The question, whether or not Sir Francis Hincks will have any trial, will be settled by Judge and counsel in Chambers. The counsel for the prosecution has consented, alleging all he wants is a fair trial.

This morning the Hamilton Powder Co. was placed on trial in the Court of Queens Bench, it being alleged that their works for manufacturing nitro-glvcerine, situated at Belarl, were a source of danger to persons and property. Several witnesses were ex- amined for the prosecution.

Two desperate characters, named Picotto and Brown, while in a police court cell, this afternoon, picked a $200 Government lock, gagged a fellow prisoner who was giv- ing the alarm, and with marvellous auda- eity passed through the Court of Queen’s Bench, while in session, to the street, and escaped.

The Panama Herald of the 16th has a Lima letter dated Oct, Ist., stating that the ironclads ‘‘ Huascar,” ‘ Pitcamayo,” ** Manco Capac” and some transports were at Arica and no naval movement had then taken place. The Peruvian corvette ‘“ Union” arrived at Callao on the 20th, after a fruitless trip to the straits of Magel- lan to intercept two transports from Europe with full cargoes of arms and ammunitjons for Chili. Both vessels arrived safely. The Chilian fleet was at Valparaiso.

Much damage is reported in the south of Chili by floods. The town of Tome was in- undated. Three lives were lost, and $60,- 000 worth of property destroyed.

PRODUCE IN HALIFAX. Potatoes quiet and unchanged. In Eng- land supplies are said to be very plentiful, but the disease very prevalent. Good sound potatoes scarce and dear. Regents 100s to 150s; kidneys, 120s to 140s ; rocks, 80s to 110s ; French, 90s. to 110., per ton ton. Oats quiet, lower. Butter rather firmer, but no change worth noting. PROVISIONS. Pork firm, with an advancing tendency. No P. E. Island in the market. Beef also firm and advancing.—-Hzx. Herald.

APPLES IN MONTREAL.

A Montreal paper estimates that 30,000 barrels of apples will have left this contin- ent for the United Kingdom during the present week. Montreal shippers have discontinued their consignments owing to the large shipments going forward from Boston and New York. Fall fruit now sells in Montreal at $1.50 to $1.75 per barrel.

A COMPARISON

By the London Times: ‘‘A vessel which has been loaded with corn at. New York in a single day takes ten or twelve days to unload when she arives at an English port. The loading has been done by machinery. The unloading is done by handwork.”

TER NM, FY.

The National Policy has net yet ruined the ceuntry, if we can judge from remarks made by our exchanges. The St. John Sun of Thursday says:— ‘‘ Yesterday, there were lying at the I. C. Railway station about thirty packages of St. George red granite, awaiting shipment to Ontario, .The pieces are all polished and cut to order, and are intended for a-Savings Bank in that Province.” :

WEaT INDIA GOODS.

Molasses firm and advancing, and stock getting reduced. Sugar higher for all grades, and held in some cases at an ad- vance on eur quotations. From the 4th te the 18th instant, sugar advanced in Green- ock 4s 6d per ton, but even this has been exceeded in the United States. — Halifax Herald.

The Toronto Globe has another attack on the-sugar refining interest, and disregard- ing alcogether-the fact that the recent ad- vance in the price of sugar has been the re- sult of a great advance in England and in the United States, endeavors to fix on what it terms the ‘‘ Redpaths” the odium of an increase in price entirely beyond the con- trol of any one in this country. Two facts are well known to the trade : the first that the increase in price in Canada is not so great as it is in Greenock or in New York ; not so much by at least a cent a pound as it might be ; and, second, that even had Mr. Cartwright’s tariff been in force at the pre- sent hour, sugar would have been dearer than it is. We apprehend that no other answer is required. The Globe should learn its lesson better before committing itself to statements known to be unfounded by every importer in the Dominion. -- Montreal Gazette.

BUTTER IN HALIFAX.

Messrs. James Duggan & Sons sold at aution yesterday morning 50 large tubs of butter. It realized fifteen cents per pound. —Hv. Herald, 25th.

THE PRODUCE TRADE.

A good deal of produce is being shipped from Summerside this season, though prices are low. Oats bring thirty-two cents per bushel of thirty-four pounds, Potatoes —ofthe Early Rose and Prolific kinds— are selling for twenty cents per bushel, while blues are worth only sixteen and eighteer. cenis. Thera are, quite a number of vessels loading. Mr. Rogers is loading the brigt. Cepola with oats and potatoes for Demerara. The potatoes are shipped in boxes. Mr. Lefurgey’s bark is loading with oats for the British market; and the Malinche lately launched by Angus McMillan, Esq., will also load with oats for the same destination. At Holman’s wharf the schr. A. E. Douglas is being loaded with oats and potatoes by R. T. Holman, Esq., for Boston, Messrs. Longworth & Co., are loading the brigt. Kate with oats, and the schr. Ellen May is being loaded with oats by the owner. Large quantities of-oysters and other pro- duce are shipped weekly in the Gulf Port steamers, and by the steamer to Shediac. The potatoe crep is nearly all gathered in and is abundant. As there is not much prospect of an advance in either oats or potatoes, we think farmers should bring m their surplus produce while there was a de- mand for it.—Summerside Progress.
