holders of the Bank of British North America, the
report submitted for adoption stated that since the
previous meeting the prolonged stringency in the
money market of Europe had exercised paramount
influence in the banking and commercial world, the
direct affect of which upon that portion of
the bank's capital Rhich had been employed
in London, had been favourable, but it had, at
the same time, injuriously affected the commer-

VALUABLE SALVAGE PRIZES.—Two valuable sal•
yoke prizes were reported yesterday—the derelict
bark England, towed into Milford, end the derelict schooner
Boadicea, taken into Scilly. The England belonged to
Newcastle, and was abandoned on the Atlantic while on her
passage from Quebec to Sunderland with a cargo of timber,
the crew being taken off by the Cunard steamer Canada,
and landed here. Various vessels had subsequently fallen
in with her ; among them the Victoria Cross and the steamer
Clara, which, it will be remembered, made an unsuccessful
attempt to take her in tow. Some more fortunate vessel
had fallen in with her, for she was safely towed into Mil-
ford yesterday, but the name of the salvor is not given. The
Boadicea was from Labrador for this port, with a cargo of
fish and oil, and was abandoned to the westward of the
Lizard, with loss of rudder, where she was picked up by a
pilot cutter and taken into Scilly.--Liverpool Courier,
THE SraINGBOK.— The New York Herald of the
17th Nov., contains the following admission of the
illegality of the seizure and condemnation of the British
barque Springbok by the New York District Court:—
"There are under currents in Europe of considerable im-
portance in relation to the decisions of the United States
Supreme Court on some ',important cases which involve
great principles of international law. . . A text case is to

be made of the Springbok, and the Ministers of France and
Great Britain at Washington ale instructed to protest in
the name of their Governments, against the condemnation
of that vessel, provided the Supreme Court sustains
the decision of Judge Bette, instead of releasing her and
her cargo. The Springbok was captured on her way from
Liverpool (sic In or& , should be London) to Nassau, two
British ports, and without a scrap of actual evidence, but
on mere vague snapieion, that the vessel bad any destina-
tion except Nassau. She undoubtedly was going no fur-
ther, but what might have been done with her cargo after
landing there is, oi course, problematical. Among other
high authorities the owners rely on Judge Kent, who says,
'Neutral property passing from neutral port to neutral poi t
is tree from seizure and condemnation, no matter how much
adapted it may be :o the use of belligerents, and both vesse
and cargo are free from meat until they start upon a voy
age to the enemy."'
