[wooden buildings in Ottawa street, belonging to Mrs.Mohon ; a three-story brick house of six tenements, and also to the sheds and residence of Mr.Larkin, on the corner of Murray and Ottawa streets, making its way rapidly through a nnmber of sheds and wooden houses in Murray street.When the wooden houses had been almost entirely consumed, and the fire had! extended to the brick buildings, the water came on, but the supply was so weak as to: render it almost useless.It, however, beceme stronger, bat as we write \u2014 4.15 am.,\u2014 the firemen were exerting themselves to the utmost to confine the flsmes to these buildings We think there could not have been less than thirty families turned into the street, and the greater portion cf their effects were burned.Mrs.Mohon\u2019s property, we understand, is insured in the London and Lancashire, but we have not ascertained where Mr.Larkin\u2019s property is insured.Canadian Bock bindino at the Ddehn Exhibition.\u2014Messrs.Dawson Bros, have received copies of the photographs taken by Mr.Liver-nois of Quebec, of the specimens of book-binding contributed to the Dublin International Exhibition of 1865, by Georgs E.Desbarats, Esq.These contributions do great credit to the establishment, and will, we are sure, take a very high rank, even where the art has been carried to its greatest perfection.GO TO PiJINCE\u2019S TO LET.Possess\u2019on in May next, Two of those COMMODIOUS STORES in St.Paul Street, opposite the Weigh House of the Bonsecours Market.Apply to JOHN ATKINSON, No.384 Dorchester Street.April 13.\tgj TO LET, The STORE in- St.Paul Street, next to Messrs.Ringland & Ewart\u2019s, and recently occupied by Messrs.Hill & Bur-land.One of the best stands in the Possession immediately.FROTHINGHaM & WORKMAN.May !\u2022\tda 102 and eiT iioote's HumiÉjr-ttiiij Valses.\" tf- THE MOST POPULAR AND PRETTIEST SET OF VALSES PUBLISHED FOR YEARS1 May 4.\t106 'VTOTIOE is hereby given that a Deed of c.\u2019'tn-_LN position and discharge, exec\u2019nted by t.be majority in number of those of the Creditors of', the Insolvent, who are respectively Creditors for sums of One Hundred Dollars and.upwards, and who represent at least three-ifourths in value of the liabilities of the Insolvent, subject to be computed In ascertaining such proportion, has been duly executed and deposited with me.JOHN MACINTOSH, Assignee.Montreal, May 13, 1865.\tdu 113 JOHN HIKES & JJAVE A CO.STOCK Ayefs Cathartic Pills.COMPLETE OF SPRING AND SUMMER UNDERCLOTHING WHITE REGATTA and FLANNEL SHIRTS KID, BUCK, DOGSKIN, THREAD and SILK GLOVES GENTLEMEN\u2019S LADIES\u2019, MISSES\u2019 and BOYS SIZES MERINO, LISLE THREAD, and COTTON HOSE, f Hose, ) Hose Old No.211 and 213 Notre Dame Street New No.347,349 and 361 Notre Dame Street.Teirehne Tuinpilte Hoad Com'} THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the above Ccnn iimy will be held in my Office in the TOWN of TERREBONNE, on MONDAY the FIFTH day of JUNE next, at ONE o\u2019clock P,M,| for the put pose of electing Directors for the ensuing year, conformaly to the Resolution passed on the 25th April, 1865.By order, J.C.AUGER, Secretary, Tern-bonne., 1st May, 1865.\td» 105 Tabb & Thompson HOUitE FlllSlSHINfcf General Hardware!

every pains to' arrive at a just solution of the questions submitted to them.They have exhausted all the information upon the subject within their reach, and have carefully considered the evidence laid before them.But these questions are obviously irom their very nature, incapable of demonstration.-Exact justice is therefore impossible, and ihe1 Commission have not the hope that their conclu-sions will meet with universal acceptance.But as the Legislature has devolved upon your Ex-lency in Council the duty of fixing the price to be.paid to the Railway Companies of this Province for the services to be performed by them for the Government, the Commissioners have felt it right to make in every case a liberal allowance for such services.Before they state their own convulsions, it may be useful to advert briefly to the grounds upon which several of the railway companies, and especially the Grand Trunk Railway Company, have advanced claims which the Commissioners feel ihat they cannot in justice admit.Mr; Brydges, in his memorandum on behalf of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, dwells at length upon certain circumstances in the formation ot that Company, and upon the difficulties in carrying out their undertaking, as matters which ought to influence the rate to be paid for the work performed by the Company for the Government.The Commissioners cannot agree in that view of the case.They have felt tnemselves precluded, under the circumstances, perhaps wrongly, from taking into account the large advances made by the Government of Canada to the Grand Trunk Railway Company.But if that consideration be properly excluded, they are very clear that there is nothing in the facts urged by Mr.Brydges, which should influence their judgment in determining the question submitted to them.The high prices paid in many cases in Great Britain and Ireland are much insisted upon au justifying the claims advanced by the Grand Trunk and other railway companies in this Province for Postal Service- Bat that argument is not entitled, in the opinion of the Comission-ers, to any weight whatever.In all those cases the high prices named are for post-office trains ; that is for trains in respect of which the Postmaster General prescribes the hour of depar.ture, the speed and places to be served.This fact alone would of itself demonstrate the futility of any arguments based upon the price paid' to \u201c notice trains \u201d in Great Britain.But there exists, besides, special reasons, in many of the cases referred to, which it would be too tedious to enumerate.The Great Southern and Western Railway of Ireland, for inotonco, io mentioned ; on which road the rate is 4s.6d.sterling per mile ; the highest price paid on any railway in Great Britain or Ireland, with the exception perhaps of the Chester and Holy-head line, Mr.Brydges attributes the high price paid upon the Irish lines to the paucity of passenger traffic, and thinks that in that respect,, there is a parallelism between the Canadian and the Irish lines, although in otherjrespecta he thinks the Grand Trunk entitled to a still higher rate of payment The Commiseioners cannot agree in any part of that argument.The truth is that, ihe greater the amount of traffic, the greater must be the danger of interference and consequently; the higher must be the price paid for a notice train.The high price paid to the Great Southern and Western is plainly attributable to the fact that at the time the night mail was established on that line, the road was closed daring the whole night.But to meet the requirements of the Postmaster General, the road had to be kept open from five o'clock in the evening until nine in the morning, a circumstance which goes far to justify the high price awarded.In like manner, the South Western Company is paid 3s 6d per mile for the train which carries the Indian mail to London, on the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Packets at Southampton ; bat then, that is exclusively a Post Office train, and carries no passengers whatever.But apart from the special considerations just alluded to, which might be multiplied indefinitely the Commissioners are clear that the service performed in Great Britain and Ireland, by trains under notice bears no analogy whatever to the service to be performed here bv the ordinary trains of the various companies, run for their own purposes, and without any interference on the part of the Post Office Department.It is argued, however, that the rates paid iyi the United States for postal railway service afford a safe precedent in determining the rates which should fairly be paid in this Province In one respect the rates paid in the United States do afford a safer precedent than those paid in Great Britain, bscause in the former country, the general rule is to make use of the ordinary trains of the railway companies, while in the latter that is tho exception.But on the other hand, the rates paid in the United States vary from $20 per mile, which the Commission ers believe to be the lowest, up to $375, which is perhaps the highest ; and this endless variety MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE T TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1865.of rsfe depends, as succeasiye postmasters have complained, on no settled principle.Now, had ¦the matter rested there, the impossibility of de-riv'ng any assistance from such amass of in-congruous ta'es, said by those most capable of forming at i « urate judgment to depend on no Settled principle, would have been apparent To obviate the force of this fact, and to show that the rates paid on the more important routes in the United t tales should be paid to the Grand Trunk Company, Mr.Bridges states in his memorandum, \u201cthat in the United States the distributing mails are carried upon one train, etopning at each station, and which distributes the mails upon tbe way in a car specially fitted up for the purpose ; that is the only distributing car that is run upon any American railway ; it is on'y run one\" each day during the day time, and it is for that service that the rate of payment is made.\u201d This statement is reiterated by if,.Brydges in his evidence, as may be seen by a refirence to question ninety-six, and bad the fact been as there alleged, the argument deduced fiomit would no doubt have bad great weight.But the inaccuracy ot Mr.Brydges\u2019 statement is clearly demonstrated by Mr.Griffin, (whose thorough acquaintance with the subject cannot bedoub-ed.) in his answer to question three hundred and nineteen.Apart, however, flom this general statement of the nature of the Railway Postal Service in the United States the facts in relation to several important railways, in regard to which evidence has been obtained, lead conclusively to the same result.It will be \u2022 bserved from Mr.Brydges\u2019 evidence, (see from question 100 to 120,) that he had no accurate knowledge as to the service performed by the principal railways in the United States.On enquiry it was found that on the New York Central, a case much insisted upon, there were thr.e services each way daily, and one on Sunday ; and that the average daily weights of mails passing over that road from Albany during the first week of the present month, was bj post office car, 175 lbs, whilst by the other five trains there paiaed noless than 7,264 lbs.The facts in relation to the service performed by the Washington and Baltimore, the Baltimore and New York, and the Baltimore and Philadelphia roads are stated by Mr Griffin in answer to question 320.He says :-i-\u201c Between Washington and Baltimore the service is stated by the United States Post Office at four daily services each way, on week days, and twice each way on Sun.day.Between Baltimore und New York there are three daily services each way on week days, and one on Sundays.Of these services one is way office distribatingt service by day trains with on ft,».\u2022 T\"ropriated to the Post Office of about \u201e tjn IfiDm'b\t____1-,- - em 47 feet long, specially appropriated to the Post Office, for the purpose of sorting mails therein ; the other sirvicesare through bag services, in charge of the railway, without special appropriation of space other than that all the accommodation required should be given \u201d The facts in relation to other roads may be found in the evidence, and taken together, they demonstra e, as the Commissioners think, that the rates p»id on the principal lines in the United States afford no guide as to the rates which .should be paid iu this Province ; and if these lines, taken separately, fail to furnish a safe guide, the Oommissioners think that to attempt to fix a rate bj striking an average in the way suggested by Mr.Brydges, would be palpably erroneous.It is said in the next place, that the compartment assigned to the Post Offce, would contain 15 passengers, and that the department, which oceupies that space, exclusively, should pay a sum equivalent to the fare of 15 passengers for each trip, a sum equal to about $450 per mile of railway per annum.But that argument appears to the Commissioners wholly inadmissible, first, because mail bags are not passengers but freight, and, secondly, because the carriage of the mails dots not as a matter of fact exclude a single passenger.Upon the whole the Commissioners think that mail matter must be regarded as being, what it really is, freight, and that the Post Office department, nquiring a space capable of containing 3 j tons of freight, must pay for that weigh-at the same rule that the public would have to pay for the like accommoda'ion.The quest on then arises, at what rale would the public ba charged for this, or an analogous service It is argued, that mail matter is the most precious description ot freight, and should be paid for at first class, or, as some contend, at double first class rates.But the Commissioners are clear that, for the purpose of fixing a tariff it must be regarded as the least expensive description of freight.It cannot be regarded as first class freight, by reason of its peculiar bulk, or weight or value.Not by reason of its bulk, because the Post Office is charged for all the space it requires, and the postal matter must be contained within that space.Its weigh:, is notoriously, often ridiculously, below the weight paid for.And being carried in charge of ihe servants of the Post Office, the responsibility of the Company, on the ground of peculiar value, is educed to a minimum.In the opinio-of the Oommission-era, mail matter must be regarded as through freight, as to which the Oompany is relieved of every expense beyond the mere cost of moving.The importance of the consideration just adverted to is very oleariy pointed out by Mr.Shmly in his evidence.Being asked at question 458, whether 3J cents per mile, the price paid by the Express Company, per train mile, for the use of a third of a car, agreed with his high estimate as to the carriage of first class freight by ppsaenger trains ; his reply is, \u201cI think it does; they do all their own business, we have no re-sponsibi.ity or labour connected with it except hauling the train over the road,\u201d\u2014now that is a very exact description of the service performed for the Post-office.Regarded therefore as freight, moved at freight train speed, the Commissioners entertain no doubt that five cents per train mile wou'd be a very fair compensation for the space required by the Post-office, namely, one-third of a car, equivalent to a weight of three and one-third tons, upon any of our Canadian Railways Assuming that to be the value of the service performed, at freight train speed, it becomes necessary to determine the amount to be paid for the extra cost of carriage, at passenger speed, which, in this country, is less than double f.eight tram speed.Now Messrs.Holley and Oolburn, in their book upon Railways, estimate the extra cost of operating on passenger trains, at double the speed of a freight train, at forty per cent.Captain Huish, a gentleman of large experi-ence who was not likely to concede any point unfavon able to railways, makes this statement in the case submitted by him on behalf of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway .\u201cThe g ods trade on the Lancaster and Carlisle line, is principally through trade.The waggons are receiv-eu at Carlisle and Lancaster respectively, and are merely passed along the railway at very slow speed and at times suiting, as far as the passage of toe mail trains will allow, in every way the convenience of the Company.Thus the mileage expenses of working tbe slow goods train cannot be by any means so great as that of working th8 a liftk nasSftmrptr troina THw»\t\u2014____ the q lick passenger trains.The difference of expense is estimated, after a most careful investigation by competent parties, at 49 per centum against passenger trains \" L Messrs.Brydges and Shaniy, in their examination beiore this Commission, gave 50 per cent, as the extra coat of double speed.The Commissioners have no wish to press this evidence unduly.They propose, therefore, to add 60 per cent, for quick train and 20 per cent for slow ; and they believe that the amount thus arrived at, namely : six cents per train mile for mixed trains, and eight cents per train mile for quick passenger trains, may be considered a liberal compensation for the service at present required by the Post Office on the ordinary railroads of the Prouince.The Commissioners are of opinion, however, that all the railways in the Province ought not to be placed upon the same footing.They think it just that the great trunk lines, over which the great bulk of the correspondence of the country passes and without which the present postal service could hardly be conducted, should be paid at a higher rate than the unimportant and branch roads, upon which the mail matter might probably, be conveyed, even now, by waggon, with nearly equal convenience, and at.halt the coat paid for railway carriage This principle is universally acknowledged they believe, both in England and the United States and its justice is so apparent as hardly to need illustration.It cannot bs contended, they think, that the Shefford Railway, over which one bundled and twenty pounds of mail matter pass uaily, or the Welland Railway over which one bundled pounds pass or the Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich on which three huodred pounds pass, or the Northern on which five hundred pounds pass daily, should be paid at th t same rate as the Grand Trunk, over the mam portion of which two thousands pounds pass daily, and without which the present business of the Post Office could hardly be conducted.\t^ , Grand Trunk Railway, which runs through the whole length of this country, is biyona all question, the most important line in the Province.Its importance to the Post Office bears no proportion to the price paid for its iservices It is kept open during winter at great cost.Mr.fahanly who had ample means of information, and whose integrity and impartiality entitles his evidence to the utmost attention, says in answer to question 693 : \u201cI do not know of any railway so adversely affacted by climate as the Grand Trunk Railway is, from Kingston eastward.There is no road I knowef I could compare with it in that respect.\u2019\u2019 Then, if the Menai Bridge affords a precedent which can convenient-.ly be foliowei, and the Commissioners think it does so, the Victoria Bridge must be regarded as of stdi greaier importance.Upon all these grounds the Commissioners think that upon the Grand Trunk Road, ten cents per mile, for quick passenger trains, and Bix cents for mixed trains, may be considered fair rates for the use oiits ordinary trains.That this rate cannot be considered too high must be conceded they think, when it is considered that the Postmaster-General ot the United States pays this same road, between the boun dary line and Portland, sixteen cents per train per mile, for a single seryice, and ten cents per train per mile for a double seryice That It cannot be regarded as too low ia they think, equally clear, when the amount paid to the Grand Trunk Oompany by the Express Company at the present moment is considered.Upon tts same priaçîple ihs ÇorniBisgioaers think the Great Western Railway entitled to some advance upon what they have designal ei as the ordinary rates.A very important part of the mail service of the country is performed by that company, although it cannot be said to possess equal claims with the Grand Trunk Company.The Commissioners would therefore suggest nine cents per train mile for quick passenger trains, and six cents for mixed trains, as reasonable rates for the use of the ordinary trains of the Great Western line.On all the other roads in the Province eight cents per train mile for quick passenger trains arid six cents per train mile for mixed trains' may be regarded, the Commissioners think, as a liberal allowance for the use of a post-office car attached to ordinary trains.The spree allotted to the Post Office, at the rates above stated, should be, as heretofore equal in length to one-third of an ordinary baggage car, by the whole width.The space so allotted should be fitted up under the directions of the Postmaster General, and should bs comfortably heated and lighted to bis satisfaction.If further space should becoms necessary it should be paid for at a proportionate rate.\u2019 The Commissioners do not think that any addition should be made to the rates above fixed, either on account of superior accommodation, or on account of the carriage of the mail conductors and other cffiiers of the Post Office as heretofore.Neither do they think that anything should ba deducted for continuity of business.These considerations may fairly be balanced, in the opinion of the Commissioners one against the other.The Commissioners do not propose to make any change either in the bag service or in the special ocean steamer service.The Post Office does not complain of either,\"and the companies are content, and the Commissioners have consequently abstained from interference.Mr.Brunei prepared and laid before the Commissioners certain calculations as to the rates which should be paid by tbe Post Office upon the Grand Trunk, the Great Western, and the Northern Railways ; and the Commissioners are glad to find that the results at which he arrived do not materially differ from those at which they themselves have arrived by a different process of reasoning.Mr.Brunei\u2019s calculations are clear and ingenious ; but the Com- mlSBiuucio arc uuo preparoU to uuuuUo to tho justice of the principle upon which they proceed.The things compared do not seem to them to admit of comparison.Mail matter is freight, and wtieu tbe Post Office Department requires a space capable of containing * three and one mird tons of freight, to be set apart for their exclusive use, the justice of charging them in proportion to the price paid by the public for similar services is apparent.But the argument that because passenger carriages are hauled on the Grand Trenk line, for instance, to a great extent empty, and are paid for by the public accordingly, therefore the Post Office carriage of which the Department have the exclusive use, and which must therefoie be regarded as always full should only be paid for in proportion to those which were hauled, for the most part empty, seems hardly tenable.The Commissioners think that the Post Office Department, having paid for a double service with Post Office car on any road, should be entitled to send mail bags, in charge of the Company\u2019s servants by any other train run over such road for the purpose of the Oompany.With respect to the enquiry directed into the adequacy of payment provided by the order in Council of September, 1858, in the case of the Grand Trunk Railway, and of any other Railways which may have formally protested against the sum allowed, as insufficient, the Commissioners do not feel any doubt.That the power reserved to Your Excellency in Council to fix the rates to be paid for Railway Postal Service, is a quasi-judicial power, aud should be exercised accordingly, is so clear in ilself, and has been so explicitly declared by Your Excellency in Council, and by successive Ministers of the Crown, that it does not seem to the Commissioners to be now open to discussion.Mr Galt, then Finance Minister, made a report on the 1st October, 1861, which report was subsequently approved by the Governor in Council, in which he states : \u201c As regards the claim for an increased Postal subsidy, His Excellency in Council has, by law, the power of determining the rate of remuneration tor all railways in Canada, and the present rate of payment has been settled at a consideiable reduction upon the rate first agreed upon by the Government, and subject to the protest of all the railways in the Province- The reservation of the power to the Goven-ment could only have been in the belief by Parliament that it would be exercised fairly, as the intention of the Legislature never could have been to compel service for the public Without adequate remuneration.\u201d The Hon.Mr.Mowatt, in his late report, whilst Postmaster General, says ; « The authority which the Governor in Council has to exercise in disposing of this matter is quasi-judicial;\u201d and there are many other statements to the same same purpose.But it ia very clear from the evidence that the Order in Council of September, 1858, by which the rate previously paid to all was fixed was au exparte Order, made without giaiug to any railway company interested in such decision an opportunity of adducing evidence, and being heard on the subject of such remuneration.Such an order was not in any just sense a judicial exercise of the authority vested in the Governor in Council.And as the rate then fixed was notin the opinion of the Commissioners a just rate as applied to the Grand Trunk Railroad, the Commissioners are of opinion that, as to that Oompany, the rate now fixed should date back to Septemder, 1858.The Commissioners forbear to dwell upon the long delay which has arisen in the settlement of the rate to be paid to the Grand Trunk Railway Oompany.It was perhapsjunavoidable, but it was no doubt very prtjudical to the creditors of the Company.With respect to the Great Western and the Northern Railway Companies ths only other railway companies which have made claim for past services some difficulty arises from the use of the word < formal\u2019 protest in the Commission.It cannot be said that there has been any formal\u2019 protest, on the part of either company.But the Commissioners do not apprehend that Your Excellency in Oonncil intended that the expression should be strictly construed.It the matter can be considered as properly open they think that, upon the evidence, both companies may be aousidered as having complained of the order of 1858, and they are clear that in the case of the Great Western Oompany the matter does not admit of doubt.They would suggest therefore that the rates now fixed should date back, as to both to Sep.temberl858.It is hardly necessary perhaps that the Commissioners should advert to their separate report sometime since laid before yonr Excellency, but having again careft lly considered the whole mat ter, they still adhere to the opinion therein expressed, All which is respectfully submitted.(Signed) WM HUME BLAKE.CHAS.D.DAY.^\tGWWI0K9TEED.Quebec, 29th March, 1865, gram from New York, SterlingExehange ruled a* 91 per cent premium for gold.Gold opened a 129}
