Distressing Intelligence From Canada.
We arc indebted to Captain Sherman for
late files Of Montreal and Quebeck papers,
from which we copy the follwing mclan-
choly accounts:
From the Montreal Herald oCMay 20M.
/, is reported in town that most disres-
sing accident occurred at the Cedars* on
Monday evening, in consequence Of a Sc
we're gale, during which number ofrafts
were destroyed, and the rumor is thar a.
bout fifty lives have been lost. We have
not heard The particulars, and hope lha, the
intelligence received in Town has been ex-
agserated. From ali that we can learn,
there is no doubt but that serious loss oil
property and human life has been ascer-
taincd, but we fervently trust that it will
prove to be less than we have stated.
.The Cedars rapids are fifty miles above
Mo ntreal.
From the Quebec Gazette of May 10.
The accident in Champlain- street, on
Monday, the l7lh inst, has. proved more
disastrous than we represented it 10 be a,
the lime. The following list of persons
known 10 have been in the houses at the
time Of The calamity has been furnished by
thu city clerk, and we fear it is yet incom-
plete.

two children, dead; Jane Crawford and
Ellen Reid, dead; Miss Williams and sis

TALLAHASSEE. May 2I.


Indian Neos.--On Thursday last, 18th
inst, Mr.. Thomas Livingston, Ia purtner
or clerk of MIR, Newsome, of Jefferson
County, as appeared from papers found
near his body,) was murdered about TWO
miles and half east of the Ocila Ferry,
on the ST. Augustine road, at or near The
river Styx. His body was discovered by
Maj. Wilson, Sd Infantry, who was re-
turning with an escort from Fort Gambe
to Fort Pleasant. He appeared 10 have
been shot through the left breast. His
body was lying in the road--his clothing
had been taken off, and his eyes plucked
out. His horse was found few hundred
yards of, lying dead. Maj. Wilson im :.
medately despatched party 10 inter The
body, and others from Forts Pleasant and
Gamble, in pursuit Of The Indians, who, in
all human probability, have committed
this act.
A company Of fine looking men, under
the command of Captain Henry, passed
through this place last week, and have ia
ken their position in Gadsden County, near
the plantation of Mr.. Yorge, where we
presume they will remain during the sum-
mcr. Some stock was killed few weeks
since in that vicinnily, by the Indians. We
believe the officers of The army are dispo.
scd to do every thing in their power for the
safety and protection Of The frontiers; and
the praiseworthy zeal of Governor Call, as
displayed throughout this unhappy war, is
an ample guarantee rhathe will leave moth
Ing undone that can be done for the securi-
tv of our citizens.-Sentinel.

on The arrival Of the police, one of his sons

apparently lifeless in the kitchen, with sew

Bank Case.-We copy the following
from the Pennsylvanian:
THE suit Of Kuhn VS.. The Bank oil the
United States was tried yesterday before
Judge Stroud in the District Court. The
plaintiff claimed the amount Of a deposile
with twelve per cent. interest from the
lime of its demand and failure Of payment
in specie.
"Thc question involved was, whether
the Bank by making an entry in adePosi-
tors Book that adepositis is to be paid in cur
rent bank notes, current bank funds, or
any entry of similar kind, can avoid its
liability to pay in specie. Judge Stroud
decided that the Bank had no right to re-
ceive deposles to he paid otherwise than
in specie, and that such conditions annex
ed wero void; he therefore directed the
jury to 6ud for the plaintiff, with II per
cent. interest from the time that specie was
demanded and refused.

the decline from the highest point ten or twelve
duys ago, ] a pei lb. The news reached us by
last evenings mail, and being considered ofan
unfavorable character, operations have ceased
almost altogether for the present, and it is like
ly that further decline must be submitted TO
ere buyers can be induced 10 take hold again.
In the mean time our Factors, whose stocks for

The Murderers.-Yesterday the three

and burning on the night of the 18th ult.
were brought into the Criminal Court,
Judge Bowlin presiding, and were several
ly arraisned.
Madison stands Indicted for the murder
ofMr. Baker, and Seward and Warrick as
accessories. To the question Of guilty, or
not guilty, each one answered distinctly,
not gully. Warrick added, II assure you
am not guilty."
Another indictment was read, in which
Brown was indicted for the murder of Wea-
yer, and the three accessories. Upon this
the three were also arraigned.
To the question from the Court whether
they were able to employ counsel, Madi-
son replied that he was slave and could
not control his master, but he expected he
would protect him. Warrick and Seward
manifested good deal ofapprehension and
some contrition; but Mudison evinces no
fear. Throughout he wore the same bra
zen front, aud apparent Indifference. Tie
manifested disposition 10 make speech
TO show his innocence, and stated that he
had heard at Memphis that two colored
men had been arrested, but the Court stop
ped him.
The Judge assigned Mr.. Geyer for the
defence of Madison, Mr.. Gamble for The de-
fence of Seward, aud Mr.. Spaldiug for the

ed. Madison was taken before the Grand
