ADDITIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
BY THE CANADA

We yesterday published brief telegraphic
dispatch, giving few of the items from Eu-
rope, brought by the steamer Canada, which
arrived at Halifax yesterday morning, and are
now enabled to furnish additional intelligence {:
The Russian feet at Sweaborg was not de-
stroyed, but the damage done the place was
most disastrous. An immense conflagration
was caused by the bombardment, which ragged
for forty five hours, destroying storehouses,
magazines, arsenals, dc. The various powder
magazines in the place blew up, together with
other military stores, projectiles, dc.
The dispatches of the French and English
Admirals, do not say any thing about the Rus
sian ships at Sweaborg. The allies lost no
lives in the engagement, and only two officers
and thirty men belonging to the English feet
were wounded. The French escaped with
about the same number Of wounded. Swea-
borg, however, did not surrender, notwith-
standing the terrible blow the allies claim to
have inflicted upon it, =
THE CRIMEA. - e7A
Very important news from the Crimea had
been received at London. Early on the NOR
ming Of the 10th the Russian army under Gen.
Liprandi attacked the line of the Allies on
the Tchernaya. The Russians were &c, 600
strong, and the battle lasted for three hours,
proving most sanguinary contest. The Sar.
dinians fought most bravely with the Allies,
and repealed the Russians with terrible loss.

The sad intelligence which reached US this
morning from the scene of the railroad disas.
ter, near Burlington, informing us that Cap
tain Boyce, of the United States Coast Survey,
and his wife we're among the killed, and his
two daughters among the wounded, has cast a
gloom over our entire city. Captain Boyce
was one of our most useful and benevolent
citizens, was one of the firm of Boyce Tay-
Tor, and was universally respected by all who
knew him. His loss will truly be q serious
one to our city.
Up to ths present time no period has been
fixed for the election to fill the vacancy in our
Board Of Common Council. Cur own impress
sion is, that the object of the delay is for the
purpose of securing, if possible, two objects,
which We have heretofore limited at We
think, however, we may address to those who
cause the delay the language of the old revo-
lutionary General, "Yop no catch asleep O
weasel" Our citizens are wide awake and
well posted and guarded to be surrounded or
taken by surprise again.
Edward 5. Wright. auctioneer, sold the other
day a lot fronting AZ feet on w alter street, and
running back to the channel of the river, to
DR.. W. Il. Grimes for $2,640. This same prop.
erty was sold some two or three years since
for 81 100.
We regret exceedingly to be compelled to
request some Of the subscribers to the Star in
our city to be more prompt in paying their
subscriptions. The publisher expects the agent
to be prompt in his payments, and the only
way for him to do so is for subscribers to be
prompt in meeting their subscriptions when
called upon.
In our notice, few days since, of the va
rious milling establishments in and contiguous
TO our city, we Internationally omitted that of
Messrs. Berry White. These gentlemen are
generally among the foremost in turning out
an article Of -four that would do no discredit
to any market or inspectors auger-no, not
even to that of old George or his very efficient
assistant Clabaugh.

half street at q late hour hallooing for the

something dreadful had occurred, stopped

replied by stunning outcry Of watch and
turning to his questioner told him he had becn
badly beaten on Maryland avenue, and he
the watch to take the villains In charge. The
gentleman suspicioning that the stranger was
contending with the man-with- the poker,'
directed him to the corner when the guards
usually stop; but unluckily they had just left
to inspect another part Of their beat. 1t is
very unpleasant for any one to manage man
in such condition. And though the guards
would have performed their duty, they dislike
the job as much as other people.
