Or ffa t.o Cheek Clear. — The Buffalo Express 
of the 9th itist., says that between nine an<] ten 
o’clock Saturday evening, the ice passed out of the 
Creek with a rush. Several vessels and canal boats 
were detached from their moorings, but without 
doing serious damage. 
A serious railroad accident occurred at Berlin 
on the evening of the 1st inst. About 6 o’clock 
the up freight train, which was due there on Sat¬ 
urday, ran over two cutters, containing in all five 
persona, causing the death of Mary Moyer, and 
severely injuring three others, viz: Esther Moyer, 
thigh broken; Moses Moyer, 3kull fractured and 
not expected to live; and Benjamiu Bowman, bad¬ 
ly bruised about the head, Bhoulder-bone broken, 
and hand badly hurt. The three Moyers were all 
of the family of Abraham Moyer, farmer, Beilin. 
The other escaped unhurt by jumping from the 
cutter. 
The annual returns show a very satisfactory in¬ 
crease in the trade of Toronto. The imports of 
1856 were £1,738,000—an augmentation of £337,000 
on 1855. It must be observed that the amouut re¬ 
ported does not indicate the full extent of the 
import trade. Large quantities of goods are still 
entered at Montreal, on account of the greater 
facilities offered at that port The statement of 
imports for the last six years shows that the 
amouut has been trebled during that period? The 
Custom House returns of exports for the year are 
accurate, so far as the articles seat to the United 
States are concerned. There is no official record 
in regard to those which are senteastward to Can¬ 
adian ports. It is now estimated that the whole 
exports of Toronto are a little over three millions 
of dollars. 
At a meeting of the Hamilton Board of Trade, 
on Monday, the 2d inst., it was resolved that a sur¬ 
vey should be made at the expense of the Board, 
with the view of deciding on the practicability of 
constructing a ship canal from the head of Lake 
Ontario to ihe waters of Lake Huron. The spirit 
of competition to secure the lion's share of the 
present and future great trade of the West is active. 
Like the trade uf the Indies, it enriches the State 
that carries and exchanges it. 
Arrival of the Baltic and Africa, 
The Baltic arrived at New York on the. 5th, and 
the Africa on the 6th inst. 
The Swiss question is considered settled, as the 
Neofcbatel prisoners have been liberated. 
The event of most interest is the trial of Vergt a, 
the assassin of the Arch-bishop ot' Faria. The 
trial is full of dramatic interest. Verges is con¬ 
demned. 
Lord Napier will probably leave for Washington 
in about three weeks. 
Lord Palmerston has issued a circular to the 
House of Commons, stating that business of great 
importance would be laid before the coming ses¬ 
sion of Parliament, and expressing au earnest 
hope that all the members will be in their places 
at the opening. 
Private advices from Shanghai to November 19, 
say there is a prospect that specie payments to 
that port may prove excessive, owing to the spe¬ 
cific shipments to that port, and the scarcity of 
produce. 
The British at Canton were strengthening their 
position, but showed a disposition to remain on 
the defensive, until they receive advices from 
England. Meanwhile reinforcements are under¬ 
stood to he sent for. 
The British ileet had taken possession of the 
pnrt-s of I infill ire and the Island ICarrack in the 
Persian Gulf. It was also reported that the Rus¬ 
sians had occupied Astricuu. 
Later intelligence from China is to the effect 
that the government of Canton continued obdu¬ 
rate — that ihe British had taken and destroyed the 
French folly tort, and the Chinese had set lire to 
the factories, aud that all the houses were de¬ 
stroyed. 
The Oriental and Mercantile Banks had been 
burned. 
It is reported that the shelling of Canton com¬ 
menced just before t,he departure of the mails. 
The Loudon Morning Herald announces that at 
a Cabinet Council held ou the 21st, the subject of 
the re-construction of the Cabinet was discussed, 
and that offers of another coalition were made 
some weeks ago. Among other changes, it is said 
thai. Gladstone will be replaced in the Exchequer. 
The merchants of the principal commercial 
cities of l'Tnnoo have appealed to the Emperor in 
behalf of French citizens, who suffered by the de¬ 
struction of Grey town, by the American frigate 
Cyane.

MONEY MATTERS. AT HOME AND ABROAD. 
New York Monet Market.— The IV. T. Pott ol the 6th, in 
reference to monetary transactions, says :—“ There is less de¬ 
mand for money, BDd discount rates are easier. Some six 
months' prime paper has been passed as low as percent.; 
but the range lsh@8>j to S per cent. Stock loans are also 
easier to raise at 7 per cent. The banks are notcallicg in loans, 
but are, on the contrary, willing to extend them. The Shoe and 
Leather Rank is the solitary exception , owing to its having to 
pay large sums for the city just now. Though tho custom re¬ 
ceipts arc large, there la no difficnlly In raising money to pay 
the duiicH on tho increasing quantity or goods now going into 
consumption. The exchanges through the Clearing-House to¬ 
day amount to $2)1,1(16,5111 81. aud the balances to 1,084,664 17. 
There is little doing in foreign exchauge. Sterling 1« firm at 
108,t£(3llOS?i'. but at any higher rate tho market is weak." 
San FttANfisro Money Market—T he totnl amount of trea¬

$51,607.431—of winch jot*,765.294 went to New York ; $.“, 666,285 
to England : $1,368,552 to China. In 1-850 the export amounted 
to $15,182,631. The value of incxcbuudiso expnrtnd in I,“2)6 was 
$t, 156,26.0, which is leas than in 1850, when the amount wns 
$11,646,066. Dortng 18-06 quicksilver to the extent of 15,683

Tub rain lias had its effects upon the VCestern 
rivers, and, at last accounts, they were rising rapid¬ 
ly with a good prospect of speedy resumption of 
navigation- Below Cairo all is clear on the Mis¬ 
sissippi, and there is no ice between Louisville and 
Smithland. The ice has give out at Portsmouth, 
ou the Ohio, and the probablities are that itis now 
free to Pittsburgh. Business will soon be active 
again in the river cities, and fuel will he abundant 
to individual and manufacturing wants. The 
movement of the ice down the Ohio river afforded 
a sceue of thrilling interest and excitement to the 
people of Cincinnati and Covington. This event 
occurred this year more than two weeks earlier 
than lust. The Cincinnati Gazette gives a descrip¬ 
tion of the occurrence on Saturday, the 7th inst. 
It says:—" Six steamboats, lying at their wharves, 
were wreckod, or very much damaged, by the mov¬ 
ing ice. The Gipsey, an Arkansas river boat, 
valued at $12,000, was wrecked. The A. W. Quar- 
rier, valued at SIS,000, with 100 tons of groceries 
on hoard for various firms, was amidst a gorge of 
ice, and likely to go down. Minor accidents hap¬ 
pened to quite a number of boats. The Gen. Pike 
was wrecked on the Indiana shore. On Friday 
afternoon, a dispatch from Louisville stated that 
tho icc was running fast, and several boats were in 
danger. Attempts to pass over from Covington 
on the ice, after it had be gun to move down stream, 
afforded much excitement. One lady was with 
difficulty saved from drowning, while crossing in a 
. 
Fears were entertained, aa to the safety of many 
steamers, at various points, both up and down the 
river. The J. W. Converse had been sunk at Tany 
Island, and the boat and cargo — both valuable — 
| are a total loss.

A Difficult Matter.— A Glasgow publishing 
house attempted to publish a work that should he 
a perfect speciment of typographical accuracy.— 
After having been carefully read by six experien¬ 
ced proof-readers, it was posted up in the hall of 
the University, and a reward of fifty pounds of¬ 
fered to any one who should detect an error.— 
Each page remained two weeks in this place; and 
yet, when the work was iasned, several errors were 
discovered, one of which was in the first line of 
the first page.

Revolution in Mexico.—A despatch from New 
Orleans dated Feb. 1st, state that papers have been 
received from Tampico to the 16th Jan., from 
which it appears that trade was entirely suspend¬ 
ed, and every one in expectation of the town be¬ 
ing devastated by the Revolutionists, headed by 
Garza. The latter, indeed, had already commenc¬ 
ed their depredations, by attacking the residence 
of the British Consul, aud taking therefrom near¬ 
ly a quarter of a million dollars that had been sent 
there for safety by a number of the merchants of 
Tampico. 
The people seemed powerless as regards aid, and 
appearances indicated that the Revolutionists would 
have every thing their own way. 
N. Y. Stats Medical Society. —This Society,

opinion of the Society, that the moral, sanitary

Convocation of the Provincial Parliament. 
—Tlie Governor-General of Canada lias issued his 
Proclamation summoning the Provincial Parlia¬ 
ment to meet at Toronto on the 26th of the present 
month. The most prominent measures which will 
be urged by tho Opposition aro representation 
from both the Upper and Lower Province in the 
ratio of their population, and anti-sectarian schools. 
There is some expectation that with these popular 
issues they will be able to defeat the Ministry.
