      CANADA . ( From the Toronto Patriot , October 2 . ) If the on dit of the Albion , that the Queen has written to the Earl of Durham , entreating his stay in Canada , be true , it will s-it all the world to guessin ^ how it may operate on his Lordship ' s determination . We opine his Lordship will regard such a flattering manifestation of confidence on the part of her Majesty as a command not to be lightly disobeyed . The _ proceedin g « f the North American Colonial Association , ti-o , is vesy important , and may have some weight with the Earl . It is rumoured that the Duke of Wellington , Lord John Russell , Sir Robert Peel , Lord Glenelg , and Lord Melbourne , have written to the Earl , to request him to stay and carry out his measures .

      ( From the Niagara Reporter . ) We are indebted to our friend of the Chronicle for the following particulars in manuscript : — " About eleven o ' clock last Friday night , the Drngoon sentries at the lower ferry were fired upon by some villains near the Episcopal Church-yard . In about a quarter of ail hour three shots were fired , the men hearing the balls whistling past and striking the water . A strict search was immediatel y instituted , but the perpetrators of this diabolical outrage remain undiscovered . " This morning , about nine o'clock , the sentry on the steam-boat wharf was fired upon from the commons , as he believes . "A great number of shots have been fired from tht American side at the sentries posted at the upper terry . "

      ( From the Montreal Transcript . ) Assuming , with regret , that the departure of his Excellency the Earl of Durham is fixed , and will , in all probability , be delayed no longer than to put him in possession of any despatches or communications that may now be on the Atlantic , on board the Great Western , we cannot but consider it likely that this may hasten the crisis which , whether he stays or goes , is not far distant . We mentioned in our last number that the nature of the communications which reach us from

      different points of the country indicate very clearly the intention of an insurrectionary movement . The American papers , as if what had hitherto been conducted in secrecy was now complete , and needed no more concealment , tell us plainly that 9 . secret organization exists through the whole provinces , the members of which are plodged to rise simultaneously . We regret to observe that the indications of a spirit © f discontent in Upper Canada are not to be mistaken . We think them more serious than the reviving spirit of rebellion in the Lower Province .

      PosTscniPT . T—When we wrote the editorial matter which precedes this , we little expected that the truth of our information , and of the assertions of American editors , was so soon to be established . The curtain has risen already , and \ the first act of the tragic piece so long in preparatiou stands revealed- to all who dare to look upoa it—who do not wilfully avert their eyes . A convoy of arms , destined fo tht ready insurgents , has passed the

The ves-Jl ? hS * ailed from Callao on the 27 th informs us that the

      revoiutvon was declared on the 28 tb , arid by an W i c " £ SInce th ? n the same is confirmed : lhat all the north of Peru , which includes the de ^ partments of Libertad ,, Janin , Huaylas , arid Pierra , had declared ngamst the Confederation . Generals JNela and Siema had marched on Lima with 2 , 500 men , and had arrived at Chancay , about four miles tr-m Lima , where they were joined by General Obreft'oso , the President of Peru , with 600 cavalry from Lima , to complete the combination , and declare the revolution against the Protectoral Government of b « iiefal Santa Cruz . There are two battalions of lioivian troops stationed at Lima , and General Miller

      , Governor of Callao , and General Moray , wh © has commanded the naval forces , have been considered staunch friends of Santa Cruz : how they will act we do not know yet , but it 13 likely they will endeavour either to put the revolution down , or hold out in the castles of Callao , as Miller was putting wa : er and provisions in the castles . r lV Santa Crnz is in Bolivia , and had a considerable force there , and , should no revolution be made against him there , he will not give up the ship without trying his strength .

      of ihe 3 rd a part of the army had already embarked , and no doubt long ere this have arrived on some par * of thn coast of Peru to co-operate with the revolutionary party iu Lima . We are not at all surprised that this revolution should tiave taken place , as seve-¦ ral attempts have been made . Whether they have actually succeeded we do not know , but think it very probable , as it appeared so notorious .

      Melancholy Sufferings of Captain Booth , the Commandant at Pout Author . —( From the Au&trulian of the 6 th of July . )—We are indebted to Murray ' s Revkw for the foUuvring account of the recent disaster which betel Captain Booth : — "It appears than on Friday morning Captain Booth left Eagle Hawksneck for the purpose of looking after one of his servants , accorajjunied by the prisoner Tucker aad two kangaroo d ' o-s ; tW proceeded for some hours in the bush , whim Tucker said , in a very abrupt inanuer , ' We have , lost ourselves . ' Captain Booth replied ,. 'He would proceed . ' In about an hour Tucker again . "aid , ' ' \\ e have lost ourselves , ' stopping at the same tune to take a thorn out of bis foot . ' Captain . Booth proceeded alone , supposing Tucker would overtake him ; finding that he did no' and that he was not in

      si ' ghr , the bush being thick , Captain Booth called out , but no answer was returned . Night now soon c : ime on , and it began to rain . He attempted to light a fire , but could not succeed . Exhausted with cold and fatigue , he lay down and fell asleep . In a tew hours he awoke , and was almost motionless , but when the sun arose he was able to crawl a few paces , but the further he moved the more intricate the hush beeime . He thus pas-ed the whole of Saturday ( the night was very frosty ) without food , not eveq a morsel of Dread , destitute of covering , wet , and cold , without the means of making fire ; the intensity cf his sufferings can only be imagined , they cannot be described . On Saturday he was so reduced that he could only crawl upon his hands and knees , and looking only to death ; but he observed a hole through the hus h , apparently caused by some wild animal : nature then- enabled him to make a

      desperate effort ; he crawled to the hole , forced himself through it , and then obtained a sight of the sea , but from sheer exhaustion he was incapable of taking the advantage it afforded him of proceeding , and in despair he gave himself upas lost , and hia strength was fast wasting away . Thus did this genilenian pass another dreadful night . Tuesday momii . g came , the fourth day , without a particle of food , yet was he still alive , and his senses perfect , yet feeling himself gradually expiring ; when his Jast moment was all but come , he heard shots fired , and the sound of a bugle . The effect it had upon him Captain Booth states was indescribable . The gleam of hope was but transitory , it was suddenly

      overcast , as the sound of the bugle become fainter and fainter . Nearly senseless , stretched upon the earth , he with difficulty rose on his side , got a pistol from his breast , but forgot to cock it , arid with the force he pulled the trigger it snapped in pieces ; by great exertions he got another pistol from his breast , hut it was useless , being filled with mud and water . The means of his deliverance was most remarkable . His two faithful kangaroo dogs , which had never forsaken him during the four days and nights , and equally without food , rushed from their master as

      they heard the dying sound of the bugle , and , following it , came up with two men , John Mooney , of the 21 st Fu 8 ileers , and George Gill , a prisoner bl the Crown . These sagacious animals rapidly led the party to their dying master . The party found him lying on a tree , perfectly exhausted and nearly speechless , He was conveyed to his own housej at the _ settlement . The last account brought by Captain Lonsdale is , that he is doing well , but that he ¦ will probably lose one or two fingers and a toe , causedby being frost-bitten . "

      Capital Trick of a Debtor . — -A most laughable incident occurred a few days since in one of the principal gtreets of Dublin . An unfortunate wight , who happened to leave some unpleasant reminisceaces with a variety of tradesmen whom he bad for some time been liberally patroBising , and had giveB practical lessons in the useful art of book-keeping , was sauntering through Sackville-Btreet , between three arid four o ' clock , when his meditations were most abruptly eurtailed by the unceremouious greetings of a couple of hard-hearted knaves , in the shape of Sheriffs' bailiffs . Aware that a slight suspicion of debt might attach to him if seen in their company , and being very reluctant to comply with

      their invitation , . the youth suddenly exclaimefl-r " Even for conscience' sake will I suffer this ini ' quity .. ' . " The loud tones of his voice attracted the attention of peverai persons passiDgbTydbd to their inquiries as to the cause of his arrest he promptly replied , "Tithes , tithes ! I am abbut to be dragged to prison at the suit of a parson I never saw , ana for spiritual services I neyerEonght . ' ^ "lt ' 8 * shame , " said some patriotic Dissenter ,, in cordial sympathy with the martyr . "It ' sa disgrace , " said an indignant Papist . "We thould not suffer it , said a liberal Protestant . " I ' m d——d if we will / growled a pugnacious jarrey , bustling through the crowds " Tithes , tithes , " bellowed the prisoner . " Down with the tithes , " chorused a dozen of neffs * vendert , " Beat the bailifis , " ghouted a joung urchin perched on a lamp-post to oversee thefoB *

      " Ye » , by all mean ? , beat the bailiffs , " responded an applewoman striking the object of her wrato over the face . " Rescue the prisoner , " yelled the excited mob . "Here ' s the palice / ' roared the frightened beaks . " To h—11 with the police and the parsons , " rejoined an umbrella-man . "Beat the bailiffs , arid rescue the prisoner , " insinuated the imp on the lamp-posts , anrf in the twinkliDg of * n eye the afoire 8 Aid ministitfs of the law had measured the length of their respective corpses in the channel , while the •« martyr for conscience' sake" scudded off- tawarda Carlisle-bridge , at the rate of eight or ten knots an hour . Groups were y et lingering on the spot where the fracas had occurred , when the patrol arrived , and , from inquiries made by the inspector , it turned out that Mr . —— wan captured for a bonafide debt ^^ and owed far more i * big ingenuity tJian to bia conscientious scrup les for his release .

      The remains of Sir Robert Grant were interred in St . Mary ' s Church , Poona , on the 10 th of July , with all the honours and respect due to his rank and station . The mail brought by this conveyance cannot be expected in London until Tuesday , the i 3 th of Nov . by the Iberia steamer , in consequence of the damage done to the Royal Tar steamer . The mail via Marseilles may be expected in London on Monday morning . The mails from India , commencing 27 th Sept ., 1837 , up to , and including , 4 th June , 1838 , have averaged 54 days in their transit wo Marseilles , and 61 days via Falmouth . The following is an extract from a private letter brought by M r . Calvert : —

      " Twenty-five thousand men of the Bengal , and 5 , 000 of the Bombay army were about to take the field , and make a demons ; ration upon Candahar Cabool , and Herat , and take possession of those places in the name of Schah Sobjah , and replace him upon the throne , who was to join the British force with troops that were being raised , and to be commanded by British officers . A treaty had been entered into with these forces . There were Russian spies throughout India , and the native princes werp being tampered with by them . The accounts from the Burm-m empire wore a more pacific appearance the King of Ava having received the new British resident , Colonel Bunion . "

      ( From the Times . ) We publish copious extracts from a file of Bombay papers to the 13 th ult ., received on Saturday by the Indian mail through Egypt . They di .-close a state ot things likely to create some solicitude , and even alHtta , at home ; but it will be seen , on a careful inspection , that the military arrangements aiid preparations , though on a very large scale , - are essentkaiy of a dt-fensive character , particularly as bearing ou the movements of the " great enemy" of iudia , and therefore afTording hopes , if judiciously pursued , of ultimately placing our Indian colonies in a much safer position than they have of late ied

      occup . It is not , however , to be denied that the operation * now commenced are of a most delicate and difncult kind—that they will require consummate judgment and wisdom in the civil and inilitHry rulers of India by whom they nre to be conducted ; and also , what we fear they cannot with safety rely upon , intelligent support and counsel from the ministry at home . No man c .-in contemplate the peculiar tenure , the mixture of the moral and physical control , by which our Indian empire is hold , without reflecting that by the commenceineut of these hostile movements a spark is thrown among coiubus . iblef , which may lead to a general explosion .

      ' 1 lie important point in-this Indinn afl ' air is the project formed for replacing Schah Soojah an exiled native prince , on the thmne , from which he has been driven , of Cuboul , a part of the Allghauistan territory , lying between the IVr > iau frontier and that of the most powerful of Indian living sovereigns , Runjeet Singh . The _ title of Schah Soojali to . the throne ot CaLoul , a point which it always ha < been the policy <> l the Indian goveruinent hitherto ou . no account 1 o interfere with , is held by the casuists in these matters

      to be a doubtful one , but the justification for . ' a departure from that rule , and the support of his claim by a British force , is tke civil war and intejiml dissension by which that whole territory is agitated , and the increased danger thence urging to ourludian 1 'iupire , should the Russians succeed in tht-ir di'Mgns on Pi r .-i ; i , with 110 other barrier to their turiher advance than a country in that distracted find uii £ « trl «? d state . None of these coutfiidiiij ; chiefs could be made available" lor an alliance , or brought to act with anv dfgi-ee of concert ; but with

      a new and strong guvernnii-iit , Jormed by the aid of a British orec , and maintained by British connexion ^ a-ciii-ck would he . placed in Afl « hanistan on the advance of the Rns .- iaus , and any cumb ' ination on their part between Runjeet Sin « h or his . » ucces » or | . irevented . This terriiory , by its geographical po > ition , equally liars the approach to India from Persia , to the southward or to the eastward . _ The .-e are the circumstances upen which the justification of this great military movement is to depend . The force to be employed is very considerable , consisting in the whole ot 30 , 000 ruen ; the names of the regiments to be employed nnd other particulars , will be collected from the extracts we have given . A considerable portion \ rill consist of British trodps- . and a

      glance at the map will show that . their route , either from Bombay or-Calcutta , will lie through an immense tract of country , difficult to pass , and beset with the greatest dang rs and the severest privations . The whole was to assemble at Kernaul on the 31 st of this month , the period at which we are writing , and proceed by Bhutner and Bhawnpore , toCuboul , Candahar , ai » d such other parts of the Afghanistan territory as may be determined on in their progress . We have given what is stated in these Indiau accounts of the proceedings before Herat , because it

      is su mixed up with other matter that it is impossible to separate it , but there cannot be the slightest degree of authenticity in if . We . hav « had much later advices from that quarter , which not only do not confirm these , but lead to much more favourable results by a different- course of events , as regards the ascendancy of Russian influence in Persia . Thus the ; reat ingredient of time is gained on the side oi the British expedition to Caboul , so that its objects mny be accomplished before a d ' iflerent . turn to aftairs in Persia shall place within the reach oi Russia the means of prosecuting her designs further .

      It is also understood , and this is another material point for the success of the expedition , that the most friendly understanding exists between Runjeet Singh and our Indian Government . The accounts from the side of . the Burmese are much more favourable than the last * and indeed decidedly pacific in their teuour . The new resident , Colonel Benson , had . arrived , at Rangoon , and . met with a most friendly reception .

      THE RESULT . ( From the National Labourer . ) The Democrt . cy of Maine have most nobly triumphed I They have achieved a victory against all odds , over Federalism and its allies , of the most heart-cheering nature . Never did the archenemy of Democracy marshal its forces with better discipline and a more determined spirit , and never was it more utterly prostrated and defeated than on Monday , the 10 th . The accidental triumph of our opponents last year , and the insolent manner >»> which they exercised their brief authority , as well as the fierceness with which Democratic principles were assailed , awoke the Dtrbpcracy to a new life .

      and animated them with an ' inflexible and unconquerable spirit . Last year the Federalists were in possession of the State Executive and Legislature , with the exception of one branch . This year the Democracy have elected their Governor by about THREE THOUSAND MAJORITY , and have elected a clear and decided majority in both branches of the Legislature . The triumph is complete , and t > h . o . wa to the Union , that Maine knows how to meet the crisis , and will sustain an Administration whose purely Democratic policy has arrayed agajfcst it an opposition animated by the most malignant spirit , and openly professing principles utterly at variance with our free institutions . The
