The Colonial Mail arrived here on Thursday evening

the following Resolutions were proposed, and passed j with acclamation :—

1. Resotven, That this Meeting are rejoiced to learn that the Hon. James Warburton, our late worthy Repre-

mportance.

weneral Assembly.

2. Reso.vep, That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the Hon. James Warburton truly and faithfully represented the interests of this District, while he occu- pied a seat inthe House of Assembly; and that he entitled himself to the confidence of not only the people ef this District, but to the respect and admiration of the great majority of the People of Prince Edward Island, by the manly and independent stand which he, the said lion, James Warburton, occupied in the Legislature, in defending the claims of the People of this Colony toa just and impartial system of Government—in voting in-

variably with the Liberal Party in the House of Assem- bly, and in generally advocating the rights, the interests and the opinions of the People,-—uninfluenced by an Offi- cial Family Compact.

view we are infinitely better off than most of our col- onial neighbours, and scarcely worse off than the people of Boston, New York, and other American Cities. Trade is almo** entirely paralized in Canada and New Brunswick, while in P. E, Island a great proportion of the people are in a state of positive destitution. In Boston money commands an interest of 24 per cent. per month. The tightness of the Money Market is caused by the large loans negotiated by the Government, the drain on the U. S. Treasury to sustain the Mexican War, and immense exportation of Specie—amounting to $ 7,323,606! Much of this Specie is employed on the Continent, in making cash purchases. The present season, in the large cities of the United States, however, is generally dull, leading merchants and business men betaking themselves to the shady groves of fashionable

watering places, during the hot weather.

The Flour Market at last accounts was dull. Oswe-

MEETING AT GRAND RIVER. At a Public Meeting held at Grand River, Lot 14, Prince County, on Friday the 3ist June, Mr. Edward Gorman in the Chair, the following Resolution vas pro- posed, seconded, and unanimously adopted :— tesoxven, ‘S'bat it is the opinion of this Meeting that the conduct of our late Representative, the Hon. James Warburton, during his sitting in the House of Assembly 2s Member for the First District of Prince County, hag been such as to deserve the unqualified approbation of the Electors, as he has constantly voted in his place on Parliament with the true friends, and for the real interests of the country ; and that this Meeting heard of his expulsion from the Legislature with feelings of sor-) row and surprise, inasmuch as other gentlemen forming part of the majority of the House of Assembly, whe | sarried his expulsion, accepted seats, on a former occa-| sion, in the Executive Council, without being compelled to return to their constituents. And this Meeting sincerely believes that the feeling herein expressed is entertained by a very large portion of the Electors of this District.

Seventy-five houses were destroyed by fire at Sorel, Canada East, on the 28th ult.

A portion of the Marmora iron works, near Kingston, was destroyed by fire last week.

The steamer Dawn, one of the splendid new boats which ran between Quebec and Montreal, was recently lost in descending the Lachine rapids. She had on board about 60 passengers and 2000 bbls. of flour, about 400 bbls. of which were thrownoverboard to lighten her. The mail steamer Gildersleeve had also a very narrow escape from coming into collision with her, missing her only by a few inches.

UNITED STATES.

Excirrment amone Tar Inise.—Great excitement was produced among the Irish in New York by the news of the conviction of Mitchell. At Meetings at the Shaks- peare Hotel and in the open air on Tuesday, a resolu- tion was unanimously adopted, authorizing the appoint- ment of a committee who will use all and every means to rescue Mitchell from the British authorities at Bermuda. One of the speakers described the locality of Bermuda, and told how easily the exile could be rescued. Col. Ming offered his services in the expedition, stating that he only asked 2,000 men for the purpose. A Mr. Mooney coolly exhorted the Irishmen present not to be afraid of the law of the United States with respect to organizing a brigade for Ireland; for he (Mr. M.) ‘would offer himself to the district attorney and say he broke the law, but where would « jury be found to con- vict him when going for liberty” A sentiment which,

las we are told, was received with immense cheers, A

The Presidential campaign has fairly opened in all parts of the Union. The Whigs are said to enter upon the canvass of 1848 under encouraging auspices ; and that the whole country is sick of Loco focoism.

The first arrival of troops from Mexico was at New Orleans on the 16th ult.

A shocking occurrence took place on the 15th tit, in Point Coupee parish, at the residence of Eugene Oubre, Esq. A large and brilliant company had assembled to mingle in the festivities of a Ball, and nothing amid all the beautiful manifestations of joy seemed to portend 8 bloody termination to the pleasures ofthe evening. Two gentlemen, Elijah Adams and Rowland Robertson, whe were known to each other, on account of a dispute about property, were observed to walk, arm in arm, to a posi- tion where their conversation might be strictly private. Suddenly Robertson was seen to give Adams a violent blow, who immediately drew a revolver and shot the former through the body. Mr. Robertson had a short tine been married, andthe wife was called from a scene of unmingled joy to look upon the bleeding form of a dying husband. The men had been brothers-in-law. Robertson expired on the succeeding evening. The case was judged, after examination by the proper court, to be one of manslaughter, and Adams was held to bai) in the sum of $500. This he gave on the spot.

Doine a Tocexasry Goon Business.—The Yankees have sold te the Mexican authorities a great many old muskets, cartride boxes, and bayonets and scabbards, at government prices; also a large quantity of ordnance stores. After using them for several years, and finally against themselves with complete success, and ther se}ling them at full price, is not such a bad operation.

Peaches were among the luxuries at New Orleans on the 15th ult.

LATEST FROM MEXICO,

Later advices from Mexico state that the troops were moving towards the sea coast.—General Patterson's division left the city of Mexico on the 30th. Marshall’s was to Jeave on the 3ist. Gen. Butler and Commis sioner Sevier were to leave on the Sth inst. The Jatter was still at Queretaro, unwell.

Gen. Butler had put a stop to the Yucatan expedition.

Herrera was elected President of the Republic of Mexico by the vote of eleven States; Santa Anna had three votes. The latter is believed te be still in cor respondence with his friends in the Mexican Congress.

A law ne in the Mexican Congress for coi- onizing the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Propogitions were also presented for the composition ofthe army and navy ; concerning public security, and for the reduction of convents.

An explosion of powder occurred at Vera Cruz ina house occupied by forty washerwomen. Twenty or thirty of the women were killed.

BERMUDA. : The Bermuda Royal Gazette speaks confidently that Governor Reid has resigned the Administration of the Government at Barbadoes, in consequence of the issue of the,Torrens affair with Chief Justice Reddie of St. Lucia,—Government, as we al! along expected, ssys that paper, not having sustained the views of the Com- missioners who were appointed to investigate it.

Trovusies 1x Cusa.— We learn from the papers received yesterday by the @merica that an insurrec- tionary rising is threatened in Cuba. From the vague accounts given, it would appear there are two causes —discontent on the part of the American inhabitants, complaining of want of sufficient Jegal protection to rights and properties, and a strong party feeling against the newly appointed President. Bennett’s Herald talks largely of annexing the island to the United States, ‘should she be dissevered from Spain, an occurrence which appears very probable. The Herald ‘calculates’ as to what might be expected to follow should Eng- land interfere in the matter. We shall see what wa shall see.

Impenpine Revoiction my Cusa.—The Washjng- ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin says—“ I am informed, with what degree of certainty I cannot say, that our Consul at Havana has despatched a com- munication to the President, in which he states it as hia firm impression that a general uprising will shortly take place in the Island, on the part of the Republican por- tion of the inhabitants, and that be thinks there is every probability of the success of their plans, supplied as they are with arms, &c,

Fourth June Packet from England.
