1199 - L Nov. 15:4/7 - Grain receipts by rail and canal continue light.
Flour is firm and steady with fair demand. There was a considerable
feeling in the grain market, with an increased firmness especially for
corn, but the transactions were limited and wheat sales were the same
as of Nov. 11. The margin in the price of grain between this port and
Buffalo is fair for ordinary times, but rates on freight, insurance, and
other expenses have so advanced that little can be made, even at the
liberal margin now existing, and but little is being shipped. (4)

1836 - L Apr. 1:4/6 - Messrs. Quayle and Martin launched a bark at their
yards yesterday afternoon for Cunningham, Shaw, and Company of Liverpool.
The ship was designed to form one of the lines operated by this firm be-
tween Liverpool and the Great Lakes. She is called the THERMUTIS, ard
though not of the largest size, is one of the staunchest vessels ever
turned out by our builders. She will be wire-rigged. As soon as com-
pleted she will clear for Liverpool, where she will receive her register
and commission, preparatory to taking her place in the line.
We believe this vessel is the first launched from a western shipyard
for a foreign account, and we feel proud to be able to claim this distinc-
tion for our enterprising shipbuilders. -
The THERMUTIS is 142 feet long over-all, with a keel length of 137 feet.
Her beam is 26 feet, her hold, 12-1/2 feet, and burthen, 420 tons.
The business of our shipbuilders this season has been large, and the
vessels contracted for of the best class, continued proof of the high
estimate in which our builders are held.
Peck, and Masters are now building three propellers for Dean Richmond
to run in connection with the New York Central railroad. They will be
ready for the spring trade. . . . . -
' ' ' The DEAN RICHMOND, one of the finest ships of her kind on the Great
Lakes, was recently launched for N. C. and II. J. and II. J. Winslow by
Quayle and Martin and is now receiving her boilers at the Cuyahoga works.
She will see service in the Buffalo-Chicago line. This firm is also en-
gaged in building a propeller for Capt. Edward Turner.
Loffrimier has nearly completed a fine propeller for Robert Hanra and
Company, to run in the Lake Superior line.
Presley and Stevens bave rebuilt the Northern Transportation co's pro-
peller YOUNG AMERICA, adding several feet to her length, and making other
important improvements. - -
Several tugs are being constructed for various parties, and T. W.
Kennard of the Atlantic and Great Western railroad is having a magnifi-
cent steel yacht built by Peck and Masters. (7)

2298 - L. Nov. 2; ed:4/6 - Reports that an attack would be made on this
city last night caused a great deal of excitement among the people.
The origin of the alarm seems to have come from a dispatch sent to Lieu-
tenant Colonel Palmer stationed at Johnson's island, stating that 100
men had left Toronto for the purpºse of pillaging Detroit and Buffalo.
One rumor brought on another and every suspicious-looking person was
questioned. All necessary precautions were taken to insure the safety
as well as the property of the citizens. (15)

2428 - H Aug. 5: 1/5 - Yesterday, two contrabands were being taken to Buffalo
by-some "broker" who offered them $50 to enlist in the army. Some colored
men on the train heard of the swindle, and persuaded the contrabands to
stop off here, where they could get $300 or $400. The broker objected, and
a fight started. Two men were jailed, and the contrabands locked up for
safe keeping. - * - (3)
