“The Times” on Canada.

‘Tae highest authority” on Canadian affxirs has not, it appears, contented him- self with merely enlisting in behalf of Can- ada. the services of the Premier of Great Britain. He has apparently been mapipu- lating the London Times ; for, froma a strenuous opponent of Canadion interests, the Times has lately become a vigorous as- sistant. The Times does not advocate any measure of wholesale emigration from Eng- land, but it says: ‘‘ our fellow-countryime! who are discontented with their Ict, whi have a practical knowledge of farming, who possess a little capital, and who are resolved to emigrate, will do well to enquire whether the prairie lands of Canada are not superior in some respects to those of the United States.” And it speaks highly of the agri- cultural capabilities of Manitoba and the

North West.

The Credit of St. John.

Tue “Sun” is severe on those politicians who are just now crying down the credit of St. John. Itsays that the business men of that city maintain ‘ that the business of our city is generally healthy—in fact, hea! their than it has been for some time. The: affirm that the general standing of our mer- chants is good both at home and abroad. They have no patience with the spleen and yenein which spares neither the reputation of the city, nor the honor of its merchants, when some party or political aim is to be accomplished. ”

The Breadalbane Fire.

A rustic MEETING of the inhabitants. of Breadalbane and vicinity was held in Breacalbane Hall, on Tuesday, the 11th inst., to take into consideration the best method of detecting the person or persons who feloniously set fire to the mills, dwell ng house and barn of John Gillis, on the morning of Ostober 31st; and the mills and dwelling house of Charles Murray, the warehouse and dwelling house of James Holmes, and the dwelling house of Charles Stewart, at an early hour en the morning ef Tuesday, 4th inst. The meeting being largely attended, shewed how the feelings of the people was aroused in the matter. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that the fires were the work of an incen. diary. The following resolution was movec by Malcolm Matheson, seconded by John A. MecNevin, and carried unanimously :—

Whereas, in view of the diabolical actions of incendiaries which resulted in the burn

. ing aod destroying of so much valuable

roperty here ; also Mr. John Gillis’ mills rom similar cause last year, which causes much uneasiness as to the insecurity of life and property in this village.

Reeolved, That the sum of Three Hundred Dollars be offered by the inhabitants of this village as a reward for such information as will lead to the detection and conviction oi the person or persons who set fire to all or any of the afore-mentioned buildings, and trust that the Government of the Island will further supplement the said reward.

Resolved Further, That this meeting sympathize with the sufferers in their loss.

At the close of the meeting a subscription list was opened and the above sum of $300 subscribed.

Moved, seconded and carried unanimous ly that the report of this meeting be sent to all the Island papers for publication.

A Meteoric Shower To-morrow.

ee

Astronomical writers contidently predict a brilliant meteoric shower about one v’clock to-morrow morning, when the con- stellation Leo rises, towards which the earth on her orbit is then flying. The bril- liant meteoric shower that occurs on the 13th of November is repeatedly recorded in ancient and modern history, especially by the Arabs, who in Arabia, Egypt, Morocco and Spain lived under. a less clouded sky than the people of Northern Europe. The first grand phenomenon of a meteoric shower which attracted attention in mod- ern tiines was that of November 15th, 1879. Humbolt, then travelling in South Am- erica, thus speaks of it :—‘‘ Towards the morning of the 13th November, 1799, we witnessed a most extraordinary scene of shovtiag meteors. Thousands ef bodies and falling stars succeeded each other dur- ing four hours. Their direction was very regular from nerth to south. From the beginning of the phenomenon there w 3 not a space in the firmament equal in extent to the three diameters of the moon which was not filled every instant with bodies of fall- ing stars.” In Canada in 1814 and 1819 the stellar showers were noticed ; and an especially brilliant display took place in Ohio, Nov. 13th, 1831. This was followed bo similar showers in 1832 and 1833, the latter being most inrposing in South Carol- ina, where the ignorant blacks were throw: into the utmost consternation. Meteoric showers were observed in France on Nov. 13th, 1836, and in Groat Britain

el ye oem ae, are

oer ? ee OST en ene

on Nov. 13th 1837, In the November of of 1838 at the same date falling stars were abundant at Vienna. Since 1731, obser- vations taken in the United*States have ‘urther established the regular occurrence of these showers on November 13th.

The ‘‘ Tiger”

Betow is an extract from Capt. McNeill’s letter io John A. MeLaine, Esq., from St. John’s, Newfoundland. in speaking of the fearful gale of the 28th ult., he says :—

‘‘No person can describe the fury of the gale. If the ‘‘Tiger” had not been a good vessel she would not have lived through it at all. At 2 a. m. on Wednesday we laid her to under a double reefed foresail and a amall bit of the mainsail. At 10 a. m. it ilow a hurricane; had te haul down the oresail. At 12 e’clock, noon, she was fairly on her beam ends, the water running down companion and forecastle doors ; it was a hard job to get them secured. We knocked some plank off the bulwarks, after which she righted a little. At 2 p. m., shipped a sea which broke main boom and carried away one of our water casks and shifted all the cargo to leeward. She then lay right in. We did all that could be done and left the rest to Him who rules all. At Sp. m., gale moderating. Thursday evening we were able to take oif hatches and shift cargo.

Lll hich Recife alg <p mebensiiuitibs ‘‘Tuey robbed me, a poor hard-workin’ s oanedl of my gin, they did, the dirty black- guards,” said an old woman passing along the east-end of Grafton street,last might. Our informant, in questioning her on the matter, learned that she had been returning to her home, at the east-end, after working all day, and had with her a pint of ‘‘Old Tom.” While passing one of the street corners she was set upon by two roughs, who seized her gin and ran off. She lamented the loss by using the above expression during her journey home. — ee ne COMMERCIAL NEWS. THE CATTLE TRADE.

Thero is still a fair demand for good shipping cattle at from 3 c. to 4} c. per lb, live weight, 2c. to 3} being paid by buteh- ers. Alderman McShane, M. P.

Texas 120 head of good cattle for Liverpool, which will be taken on board at Quebec to-day. The S. S. Dominion will also take on board 210 cattle and about 700 sheep for Liver- pool. Advices from England are favorable ‘or the export of both cattle and sheep from here At the New York live stock markets on Wednesday last 627 Canada sheep weigh- ing from 73 to 128 lbs. each, were sold at from 4c. to 5c. per lb., and 1029 Canada lambs weighing 72 to 81 lbs. each, at 5} to )} cents.— Montreal Gazette.

The Former ‘Hrapress of Mexico.”

‘Poor Carlotta’ has come to her reason again. The prisoner of Chillon withed to return te his dungeon again. Perhaps this poor lady may for a time wish to return te unreason ence more. What has become of the world she left when ‘‘God shut the doorways of her head” to ordinary knowl. edgo ! Where is the French Empire? Where the French Emperor? Where the Prince Imperial? Where the hopes of these who sent her husband off on that fatal ex- expedition. Such a disaster as it was— ‘‘failure crowning failure ; failure from end tu end !” Riot and revolution, oft renewed since then, have almost effaced the memory of the brave Emperor of Phantoms who stood up in the cool of the July morning to take his death shot from tle guns ef men who were the de- scendants of the Aztics; but nothing can ever efface from the history of the second Empire that sad and disastrous chapter, nor release the memory of the French Em peror from the stain which attaches to him for neglect of the man whom he promoted to assassination in Mexico.

Parrick CAVANAGH was arrested early this morning on charge of stealing a ladics’ ulster and a gentleman’s overcoat from the residence of Mr. George Coombs on Water Street. The ulster was found in his mother’s house. It was ideutified by Mr. Coombs as his wife's. Cavanagh told a young man named Reid that he brought it with him from Liverpool. He also said he had an overcoat, but that Michael Began took it from him. Peter McGuigan was seen wearing the coat, which answered to the description of: the one stolen from Mr. Coombs. McGuigan, Began and two others, named Francis McLeod and Angus McLeod, also mxied upin the larceny, were arrested. Cavanagh was sentenced to six months’ with hard labor, and the others were remanded for further examination.
