THE LON 07 THE CANADIAN.

This inquiry wee resumed yesterday, before
Mr. T. B. ReSee, elipsadlery masistrate, sad Capt. Harris,
The 4th Airier (Thomas Beikewell) was the Mt wit-
ness examined. He stated that though he saw the blcok of
Ica which must have struck the yawl, be felt no shock.
The ice gassed alongside, and he walked sit to nee if the
screw was interfered with. It was set injured, but be
noticed small pieces el ice with white, and green, and black
paint upon them. He escaped an No. 5 boat, which con-
tained 25 people, but it wee too crowded tow Clifford's
lowering apparatus. During the whole crisis themes behaved
admirably. —Daniel Lloyd, one of the steerage stewards,
heard tho vessel strike when he au in the rieersge store-
room, and on one of the hatches being marled forward the
water was discovered rushing in. The captain gave orders
to clear the boats, and witaess seamed in Na 6, which
eantsimied 72 adults and one &lid, 13 being women. No. 8
boat Oho one that was lost) was being lowered at the time
that Ne. 6 was in the water, and the bostewain of No. 6
fearing that his boat would be swamped by No. 8, called
out to the MINI who were lowering the latter to " hold on"
until No. ti got clear. No. 6 was then swept astern, and when
wittier looked again No. 8 beat was banging (in a perpendi-
eider poation) from the bow feeble °sly. One man clung to
the after tackle, but the rest of the people who were in
the boat could not be seen, or were struggling in the water,
and afterwards absorbed by the sinking of the ship. The
boatswain of the Canadian (George Parker) also saw No. S
after No. 6 bad cleared. The boat was then full of
and the steru was four feet lower than the bow. pea
saw
ople,
no more until (after the rued had sunk) he saw the boat
bottom upwards, with one man clinging to the keel, and
holding up another who was in the water. Witness was an
old sailor, had often pissed through Hellcate when there
was more ice, and frequently earlier than the 4th June.
The chief engineer (John Alexander) described the vessel
coming in contact with • pies of very bard and green ice,
stated that the collision must have taken place when
the vessel's head was lifted by • sea, and was of opinion
that the propulsion of the ship against this mama of sharp
is canoed the ripping of her side to an extant which must
have admitted an immense quantity of water. Every
engineering and other means ponible was used to keep the
vessel afloat as long as possible. The men in the engineer-
lag department did not leave their posts until they wore
on deck and to the boats.
"Sara

Robert Nicol, the carpenter, was also examined.
Mr. W. Wallace, the company's superintending engineer,
said that the Canadian was built more strongly than other
al the company's ships, and was divided into five parlia-
mentary bulkheads classed as watertight compartments,
and coming up to the main decks. In addition, she had
four bunker bulkheads to the spar desk.
Mr. &manly was addressing the court on behalf of the
owners when our parcel left.

TER INTIINATIONAL EXHIBITION or 1862.—Ac
a proof of the interest taken in the forthcoming Exhibi•
tics by foreign couotrice, daily communications are received
be her Majesty's Comnsiesiooere, expressing the regret of
respective foreign oommiasions as to the very limited
span which will be afforded them for the display of their
Industry. An opinion has appeared to prevail that the
spans to be allotted would far exceed that of the Exhibition
of 1851, bat such is not the fact ; for although the present
building will exceed the dimeasioos of the former one, the
extra space so obtained will be devoted to paintings, hr.,
which found no place in the Exhibition of 1851. This re-
striction will still give as much space as in the building of
1851 foe the display of articles of industry. The countries
from which notificatious to the above sited have been re-
ceived swe Belgium, France, Hanover, liecklenburgh•Strelitz,
Prionia, Seamy, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Russia, and
Switairland. The building is progreenieg in a most satis-
factory manner.
Tat New ATTORNEY-GratiltAL AND HIS CONSTI-
TUINTL—Etir William Atherton, the newly-elected Attorney-
Osseral, has already inner' au address to his constituents in
the city of Durham. Again, and for the fifth time, he yen
tomato solicit the high honour of being returned to repre-
sent them in parliament. He is able, he says, now to appeal
to the experience of many years with reference, not only to
the profession of political faith which be lias made, but also
to the votes he has given, and the general course he has pur-
sued is the House of Commons. In his new office lie hopes
for an opportunity for greater usefuloese ; at the same time,
the load and special interests of Durham will continue to be
objects of his warm 'amitosis. Witham • very short nd.
