A Bolster tor the Canadian invasion. tFrom the Buffalo Courier, 12th.] We had an Interview, jeeterday, with a gentle-, men who has recently made a business tour through; Canada,-and spent' some, time In Montreal* We learn from him that the threatened rebel raid upon the-lake cities was not the canard many suppose it' to be, but a carefully-matured scheme, which foiled through the bad faith of one of the conspirators. He derived his information from one of the number, and was introduced, when in Montreal; to several, of the band. They were mostly Southern refugees.; organized by a rebel officer who came to Montreal with ample means to carry out the plan, whloh was to visit, at as nearly the same time as practicable, all the lake cities and destroy all the elevators and chip ping. Their object was not plunder, but to oripple the resources oi the North. The leaders had aoou rate maps of every city from Chicago to Oswego, showing the exact position of every elevator and warehouse, and designating those which were espe cially doomed. Every elevator in this city was cor rectly mapped, even those not yet completed. The number of the band was stated to be from four to , five hundred, an<fabout fifty of them were in Mon treal at the time our informant was there. Ia his ; ©pinion no plan was ever more carefully laid, and nothing but the exposure to the Canadian Govern ment prevent its execution. Buffalonians owe a lasting debt of gratitude to the Canadian authori ties for their prompt action. THE CITY. The Thermometer. DECEMBER 16,18«2. I DECEMBER 16, 1863; •A. 12 H*«• «*8 P* - X.l6jA.

On Tuesday evening, at the Continental Hotel, the Albion Society held their eighth anniversary dinner. The chair was occupied by Frederick Fair tboine, Etq.» President, and the vice chair by Wm. Elliott, E*q., Vice President of the Sooiety, and William GE Boulton, Eeq., the Secretary, ably officiated as Marshal. The; company conaictedof forty-six members, and a few guests. Among the invited present were the Rev. Dr. Ducaohet, Mr. Kortwiight, British Consul in this oily; David Milne, Eeq.; Genera! Patterson, and Horatio Gates .Tones, Eeq., respectively Presidents of the St. An drew’s, Hibernian, and Welch Societies. The mu sioal, or rather the vocal, department was effectively provided for ,*by Mr. T. Bishop and Mr. John Heis* ler. The dinner was good, and the wines very good. Thotoasts were as follows: 1. The Queen, Responded to by Mr. Kortwright, Britiih oontul. 2. The President of the United States . (The Star- Spangled Banner.) 3. The Donors and Benefactors of the Albion Society . 4.

Several other volunteer toast, were drank,—to one of these, Sir. Bullock, of Cincinnati, made a truly eloquent response. General Patterson also spoke, with con siderable effect, upon the Irish element in the Ame rican army. But, perhaps, the most effeotive of all the addieeees wm one from Mr. Thompson, which oontrfuded with a distinct and (for the fourth time) de cided pledge that at the next anniversary dinner he certainly would provide the Sooiety, (even if he had to charter a steamer for the especial purpose,) with along-promised saddle of Southdown mutton and certain English hares, which also have been a con siderable time in expeetation 1 The Albion dinner, we need sosroely add, went off very harmoniously. To the Benevolent. Dr. Bourns, of thia oity, who possesses the original ambrotype of Sergeant Hummiston’s three children, which was found on hia body at the Gettysburg battle-field, will visit Mrs. HummUton at her residence about Ghrifttpae day, and take with him the likeness and all contributions which the benevolent-hearted Kof this city should see fit to leave at any of lowing places for that purpose, viz: Presby terian House of Publication, Martien’s bookstore, Amerioan Sunday school Union, American Traot Societ, or the Baptist Publication rooms. The Rev. Isaac G-. Ogden, in a communication to the American Presbyterian ana Genesee Evangelist , says of Sergeant Hummiston: “When the rebellion first took the form of open war upon the country, he was anxious to enlist; but his duty to his family seemed then to be paramount to his duty to bis country. But after the disastrous Peninsular campaign, when there was a call for three hundred thousand more volun teers, and when he received assurance from respon sible citizens that hts family should be oared for during his absence, then, without the prospect of a large bounty, he enlisted as a private inOompany C, 154th Regiment New York State Volunteers, uader Captain X». D. Warner, now major of ithe 154thwas with the regiment in the battle of Chancellorville, and laid down bis life for his country at Gettysburg. “Hia children are bright, active, and intelligent; they are left with their mother entirely dependent upon their own exertions, and the assistance of others. Mrs, H. recently made a public profession of her faith in Christ, and united with the Presby terian Church of this place. The coming of her children's photograph, kindly sent by Dr. Bourns of your city, relieved her dread suspense relative to her. husband’s fate, and she bows with Christian submission to the Providence which makes her a widow, and her children fatherless.” Fatal Accident on the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad.— An accicent occurred at an early hour yesterday morning, on the Phila delphia and Trenton Railroad, by which one life was lost and another greatly imperilled. The cause was owing to no carelessness, but was strictly acci dental. Near Trenton the train suffered a delay by the detachment of the locomotive and first oar. When this was discovered, the engineer backed up after the other portion of the train. The latter was running at a pretty rapid rate, and a collision was the reault. The passengers in the ears were con siderably jarred, but none injured. Upon the plat form of the last car were two recruits, on their way to the rendezvous at Trenton. Their names are Amos Whitmore and John J. Mills. Both were thrown off-'the train by the force of the collision, Whitmore had his left thigh crushed in a shooking manner, and Mllla had his right thigh fractured. The sufferers were brought to this city, and Whit more died at the Kensington ddpOt, at eight o’clock yesterday morning. His body, and the other un fortunate man, Mills u were seat to the military hospital at Broad and Prime Btreets, by Lieutenant Wmtcraft, of the Nineteenth-ward police. National Union Caucus.—The National Union member, of tbe Seleot and Common Council.

There were some disappointed, of course, but there was no complaint, beeauee those selected are pronounced to be .men of sound Union sentiments, sterling integrity, and entirely compe tent to discharge the duties of the several positions for which their services have thus been secured. Beautiful Scenes of Nature.—The sunset scenes during the past several weeks have been unusually beautiful. They have been gene rally almost cloudless, like the sunsets in Italy, and in the Levant, with an amber- color or orange light flushing the whole sky, and streaming into every nook and recess open to the air, scarcely casting any. shadow, or. casting bat a faint and undefined one, from the objects on which it falls. The most besuti ful sunsets in our olimste—and exceedingly beauti ful they are—have generally been those in which the clouds have been the most conspicuous accesso ries, ourtaining the declining sun with their pomp of colors, purple, crimson, orange, and gold, and their almost metallic brilliancy and glitter. Just now, however—up to the time of the late storm—we have had a succession of sunsets often without a single defined cloud in the sky, as if these meteors had been bidden to withdraw for a season, in order to exhibit to our eyes some of the phenomena pre sented by tbe most beautiful face of Heaven itself Meeting to Avoid the Draft.—The citizen aof the Second ward held a meeting, at the Hall Of the Union League, on Tuesday evening last, in order to devise some means whereby the quota of that ward might be filled previous to the sth of next month, to avoid the draft. The number of men re quired at the present time, in that ward, is about one hundred. The meeting was presided over by Mr. John W. Lynn. Resolutions were passed, urg ing the citizens of the ward, without distinction of party, to assemble at the same place on Monday evening next, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the best practicable means for raising the quota of men from the ward. The following gentle men were appointed to carry the resolutions into effect: .Messrs. John W. Fraziefs Robt. T. GilL'and John B. Minton.

Supreme Court at Hlal Prlus—Justice Strong-. George Kirk, surviving exeoutor of Rachel Dougherty, deceased, vs. Samuel Oarr, et ai. This was an action of ejectment, to recover possession of three or four lots and the buildings thereon eteoted, on Cherry street, between Eleventh and Twelfth. The defence allege that the will of the testator, on which the plaintiff’s case is founded, was Impro perly executed; and therefore void. On trial. District Court In Banc-Judges Sharawood, Stroud, and Hare. The argument list was before the Court all or yes terday's session on second ealling. It will be taken up on third calling this morning, probably. Orphans’ Court—Judges Thompson and hndfow. The argument list is .till before the Court, end. among the cates argued yesterday and to-day was that of the estate of Mabion Hutohinion, deceased, on exceptions to Auditor’s report. The ease seem, to be rather Important, on account of the nice point, raised, whloh were several. They involved the construction of the testator’s will, made in 1853, and by codicil in 1857. Mr. Hutchinson died about a year ago, having, by his will, divided bis estate among his five children. By a clause in the will, he “forgives” all the debts, advancements, and loans of money due by any. of his children to him, “except theoapltal in the hands of my son Daniel, since he entered into his present business at a broker, which is to be regarded by my exeoutors as psit of my estate.” At the time of his death the decedent held Daniel’s bond, dated In 1854, for $52,400, principal and interest. It was con tended by counsel for Daniel Hutchinson that the testator intended to charge him with the principal only, and that “capital” meant prlnolpal, and that the will forgave the Interest. This construction would make Daniel’s debt but about $31,000, and leave a large balance, about $25,000, due him. On. the other hand, it was argued that the testator in tended to forgive all debts except the stooks and cash, with interest thereon, in Daniel Hutchinson’s hands; that it was a debt, as the bond showed, the bond being given after the will, and that the amount of the bond, with interest thereon, absorbed Daniel’s share. The executors charged commissions at five per cent., which were reduced by the auditor to three per cent. The case was argued by H. M Phil lips, G. W. Biddle, Pierce Archer, B. H. Brewster, and David Paul Brown, EBqg., for the various par ties in interat, and held under advisement. Court of Oyer and Terminer and quarter Sessions—Judge Allison. CJOIiVICTKI) OF BUTTING tJP A tOTTBEV. Yesterday the cases of Ezra Merrill and others, charged with setting up and drawing a lottery for money, were called. The defendants were arrested last month by the detectives, at a house in Harmony court, where the drawing was had. When the oases, were called, oounsel for one of the defendants moved to quash the bill of indictment in his case, because the return of the alderman was to the next term, and the bill had been found at the present term, whereby the deiendant was precluded from his right oi challenging grand jurors. It appeared, however, that the defendant had pleaded to the bill, ana Judge Allison decided that, by so doing, be had waived bi. right of challenge, and that the objection, otherwise good, could not be sustained. Time was allowed the defendant to prepare for trial. Theease of Merrill was then proceeded with. The Common wealth proved the drawing in his house and in his presence, and that the boy who was used to draw the numbers slated, in Merrill’s presence, that he Pad blindfolded him for .that purpose. The defence offered no Testimony, but conteded that the evidence was not sufficient to show any connection of Mer rill's with the other defendants in the settingup and drawing of-the lottery. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty. Sentence deferred. THE POLICE. (Before Mr. Alderman Baitler. ] Heavy Robberies. Two young men, giving the names of Peter Jones and John Casey, were arraigned at the Central Sta tion yesterday afternoon, on suspicion of being im plicated in a couple of robberies that recently took place in the upper part of the city. About two weeks since the house of fors. Douise Eater, corner ,of Vienna street and Fraakford road, was robbed of money to the amount of between $OOO and $7OO, a gold watch, fob chain, a cross, three medal lions, a gold thimble, several finger-rings, and, per haps, one or two other articles. On the evening of the 11th instant the dwelling of Hugh Donnelly, at the corner of Frankford road and Cumberland avenue, was robbed of $3 200. Both these robberies were mysterious. A number of witnesses were examined yesterday, but no evidence was adduced against the defendants of actual implication in the robberies. On the night of the robberies of Mrs. Easor’s house, three persons were seen loitering about the front thereof; one was seen to cross the threshold, jones was identified as being one of the parties pre sent, by three children, two little boys and a girl. One or the lads, a boy of about 14 years, identified Casey as the one who entered the house. Casey called him a liar, and enforced this unmanly epithet with taking the name of his Maker in vain. The lad, however, was not the least intimidated with this remark, but consistently reaffirmed that he was the man, and that Jones was the other man who was standing near by. The little girl testified that she saw three men standing on a stable lot, opposite Donnelly’s, on Tuesday night, before the robbery ; Jones looked like one of the men. Mrs. Enser testified that on the night of the rob bery at her house a young man called in and asked for a glass of beer; he was accommodated, drank the beverage, paid for it, and then went out; the prisoner Joneß looks very much like the young man, but she would not like to swear positively to him: she believed him to be the same person. The defendant (Jones) replied that the witness was mistaken; that he never drank aglass of beer lu his life, and as for the place robbed I don’t know where it is. The alderman required bail in the sum of *3,000 to await a further hearing on Friday next. “What fori” inquired donee with apparent Bur prise. “A further hesring on the charge of robbing Don nelly’s house,” replied the magistrate. “ What, Bir! upon the mere evidence of children!” “ Children, sir, are as capable of telling the truth as you are.” “ Where is the evidence implicating me in the rob bery!” “ We’ll endeavor to accommodate you with some of it on Friday.” Jones looked rather downcast, and, giving his head a toss, mumbled something to himself, Casey, who had been removed for profanity, was now called up, and, in addition to $3,000 bail for a further hearing, was required to enter stoo addi tional, to answer at the next term of the court the charge of blasphemy. The penalty for blasphemy is three months under the revised penai code. " Dishonest Domestic. Emily Ca&eiday is the name given by a young woman who was arraigned yesterday morning on the charge of stealing $5O worth of clothing. The defendant-was employed as a domestic in a family residing on Tenth street, near Locust, and thus ob tained facilities to help herself to goods. The arti cles thus stolen and identified were traced to the possession of John and Eliza Murphy, who had purchased them from defendant. They Were also arreßted, and with the principal bound over to an swer at court. [Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty. 3 Assault %vith lntent to Kill, John Keenan was arraigned, yesterday, on the charge of driving a wagon over a colored boy, at Front and Market streets. The defendant was re quired to enter bail in the sum of $l,OOO to await a further hearing. The lad, it iB said, was badly in juredK. . PHILADELPHIA BOARD OP TRAPS.

First. I will say to Evans A Watson that whenever they will come out over their own signature, and state that they or their agent can drill any of Lillie's Safes in any way practical for a burglar, and will back up their statement with an? respectable sum, in case of failure, I am ready and willing to meet them with, like stun in case of success, with the single condition, that if suc cessful the same amount shall oe pledged by both par ties, that if 1 drill, or cause to be drilled, one of tneir Safes of similar cost and size, in one-half the time, tbe forfeiture is mine; if not, theirs. Second. Whenever they ate ready to take aiy bank or mercantile Safe they now have in use, and pot the same against one of mine of similar coit and si2e now in use, and submit them to any practical burglar teat, I will give them one-third advantage in time, each party pledging a respectable sum, to be forfeited by the party unsuccessful. As to fire, thy may select any of ray medium-size Fire .and Burglar Proof Safe* sold in Phila delphia within the last three years, and I will select one of their Safes of similar size and cost, sold within the earns time and they shall be put in a furnace together, and fairly tested upon the same terns as heretofore men tioned. As to an investigation of the Troy fire, if they will allow Mayor Henry to appoint a committee to visit Tioy and make a report as to now my Safes stood that fire, I will pay their expenses, provided they will pub lish their report in two of the leading papers in Phila delphia; one month, at their expense.
