VaLcaBLe Carco.--The brigantine “ Lottie Belle,” Captain Richard Walsh, sailed for London, yesterday, with « cargo valued at $36, 123.75, consisting of 6,566 boxes of lob- sters, shipped by Jehu Hughes, 630 boxes lobsters, by Peter Gavin, 276 boxes lobsters, by J.

Serrous Acctrpent.—Abont a quarter to nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, Mr. Ben- jamin Prowse, driving into the city by St. Peter's Road, found a horse—attached to a cart heavily loaded with boards—lying on his back in the ditch at the side of the stone bridge, about one hundred yards east of Pope's Brewery. On examining, they found that the driver was lying under the load, appar- ently dead. Mr. Prowse immediately called for help, and two gentlemen who just passed along the read, returned and helped to remove the, load off the man, and liberate the horse. Mr. L. W. Goff, who arrived as the load was being removed, proceeded to the city and sent Dr, Beer to the scene of the accident, The unfortunate man was Mr. Christopher Owens, of Krench Fort. He was removed to Mr. Greorge Gregory’s, where Dr. Beer did all in his power to ease his sufferings, Up to the present time he remains unconscious, and the full extent of his injuries are unknown. The accident is a most unfortunate one, and how it occurred is act properly known; bat it is supposed that..Mr. Owen's. hoarse belted. ou passing the bridge, aud there bemg ne railing, the cart toppled over, with the above stated serious result.

Jottings from the Old Country.
IRELAND.
An extraerdinary occurrence has just taken place at Craughwell, in the neighber- hoed of Lenghrea. A number of men with blackenod faces took possession ef the vil- lage after nightfall, and, after partly wrecking a number of houses, threatened the occupants with death if they did not cease taking land from which a tenant had been evicted. They were well armed, and discharged several shots. The farmers whose houses were wrecked on Wednesday night have been threatened with instant death if they do not at ence threw up the land lately taken by them.
Reporrep Disarrrcrien.—-Reports are daily being received from various parts of the country as to the disaffected feelings of the people, and it is hinted that the signs of a new and more dangerous form of anti- property agitation are cleared to be traced. Accordings to statements now in circula- tion, the peasantry are in certain paris being regularly drilled, and secret meet- ings are frequent. The County Leitrim incident has much excited the public mind, and it is taken as the indication of a law- less spirit now only too general.
Tue Distress. —-Crowds of stalwart men and jwomen were on Friday parading the streets of Loughrea and demanding work. They state that a number of labouring men were on Thursday evening found lying exhausted on the roadside, and had to be carried home. A meeting was held, and resolutions passed making a last appeal te the Governnrent for employment. The effigies of some local government officials were burnt, and their position is considered to be one of considerable danger.
Cricket.—It is with deep regret that I hear of the death of Southerton, the well known cricketer. For twenty-six leng years was this popular bowler connected with county cricket. He was somewhat of a wanderer, having played for Hampshire and Sussex, but it was with the Surrey Eleven that he was principally identified. One by one, the old Surrey scheol are dropping away—first Lockyer, then Street, and Tom Humphrey, and now poor Jemmy Souther- ton has gone over to the majority. All fre- quenters of the Oval will remember his style. He was generally most diffi- cult to hit though I shall never forget how Mr. C. J. Thornton, that king of sleggers, punished him in one over in a match down Kensington way some years ago. But then who is it that gentleman does not operate upon when it is his day! One seasen Southerton bowled many thousand. balls in
‘the Surrey matches, but never was there a
wide amengst them, whilst an enormous number of wickets fell t» his unerring hand. He was a dangerous man to play against when he had ten inen in the field He was alsoa
county on several occasions just when they were wanted.

Provincial Exhibition.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sik,- As the meeting of the Exhibition Commissioners is called for an early date, may I be allowed to make a suggestion, which I hope may receive the attention of the farmers before that date. It is that, unless the Government can see their way clear to devoting sutlicient money for the purpose, the amount voted for Exhibition purposes for the next few years be used in the purchase of say three or six good bulls, specially suited fer the purpose of raising the class of cattle suited to the English market. I think that, as an investment, it would be infinitely superior to the en- couragement of the manufaetuve of rag mats, or a good many other purposes to which it might be devoted at present. The pecuniary results to the Isluncd in afew years would be great, for there can be no doubt that we are more favorably situated than any other Province for taking advantage of the live stock trade between Canada and Great Britain, since no long railway trip tu reach the seaboard is required with its loss of flesh and expense, but the cattle can be landed in Liverpool in ten or twelve days after leaving the farm. Yours, ete.,

Washington Letter. Wasnineton, D. C., July 5, 1880.
The political events of the past week may besummed upas follows: The Re- publican National Cemmitiee has elected Hon. Marshall Jewell, as its chairman, and will have its ‘‘ headquarters” at twe or three different points. The Democratic National Committee has virtually decided to elect Senator William A. Wallace, as its chairman, and will probably have its headquarters in this city. The actual campaign will not be opened until after the 12th, when the Demecratic National Committee will meet in Nsw York. After that date the work will probably be such as the younger of our voters have never seen. General Weaver, Greenback candi- date fur the Presidency, has published his latier-of-acceptaney, boing the fret ef the candidates to do so. ‘The General will certainly be a ‘* dark herse” in the caim- paign—probably a very dark one—but it should be said of his letter that it is man- ly, and that he calls attention te many things of general importance wholly ig- nored by the two larger parties.
During the last week an enormous num- ber ef applications for pension were re- ceived——a greater number, in fact, than in some whole years since the war. Appiica- tions filed after June 30th when granted, only carry pension back to date of filing. The pension oftice was kept) open up to 12 midnight on the 30th. The loss of each successful applicant, by failure to apply in time, is from $200 to $2,000, and probably averages $1,000.
Attorney General Devens says, unefli- cially, that all necessary United States Election Marshals will be appointed this year, and that he anticipates no difficulty in having them paid hereafter.
The actual reduction ef public debt for June was less than two milliens. As pub- lished in the papers, about eight millions of nominal but not real reduction was included in the statement.
The Treasurer of the Republican Con- gressional Committee reports that the ‘* voluntary subscriptions’ from the em- ployes of the various executive departments come in abeut as fast as could be expected, but that as the campaign gets more active the responses will be accelerated.
General Hancock is said to feel grieved at the oft published statement of his eager- ness in the matter of the execution . of Mrs. Surratt. It is due to the General to say that all such chargesdo him injustice. He simply did his duty faithfully. Pro- bably, considering the fact that both can- didates have the esteem of all who know them, it, would be well to drop the personal contest now going en. Officials of the bureau of steamboat inspection do not think the criticisms upon them on account of the recent accidents are just, they say any de- fect there may be is in the law. SS
Steaiships Wrecked.
> ee ae =
Intelligence is received of the wreck of the fine new iron screw steamer F. W, Harris, commanded by Capt. Sheldrake, went ashore at the Nerth end of the Chance Cove, eight miles from Cape Race, on Thursday merning last, and has become a total wreck. The passengers and crew were all safely taken off the wreck and brought to St. John’s, N’fid, the fermer by a small fishing schooner that was passing shortly after the disaster, and the latter by the mail steamer Plover, dispatched by Lloyd’s agent at Si. John’s, to sueccer the wrecked steamer.
The screw stearmer Bear, of 700 tons burden, owned by Walter Grieve, of Green- ock, bound from Sydney, C. B., te St, John’s, N’fid, struck the reef en the 4th inst, during a dense fog, near St. Choas, about three miles North of Cape Pine.
She was got off after considerable effort, but the damage to the ship’s bottom and propeller is very serious, necessitating deckage.. The Bear arrived at St. Jehn’s
on the Sth, in a very leaky cendition.
