The Liverpool Mercury has the followmg:-
1--WE have received a report-through the
Kindness of Captain Gyles, OF the brig Hannibal
of st. Ives, which has just arrived in Liverpool
from Ceara-whch tends to confirm Captain
Munros belief that the missing boat mas oeen
picked up, and that her passengers have been
saved. The report is necessarily meagre, and
further details will he anXiousy awaited
Captain Gyles reports that while on the home
ward voyage, IN long. 1925 W., lat. 1850 N, he
spoke the Bremen bark America, bound to New
York. The weather was very stormy at the
time and IL was with difficulty any com munica-
ton could be kept up between those on board
the two vessels. Captain Gyes understood those
in the America to say that they had got on board
80 of the crew of the Hibernla, bound tor Quebec.
Captain Gyles, in consequence OF the shortness
of provisions and want of accommodation
vessel being a small one-could not take the
whole of the castaWays on board his vessel.
He offered, however to take fourteen OF them,
but as he could not take them all, they pre-
ferred staying together, and proceeding in the
America to New York. Captain Gyles was re-
quested TO report what had occurred on his
arrival at Liverpool, and the vessels then parted
company. Another report has reached US of
this affair, and, although it differs in some
particulars from Captain GYles' statement, the
facts are the same: THE brig Hannibal, of st.
Ives, from Ceara, has just arrived here, and it
was stated that about fortnight ago (Decem-
Der %, the position not yet ascertained)
she spoke the barque Ocean Spray bound to
that they had on board 80 of the passengers and
crew Of the Inflated steamer Hibernia. From
the scanty information obtained as yet, it is
probable that the Ocean Spray would run for
Madeira and land the shipwrecked persons"
How the Disaster occurred.
From the London Times, Jan. IL.
The Court of Inquiry into the loss of the
: Hibernia gave judgment on Monday, The
Court was of opinion that Captain Moore could
not be held ponsible for the loss of the ship,
the accident having occurred in the engine
department. 1t had no reason TO doubt that the
Hibernia was a strong and faithfully built ship,
that her structure and the machinery of her
engine department were sufficient, and that the
diameter of the snatt was in proportion to the
size of the engines. The Court went on to
refer to the drawing OF the shaft and
said there would have been no danger
in this operation, even when it was seen that
the shaft was broken, if the stuiling-boX on the
bulkhead had been intact. The evidence went
to show that the water tight bulkhead had
been lnterfered with, and that one manhole
door had not been properly secured. Further.
the Court had great reason to doubt that there
was any damage sustained by the sternplates OF
the vessel. While any hope remained of the
engineers being saved, the Court deferred pro-
nouncirg judgment on any alleged errors of
commission or omission, and were of opinion
that the inquiry should be deemed to be open.
The Court would therefore make an ad interim
report TO the Board of Trade.

night 1t was known that the new Mayor (Mr.
O'Sullvan) would visit the theatre, and either by
concert or accident-most probably the former
the boxes and pit were filed with gentlemen
of the class known as "strong Protestants.n The
Christmas pantomime Is still the chief attraction
OF the house, and through this piece are scat
tered some covert alluslous to local topicS-the
elections, the city mempers, the Mayor and Mrs.
Scannel. Most of the ''hits,' which are by no
means palpable ones, are made decidedly ma
tional, to catch the ears OF the gallery; but the
author is pretty impartial, all things
considered, and says a good word or
two for the Tories also. On Friday
night every one Of the sentiments having the
faintest national tinge was loudly hissed by the
occupants of the boxes and pit. The allusiou to
the city members was received with marked
disfavor, and the Mayors name provoked
storm on cOntemptuous sounds. Mr. 0SulliVan
bore it all until there came passage in which
the patriotic Mrs. SCannell is applauded for her
behavior in the court house at the city nomna-
ton. The expression occurs, Down with the
tories, down with the Orangemen.h The Mayor
took mp this sentiment, observing, ''That5 right;
down with the 0rangemen.n The gentlemen in
the boxes rose and yelled, "Tucn him out" aud

scared faces to beg OF his worship TO be quiet but
he refused to be pacided; and seeing young gen.
teman particularly demonstratiVe, made an
attempt TO get over to him for the purpose, IL

ment. The pit seeing something wrong above
them, and only half aware of the cause, added
their voices 10 the uproar; and the gallery,
which could only dimly perceive that theIe was
a row among their betters, but quite ignorant of
the cause, yelled and screamed in a frantic way.
Had the gallery known what WAS going on, and
that an attack was being made on the Mayor,
who is a popular idol just now, they would pro
baby have taken instant vengeance on Mr.
O,Suiliyanis assailants. At length Mr.. O'Sulli
van was induced to resume MS seat, and by
degrees the storm was quelied.
Testimonials TO Gladstone.
From the Liverpool Post
On Friday night a meeting OF workingmen
was held at Liverpool for the purpose OF taking
the necessary steps to obtain subscriptions to u
testimonial intended to be presented to the
Prime Minister. 1t was stated that between
$500 and $500 had been already subscribed, and
that, nasmuch as Mr.. Gladstone had, in reply
10 a communication forwarded to him, eX-
pressed the pleasure it would afford him TO
receive the proposed testimonial, 1t was
the town should be represented in the move
nent. II was not the object of the originators
of this movement to obtain large subscriptions
from individuals, but rather 10 get up, with the
hid OF the masses, such a testimonial as would
do honor 10 the distinguished statesman, and re.
feet credit upon the eworkingmenof Liverpool and
the town at large. 1t having been suggested
should be formed, about torty names were
subscribed, and Mr.. Thomas Cope was unani.
