but at the instance of Mr.Wood, Insurance agent for the \u201cEquitable,\u201d the case is being investigated before Mr.Ooursol.The shop contained a fair stock, and wag insured in the \"Equitable\u201d for $5,000.\t(J A Carter of a Legal Term.\u2014A pjlineman arrested a carter yesterday morning in Great St.James Street and, jumping into the vehicle, desired the owner to drive to the Police Station.The carter told the policeman that he, the policeman, had a right to make the arrest, but not to compel its subject to drive them both to the Station House.Custom had certainly long sanctioned the practice of doing so; but the carter wag not to be ruled by precedents, and the policeman, iherefore, had to dismount and lead the horse, whilst the offending driver sat back in grim triumph.Report of the Chief cf Police.\u2014The important annual statement of the Chief of Police will shortly be published.We give a few gleanings therefrom, which will, to a slight extent, give an idea of the whole.First then, 800 more prisoners have been brought before the Recorder during the past year than in the year peeceding.The increase has, however, been in women,\u2014 doubtless from amongst the ranks of prostitution \u2014which have known an augmentation in number from 563 last year to 705 this.The number of houses of iil-fame has also increased during the same period from 100 tolls.There are in the city 14 less licensed taverns and 10 more unlicensed ones.The amount of fines in the Recorder\u2019s Court shows an increase of $300.The revenue from carters' licenses has exceeded by $367, but there has been a decrease of about 150 in the number of trucks, on account it may be persumed, of the Grand Trunk monopoly cf cartage.There has concurrently with this failing off in the number of trucks, been an increase in the class of merchants, Manufacturers, and traders\u2019 veicies.Recorder\u2019s Court.\u2014The number of prisoners yesterday was thirteen.None of the cases were worth recordiag.Polio» Court.\u2014One Catherine Williamson, St.George street, a servant, for stealiog a small sleigh, was sent to jail for fifxen days at hard labor.A youth of 15 years, named Walmsley, residing in Papineau Road, was brought up charged wiih obtaining money under false pretences.He was remanded for farther examination.on moneys that he loaned to the churches, in the name of Bishop Timon ;

that Claffy frequently intimated to his wife and others, be fore his death, that the will was exacted from him, and he did not regard it as of any consequence ; that he several times told Mrs.Claffy to burn it, and that she did barn it in his presence on the night of his death.These are the promi-nest facts, and the results of it are of rare itneres as affecting the temporalities of the chnreh ; it being perhaps the first.casein|ihisjState in which a Bishop has brought a auit against a widow who is a member of his church to get into his ow-hands the property of the deceased husband by proving that she fraudulently destroyed the will so bequeathing it.Prime Mess, 15,00® C0EKESPOJ9DJSHCE.MESSRS.REDPATE\u2019S SUGAR REFINERY, To theEdtor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014In the annual review of tbe Montreal Grocery Market, in your paper of this date, repeated references are made to our business.We beg the favor of your inserting the following notice of them.We regret that we have not the approval of the writer and despair of being able to meet all HOCHELAGA LIGHT INFANTRY.This battalion paraded at the City Hall on Friday evening at eight o\u2019clock.When the following Brigade and Regimental Orders were '\" '^ *>ofo*r° til° w^gïmont, formally placing Liout.Ool.Hawkes in command ;\u2014 ( Militia Brigade Office, ( Montreal, Jan.12th, 1865.Brigade Order.In accordance with the General Order of His Excellency the Oommander-in-Ohief,dated Head-Quarters, Quebec, Jan.5 th, 1865, Lieutenant-Colonel Hawkes is hereby placed upon the strength of the Volunteer Brigade in this garrison, and will assume the command of the 6th Battalion or \u201cHoehelaga Light Infantry,\u201d from this date.In thus relieving Major Theodore Lyman, Assistant-Quartermaster-General, from the temporary command of the Battalion Hoehelaga Light Infantry, which position he has held for the past twelve months, the Commandant avails himself of this opportunity of recording his sense of the very valuable service rendered by that officer, in placing the Battalion iu its present satisfactory and efficient state.(By order of the Commandant,) J.Maofherson, Major, Brigade-Major, Montreal, January 13th, 1864.Regimental Order, No.46.In compliance with the Brigade Order of the 12th instant, the Major commanding bands over to Lieutenant-Colonel Hawkes the command of the Battalion of Hoehelaga Light Infantry.In thus taking leave of the Battalion which he has had the honor to command for the past twelve months, he tenders his best thanks to the officers, non-commissioned officers and men, for their cordial co-operation and zeal manifested in carrying out the orders from time to time promulgated, aud without which the Battalion «ould not have attained its present high state of discipline and efficiency, and he doubts not that having so able and experienced an officer as Lt.-Ool.Hawkes at their head they will soon be second to none in the Province.(Signed,) Theodore Lyman, Major Commanding H.L.I.DEATH OF ABBE\u2019 FERLAKD.The following biography we copy from the Quebec Mercury !\u2014\u201cM J.B.A.Ferland\u2019s reputation rests upon hia literary productions, although he was at the same time a distinguished ornament of the Roman Catholic Oburchin Canada While his productions hare not bean rery numerous, they are held in great estimation, on account of the circumstances under which they were written, chiefly amid the performance of his arduous professional services.The abba was a profound scholar, and has labored strenuously in his favorite studies.He was, therefore, well acquainted with the subjects on which ha treats in his several publications, more especially with everything connected with the history of Canada.He was descended from tha family of Freland formerly ot Poiton, in Yendeo, France, in tbe 17th century ; a member of which emigrated to this country and settled on the Island of Orleans, near Quebec.Here the name was changed to its present style ; and the father of the historian was married to a daughter of Mr.Lebrun de Duplessis, one of the four advocates who remained iu Quebec after the conquest.M.Ferland was born at Montreal on the 25th of December, 1SQ5 In 1813, his mother went to resile at Kingston with her son, and there he pursued his early studies.Iu 1816 he entered the college of Nico-let, where he remained until 1823 when he was admitted to the holy orders ; served for one year as under secretary to Monseigneur Plessis, and afterwards became a professor of arts, rhetoric, and pbilosophy, at Nicclet,\u2014In 1828 he was admitted to the priesthood ; was vicar, and served at Riviere du Loup aud St.Roch, Quebec; and acted as first chaplain of the marine hospital during the cholera of 1834.He was appointed curate of St, Isidore ; and, in the first of the same year, was appointed curate of St.Foj, as also at Ste.Anne de Beaupro, in 183Î, In 1841 he was appointed superintendent of students at Nicolet, and became superior of that institution in 1847.A year later he was called upon to reside at the archiépiscopal palace, Quebec.In 1865 he proceeded to France, for the purpose of gathering materials for an early history of Canada.In this expedition he was eminently successful ; and, on his return, published \u201c Observations on a History of Canada by 1\u2019 Abbe Brasseur, and subseqnently \u201c Notes on the Registers of Notre Dame de Quebec;\u201d \u201cA Voyage to Labrador;\u201d lately the first volume of \u201c Courses of History of Canada from 1534 to 1633 ; \u2018 and \u201c A Journal of a Voyage to the coast of Gaspe,\u201d with other narratives.Mr.Ferland was a gentleman of much goodness of heart and amiability of manners, and was very generally esteemed.\u201cMr.Ferland has been for a number of years Roman Catholic Chaplain to Her Majesty\u2019s forces in the garrison.\u201cThe funeral will take place in the French Cathedral on Friday morning, at nine o\u2019clock.\u201d A SINGULAR WILL CASE.\u2014THE R.C BIoPOP OF BFUFALO PLAINTIFF.The case in the Cirent Court between Bishop Ttmon and Mrs.Claffy, widow of James Claffy, is exciting increasing interest, from, jester-days the Couaeil chamber, where the court is held was full of listners.The testimony thus far seems to show that James Claffy frequently denounced the church, declared its priests a set of rogues, &c., and avowed that he would never given it a cent of his property\u2014amounting to $13,000 ; that he rigorously exacted the interest HORRIBLE TREATMENT OF NEGROES ON SHERMAN\u2019S MARCH.The sufferings that these unfortunate people experience even at the hands of some Federal officers sull imbued with the old feeling of contempt and dislike for negroes is shown in the following narrative addressed to the N.F.Tribune.It will be long before even nominal freedom makes them really free.The negroes along the entire route were our triends and informants in all matters, both as to thi movements of the enemy and the places were he had secreted his stores.After using them in this way, they na-turoly wanted to follow us to avoid the vengeance of their masters, and they came.The able-bodied men were employed but the women and children followed also under the shadow of our protection.They were no incumbrance, and interfered in no way with our movements.After following us some time, on coming to a bridge over Buck Head Creek, General Jeff.C.Davis, who commanded our corps, turned them back and destroyed the bridge behind us, leaving them to the mercy of our pursuers, i e.the rebel cavalry who followed iu our wake.Most of them swam over, J but two of them were drowned in crossing.Lat- ' er, during the night of the 8 th of December this atrocity was repeated.Our corps (the 14th) had to cross Ebenezer Creek, a deep broad stream.The approach to the bridge was by a narrow causeway through a swamp not passable.Near this bridge Davis placed two of his staff offieers who, as the column passed, stopped them and put the poor wretches ashore on a sort of Island.The rebel cavalry followed and when it entered the causeway, there was no escape tor any one to the lear.As soon as our troops had crossed the stream, Davis had the bridge taken up.The negroes were thus actually penned and delivered to the rebels, It is said the rebel force, being baulked in the pursuit, of us, fired upon these helpless women and chiidren.The number thus driven back and left to rebel butchery was 300.THE RRP JRTED OUTRAGES OF SHERMAN\u2019S MEN AT MILLKDGEVILLE, DENIED BY BEAUREGARD AND OTHERS.(From the Richmond Whig, Jan 6.) THE REPORTED OUTRAGES IN M1LLEDQ1V1LLS.The editor of the Fayetteville Observer has seen a letter from a clergyman in Savannah, written three days beforejthe evacuation ot that place, in which he was requested to correct the story of Yankee outreges on ladies in Millecige-viile whilst Sherman held that place.The writer bad been assured by Gen.Wayne that he had letters from ladies in Milledgevill stating that no such violence had been attempted; and that Gen.Beauregard, who was there after Sherman, has stated that it was not true that such atrocities had been committed.The writer says that the story is unquestionably false, intended to excite public feeling against the enemy.He naturally coucludes that a contradiction will relieve those who have friends in Savannah.It is one of the disgraceful incidents connected with this amazing march of Sherman through Georgia, that the world has been treated to lies of all sorti by the people of that State.Besides the newspaper statiments of these outrages, we had, says the Observer, verbal assurances of their truthfulness such as led us to be' lieve them unhesitatingly.It is due to truth that they should either be absolutely established by the Georgia press, or as absolutely contradicted PEAS, f 60 lbs.\u201467>^®72j4C.BARLEY, ¥ 48 lbs.\u201455@57Xc.PORK\u2014Mess, 18,75 ® 10,00; ~ 16,00: Prime, 14,00@15,00.^BUTTEK-Medium, 13 © 19c; good to choice, 16c 'lard\u201410@llc.DRESSED HOGS\u2014Light Weights, 6 50 ® 6 75 Heavy.6,85@7,12JJ.\t\u2019\tu\u2019\u201d1\u20190*.)fs.|fa>f9.05COC«5C005»l 0 ^ ^ Ü ooreooooorerererererere k, re rerererereorererere rererere *5 5.S2.5 p 3 0 2.0 £0 0 3 0 0 2 H -S;ë.vTüf &p o 0 reore 00 £ 0 00,0 PP g P g g H
