LATEST FRQftft TORONTO.Toronto, Dec.31.The switchman is blamed for the accident on the Great Western Railway, at Sarnia junction, having failed to turn the switch for the main line after letting the Sarnia train in.An accident occurred on the Grand Trunk Railway last Saturday.On the morning train approaching Parkhill station it ran off the track, and fell down an embankment over 20 feet in height.The conductor, Mr.M.Aloock, was cut about the head and some of his legs slightly bruised.Several passengers were injured, but not seriously.General Napier, commanding the military forces of Upper Canada, left to-day for Boston, where he will take passage on Wednesday for England.Mr.Blackwood has been honourably acquitted by the Grand Jury of participation in setting fire to Mr.Harris\u2019 premises.are of opinion that there is even now a mode of proceeding by which the end can be accomplished without violation of law.If on inquiry that should turn out to he the case, it would be a very fortunate circumstance ; for assuredly there never was a case in which punishment was more richly deserved.Fast Vessels.\u2014We have an account from Glasgowof the arrival of the ships Rose-neath and Shandon, one of which arrived on the 10th and the other on the 13th Dec.The Roseneath thus made the passage from Quebec in fifteen days, having been two days becalmed, and the Shandon in eighteen days.Considering the length of the passage made by the crack yacht Henriette\u2014nearly fourteen days from New York to Cowes, she being, of course, in the best sailing trim\u2014the passage of the Roseneath, heavily loaded, must be regarded as a very extraordinary one.Of course, the distance from Quebec to Glasgow is considerably less thanfrom New York to Cowes, and the time made by the Henriette was less than that of the Roseneath ; but the différence is also great between a vessel heavily loaded and a yacht.These vessels\u2014the Shandon and Roseneath\u2014are a credit to tills port.The Patronage.\u2014The Guelph papers are just now in a state of great indignation over the appointment of one Mr.Thos.Saunderà as Police Magistrate of that place.There seems to be no objection to Mr.Saunders, personally, except that he is the son of a Tory, whose appointment shows that Mr.Blair has entirely ignored \u201c the candidates who have the misfortune \u201c to belong to the party to which the hon.\u201c gentleman is indebted for the distinguish-\u201c ed position he occupies as apublicman.\u201d So says the Guelph Advertiser, whilst the Mercury complains that a slight has been cast on every Reformer in the place, and that Mr.Stirton, the member, was never consulted at all as to whether the appointment was agreeable to him or not.Well, the last appointment went to Mr.Dickson, and then our contemporaries and the Globe that quotes them, were just as dissatisfied.It is stupid impertinence of them to expect that a party represented as theirs is in the Government, should be treated otherwise than with contempt.American Thieves.\u2014A very inconvenient state of things has lately arisen.Not to put too fine a point upon it, this Province has for sometime become a den of thieves.People who are acquainted with the dangerous characters of New York have seen the best known and most accomplished burglars and bond-robbers walking about the streets : and, have civen infnnpatiop +1»» policy in order that a watch might be set upon their motions.But it seems that this fraternity, which is not composed of mere vulgar robbers, but of men of talent and experience, do not come here to plunder.They have more refined policy for this Province, which is, to preserve it as a place of security, where they may escape the American detectives, and where they may in safety negotiate compromises that enable them to retain large parts of their plunder.The number of these gentry who honour us with their occasional presence, and even the smaller number who maintain regular establishments here for the residence of their families, is somewhat startling.They keep, of course, as quiet as possible, and do not seek to practice their evil industry in such a manner as to make their asylum too hot to hold them.Hence it is that the public at large have not in general been acquainted with the character of the colonization which hasbeen going on among us.It is evident, however, that this kind of colonization is very far from being desirable.We are by no means sure of the continued forbearance of these gentlemen as respects our own strong boxes j and if we were we should not like to be the protectors of all the thieves and scoundrels who may choose to come to us to escape hanging or the States\u2019 prison.It is true that we have an extradition treaty under which some of these men may from time to time be delivered over to the authorities of their own country and so come by their deserts ; but the caution of the Legislature, and the jealousy of the government have made the process by which extradition can be obtained a somewhat difficult one.The reason for this precaution has been only too Well illustrated in a recent case.It was judged to be necessary to prevent the Executive or its officers from extraditing accused parties on false or frivolous pretexts from mercenary motives, or out of enmity to foreign governments.We see, more over, from what took place in England during the last session of Parliament, and from the singular unanimity of the press on the Lamirande case, how earnest the best minds in that country are in their determination to preserve all necessary checks upon the arbitrary employment of the power of the Executive to send accused persons out of the country.It may, however, be a very proper subject of con sidération whether some method can not be devised to put a stop to the state of things which we have described above\u2014especially whether the list of offences for which extradition is to take place might not be extended, so as to include what are technically larcenies ; but which really on account of the amount carried off become jobberies of first rate magnitude.We think that the Legislature might very properly consider the propriety of thus extending the list of extraditable offences, without, however, doing away with these safeguards, which are extended to prevent accused persons from being made to suffer hardship or injustice on frivolous or fraudulent grounds.We need hardly say that this matter has at this moment a special interest from the circumstance that the robbers who carried off a large amount of bonds from the Safe of the Royal Insurance Company in New York have been for some time in this city, and though in custody have coolly set at defiance the proprietors of

is made to protect us all, these persons, respecting whose guilt there is no doubt, should he given up to justice.The difficulties in the way naturally suggest the endeavour to remove them, if it can be done without injury to interests of a higher character.But that is for the Legislature.In the meantime yve see that some of our contemporaries Winter Navigation of the St.Lawrence.\u2014The Committee appointed by the Council of the Quebec Board of Trade to enquire into the practicability of the winter navigation of the St.Lawrence, have reported that the project is possible, under certain conditions ; but under the most favourable not likely te be profitable.The risks greatly outweigh the advantages.The Committee find that \u201cno insurance could be effected during the months of January or February, and that the premium by steamships sailing early in December or in March, would probably be 5 per cent,\u201d under which circumstances, of course, trade would be practically impossible.But all the difficulties, they think, will be met and removed by the construction of the Intercolonial Railway.Very likely.In fact the Committee seem to have had no little trouble in making up their minds what they would report.First steamships constructed specially for the purpose might ascend ; but then there would be no use in their doing so, because there would be no cargoes ; the Intercolonial would destroy the chances of a profitable trade by the St.Lawrence ; and finally the Committee advise the Government to test the matter by providing a suitable steamer to navigate the Gulf in December, March and April.Anti Ritualistic Movement.\u2014The King-stnn tfl W \\ Npii.e mjl'lL-Loo .i-^port of a.at once, they are generally shut up in a room to fatten ; and for about ten days at this time of the year many Spanish houses may be compared to immense turkey roosts.\u201d I sometime ago informed you that it was expected that the theatrical season in Paris this year would be a very brilliant one, and I was not mistaken.Sardon, the man of the day has in the space of two months given us two new pieces.\u201c Nos Bons Villageois and Maison Naive,\u201d the first named piece, performed at the Gymnase on the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, has been a decided hit, and there is still very great difficulty in obtaining places ; hut the latter piece may be called a half success, and will not probably remain long on the bills of the Vaudeville, opposite the Bourse.Monsieur Carvalho, the impressario of the Theatre Lyrique, has given us an improved and much corrected edition of Carl Maria Yon Webers Her Freischutz, which has hitherto been given to the Paris public in a very mangled form\u2014this delightful opera has been got up in a most splendid manner, and as the taste for a better class of music has of late made more progress in Paris, we predict a long and successful run to Der Freischutz.Verdi\u2019s opera of Don Carlos, which has been so long in rehearsal will be produced at the end of the month.Calotta Patti, who has been giving concerts at Amiens, most generously handed over to the Mayor of that town the sum of 3,000 francs to be distributed amongst the orphans and widows of those of the needy class, who fell victims to the epidemic this year.The celebrated comic actor Bache, who for so many years amused us at the \u201c

study of those questions \u201c which, unhappily for the peace and wel-\u201c fare of the Church, have been the occa-\u201c sion of much discord in this country, as \u201cwell as at home.\u201d Resolutions were passed to carry out the object of the meeting, and a vote of thanks was carried to the lion.Mr.Patton for the stand taken by him at the late Synod.OBI TU AR Y_ FOR\t1866.Baldwin,

arms\u2019, being involuntarily pressed into the service of Geo.Ill and after a brilliau caceer, and some hard fighting, was made post Captain Jan.1st, 1817.Robert Baldwin, tather of the Admiral, emigrated to Canada in 1789.The subject of this sketch did not come here until about the year 1820.He was brother to Dr.Wm.Warren Baldwin, the father of late Hon, Robert Baldwin.Upon his arrival in Canada Admiral Baldwin took no very active part in public affairs, and, unlike his distinguished nephew, was conservaive in politics.He held, however, a position in the Executive Council during the latter part of Sir F.B.Head\u2019s administration, and the early part of his successor\u2019s, but does not seem to have taken any very active or leading part in the Government, although he was one of its members during the stormy time of the rebellion.For many of his latter years he was a Director in the Bank of Upper Canada.In social qualities he excelled, keeping his frank, sailor* bearing to the last, with a smile and pleasant word for every one.To the day he died, his faculties were almost unimpaired.In 1826, he married Augusta Melissa Jackson, daughter of J.M.Jackson, Esq., and she now survives her husband.There were three children of this marriage\u2014a son and two daughters\u2014but all died in their youth.The brave old Admiral has left behind him the record of a long life spent in the service of his country, and a reputation unsullied by a single stain.Bell, Alex D.Mo Kenzie, died at Quebec Feb.25th.He was fonrth son of the late Hon.Matthew Bell of Quebec, and for many years

Mme.D\u2019Ambroaio ; followed her mother to Palermo, on the conquest of Naples by the French in 1798; after which she passed two years at Vienna, and did hot return to her own country till 1802.Soon after she was called on to share the new exile of her family in Sicily, where, in 1808, she became acquainted with the Duke of Orleans, then banished from his country.After some delay she was married to this Prince, at Palermo, on the 25th Nov.1809, and next year she became a mother.In 1814, she was a short time in France and next year she went with her children to England, where she remained till the beginning of the year 1817.When the duo d\u2019Orleans, her husband, was called to the French throne, in 1830, Marie Amelie, had the sagacity to refuse to take any part in politics.Uevoting herself entirely to the education of her children, she only regarded her elevation as a means of enlarging her means of doing good.When the revolution of 1848 broke out, she, after having set the example of a courageous and dignified attitude, on the 24th Feb.accompanied her husband into England firing' witli liitn.alon Honorably Acquitted.\u2014Mr.Thos.F.Blackwood, well known in business here having only left this about a year ago, was charged in Toronto with setting fire to the premises of Mr.Harrison, Yonge street.We are glad to see by the Toronto Telegraph thulVae Grand Jury, before whom the charge was laid, being unanimously of opinion that it was unsupported in every particular, have brought in No Bill.This must be satisfactory to Mr.Blackwood\u2019s friends here, who, however, never had any doubt of his innocence.Champlain\u2019s Tomb.\u2014Mr.Drapeau of Quebec, has published a pamphlet, which he has sent us, relating to the recent discovery of the tomb of Champlain, to which he claims to have materially contributed.POLITICS OF KUKOFK.Paris, 12lh Dec., 1866.The rupture between France and Mexico is complete, and the news we receive respecting the position of the Emperor Maximillian seems this time to be certain.DeBazaineand deOas-teinan will now have to manage the affairs of the country, until some arrangement with the United States be come to.The consternation in Paris is very great, and the arrival of the new American Minister General Dix is most opportune.It is to be hoped that this statesman will sneoeed in smoothing the difficulties existing between the two Cabinets of Washington and the Tuileries, and that the Mexican question which has been such a source of expense, anxiety and unpleasantness to France may soon become a matter of history.Everything relating to the Mexican question will no doubt be kept quiet for the moment, but when the Senate and Corps Legislative meet, there will be a settling of accounts, and days of triumph for Thiers, Favre, and many others of the opposition who have over and over again warned the Government not to drive deeper into the hornet\u2019s nest\u2014advice to which the Government of the Emperor has always tnrned a deaf ear ?The debates in the Chamber on the Mexican imbroglio will offer immense in-'erest.We shall then have an opportunity of hearing how the country\u2019s money has been most wantonly sqandered.The Court is still at Compiegne, the third series of guests returned to Paris on Saturday, and the fourth left the capital ; the Emperor and the Court have availed themselves of the beautiful weather we have had lately to enjoy the pleasures of the hunt in the forest of Corn-piegne.The guests of the fourth series are to go through pretty much the same round of pleasures as their predecessors of the first, second and third series The confinement of the Princess Clothilde, the wife of our dear Cousin, is shortly expected at the Palais Royal.We hear that all the letters and cards which are to be sent out to announce the happy event are now in readiness.The New Year, a terrible day in France is near at hand, and there seems to be no mention this year, as in former ones, of doing away with the great tax of Frtennes.or in plain English, New Year\u2019s Gifts The French have of late yearn introduced the German Christmas tree and plum pudding, bat the\"' Spanish Buena Noche is less known.This trans Pyrenean festival is thus described by Senor Silva in his amusing work on Spain \u2022\u2014 \u201c In Spain the Buena Noche is the noisiest day of the year, on which nobody thinks of re tiring to rest ; there is a perfect charivari of drums, castagnettes and Pabos, howling and shouting in the streets.The Pabos is an instrument of the wildest description\u2014a stick moving backwards and forwards between a piece of stretched parchment, and producing a noise somewhat similar to that of a turkey.Pabos is the Spanish name for that bird.Besides the parchment turkeys, there are the real ones, which even make more noise in Spain on Christmas Eve.\u201c It is the custom for a certain class of society to exchange gifts at this time of thcl year mostly presents in the way of eatables.The turkey being generally the fundammtal part of a Christmas dinner or supper, many necessarily receive an immense quantity of turkeys, some we know to have received more than forty or fifty at a time.As they cannot be all eaten ito.alone, tiio perils ami tar.icriio \u2022 the flight.Ketiréd to Claremont, under the nAme of the Countess do

went to all elections, and, from the time he first voted for Washington, he had always voted the straight-out Union ticket.He was an inveterate smoker.In person he was rather above the medium height, spare in flesh, but showing evidence of having been in his prime\u2014a century or so before\u2014a man of sinewy strength.Of late years a haunting sense of loneliness overwhelmed and seemed to sadden him.The only weakness of mind which he ever betrayed was in the last year or two of his existence, when he frequently remarked, with a startling air of sadness, that he feared that perhaps \u201c Death had forgotten him ; but he would always add, with more cheerfulness, that he felt sure \u201c God had not \u201d Dorion, J.B.E, died at the village of L\u2019Avenir, C.E, Nov.1st.He was member

by Loid Aylmer that, in the opinion of the Colonial-office, it would be better that the public officers of the province should exercise \u201ca cautious abstinence\u201d from the great political questions of the day.On this hint, Mr.Ogden being then Attorney-General, resigned his seat in the Assembly and retired from political life, as he supposed, for ever.In 1815 he received a silk gown

conducted the Government through the first session of the Parliament of United Canada and brought that session to a successful close, introducing and carrying many important and useful measures.The untimely death of Lord Sydenham turned the administration of the Government upon Sir Richard Jackson, the Commander of H.M.Forces, from whom, after having made all the arrangements necessary for carrying out the legislation of the session, Mr.Ogden obtained leave of absence for a year to make a voyage to Europe for the recovery of his health.On his return, before his leave of absence had expired, he found that during that absence he and the Ministry, of which he formed part had been removed from office by Sir Charles Bagot, and that Mr.Lafountaine and his friends held the reins of Government.Sir Charles sent a message to the Legislative Assembly, recommending him for a superannuation allowance of625i.per annum ; but no motion was made to refer the message to the cpmmittee of supply until the day next before that fixed for the prorogation, when it was met by an amendment that it should be considered in the next session, which according to Parliamentary usage, it could not be ; and it was never renewed.Mr.Ogden felt that, as a public man, his connection with the province was at an end.He retired to England and appealed to the Imperial Government, but was told that his claim was against that of Canada.His services were fully acknowledged, and he was offered several colonial appointments of more or less value, which ho declined; but, having been in a most flattering manner called to the English Bar, he eventually accepted the Attorney-Generalship ot the Isle of Man, and was afterwards, upon the passing of the new Probate Act in 1857, appointed to the office of
