CANADA'S NEW GOVERNOR EMBARKs.

IOo Wy VIC LUKE VI OOnDduSnC, IrlnC6
Leopoldsand suite, arrived here at six
O o'clock this morning. At ten o'clock,
the royal party went to the town hall at
tended by a military escort. A deta CHI
ment of volunteers were stationed at
prominent points along the route. The
streets were crowded with people, who
gave the visitors 2, hearty reception.
The town hall was filled with ladies and
gentlemen. The recorder read an adj
dress from the Liverpool town
council, and the president
of the chamber of commerce read an
address from that body to the Marquis,
who replied to both. The royal party
afterwards presented themselves on the
balcony overlooking the exchange,
which were followed by the enthusiastic
crowd. They then proceeded to the land
ing stage, and embarked on a tender
for the steamship Starvation. After
warm leave-taking, the royal party re-
turned to shore, and the steamer pro-
ceeded to sea. The weather was fine,
and the whole proceedings passed off
with great eclat.
A Halifax dispatch under date of
Nov. I4th says that it is understood
that the landing day Of the new COVER
nor-general and Princess Louise will be
proclaimed public holiday. The cree
ton of arches and preparations for il
Eliminating buildings are in progress.
FLOOD IN ITALY.
A cablegram from Rome November
10Th says: The waters Of the
Tiber overhowed it's banks, and the
lower part of the city is inundated, and
it is expected that during the night the
flood will become nearly as widespread
as the disastrous one Of 1870.
There has been violent storms
throughout central Italy, and the
damage caused by them is al
most unparalleled. Travel on all rail
ways between Rome and the north is
interrupted. The rain has ceased here
and the wind has changed, but the Ii
Der continues to rise rapidly.
DISCOVERY OF GLoD IN INDIA.
A Herald cablegram of Nov. 18th
says: The new gold discovery Of India
is described as follows: "Within an
area of twenty-five by thirteen miles
ninety outcrops were discovered
of auriferous quartz from two
to four feet thick, yield
ing from a few pennyweights to 200
ounces per ton. The richer stone shows
when broken fine and coarse seams
jagged pieces the size of pea. In some
reefs much of the stone will probably
not pay for working, but it is be-
Heved that, on the whole, very large
and profitable industry will be insured
with the aid of capital and good man
agement Wynood is healthy and
pleasant for Europeans nine months of
the year, but fevers prevail during
three months.
We are informed by cablegram of
Nov. 18th that the Swiss govern
ment will give notice, January LIST, of
its intention to withdraw from the
Latin monetary convention.
GERMANY AND SAMOA.
We learn from Paris cablegram of
Nov. 18th that Germany will occupy
the whole of the Samoan Archipelago.
THE AMER WEAKENS.
A Bombay cablegram Of Nov. 18th
says hopes are entertained at Slmla of
a peaceful solution of the Afghan diff
Guilty. It is supposed Russia is exercis-
ing pressure upon the Ameer with this
object. The Ameer, moreover, despalrs
of success against the British Com
mander. The chief of the British has
started for Peshawuer. Gen. Browns
division will strike the first blow, if war
is declared. Browns division is that
operating from Peshawuer in the direc-
ton of Khyber pass.
A London cablegram of November
10th, says: The Times says when
we hear that public opinion in the
United States has suddenly been
thrown into a ferment by revival of
the fishery question, and that Mr.. Evarts
has written two vigorous dispatches, the
of which couple of days
before election has aroused patriotic
feeling in the majority no doubt profit
able to the republican party, we can
only wonder at the capacity of being
arouseds by small things which the
Am ericans possess. Evarts' dispatch
are concerned with what are apparently
Anticipated subjects. The fshermen's
quarrel on the coast of Newfoundland in
January last and the payment of the
Halifax award which the arbitrator an
nouncd nearly twelve months ago.
Whatever may be the course of the
Newfoundland dispute, it can have no
bearing on the payments and non-pay-
ments of the Halifax award. That
must be determined by the American
people upon general principles of hon
or and equity and without reference to
subsequent disputes about other mat
ters. If they wish to repudiate the
award Of the Halifax tribunal they may
rest assured we shall not go to war to
recover damages. They have nothing
to fear save the loss Of their national
self respect and the uncomplimentary
surprise of the old world nation.
