NO. 5521. MORNING EDITION----THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1849. Our Montreal Correspondence, Monraeat, July 13, 1849, Canadian Muatters—Nuational Conventron—-Cho- lera—Orange Riots, §c. As day succeeds day, and the time appointed for the meeting of the National Convention draws nearer and nearer, fhe public pulse quickens in proportion, and the public, mind becomes more and more excited, evincing how great an interest is felt in coming events. Never, perhaps, since the revolutionizing of the old thirteen States, was such an important step takes, on the part of any colony, towards the mother country. Turn and twist it ag you will, it is the same in uil its bearings, viz. a virtual throwing off allegiance to Great Britaia. It is important, however, as showing that the time so long looked forward to by every class of British statesmen—when these provinces would no longer continue the connection with England, has actual- ly arrived, that your readers should know the causes from which the present movement has sprung. By most persons, both in Canada and the mether country, it is presumed that the obnoxious measure knowa as the Rebel bill, passed during the last cession of the Canadian Legislature, an lately sancuoned in England, has been the as of inaugurating the presept movemeat, Such is not the case. 1 wall notdeay but that this measure has proved an al! powerful instrument in the hands of those desirous of a change, in moving the people to carry out the organization now existing in Hs proyinee. But I also hold that, independent of this measure, the same organization would have been carried out, and the same convention assem- bled. That time has arrived whica Lord Denhim so much feared, when the Cuuadians, by some change of policy in the mother couatry, the mov. ing fsome hidden spring in the Coloatal O'fice in gland, would be the means of driving the colo- nists to compare their backwardness with the pro- ressing Lay ah 4 of a neighboring State. The hidden spring has been set in motion; proteeuon has been withdrawn from the coloutes; and, with- out protection, they cannot compete with the rest of the world.’ This belief conceraiag protection may be a fallacy, and I am not prepared to dispute it; but be it so or not, you cunnot persuade the farmer to believe so, and r will be able. Lhave resided many years in Canada, and I have never beheld so great a depression ia m: branch ef industry. Our quays, as compared wit former years, are almost barren of goods; and the same distressing sight is visible at ail the ports throughout the province. Add to this the fact, that our mechanics and laborers are leaving both sections of the provinces daily in large numbers ; and many farmers are dispo. of their lands an emigrating to the Western States. With such a fearful state of things existing, is it tobe wondered that independent of the Kebel bill, every persoa de- sires a change—in fuct, see the uecessity of bring- ing it about. Their ills may be imayinary,and the depreseed state of trade no greater thaa in other quarters of the continent and the old world,but you cannot make the colonisis believe it. The unaa- swerable question is put, why cannot we prosper likevour neighbors? It is these things which have produced the firet movement in this proviace, and given birth toa movement which will shake the precent existing constitution to its foundation, af at does not utterly sweep itaway. On the 25th instant, the convention assembles at Kingston, and after several ealculations, [ find there cannot be less than 250 or 300 delegates pre- sent. Insuch an assembly it cannot be doubted, but that violent, even rancorous debates will take place ; and, we shall, pernapa, have to recount scenes beating everythivg yet heard of. All the Various important and nuuierous questions at pre- sent agitating the community will be brought up, and many new ones suggested. But all discussions of petty questions will give way to the two great parties composing it, and ot which the others can only be ofl-shoots. These parties are those in fa- yor of annexation, and a confederation of the North American provinces ! That the probability of the ‘ederal union proving an aliment, { look upon it as being in a short time proved futile. Aad | also consider that if annexation be not deterinined on,the party will ultimately ceme out of the coatest with the gain of additional strength aud heaor. If the federalists are defeated, both parties will be desirous of a fresh contest, and a new appeal to the people—the federaltets, if possible, to regain their lost strength; and annexationists, to be sure of certain sustuinants. Tae leader of the fede- rals will be Mr. Moffatt, a gentleman of an im- amense influence and high standing, possessed of indomitable energy, and of a le virtue, and frem which qualities he probably holds his U1 present position. We 1s no Srp speaker, but pos sesses much shrewdness. His opinion will have at weight, and his vote intl fie anncxationists are sensible of thi much tact will vote for his being elected to the office of chairman of the convention, and so shelve him. means, excepting in case of ate, his yote is lost to one party; and if the aanexa- tionists win the dey, will be again to them. For Tam told Mr. Moffatt has said, that if the majority ef the convention are for annexation, he will, for uty of action, join with m™. Great discussion 18 going on in regard to the expected leaders of ‘ie prt party. Mr. T. Wilsen, of Quebec, rather a talented man, is spoken of ; but he is far too violent in his speeches, and would, I fear, ere long, bring himself ito difficulties. He wants the deep-thinking memory necessary to constitute a, good leader, and there- fore 1 think will come in second best. A Mr. Backus, formerly a member of the Upper Canuda Parliament, and a merchant in this city, is,1 think, likely to highly distinguish himself on the side e: annexation, if elected as one trom the Montreal League, for which he is a candidate; and from the favorable manner in which he was received the occasion of his nomination, | believe he will be | successful, He distinctly told them, however, that he would, if elected, vote for anuexation. He has been an advocate of it, and by deep research- es, has made himself acq ted with what Joe Hiume would call numerous stubborn facts. Col. Gogy ia also likely to be a supporter of the new movement, and it is expected will be elected as one of the Mentreal deleguise.

The Governor will not hear of their removal, so that they will have to remain, and take their chance. In Quebec, the mortality has also been very great, and principally amongst the upper class es. Merchants will not go to their countin houses, so that business is at a complete stan: still. ‘ Saturday evening last, a diabolical murder wae committed by an Orangeman of the name of Fle- ming, who, in consequence of a relinto discus eon with a Roman Catholic, went into his house, d bringing out a musket, shot the latter through the head, 3 "The Upper Provinces have been the theatre of a regular tragedy.

(From the New Haven Palladium } The papers have recently given wide circalation to several articles, partly of foreign and partly of domostie origin, tracing new and singular conditions of atmos- heric electricity, and implying an unusual and mys- Tertows connection between those conditions and the cholera, One finds that —— to friction on woollen cloth, no longer affords the usual indications of electrical exoltement by attracting light bodies; another, obrerving that his electrical machine ves shorter sparks than common, infers that the or- inary supply of the electrical fluid is withdrawn from the atmosphere; at one place where cholera prevails, thunder storms appear to have nearly ceased. while a another, where it rages more violently, they are fre- quent and severe, Having. trom the nature of my pursnits, been what conversant with the phemome electri: have been very frequently interroga! yop’ on these pointe, and | have thought | might possib! ttle service to those whose curiosity ie excited om this subject, by offering afew suggestions; of at least, that | might be the means of a still greater benefit, should | be so fortunate, by ope the dis- cussions, as to elicit the opinions of men of scienc who are more capable than myself of enlightening the some. jeity, I bio Pon a close examination of the facts, | think it will be foul the in question are ol ell such as are hi ‘to result from ‘and moisture, and that the apparent connecti tween electricity and cholera consists i certain causes which change the electri: of the atmosphere, tend also to increase or diminish the ra- vages of the cholera.

Some regard to | this ‘principle ‘may usefully be had. in epriakling the floor or the streets with water ins hot day. Whea | floor is perfectly clean, we may find it promotes our comfort to sprinkle it, since the conversion of thy wa- ter into vapor changes ¢ seorible tuto | latent heat, and cools the apartment; but if the floor oiled or dusty, then, in @ hot day, the rapid ration of the water carries up with it an offensive amd noxious efluvium.

When, however, either the floor or the street is drenched with water, the offensive matter is held im solution, and only pure watery vapor is exhaled. To conclude, wo may remark, that ever sinso the grand dixcovery by Dr. Franklin: of the identi- | ty between elvetricity and lightning, aud the subse- | quent developement of this mysterious agent ia many the processes of nature and art, thero has existed a tendency to ascribe to ite agency every phenomenon not otherwise accounted for; and I caunot but regard | the hasty conclusions which, frow a single, or at most ~a few, experiments or observations, have ascribed tho production ef the cholera to variations in the electri- cal state of the atmosphere, as savoring of the same spirit. and as exemplifying one of the leading errors against which the philosophy of Lord Bacon was di- Teeted. DENISON OLMS . Oceanic House, Coney Isiann, July 13, 1549, Whilst the city is warm and hot, whilst the air which you breathe is heavy and impure, whilst the cholera is raging among the New Yorkers, I am wniting to you in a very comfortable room, by the side of a bed upon which I have spent a} delightful night and experienced happy dreams, in- haling the pure breezes of the ocean, which cause my thermometer to indicate 64 degrees. 1 must contess that I feel well satisfied, having leftj the poisoned city and taken my abode in the | splendid mansion of Mr. Charles Rodgers. You must know, dear sir, that a great revolution | has taken place on the island. It is altogether a political, a moral and physical affair, which may be calle¢ the 13th of June of Coney Island. ‘The | celebrated Governor Davis has been expelled trom his kingdom and pursued by bis subjects towards | the steamboat, where he was fortunate enough to find a refuge, and he has fled to countries un- known. A great meeting of all the clums of the island was held the night after. There was aa | election, and in loco of the ex-governor, Mr. | Charles Rodgers bas been chosen by these crus- | tacées, who Saclared publicly that they could no | longer endure the rnanner in which they had beea | roasted and stewed under the old goverament. In order to satisfy his new subjects, Mr. Rodgers has renewed his palace, changed his waiters, altered the plan under which his maison was kept last pees and gave orders to have the soft, tender and healthy clams treated in a new style, which had not yet been marked among any of the “ approved | styles” on any bill of fare. This new régime, so jar different from tke ancient,” has been very successful, and gave renown to the worthy land- Jord of the Oceumic House. The best company | from New York has reac! pretty | hed the hotel, and many | ladies and respectable gentlemen are now crowding the halls of the Oceanic House, filling his dining rooms and parl+rs, and promenading on the piazzas, The best thot the market affords, the most excellent dishes cooked in a very goed style, plenty of clams for amateurs, and delicious wines | and brandy, and such is la carte du restaurateur. | ‘The waiters are very attentive, the linen is white | as snow, and everything excites the most fastidious | tite. may say, with great truth, that the bathing on | the surf is also one ef the mest healthy amase- ments of Coney Island, and, from four o’elock an- til sunset, ladies and gentlemen are plunging them- F | busy with the ow and the Crops, The Savannah, (Ga) Republic n, of the 13th instant, says:—The Western papers say that nei- ther the corn nor the cotton ¢rop will be an average ene.

For some time past our gardens have suflered considerably for want of it; and in | the country surrounding us, the drought seems to | have prevailed, with the exception of a few sec- | tions. We hope now the rain is general, making merry the*hearts of all. The New Orleans Crescent, of the 9th instant, says:—For the past ten days we have had a daily visit from a little shower that seems to fly back- ward and forward, like the pendulum of a cloc for our especial edification. A welcome guest this shower; it sprinkles our streets, cleanses the sewers, brightens the leaves on the trees, and drowns out all thoughts of siekness.
