Garton, stockbrokers, of Manches- ter, have failed. Jt is believed their liabili- ties are considerable. A Glasgow special says some excitement yesterday, was caused by a panic in the iron trade and a partial panic on the stock ex- change. Besides tne failure of Wotherspoon, iron broker, a large firm of insurance brokers at Leith, with Glasgow connections, have placed their books in the hands of accountants. Their liabilities are heavy, Another Glasgow shipping firm is reported failed. Lonpbon, Oct. 16. A firm of local iron brokers failed yester- day. Liabilities £50,000. Two other failures, said to be heavy, have occurred, but are not yet officially annomced. The general feeling 1s more quiet, but private and joint stock banks still refuse accommodations and throw this class of business entirely upon the Bank of England, where as much as 8 per cent. was charged for loans yesterday. Should the Bank of France raise the rate of discount, as pres dicted, further advance in the Bank of Eng- land rate is deemed inevitable. Lonpon, Oct. 16. On stock exchange business is almost ata standstill. Four inconsiderable failures de- clared to-day. New York, Oct. 16. A special says there were three unimportant failures in railway market at stock exchange this morning. The Continental Bourses con tinue depressed. A committee of Shareholders of the Glasgow Bank held a meeting on Tuesday and de cidedto send a deputation to London to con- sult with shareholders there. There is some difficulty between sellers and purchasers of fore no estimates can be given of the liabili- ties of Findlay & Co. New Yorks, Oct. 16. A London special says two firms in Man- chester and one in London must suspend to- day. Vienna, Oct. 16. Gen. Rhine Lauder telegraphs that the dis- trict of Kraina has been subdued after various engagements, which cost the Austrians 5000 killed. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 16. Manujatar Pasha has confirmed -the an- nouncement that he and the Cretans have signed a convention to transfer the territory ceded to Servia by the treaty of Berlin. It is now complete. BELGRADE, Oct. 16. Differences have arisen between English and Russian delegates on the Servian Boundary Commission. Both asked their Government for instructions, Itis thought that the Alba nians intend to molest the Boundary Commis- sion and large Servian forces have been sent to protect them. Lonpbon, Oct. 16. The report that the Russians have resumed the withdrawal towards Adrianople is not con- firmed. BERLIN, Oct. 16, It is reported that Count Von Bismarck, nephew of the German Chancellor, committed suicide at Venice, yesterday, with a revolver. The act was caused by physical sufferiag. Lonpon, Oct 16. The Jndian Civil and Military Gazette states that the British made a raid upon a wavering border village and captured four chiefs, who will be held as hostages, A despatch from Kasaule states it is report- ed that the Viceroy will not be content with a simple apology but will require the Ameer to come to Keseawur. It is reported that com- missairat arrangements at Woolton are ata deadlock. ——- ———__+_-_—. =p o-— The Capital of Ulysses. Dr. Schliemann has bean engaged in’ ex- ploring the island of Ithaca, the land of the much-travelled Ulysses. In a letter he re- lates how, beginning at the northern end, he found the valley called Polis, which has gen- erally been regarded as the site of the capital of Ulysses, and which Mr. Gladstone, in his recently published ‘* Homer Primer,’ says, ‘‘agrees with all Homer’s indications of the capital,” and asserts that it cannot maintain its claim, its fancied Acropolis ‘‘never having been touched by the hands of man,” and the Greeks not having been wont to build their cities on fertile land, especially ‘“‘among these barren crags,’ where arable land was so pre cious. Proceeding southward, Dr. Schliemann eame to the isthmus which joins the northern and southern halves of the island, on which Mount Aetos is situated; and here, on its “artiticially but rudely levelled summit,” which rises 1,200 feet above the sea, found a triangular platform, with remnants of some cyclopean buildings, which, he has satisfied himself, formed the nucleus of the most an- cient capital of the old lords of Ithaca, and among them of Ulysses. At the southern end of the island the Doctor found the very pig- sties of Eumzus, the swineherd. Perhaps if he will find out the site of Paradise, he will discover the bower described by Milton, where Adam first told to Eve “the old, old story.” ean Trishmen. The Saturday Review, discussing Lord Duf- ferin’s claims respecting illustricus Irishmen, contends that his claims are true only as re- gards the mixed race. ‘‘The mixed race de- scended from the Norman or English settler, with a strong Celtic cross, may literally, as Lord Dufferin asserts, be said to have shown infinite possibilities of ruling. Even if we de- mur to so strong an expression as that ‘the world is best administered by Irishmen,’ we must allow that sach men as the Wellesleys, the Temples, the Burkes, the Cannings, or the Lawrences, to say notling of lawyers like Lord Plunket, Lord Cairns, or the many em- inent Irish Judges here and at home, were | well fitted to govern them feHowmen.” Glasgow Bank stock as to settlement; there ° Miscellaneous News. The Protestants of America and Great Britain contribute $6,000,000 annually to for- eign missions. A Louisville woman’s husband has been sued by a druggist for the price of morphine far- uished her. He testified that at one time he sold her 480 yrains, ‘* enough to kill two hun- dred men.” The most absent minded man was not the man who hunted for his pipe when he had it between his teeth, nor the one who threw his hat out of the window and tried to hang his cigar on a peg; no, but the man who put his umbrella to bed and went and stood behind the door. The ‘* Bywell Castle,” which sunk the ‘* Princess Alice,” was short of her crew by seven men when she sailed. Their places were filled hy seven men picked up on the docks for the trip. One of these was steering and one was on the look-out at the time of the collision, and the ‘‘ Princess Alice’? was also steered by a substitute. A Philadelphia cattle dealer, who has been shipping a ian number of live cattle to Europe, has investigated the causes of the large proportion of deaths which occur in every cargo, and claims that the cattle die be- cause they are watered with salt water which has been purified by steam, and which is given to the cattle before it has time to cool suffi- ciently. The New York Sun, having printed the an- nouncement of the marriage of a young white woman of Ithaca toa negro, ‘‘one of them” writes to the Sun to say that ‘‘there are in the cities of New York and Brooklyn at least 1,500 young white women who have done the same thing, and the number is constantly increasing. Nearly all of the half-breeds born in New York have negro fathers and white mothers.’ No, don’t learn a trade, young man. Yov might soil your hands, wilt your shirt collar, and spoil your complexion sweating. * Go han your chin over a counter; learn to talk twaddle to the ladies; part your hair in the middle; make an ass of yourself generally—just be- cause its a little more genteel in the eyes of the people, whose pride prevents them from pounding rock or hewing wood, and whose poverty pinches worse than one of those patent cross legged clothes pins, if the truth were only told. There are no end of people who get into the hands of the police for getting too much to drink, but it is very seldom a n meets the same for eating to excess, case of the latter kind occurred at Toronto on Monday. A policeman picked up a woman on Duchess Street, named Mary Dillon, She was in an insensible condition. When conveyed to the police station, and on Dr. Riddell being called in, remedies were appliea, and it was diseov- ered she had been gorging herself on bacon and cabbage. The two combined came very nearly causing her death? The island of Santa Cruz, or Sainte Croix, the scere of the negro insurrection of which our telegrams have informed us, is one of a group belonging to Denmark, which includes also St. Thomas and St. John. The former of these two is the best known of the group, from its capital being a free , and one of the chief stations of the British India mail steam- ers. The capital of the whole community is Christianstadt, which has a population of about 10,000. The population of the island of Santa Cruz is stated in the despatches to be 3,000 whites and 22,600 negroes. The danger to which the ee. were conwtanely. ex- posed may, therefore, be imagined. Thegroup, which tive just to the east of Porto Rico, is also noted for its exposure to other perils oceanic and subterraneous, The re- cent troubles arose out of a new labor act, which justly insisted on the colored people supporting themselves. The great diffi- culty in dealing with the freedmen of the West Indies, ever since their emancipation, is their mnate and inveterate indolence when left to themselves. The experience there, as elsewhere, tends to show that they require the guiding hand and strict authority of a race superior to themselves. Whether in a state of complete independence it is possible to work out their improvement is still a prob- lem. Captain Judkins, formerly Commodore of the Cunard steamship fleet, died recently at Liverpool. His character and career were, in several respects, remarkable. Born in Londcn in 1808, and early apprenticed to ‘‘a life on the ocean wave,” he entered the employ of Messrs. Cunard & Burns, of Glasgow, in 1843. He soon rose to a responsible position, and was, in succession, captain of all the vessels of the Cunard line. His life, if it were well and fully written, would make a most interesting biography and furnish information of value as to the progress of Atlantic seafaring during the past forty years. Several of his voyages were attended with no small danger, from various causes, but he never lost his self-com- mand, which, at critical moments, often saved himself and others from the embarrassments of 2 panic and its terrible consequences. He saved the ‘‘ Persia” and rescued her pass- engers from death, when she was struck by an iceberg; and many anecdotes are told in illustration of his coolness and courages He prided himself on his fast time. He was a living repertory of news from either side of the ocean, with which he satisfied anxious or curious questioners on arriving from hs voyage. By his employers, it is needless te say that he was highly valued, and by those of his own craft he was looked up to as a moi alseaman. Though somewhat of a martinet on boardship and enforcing order and even etiquette on sailors and passengers, he was a favorite with both, as they well knew none was better fitted to look after their interests, His last trip was on the “Scotia,” which sailed from New York on the 9th of Novem- ber, 1870, and he retiged from active service in January of the following year. A valuable set of gold plate was presented to him by tke Company in recognition of his services. He is said to have accumulated a considerable for- tune, to whom the son of his only daughter, Mrs. Anderson, who lived with him after his } mother’s death, will probably fall heir.
