JULY 9, 1879.

The Ferry Service.

Tue state of the present Ferry Wharf, and the recent mishapjto the Southport, are matters which naturally give rise to com-

lhe communication between the

ment. capital and a large section ef the Island should be as complete as possible. It

serves the trade of both town and country. That the state’ of the Hillsborongh ferry is far ahead of what it was fifty years ago, we all know Then a woed canee-—dug out from a pine tree—was the ferry conveyance for passengers, and horses fastened to its stern had to swim the river. The woman who missed passage hailed the ferry- man from either side. The Indian was commodore of the light, tiny bark canoe, and still holds that naval position. Our rivers, shores and bays were dotted with boats which carried the people and their produce to market. At convenient points

mah or

men and women assembled to wait for a passage, and all were ready to tug

at the oar er do their share in bailing ‘‘the boat.” Light-heartedness, Jamaica, and song relieved mamy a pull against wind and tide. Even Warl Selkirk, 73 years ago, when settling his land here, had to depend on the canee for communication between Charlottetown and Belfast. Now steamers and packets in our rivers and bays and around our coasts are “‘the order of the day.” The old team beat still lives in the public recollection, as do also the Pochontas, St. George, The Rose, Lady Leuarchant, and the Fairy Queen. While bidding these pas- senger and mail carriers a long farewell, we can peint with pride to the Prince Edvard, St. Lawrence, Princess of Wales, Heather Belle, Elfin Southport, Henry Aitkin, Winnie, Montague, and Jennie B., axa steam fleet creditable to Prince Edward Island. But my present subject is the Hillsborough Ferry wharves.

That the wharves need repair, all admit ; though, probably, the work cannot be undertaken this season. They were built toe narrow at first; anda good deal of money has been expended on them, but the traflic they carry is immense. If the present plank sidewalks were taken up, it would make the carriage-way no wider than is needed. Ten feet in width might be added on the east side, by laying down a platform on piles, and that weuld suffice for ‘* foot passengers.” A good, cheap, safe dock might be made on the same side, by dredging tive flats in from the channel, and have a block connecting and at right angles with the pr--ent wharf. We are cenfident the Dominion Railway Department would, for a nominal sum, rent the part of their water frontage so required, as was dene in the case of a portion of the Barracks fer a Poor House. A similar widening is needed at Southport, and for the same reason. ‘There, perhaps, the shipping would push the passengers’ way to the west side of the wharf.

The Canadian Mission.

In the House of Commons, on the 19th ult., as already mentioned by cable, Mr. John Bright asked the Secretary of State for the colonies if it was true that a depu- tation consisting of members of the Cana- dian Government was coming to England to ask her Majesty’s Government for a loan, or the guarantee ef a loan, for the purpose of constructing the Pacific railway ; and if so whether it was coming in consequence

of communications between her Majesty’s Government and the Government of Canada. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, in reply, sail he had received from Lord ! Lorne a copy of 14 resulutions which had been adopted in the Dominion House of Commons with reference to the Pacific railway. (me of these resolutions was to the following effect :—‘* That in view of the importance of keeping good faith with Brit- ish Colum}ia and completing the consolida- tion of the federation of the provinces of British North America, and _ for the purpose of extending relief to the unemploye! working classes — (hear, hear, frou: Mr. Bright)—and afford- ing them permanent homes on Britis): soil, and in view of the national character of the undertaking, the Government of Canada is authorised and directed to use their best efforts to secure the co-operation of the Imperial Government in this great under- taking, and obtain their aid, by guarantee or otherwise, in the construction of this great national work.” ‘That was all he knew of the matter. The deputation was eertainly net coming in consequnce of any communication between Her Majesty’s Government and the Government of Can- ada, aud there had been no correspondence on the subject. seme > >

The latest telegraphic ad-

has been against him. vices from Zululand show that an advance was to be made by the Tugela column of the British army on the 20th June, and, as this column had less than sixty miles to traverse to reach Cetewayo's camp, it must have confronted that wily barbarian some days ago. The Tagela column was the one which was to advamce last of all, and its advance was to be rapid, because the coun. try through which it passed was of an un- healthy character. The other two columns, which by their junction became one, which were to converge on Cetewayo's fortress, from Utrecht and Conference Hill, were already onthe march some days before. More than 20,000 men under the British flag were advancing against Cetewaye in the last week in June. First there was the Coast column, which we have al- ready spoken of as the Tugela column. [ts route was from the mouth of the Tugela river in a line nearly due north to Ulundi, near which place the Zutu King is encamped. This Coast column, which is known as No. 1 Division, is under the com- mand of Major-General Crealock, an able and ready soldier. It consists of two bri- gades, the first under the command of Brigadier-General Pearson, the defender of Ekowe, and the second under Lieut.-Col.

Clarke, of the 57th regiment. Pearson’s brigade consists of the Bufls and the 88th aud 99th regiments. There is no regular cavalry attached to this command, but its place is supplied by the mounted infantry

under Major Barrew, which did such good work during the pursuit at Ginghilova, and a body of Colonial velunteers. There are also attached to this division two battaliens of Native Contingent, which are almost as useful as cavalry in a broken wooded dis- trict, and also a body of refugee Zulus under Mr. John Dunn. The Naval Con-| tingent is also attached to this force, with 24-lb. rocket tubes and Gatling guns,

and there is a full field battery of artillery

seven-pounders, besides twe seven-peund-

ers on mules, under Lieut. Lloyd.

The second division which is called the Headquarters division, is commanded by Major General Newdigate, and consists of two brigades under Brigadier General Wood and Col. Glynn. Wood’s brigade, which hitherto has been an independent flying one, forming one of the three columns marching against Ulundi, is now aligned with the other brigade and was to lead the advance. It consists of the 90th, 13th, and four companies of the 80th, with a cavalry force, the frontier Light Horse under Cel. Buller; the Mounted Infantry under Capt. Brown, and a ferce of mounted natives under Capt. Shepstone. There are also four guns attached to this column, which is intended still to act as a flying column, acting in unity with Glyn’s column, but oc- casionally independent of it.

Glynn’s column is much stronger than Wood’s, and consists ef the 21st, 28th, 94th and the Ist battalion of the unfortunate 24th Regiment. A very strong brigade of cavalry is attached to it, consisting of the 17th Lancers and King’s Dragoon Guarda, and for artillery there is a battery of 7 pounders. The base and communications of this force will be held by the 4th Regt., the 2nd Batt. of the 24th, and some irregu- lar cavalary. This Division would prob- ably join with the first Division at Emton- janeni, a point 16 miles distant from Cete- wayo’s Kraal, which was to be captured. Although the Zulu King is said in the des- patches, to occupy an impregnable position no one doubts that he will be speedily driven outof it when attacked by 20,000 British seldiers, and, if he only stands his ground and accept battle there, the war may be ended at a single blow. In ten days or thereabouts we should have great news frem Zululand and, unless Cetewayo is more fortunate than some other barba- rians who have defied British power, he will hardly survive the campaign. —St. John Telegraph.

Three Hundred Excursionists

Thrown into the Water.

A DOZEN DROWNED AND THIRTY INJURED. The pleasure boat Isaac Davis with 300 passengers on board, in making a trip on Lake Quenzigamond, near Worcester, Mass., on the 4th July, careened over at the pier throwing many passengersfinto the water. At the same time her upper deck crashed | through into the engine, breaking off the | safety valve and letting the steam escape. Again pitching, the steamer crashed into! the pier, cutting her to the water's edge. | All the passengers were thrown into the! water or crushed in the timbers. The list | of dead, so far as Known, are Patrick Cahill | aged about 50, and two daughters, aged 2) and 4 years, Louis Lachapelle, aged 30, and | Maggie Sugrue, aged 18. The injured are Emma Hemmenway, aged 20, McKenna, | Jeremiah Dean and wife, Saml. L. Gilbert. | The missing are Capt. Jessie Barker, | Edward Coture de Shell, and Lewis Powers t is thought that from eight to! twelve are killed and‘ twenty to thirty | injured. The boat was a new one and) launched on May first. She had accom-'| modatious for 450 passengers. | -_————— oe a

Ths Witc Saskatchewan Herald of Juv a ‘ust received, contains no reference to the rumored attack by Indians en Lient.-Gov- ernor Laird’s residence.

Only one hundred and fitty Indians 4: now encamped at Battleford, the remainder having removed to the plains. (reat desti- tution has prevailed, owing to the scarcity of buffalo, causing radical changes in the circumstances and condition of the Indians, who must be fed. The visit of plain In- dians has had a beneficial effect, as 1t has ‘ndicated how much better off are those who had previously gone on reserves and tilled the ground for their support than are their brethren who depended ou hunting and fishing and the aid of the Government. The visitors worked at chopping wood, so, by their own efforts, provided the means of support for themselves.. The “ Herald” says that the newly appointed Indian agents should be at their posts at once, as tliaely action will save a whole season’s work on the reserves, and this is very desirable in view of the present condition of the Indians. . It edi- torially speaks of the trying circumstances of the times, but beyond that makes no mention whatever of the threatened out- break, which is regarded as now improbable on account of temporary relief having been afforded to all the starving Indians.

Battleford advices to the 16th June say that Indian matters remain unchanged. A number of visiting redskins have returned home, and others are still supporting them- selves by cutting wood and fishing.

Lives Lost.

The comparative statement of the number of ‘ives lost from various causes on steamboats in the United States during the year ending June 30th, shows them to have been :—From fires 1; from collisions 12; from explosions 28; from snags, wrecks and sinking 51; from acci- dental drowning 8; from miscellaneous causes 5; total 105. The number of accidents result- ing in loss of life ashore were :—Explosions 8; fires 1; collisions 3; snags, wrecks and sinking 8; accidental drowning 6; miscellaneous 5; total 31. The-above shows a reduction of nearly 51 per cent. in the number of lives lost, and about 34 per cent. in the number of ac- cidents causing loss of life. The increased efficiency of the steamboat inspection service is better shown by the following comparative statement :—In 1875 the number of fives lost on steamboats was 6U7; in 1873, 304; in 1877,

294: in 1878, 212; and in 18739, 105, i ———- - ~

Newfoundland Fisheries.

tePoRTS from all parts of the Island*show the fisheries to be in a very satisfactory state. The export of fish amounts to 323,337 quin- tals from the lst January to lst July, against 202,682 for a corresponding period ‘of last year. Some very fine fish of the winter catch have recently been received from the western coast. “ Other exports for the same period have been 2,837 tuns seal oil, 791 tuns cod oil, 294,099 seal skins, 800 tierces of salmon and 3,513 barrels herring.

Cueapr [nsurance.—A subscriber at Nap- anee in remitting says :—‘‘ I insured my house in the Canada Agricultural Insurance Co. They burst, and I lost two years on one and three months on another policy. I then in- sured in the Ottawa Agricultural, and [ un- derstand now they have also reinsured their pelicies with the Watertown Agricultural In- surance Ce. Can you inform me in your next issue if] am insured or not? I really don’t know, and there are others in this section who are equally ignorant. Please inforin us, and oblige yours.’’— Monetary Vimes.

The above shows the absurdity of insuring in weak Canadian Companies, which secure most of their lfusiness by cutting rates. Pro- perty holders might as_ well save their money as to accept cheap insurance, without being guaranteed perfect security in the event of loss. This can be had, beyond doubt, by taking oat a policy in the IMpertaL Fire Iv- SURANCE Co.,. of London, which insures at moderate rates,
