Tar warehouse of Thomas Morris, Esq., on Water street, was entered by a front window at three o'clock this merning, and twe cases of whiskey were stolen. Mr. Leigh, who lives opposite the warehouse, heard the noise caused by breaking the window, and from his own bedroom window enquired—‘* What they were domg there?’ They (two men wearing long overcoats) left. Shortly after they re- turned and succeeded in the burglary. It is evident that the burglars were members of the corner loating fraternity. To-day the corners are bare, and it is supposed that the fraternity are in some outlaying woods feast- ing on the ardent.

Troubled Ireland.

The latest news from Ireiand is:—

That the steward of Col. Joshua Henry Cooper, of Dunboden Park, near Mullin- gar, county Westmeath, was shot and wounded in two places by an unknown

uth. Colonel Cooper’s estate consists of 1,785 acres, and is valued at £1,563.

That Mr. Boycott is about fifty years old, of short stature, and wears a shaggy grey beard. There is a hunted look in his eyes that coumands the sympathy of every one except the country people, who appear to hate him bitterly, and will kill him just as sure as he gives them the opportunity.

That adespatch from Ballinrobe (Nov. 12) states that the expedition for the relief of Mr. Boycott slept in barracks last night. At eleven o'clock this morning they started for Lough Mask House under the same escort as last night. It was again raining hard, and again they had to march, as no ears could be hired. There was very little exciteuent in the town this morning. The seige is expected to last eight days.

That the expedition arrived at Mr. Boy- eott’s place at quarter past three o'clock on the afternoon of the 12th Nov. There was no demonstration of any kind.

That on the evening of the ilth, Mr. Boycott received the following letter, which was handed him bythe tenants of Lord Erne

KILLMORE, Nov. 10, 1350. C. C. Borcort, Esq. :—

Str,— In accordance with the decision made in Lord Erne’s last letter to us we want you to appoint a day to receive the rents from the tenants. A reply requested.

That Mr. Beycott’s reply was that he would be ready to receive the rents at ten o'clock the following morning, an hour after which time he received the follewing notice :—

The tenants request an answer to the fol- lowing before they pay you the rent:—First— Don’t you wish you may getit? Secend— When do you expect the Urangemenr, and how are they to come? Third—When are you going to hook it. Let us know, sothat we may sce you off. fourth—Are, you any way comfortable? Don’t be uneasy in yeur mind. Well, take care of yourself. Down with the landlerds and agents! (God save Ireland !

That ‘‘such communications as this are agreexble and amusing enough when ad- dressed to a distant friend, but are hardly so diverting when directed to one’s self. It is also disquieting to hear people say as ene passes, ‘He will not hear the birds sing in spring.’ ”

That the correspondent of the T'imes at Rome says :—‘‘ It,is well known in Vatican circles that the Pope is much embarassed about Irish affairs. He fully understands that its not a question between Protestants and Catholics, but between the friends of order and the anarchists. He openly dis- approves the agrarian movement, and sin- eere!y desires te assist the English govern- ment if possible. He is well aware that he is ouly hearing one side of the case ; and he feels that, were he to break silence, he might, in seeking to do good, produce a contrary result through his imperfect know- ledge of the affairs.”

and economist, Dr. Lorenz yon Stein, has published an interesting article in the Al-

igemeine Zeitung on the irish question from | a outing ntal Standpoint, Professor von | Ste »n, Who at the outset meéntions the ten dency oO the German mind to have a| clearer perce ptlou of e past than of the present, attributes the difiiculties prevail- ny Lu lreland, to the Naghsh VDarliament never having seriously occupied itself with th ; vation of the py asaltrs , as all] vovV-

have done on the Continent, where the work began under the absolute monarchies. He recommends England, from which the Continent has learned so much, in this instance to take a lesson from the Continent and give the peasantry of England and Ireland the benefit of popular protective legislation, which has made the Continental peasantry the strongest. safe- guard of the State.

hat a meeting was held at Kockanrose village on the loth, fur the purpose of for- mally ‘*Boycotting” thirteen landlords, land agents and others residing there- Five thousand persons were pre- sent. James Malloy, tenant farmer, was President. The following resolution was adopted: ‘*That we pledge ourselves to ‘ Boyeott’ these thirteen men, and aj] who act like them, and will endeavor to follow the example set to Ireland by the brave men of Ballinrobe.”

That the general opinion is that it will be necessary for Boycott to leave the coun- try, as he will always have to be pretected if he rémains in Ireland. It is reported that great preparations are to be made for the departure of the Orangemen from Lough Mask when their task is completed.

~~ °° _2- oe + oe The Colliery Disaster. PRECAUTIONS TAKEN —THE FIRE NEARING THE SHAFTS—WHAT THE DAMAGE WILL BE-— BRAVERY OF A FEW MEN.

(By Telegraph to the St. John Telegraph.)

Srettarton, Nov. 15.

About ten o'clock last night the men succeeded in getting acovering over the foord shaft. This stopped the current of air somewhat, and prevented any smoke from coming out of that pit. Then the smoke decreased slightly in volume from the fan shaft. At four this morning smoke suddenly ceased, and none was seen to issue from the fan shaft until after eight o'clock, when two volumes ascended almost simultaneously from beth the feord and fan pits. The smoke was of much lighter color, which shows that the fire is nearing the shafts. Gangs of men were to work

throw large bodies of water into the pit from the Pictou and New Glasgow steam fire engines stationed at reservoirs of water or at the river. The effect of this was soon seen, the volumes of smoke giving place to bodies of confined smoke and steam, with a preponderance of the latter. Another gang of men were set to work digging a trench, soas toturn the water into the foord pit, and considerable progress was made.

At 9.30 o’clock your correspondent ac- companied managers Robert Simpson and John Greener to an examination of the openings at the Cage, Old Foster and Dal- housie pits. At numerous openings, they found a tremendous rush of air which was drawn along these old underground unused workings to feed the fires in the Foord pit, a mile or so distaut. A gang of men were instantly set to work to fill up the holes and crevices and thus shut off the air and so help to smother the fire. There is no material change at this hour (2 0’clock), nor is there any probability of a change except for the worse during the day.

What will the damage be? I asked Mr. Simpson, manager of the Drummond. I don’t care to even estimate the damage, he replied.

As great as at the Drummond disaster in 18737? Far greater in loss of property and its ultimate effect to the Company.

What is your opinion of the cause of the disaster? Ican’t give you an opinion ; it would be wrong to do so. No man can tell. All the facts that are known will be brought out at the inquest, but the chief witnesses will not give their evidence in this world.

What will it cost to re-open the mines ? How long will, it take? and do you think the owners will incur the expense at the presnt time ! ’

The cost will be more than I would ven- ture te say. The time may be six months or more. Whether it will be done er not depends largely on the immediate future prospects of the coal trade.

Will there not be considerable danger in re-opening that pit? Yes. 1 had some experience in re-opening the Drummond mines after the great calamity there. I would not like to repeat that job. I weuld not do it for a salary of $25,000 a year.

What do you think of the outlook at the pitnow! It is not at all encouraging. Let us hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

The weather is extremely raw and cold. One of the mest touching scenes I have yet seen is the removal of whole families— father, mother, and eight or ten young children —from their houses in the vicinity of the pits out to the open woods. To see them there, with their thin clothing, shiv- ering in the biting cold, would melt a heart of stone. Of course all work at the Albion mines is suspended, and the men not engaged in the relief party are lounging around the streets. But, besides those, there are hundreds of men from the other mines also loafing, and as they were all paid on Saturday, the rum shops are in full blast, and the amount of, drunkenness is most disgracefui; in the terribly sad circumstances it is revolting. There is considerable surprise at the scar- city of volunteers.

Allthe brave work since the calamity has been performed by afew men. The great body of the men, including many bosses of whom better things were expected, are conspievous by their absence from

places of danger or work.
