The emigrants from Great Britain arrived this season at Quebec, up to
the 19th ult., were 18,131; same time last year, 38,159. A few days ago,
a party of Irish labourers, who had received, as they supposed, some
offence from a few Canadians, at Beauharnois, attacked and nearly killed
two respectable old inhabitants, who had nothing to do with the affair.
Another great fire at Toronto has burnt about twenty houses; and the
Methodist meeting at Waterloo has been burnt down by some incendiary.
The crops in both the Canadas are abundant. American coarse cottons are

ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AT BERLIN.--The Emperor of Russia
arrived on the 6th instant at Berlin.
THE DISTURBANCES AT BOLOGNA.--A letter from Bologna, September 2, in the
_Debats_, says:--"Notwithstanding the nomination of a military
commission, and the display of numerous forces, some armed bands have
again appeared, as is reported, in our province. One was commanded by a
priest at Castel-Bolognese (district of Ravenna). This state of things
does injury to trade and business of every description. The greatest
number of depositors have withdrawn their funds from the savings' banks.
A circular has been sent round to all the mayors of the province, giving
a description of eight persons, for the arrest of each of whom a sum of
300 crowns (1,700f.) is offered."
