R. Lithgow’s letter—in our editorial columns. It is a regular ‘‘eye opener.” Tue barkentine Henry Buchanan, Raynes, Master, arrived from Pensacola with a car- vo of pitch pine to Jas. Duncan & Co. Tue steamer Miramichi arrived from Montreal to-day. She will touch at Char- lottetown again (on her way to Montreal) on Tuesday next. CompLaint.—The pump at the southwest corner of Hillsborough Park has been out of order for the past two weeks. Surely it should now be cleaned ont and put in order. Ture Haydn Quintette Club of Halifax promise a grand musical and literary enter- tainment in Market Hall on the 15th inst. Good judges say the ‘‘Quintette” is the best musical club in the Maritime Provinces. Aquatic.—A crew of oarsmen at De- Sable are constructing a four-oared gig 35 feet long for the coming regatta. Another four-oared boat has been imported from Halifax by a crew which has recently been formed in this city. , THe barque ‘* Ocean Express’ sailed from Halifax for London on the 8th inst., with a cargo of 19,373 cases of lobsters— the largest shipment of canned goods ever made from that city. His Lorpsute Bishop Melntyre and the Rev. James McDonald, V. G., left for Halifax this morning with the object, we understand, of assisting at a grand Ponti- fieal High Mass, which will be celebrated in that city for the late Bishop Conroy. Late Paris despatches announce that a marriage has been arranged between Prince Louis Napoleon and Princess Thyra, third danghter of the King of Denmark. Princess Thyra is a sister of the Princess of Wales. MAcKerEL fishing has been prosecuted on a small scale at the Three Tides during the past week. Some of the ‘‘fishermen” have been rewarded with good catches. We are informed that mackerel have never before been so plentiful in this harbor as at pres- ent. Tue steamer ‘‘Miramichi” arrived from Quebee at noon to-day with a cargo of mer- chandize. She had on board on her de- parturve from Quebee one hundred and ten passengers, the majority of whom were ticketed for Pictou. ‘I'welve of the number landed at this port. Quick Work.—The schr. P. L.

Paria Ecripse or ta& Moon.—On next Monday afternoon there will be a partial eclipse of the moon which will be visible in P. E. Island. The moon will enter the penumbra, on the 12th at 4h. 58m, 16s. p. m. and will enter the umbra at Gh. 18m. 22s. p.m. The central eclipse will be at 7h. 43m. 55s. p.m. The moon will emerge from the wnbra at %h. 9m. 54s. p. m., and from the penumbra at 10h. 29m. 40s. p. m. Assuming the moon’s diameter as 1, the magnitude of the eclipse is 0.590, The moon will enter the umbra at 109° from the extreme northern line eastward and emerge from the umbra at 157° westward. Tue Moonlight Excursion, under the aus- pices of ‘* Victoria Debating Society,” has been again postponed, on account of the weather. If Monday night is fine, the ex- cursion will take place. It was announced on the boat that the excursion would be postponed to Wednesday night ; but it will be impossible to get the boat on that night. Ticket holders will please take notice. We may say, in this connection, that the So- ciety look forward to lively meetings in the autumn and winter months; and, as their is considerable debating talent connected with it, their is no doubt of its success. *“ELogveNnce AND Orators.”—Reyv. D. D. Currie lectured on the above theme, last evening, in Ring’s Hall. The andience was large, as should be the case when this gen- tleman takes the platform. Rey, B. Chap- pell, Pastor of the Germain Street Metho- dist Church, under whose auspices the lee- ture was given, filled the chair. The sub- ject was treated for an hour and a half in a masterly manner that occasioned frequent outbursts of applause. It abounded in reminiscences and anecdotes that were aptly introduced and were told with happy effect. The proceeds of the lecture are for the building fund of the new church, and a handsome suin will be the result.-——St. John Telegraph. -_ eiotietienad a2 lg sa a - tiems, | ' caeatemeaiimenealilil enepactemanedpesivedibnnsasmaaitad TELEGRAPH, ~~ ~~ NEWS Lonpon, Aug, 8. fever is increasing alarmingly.

He will not allow insurgents to enter the town, fearing the massacre of the Turkish authorities. Fifteen thousand Bosnian regular troops deserted from Trebinje and joined the in- surgents at Durbrows. Vienna, Aug. 9. A despatch to the ines says the Turkish Government declares emphatically that it has ordered its representatives not to oppose Austria’s delay of their orders until the in- surrection has established itself in the heart of the Bocina Islands somewhat from their value. A Vienna despatch to the Revwtor says that, in view of the insurrection movement in Bosnia and Herzegovania, which the Porte is here strongly suspected of ferment- ing, and in consequence of the agitation in Servia and Montenegro, the Austrian Goy- ernment, notwithstanding the strong corps of oceupation sent to Bosnia and Herzego- vania, intends egecting further mobilization of its forces, in order to have in reserve an additional army corps ready for active ser- vice. Great annoyance is felt in official quar- ters here at the unfortunate Maglaj affair —the Anstrian loss—which is considered due to manifest carelessness. Beruwn, Ang. 8.

Lonpon, Aug. 8. A special despatch from Vienna to the Daily Telegraph says that information that the Porte has issued instructions to ofticials throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina for- bidding opposition to the Austrian occupa- tion is derived from unexceptional Austrian sources, and sets at naught the idle rumors concerning the Porte and alleged connivance with the insurgents. Some resistance, nevertheless, is expected at certain points, and may cost some Austrian lives, as would have been the case, even if the Austro- Turkish convention had been consolidated before the frontier was crossed. ‘The res- pectable portion of the inhabitants every- where have welcomed the Austrians.

NOTICE TC THE PUBLIC! fay GENERAL MINING ASSOCTA- TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs. a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers. The opening of the new winning at ‘* THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale. It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have heen regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price. The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘* EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sraNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL. lt has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. ‘The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way. Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of her cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.
