LONDON, Aug. 5. : A Paris despatch says: Venard De St. | Anne, the originatoy of the project for bridging the English Channel, proimises to commence operations without delay. He’! estimates that it will require seven months for experiments, and one miJlien frances will | pay preliminary expenses. To raise funds | he has laid the project before the French | and Belgian chambers of commerce, and | eighty-four of these have already expressed | themselves in favor of the project. He will visit England shortly, to lay the matter before the English Government. To span the deep water he will have to resort to the tubular system. The Standard says the Board of Directors of the Great “Western Railway of Canada have agreed to refer gonditions of amalge- mation with the Grand Trunk Railway to arbitration. Five chairmen of important railways are nominated as_ arbitrators. Fusion of capital of two companies is not contemplated. (NITED STATES. Mewpuis, Aug. 5. There were 18 cases reperted to the Board of Health to-day, 10 of whem were colored. ‘Two additional deaths have oc- curred. The fever is gradually spreading from the two infected points and greater mortality may be anticipated. At a meeting of the Committee of Safety this afternoon it was resolved that rations and medical attention be supplied to all camps and societies alike, provided all moneys or contributions received by said camps or societies be turned over to Safety Committee. The city remains remarkably dull. WasHineton, Aug. 6. ‘ Alfred D. Foster, one of the Secretaries of the Halifax Commission, will be associ- ated with Collector Babson, of Gloucester, on a mission-ef inquiring into the inshore fisheries of the Galf of St. Lawrence by our fishing fleet, and their tréatment by the local anthorities and population. Crry or Mexico, July 30, } via Hanana, Aug. 4. § Blengin, Chief of Pronuncia:os in Yucat- tan, has been captured and his followers dispersed, Carrion of Rubio, Chief of Prog nunciadus, in State of Mexico, has been brought prisoner to the capital. Every pronunciamento has been speedily sup- pressed, Diaz has given warnings to intend- ing revolationists that if they revolt they must expect halters about their necks. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 5. The Turkish Government seems disposed totplay the same game in Nova Bazaar as was formerly in Bosonia. An agitator from Nova Bazaar whom the Porte promised to banish to Asia has instead been lodged in a palace here and lauded in an official newspaper as a patriot. iti aie “*King of France.” A MANIFESTO FROM COMTE DE CHAMBORD. The Orleanists are determined not to al- low their ‘claims’ to the ‘throne’ of France to be forgotten. The Comte de Chambord has written to the Marquis of Foresta, to Marseilles, expressing thanks for the mani- festation in his favor on the occasion of the feast of St. Henry. Ina letter which is a kind of manifesto, de Chambord refutes the charge of ‘‘voluntarily declining to avail himself of his former remarkable oppor- tuniry of ascending the throne ;” he re- serves for the future the task of casting full light upon the events of 1873, and adds that with a return to the traditional mon- archy, harmonized with the aspirations of the majority of workman, artizan and laborer, he looked forward to the peaceable enjoyment of life and industry under the paternal authority of the head of a family whose gentle sway had been known to so many generations. The country ex- pected the King,but political intriguers had determined the country should have the Mayor of the Palace. ‘‘ If in presence of attentive Europe and on the morrow of in- describable disasters, I showed greater care for my royal dignity and the grandeur of my mission, it was in order that I might remain faithful to my oath never to become the King of a faction or a party. I will not submit to the guardianship of men of factions, but shall not cease to appeal to all honest men for support; with this force and with the grace of God, if I can save France, it is my duty and my desire to do 33 $0. oe Trade with Brazil. The Rio News, a paper published at Rio de Janeiro, published « letter received by the Brazilian Minister of Agriculture from W. Darley Bentley, of Loudon, urging the importance of direct trade between Brazil and Canada, te promote which the Canadian Government has guaranteed an annual subsidy of $50,000 to a line of steamers to convey the mails. It gives the statistics of the sugar trade, showing that the estab- lishment of refineries in Canada will create a larger demand fer raw sugars instead of NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. ¥ _ Correspondence. nar We do not hold ourselves responsible Jor the statements or opinions of our correspondents, Our Roads. To the Editor of the Examiner. Srr,—l observed an article in the last issue of the Patriot in which great fault is found with the present condition of the roads. But it appears that particular at- tention is given to that part between South- port and Pownal. Now, [ think that [am in quite as good | a position as any informant of the Patriot te | know the state of the roads in this vicinity, and have much pleasure in stating that the roads in this locality are remarkably good. They are, without doubt, much better than they have been for some years. 1am quite satisfied that there has been at least three times as much labor performed upon them as there was last year. The Patriot editor must have known, when he was penning that article, that he was writing what was not correct, as ‘‘ my son John” passed over that portion of the road less than one week before it was written. Ihave no interest in writing the above other than that the deserving may have justice, and do therefore subscribe niyself, _Farrpay, Pownal, Aug. 5, 1879. ——_-—_—_. eg eo —- - MISCELLANEOUS. sincaencnentn Reaper Florida ships 6000 head of cattle to Cuba monthly. Joun Grason’s hotel at Woodstock June- tion, N. B., was totally consumed by fire, on Monday last. Lady Glover, wife of the Lieutenant- Governor of Newfoundland, and her sister, have returned to St. John’s from England. A pitiable old tramp was entertained at Battle Creek, Mich., by a negro whom he had once owned in the South. Times had changed for both. A recently enacted law in Galveston provides that any employer who shall force an employee to laber on Sunday, shall be liable to a fine of fifty dollars. There were 494 candidatas for orders in England at the Trinity ordination—2J0 deacons and 264 priests. Of these 114, including 6 non-graduates, came from Oxford and 157, including 3 non-graduates, from Cambridge. A further advance in grain freights, which is certainly a most gratifying occur- rence, is reported by Messrs. Scammell Bros., of St John and New York, in their weekly review of the freight market which appears in another column. Deal freights from St. John to Liverpool have advanced to dds. ° Wm. P. Fetridge, who used to keep a periodical depot on Washington Street some years since, now lives in good style in Paris with liveried servants. He married in the family of the Harper ‘Brother, of New York. We remember when Mr. Fet- ridge was a poor boy, the son of a poor man in Fredericton. His name was then Mc- Fetridge.— W vodstock Sentinel. The Princess has been honored in having a brand of flour named after her. Says the . Galt Reporter :— The Guelph Mercury of a late date con- tains a very flattering notice of the ‘‘Prin- cess Louise” brand of flour, manufactured by our townsmen, Messrs. Gilchrist & Hume, which has lately been placed on that market. The “Mercury” anticipates a large sale for it in Guelph. Lord Lawrence was buried in the west- ern aisle of the north transept of West- minster Abbey, the spot having been select- ed by Dean Stanley. This part of the Abbey was already rich in monuments of Indian and Colonial worthies. Among these is Admiral Watson, a notable figure in the taking of Calcutta in 1757. Another one, interesting to Canada, is Brigadier-General Hope, some time Governor of Quebec, to one of whose gates he gave its name. General Sir Eyre Cooke is also buried there. He was Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in India in 1783. The first Earl of Halifax, who gave his name tu the commercial capital of Nova Scotia, lies in the part of the Abbey, as well as many others whe were of note and influence in their generation. The Rev. W. H. H. Murray, better known as ‘* Adirondack” Murray, has met with financial reverses which will grieve rather than surprise many of his friends. Inheriting a farm in Guilford, Conn., he devoted himself to improving it, raising also thereon many blooded trotting-horses. He was also interested in the “ Golden Rule” publishing enterprise, and, after patenting a buckboard wagon, engaged in manufacturing wagons—having formed a joint stock compary of Boston and New Haven capitalists for that pur- pose. Recently a note of the Bos- ton party was allowed to ge to protest, and this brought about attachments on the Guilford property, including about twenty horses and $40,000 worth of buckboard wagon stock, being all the. unincumbered property which could be found.
