From the Lower Provinces--
The New Liquor Law in New Brunswick, has been signed by the Lieut. Governor. Of this act, the "New Brunswicker" says:

"We have been favored with the following synopsis of the "Act to prevent the importation, manufacture, and traffic in intoxicating liquors," as it received the Lieut. Governor's assent at the close of the session. It will be observed that this Act does not come into force until the first day of January next; and we recommend a careful consideration of its extraordinary provisions to every dispassionate person. There never before was an act passed in this Province which so completely subverted and set at naught the liberties of a free people. It interferes with trade and imports-it prohibits manufactures-it introduces new and arbitrary modes of legal procedure-it shakes confidence in securities for debt, and sets aside the principles of self-government in the most ruthless manner.

There is no suspending clause to this act, and unless sooner disallowed by Her Majesty we shall become subject to its provisions at the beginning of 1856.

House of Assembly, Quebec, May 5
Attorney General Drummond moved that the 62^nd rule of the House be suspended in relation to the bill from the Legislative Council instituting an act to authorize the Grand Trunk Co. of Canada to change the location of their line in and near the City of Toronto. Yeas, 56; Nays, 31.

Mr. Huot moved that this House is of opinion that the punishment of death, while it is repugnant to the present state of society, does not prevent the continuance of the crimes for which authority ordains it application; that accordingly a law should be brought in to abolish the punishment of death in the Province of Canada.

Several small craft that have arrived from the lower Parishes report having seen her ashore, and one of them stated that her chimneys were down.

The steamer Doris proceeded down to her assistance on Thursday about noon.

Loss Of The Odessa.
We have been favored by Capt. Darling, with the following report of the loss of the bark Odessa, hence last Fall for Limerick:--
The Odessa sailed from Quebec on the 21^st November, and, on 6^th December, having encountered a gale of wind from S.E., ship sprung a leak. The pumps were kept going, but the water continuing to gain on her, we bore up for Gaspé. It soon after came on to blow a heavy gale of wind from S.W., and we were obliged to heave the ship to. On the following day, made Anticosti Island, took to the boats, and abandoned the vessel. The chart indicating that a provision post was located at Fox Bay, we proceeded there, and being unable to discover the depot marked, camped in the bush. On the 12^th, left for the S.E. point; during the same night a heavy gale of wind blew from the eastward, driving the long boat ashore among the rocks. The crew took shelter on some shelving rocks which projected from a cliff, and remained there all night. The master and mate were twice washed off the rocks but succeeded in reaching them again; the mate's wife was also washed off and, unfortunately, drowned. When daylight came, we saw no prospect of escaping from our perilous situation, for the cliffs surrounded us on every side. The long boat's oars and masts had been washed ashore, and having lashed them together, such of us as were least exhausted, climbed up by the spars, and then hauled our companions up. To our inexpressible regret we were compelled to leave on the cliff the Doctor and one of our men; they had been severely frost bitten and were unable to travel. They both died shortly after our departure. We were obliged to remain in the bush that night; there was then about 2½ feet of snow on the ground and we were without the means of lighting a fire. On the morning of the 14^th, started for the East Point, and the master, mate, and three men reached there that evening. One man had both his feet frost-bitten, and died in consequence. Every attention was paid the survivors by Mr. Julyan, the Light House Keeper, but being unprovided with medicine of any kind, he had some difficulty in affording relief to the sufferers by the cold and frost.

The Maranham, which was stranded at Kamouraska last fall, arrived here yesterday.

The bark Home, from Glasgow, with a general cargo, left here for Montreal on Saturday afternoon, in tow of the North America.

Barque Woodbine, McAllister, from St. John, N.B., for Cardiff, W., put into Portland, 14^th in distress. On the eighth day out, experienced a heavy gale, & sprung a leak, and the crew refused to do duty. A survey is to be held upon her.

Awful Case of Shipwreck
Captain Button, of the bark Clara Windsor, arrived at New York, from Port au Prince, reports that on the outward passage, March 19^th, lat 32, long 66 38, a fresh breeze from SSW, saw a wreck to leeward, with two men standing on the bow and waving their hats; hove to and got out a boat, and succeeded in taking them off. The wreck proved to be the schr. John Clark, Captain McKay, hence for Jaemel. The men stated that they were all that were left out of seven who had sailed in the above schooner from New York on the 3^rd day of March, bound to Jaemel; that on the 7^th 9p.m., while under double reefed topsails, wind WSS, a squall struck the schooner from WNW, and throwing on her beam-ends, occupying an hour before they succeeded in cutting away the weather rigging, when the mainmast and foremast went close by the deck and she righted. The hatches were broken and the vessel found full of water - without provisions; the next day they obtained a keg of crackers wet with salt water, a bucket of vinegar, some shark liver oil, and camphene; the latter made them stupid, feeling as if on fire. The fifth day after the catastrophe the captain, mate, steward, and two men died; and they, the two remaining men, had nothing to eat eight days previous to being taken off. Those who died went crazy previous to death. They also state that they saw two different vessels; a fishing schooner that came close to them they could see the man at the helm; the other within what they considered hailing distance, and the vessel hove to and came close up under their lee, and after surveying them put their helm hard up and bore away without offering any assistance. All were living at that time, but it being before daylight, could not make out her name, as the letters were but indistinctly visible; the weather was good, and nothing prevented them from saving all hands. The names of two saved are Robert McKay (captain's son,) and Charles Lowell.

Fire On The Railway
Passengers by the Richmond Railway inform us that the Station House at Stanfold narrowly escaped destruction by fire on Friday morning. The fire was supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Mr. Lay, the station master, is said to have contributed much by his exertions towards the saving of the building.

Quebec, May 17^th, 1855

We, the undersigned, on behalf of the Passengers by the Ship "Oriental," desire to express our unqualified satisfaction and approval of the accommodation and provisions of the Ship with our best wishes for her further success. Our voyage, upon the whole, has been pleasant and prosperous, which may be attributed under Divine Providence, to the caution, skill, and vigilance of our highly esteemed and worthy Captain.

As an expression of our feeling we have presented him a Silver Cup.

If we have any friends leaving the "Old Country," we shall most certainly, in our private communications, recommend them to come over with our worthy friend Captain H. Tom, in the good Ship "Oriental"

Loss of an Indiaman
By telegraph from Trieste to London, in anticipation of the overland mail from India and China, advice is received of the loss of ship Living Age (of Boston), Capt Holmes, from Shanghae for New York, on the Pratas Shoal, about 150 miles south east from Hong Kong, and far from any other land. She was laden with teas, &c., valued at upwards of $300,000.

On Saturday, the 7^th instant, expired, at the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy, Westport, after a short but severe illness, Sister Mary Augustine, a member of that most meritorious order. This deeply lamented young lady was the second daughter of Captain Fitzgerald Higgins, and sister of Colonel Higgins, M.P. for the county. An innate piety and love of virtue, cherished by an exemplary and pious mother, had marked the deceased from her earliest childhood. She soon forsook the open path to the enjoyments and pleasures of this world, and early consecrated herself to religion and the service of the poor. The grief of the public in Westport surpasses, if possible, the deep affliction of the pious sisterhood. The melancholy event was made the subject of most touching and salutary instruction at each of the Masses on Easter Sunday; and the interment on Monday last, in the Convent grounds, was a scene which none that saw can ever forget. Animated by a holy zeal, the deceased was one of the three devoted ladies whom the Convent of Mercy in Westport supplied for the arduous service of ministering to the sick and wounded in the Crimea.

Third Report
New York, May 19
The forts on the north side of the harbor had taken part in the cannonade, carrying their shots clear over the town into the lines of the allies.

During the first week of the bombardment the English fired about 2,200 tons of shot and 500 tons of powder, so that the total consumption by the allies for the week amounted probably to some 6000 tons of shot and 1500 tons of powder.

The telegraph between London and the Crimea was perfect, except a small portion across the Danube. Despatches reached the British Government in a few hours, but were not generally communicated to the public although, nightly, questions were asked in Parliament as to the news.-Ministers declared that they should exercise due discretion in the publication of the news.

The Vienna negotiations are, of course, at an end.

Lord J. Russell had re-appeared in his seat in Parliament, and Drouyn de L'huys had returned to Paris. Lord J. Russell stated that the substance of the negotiations and the protocol would be submitted to parliament.

The following are the latest despatches from the seat of war:--

A sharp engagement took place on the night of May 1^st in the front and left attack. The whole of the Russian Rifle pits were taken, 8 light mortars and 200 prisoners. The whole affair was brilliant for the allies.

Paris 4^th-It is reported to-day that on May 2^nd the besiegers took possession of some very important Russian works of counter approach after a fierce engagement.

On the 3^rd, the Russians attempted to take the position, which still remains in the hands of the allies.

Before Sebastopol, May 4.-On Wednesday night the French, under Gen. Pellissier, attacked the advanced works of the Quarantine Bastion, and carried them at the point of the bayonet, taking 12 mortars from the Russians, and establishing himself in the position.
