By an order of the British Parliament, lately passed but not yet put in force, all the proceedings of the Courts of law in Canada are to be con ducted in English, which will serve to make the language more general. The Carfadian horses are a fine race of animals, very hardy, sagacious, and strong, carrying immense loads. Each driver has generally two horses and carts, and fre quently three in charge, and merely guid ing the first the rest follow, however loaded they may be. Another beast of burthen here is the dog, of which there are many who are harnessed to small two wheeled carta, and obliged to draw wonderful loads, considering the size of the animal. When tired they.lay down between the shafts and rest. They are very few gigs or coaches used; instead of which they have a vehicle with two wheels resembling our chair, with monstrous springs or suspenders, with a seat in front for two persons, generally with out a top; and it is astonishing with what apparent ease these ponies draw these ma chines with four persona in them. I was surprised at the number of beg gars in the street, and upon enquiry found there was no provision , made by the city for the poor; many of them were blind and decrepid. After spending two days at Montreal, I took ptssage in the large and eomodious steam-boat Swiftsure, for Quebec.

Just below 1 the former, we passed thcateam boat Her cules, of 100 horse power, with three large schooners in tow, for Montreal, having one on each aide, and one at the stern. For! some miles above Quebec, the banks be-! come high and precipitous, gradually rising until they attain their greatest height, at 1 Quebec. At 12 o’clock on the 31st we ar rived, having performed the passage in 26 hours, including 5 hours stoppage. For se veral miles above, the she re is covered with rafts of timber, along which I counted 80 square rigged vessels loading, with it, and was afterwards told that the harbor was un usually bare of shipping, head winds pre venting a number below from coming up, and the fall vessels not having arrived. We landed in the lower town nearly op posite Mountain-Street, the (scent to the upper. The river once it is said, washed the foot of the immense rock on which the upper town ia built, and the lower has been gradually filled out and built upon, to large proportion of the other business ofthe place, ia done here, below All the timber vessels load in the stream and seldom coff’e to the wharves except to repair. The hou ses gfibeiAlly, particularly in the lower town, are high and gloomy, built of atone, with atoep roofs to carry of the snow. Mountain-street, the ascent lo the upper town is quite steep and requires some effort to gat up, though the Canadian horses with heavy loads do not appor to sutler much either in ascending or deocending. At the head of it, in the city wall, ia the Prescott K te, the approach U> which ia commanded _ heavy cannon from several points. Tha being detailed, the rest paraded with side arms only. Their ceremonies were similar to ours, but the men I suppose were unused to act on occasions like this, for awkward ness was exhibited in the performance of certain motions, which I did not expect from men so. well drilled otherwise. A Scotch Regiment, the 71st, who formerly wore their national costume but now wear the British light infantry uniform, has at tached to it two Highland pipers, who, on this occasion, appeared in their full dross, with their pipes gaily decorated, but under a covering of crape.

It is 390 feet longby fifty'broad, and an additional build ing of the same size ia just finishing, the first being too small.

To iniure a superi ority to the Mexican flag in the Gulf, the Asia 74, and several frigates and aloops of war had been placed under thp command of Capt. Cochrane, and it was calculated that the debarkment of 12 or 13,000 disciplined troops, witfi the aid to be expected from some of the Creoles, would be sufficient to wrest Cuba from the Spaniards.
