Our HUMILIATION AT VIExxA.-It ap-
pears that our nation has been sadly
disgraced by the conduct Of the Amer.
lean Commissioners at the Vienna -Ex-
hibition. The portion assigned to. our
people in the grand international pa.
ace, presents scene of confusion and
disorder that has elected the jeers and
contempt of other nations. 1t appears
that the Commissioners instituted de-
minutive "Credit Mobilier," and sold
positions for peanut stands, and " hash
mills" in the space assigned for the ex-
hibition of the mechanical triumphs of
our people, and this and other causes,
led to the removal of the Commissioner
Van Buren, just as the Exhibition was
about to open. 1t is hoped that order
may yet be brought out of chaos, and
the nation relieved from the stigma
that has been brought upon our people
by the manifestation of this mercenary
spirit of their representative.

HALIFAX, May 16.-At the inquest,
held yesterday, several important facts
came out in the evidence, which show
recklessness or carelessness in the work
of the supervisor of the dangerous
parts of the mine. The first witness,
Thomas Lawthier, testified that the
mine was carefully attended during the
time the miners were out on strike, so
that there could have been no accumu-
lation of gas when the miners returned
to work on Tuesday. The second wit
moss, James Dunston, who was in the
mine when the fire occurred, testified
that no found nothing unusual in the
mine when he descended; that when
word was passed that the mine was on
FIRE, all hands were requested to 60 and
put it out. Those who refused to as
assist were ordered to leave, as by re-
naming they would only impede the
progress of others. Had the men
obeyed the order, when it was fonnd
impossible to stop the fire, there would
have been plenty of time to get OUT
The same level has been on fire before
A man was always stationed in the can
in to give the miners information as to-
the condition Of their places and warn
them of any danger there. These reg
ulations were attended to, as we're also
the ventilators in the same level.

widows and orphans will be raised
