The report which prevailed late on Saturday, of an unfavourable
issue of Sir John Colborne, in the attack on Grand Brute, is entirely dis.
credited in the City this morning. Had there been any arrival of a
later date from Canada, we should have known it to a certaintr this
morning. The above originated in the arrival of the Philao.elphia
packet of the 20th ult.
Accounts from Liverpool state that a vessel has been telegraphed off'
Holyhead yesterday, No. 860, supposed to be the Virginia packet, from
New York, of the 26th ult., which is rather doubted in the City.

Accounts from St. Pctersburgh to the 3d inst. are:
still full of details respecting the fire at the Winter Palace.,
The Hermitage has been saved, and many jewels, books, p7.c.
tures, and other articles of value, were rescued from the Em-
press's apartment. The fire broke out at eight o'clock in the
evening of the 29th ult., and continued to burn with undimi-
nished violence for thirty hours. When it became evident
that the Palace could not be saved the Emperor gave orders
that every (ffurt should be made to preserve at least the Her-
ini:age. While the Palace was burning a fire broke out at
Wassili Ostrow, at the port of the galleys. The hereditary
Grand Duke immediately repaired to the spot, by order of the
Emperor, and the fire was soon extinguished by the exertions
of the Finland regiment of the guards.
