Escape sea sickness altogether As the motion in rough weather is not to seriously Felt. The appreciation by the travelling Public 01 the Superior Comfort thus provided has led the directors of other steamship companies to adopt the new plan of arrange ment in All new steamships being built and some of the old vessels Are being altered. The latest news respecting the trouble in the North West has been forwarded by our Battleford correspondent. It is satisfactory to learn that no overt act of hostility has taken place and that the indians propose to adopt a proper course by sending a deputation to Lay their real or imaginary grievances before the Lieut. Governor. We Are surprised to learn that Sioux and blackfeet Are together in one Camp the locality mentioned is about 135 Miles South South West of Battleford As the Crow flies. We shall no doubt receive further information of a Trust worthy character in a few Days from the capital of the North West. A from Ottawa dated the 31st ult., that an important communication has been received from the by. Lion.

In reply to a communication sent him from a committee of five Hundred electors chosen to Arrn nne for the proper representation of Greenwich at the next general election. Or. Gladstone announced that he did nou intend to present himself for re election As he had determined to retire from Public life. It will be remembered that ten years ago when prime minister he was returned for this metropolitan Borough after being Defeated in his former constituency South Lancashire. Or. Gladstone is now seventy years of age and no doubt feels the effect of his exhausting labors during a Long term of i a practical consequences of the riot in Toronto resulting irom the recent visit of o Donovan Rossa have painfully brought Home to the ratepayers the fact that the roughs who committed All the damage Are not very conveniently to be made responsible or to be made to pay for the injury they inflicted on the property of citizens. Bill after Bill is being presented to the Corpora Tion the amounts of which the general body of the taxpayers will have to meet. The Globe makes the following remarks on the situation the people who encouraged this bewildered fool of a Man called Rossa to come to Canada Are in no common measure blame Woi the while those who made his presence an excuse for breaking the Queen s peace Are equally criminal if not More so.
