THE large&t and most disastrous fire that liaa occurred in Montreal since 1852, occurred a week ago Saturday morning.

A DREADFUL collision occurred on Friday last # on the Midland railroad in Euglan-1 a train filled with excursionists who were going to Doncaator to witness the rases, collided with another train and was\*wrecked.

H. Arnton, a highel popular gentleman of that city, wbicl deserves a place in the columns of ever newspaper in the land. The Star say Billy*' Arnton's pluek is proverbial. Another instance of il was given ye terday when .he saved the life of one a the drivers of Aird's bread carts. Th cart was proceeding along St. James street when, the bridle elippod off the horse's. head. The animal in a momeiv was dashing duwn the street at galop, swaying from on© side of th street to the other, and at every me ment threatening to cause some drea disaster. The driver, poor fellow, was helpless. There he sat with b&ncir- ed fhee, holding the reinsprhieh now I: uselcss'in his hand. Passing througi Victoria Square tha horso accelerate) its epoed, while tbo onlookers stoo aghast. «• Tha. man wonld surely be dashed to pieces, they said > and indeed his changes looked pretty slim. Sud denly Mr. Wm. Arnton, who was con ing along from the west end, took i the situation, and in an instant he WJ in the middle of the road, and another, with a bound nnd a dash h< had the runaway by tha noso. Stil the horee con mined its wild career, an< it was only aftej a most despera! effort that Mr. Arnton, at the imm neut peril of his life, mastered the bra to and eaved the driver. Hi gratitude waa profuse, and well might be, as a pluckier, more inani act was never performed ia the streel of Uourresi. some skillful and others careless, and that they should be compensated al.ke i* not right. It is preposterous. Those who now clamor for a general distri- ution of property would be as badly >f£ as ever before long, and be clamoring 'or another distribution.\ IN the debate raised in the British House of Commons on the evening of the 13th, Mr. Morley -said tho action of the Irish members was da© to the fact that tho exceptional law for Ireland forced tho people to consequen- ces of which the Government bad been imply warned beforehand. Mr. Morlej then spoko of the treatment of poli- tical prisoners, and said that no country subjected its political offenders to such harsh discipline as Engeland had shown toward the Irish members who ad been confined. The action of Tfce~~Grovernwent showed plainly that they intended to rigorously en- force the Coercion law during tha recess. He urged the Government to grant an enquiry into ,tho action of the police in regard to the Mitchellstowa affair, if only to satisfy the public. THB British minister at Washington Sir Lionel Saksville west, in a recent conversation concerning the fisheries question, stated that tbe British repres- entatives at the conference, which he thinks should properly bo held in the Department of State at Washington, will consist of Mr. Chamberlain, Sir. John MacDonald and himself. They are expected to meet there in the latter part of October or early in November. He says the relatioos betweeen Fngland and the United States are most friendly acd are growing more so every year; Tho continued seeial and business intercourse between lbs people of the two countries would justify the pre- diotion that the fisheries question be adjusted without much difficulty. He savs tfce conference will undoubtedly bnng about an amicable settlement of this long pending question. There were, in fact, reasons of a most cogent kind for closer and more friendly inter- course if possible in the future.'* THB liberal press of England insist that the rapidly increasing eases of crime in Ireland is directly traceable to the Coercion Act. The predictions made when the Act was passed aro now bviss fulfilled, they say, and none but the Government can bo blamed. The loader? of tho National Irish League threaten to cease their efforts to control the people unless England will alleviate tho harshness with which U is aow treating Ireland. It is however, * matter of grave doubt if the kwdera oould aow control the wrought up passions of their countryman. The priests too, to whom the Irish always have rendered implicit obedkaee, are losing their iaflwooe in cheeking the people. A crisis nees certainly at hand.
