ly seems that the majority for the Con servative recently elected in West Nor thumberland was slightly smaller than tha‘ of the Hen. Mr. Cockburn in the general election. Considering that the recent con test was merely a by-election, and the Con- servative candidate a ‘“‘ new man,” this is not at all wonderful.

Hawrrax and St. John papers are vigor- ously pressing the claims of Halifax and St- John to be the winter ports of Canada This is a point on which the people of the Maritime Provinces should be as united and determined as the people of Prince Edward Island should be concerning im proved Winter Communication.

Ir is pleasing to note that the advantage of importing British goods for the Western Canadian market, ria Halifax, is being re- coguized. The last English steamer landed eight hundred and fifty tons of her cargo at Halifax. This, the Intercolonial Rail- way is now promptly conveying to its des- tination in the Upper Provinces.

Ir will be seen that the Hon. Donald xYerguson, in the letter which we publish to-day, completely disposes of the charges preferred against him by the Patriot in connection with the McDonald-0’Farrel ease. That is the real reason why the Patriet refused to publish Mr. Ferguson’e letter. We greatly fear that ‘‘ fairplay” is a jewel, not contained in the Patrit's casket of gems.

AT a temperance meeting recently held in Ottawa, Sir Leonard Tilley drew attention to the fact that forty years ago the con- sumption of spirits in the Province was five gallons per head, now it is only 14 gallons. The cost to consumers of liquor in Canada was $18,000 annual'ly, and for every dollar expended for religious purposes, $7 were squandered on whiskey. He agreed with Mr. Gladstone that the loss of revenue from this source was only of secondary inport- ance.

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Australia to an English paper, says: ‘“‘If British energy is not aroused British trade will receive a death blow here, as we now re- ceive from the Yankees carriages, organs, furniture, timber, doors, windows (a frame box is sold here for less than I can buy the timber), ploughs, axes, hatchets, spades, nails, locks, hinges and general iron-mong ery, garden seats, India-rubber hese, per- ambulators (much prettier articles than anything I have seen from the old country), and lately I see a large quantity of saws; in fact English hardware in general is being rapidly driven from these parts.”

OwR cousins across the border are a great people, and, though they have a National Policy, they have lots of money. It is said that under the Act to pay expenses inci- dental to Garfield's illness and death, (now before Congress), bilis amounting to $3125,- 000 will be paid. Bliss, Agnew and Hamil- ton will receive about $24,000 or $27,000 each; the four nurses will receive $2,500 each; Dr. Lamb, of the Surgeen-General’s office, will receive £100 for the autopsy, and Reyburn, Bliss’ assistant, will receive a reasonoble sum. But it is not known what charge the railway companies wili make for the use of special trains, or the construc- tion of uew tracks of Washington and Long Branch. Theres millions in it.

Tue joy bells rung to-day were a lively manifestation of the deep and hearty feeling of gladness with which the return of the Steamer Prince Edward is hailed by the community. Had they been rung athine o'clock, instead of at twelve, the manifes tation would have been more timely; but this is emphatically a case in which it was better to act late than never. No such storms as those with which the Prince Edward successfully contended, have raged over the face of the Atlantic within the memory of the present generation. Our steamer was at sea so long that we were many days ‘‘ between hope and dispair ;” and were, indeel, just on the borders of dispair when the news came that she had been ‘‘spoken” by the Jowa. But the great confidence reposed in the good quali- ties of the vessel, and Captain and crew, have been fully justified; and we have them all home, safe and sound once more.

Tue social evil has had the attention of the press and people of Toronto for some time. Whether good or more evil will result from the discussion remains to be seen. ‘The following from a letter to the World is of special importance to parents: ‘* { think the greater part of this social evil is the fault of the parents themselves. For instance, you can walk on Yonge street any night in the week and can see young girls from fifteen to eighteen years of age, ready to strike up an acquaintance with any young man they meet. This is the first step towards ruin. The other steps are made in a short time, hence so many houses of ill-fame in Toronto. If parents would look after their daughters of an evening this evil would be abolished to a great extent. And for the Government to try te put it down is impossible; for while parents allow their daughters to promenade the street till ten or eleven o'clock at night, the ruin of young girls will continue and houses of ill-fame will exist.

lug steamer ‘‘ Prince Edward,” Capt. Fraser, which passed through Canso yester- day, arrived at this port at 9 o'clock this morning. The wharf was crowded with citizens, who assembled to give the passen- vers, officers and crew a hearty greeting. As she neared the wharf, A. McNeill, Esq., Clerk of the House of Assembly, in sten- torian tones, proposed three cheers for Captain Fraser, his gallant officers and crew. The cheers were loudly given, and when the steamer was moored, the Captain, oflicers, and Messrs. Patrick Blake and John McGill were warmly welcomed by their many friends. They all looked re markably well, and do not appear to be atfected by the long, rough passage. The following summary is made up from the steamer’s log, which was kindly handed to us-by Mr. John Welsh, Ist officer: —

The Prince Edward sailed from ‘ iverpoo for this port on Tharsday, the lIth of Nevem ber. She experienced common Atlantic weather, strong to moderate breezes etc., until the 15th at eight am, when a heavy sea commenced to run, and then she labored heavily and shippedjwater fore and aft. At three o'clock, p.m., a WSW gale set in accom panied by heavy rain squalls and tremendous heavy The ship labored heavier and shipped more water fore and aft, and her head was turned to the sea for her safety. The wind at four p.m. o’eleck, veered to NW, and the weather continued severe with the ship heading the sea to the best advantage. At eyht am., the following morning the gale moderated a little, but still a very heavy sea ran. At eight a. m. on the 17th, the wind, which had been varying, blew from SSE, and increased to a gale, accompanied by thick rain squalls aad heavy sea. The ship, as before, labored heavilyjand shipped water fore and aft. Her head was again turned with bow on to the sea for her safety. This weather continued with more or less severity until the 2ist, at six a. m., when a hurricane blew from the NE. The ship had to be run before the tremendous heavy sea, and in this position she continually labored and shipped heavy seas fore and aft. The gale moderated and the weather commenced to clear up at noon, but was followed by gales of more or less severity until the 23rd, at eight a. m. when it blew another hurricane from the westward. Heavy seas were shipped, ani the pole compass, lanterns, and many other things around the deck were carried away. ‘The weather towards the night of the 23rd moderated, and so continued with ont exception until the 29th. On the 27th, the Chief Engineer reported that only two days ccal were left, aud the captain and officers concluded it would not be prudent to burn all, steaming against a gale in which the ship only

seas.

made from four to five knots per hour, and the

distance to the nearest port was 440 miles. Chey thereiore stopped steaming, and waited achance of calm weather. The fires wer:

aceordingly burned down, and the ship lay

too. She drifted to the ESE., about a half mile per hour. On the 23th, at8 a. m., a fresh gale set in. set to keep the ship's head to the sea and the men were employed in gathering all availabl wood to put on steam at firat chance. The ship could not be kept to the sea, and thus she lay in the trough of the ocean, with her officers powerless to do anything with her. In this way sh» kept drifting ESH, at the rate of 14 miles per hour. The gale continued to strengthen, and at 5a.m, on the 29th, the ship was struck by a -heavy sea fon the port side, breaking the fere-rigging, smashing the rails and starting the deck so as to cause it leak badly over the main hatch. At 8a. m. the gale was terrific, the sea was tremen- dous, and the ship was rolling in the trough

of the sea and _ straining seriously. The main trysail boom breke and sail was taken in, aud the ship lay to

under bare poles, as she would try as well without sail. At four p. m., the gale muder ated, and so continued until the lst, They concluded that if thejvessel would sail under canvass, they would run back to Ireland. At one p. m., they got off before the wind and sea with all sail set and engines going. Shortly the engines were stopped. The vessel would not steer. She came up in the wind. Again it was started, but without success

Sail was then taken in, the fires were put out. Thus she continued to ‘‘rock in the cradle of the deep” amid stormy weather, until the 4th when she was spoken by the steamer ‘*Towa” which ship she asked to tow, but owing to the stormy weather and high seas the ‘‘ lowa’’ was compelled to proceed with- out giving any assistance. Nothing worthy of note occurred until the 7th, when at one o'clock, p. m,. they sighted the steamer ‘‘Themore.” The captain asked2 to be towed, but the ‘‘Themore” steamed away, and then came back. Her captain asked ‘To whnt port do you want to go?” Cap- tain Fraser replied: ‘‘ St. John’s, Newfound land.” A boat was lowered from the *‘ Prince Edward,” a line was ran on board the ** Thermore,” and their steel hawser was bent on. The ‘*Themore” started ahead, and in doing so broke the hawser. A similar attempt was made and the hawser again broke. It being rough, they did not think it prudent to make a third attempt that night and the steamer agreed to stay by until morning. On the morning of the 8th the weather was clear and moderate. The ‘‘Themore” steam- ed up alongside aud secured the * Prince Ed- ward” with a steel hawser, 60 fathom of chain cable, and began to tow her towards St John N tid. The wind on the Sth, 9th, 10th and ‘Ith was from moderate to strong breezes, and the weather from fine to thick and misty, with occasional snow and hail. The towing was quite successful until 11 o’clock p. m., on the 12th, when the tow-line broke and the **Jhemore” lay by until next morning. The next day was cold and heavy squalls prevailed. From 4 a. in. until 5 p. m. was spent in get- ting the ‘“Themore’ tow-line again on board the ‘‘ Prince Edward.” It was done without any serious mishap, and the steamers again proceeded towards St. John’s, They experienced on the following day moderate breezes and weather. On the 15th at noon, they made st. John’s Harbor, aud at oue p. m. the ‘‘Themore” again broke the towline, and steamed up clear of the ‘‘ Prince Edward” and she after getting the towline aboard proceeded to St. John’s and took in bunker coal. She remained there until Sun

day the 18th, and proceeded te this port.

This morning Qouncillor Chappelle set a movement on foot to have the bells of the d fferent churches rang, as an expression of joy-for the arrival ef the ‘* Prince Ed- ward.” Accordingly a request was sent by the Mayor to the various churches of the city, and at noon to-day the bells of St. Dunstan’s Cathedral, St. James’, St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s Churches, with both fira bells, rang out a hearty welcome to the steamer apd her yallant olficers pae-

senera and crew.

The main trysail was

To the ‘‘ Prince Bdward.”
