the liberation Of the outlying provinces OF

The Abbettsford Investigatisn.
In delivering judgment in the case Of the
Abbottsford investigation the court OF IN.
quiry said they were perfectly satisned
that the vessel was in good order; that the
general character and conduct OF the ON
GERS were perfect and all that could oe ce,
sired by critical owners or most critical
public. The vessel made the journey SAFE
iy until near Holyhead, and then, in very
few hours, was lost on the coast Of
Anglesey. Every precauti0n seemed to
have been taken; all that prudence
dictated, all that the printed rules for the
guidance Of officers required had been done.
Soundings we're made regularly. and % the
weather thickened constant and doubtless
vigilant and efficient look out had been
preserved. Still the vessel was finally lost
on summers day in the fog. and 1t re-
manned for the court to ascertain the cause use
to accept the theory of sudden
disturbance of the compass, but
thought that when observation was
taken after leaving Holyhead there was
some gross error of calculation. They
were of opinion that the loss of the vessel
was due in the first instance to the masters
having miejudged the distance from Holy
head, and they also thought sufficient al
lowance was not made for the force OF the
tide. especially during the several times the
vessel was slowed or stopped for sound
ings. They held these mistakes deserv-
ing of censure. They could not say
that considering the state of weather, after
passing H0lyhead it was prudent to proceed
at the rate Of speed at which the vessel did,
though the loss could not be attributed to
that cause. The captains certificate would

The British Grain Market.
The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly re-
view of the grain market, Gays the wheat
crop in Great Britain has been gathered In
much better order than was expected;
prices generally yielded one to two shil-
lines, in some cases two to three shillines.
The new samples look we'll in comparison
with those of last year, with less average
and diminished yield. The Paris market
has also felt the bene6cent effect Of the
weather, the price of -four having declined
two shillings per sack.
In many parts of France the harvest has
been gathered, but in none will 1t be any
wise like that of last year. Accounts from
the continent differ somewhat, but all agree
upon the fact that the violent local storms
with unusually large hail stones, doing inn.
mense damage, have visited France, Bel.
rium and Holland. Prices are but little
changed on the oc0ntinent generally. In
Germany the markets are firm.
