THE DEAD PRINCE IMPERIAL. Lonvon, July 9.

The British troop ship ‘Orontos,” from Simons Bay, South Africa, having on board the body of the dead Prince, was sighted off Eddystone light this afternoon. She is ex- pected at Spithead at midnight, where the the body will be transferred to the Admiralty yacht ‘‘Enchantress,” for conveyance to the Royal military Academy at Woolwich.

THE COST OF THE TURKISH WAR. St. Pererspura, July 9, The Golos estimates the cost to Russia, of the war with Turkey, as amounting to £150,-

000,000, and the deaths in the Russian army 200,000.

GERMANY. Kiome, July 9. The rrctlo announced that the negotiations between Germany and the Vatican are likely

svon to result in a general amuesty to the transgressors of the May law. ITALY. WASHINGTON, July 9.

Consul Owen, at Messina, sendsan account of the eruption of Mount Etna. It broke out on the 26th of May and ceased on the 11th of June. In Messina the pavements and bal- conies were covered with black dust; the \illages near the mountain were shrouded-in darkness, and the inhabitants fled in terror. The damage is estimated at £200,000, to which the Italian Parliament contributed a large sum. Onthe 10th of June the earth opened and swallowed up houses and human beings. The cause is attributed to the undermining following the discharge of lava in large quan- tities.

Wasuinaton, D. C., July 7, 1879. Now that oe has got away, and poli-

tical wrangling has an imtermission—let us hope until next winter, at least—we may may turn our attention to other and more substan- tial, if not more interesting, topics. While the country has been somewnat befogged and doubtful about commercial ventures, because of sharp political contention, as is too often the case, yet it has gone on towards prosper- ity in an astonishing way... The foreign trade is a good index of this, and the reports at the department are worth studying. I[t is true, as shown by these, that the baiance of trade im 1879 in favor of the U. 8. is not as great as in 1878; but yet itis very large. Thus, the exports of produce and manufactures from January 1 to June 1, this year, amounted to $297,081,205, while the imports of all kinds were $158,225,154, leaving in our favor the balance of $108,000,000. in five months, which is very encouraging, When we consider that only a short time ago the balance was steadily against us year after year. From data at hand it is estimated that the excess of ex- ports in June, amounted to $10,700,000, which will make the figures for the fiscal year, end- ing June 30, about as follows :—Exports, $7 11,000.000; imports, $441,800,000; excess of exports, $269,200,000. This is a pretty good showing as an argument against the croakers, and the national greenbackers and other com- munists are very much taxed to find an an-

swertoit. But this is not all that is encour- aging. The prospect is equally good. There

never was a time at this period in the year when the crops promised so well in this coun- try as now; and there is, at the same time, almost a certainty of short crops in Europe and Asia. Wise men, therefore, fortell a balance of trade in our favor between the first of July and the last of December, this year, in excess of anything known in history. These facts confirm not only the confidence felt in the stability of our commercial system; but the wisdom of our party leaders, both Repub. licans and Democrats, in refusing to disturb our financial system at the late session of Con- gress. The general feeling is one of confi- dence that, with something like permanence in our financial affairs, our day of industrial and complete prosperity is not far distant.

The dispute between Watterson of Louis- ville, and Painter, a newspaper man here, touching Senator Conkling, is not important, although it has created some excitement. Both men are iooked upon as sensationalists. Watterson hasu’t even the endorsement of his party associates, being known as an eccen- tric, unthrustworthy ‘‘kicker.” He is prob- ably ambitious to have a personal controversy with Senator Conkling since it has become known that the Senator doesn’t believe in ‘*the code,” and Painter rushes to the rescue because it pays him to be notorious.

After the sober, second thought many people have reversed their opinion of the Burnside resolution asserting the ‘‘Monroe doctrine” and sounding the alarm against its violation in the proposal of European ‘tovernments to con- struct a ship canal across our American Isthmus. There is a reasonable suspicion that the alarm was souude! because one job failed to succeed in obtaining a_ hearing. Probably no one nation will control a work of the magnitude contemplated, and if the mat- ter is conducted as it shoald be, in the inter- est of commerce solely, our Government will not interfere, but rather help it along. M. de Leaseps, the French constructor of the Suez Canal, will probably have charge of the work, and there is some talk of making Gen. Grant President of the Company to undertake the responsibility. This would at once put it upon an amicable footing, and allay all fears as to a violation of our national right in this great enterprise.

Breadalbane Notes.

The recent seasonable showers have wrought an entire change in the appearance of the country, and now the har- vest promises to be fully an average cre. The farmers seems to be taking the times at a slow pace repairing and fitting their machines for the busy times.

The members of Calvin Lodge are makin extensive preparations to participate wit their brethern at Hunter River Tea on 12th July ; their piper isto bean imported one from the far west, arriving here on Friday. A loud time may be expected Friday night.

Some of the boys played the last trump last Saturday night ; the J. P. who had the joliti- cation across the Straits Dominion Day, and his bosom friend, felt impressed with the idea that they were infallible in such cases, takes a hand in the game, but their anger knew no bounds when so ignominiously defeated and ordered to ‘‘set em up.”

Ournbew man Mr. Kinney delights in fast horses, he is busy fitting up his factory.

A race took place ou Wednesday evening between L. D. Kinney’s horse **Kentucky Bill,” and Robert Biggar’s horse “Jack Shep- herd.” Stakes £20.00 a side best out of three for two miles. ‘*Kentucky Bill” came in first but owing toa disagreement of the judges’ decision, it was postponed until after the Orange Tea.

Mr. McDonald's hotel is well patronized this summer by tourists from the United States, &c.

Mr. Samuel Sellick’s meat market is also well patronized on Saturday nights, the rest of his time being occupied in attending his bees, having and acre of land covered with bee hives.

Fears are entertained by the wise men that ‘*Tornado Division” will blow oi and burst one of those nights.

The New Polar Expedition.

The Jeannetie, which sailed yesterday from San Francisco on a voyage towards the North Pole, has been fitted up by James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, whose en- terprise as a promoter of discoveries is well known. Sheis te be provisioned for three years, so that she will be able to remain three winters in the ice if necessary. She carries with her one hundred and thirty tons of coals and will have her bunkers replenished at Alaska. A large cache of coal and provisions will be made on the outskirts of the ice at St. Michaels, to serve as a reserve in case of the wreck of the vessel or for the use of the crew on the return voyage. Never before, says the San Francisco Bulletin, have more elaber- ate preparations been made to render a Polar expedition successful. Every appliance, sei- entific or otherwise, whose utility has been suggested by the experience of former vo ages, will have its place on the Jeannette. In the appointment of the officers and selection of the men, quite as much care has been taken

‘as in respect to the other preparations. Her

commanding officer, Lieut. DeLong, United States Navy, has previously made one hard Arctie voyage, having gone up in 1873 in the Tigress, in search of the Polaris. - The chief executive officer and engineer have also made revious voyages to the frozen zone, and the ice-pilot, on whose skill very much depends the safe navigation of the vessel, is an old whaler who has spent years in the Polar re- gions, The crew are picked men, of whom several have accompanied one or more expedi- tions of exploration to the Arctic.

The State of France.

In his speech on the return of the Chambers to Paris, M. Waddington made use of the fol- lowing assuring and hopeful words: ‘* Never were people’s minds more tranquil, never was there less agitation in the country than at present. There is nowhere a trace of secret societies or conspiracies ; never has France been more calm. Never has. the Republican Party been more moderate; and, if there is violence in the press or in the Chambers, it 1s certainly not from the ranks of the Republican Party that it proceeds. The Republican Party—the nation —has gone through its trials with wisdom, firm»ess, and a calmness which, I venture to say, has been vnexampled in the history of France.”

Lievut.-Gov. Tapnor, of Colorado, is one of the newly-arisen millionaires. He was a poor Vermont boy who drifted West, and when the diggins was found, about twenty years ago, around Ora City, he moved there and kept a little store. He had no early advantages, and seemed doomed to remain for life on the sum- mits of the Rocky Mountains, with about $1,000 of stock under his‘roof. ‘Two cobblers came along a year ago, a little poorer than himself, and wanted food. He gave them what is called a ‘‘ grub stake,” that is a barrel of flour and a bag of bacon, saying: ‘‘ You might as well work if Iam to feed you. Go dig somewhere for ore.” These two men found the Little Pittsburg Mine within a few weeks, by which one of them received $262, - 000, the other $325,000, and; Tabor has already had more than $1,000,000 out of the property, besides being in the consolidation. He is a modest, unaffected man, who has not changed his habits in the least. That discovery, how- ever, made him Lieutenant-Governor of the State.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
