O. WHEREAS, the ship Ontario oC Wiscassen, , JOHN G. BARsTow muster, having sailed from the port of Boston for Mobile, on the Slh of Dec last on ihe 1th encountered severe hurricane, during the continuance of which she in verv short lime be- came an unnanageabe wreck, having lost all her masts except her iore,nasi all her spars and mosi of her sails and rigging, besides having received consd- erabe damage to her hull, decks and cabin rom the falling of her spars, and coming m collision with the British brig Eliza, dismasled in the same gale and afterwards abandoned. ,f
 And whereas, ihe master of said ship rather than put into a port of distress. where heavy expenses would have been incurred by the underwriters of lhe vessel and cargo continued in the prescott ion of his voyage under such temporary nas,s aud sails as he could rig out of the wreck oi the ship, and arrived sa, l into polt on the End nst after having been 22 days under jury masts.
 Be il therefore resolved, That tle Master and Warflens this port, believing that they would be unmndfu of their duty. did they not pay ust tril- ute 10 'he skill and seamansp displayed by Captain Barslow in tringng the vessel safely into port after being eit by the hurricane in such crippled condi-
 on, and in the energy and business ability exercis- ed by him, towards getting her repaired and ,efted with unusual despach and at very moderate expense, we take great pleasure in recommending him to the Favorable consideration of the owners and underwr- iers of sa i'd vessel
 Resolved, That this Preamble and Resolutions be spread upon the records of this Board and that the Secretary be instructed oiurnish Capt Barstow wnh copy of the same, signed by the Master and War dens. JOHN FOWLER, Harbou, Muster.

We published some weeks ago lhe account of the bonbardmenl by the Br tish of Africa, in Peru. lat, Liverpool paper gives the following version of the affair:
 vessel from South America, bound To Liverpool. has pu' into the Cove of Cork, where she is detan ed by the prevailing easterly winds. Letters have been forwarded on To the owners here, that An outrage had been committed on the British Consul resident at Arica, and that i,e authorities of tie town were the artles the outrage is me toned us being oi the grossest description. The British squdron engaged in lhe blockade of I,lay had iotor nation oi ihe outrage communicated by Mir W;lsoo the insul,ed consul, and her Mnes,y,s sbi, Talbn, imuedaes despatched To A,ca. i, ia sad that water refused lhis vessel. Our p.r,.;a, Minister, MT. Adams, happened to be on board ,h. Talbot and considered the circumstances of ,he c,
 fragrant as 10 demand an immediate aponr'' winch required in lhe of the British (;osS' ernnent by the commander of the Talbot. The apo. logy being refused, the Talbot opened fire on the Go- vernors residence; several shells were thrown in, and this was represented being only a beginning and thai the town would be bomli ded. This prom, mole oi draling broug lhe authorities to better be- hagior-tn ample apology given, and tranquilli- ty at once restored. It Is not mentioned whether my persons were killed by the shells thrown from he Talbot. Ali the English residents at Africa were well looked alter and taken on board ssevious 10 opening he fire; but when matters wese settled ,hey went on shore again.

DEATH ON THE PALE HoRsE .-Wesi's great painting, dennminaled as above, is being ex hbited for this week only) al the Second Methodist Church.

The Albany Evening Journal. in no.icing it, says:
 "l'he Wginal paia,ing of the Iamented American artist benjamn West. aDc..,2 tie Pale Hoise,' Is now being exhibited al the first Presbyterian Cbuch of this city This celebrated work is so well known throughou, the country, render leuglhy notice ol il from supeifuous iabor The subject is the well known vision of ISL John, in lhe Revela- tions. IL was painted by Mir. West in 1900; was hi ct exhibited in Lond6n, and was afterwards ex- hIbited m Paris in 1902. MT. West took copy from his own picture, much larger than this one, which was purchased by the Pennsy ylsania Academy ol Fine Arts at Phade lpbia, where il is now exhi- biting. Many persons think this original picture the pest Of the two Tn respects The expression in the counienance of Death was never exceled by any artist of mortal mould It combines the ghasily countenance of n corpse taken from the grave, with the most undyng and remorseless hatred; and there IS m II an iron hardness of oexpression, denotng that ihere IS no heart no sympathy, no kindness, no feel ing m the grisly monster. The other figures are, good. There are forty figures in the cansAss.
