Tue retirement of Hon. George Irvine from political life will be a serious loss to the eppo- sition in Quebec, far above al! of whom he towered, both as respects..character and brains. Mr. Irvine until a few years ago was identified with the Conservative party, hold- ing office inthe earlier provincial. govern- ments, and iu Dominion politics has always been understood to lean towards his old friends. His appointment to the Vice. Admirality Court jadgeship comes through the Federal Government, who in naming him, have recognized his ability and experience at the bar and given a capable man to the bench.

‘imal tiesue, indicsting that the bird had probably carried it for years. The bullet weighs an ounce and was hammered round and not cast as is usually done. The bird seems to have suffered no isconvevnience from the additional weight, as Mr. Tanton informs us it was one of the best that ever came on his table. — Pioneer.

We left Pietou at noon on the 3rd of May. All went well antil reaching East Point, when we met the ice. Finding ne passage, we turned round and steered through the Straits, and on the following day succeeded in getting cluse up to Cape Traverse There we found the ice tov heavy to proceed further and cast anchor. We remained at anchor all the following day.
On Tuesday morning we again started to try the East Point passage. We got there that afternoon, and found the ice just as heavy asever We could not get round the Point and so laid to all the night. On Wednesday it was foggy, and we continued to lay to, avoiding the ice as much as pos- sible. Thitsday was clear, and we got into open wator clese under the Island, and remained all night. On Friday we ROUNDRD EAST POINT,
in company with the steamer Benona, and, finding plenty of open water, steamed away along the land. That night we were to the westward of Cape Turner. Saturday was a dirty day, blowing hard, and _ thick. Towards evening, the weather cleared up; but finding that the ice was driving down on the land we turned round aud steamed to the eastward for
MORE OPEN WATER
which was found of Litte Rustico. We laid there all night. Sunday morning the weather was very bad, blowing hard from the Northwest aud thick with snow—ice closing rapidly. We just moved engines when necessary to keep clear of the larger nans. At 10a. m. the engines were useless. To move them any way was inpossible— we were so closely packed. About lla. m., THE FINAL CRASH CAME
We got nipped that “tight that’ the ship began to lst and the ice was piling over the rails. It looked as though she would be buried in the ice. Next, the plates on the starbourd side forward gave way, and the water came in rapidly. Weedid our
best to stop the leak, and imme- diately commenced te discharge cargc, After shifting a few coals we dis-
covered a very much larger hole than we had seen-——-must have been about two feet equare-—it was plugged hard with ice, and was making no water then; but I fz lt quite snre thar, when the ice once came out, there would be no saving the ship. We, therefors, lowered the boats on the ice and hauled them a little way from the ship. The ship was
; RAPIDLY SINKING.
The crew refused to do any more, and left the ship, remaining on the ice by the boats. A short time after she sank, head first.
We remained on the ice all night, and started on Monday morning for the shore, which we reached about 9a. m. Three of the men turne!t back, thinking it better to stay by the boata than veuture the pgssage to the shore.

THE THREE MEN. SAFE. HEROIC CONDUCT.
-e-
We learn that the three men Jeft on the ice landed at Cable Head early yesterday morning. having suffered greatly from their long exposure on the ice. It is reported that they saved some of their baggage.
A correspondent of Tue Examine at St. Peter’s Bay reports (May 13) :—This morr- ing a party of six from St. Peter's Bay and Cable Head, viz: Michael McKenzie, Sr., Neii McKenzie, Andrew Simons, Alex. McKenzie, Stephen Sutherland, and Michae! McKenzie, Jr., proceeded to the relief of three seamen still om the ice, part of the crew of the sunken steamslip Tunstall. A dense fog prevailing at the time, rendered the undertaking 1 2culiarly hazirdous. However, precious lives were at stake, and they proceeded; and,after in- numerable hardships, landed the three men safely on shore. Such acts of daring should not go unrewarded.
