Something over a year ago he invented a portable seat for carriages, which bas met with great favor among carriage Makers and others who have seen it, His carriage took first prize at the St, John Exhi- bition. He has since invented a pitchfork Whign supersedes any other of the kind, and We should say will soon take the place of those in use. It also took first prize at the Truro and St. John Exhibitions. It is oalled the Ceutennial Fork.

Jenkins, from New London, Springfield and Charlottetown, have presented him as atoken of their esteem and sympathy with a very superior gold chrono- graph.

THe Times’ London despatch says:—Before the arrest of Brecken and Holmes at Halifax the Government at London was warned that Irish- Americans from New York were plotting to blow up with dynamite the British corvette Canada with Prince George of Wales on board, which was lying in Halifax harbor. The Government at once instructed the Halifax authorities to keep a strict watch on the corvette.

A CORRESPONDENT at West River states that ‘serious damage was done to the West River Bridge, on Saturday last, by the schr. Marie Georgiana. By the carelesseess of the master of the vessel, the new work done on the bridge this sumwer has been so injured that it will cause the stripping up of that part of the bridge, thus causing a loss to the Gov- ernment, as well as serious inconvenience to the public. The master of the vessel, who seems to he one of the ‘‘do-as-I-please” gentry, should be madc to pay the full extent of dam- ages, and be a warning to others, that they cannot, with impunity, destroy an expensive public work and place the burden of repairs on the Government.” We trust our energetic Commissioner of Public Works will at once attend to this matter.

Jounny Haron, who became prominent in this city as a destructive young fire-bug, and who was sent for safe keeping to the Found- ling’s Home in Boston, has been heard from. He has not got over his love for big blazes. He likes to make them still, and were his last attempt at incendiarism not discovered in

time, the consequences would have been horrible. In the Found’ing’s Home a few weeks ago, he set fire’ to

his bed cloths. The fire was promptly ob- served and extinguished. Had it taken root in the Jormatory and spread even slowly to other parts there is little doubt that the build- ing and a large number of the children who are kept there would have been c»nsumed. Johnny was brought to task for his attempted incendiarism, and ia reply to the question, “What did you db it for?’ said'he did not care foxy the ‘Home; he wanted to go to the penitentiary. We have not heard what punishment the governors of the home have inflicted on the young fiend, or whether they have decided to send him back to Charlottetown, If he shoyld be sent back it would be well for the Civic authorities

to receive him on arrival and send him to safe

quarters.

Among the villages destroyed by the earthquake in the Grecian Archipelago and Anatolia, were Katopania, Reis, Dere, and Lidja, the latter celebrated for its baths. Slight shocks are still felt in the Island of Chios. The British Admiral has sent assist- ance to Chesme and Chios.

The Quarterly Review contains an import- ant paper by Lord Salisbury, in which he reviews the successive consessions made to Ireland by various British Parliaments in 1782, 1829 and 188]. His conclusion is that it is a disgraceful record, showing that the spirit of democracy has always con- trolled the relations between England and Ireland,

One hundred and fifty Annamite convicts, erecting a lighthouse on thejIsland of Poolo Carndor, 120 miles east of Point Cambodia, and belonging to French Cochin China, mutinied, murdered a Frenchman and a native warden, and seriously injured an- other Frenchman. Sixty of them seized arms and stores and decamped in _ boats. The rest fled to the woode.

A correspondent of the London Standard says that the voyage from Liverpool to New York could be reduced to four and one half days by the construction of a deep water canal from Dublin to Galway on the Shannon. An ordinary canal, which might be utilized for the purpose, already exists between the latter and the Irish capital. The cost of deepening and widening it would be comparatively small, and no engineering difficulties are presented by the character of the country. The journey round the south coast of Ireland would, he says, thus be avoided, and a great saving of expense and time effected.

A Cork despatch says that several roughs assembled outside the hall in which Moody was holding his revivals, and made an at- tempt to interfere. The police guard the hall nightly. Mvody’s mission at Limerick was & success.

High tides and severe gales prevail on the British coasts, and numerous marine casual- ties are reported. The Severn tunnel is again flooded. Vessels arriving in the Mersey report they experienced terrible weather. Limerick is partially flooded.

A Dublin despatch states that Miss Ellen Ford, of New York, sister of Patrick Ford, of the Irish World, spent the day in visiting the families of Invincibles who have been punished for crimes committed by order of that organization. Tosuch as were in need of assistance she gave money which had been confided to her in America for the purpose. She also handed to the solicitor of Pool, who is charged with the murder of Kenny, in Saville Place, two years ago, a large fund, which had been collected in the United States to defray the expenses of his defence.

At the Liberal conference on Thursday, at Leeds, a resolution was adopted declaring that any attempt to secure the representa- tion of mincrities by the enactment of special Jaws is a violation of the princi- ples of popular representative government. A resolution by Sir Wilfrid Lawson, M. P. condemning the action of the Commons in refusing a seat to Bradlaugh, and favoring the abolition of parliamentary oaths was adopted unanimously with cheers. After the adoption of resolutions in favor of shortening the time required for the quali- fication of voters, extending the hours for polling votes, and making the constituencies pay the expenses of elections, the con- ference appointed a deputation to convey the resolutions to Mr. Gladstone, and ad- journed.

At a meeting of Liberals held in Leeds town hall, Mr. John Bright, who presided, said it was absolutely necessary if any pro- gress was to be made in parliamentary re- form, that the question of suffrage should be-dealt with first in a separate bill.
