These, of course, are not all the delegates returned, nor all the places represent- ‘ed. Numbers are expected by the river lines of steamers this evening. : After the delegation had taken their seats, on the motion of Mr. MeDonald, seconded by Mr, Scobie, the Hon. George Mothitt was appointed chairman to te convention, and W. 5. Mack, am W. Brooke, Esyrs., were appointed joiut Secretae ries. Oathe motion of Mr. Gowan, Me. Green, @ Baptist minster, and one ot the delegates, offered upa prayer. The rules for the government of the convention, were then read by Mr. Montgomerie ; they are the seme as those adopted by Parliament, with the exeeption of ove, statuy that no delegate should spenk disrespecttully of the Queen and her Fepiesentative in these provinces. Mr. Powell, of Carlton, then got up, and moved, seconded by Mr. MeDonald, of Kingston township, that so much of the 13th rule as applied to his Ex ency the Go- vermor General be expunged. Then arose a din and tumult never surpawed and huirdly equalled. Delegates leunched out into the reasons of the @ tablishmem, ull they were lost in a labyrinth, from which the only way they could extricate them- selves was by quictly sitting down. After the motion bad been brought up in vartous shapes and rejected, the origina! one wae aguin brought up by Mr. Powell, and carried by 61 to 59. This discus sion occupied the whole of the evening. After it had been brought toa close, the conveation ad- journed ull to-day. The queetion to be discussed this afternoon is a motion of Mr. Gamble’s:— “ That it is edient to inguire in state of the great Sutererts of the pr mercial distress that prevails and th pervades every branch of colonial industry T! committer be appointed for the {waking euch inquiry, and to report to this convention sach remedial measures as to them chall appear best adapted to res- tore and recore @ more prosperous state to the com: mercial agricultural and manufacturing jaterests of This 1 at once coming to the pith and marrow of the quest ‘or which the present movement was inaug d, and will no doubt lead to a @ warm and interesting debate on the subject.

Proceedings of the League—Speeches of the Delegates, §&c.— The United States a Monarchy— Fudge. The convention was engaged the whole of yes terday, discussing the question of an elective legia- lative council, with closed doors. After a rather violent discussion, the question was lost, 58 to 19. ‘This morning it was announced that the doors of the convention would be open to the public, and questions of great importance come under the con- sideration of the delegates. After the journals had been read by the Secretary, Ogle . Gowan, Esq., rose, and spoke to the fellowing motioa:— “ That it is exsential to Loe gpg 4 of the country that the revenue tariff sbould be so proportioned a levied, as to afford jurt and adequate protretion to tt manofacturing and indurtrial clases of the country, end to secure tothe agrieattural population @ howe market, with fur and remunerating prices for ail des- eriptions of farm produce He emphatically declared he had not come there to build up apy particular party, on the ruias or at the expense a another; but to raise one upon all these, which would be devoted to the interests of the country, and round which all alike might rally. Instead of the political dance hitherto kept up by the reform and tory party, it would not be his avoca- tion, were he clected as head of the government, to find out some poor sherifi or revenue officer who had supported bis copeaent, and kick him out, for | ling a political partisan in by place. After having shown up at some length, the evil practices of the various political parties up to present time,Mr Gowan then proceeded to contrast the state of Canada with the United States. Let us look imto our merchants’ shops, threughout the length and breadth of the eountry— in our cities, towns and villages—and | ask the mestion, why is it, that if | go to Albany I find lied shops and the bustle of great prosperity? I might ask my countrymen, why there is so great a change between thein and their neighbors; and what would they reply? We can find no market for our produce ; no purchasers for our industry. Why is it that un imaginary line causes such a difference ? Why is it 7 country cannot equal that? And having asked myself questions, I would then, as a statesman, consider myselt bound to find some remedy tor this state of atlairs, thereby raising a monument, not of marble or stone, but in the overtlowing pockets and happy eententment of my countrymen. The talented gen- tleman then proceeded to state, that what Canada requires, is a home market the produce of her people—that the sudden flactuations of pros perity on the part of the Canadian merchants, was to be attributed to the anecertainty arising from being obliged to place dependence on fereign mar- kets. As we are now situated, we were ame to seek prosperity in the blood ef the eonten og nations of the old world. For whea war rage abroad, prices roee at home. He next proce: to eulogire the policy of the American govern- ment, by which New York had become the great wm ot the West, and a home market; by jactures of the a home mai the purpose of insta! © built up for the West. a Canadian delegate go to the States, and compare the phys cal appeniance of that country with his own, ke ~ find that portions of the neighboring re lie, not half so favorable a my district is in for the establishmert of manufactares, teeming with them Mr. we the: io tard. at comparicon between a place called Hard- Serable, M2 mes from Kingston, and one called Redwood, opposite Brockville, in the Waited States. He stated that on this land, with scarcely vegeta- tion enough to support a chip-munk, there were manufactories of glass, &c.; and that they sup- plied Canada, receiving the hurd cash of tae Cuna- dian colomst in return. He then proceeded to siute, that in his opinion, England or by the re- ope of the corn laws, placed a premium en manu- jectures, in as far as she admitted the raw food of other countries in to support them. There was another great country opposite this, which had made itself independent by her protective policy, and — anxious that Cunadians should follow her example. You will thus see that the whole drift of Mr. Gowan’s speech, was to influence the convention in favor of protection to native industry. Mr. Gamble, of Toronto, whose name is well known as one of the favorite tour brands, followed Mr. Gowan. The gist of his speech went to try and prove the advantage of manufactures, and protec- tion from England, m the heme markets. He cited the instance of the West Indies and Portu- gui, us proofs of the ruinous policy of the free traders. The speech aa a whole was an able one, and displayed much ability and research. Mr. Gamble only diflered from Mr. Gowan in so far as | he went to greater lengths, regarding the policy pursued towards the colonies by Enuland. He stated that he was there to look out for that which was of the greatest interest to his adopted couutry, without reference to the interests of any other country. He considered that the prosperity of the United States was to be attributed to their having enacted their own commercial regulations, irrespective of any other country. He stated, that if the Cana- das did not husten themselves to recover the ground so long lost, and attempt to come up with their neighbors, they must inevitably meet the fate of all nations sunilarly situated, and become merged ito the great republic on which we bor- ger. Mr. Gambie sat down amidst great cheer- ig. < Mr. Ermantinger followed in a long nigmarole speech, which, long before its conclusioa, had nearly cleared the room. This gentleman looked forward to the day when the American republic, by its own fright, should fall from its present posi- tion, and become a great monarchy—Canada of course being the comer stone. (Great laugtter.) Mr. Wilson desired that a system of taxation should be pursued, which would tend mere to the advantage ef the people—he would admit all those articles which the Canadas did not produce her- self, free, and place a heavy duty on those which she did. In fact, his speech throughout, was ove of great ability. He defined the objects of the league to be those of framing better laws and go- vernment. He condesined the policy of Eagland as likely to be the means of her aking to rise no more. He desired that Canada should con- sider ber own interest, without reference to that of England. Jt was evident throughout, that the speuker was a warm supporter of separation from the mother country. But this he did not think prudent openly to come out for; the fact is, the party in favor of this, does not consist of more than one-third of the convention. One of the other two- thirds are those desirous of waiting a short tine longer, and the last will starve rather than give up the connection with the mother country. F. [From the Kingston British Whig, July 28.] ‘The garrison of Kingston. the municipal authorities, and the whole ivhabitants of the city, ineluding the members of the league, were thrown into the utmost state of consternation, yesterday morning. at sunrise, at seeing the Yankee flag—the very identical stars aud stripes—proudly flouting from the cupola of the City Hall. The guard at the battery, in frout of the City Hall, beat to arms immediately—the commander, Col, Young. was forthwith called out of his warm bed—tho Mayor was sent for, and the whole of the Aldermen aad Councillors summoned to meet in council everything wore the appearance of dread and dire alarm. ‘To add to the confusion, some wag spread a roport that four American line steamers were coming round the Point, filled with American troops. As soon as this fulse alarm bad subsided and the parties summoned had got together, they proceeded in # body, the sergeant of the ard going , to the cupois, and laying hold of the obnoxious flag, pulled itdown with great ignominy and tying it to cart’s tail. had it dragged through the streets of Kingston. and deposited it, with all d lemnity, in the temple dedicated to the Goddess Cloa- cina. at the water side.

My estimate of this hotel, and its most ex- erlient landlord, who is ever ready to promote the comfort and consult the wishes of his patrons, has already been given; but 1 understand that last | year @ system detrimental to the best interests of the Ocean House, and subversive of the hap- riness and enjoyment of the inmates, was, by some meads or other, allowed to gain an as- cendaney, and it Went so far, as 1 ain iatormed, | as (0 creaté a division, even among the waiters. With this, Mr. Weaver had no sympathy what- at ever, and I believe its correction was beyond his control. Among persons who, in poiat or truth, are obodies, but we aspire to be thought leaders of the fashion, there is always a certain character- istic by which the calibre of their minds, and the value of their claims toa prominent positioa in svciety, are easily discovered. The weil-bred are invartubly unassuming and unpretending, aad wo approach them at all times isa matter of no diili- culty ; but the arrogant, presumptuous, dictatorial, insolent, and sell-opmionated, upon whom un- steady and capricious fortune has smiled, are outlageously eaclusive, vehemently pompous, kull- ingly fine, and most ridiculously aristocratic — The se are the persons who take upon themselves 60 many airs, avd who play go many fantastic tricks, to the deep and poignant regret of common tense, and to the scandal of the lady and the gen- Ueman, who are the very antipodes of the would- be’s. Last season, at this place, there were cliques, or coteries, or exclusives, who had the te- merity to lay down rules and regulations whica were lo be observed by others. Nothing coald unjustifiable—they had no right whatever, direcuy, ehould such a line of conduct be again adopted, a re-action will swt in, Which will subject the eulpa- Nothing is more reprehensible, nay, contempuble, than for afew self-wappaned, und seli-styled ladies and gentle- men to exalt themselves ut.the expense of the feel- ings of others, who are their superiors in every e8- sential that constitutes true respectability, and in all the particulars which go to establish their claims to the rank of ladies and geatlemen, in the simple and unsophisticated sense of the terms. The faacy ball Just season at this hotel may be regarded as un ac- curate lustration of the arrogance and insolence ot the exelurives. A certain eligue got the sole management of that atlur inte their own hands, | in whom the power of admitting or excluding was | verted, and the consequence was, that much ho tifaction was expressed. But, to be candid, the landiord should not have transferred his privileges | and prerogatives to others—he should have retaiu- ed them und exercised them himsett. The public looked to him, and not to a few purse-proud, bat ignorant upstérts, who cared nothing for his lnte- Tests so long as they could gratify their own wishes. itis far from my intention to write one word that | would reflect in the least upon the vast aumber of | sell: made men, who were the founders of theirewa | fortunes— whe have achieved greatness, and who, by indefougable perseverance and honorable courres in trade end commerce, have justly reacts ed a high posinen im society. They are not inc! ded in the censure. The landlord must have the management of the ball himself, and if he have, I am certain that it will go off to the entire sutisface tion of all who may be present. This is nota class | country—there is no foothold here for exclusives or uristoctatic pretenders—the genius of our go- vernment and the feelings of the people are antugo- nisue to all such absurdities, vagaries and anamo- , hes. At the United States Hotel, Saratoga, where | the first people of the Unioa are to be met with, | suffering | and where foreigners of distinction assemble, be- cause it isthe most magnificent establishment its kind on the continent, there are no exclusives —uil are aflable, familiar, and communicative, and | for everything that relates to highly cultivated and polished life, it may be considered the Almack’s of the Union. 1 would earnestly recommend Mr. Weaver to be more careful and more jealous of his rights this season in reference to the ball; he is the proper person to conduct u~he must have the die poral of the tickets; and the power of saying who rhall enter the ball room and who shall not, must reet with hun, and with him alone, and not with rome balt-dozen petty artetoerats, who look upon a few dollurs as the sonree of all that is worthy, meritorious, and noble in human nature. The arrivals continue, and the landlord does not despair of having « good season. He feels satisfied that the house willbe full. [hope he will not be Cisuppointed, beeanse he is deserving of success. He does everything in bis power tw render his hovre unexceptionable, and 1m this he is efficiently reconded by his assistant, Mr. Olmstead, who is the very men for his porition; in proof of which it is euflicient to say, that fur thirteen or fourteen years be was et the Tremont House, Boston.
