CoLLIsroN-On Sunday night last the pro-
peller Falcon, belonging to j. L. Hurd & Co.,
of this city, was run, into between Port Col
bourn and Mohawk Island by the schooner G..
Reeve. The schooner struck the propeller
amidships cutting an ugly hole about four feet
in with in her side, from her deck to about two
feet below her water line. A large portion of
her cargo, about $4,000 worth, consisting of
wheat and about thirty tons of smelted copper
was thrown overheard, and by this means the
vessel was careened over to oneside sufficiently
to get her damaged portion out of water. She
was then run into Port Colbourn. 1t is great
wonder that the Falcon was not Immediately
sunk, as she was very heavily laden.-Detroit

NEW L Ohh, OCC. 1OCf.
That portion of the Presidents Message
giving rise to the most heated discussion, Is
his defence of the burning Of Greytown.
cannot conceive on what good grounds
doubts can exist as to the propriety of the
action of the Government. 1t was sim
pie question of destroying a hornets nest
When the farmer finds such an institution
in his way and he cannot pillow round ii
without getting his horses stung and his
own eyes bunged up, he generally takes
bundle of straw and sets fire to the whole
concern. Greytown was a hornets nest
without any sting bee at that, and there
was no way of getting round the plague
spot. The difficulty is not in blowing up
Greytown, but in not blowing up few
more places. You will not perhaps favor
this logic, but then you and your readers
will know that you are not responsible fol-
it more than you may be for an immense
amount of other news matter supplied. 1t
is of course impossible to convey news to
you in advance of the telegraph, and the
person who write these letters must be
something else besides machine
This explanation is considered to be due to
you, your readers and yourselves, and it is
to be hoped, will always be borne in mind,
when matter is found in this correspondence
to which you and your readers cannot
wholly subscribe, resting all the while as
sured that we will not wantonly offend the
delicacy of any one.
Another defalcatiOn is detected in the Mar
ket Bank, and among other failures is that Of
Mr.. Judson, proprietor of the New-York Ho-
tel and the Brevoort House, and formerly own
er of Judson's Hotel, lately consumed by fire,
near Trinity church on Broadway.
The European news is unimportant, except
in details, though from all which can be gath
cred, we may expect soon to hear Of a most
desperate assault and defence or sudden re-
treat. More than 10000 men have deposited
their bones to bleach near the shores of the
Pruth and Crimea already; and within the
next month that number will be duplicated, in
all probability. The allies are receiving rein
forcements at the rate of 1000 per day, and
wooden barracks for a winters campaign
Consols have stifened, and the money market
easier both in London and Paris.
From private source we learn that the sup
ply of green teas, owing to the Chinese revo-
luton, is going to be very limited, and the
price of teas will probably rise speedily.
The weather is now very cold, with slight
fall of snow.

Sight exchange on New York has been
steady and firm for the past few days at l

taking into consideration the short crops of
Wheat, Corn, and Hogs, I should not be
surprised to see sight checks 60 as high as

the same as for exchange.

CanrObert's official report =" 1t was % .ided
by the cOmmanders-in-chieft that the fire should
commence everywhere the next morning at
half past six, on signal of three shells, fired
one after the other from the French battery
No. 3 !; that the ships of the line of the two
fleets should take up position at the same
moment, and open their fire against the quar-
antine fort and the southern part of the town
and of the port. Every arrangement was
made to prevent any event from taking place
either in the town or outside, which should
find us unprovided. The men employed on the
works are to take up arms at the opening of
the fire, and to be ready to act if called on ;
the corps OF observation is to double its guards
and to be on the alert; and the cavalry is to
be ready to bride at moments notice
"On the 18th, at half past six A. NJ, the
fire opened simultaneously, from all the French
and, English batteries, So pieces on the side of
the French, and % on the side of the English,
in oil l26 but the fleets were not able to take
up their position. This fire was returned by
ESQ Russian cannon. Here for three hours
was terrific cannonade from about 400 guns,
at half past ten, after French magazine blew
up, the French ceased their fire. 1t was ST.
fenced by the Russians The FIRE of the Eng
lish continued without any marked advantage
or disadvantage. At l o'clock, the feet took
up its station and commenced its fire on the
force and the town. The whole theatre of the
action was enveloped in so thick smoke that
it was impossible to judge of its results. At
night the fire ceased on every side, and the
ships returned to their anchors"
