Strance Fisu.—A number of strange fish have recently been caught in the Harbor. They are said to belong to the ‘*Squid” family and are supposed to have been driven iu by the recent storm, It may be, hovever, that they have sought refuge from some hostile marine monster, possibly the sea serpent, which is much overdue.

Tae Hudon cotton factory will resume manufacturing in December, with a full staff of operatives, the prospects are considered cheering; as the management has orders that will keep the mill going for four months.

Taz Hudson Bay Company's report was issued on the 16th.

Inthe land de partment the progress of collecting arrears has not been so satisfactory as could have been wished, but the general prospect is stated to be encouraging. The result of the year’s business, announced in the June report, caused some disappointment, and shares have fallen off two at a half per cent. since Wednesday.

Correct.—Time is now sorely exercising the minds of St. John’s citizens. The Tele- graph asks: ‘‘What time is it?” and answers: ‘That depends. If you take the time ball you will get one hour. If you ask a New Brunswick Railway man you will get another; if you seek for the information in the Western Union office you will be told something diff- erent from either; and if it isan 1. ©, K. man to whom who are talking he will give you yet another hour.” Now, this is embarrasing, and the Telegraph predicts there will be weeping and wailingand guashing of teeth over this arrangement, Somebody who regulates him- self by Western Union time will start out to call upon his best girl at ap appointed hour, and will find that she, having regulated her actions by N. B. R. time, has not got the other fellow out of the house, and music not on the programme will ensue.

'The Egyptian L[nsurrection—Anni-
hilating Egyptian Troops.
Lonpon, Nov. 22,
A despatch dated Cairo, this morning, |says the army of Hicks Pasha was de- | stroyed by the forces of El Medhi, the | False Prophet. The intelligence was | brought to Khartown by Coptic officials. | The fighting is said to have continued from | the third to the fifth instant, and to have } resulted in the complete annihilation of
the Egyptian troops. It is stated that a correspondent is the only person who escaped. The forces of El Medhi
}are estimated at thirty thousand men. and included Dervishes, Bedouins, Mullatoes }and Regulars. The battle was fought near Eloberd. Ei Mehdi first sent forward Dervishes, deelaring he would vanguish the enemy by divine aid. Subsequently the regulars joined in an _ attack, and the engagement became gen- }erally, The army of Hicks Pasha | which early in the battle was divided into ; two bodies. subsequently re-united and formed a equare which the False Prophet broke after three days desperate fighting. A Council of Ministers was held and it has been decided to concentrate at Khartoum what troops remain at Duem Goba and other places in Soudan. The force under Hicks Pasha comprised twenty-five thousand men. He had with him ten British officers. Mr. O'Donovan of the London Dai/y News, and an artist con- nected with a German illustrated paper, also accompanied his army. It is under- stood that Sir Evelyn Baring has advised the Egyptian Government to abandon Svu- dan and establish a strong frontier line from Khartown in the north of Serna Province to Suikim on the Red Sea. It is reported that the recent orders for evacuation of Egypt by British troops has been counter- mended. ,
