- AUGUST

Opgssa, July 27.— At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th-22ad inst, a small steamboat named the «‘ Vesta’’ left Odessa for a cruise off the Roumelian coast, Early the next morning, when within between thirty and forty miles of Kustendje, it was pounced upon by a Turkish monitor, and a sharp encounter then took place between the two, which lasted from eight, a. m. till nearly two p. m. The * Vesta’s”’ rudder was soon disabled, and while the damage was being repaired the monitor approached near euough to make its advers sary a target for the rifle practice. Natur- ally enough the little vessel got greatly the worst of it,and was glad to escape ceriain de- struction by drawing off as well as its dis- abled condition would allow. During the light, however, it managed, in addition to other projectiles, to throw some bombs. two of which struck the Turkish vessels with such effect as to prevent its attempt- ing @ pursuit. ‘The Vesta had two officers and nine sailors killed, and six officers [two badly, but sub-Captain Baranoft slightly j and sixteen sailors woundei. Besides two holes in its hull, the deck was smashed by a 10-inch bomb, which exploded in the afs ter cabin and occasioned a fire just above the powder magazine, With great dilti. culty that was extinguished, and at break of day ‘last Thursday morring the vessel safely reached Sebastopol.

Phis is, | believe, the nearest approach to a sea-fight between the belligerents as yet during the present war; and as one of your Danubian correspondents hinted or remark. ed, when speaking a little while ago of the artist Verashaghin and. another ofticer, a nation whose sons can fight forand even hold their own against such odds, has some of the right stuff for a navy.

MESSRS. GALT, TILLEY & MORRIS.

The Guelph Herald says: ‘‘There is 4 rumor, which we hope will prove to be well founded, that three of Canada’s ablest- men are likely to return to active public life, at the end of this parliament. We refer to Honorable Messrs. Tilley, Galt and Morris. We should be glad indeed, not only for the sake of the Conservative party, but for that of the country at large, to see these three distinguished gentlemen again giving the country the benefit of their parliamentary experience. Mr. Galts financial .knowledge would be. in« valuable at. the present juncture, as would also that of Mr. ‘Lilley,

bere is no ‘man, scarcely even except~

ing. Hon, Mr.»Mitchell, who can wield such an influence; for good in the province of New Brunswick as can Mr. Tilley. His high character, sterling honesty, and great ability, ‘have given him such a hoid on (he atlections of the people of his province, as could not fail to be the source of great strength to him, as one of the leaders of a great party. , ‘Of the’ great’ ability of Mr. Galt it is no necessary to speak at length. his name has been a household word with the people ot Canada for many years, and his return to public life would be hailed by them with deligtit,

Mr. Morris is not so well known as either Mr, Galt. or Mr. Tilley, but, not only while in Parliament, but since his ap- pointment to the gubernatorial chair ot Manitoba, he has given evidence of rare ability,-and of the possession of the qualis ties Of a statesman. 3 : :

We would again express the hope that the gentlemen named may be induced to return ‘to* parliamentary life and give to the country the benefit of their statesman- like knowledge and experience,

A STRANGE CASE,

+++ Se

MontreaL, Aug. 13 —Francois Pavie, who married a sister, of ex-Alderman Simard, has been confined in the Long Point Asy- ham jor about a year and ashalf. As he was quite well, Mr. Pavie obtained per~ mission a few days since to leave the asy- lum for a short time under the pretence of going to the tailor to be measured for a suit of clothes. As soon as he gained lib- erty he visited a lawyer's office, and repre- sented his case to him, entreating him to to take such action as he deemed advisable to secure his release. He is a Frenchman, and for many years carried on business as a tinsmith on St. Catherine street, being successful in business and generally re- spected A long time previous to the period alluded to some disagreement in family matters had rendered his nupti:! relationship a source of dissatifation and uneasiness, and at the beginning of the FrancosGerman war be sailed for his native country and enlisted in the French army, Tthe’reverses in his country, as well as the unhappiness in his family, induced, not in» sanity, but periodical attacks of epilepsy. On his return to Canada, instead of caring for him in his own house his relatives hastily sent him to Beauport Asylum, where he remained one-month, After this.a place was. provided for him in the Long Point Asylum, His wife was a widow oefore his marriage with ber, and was the mother of a daughter, who has since been married. Mr. Pavie has more than once wished to make his will in fayor of this daughter, but his wife had caused him to be interdicted, and had secured for her- self the complete control of his estate, which she used at her pleasure. Mrs. Pavie’s visits to her husband during his} imprisonment were never oftener than once 4 month, and then not of the most| pleasing nature.
