DA8HED TO PIECES ON A REEF IN Richmond, Nov. 10.—In the chancery court of this city a general creditors' bill of Hewy L- Pelouse against The Richmond Whig Publishing company was filed and the appointment of a receiver asked for. Judge HolHdf granted an injunction restraining that corporation Irom farther publication of The Richmond Whig, and appointing Charles C. Clark receiver, with a bo:id of $10,00J. The receiver ii ordered to continue tl|a publication of the papr and manage the business of the corporation. Mr. Clark has been the business manager of The Whij for several years. Pelouje's bill amount? to nearly #1,000 for rent and printing material. The Whig Is in its fifty-second yean That It Is allowed to go Into the hands of a receiver Is considered a certain indication that Uabono ha; decide 1 to permanently retire from politic. The paper has had « varie 1 career. Ia its earlier days it was the lead Dr ol southern opinion, and was the organ of tae Whig party all over the country. One of the most noth! political dujls fought in the south was that between John Hamplen Pleasants, its editor, and William Richie, the eiitor of Tiio Enquirer, in whioh the former was killed. Soon after t-ie War the paper was for a short time Republican, but soon went into Democratic hands, and was continued as a Democratic paper until Mabone declared himself a Republican. It began to be his organ about ten years ago Next to Pleasants Alexander Mosely was its most distinguished eiitor. Ridgeway waa another of its prominent editors. Th) paper has bean considered as losing money for mavy years past. It is rumored that Governor C imeron will purchase it, and, after the expiration of his term in January, run it as an in le pendent paper, but the rumor laoks confirmation. Mahone has been a gr.'at sufferer from dys pepsin for many years, and the fact that he has surrendered his organ leads to the beliaf that he will join his wife and daughter in Rurope. ■EN.

Wiswipxo Nov, 10l—▲ fqarful disaster occurred on Lake Superior, off Port Arthur, on Saturday night. The magnificent ironclad steamer Algoma, of the Canadian Pacific railroad, was wrecked and thirtyasveniivei los ;' Oa.y msageV particulars have been received up to the present hour. They cjnsiit mainly of telegrams to private nr-tona announcing the loss of friend*. Mr. F. Dulgeon, of this city, reoeived a law m-. mints ago the lotto wing telegram: • "Algoma gone down. Your wife and two thiUron jre drowned." U '. Dudgeon's wife is 85 years old, and the cuLdren are a boy and girl 6 and 4 years old respectively. Mr. Dndgjon is from Owen round, and was sending his ■wife aui family tack to Port Arthur. The steamer was from Owen sound, an I was wrecked off Isle Rjya!, just outside Thunder 1 ry. A heavy rain storm prevail*! all Friday aft Drncon and night, and the steam jr lav to for a time. When the weather cleared slightly the vessel started again, but made slow progreu. Th# liext evening a dense *05 prevailed, and the steamer felt h«r way •long, blowing fog horns. She struck a reei and went down. St. Louis, Nov. 10.—Gen. W. T.

Nov. 10.—Tha St. Petersburg correspondent or tha Kj w.i being prevented by the rigorous censorship over press despatches-front making any effective use of the telegraph, has forwarded a letter describing the situation at the Russian capital. He says that tbe action of tbe cz r in striking off the man of Prinoe Alexander of Bulgaria, -from tbe honorary list o. the Russian arnj/ not only without tha advice of bis ministers, but in oppojition to tha earnest on treat iDa of M. de Giers, was necessarily lnfcrinsd of the Czar's in.vntinn, as tfce latter desired that timely notice of his contemplatad action should be ssnt to tha Austr.au anJ Oernu*i emperors, in tlis hopa ciiCt they would also revoie tuepr.nca's honorary appointment! in their armies M. de Giers implore I his majisty to reconsider his dacisioa.l ut the Czar wad thoroughly angry and gruffly told the foreign minister that his only duty wai to obay. This is net by any means tie only rebuff of tbe game kinl that M. de Giers has recaival from bis imperial master within the past twelva months, and the war party is delight?! ovar his new discomfiture. By most persons in St. Patersburg the czar's insult to Prince Alexandar is regarded as a lamentable incident, especially as Austria and Germany have not foliowa I suit, as the czir evidant.y beiievad tney would, in ▼iaw of this occurrencs few political observers at the Russian capital now hop) for peaoa. The Russian government certainly entertains no such hope. Everything is subordinated to feverish war preparations for meeting tbe emergency. It looks now as though Russia wou.d be compelled to fight, and to fight practically aloue, to maintain her presant decree of supra macy in the affairs of eastern Europa. ■ "I knew poor Joh.i well.

Dr. Carroll, Cf the state board of .health, concurred in Dr. Austin's opinion. A .oint letter has been prepared by Dr. Covernton and Dr. Hingston, president of the Q jebec board of health, which will be adilreised to various boards of health and leading journalists, informing them that Ontario is free from epidemic and that active means are being employed in Quebec vfor the suppression of disease.
