ARRIVAL OF THE CANADIAN,

A fearful tornado had passed over a portion of
the Canadian provinces, destroying fences, break-
ing trees, and unroofing barns and houses. The
effects were felt in and around Kemptville. In the
village of West Winchester, the storm-king per-
formed some strange antics, and logs of a large size
were carried several rods, and in some instances
split or otherwise broken; a large fat hog was
carried twenty rods, and then thrown so violently
on the ground as to tear out his entrails. The
house of Isaac; Evritt, in which were several
persons, was unroofed, and a little boy's skull
broken; several others of the inmates were also
more or less injured.

From Nova Scotia we learn that at Windsor
Mr. Howe was elected without contest, and in the
course of a speech he said, in reference to the rail-

way progress—

The whole road to Windsor will be open next spring,
except the section near Mount Uniacke, which, he said,
presents great difficulties in the way of extensive rock
cuttings, heavy fillings, &c. He was doubtful if this section
would be open by the Bth of June, but in the course of the
next summer the entire line would be completed. By
November next the line would be open to Shult's, while the
whole line to the eastward, now under contract as far as
Nelson's, would possibly be or ened timultaneously with the
Windsor branch.

The jury empannelled upon the Port Hope
tragedy, au affair of the mist awful and heart-
rending character, had agreed to the following
verdict :

We, the undersigned jurymen, emnannelled to enquire
how and by what means Thomas Henderson, deceased,
came by his death, on our oaths, do find that said deceased
came to his death by means of a bullet discharged from a
pistol in the hand of George Brogdin ; and we do further
find that said George Brogdin committed such under great
and justifiable provocation, and would express the strongest
reprobation of that course of licentiousness on the part of
the deceased, which produced such a fearful retaliation.

Our Montreal and Toronto files are totally devoid
of political information.

Oommercial affairs at Quebec were exeedingly
quiet. The timber trade is reported to be steady,
and according to the last returns of the supervisors
of cullers it appeared that the quantity of stores,
masts, bowsprits, and spars, measured and culled
to the 27th ult , was upwards of 5,200,000 more
than 1855. Of red pine the deficiency
was 2,400,000 ; of oak, 500,000 ; of elm,
upwards of 300,000 ; of ash, about 22,000; and
bass wood, 4,700. There was an increase
of butternut of 1,200. In Tamarac the increase was
363,000. Birch and maple showed a falling off of
31,000. There was a considerable increase in
masts, bowsprits, and spars.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST AN

ATTORNEY,

When the morning charges at the police court had been
disposed of yesterday, Mr. Holmes, the proprietor of the
Balaklava vaults, Waterloo-road, entered the box, and said
he had an application to make to his Worship. He
then went on to say—On last Wednesday week I had a
person charged in this court, who came into my house and
annoyed and threatened me. I then employed a person
named Goodier, who represents himself as an attorney, to
conduct the case for me. I paid him his fee on the occasion,
and he told me he would get the man bound over to keep the
peace towards me. The case was adjourned to the following
day, and, in the meantime, the man Goodier called on the
defendant, got a fee from him, and arranged with him, and
that I should not be present in court when the case came on,
alleging that he had arranged the matter with me. All
this time I thought Goodier to be a respectable
m an. lie did manage to keep me out of the court
when the case was called on, and the defendant was, of
course, discharged. What do you think this Goodier did,
sir ? He took more money than I had given him from the
other person, who is as great a blackguard as himself,
although he keeps a public-house. ( laugh.) The
moment I went home, the vagabond came in and annoyed
me worse than ever, and said, " Oh, your lOs to Goodier
was no good—you could not afford to give more, but I save
him £2, and done 3ou !" I think this was most rascally
conduct on the part of any man, not to mention on the
part of a fellow ca'ing himself an attorney, and I call on
your Worship to Here Mr. Goodier came into court
in an excited manner when Mr. Mansfield said : Here is
Mr. Goodier. M Goodier : Oh, yes, what's this all
about ? Mr. H& ,n You know very well what it
is about, sir. Yu, Mr. Goodier, are a disgrace
to your profession, and you should nct be
allowed into a court of j ustice—you ought to be expelled from
the court, sir. Mr. Mansfield : Ido not quite understand
what you want, Mr. Holmes. Mr. Holmes : Why, sir, I
employed this man, Goodier, to act as my attorney, and
paid him l Os; but after that he goes to the person against
whom 1 had the charge, and gets £2 from him, and
Mr. Goodier : Who gave me the £2 ? Mr. }Limes : You
know very well who gave it, sir, fur you got it, and I consi-
der it most disgraceful, and that you are the most rascally
—Mr. Mansfield : If you have a complaint to make
you have a right to speak, but not otherwise. If you have
any charge against Mr. Goodier for money, you can go to
the County Court for redress. Mr. Goodier : Yes, let him
go to the County Court, that's the place. Mr. Holme: I
wish to expose you for the most rascally piece of black-
guardism I ever heard of, and I trust by means of the press,
that my observations will go to the public. Mr. Mansfield :
That will do, sir. Mr. Holmes then retired, exclaiming
rascal," " scoundrel," and the like.

ALLSOP'S WAX-WORK EXHIBITION, TEUTONIC-HALT,
LIME-STREET, LIVERPOOL.—DOVE, THB MURDERER..—The
only correct likeness of this criminal is to be seen at the
above exhibition, and is placed by the side of Palmer. Both
these poisoners are full-length, and are acknowledged by all
to be perfect likenesses. They are surrounded by upwards
of 100 wax figures, large as life; together with 500 statues,
busts, casts of heads, &C.. &c. ; also a great number of
Stereoscopic and other views. The proprietor begs to state
that the likeness of Dove and Palmer are most positively
the only true ones taken. Palmer was modelled by Mr.
George Ewing, of London, during his trial at the Old
till ten, p.m . O
Bailey; and a sketch of Dove was taken by Mr. John
Storey, of York, and afterwards modelled expressly for Mr.
Allsop, by Mr. William Leland, of Liverpool. Open from

The Montreal S!«,ai m -ship Company's screw-
steamer Canadian, CA E,t. Ballantine, arrived here
last night. She sail 41 from Quebec at five o'clock,
a.m., on the morning of the 28th ult , having
been detained in consequence of the delay of
the'arrival of the Western mails, from the 27th.
She brings a heavy cargo and 112 passengers, a list
of whom we append, besides the usual mails from
the British North American provinces.
The political intelligence by this arrival is totally
devoid of interest or importance. Most parties
were looking forward to the assembling of the
Provincial Parliament, when ministees would be
obliged to come out with some detailed statement
of the views and principles which they intended to
advocate and adopt during the ensuing session.
Respecting the Grand Trunk Railway Company,
important news had been received at Toronto from
England, respecting that undertaking. Our
special correspondent there thus writes :
When the proposition of aid, offered by the Provincial
Parliament as passed at the last session, with the con-
ditions attached, was laid before the directors in Eng-
land, they unanimously resolved to reject it. They
considered the conditions imposed on them, of building
the roads in the Lower Province, as being absolutely
ruinous—a thing they could not think of. They prefer
rather to build the paying pori.ion of the road in Upper
Canada out of their nwu ri:sourees, and leaving the un-
p. oiltable Lower l;q:laih p .;•tinus untouched. It is a
goostion, however. w c, t.«ee they may not take the sense
of the parliament on the subject again in the next session.
This intelligence you may rely on as being positively
correct.
