Payment of the Fisheries Award.
A PROTEST.
Minister Wetsu, on behalf of the United States Government, officially pro- tests that the United States will not in future recognize the Halifax award as any criterion of value for participation in Cana- dian inshore fisheries. The following is the full text of his despatch to Lord Salis. bury—receipt of which his Lordship has
acknowledged : “LEGaTIoN oF THE U. S., ‘“‘Lonpon, Noy. 21, 1878.
“My Lorp,—-I have been instructed by the President of the United States to tender to her Majesty’s Government the sum of $5,500, - 000 in gold coin, this being the sum named by the two concurring members of the Fisheries Commission lately sitting at Halifax under aathority imparted thereto by the Treaty of Washington, to be paid by the Government of te United States to the Government of her Britannic Majesty.
“Tam also instructed by the President to say that such payment is made upon the ground that the Government of the United States desires to place the maintenance of good faith in treaties and the security and value of arbitration between nations above all
uestion in its relations with her Brittanic Majesty's Government as with all other Gov- ernments. Under this motive the Govern- ment of the United States desires to separate the question of withholding the payment from the considerations touching the obligation of this payment which have been presented to her Majesty's Government in correspondence, and which it reserves and insists upon.
‘J am besides instructed by the President to say that the Government of the United States deems it of the greatest importance to the common and friendly interests of the two (overnments in all future treatment of any questions relating to the North American tish- eries that her Britannic Majesty's Government should be distinctly advised that the (sovern- ment of the United States cannot accept the result of the Halifax Commission as furnishing any just: measure of value of participation by our citizens in the inshore fisheries of the British Provinces, and it protests against the actual payment pow made being considered by her Majesty's Government asin any sense an acquiescence in such measures, or as war- ranting any inference to that effect.

War Between England and Russia Predicted.
A GENTLEMAN belonging to the Foreign Office in England writes: ‘“‘We are on the eve of a war with Russia, and upon this point both the Courts of St. James and St. Petersburg-—singularly enough—are iden- tical in the one idea. One of the late am- bassadors here from the Court of Sz. Petersburg has openly declared that his Government has decided not to be bound by the Treaty of Berlin.”

UNEQUALLED BENTHUSIASM.
—— +
Hauirax, Nov. 25—evening.
About eleven o'clock a. m. the Sarmatian left her anchorage further down the harbor and steamed up towards the Dockyard.
At 1.40 the Royal barge with the Princess and the Marguis on board left her side. A Royal salute was fired from the forts and the yards of the men-of-war were man- ned—the bands playing the National An- them. Unequalled enthusiasm prevailed through- out the city as the Governor General and the Princess proceeded through the densely crowded streets—lined with military. The city was beautifully decorated.
THEIR VOYAGE.
From our St. John exchanges we clip fur- ther particulars respecting the voyage of the Vice-Regal party :-—
The following is from the ‘‘ Sarmatian’s” log :— Friday, Nov. 15—Ship had run 190 miles, After leaving Moville the ‘*‘ Sarmatian” ex- perienced heavy weather from the north- east, which continued during the whole night and part of next day. ‘The ship rolled heavily, and took in large bodies of water.

Frightful Railway Collision.
EXPRESS TRAINS, RUNNING THIRTY MILES AN HOUR, COLLIDE—THE KILLED AND WOUNDED-—--HOW THE ACCIDENT OC- CURRED.
TWO
Hamitton, Ont., Nov. 24.
At an early hour this morning the city was thrown into great excitement over the ne of a frightful collision on the Great
estern Railway at Wiona, a station twelve miles east of here. As near as can be as- certained at the present moment, the facts ate: While the New York Express, No. 12, which left here at two a. m., was shunting and waiting at Wionna to pass No. 1 Chi- cago express, which is due here at 2.45 o'clock, a. m., it was run into by the latter train coming at about the rate of thirty miles an hour. The engineer and fireman of No. 12 jumped from the engine and escaped. The engine was badly smashed. No. 1 fared worse. The engine was fear- fully wrecked, the baggage car telescoping the snu->king car, killing one man (an im- migranv) outright; another emigrant had his skull fractured and thigh broken; another his leg badly torn to pieces; five other emigrants were also badly injured ; the engine driver of the express, which ran into the train shunting, had his arm and
fractured, and the fireman was badly scalded. These were all that it cow’:!
be ascertained that were injured. Other
passengers went forward, and it was sup-
se were uninjured. The emigrants re- erred to are now lying at Hamilton hos-
ital. lame is attached.

It is not yet known to whom the
pected she will speedily recover her accus- tomed health. The Governor-General and the rest of the party are all well.
Tue special correspondent of the St. John Telegraph writes :—
The voyage of so distinguished a party across the Atlantic could not be without in- cidents of interest, and this one was ren- dered particularly eventful by the extraor- dinary character of the weather. An officer who crossed in the Sarmatian enables us to furnish our readers with the principal inci- dents of the remarkable passage. ‘The Sarmatian is a stout ship specially selected for this voyage by reason of her reputation as aseaboat. She is commanded by Capt. A. D. Aird, who proved in this voyage that his reputation as a bold and_ skilful com- mander is well deserved. The Sarmatian carried her usual cargo and the mails, but no enemas except the Vice-Regal party. The first day at sea the Princess remained below, but Lord Lorne was on deck during most of the afternoon talking freely to his suite and the officers of the ship, and prov- ing himself most affable. He expressed himself as much pleased with the ship. At 6.30 on Friday the mails were on board from Moville, but slie did not leave until 11.30, when the gale was thought to have abated. Leaving Moville
THE ENGINES WERE PUT ATf FULL SPEED
and the wind was moderate ; but when the ship got clear of the land the north-east wind developed into a gale which old sail- ors characterized as fearful, and the ship labored heavily. On the following day (Saturday) there was a heavy sea and the ‘Princess suffered greatly from seasickness and was unable to leave her bed. Towards
night the gale began to abate, but all the
ngers remained below, as the sea was istill heavy. On Sunday the weather was bright and gave promise of a pleasant day. Divine service was held in the forenoon, and late in the afternoon th: Princess ap- d on deck, but seemed very much shaken ; she retired early. Lord Lorne was on deck with the other ladies of the

"HE PATENT BEDS, from which so much had been expected, were then discarded, being found quite useless. ‘They were replaced by berths, the Princess suffering greatly duting this awful storm,and proved herself # bad sauor, Her sufferings were such as to excite alarm among the: swite. During the night the gale moderated and on Tuesday morning still decreasing until the weather became moderate, and so continued most of the day, but the sea was heavy. Wednesday promised finely, but the Princess still con- tinned too ill to leave her room. Lord Lorne, however, was on deck as he had been fox the previons two days, and ate with good appetite and seemed to have got over the first effects of *the voyage. The wind at night was moderate from the north-east. On Thursday morning the wind had shifted to south-east and was quite brisk. The Princess made A BRAVE EFFORT TO RISE
and leave her room, but her great weakness still continued, and she soon retired. The ladies of suite rose and with Lord Lorne had a pleasant time during the day. Friday commenced with a light west wind, and the weather became pleasant. The Princess grew much better but did not go on deck during the entire day. She ate, however, with tolerable appetite and was in good spirits, the close of the voyage being so near, and the prospects of reaching Halifax next day good. Saturday broke hazy, with wind from the southward. The Princess much recovered and in good spirits, partook of aslight breakfast and luncheon, and in the afternoon, it being announced that land might be descried before nightfall, the Princess appeared on deck for a short time but retired before dusk. The rest of the party were also on deck and in good spirits and guesses as to what hour the land would be made were indulged in, soundings hay- ing been taken. At 5.15 o'clock THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED
by the lookout man who made Sambro light, the harbor was entered and the voy- Sambro light was signalled with rockets and the ship proceeded, feeling her way cautiously into the harbor as be- fore described.
The Duke of Edinburgh, who all day had been expecting the arrival of the Sar- matian, as soon as she was signalled, left the Black Prince in the Admiralty steam- barge and went down to meet her. The sailor Prince speedily boarded the steamer and had a pleasant interview with his sis- ter, who was none the less glad to find so near a member of the family awaiting her arrival in Canada. The Princess was fatigued and retired early, so that the popular expectation that the Vice-Regal party would land informally in the evening and spend the night ashore was disappoint- ed.
The passengers on board the Sarmatian are: H.R. H. Princess Louise, the Most Noble the Marquis of Lorne, Lady Sophia MacNamara, Hon. Mrs. Moreton, Miss Moreton, Major Dewinton, Mrs. Dewinton, Miss Dewinton, Miss V. Dewinton, Master Dewinton, Col. McNeill, Hon. C. Harbord, A. D. C., Capt. Chater, Dr. Andrew Clark, Miss Bogle, Mr. Sydney Hall, and twenty- \four servants.
Another gentleman on board gives the following ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS OF THE VOYAGE.
On Tuesday the Marquis was on deck with his piper, who played for some time. On Wednesday the Princess was better, so far as seasickness was concerned, but com- plained of a slight throat affection. The piper was again on deck with the Marquis,’ and,at the request of the Princess,a sketch of the piper was made by Mr. Sydney Hall, the artist of the party. Saturday, 23rd, was hazy, and with a strong breeze and a good deal of fog. The Princess appeared on deck, and then only remained but a few minutes. As the ship was approaching the coast a sharp lookout was kept for H. M. 8. Sirius, the Marquis having been informed by telegraph before leaving England that she would cruise off the coast to meet him, but no sign of the Sirius could be seen ; neither could any pilot boat. When the time to take a pilot arrived, the ship was off Sambro, at 6 p. m., and put out to sea again. After firing guns and throwing up rockets, and waiting some time longer for a pilot and finding none, Capt. Aird deter-

aye, the Mirquis especially beating thé rough weathér like 4 well tried traveller,
‘he Princess is very pale and bears traces in lier counvenance of the sufferings of the past week, but her attendants report her condition much improved with the twenty-four hours rest in quiet water.
On the arrival of the Sarmatian the Queen was at once advised of the event, and congratulatory dispatches passed be- tween Her Majesty and the Marquis on the safe termination of the journey across the Atlantic. .
To-day Admiral and Lady Inglefield, Sir Patrick McDougall and Governor Archi- bald, with their respective staffs, Sir Hugh Allan and Col. Littleton visited the Sar- matian to pay their respects to the Vice- Regal party, and the Duke of Edinburgh took lunch on board. It was proposed dur- ing the morning that the Princess should come ashore and remain at Admiralty House till to-morrow, but in consequence of her indisposition the project was abandoned.
