AFFAIRS IN ICELAND,

A recent despatch from Copenhagen says: *'The maii has just arrived from Iceland, and the new- brought from this country is unusually cheering, the fisheries haying been very successful, while the disease which during the last two and twenty years had ravaged the sheep has apparently disappeared. Only about 60 Icelanders had emigrated to the new colony in Canada during the present year, and it is thought that the emigration is now Virtually at an end.”

ENGLISH LABOR MARKET.

Tbe position of the labor ma‘et in Eng- land is eminently unsatisfactory. A great strike among agricultural laborers in the

eastern counties is expected early next month. A Birmingham paper of the 3rd says on all sides there are idustrial re- volts of a wholly mistaken and pernicious character—ievolts which infl ct heavy losses on the workingmen in the present, and must permanently affect them by discour

aging the employment of capital in the future. The late futile Bolton strike is stated to have entailed a loss of £100,000 on the operatives of that town. It is pro bable that even tho-e figures do not ade quately represent the loss to the employ- ers. A trustworthy return from Greenock sets down the sum of $312 000 as the loss in wages during the Clyde lock-out, whilst £156,000 was spent from trades’ union sources to sustain the men. In the iron districts there is complete stagnation and great distress. On the 2nd three valuable iron properties in the Cleveland district, three blast furnaces at Middlesborough, and five at Darlington were put up at auce tion, the result of recent failures, but withdrawn, the bids being ridiculously sraall,

DUKE OF NORFOLE’S WEDDING.

A London correspondent writes: “ It has been surmised that the intended bride of the Duke of Norfolk must have become a convert to the Roman faith asa conse.

quence of her alliance with the chief re-~*

presentative of the Catholic aristocracy in this country. This assumption is erroneous ard unjust. Of course it was not imagined that the Duke could have forsaken the

ancient faith of his ancestors in order to]:

ally himself with a Protestant wife, for the force of family tradition is too strong on his side, and it was certain he could not espouse a heretic without causing a paina- ful shock to Catholic Christendom, ! am informed that Lady Flora Hastings was re- ceived into the Church of Rome about two years ago, and that the Duke of Norfolk was not at that time a suitor for her hand. The match was made quickly. The Duke met Lady Floraa few months ago, anda proposal of marriage resulted immediately. lhe wedding preparations are remarkably sumptuous. The Norfolk family jewels, which are of immense valne, are being re- set for the young duchess, The Sheffield tenantry are arranging to send 4 very handsome wedding preseat to the bride.”

~ HOLDING ALOOF.

At a numerously attended conference of clergymen and laymen, held at Glasgow to consider the question of ho!ding aloof from

Church connectien, the Rev. David Rus- sel stated the following objections which he conceived working men were in the habit of stating in defence or explanation of their not atiending divine ordinances, to wit, that while they heard much about Christian fellowship from members of the churches, yet they saw very little of it in their conduct and actions; that their chief enemy was intoxicating drink, stil there vere no men more opposed to the total sbstinence movement than ministers; that from Ahe discussions On essuntial doctrines of Christiani'y which proceeded, they were in doubt as to whether ministers believed what they preached on the Sabbath; that Sabbath school teachers were not trained as totheir work, and the children were not properly taught, that the church seat rents were too high, and that is. 6d. per head was sufficient to charge annually, the balance being made up from vo'!untary contributions; that they were puzzied by the references which were madein the pulpit and the objections stated to sciens tific men; that ministers, while dwelling on points of doctrine and the Jews, ignor. ed present toils and cares; that society was being divided into classes. and ministers generally sided with the moneyed capital- ixt; that competent men shuuld be ap- pointed to preach in the open air, where working men could be reached; and that and that the charge of infidelity made against workingmen was not justified by the facts of the case.

The circulating medium of the St. Do- mingo is now brass buttons. They are made ata New York button factory, the manufacture and metal in one bondred thousand of them being worth £2,000. The people at first refused to take them, but the Government promptly ordered the arrest of the unpatriotic and the buttons are now in fair slanding, financially.

Gattanr Rescue. — The Anchor Line steamer Devonia, which arrived in the Clyde yesterday, had on board the ship- wrecked crew of the steamer Zeolite, of Dublin. The Zeolite sailed {rom Labrador for Naples on the 19th ult., with a cargo of fish. She encountered heavy weather, and on the 20th had to heave to; and sev. eral tremendous seas carried away a quan» tity of gear. Un the 2Cth a heavy gale snapped several of the stays and carried away the foretopmast. Before the wreck could be cleared away the foremast broke below the deck, tearing away with it a large portion of thedeck. The Devonia, shortly aiter this, bore down upon the Zeolite, which by this time was fast sink. ing. Mr. Allen, chie/ officer of the Dex vonia, and a boat’s crew went off and res- cued the Zeolite’s crew, seven in number. at considerable risk, owing to tbe high sea that wasrunning. Ali the Zeolite’s boats bad been smashed or catried away. The rescue was mad¢ amidst the imtense ex- citement of the Devonia’s passenger-. The rescued are now in the Sailor's Home,
