NEW New York, Sanday, September 13, 1846, State of Affairs In Canada In the interval to an overture of peace to Santa Anna, through the commander of our Gulf Squa- dron, in pursuance of the preliminaries suggested by the President in his appeal for the two millions for the purchase of Paredes, and while we are awaiting the announcement and the result of an offer to the modern Jugurtha of Mexice, it may not be unprofitable to pass to a cursory examina- tion of the present aspect of affairs in the British dominions, along our frontiers, to the northward, A traveller, along the whole extent of our nor- y, will be struck with the apparent thern bounc good fee and harmouy of intercommunication among the people on both sides of the line—at the universal satisfaction which prevails especially among business men of the American States and her Majesty’s provinces at the settlement of the Oregon question, and the concurrent sentiment regarding the unrighteous provocations to ‘the ex- isting wer with Mexico.” But while he is grati- fied at these moral evidences of the harmonious intercourse of the people of two distinct govern- ments in immediate contiguity, a countervailing curiosity will be excited at the ominous warlike ndieations on the northern side of the boundary. He sees fortresses erected or erecting, and British troops located at every town, and while he ad- mires the neatness and the excellent fit of their fa- tigue dress and their regular uniform, he reasons “upon the following syllogism:— That John Bull never does any thing without an object—that these belligerent demonstrations are by John Bull, and that therefore, they must have an ¢ bject. The inquiry follows, what is this object? us attempt to explain. The Oregon controversy threatened to drive us headlong into war—a war, which like a great Maelstreom would have extended its suction to the extremes of the earth—Canada presented it- selfas a vulnerable line for offensive operations against the formidable enemy of our unconquera- ble people. Great Britain, equally cognizant of the importance of this basis of operations, offensive and defensive, while the issue was yet uncertain, and promptly acting upon the instruction, ‘In peace, prepare for war,” undertook at once the completion of the extensive line of military estab- lishments, which are now such objects of curiosi- ty to the stranger from the interior of the States. Having commenced them, though the immediate alternative of th defences, has happily been evaded—the sacrifice in suffering the works to go Let todecay, would be greater than the means re- | quired and the prospective advantages of their completion. Hence the repairs at Malden—the Martello towers at Kingston, and the improve- ments at Quebec, are steadily progressing. Aux- iliary to these positive warlike constructions, are the ship canals, beginning at Montreal, and as cending the St. Lawrence, surmounting the La- chine rapids, the cascades, the cedars, the Long Sault, the Gallop Rapids, and the Falls ara—opening an unbroker i under British jurisdict n I Lawrence, through L: Erie, the key of inter. whole western country The prospective milit of commercial improve: scarce need a de- monstration. In the eventoi war, Great Britain will at once be enabled to throw an overwhelm- ing fleet into the lakes, entirely interdicting the ngress and egress of American vessels. The solid and durable character of these works, and the heavy expenditures of money upon them, indi- cate a purpose looking beyond the calculation of diverting the Western trade through the channel of the St. Lawrence. But are not all causes foreven the remotest ap- prehension of a war with Great Britain now re- moved? Apparently they are, but we cannot de- finitively answer the question. From the tone of the public press of Canada, and from other sources of information, leaving entirely out of view the controversy on the question of the pros- pective annexation of Canada, between the French papers of this city, we arrive at the fol- lowing conclusions :— That the public works of Great Britain, along the Canadian frontiers, military and commercial, are designed— Ning. , asce navigat up the vunication with t vantages of this line 1. For military defences, and as means of military com- munication in the event of war. 2. That the connected line of navigation from the mouth of the St. Lawrence to the lakes, is with the view of sharing largely inthe Western transport trade, and of profits from the tolls. 3. That the large expenditures of money upon all these works are calculated to give employment to the people, und thus divert their attention from political mischief. Reverting, however, to the incidental question of annexation, it cannot well be disguised that the popular sentiment of Canada is tending in that direction. The tendency of the age to repub- licanism, though not uniform is universal. The French Canadian population cannot beas- sunilated with the loyal and self-complacent Scotch and English descended subjects of the pro- vince. Their wrongs are rather abstract than practical—their sufferings are more in the theory than in the practice of the Government, but their discontent is ever the greater that the provoca- | tion is under a domino. The announcement of Lord Elgin as the successor of Earl Cathcart, was | received with grateful satisfaction by the British population, while the Gauls regard it with an as- sumed or real indifference—as something to be borne for the present, that the appointment of their chief executive officer should come from an authority disassociated from, and having no im- mediate interest in, their local affairs. They pas- sively endure what they know not how to resist. | They look forward to a vague and indefinite de- liveranee—they hope for it, and are only waiting for the sign. sing itself among them, co-operate, and more active in expressions against the royal govern- ment,—and this is to be found in the Irish popu- lation. Distinct as Turks from Jews in every thing else, the French and Irish of Canada aan equal bill of credit of revenge against the Bri- tish crown. It isa revenge unliquidated of 500 years of accumulated interest. hatred of Britain, than their love of the Snited States, that would excite them to annexation. Few of them have any ties of local sympathy with the republic, but they have no political prejudices against us. The war upon the Catholics in Mex- ico has operated to eur disadvantage in their esti- mation, but if their vengeance against their rulers might be appeased, they would accept a coalition for a dissolution without conditions. In one word, the disaffected of Canada, though | numerous, are weak, ignorant, and ineflicient to an independent movement. They await a move- ment from the United States; but the settlement of the Oregon question has thrown them and the {rish repealers upon an indefinite hope; a hope, which, unless Mr. Bancroft is instructed to sub- mit overtures to the British government for the purchase of the Canadas, must rest for its ful- filment upon’some propitious but undefined and nvisible contingency of the future. They look now tothe death of Louis Philippe, but how that is to avail them, the event itself must determine. For the present, the fangs of their government are insupportable; their only hoy sto grapple with the lion, and choke him off. res wali . Distineuisuep Movements,—His Excellency, Gov. Wright, accompanied by the Hon. A. C. *Flagg, State Comptroller, and their families, ar- rived at the City Hotel, yesterday, from Albany, and proceeded on a visit to the hospitable and splendid mansion of the Hon. John Hunter, Hun- tor’s Island, New Rochelle. Another element of discord is diffu- | have | Itis more their | Sream Boiter Exrt.osions.—While the recent steam boiler explosion on the North river is fresh im the memory of our citizens, and the cries of the wounded and the lamentations of the friends of those who lost their lives on that occasion are ringing on our ears, we think the present an ap- propriate time to enquire whether or not greater safeguards cannot be thrown around the lives of our citizens in this respect, than what already exist. Within a few years a number of boiler ex- plosions have occurred in our immediate vicinity, which were attended with more or less destruc- tion of life, and the probability is that more will occur which will be attended with the same dis- astrous consequences. Owing to the frequent disasters on the western waters, alaw was passed by Congress which made it incumbent on the masters and owners of , all vessels, propelled wholly or in part by steam, to have the boilers and machinery of their boats ex- amined at least once a year by inspectors appoint- ed by the general government, whose duty it is to | give a certificate under their hands stating whe- | ther, in their opinion, they are safe and fit for use, as well as a description of the materials of which the boilers are composed, as also as their age.— | There is no doubt that this law operated | very beneficially as long as its requirements | were faithfully carried out, and honest and capa- ble inspectors appointed. We are, however, disposed to believe that the law is, at present, vir- | tually a nullity, although the certificates which are | | hung up in the cabins of steamboats would imply | that the form of inspection is at least carried out, | but these certificates are looked upon as so much | blank paper, and inspire no more confidence in the strength of the boilers than if no such certafi- cate was placed there. The inspectors are pro- | bably well enough, so far as they go, but we be- | lieve that they have not sufficient power. | The general impression is that the law is not | | sufficient to reach the end for which it was framed, | | and that the public must look to the owners of | steam vessels employing none but careful, expe- | | nenced and temperate engineers and firemen, for | safety in travelling. | We do not mean to say that the firemen and | engineers of our steamboats generally are not of | | this description, but it cannot be disputed that | | there are exceptions to this as well as other gene- | ral rules. Neither do we mean to say that the | | Captains and officers of these vessels are not gene- | rally all that can be desired. But it is a lamenta- | ble fact that there are captains to whose rash con- duct in racing their respective boats, in order to | reach their point of destination ahead of competi- | tors, is much to be deprecated, and from which explosions and loss of life are likely to occur. | We were on board a North river boat last sum- | | mer, where every expedient for raising steam Was put in requisition, in order to secure the pas- sengers at the several landing places before ano- | ther boat, about a mile astern, should overtake | them. | Although the weather was chilly,we preferred re- | maining on deck all night to sleeping in the cabin, | | where, in case of accident, we were certain of | | meeting death. If public opinion were brought to | bear on this, as itis on other matters, it would | Soon suppress all racing, and inspire passengers with a degree of confidence and safety that they j do not now have. While on this subject, we may observe that we think itwould be very judicious for our State Le- gislature to pass a law compelling the owners of locomotives, and steam boilers of every descrip- | tion, in printing offices, workshops and manufac- tories, where steam power is used, to have them | inspected every few months, and located in such | places where, if they burst, no injury could hap- | pen to any but persons in the building. There are | many steam boilers under the sidewalks of our | most frequented streets which would cause a great sacrifice of life if an explosion took place. American YacuTING.—We rejoice to find that | | this fine sport is becoming more and more popu- | ular. During the past season there have been | some good matches made, and from present indi- | | cations, it would seem that the sport is not over. | Mr. Perkins, a Boston gentleman of fortune, has | challenged any boat, belonging to the New York | squadron, to sail against his yacht, the Coquette, | and the challenge has been accepted by Commo- | dore John C. Stevens, the owner of the Maria, | and Mr. Wm. E. Miller, the owner of the Siren. It is probable that Col. Winchester, the owner of | the Northern Light, will join in to see the sport. This will be a fine 1ace, and well contested.— | Mr. Stevens has not yet had a fair opportunity of | testing the sailing qualties of the Maria, but he | | has unbounded confidence in her powers: She | is a boat of 150 tons burthen, built on a new prin- ciple ; and although the Coquette has a formida- | ble fame, still Mr. Stevens is a practiced connois- | seur of boats, and there is no doubt that any craft | he sails against the Coquette, will give a good ac- count of herself. Mr. Stevens is the commodore of the New | York Yacht Squadron. He was the first, we be- lieve, to introduce yachting in this country. He has built several boats, with which he became dissatisfied after a time, and which he sold to the government. One of these, the On-ka-hy-e, cost | at half what it cost him. The Gimerack, he | | now offers for sale, as will be seen by an adver- | He has introduced | anew principle in the construction of the Maria, which he believes to be the fastest boat ever yet put upon our waters. The Coquette is a boat of | | excellent sailing qualities, and the race between | these two, not to mention the Siren, and Northern | | Light, will be of the most exciting character.— | The boatsare to start from Sandy Hook, and to | sail twenty-five miles to sea, and back. | After this race, there will bea regatta open to , all boats of the yacht squadron, to be manned and | | sailed by the owners, and not by hired hands. This is a capital move, as the captains and own- | ers will have an opportunity of exhibiting their skill, tact, and seamanship. | The gentlemen of Boston, we understand, are | | determined to organize a squadron independent | of the New York Squadron, which is the only one | at present in the country. We learn that there | are already several sums subscribed for this pur- | tisement in another column. se. | The fostering of this interesting and exciting | sport will be ot great advantage tous in a na- | tional point of view. It tendsto rear a race of | | hardy, skilful pilots and seamen, whose expe- | rience and knowledge of the coast could be turn- ed to good account in case of a war. Moreover, the boats themselves would render effectual ser- vice in time of war, by reason of their lightness, and swiftness, and the knowledge of the bays | | and harbors on our coast, attained by constant explorations in pleasure and racing excursions, by their commanders, The sport is healthful and invigorating, and it tends to give employ- | menttoanumber of men who, afterwards, in | many instances, become skilful and experienced | pilots. | We hope to see yatching become a national | Sport with us. No inhumanity attends its pursuit as in the case of horse-racing, nor does it give rise to those scenes of thimble-rigging and gam- bling that are to be witnessed on the race-course, | It is a comparatively innocent and healthful amusement, and we trust that it may prosper. ee Cmantestos, Sept.

Between pieces the Misses Vallee will dance a “Pas de Forge Gaxenwich Taratne.—Mrs. George Jones, a great favorite with the New York public, takes her benefit at the Greenwich Theatre to-morrow evening.

A prelim| ©: amination was immediately held before Justice Rush- mo} Grand Jury having been discharged. The court issued a precept under the provisions of the sta- tute for a special Grand Jury, which assembled on Wed- nesday, the 9th, previous to which tine three persons had been arrest An indictment was drawn and found against William Russel, William Ray and Francis John- son, charging them with burglary in the first degree— ‘The prisoners were immediately ai and pleaded not guilty. Thee. all stated they had ds and witness- es residing in the city of N. York. Subpanas were fur- nished and letters written, and officors despatched by a special train (politely furnished by President Fisk for the purpose) to deliver and serve them. The prisoners were told to bo ready for trial on Friday morning, the 1ith inst. The prisoners di ing separate trials. Russell, ‘inst whom was the least evidence, (none of the stolen property having been found upon him) was first brought to the bar. ‘The circumstances of the burglary and arrest, so faras had heen discovered, were then briefly stated by the District Attorney, and Geo. B. Fisk was called as a wi'ness for the prosecution. Mr. Fisx testified that he went to bed on Monday eve- ning about 9 o'clock, leaving several members of his fa- mily up. At 12 o’clock, he saw his own and his wife's watch on the table by the head of his bed. At3 o’clock, he was awakened by the screams of his daughter, who slept below stairs. He started to go down, and ashe reached the top of the stairs, he heard a noise like foot- steps of two persons hurrying over the oil cloth in the lower hall ; came down stairs and found the front door standing open; he missed the two watches and pocket book ; the pocket book was found in the door yard, but no money in it—that had been abstracted, and the other papers left ; his pocket book was in his Py gens pock- et when he went to bed ; he Lares gm the watch pro- duced, and also a knife, the watch as belonging to his wife, and the knife to his son, a young lad. Miss Louisa Fisx, daughter of the witness, was then called, and testified to fastening the lower part of the house before going to bed, and it about 3 in the morn- ing, she heard footsteps coming softly down stairs ; she expected to mother, but, upou looking up, saw one of the prisot , Johnson, on the sill of her bed- screamed, and Jobnscn ran out of the house; ard others in the hall moving towards the door; she also recognized the watch and knife, and de- scribed the marks about the lock and key, which indica- ted the manner of. opening, which was by turning the ke: left in the lock over night, by means of an instram: called “ nippers,” from the outside. Mr. Fisk also testified to the same indications about the lock. Several witnesses were called and proved that the pris- oner with the others went down to Rockaway on Monday evening with the stage, and were left in front of the Pa- vilion at Rockaway. Epwin M. Strona, Magist ate of East New York, tos- tified, that on the morning of the 8th, about 8 0” » he saw three suspicious looking individuals coming towards his house, on the Jamaica and Brooklyn turnpike. He had been informed of the robbery, and was on the alert. The three men stopped at his house and called for some- thing to drink, they were supplied with cider, (the strong. est liquor kept »y witness;) after the three had 4 witness informed them of his intention to arrest them, when they rushed for the door; Johnson was im: ly secured by persons in attendauce at the door, and the prisoner and Ray rushed out of the back door ; ‘the wit- ness pursued prisoner, who struck him, witness, twice as they were going through the hall tothe back door, but atter a foot race of three quarters -f a mile the wit- ness feeling injured by one of the blowsin his ve up the chase.

This is a short summ: of the te: the prisoner called no witnesses. ver yy sti 3 he jury rendered & st of guilty. The same evidence was given in the case of Ray, with the addition of Michael Rufer, who pursued and overtook the prisoner; and a like verdict was rendered. Johnson tendered a plea of guilty of burglary in the 24 degree, which was accepted They will be sentenced in afew moments. 2 P. M., Saturday, 12th. We understand that Russell and Ray who were con- victed by the jury, have been sentenced to.15. years each to the State prison at Sing Sing, and Johnson who plead- ed guilty, was sentenced to 5 years. One of the priso- ners after his conviction, informed the Sheriff where he could procure the other missing watch, consequently a special locomotive was put in motion, and the god watch recovered from under a bush, near East New York, where it had been concealed by the accused in his flight towards New York. Too much praise cannot be awarded to J. P.
