Ir is with sincere regret that we have to re- cord the death of Mr. J. P. Oxley, which took place at his residence, Harrington Street, on June 3. Mr. Oxley was a native of Prince Edward Island, arrived here with a party of sttiers from that colony about thirty years i and at once established a manufactory of blocks, pumps and other shipping appliances. his business was subsequently amalgamated with that of his sons,Messrs. J. and D. Oxley, ship-chandlers of the Queen Street wharf. Mr. Oxley was of a genial kindly disposition, and no man was better known or more per- sonually popular in shipping circles. Except for an affection of the sight which produced partial blindness, he enjoyed very good health until recently. He was 68 years of age. In token of reapect for the memory of the deceas- ed all vessels in port hoisted their flags half- mast high. The funeral took place on June 4

Lonpon, July 24.

In an interview to-day on the subject of the Irish land bill, Mr. William O’Brien said the first effect would be to destroy the majority of landlords in Ireland. The next effect would be to destroy the Govern- ;ment, which had _ purchased office with voncessions destructive to the Conservative party. After a bitter struggle of six months the ministry had adopted Parnell's bill, and it was the plan of cam- paign that had forced them to pursue the present course.
