NEWS BY TELEGRAPY.
C ANADIAN, Monrreat, Oct. 13.
In the case of the Consolidated Bank Directors two motions to quash the indict- ments and also the demurrer raised on the sane grounds were dismissed by Judge Monk to-day. The judgement on most of the points raised followed that rendered by the Court of Appeals in the Cote case. Mr. Kerr intimated that this case would also be carried to appeal.
After the judgment of Judge Monk, in the case of the Consolidated Bank Directors t8-day, dismissing the application to quash the indictment, Sir Francis Hincks elected to be tried separately, and his trial is fixed for Thursday next. Excitement in the case is increasing.
Active export enquiry has set in for the winter.
Leading coal dealers have advanced prices 25 cents per ton to-day.
Nails have advanced 25 cents per keg here. Some people complain that the ad- vance made by wholesale iron dealers here on Saturday in bar iron is without reason, the Scotch and English markets not war- ranting it.
UNITED STATES. : New York, Oct. 15. John H. Walthall, a silk merchant of Patterson, fatally beat an old man named Conkling, on Saturday, for whipping the former’s child. New York, Oct. 12. $15,000 worth of bank of England notes were stolen last night from a trunk in the room ‘of Dr. N. C. McLean, of London, now visiting this city. Dr. McLean’s fel- low traveller has been arrested.

Vhe Dunns in Zululand.
The Dunn family has reached princely honors in Africa, in the person of John, who may possibly yet be King of that coun- try. He has, however, developed some curious tastes :— *
John Dunn is the son of a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, who was killed by an elephant in Natal many years ago. Jehn married a half-caste woman; but when he settled in Zululand most of the chiefs, by way of making him thoroughly at home, sent daughters as offerings—gifts he could not well refuse. He has, fer an Englishman, therefore, rather an unusual number of wives; there are twenty Zulu hovuris in his harem, besides the half caste, and his family already consits of ninety little Dunns. His profession for many years past has been ‘“‘gun running,” in other words, that of smuggling firearms across the frontier into Zululand, an operation he long conducted with noted ‘success, thereby laying the foundation of his wealth. As the great Sir Garnet has decreed that gun running shall cease, he has set a thief to cateh a thief, and Dunn, no doubt, will prevent everybody he can from indulging in the profitable trade.
Relics of Phaseoh 4 army i in the Red Sea.
At a sitting of the French Academy up- wards of five years ago, M. Lesseps stated, upon the authority of the reports made by his Engineers, that ‘‘at the time the Israelites left Egypt under Moses’ leader ship the ebb and flow of the tides of the Red Sea reached up to the foot of the Sara- gaim, near Lake Timsah.” If this be cor- rect, it follows that the spot where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea was situated net to the south, but to the north of the present extremity of its northern arm. In his paper, ‘‘Les Mondes,” Abbe Meigne has traced the course of the Children of Israel day by day, in accordance with these new data, and he asks the whole Christian world, since the spot is now known where the Egyptians were swallowed, with ‘‘the horse and his rider,” chariot, and every- thing, to subscribe the req: lisite funds to enable the excavations te be made and ‘‘the relics of the army overcome by the Al- mighty himself to be brought to light.” The learned Abbe will undertake the work if he succeeds in getting together 300,000 francs, ‘‘because the finding of the re- mains of Pharaoh’s army would be a powerful reason in favor of the truth of the Holy Scriptures.”

AnoTHER Seat Suot.— Sir Harry P. Burrard, as mentioned in the Evening Tel- egraph of Saturday, has shot another seal near our coast. ‘I'he place this time was in the vicinity of Shag Rock, on the Carleton shore. Sir Harry, who was accompanied by Mr. Brickley, shot and harpooned the seal in the afternoon. His sealship after being harpooned, did not want to be brought into the abodes of civilization, but set off at a lively pace, traversing a couple of miles or so and causing Sir Harry to make quick time to keep his seal well in hand, which he did. The seal was placed in the window of Hannington Brothers, and its huge size and fine,appearance attracted crowds, indicating that an aquarian would be in favor here. The door of the shop of Hannington Brothers was frequently com- pletely blocked with visitors, to such an ex- tent, indeed, that the proprietors must have concluded that in the seal they had poses- sion of an “elephant.” Mr. Chaloner’s aquatic curiosities at the oppesite corner, were completely eclipsed on Saturday. —St.

Where it Never Rains.
lu Peru, South America, rain is unknown. The coast of Peru is within the region of perpetual southeast trade winds, and though the Peruvian shores are on the verge of the great soytheast boiler, yet it never rains there. The reason isplain. The southeast trade winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike the water on the cost of Africa. Travelling to the northwest they blow ob- liquely across the ocean until they reach the coast of Brazil. By this time they are laden with vapor, which they continue to bear along dcross the continent, depositing it as they go, and supply with it the sources of the Rio de la Plata and the southern tri- butaries of the Amazon. Finally they reach the snow capped Andes; here is wrung the last particle of moisture ‘that a cold temperature can attract. Reaching the summit of that range, thev now tumble down as cool and dry winds on the Pacific slope beyond. Meeting with.mo evaporat- ing surface and no temperature colder than that to which they were subjected on the mountain teps, they reach the ocean. Thus we see how the tops of the Andes become reservoirs from which are supplied the rivers of Chili and Peru.

Stumbling into a Mesvings:
(From the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
A comely young maiden, fresh from the shores of old England, arrived in this city on her way West to join her brother, who lives in a small town in Ohio. When she arrived here she concluded to stop over one train and visit her cousin, whe is employed at the coke ovens on Mount Washington. After the greetings were exchanged, she went to the depot and found that she had missed the train. As she was a stranger in the city, she determined to return to her cousin’s boarding house and await the next train. She again ascended the mountain, and while on her way she passed around the stable and stumbled against a stalwart pud- dler, who is likewise a German, and bears the name of Latherbaugh, and who was coming from the opposite direction. ~ He apologized for the accident, and being struck with the English maiden’s appear- ance, stopped fora moment, Then a con- versation was had, which ended by Lather- baugh accompanying her to her cousin's house. In half an hour after they had reached the boarding house they were be- trothed. The happy German immediately started out in quest of a minister, and in a few mements the silken knot of matrimony was tightly tied.
Str Lzeonarp Titiey’s visit to » Wanhing- ton is stated. to be for the purpose of in- specting the United States system of Bank- ing and Finance. This information comes from a Washington telegram, but the Tor- onto ‘‘Telegram” seems to have received in- formation of the same kind, for its says :-— “Tt is thought likely that when Sir Leonard Tilley is in Washingten he will make some enquiries in regard to currency matters. It is quite possible that the Canadian currency system may be assimilated to the system in vogue in the United States, in so far as re- gards the issue 6f netes by the banks. The system there requires the banks to invest in Government securities, the Government in return guaranteeing the notes issued by the banks, which are not allowed to exceed ninety thousand dollars on the hundred thousand invested in ‘securities. By this means the note-holders are secured in case
of the failure of the banks, but the stock-
holders have to take their chances all the same. This plan may be adopted in Can- ada, and probably the Finance Minister’s visit to Washington may not be unconnected with it. But the adoption of the Govern- ment security plan would be a very different thing from the issue of irredeemable paper money—which paper money men are ad- vocating.

CotontaL Dsrences.—Imperial Commis- sioners are at present in British Columbia examining the harbors and defences there. A despatch dated Victoria, British Colum. bia, September 5, says :—‘‘It is reported that they have condemned the present site of the dockyards at Esquimalt as being un- tenable in case of war.”—London Times, Sept. 26.
{ |The advance on iron will give a great im- petus to the Londonderry Iron Works.
They have a vast stock of material on hand and can quickly take advantage of the market. English cable despatches report an advance of 40 per cent, on merchantable iron in 90 days and of nearly 50 per cent.
on pig iron in 70 days.
