Blaine must remember that the freedom of passage between the oceans can in no poaihle event become exclusively an American right.The whole world has an interest in the maintenance of the free nse of great highways.Vikxisa, Dec.17\u2014The official report of the Board of Works says the Chief Engineer \u2022gked two policemen at the main entrance of the Ring Theatre whether there was any body within, and received a reply that thfe whole audience had left, itf safety.This statement was apparently confirmed by the fact that no persons were seen at the entrance of the building.The men of the fire brigade suW-quently made their way to the galleries, but the air was snffocating.It was impossible to penetrate the passages as the lights went out lor want of oxygen and the firemen were unable to breathe.The report expresses the courtetioo that the audience died speedily from suffocation.Madrid, Dec.17\u2014A Customs officer near Santander reports that he saw last night a balloon proceeding in the direction of B'lboa.Lxkds Dec.17.\u2014The Fowler steam plow works, at Hun*let, were damaged by fire to the extent of £W),000 ; 300 men arc out of employment.I\u2019akim, Dec.17.\u2014Lieut.Lullier, an amnestied Communist, waylaid Sibour, nephew of the murdered Archbishop of Taris, and \u2022track him.Lallicr threatened to murder Biboar if be refused to fight with him.Algikk*, Dec.17.\u2014The clams near Algiers, on the Oran Railway, have buret, the line is flooded and many lives have been lost.Several vessels have foundered at Zanzibar.The owner of the slave dhow, in the en-ooonter with which Captain Browmigg was killed, has been captured.St.Pstkrsbcrg, Dec.17.\u2014An Amenean Jew, performing in a circns, has been ordered %o quit the capital simply on account of hu professing the Hebrew faith.He protested.LATEST FROM EUROPE.Heavy Storm in England, PRESS COMMENTS OF SECY.BLAINE'S PANAMA LETTER.with desperate characters, who révérai times took possession of the camp, shot men down in the streets and closed the stores, blocking business for hours ANOTHER PLOT TO BLOW IP THE CZAR'S PALACE.Two Hundred Arrests in St.Petersburg.T H E DIS ASTER IN ALGERIA.Signifieant Vote In the Reichstag.German OUTLAW RULE IN THE WESTERN STATES, ETC., ETC.GREAT BRITAIN.London, Dec.18.\u2014The point generally remarked upon in Blaine\u2019s despatch to Lowell touching the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is his assumption that the moment war should break out Great Britsin would disregard her treaty obligations with respect to the neutrality of the Canal.It is asked, in view of this distrust, why Great Britain should be asked to repose implicit faith in America s pledge not to impose discriminating duties on goods in transit.The Timr*, after advancing this objection, says :\u2014\u201cBlaine s case, however, is stronger in some ways than ho ventures to make it, as the time must arrive when weak Central American countries will be absorbed by the United States and the coast line will extend to the lull limits that Blaine fancifully indicates.'' The Englishman shot dead by a sentry guarding the prison at Malaga was Thomas Mitchcli, a young engineer on the Anchor Line steamer \u201cTyrian.\u2019 The Observer says Blaine\u2019s argument for the modification of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty amounts to a simple declaration that the Union intends to assert its supremacy upon the continent of America, regardless of treaty rights or the claims of rival powers.There were severe gales and heavy rains throughout England on Saturday and Sup day.Many houses were unroofed a demolished.The rivers overflowed were prostrated.GERMANY.Berlin, Dec.18.\u2014The Reichstag yester-day, despite the urgent appeals of Count Von Moltke and General Von Kameke.Minister of War, refused to vote a sum for the -establishment of a training institute for

Executive Committee appointed by the Irish American Convention at Chicago is in private session here to-day.\t, The Execritive Committee appomted by the Irish-Aincrican Convention at Chicago adopted resolutions setting forth that the committee was empowered by the convention to take all necessary steps for sustaining the people of Ireland in their present struggle and to form a central organization to give concerted assistance to them while the struggle continues ; also empowering the chairman of the committee to communicate with officers of organizations represented at the convention and ascertain their views as to the forming of a complete federation of those organizations.An appeal to the friends of Ireland in America was also adopted and copies ordered to be distributed, calling for subscriptions to be sent to the suffering people of Ireland.The committee then adjourned.J>tjblix, December 17.\u2014Yesterday a man near Knock and another at l\u2019allas

E.Gore, who is now serving a term in the House of Comethm.for forging the name of Paymaster ¥.H.Arms, of the Charlestown navy yard, to an order on Maguire A Sullivan for a fid blouse, although but 24 years old, has had an extensive criminal career.In 18er had to come from 600 miles away.\u201d Tho Indians were next induced to give up their war-paint and feathers,^and to assume the garb of civilized men and women.After thoso re-, forms had been effected Mr.Cbosby started the building of his church, and showing a plan of the structure to his sa/ago friends, he appealed to them for aid.They met this appeal characteristically.As he says, \u201cthey rushed out of the house and returned laden with buffalo skins, rifles, blankets, and even their oar-rings, to the value of 8400.\u201d They also came to work on building it, and Mr.Crosby rewarded their services by presents of blankets.Some of the poorest among them gave freely to the church objects from their scanty store.Tho report of Mr.Crosby\u2019s address, which we*find in the Globe, concludes as follows :\u2014 \u201cThe converted Indians who Tp&ddled the canoe for him used to sing Moody and San-key\u2019s hymns, which attracted those yet unconverted.A great revival had taken place at Fort Simpson.Under the teaching of the misaionary hundreds of people were converted.The people of their own accord went in large canoes to declare the Gospel to their heathen countrymen.When converted these Indiana became industrious, and improve vastly in their appearance and mode of living.The resalt of the missionary\u2019s efforts greatly astonished the American commandant at Alaska.At length Mr.Crosby succeeded in getting a regular missionary sent to Alaska.There were now four large missions in Alaskh.Two hundred miles south of Fort Simpson heathenism was universal, but in the same way the converted Indians introduced the Gospel.The speaker told a number of anecdotes showing the value set upon religion by those of the Indiaus who were brought to conversion, and the sacrifices andTprivations they faced in order to promote Christian work.Yet although so urgently needed, the mission societies could not afford to send them the help they asked.He made an earnest appeal to those present for assistance in this work.\u201cThis address was followed by the appearance of the Rev.Mr.Crosby on ti^platform in the costume of a Flathead InoKn chief.The metamorphosis ivas very striking.On the head ho wore a red cap with pendants of white fur.In war time this is surmounted by long white feathers.The shawl or blanket was a handsome cloak-like garment with a broad edge of white and blue made of the wool of the mountain goats by the Indian women.In his hand he held a rattle used by the medicine men.\u201cMr.Crosby , spoke of the Girls\u2019Home among the Indians of his mission.This work was forced on them by the number of poor Indian girls who came to him for shelter.In maintaining this his wife had received generous help from the congregation of the Me-tnodiat Metropolitan Church, Toronto.A matron was much needed, as the work was beyond the strength of his wife.He believed more good was being done by this Girls\u2019 Home than by any other part of their work.He told of numerous instances in which these unhappy Indian girls had been saved from a life ot shame, great numbers of whom have thus been reformed and saved.\u201d THE ABSURDITY OF IT.The Toronto Telegram puts it this way:\u2014 \u201cIf the Liberal party in Quebec is one-half as bad as the chief Tory organ makes it out to be, it must be very bad indeed.We are assured that the Liberal party in Quebec is a \u2018small faction of annexationists, soreheads, infidels, and political and social outlaws.\u2019 On tho other hand, the Grit organs assure us that the Tory party in Quebec is composed of jobbers and corruptionists, who have their arms into the public treasury elbow deep.Taking these two estimates at their face value, they must bo a very fine lot of people in the sister Province.It is cheering to see party politics elevated to a high moral standard and discussed in a dignified way by the rival organs.All that is necessary now in order to round off the picture is to prove that in Quebec the Judges are horae-thioves and that the clergy go fishing on Sunday.\u201d 2TOT2S A2TD XTEWS The Date of the Session.The Courrier says it is in a position to believe that the Quebec Legislature will meet on the 26th January.Germany and Canada.The Horticultural Society of Montreal has been advised by Dr.Otto Hahn, Dominion Immigration Agent in Germany, that the samples of Canadian apples recently sent to that country have been examined by experts, who pronounce them to be of the first quality.Mr.William J.Florence.In answer to an enouiry respecting this world-renowned actor which appeared m the columns of the Coroxiclk a day or two ago, a prominent citizen of Quebec who is a warm Sersonal friend of Florence, informs us that uring a somewhat recent conversation with him, the actor enquired of him if he remembered bis appearance upon the stage of the old Quebec theatre in Pres de Ville some thirty years ago.Daring Case of Shop-Lifting.On Saturday night, throe men supposed to be from Montreal, approached the door of Mr.Guay\u2019s dry goods store on Notre Dame street, two of them remaining at the entrance while the third went m and enquired for alma.He engaged the attention of the clerks in the store for some minutes, and immediately after his departure it was found that his two companions had made off, and that a large roll of coarse grey flannel valued at $20, and containing some 50 yards had disappeared from the door.The detectives have been notified ÿnd are looking up the thieves.Their names are unknown.Return of the Premier.Hon.J.A.Ch&pleau, accompanied by Hon.L.O.Loranger, Attorney-General, arrived in town last night by Q.M.O.and O.Railway.Meetings of the full Cabinet will be held daily for some few days.While in New York, the Premier and his party were asked by leading capitalists and leading railway magnates for information of all kinds concerning the Q.M.O.4 O.Railway.It is untrue, however, that a sale of tho road has been consumated.The official car of the company was very much admired by railway men and others who inspected it, and was unanimously considered as highly creditable to Canadian enterprise and workmanship.The Supposed Burglars.The three prisoners suspected of burglary, whose arrest was reported in Saturday\u2019s Crroxiclz, were taken to the Police Court on Saturday, and were there verbally remanded till to-day and sent eut to jail.The preliminary investigation into their case will probably oommence to-day at the Police Court.It appears that the possession of burglarious tools upon their persons is in itself a violation of tho statutes, and that thoy are consequently liable to an indictment on account of the articles found upon them.The R.C.Chaplain of the Jail want to see the prisoners in their cells on Saturday, but it is reported that his efforts in their behalf were not at all kindly appreciated.Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Celebration.Yesterday at High Mass in St.Patrick\u2019s, the Rev.Father Lowekamp, C.S3.R., Rector of the parish,\u2019 referred in a few impressive words to the fact that the St.Bridget\u2019s Asylum Association had reached the twenty-fitfh year of its existence.He said that these years covered a period of which the congregation of St.Patrick\u2019s had every reason to feel proud and thankful in view of the prosperous condition and the success which had attended the Asylum, for which all bad mads so many sacrifices and in which all took so deep an interest.To mark the occasion, a celebration consisting of a grand concert and at which an address setting forth tho principal events in the history of tho institution would be delivered\u2014and to which he invited all the members of tho congregation\u2014would be held in the Victoria Hall, (St.Patrick\u2019s Literary Institute), St.Anne street, on Thursday, the 29th instant.He trusted to see this celebration a perfect success, and to that end again expressed the hope ot seeing all the congregation giving their assistance.Mew Organ for Bt.Andrew\u2019s Chute.*- St.Andrew\u2019s church in this city is beiug supplied with a magn ficent new organ in place of that destroyed by fire some few months ago.The various portions of the new instrument, which has been* manufactured by Messrs.Smith and Bolton, of Montreal, from specifications prepared by Mr.A.H.Cook, of this city, and Dr.Davies, of Montreal, arrived here about a week ago, and are being hut together ia the church by Mr.Bolton.The new organ is to cost about $2,S00, and contains two manuals and pedals, with some twenty-six stops.It is expected that this fine instrument will be completed about Thursday next.A public opening recital will be given upon it in the church by Dr.Davies, of Montreal, perhaps tl»e cleverest performer and composer of organ music in Canada,\u2014about the end of the week, the exact date of which tefll be announced later.Tho case of the instrument aud its front pipes are very handsome, and tho whole of tho work appears to lie of a first class character.Some of the pedals are to bo of sixteen feet pipes with a 32 feot tone.The swell organ was almost all up on Saturday night, and a memtar of our staff enjoyed the privilege of trying it.The tone is equal to that of any swell of similar character which it has been the lot of the writer to play upon.At the coming recital there will be a rich treat for lovers of sacred music.1881.Gaspe Correspondence.Gaspe, December 13.\u2014Our navigation is open yet to my wharf.Vessels could leave this port at present as well as in the month of October.There is a fine ice bridge inside of the harbor.Two gentlemen, the Messrs.Chamberlin, left here this morning on a cara-boo hunt, with seven men and ton dogs and sleighs.Their hunting ground for tho present is tho St.John\u2019s Rivor.Another party go up tho York River also to-day.Tho travelling along the coast is very bad at present in consequence of the want of suow, a great part being bare.Yonra truly, Joseph Edex.SPECIAL FROM HALIFAX.Halifax, Dec.17\u2014In the Supreme Court to-day Mr.Weeks, Q.C., in tne matter of precedence of Queen\u2019s Counsel respectively appointed by Dominicn and Local Governments, moved upon tho precedence

Pain-Killer.d&w A large proportion of children who die early are those whose brain development is unusually large in comparison with the body.Why is this ?Simply because the functions of the body are too frail to supply the waste going on in the brain consequent upon activa intelligence.Fellows\u2019 Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites is so prepared that it imparts the vifnl principle directly to the brain, while it assists in developing a vigorous and robust body.\td&w Restored to His Usual Healtln From James Mitchell, a well-known Maufac-turer at Spnngfield, Vt.\u201c Several years ago I was

the horse was standing quite still, and the young man on being released from his very serious position, which was done immediately, stated that the accident had occurred between midnight and one o'clock.Dr.Marsau, to whose residence the poor fellow was at once conveyed, found that he had one leg fractured and the other seriously bruised.Dr.Marsau at once sent news of the accident to the father, Mr.Ce-lestin Plante, baker, of St.Michel.The Lnmav Lise.\u2014The advertisement of this well known first-class steamship company appears in our columns this morning, showing the dates of sailing from New \\ ora.Measrs.J.Y.Gilmotir it Co., Paul street, Montreal, are the agents for this district, from whom all tha necessary information can at any time be obtained.Periodicals.\u2014Wo have received from the publishers, Wm.Warwick & Sons, Toronto, the December numbers of those excellent works \u201cThe Sunday at Home,\u201d \u201cLoizure Hour,\u201d \u201cBoys\u2019 Own Paper\u201d and tha \u201cGirls Own Paper.\u2019 Heads of families should see to it that the two latter are regularly subscribed for;

dutifully writes weekly letters to her step-mother and her sister in the little town of Durliam, Maine.One of the letters came last evening, dated at a city in Ohio.Annie Louise writes that her throat, which has been troubling her of late, is now much better.She occasionally alludes to her approaching marriage with James Lord lard, in New York.The wedding will occur early next fall.The last time she will sing in public will be in June next at the City Hall, Portland.The age of Annie is 41 years, and that of the bridegroom elect is 35.They will reside in New York.A Durliam gen-teman, who was one of Cary\u2019s neighbors and schoolmates, said recently : \u201cThere wasn\u2019t a boy or girl in the whole school that could climb a tree or jump a fence so well as Annie Louise.Bare-headed and bare-shouldered, she once took a wild colt to break, and he ran with her to the borders of Auburn before she stopped him.She came back laugliing.\" The gallant commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards of Waterloo was the late Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Askew, Knight, C.B., who died at his residence at Pallisburn, near Coldstream, in June, 1847, when the family estates passed to his next brother, the late Mr.Richard Askew, Recorder of Newcaatle-on-Tyne, and father of Mr.Watson Askew, the present head of the Askews of Pallisburn.To the last named gentleman the restoration of the Waterloo colours is now due.Sir Henry Askew luul command of the 1st Battalion of the Grenadier Guards at the }>as8age of the Bidassoa, the battles of Nivelle and Nive, the passage of the A dour, and blockade of Bayonne, but was not actually present on the field of Waterloo, as he had been severely wounded in the previous engagement at Quatre Bras.The late General James Butler, whose death from the results of an accident took place in the early part o£ the previous year, was the last of the officers of the Grenadier Guards who had served under Sir Henry Askew in the Waterloo campaign and had made the historic charge on the Old Guard when the cry of \u201cUp Guards, and at them\" was not heard for the reason that it was not given.Sir Frederick Roberts has greatly pleased the Germans.Listen to the London correajK>udeut of the Cohofjm Gazette :\u2014 \u201cRarely has a foreign general awarded to the German army such enthusiastic oulo- SeM as Sir Frederick Roberts, who was tely present at the Austrian manœuvres in Hanover and Schleswig-Holstein.In his eyes the German army is the com-pletest machine of war, and the easiest to move, that the world has ever seen.A glance at the military administration, and at the employment of the cadres has provoked his admiration.The way in which a eorpe Jarmee can be mobilized in a single night seemed to him almost incredible, and yet all this is true, for in Germany everything is organized and distributed upon a military system.The railway employes, the telegraphists, and, in general, all employes whose sen-ices might be useful in time of war, are soldiers.The houses of private i>ersons are, so to speak, assessed to the army beforehand.In short, everything is ready for immediate war.Sir F.Roberta also bestows special eulogies on the Prussian officers.As it was he who was the illustrious conqueror of Camlahar, his praises have quite a special value.\u201d Sir Frederick will not lack for suucr kraut and sausages when he next visits the Fatherland.Ou a marble slab at < H>eremmei, in Germany, we read the following :\u2014 Quamlo Marcus Pascha dabit Et Antonius Puntocostem celebrabit, Et Joannes Christum adorabit, Totus inundus væ ! clamnbit.Which means, when Easter shall fall on St.Mark's Day ' April 25), Pentecost on St.Anthony s-Day (June 13), and Corpus Domini on St John's Day (June 24), on the days named all the world shall cry woe.In the year 1886 the above feasts will fall on the days named.The following is attributed to Michael Nostradamus, bom December 14, 1502, died at Salon, June 24,1566 : Quand Georges Dieu crucifera Que Marc le resuscitera, Et que Saint Jean portera, La tin du monde arrivera.That is, when Good Friday shall fall on St.George\u2019s Day (April

It is a man\u2019s belief that when woman was made, jewels were invented only to make her the more mischevious.Life doea not count by years.Some suffer a lifetime in a day, and so grow old between the rising and setting of the suu.Kindness is the only charm permitted to the aged ; it is the coquetry ot white hair.(From the Sew York Ilertild.) There is every reason to fear that the steamer \u201cBath City,\u201d of the Bristol Line, plying between this port and Bristol, England, has been lost at sea.The \u201cBath City\u201d left her home port on the 10th of November, five weeks ago to-day, and when last heard from, two weeks ago, was in distress about three hundred miles southwest of St.Johns, N.F.Mr.Arkell, of Arkell A Co., the New York agents, said yesterday that he had about abandoned hope and believed the vessel to have been lost in a terrible hurricane, which occurred on Friday last, off the Newfoundland coast.The \u201cBath City,\u201d after leaving Bristol, on the 10th nit., was not again heard from un$U the National line steamer \u201cItaly\u201d arrived here and reported having spoken her on the 23th of that month off the Banks.She had lost her foremast and had been otherwise injured in the terrible hurricane of the 23rd, but needed no assistance.Un the 30th she was spoken again by the steamer \u201cMarathon,\u201d bound for Boston, about three hundred miles southeast of St.Johns, N.F., toward wnich she was laboring in distress.The Captain of the \u201cMarathon\u201d reported on his arrival at Boston that the \u201cBath City\u201d had then lost her rudder and was leaking at the stern, but not badly.He declared that her captain declined assistance and said he would be able to make St.Johns without help.This is the last -that is known of the unfortunate vessel.She has not since been seen or heard from, and as she was within 300 miles of a port two weeks ago she is believed to have perished almost within reach of safety.The information in possession of the agénta in this city does not agree with what has been published as coming from*the captain of the \u201cMarathon.\u201d \u201cThe \u2018Bath City\u2019 did not decline assistance from the \u2018Marathon\u2019 said the agent.\u201cOn the contrary, her captain asked the commander of the \u201c.Marathon\u201d to tow him into St.Johns, the \u2018Bath City\u2019 having lost her steering gear and being therefore unmanageable.The captain of the 'Marathon\u2019 declined on the ground that he had run short of coal and was obliged to pat into St.Johns to get a fresh supply to save his own vessel.He was afraid that if he undertook to tow the disabled ship both would be lost.I do not believe there was the slightest danger of this,\u201d continued Mr.Arkell, \u201cthe \u2018Bath City\u2019 had coal for thirty-five days when she left Bristol.Her engines were in good order after her i^is-hap.Suppose the \u201cMarathon\u201d was steaming nine knots.The \u201cBath City\u201d could have made seven, aud u\\u!d not have been much of a drag on the \u2018*Marathon.\u201d I certainly think her captain should have takeh the \u201cBath City\u201d into St.Johns, whither he was himself bound for help.\u201d \u201cWhere do you think the \u2018Bath City\u2019 was when the was loet, if she has been wrecked ?\u201d \u201cWell, the \u2018Somerset\u2019 which came in today after a voyage of twenty-seven days, reports a terrible storm last Friday night off the Newfoundland coast.It is described as a hurricane and I am afraid our steamer, in her disabled condition, without the use of her steering machinery, could not have weathered it.She may have beem lost within only fifty miles of St.Johns.\u201d At the Maritime Exchange and among marine underwriters the general opinion was that the vessel has been wrecked.Said one insurance man, \u201cIf she had not experienced such fearful weather since losing her rudder I should feel quite sanguine that she must be drifting about at sea out of the usual course of passing vessels and that she would yet be found and assisted to port.But if she had to encounter a hurricane in her unmanageable condition I am afraid there is no hope.\u201d This seemed to be the general verdict.THK VKSJJKD AND HKR CKKW AND CARGO.The \u201cBath City\u201d was a new steamer.She was built only a year and a half ago at Mid* dleboro, on the east coast of England, for the Bristol City Line, the owner of some half dozen freight steamers plying between this port and Bristol.She w as built under special survey, and was ranked by the Lloyds at 100 Al, the highest mark.She had an iron hull, with improved appliances for strength aud safety, was 270 feet long, bark rigged and had the English compound engines.Her net tonnage was 1,122 tons and the gross tonnage was 1,800 tons.When she left Bristol, on the 10th of November, she was not heavily laden, her cargo aggregating about 1,500 tons.It consisted of 1,765 bundles of wire rolls, about 13,000 boxes of tin plates, 494 tons of steel blooms, 7.000 boxes of raisins, 43 casks of colcothea, IS bails of grain bags, 1,100 empty petroleum barrels, 5 sheep and a few miscellaneous articles.The various items in her cargo were consigned to thirteen firms in this city.The total vaine of the cargo is placed by the agents at about $150,000, ami the steamer herself is rated at the same figure.She carried no passengers.Her commander was Captain John Ivey, and her first officer Mr.Evans.Her crew numbered twenty-seven men and her complement, all told, was thirty-two.The names of the other three officer^ could not lie learned.All her hands belonged in England and Scotland and were not known here, except the captain and chief officer, who are spoken of as admirable seamen.The captain was a sailor of long experience and was described in words of the highest praise by Mr.Arkell yesterday.He was survivor of the terrible earthquake at Iquique, where his ship was wrecked and his wdfe and children drowned.MHCVK BY THE \u201cCANADA.\u2019 The steamer \u201cCanada,\u201d of the National line, arrived at her dock yesterday morning, after a stormy passage.Her experience has been much the same tu» that of the recently arrived vessels of other lines, but she weathered the hurricanes gallantly and sustained no damage of consequence.On * November 30, in latitude 49 deg., longitude IS deg.\u2019west, the officer of the \u201cCanada\u201d and a boat's crew succeeded, at the risk of their lives, iu rescuing the crew of the bark \u201cAnna,\u201d bound from Pillau to this port, when that vessel was in a disabled condition arising from the loss of her rudder and leaking baoly, The captain of the abandoned bark told the story of the disaster yesterday as follows :\u2014 \u201cMy vessel,\u201d said Captain Siewerts, was the \u201cAnna,\u201d a bark cf 383 tons gross.We were laden with a cargo of rags ami scrap iron.We left Pillau, in the Baltic, on October 30, with a cargo of ten in all\u2014myself, mate and eight sailors.There was nothing remarkable about the weather, exceptiug that it was very rough, u^il November 17.On that day we encountered a terrific gale from north-north-west.The waves, winch broke over the vessel almost continuously, swept away the stanchions, wrecked the bulwarks and stove in one of the lioats.The weather was a little better during the interim between the 17th and the 21st, but on the last named day we ran into a fierce hurricane, blowing from north-northwest.At this time we were in longitude 27 deg.30 min., latitude 50 d'-g.40 min., and 1 never in my life saw- such ter- j rible weather.To say that the seas ran high gives but the faintest idea of the huge masses of water that seemed piled atop of one another, their white crests level with our topsail yards as we sank again and again into the trough of the sea.We could not carry a rag of canvas, and were making her as snug os possible in the teeth of ^ie gale when, without a moment\u2019s warning, our rudder snapped oft'just above tbe water line.Uuable to control the vessel we were now completely at the mercy of the waves.In this helpless condition we remained for nine days.The ship drifted wherever the wind and the sea earned her, the waves broke over her almost without interruption, the deck was under water almost all the time, and, worse than all, we found that after the third day she began to show the effects of the severe straining of her timbers and was soon leaking badly.The work of rigging the pumps was beguu, but it was a long time before we could get them to work, as the baik pitched and rolled so terribly that it was next to impossible to keep one\u2019s footing.When at last we did got them t« work we could only pump by fits and starts, and using all our efforts could hardly keep pace with the leak.Matters were now getting serious and we *kept a sharp and anxious look out for a passing vessel that might take na off.One day we saw a full-rigged ship, but she was too far off to make out our signals, and it was not until the morning of tbe 30th that our fears were allayed by seeing a large SfSamer bearing down directly upon iis.This proved to be the \u2018\u2022Canada,\" of the National Line, from London to New York, ami to the kind consideration of Captain Robinson and the bravery of Second Officer Wilson and the boat\u2019s crew with him we owe onr lives.A PERILOUS RESCUE.\u201cWe signalled the \u201cCanada\u201d as she a,)-preached us that we wished to be taken off, as our lives were in danger, and Captain Robinson in return told us to come to him in our boat.But the only boat we had left was so knocked about os to be unacaworthy, and on our telling him so a boat was 'as soon as possible lowered from the \u201cCanada\u201d under the command of First Officer Wilson.Captain Robinson had to lie by us for four hours before he could manœuvre his vessel into position to get the boat away, and when, at last, she was launched it took the crew an hour to get us off.The sea was very high at the time, the wind blowing fiercely, and the men in the \u201cCanada\u2019s\u201d boats risked their lives to save ours, and God bless them for so doing, say 1.\u201d Captain Siewerts and his crew lost everything they had on the vessel, os they came off with nothing but the clothes they stood up in.Messrs.Funch, Edye A Co.No 27 South William street, to whom the vessel was consigned, took them temporarily in charge.On arriving at the agent\u2019s office Captain Siewerts at once wrote a formal letter to Captain Robinson expressing in earnest terms the gratitude of himself and tin members of the \"Anna\u2019s\u201d crow for their opportune rescue by second officer W'ilson and the boat\u2019s crew under his command \u201cat the imminent peril of their lives,\u201d as also for the subsequent kind treatment on board the \u201cCanada.\u201d the \u201cSwitzerland\u2019s\u201d voyage.Continued gales, confused and dangerous seas, heavy squalls, thunder and lightning, a hurricane, a blinding snow storm and the death of a seaman, due to the terrible rolling of the ship, was the experience in brief of the steamship \u201cSwitzerland,\u201d of the Red Star Line, Captain Jamison, which vessel arrived a\\ this port yesterday morning from Antwerp.Immediately after leaving port.Saturday, November 28, the wind freshened to a strong breeze, and on the following day increased to a gale.Every indication pointing to a continuance of bad weather, the usual precaution of battening down to proteat tbe cargo and issuing orders for the passengers to remain below were attended to by the officers.Before being twenty-four hours out the weather was of the moat unpleasant character, rain pouring down in torrents, and at midnight of Sunday there were blinding flashes of lightning and terrific peals of thunder.From this time until December 5 there were continuous gales form the south-southwest to northwest and north.The seas were dangerously high and confused, so that the ship labored heavily and could only make about two-thirds of her average speed.At half-past seven o\u2019clock on November 30 the fore and aft sails were ordered to be taken in, and while hauling down the foretopsail, H.Stoff, a seaman, was thrown from his feet by a terrible lurch of the vessel and dashed against the iron door of a closet.He was picked up insensible and carried below, but never regained consciousness and died at two E.*ra., from a fracture of the skull.Stoff was uried the following day at about half-past five o\u2019clook, the captain reading the service.The deceased was married and leaves a widow and several children in Antwerp.On Ihe morning of December 5, the barometer showing 28.79, the wind shifted from the south to cast-southeast and blew with hurricane force.At ten a.m.the seas were appalling and continued so throughout the day.The wind suddenly hauled to the northward at four p.m., when the seas, if possible, became worse and w'orse.The ship was headed north-northwest ami the engines slowed for several hours.At eight o\u2019clock the gale moderated and the wind shifted to northwest, the cross seas being fearfully bad and breaking over the ship fore and aft.The same condition of affairs continued until the evening of December 6, when it moderated, and light and variable winds were had with few exceptions the rest of the passage.At ten a.in.on December 11a blinding snow storm, with a high northerly sea rolling, was experienced, causing the officers ami crew os much annoyance and possibly more suffering than the heavy gales of the early portion of the voyage.At midnight of this day it became intensely cold and the forward part of the ship was covered with ice.\u201cA very bad passage, take it all in all,\u201d said Chief Officer Rronne, \u201cand the ship rolled and kicked and strained almost into port.\u201d OTHER TEMPESTUOUS PASSAGES.The \u201cSomerset\" arrived yesterday morning after a very long and terribly stormy passage, having sailed from Bristol on November 17, and put into St, Johns for coal on December 6.She experienced almost a continuons sc ries of storms aud hurricanes throughout the pansage.On November 25 a heavy sea was shipped, slightly injuring four of the seamen and also First Officer Jones, while the third officer bad three finger nails torn off.On the 26th a huge wave broke the windows of the cabin skylight and the saloon was partially floeded.At half-past four p.m.the port steering chain parted, carrying away the after steering gear and three leads in the scrappers through which the chain passed.It was an hour before the damage oould be repaired, ami meanwhile the vessel was exposed to great danger, as she rolled helplessly in the trough of the sea.On the 29th she took a heavy sea on the starboard side which burst in the saloon doors and the saloon was again flooded to the depth of nearly a foot.Better weather was experienced from Newfoundland to this port.The steamer \u201cLake Manitoba,\u201d Captain Scott, arrived in port from Liverpool yesterday morning, making the passage in less than fourteen days.For a whole week the ship experienced strong gales from northwest to southwest, with dangerous seas.Occasionally a hail or snow squall made matters more unpleasant, and the few passengers on board were required to keep below until moderate weather, which was had on December 8.The balance of the passage was with moderate Dead winds and ugly seas.< The steamer \u2018Tieter de Coninck\u201d arrived from Antwerp yesterday, and Captain Folke reports a very tempestuous voyage.The ship was hove to for thirty-six hours in the English Channel, terrific hurricanes from the south to the west-northwest and back again to the south, requiring the greatest vigilance on the part of all hands ro avoid disaster.The seas were high and particularly dangerous.Fresh westerly gales, with heavy head seas, were experienced until December 1, when a hurricane from the south-southwest and terribly confused seas made the outlook extremely unpleasant The hurricane lasted ten hours and then moderated to a strong gale.Freeh breezes and bad seas were experienced the last ten days of the passage.\u201cThough the weather was terrible,\u201d said Captain Folke, \u201cthe ship was not injured in the least.\u201d The ship \"Swell,\u201d of Newcastle, Me., Barstow, master, laden with general merchandise consigned to James VV.El well A Co., has arrived at Cape Agulhas.Her skipper reports a severe gale blowing from the north-west to the north-northwest which lasted six days, during which time heavy cross seas swept her decks with merciless fury.On October 31 she passed the Cape of Good Hope and St.Helena November 9.Light trade winds set in from the south-east and the Equator was crossed November 21 iu longitude 31 deg.30 min.Strong trade winds were experienced in latitude 24 degrees, succeeded by light, variable winds and heavy squalls from the north-west, which continued eight days, the vessel being then west of Bermuda.On October 25 she spoke the bark \u201cMabel Jones,\u201d cf Adelaide, bound for the United Kingdom.Amable Cote vs.Magloire Brochu.\u2014lo.Lot No.1ST B of the official cadastre of the

not easy to get information concerning the wreck.The steamer \u201cM.A ^ Starr,\u201d from Charlottetown via the Eastern'shore port*, brought some news from the steamer ; while passing Indian Harbour Capt, Rook, of the \u201cStarr,\u201d saw a large steamer ashore and ran in.Thu \u201cRochdale\u201d was well up on the beach, having run in over the bar between the two head-lands.The \u201cStarr\u201d could only get within about a quarter of a mile of the place.The forward compartments of the \u201cRochdale\u201d wore full of water and the water was still gaining, the punqis being of title use ; had she run ashore either to the South or West of the place where she now lies she would have probably been lost with all hands.Most of her cargo can be saved if lighters can be obtained in time.She now lies on a stony bottom in a sheltered cove and is drawing three feet of water forward and twelve aft.If the weather continues fair she will probably be got off ; the only wind that can do her any harm is from the south-west which would cause a heavy sea.The Captain of the \u201cRochdale\u201d was sick from the time of leaving Charleston, was so when the accident happened and is still in that condition.The crew are still on Ixiard but can do very little without help.Two wrecking steamers left here to-day for Indian Harbor to give what assistance they can.-The

preparation\u2014Northrop & Lymxn\u2019s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites of Limn and Soda.It stands alone, distinct, is like itself, and nothing else.It embodies the beet results of advanced pharmaceutical science.It accomplishes positive, decisive results, effectually relieving coughs (when the lungs are not tuberculous or botielessly affected), colds,* laryngitis, and diseases of a scrofulous origin.While it does not cure Consumption, it is the most reliable means of defence against that dreadful scourge.The invigorating properties of the hypophosphites reimburse thb system débilitât ed by the constant wear and tear of a cough while the paroxysms rapidly diminish in vio lence, in consequence of the soothing emollient action of the cod liver oil upon the inflamed lung membrane.Tho phosphorous, lime and soda, in combination with it, are all natural componen in the construction of the bodily edifice, which, in a state of decay, lacks a sufficiency of those eleuiuuts.These the hypo-phosphites supply, increasing the nutritive proi>ertie8 of the blood, and bniiding up and rehabilitating the tottering human structure with a degree of promptitude as astonishing as it is gratifying to the invalid.A perceptible gain in flesh as well as in strength is one of the consequences of using this standard preparation, whicl^both time and experience have demon atrated to be fully worthy o the confidence reposed in it.Prepared by NORTHROP A Lyman, Toronto, and sold by all druggista.October 20, 1881.\tnov24'80-J m-d&w AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT.In an age of
