CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER.

MonrrealL, Nov. 5.

Hon. J. H. Pope, Minister of Agricul- ture, was elected for Compton by acclama- tion.

The telegram sent to the Orangemen of Cardwell, the day previous to the election, signed ‘‘ David Grant, County Master, Montreal,” to injure Tox® White, is said to be traced to Jim Stewart, Manager of the Montreal ‘* Herald.” Full revelations will appear in to-morrow’s ‘‘ Gazette.”

The pool between the Montreal and Do- minion Telegraph Companies has been defi- nitely settled. It is feared that the old price will be kept up.

‘The second snowfall of the season to-day and severe cold.

Canso, Nov. 5.

The schr. ‘‘ Centreville,” Capt. Murray, loaded with oats, from Charlottetown, bound to Halifax, went ashore in St. An- drew’s Channel last evening. The vessel will likely prove a total loss. The cargo will probably be saved in a damaged con- dition.

The schr. ‘‘ Four Brothers,” of Sydney, C. B., 104 tons, Capt. Farrel, laden with potatoes, from P. E. Island for Boston, ran ashore near Cranberry Island this p. m. The vessel lies in a dangerous position and will probably be a total wreck.

LATER.

The schr. ‘‘ Centreville,” before reported ashore, has slipped off the rock into deep water. Some four hundred bushels of vats have been saved; the remainder will be lost. Cargo partially insured. No insur- ance on vessel,

Lonpon, Nov. 5.

The London Times, commenting on speeches of the Liberals in Parliament, holds that mere party criticism should be postponed to the duty of promoting the work to which the country has put its hand. Itis manifestly unfair to criticise the Government for difficulties created by passions or unscrupulousness of Russian politicians. If inadequate measures are being taken to carry out the Berlin Treaty, by all means let inadequacy be exposed; but let it be exposed with a view to the adoption of more effectual measures for car- rying out that treaty, and not for the pur- pose of discrediting and weakening it. England, with the support of Western Europe, has pledged its name and fame to rescue the East alike from anarchy and from absorption in one vast despotism. If possible, let better means be pointed out for attaining that end, butlet it never be left out of view.

Thomas Bhem, the last of the English Fenian prisoners, has been released.

Boston, Nov. 5.

Massachusetts Republicans elected Tal- bot over Butler by about 30,000 plurality; they also elected 10 out of 11 Congressmen, and a large majority of both Houses of the Legislature.

Returns from New Hampshire indicate Natt. Head, Republican, elected by the people, and all Congressmen Republican.

In Connecticut no election of Governor by the people, but the Legislature is prob- ably Republican.

New York, Nov. 5.

Edward Cooper, Republican, was elected Mayor of New York by 14,000 majority.

A letter received from Port au Prince, | October 8th, giving accounts of a severe storm which swept the southern coast of Ireland September 4th, says over 400 houses were destroyed at Aux-Cayes, and the Car- ribean Sea and several interior streams rose and flooded the city. Large rocks were transplanted by the sea into the middle of streets in some places, and many lives were lost by persons being drowned or buried in the sand transported by the sea, with rocks heaped up in the city. Other towns of the South suffered in like manner. Aquir and Cavaillon were completely de- stroyed. Over sixty persons lost their lives in the former place. Lause-a-Vere was also visited by the tempest, but the damage was not so great. The misery of the inhabitants in these devastated cities is incalculable.

The Hickon Ridge colliery, near Shamo- kin, Pa., was burned. Loss unknown. This throws about 200 men and boys out of work,

EK 7, 1878 NO. | NEWS BY T E L EGR APh. ie: City of Glasgow Bank Failure.

ee ae

rs NO, 435,

(From the Monetary Times. )

_ Since we dwelt upon the causes and the probable results of the stoppage of this ‘large banking institution, now seve weeks ago, news has come of the arrest of |the directors, and their commitment to | prison upon the charges of falsehood, fraud and criminal mismanagement, falsification of the returns made to the Government of the gold held by the bank against notes issued. The legal issue was limited to

72,921, but at the suspension of the con- cern the note circulation was £868,403, and the coin amounted to only £321,763, but the deficiency was made to appear less by illegally including coin lying at the bank’s branches. Notice of an assessment of £2,800 per share was given on the 25th ult. by the liquidators of the bank ; one instalment payable December 22nd, and another on February 24th, which must ex- haust the means of the smail holders, and will leave a heavy sum to be made up by the few wealthy ones. A summary of the shareholders, given in an Edinburgh paper, is as under :—

These aggregate say £870,000, and in ad- dition, the bank held, according to the Economist, £153,536 of its own shares, in- stead of the ‘“‘four and a half millions” mentioned in laie cable dispatches. From the classes of people described in the above list it may well be inferred what distress and ruin will be occasioned to most of the thirteen or fourteen hundred people scat- tered over Great Britain. Widows, spinsters and tradesmen, to the number of over four hundred, held from one share to one and a half each, upon an average ; and the number of merchants and manufacturers was much smaller, as may be seen, than than that of the professional and non-mer- cantile classes. A number of minor firms had to suspend payment early last month, and the heavier failures since, with con- nections abroad, have produced something very like a panic in the English share market. Money abruptly hardened when, a fortnight ago, a million of sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank of England and dispatched to Scotland and Ireland.

Among the houses who are embarrassed by the City of Glasgow Bank’s stoppage are the following, with the amounts appended for which they are indebted to the bank :—

Smith, Fleming & Co., India mer-

cass 40a cue eee ee £3,000,000 Heugh, Balfour & Co., shipping, DE oe 2,000,000

James Morton & Co., New Zealand

and australian trade, land and

of a shipping firm. «.:5c0%........ 1,500,000 *Wm. Taylor, grain merchant..... 500,000

The two first-named and Morton’s firm have failed since, also Wright, whose liabilities reach a million pounds.

The names marked with astar are those of directors of the bank. Among the other directors were Mr. Stewart, an Edinburgh merchant, for whom bail to the amount of £500,000 has been offered, but refused ; Mr. Inglis, a landed proprietor, and Mr. Salmond, who was manager of the same bank in 1857, when it stopped. Beyond the fact that some Gl w corn merchants, who had been connected with the bank, found difficulty in retiring corn bills, the feeling early in October was that it would affect the corn market, only in a general dullness, and perhaps slight decline caused by fear of further complications being re- vealed.

On Sept. 20 a monument to Frederick William LITL., of Prussia, father of the pres- ent Emperor of Germany, was unveiled at Cologne. It is a colossal equestrian statue, 22 feet high, with pedestal figures 9 to 10 feet high, representing prominent persons and events. It weighs 34,850 kilogrammes, and cost 150,000 thalers.
