Five women, residents of Grafton Street, | made things lively in the vicinity of the| Police Station last night, by a lengthy dis-' play of their pugilistic abilities.

THe first arrival from the Upper Pro- vinces is that of the steamer Venizia, which

arrived from Montreal this morning. She} has as freight 1,250 barrels of flour, 21! sixty-five in the new House. packages of dry goods, 72 packages of ship-|

chandelry, 100 kegs nails, and sundry other merchandize.

Tue Sreamers Sf. Lawrence and Princess of Wales made their first trips of the season to Pictou on the 30th April and Ist May respectively. As soon as the ice permits they will begin their regular trips to the different ports as last season. Both these beats look well, and are in first-class order fo, the summer’s work. The painting was done by Mr. D. Howlett, of this city.

THERE was a very fair market to-day, and sales were very lively. Prices as follows Beef, small, from 8 to 15 cents ; do., by the quarter, from 6 to 10 cents; mutton, from 8 to 14 cents; lamb, per quarter, 75 to 85 cents ; pork, by the carcass, from 5}

‘to St cts.: butter, fresh, from 25 to 26 cts. ; ‘do., tub, from 19 to 22 cents ; .clover seed, by the lb., from 24 to 25 cents; timothy do, from $3.50 te $4.25; potatoes, per bush., from 23 to 25 cents; oats, from 41] to 43 “cents; eggs, from & to 10.

Some unfeeling brute has sent to this of- fice a bogus marriage notice which was pub- lished in yesterday morning’s paper. The notice was sent by mail accompanied by fifty cents—the usual charge—and a letter to which the forged name of the gentleman said to have been married was attached. The letter is written by an experienced pen- man. Both the notice and the letter are on exhibition in the office, and we hope that

rsons from the part of the country in

which they were written will eall and ex- wine them, so that the cowardly sneak who wrote them may be brought to justice. We promise, if we tind out the name of the mis- @rable hound who would be guilty of so ‘mean and utterly contemptible a fraud, that we will let the people of Hope River know the name of one scoundrel in that vicinity. r~Patriot.

Between six and seven o clock on Mon- day morning, the men in Hayes’s box fac- tery and saw mill at Halifax, started the machinery, A belt for driving one of the circular saws was detached from the wheel, and a workman from the upper flat called out to Charles McGowan, who was on the flat below, to put on the belt. McGowan, who is left handed, proceedod to do so, ‘ising his left hand for the purpose. He had his coat on at the time, and it appears that the cuff caught in the protuding key of the wheel. In an instant McGowan was ‘drawn over over by the revolving shaft— his arm was broken off close up to the shoulder, and went revolying round with the shaft, while his body, from which the elothing had been entirely stripped, was thrown across the mill, a distance of about arod. The Visiting Surgeon was soon in attendence, and, aided by the House Sur- geon, amputated the remainder of the sey ered limb. McGowan bore his sufferings with remarkable fortitude, but the shock was too great even for his iron constitution, and at five o’clock yesterday morning he died.— Hx. Herald.

The Agence Russe says : ‘ Intelligance coutinnes to be received of an improved state of the pour parleus through Germany, as an intermediary for the simultaneous withdrawal from the vicinity of Constanti- nople, as well as of negotiations with Aus- tria concerning her special interests. ’

The principle of direct exchange of views between London and St. Petersburg, on questions interesting England, we have agreed upon.

Vienna, May 2.

The Taq Blatt says that in consequence of the concentration of Russian troops near the Transylvania frontier it will become necessary for Austria to take precautions.

The question of concentrating the Aus- trian army in Transylvania is being seri- ously considered. The political correspon- dent states that the revival of negotiations between Russia and England, relative to Congress, is due to the invitation of the former. The negotiations will be based upon larger concessions than hitherto ac- ceded to by Russia. A special to the poli- tical correspondent from Constantinople re- ports that General Tudben has resumed ne gotiations with Admiral Hornby in regard to the details of withdrawal. He has also resumed negotiations with the Porte for the evacuation of the ceded fortresses but as yet without result. Safvet Pasha declaring that the Russians has not carried out the San Stefano Treaty obligations.

Lonpon, May 2.

Reuters telegram from Constantinople says the Russians of late have frequently violated the boundary lines of demarcation.

Intelligence from Athens says that the insurgents in Thessaly have subsided, the British Consuls having probably told the leaders that England is resolved to defend the cause of Greece.

tinople asserts that the Russfns are ap- proaching Batoum, intending to attack it, if not surrendered.

Refugees, in a deplorable condition, con- tinue to arrive in Constantinople, and the International Committee will be obliged to stop relief on June Ist, for lack of funds.
