availed himself of its counsel but as it was, he
consulted in important matters with individual
firms interested in the whaling business, and was
guided often by their advice.
We can easily imagine the dismay which must
have prevailed in the oil circles of New Bedford,
when the unwelcome fact was thrust upon them
that there were two parties to shipping articles,
and that Jack had rights that were to be protected.
The shock must have been as severe as that of a
shower bath with the thermometer at thirty degrees
What compelled to be honest? And by Consul?
Sublime audacityI Immediately the cry went up
that a death-blow had been struck at the vitals of
the leading interest of New Bedford. This would
never do and so We have heard of a Spartan
band OF shelved shipmasters and hungry agents,
marching in solid phalanx " down to Washing
ton" armed with protests and ever potent money
bags. What was there secured was not the re-
Jection of MIR. Adamson by the United States
Senate, but the refusal of the Committee of Com

Under the rules, any nomination
by the President which is not acted on before the
close Of the session, falls to the ground, and con-
sequently there was no option but to recall Mr..
Adamson.
Had the late incumbent of the Consulate been
here the past fall, we should not have seen the,
columns of the Government Organ filled with re-
ports of cases in Court where Jack rebelled at
being paid off at lower rates than even cargoes
sold for in this market. Let it be said to the
honor of our Courts, that in5every instance the
Consular rates were set aside, and higher prices
given. And let us hope that the good work COM
menced by Mr.. Adamson is not to stop, but that
strict justice is to be dealt out with an impartial
hand to both Jack and his master.

A PROTEST OF THE CATHOLICS OF GREAT BRITAIN.
The Westminster Gazette publishes the follow
ing protest of the Catholics of Great Britain
against the invasion of Rome, which has been
adopted by a committee Of which the Duke of
Norfolk is chairman:
We the undersigned Catholics of Great Britain,
have witnessed with grief and indignation the in
vasion of the Church and the assault and capture
of Rome by the army of King Victor Emanuel.
We hold that to witness these events in silence
would be to connive at a blow to those first in
stincts of honor and Justice without which security
and freedom are impossible, whether for States or
individuals. We protest against these acts. we
protest against them in the interests of public
order, of morality and OF religion. We invite all
honest men to join us in condemning this unJusti-
fable spoliation. We invite all faithful Catholics
to Join us in eondemning this act of sacrilege.

Accident on the Grand Trunk.

Sunday morning two trains were stand
ing on the siding near Grafton, Ontario,
about half way between Toronto and
Kingston, the cars of one of them, No.
Is, projecting on to the main line. An
other train soon arrived and a few min
utes after eight, train No 20, which had
passed at Colborne by the express No. II
came whirlmg along from that station at
the rate of so miles an hour. 1t is pre-
sumed that owing to the fog, the driver
did not see the signal. but, whether or no,
1t was an infringement of the company's
rules to run up to station at such
rate. Mr.. Allen, the operator at the sta
ilon, at once saw and comprehended the
danger. II No. 20 was allowed to dash
along the main line, she would annihi-
late the express which, from the block on
the main line by the cars of No. 10, had
do chance of running forward and there
by diminishing the force of the collision.
10 avoid what would inevitably have
made perfect shambles of the express,
MIR. Allen, with commendable presence of
mind, rushed to the switch and, prefer
ring the least of two slaughters, turned
No. 70 into the siding. The engineer and
fireman. with the conductor, who was on
the engine, made herculean efforts to heck
the speed, but it was all too late, No. 20
dashed with terrible force against the en-
CINE of No. 9, the engine Of the former
mounting the latter, and a fearful scene
cnsued. Several cars of both trains were
thrown down the bank, even No. 10 auiv-

results are unprecedented. By the GOODNESS
OF the operator, Mr.. Allen, more fright

been allowed to run along the main line,
