Suddenly the position became alarming. When nearly opposite Coverbridge the water to a depth of a foot or more rushed in on the south side of the boat, and the crowd . sarged again to the north, the boat slowly following the movement, listing over to that side. This time the vessel almost turned on her edge, and the deck floor Be came elevated to an angle not far from per pendicular. All at once the supports of the upper deck gave way with a terrific crash on account of the unnatural position and great weight imposed^ over the railings, and the people tumbled in hundreds head loDg in deep water, and to make the situa tion more terrible the whole of the upper I decks and supports went crashing down on the people below. AN AWFUL SCENE. The scene that followed beggars descrip tion. Between the wreck and the shore could be seen scores of human being 3 who dad become liberated from the mass of debris, and were battling with the element into whose cruel gra9p they were so suddenly thrown, and slowly yielding to its power. Many who were so stunned by the crash as to be unconscious, sank without an effort. The work of recovering the bodies was then begUD, and has continued unremittingly ever since. It is said on good authority that the steamer's boiler was not properly secured, and it shitted with the rockimg boat The captain of the boat has made a statement of the disaster, but it throws no additional light on the catastrophe. He says however, that he ordered a number of people to leave the boat betore she started, but they failed to obey. B. C. Montgomery, leather merchant, of Toronto, was on board, but escaped, and succeeded in saving many others. He states that on the passage up the Captain went among the passengers urging them to keep on the other side, saying : " For God's sake keep on the other side ; if you don't you'll have to swim for it." A little later en he saw the water-pass in over deck, aud the boiler go by the board, when a crash Immediately took place. He could feel the drowning little children, as they swept past him, clutching his legs in their dying struggles, and drowning mothers grasped him frantically aud piteously implored help. Up to 10.30 o'clock to-night 238 bodies have been recovered from the wreck of the Victoria. The bodies still unclaimed are being in closed in shells, and removed to the drill shed, where they can be viewed by anxious friends in search of missing ones. AFTEK THE ACCIDENT. A committee of citizens met this after noon to cousider the situation and concert measures of relief. It was decided to ask the Mayor to proclaim tomorrow a day of public mourning, by the suspension of busi ness ; to call upon those who are in straight ened circumstances, and extend such relief us may be necessary ; to care for such bodies as are neglected, and devise means for the erection of a public monument. It is probable that such a monument will be erected in Woodland cemetery, situated on tho bank of the river, almost overlooking the scene of the disaster. A field battery was called out this after noon for the purpose of blowing up the boiler, under which several more bodies are supposed to be. A large number of remains are taken to a drill shed, there to await further action. People throughout the city feel stupefied by the blow. Almost all business is at a standstill, and crowds line the streets, discussing the sad calamity. The burial of the victims began yesterday afternoon. A solemn stillness prevailed. The city flags were half-mast, and bells tolled a knell. SAD SCENES SUCCEEDING THE WRECK OF THE VICTORIA. London (Ont.), May 27. There are many strangers on the streets from country and neighbouring towns. In several cases entire families, with one or two exceptions, have been exterminated, among the most striking instances being that of Joseph Koughlin, whose children and grand-children, num bering five, are lying dead in his house. His daughter J ennio was married to a young man named Swazie the day before the accident, andthe couple weie both drowned. The family of W. Hall loses five'in one house. Every kind of coffin is in use, and the dead are being conveyed to the burying place by every class of vehicle j. The remains of William Mcßride were carried in a light wagon followed by a procession a mile long. Men can hardly speak to each other without breaking down. Scenes ia the afflicted household are terrible and trying to the strongest nerves. The clergymen who have worked nobly all through, are tired out, and cannot reach ■^tho graves fast enough. In many cases members of different families are put in one grave. Different societies are on hand, and doing their utmost to facilitate burials. The largest procession yesterday was that attending the remains of Willie Glass and Miss Cooper, who were engaged to be mar ried next month, and died together in the water. A couple of hundred filled vehicles followed the hearses, which passed along Bide by side. Searchers for dead yesterday morning raised two little girls clasped tightly in each other's arms, as they had no doubt fallen together.

DESPOILING TEE DEAD.

Several cases of robbing the dead are reported. Among the articles missing is a gold watch and chain which Mr Wallman bad worn, and the gold necklace of a young lady. The " for hire " wagons were busily engaged, and, in some cases, to make money and count as much as possible, corpses were hurried into houses in an unceremonious manner, and the drivers hurried off for an other load. In one instance a driver brought a body to a certain number, and finding no person in and the door locked, pitched the body through the window and left it until the people came home. Up to 12 o'clock last night 68 interments took place in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 25 in St. Peter's Roman Catholic burying ground, 40 in Woodland Cemetery and 38 in the country. Two features in connection with the catastrophe are provoking no little comment. One of those is the rapacity of ;tbe cabmen, who took advantage of the ! number of funerals to make exorbitant charges for the use of their vehicles, and the other is the apathy of the Middlesex county officials and proprietor of the steamer in the matter of contributing for the re covery of bodies of victims. Telegrams proffering pecuniary aid have been received by the Mayor. Parties are still calling at police head quarters to look over the melancholy collec tion of personal effects recovered from the wreck, in the hope of being able to identify aotne articles to serve as mementoes of their loved ones who perished so miserably. THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT.

The Captain said the boat was a 19-ton mow, flat-bottomed, with a capacity of 400 passengers. Ho didn't think that he had over 450, and she was well stanchioned but not bwced. Had life-saving apparatus for 400/ The boat leaked, and the engineer said it had half an arm's length in the hold. The upper deck load were agreeable when asked to keep quiet, but on the lower deck there was a number of unmanly boys, who could not be restrained. The engineer, fire man, two deck hands, purser, and Captain, were the entire crew. Nobody asked him to run the boat ashore. Mr Parish, the manager of the company, says the boat was overloaded. He estimated the passengers at 500 or 600. The vessel cost $17,000. There was no insnrance except for lire. PAINFUL STATEMENr BY A PASSENGER.

E. G. Montgomery, a passenger, says the /boat was greatly overcrowded. The passen gers were quiet and orderly. There was no chasing around the boat, and there was considerable water on the main deck at the start, which accounts for her listing to one side. When the lurch came, the stanchions snapped like pipe-stems, and the whole wreck slid down to the port or shore side into the water, hanging only to the iron supports. He saw scores of men, women, and children being drowned like rats in a hole, and heard piteous shrieks on every side without the power of rendering any aids Mothers with eyes starting from their sockets would madly beat the water I while their children hung about their necks | shrieking, until at last, smothered by the water, they went down with a sickemug gurgle beneath the flood. The steamer's small boats and life-boats I w«re in good order, bnt the vessel capsized «o suddenly, and was smashed so quickly that there was not time to use them. Boats at once put out irom the shore, and the I crews of the few skiffs on the river made 3 haste to the spot and took off a large num ber. The Victoria was lying almost on her ' side, and. the people were clinging to the boat and the wreckage that floated from her. The men made desperate efforts to save their wives and children, but in the confusion it was a hard matter to recognize - a face, and the cries for help coming from ;:■'■; eyery side. Familiar voices could not be distinguished in the appalling uproar.

AFFAIRS IN IRELAND.

narrative of the Month's Trouble,

A FLYING COLUMN ORDERED

TO NEW PALLAS.

Dublis, May 20th.—Great excitement prevails at New Pallas. The flyiog column with two guns, left Limerick this morning to assist the Sheriff in making seizures for rent in the district. This is the first active service undertaken by one of the five flying columns at present organised in Ireland. ARREST OF FATHER SHEEBY. Dublin, May 20th.—The Government has taken a bold step in arresting a Catholic priest. This morning Rev. Father Sheehy, parish priest of Killmal lock, was taken in custody under the Coercion Act on the charge of " assem bling with others and unlawfully at tempting, by threats and menaces, to compel divers of her Majesty's subjects to quit their lawful employment by an act calculated to interfere with the mainten ance of law and order." Along with Father Sheehy were arres*ed Henry Gilbertson, auctioneer and farmer; John Collin3, farmer; and Michael McCarthy, farmer. All are members of the local Land League, not only ia the county of Limerick, but throughout the whole south of Ireland. Father Sheehy has taken a leadiug part in the Jand agitation. He was always a bold and popular leader. Father Sheehy and his fellow prisoners were conveyed at once to Noas Jail under a strong escort. A New York " Heruld " London cable special says : The arrest of Father Sheehy, of Killmallock, for inciting a Btrike among the peasant labourers employed on large estates in the county of Limerick, has created inteusc excitement throughout Ire land and among the Irish members of the House of Commons. It is the first arrest of an Irish priest for an offence of the kind since the old penal days. It U probable, however, that Father Sheehy's course will be condemned by his Bishop, Bishop Butler, of Limerick, being, it is said, as stiff an opponent of agrarian asritation as Dr. Moriarity of Vessey, was of Fenianism, and that Archbishop McCabe's repeated warn ings to the clergy will be supplemented be fore long by an authoritative declaration from the Vatican. England has no diplo matic relations with Kome, but the Catholic nobles of England and Cardinal Mauning, who are unalterably opposed to the Land Lengue, keep his Holiness well informed on Irish affairs, and always contrive to in fluence his utterances to the side of the British government. ARCHBISHOP CROKE TOO OUT. SPOKEN.

London, May 21st.—The passage in Archbishop Croke's speech at Ballingarry, in which he said he had done something for the people, and was ready to do and dare more, has attracted attention at Rome, and the Archbishop has been communicated with on the subject.

London, May 18.—Moran, solicitor and one of the most energetic members of the Limerick Land Leaguejhas been arrested. BKENNaNS SPEECH.

New York, May 24tb.—The following are the salient points in Brennan's speech in Ireland, for which he was arrested at Dublin yesterday :—•' We see now the landlords proving true to their past tradi tions, as enemies o£ the people, by the way in which they are showering notices of ejectment throughout the country. I ask you it such proceedings ever took place in any other country, say England? If 200,000 people in England were threatened with extermination from their homes, what do you think would be the result? [A voice-Revolution.] Mr Krennan—Yes, revolution. _ (Cheers.) The very ground would be stained with blood, and the English people would hurl from power any Government that attempted it. (Cheers.) Let us have no more nibbling with this question, but let every man in Ireland who pays rent, only pay reut when he is forced to do it. At the point of the bayonet. Let them bring their bailitts, sheriffs, and soldiers. These hired mer cenaries who are recruited from the slums of England and brought here to shoot down the Irish people. (Groans.) Allow rent only to be collected when they have put all their machinery in force. You should do this with regard to all writs for the re covery of rents and as for the recovery of possession and notices of ejectment. DUBLIN, May 25th. —The troubles in KillmaUoek district have been aggravated by the arrest of Father Eugene Sheehy. For two years past he has devoted himself to thwarting ejectments ordered by Mr Coote, agent of Sandor's and other estates in the neighbourhood. Of Coote the priest said at a recent meeting, " Why the man s Dame smells of blood;" (this was in reference to atrocities committed in the old days by forces under Sir Charles Coote), and, although lam as much opposed as any servant of the good cause can be to murder, 1 deem it no crime to resist the oppressions of which this man is guilty^ He then advised the peasantry in Coote s employment to quit work and let the sown crop 3 rot in the ground. Brennan has been one of the chiet ex ecutive officers of the league since its estab lishment, and has had special charge of the correspondence. He has spent a great deal ■of his time of late in Paris, where it is understood, the funds of the league are de posited. There are now over axty coercion prisoners in Kilmainham Jail. West Cork is also much disturbed, me landlords have lefc, and to meet their drafts from England, the agents are compelled to exact back "gales" or eject nonpaying tenants and work the holdings themselves. Troops have been sent from Mallow, Fermay and Cork, and the constabulary from Fermanagh and other Ulster counties. Kerry is comparatively quiet. In Mayo and Galway there have been no outrages of late, mainly for the reason that the agents have given up tryina to collect rents, and Uie landlords do not care to inflame the peasantry by ejectments.

AN ATTEMPTED EVICTION RE> SULTS IN A FKEE FIGHT.

London, May 27.—During evictions at Mitchelstown to-day, an immense o-ovd stoned the agent of the estate, and the police and soldiers charge the people several times, and many people and several soldiers were injured. Secretary Tullamore, of the Land League, was arrested for intinudatiug the Emergency Committee. . The " Gazette" proclaims six Baronies of Tipperary under the Protection Act, also one Barony to Donegnal. A process-server at FangosllD, County Leitrim, was foiled in an attempt to serve a process on s«ne of Lord AnnelUys tenants, by the threatening attitude of the PeAJi e'is quiet in County Limerick. The authorities have not yet intimated when they will renew the attempt to carry out the eviction at New Pallas and Kilmattock. A. rumour has reached Carrick, on the Shannon, County Leitrim, of a serious process-serving affray atGrevagh, ten miles distant, but the details are indefinite. Two men are said to have been mortally wounded. Eieht houses were burned by incendiaries iv County Cork, on Wednesday night. It is stated that the object was to get at one man, whose house was not known. Several persons were hurt in an affray over process-serving in Carrick, Ireland, yesterday.

Parnell announces cynjco^y to aui co W£tt^3toT He still relies on

the House of Lords to reject it, and studiously wastes time in order to give the leaders an excuse for postponing it till next year. Hence the reported resolve of the Government to meet the possible rejection of the bill in the House of Lords, not by a dissolution of Parliament, but by an autumn session. Strong influences are at work among more moderate Peers to induce a majority, to accept the measure. Irish disturbances meanwhile are increasing. Parnell, with characteristic impudence, on the one hand urges the tenants to refuse to pay rent, while on the other he demands that the Government shall suspend the landlords' legal right to enforce, which Gladstone peremptorily delines to do. A BAILIFF STRIPPED BY WOMEN AXD TARRED AND FEATHERED. Xew York, May 30.—A cable special to the "Herald" from Dublin of May 29th says:—A bailiff went to serve writs on property of Mr Hutchins, near Mallow, County Cork, on Satur day. Some women gathered round and seized him, destroyed the writs, and then stripped him naked and threw him into the river. They caught him as he came out and thrashed him with furze. The unfortunate man, more dead than alive, was then tarred and feathered, and hunted through the country. A party of police went out from Mallow to rescue him, but after scouring the country they were unable to find him. O'CONNOR POWER ATTACKS HIRED DEMAGOGUES. John O'Connor Power, replying to a letter from Egan to Brennan, wherein Egan abuses Power and McCoan for voting for the second reading of the Land bill, taunts Egan with skulking in Paris, and warns his countrymen that if they allow themselves to be goaded into unarmed insurrection by the screaming of hired demagogues, who have already Bhown the white feather, they will be abandoned and betrayed in the hour of trial. McCoan also taunts Egan with hiding in Paris, and hints that Egan's letter was inspired by others. The " Daily News" says that the Conservatives \ openly express hopes that the agitation will take such a form of rebellion as will compel the Go vernment to stamp the Irish into obedience by a Woody war. THE CLONMEL RIOT.-FIGHT BETWEEN THE HUSSARS AND THE MOB. New York, June I.—A cable to the " Herald' from Dublin of May 31st says: The most intense excitement prevails at Clonmel to-day where the sales of farms had been announced to take place. At an early hour in the morning several hundred well-mounted and disciplined horse men, wearing green sashes, preceded by bands, and followed by an immense procession of people, paraded the town. All the streets lead ing to the Courthouse were lined with police and military. All shops and business places were closed. The sales passed off quietly, and things went well until toward 6 o'clock, when a cry was raised that a local clergyman had been arrested. A shout went forth to rescue the priest. A rush was at once made on tho police, but was repelled. The Riot Act was then read, and the hussars charged and re charged the mob, who hurled volley after volley of stones at the military, inflicting upon many of them seriously injuries. Several policemen and civilians were also severely injured. The in juries in the case of one or two of the constabu lary will, it is feared, prove fatal. The people afterwards gathered in the lower end of the town, where they were addressed by representa tives of the League. No arrests had been made up to this evening. CONDITION OF THE DISTURBED DIS TRICTS. A Dublin special says: It is a notorious faot that all the recent disturbances have been raised in the agricultural districts whore the farmers ara welToff. To speak of these people as objects of compassion, as down-trodden, rack-rented victims of the landlords' cruelty, is untrue. THE GOVERNMENT MEASURES. London, May 31.—The "Times" says: It is understood that the Government has under serious consideration, at the instance of the Irish executive, tho complete suppression of the Land League. Dillon has written a long letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons, dated Kilmainham jail, May 29th, complaining of his detention and repudiating the accuracy of the remarks attributed to him in a recent speech of the Chief Secretary Forster. The letter will bo laid before tho House to-day. At a meeting last night of members of Par liament and others belonging to the Land League it was decided, in the event of tho suppression of the League, to transfer the duties in Ireland to the Ladies' Land League, and if that was interfered with to conduct tho organization through a committee sitting at Holvhead.

Archbishop Croke's Campaign.— A Strong Speech.

Dublin, Juno 2.—Archbishop Croke, at Thuries, yesterday, concluded a most extra ordinary ecclesisastical campaign. He made an appeal to Gladstone to stop further evictions. Eviction had a peculiar meaning in Ireland. It meant tha depopulation of the country; the de gradation of flying to foreign lands, carrying a spirit of vengeance against the greatest Empire in tho world, which nas treated Ireland worse than ever Empire treated dependency. He would therefore say to Gladstone, •' If you value the friendship of Ireland; if you value the good name of England; if you value the lives of our people ; if you do not wish to perpetuate the national feud'and the sanguinary traditions that have ruled in this country for ages, blot out from the statute book the name of eviction, and let no man henceforth be turned out from his land unless it is quite clear that the money which Bhould have met his engagements was waste fully and foolishly dissipated, i It was only tho other day that a venerable parish priest of Maycarkey told me that when he became priest to that parish it contained 1,200 families. There are at present only 400. Let me ask, Mr Glad stone, what has become of the 800 families, one 3 happy in their humblo homes, who have disappeared from the parish? They have gone into tle grave, many into the work-house, and many to the Great Republic of the west, bearing with them an undying hatred to the country that banished them from their native land. At the same time, if evictions are to go on, I would advise you how to act. Do not bring yourselves into collision with the authorities. They are too strong for you. If not even for the sake of expediency, if not of principle, we must act on the defensive. We must offer passive resistance to those'opposed to us, and in that way they will get tired of the contest, because a whole united peoplo have never yet been defeated. In the evening his Grace entefed fully into tho present position and aims of the Land League. He declared that agitation was not due to Davitt, nor to Parnell, nor to their fol lowers, but to the fact that there was a mighty grievance, and that the Irish people at last con templated jt manfully, and were determined to remove it. without the priesthood of Ireland, it would have been impossible, said his Grape, for the movement to hayo reached its present mighty dimensions. Tho Archbishop declared authoritatively l

"WE MUST PBOOLAIM

At all events, our wants, and claim that we will not be satisfied until we enlist on our behalf, not the swords, nor tho guns, nor tho cannon of France, Spain, Italy, or the United States, but the intelligent opinion of all the intelligent nations of the world. This is not a revolution ary movement, nor is it an irreligious move? meat, but it is conducted by the most religious people in the world, and backed by the best, most holy, most sacrificing, most faithful, and most uncompromising priesthood in the world. It is not an unjust movement, calculated or designed to do|injury to'anybody. We repudiate that charge t we say that we do not intend to do injury to any mortal man. We reoognize the rights of the owner of the soil, and we recognize our own rights at the same time; and while we give to Ciesar the things that aro Cajsar's, we will assert for ourselves the things that are ours. Waat we want is, a chance for our lives in our own country, and we will forget the past. We will forget the numberless tyrannies of England, all the tears we have shed, the mas sacres that have been committed, the extermi nation of our race, and the downfall, so far as it was possible for them to accomplish it, of our dear country, and we will begin a new score with the dominant country, We will let them see that we are not only able to flourish abroad, but that in our land we cannot be suppressed. I hear of disagreements among the leaders of the people, but these things are exeggerated. Our phalanx is unbroken, pur spirit is unsubdued, and tho result is. therefore, as clear as day— We must succeed,"

ANOTHER FATAL RIOT,

Dublin, June 2.—There was a riot at Bodyko, County Clare, to-day. Eighty police assisted the Sheriff at the evictions. As tne police were nearirig a house afire was opened upon them from behind fences. The police advanced in skirmishing order, and returned the fire. The house was found to be occupied by armed men. The police smashed in the front door, and after a severe encounter dispersed the occupants and took possession, Thirty prisoners were cap tured. When the police were retiring with the prisoners they were again attacked, and some men wounded. One farmer was killed by a blow with tho butt end of a gun. Several civi lians were severely injured. The police arrested sixteen riotere at Bodyke. AU were armed with rifles, which were taken from them, and they were then allowed to go on bail. The son of Lord Dunsande has been Bhot andwoundea. A flying column of engineers of artillery, In f antry and cavalry left Dubiin for New Pallas to assist in the execution of eviction decrees. The engineers will repair the bridges broken down by the populace to prevent tho passage of artillery. An expedition to New Pallas is also dispatched to capture a castle held by Land Leaguers. The facts in the Goshawk affair are that the people prevented the police from landing, and the Goshawk subsequently attempted to land them, but without success.

SERVING EVICTIONS.

On the estate of Captain Maxwell Fox, near Tujlamore, a large crowd assembled, and stones were thrown at the police. In each case the doors were removed from the houses, and the entrances were blocked up with Btones, but these were removed, and the processes were Sosted in conspicuous parts of the tenements. >ne hundred poiico and two troopers of the Thirty-seventh left Kilkenny for Clomaten to make seizures, Even cars of private gentlemen were forcibly seized for the conyeyance of the military. The police were accommodated with ambulances and wagons. Notwithstanding the threatened fjne of twenty pounds, several par owners placed their horses out pf reach. Con sequently, some of the military fiad (o walk 15 miles to the scene of action. To-night the flying columns left the King's bridge terminus in a special train at ten o'clock. The column consists of engineers, artillery, infantry and cavalry—in all, three hundred men. A resident magistrate, well acquainted with the country, will accom: pany the expedition, its destination being New Pallas. Tfte resident magistrate received his instructions personally from Mr. Forster. The column, on their arrival at New Papas, wiU proceed to " Quintan's Castle," when carriage will be resumed, and the stronghold taken if neoesaarj-,

SERIOUS RIOTS AT MITCHELLSTOWN. New York, May 28th.—The " Herald's" special from Dublin says:—At Mitohellstown, County Cork, a serious affray occurred yesterday (May 27th) in consequence of an attempt of the Sheriff of that county to evict five tenants on an estate of the Countess of Kingston. The Sheriff was assisted by twenty-five policemen and by the military, including a troop of dragoons, but the resistance of the people was so determined that the work was only partly accomplished. The chapel bell at Mitohellstown began ringing at 9 o'clock in the morning to warn the country people that the evictions were about to begin. The news spread rapidly, and the chapel bells for ten miles around took up the refrain, calling the population to assemble. The police attempted to atop the bells ringing, but did not succeed. Ten thousand persons assembled in less than an hour. A large number gathered around the police and military. While the first eviction was proceeding, eggs, stones, and other missies were thrown at the Sheriff and his assistants. Three evictions were carried out, but to execute the next two it was necessary to tiass through the town. Three bands of music, and organized bodies carrying banners, had now arrived, and the strains of "The martial tread of Clare's Dragoons" encouraged people to resistance. They obstructed the streets, and sent showers of stones into the midst of the con- Btabulary. Then the cavalry charged and drove tnemback,buttheyonly returned in greaterforce and With new daring. While passing a yard,

behind which a large number of rioters were concealed, a heavy volley of stones was de lirered. One of the cavalry horses was killed. The police charged through the yard and dis persed the assailants at the point of the bayonet. One man's jaw wa3 cut open. Twelve soldiers were struck, and many of the police were also injured. The Riot Act was read-without effect, and in consequence of resistance it was decided not to proceed further with the work of eviction. The excitement lasted till late into the night, but there was no further disturbance. Mr Easton, a magistrate, was struck by a stone, and had it not been for the efforts of the local clergy, the results of the riot would have been most disas trous.

On Saturday morning the head of the dra ecjpn'a horse, which was killed in the fight at intchellstown on Friday, was cut off and fixed on top of a pole. The pole was decorated with green paper, and crape streamers were appended to the head, and in the horse's mouth was placed a piece of paper bearing the following words :— " Here's your rent." The "Herald" correspon dent saw thia ghastly spectacle early on Satur day morning. It was then surrounded by a crowd of women and children, who responded to the call of an old fellow for " three cheers for the English head on an Irish stick." The head, with its appendages, was taken possession of by the police and brought to the barracks. Elaborate preparations are being made to renew the attempt to carry out the New Pallas evictions this week, bat on what day is not kaown, as the authorities keep all dates of their movements strictly secret. Cork, May 30.—About forty persons were in jured in the riot at MitcheUstown on Friday last. Complete order has been restored.

GERMANY.

Bismarck has submitted to the Reichstag a memorial based on reports of the German Minister* at Pekin and the Australian Con sul, recommending the adoption of measures for maintaining and extending German trade to Eastern Asia, Australia, and South Sea Islands. The memorial complains that Germany was outstripped in these regions by England, France, and America. It pro poses the establishment [of commission houses for the export trade, a bank to facilitate remittances, and a line of steamers to places named under Govern ment subsidy.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MARY GALVIN.

An inquest was held tbis afternoon at Gleeson's Hotel on the body of Mary Galvin, an elderly woman, which was found floating on the water on Friday last near to the Bastion, before Dr. Philson, coroner, and a jury ot twelve. Mr John Blackman foreman. Sergeant Martin represented the police. John Quinn, labourer, Pukekohe, deposed that he saw a notice of Mrs Galvin's death in the Evening Star on Saturday, the 25th mst. On Sunday evening he received a telegram to attend the inquest to-day from his sister-in-law, and identify the body. Had seen the body in the dead-house, and leeognised it as that of Mary Galvin, his wife's mother. Had no doubt but it was tho body of his mother-in-law. Had not .seen her since Christmas last. She for merly lived in Howick, but latterly had been living in Auckland; could not say where. Was not on bad terms with her. She had no relatives in Auckland. She was given to drink. Was a widow. She was about 50.

Sergeant Henry Martin, of the Water Police, deposed that he knew deceased, who was frequently at the station for drun kenness. Could not remember when he last saw her. Was under the impression that she lived at Onehunga or Howick. She w»3 in town on Monday last. She had been committed to the Stockade recently for intemperance. First heard of her death on the 20lh iost., about4o'clock. Mr Biddick, a settler at Kohimarama, brought the infor mation that a woman was found at the Bastion, very near tile shore. He was unable to identify the body. He went immediately to the spot and found the body on the beach drawn up above high-water mark. It was in a good state of preserva tion. She could not, he should think, have been dead more than a day or 80. Observed a very slight scratch on the fore head, No signs of violence. No ligatures round the neck. Body fairly clothed. Hud a bonnet on. Bemoved the body to the deadbouse. Found a pawn ticket for a dress in her pocket from Mr Hart's, Victoria street.

The jury returned a verdict, " Found Drowned."

AUCKLAND STUD COMPANY.

The annual meeting of the members of the above named Company took place this afternoon. The Secretary (Mr Pereiyal) submitted the second annual report and balance sheet. The report set out by con gratulating the shareholders on the very successful results attained and the extreme ly satisfactory nature of the balance sheet. It thence proceeded as follows :-" The affairs of the Company are in a thorougly healthy condition and the success attending its efforts has far exceeded the most sanguine expectation of its promoters. It is clearly demonstrated that with energy, prudent management and the judicious selection^ of stock, institutions of this na ture, besides proving great acquisitions to the country in supplying stock of the very first quality, can also be made to pay, and afford a safe and remunerative investment for capital. Your directors have, during the year, been enabled to add to the stud several of the best bred mares procurable in England, giving, in their selection, the greatest attention to soundness of pedigree, combined with the stoutest and fleetest strains; and in this they have to acknow ledge the most valuable assistance given them by Sir Hercules Robinson and Lord Falmouth. ..... The Company's Clydesdales are all in flourishing condition ; the champion stallion Elgin has grown into a magnificent animal, and his progeny, now six mpnths old, have placed him so high in the public favour that the coming season promises a large return for his services. During the view commodious and substantial buildings and offices have been erected on the estate. In view of the expenditure incurred, and the necessity of larger accommodation, your directors have deemed it prudent to cancel the lease, aud purchase the Glen Orchard estate, which they have done on the most favourable terms. The report concluded with a list of sales of its young stock, The balance sheet showed that the year's operations had produced a net profit of £4,604 15s, which, with the profit of thj; preceding year (vjz., £1,353 18s 9d), make a total profit of £5,958 to credit. The manager's report, which was also read, stated that the Com pany's stock consisted of 30 blood stock (viz., 3 entires, 17 mares, and 10 young < stock), and 29 Clydesdales (viz., 2 entires, j 12 mares, and 15 young stock), or 59 animals in all. The reports and balance sheet were adopted, and ordered to be printed. Messrs J. M. Clark, T. Morrin, and Major Walmesley were reflected directors, and Mr J. Way mouth re-appointed auditor, while votes of thanks were paid to Major Walmeslcy (Manager), Mr T. Morrin, and Mr Per cival (Secretary). Upon the motion of Mr J. M. Clark a dividend at the rate of 12| per cent, was declared, and the share holders present agreed to take up the un? allotted shares, at 20 per cent above par.
