NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.

Haurrax, ct. 18.

Schooner Anita, from St. John for Crook- haven, deal laden, was towed in here this afternoon, dismasted, by the American schooner Lizzie H. Clark. The Anita was dismasted in the gale of Sunday last.

Arrived at Liverpool, N. 8., brigantine Sophia, Capt. Wm. Long, from St. Thomas, and reports as follows :—

‘Oct. 4th—Lat. 32.20 north, long, 71.32 west, encountered a furious hurricane, backing from 8. E. to N., the heaviest of the gale being from the north, during which was compelled to run south under bare poles for ten hours.

** Oct. 7th—Lat. 31.26, long. 71.33 ; re- ceived on board the captain and crew of the brigt. Emily, of Swansea, their vessel being in a sinking condition. The Emily was from Charleston, bound to Newcastle, 23 days out.

‘* Same date, lat. and long., spoke the iron Ship Kirkham, from Bull River for London, with bulwarks all gone on the starboard side, cargo shifted, mate and two men severely injured; wished to be re- ported.

** Same date, lat. and long., spoke a Nor- wegian bark with lower masts sprang, top sails blown away, and the vessel leaking badly.

** Oct. Ith—Lat. 34.02, long. 72.15, spoke the brigt. Prince Leboo, from Wilmington for Belfast ; wished to be reported.

‘* Oct. 17th—Lat.-41.50, long. 66.52, saw a ship with signal letters, M. N. C. J.; wished to be reported all well.

‘*‘ At the same time spoke the schooner Alfred Whalen, of Gloucester, at anchor ; reported fish scarce at the banks.

Lonpon, Oct. 18.

The ofticial report of the investigators into the affairs of the City of Glasgow Bank, just issued, is worse than the gloomiest anticipation. The loss shown in the balance sheet is £5,100,988. ‘This loss, with the addition of £1,000,009 capital, the share- holders have to make good, The report shows the practice of systematic deception since the commencement of the year, in the weekly return of the amount of. bullion on hand which the bank was_ obliged to make to the govermnent so as to show that its funds in bullion were maintained in due proportion to its note issue. The reports have been falsified by adding _ thereto imaginary sums varying from £60,000 to £300,000. The directors’ reports to the shareholders also overstate the amount of |the securities and bullion held in reserve by £926,000 and £200,600 respectively, and underestimated the loans they granted by £1,126,764. The directors furthermore have been in the habit of rating in the balance sheets £7,345,357 of bad debts (over half of. which is due by four debtors) as available assets.

The principal assets of the bank are bonds and shares of the Western Union Railway (of the United’ States) and shares of the New Zealand and Australian Land Com-

}pany, the value of which is estimated at

£358,450 and £973,845 respectively. Crowds were assembled before the bank and Exchange awaiting the report, which caused great consternation. w

A call for £500 per share is anticipated, which it is thought half the shareholders will be unable to pay. The remainder of the shareholders will ultimately be com- pelled to pay double.

Sr. Pgererspure, Oct. 18.

All the reports of the Emperor’s. with- drawal from.State affairs are semi-oflicially denied. ‘The course of public affairs will not be changed. | In oficial circles the view prevails that there has been too much re- tormimy lately, and that there had better be a pause in the path of inharmonieus changes.

Lonpon, Oct. 18.

The Times Berlin despatch says : ‘Ne- gotiations concerning reforms in Asia Minor at last promise some result. There will be a mixed Christian and Mussulman police, to be commanded by Efiglish oflicials. “An English Assistant Ji#@ge will be added to each Court of Appéal.” The Government and Head Tax Gatherea will be appointed and dismissed, subject to English approval. These and some other equally important clauses have been approved in principle by the Porte. j Orrawa, Oct, 18,

Robert MeAulay, the Grand Chaplain of the Orange Young Britons, has been miss- ing since the Ist inst. His body was found in the Rideau river to-day, shot in the back of the head. The murder is attributed to the late religious disturbances. The inquest is pending.

Lonpox, Oct: 18.

The British bark Lilla, Woodworth, from St. John, N. B., for Warren Point, put into Queenstown with her bowsprit and foremust gone and four feet of water in her hold.

Cosure, Oct. 18.

The Duke of Edinburgh has started for Marseillas, to embark on the Black Prince, and sailfer Canada, to welcome the Mar- quis of Lorne and the- Princess Louise on ; their arrival there.

ConsTANTINOPLE, Oct. 18.

The Russian army still remains at Baba Eski and Lula Bourgas, about. 100 miles from Constantinople, and will make no}

urther movement. |

A Difficulty.

Tue following is from the Ottawa des- patch to the Montreal Gazette :—

** In the hurried action of the dying Gov- ernment in the destribution of patronage, difficulty seems to have been created with regard to the Supreme Court. By clause 9 of the Supreme and Exchequer Courts Act it is enacted, in reference to the oath to be administered to presiding Judges, that ‘* said oath shall be administered to the Chief Justices of said Courts before the Governor-General in person administer- ing the Government of the Dominion, in Council, and to the puisne Judges of said Courts by the Chief Justice.” The absence from Canada of Mr. Justice Richards would, under the above clause, and according toa high legal opinion, render it impossible, that Mr. Justice Taschereau, recently ap- pointed, can act until the return of Chief Justice, who alone is empowered to adminster the oath of office to puisne Judges of the Supreme Court. Again, it is enact- ed under the Supreme Court Act, that five Judges shall forma quorum. The resigna- tion of Mr, Justice Taschereau, and its ac- ceptance, destroys the quorum of that Court, and makes it necessary to reargue causes heard at the last sitting of the Court, andrenders it imperative to postpone the sitting appointed for the 30th inst., until such times as a quorum of the Court can be re-established.

Terrible Accident.

A terrible accident occurred at Frederic- ton, N. B., about four o’clock on Thursday. Dr. Jack, of the University, was driving to- wards home in a single carriage, in company with Miss Jack, his eldest daughter. The reins got under the horse’s tail, The Doc- tor drew suddenly on the rein, which caused the horse to make a quick start to the op- posite side of the street, passing the corner of Mr. Temple’s new residence and going smartly towards the river. The Doctor then drew on the other rein, which brought the horse suddenly round, capsizing the wagon and pitching both Dr. Jack and Jack violently to the ground. Miss Jack jumped to her feet at once; but almost-im- mediately sank down, exclaiming, ‘‘1’m killed.” Blood was then coming from her mouth and nose. It is sypposed that the spine was injured, as she died almost im- mediately. It was reported that Dr. Jack had lost his left eye, but fortunately such is not the case. has. a seyere scalp wound over the left eve, and is otherwise severely bruised, but it is not now thought serious. The deepest sorrow pervades, all classes in the city. It was thought at first that it was one of the Doctor’s horses that had been in the habit of running away, but such was not the case; the horse was a very quiet one. | ve

Notwithstanding the high position which England holds among the Christian nations, it is sad to.observe so little improvement is shown by criminal statistics in the of a large class of its population. _ In tl year 1877 there were 77,982 arrests in Lon- don alone. Of these, on the male side of the count, there were 15,614 laborers, 2,044 carters, and 17,727 individuals with- out trade or profession. Of the women a large number were washerwomen, 1,302 do- mestic servants and persons withont regular employment, 20,007. Of the whole num- ber arrested judgment has been passed on 54,034. ° As to education 7,020 men and 4,206 women could neither read nor write; 26,617 men and 13,665 women could read or write imperfectly; 85. menand 6 women had received a superior education. Drunkeness was the sole offence in 25,000 cases and the accompanying offence in a a good many others; 6,139 were cases of theft. More than one-sixth of the articles stolen were recovered by the pohce. -The number of persons who disappeared during the year was 11,699, of whom: 6,160 ‘were found by the detectives. Of suicide there were 24), besides 333 attempts at the same crime.

Propvctive Orncuarp.—In the vicinity of Woodstock, on one and a half aecres-of land, the property of .L. P. Fisher, Esq., nearly 400 barrels of apples were gathered during the present season. Some years ago Mr. Fisher had 2,800 trees planted: six feet apart on two acres. This year the yield was about 100 barrels. Assuming the pro- duce in the course of three years at one bushel to the tree, not an extravagant amount, Mr. Fisher will have’a large quan- tity of frnit to gather at that date. Plant: ing the trees so close together is am ex periment made by him which it is to be hoped may prove successful.

Str Garner Wotsztey is only forty five. He has never handled a large army. “At school, near Dublin, he was a close student of engineering. He was wounded while in the Crimea and fought bravely in India. He visited the Confederate army,and form- ed the opinion that Lee was the greatest military genius since Napoleon, and that he was greater than the German generals of this generation. For his Ashantee expedi- tion he was knighted and given £100,000,

TuERE is an agitation in Glasgow against the begging in which the ‘‘Little Sisters of the Poor’. Roman Catholic order—are eugaged. It is said that the ‘‘ Little Sisters of the Poor” ought not to be allowed te beg when others are dealt with as vagrants for doing so, and. a mewoarial is to be pre- sented to the magistrates on the subject,
