The Reception in St John.

Tue splendid reception given the Gov- ernor General and the daughter of our gracious Sovereign speaks volumes for the energy, enterprise and loyalty of the people of St. John. A little more than a year ago their city was laid in ashes. Now they are able to receive the representative of the Crown and the daughter of our Queen in a manner truly noble. We are informed and believe that nothing could be more sincere, spontaneous and heartfelt than the welcome which the dwellers around the mouth of Saint John gave to the Governor General of Canada and his Royal wife.

The Crops in Great Britain.

The agricultural depression in Great Britain, already prevailing so generally, will take on a still gloomier aspect in con- sequence of the damage done by the storm which set in on Saturday the 19th July and continued until Monday. Torrents of rain fell ; large quantities of cut hay were float- ed ever the tields ; and fruit trees and stand- ing crops suffered heavily from a violent gale. In Belfast the streets were flooded, and the low-lying districts of Down and Antrim ceunties were under water. The crops in Yorkshire and Derbyshire were ruined. The London ‘‘Times” character- izes the season as one of the wettest and dreariest on record, and the hopes which had been entertained that the werst of the weather was over, were disappointed. There is no doubt that the excessive rain and the absence of sunshine have done much damage. In France and Germany the wheat crop is likely to be short, both ,countries having suffered$ as well as Great Britain from heavy rains. The only eorn-growing countries from which an ad- ejuate supply can be looked for are South- ern Russia and America. ‘‘Mark Lane Express,’ in its weekly review of the corn trade, makes a discouraging report. Bar- ley is the least satisfactory of the crops—a circumstance especially unfortunate, as a larger acreage than usual was sown. The prospects of wheat are net hopeful, even on light soils; and on heavy soils not more than two-thirds of a crop is looked for. Oats are ‘doing moderately well, but are not up to the average. A general rise in the prices of most grains is reported as the immediate consequence of the return of dull weather. The position of the British ten- ant farmers was serious before, but if the present season is as bad as it now threatens so be, it will be lamentable enough. All de- partments of trade and industry must share in the injury inflicted upon the agricultural interest, and the outlook is far from being a bright one.

Lieutenant Pope’s Diary.

A diary picked up at Isanduia, contains a memoranda written on the very day of the massacre, and one item must have been inserted within an hour of the enactment ef the tragedy. The diary belonged to Lieut. Pope, of the Seeond Battalion of the 24th Regiment, who was among the killed. ‘This officer was a cousin ef the Hon. J. C. Pope, Minister of Marine. Portions of the record cast a lurid light on some of the events of the dreadful day. The entire record is as follows :— ‘‘Four a. m.—A, CO, D, E, F, H, 1, 2.3, N. N. C., mounted troops, and four guns off. Great firing. Relieved by 1.24. Alarm. Three columns Zulus and mounted men on hill E. Turn out! Seven thou- sand more E. N. E., 4,000 of whom went round Lion’s Kop. Durnford’s Basutos ar- rive and pursue with rocket battery. Zulus retire everywhere. Men fall out for dinners.” The Toronto Mail remarks : The first sen- tences evidently refer to the departure of Lord Chelmsford early that morning with a portion of the column, and to the composition of the force led by him. The rest is .sadly significant. The Zulus suddenly appear in great force in different directions. After making their observations they rapidly disappear in one direction, pursued for several miles by poor outwitted Col. Durnford. All looked serene. The soldiers fall out for dinner. But mean- while tie crafty savages are rapidly form- ing their crescent behind the shelter of the hills, and with such celerity did they move that in about one hour frem the time of the record by poor Pope of the falling out for dinner, the massacre at the camp was over.

} THH VIOH-RHGAL VISIT. THE VICE-REGAL PARTY AT MONCTON—AD- DRESS OF THE FRENCH ACADIANS.

The Moncton Times of yesterday reports that: This morning the train carrying His Excellency the Governor General and H. R. H. the Princess Louise reached Moncton Station at 8 o’clock, stopping at a point which brought His Excellency’s car oppo- aite the Station House and Restaurant. About thirty feet from the place of landing, a beautiful arch, tastefully decorated with evergreens and surmounting a raised plat- form, had been prepared, and beneath this arch His Excellency and Her Royal High- ness received the address of the French Acadians. On the side of the areh, facing the Vice Regal party as they landed, ap- peared this inscription : ‘‘ La Marquis De LorxNE ET LA Princesse LOUISE SONT LES BIEN VENUS EN AcapiE.” On the other side of the arch appeared the words: ‘‘Vive ta Princess Loviss.” arch was a crown made of evergreens, and at each corner of the platform was a column of evergreens, similarly decorated at the top.

The address was read in a clear distinct tone of voice by Mr. Girouard, Mr. Gir- ouard, M. P., and there were present a large number of French people, including sich prominent men as Hon. Peter Lan- dry, Chief Commissioner of Public Works ; Mr. Theirault, M. P. P., and others whose names are appended to the address. On the platform, in addition to his Excellency’s suite were His Honor Governor Chandler and the members of the Local Government, whe were presented to the Vice-Regal party on landing from the car.

May tr PLease Your EXcELLENcyY :

The Acadians of New Brunswick gladly em- brace the first opportunity offered them of ex- tending to Your Excellency and to Her Royal Highness, your worthy consort, their most sincere homage.

[f, to-day, we are not the most numerous in this Province, we were, at least. the first to inhabit it; the first to apply the axe to its ex- tensive forests; the first to cultivate its soil, and the first to raise within its borders the standard of Civilization and Christianity.

To the title of Pioneers of this country we add that of loyal subjects of Her Majesty, our most gracious Queen, of whom Your Excel- lency is the worthy Representative, and Her Royal Highness the beloved daughter.

It is this loyalty which kindles within our breasts the earnest attachment and sincere de- votion to Your Excellency, which it is our pleasure to feel, and which renders us justly proud of the Most Gracious Princess, who, to- gether with Your Excellency, presides over our political destinies.

Thanks to that admirable constitution of of which the British Empire and its domains justly boast ; and thanks to those great and learned men who are the true interpreters of that Constitution, we have nothing to fear for our political future. On the contrary, we ren- der heartfelt thanks to the Almlghty for having blessed us with such able and enlightened rulers.

And we ardently pray that a_ beneficent Providence may long spare Your Excellency and Her Royal Highness to share our loyalty and devotion, trusting that it may be said of us, as was said by one of your honored pre- decessors of the French (‘anadians, ‘‘ the last cannon ball which shall be shot from New Brunswick in defence of English rights and English liberties, will be shot by a French Acadian.”’

Rev. A. Cornier, P. P., and others to the number of 28, being the committee appointed to draft-and present the address.

After the presentation of the address, Miss Henrietta Poirier, of Shediac, stepped on the platform and gracefully handed the Princess a very handsome bouquet of flowers, which Her Royal Highness kindly received and graciously acknowledged. His Excel- lency then read his reply, which being, like the address, in French, we are unable to publish to-day, as we go to press immedi ately after the ceremony.

This over, His Excellency remarked that he hoped to visit us in finer weather, and the party immediately moved forward to take the cars for St. John. At this moment the rain, which had been falling all the morning, came down in torrents, greatly dampening the enthusiasm of the people who, to the num- ber of a thousand vr more, had assembled to witness the proceedings and see the dis- tinguished visitors.

Her Royal Highness, we are told bya lady friend, was- very plainly dressed but

looked pleasing and attractive, and we have | the same authority for the remark that the Marquis is ‘‘nice” looking —all of which we | think critically correct, particularly as re- |

lating to the Princess.

PREPARATIONS IN CHARLOTTET OWN.

The City Council, last evening, appointed a Reception Committee, consisting of

>»

Councillors Beer, Byrne and Lawson, and/

placed $200 at their disposal.

Work on Pownal Wharf is being rapidly = forward. The Committee, we be- leve, intend to decorate it and build; beautiful arch. — It is arranged that the Vice-Regal part shall drive to ‘‘ Sea Side Hotel.” ce

And now the Sons of Temperance are moving in the matter of the Vice-Regal

ance is requested for to-morrow evening, in Division Room, Queen street.

Members of the press, from the other Provinces, are not used to the scant courtesy with which it is customery to treat members of the press in this Island.

Only a week left; but willing hands can do a great deal in that time. —- <> o——___-_ —_ -—-
