New York, July 19.

A special examination into the relations of the United States Government to the projected Darien Canal has been made for the forthcoming International Code Con- ference in London, by A P. Sprague, Secretary of the American Committee. His report will show that the United States is precluded by both national and interna- tional law of policy ‘rom claiming exclusive control over the whole enterprise. The treaty concluded by the United States and Great Britain in 1850, and still in force, mutually guarantees the neutrality and protection of any canal across the isthmus, undertaken by any parties, upon fair and equitable terms, with the consent of the Government threugh whovse territory it should run.

Six new cases of yellow fever were re- ported to the Board of Health to-day.

The cessation of business here has thrown 10,000 people upon charity, and only a few wealthy people have remained to battle with disease and help the pauper multitude.

New York, July 21.

A despatch from Memphis reperts the fever is spreading.

Business is dead, and the authorities re- commend the evacuation of the city. Prob- ably a relief committe will be formed im- mediately, and the Government called on for aid. Business men are making arrange- ments to conduct business in other locali- ties.

The Board of Health of this city say no extraordinary precautions will be necessary to preserve New York from the fever.

Ten new cases are reported. There are several other cases in the city, which will be reported to-morrow. The city authori- ties are sending poor people out of the city.

Citizens continue to leave ‘in large nuin- bers.

THE KEENE WHEAT DEAL.

New York, July 20.

The Times’ special from Chicago says :— ‘The Keene Wheat ‘* Deal” has probably closed, after an unusually long existence of about nine months. Last October James Keene entered this market as a buyer, and after picking up several millions bushels here, found it necessary, or advisable, to extend his operations to other cities. Since last autumn he has partly controlled the world’s supply of wheat, and but few people have been able to trade in it without paying him tribute. In the past nine months he has handled 30,000,000 bushels of wheat in this and other markets,—about two-thirds of the whole bcing bought and sold in Chicago. The operation closes with about 4,500,000 bushels of No. 2 spring wheat here and in Milwaukee, which had been dexterously ‘‘ unloaded ” to the trade, during the last 30 days, and is now in pro- cess of delivery on July contracts.

Herring Fishery.

A Newfoundland correspondent of the Montreal Gazette gives the following inter- esting account of the abundance of herring at Salmonier, on the St. Mary’s Bay, about 50 miles from St. John’s. We should cer- tainly think that if the state of affairs des- cribed applies to any extent of coast, that the fact should be most important te our fishermen and merchants interested in the fish trade :

“While { was on a recent visit there in company with His Excellency the Gov- ernor and a small party ef his friends, Her Majesty’s steamship the Druid, Cay- tain Kennedy, employed in the protection of our fisheries, was at anchor in the Arm. One day the captain, by way o° experiment, dropped into the water a seine which he had on board. ‘To his astonishment he en- closed a huge mass of herrings so dense that it was with difficulty the seine could be dragged ashore, and the quantity cap- tured in the single haul was estimated at 30,000 or 40,000 herrings, and was valued at £80. No one was aware of the existence of these herrings in the arm, and as there were no means of curing them, they were given away to the people to con- vert into manure for their fields and gardens. ‘he herrings, we found on en- quiry, come in regularly in shoals twice a year. They are plump and of excellent quality, averaging 12 ounces in weight. What a fine herring fishery might be estab- lished here by an enterpising person with some capital, who understood the art of curing them. The captain ef the Druid in- formed us there was enough herring in the Arm to lead one or two large steamers, and yet‘there was no one to notice them, the people being engaged in the cod fishery during the day.

The Heirs of Pius IX.

The lawsuit of the heirs of Pius IX. threatens to be a most complicated ecclesi- astico-legal problem. The Mastai family have no intention of putting forward merely a claim to the valuable property of which the three Cardinals are administrators ; they even assert their right to the yearly stipend of 3,000,000 lire which the Italian Government, by the provisions of the Guarantee Law, covenanted to pay to the Pope, but which Pius IX. steadily refused to handle. The law provided that the ac- cumulated annual sums, five years after the date of the payments, if not claimed by the Pope, should revert to the coffers of the State. The sum for the first five years fol- lowing the promulgation of the Guarantee Law thus became null and void ; and if the Pope had repented of his obstinacy at the close of his life he could only have claimed the payment of the sum accumulated since the sixth year following his deposition as secular ruler. This sum would have amounted 18,000,000 lire, and the Mastai claimants demand that it shall now be paid to them, as the late Pope’s legal heirs. Even if the Italian Government should ad- mit that Pius LX. died as the creditor ef the nation, the case of heirship would be hard to settle, for their is absolutely no precedent on the Papal side.

A Horrisie Tatz.—A most horrible tale comes from Fort Saskatchewan. A letter dated June 7thh, says: ‘“They have an Indian in jail here for eating his wife and children who died of starvation—at least they said they did; but it is expected that the redskin murdered some of them himself. Capt. Cagnon, Dr. Herchmer, and three Seoneill policemen, went out to examine the remains, and on his return he had a bag full of bones and four skulls with the flesh all cut off. The docter said they had been boiled. The bones were broken and the marrow taken out, and the skulls were also smashed in and the brains extracted. The culprit was taken before the Colonel and was shown one of the skulls. He took it in his hand and nonchalantly turning it round and round, remarked that it was his daughter’s, and the brute actually smacked his lips ! Fur- ther details are promised.
