The Scene Last Night.

On the second day of the session, the Hon. Leader of the Government scouted the idea —advanced by Mr. DeBlois—that there need be any reserve on the part of the gen- tlemen who seceded from his government. If the Lieutenant Governor should refuse to grant permission to them to give a full exposition of all the reasuns which led them to resign he would leave His Honor’s eoun- cils instantly.

Acting on permission received from the Lieutenant Governor Mr. Prowse, last evening made a ‘‘clean breast of it;” and the Hon. Leader of the Government called him anything but a gentleman.

We know not whether Mr. Prowse was right or wrong in making the statement he did. But this we de know, he had a high precedent in the recent statement of the Earl of -Derby respecting the intended seizure by the British Government of the island of Cyprus. It will be remembered by many of our readers that the noble Ear! gave this proposition—made months before by Lord Beaconsfield—as ene of his reasons for leaving the British Government at the time he did.

Suppose two gentlemen have a private eorrespondence, and one asks the other to let him make use of it publicly ; and sup pose the latter assents : would he be justi- fied—after the correspondence is published —in calling the former ‘‘a black-hearted traitor” and a ‘‘ snake” ?

Admit, fora moment, that Mr. Prowse was wrong in taking advantage of the per- mission of the Lientenant-Governor, is that any reason Why the Leader of the Govern- ment—the greatest gentleman in the land— should try, with success, to distinguish him- self in the character of a fishwife ?

Local and Other Items.

Tue excitement in regard to the poison- ing of Mary Ann McCabe, of West Oxford, N. B., has been revived by the arrest of herthusband and Dr. Bowers on the 3rd. Her brother asserts that he has obtained additional evidence sufficient to convict

them.

At the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court this forenoon, William Horne, drunk and incapable, was fined one dollar and costs or four days. James Murphy and Patrick Brogan, arrested on warrant for vagrancy, were each sentenced to two months im- prisonment with hard labor.

Last evening a fellow named McCloskey en- tered the ‘‘Italian Warehouse’; snatched a bottle of whiskey; and was leaving the store when a clerk memes to stop him. Mc Closkey dealt him a heavy blow on the head, then left and ran up Dorchester street, brand- ishing the bottle as he went along. Two men who were in the store at the time started in pursuit, but he disappeared from their view in an alleyway. The police joined in the search, bat McCloskey has eluded their vigilence up to the present.

In Queen s County Jail to-day, Thomas Cam- f Crapaud, was exammed by Theoph. Deabri y; = and committed for trial at the next session of the Supreme Court, for as- gaulting a young lady resident of Lot 30, grith the intention of committing a rape. The ‘statements of the witnesses show that on the @ist day of June, 1877, a tea party was held in DeSable. While there Cameron asked her to drive with him to the Melville Road. When she got into the wagon he drove off to a lonely ral the vicinity, and carried her from the wagon into a thick woods; then assaulted her in a violent manner, and attempted a rape. She cried lustily for assistance. Some people who heard her cries rushed to the scene, and met Cameron returning to the road. Going further into the woods they found the young Jady. She told them what had occurred. Search was made for Cameron, but he could ‘mot be found. He left the Island, and, up to .& fow weeks ago, was unheard of.

The Princess Louise is having photo- graphic views taken of Rideau Hall from different points of observation for the pur- pose of transmitting them to the Queen, at whose request they are being prepared.

A large number of Conservative mem- bers representing Ontario constituencies waited on Hon. Mr. Tilley yesterday after- noon, and presented a memorial setting forth their views on the tariff, especially as regards agricultural products.

The probabilities are that the Budget Speech will not be delivered before the 14th inst., and, perhaps, not then.

The Finance Minister is exerting him- sels to push the matter through, and his = 13 seriously effected by much over- work.

Lonpon, March. 6.

A Tashkend despatch says that the news of the Ameer’s death has been received there, but not officially.

The Afghan Ambassadors have assured Gen. Kauffman that the Ameer would never consent to negotiate directly with the Eng- lish, but would implicitly follow the Czar’s advice, even though it should cost him part or the whole of his territory.

After the war, the Ameer had expressed to them his determination to carry on the confiict with England energetically ,and he felt that his country had strength to carry on the war fully two years. .

It is further stated that the Ameer’s son

—Yakoob Khan—was of the same opinion as his father, and supported him in his de- termination to resist and repel the in- invaders.

The Post hears that it is probable that a commander of higher mark than Lord Chelmsford will be sent to Cape Town, in which case Chelmsford would return a sub- ordinate commander.

Major General Sir Daniel Lyons, Quar- termaster-General of the army, is men- tioned in connection with new appoint- ments.

The News says : ‘‘ Chelmsford is a fail- ure and ought to be recalled, as the disas- ter of the Zulus was due te miserable blun- dering and helpless incapacity.”

REPORTS, DISASTERS, ETC.

Capt. Dougall, of the barque Viking, from Norfolk, for Lowestoft, before reported ab- andoned and crew taken off by barque Essex, at New York, makes the following report : Sailed from Hampton Roads Feb, 18, and had brisk N. I. winds and fine weather until the 20th, lat. 36.30, long. 93.20, when the wind shifted suddenly to N. W. in a terrific squall at 6 p.m., and blew a furious gale. At 8 p- 12., while on the starboard tack, we shipped a heavy sea, which threw the ship on her beam ends and shifted the cargo to port. I then ordered the helm hard up in order to get-the vessel before the wind, but she would not answer her helm; I then set foretopmast stay- sail, and hauled down the weather crew of the foresail, aud finally got her before the wind. At9 p. m. weshipped another heavy sea over the stern, washing away the men at the wheel and breaking the stern gear. The rudder being now use‘ess, the ship broached to port, and the wind threw heron her beam ends again, shifting the cargo to starboard; then, in order to keep the ship head to the sea and up- right, I was obliged to cut away the foremast, whica, in falling, took the maintopmast with it. After getting the wreck clear of the ship, we sounded the pumps and found three of water in her hold. The pumps were started and continued at without a moment's inter- mission until the 23rd, when we were taken off by the barque Essex, from Eleppo for New York, leaving the Viking sinking on the 23rd at 4 p. m.

Capt. McMillan, of barque John F. Robert- son, from Cardenas for New York (before re

rted at Philadelphia for repairs) makes the

ollowing statement: Feb. 17, Cape Henry bearing W. S. W. 25 miles, at 3 a. m., wind E. N. E., cloudy weather, was run into by a barque, supposed to be the Sam Shepherd; the ship was on starboard tack, heading north; sighted a green light on port bow for own light burning brightly), and stove on, expect- ing the stranger to alter her course, she being on port tack, butit appears that there was no lookout aboard the barque; hailed, but she took no notice except to show a flash light and still kept on, and ina few minutes struck us at port mizzen rigging, carrying it away; also fouled yards, breaking upper maintopsail yard and springing lower one, carrying away main and maintopsail stay bits at foremast, leav- ing mast unsecured and causing a bad leak; also badly tearing and chafing main- sail, upper maintopsail and miz- zen _ staysail, breaking maintopmast crosstrees, damaging restletrees, taking away port main and topsail braces, blocks bumpkin and steerage gear and all attached, breaking all poop rail, top of houses, part of taffrail, stanchions, waterways, causing the house to leak badly; also the skylight. The barque then dropped clear and we hailed her again, asking her name and for assistance, thinking my vessel was in a sinking condition, but she paid no attention whatever, and kept oe away from us; we made temporary repairs an at 3 p. m. on the 19th, finding mainmast work- ing badly and increasing; for safety of ship and cargo, deemed it advisable to bear up and run for the nearest port, which was Delaware Breakwater, where we arrived at 5.30 p. m. same day, and held a survey on the vessel, which was orded to proceed to Philadelphia and make necessary repairs. a

A private dispatch from Ottawa states that vigorous steps are being taken to pre- vent the possible recurrence of the disgrace- ful scenes of the late state ball at Rideau Hall. Over one hundred and fifty names have been struck off the list of visitors, and a determination is expressed to treat future offenders against propriety in the same manner.
