The passengers on board the United

as.the ship was approaching the coast of
England, had a meeting, aud S. G. Good
rich of New York was called to The
chair, and John OBrien, John S. Cum

unanimously, and are published in the
Liverpool papers.
The clipper ship Typhoon, 1000 tons
register. has been taken into the CLAIR
ence Dock, Liverpool, to be coppered.
She has attracted much attention from
the English people, from her remarkable
sharpness, thlnness Of stern, depth of
keel, curious lines below the water, and
altogether the novelty OF her general
character. They say, mid ships her
form is like an inflated balloon, and fore
and aft, it seems as though the globular
form of the balloon had been drawn GU
into sharp lines. There is much Of the
american type in this ship, especially in
the form Of her stern but, at the same
time, there is a difference. iIer rig
differs from the American fash on.
At Liverpool, or Monday afternoon,
18th ult., about two o'clock, a fire broke
out in an extensive cotton shed, situated
in Reacon street, near the Nelson Dock,
known as Hughes sheds, At the time
the flames burst out, a number of men
were at work within the shed. The
flames very soon gained a irightful as
cendancy, and before any effective check
could ne put to their fury, little short Of
EDO, 900 worth of cotton had been de-
slroyed. The buildings are outwardly
fre-proof, and comprise three roomy
sheds, one Of which, with the contents,
was destroyed, and the others very much
injured.
The High Sheriff Of Suffolk is in a
pitiful dilemma. lie has orders to exc

and no substitute has yet been found.
The llome.oflice has been appealed to
to postpone the execution, but in vain.
Meantime the Sheriff is in a state of alb
solute distraction.
lRELAND.-The state Of landed prop>
erty in, Ireland is every day exhibited by
the working of the commission on en-
numbered estates, exhibiting the fright
ful system, continued through successive
generations, to which the ruin of SO
many of the landed proprietors in that
country is attributable. For instance

ed in the Encountered Court was one for
the sale of a valuable estate in the West
ern province, which became the subject
OF litigation in an equity court forty
seven years ago. In 1904 a bill was
filed in the Court of E%xchequer against
the inhefltor, and the suit has continued
ever since. Last year, when the equity
jurisdiction of the Exchequer was abol>
ished by act Of Parliament, this suit of
nearly half a century was transferred 10
the Court Of Chancery. and now the
duty Of winding up in a summary
an inexpensive manner has devolved upon
the Commissioners Of the encountered
court. The landlord who, had. been in
possession at the commencement If the
suit died some years after the filing of
the bill subsequently,, as the litigation
continued, his children died off, and then
n collateral suit arose to decide the pre-
tensions OF rival claimants To a property
which has been eaten up.by the lawyers,
and which has yielded nothing 10 any
one else. 1t appears. by the voluminous
petitions filed in this cause, that several
solicitors who had been engaged in the
suit died during its progress, aud the so-
licitor nov entrusted with the carriage
of the sale is the only survivor out Of all
the legal persons concerned. II is
scarcely necessary TO add that the en-
cumbrances which have accumulated
during so many years far exceed any
amount likely to be realized by the sale
of the estate.
