When the police were returning to Ennis |

from Bodyke, last evening, at Fort Anbeg, within two miles of Tuila, an armed party was lying in wait and opened fire en the

pelice from the adjoining wood, fortunately |

deing no injury. The police returned the fire, but with what effect isnet known. A warter of a mile further they were again red on by another party from behind some hedges, and one of the horses, on which sat Ceunty Inspector Smith, was slot dead. The police searche! the fields and three men were arrested. but they had no arms. The arrested men were brought up to the petty sessions and remanded. Alarming accounts eontinne te come in from other parts of the country. Lonpon, June 3.

The Times condemns the Government's imactivity in Irelan«\, and says : little hope of immediate improvement if events are allowed ‘o take their course, if the Land League is permitted to carry on its propagandisin, inthe spirit revealed by Byans's letters, an. if any attempts to re- eever rent or enter upon possession of land held by defaulting tenants are to be resisted with open and outrageous violence.”

The House of Commons adjeurns over from the fourth to the tenth inst., for Whit Sunday holidays, and consideration of the land bill in committee will be postponed.

When progress was reported on the land bill in the House yf Commons, yesterday, the committee was discussing line 13, but as the firat seven lines belong to the pre- amble six lines represent the amount of progress made in three sittings. The bill eontains ] 085 iines.

A fire at the east end of London totally destroyed 30 houses, including a range of workshops and some schools.

The bailots show Coukling’s strength in the Senate to be 9, and if these unite with the Democrats would adjournment 16 to 16. Thus adjournment might be defeated unless Mr. Hoskins votes yea. The adjournmsnt will be defeated if there is any way to doit. Conkling prob- ably wants to take one ballot to-day and adjourn the Legislature until Tuesday. The ballot te-day will not be essentially different from yesterday, it is thought.

New Orveans, June 3.

Steamer City of Merida, from Vera Cruz will be detained at quarantine 72 hours. Capt. Eads says his concession is the most liberal grant ever made by the Mexican Government. lt is very favorable to the United States.

General Grant is great'y irritated over the Conkling a Tair, and eagerly reads ali the despatches. He says Conkling has been shamefully treated and should be re-elected te the Senate. abnse of Conkling is instigated by White House influence, but not by Gartield. He re-affirms his letter to Senator Jonvs, ef Nevada, but wil! take no hand in the fight. He pronounces as untrue Governor Yeungs statement of bis connection with the U. 8.

LETTER FROM AN EXPERIENCED SEAMAN IN- TIMATELY ACQUAINTED WITH THE GULF.

so Extensive Show of New Goods

an editorial or two concerning the commun- | Island with the Mainland |

Te the Kditer of the Examiner. Sin,—Having lately read in your paper

ication of the during the winter months, and describing

the best method in your opinion, for the} terins of Confederation to be carried out—'

that is as 1 suppose that we were to have continuous communication by steamer with

ithe other side during winter season—1l may

say that |, with many others, coineide with | . ? i

your suggestions for bringiug the winter |

| service into a nore eflicient state than it is

/at present, and | approve in general with

your views, especially with that part, as re- gards having two sma)] steamers to cross in connection with the ice punts.

1 would recommend that these steam beats, or rather steam launches, should be built with a bow, after the fashion of the raise, that ia to run under the ice, instead of over it, the outer end or point to be twelve or eighteen inches under the water, extending out six or seven feet and raising inwards up to the vessel’s deck. Itis well) knewn by practical men, that ice when raised out of the water, immediateiy breaks to pieces, when at the same time it is next to impesssible to shatter it by run-

leave the vote for)

ning on toit. A vessel built to run on it would require to be in form of a sleigh runner, which would make her unht for a sea going craft, as it would be impossible to

steer her with a strong wind on either bow. lt would be wecessary to have}

one of these steain launches kept on each | side of the straits. The one this side to | be used in times when the winds prevail | \from north to east, Ww hich winds drive the} ice tothe other side, often making from | three to six wiles of water, and generally | \a heavy sea—too much for the small boat

| sible for the boats to work through, but } would be no stoppage at ali to a steamer.

| site direction, the same state of the guif | would oceur for the steamer on the oppo- site side. Therefore it would appear to me |to be a matter of necessity to have a boat

ice-boats come out over the field ice to eet them, and exchange mails and passengers | end each return to its own side. | ‘Lhe only difficulty Ican think of is | whether it would be possible for the steam- |ers to ksep their docks open in the board jice in very hard weather, and when the drift ice is driven by heavy gales up on the beard ice. But I imagine that it may be possible for each one to keep her dock clear while the ice is driven on her side of the straits, as she would only have to employ herself at that play during such times. But this is a problem that will only have to be solved by experience—as all this sort of ice navigation has to be done—for it 1s a pe- culiar tactic that cannot be acquired by any theoretical instruction as to building boats for the service or any other part of it, but must be entirely the result of great prac- tical and hard earned krowledge.

By adopting this plan of a steamer on eacii side, there would be this great advan- tage—that they could always make their dock in the board ice, as they would have

no heavy iee to contend with.

I would suggest that the ‘ Northern Light” be left to ran where she is, as it is undoubtedly the best place for her, and there is no doubt that she has done good work under the able and skilful manage ment of Capt. Finlayson and his officers, and as she is the first vessel of the kind that has been in this service, notwithstanding ail the hard things that have been said of ber, asshe is ouly an experiment, in my opinion, she has done wonders ; fer I never

Hw» thinks the newspaper | expected her, as you mention in your paper,

to take more than a monthcr six weeks off each end of the season ; but she ran the winter of ‘80 through, except one month, aud last winter ran from November until the 20th of January, and commenced again the latter end of March.

There is no doubt, by having a large and improved vessel in her place, and the sug- gestion | have mentioned carried out at the Capes, the communication will be carried eut as near perfection as possible.
