A Papat consistory will be held to-morrow, the 27th inst.

Ir is rumored that Sir Arthur Layard, am- bassador to Turkey, will shortly be raised to the peerage.

A Lonpon cable says James Ballantyne Hanney has successfully experimented in the making of diamonds.

Tue losses of the farmers ef the United Kingdom during 1879 are estimated at from £100,000 to £150,000.

Sir G. Coiuty has been appointed to sue- ceed Sir Garnet Wolsely in the command of the treops in South Africa.

Cuicace has eight Reformed Episcopal churches and ten clergymen of that denomina- tioa. Christ Church and St. Paul’s, the two principal parishes, each own property worth — $75,000 to $100,000, and are free from

Ir the whole territory of the United States were settled like New York, it would contain 270,000,000, if like Massachusettes 560,000,- 000, and if it reached England’s ratio of in- habitants to the square mile, its population would almost equal the present population of the globe.

On enquiry at the Union Bank, as to the truth of a statement which appeared in the Patriot, we learn, from the Manager, that the Bank has not, for the past two years, purchased a single cent from the Local Government. Statements which appear in the Patriot are beginning to be regarded as ‘‘not worth a cent.”

THE misery and distress which new exists, and has been paramount during this winter, in the poorer districts of London, are without a parallel, and the clergymen in these neigh- borhoods are universal in their expression of sympathetic sorrow in being comparatively helpless in relieving such a state of atfairs as daily and hourly comes ender their immediate notice.

SzveRaL windows in the Unien Bank building were broken last night—probably by some brawlers who wanted to havea fling at something. Itis past belief that persons (at large) would be so mad as to at- tempt insuch a way to break infor the purpose of stealing. The damage done amounts to about $50. The police are on the track of the rascals.

One of the mest extraordinary cases en re- cord is reported in Ottawa. It appears that Mr. Adams, who keeps a grocery on Sparks street, some seven or eight months ago re- ceived ashock during a thunder and light- ning storm, which so upset his nervous system that he found it impossible to obtain natural rest. A @nareotic was administered, whieh caused him to sleep for three days continuous- ly. Since that time strange as it may appear, he has not slept a wink, and a remarkable feature in connection with the case ia that he is able to move about as usual. His medical men are puzzled and have resorted to all kinds of treatment to secure sleep. Itis said Mr. Adams will shortly go to England, in the hope that a change of air will have the desired effect.

Wrestiine Marcn.—lIt is seldom that Charlottetewn is favered with en athletic exhibition of any note ; but on Tuesday an event took place whieh will doubtless create surprise in the athletic world. Grafton street was the scene of a wrestling match between a sturdy yeoman and a stout charger of the “Old Frenchman” breed. The mateh, our readers will not be sur- prised to learn, came off aecidentally. The charger had been tied at the north side ef Market Square. By some means he slipped off his bridle, and trotted off eastward en Grafton street. Our hero pursued, but as the herse was not bridled, he could net be stopped without a supreme effort. Jump- ing to the fore, our hero threw his arms around the charger’s neck and brought him to a stand still. The charger was restless. He sprung right arid left, but eur hero held en. No assistance was offered by the mul- tiude of spectaters and the charger had every appearance ef victory, but our hero, by and admirable trip, laid the stout charger on his side, and holding him in that pesition, bridled him with the air of a victorious gladiator Applause frem the multitude followed.

Ancient Stewart's Royal Race, Adorned thy cross, O Aberdeen ! To them all others must give place ; All others yet that I have seen.

Surrounded by the Don and Deo, Thy city, Aberdeen, doth staud ! The rivers run intil the sea ! The town remaineth on the land !

On a tombstone in Elgin Cathedral ground,

‘*Here lyeth the bodies of John Burgess, Glover, of Elgin, and of Issobel MacRean, his spouse.

Life is a city full of streets,

And death is the Mercat whar all men meets.

If life war a thiug that money could buy,

The poor could not live, and the rich would not die.

The English Press on the Winter Palace Explosion.

The attempt on the Czar’s life was the all- absorbing topic in the London journals on last week. ‘The details in regard to the affair are meagre, in consequence of the vigi- lant supervision of the Russian despatches. The Zismes commenting on the attempted as- sassination of the Czar speaks of the Russian autocrat in terms of high praise, and considers him worthy of the sympathy and confidence ef the Russian people. It says the severest measures should be taken to crush all couspi- racies, but expressed the hope that, neverthe- less, there may be gradual reforms in the Rus- sian government. The Standard.says no amount of misgevernment ean justify the fiendish though futile plots which have formed the horrible recompense for the Emperor's generous iutententions. The Duily Telegraph believes the remedy for the troubles of Russia lies with her rulers. The Pall Mall Gazette, in its editorial, says:—‘‘The Czar has for months beem living besieged in his own pal- ace, Hisvery bed has been guarded. Yet murder finds means to enter and strike its blow. The greater marvel is that the act pre- supposes complete knowledge ef the Ozar's daily habits, and that, nevertheless, the con- spirators did net omit fifteen minutes to in- sure the destruction of their victim, The news has caused even a greater sensation than might be expected. The feeling is one of horror, amounting to stupefaction, the expla- nation lying iu the utter recklessness of the attempt, and the complete indifference to the number of lives sacrificed provided the mur- derers reached théiraim. The fact is obvious that even within the walls of his own house the Czar’s life ia unsafe. It is for the Czar to choose whether or not he will remain at his post. If he does it seems scarcely doubtful that the attempts on his life will continue. No remedy is more ridiculously inadequate than the promulgation ef constitutional re- forms.*One might as well ‘attempt to atay the it of of wolves by throw- ing out bundles of fodder. Only one thing will arrest the wolves ef Nihilism—abdica- tion, The dilemma is inexorable. The Ozar is threatened with destruction as a man, and the threats will contimue until he consents, by his own act, to destroy himself as a ruler,”

A Great Enterprise.

A petition has been presented to the Crown Land Office by a Company for the lands covered by Lake Ainslie, Inverness County, C. B.—some 18 square miles. An engineer who has for some time been en- gaged surveying the Lake, has just ar- rived in this city from Cape Breton, and reports the feasibility of draining the Lake and thus reclaiming about 18 square miles of as geod land as is to be found in any part of the Dominien. The water is shoal, and the bottom has been found to be re- markably level, and will make splendid meadow land. The lake empties into the South West Branch of the Margaree River, and it is proposed to cut a cana! some 40 50 feet wide, commencing several miles down the Margaree River, which will carry the water from the lake out to the sea. It would take about two years to complete the work, during which a large number of men would be employed. The Company make the petition in virtue of the Act of 1879, which authorizes the Government to grant lands covered by water to any parties that would undertake to reclaim them. This enterprise, if carried eut, will preve of im- mense advantage te the ownere of land in the vicinity (whe have manifested their in- terest by petitioning the Government to grant the lands te this company), as well as te the Prevince at large. It will make magnificent stock farms, and being so near the seaboard, it ia hoped will stimulate Cape Breten farmers to raise cattle for ex- port, instead of allowing Ontarie to mon- epolize that business, and bring them some 1200 to 1500 by rail for shipment from Halifax. It is estimated that the cost of reclaiming this land will be underf$200,000

—a permanent investment that will yield handsome returns. The Company are man- ifesting a great deal of enterprise, and deserve success. Operations will commence immediately after the grant of the land hy the Governor in Council.—Hzx. Herald.
