There were erected in Toledo, Ohio, during the year 1866, 1099 new buildings-982 o? them dwell? ings-at a oost of $1,627,800. The steamship Brazilian- sailed from Norfolk last week, for liverpool, with the following freight: 1610hales cotton; 800barrelsroBin; 4744bags of oom, of two bushels each, and 500 barrels tar. Among the literary gentlemen having positions tn the Now York Cue toni House, are R. H. STOD? DARD, BAUST GRAY, CHABLIS F. BSIOOS, GAYLORD (Tr.ingg., JOHN SAVAGE, and HERMAN MELVILLE. Hext year is the seventh semi-centennial anni? versary of the Reformation. Three hundred and fifty years ago, on the 31st of October, LUTHES nailed to tho castle church at Wittenburg his fa? mous theses. . A man named Kirs, one of HARPER'S guerrillas, was found asleep in the woods neax-Soottsville, Kentucky, a few days since, by two citizens, who discharged their guns at him, inflicting dangerous wounds. The Military Organization Committee at Copen? hagen has recommended that the following should be the war establishment of the Danish army: 32,203 infantry ; 4379 artillery ; 2291 cavalry ; 8256 horses, and a reserve of10,000 men. General FaxnoNi has inst permanently organ? ised his- Southern Pacific Railroad. This route starts at St. Louis, but generally follows along the thirty-flfth parallel to head of navigation on the Colorado, and from thence to the Pacific coast. WILLIAM WALCOTT, of New York, agrees to com? plete Perry's Monument, at Cleveland, by placing the figures of a Bailor and a midshipman on either side of the statue, as originally designed, for three thousand dollars. On account of the. troubles in the Lidian conn, try, the Thirteenth Regulars have been ordered to Omaha, and will bc followed by two other regi? ments-one of them, probably the Twenty-fifth, from the Department bf the Potomac Lol the poor Indian. From the Savannah Advertiser wo learn that Bight Rev. Bishop WILKES, of Alabama, will visit that city on the last Sabbath of this month, to preach a sermon commemorative of the life and eervices of the late Bishop ELLIOTT. It is proba? ble that he will also administer the rite of confirm? ation, but of this we are not yet informed. Gen. TOM THUMB and family are in Manchester, England. A local journal declares that "Mrs. STRATTON is a perfect little lady, to all appearance, and those who know her best say she is so in reali? ty. She possesses a clever woman's mastery of the art of dress, and her jewels axe very rich." WENDELL BOLLMAW, Esq., the celebrated and world-renowned bridge builder and civil engineer, of Baltimore, has already commenced tho con? struction of a large iron bridge at Wilmington, N. C. It will be one of the longest bridges in the South, and be used for the accommodation of three railroad companies. The wealthiest estate in Cincinnati is that of dc late NICHOLAS LOKOWIBTK, which is valued for taxation purposes at $12,000,000. Next to this ia the property of JAKES W. GAFF, valued at $3,000, 000; DAVID GIBSON, $3,000,000; L. ANDERSON, $3,000,000 ; Joe. LONGWORTH, $2,000,000, and some eighty others whose estates are valued at ovoi $1,000,000. The gunners about Havre de Grace and the head of the Chesapeake Bay ;are, wa understand, doing but little. Shooting this season has, up to thu time, not been very profitable. Canvas back ducks are selling at $3 a pair, and red neck sell at $2, bul are very scarce. On the Potomac more wild geese have been killed than usual, but canvas backs, reo necks, ?tc., axe scarce. The Lawrence (Mass.) American says some ol the principal corporations in that city have gives notice of a reduction of pay of their employees ol ciLBoAGSBh- ?l^?n'hf tne'depresaion of the market prices for goods, and of the manufacturing inter? ests in general. A large number of factory people The Pacific Mail Steamship Company have ap? pointed Captain SAMUELE, formerly of the Fulton, and now ot the victorious yacht Henrietta, to a command in their line, and have assigned him one of their new steamships, now in process of con? struction for the China trade. Captain SAMUELS ia well known as a skillful commander, and is be? lieved to have shown special ability in his recent trip. ara already ont of employment. Hon. Lucius B. PECK, of Montpelier, Yt., died At Lowell last Friday. The deceased was for many years one of the foremost members of the Ver? mont bar, having a large practice in several coun? ties. He was a member of Congress from 1817 to 1851, and he held the position of United States District Attorney under President PURGE. He was for many years the leading Democrat of the State. SI New York, at the present time, house car? pe j. te .-a are receiving- $3 50 per day; plasterers ti 60 ; bricklayers, $4 to $4 50 ; etono-masons about the same; bakers, $10 per "week; horse sheers, $$50 per day; boot and shoe makers, $12 per week ; dry goods salesmen, $5 to $18 per week ; cabinet makers, $15 to $20per week; plumbers, $9 80 to $4 per day ; iron moulders, $18 per week. Toe Newburyport (Mass.) Herald, in referring to the efforts being made at Salem, in that State, to resnaoitato the fishing interest, says they are of no ns?. The Herald thinks that the fisheries, aa a permanent business, will pass from Massa? chusetts, and that hereafter her commerce will not keep pace with the increase In population. It regards manufactures as her great business for the future. The Journal of Oommeroe states that the in? voiced value of dry goods imported at New York during the year 188?, amounts to 8126,222,855, and says : ''Unless we . are much mtttaken, the last (1866) wiD stand as the banner year for some time-perhaps for the whole of this decade. At any rate, there are no present indications that the same total will be reached during the -twelve months upon which we have just entered." Professor BL ACETE, of Edinburgh, recently ex? cused himself from having made a silly statement hy attempting to make the ''blundering reporters'' responsible. The reporters held ? meeting, com? pared notes, and addressed a letter to the Pro? fessor, who'was obliged to retract. It is true that reportera sometimes make nonsense of speeches, bot it oftener happens that they make speeches of nonsense. A newsboy of Toronto, named HENRY MARTIN, has fallen heir to $200,000 in Texas. His father, waa a farmer and a resident of Rochester. He was killed in the first hattie of Boil Bun. His mother was nuable to support the family, and sent Brnxavt to a charitable institution, from which he escaped. The boy's uncle settled in Tesas some years ?get, and : aiocrimulated a large proper? ty. He was killed in the battle of Shiloh, fighting for the Confederacy. A relative had been search? ing three months for the boy. The celebrated preacher, PZBE HYACINTHE, is at present giving a course of lectures at Nette Dame, in Paris. He is described as ? fino looking man, of about forty years of age, handsome features, an arcrnilino noae, somewhat full and sensual lips, and a, well squared chin. He presents an imposing ap? pearance in the pulpit, attired in the costume of his order-a dross of coarse brown woollen and hood and capote of white, naked feet and sandals, a closely shaven hean, with the exception of the .hort fringe of dark hair whioh just stops short at the temples. It is estimated that the number of holes which have to be drilled by tho rook-boring machines in the Mont Cenia tunnel, before that work is com? pleted, ia about 1,600,000. The total depth of all these holes when bored will amonnt to . 4^65,890 feet, which is 105 times the length of the tunnel. Nearly 13,000,000,000 blows -wiB be struck by the perforators to do this work.

THTTESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10,1867. THE CORN BILL. We have an interesting communication on this subject from a friend in tho country, but it is too long for our columns. The writer is very severe on the Legislature. He says, among other things: "Far bettor would it have been to suspend the whole machinery of gov? ernment, as long as we are only a State in name, than to have defeated the Corn Bill. For a term during the wur we had no courts nor legislatures, and we heard but little com? plaint jof that state of things.". He then speaks of the sad condition of the Poor Houses, the Commissioners having to call on private chari? ty to eke ont a scanty subsistence for the un? fortunate inmates. It is a fact that one of the principal causes that impelled Governor ORR last fall to call a special session of the Legislature, was the scarcity of food in many of the. central and upper districts of the State. He dwells on this topic with great earnestness in his mes? sage. The Corn Bill was considered ?and passed, and the Commissioner appointed. The conditions annexed being, however, impracti? cable, the office was declined, and the matter remained in abeyance ?11 the regular session of the Legislature, when several schemes for relief were submitted, but all finally defeated. We hear great complaint in consequence from various sections of the State ; and no wonder, when we consider that the distress was great enough to induce the Governor to convene the Legislature to devise a measure of relief; and when we ara further informed, as was ascer? tained during the session in Columbia, that there is a great want of corn in a majority'of the districts, wo cannot be surprised at the interrogatories of our correspondent : "Where were the members from the suffering districts when the decisive vote was taken? Some, perhaps, were too tenacious of their populari? ty to vote for the Bill, and I feel confident that if there were any such, their constituents, ere this time, have justly condemned such a course, and will not be likely to return them. Or have you ever thought that starvation may soon be knocking at the door of some gallant soldier, who has lost an eye or -a limb in thc horrible war from which we have just emerged 1 Had you [t. e., the members of the General As? sembly of South Carolina] thought so, you would prefer tho State and her diminished credit to ?ink rather than be goaded by such harrowing reflections." We say this much in justice to our corres? pondent and the large class he represents. The members of the Legislature doubtless had their reasons for voting as they did. We have not conferred with any of them, but presume that the explanation of their course of action must be sought in the embarrassed condition ot the finances of the State. ? j-uijuji pa; x'xiii.li.--x n-AJjJl. The following statement will show tho terrible effect the late war hod on American shipping, that ship-building in-the United States has been, according to the report of the Sec re tar v of the Treasury, almost destroyed, and, according tc Northern journals, native commerce is on the road to extinguishmenL For the last six years thc commerce of tbe United States has fallen behind that of Great Britain fully fifty per cent., and con? tinues to recede year by year. The following statement of the Secretary gives confirmation to this assertion and begins to awaken undisguLjed alarm : The tonnage of American vessels engaged in the foreign carrying trade which entered United States ports was Tons. In I860.6.921,205 jDjgM.2,948,661 In 1866.S.372,090 The tonnage of such vessels which were cleared from the United States was In 1860.6,16&?924 ??

J The foregoing has-been published in several of the journals of the country, both North and South. The ruin to ship building and the decay in commerce is erroneously attributed to the late war, and not as it should be to a high tariff, excessive and oppressive, unequal, u?jrst and odious. Now that eighteen months have elapsed since the close of the war, and there has been ample time for recuperation, why should "ship building in the United States be nearly destroyed, or native commerce be on the road to extinguishment, so that ere long we shall cease to be a commercial power "? The following, in strong contrast, from" a late number of the English Mercantile Times, explains the secret, and should open the eyes of the people,-the workingmen and mechanics es? pecially (of the North, of courte), to thc ruin? ous policy of protection. It exhibits the true and unmistakable causes of British commercial and naval progress, and in the opposite policy of the United States, the causes of the decay in her commerce and shipping.
