Mr. Jonun Doytr’s lecture on ‘‘Catholic Emancipation” was largely attended. St. Patrick’s Hall was nearly filled with an appreciative audience. Mr. Doyle’s style is bold, and his lecture was well delivered. The sketches he gave of Irish History were extremely pleasing.
ArT THE Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon Geerge Dawson was tined $2 and costs or 8 days for being drunk and in- eapable and William Brooks for being drunk and disorderly was fined the same. The Russian sailor who was arrested for as- saulting the mate of the barquentine Erema was further remanded 8 days.
Tue fact that in all the cases appealed from the decision of the Stipendiary Ma- gistrate—-with one exception, in which a point was raised in the Supreme Court which was not raised before him—his de- cision has been affirmed by the judges, is very good evidence of Mr. Fitzgerald’s ability and good judgment.

We were shown last evening a very fine Ayrshire bull, which was raised by Mr. James Mutch, senr., of Lot 48, and bred by the Stock Farm of this Province. He is four years old, weighs 1,976 pounds, and is considered to be one of the finest animals ever raised on the Island. He has been purchased by a’stock raiser in River John, who pays for him the sum of $150.
At the annual meeting of the Citizens’ Skating Rink Vompany, held in their build- ing on Wednesday, 8th May, the following directors were elected for the ensuing year : W. C.

Tue Truck Committee of the City Coun- cil is very negligent in its duty, when it al- lows a truckmen to work a_ horse which is apparently unable to bear harness. Their are several truck-horses of this calibre in the city. This morning, a truckman passed along the street with one of the most piti- ful looking animals we ever beheld attached to a vehicle. There was scarcely ten pounds of flesh on its frame; it was lame on two legs, and its shoulder was so_ horribly dis- eased that a leader was analog See knotted and wriggling against the poor ani- mals leg. Wethink it scandalous that a license should be ted a person who would allow his horse fall to such a miser- able state,

Lonpon, May 8.
A British and German ironclad arrived at Port Said from Malta, and a number of British transports, carrying the Indian contingent, passed Aden to-day.
A Cronstadt correspondent of the 3rd inst., asserts that 2,000 seamen left Russia, probably for America, to man privateers.
News of the Russian advance on Batoum, by way of Choruk Valley, is unimportant, because that road is impracticable for mili- tary travel.
Paris, May 9.
The ELstafelle reports that, for the past few days, numerous detachments of Rus- sian Ysailors have been passing through France and embarking at Havre, and even Liverpool, for America, to man vessels purchased there by Russia.
Three Americar, steamers are reported to have recently arrived at Perel, probably to be used as transports. A Constantinople special states that the greatest part of the Russian provisions and ammunitions has been removed from San Stefano to Chataja. Commissarial con- tracts signed to-day make Adriannople the point of delivery hereafter. Rumors lately current in Constantinople about a Russian concentration at Pyrgos threatening the upper Bosphorus, are un- true.
Sr. Pererssurc, May 8. The Agence Russe says: ‘* Russia has no thought of setting aside England’s legi- timate influence, or exercising exclusive prepondence of power in Turkey.” This is shown by the fact that, despite Russian sacrifices, English influence is still predom- inant at Constantinople.

New York, May 7.—A Belville, Illinois, despatch says serious apprehensions are felt that the troubles in the coal mines in this neighborhood, where nearly 4,000 miners are on the strike, will end in scenes of vio- lence, and this feeling is readily aggravated, as the Communistic agent counsels them to enforce their rights.
San Francisco, May 7.—-The steam yacht ‘‘Sofia” is in port, and is the only vessel that could be made a privateer by the Rus- sians. Nine war vessels of the Russian fleet are at Vladisnastock, on the Asiatic coast. The Russian gunboat at San Fran- cisco is to leave the moment war is pro- claimed for the Russian fleet.
New York, May 7.—An attempt to ar- rest Governor Trias, and initiate a revolu- tion against the Diaz Government in Chi- huahua, on the 16th April, was suppressed, and 15 conspirators were arrested.
Evurrato, May 5.—Vague rumors are afloat of a raid on Canada by the Irish in case of war between Russia and England. It is stated that three companies of Irish patriots are armed and equipped here ready for service, and one thousand Western Irishman have been notitied, so that they can be here in twenty-four hours, whil there are three thousand more in this vi- einity that will rendezvous for a raid within three days after orders are issued, but no- thing authentic can be obtained to sub- stantiate these rumors.
A ‘* Herald’s” Buffalo special says mili- tary preparations are being made by Irish Nationalists there for the proposed Fenian raid on Canada in the event of war between England and Russia. An agent from New York has been there and left important secret orders. Prominent Fenians state that there are three Irish companies in Buf- falo well equipped, 1000, Western seldiers are notified, so that they can reach Buffalo in twenty-four hours, and there are 3,000 more in the country, who will rendezvous for a raid in three days after orders have been issued.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present, It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsicumM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do mere real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient
mands have beed made by veteran ofticers. It is understood that several hundred stands of murkets will be shipped from New York to Buffalo in a few days.
Lonnon, May 5,—Le Nord, a Russian organ published at Brussels, denies the New York statement that Russia has en rolled five thousand Irishmen to invade Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Russia is supposed to be making ready to take advantage of the scanty protection of British interests on Canaéian shores. It is asserted that assurances has been given the Irish leaders that Ireland will be as sisted in a revolution in case of war. It is also understood that an enlistment in Ca- nada will be offset by a raid on the Cana- dian border.
Wasuineton, May 5.—The Government has received no official information concern- ing the proposed Fenian imvasion of Ca- nada,
Monrreat, May 7,—William J. Crim- mon, a young man about 25 yeays of age, fell through a bridge into the Lachine Cana! } in the suburbs of this city on Sunday night and died this morning from his injuries. He was a native of Chatham, N. B., an ad- vocate by profession, but has een teaching school here. He had been originally in- tended for a priest. There are fears that he was robbed of fifty dollars, his month’s pay, and then thrown into the Canal. An inquest is being held.
will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLasTERs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such as rheumatism, — in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a eertain cure, ask your druggist for
»R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. though powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate ere to wear, as it {s free from lead ard other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends,
Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN'’s CaPat- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
