A TROTTING

We understand that some of our leading merchants have petitioned the Mayor to call a public meeting to discuss the feasibility of obtaining a water supply for fire purposes- Whether we have water for domestic use or not we cannot afford to risk the city any longer without a full supply for the fire de- par'mont.

Mr. C. Lewts, photographer, has executed two photographs of the Post Office—one while the building was in flames,and the otheras the walls now stand. The photo of the building in flames is truly sublime; but when the absence of firemen and spectators in the sur- roundings is noted, it becomes ridiculous, Mr. Lewis deserves credit for his enterprise.

Scrrosep Loss or a LiverPoot VESSEL AND Twenry-kicnt Lives.—It is feared that by the wreck of the Liverpool sailing ship **West Ridge” 28 hves have beén lost. ‘The vessel left the Mersey for Bombay on the 28th of June last, with a large cargo of coals, and as she has not been heard of since the 13th of the following month, when she was reported in Lat. 44 N., Long. 9 W- She is posted at Lloyds as missing —that is, lost with all on board, Joseph Gillis, P.

Os Saturday last we suggested the pro- priety of railing in the cellars, cleaning up the refuse, and otherwise making the premises on Richmond Street, the scene of the late disastrous fire, passable for pedestrians. But owing to negiect, wilful or otherwise, our suggestion has not been acted upon. The cellars are yet unrailed, hatches protruding out on the sidewalk a distamce of five or six feet are still open, piles of brick, which are neither ornamental or useful, cover the side- walk; in fact everything in the neighborhood is in the opposite condition to what it should be. The sooner those in authority arouse from their lethargy and give this matter their very serious consideration the better for all

concerned. >

SIR,-~—An advertisement sivned Thorp,” on behalf of the owner, appeared in Tae Examer a week ayo. the first issue was scareely dry when Mr. Thorn’s challenge was accepted, by Mr. J. D. MeLeod, for ‘‘Dartmouth,” owned by Mr. R ©. MeLeod, of Summersice. Mr. Thorn, when his challenge was accepted, was pot man enough to make the match, but iguominiously backed down; yet kept his challenge in the paper. There must be some imean.and underhand motive in this; and I think owners of: trotting stallions should take no notice of such a contempt- ible pack.

Storms Predicted.

—-

Dr. -E.-Sroxe Wieers, the Weather > « ° ; . a. Prophet, writes to the St. John Sun giving

timely warning of the approach of two

storms, the first of which makes its appear- ance on to-morrow afternoon (the 27th inst.) and thé second on the 27th of March. Professor Wiggins says :—

‘‘There are two storms at hand which, though not of the first order, are neverthe- less of such importance as to induce me to point them out for the safety of small shipping. The ‘first will arrive on the afternoon of Feb. 27th, and the second March 27th. This means the American coast, but they will he feit 36 hours earlier on the coast of Europe. Both will be accompanied by increased tides.

For the February storm the celestial phe- nomena are as follows: Sun’s declination south Sdeg 49min. Moon’s declination south 5 deg. 22 min., moving north, ‘ross- ing the celestial equator at ten o’clock in the moraing of the 27th. Perigee the 29th. Lemar conjunction 26 days 6 hours (London time. )

For the second the celestial phenomena are : Sun’s declination south 3 dey. 46 min. moving north Moon’s declination the same, causing a solar eclipse visible in Ger- mauy. The moon will be on the celestial equator at noon, Mareh 25th, and in con- jenction at 5 o'clock, a. m. the 27th, (Lon- don time). Perigee March 26th. Sun and moon in the same are of right ascension.

Properly interpreted, the above warn na of two storms on the days I have mentioned, viz., Feb. 27th, ané Mareh 27th, both dan- gerous to small shipping on the American coast. The latter will be somewhat more violent than the first for the sun will be wearer the equator and the moon will be in perigee.
