So rv appears that the credit of Canada has not —as the Grits predicted—yet been wholly destroyed by the Liberal Conserva- tive Government and its National Policy. Telegraphic advices, from reliable sources, state that Mr. Tilley has raised £3,000,000 s‘g.in the London market on unprecedented- ly good terms. The bonds bear interest at 4 per cent ; and they were floated at 95 and upwards. The loan is raised to pay part of the debt _which now bears interest at 6 per cent.— to pay for the River DuLoup Railway — which is to be taken out of the hands of the Grand Trunk Company and made fit to travel npon—and to pay off the contractors for the Welland Canal. The services in which the loan will be em- ployed are all important. It is impertant that the rate of interest on the debt shall be as low as possible, and the difference be- tween 4 and 6 per cent. will be appreciated. It is important that the Intercolonial Rail- way trattic should not be hampered and en- dangered; the purchase of the River Du Loup branch was necessary to that end. Therefore the money will not be thrown away. There will be something substan- tive te show for it. -—_—- —— - The United States and the Fishery Award. —— Tar New York Herald reports that Secretary Evarts has begun a negotiation with the British Government, looking to the abrogation of the fishery clauses of the Treaty of Washington. In this he is obey- ing the instructions of the Senate, in a resolution adopted in secret session last December, and which is in these words :— “« Resolved, That inthe judgment of the Senate, steps ought to be taken to provide for as early a termination of tie fisheries and customs arrangements between the United States and Great Britain as possible, by ne- gotiations with that Government to that end.” The Hon. Alexander McKenzie and all the Grits have been asserting that Canada and not the United States—was the leser by the Treaty negotiated on our bohalf by Sir John McDonald. But this resolution tells quite another and a different story! We think, however, that our cousins are rather hasty. An award having been made by an International Commission which was advised by some of the most acute United States citizens of the age, the presumption is that the Republic has been treated fairly in this matter. We hope that in their cooler moments they will! see this to be so , for the privilege of a free market in the States for our fish—which we shall lose if the negotiations opened by Secretary Evarts are successful—is undoubtedly a great boon to us. The Prince Imperial.. Tur English papers are full of particulars respecting the late Prince Imperial. 1n another column will be found an extended account of his last struggle. The New York Herald of the 12th has a detailed account ef his removal from the ship to Chiselhurst on the ilth. Itsays: ‘‘Woolwich, though an old military town, accustomed to the im- pressive accessories of seldiers’ funerals, never witnessed such scenes as the eb- sequies of the hero of the Bonapartes.” On the 12th the body of the Prince was re- moved from Chiselhurst to the little chapel of St. Mary, where that of his father lies. There were present as pall- bearers the Prince of Wales, Duke of Edin- burgh, Duke of Connaught, and Crown Prince of Sweden. The following were also in attendance:-—-The Princess Beatrice, the Princess of Wales, Prince Christian and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and the Russian, German and Danish Ambassadors to England. A body of Paris workmen viewed the body pre- vious to the funeral. It is estimated that the various sympathizers brought bouquets and wreatlis sufficient to fill two vans to place on the grave. An immense wreath, bestowed by Queen Victoria, was carried on the coffin, which was invisible because vf the mass of flowers. A A Ai A IL Act Customs Receipt: Some of the Oppes:tion organs are exult- ing over the fact that the revenue returns for June exhibit a falling off of four hun- dred thousand dollars, as compared with the revenue of the same month last year. They admit, however, that, over the whole year as compared with last year, there is an increase of three hundred thousand dollars. But this, they say, is mainly due to the “‘ large importations made in consequence of the expectatien that a change would be made in the tariff.” Being se very astute, it is rather remarkable that they failed to see that the decrease in June was “ mainly due” to the unduly large importations previously made in expectation of a change in the tariff! 4g Yrr.reRDAY EVENING, after the reports of the delegates were received, and the routine business of the Convention had beer transacted, the members of the Cen- tra} Council invited the delegates toa grand dinner, which had been prepared in St. Dunstan’s Reading Reom, by Mr. William Kennedy. At 6.20 they assembled at the room, and there set down to a sumptuous repast. His Lordship Bishop McIntyre, presided. Among those present were the Rev. James McDonald, V. G.; Rev. Dr. O’Brien, Revd’s P. Deyle, of Summerside; Charles McDonald, of Georgetown; J. A. McDonald; Father McGilvery, of Antigon- ish, N. S.; Father Gillis, Father Bodreault, Tignish; Wm. Phelaa, of Montague; Staphen Phelan, Charlottetown; Hon. A. A. McDonald, Postmaster; John Gaffney, Esq.; Mr. M. Biake, President of St. Pat- rick’s T. A. Society; A. C. McDonald, M. P.; the editor of the §New ra; the editor of the K. C. Advertiser, and a representa- tive of the Examiner. After ample justice had been done to the geod things provided, short addresses were Titiversd by the Rev. P. Doyle; Hen. A. A. MecDenald ; Mr. Awos'Cash ; Mr. James Laverty ; Father McGilvery ; and Bishop McIntyre. His Lordship expressed his great gratification at seeing the temperance societies of this Pro- vines so well represented around the Board. He was glad to seo that such earnestness had been manifested in the movement which had been commenced only a few years ago. He felt sure that the work was now going on harmoniously and well. There was ne doubt as to its further success, and no bet- ter criterion of this could be had than the appearance of so many bright happy faces around that festive board. At 8 o'clock the Rey. gentlemen and delegates returned te St. Patrick’s Hall, where a large audience was waiting. The following interesting programme was then carried out :— Overture,.......

The correspondent of the London T'ele- graph at Utrecht sends under date of June 5 the story told by the survivors of the little guard which under Lieut. Carey accompanied rince Imperial en the fatal reconnoitring expedition on the 2nd of June. There were in the party the Prince, Lieut. Carey, six selected men from the Natal Horse and ene Kaffir. They left camp at 10 o’clock and at 7 Lieut. Carey with only four men returned. The Prince, three men five herses and four rifles were left behind. The survivors did not then know that the Prince had been killed, although they believed that he had been. Immediately after the return of the troop- ers Capt. Bettington, of the Natal Horse, examined the men who gave the following evidence :— The first witness, Sergeant Willis, said : **T belong to Bettinton’s corps and left the camp this morning with five others of our corps under Lieut. Carey, and ene Kaffir guide, as an escort for the Prince Imperial. We had with us two led horses. We went the same way as before when the Prince was fired upon, the Prince himself remark- ing upon this fact. We rode till three, when we descended a hill to a kraal abeut a hundred yards frem Imbanani River. The kraal contained four or five huts. There was clear ground in front, but high grass and standing crops all reund the other sides. We were ordered by the Prince to off-saddle, and, after knee-halter- ing, turned our horses inte the grass. We lay down outside the huts and took some cooked coffee, while the Kaffir looked after the watering of the horses. At 3.50 the Prince gave the time, saying, ‘ Let the horses have ten minutes more.’ The Kaffir drove up our horses, and at 4 we were ordered to saddle. The Kaffir said he had seen a Zulu across the river, going up the hill opposite. We saddled as quickly as we could. The Prince then gave the order to mount, and all of us did so except trooper Regers, who was trying to catch his led horse. A sudden volley was at that instant fired and we all made our way out at once, except Rogers, and I saw him lying against the hut. The Zulus continued firing after us, as we galloped, for two hun- dred yards, and yelling.” *‘How many Zulus do you think there were!” ‘‘From the shots, I should say fifty.” Corporal Grubb deposed—‘‘ The Kaftir came up saying semething which no one un- derstood till I interpreted that he had seen a Zulu atthe river on the other side. We lost no time in saddling, fetching our own horses. The Prince gave the order, ‘ Pre- pare to mount.’ I took the time frem him. He took hold of his horse and said ‘Mount.’ time to get our right feet into the stirrups a volley was fired from the mealies. We were all seated except Rogers, who was trying te catch his led herse. The volley was tired frem about twenty yards. The | Zalus shouted ‘Usuta’ and ‘ Here are the | English cowards.’ I turned round, saw the went 1 saw at a Zulu. lop.” - When we had got a few yards from the kraals a bullet streck Abel full in the back about an inch below his bandelier. He was half a length in front saying, ‘Put spurs to your horse, bey; the Prince is down.’ I looked back, and saw the Prince was clinging to the stirrup- leather and saddle underneath his horse for | « few lengths, and he then fell. His horse, | as far as [ could make out, trampled on him. TI unslung my carbine to have a shot at the Zulus, but the horse just then plunged into the donga, and I fell forward on his neck and lost my loaded carbine. When I recovered my seat I feund the Prince’s horse close me. 1 could not catch it, so IT get behind it and drove it along till I caught up to Lieut. Carey. He then said, ‘Some one must catch the Princes’ horse,’ and I replied, ‘As my horse is fagged I will catch it and ride it into camp. I dismounted and caught the horse and rode it into camp. I saw no more ef the Prince.” “What was the last order given?” ‘‘The Prince said ‘Mount.’ I heard no order after that, but at the sound of the volley I watched Lieut. Carey. We all ef us put apurs to our horses and galloped.” ‘‘How many Zulus were there?” ‘‘ should say forty or fifty.” ‘What were the Zulus firing with ?” “From the whizz of the bullet that struck Abel, I know they had Martlni-Henrys.” “Before you mounted how were you standing?’ ‘‘We were in line, the Prince being in front of us. Our backs were to the kraal.” a Trooper Cochrane, after some repetition of the preliminary evidence, stated : ‘‘The Prince gave the werd ‘Prepare to mount,’ and afterwards ‘Mount.’ I was next to him. We mounted but I did not see him do so. Hewas, I think, doing something to his bit. All ef a sudden a volley was fired at us, the Zulus gave a tremendous shout. The herses were frightened and we could hardly held them. When I got across the donga, or abont fifty yards from the Kraal. [saw the Prince en foot closely pursued by Zulus. His horse was then galloping off in another directien. I saw no more of the Prince. I followed Lieut. Carey. He gave no orders.” ‘** In what direction was the Prince run- ning?’ ** He was running after us.” ‘* How many Zulus were pursuing him?” **] think about a dozen.” ‘* How far off were they?’ ‘‘ About three yards from him. They all had guns and asse. 8.” ‘* Was any effort made to rally or halt, or any attempt made to save the Prince?” ‘* No; we had ouly three ritles with us.” ‘* How far did you gallop?” ‘‘ About two miles without stopping.” ‘‘Did any one ox abeut the Prince?” ‘*No; we were separated.” ‘Trooper Letocq gave evidence as follows: ‘* Just as we were springing to our saddles the volley was fired from the mealies, at fifteen or seventeen yards. I dropped my carbine and had to dismount for it. In remounting I was unable to get my feet into the stirrups, my horse was galloping so hard from fright. I lay across the saddle. I passed the Prince, but was unable to stop for him, having no wer over the reins. As I got clear away rom the kraal I passed the Prince. He then had hold of the stirrup-leather and the cantle of the saddle, and was trying to get his foot into the stirrup, but his horse was going too fast. 1 said to him, ‘ De- pechez vous, s'il vous plait, Monsieur, et montez votre cheval.’ He did not make a re- ply. He had not caught hold of the bridle; he could not keep up with the herse and I saw it tread on him and the Prince fell down. The Zulus were firing all the time but I could not see them. I saw no more of the Prince. I followed Lieut. Carey. He was leading at first, but some of us passed him. We gallop- ed two or three miles, the Zulus trying to sur- round us. I saw Grubbe and Willis could not catch up to us and asked Lieut. Carey to wait forthem. He said, ‘‘ We willcross the spruit and wait for them on the rise on the other side.” Grubbe and Willis were 300 yards be- hind us, for their horses were knocked up.” ** Were any orders given to stop or rally , or try to save the Prince?” ‘ No.” ‘* Did any of you mention the Prince, or did Lieut. Carey say anything about him?’ ‘‘No; all that I heard Lieut. Carey say all the time was, ‘ Let us make hasteand go quickly.’ ” a Tue United States authorities are vigor- ously fighting pleuro-pneumonia among cattle with a view to eradicating the disease and ob- taining access to the English markets. The Inspector General of New Jersey has estab- lished a complete register of all the cattle in the State, which is kept open for inspection by buyers, and is of advantage to dealers in proving their claims. The three heaviest cat- tle districts are at present quarantined. Dur- ing the past quarter two hundred and fifty cattle in the States were found suffering from pleuro pneumonia. The quarantine system has been so stringently applied that Govern- ment officials are contident the disease will be completely stamped out at an early day: This will be good news for our Canadian breeders; for, while some of them may be pecuniarly affected by American competition in the Eng- lish market, the general desire must be to secure, aS soon as possible, the impossibilit of the disease being introduced a. The present clean bill of health shown by our breeders is undoubtedly due to the vigorous and prompt action of the Department of Agri- culture. seteeapediee rg Rip lecteatae At a recent royal banquet at Copenhagen the guests were served with hock of the year 1494, kept in the royal cellars of the " ; ‘ 3!
