This regret was a i a Io be justified on i i of patriotism and hvjalty. But this a a very striking deference.or rather a change has been observed in the i of the emigrants, towards the i Stales, and in their disposition to proceed as before to Ohio and Illinois.

We have good grounds for asserting, fh.it these feelings and this disposition have vcrv greatly abated, if they are not totally i and the names of I i i and Ohio, which were in the mouths of all the Yorkshire settlers last year, have scarcely been heard from the emigrants this season. The crowds of Emigrants that have thronged round the oflicc of Tlis Majesty's Resident Agent for Settlers has been more numerous than ever, and their i i have been more close and well as to the best means of taking np advantageous positions, than before. They a generally expressed their resolution to settle in one or other of the Canadas, and vast numbers have, in consequence been forwarded by the good locations, and otherwise assited to obtain cmploy- ment suited to their respective means, capacities and wants. As we are always gratified wlwn any increase takes place in the New Settlements in this District, and in the vicinity of Quebec, to iiotice the large numbers of families, pricipally from Yorkshire which have proceeeded to the New Settlements on the Craig's Road. It is much to be regretted, however, that some better mode of conveyance than the miserable market bntlraux could not be got for these settlers, to forward them to St.

Nicholas. The circumstance, too, of the boatmen being generally ignorant of English, occasions much embarrass- to the Emigrant in getting to i.s destination. jjattoe l-'nitn Ike Oluo Rvpu'i I)wailful most violent and i tornado was experienced in Tennessee on the night of the 31 si May.

The Lost thews, the unfortunate man who went from his house, in a state of mental derangement, on Wednesday IGth ult. taking three of his children with him, has not yet been found. A meeting of citizens was helJ at the capitol yesterday, at which the Mayor presided, when a Committee was appointed to search for person stated at the chamberlin's office, late last evening, that he saw a man with three children upon the road, four miieswosl of Amsterdam, on Thursday afternoon last. The committee immediately dispatched a messenger in pursuit of them, but no information had been received when our paper went to press. to the moment of our papers going to press, understand that no positive inforr-ioiion has been received of the lost children.

They are believ- to have gone towards Washington county, where Mr. Matthews was born or resided. When seen as ibove supposed, he was leading one while the two others followed land in hand. Two or three gentlemen left the city on the receipt of this informa- 'ion; and we understand the ar- was that if anv certain iccount was obtained at Troy, one of the gentlemen would and is we believe, that neither of them las yet returned, though the expected time has elapsed, the whole seems involved in much uncertainty.

The distress of this occasion has )een increased by the false informa- i person who declared he ind seen them at Amsterdam.
