+! The Executive Committee of the Board Of
Trade OF Philadelphia hasadopted resolutions
tiu favor Of the restoration TO the American
marine of merchaht vessels which, during the
rebellion, and ia consequence Of the gayages
of AnElo-rebel prfyateers on the ocean,
changed their flags and were dcnatlonai!zed.
The same committee opposes the passage Of .
law to permit any foretgu-built ships to be
registered as American property, giving as a
reason that 1t would Iniure the ship-buildIng
Interest. The resolutions are conflicting. II
1t ia to the advantage Of our shlp-builders
that foreign, bailt vessels shall be prohibited
from taking out American registers, 1t will
bc equally for the benefit Of that interest
that American vessels sold to foreigners
shall not be permitted to assume the Rational-
'ity which they abandoned. Secretary a{cCul-
.loch Is Of a different opinion. He Is opposed
to the re-reeistratlon ofyessels which changed
their nationality during tbs war. He urges
that the laws already In force shall be strictly
;adhesed to- The parties who took out foreign
registers did 80 for two reasons. First, to es-
cape the high rates ofinsurance upon our own
vessels upon war risks, and second, to escape
the danger from Confederate priVateers. They

nlarkable Scenes Which Followed.
Tie Tinsts Of fatal-a journal published at

gsyts an Interesting account OF the famous
Bishop Colenso's arrival in lis diocese, and of
some remarkable scenes which followed. The
date Of The Times is Nov. %. From this &C.
cos,nt it appears that Ncssrs. Williams and
Dickinson, two leading churchuaen lu The do
cese waited upon the Bishop two days after
his arrival and handed In their protest against
his preaching In ths Cathedral. The Bishop
III reply affirmed his intention TO preach there,
as had been announced. A soon as the re-
cult Of the interview had been made known,
curiosity Fas aroused, It being quite well un~
derstood that the q Deans party" would VIC
lcntly oppose the Bishops intention. On Sat-
urday evening following, II was uncertain
What course the Bishops party would pursue,
but 1t became apparent that tia entrance Il
the Bishop would be Gorcibly denied, and -
friends made up their minds to appeal to The
laW. Accordingly. on Saturday night, Mr.
shepstonc, the Bishops registrar, applied to
the Chief Justice aud obtained m intcrdict,
restraining the Dean and church wardens
from locking the doors of the Cathedral on
Sunday, The document WIS served on
tue church wnrdens late Saturday night. On
Sunday morning large crowds gathered iu
front Of the Cathedrnl,, TO witness the
anticipated fight. During the night the Dean
had ordered the bell ropes to be taken from
the bells, but an adventurous friend Of the
Bishop climbed up TO one Of the bells, at

We trust Congress will pass The bill. re-
ported by Mr. Washburne. on Wednesday
last, from the Committee on Commerce, to
repeal tho fishing bounties. Probably many
Of our readers do not know wliat the fishing
bounties are. FHtythrce years ago Congress
passed a law which said in effect that any
person Who should catch cod hsh should te
entitled to receive not only the market price
ofthe fish, out certain sum Of money out OF
the National ITcaAnr5. That law continues
In force 10 the present time, except that the
bounty ~as Increased In lslS- The amount ot
the bounty Is three collars and half and four
dollars per registered ton Of the vessel em-
ploscd In the cod fisheries. The sum annually
taken from the treasury to pay the bounties
Is about half n million dollars The bounty
is not given to the whale fisheries, or thc lake
fisheries, but only to the cod and bank fisher

which arc shared about equally BY Maine and

by every tax payer In the United States

A sad, aud it is feared fatal accident, took
! place nj Winchester, on the Lowell Railroad,
yesterday afternoon, By the explosion Of one
of the locomotives belonging to that road. It
appears that the freight trim, drawn by the
Engine Essex, reached that plhce about half
|past two o'clock, and switched Oft upon
side track to set of 4 car. This was done.
and as the cnsine Was about to start the ttntn
;pgain The boiler exploded with loud report,
making a wreck Of the machine and sending
dDo1tfo1s of 1t In every direction.
At the time Of the explosion the 1ag man at
the crossing WAS at Ills post Of duty, and very
near the engine, ard be was struck by the Hy-
1ng missiles md very severely injured. He
WAS reported dead upon the arrival Of the
first news Of the disaster In this city, but We

broken. = -
