New Yorn, May i.

Captain Frazer, of the steamer Servia, which is a sister ship of the steamer Cim- hria, says as follows :—

‘* We left Hamburg two days before the Cimbric. She had been chartered by cer- tain unknown parties, and it was said at the time that she was about te sail for Halifax for the purpose of embarking a portion of the Canadian contingent of the British Army. When we arrived at Havre, how- ever, we learned that she had already gone to one of the Baltic ports for the purpose of obtaining Russian sailors.”

There is great excitement here. The English residents assembled in large num- bers last night, and discussed the possible bearing of the Cimbria’s arrival.

The general belief is that any attempt at fitting out privateers in American ports will be prevented by the United States Govern- ment ; but it is argued that self-interest, as well as a very general desire to pay England back for her action during the civil war, would have the effect of making the United States wink at the destruction of Britlsh cotnmerse,

Panis, May 1.

The International Exhibition opened to- day with great eclat. The city is crowded with visitors,

San Srerano,' May 1.

The general opinion in the Russian army is that the appointment of General Todle- ben portends strife.

General Todleben and Imeretinkey both think that war is absolutely inevitable.

Lonpon, May 1

lt is considered in official circles that the mission of General Von Moltke to Copen- hagen is a sure indication ef Germany’s in- tention to act formally in favor of neu- tralizing the Baltic, or forbidding the en- trance of the British iron clads.

Men Qualified to Sit in Parliament.

Tue Moncton Tiimes remarks that, among the men who were qualified to sit in Parlia- ment, according to the Government notion, were these :

Mr. Bannatyne, of Manitoba, who, while a member of the Commons, has been draw- ing public monies under contract with the Government to the extent of scores of thou- sands of dollars annually.

Mr. Anglin, who, while a member of the House of Commons and its Speaker, had a monopoly of the Post Office Printing in New Brunswick for three years, drawing over twenty thousand dollars for this ser- vice.

Mr. George McLeod, of Kent, N. B., who, while sitting and voting with the Goy- ernment, had the handling of about every dollar of Government money expended in Richibucto Harbor, whether for materials for the Breakwater, supplies for the dredge Boat or subsidy to his steam-tug.

Mr. Isaac Burpee, of St. John, who, as a member and Minister, sat in the House while his firm was contracting with the Government, just as if there was no Inde- pendence of Parliament Act on the Statute Book,

Thomas Workman, M. P. for Montreal, who sat and vo ted with the Government, while his firm held the order of the Minis- ter of Public Works, directing that supplies for the canals should be purchased from his hardware firm.

Mr. Norris, of Lincoln, who, while sit- ting in the House, had lis steamers em- ployed by the Government in the profitable work of transporting steel rails from Mon- treal to the West.

Messrs. Jones and Vail, who—both as members, and one as a Minister, sat in the House and aided the Government who had given the newspaper which they were run- ning, a monopoly of the Post Office Print- ing in Nova Scotia, this Government patron- age alone enabling the paper to maintain an existence—proof of which is given by the fact that when the patronage ceased the paper died.

Mr. Cunningham, of Westminster, who sat in the House and voted while receiving large sums from the Government.

Donald A. Smith, of Manitoba, who sat in the House and voted to give himself and his associates a lease of the Government's Pembina Branch of the Pacific Railway,— over which every emigrant to Manitoba must travel.

These are but sample representatives of a score of members wha unitedly supported the Government, the latter being in every instance cognizant of the corrupt transac- tions which have gone on contrary to law and in defiance of ‘public sentiment. Such mon were regarded as fit and proper per- sons to be members of Parliament, to sit on Committees before which the Government expenditures were examined, and to vote on all questions connected with the Inde- pendence and Purity of Parliament.

During the Indian mutiny Puch had a cartoon of two guardsmen and the follow- ing dialogue :—‘‘ Shawp wok in Indiah.” ** Yaas, what a boch a soldiah’s life must be.” The Guards are again being chafied now that England seem to be on the eve of war. The World has the following as the war song of the Guards’ bands :—

‘* We don’t want to fight, And, by jingo, if we do,

We'll play them to the station, . And that’s all that we shall do }”

‘*The correspondent of the Toronto ‘ Mail” says there is a story afloat ‘* that Mr. La- flamme, the Minister of Jastice, gave the Mayor of a certain LowerCanada municipality the other day, the sum of $190 to be spent in the elections.. The fellow got drunk and vo- lunteered the information to persons who are ready to testify to it ou oath if necessary.”

Hon. Oliver Mowatt has written a letter to Senator Skead, relative to the unem- ployed at Ottawa, in which: he states that while the demand for farm labor in this Province has in former yeers exceeded the supply, this year it is otherwise, and the prospects for employment are poor. This is a sure sign that the depression is passing away !

Arrestor 4 Hatirax Bank Rospeer.— Albert C. Moore, who is thought to be one of the four men who, in 1876, robbed « Halifax Bank of $25,000, has been arrested at Albany, New York, charged with being one of the confederates who robbed the Cambridgeport, Mass., National Bank, im September. He will probably be brought to Boston for trial. When arrested he had on his person two counterfeit National bonds of $100 each, and a bogus check of S859.

SoME time agoa large building at St, John’s, Nfid., was discovered to be on fire— having been fired in five different places on on one flat—occupied by a man named Bethune, a cabinet maker, who had about $2,000 insurance on about $100 worth of stock. Mr. Bethune has very unkindly been arrested, probably to prevent his en- emies from injuring him. Mr. Bethune is well known in Halhfax. He belongs to P. E. Island, but is married to a girl from Country Harbor, Guysboro County. He formerly had charge of the cabinet making department of the Industrial School in this city, acted for some time as colporteur for the Tract Society, at one time intended studying for the ministry, but finally re- solved on going into business in St. John’s; and here’s the end of his ambition.—H~x. Herald.

A seyous disturbance has occurred near the Liverpool Sailors’ Home between a number of white and black seamen. It is said that a dispute arcse on the previous day between a few white and black sailors with respect to wages, resulting in a fight in the waiting room ef the Mercantile Marine Office, owing to which a negro was put out. Next morning the blacks appeared at the shipping office in con. siderable force, and took He at the most trifling matters, and eventually they attacked the whites. They then went outside and com- menced an attack on all the seamen standing in the arcade, driving thera out of the ge, and kicking and ill-treating those who were overtaken, The blacks then went to the front of the building, where they renewed the ats tack; but they were met by a powerful white man, who knocked down several of the negroes, ‘This was the signal for a general attack by the white men, who compelled the blacks to re- treat, several of them being roughly handled. The greatest excitement prevailed for some time, the streets near the spot being crowded with people. About 150 policemen were des- patched to the place and order was restored. The person most seriously injured was a white, man, who was conveyed to the hospital insen- sible. One of the blacks was severely injured about the head, No knives or firearms werg
