I seems that an order of some sort from tl government (whether from the Privy Council or Seer ry of State for the Colonies, does not appear) has come nut from England, directing the seizure of letlers sent to Foreign parts, if suapected of being intended for Russia: and, it is asserted, that, two days after the coming out pf the order, # letter for the Emperor of Russia was ac ually intercepted, by the authorities in the Quebec Post Dffice, subjected to the deliberations of the Council and She opinions of the law officers, who expressed the opinion hat the contents amounted to high treason.

Anticipated Trouble About the Liquor Law In Michigan, A Port Huron correspondent of the Detroit Tribune | writes as follows:— We are having rather sovere times here in enforcing the Maine li way of reprisal, are fring the town—and property to the amount of $30,000 was last week consumed by fires set by these murderous incendiaries. Not content with endea- | voring (o burn up the buildings, they endeavored to cut | off all egress from them by fastening the doors, so that | the clerks could not get out. At one establishment three men barely escaped with their lives by means of a bed- cord fastened to the window sash in the third story from | Rev. Mr. Wastell had two sons that escaped of them time to take with | m a particle of clothing, and one of the boys—the youngest—waa so far gone that the others had to put nim ont of the window before he could help himself, and | their hands, owing to the smallooss of the rope, were dreadfully cut. ‘They made preparation to fire the other part of tho | town; placed there shavings and matchos ignited to- gether; but owing to a little haste on account of the ap- | proach of the watch, who had been stationed for that purpose, it did not go off. Suspicions attach to two men | who have been imprisoned in the county jail on account of the violation of this law. and on account of which im- | prisonment the jail was burnt. They had several as- | nistanta; but, as yet, though many witnesses have been examined, no evidence has been elicited that throws any light upon this part of the transaction—that is, as to who | are participants in the outrage. | ‘These two men and eight or ten others are under ar- | rest, and have been undergoing an examination since | last'Thursday. It is the firm determination of the law- abiding portion of this community that in case sufficient evidence shall not be adduced to bind over these men in bonds so heavy as to deprive thom of thoir liberty, that | they (the people) will go back to first principles, and by of securing ‘their own lives, deprive these men of | heads. It there should be another building burnt, € the rum-sclling | portion of the community, by way of rescue or revenge, | these men would lore their heads in toss than fifteea | minutes.

[From the Florence Coane Gazotte, March ee It becomes our painful duty to announes that the Florence Landing was visited this morning with a de- structive tornado, which destroyed much valuable pro- perty. ‘The Florence bridge—that magnificent super- structure which spanned the ‘Tennessee river, the pride | and ornament of our town—was blown down, with the | exception of two spans, and washed off. The briige cost f peaceful emigrants, without | one hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars, and was insured only against fire, the company being unable to eftect an insurance against wind. This heavy loss falls principally upon five persons—James Irvine, Janes H. Weakly, John Simpson, Robert M. Patton and Marin Harkins. The loss will be heavy upon these gentlemon; but it will not affect them materially, as either of them is amply able to meet the liabilities of the company. Mr. Farmer, the keeper of the bridge, waa in the office at the time of ‘the occurrence, and he gives & most graphic do- ‘The office was much damaged, but Mr. Farmer sustained no injury. Fortu- nately no one was on the bridge at the time. A negro had just crossed, and the stage was about crossing, when the bridge was blown to atome. Nearly every house at the landing is destroyed. The large new brick warehouse just built by Kirkman & Rice was levelled with the grounil, and is now nothing but a huge mass of ruins, ‘The large framed warehouse used by them for storing cotton was also completoly de- siroyed, and mnch of the lumber is blown near half a rile. We presume the loss of Kirkman & Rice is about The commodions warehouse belonging to C. Gookin is also in ruins, and as it was nearly full of goods, they are of course much damaged.

(From the Galt (Canada West) Reporter. Since the period of the great fire in Main street, in this village, no such calamity bas befallen us os that which occurred yesterday, in the destruction of both bridges over the Grand river in this town, and a mass of other | property throughout the whole sweep of that river, from | ridgeport to its discharge into the lake. | ‘The river has ben frozen this season to a great, but | not a very alarming extent. But on Tucsday last, owing to the extreme warmth of the weather and a partial rise in the river, the ico on the upper, parts bocam> Lvosened from the banks, and became huddled up in immense piles against every obstruction, and of course more particu- larly against during the night, and the ice to accumulate between Galt and Carlisle, and on Wednesday, about noon, the downward tendency of the unwieldly materials received 8 violent impetus by the destruction of a bridge over the Grand river near port, belonging to the Grand ‘Trunk Railwa to break up and tumble over the dam. It came away at first in small and broken up p’eces, and gave rise to no great alarm, Every second however increased the danger, for in half an hour the river had risen above four feet—the velocity of the water had fearfully increas- ed—and huge pieces of ice, of inconcolvable weight, began to topple over the dam, and crash up against the Ners of Mr. Dickson’ bridge. The danger now became imminent; and at a quarter to eleven o'clock all fears were realized by a whole avalanche of ice, impelled by some prodigious trees, a fierce wind and an irresistible torrent behind, crushing up against the western pier of the bridge, and carrying it off us casily asa child handles ita doll. ‘The noble bridge between Main strect and Queen square has, up to this time, proudly maintained its standing, though sorely beset by huge bodies of ice, which, now that the upper bridge has been removed, come down with vastly increased impetus. Meantime, howevor, the broken portion of the upper bridge, with all its huge tim- bers yet firmly knit together, came wending its way toward the lower bridge, impelled by a fierce torrent, and from its great size, manifestly rushing on the destruc- tion of its fellow. For a moment, however, this destruc- tion seemed to be avoidable. ¢oming broadside on, it suddenly turned and presented its narrow end to the centre of the most westerly arch. A considerable por- tion passed through without injury, when suddenly tho | upper fence of the broken bridge struck the beams of the noble and timbers, and fences gave way. y ‘The loss will to $20,000, and the loss of business consequent on the interruption of trade will be no trifle.

It was alleged that in February, 1853, the captain of the bark Giaour, owned by plaintidls, applied to the defendants to obtain's char. ter for the vessel.

Dr. Sherman, the defendant, was engaged formerly in the patent medicine business, and the manu- facture of ‘‘Sherman’s Lozenges,’’ but baving failed in business, took the benefit of the bankrupt law, in 1841. | ‘The plaintiff’s counsel, Messra, H.

Acommunication was received from Justice Stuart, stating that the law in regard to vagrancy permitted a acistrate in no case to commit a vagrant to the Keeper | o he City Prison. The keeper of the Black Maria, in collecting prisoners, frequently found it necessary to set down committed vagrants in the yard of the Tombs, when pettifogeing lawyers hunted among them, and when | aaubject could be found who could raise a few shillings, a-writ of habeas corpus was obtained, and the release of the vagrant demanded, upon the plea that the keeper of the City Prison Lad no right to detain him. Justice Stuart said that in this way many of the worst vagrants he committed were allowed to escape. He called upon the Board of Governors for a remedy. | _ ‘The communication was referred City Prisons to report. *. | 1 other communications were raceived from the various public institutions, recommending the discharge of various parties who were committed a vagrants. These communications were received, and the parties discharged. RESOLUTIONS.

He supported this reso- lation by an eloquent and animated specch. He said he | thonght it outrageous that the youth of this island should be brought in contact with the convicts on Black- well’s Island, who had no bustoess, or were of no use in the sewing departinent. These convicts occupied a great | deol of sleeping room, crowding the children into swall coms, and they ought to be got rid of and sent where they belong. He did not wich te influence the Board, but he wished to record his votein favor of abolishing this department.

It was equally applicable to tomatoes.

M. ‘There was a vory buoyant stock market this morning, at the ist board, with quite an increase in the amount ‘bftransactions. There were number of cash buyers in the street, pro’ ably bears taking in their shorts in anticipation of o more active demand and better prices, at no distant day. It looks now as though we were upon the eve of another speculative excitement, and those who have properly investigated the causes of the recent decline will probably be among the first to take hold. At the first board to-day Illinois Central Bonds advanced 5 per cent; New York Central Bonds, ‘4g; Canton Company, 4; Florence and Keyport, 3; Nicaragua Transit, 3; Penn- aylvania Coal, 14; Cumberland Coal, 34; Parker Vein, 44; New York Central Railroad, %; Erie Railroad, 34; Read- | ing Railroad, 1; Michigan Central Railroad, 4. It will be sect by this that the improvement has been protty gen- eral, and that the tone of the market is indicative of permanent reaction. The favorable returns made by the banks for the week ending the 18th instant has, no doubt, been partially the cause of the sudden change in the course of prices; but the recent depreciation in the mar- ket value of the leading fancies, has been of itself suffi- cient to attract the attention of a new class of buyers, and it undoubtedly has, to some extent. The movement, therefore, is a legitimate one, and we have confidence in it. Florence and Keyport is steadily moving upwards, Wo believe upon a solid basis. The prospect of Keyport becoming a great railroad centre has created an active demand for the stock, and those who hold are by no means disposed to sell. At the second board to-day the market was frm at prices current in the morning, with a moderate demand for stock on time, principally buyers?’ option. Mining stocks were active, and sold toa much greater extent than usual. It is our impression that operators for & rise will soon have control of the,market. A decided improvement was manifest at the Mining Board this morning. Lehigh has again reached 314. Poto- mac is looking up though still % below the point it reached ten days ago. Rutherford has improved %. North Carolina sold freely. at 8% and 4. We understand the news from the mines has induced several large holders to offer their stock in the market. The bids were, for Cum- berland, 8234; for Ulster, 154; for Potomac, 34; for Hi- waasce, 634 ; for Boston and Pittsburg, 140 ; for Copper Falls, 68,; for Phenix Copper, 8; for Windsor, 4% ; for Flint Steel, 334; efor Fulton, 154; for Mineral, 34; for Al- gomah, 4; for Gardiner Gold, 24 ; for Phenix Gold, 5 ; for McCullock, 73; ; for Conrad Hill, 70c., and for Gold | Hill, 3%. One of the trustees of the Gardiner Gold mine reports | that he has recently made a fresh examination of the | property, and finds that the whole quarts range is richly | auriferous. For a distance of upwards of two miles, he | found gold everywhere by panning the soft decomposed | matter; and in taking the results of these experiments as basis for calculotion, he finds that this decomposed matter would give the enormous yield of $200 to the ton. | If these results are verified by the actual workings, the Gardiner company will be more fortunate tham most | Southern mining companies. a We have scen a piece of gold-bearing quarts from the | Wyckoff mine, of most extraordinary richness. It is as | fine a specimen as any that we have seen from California. | | | A few barrels such stuff would do well.

But the great majority, wo | fecr, which start with an enormous capital and expen- sive machinery, on the strength of a few promising sur- face indications, are destined to end in ruin to the stock- | holders, and no little disgrace to those directly instru- mental in introducing them tothe public. ‘They injure the interests of mining throughout the country, and | damage the character of sound enterprises of the same | nature.
