hue Canpipares. —The Patriot announces that the Hon. D. Davies will probably again contest King’s County. Very good. Very good. But if he does, the Hon. D. Davies is A more courageous man than people gen- erally imagine him ta be.

We learn, by telegraph from Shediac, that the body of Timothy McCarthy, hetel keeper, has just been found near the spot where Annie Parker pointed out. The corpse had a rubber coat on. His watch, revolver and $270 in gold were on the body. We have not yet heard of wuTy marks of yio- lence.

YESTERDAY evening a young man named Daniel McDonald, while ina violent state of intoxication, entered the house of Jchn; Williams, King Strect (west), assaulted the female portion of the household, and broke several articles of furniture. He was ar- rested, brought before the Magistrate this morning, and ‘‘sent up” for one month.

We are glad to learn that Mr. George Dixon, of Dog River, is recovering from the painful injuries he received by having his arm and shoulder badly crushed while working in the mill. It was thought this arm would have to be amputated, but through the skillful treatment of Dr. Jen- kins it is now being restored te its former usefulness.

Tue Patriot tries to throw suspicion wpen our remarks respecting the candidature of the Hon. William McGill. We assure the Patriot that they were made in good faith. The editor of the Patriot is to ili- beral to do aught but belittle, abuse and inisrepresent his political opponents ; and he seems to think that if the Examiner has occasionally a good word for one who is not a Liberal-Conservative, the fact is suspi- cious. ‘* By himself he judges others.”

Wiru the Patriot, we are pleased to note the success of our young friend Mr. Wm. S. Stewart. Mr. Stewart is one of the young men of this Island of whom we should be proud. Only once, in the expe- rience of P. E. Island, has this medal been won; and we understand that Mr. Stewart was, on the announcement of his success, complimented by the Professors as receiving the medal with higher honors than ever be- fore at McGill University. | We have much pleasure in welcoming home our young men who sustain the reputation of this, the smallest Province in the Dominion.

Tue shipment of produce from this and outside ports was very brisk during the past week The largest shipments from this port being those of the barquentine Erema and by Hila B.—the former taking 23,500 bushels of oats and the latter 24,250 bushels of oats for the English market. The other shipments from this port were to New- foundland and Cape Breton. The article of produce sent to these places being princi- pally potatoes, of which article 11,835 bushels were shipped. The shipments from the different outposts were to the ports of our neighboring provinces the amount shipped being 8,83! basiels of oats and 10,-| 355 bushels of potatoes.

At tHe Stipendiary Magistrate's Court this forenoon Michael Cushing was fined $2

He had been imprisoned a short time ago fora like offence, On the Magistrate’s visit to the jail, he—seeing so young a boy imprisoned with a crowd of) hardened criminals— shortened his sentence | and he promised to amend. The offence he | stood charged with to-day was relieving a lady’s pocket of a purse containing five dol- lars, whilst she was attending a sale at Mr. W. Dodd’s salesroom yesterday.

Several Injured! !

(Special Despatch to Examiner. ) Lonpon, May 10.

The Allan steamer ‘‘ Sardinian,” Capt. Dalton, from Liverpool, May 9th, for Que- bec, is on fire at entrance of Lough Foyle, Harbour of Londonderry. It is reported an explosion of generated gas occurred on board, and that every effort to save the ves sel proved ineffectual.

There were about 460 passengers on board. Few were injured ; one fatally.

The Captain telegraphed immediately to Londonderry for accommodation for 400 passengers, and two tenders were set to the mouth of the Lough to in re- moving them.

The ‘Sardinian’ had put into Lough Foyle to receive Irish passengers.

Later —Many of those injured by the ex- plosion on the ‘‘Sardinian” are not ex- pected to recover. The vessel is on tire amidships ; half the watch are in the fore- castle, and a number of steerage passen- gers in the fore part of the vessel, and are éut off from help.

LONDON, May 10,

More transports, with Indian troops on the way to Malta, passed Aden to-day.

A Rome despatch says: ‘* The negotia- tions for the establishment of diplomatic relations between England and the Vatican, have failed.”

St. Pererssura, May 10,

The ‘‘ Agence Russe” says; ‘‘ All the newspaper relations respecting the propo- sals, whereof Count Schowaloff is the bearer, are hypothetical. This Gevern- nent, ftself, does not know the proposals; and if Count Schowloff could have tele- graphed, or otherwise transmitted them, his journey would have been needless.

This fact, however does not preclude a pacific solution.

aaa > or o-- —_ GENERAL NEWS. Orrawa, May 9.

Despatches from Buffalo states that 3,000 men in that city were under arms, and that five steam tugs and a number of canal boats have been secured in Buffalo to trans- port the Fenians to Canada.

A Russian secret agent says the Ham- burg steamships Hiestphalu, Thuringia, Franconia and Phernana have been char- tered to transport Russian naval forces to American waters.

A Syracuse despatch says there is some basis for a reported Fenian movement. In this locality probably 250 men are engaged in it, claiming connection with a general movement along the frontier. Some mone has been raised and the men armed wit pistols. They say they await orders from O'Neill. The better class of Irishmen generally give no sympathy to the move- ment.

MontreaL, May 9.

David Davis, a storeman, testified before the coroner’s jury in the Colligan case that on the night of the shooting he was in his store, close to the bridge, and overheard a crowd of men outside lay their plans to at- tack the Young Britons coming from the Concert and threaten to shoot every one of them. The party also arranged to fire into carriages, thinking the Britons might ride home. The signals for the attack were also settled within hearing of the witness, who subsequently warned the main body of the Britons not to cross the bridge.

The body of a laborer named Richards, who was missing since last fall, was found in the canal last evening.

The Mayor has received several letters from various parts of the United States to the effect that the Fenians were preparing for a raid on Canada. Our citizens are not disturbed by the news.

Jean Sprung, the notorious steamship thief, who committed so many robberies on the Allan and White Star lines, was found guilty to-day, in the criminal court of Quebec, of robbery on board the steamer Circassian. There are still four charges pending agtinst him. His last exploit was to rob Sir Philip Wodehouse, Governor of Bombay, of £500, and some valuable diamonds.

The city police force is to be augmented

by 50 additional men, with a view more,

effectually to suppress party disturbances. Frepericton, May %.

A man named Dennis Collins, hailing from Neweastle, jumped from the attic window of Mr. John Moore’s boarding house on Queen Street, a distance of about thirty feet, alighting on the platform. He sustained some serious injury, breaking his hip, and bruising himself considerably. His recovery is doubtful. He is thought to be insane.
