THE Boston Traveller, in its announcement
of the result OF the fourth councillor district
convention, says "thc issue was tunnel and
anti-munel, Mr. Hitchcock being in favor Of
that enterprise The inference from this
statement OF the case would be that those who
supported tile other leading candidate were
opposed to that enterprise, which would be
a great mistake. There did seem to be
difference Of opinion as to the propriety OF
making the interests Of a railroad an issue in
an election while the country is at war, and
the state of Massachusetts is burdened by the
demands which The war makes upon her, as
she has seldom been before. The friends Of
the present councillor, and some of those who
supported DR.. Hitchcock to be sure, went
very far into the tunnel but those who kept
out OF it did so from a much worthier motive
than opposition to the enterprise.

ANOTHER SERIOUS CALAMITY.-70taL Loss
of the Quebec and Liverpool Steamship
Canadian, soith Twenty or Thirty Lirss.
The telegraph annouaced, last Saturday, the
sh;pwreok on an iceberg, of the Quebec and
Liverpool steamer Canadian, but failed to
state particulars. A dispatch from st. Johns
to the New York papers states:
From twenty to thirty lives were lost, in
cluding six cabin passengers; but as the
ships papers went d yn in the sinking ship,
it is as yet impossible to tell the exact nnum-
Der drowned
A portion Of the mails was saved. Among
thesc drowned we're the mail officer and the
second officer Of the steamer.
The Canadian struck the ice under her
foremast, and her three compartments were
all broken in at once. Whereupon she filled
rapidly, and soon went down. The ic,' field
did not attract much attention when frst
discovered, as it licked small, and was
scarcely above water. The steamer was 60
ing at slow speed at the time she struck.
The Canadian had forty-nine cabin and
seventy lone steerage passengers, which, viii
her crow of about eighty, made nearly 200
souls on board.

of cunning which will readily be detected, that
"the money has been wisely invested in Con
