' ' ¦ "¦ ' . ¦ ¦ "" : ;¦ \ ' ' : § ( FROM THE PAPERS . ) The Montreal Gazette of the 11 th , says : — ¦ . sAt seven o'clock this morning , I h& Excellency the Govemdr-General , accompanied b y the Countess of Durhiim and family , and attended by his Lordship's suite , left this city for Upper Canada .

      ( From the Montreal Gazette of the 10 th . ) / With five exceptions , we learn that all the stateprisoners have been admitted to bail in various sums . The bail-bonds for Mess . J . J . Girouard , L . M . Tiger , Coursolles , W . H . Scott , and Dr . Kimber * are riot yet executed . ( From the New York Daily Express , July VI . ) Lower Canada . —Lord Durham has annulled the proclamations issued by the Earl of Gosfprd , offering rewards for the apprehension of Certain traitors .

      ( From the Quebec of Gazette of July 4 . ) We are informed that his Excellency the Governor provided temporarily , before his departure , for a court of appeals , the term of which commences on the 20 th instant . The Chief justice of the province of Quebec , Mr * Justice Panet , have been sworn in of the Executive GouSeil , but without the state oath ; and the Chief Justice of Montreal , and one of the puisne judges there , and Mr . Justice Vallierre , will be sworn in , in sufficient time . These judges , with Mr . Arthur Buller , also sworn in of the Executive Council , and the other members of that body who remain in Quebec , will he able to form a quorum for the causes for all the districts , no judge sitting for those of the district to which he belongs .

      ( From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of ( Monday . ) Resignation of Sir George Arthur . — A report is in town that Governor Arthur has tendered his resignation to the home government . We know not what degree of credit w to be attached to it . It is said to be quite current at Toronto , and to have derived its source from the intimations given out by the Governor » secretary . The cause of this step is alleged to have been the amnesty act of Lord Durham . ( Fro ? n the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Thursday . )

      The Resignation of Sir George Arthur . —We learn that the agent of Governor Arthur , in this city , has received instructions from Toronto to suspend certain arrangements which he had been directed to make respecting the journey of Lady Arthur , who . is expected by one of the Liverpool packets , from this city to Canada . This , if true , goes to confirm the rumour we mentioned a day or two since .

      ( From the Quebec Gazette of the 6 th tilt . ) There is no reason to doubt that a general movement of the refugees from Canada , in the United States , and the worst description of their sympathising friends , has been directed along the line of the Upper Canada , 'frontier , in the double view of their providing for themselves by plunder , and harrassing the British Government , and occasioning Jarge draughts on the Treasury . The last part of the plan was that recommended to the leaders in both provinces by the Roebucks and , ChdpmansJn England .

      arid assiduously acted upon by these leaders while they commanded majorities in the House ? of Assembly , and afterwards in their agitation meetings , which finally brought on the rebellion . It is not likely that they expect much success by these predatory attacks ; but the alarm which they occasion along the frontier cheeks trade and industry , and must occasion great expenses , while it breeds ill feelings between the people of the provinces and the United Siates , which may ultimately extend to their governments .

      ( From the Toronto Palladium of July 4 . ) The publication of this number has been deferred to the last moment , in order to give the latest news from the west . ' . It is not certain how many of the rebels or Yankee marauders have landed at or near the PortSarnia ; but it seems they crossed over in force to Bear Creek , and proceeded up that stream towards London . An engagement of our outposts has taken place , in which sixteen of the enemy were killed , and six taken prisoners ; an dthe engagement terminated in the utter rout of the rebels . Our loss is said to be two killed .

      But this is the day in which the grand effort is to be made , and it will be well if our Privy Council * l . ors are not still found to bein their night-caps . Important news may be expected to-morrow ; and if it be as we anticipate , we shall issue an extra with the particulars . The editor of the Toronto Patriot , who a little while ago threatened the United States with utter extermination , now calls lustily for more troops to protect the Canadas from the blood-thirsty Yankees . He

      says" The American people , Heaven knows , and we announce it in staring capitals , ' Do want the Canadas , and will get them if they can ;' and what is more , if we have not an army of 25 , 000 British soldiers during the next winter , they will have them , all the dicta of all the implicit reliers on American honour , integrity , and good faith to the contrary notwithstanding .

      Riot at Stockholm , 20 th Ult . —The tranquillity of this capital was again disturbed in a lamentable manner . Yesterday , at noon , on a trifling alarm of fire in the Gothgotan , a crowd of people collected . The fire was soon extinguished , but it being reported that Crusenstolpe was to "be removed to the fortress , the crowd , consisting partly of women , went towards the Town-hall . Military precautions were here taken ; however , M . Oxenstierna , the Governor ad interim , and Colonel Daewell , succeeded in inducing the mob to , disperse . About nine in the evening , the mob again collected ,

      which , in the official report of M . Haltberg , published in theState Gazette to-day , is estimated at between 700 and 800 , and in the report of Lieut . Sandels , at 2 , 000 or 3 , 000 persons . According to the same official statements , the windows in the Town-hall were broken by stones thrown at them , and the patrols were likewise pelted . The disturbance was first caused by a number of foreign seamen , who were enraged because two of their comrades had been arrested in the afternoon . They were joined by a number ol vagabonds ; the rest were curious- spectators . Here and there were cries of " Crusenstolpe for ever ! " u Release him ! " &c . As all .

      remonstrances were unavailing , Lieutenant Sande ]? , after three successive warnings , which were answered by volleys of stones , gave orders to iire , by which two men were killed , and eight others more or less wounded . Meantime reinforcements arrived , and at one o ' clock in the morning tranquillity was perfectly restored , and no fresh disorder took place . -At halfpast eight this morning ^ Crusenstolpe , accompanied by his wife , who had obtained permission , was transferred from his prison in the Town-hall on board a sloop to the fortress of Haxholm . The people assembled about the Town-ball remained quiet , and no cries were heard .

      CANINE TESTIMONY . Mansion-House . —On Saturday , a strong instance of brute attachment was exhibited in the justice-room , before the Lord Mayor , in a casein which a dog of King Charles ' s breed was a subject of dispute . A person named Alloway stated that he -had lost the dog , which went by the name of Fan , some months ago from his shop , and that a few days since , seeing the dog pass by with the defendant , who was a dog fancier , he thought the best thing he could do was to seize the animal , which knew him perfectly well , and insist upon detaining it as his property . The seizure was at once lesisted by the defendant , and the matter was ultimately referred to the Lord Mayor . . -

      His Lordship was obliged to examine several witnesses , who were brought forward by both parties to prove that Fan was the property of both , and these witnesses swore so resolutely that his . Lordship began to suppose that the dog must be like Sir Boyle Roche ' s bird , possess the capability of being in two places at one and the same time . It appeared that Fan had since the complainant said he had lost her , grown from puppybood into bitehhood , and it was attempted upon the part of the defendant to show that the marks of canine infancy disappeared as the animal advanced to the years of discretion ; while } i on the other side , it was contended that the distinguished characteristics of the pup beeamemore strongly developed by time .

      The Lord Mayor , in the course of the long , investigation , during which Fan was seated on the table , occupied in alternately noticing the two claimants to her person , with affection , gave an Opinion , founded upon various little indescribable circumstances , that the complainant was the-legitimate owner . His Lordship , however , expressed a wish that be bad some opportunity of testing the judgment of the merry little subject of dispute herself , whose authority he was more disposed to look for assistance in forming a correct estimate of the merits of the question than to that of any of the bipeds by whom he was surrounded .

      Mr , Hobler having , during the examination , noticed that the complainant mentioned that he had received Fan from a gentleman who resided in the borough , named Newsom , and who had teen a most affectionate master , proposed that that person-should be sent for . ' - The Complainant—She was quite a pup when Mr . Newsom gave her to me ; but I dare say , though she can't inow him , that he well recollects her . The Lord Mayor immediately desired that Fan ' s first master should be sent for ; and a messenger was accordingly despatched to the borough .

      Mr . Newsom , upon looking at the dog ) whose back was turned to him , told the Lord Mayor that he had no dcubtat all upon the subject . He then described the marks upon the breast , feet , and face of Fan , which at once set at rest all doubt , if any existed , of the identity of the animal . At this moment the defendant was fondling Fan , andthe little good-humoured creature seemed to divide her affec ^ tiohs equally between the claimants , turning from one to the other , as if to conciliate both . The Lord Mayor . —Perhaps she would know you , Mr . Newsom ? . .. . . -

      No , my Lord , I don ' t think she would , as she was so young when I parted with her to the complainant , to whom I gave her when she had the distemper , upon condition that he would give me one of her first pups . Besides , her name is changed , I used to call her name Primrose . The instant the little creature heard the name of Primrose , she started from the hands of the defendant , and springing towards Mr . Newsom , actually flung her paws round his neck , licked his face , and howled with delight . " What do you say to that , Mr . Defendant ? said the Lord Mayor . "Don't you think Fan knows her first master best ?"

      Defendant . —Oh , my Lord , she'd go to any . body . Here Fan , Fan , Fan ! Amidst the laughter of the whole office the defendant continued in vain to call her Fan , atvi " pretty bitch , " and to snap his fingers and chirrup to her . Primrose had , after a long absence , met her first love , and she could not part with him for any other suitor . ¦ V The Lozd Mayor . —I thought I'd get some help from Fan herself , and I am much gratified at the unerring testimony which she has given . Mr . Alloway , take her home , she is yours , and you ought to be fond ofrhen Defendant . —But , my Lerd—The Lord Mayor . —What do you want more ? You don't suppose the dog tells a lie , do you ? Defendant . -I'm blest if she a'ntas greata Haras her master , and no mistake . ( Loud laughter . ) .

      The Lord Ma yob . —I wish you had taken a lesson from her ; if you had done so you ' d have saved ub all this trouble . This is a most valuable animal . Denfendant . —Begging your pardon , my Lord , I don't think she ' s any thing of the kindi I can tell you I take her for a different character , for I ' m sure she ' s a d—d bitch . ( Great laughter . )

Giles ' s . On the New Year n s night , $ Te years ago , there was what was termed a convivial c harmonic meeting at this house . A great deal of jpking took place , and one man was particularl

      y picked upon as a subject of ridicule . This person was at last exceedingly incensed , and was alctt leaving the room , when some person gave him j slight tap on the hat . The man oh this returnKi took up a tobacco pipe , and / walking to the fc ' deliberately made the thin end red hot .

A High Constable Hocussed and . Bob-BED .. ^ -Mr . Charles Batten , the high constable 6 [ South Morton , * Berkshire , and also an extensiye paper-maker , was in London on business on Fri ^ aj-, and had booked his place to return homeby the . one o ' clock coach ; but he unfortunately fell * in mtb two persons , apparently gentlemen , in Thamesstreet , who by some means had ascertained the fart

      of his having booked his place , and no abuWtht he had a round sum about him . They told himtEe ^ were going to South Alorton on the following day , and succeeded in persuading him to go with them to the eoaeh-offiee to postpone his journey . M . Bitten had paid his fare , and the strangers booW themselves to go by the same coach , but-did lot pay anything . After this little matter had ka arranged , the magsmen proposed a trip to Gr » wichby water , which Mr . Batten acceded to , prf viously to which , however they called at serd public-houses . He was induced to believe his neir acquaintances were highly respectable , as the one

      appeared to have the other under his protection , h having recently arrived from America , and tad received a large sum of money , recovered throtjh the Court of Chancery here , a portion of TrP tier pretended to show : Mm , in what he conceiieii were a roll of Bank of England notes . On arriyitj at Greenwich they proposed taking tea , and weat » the Ligbnier ' s Head for that purpose . —Mr .

It is supposed , during his absence pntbat errand that some drug was put into the tea-pot , ail that in all probability the robbery was committed when they assisted him off with his boots , for shortly

      afterwards the villains quitted the room under pretence of buying periwincles , and of course did not return . On the waiter again going in to Mr . Batten , he was in a state of complete stupor , he hawg drunk his tea , but the other bad been emptied into the slop basin . It was then discovered that &J had robbed him of 50 sovereigns and a £ 20 jBanioi England note . Diligept search was immediatdj made for the vagabondg , but at present wiW effect . They are described as being . about fivefwt four inches each in height ; one of them wasi dressed in black , wearing a very deep hat band , and cloi goloshed boots , and somewhat under forty years of age . The other rather younger , pale faced ; and wearing a black coat , light-coloured trousers and waistcoat . Such was the confidence of Mr . Batten

      that the money had only been taken in joke or fa security , that he could not be persuaded he had b «!! robbed until he subsequently found a roll of balfpence in a piece of brown paper in his fob p ocket What could have induced him to join them in tie first instance is inexplicable ; the subsequent part of the transaction can he easily understood .

      1 IMPORTANT FROM PHILADELPHIA . At the meeting of the general committee of banks on "Wednesday evening , the resolutions in favour of a convention reported by the sub-committee , were carried , not unanimously , but by a small majority . After this vote the Bank of the United States gave notice , that after the 1 st of August it should cease to pay or receive interest on bank balances , and would on that day be ready to adjust all such balances by payment . The Bank has sent a circular to institutions out of Philadelphia , with which it has balances , announcing the same fact , and added that the officers

      of the Bank do not mean that this should be understood as an announcement of their intention to resume specie payments generally on that day . Mogt of the letters from Philadelphia consider all the movements as insuring a general resumption of specie payments on the 1 st of August . The dissolution of the general committee leaves each bank to act for itself . Mr . Biddle ' s control over the banks around him , whether exercised through this commit * tee or otherwise , is evidently broken up , and be has been driven pell-mell to look resumption in the face , and under circumstances much more embarrassing than would have existed had he but united with the New York banks , and made a general resumption in May .

      P . S . We had written thus far when the Philadelphia United States Gazette of yesterday morning came to hand , containing the proclamation of Governor Rituer , who has proved hiinself a sound and sensible Whigj by signifying to those able-bodied lubbers within its jurisdiction who say they can pay their dehts , but Will not , that unless they alter their minds before the 13 th of next month , he will make them ache for the omission . This , in the matter of specie payments , will bring all the Pennsylvania banks including the ¦** Great Regulator , " over to the

      side of the New York banks ; and as nothing but the example of the said regulator has prevented a resumption by the banks in several other states ere this , so it may be expected they will now , one and all , gather up their duds and resume . At any rate nothing but good can grow out of the proclamation , and we welcome it as a bright spot in our financial horizon . The United States Gaxette , one of Mr ; Biddle ' s organs , says , " The document is an able and patriotic production , and one that will be received with joy by our citizens generally . " So we think .
