THERE were no trials at the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this morning.

New Milk Cheese were retailed in the market to-day at a very moderate price.

Tus Ottawa Citixn is to be issued in the morning hereafter, instead of in the even- ing.

* Scnooners are now being loaded with the Early Rose potatoes at several wharves on East River. These potatoes command 20 cents per bushel.

Tar Rey. Henry Crawford, of Richmond Bay, (West) will preach in the Upper Prince Street Presbyterian Church on Sabbath, morning and evening.

Tue King’s County Advertizer says & Georgetown man was dexteriously relieved of nineteen dollars on Monday evening, by some light-fingered individual, who explored his pants’ pockets.

Tur Collector of Customs deserves thanks for the thoughtfulness and courtesy he has displayed in placing the Customs boat at the disposal of Citizens during the stay of the Bellerophon. A large number of ladies and gentlemen availed themselves of the facilities he offered to inspect the ship.

AN assault case between two parties from West River was commenced before Theoph. DesBrisay, Esq., to-day, and afterwards withdrawn and settled. A action brought by William Heard, Esq. against a number of small boys for stealing fruit, was tried by Mr. DesBrisay. The case was dismissed. Plaintiff to pay all costs.

JouRNALISTIc.-—A movement is on foot to organize the Sun Publishing Company of St. John. The Company will include the staunchest business men in the commu- nity ; and the Sun will, no doubt, be one of the. most ably conducted newspapers in New Brunswick. Persons in this Island who require a St. John paper should take the Sun.

Ax insolent marine came to grief at the West End of this city last evening. A yoting gentleman and lady happened to be

ing in that vicinity when the marine, with a dignified air, took a position between them, and for afew moments appeared te enjoy all the pleasure of the promenade. The young man became enraged, and was assisted in administering to the insolent fel- low @ castigation that he will remember while visiting the quiet cities of the De- minion.

On Wednesday night last an old man named Michael King was assaulted in a very serious manner by his son-in-law—John McQuaid. Mr. King was setting in his house at the time, when McQuaid ap- roached and struck him on the side of the Con with a heavy stone. He fell to the floor and remained insensible until the ar- rival of De. Hobkirk. McQuaid was ar- rested and remanded to jail antil such time as Mr. King is able to appear against him.

We regret to learn that Mr. Richard Wright, grocer, of Prince Street, met with a very serious accident last evening. When passing towards the Athenzum about 8 o'clock he was struck by a runaway team and knocked almost lifeless. He was car- ried to his residence and Dr. Beer was summoned. Qn examination it was found that his jawbone was broken and his body injured in several places. Mr. Wright shortly recovered consciousness. Up to the present he lies in @ very critical condition.

THERE was a grand demonstration in honor of Hon. Mr. ‘Tilley and Hon. Dr. Tupper in Moncton, on the 25th inst. On arrival they were met by a large crowd of citizens who, headed by a band of music, escorted them to the Weldon House, where they were dined in first-class style. At seven o’clock a torchlight procession a half mile long escorted the party to the Rink. Qver two thousand pers: ns were pr @:nt. Enthusiastic speeches were delivered by Hon. Messrs. Tilley, Tupper, Domville, Mitchell, Adams, Botsford, and Messrs. Black and Chapman.

Pastorat Cuances.—We learn that the Rey. J.C. McDonald preached a short farewell sermon at Upper Cardigan on Sun- day last. His mission will hereafter be confined to Georgetown and Cardigan Bridge. His‘abors in that parish, during the short space of three years, have been fraught with remarkable success. He car- ries with him the undying esteem and ven- eration of that congregation, the prosperity of which has greatly increased under his faithful ministrations. That parish along with Morell will be the mission of his suc- cessor, Rev. M. McMillan, of Grand River, Lot 14, whose place will be filled by the Rey. Angus McDonald.—K. ©. Adv.

A norse belonging to Mr. George Thorn, butcher, attached to a heavy wagon, took fright while s ancing at the south side of | the Market House this forenoon, and em away. Immediately after the start he ran’ foul of a market wagon, broke it, and a the foul got clear of his own, which was also badly broken. He then passed into Richmond Street, turned on Queen Street, gad galloped wildly up the west sidewalk. | On passing the store of James DesBrisay, |

., the horse slipped and fell on his side, ' and in his attempt to regain his feet, his fore hoofs struck the heavy panes of plate glass in Mr. DesBrisay’s window, and broke two of them. He was captured before he

regained his feet or did further damage. |

Our Washington Letter.

Wasurtneton, D. C., Sept 24, 1878.

The Chinese Embassy has at last arrived and taken up its abode at the fine and roomy headquarters which have been rented for its use. The party consists chiefly of His Excel. lency Chin Lan Pin, first Plenipotentiary to the United States, Spain and Peru, whose mission is to organize a Chinese consular and diplomatic service ; Plenipotentiary ; Mr. Yeh, first Secretary of the Legation; Mr. Yung, second Secretary, and various attaches, servants and attend- ants. Chin Lan Pin, the chief of the Em- -bassy, is an old .man of the pure Mongolian type, a widower, clad in Chinese costume, as are all of the party save Yung Wung, who is at least twenty years younger than his chief. They have three Chinese cooks and two Am- erican, but the majority of the party prefer dishes served in Oriental style. ‘They have two dining-rooms—one in which Asiatic cook- ery is spread, and the other for American viands. Only a few of the company speak English, and one American secretary is em- ployed by them. The Embassy has not yet been formally presented to the President, but will be sometime this week, and will spend the next two or three weeks sightseeing and resting, after which Chin Lan Pin, with bis diplomatic corps, wili proceed to Madrid and thence to Peru, arranging a ministerial and consular service at both places, then returnin to Washington. The Embassy is eoctaiad for a term ef three years.

An amusing scene occurred at the Intericr Department the other day. A crazy woman walked into Secretary Schurz’s roem and ap- plied for work. When told that there was no vacant places and no work there for her to do, she declared that work she would, and left, saying she would go after her broom and come back to do sweeping; and, what was more, at the end of the month she would demand her yay. Ina few minutes she returned, true to her word, with a large new broom which she began to wield most vigorously, having first laid aside her hat and donned her cap and apron. A crowd soon collected to see her put out, which was quite easily accomplished by means of fair promises, ‘‘ white lies,” etc. The last such scene at the Treasury Department was when Dr. Mary Walker was forcibly eject- ed, last fall. The Doctor was denied admit- tance into the Treasury building because she wears pantaloons and short skirts instead of a street-sweeping train ; but she managed to get ‘in unobserved, and the task of getting her out was by no means easy. She refused to go, and when the watchman tried to push her from the building she fought him tooth and nail. She pounded him with her umbrella, pulled his hair, and defended herself with all her wo- man’s might.

Since the threatened riot of the strikers, a few weeks ago, the Treasury has been guarded with extra care, a force of 250 able men well armed with Springfield rifles being placed at the command of the captain of the watch. An extra night guard has also beeu formed, which is able to repel any mob violence that might be offered.

Mrs. Leroux, widow of a Lieutenant in the Forty-eighth Foot, has just died in England at the age of eighty-eight. From the passage of the Douro, May 12, 1809-— she was then only nineteen—till the battle of Salamanca, July 23, 1812, she was the constant companion of her husband in Spain. An English paper recalls the fact that Senator Gordon’s wife was with him constantly during the civil war; that in the Burmese war of 1826 three young and hand- some native women of rank, who were sup- posed to be gifted with supernatural powers so that no bullet could wound them, rode among the levies, encouraging them to fight against the English, and how, on almost every battlefield, the corpse of a woman is to be found among the slain. Sergeant- Major Cotton, in his ‘‘ Voice from Water- loo,” says that there were many females found among the dead, and that all of them wore male attire, and were known to have been as martial in their bearing and as courageous as the ordinary rank and file. Just at the moment when Shaw, the Life Guardsman, fell mortally wounded, ‘‘ after having killed nine of his steel-clad oppon- ents,” a French officer, whose horse had been shot under him, seized the regimental colors of the Thirty-second Foot, which was carried by Lieutenant Belches. A struggle ensued, and the Frenchman endeavored to draw his sword, when he was wounded in the breast by the thrust of a halbert, and immediately after was shot dead by a sol- dier named Lacey. It was in vain that Major Toole exclaimed, when it was too late, ‘‘Save that brave fellow !” and after the battle the generous Major and Colonel Brown discovered that the French hussar officer whom Lacy had shot was an exceed- ingly handsome young lady.

ParaGcrapus like the following from the Berlin ‘‘ News” tell their own tale :—‘‘ As an evidence of the good result of the change of Government, we are already able to an- nounce the fact that the Dominion Button Works are to be increased to double their present capacity. The energetic proprietor, Mr. Jacob Y. Shanz, being now in the far- west, when he heard of the result of the election, telegraphed home from St. Paul, Minn., to get material ready at once to proceed with the enlargement. The ma- terial is already being collected and by the middle of next week building operations will commence.

Tur Marquis or Loryr’s PROGRESS IN Canapa.—An English paper says: ‘‘ The programme fixed for the Marquis of Lorne on his arrival in Canada is that he shall make a kind of a progress through the chief cities, including Toronto, Kingston, Mon- | treal and Quebec, before taking up his’ official residence in Rideau House, Ottawa. | It is expected that his visit to Quebec will extend over several weeks.”

Tomas CARLYLE has begun his autobi- | ography, which he intends to be his last work, and which is to be published after his death. He will have a more than usually interesting story to tell, as his youth was passed among all the great lit- erary men of the generation now vanished, and he has moved among the great men of the age for fifty years.
