The track of the Grand Trunk Railroad is now 
completed at Toronto, and connects with other 
roads, so that trains laden at Stratford or Colling* 
wood proceed to Montreal without breaking bulk. 
The Toronto Olo/r lately published a supple¬ 
ment, devoted to a history of the Rise, Progress 
and Present Position of that city, whose remarka¬ 
ble growth, and recent steady advance, is one of 
those marks of American enterprise which have 
astonished the world abroad. The (list white peo¬ 
ple visited Toronto in 1791, and it was then named 
by Gov. Simcoe, York, after the Duke of York. 
Ily this name it continued to be known until 1 HIM, 
when it was incorporated as a city, under the name 
of Toronto, In 1807, the town contained 1,058 
white residents. In 1821, there were 1,559 inhab¬ 
itants. In 1858, the enumeration showed a popu¬ 
lation of 11,760. Its banking interest amounts to 
$18,000,000. The shipping trading at the port, 
amounts to 18 steamers, 17 propellers, and 10!) 
schooners, whose aggregate tonnage is 41,196, and 
value $9,494,000. Resides these are some 40 small 
craft, engaged in t he coasting trade. The estimate 
of city taxes for 1850 is £28,706, not including re¬ 
pair of walks, crossings, culverts, Ac,, which will 
amount to £40,000 in addition. Aggregate valua¬ 
tion of real property £0,055,791, of personal £1,- 
077,225. 
The ButYalo Courier says, an official notice has 
been published in Ganutla, announcing that all 
railroad companies whose lines of railway cross 
the provincial boundary, or terminate at such 
boundary, shall be allowed to transport goods 
without being detained at frontier posts for the 
purpose of being examined at the Custom House, 
or for the. execution of front ier bonds. A compli¬ 
ance with certain regulations, on the part of the 
railroad companies is required. These regulations 
are published, the most important of which require 
that the companies shall provide proper warehouses 
and offices, and that cars shall be specially set 
apart for taking the goods through and having 
them locked up. 
Arrival of the Steamer Canada. 
The steamer Canada arrived at Halinx on the 
23d nlt„ with Liverpool dates to Dec. 12th—being 
9 days later than advices by the City of Baltimore. 
Great Britain.— The steamer America, which 
left Liverpool on the 6th inst., and the arrival of 
which we have been expecting for a week past en¬ 
countered a furious storm off Cape Clear which 
swept her docks and so disabled her that she put 
hack to Liverpool where she arrived on the mom* 
iug of the lOtli. 
There has been -a succession of severe gales in 
the British channel, with numerous casualties. 
A deputation from Liverpool and London had 
waited upon Lord Clarendon, to ascertain what is 
meant by the British demonstration against New 
Grenada. 
Father Mathew died at Cork on the 9th ult. 
Richard Coliden has published another letter On 
the Mari tine laws. 
France.— A despatch from Bordeaux announces 
the arrival at that port of a vessel having on hoard 
fifteen persons rescued from the steamer Lyonnais. 
No other particulars are given. 
It is officially announced that the Congress of 
Paris will meet during the present month. 
Many marine disasters are reported in the Metli- 
tcrauean. 
Spain.— Advices from Madrid state that the opin¬ 
ion was strongly against the new loan, and the min¬ 
ister of linauce would probably resign. Malaga 
and Saragossa is still politically agitated, though 
there had been no open outbreak. 
Prussia.— -The King has presented a resolution 
of the Germanic Diet on the Neufchatel question 
to the great powers, inviting them in a Collective 
discussion with a view to her recognised rights. 
France and Austria have advised Prussia to abstain 
from military demonstrations during the pendency 
of this question, promising at the same time to 
support her views. 
Italy,— The Baltic carried the intelligence that 
an unsuccessful attempt had been made to assas¬ 
sinate the King nl Naples on the 8th inst. The 
announcements of the affair differ. The first an¬ 
nouncement said:—“At noon to-day there was a re¬ 
view, and while the troops was defiling, a soldier of 
the third battalion Of chasseurs rushed from the 
ranks and struck the King on the left side, knock¬ 
ing him down, when the soldier was seized by CoL 
Latour.” Another despatch says:—“The bayonet 
of the soldier struck the King on the right side 
above the waist.” A third despatch intimated that 
he was slightly wounded; and a fourth despatch

The pressure for money is abating. There is less demand, and 
a better supply. There is, however, more stringency felt among 
tiie ronntry banks, both of this State and New Kngland. (’ur-

Haiti has fallen pretty generally over the whole 
country. Not enough, however, has yet come to 
enable the miner to profit, materially by the ahnn- 
tlanee of wafer. The immediate effect has been 
very good to the farmers, and their stock aro now 
having fresh grass feed. The parched condition 
of the earth soaked in nearly all the moisture it 
received, and the miners are waiting impat iently 
tor further rains to satisfy their own immediate 
purposes. In the mountainous districts heavy tails 
of snow have taken place. 
Accounts from the different milling districts rep¬ 
resent the prospects of the miners for the coming 
winter us being excellent. F.ttovmous amounts of 
labor and money are being expeudod in the firm 
faith of adequate returns being received before long.
