COPENITAG&N, Nov. B.—To the many losses in the late
storm we fear we may add that of the Victoria steamer, pur-
chased in England of Mr. Limdt, for a week ago a piece of
the side of a steamer was driven on shore to the north of the
Ogger Canal, which is thought to be a piece of the Victoria,
as nothing has been heard of that steamer since it left Eng-
land on the 18th of last: month, and therefore it is believed
that it was totally lost in the North Sea, in the hurricane of
the 21st of last month.

BERLIN, Nov. 7.—ln answer to the second address of the
magistrates of Berlin to the King, directions have been given
by his Majesty to investigate officially the facts alleged by
the magistrates. The second address will not be published
till the investigation is ended, on which occasion the answer
which the King may be pleased to give will probably be
likewise ' published. The penetrating eye of the Monarch
may perhaps see much that may not seem desirable to many
persons.

MILITARY• DEFENCE OF CANADA.—We, under-
stand that active preparations are now being made for the
military defence of Canada. At Port Sarnia, a fort is to be
erected, by order of Lord Cathcart. Penetanguishine is to
be made a place of great military strength. Colonel Hol-
loway, of the Royal Engineers, and Captain Boxer, of the
Royal Navy, have visited Port Hope, with a view to the
selection of a site for a fort and other military defences at
that beautiful and important position. Colonel Ilolloway
designs three batteries on that part of the Port Hope Hills,
called Fort Orton ; to be erected in a crescent form for
protection of the harbour and security of the town. The
engineers are now at work, surveying the narrow isthmus
which divides the head waters of the Bay of Quinte from
Lake Ontario, at Presque Isle, with a view to the, construc-
tion of a canal at that point. At Kingston, the front of the
town, at present occupied by forwarders, as mercantile store-
houses, is to be pulled down, and a heavy battery erected in
their stead. Three martello towers, one on Cedar Island at
the east, and one on Stuart's Point at the west, and one on
the shoal in the bay, are designed for the strengthening of
Port Henry, and the more effectual security of the city and
harbour. In Lower Canada a military general order has
issaed, calling on all officers to report themselves to their
commanding officer, in the event of their wishing to retain
their commissions. We should deplore a war between the
two. countries, and hope it may yet be averted. But ear-
nestly as we should deprecate so great a calamity, we would
prefer even death to a dishonourable surrender, or the aban-
donment of justice and right. Give us peace by all means,
but let it be an honourable one.—Canada Statesman.
THE VINTAGE.—The most contradictory reports
of the vintage in the neighbourhood of Geneva have been
received. While from Wirtemberg but a middling wine is
expected as regards quality, and not very satisfactory in
quantity, accounts from the Pfalz represent the crop as
totally lost, but one-fourth of an average crop being ex-
pected in quantity, and in several places sourworm and rot
have quite destroyed the grapes. The price for middling
table wines has already risen from 150 to 200 fl. the piece, to
300 and 4001 ; and for best qualities 500 and GOO& is asked.
In the Ahr, on the other hand, the vintage exceeds all ex-
pectations; the quality is peculiarly good, and although the
quantity is not so great, it is yet much over that of last
year. Similar accounts have been received of the vintages
in other Rhenish provinces.—Rhine paper.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—The Lord Provost had
the honour of entertaining Lord John Russell to dinner, at his
house, on Thursday evening, when a 'limber of noblemen
and gentlemen were invited to be present.--Scotsman.
