Shipping Intelligence
The brig Glide, hence on the 20^th ult, with a part of the 74^th regiment, arrived at Halifax in four and a half days from this port.

The Unicorn reports having passed nine vessels in the river bound up.

The steamer Alliance arrived from Montreal on Saturday evening, towed down the ship Great Britain to Three Rivers, where she is to take in part of her cargo.

"There are some repeal demonstrations at Pres-de-Ville towards the Coves, in Champlain Street, and in parts of the Lower Town, on Monday and Tuesday evenings, in consequence of the arrival of the news of the enlargement of O'Connell and his associates. Peaceable demonstrations on such an occasion are excusable. We are sorry to hear, however, that some of the party shewed themselves no friends of O'Connell, and regardless of his advice, which has been so generally followed in Ireland; "peaceable conduct, no violation of law, no insult to any one." It appears that an illumination in some places was expected last evening, and many windows, not illuminated, were broken by persons in the crowd who paraded the streets; some shots were fired and persons wounded.-The law and the character of Quebec, will, of course, be vindicated.

The Canadien denies that the outrages were the work of the repealers, but of men employed by their enemies. The grounds for this assertion are that the windows of some of the most zealous repealers did not escape, any more than those of the Catholic Church. Other accounts state that the damage felt principally on the non repealers, and that the mob attacked indiscriminately all houses which were not illuminated. Two persons-Michael Barrett, bailiff of the Court of Admiralty and James White-have been arrested on charges connected with the disturbance, and on the following night troops were stationed in the Lower Town to preserve the peace.

We are sorry to learn, by a letter of the 15^th ultimo, from Barbadoes, that the detachment of our old friends, the 71^st Highlanders, stationed at Trinidad, have been suffering from the effects of the climate. Color-Serjeant Proctor and 14 or 15 privates had died within a short time previous to that date.-[Herald.]

Messrs. J. & E. Oliver, lanuched from their shipyard, St. Rochs, on Friday evening last, a beautiful ship of about 600 tons measurement. She was towed round to port immediately.

The steamer Alliance arrived from Montreal yesterday with the Jane Brown, Son'er ?onney, Leven Lass, John Horton, Sir Richard Jackson, and two barges in tow.

The brig Clifford, with a detachment of the 74^th Regiment, arrived at Halifax on the 4^th instant, in 8 days from Quebec.

Beautiful Sailing.-The ships Hellespont and Washington, which arrived at New York on Tuesday, on the 15^th September, lat 34, lon 30, fell in company, and sailed side by side 2400 miles-talking from deck to deck every day. What a relief to the monotony of a sea voyage.

Secretary's Office,
Montreal, 19^th October, 1844.
His Excellency the Governor General has been pleased to appoint the Reverend Egerton Ryerson, D.D., to be Assistant Superintendent of Education, for that part of the Province formerly Upper Canada, in place of the Reverend Robert Murray, appointed a Professor in the University of King's College, and all communications connected with the Education Office for Upper Canda, are to be addressed to him at Cobourg.

Capt. Douglas, of the Unicorn, reports that the haul of the Indian Chief, and the damaged part of her cargo, has been sold; the remainder is coming up to Quebec. The crew and passengers of the Indian Chief came up in the Unicorn.

The gale commenced about midnight, on Friday, and raged with uninterrupted fury for several hours. The damage to property is immense, and the loss of life has been frightful; some accounts say two hundred persons have perished, but only thirty-two bodies have been found, so that as yet it is impossible to ascertain the exact number of lives lost. Upwards of 130 buildings, including valuable stores, and warehouses, factories, &c, have been destroyed, and a considerable number more very much injured. The damage done to shipping has been very extensive; above a dozen vessels being either driven ashore or otherwise much damaged. The whole of the warehouses and stores, near the wharves, were completely flooded, and the Attica and Buffalo railroad suffered damage to the extent of 4000 dollars. The massive stone pier that protects the harbor is seriously injured for many rods in length. The whole extent of wharfage from the ship canal to the foot of Illinois street, is much damaged, and in many places totally destroyed. In several instances small dwellings filled with inmates floated across the flats. Their shrieks, vainly imploring assistance, mingling with the wild howls of the tempest. Many of those unhappy creatures perished before help could be given...."

Bruen.-We learn that this inhabitant of the woods is becoming extremely troublesome in the rear townships of the District, as also in those bordering on the river Ottawa. Considerable damage has already been done to corn and late sown oats and more is promised, unless the enemy is driven from the field.-- [Cornwall Observer.]

There was a dreadful hurricane at Havana, on the 4^th and 5^th instant; 125 houses were deroofed and otherwise injured, about 60 Spanish droghers were sunk. Several American vessels in that port were much injured. At Slatanzas out of 29 vessels only 2 rode out the gale in safety. A Spanish man-of-war was lost near Havanah, and all saved but the guns.

The United States Cutter Vigilant, was blown from her anchors out of the harbour of Key West, on the 5^th instant, during a gale and capsized; only two of the crew of 14 saved, viz; Michael Driscoll and Henry Hoyt.

The storm of the 18^th and 19^th instant, visited Rochester, but not so furious as at Buffalo; it destroyed considerable property.

At Kent, U.C. the fatal effects of the storm were felt.

The Gale At Buffalo.

The Buffalo Com. Adv. of Monday evening the 21st instant, estimates the property destroyed in value at $250,000. The water rose to a height altogether unprecedented. It was thirteen feet higher than on the evening the gale burst forth. Coroner Harris informs us that he has held inquests on thirty eight persons. The number will probably exceed fifty. A little boat or shallop of about 15 tons burthen, left here Friday evening for Canada, loaded with potatoes, and thirteen persons on board. The gale struck the boat near Point Abino, drove it ashore, and every person on board was drowned except the master. Gale on Cayuga Lake.--The great hurricane which devasted the port of Buffalo was also experienced with much force on the Cayuga Lake. At Aurora, where the lake is about four miles in width, the surf tore up a considerable portion of the strong Pier erected by the Messrs. Morgan, scattering the wood and stone work with a power which it would almost seem impossible for the wind to possess. Two lake schooners, the Plough Boy and the Washington, were driven ashore, and sunk, opposite to the farm of Mr. W.R. Grinnell.--They were loaded with plaster and limestone, some of which will be lost. The vessels will be raised again."

Comparative statement of Arrivals, Tonnage, at the Port of Quebec, in the years 1843 and 1844, to the 26^th October inclusive, in each year:--

Total Number of Vessels cleared at this Port for sea, from arrivals this year, up to 26^th instant, inclusive,...........1069

Freights.-The number of vessels which left this port for Quebec on charter for Deals, &c., caused such a thinning of our harbour, that freights rose very suddenly, and for the last week 35s. per ton for Ashes and 5s. per brl flour, have been the current rates, and paid freely to Liverpool and Clyde.
