Letters from Trebizondo to the 26th Sept. state
that the cholera had passed the line of the Russian
quarantine on the Caspian, and was ravaging the dis-
tricts of Saigon and Leukeran. In the towns west of
the Caspian the mortality was great, from dysentery
end other diseases considered forerunners of the
Asiatic cholera. The inhabitants of Teheran have
been reduced from 80,000 to 60,000 by this dreadful
scourge, and the foreign ministers and their suites
were still residing at Mount Alburs, in the neigh-
bourhood of Schcmen, not dating to rcrisit the city.

From Odessa it is stated, that accounts from
Podolia and the Ukraine, report the wheat crop of
this year to be one of the most abundant that was
ever collected. From other parts of Russia the ac-
counts are also favourable, except from the Steppes,
or the dry land in the neighbourhood of Odessa, and
of the Crimea, and the vast plains to the north of the
sea of Azof : there the crop has proved a total
failure. The principal stock of wheat arriving was
from the ancient Polish provinces, where wet land and
a warm summer had proved specially advantageous
daring the present season; but it was coming in very
slowly, owing to the neglected state of the roads, and
then there was a difficulty in shipping it for Western
Europe, in consequence of a scarcity of tonnage and
of the consequent high freights.
Wll FAT, &e., DUTY Pave.—A parliamentary paper was

mary of the accounts given in the return, it appears that
the wheat delivered from the warehouse or vessel, duty free.
numbered 192,543 quarters and 7 bushels. Of the flour and
biscuit deposited, 193,370 cwt. 3 gni 27 lb. were fine wheat

CANADA.
The accounts from this province, brought by the
Hibernia, contain no intelligence of political importance
but from the tiles of papers which we have received. we
select such matters as may be likely to interest our readers.
THE LATE LORD METCALFE.—The news of Lord Met-
calfe's death will he received by that lamented nobleman's nu-
merous friends and admirers in Canada with mingled feelings of
grief and satisfaction—of grief fur the loss of one whom they
loved and esteemed, and of satisfaction that he is at last
relieved from his suffering. His life has, on the whole, been
a fortunate, and, we doubt not, a happy one ; successful in
all his undertakings; generally honoured, and even revered,
wherever he was known ; the feeble voices of the few persona
who really thought harshly of him in this country—for in no
other bad he any enemies—will be lost in the acclamations of
the tens of thousands who blessed his name while living,
and who will cherish his memory now that he is dead.
Peace be with him ! He has fought the good fight ; he has
finished his course; and he, undoubtedly, is now in the
enjoyment of the rewards reserved for those who walk
humbly before their Maker and do good to their fellow-men.
—Montreal Times, Oct. 3.1
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DUNDAS.—We have received an
extra from the Dmilas Warder giving an account of a des
atructive fire which occurred in that town on Sunday morn-
ing, consuming the foundry establishment of J. Oartshore
and Co. The fire continued to rage for about two hours.
The loss is roughly estimated at from 6,000/. to 7,0001., only
1,000 of which is covered (in the Mutual office) by in-
surance. The loss to many of tho workmen is also heavy,
several chests of tools, varying in value from 101. to 251.,
being destroyed ; one person lost property to the amount of
123/. The destruction of this establishment will be severely
felt ; it has thrown a gloom over all, each man feeling that
he sustains a portion of the demurer, and, indeed, this is
strictly the fact, so completely identified was the foundry
with the prosperity of the town. The books arc all de-
stroyed, and upwards of 100 men thrown out of employ-
ment.—Mmareal Gazette, Oct. 9.
DARING HIGHWAY ROIIREIM—One of the boldest acts
of highway robbery of which we ever recollect hearing,
took place on Thursday afternoon, at the Cott": St. Catherine.
Mr. Evans, a gentleman of this city, in company with a lady,
was returning from a drive round the Mountain, when sud-
denly two men rushed across the road, and seized the horse's
reins. Both were armed with pistols, and one of them re-
mained standing at the horse's head, while the other ad-
vanced to the vehicle, and, presenting his pistol, demanded
money. Mr. Evans thought to deter the man from his pur-
pose, and told him he was in a great hurry. But the request
was reiterated,with a threat of taking life. Mr. Evans said he
had no money, upon which the fellow at the horse's head
called to the ruffian, " shoot him." Things were now get-
ting serious. The lady was screaming with terror, and Mr.
Evans thought it would be well to purchase compliance by
giving them all the money he had, viz., a four dollar bill
and a trente sous : he had also a penknife in his pocket,
which he handed over with the money. Instead, however,
of being satisfied, the robbers demanded his watch ; but Mr.
Evans refused to comply. He seized the pistol and pushed it
on one side, and it went off just behind the gig. He then
jumped off and collared the ruffian, upon which the man at
the horse's head ran towards him, and fired his pistol
directly across Mr. Evans's face, but failed to injure him.
Ile then seized a stone and struck Mr. Evans on the
back of the head, giving him a severe cut ; and
on the men observing a person standing by the horse's
head, they made off. Every effort is being made to discover
the scoundrels, and it is to be hoped that the police will suc-
ceed in taking them into custody. Two individue's answer-
ing their description were seen by two gentl:men who were
riding round the mountain about the same hour. They ap-
peared to be concealing themselves in the wood. The men
were evidently Irishmen, and spoke with a strong brogue.

Tux WEATUER.—The first frost at Quebec this season
o mrred on the 3rd inst. Yesterday morning there was ice
t standing water about an eighth of an inch in thickness.
Vegetation is now checked for its months to come at lend.
It is stated, that since the rains the potatoes not t'.ken up
are attacked by the rot; it is also said, that it has appealed
among those in cellars and root houses.—Quebec Gazette,
Oct. 5.
GOOD NEWS roll ENGLAND.—One of the Montreal'
papers says: "Mr. Creickshrolc.s, who came out in the
Cambria, is said not to be the well-know,[ eiricaturist."
THE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC TELEORAPIL—IC hag been in
contemplation to connect Montreal with the seaboard, by
means of an electric telegraph, to be carried across the St.
Lawrence, and from thence to Whitehall on Lake Cham-
plain, from which place it would be extended to Saratoga, t a
unite with the line already in operation there, communicat-
ing with the Atlantic cities of the United States. It has
also been proposed to connect Montreal with Quebec and
Halifax byel:ctro-magnetic telegraph, so es to insure the
earliest information, on the arrival of the mail steamers at
Halifax, from England. It has further been suggested to
unite Kingston and Oswego, by electromagnetic telegraph,
the line being already in successful operation between
the latter place and New York; and moreover, that
Hamilton, Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal, should be
united by a line passing along the Lake-shore and the St.
Lawrence-road.
