OCornection.—The item in Tue EXAMINER yesterday regarding the flooding of Mr. Thos. Campbell's quarry at Mount Edward was slightly inaccurate. In the first place, Mr. Campbell has not a brick yard, but owns and runs one of the largest stone quarries on the Island; and, in the second place, the flooding of it was caused, not by a break in the pipes, but through leaks inthe reservoir. The leaks are now being repaired.

Ay Imporrant Casz.—When does an in- surance policy expire? This is the point upon which a suit inthe Superior Court, Montreal, isdepending. The Montreal Herald is suing the Northern Assura vce C ompany for the amount of a policy of $3,000 which the company refuses to pay. Its grounds of re-

fusal are mainly two: First, because the policy was renewed from August 26, 1836, to August 26, 1887, *‘ both days inclusive,’ and

the company contends that the policy expired at noon onthe latter date. The fire took place onthe evening of that day, and the newspaper holds that the policy held good until midnight. The other objection made by the insurance company is that the paper's loss was fully covered by insurance money paid by other companies. Jieenineililiiien

Haumax, Dee. 10.

The Gloucester schooner N. A. Matson, Capt. Campbell came in here on Saturday with a cargo of halibut, and entered at the customs house under the treaty of 1818, ostensibly for repairs. She landed part of her cargo, paid duty and sold it; but Campbeil packe d 38,000 halibut in and boxes and transhipped it by the steamer Carroll to B The vessel has no license, and Capt. Campbell says he makes the transhipmenat under the rights given Americans by the bonding arrangement of the treaty of Washington. This is the first attempt to tranship. The customs oflicers are fully conversant with Capt. Camp- bell’s action, but no action has yet been taken. The Carroll does _ not sall until to-morrow, and great curiosity exists among those who know of Captain Campbell’s action as to what proceedings will follow the departure of the steamer Carroll with their eight thousand pounds of fish. Consul-General Phelaa admits the fact of the transhipment, but refuses to be intervie wed.

THE RIOTING MINERS

Still Watched by the Militia.

BirminauaM, Ala., Dec. 10.

The military seem to have complete con- trol of the city, and it is hoped that no fur- ther resort to arms will be made. A _ re-

port reached the city during last evening

that bands of miners were preparing to march upon the city to renew the attack upon the jail. Col. Jones, com-

mander of the militia, believes, however, that his force is sufficiently strong to resist any such movement. ‘There is still much feeling, but it is subdued. Saturday’s terrible volley settled all the desire of the mob to break down the jail. They will not try it again. Sheriff Smith is still in jail under arrest for murder. Chief of Police Picard was released on $10,000

bonds this morning.

A steamer, therefore, will leave Suez on We lnesday, to convey to + Suakim a squadron of the 20th Hussars and 1300 men of the Welsh infantry. This | would make a total force at Suakim of 6,500 wien, composed mostly of Egyptians, | against 2,400 of the enemy. | Svakr, Dec. 10. | The enemy's right redoubt was nearly | destroyed to-day by the heavy combined fire of the ships aud forts.
