Souris Breakwater. Yo the Editor of the Hraminer.
Sir:—I am pleased to be able to an- nounce to you that the Souris Breakwater is now being rapidly pushed forward. to completion by the energetic and persever- ing contractor, Pierce Doyle, Esq., whose knowledge of public works of this character is pretty extensive, and who has always had the reputation of being punctual in carrying out the many contracts he has had. Mr. Doyle has had a Mr. Ramsay from from his own part of the country as fore- man. ‘This man, although a good enough workman, didn’t appear to push the work with any great impetus, and Mr. Doyle has therefore lately discharged him and has now Mr. Coffin of St. Peter's, as foreman, who appears to be rapidly doing most excellent work. We are of opinion that if Mr. Doyle had had Mr. Coftin in charge from the beginning he would now be much more forward with his contract. Mr. Doyle has three cribbs of this tmportant work nearly completed and will be ready in ten days for putting out the outside crib and spur. The work looks well and is as strong as wood and iron can make. it, and the part completed is well tilled with stone. . The timber of which this work is construeted is large and sound, and well and closely fitted; well fastened, and quite up to the specification in every particular, M. Doyle intends having enough of stone on hand in schooners and scows to secure the outside crib from ordinary storms so soon as placed in position. (He has nearlyall his timber on hand and has also a large quantity of stone quarried. We wish Mr. Doyle. every success in carrying out this desirable pub- lie work, thus making Souris a harbor of refuge—giving good facilities for trade, and enhancing the value of real estate in the eastern section of the country. It affords us much satisfaction too, to be able te state that Mr. Doyle will clear a handsome profit
money on. it.
The Souris Breakwater reflects very great credit on Mr. Doyle and also on James Me- Donald, Esq., the Government Inspector.
I am, ete., JUSTICE.

Wood Islands Breakwater.
The Kings County Advertiser reports that the construction of this important as work was commenced by Mr. John
. Stewart of this town on the 12th of May last and satisfactorily completed on the 15th of August, for the sum of $3,000. We have been credibly informed that the workmanship is very substantial, and strict ly in acedrdance with the plan and speci- fication laid down by the Department of Public Works. It has been erected at Victoria Harbor, Wood Islands. The di- mensions of this work are, length 350 feet, and width 22 feet, which gives 8 feet of water at the outer end at high tide, and at present affords shipping facilities for vessels of small tonnage. Farmer residing in Wood Islanis, Belle Creek, Little Sands, and Rona, who formerly were compelled to haul their produce to Montague Bridge, a distance of upwards of sixteen miles, are now enabled to ship their grain with far less labor and expense in their own neigh- borhood. The proposed extension of seven hundred feet, if erected, would give vessels of average tonnage ample accommodation, which we believe will be accomplished at an early day. The Gevernment Dredge, allow- ing for disadvantage of low water, ren- dered good service in that locality this summer.
+e Hardships at Sea.
The Advertiser reports that in a letter re- ceived by Mr. John LeBrocq, of George- town, from Capt. Hector Murchison, of the: brigt. G. W. Wakeford, dated at Baltimore on the 6th inst., a brief outline is given of another perilous adyenture, incident to sea-, faring life. While his vessel was lying at Morant Keyes, W. I., the captain and two men started ashore in a small boat, and be- fore reaching the shore they were suddenly caught in a equall, and tick weather, which drove them out to.sea a long distance. Unable to see land, or the vessel, they were three days and nights in this perilous situ- ation, without food or water, which terribly exhaused all hands. At length, by cutting up their clothes and making a sail for the boat, they reached Jamacia, where they en- gaged a schooner to bring them back to the vessel, The captain states that he was badly burnt by the scorching heat of the sun, owing to the want of clothing, and could not stand upon his legs for four days afterwards. His friends will be glad to learn that he is fully restored from the effects of the great hardship he endured on this occasion.’ The G. W. Wakeford isnow loading at Baltimore for Ireland.
William Shaw, a leading Home Rule member of Commons for the County of Cork, has written a letter refusing to par- ticipate in the proposed Irish National Convention. He proposes the establish- ment of a Convention to discuss the land

EUROPEAN. Lonpon, Sept 15. Sir Garnet Wolsely telegraphs from South
Africa that all important Zuln chiefs have
now subinitted to the British authorities.
The movement in Oldham to adopt some place other than Liverpool as the centre for raw Coiion, does not seem likely to come to anything. The. Manchester Guardian says itis understood that an agent from New Orleans has been in Oldham relative to the purchase wf cotton direct from the producer, but the great majority both of private firms and limited compauies are averse to substituting American for English cotton agencies. 7
The correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, at London, says Lord Cranbrook, Secretary oi State for India, has. gone to Balmoral, and although it is said that. his visit-is merely routine dnty, it is thought he can only be absent at such a critical time to consult the Queen on some course which the Ministry have decided upon. No body would be surprised if. his visit is fol- lowed by an early summoning of Parlia- ment.
A despatch from Cario says it is expected that negotiations between Egypt and Abys- sinia will be successful. King John of Abyssinia has consented to ‘an interview with Col. Gordon.
Lord Beaconsfield delivered the speech at the agricultural banquet at Aylesbury on Thursday. Referring to American compe- tition with Great Britain, he said: “‘The greatest apprehension is felt in the United States that they cannot compete with Cana- da, owing to their high taxation and high wages. Since the surrender of the ter- ritory of the Hudson Bay Company, Canada has become possessed of an illimitable and and fertile wilderness. Nearly all of the chief landholders in the extreme Western States of America have sold out and gone to that wilderness and begun the work of cultivation there. He had heard on high authority that Canada expected to outstrip the United States in the competition for the European markets. . He therefore ad- vised the farmers of England not: to be precipitate. . Another high authority had informed him that under all circumstances the markets of the United States would be disturbed, and that with the impulsive character of humanity in the Utiited States, the Candian . wilderness would soen he oc- cupied by millions.”
A despatch from Candaharsays that Gen. Hughes’ brigade has been ordered ‘to Khelates The Ghelzia) regiment at Herat mutinizel on the 5th inst., and murdered their coramander.
The ‘‘Standard’s” Ali Kheyl despatch says, inteiligence has been received of a terrible outbreak at Herat. The troops have revolted and murdered the civil and military authorities.
UNITED STATES.
The Butler Convention at Worcester yes- terday, and the Butler Democrats at Wor- cester on Wednescuy, both nominated Ben- jamin F. Butler for Governor. He is now the nominee of three Conventions.

Lonpon, Sept. 18. Thos. C, Scott, an agricultural authority, writes as. follows: The Government.and trade estimates show that the surplus of wheat in America, Russia and in the Hast is 505,000 quarters less than the aggregate
deficiency in the yarious countries, and a.
rise in breadstutffs is therefore anticipated.
It is believed the newspaper war. be- tween Gerniany and Russia was a mere diplomatic comedy to test the intention of France,
Sir Charles Tuppe rs Steel Rails Purchase.
The following ph appeared in the Dundee (Scotland) Advertiser at the time of the purchase, by Sir Charles Tupper, of steel rails in Great Britain for the Canada Pacific Railway, and speaks for itself :—
“‘We understand Messrs. John Wallace & Co., iron and steel merchants, Dundee, have been the successful contractors to sup ply 15,000 tons of steel rails and fastenings for the Canada Pacific Railway, The Cana-
dian Government asked tenders for 15,000
tons, but the Minister of Railways and Canals considered the prices quoted by the various firms so very moderate that he has bought in all 60,000 tons. Steel rails were never sold at the prices ofiered before, and it is considered unlikely they will ever do so again. The demand for pig iron and old rails for America is developing, and freights from Glasgow to New York, which for
long have been 2s. 6d., were 12s. 6d. last
week.”
The Moneton Times remarks : ‘‘Sir Char- les Tupper purchased his rails last month for less than one-half the figure Mr. Mc- Kenzie bought at four years ago. The pur-
chase was most judicious,as there is now an ~
upward tendency in the market,”
