ARRIVAL Of THE CANADA.

HALIFAX, Feb. l6.--The steamer Ca
NADIA arrived this evening. bringing Liver
pool dates Of February 4th. The Andes.
for Boston, had put back. The City Of
Manchester sailed on the LIST, and the
Sarah Sands on the 3lst. The Baltic Ar
rived out on the Cd.
The ncws is very warEke. The Russian
Ambassador was about leaving London.
GENERAL NEWS.
Parliament met on the 3lst, and the
Queen S speech was delivered. She men
tons the Turkish difficulty in moderate
terms, and congratulates the country upon
the alliance with France. She also re-
commends an increase in the army aswar
threatens from hour to hour.
A reply had been given in writing to
the Cars inquiry respecting the fleets,
and the departure Of the Russian Minis
tiers from London and Paris, was hourly
expected. 1t is reported that the French
and English Ministers have been recalled
from st. Petersburg.
France will send $4,000 and England
10000 men to Turkey; England paying
half the total expenses.
The funds are quiet and not much de-
pressed. Every thing now depends on
the position that Russia will take.
1t is reported that Austria and Prussia
will cooperate with France and England
but this is doubted.

SAD FATE OF DANIEL TucKER.-Dan Tucker has
turned up (or been turned up) in the goodly city Of
New Orleans. On the 9th of March, Ammo Donini
1854, ne was discovered by the en,issaries of the
law at place called the New Basin, where, we re-
gret to say he had been lying drunk for three days
refusing to "get out of the way" he was lifted by
the strong arms of the law placed in single wheeled
carriage (vulgarly called wheel-barrow) and rolled
off to the calaboose. Here he spent the night, rumi
mating doubtless upon the words of his biographer-
"Old Dan Tucker he got drunk"-and regretting the
vanity of worldly pleasures. The next day he was
fined five dollars, and sentenced to pay his own
carriage; and the Crescent declares he is no longer
in the way.
