at this time too the) money market became depresscd.It would therefore be seen that there was an asbeoldte necessity for placing the securities on the European market in order to carry out the proposed improvements, Ald Bernard detailed the circumstances of their visit to London and the negotiations he and the City Treasuter.had succeeded in effecting, showing that they were not able at at first to place the bonds at more than 90.He went ¢n to show that it was a difficult matter to e Municipal Bonds on the London market; but more difficult still when they were those of Foreign municipalities.Thecity of Bpston loan commenced at hed 98 and 99.Athis \" suggestion Messrs.Lawrence, Pierce & Co., the great bankers of Loridon, were advised to purchase the bonds and issue them to the publio.He proceeded to shaw how Sir John Rose had been implcated ig the affair, and finally succeeded im placing the bonds at 85.He looked upon the transaction as & good one, bat if it were not, it was the best that could pf all improvements, &c., ed, it was worth some- , \u2018securities were placed ney market, and in such perfectly sure that they ted in the future.As regards the price itsplf\u2014some thought it was too low, while others thought it was high enough.The Aldérman concluded by reading a letter from Mr.Black, City Treasurer, with regard to the Joan effected in London.After somo further discussion, in which nearly all tho members took part, the amendment of Coun.Stephens was put and lost\u2014 Yeas 6.Nays 19.- The Council after pome farther routine busl- ness adjourned shortly after midnight, THE BELLE INVESTIGATION.The enquiry was resumed yesterday atjer- noon before Mr.Sheriff Leblanc.Gustavus Joseph] Vancaster's examination by Mr.St.Pierre continued \u2014 I am positive that when the affidavit was read to me, I thought that it to izduce me to withdraw my complaint.I (was discharged from the Police force on the 23nd of January, by order of Chief Penton.At half-past eleven o'clock to me on my beat street, and told me station when Bergeant The latter said\u2014* Van.harged.\u201d He had a written I asked him why I was discharged, but he refused to re- on Bt.3 to return to the - Anger was on duty the shape of a letter, I afterwards made an affidavit to the same.(Affidavit produced and fyled.) Since the 220d of January efforts have been made to obtain signatures to a document in praise of Mr.Belle as Immigration Agent, By Mr.Achille |Belle\u2014I made complaint to the Government of my own acoord without being set thereto by anybody.The affidavit was written by Hans Muller under my dictation.then requested Maller to go and fetch a commissioner before whom \u2018I might swear to its contents.I did not give Mr.Muller any money to pay for the cab when he went to fetch me the commissioner, nar did I pay him for writing out the affidavit.Since I left the Police Force] bad a littl money saved up also a gold watch, which I s0]d.The money I obtained f.r the latter sufficed me up to the present time.The namd of my wife is Louise De- » being asked where he was married, positively refused to answer tho question, and also/refased to answer any ques tions about matters which had taken place to Belgium in 1870.I Hved some time at Great Bay, a the State of Wisconsin, but was never martjed there, nor In any part of the I never was married to a woman named Marie Joseph Martin, bya minister called Cfonte, but I was affianced to ber in bis presence.did not while fn Belgium maintain that the marriage between ms and the woman Marle Joseph Martin in Wis- copsia was void, wing to the minister performing the cerethopy without any formality.The Commission then adjourned until two o'clock this aftergoon, when Mr.Doherty will witnces.THE ISLE OF SHOALS MURDER.The excitement in Maine and New Hampshire ovet the murder of the two young | women on Smulty Nose Island continues vuabated./ It sqems that the occupants of the oply house [upon Smutty Nose Islsad were three men and three women, the former being absent fron home a large portion of the time \u2018engaged in troll fishing.Th-irc pames are John [and Matthew Houtvet (not Huntress as state brothers, and Ivan Cristenson and wif-, Anpethe sod Miss Keren ('ristemson.Ta: women wire loft alone Wednesday night while the, men were in Portsmouth baiting their trolly for the morrow\u2019s fishing.- YER APSASSIN AT WORK, Louis Wrçvet, the murderer, was in the cæploy of Houtvet, and during & portion of Wedneeday evening (12th instant) assisted the latter\u2019 In the task of troll baiting.He disappeared, however, about eight o'clock.On Thursiay mérning, about seven o'clock, Heuntvet went gut to the Shoals to set his | trclls, and was Bailed by some women from | iadly bruised and manglèd 1 axe.From appearances it is probable that aleo applied himself to securing the amend- ply to my question.Bince I was discharged no oue has tried to induce me to withdraw À my complaint.After making my charge in procecd with the cross-examination of the | À in former despatches), both | an island adjoining that on whioh the murder was committed.Taey informed him ot the mrder, although the extent of it was nos imagined by them., vus VIOTIMS.to the house and found Annethe Orlstenson Ivicg dead in her nighticlothes, with ber bosd , apparently by au slo erdeavored to escape, but was overtaken gud killed outside the house and the body dragged into the kitchen.The men looked further «nd saw the body of Karen lying on the bedroom floor, in & scmi-nude state, in a pool of blood.Bhe was clothed with a chemise.The feet were straightened out, as if she had been ia great agony.A white bandkerchief was tied tightly around the neck, the knot being at the back of the head, probably to strangle her after she bad bidden under the bed, Outside was a pool of blood and marks of a struggle in the snow, and there were finger marks of blood on the doorway.The wounds were not soffi- clent to cause death, which must have ensued frcm strangulation.Sickened and faint, Houtvet, with his comrades, turned from the scene and came into Portsmouth end told the tale of horror.- THE CORONBR.and his jury proceeded to Smutty Nose Island and found the mutileted bodies bathed in blood,lying upon the floor just as the murderer leftthem, together with the blood-bespattered doors and windows.The broken farniture, crockery and other things all telling the story of {kx terrible struggle for life that must have ensued ere the fiend accomplished his cruel work.The condition of the bodies and house was about as stated above in the acoount given by Mr.Houtvet.Karen was twenty-five years of age and unmarried, and Apnethe, two years her junior, was married.A PAINFUL EXPERIENCE.Mrs.Houtvet gave a terrible account of the scene in the house while the murderer was performing his bloody work, When he entered the house the women thought he was John Houtvet, until he began his murderous attack.Mrs.Houtvet pulled Karem into the bedroom with Annethe and hersell \u2018 told Annethe to jump out of the window, and she did s0 ; told her to run, but She was £o irightened that she could only get to the corner of the house ; I was holding the door of the bedroom, and the person in the kitchen was trying to force his way in; wken he could not get in, he went out around the house, and I heard Annethe shout, \u2018 Louis ! Louis!\u201d he went back to the door and got the axe, and came through the window ; I saw him strike her three times ; I could not sse the face,-but could see the figure of the man, and I knew him to be Louis Wagner.1 jumped through the window, taking my skirt, and ran down by the hen-house; I tried to get Karen to come too, but she said she was too tired ; I ran to the dock, but could fiad no and hid behind the rocks; we went to bod abcut ten p.m., and when I hid behind the rocks the moon was just setting; I stayed there until after the sun rose, fearing Louis Wagner was still on the island ; I went down to the north side and swung my skirt as a signal for help.\u201d A Mr.Inglebretsen came over from Appledore snd took her off.Mrs.Houtvet suffered very much from her foet, which were frosen, but is doing well now.OBJROT OP THE ORIME.Mr.Houtvet had $45 in a trank, $10 of it being.in a pocket-book.The $10 was taken by Wagner, also $5 from a pocket-book belonging to another man, and somo scrip from another, which shows that robbery was the incentive, As already stated the murderer was arrestod in Boston.He was brought to Portsmouth, N.H, and lodged in the station house.It required all the efforts of the oflicers in charge, assisted by a detachment of marines from the Navy Yard, to keep him frem being seized and lynched by the angry crowd.On Saturday Wagner was confronted with Mrs.Houtvet, who recited in his presence the story of the terrible crime, and then enquired in broken but pathetic English how he could bave committed so horrible a deed.Wagner, who preserved a wonderful composure, denied all knowledge of it.It having been decided that Smutty Nose Island is in Maine, Wagner was on Saturday night conveyed from Portsmouth tô Saco in that State.A strong force of pulice armed with revolvers and bludgeons surrounded him and kept back a yelling and infuriated mob, among whom were about one hundred Water street fishermen, armed with clubs, pistols and brickbats.While passing up Congress street a large brick was thrown at the prisoner, striking him on the side of the head over the left ear, causing the blood to flow freely.Two of the officers wero also hit.A wild and macdened: fisherman, a relation of the murdered girls, ran about with a revolver, trying to get & chance to shoot the object of his vengeance, and had it not been for fear of sheot- ing the policemen, the body of the wretched murderer would have been riddled by bullets ere he had reached the depot.But while the crewd were noisy and turbulent, they wero.intimidated by the resoluteness of the officers, 80 that the waiting train was soon reached, and Wagner was quickly hustled into the cars and delivered over to the\u2019 threo sheriffs of York county.Le Ve Po GARDENERS.HOT-BRD GLASS for sale, cheap.JOHN MILLEN, Je.26454 snd 6% Ut.Catherine street.pARTIES IN WANT OF FOUNDRY CINDBERS Can have them by spplying at the Foundry.W.CLENDINNENG.ORSE CARROTS for Sale.Ap- p'y W.EVANS, Bosdsman, MoGill street.JOHN MURPHY, HOUSE, SIGN.AND FRESCO \u2014 and agent for the PATENT AMERICAN WO0OD CARPETING AND PARQUBT FLOURING, wiil remove In à few days to Clendinneng's new block, immediately west of Victoria Square, Craig st.J.M.still sots spon the old motto, * Whatever worth doing, is worth doing well.\u201d | All kinds of common painting, also the very best, dome in the most thorough manner.| de PAPERING, WHITEWASHING, AND TINTING, 1M FIRST-CLASS STYLR.TAILORS TRIMMINGS.| \u2014 | Juet received, & choice assortmant of all kinds of Tailors\u2019 Trimmings, Cioths, Tweed i, &c., for Spring.WHALLEY & WOODS, | and 206 M Gist.ANTED, a respectabie yong woman Mo t3 nd toa baby: ons who can 5 Ww and would m &e herself usefu referred.App ÿ tetween 1 anf 3 od'eluek, or after v'ciock, at 10 Univarsity street, sc- ond door off Dorebester.!

P.M.(LAST) EDITION Ma GLaDiToNR's Ramesarion.\u2014The prompt resignation of Afr.Gladstone after his defeat on the Irish Education Bill is characteristic of Constitutional England, and shows the overmastering sense of responsibility to the popular will as expressed through its ropre- sentatives that distinguishes British Ministries.As might be expected, Mr.Disraeli is looked to as his successor.The probabilities are that the bill was defeated où a six months\u2019 hoist amendment to tho second reading, as Mr.Gladatone bad declared\u2014as \u201creported by telegragh lately \u2014that he would accept any amendment or modification thas would do no harm to the bill rather than risk îts loss.Perhaps sido influences tended to aggravate the opposition to Mr.Gladstone's government.There appears to have been a growing feeling, whether well-besed or otherwise, that Logland was losing weight in her foreign policy-\u2014a suspicion that in the dispute with Russia, Mr.Gladstone did not take the firm ground becoming a great mation with right on its aide.This, added to the prevalent belief, well or ill founded as it may be, that the late Premier was inclincd to be more gracious to the Bomish hierarchy than Protestants could approve, would be sufficient to combine against bim the msjority of Parliament.Conservatives have been very successful in elections lately, and this is symptomatic to a certain extont of the public feeling.As for Cardinal Cullen and his followers they may regret the oppesition which has brought about the change of Government, as, bowever little was granted them under Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Bill, they will perhaps not zét as much from Lis successors, who will not dare any more than himself to make concessions to denominationalism, FROM
