STILL LATER, FIVE F.M.

The cars have just arrived. There is nothing further from
Toronto. People are in arms on both sides of the river. The
ferry-boats are either entirely stopped, or all the passengers
strictly examined.

" Rochester, Saturday, Dec. 9.
" A rumour has just reached this city, that the steam-boat
Traveller (which was in the employ of the Colonial Govern-
ment) has been burned at Niagara. She was to have been
sent to Kingston on Thursday, as I learn ; but if she was
burnt, as a matter of course she did not go.
" It is further rumoured (and I have it from a source on which
I can rely) that Messrs. Bidwell, Rolph, and M‘Kenzie are
at Lewiston. The Governor has offered 5001. for the appre-
hension of the two former, and 1,000/. for the latter.
The Toronto affair was not so serious as at first reported.
But I have no time now for further particulars, as the mail is
waiting.—Yours, bec."

LATER FROM THE CANADAS.
By themail of this morning we have received the following:—

" Montreal, Saturday, Dec. 16.
'• The only additional intelligence to what appears in this
rnsrning's Herald, that I have heard, I subjoin.
" The Varennes arrived this morning with six prisoners on
board. Among the number are Pierre Amiot, M. P. P. for
Vercheres, and Dr. Alphonso Gauvin, of Montreal, for the
apprehension of whom one hundred pounds each was offered by
the Governor. All State prisoners have been transferred
from the civil to the military authorities, and those who
were in the new gaol have been removed to the old one.
The preliminaries for their trials are being completed,
after which they will all pa-s through the ordeal
of trial by martial law. I have not learned when the troops
will leave for the Grand Brule, but think it will be about
Monday. The accounts trom that neighbourhood represent
the rebels as fully determined to fight till the last for their,
as they say, independence. They are very numerous, well
armed, and are being well organised. I think there is little
doubt but that they will make a very fierce resistance, but I
have no doubt they will be defeated. We have no fear of the
general result. We think our volunteers are sufficient to put
down all rebellion. Had the troops been defeated at St.
Charles, I have not the least doubt but that the Canadians of
Montreal would have butchered all of British origin.
( From the Montreal Transcript of Dec. 9.)
On Thursday morning a party of the St. John's volunteers,
under the orders of Lieutenant Macdonald, brnight into town
three of the wretches who so wantonly and barbarously mur-
dered Chartrand. They had also six other prisoners, charged
with political offences, who were all safely lodged for military
custody, in the late House of Industry.
" Later in the day the John Bull steamer arrived from
Sorel, having on board a part of the troops which left Mon-
treal under the command of the Hon. Colonel Gore. They
brought up one prisoner, an old man of the name of Bourgeois,
who, if not assisting., ass at all events present, at the murder
of Lieutenant Weir. _ _

About half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon of thf, same d3y
all the state prisoners were delivered from the gaol into the
custody of the military guard, and marched into the
city. They were lodged in the late House of Industry
(oid gaol)•.
The rebels from St. Eustache are stated to have sawed
through the trnbers of one arch of the bridge built by s!r
Porteous, and communicAting from that disturbed district
with the Island of Montreal. No part of the bridge has been
