The ajsr/es for the Western District of Upper Canada wore held last week at Sandwich, by Chief Justice Powell, but the proceedings do not prove so interesting rs had been expected, and no trial came on relative to the trans- actions of the North-West Company. Tin-ordinary business of the District occupied the Court three days—during the rest of the week nothing wa? dene except by the Grand Jury. On Mon¬ day a bill of indictment was preferred agiinst the Earl of Selkirk and others, for resistance to legal process at Fort Wiil'tain, but was thrown out by the grand jury. Another indictment was then preferred against his Lordship and vseveral others, for a conspiracy to in¬ jure or de-troy the trade of the North- West Company ; in support of which a »reat multitude of their servants were brought forward a^ witnesses. The grand Jurv were occupied for three days in hearing their testimony, and the attorney general attended to con¬ duct their examination- and to mar- shall the evidence. It was at first proposed that Mr. Simon M*GUHvray9 a partner in the North-West Compa¬ ny, should do this otiice. but this was resisted by the grat.u Jury.

Lake Eric Steam-Boat. The Steam-Boat, lately built on Lake Trie, is named " Walk-in-the Water," a name borrowed (perhaps) from a late Indian Chief, but certainly expressive of a Steam-Boat's manner of travelling. The master of this walk- fog machine, is Captain Fish, a name better adapted t'> wimming, than walking in the water. Instead of saili.n<r, however, the boat will probably to be said either to walk or to swim, from Buffalo to Detroit. With all our hearts, we wish her watry walks may be both pleasent and pioiitable. ===== \y Free Ports.
