Trouble Among the Fishermen Ap-
pretended.

From the Bangor Me- Whig. March 26.
Serious trouble i, very likely to arise
from the bitter disputes at present existing
between the American and Canadian FISH,
ermen now plying their vocation iu the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, Bay Chaleur and
the Bay of Fnndy. l. is charged that the
American fishermen overbearingly en-
croach upon the rights of their Canadian
confreres in those waters, and it i. certain,
at least, that the Canadian complaints of
these alleged invasions of their so called
native rights are loud and numerous.
They claim that the American fish close up
to the rocks and that even so unrelishable
and almost unbearable an incursion as this
does not content their wellknown enter
prise, dash, and energy, but that the
Yankees" will not permit the Canadians
to approach their long nets, which they are
charged with wantonly stretching from boat
to boat, often forming a complete block ade
for many miles in length, which is utterly
unapproacha able. and, of course, impassa
bic. II is moreover represented that when
the Canadian fishermen approach their
Yankee" Lrethren and their nettod OUT
posts too closely. loaded revolvers are
pointed at them, and, in two or three in
stances, have actually fred upon the prov
incial John Bull.

Gen. Blair at New Orleans.
From the New Orleans Bee, March q


The Hancock club, through the presi-
dent, Capt. Pickney Smith, invited Gen.
Blair to partake of their hospitalities last
night. The general accepted tho invita-
ton, and was received with great cordiali-
ty. A full turnout of the members testi-
fed to the esteem in which their Gstin-
guished guest was held. A sumptuous
supper in honor of the occasion was laid
in the rooms of the club, Corner Caronde-
let and Gravier streets. Full Juice having
been done thereto, the president, in a few
words, gracefully expressed the pleasure of
the club in meeting Gen. Blair, to which
that gentleman replied with much good
taste and feeling He said in substance
that he had taken his place in the ranks of
the army of the United States in good
faith, for the purpose of preserving the
union of the states on the basis of the con-
stltutlon, and that the war ended by The
surrender of the southern states without
their being required to consent to any dis
honorable conditions had been imposed on
the south by the dominant faction in con.
gresss, to which he had not given his as
sent. Those conditions were not such as
the north should exact nor the south agree
to. DE had therefore cast his lot with the
south, prefsrring to share her disfranchis
ing acts and other disabilities to which con-
gress bad seen fit to subject her. Gen.
Harry ]. Hays responded on the part of
the club, complimenting Gen. Blair as an
honorable foe. An hour or two was GA ssed
most agrceably in the interchange Of friend
ly sentiments.

Terrible Colliery Aocident-Suppos.a 80
Death of Thirteen Miners.

English journals of the 18th contain
thrilling accounts of dreadful COLI .ry 40.
cident. From one of the London papo1
we extract the following account of the
disaster: ~
On the morning Of the 18th one OF the
most serious colliery accidents which b.xA
ever occurred in the Wolverhsmton dis.
trict happened at the earl of Dudley's Ma )
29 Pit, Walows Coliery, Locks lane.
B.ierly hill. Suddenly and ia the middlc
OF the night the water burst into the pit
where there were ten men, three boys Sp1
six horses at work /; aud it is believed thafs
every life is lost. On Tuesday evening the !.
doomed men and boys descended the pit o.
work night turn. The No. 20 pit is s:t..i
uated in Lock lane, near the great water !.
pumping engne-the strongest by tar ~
the dislrict-and within Ii few feet OF the.
road while ct Its rear is the trough pumps
ing engine, and the winding engine of the,
pit itself is also in close proximity. Short
y after one clock in the morning the sa.s
gincer observed great rush of vapor vDs
the shaft. This must have been eauxs6
either by IN intentional setting fire to d
quantity of petroleum by the men as sis<
nal that something was wrong, or by ,tEe
rush Of water over the lights In TIE piers
and huge fire at the bottom used for ttes
purposes OF ventilation but at suoh 8
hour 1t was so easily mistaken for the effeo4
of fire in the pit. The engineer at ouoe
communicated with his brother tenter as
the winding engine, aud both, in compang.
with brakesman and doggy, proceeded q
the pit shaft. The men courageously vois
unteered to descend and ascertain whsA
was the matter. The engine was set ia
motion and the two men lowered. Two a.
three strokes of the engine brought thoa
into collision with the water, which waA
high up the shaft. They immedistsly
cried out that it was water and not Hrsa
but before the eng ne could be reversed
they were plunged ten or eleven feet inta
| the water
When the men returned to the surfses
messengers were sent out tor the earl q
Dudiey's agents in the district, and q verY
short time saw them standing round ths
shaft, discussing what had best be doae.
The great water engine was set to work q
the rate OF nine strokes minute, instead
of five or six; the trough pumping enxiaS
was got into gear and ut ono, commehced q
work, and barrel instead of a skip wa
attached to the end of the pit rote. The
whole OF these arrangements were made.
and pater at the rate $50 tous per hour
was RAISED faom the Fit; but such was
| the force Of the element that at twsips
clock noon, the water had only sunk she1aS
| LIZ inches down the shaft.

FIRST WARD SCHOOL EXHIBITION. -
This entertainment came off, per announce

that he wrote every play himself-conceiv-
