Arrival of the Canada. 
The steamship Canada, from Liverpool .Tan. 
Oth. arrived at Halifax Jan. 17th. 
The news from the seat of war is unimpor¬ 
tant, except the fact that the allies had, on 
the 28th of Dec., 800 guns in readiness to open 
fire on Sevastopol. The seige works are ad¬ 
vancing steadily, and direct communication 
between the troops in the city and the Russian 
forts at Balaklava, has been cut off. Sorties 
are made almost every night by the Russians, 
but on every occasion they have been repulsed 
with great loss to the assailing party. The 
allies are strengthening their position, and will 
soon be able to take the offensive. Their loss¬ 
es are more promptly and solidly repaired than 
are those of the Russians. Notwithstanding 
the favorable turn in the affairs of the allies, 
and the near completion of the arrangements 
for storming the city, it is thought that no 
important step will be taken by them till the 
15th of January. In the meantime the armies 
are in high spirits, and anxiously await the 
signal for the attack. 
The conference at Vienna did not amount to 
much. The Russian ambassador was not in¬ 
trusted with discretionary powers, ami after 
receiving the views of England, France and 
Austria in regard to the Four Powers, he asked 
and obtained a delay of fourteen days, in order 
to confer with his Government. 
The news from Great Britain is singularly 
meagre. The London Times has created con¬ 
siderable excitement in England, by adverting 
in the boldest terms to the removal of Lord 
Raglan from his command in the East, on the 
ground of incompetency. The Times is also 
vigorously writing down the ministers, and in¬ 
dicates the Marquis of Dalhouise, the present 
Governor of India, as the only man capable of 
the position of Minister of War. 
Franck.— Subscriptions to the new loan were 
opened on the 2d, and good business done. 
Considerable many large sums came from Eng¬ 
land. The French Baltic fleet is ordered to re¬ 
assemble at Brest and Cherbourg. 
Spain. —The Spanish Government look very 
coldly on the proposals of the English Govern¬ 
ment to enlist soldiers for the war. 
Russia.— An imperial manifesto was issued 
on the 25tli of Dec., calling on the country to 
make every sacrifice for war. An additional 
revenue is to be raised on salt and tobacco. 
The export of furs from Foland has been for¬ 
bidden. 
Austria. —Eight Austrian batteries, of eight 
guns each, are to be supplied with gun cotton. 
Germany. —The Bavarian army is now upon 
a war footing. Both the Prussian and Sardin¬ 
ian Governments have lately forbidden the ex¬ 
portation of horses. The Prussian G overnment 
has also issued a notice calling attention to the 
law forbiduing Prussians to enlist in any foreign 
service. 
Switzerland. — Air. Way has presented a 
draft of a treaty with the U. S. to the Federal 
Assembly. A private despatch from Berlin, 
on the 27th of Dec., says that the British 
Charge d’Affairs addressed an official demand 
to the Federal Council for permission to enlist 
Swiss. The Council is said to have replied by 
a formal refusal, stating that Switzerland 
would maintain absolute neutrality in the 
great war. This is thought doubtful. 
Italy.— Three shocks of an earthquake had 
been felt throughout Piedmont at three o’clock 
in the morning, on the 29th ult. 
A labor riot broke out at Carara in conse¬ 
quence of which the city was placed in a state 
of seige, and all arms in the hands of the riot¬ 
ers were ordered to be delivered up within six 
hours after notice. The immaculate concep¬ 
tion was celebrated by a fortnight festival, and 
the Neapolitan army, while it lasted, was 
placed under special benediction. Owing to 
the threatened disturbances in Brascia and 
Verona, the theatres were ordered to be closed, 
and public assemblies were prohibited. 
Markets. —The commercial advices by the 
Canada are essentially the same as previously 
received by the Baltic. Breadstuff's unchanged 
in value, but the markets generally were very 
quiet, and quotations were almost nominal.— 
The quotations by the Baltic are repeated by 
the Canada. Provisions were firm but not ac¬ 
tive at previous prices. Lard dull and tended 
downward. 
The Tolls at Elsinore. —We clip the follow¬ 
ing from the Boston Chronicle :—It is recom¬ 
mended that our government shonld immedi¬ 
ately give the King of Denmark the preliminary 
notice necessary to rescind the existing treaty 
between the countries, and then get up a sort 
of Welsh toll gate row at ‘ ‘ the wi d and stormy 
steep of Elsinore.” This place is famous in 
Shakespeare’s Hamlet—in Campbe l’s fine bat¬ 
tle ode of ‘‘Nelson and the North,” and in¬ 
famous on account of the black mail that the 
Danish government has levied there from time 
immemorial, on all ships trading in the Baltic. 
The New York Journal of Commerce says, that 
in 1853 the Danish treasury derived over $50,- 
000,000 from this system of levying ocean 
black mail. Russia backs Denmark in this 
imposition, because the Czar has a reversionary 
interest in the Danish crown. England, France 
and Prussia are opposed to it, and would be 
pleased to sec our government refuse to sub¬ 
mit to it. 
Lake Wrecks of 1854.—A gentleman who 
has taken some pains to inform himse f on the 
subject, writes the Niagara Mail that the total 
amount of shipping wrecked from the head of 
Lake Michigan to the foot of Lake Ontario for 
the past season, is nearly as follows, viz., of 
steamers 7, large propel ers 12, brigs6, barques 
and schooners 48. Out of the whole number 
he finds reported 42 total wrecks, embracing 
neany all the steamers and propellers referred 
to.— Buffalo Republic. 
The Cost of War. —It costs England $700 
for every soldier landed in the Crimea. This, 
of course, includes his bounty on enlistment. 
Each of the ten-inch shells thrown by the Al¬ 
lies in the seige of Sevastopol, cost £35—about 
$150. So treasure shoots away. War is a 
hundred fold more expensive than formerly. 
The soldiers demand more comforts, and every¬ 
thing used is paid for. Stealing is no longer 
the rule. 
Tiie steamer Globe arrived at Buffalo Jan. 
20, from Toledo, through without stopping.— 
There was very litt e ice on the lake and the 
weather pleasant and moderate. 
The wreck of the steamship Franklin affor ;s 
an illustration of the amazing strength with 
which our ocean steamers are built. Notwith¬ 
standing the great length of time which she 
has been ashore, she stil ; remains entire—only 
being “hogged,” or bent amidships, where 
some of the butts are started, and sand has 
entered. 
Mr. Siierman, a member of the Michigan 
Legis'aturc from the Lake Superior region, lias 
given the House notice that he will introduce 
a joint resolution, instructing its Senators and 
Representatives in Congress “to set off” the 
upper peninsula of that State into a Territory, 
to be known as the Territory of Superior. 
The soldiers of the Revolution are dropping 
off one by one. The recent report of the Pen¬ 
sion Bureau states that the whole number of 
those entitled to pensions is 1,069, and that 
325 died during the previous year. In a short 
period there will not be a single living witness 
of “ times that tried men’s souls.” 
Forty-five persons have died during the 
year who had attained the age of 100 years 
and oyer. The person attaining the greatest 
age was a colored woman named Francis, who 
died in the City Hospital, Mobile, of debility, 
at the age of 146 years. The case was official¬ 
ly reported from that institution. 
The late M. Marrast was offered wealth and 
honors by Louis Napoleon. He rejected them, 
and died in want ; true, however, to his prin¬ 
ciple and himself. Forgetting this refusal, the 
Emperor has bestowed a pension of 6,000 francs 
on Madame Marrast,—an act of grace not less 
honorable than it is politic. 
It appears by a parliamentary paper that up 
to October 10, 1854, the war with Russia had 
cost over twenty-one mil.ions sterling—viz., 
army, £7,060,882 ; navy, £10,057,755 ; ordi¬ 
nance, £3,690,890 ; additional expenses, £330,- 
000. Since Oct. the cost has increased. 
The fine piece of property at the corner of 
South William and Beaver streets, New York, 
known as Demonico’s Hotel, was recently sold 
at pub ic auction for the handsome sum of 
$111,000. The sale is understood to have been 
made for the purpose of closing an estate. 
Orders have been issued to the twelfth reg¬ 
iment, by Major-General Sanford, to hold 
themselves in readiness for instant action, in 
case of any disturbance which may arise from 
the daily congregations of the unemployed 
workingmen in New York city. 
It is reported, says a Boston paper, that a 
lady in that city has spent, during the year 
1854, at a lace embroidery store, the sum of 
$2,000, and that severa 1 ladies have each con¬ 
tracted bil s at the dry goods stores varying 
from $5,000 to $6,000 each. 
In 1680 a Baptist Meeting House was nailed 
up in Boston, and the members were ordered 
to refrain from worship therein until permitted 
by the “General Court.” Now, a Baptist 
clergyman is Speaker of one of the branches 
of that “ Court.” 
According to the late census, the three simpl¬ 
est towns in the United States are Harris, Es¬ 
sex county, Vermont, having a population of 
eight; Averill, in the same county, seven ; 
and Liberty, in Keokuk county, II inois, with 
a population of five. 
The Ladies’ Ball in New York for the relief 
of the poor of the city, held at the Academy of 
Music Wednesday evening week, is said to have 
been a stupendous affair. Some six thousand 
persons were present, and the profits will prob¬ 
ably reach $10,000. 
The Jacksonville News has been shown a 
lemon grown upon the banks of the St. John 
river, Florida, which measured eleven and a 
half inches in circumference. Among quite a 
large lot there were none less than nine inches 
in circumference. 
The Grand Jury of the New York U. S. Cir¬ 
cuit Court, recently in session, have made a 
presentment concerning the loss of the Arctic. 
No indictments are found, but it is recom¬ 
mended that additional boats be added to pas¬ 
senger ships. 
Cart. West, of the steamship Atlantic, has 
been presented an e'egant service of silver 
plate, by passengers in his ship during a stormy 
voyage last September, and the same gentle¬ 
men have contributed $300 for the crew and 
officers. 
The jury, in the Supreme Court, Boston, in 
the case of Miss Emmons against the city, for 
damages received by falling through a coal 
hole on the sidewalk, recently gave a verdict 
in favor of the plaintiff, and fixed the damages 
at $4,000. 
The rai’road accidents of 1854 number 198— 
186 persons ki led, and 589 injured. The num¬ 
ber kil ed outright is less than the previous 
year ; the number of accidents and the num¬ 
ber of wounded show an increase over that 
period. 
John B. Gough, the celebrated temperance 
lecturer, now in Europe, has received an invi¬ 
tation to visit Australia. A large sum, it is 
said, has been promised him by -way of remu¬ 
neration. 
The English Government has entered into 
contracts for 50,000 Minie rifles and rifle car¬ 
bines. The contracts have been taken by 
manufacturers at Leeds, Birmingham and Lon¬ 
don. 
In New Hampshire, where the State election 
takes place in about eight weeks, political 
matters are waxing warm, and it appears that 
there, as elsewhere, Know Nothingism absorbs 
all others. 
A gang of a dozen burglars has been discov¬ 
ered in Cincinnati, and four of them arrested. 
Among the prisoners is Wm. Connelly, of New 
York, who was suspected by Allison of having 
sent the infernal machine. 
Steam was on Tuesday of last week applied 
to the machinery for crushing the gold quartz 
found at Bridgewater, Vt. It is confidently 
believed there is gold enough to pay the ex¬ 
pense incurred, and more too. 
The members and friends of the Press of 
Syracuse, ce ebrated the anniversary of Frank¬ 
lin’s Birth, Wednesday night week, in grand 
sty e. The attendance was large, and the best 
feeling characterized the occasion. 
The total sapp y of Anthracite coal trom all 
the different coal regions in Pennsylvania, 
since the commencement of the trade in 1820, 
amounts to 48,997,860 tons, of which the 
Schuylkill region furnished 25,190,604 tons.

There has been a partial subsidence in i'ne price of 
grain all round the board, and very little animation is ex¬ 
hibited by buyers. Wheat, which was quoted last week 
at $2,45, with an upward tendency at that, cannot to-day 
be sot higher than $2,38(JJ2,44. Flour remains at about 
tho former quotations. Corn is three cents lower, Barley 
sixpence, and Buckwheat do. 
Hay is a dollar per ton above last week’s prices, and 
other things remain unchanged. 
In the monoy market the prospect still continues to 
brighten, and confidence becoming restored. There have 
not been any important movements of specie during the 
week, no California steamer having arrived, and foreign 
shipments having ceased entirely. The prospect is that 
a largo portion of the influx of the precious motals for 
some months to come will remain at home.
