through the operations of the Quarantine
smuggler sloop Four Brothers, about eight
thousand dollars week. This, for period
ofseyen months, amounted nearly quarter
OF million OF dollars. San Francisco ad-
vices of April Goth state that the proposed
change of officials of the branch mint in that
city creates the greatest indignation in the
business community. Nearly all the princi-
pal bankers and business men have united in
telegrsphing to Washington, protesting
against any removal Of the present efficient
officers. The storm of last week did much
damage in the Northern and Eastern States
The culyert Of the Vermont Central Railroad
at Haftland was washed away. and an express
train ran into the opening, injuring the en-
gineer, fireman and several other persons.
Throughout Canada immense damage was
done. The st. Lawrence river rose to forty
two feet. The lower part of Griffintown was
flooded, cellers and houses were filled with
water, and number of persons narrowly
escaped from drowning. Late London pa
pers say that the Cubans will never willing
ly annex themselves to the United States,
and that General Grant wants foreign
war and that he is mad on Cuban affairs
France and England, it is declared, will de-
clare war if the United States attempts to
reize Cuba. In the Kimberly Butler case
Chief Justice Chase decided that the Consti-
tuition does not shield members of Congress
from aprocess of summons in civil suit, but
the word ARREST" merely means forcible de-
tention with view to Imprisonment. Dis
heartening accounts are given of the cotton
trade at Blackburn, England. Nine mills,
including several of the largest, are entirely
stopped, and others are running on short
time. 1t is stated that the Poor Law Off
GERS are overburdened with applications for
relief, and that the appointment of assistant
relieving officers will be necessary. The
masters generally insist upon the adoption of
the wheel system and the men are equally
determined to resist it, This step will great
lyextend the dimensions of the struggle, and
from 5000 to 1000 weavers, in addition to
those previously out, will be added to the
large number idle.

FATAL AccIDENT.-On Thursday of last
week an accident occurred near Aberdeen,
In this county, by which man named Ben
iamin Shears lost his life On the day in ques-
ton, Shears was engaged in cleaning out
well for Mr.. George Harris, and had worked
until about 81 O'Clock, in the afternoon, when
the walls and earth cavei in upon him for
space of twenty feet. The alarm was imme-
diately given, and an effort made to rescue
him. After digging short time, the unfor-
tunate man was heard groaning, but owing
to the danger of the earth caving in again.
the work wasprosecuted with caution. The
groans were plainly heard until about 8
o'clock in the evening, after which time
they ceased, and 1t is thought that his death
then took place.. The efforts to release him
from his living grave were continued, how
ever, for some time after the groans ceased,
when operations were suspended on account
of the supposed danger of "a fresh caying in
of the earth. Early Friday morning Mr..
William Oldfeld was sent for, who, regard
less of danger, descended into the well, and
in short time removed the debris resting
on Mr.. Shears and succeeded in getting him
out, but life was found to be extinct 1t ap-
pears that he was in a STOPPING position
when the walls began to cave in, his mouth
having been pressed against a stone in such
a manner as to permit of his breathing, but
preventing the articulation Of words. His
shovel was found across the well, over his
head, and no doubt served to keep the stones
and earth from pressing against him very
closely. The deceased leaves wife and sew
eral children in destitute circumstances A
subscription was started by Mr.. Oldf eld, and
upwards of 800 raised for them
We have received communication from
a correspondent at Aberdeen, giving the de-
tails of this lameDtable occurrence, but not
being able to publish it, for want of room,
we give the above, from our correspondents
letter and from the accounts of witnesses.

that of getting reliable lists of the removals
this is more difficult than was anticipated but
the Government would endeavor to have this
difficulty overcome.
y The End member for Frederiksted's country
district (Knight) observed, that certain it is
that a misunderstanding existed regarding the
application of the amounts to be repaid. The
intention Of his Interpolation had principally
been, to be Informed why the refunding accord
ing to the ordinance had not been carried out.
In case the fund receives the repayment it will
be the better enabled to support immigration
in future, reports from Barbados afording pros
poets Of getting immigrants from there. He
was happy to learn His Excellency's views on
the matter, and hoped that the rules would be

2, The 1st discussion of a proposal for an extra
money bill to the Budget for the Municipali-
ty of 81. Croix from the 1st April 1868 to
the 31st March 1869, contents as follows:
Money Bill In addition to the expense
under the Item of the Bdget D. IL, the Poor
Department, the following amounts are hereby
granted
For support in money to paupers, besides the
amount of $4.450 previously granted, an adj
Qltl0nal sum ...S 30.
For expenses for burying paupers, be-
sides the amount of 1915 previously
granted, an additional amount off,. 112.
$177."
The Governor referred to the remarks to the
proposal and the calculations contained therein,
and brought to mind, that under the discus
sion of the money bill D. IL, for the present
financial year on the proposed amount being
reduced, it was pre-. supposed, that an extra
money bill would be required.
No member demanding the word, the case
was referred to the End discussion, the Chair
man calling on the members to send in amend
ments within 8 days.
3, Election of a member of the Council, instead
