Arrival Of the Steamer Canada.
SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Canada, with Liverpool dates
to the I'd Of FEBRUARY Zone week later than the
news by she previous stcamer) arrived at
Halifax on Sunday morning.
We regret that she brings no news whatever
of the missing American mail steamer Pacific,
which sailed from Liverpool on the sd Of Jan
uary, ten days before the Canada, and has
not been heard Of Although she may have
returned to England after the sailing Of the
Canada, or may have found refuge elsewhere
without being able 10 communicate with this
county on account Of her condition, we regard
it as fcarfulIy probable that more melan-
choly fate has befallen her
By this arrival we have the welcome intel
ligence Of the favorable progress Of the peace
negotiations. Dispatches received at Vienna
from Russia confirm the telegraphic statement
Oh the unconditional acceptance Of the peace
propositions by the Gar. The memorandum
enjoying the propositions had been signed at
vienna and sent TO Paris 1t was reported
tnat the Peace Congress will assemble at Paris
on the 18th of February, and that the whole
matter will be settled by the 18th. The sign
ing of preliminaries only awaited the arrival
of the Turkish plenipotentiary.
Baron Brunow and Count 0rlof are the
Russian plenipotcntiaries, Lord Clarendon
represents Great Britain; the MARQUIS
D'Azeglio, Sardinia; Count Buol, Austria:
M Walcwski, France; Dervish Pacha, Tur-
key.
It is asserted that Prussia refuses to agree
to the conditions exacted by the Allies pre-
liminary to her admission to the Peace Confer
ence, and that she will consequently be exelu-
ded from participating in IT,
The Speech Of the Queen Of Great Britain
at the opening Of Parliament is not of particu-
lar interest. 1t does not mention American
affairs
The London Morning Advertiser says that
Mr.. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon had an in
terview at the Foreign Office on Tuesday,
when very angry words passed between them
touching Central American affairs.

RELIEF OF THE POOR IN THE FIRST WARD
AT an adjourned meeting Of the citizens of the
First Ward, held on tho 18th inst, to hear the
reports of the committees appointed to collect
and distribute relief to the poor of the Ward,
1t was found that the sum of S648. IS had
been been collected for that purPose-out of which
$3.50 70 had been expended for fuel, SIS5. So
for groceries, and 1872 for clothing, &C.,
making total of $3.50, leaving S98 IS vet to
be expended in the several districts in propor-
ton to the wants Of each. It appeared that
nearly $50 families had been relieved Exer.
lions are yet making in furtherance Of this
praiseworthy object by continuing the services
of the distributing committees, who are au.
thOrized to receive contributions. The com
mittee are Robert Ricketts,, for the first dis
trict; Charles Sioussa, second John w Eas.
by, treasurer, third; Thomas p. Morgan,
fourth; W. Worth, fifth, and w. J. Herbert,
sixth. Notwithstanding tho relief thus af-
fOrded, the severity of the weather strongly
appeals to the sympathies of those who have
not yet contributed to this obje.t
HIGH WIND.-The chimney of an unoccu-
pied frame house, opposite the as Six Build
ings," on Pennsylvania avenue, was blown
down yesterday by the high wind prevailing,
which also snapped off dead branches, tore
awnings, removed signs, and played other
pranks.
We also learn that, about O'Clock D. m,
the wind blew over the derricks on the ton Of
the Washington Monument. No one was in
jured, and as the work is suspended, there
will be no delay caused by the freak of Old
Boreas.
SroP THIEF.-We have for some time past
been deprived Of our New Orleans and other
exchange papers, which disappear from the

who purloin these papers, or who obtainJthem
from the thieves, will get into trouble if found
out. Wherever they may be seen, depend
upon it they were stolen from the Office, and
the receiver is as bad as the thief.
