' • We do not conceive any accounts from the frontier of sufficient interest tmre.copy; a series of imbecile attempts arid sanguina ry repuires constitute the amount . of all. In general the insurrection has been quelled by the loyal Canadians vi ithout the assistance Of the regulars. There ale several French officers made prrsoners, and confined at Montreal, who complain bitterly of deception practised to enlirt their services. To:sium up the whMe case, it is the plot ofiome halCdozen visionar) foolhardy knaves, who fly at the first ap proach of danger, end leave their deluded followers' to bear the brunt of the action. Where all will end, we know not, hut have' still sufficient confidence in the firmness and good sense of the citizens ,f viewl'ork. to tear no direct aggression onthei4arts, wtiah may endanger the good feelings of the two nation,. Valves in ('anal Boats,—Loss of Coal. The disadvanuNes.under wi.tch our oper ators have so long labored by the loss of weight in Coal, between here, and Phila. delphia, have given rise to various sugges. tions to obviate them. Among the plans heretofore euggesttd, is that o f placing valvs in the bow and stern of each boat, which will open by means el screws, when on the weigh lock, and let nut the water., This has now been brought into practice by iv r. Seism/ Sii/ymen of our Borough, and will, we think, in a great measure, remedy the evil complained of. Nothing better at least can be attained, unless we procure theco-nperat ion of the Navigation Company, in plane of mutual benefit apd relief. sir Thirty thousand dollar, will barely col er the loss sustained by coal dealers the last season from the difference of weigla between this place and the city. The average loss has been on each boat between three and tour tons, as has, been daily rest ed on the coal wharves of. Philadelphia, and particularly by the • experimental weighing stf six cargoes which fell short twenty one tons. 14 e are of the belief if recollection serves, that our navigation is the only one where this difficulty is mate. rially ' experienced ; on ail others the pur chaser receives full weight. The difficnl fy lies in the incorrect light weights Of boats, and the Most practicable plan whar.h has been suggested to obviate it, is t e establishntentof a tide lock, where a re • istry 'abatis ! , shall be kepi, and a cer ti - cam of light weight given, to answer only for ervitiele trip. The dealer thus will rh eeive his whole complement ul coal, and not be compelled to increase the price tit sever Ate :light weight. 'A e • earnestly tru-t this subject • 11 engage'the attentiart of those interested during the coming . winter. Another diAcultil presents itself between the' 'tier and the purchaser; it is the qua ity of coat abstracted from boats on 7. 14 thei ; downward passage. A lump or two thrown off at the tikuse of every boatman's customer on the line of canal, will make a material diffetence before the boat reach es 'nil.. Mount. This can be easily cov ered 6 , the boatnian, if he neglects to pump his boat for a day, or throws water overhis load; hut the city purchasers can not sell the bilge water fir coal, and there fore Must raise - the price to cover them selvea. We must there foie exert oursetvea this winter to pro Cure the passage of:a law by the 'Legislaturei, making the litist rac non of coal . by boattnen a penal offence. This can -easily be effected we think, and may tend to check: en evil now incteseed to a serious growth. Another plan bits been proposed, which will efford a fairer weight to the city pur r chas4rs. It is th,'at the Navigation Com. piny! should given its agents the power of making reasonable tieductions on .Coal toadeb to wet weeiher. It Coal is now shipped when wet, the boatmen lose the difference in weight on their arrival at the city, to prevent virtich they will sometimes krep it damp by throWing water over it.— rtigulation of this kind would prevent imposition by removing the cause. With these guards on our operations, we may restore thie coal trade to a living busitiess ; without them our mines might as well be deserted, for their working is suicidal. In the Mean tinte,we would re commend as a partial check, the general adirption of the valve, as introduced by Mr. S.illyman. iLet each boat be fitted during the comity. winter, and the evil maybe in a measure obviated, and we have little doubt t hatihe Navigation Com pany, will see the justice of complying with the pressing necessity which demands the erection of a tide lock and the adoption of other measure to protect the coal trade. Silk Culture.4—Niany persons have re genili-experilitenied in the cuitivdtion of the equerry, and have satisfsctortly pro ved that our region is well calculated both from soil and locelion for their propaga tion.
