SHORT HISTORY OF THE ENGAGEMENT.

—

Jcsr as we go to press, a despatch from the Eastern Cable Company's ship, of Alexandria, at 12.40 this morning, says “The ‘Inflexible’ and ‘ Tormoraine opened fire yesterday morning on Mondri- etfer Fort, which had been repaired during the previous night. The first three shots greatly damaged th@ batteries and a signal has just been given to cease firing. The ‘Achilles’ has just been sighted, steam- The ‘Condor

ran within twelve yards of Maibon fort, a single shot would have sunk her, and before the signal

was given to cease firing, she silenced three

from which

great guns on the fort.

Admiral Seymour signalled ‘‘ Well done, ’ Condor.’ ”

A despatch from London dated Jaly 12th says that Admiral Seymour has telegraphed as follows:—‘‘ A party from the ‘ Invinci ble’ landed’to destroy Fort Mezburst which they did, leaving three spiked guns. None of the party were killed. Lieut. Jackson was, however, severely wounded, Lient. Davids and Midshipman Gunsde! slightly wounded

A despatch from off Alexandria at 1.30

and

o'clock, p. m., says that ‘‘a flag of truce was displayed from the town and an Egyptian ship with a flag of truce is now approaching the fleet.” The Times enys England’s determination has produced a most favorable impression, and there is no ground for assertion that it was high handed or unnecessary. Gambetta regrets France is parting com- pany with England after presenting ulti- matum to Alexandria together. Orr ALEXanprRia, 6 p. m., July 11. The bombardment commenced at 7.45 a.m. The ironclads ‘ Superb,’ ‘ Sultan” and ‘ Alexandria’ engazed and totally de- stroyed fort Pharos and the lighthouse battery, which are at entrance to new port, and intended to dominate the approach to the new harbor, Flag ships ‘ Invincible,’ ‘Monarch’ and ‘ Penelope’ took up com- manding positions inside the reef, and, assisted outside by the ‘Temeraire,’ attacked with destructicn the strong position of Fort Mex, with the lighthouse and shore bat- teries. The 'Irflexible’ was stationed so as to command the lighthouse batteries and Fort Pharos and Fort Mex, at the same time in position to co-operate with the divi- sion outside the‘ V’ and that inside the reef. The gun vesssels ‘ Bittern’ ‘Condor’ * Beacon’ ‘ Decoy’ and ‘Cygnet’ attacked the Marabout batteries at the entrance to the harbor, and taking close destructive range soon silenced them, after which they ran in, shelled Fort Mex ou the southern side of the entrance to the anchorage or out harbor. The ‘ Invincible,’ under cover of her own guns and those of the ‘ Bittern,’ then landed a party of blue jackets and marines, who entered Fort Mex and blew up the heavy guns. The bombardment practically ceased at noon,though some heavy guns were | still shelling Fort Napoleon—a large work | at the southern angle of the inner harbor, and dominating the town. The fort does not reply. On the whole, the Egyptians fought their batteries with more determin- ation than was expected. Several earth- works, on which guns were mounted, were found mere heaps of sand. Lonvon, July 11. The Standerd’s correspondent on the ‘ Invincible’ telegraphs that the forts and batteries on the sea face are a heap of ruins. The Egyptians stuck to their guns un til the forts were crumbling. The aim of

'ment when arriving many years ago from

the Egpytian gunners was clearly directed

THE DAILY HXAMINER,

St. Peter's Bazaar.

l'ur propitious weather, the festive scene at the Drill Shed, the fragrant odour of the strawberries, the linguishing strains of the orchestral music, and the charming har- mony of the Glee Club—all these succeeded ia making the bazaar a wreat success. Soon after the opening, the Shed began to fill, and during the concert the crush was quite roo! too!! even for a bazaar. The gay decorations were pleasing to the eye, and the remarkably pretty Rebecca’s well was very attractive and successful. The dis- play of flowers added very much to the beauty of the scene, the ferns being ex- tremely handsome and in great demand. We have one complaint to make: ‘* tea on table at six o'clock,’ so ran the advertise- ment, but when we put in an appearance ut that hour, we found all the = seats already filled; nor did we succeed in gain- ing a seat till nearly eight o'clock. Never- theless, we took tea with a charming com- pany, and were pleased to hear, when we had finished, that the ery was ‘‘ still they come.”” And the children! how they did enjoy it. The blackest and softest of molasses candy covered their fingers and faces; the creamiest of ice creams were unmediately followed by gulpings of lemon- ade, while the doctors smiled benignly, and to-day we await the results. The scene was very gay during the concert—the mass

of bunting, brightened by the gas, the summer costumes and the wsthetic dresses presented a lively and cheering appear- ance. We cannot give a lengthened ac- count of the concert, but we here express our thanks to the performers of both the Orchestral Club and the Glee Qlub for the great pleasure they afforded the audience, and we feel certain that it will be a long time hefore we again enjoy such a pleasant evening. As far as we can learn, the pro- ceeds were about $600, -—-—e oe

Too Much Governed.

In the course of an excellent article on P. E. Island, a correspondent of the St. Johu Telegraph says: *‘ It is no discredit tc the Province to say that the dimensions of the whole Island are not large. The space of ground enclosed within the South coast of the Straivs of Northumberland, and a slightly curved line drawn from Chatham to the railroad terminus at Harvey would about represent the size of P. E. Island. The writer well remembers his astonish-

| for bis health.

Europe, at coming on a colony su extre- mely small, but possessing ail the ma.- | chinery of Empire—king, lords and com- | mons—and being shown in the ‘‘ Houses of Parliament,’ ‘the throne,’ and a small | pew, like one in a country church, set aside | for the ‘heads of departments.’ Since | then he has come to appreciate the | glory of this pocket kingdom and| to rejoice in its perfect machinery, which stands ready at any moment to undertake the government cf any quantity of dependencies. It is true that in this travel- ling age, since Confederation, a ‘‘ political ” sect has arisen that professes not to see the necessity of two legislative houses to admin- ister the expenditure of a sma!! revenue in and reads and

Their elevation was bad. The ‘Invincible’ | was seldom hit, but the armor of the ‘Superb’ was penetrated. The Egyptian | vincers set good examples to their men, | often jumping upon the parapets to see the effects of their fire.

The marines who landed from the ‘Invin- cible’ to blow up Fort Mex, saw several

dead and dying inside the fort. The Egyp- |

tians had no shells, which accounts for the | small number of casualties on the British | vessel. ae — Result of the Recount.

SeTtinc aside the uninitialed ballots, | amounting to about six hundred and forty, | the result of the recount is that Dr. | Jenkins is two votes ahead of Brecken, | Davies forty-two ahead of Jenkins and) forty-four abead of Brecken. We understand that Mr. Brecken intends | carrying the matter before the Superior | Courts, on the ground that a large number | of electors have been deprived of their | votes. On this ground the election must, | in justice, be declared void; and a new

election will ensue. )

The Asylum Matter. TAYLOR,

LETTER FROM DR.

Tv the Editon of the Kraminer.

Sirn,—With reference to Mr. Jenkins’ let, ter, in yesterday’s issue, it is plain that his object is to injure Dr. Blanchard. This, in- deed, has been the object of all his letters on the Asylum management.

Daring the time that Uliver escaped, Dr. Blanchard was absent from the Island, | have advised him to take an occasional res!

It is impossible that any man of a moderately sensitive temperament ae have a continuous, management of lunatics, | without great danger to his health. There- fore Dr. Blanchard’s going away was not a remissness of duty.

While Dr. Blanchard was abseat, | was the Medical Adviser to the Institution, although [did not re ide there. Dr. Blanchard is no more responsible for what to: k p'ace in the [nstitution while he was absent than Mr Jenkins. I accept all the responsibility which, in consideration of my circumstances, properly belongs to the office of Medical Adviser during Dr. Blanchard’s absence.

I trust that no one will henceforth make the Oliver business an excuse for an attack on Dr Blanchard,

Now, I may be allowed to say that I know Dr. Blanchard well I have att-nded at the Asylum for some years during his als nea Dr. Blanchard and I have consulte:i frequently on cases of mental diseases. I have had opportunities of seeing how asylums are mar- aged abroad, and 1am bound to say that I cousider Dr, Blanchard is highly accomplished in his branch ot the profession. 1 believe he understands mental diseases as well as any man in Canada. From what I observe in our Asylum, I consider he manages it in a first rate manpner—equal to any I have ever seen. Che patient« all love him, Ihave been par ticularly struck with the affectionate manner in which they all speak of their doc tor, I was informed that when Dr, Blanchard left this summer, he cal'ed up his subordinates and strictly detined their duties, and charged them to do their work well,

As regards the inquest held by Dr. McLeod, [ was present during the delivery of the most important evidence. The Coroner did his work well, He was very particular to enquire about all the important facts. I did not sce how he could have done his work any better, There was no nec ssity for adjourning the Court, as all the facts possible were elicited during the first situing. If Dr. McLeod were anxi us to inculpate some one for personal reasons, there might have been an excuse for adjourning the court.

I am, yours truly, Ff. P. Taytor.
