ably cause the United States to be sche- 'duled as an infected country fer sheep. Lonvon, July 8.
The ‘Times’ says the firmness in French ‘exchange is said to be due to the prospect ‘for gold for the United States in conse- quence of deficient harvest accounts from the French wheat districts, but it seems rather premature tv speculate upon the | probable effects of the drain of gold there.
Advices from Kent state that the hop crop threatens to be a disastrous failure.
San Francisco, July 8.
The Arctic exploring yacht ‘‘ Jeanette” sail this afternoon.
Long before the hour fixed for her de- parture, the pier heads and ships along the city frent and hilltops were crowded with spectators, while the bay was lively with yachts and steamers.
Some delay occurred, and it was net un- til 4 o’clock that the erder was given to weigh anchor.
The ‘‘Jeanette” was conveyed by steam- tugs, and was attended by the entire yacht squadron ; all bearing a full load of specta- tors.
The ‘‘Jeanette”’ steamed slowly dewn the harbor amid the dippings of flags, the screaming of steam whistles, and a salute of ten guns.
The ‘‘Jeanette” was deeply loaded with coal and stores, and her progress was so slow that it was not till half-past six that she got outside ‘‘the heads.”
Lonpon, July 8. The Irish servant who was tried for the murder of her ‘mistress, Mrs. Thomas, at Richmond, has been found guilty and sen- tenced to death. It was ascertained that the body of Mrs. Themas was boiled and thrown into the Thames. The head was destroyed by burning. Havana, July 8. Additional advices from Mexico announce that the Mexican war vessel ‘‘Liberta,” the crew of which mutinied, returned to Vera Cruz June 30th, and surrendered to the authorities. There were several dead bodies on board, some of the crew having made a counter revolt at sea.
BERLIN, July &.
The Reichstag has finally resolved that the tariff on flour and fats come into force immediately ; grain and wood on the Ist of October ; all other articles on the Ist of January next. This arrangement post- pones the change in the tariffon the balk of articles for three months.

Mr. Martin P. Black, teller of the Hali- fax Banking Company, died very su-denly last night. He left the bank at a quarter to six in the best of health, and during the night his wife was awakened by a slight struggle and found her husband dying. He never spoke a word. Mr. Black was one of the oldest and most respeéted residents of Halifax, and his sudden death has cast a cloom over the city.
Capt. and Mrs. Goldsmith in the Uncle Sam, arrived at St. Peters, C. B., yester- day, and were towed across the Bras D.Or Lakes.
The Prince Imperial. HOW THE NEWS OF HIS DEATH WAS RECEIVED IN THE ENGLISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The scene in the English House of Com- mons, when the death of the Prince Imper- ial was announced, is said to have been ‘tone of the saddest ever witnessed.” Colonel Stanley, after reading the tele- vrams, sail: ‘it is hardly necessary for me to express here in this House what I am sure is the feeling of all of us, to whatever party we may belong—(cheers)— a deep regret that the young man whom we are proud to think derived some portion, at least; of his mulitary education in our military academy, and who, actuated by the tenderest bonds of comradeship, had volunteered to go out and assist his former comrades in the time of difficulty and of danger, should have met with a fate, though it well becomes a sol- dier, which has unhappily cut him off pre- maturely, and I am quite suré we must all feel deep sympathy with the gracious lady —-(loud cheers)—who has been deprived of the hope and support to which she might so justly have leoked forward in later life.’ (Loud cheers in all parts of the House.) ‘This sorcowful narrative,’ says an eye-witness, “ which relates to the cruel assassination of a gallant youth who was beloved by all classes of the English nation, ‘fell upon the House with Ceathlike silence. 'Many members allowed copious tears to fal], and there was weeping among the oc- cupants who, advanced though the hour wis late, remained in periion of the cham- ber allotted to them, expecting that the Government would give publicity to the sad facts,care having been previously taken, at the telegraphed instigation of Sir B. Frere, to communicate them through Lord Sydney to the Empress Eugeme, the widowed and now sadly bereaved mother. j It was the saddest scene I ever witnessed.”

To the Editor of the Examiner. Sim,—Among the principal notices in our Island newspapers, several from the De- partment of Marine and Fisheries, con- cerning the illegal taking of different kinds of fish, hold conspicuous places. Despite all these notices, and the appointment of fishery wardens, no restrictivn at all seems to be placed over certain conscientious characters around North Lake, who are daily netting the largest and most beautiful trout with which its waters abound, North Lake is famed as being one of the best-—if not the best-—trouting stream in the Lower Provinces. Pleasant angling can be had here any day during the season, for as many as wish to enjoy this recreation ; and is the whole business to dwindle away to satisfy the mean, rapacious greed of two or three hungry sharks in that vicinity, who would ‘‘scull” adozen of them around Souris a whole day for twenty cents? If these characters are caught peddling netted trout around Souris again, their names will be given publicity for each offence. I call on the President of the Fish and Game Association, and, through him and the Fishery Warden of tke place, on the Gov- ernment to protect this stream from the ravages of such mean, contemptible fellows as set nets to destroy this fish every night in the summer and autumn seasons. ANGLER. Souris, July 9, 1879. —_——_- > o- >--e The Fire Department.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Six.—In no city in the Dominion do the firemen—as far as I know, see and hear— exert themselves any more, and, as can be proved by past experience and observation, with more success than in this city, where we have to contend with every difficnity, among which may be enumerated : a very poor fire-alarm, a great scarcity of waters— which is the ‘‘sinew+f war’ at a fire,— and very little pay or thanks for our efforts at a fire—excepting the destruction of our clothes, ete., and a day or two of lost time in recovering from colds and soreness contracted thereby. This last griey- ance has a notable example in the case of Mr. Henry Palmer’s “card of thanks” to the citizens, and in which no mention is made of the firemen. This, no doubt, is because we ave paid for our work and why thank when such is the case? Or it may be, as | heard his brother state, that we did not do our duty or the dwelling might have been saved. This is a mistake, as at no fire for many years, did the Department work harder than at this, and were it not for the scarcity of water Mr. Palmer's house would have been saved. Our Company worked hard and with a will, and it is too bad that a slur and a dirty blow should thus be aimed at the Department in this manner by a person who has not a very enviable re- putation to loek back apon as a former Chief Engineer of the City. For if ever property was sacrificed under the charge of a chief it was during the incumbency of this man who thinks that $5.00 per year is snf- ficient remuneration. for the firemen with- out thanking them.
Better judges than Mr. Palmer, give us credit for good work; and one in particular, an experienced railroad superintendent, stated that he never saw firemen work harder or with more skill than they did at two or three fires that he witnessed, not even excepting the paid departments of large cities ; and where we work against every disadvantage, we should receive a small amount of gratitude, at least, from the citizens. It is cheap, as it costs neth- iny ; but it would go a great length in en- couraging us, etc. Some of the citizens may reflect on the management of the Chief. But we know that the Chief's hands were fearfully tied for the want of water ; and they do him an injustice in so doing. He is the most indefatigable Chief that we have ever had inthe making of cur De- partment, as well as the working of it.
Promising to return to the subject of the Fire Department again,
I remain yours, Hook & Lapper.

The Zulu campaign has brought to light many serious deficiencies in the British military organizatior. These appear most glaring and indefensible when it is remem- bered that the war is being waged within a few miles of a British colony. Two results will, undoubtedly, follow from the contest. First, a reerganization of the Imperial forces, with a view to increased strength and efficiency. To secure this object, a royal commission of army officers has been appointed and is now in session, prominent among its members being General Sir Pat- rick McDougall, commander of the Imperial troops in this Dominion. Second, a system framed with a view to utilise the the re- sources of the colonies in time of war. These steps are initiated not a day too early when the London ‘‘ Globe” is able to say, and that truthfully :—‘* Whenever a war arises in any colony, it finds not only the colony itself unprepared, but the Mether Country uncertain on every point which is necessary to be known beforea war can be undertaken with assurance of
success.”
