Tux steamer Curroll cleared for Boston yer- terday, with a cargo valued at $4000, con- sisting of 5,400 bushels of potatoes, 300 cases of eggs, 2t bbls. of herring, 1500 iis, old metai, and 2,500 Ibs. pork. Cricker.—We are glad to learn that the noble old English game of cricket (without the whiskey) is likely to be entered into vith more than ordinary zeal this season. All well-wishers of the Club will help its working by sending their subscriptions to the Secretary. Tae schooner Jessiv, owned and freighted by Hon. J. Wightman, was wrecked on the coast of Nova Scotia while on a voyage from xeorgetown to Halifax, on or about the 24th ult., with a cargo of produce. We learn that the vessel and cargo are a total loss, and that Mr. Wightman has no insurance on either. Prince Louis, of Battenberg, is the success- ful candidate for the throne of Bulgaria. He is acousin of her Majesty Queen Victoria, which connection procured him a position in the British Navy. He served on the North American Station in the ‘‘ Royal Alfred” as Lieutenant six years ago. We would-call the attention of our readers to the sale at auction by Mr. William Dodd, ot all the household furniture ef William Mc- Kechnie, to be sold to-morrow Saturday, 3rd inst., at 11 o'clock, at his residence, Upper Prince Street, opposite Judge Hensley’s. This lot of Furniture is principally of walnut, and is nearly new. Look out for bargains. Lapres Umpretias.—W. A. Weeks & Co will show, on Friday, ial bargains in LADiES’ SILK UMBRELLAS. One lot of about 12 doz., worth $2.25. will be THrown away at $1.35 each. Ladies should see them. They are Finest Twill Sik on patent frames, and the extraordinarly low price should sell them all in a day or two. Tur merchants of Prince William street, St. John, have determined to make their street the street of that city, and decided to employ a private scavenger, whose duty it shall be to keep the street in a thorougly clean and neat condition. The object is to make the street attractive to the ladies and the ‘‘mart’ of fashionable shopping. Tue annual meeting of the ratepayers of the town of Pictou was held on Monday. The most important matter brought forward was the recommendation of the Council that the sum of $10,000 be raised by the sale of de- bentures, for the purpose of erecting a new building for the Picton Academy. After a brief discussion the-vote was taken, when 91] voted yea and 17 nay. We greatiy regret the failure of J. W. Hughes, Esq., the County Line Station mer- chant. Mr. Hughes battled along bravely during the five years of bankruptcy through which we have ed; and it seems hard that he should have been forced into insol- veucy just as better times are about to dawn. Mr. Hayhes’ liabilities are under $8000; and we learn that in taking advantage of the In- solvent Act, he has preserved his high char- acter for honorable dealing. He did the best he could under the unfortunate circum- stances by which he was surrounded, and in whieh he became involved. A very good attendance and a fair supply of saleables at the market to-day. In one of the stalls in the meat market was displayed a nice carcass of lamb; and, in the upper market, a small quantity of lettuce was on The market prices were as follow : Beef, small, from 6 to 12 cents ; do. per qr., from 4 to {8 cents; pork, per carcass, from 5} to 6 cents; mutton from 6 to 12 cents; butter, fresh, from 20 to 25 cents ; do. per tub, from 15 to 18 cents; eggs from 9 to 11 cents ; potetass from 45 to 60 cents; lamb, per qr., rom 70 cents to $1; oats, from 30 to 32 cents; lover seed, from 23 to 28 cents ; timothy seed, from $3 to $3.50. Tue annual meeting of the Phoenix Cricket Clab was held atthe Citizen’s Skating Rink last evening, and was very largely attended. The Secretary real the minutes of last meet- ing and also his report, which were both unanimously adopted; he also read a letter from Captain Cummings, of the Garrison Club, expressing their appreciation of the hospita- lity received from the Charlottetown Eleven during their visit to this city last season. The thanks of the Club were tendered the late Secretary—F. Mitchell, Ksq.—for the very efficient manner in which he had conducted the business of the past year, to which he re- plied in suitable terms.

On the item of Dominion steamers, Sir Albert | Smith expressed the hope that provision would | be made, in the supplementary estimates, for | the Cape Tormentine Kailway; and asked what | was to be done with the Northern Light. The Minister of Marine said he hoped to see railway connection with the Cape, and a suit- able steamer in connection with Ice Boats, carrying mails and passengers. It had not been decided what was to be done | with the Northern Light. She was unfit for the service, and it would be profitable to give her away and save expenses of conditional re: pairs. Sir Albert said the Northern Light was built | in accordance with the agreement entered into | at the Unien to maintain steam communica- | tion. She was said by witnesses to have been: wonderfully well built; and it had been eo that steam communication ceuld not xe kept upall winter. The railway to the Cape was necessary, and he hoped to see it built. : Mr. Hackett said he trusted the Govern- ment would place $500,000 or $600,000 in the estimates for the Cape Railway and Strait navigation. Lonvoy, April 1. The Daily Telegraph says that further ob- stacles to the proseeution of the Pouyer- Quertier Trans-Atlantic Cable scheme have arisen in the shape of a protest by William Cornell Jerrett, who claims to have been the real originator of the project. He declares that any organization such as these will be in- operative without his consent. The right they claim to lay cables by the route named from England and France is wholly worthless; that whatever concession they may hold from the French Government cannot enable them to lay a cable to the United States, as the Gov- ernment of the latter have determined that no cable from France can be landed under a sec- ond concession from foreigners, and that his purpose will be to establish his right. a + erm ce HOTEL ARRIVALS.
