A despatch from St. Petersburg says: More serious in its possible effects than all the defeats in Manchuria or the destruction of Rojest-vensky's fleet was the news which reached St. Petersburg on Wednesday evening that the standard of open rebellion was floating on board one of the Emperor's battleships in the harbor of Odessa, and that with shotted guns the mutinous crew, headed by eight officers, were holding the ship against all comers. The authorities are panic-stricken, and at tile Admiralty consternation reigns. Admiral Wirenius, chief of the Naval General Staff, frankly confessed that the situation was grave.

A Paris despatch says:--The impression in diplomatic circles regarding the tenor of the German reply is that, w'hile Germany is still insisting upon a conference, she no longer ignores the agreement as to Morocco between France.

Ho gave statistics showing] the great importance of the agricultural exports from Canada, which amounted to $100,000 this year and $114,000 last year. Great growth of fruit production made a heavy demand for careful handling and large accommodation. Our butter exports had not increased as they should. How could they increase when butter had to travel in a car in a temperature of 53 degrees to 58 degrees, and then 3 degrees in vessels and 90 degrees after arriving in England, and then compete with butter from Argentina and New Zealand which had been frozen and well cared for all the way?

Many curious facts have come to light about the ill-fated vessels of Rojcstvensky's defeated squadron, says the London Mirror. One odd circumstance about tho battleship Borodino is that, of its conn lemon* of 740 men, no fewer than 628 bore foreign surnames, many of these were Germans from',fhe Baltic provinces, but at least one Englishman--Lieut. Anderson, who! was one of the foreign "mercenaries" taken on at Madagascar--probably lost his life on the ill-fated Russian, battleship.

After the assertions contained an excit;Do. chase •■«■♦ he would b" - - - (idenee Moving therin glad to accept it. At the same time, while complimenting him on the attention he had given to the question, he pointed out that Mr. Armstrong-had unfortunately mixed up the re-, cords of temperatures in cold-storage chambers and in cooled air chambers, apparently oblivious of the fact that these different methods of car-, riage were designed for entirely distinct purposes, and under both these methods temperatures" varied according to the particular articles carried. While agreeing as to the necessity of steady temperatures, Mr. Fisher pointed out that the Govern spatched by a sailor servant, who was, however, bitten on the thumb and died a few days later from blood poisoning. Captain Bcrnatovitch, of the repair ship Kamschatka, was known, among his men as "Kulak Fist," on-account of his habit of boxing the' ears of disobedient subordinates. Hef-was a good linguist, and his two sons wc-5 educated in England. Captain Sergeyeff, of the Borodino, was one of the imost popular officers in the Russian navy, and was known to the sailors as "Kasha," or "Buckwheat Porridge." He was very control over steamship good-natured, but for all that was companies, contracts with which an excellent commander. When a have all expired.
