unswick, referring only accidentally to Canada, and saying nothing about Cariboo hunting l ne first part of the paper was taken np with an enthusiastic description of the beant.es of the great North-West region in general and of Color-do in particular.Ihea followed graphic accounts of a number of hunting excursions, thickly interspersed with valuable hints to hunter.,, expiations of how to hunt deer, mountain sheep, moose, Ac.The Earl closed by a pleasant reference to the growing popularity of field sports in America.The steamship \u201cGaltia,\u201d Cunard Line, h-H for Europe at 9.15 this morning.Among those on board w«re Thomas Bailey Potter, M.P., the Earl of Dunraven, Mr.C.W.Fitzwiilism, Lord Rodney, Lord Caledon, and many othei s distinguished in society here and abroad The total list of passengers was 242 cabin, and 80 steerage.It is thought that 1,660 people had gathered to witness the departure of their friends.The display of dresses and diamonds was very brilliant.Tàe saloon was beautifully decorated with flowers, Mr.Potter was receiveed with the most marked attention.In the cabin brief ,peecbes were made to Mr.Pottei, exprtssftg the great delight Americans had received from his visit and the regret felt at his departure.To these Mr.Potter replied feelingly, expressing his love ' for this people, his profound appreciation of their great-hearied hotp tality, and prophesying golden things for the future of this land.A Havana letter says that the threatening state of political affairs reported from the interior has caused a general feeling of gloom.Accounts of the inaunection made public, through official sources, are meagre and intended to create the impression that the affair is of little importance.San Francisco, November 19.\u2014A special from Wright\u2019s Station says the white men injured by the explosion are likely to recover.One more Chinaman died last night.No more bodies hare been taken out.The sewer has been repaired and the pumps started.A head Chinaman is trying to get men to go in the sewer.No men are willing, they will probably get some after the blower runs seventeen hours.The air pumped out is very foul and full of gas.Philadelphia, November 19.\u2014The second mate of the sunken steamer \u201cChampion\u201d to-day testified that the \u201c Champion \u201d had four men on each watch.One of thes; is kept at the wheel and another one on the lookout.When three men were required to set sail they took the man from the lookout to help, providing the westher was clear.There was no standing order on the steamer against taking the lookout from his post.Frank Jackson, who was at the steamer\u2019s wheel at that time said, just before the collision, that he saw Paul Hand, the lookou ,,eag iged with two others in setting sail.The witness altered the steamer\u2019s course by order of the captain five or seven minutes before the collision.Frederick Richards, a seaman, testified that the lookout went aloft to loosen the topsail just before the collision.No one,witness knew of, was on the lookout, wtiilî this hand was aloft.Sion after this he heard the alarm \u201csail ahead.\u201d A warning was given by the lookout hand, but witness could not tell wnat part of the steamer the cry came from.It was forward somewhere.After the cry of \u201csail ahead\u201d the collisi m occurred.These witnesses, and Charles Euler, s a-mau, all testified that it was the \u201c O j-tavia \u201d that ran into the \u201c Champion.\u201d None of them saw any lights on the \u201c Octavia,\u201d though, after the collison, they did not look particularly, J.P.Mitcfiell, passenger on the \u201c Champion,\u201d testified that, before the steamer sank, he seat «bed for a life preserye'r or anything else that would affird him assistance, lint could not find anything.Washington, November 19.\u2014To-day was a gala day, the occasion being the unveiling of the statue of Gen.Thomas of the Army of the Cumberland.There was an immense procession of the veterans and citizens, together with all other appropriate ceremonies, after which the statue was unveiled.In accepting the statue Fresiflent Hayes said:\u2014In the name of the people of the United States I accept this noble statue so worthy of its subject, erected in honour of General George H.Thomas, by his comrades of the Illustrious Army the Cumberland.(Cheers.) It is estimated there were 50,000 people in the throng.A general holiday was observed, the entire populace appeared to be in the streets.The military feature the procession surpassed anything that Lad been seen in the city since the grand review at the close of the war.The Capitol, Treasury, and several other buildings were illuminated with electric lights, while Pennsylvania avenue is, ablaze with gas and densely thronged.Rockets and bombs were sent up from the south front of the Treasury and from various parts of the city.There is much anxiety here regarding the safety of General Hatch, special ent Adams and others, who are at the Ute Indian agency investigating the recent outbreak, for from reports eceived their situation is precarious ; but Secretary Schurz has great confidence in Ouray, whom he believes to be powerful enough to protect them.The Gommissinners have no other protection than Ouray\u2019s Indian police.H:s dearest r.eampment is 180 miles away.CR ÎMS AND ACCIDENTS SPECIAL CABLE (Exclusively for the Herald.)

so I put my horse at the Tugela and got over safely, under a rain of assegais.\u2019 The story was narrated modestly, but there is no doubt that the \u2018 gray horse \u2019 was a very rallying point in the thickest of the battle.The courage which faced the foam ng Tugela so won Cetywayo\u2019s heart that he Sent messengers to the man who exhibited it.seeking his friendship and offerirg to give him land.The rest is soon told.The acquaintance that commeneed in esteem soon ripened into friendship and confidence.Lands were given to John Dunn, wives were offend him, and he became a great chief and counsellor in the Zulu nation.Hts tribe numbers 2,000 men.The lands secured to him are for use and occupation, hut he has only a life interest in them.On his death they revert to the nation, to which they belong, and not to the King.It was during the early years of his trading and residence in Zulnland that John Dunn carried on a lucrative trade in guns, which has been by some people stigmatized as contraband.The commerce was conducted openly ; the firearms came through Delagoa Bav, and the question is an open one.With the cattle obtained by the barter of guns Dunn became the largest stockholder iu Zululand.His wealth is computed by those who know at $200,000.On the recent appointment of Mr.Dunn as diplomatic agent in Zululand much has of late been said in an unfavourable tone.But it is evident that a man who has an unequalled knowledge of Zulnland and the Zulus, and whose influence with the nation is as great as that of Sir Theophilus Shep-stone, is the only person in South Africa who could satisfactorily fulfill the duties of an arduous appointment calling for such qualifications as he alone possesses \u2014an amazing knowledge of native diplomacy, consummate tact and high moral and physical courage.Sir Garnet Wolseley, a shrewd judge of character, saw the man and trusted him, and the selection has, by cilonists, been admitted to be a wise one.For his services in the late war Mr.Dunn was publicly thanked by Generals Lord Chelmsford and Orealock.____A netton £nUs.BY HENRY J.SHAW) of Second-hand Pianos 0*1 FRIQIT »!

Considerable excitement was caused throughout the city yes terday by rumours that war may be expected to be decla' ed at any moment between Russia and England.Despatches from London stated that Russia had requested Turkey to notify all the signers of the Treaty of 1856 to send squadrons into the Dardanelles in case the English fleet entered the Strait.The feeling ran high in certain circles, and some announced that the English Government had instructed Lord Dufferin, its representative at St.Petersburg, to close negotiations with the Government of the Czar.A reporter called on the English Consul to ascertain wnat information he had on the subject.The Consul said he knew nothing beyond what he had seen in the newspapers, and he thought the news sensational and without foundation.It was not probable so serious a state of affairs coaid arise so suddenly still the rumours might he well founded for anything lie knew to the contrary but up to last night he had recel ved no official notification on the subject.A cable despatch has been received stating that the steamship \u201c Alabama,\u201d which sailed from this port for Rouen on October 29th, has been wrecked at the mouth of the River Seine.J.Segar, her agent, says she carried cargo of 64,842 bushels of wheat, three fourths in bulk and the remainder :~ bags.The vessel and her cargo were insured.She was commanded by Captain Humphreys, who was saved with the crew.The \u201c Alabama\u201d was an !y >,8' %2araria A ltural delegates, iïüi^eU, dof0caa\u201crT°mpaIlicd fc^ay W1'^\u2019 reached « aiterr and were llejl5L''g,.lt'»h agrienUn in,\tt >l'on screw-steamship of 1,166 tons, and JUr S'ggarandCowtl 1 delegates> sailed under the British flag.She was .
