl ncgoci- atcd provides, we believe, for the rec inter- change ofthe national roducts of the res- pective countries, and t s free navigation, by the Americans, of the rivers St. w- rence and St. John. If, as we presume, Canada is to be allowed to carry all her exports to foreign nations, in lruriritu, through the American railroads, rivers, and canals, to be shipped from United States

rts during the lo period when the St.

aivrence is closed y ice, it will greatly facilitate Commerce. Such a system must also secure a valuable Trade to the Ameri- cans, greatly enlarge their business on their rivers, lakes, railroads, and canals, and lead to extensive purchases by Canada of United States’ exports. The Shipping Interests on each side of the American lakes should mutually enjoy the internal Coasti ra c The free right to parti- cipation in the fisheries in British waters, and permission to dress, cure and dry the fish on our coasts and shores, are to be con- ceded. e Americans are willing to give up the duty on fish, if admitted to a parti- cipation in the privileges enjoyed bfi.Brit- ish subjects on the fishing-grounds. ithcr- to they have been debarrcd from approach- ing the shores within three miles, and the preservation of this right by armed vessels has led to much unpleasant feeling, and to confiscation and fines.

The American fisheries have made but little progress, in spite of hountiea and every species of encouragement: they have laboured under many disadvantages in having to salt their fish hastily on board in bulk, and without any convenience for dry- ing and prcparin them for market. With the advantage o being able to rosecute the fishery in small boats from t e shore, our Colonial fishermen, owing to the supe- rior quality of their cure, and the large takes of fish in the bays and indentu of t e coast, have hitherto been able to compete successfully in the American markets, not- withstanding the heavy foreign duty levied, and they must certainly stand in a better

sition by the obolition of this im st.

abrador, Prince we Island, cw Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, the district of Gaspe, and other s of Lower Cans- da in the Gulf, woul all greatly benefit, it the produce of their fisheries could be taken to Boston, and other American ports, free of duty.

Nothing would tend more to the improve- ment of the financial condition of Newfound- land than the openi of new markets for the produce of her fi ries. The old and contracted system of Trade heretofore pur- sued there is re rtcd to be totally inade- quote to the in ependent maintenance of her operative population, many of whom are consequently thrown upon the Govern- ment for sup rt, or driven to remu- nerative emp oyment in the United States. The adoption of some well-arran ed mea- sure of reciprocal Trade wou induce capitalists of cute rise to e in e trade infuse new life and cnc into the pursuits of the people, and devo re the van do.-mm: gnd neglected resources of that extensive island. The imports and exports of that Colony have been almost stationery for the last ten years, and a debt of IN,- tl00l. has accumulated. The removal of the dut of twent r cent., now imposed by theyAmericau’s Poen British-caught fish, would open a valuable market for its staple

cs. P The United States Trade with Canada and the Lower Provinces is increasing annually, and is becominfiquite an import- ant item in their foreign ominerce. The total value of the Trade, both ways, two o exceeded 19 million dollars,

lI::l'rh.] four millions sterling. It has grown up, within a few years, under a partial

relaxation of strin nt commercial regula- tions, and c ' y by the coui lets re- moval of those restrictions a rep and im-

itant increase would necessarily follow.

The resources of our various American provincesqare com- paratively undeveloped, and wait but the rose of settlement, the development of industry, capital, and enterprise. Large rtions of Upper and Lower Canada, New Eorunswick, and Newfoundland, are, in many respects, wildsrnesses and wastes- yet ofl'eri numberlesa advantages for agriculture improvement, manufacturing operations. and the prosecution of the fish- eries. - It is often affirmed that our North Ameri- can Colonies would be better customers to us if they belonged to the United States, or were independent. is is, owever, a very erroneous impression. For years past Lower Canada-—aye, and Nova Scotia and New Brunswick too—has progressed as fast as any of the North-Eastern States, and U per Canada asfast as any of those in the est. The value of Britis goods con- sumed by the population of our North American provinces last year was a little over 23s. per head; whilst the United States only consumed such g s to the amount of about Ms. 6d. per head. The balance of Trade, in proportion to population, as com- ared with the United States, is, therefore, decidedly in favour of the Colonists.

A GALLANT AND SUCCESFUL EXPEDITION.

Hiiioos Rosns, May 23. Our cruisers in the Baltic. and especially in the Gulf of Finland, are not allowing the oysters to accumulate upon their bottoms The Arrogant has been detached from the fleet for a considerable time, employed in reeonnoitering the encmy’s posts and shores. Whileso employed the Heclii, commanded by Captain Hell, whose services in China war are so well known, joined her. Both ships planned a little expedition of their own, which has turned out quite a gallant UIIIICIJVIG.

Captain Hall having met a fishing boat ofl' the coast, resolved to turn the two men in her to some account, srid accordingly made them perfectly understand his determination that they should act as pilots. The two ships proceeded up a narrow river, and on anchoring on the evening of the l9thinst.,ths enemy, from behind a high sand bank, in athickly wooded place, fired u it one of the boats. which was at thtt time pul ing at a distance of from 000 to 800 yards from the shore, round shot striking the Heels. Both ships best toq rters, cast loose their guns. loaded with shot and shell, which they ured into the wood and sgsingt the sand bsrri e, whence the enemy was quickly dislodged. The vessels were not further molested that cvening—the anchorage was shifted for the night, and all made sung, with

After about three hours quietly feeling their way along the intricate navigation of the river, both shi easiesuddenly within range of an enemy's itsry. e Heels opened fire, which was quickly answered from the fort;the promontory upon'which stood the battery was crowded with soldiers, fine stalwart looking follows, with long grey costs and spiked steel helmets, glittering in the sun. While the battery was firing upon the Heels, the Arrogant let fiy a whole broadside amongst the soldiers. troop of horse artillery, when the smoke cleared ofl', was 9 |c|lnpOlln"IWIy. A rolonged and hear tire of mueketry now ensued mm the wood, and inie balls fell thick on board both ships. The Arrogant now got around within 90 yards of the battery. However, before attempting to haul the ship oil‘. the enemy's guns were dismounted roadside, and the ship was then got ofl' lI'I safety. On passing the fort _whers the _ guns had been dismounted. a tumble sight was witnessed-— gun-carriages blown to fragments, guns dis- mounted, helmets and knspsaelts strewcd about without owners.

The town of Eckness now opened._ and there lay the ships, the objects of the expedition. The Arrogant was obliged to anchor here, as the water was shallow, the Hecla proceeded on : but another battery opened fire upon her. The Arrogant, swung broadside on, kept rip a cennsnsde, while the Heels passed, firing shells on the enemy as she did so, ran up alongside of absrqce, took her in tow, and steamed away with her to the horror of the inhabitants. When this little exp;ditionsr_v force was _returning they werejoined the Dsuntless, which vessel had been sent on by the commander-in-chief‘ to ascer- tain the cause and source of the firing, which was distinctly audible as the squadron steamed into I-laago "he eels had several shot through her funnel, stesm- lpe, and hell, one shot ng rl lit through the ship's side. The roun at and shell went over the Arrogant. Both ships were studded with Minis balls. The Arrogsnthsd one man shot through the heart, ands man wounded by a bullet in the navel, which ball went through his intestines, and passed ontsthisbeek. He lived until estsrdsy. Both were very good men. The]! a had one man shot or drowned while wounded.

Captain Hall was resolved not to leave without es iag back some military trophy. l-le galantly laurzd with his marines. threw them out as sklruiishers, while himself and a party of men hoistedoue an (and iron one) into his boat, and placed it on rd the Heels.

It is stated in a letter from Paris that the Swedish squadron had received orders to combine its force with the allied fleets in the Baltic, that the Swedish Minister at St. Petersburg had demanded his passports.

AGIICULTUIAL Paocruc-rs.—-.A county of Down journal (the Recorder) gives a most tlatterin account of the state and pros ts of the agri- cultural interest in that quarter of the kingdom. The countr , it Is maintained, has, in the first

lace been nefited by bein thinned of its re-

undant population, while t e British colonies will derive advantage by the influx of addition- al hands. and the emigrants themselves may lay the foundation of comfort and independence in lands where industry has its sure reward. Respecting the potatoe crop, the safety of which was said by more than one Irish journal to have been seriously endangered by the recent heavy thunderstorms, the Clonmel Cliroriicol observes, —“ The accounts which we continue to receive through our contemporaries from all the pro- vinces in the kingdom are of a cheering descri tion, notwithstandingethe alarming rumour set afloat by those who, ing of a nervous tom r- ment. sec famine in it withered blade of grass, misery in a bl.i(ghted stalk ofoorn, and desola-

It was said that the early-planted potatoe was entirely ruined in various districts, but, thank Providence! that rumour was without any other foundation ave that which it derived from the fears of the pie ; all our contemporaries, when spugiod; upon the agricultural proceedings carried on ' their respective localities, agree in saying that there never was, at any period since the ilu of the tsto crop, s floater breadth of land plan under it than t ere has been this sea- son, and that when the growth af the esculent has been tried, it is found to far exceed in size that which any idea could have formed of its former’ progress at this early period of the year. ’

There seems to be no doubt that the terms of a treat have been agreed upon by r. tery rcy, acting: on behalf 0 the United States, an Lord lgin, on behalf of Great Britain, for establishing aremprocsl trad oerhin articles between these bolonics and the United States, and settling the ‘Fisher rights of the two Countries.

The cases of larceny alluded to, require no particular comment from the Court, beyond giving you the legal definition of the crime, caving it to you to apply the evidence, and to decide each case, upon its applicability to such definition.

The Court here defined the law of Larceny.
