Baring , retired . The steamship Ontario arrived at Liverpool a few days since with 247 head of cattle from Canada , soveral of which

their joTiraey to Portland , Maine , where they were embarked . A fishing boat was run down off Stonehaven by a steamer , and three men were drowned . A police constable , on duty for the first time in Sheerness Dockyai-d , was found drowned in the basin on Friday .
Ihe cotton factory operatives at Preston , who struck on Friday against a further reduction of wages , after an interview with the employers on the following day , consented to resume work upon the proposed terms .

being 8 per cent . This reduction , added to a more favourable weekly return , and the conclusion of the fortnightly settlement , led to a considerable improvement in the various stock departments . Bank shares have not shown mnch movement during the week , but gas shares
have been very firm all round . The accounts received from India are satisfactory . General Roberts has had no further difficulty with tho hill tribes , and the Ghundzais have proffered their friendship , in which course it is expected that they will be

refused to sign orders for the dismissal or supersession of several Generals in command of military districts ; but it is thought that his reluctance refers rather to a threatened motion iu the Chambers for an impeachment of the De Broglie-Fourtou Ministry . The President , however ,
yesterday formally notified his resignation , and the Chamber of Deputies immediately elected as his successor M . Jules Grevy by 563 votes , General Chanzy receiving 99 . The
Presidency of the Chamber , vacated b y M . Grevy , will , it is confidently expected , be conferred on M . Gambetta . This sudden change of affairs has caused great surprise in Paris , and some anxiety as to the consequences .
We have received copy of the Annual Report , Regulations and List of Governors and Subscribers—corrected to 1 st November 1878—of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution . One matter in connection with the list we are i anxious to draw Bro . Terry ' s attention to , especially as it
hns been again and again brought under our notice by brethren , both Metropolitan and Provincial , but particularly the lutter . These latter , indeed , may be said to be labouring under a grievance , inso much as , with the List of Governors and Subscribers as at present arranged it is impossible for
them , except after an immense deal of trouble , to ascerfaij the voting strength of their province in respect of this Institution , and it has been suggested that if Bio . Terry wonld only have his list drawn up on a somewhat similar fashion to those of the Boys' and Girls' Schools—London
