The incoming vessels continue to report severe
storms on the Atlantic. The captain Of the City
of Montreal, OF the Inman line, which arrived
yesterday, says that during the voyage he encoun-
tered some very severe weather. He sailed from
Liverpool November %, and called at Queenstown
on the following day. Soon afterward a heavy
storm set In and continued for five days During
this hurricane the ship labOred violently among the
waves, many OF which broke over her. One of the
conpanion-ways was smashed in but no other
damages were caused during the prevalence of the
storm. The State of Nevada, OF the State line
which arrived from Glasgow yesterday, also ex-
perienced much rough weather. She sailed
from the Clyde November 3, but did not leave
Larne until the 18th. Her decks were swept by
the heavy waves, but no serious damages were
caused. Capt. Morse, OF the ship Ellen Good
speed, from Carthagena, reports very heavy
weather during the whole passage. Sails

FEMALE EMIGRATION TO CANADA meet
ing OF supporters Of the WOmen's Emigration
Society was held at Exeter Hall. in London
Yesterday to discuss female emigration to
Canada. The Marquis of Lorne presided. He
said he thought that committees sending
women to Canada should have affiliated with
committees in Canada, who should send reports
to London monthly. He specially dwelt upon
the capabilities Of the northwest of supporting
larger population, and suggested that arrange
ments be made for the organization of commit
tees in centers Of population with the view of
encouraging emigration of women. Sir Alex
ander 7. Gait, resident minister Of the Domin-
ion of Canada in Great Britain. also spoke. He
said he regretted that the British government
had never recognized the Importance Of pro-
tected emigration. He hoped that government
would soon meet the liberal offers of Canada
and cooperate In promoting emigration of Eng
lands surplus population to the Dominion.
