By the June Packet, arrived at Halifax, we have received English papers to the 12th of that month, and have transcribed some of the most interesting articles.—The arrival of the Queen appears to attract the attention of Government, and possibly may interfere with its arrangements, and perplex its deliberation; it is to be hoped, however, that the inquiry now pending may lead to satisfactory result

Duties on Timber
Sir, I commoved for an account of all timber, cut within the American line, floated down the rapids for Canada, etc., for the purpose of re-exportation, from the year 1818 to 1820. The object he had in view in moving for this account was, to show that instead of benefitting our own Colonies, by excluding the Baltic timber, we were in fact giving all the benefit of the supposed monopoly to the United States. He was a friend to the shipping interest; but he would not support any system that conferred a benefit on one country, which we denied to another, while we ourselves were losers.

The settlement of Grand Manan has very much increased within these few years. The rev. Jerome Alley, Rector of this parish, lately visited that distant part of his mission, where he preached on the 30th inst., to a most attentive congregation, of at least 200 people on that day, he baptized 23 children and 4 adults, we are informed, had the day been favourable, the number of applicants for baptism, would have been at least 50 more. We understand, however with pleasure, that Mr. Alley intends to pay another visit to this island, by the latter end of next month.
            The situation of Grand Manan calls loudly for spiritual relief; its population at present exceeds 500 souls, without eh benefit of a resident clergyman; we are happy however to hear, that the greatest anxiety prevails amongst the inhabitants, on this important subject, and that they intend to exert all their means to erect a church during the ensuing spring. We sincerely hope that the Legislature will be pleased to afford some aid, towards so very interesting an object.

At this season when our beaux and belles are amusing themselves in riding through the streets in sleighs, it may not be amiss to caution the drivers to keep constantly the left-hand side of the road, in order to prevent accident.

“The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite,
In driving a sleigh or a carriage along,
If you keep to the left you are sure to be right,
And if you go right, you go wrong.”

On Saturday morning last, about three o’clock, the brig Robert, of Londonderry, Nova Scotia, lying at the wharf of D. McMaster, Esq., was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was immediately given, and the Firewards, Military and inhabitants, repaired quickly to the vessel. The most judicious measures were adopted, and carried into execution with spirit and promptitude, notwithstanding the extreme severity of the weather. We are happy to state their exertions were crowned with success, the fire being kept under until the rise of the tide, which completely extinguished it. The vessel has sustained less damage than was at first imagined. The fire was occasioned, it is supposed, by some defect in the hearth of the fireplace. Where all deserved praise, it may seem superfluous to particularize, yet we cannot help remarking, that Capt. Jones, Lieut. Barker, and the troops at this Post, deserve the thanks of the community for their unwearied exertions on the occasion
