THE VOYAGE FROM FERROL TO THE THAMES.

(From tie Lond Stan lard. )

The Celebrated Egyptian obleisk, which was presented to George IV. in 1820 by Melemet Ali, has at last, after many vissi-

Deck, Mr. Du Plat Taylor, the Secretary of the East and West India Dock Company,

having offered a friendly shelter to the cyl- inder ship free from all charges.

The abandonment of the obleisk Cleo- patra, in the Bay of Biscay, by the steam- ship Olga, after losing a boat's crew of six

the Cleopatra's crew, took place on Oct. 15. The Cleopatra was found the following day by an outward bound steamer, the Fitz- maurice, and taken into Ferrol on Oct. 18. Here she remained until the morning of Tuesday, the 15th ult., the last three” weeks of the stay being oceupied with refitting and adjusting ballast, under the supervision of her original commander, The ballast, con- sisting of railway iron, was secured by being buiit down into the ship, so as to form an mtegral part of the structure. A new mast and sails were provided, but the water-tight compartments were found to be_perfecily secure, and on arriving at Gravesend the Captain remarked that there was ‘‘not enough water sippel to fill a wine glass.”

ing of the 16th, in tow of the Anglia, an excellent run was made, the Needles being passed at 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and Dungeness about 10 o’clock on Sunday morning. The two vessels arrived without accident or incident at the Chapman Light by 10 o’clock at night, where the tug-boat anchored, the Cleopatra hanging astern by tow-rope. There was a steady breeze ail night, and in the morning a start was made for Gravesend, the latter place being reach- ed shortly before 11 o’clock. Here Mr. and Mr. Dixon went on board and congratulated the Captains of the two vessels upon their safe arrival. The custom house officers next boarded and proceeded to clear the vessels, which being completed, the anchor ot the Anglia was raised, and the Cleopatra cast off from the buoy to which she had been moored procisely at 12.59,

The news having spread that the obelisk Was coming up the river, at nearly every wharf and pier crowds were gathered, who enthusiastically cheered as the ships passed. The various training ships exchanged the compliment of dipping their flags, the boys of the Chichester manning yards.

Some time had to elapse before the obe- lisk could be placed in the Hast India Dock, as a large outward-bound steamer was being towed through the dock gates, but the road once clear she was brought round by the tug, and a hawser being passed ashore, no time was lost in berthing her in one of the inner basins. A goodly gathering of friends of Mr. Dixon was assembled on the pier, and, on that gentleman landing, he was overwhelmed with congratulations.

The peculiar construction of the Cleopatr: cylinder, which is about ninety-two feet in length and sixteen feet in diameter, makes it appear smaller than it really is, especially asitis more than two-thirds submerged. In appearance it resembles a huge Cornish boiler, with small deck house and mast.

Or the recent adventures of the Northern Light, the Chignecto Post says :—‘‘it soon became evident that the boat was powerless. She struck at the ice, but made no more effect than pebbles against a sione wall. The Captain soon recognized the disagree- able fact that his vessel was securely anch- ored in the ice, and he ordered out an ice boat, with a crew. The passengers observed the crew toil along until they reached the shore. The second boat was ordered out, baggage and mails placed in, and the pas-

‘comes to us, vouched fur by a clergyman, to | the following effect: .\ member of a firm in Kngland, having an agcacy at Hamilton, Ont, being desirous of sending one of their represents atives to Canada ona prospecting tour, - wrote to their agents at Hamlton stating that they intended sending Mr..——————- to this country, who would arrive at Quebec on a certain day, and would they be kinc. eyough to send ® con; veyance to meet him’? Another story comeff from the same source that our informant, mak- ing inquiry ata shipping office at Liverpool to know what reduction they would make in the railroad fare between Portland and Montreal j aad Halifax and Montreal, and was much as- tonished on being told the distance was much about the same, and no reduction could be made between them, Another English getle- man, zealous in good works, was equally as- tonished to find that an Indian massacre in Canada had been unheard of for years. He thought that the British Government sent

The Late George Cruikshank.

George Cruikshank, the © celebrated English earicaturist, who died in London on Friday, was probably better known to the past gener- | ation than to ¢he present. He was néarl eighty-six yeara of age. he supplied caricatures to nearly all the pub- lishers of pictorial works in England. *He produced a series of plate® to illustrate Life in jun London, which attained great popularity and was dramatized by Monteriff and others, ' It was-followed by life in Paris, and another seriel entitled the Humorist. Among the nore celebrated cf his ludicrous productions are ‘* Mornings at Bow Street,”’ ‘* Punch and Judy,” ‘‘ Scraps and Sketches,” ‘‘ My Sketch Book,” and the plates in Sketches by Boz, in Oliver Twist, in Jack Shepperd, in the Tower of London, in Windsor Castle; illustrations to the British Novelists, the Waverley Novels, Sir W. Scott's Letters on Domonology, &c. In 1512 appeared the first number of Cruikshank’s Onmnibus. He was always bappy in his pie. tures of “Jack Tars.” His series of eight printsy entitled *‘The Bottie’ had eminent success and was dramatized at eight theatres in London at one time. Cruikshank has turned his attention to oil painting, a branch of art in which he has far educated himself as to make his pictures sought after by connoisseurs, The general tendency of this art hss been largely interest of virtue.

Turkish Bonds.

lioa pounds in Turkish bonds held in England. They are held by speculators and gamblers, A steady-going security like Canadians at 104 per cent. takes time to push on the market, but Turks offered at 55 per cent. go like hot cakes, simply because they offer a large margin on which to build castles in the air. People who buy a stock at 55 should be quite as well prepared to see it go down to 1) per cent. as to see it advance to par, and have no business quarrelling with their fortune should it so turn out, Still leas business has the nation to

to war for the protection of those who have taken such wild risks. No wonder the news- papers of England, that hailed the hope of peace, were publicly burned on the Stock Ex. change. These brokers and gambling clients are largely the promoters of the war feeling in England. Betwesn two and three hundred millions is an awful amount to contemplate the loss of. England’s Indian empires, &c., &c., is all very fine ; what these people are re in, like Shylock, is to have their yond.

England would, perhaps not really be much the poorer if all of them were cleaned out,— Montreal Witneee.

acti tetenbe~ a: Lie Marriage =e recessed Wife's ister.

In the British House of Commons, on the 18th ult., Mr, Knatchbull Hugessen asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether any colonies which have passed bills for legalizing marriage witha deceased wife's sister, since 1874, have forwarded the same for Her Majesty's sanction ; and if so, if he

| would specify the names of such colonies, the

| dates at which such bills were received, and | the dates at whieh such sanction (if any) was igiven, or the reason for delay. Mr. Lowther

| said since 1574. Bills for legalizing marriage ,

| with a deceased wife’s sister had been for- ‘warded from New South ‘and Western Australia. The New South | Wales Bill was received in September, 1875 lanl Her Majesty’s assent was communicated

jin December, The Queensland Bill was re-

Those recomimedations being forwarded tothe colony, an amended Bill reached this country in October last, and lis now under the consideration of the law ' officers.
