and that, upon, from and after a day to ba mimed in the proolamaiion, su h mad or bridge shall cease ri> be under the mansgernent and eon*ro! of the Minister, and no tolls shall thereafter be levied thereon under ths authority of the said Act And further, that any Poblic roed or bridge de elared, as aferestid, to be no longer under the management of the Minister, shall be undsr the oeetrol of, and shall be maintained and kept in repair by the municipal or other authorities of the locality, and the Road Officers thereof, in like manner with ether Public Works and bridges therein, nnder their oontrol.Now Know Ye that, under the authoritv, and in pursuance of the above in part reoited Statute, We do hereby proclaim and dealare that the Public Work hereunder mentioned, that is to say: a certain Swirg Bridge ereo ed and ouilt at the expense el ¦he late Province of Canada, over and aorors a certain stream called Kettle-Creek, and being adjacent to the harbor of Port Stanley, In '.be County of El«tn, in Our Province of Ontario, and which s& ranee and fortified by relt-conceit.Devoid o roas->n, it Is hardly amen .ble to reason.But mi liams who won d listen unmoved to appe-le based on Justice and Humanity can be stirred by farts which affect their own internal and safeiy.The naked truth (hat every Southern State reconstructed on the White basis is to-day a Rebel State\u2014shaped and ruled by men who execrated Lincoln's reluctant and tsrdy resistance to ibe Rebe lion as a causeless and criminil aggression, and profoundly rejoiced over Hull Run as tbeir vict« ry\u2014will prove invincible, if we can but bring it home to tbe apprehension of every loyal voter.There Is no paramount question of good faith or gratitude to toe Blacks.Tbeir votes are as n cessary to the preponderance of bite loyalty as to tbeir own protection and security.Reconstruct tbe S^utk on the W\u2019bite basis, and ev-ry one of tbe fifteee States which held slaves, in 1840 will be intensely, overwhelmingly Copper bead thenceforth and ev-rmore.Allow to-day tbe pies that the Blacks art- ignorant and degraded, and those whom yon thereby clothe with power wJi teke good ears that the p ra shall be as valid and well-grounded a century hence as it now is Public Education and Civil K ghts for the Freedmen can only be achieved and maintained through the ballet \" We are for Negro buffer ge\u2014the «eny tk>p oaf.fered in Asie Orieant,\" was the inscription OB a banner borne in a late Conservative or Démocratie procession in Balriueie : and the spirit whioh dio ated that avowal is sti 1 rampant in the 9 utb.But f rwbat ia erigmatiied mb Military Despotism, it won d daily avenge by outrage am infliction wh*t it deems negro treachery te the Southern cause.Trb Tribuns has declined to ^e lured or turned aside from tbe Main Question.It has persistently refused to saell the clamor for vengeance on the defeated rebels, wh> ther by execution or by cob-fiscatioB ; sad one o: its strong reasons fer this course is a oonvioti' a 'bat no drop ot Rebel blood cou d becooly, deliberately shed without essentially clouding the prospect of securing tbe right of Suffrage to the B acks.Defying the madness of passion a* d the blindoers \u2022 f short-sighted misconception, it has demanded Keoonstrne-tion on the basis of Universal Amnesty with impartial Suffrage in perfect consciousness of the feci that it thereby alienated thousands who had been its ssalous su; porters and life-long patrons.The hour of its complete vindication cannot be far distant.At for tbe man who is to be tbe chosen standard-bearer of tbe Republican host in the impending contest, while *e avow our de.iterate preference of Chief Justice Cha-e as the able» and most eminent of our living statesmen, Thk Taiatnr* will render a hear v.cheerful, determined support to Gen.GranL or Stnetor W. olfax, shonld he be nominated and supported on a platf rm which affirms and upholds the equal political as well as civil rights «-f all citl-ssns ot tbe Republic.We do cot contemplate as possible the support by Republicans of any candidate who does not stand on his platform.Aad we do not apprehend tb -t the candidates who, in onr approaching strug.la, shall represent genuine Lemoc.aoy in opp»si i- n to the meanest phase of Aristocracy oan be beaten if proper means be sjstemstically taken, as tbey must and will be, to enlighten and arouse the American people.We will tbiik such friecds ss believe that T> B TatBURB will prove an efficient i tbe Repuhlioaa chief than those which have oolore the advtoea of ear regular correspondents at Vera Crus and the Capital.Another correspondent acoonipaaied the first Nstional expeditii n to Alaska, Walruesim, or whatever our splin er of tbe North Pole may be cal ed.and is now report! g on the aspects and oipabili iet of that ohMy région.B,/ard Taylor is writing ns in his own vein from Central Europe, wbi e ab'e correspond» n:a report to as from Colorado, Idaho, Montano, Ao, mors opionsly than we can find room to publish.Onr Reviews of Bonks end Literary Department are in charge of one oftberi^e.-t American échoira ;

not important.The Montreal Gazette says:\u2014\u201cWe regret to learn that the movement to export another hundred thousand dollars of silver coin, with the view of still further relieving the dis count, is in great danger of falling through, owing to the want of sufficient support ; many parties who believe that the Government nleasure will remove the evil, having declined to give any further aid to the movement.We think this is a mist tken policy on the part of those interested, as the action of the Government cannot, under any circumstances, be immediate, in view of the contingencies on which the new currency bill is mu le to depend.Mr.Weir informs us that a further effort will be made during the present week, to secure the quantity required, when, should this effort prove unsuccessful, the movement will he closed for the present.\u201d Ottawa correspondents mention the arrival of deputations of honkers, including Mr.Stevenson, of the Quebec Bank, Mr.Wood aide, of the Royal Canadian Bank, Mr.Sache, of Molson\u2019s Bank, Mr.Vexina, of La Banque Nationale, (Quebec) ; Mr.Lemoine, of the Bank of New Brunswick, and others, who were to hold a meeting to consult upon the beet banking policy to be recommended to the Government.It was rumored that the arrangement which the Government desires to effect with aho\tis to the following effect :\u2014 That the Banks will be obliged to deposit with the treasury three-fourths of the value in gokl of bonds received by them, and give good security for the other fourth.This it would appear is objectionable to the bankers, and many have dread that a Government inspection would be the consequence of any such arrangement.The Finance Minister's Insurance Com* panies Bill has stirred up all those institutions no little.The Montreal Gazettes Ottawa correspondent says ;\u2014 Another deputation of insurance agents, headed by Mr.Simpson, of the London and Lancashire, who is vigorously advocating a very material modification of Mr.Rose's bill, arrived up this a.in.They held that if the bill is passed in its present shape, fifteen first* class British and fourteen Americau offices will be driven out of Canada.It appears that the American offices are will-ingto deposit from $100,000 to $200,000 worth of their own securities, if accepted by Govern-ment, os a pledge of good faith in carrying out their engagements, but that the Minister of Finance insists, on the other hand, that the deposit should be in Dominion stock.The Sew York State law forbids Sew York \u2018offices to invest any portion of their funds in a foreign country, and if the bill, therefore, becomes law, the Sew York offices must retire or forfeit their charters.The other American offices doing business in Canada are understood to be prepared to com* ply with a moderate progressive investment law, commensurate with the business they do in the Dominion, but iu consequence of tbu great difference iu exchange between the Unit-cd States and Canada, it would press hard on them if they were now forced to invest in Dominion stock.It is further claimed by some of the agents here, that if the bill passes in its present shape, the whole insurance business of the country will be thrown into the hands of six or seven of the larger British offices, while, if the amount of deposit was reduced to $50,000, smaller offices would come in under the provisions of the bill, stringent and onerous as they are.It is understood that Mr.Rose advocates the full text of his measure aud declines to amend itin any form.It was to have been brought up for a second reading to-day, aud will be certain to give rise to a great deal of discussion as many of the smaller offices\u2014British and Americau\u2014have a good many friends in the House.The bill will, probably, be modified con siderably.We published in our last issue the sub stance of a communication to a contempo rary, professing to give reliable information touching two of the routes proposed for the Intercolonial Railway, the Frontier and Cen tral, ami observations in favor of the selec tion of either, in preference to the Robin son.The following paragraphs, conveying interesting information on the Robinson Route are extracted, from the Majors Re port, first submitted to the British Govorn ment.After describing four of the routes more or less in favor when he made his port, the Major speaks thus of the second the one recommended by himself Cummcnciugat Halifax and runuiag to Truro at the head of tin* Bay of Fundy, thence over the Cumberland Mountains to Amherst, then along the coast from Bay Verte to Shediac thence by a north-westerlcy course, crossing the Rivers Richibucto and Miramichi, above the tlow of the tide, so as not to interfere with the navigatiou.Then by the valley of the North-western Miramichi to Bathurst, on the Bay Chaleurs, along the cost of this buy to the Rcstigouche River, aud by it aud the valley of the Rive Mctapedia to the St.Lawrence, aud by the right bunk of the St.Lawrence to Quebec.The distance by this route would be as ful lows :\u2014 Miles .\t55 cy 26 74 56 48 Dr.Parker, in moving for copies of any representation addressed to His Excellency by members of this House, respecting the marks of royal favor which Her Majesty has been pleased to confer upon them, and of all despatches on the same subject to or from the Colonial Secretary, paid a well deserved compliment to the Hon.Mr.Cartier, in the following terms :\u2014\u201c While admitting that the member for Kingston deserved the honor he received, he thought Mr.Cartier, who more than any other public man had jeopardized his position to carry Confederation, and who formed the keystone of the arch on which the success depended, was equally deserving of the highest honor the Crown had bestowed in the matter.As the case stood, an invidious distinction had been made, and he expected the correspondence would throw some light on how this had ooeurretl.When the correspondence came down, the House would be in a position to say whether it ought to address the Crown with a view to respectfully suggest that the injustice which had been committed ought to be redressed.\u201d Halifax to Truro.Truro to Amherst and Bay Verte.Bay Verte to Shediac.Bhediae to Miramichi River.Miramichi River to Bathurst.Bathurst to the Eel River, near

have, no doubt, observed, by the intelligence in our local columns, that, at a recent meeting of the Lower Canada Agricultural Society, it was resolved that :\u2014\u201c Whereas the Corporation of the city of Quebec has not indue time ful \u201c filled the condition impesed for holding .u the Provincial Agricultural and Industrial Exliibition in that city, be it resolved that 44 the next Provincial Exhibition be held in \u201c the city of Montreal, on the 14th day of \u201c September next and following days, pro \u201c Tided that the said city of Montreal, in aid of the said Exhibition, shall subscribe a u sum of not less than $4,000.\u201d Now, we must say that the members of the Council of the Agricultural Society have shewn, in this matter, infinite forbearance, or perhaps we should say inexhaustible patience, so far aa the Corporation of Quebec is concerned.It would certainly be a vast advantage to the city to have the Provincial and Industrial Exhibition of the Province of Quebec for the year 1 $68 held here.Almost every clam of the community would feel its beneficial results, more or less.Every person in trade or business would profit\u2014according to the nature of his business\u2014by the holding of the Exhibition here.A very large number of people would necessarily be attracted to the city\u2014partly for curiosity, partly for pleasure, and partly on business connected with the show.The circulation of .ready cash caused by the influx of such a number and variety of visitors cannot be over-rated.People in a strange city, whether on pleasure or business, usually spend money freely ; and we do not see why the number of visitors to the exhibition of 1868 should be any exception to an exceedingly general rule.Montreal was crowded to such an extent in September, 1865, on the occasion of the holding of the exhibition in that city, that its hotel accommodation was very severely tested ; why should not the same inducement bring together, in the ancient capital, an equal number of connoisseurs and interested parties ?Wo warned the City Fathers, early in the spring of 1867, when propositions were again made by the Board of Agriculture, that unless they distinguished themselves by unusually prompt action, they would allow the exhibition business to slip through their fingers ; and.indeed, we are only surprised that the Board did not come to a final decision in the matter long ago.If it be not too Late, we look for action on the part of the Corporation.If we can have the Provincial Exhibition here, next autumn, without the adjunct of another special tax, let us hare it by all means.We trust the matter will be Total distance by this route.635 This, lor the sake of reference, may he called the Halifax and Eastern or Bay Chaleurs Route, through New Brunswick to Quebec.As it will be seen in the end, that only one of the lines, viz , the second, has been explored and carried out successfully from its terminus on the Atlantic quite through to Quebec, it may he perhaps considered superfluous to enter upon the discussion of River lines, but the object to he gained by so doing, is to show that so much has been done, and is known of the country as to render further explorations for new lines unnecessary, because, if completed, they would not be likely to be recommended in preference to the one which will be proposed for adoption.Among the obstacles to proposed lines through the centre of New Brunswick are the following : The fourth obstacle is the brood and extensive range of highlands which occupies nearly the whole space iu the centre of New Brunswick, from the Miramichi River, north to the Restigoucbe.Some of these mountains rise to an altitude exceeding 2,000 feet.The Tobique River runs through them, forming a deep valley or trough, which must be crossed by the direct line, aud increases greatly the difficulty of passing by them.The lowest point of the ridge overlooking the Tobique River, at whichauy line of railway must pass, is 1,216 feet above the sea.Then follows a descent to the river of 796 feet iu 18 miles, and the summit level on the opposite ridge or crest between the Tobique and Rcstigouche wateis, is 920 feet above the sea, or a rise of 500 feet above the point of crossing at the Tobique water.These greet summit levels, which must be surmounted, form a serious objection to this route.The Eastern line, by the coast, avoids this chaiu altogether.The greatest summit level along it will not be above .368 feet, while the distance by each, from the Province Hue to Bay Verte to the Rcstigouche River (the northern limit of New Brunswick) will be, as nearly as possible, the same, there being only a difference of one mile in these two routes through this province.The report continues thus, at intervals : The distance across, in a direct line, from the coast of Nova Scotia to the St Lawrence, has been stated at about 360 miles, forming the difficult and unfavorable portion of the line.When the St.Lawrence mountains are passed, then the tendency of the strata and courses north-easterly aud south-westerly becomes as favorable for the remaining 200 miles along that river as it was before adverse.The general character of the ground between f the St.Lawrence River and the mountains, is that of irregular teiraccs or brood valleys, rising one above another by sleep short banks, having the appearance as if the river had at some former period higher levels for its waters.The streams run along these valleys parallel with tbo course of the St.Lawrence, until, meeting some obstruction, they turn suddenly off, and find their way over precipices and falls to the main river.One most important object to be attained by the construction of a Railroad is the settlement of the publie lands, and the encouragement of emigration from the Mother Country.As hearing very strongly upon this point in the choice of the best direction for the line I subjoin the following extract taken from Bou-chette's Work on Canada, vol.1, page 331.It is a quotation made by him from *\u2022 The Commissioners\u2019 Report of 1821 \u201d :\u2014 \u201c The Bay of Gaspe, and particularly the Bay des Chaleurs, are susceptible of the most improved agriculture.For the establishment of emigrants no part in Canada offers such immediate resources of livelihood as may be derived from the fisheries.It is a fact worthy of notice, that in the year 1816, when the lowci parts of the Province were afflicted with a famine from the destruction of the harvest by frost, no such inconvenience was experienced at Paspebiac, nor at any other plat e within the level tract above mentioned.\" The tract alluded to here is not clearly defined by the quotation, bnt it is supposed to mean the whole district along the south shore of the Bay Chaleurs.This tends to show the effect produced by the vicinity of the sea, in moderating the temperature and saving the crops from untimely frosts.In this respect, therefore, the Line No.2 has an important advantage over the one through the central and more elevated land of New Brunswick.As the interior is approached, and the distance from, as well as the elevation above, the sea increases, the danger to crops from cold nights and early frosts also increases.In the Madawaska Settlement, and on the Upper St.John River, great failures of crops have occurred from this cause, and wheat and potatoes are very liable to be destroyed.From the bond of Petitcodiac to the St.Lawrence, a distance of upwards of 300 miles, food the labourers am< othcifl engaged on the line.This disadvautago is not shared by the second route, which can be approached iu numerous places along the Gulf shore by means of bays and navigable rivers.The direct Line No.4 will not have such advantages to present to settlers as the second.On the contrary, if adopted, it might be found necessary to incur expenses for the establishment of small communities along the Hue to repair and keep it open.The facilities for external as scellas internal communication, aud other advantages arising from commerce aud the fisheries, which will he develop'd by the Eastern line (aud entirely wanting along the Direct Route), will, it is fully expected, make its vicinity eagerly sought tor by settlers, and that it will, in the course of no very great length of time, lead to the extension of that long-contiuucd village which now exists with but little exception from Quebec to Metis (200 miles), from the shores of the St.Lawrence to the Atlantic Ocean.The result of this season's labors went to show that the best, if not the only, route that would be likely to be practicable, would be by the North-west Miramichi to Bathurst, and then along the Bay Chaleurs.That part of the Direct Route (Nos.3 aud 4), viz , the line from the Bend of Petitcodiac by Boistown to the Rcstigouche and the St.Lawrence, crossing the range of New Brunswick mountains, having to surmount two summit levels of 1,216 and 920 feet, causing heavy rodes, and increasing materially the cost of transport ; passing through a totally unsettled aud wilderness country ; involving greater difficulties in the transport of the materials necessary lor its construction, and supplying food to tho laborers engaged in its formation ; excluding the towns and settlements on the Gulf shore, and so preventing the development of the vast resources of the country to be derived from the fisheries ; aud also inflicting a serious loss to the interests of the mainline, and to the intended branch from the City of St.John iu New Brunswick, is, not withstanding its one great advantage of diminished distance, recommended most strong ly to be rejected.And the Route No.2, from Halifax to Truro, at the head of the Bay of Fuudy, passing over the C.'ohequid Hills, and on or near to Amherst aud Bay Verte, crossing from thence over the Rivers Richibucto and Miramichi, above the flow of the tide, so as not to interfere with their navigation ; then by the valley of the North-west Miramichi and Nipislguit River to Bathurst ; then along the shore of the Bay Chaleurs to the Restigoucbe River ; then by the valley of the Metupediac over to or near to the River St.Lawrence ; then by tho route as shown in the General Plan No.1, along the hanks of the St.Lawrence to Riviere dn Loup, and from thence continued through either the second or third concessions along the river until it approaches Point Levi, is recommended sis the best direction for the Proposed Trunk Line of Railway from an Eastern Port in Nova Scotia, through New Brunswick, to Quebec.It combines iu theyreatest degree the following important points :\u2014 1st.The immediate' prospect of direct, as well as the greatest amount of remuneration for the expenditure to be incurred ; tbu opening up a large field for provincial improvements, for the settlement of emigrants, and by affording the opportunity iu addition to internal of external communication, by means of the Gulf of St.Lawrence and the Bay of Chaleurs, it will tend to develop iu the highest degree the commerce and the fisheries of the Province of New Brunswick.2nd.Passing along tho sea coast fora great distance and capable of being approached at several points by bays or navigable rivers, it possesses the greatest facilities for construction, tending to reduce the expense, and by its more favorable grades, also the cost of working and subsequent maintenance.3rd.By passing over a less elevated country, and at the least distance from the sea, there will be less interruption to be apprehended from climate, whilst the more favorable grades will increase the efficiency and rapidity of intercourse.4th.Passing at the greatest possible distance from the United States, it possesses in the highest degree the advantage to be derived from that circumstance of security fiom attack in cose of hostilities.Soon after (Kissing tho valley of the Metape-diac, the great obstacle of the St.Lawrence chain of mountains is got over, and the line may range away towards Quebec, having, however, occasionally a river or ravine to cross, whose passage requires consideration.Through the whole of New Brunswick, lor 234 miles, and through Lower Canada os far us Riviere du Loup, 167 miles, there will be found along the line abundance of timber and stone (including limestoue)of tbe best quality for building purposes.There will he found also, in New Brunswick more especially, abundance of gravel for the superstructure.The total distance from Halifax to Quebec will be by this line about 635 miles, the estimated cost of which, together with contingencies, is placed by Major Robinson at, in round numbers, $25,000,000.LATEST FBOM MONTREAL.ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE LATE FIRE.VRIGUTFUL ACCIDENT.FOOT-RACSS BETWEEN REPORTERS.THE MARKETS, Jçc., (Specially Reported for the Morning Chronicle.)

Railway for from $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 ; but these are merely fancy or speculative bids, upon which in the present state of our information no reliance can be placed.We see that low tenders for the construction of the Robinson line have also begun to be talked about.Mr.Burpee, a New Brunswick Engineer, has, it is reported at Ottawa, offered to build and equip this road for $13,732,000, equivalent to $31,000 per mile.There can be no doubt the Central Lines, however shorter, will cost much more per mile, while open to other disadvantages not chargeable to the Northern.The ball and chain service is to be re-established at St.Catherines, the prisoners in the gaol to be compelled to work on the public streets.The New York Times/ Mexican correspondent says that \u201c a great deal of excitement was created at Vera Cruz by tbe recent departure of the English mail steamer Danube, Capt.West.The Custom House authorities had received information that a shipment of money by this steamer set forth as an export of $20,000 actually consisted of 20,000 ounces, or $320,000.The captain of the port immediately proceeded aboard the ship and demanded to examine the packages and ascertain the truth.Capt.West refused to allow this proceeding, stating he had signed bills of lading, that he was therefore responsible for the safe-keeping of the packages, and that he would not allow them to be interfered with.The captain of the port, after using ever/means to accomplish his purpose, finally informed Capt.Wes^ that he would return to the shore and consult higher authorities, and that to prevent the surreptitious sailing of the ship he should take the pilot with him.Capt.West immediately order-rl his engineer to put on full steam, and i^ooA.ia

elevation, would tell heavily against tho cost of the Central and in favor of tho Northern route.Photographic.\u2014A ^tastefully constructed glass case has been placed on exhibition at the door of

coming season between Quebec and Pictou, touching weekly at Rimouski, Gaspe Basin, Miramichi, and Shediac ; also, that the Government were not satisfied with the arrangement with the Quebec Gulf Steam ship Company iu the performance of their service last year, one of their vessels having broken down, and had consequently provided that there should be three steamships instead of two as heretofore.He had occasion to be lieve, owing to the stronger terms of the new contract, that the arrangement would now work satisfactorily, and that the public would bo far better served.Tho Gulf Company had also offered to place a vessel on the Buie des Chaleurs for the purpose of making connection with Richibucto and Dalhousie, hut the sum they asked for the service was too large, aud the oiler could not be entertained.Whenever an opportunity offered, however, the Government would endeavor to provide for the service of these ports.Senator MITCHELL also explained that the Local Government had made arrange-gemcuts for the service la-tween Shediac and Miramichi, touching, lie was understood to say, at Richibucto.After some remarks by Senator WARK on the necessity of having frequent steam communication with Richibucto at the head of the Baie des Chaleurs aud freight laid down at that port on the same terms as Shediac and Miramichi, The Senate adjourned at 9 30 until Thursday to-morrow

publication of fuller details cannot fail to gratify many of our readers.Our contemporary, the Free Press, tells us that tho sum of nearly $900, towards a testimonial, was subscribed, and then tho question arose as to the best disposal of the money.Upon mature deliberation, it was determined to devote a portion of tho funds to the purchase of a silver salver\u2014the balance to be invested in a yearly scholarship for the Collegiate Institute, now Hellmuth College, to be called the \u201c Hellmuth Scholarship.\u2019\u2019 At four o'clock on Friday last, the diiiiug-hall of the College was thrown open to the subscribers to the testimonial mid others interested in the proceedings; aud about half an hour afterwards the Deau, accompanied by F.W.Thomas, Esq., W.Simpson Smith, Esq , Mayor of Loudou, Major Evans and others, entered the hall amid hearty applause.Mr.Simpson Smith read a most appropriate address, the concluding paragraph of which was ns ful lows :\u2014\" We trust this

State for Canada, and briefly recapitulated the provisions, being the same as explained lust session.Mr.JON ES (Leeds and G run ville, Q.) thought it would hendmissable in view of his economic ideas, if the public lands in Ontario were whol ly in the bauds of the Premier of that Province Hu contends that the expenses of the Public Departments of the Dominion were greater tliiiu those of the whole of the United States Fourteen Departments were altogether out of proportion to our resources.The salaries of the heads of Departments were not so much to be complained of as expenses connected there with.There were more employees for manag ing public affairs with three millions of people than there were in the United States for thirty three million.He was determined when tho proper time came to move for a reduction of the present expensive system.Mr SPROAT, (N.U Bruce), advocated the converting of Indian Lands into money trust, instead of holding them usât present.Mr.LANGEV1N replying said: Indian Lands being much scattered could not be so economically managed ns if all were in one-spot.The Government of Ontario hail enough ou their hands without the Indian Lauds.In reference to M r.Sprout's suggestion, ho said the Government did not own these lands, they were the property of Indians, held ¦ in trust by the Government, and they must be honorable to their trust.Mr.DOUION, (Hochelaga, Q.), strongly contended that the Government should endeavor to commute the lauds with Indians.The present statu of affairs was iu many instances disgraceful to civilization.At C'uughnuwaga they were always fighting with themselves aud white men about timber, Ac.At present uo roads were made or improvements effected.Mr.MACKENZIE (Lnmbton, 0.) thought the Indians should be removed from the vicinity of large towns.He was opposed to the conversion of the lands into money, as that would soou find its way into the hands of others.Mr.DORION would locate such as would become settlers.Mr.MeDOUGALL (N.R.Lanark, O.) re-minded him that during the time they were colleagues in the Government ho (Mr.McD.) made adetermiued efiort to bring the ludians of Caughtiuwaga to agree to such a settlement, but there were so many differences of opinion amongst them that it was found nothing could be done unless the Government dealt with the lands without their consent.Indian lands could not be «transferred to the provinces, as the constitution gave exclusive control to the Dominion.The bill was read a second time and referred to Committee of the Whole forthwith, and reported with a trilling amendment.Third reading fixed for Friday.DEPARTMENT OF MARINE AND FISHERIES.Sir JOHN A.MACDONALD moved the second reading of the act for the organization of the Department of Marine aud Fisheries.Mr.HOLTON (Chateauguay, Q ) desired a general discussion on the organization of the departments before tlie second reading of this bill for the creation of a new one.Sir JOHN A.MACDONALD consented for tlie bill to stand over, as he desired his colleagues, Messrs.Tilley ami Howland, to be present when tlie discussion took place.ACT FOR CONTINUANCE OF PARLIAMENT.On motion of Sir JOHN A.MACDONALD, an act for the continuance of Parliament, notwithstanding the demise of the Crown, was read a second time.EXTRADITION BILL.Sir JOHN A.MACDONALD moved the se com! reading of the bill respecting the treaty between Her Majesty and the United Status, for the apprehension and surrender of certain offenders.It was merely rc-euactiug a law which had prevailed in Canada, hut not iu New Brunswick or Nova Scotia,\u2014tlie only change being that besides duly authorized magistrates, affidavits may b«\u2018 sworn before Com-missiouers appointed for the purpose by the Governor.Second readiug carried.Mr.CHAMBERLAIN (Missisquoi, Q) sug gested that iu view of doubts which had arisen in some coses as to the right of a magistrate, before whom preliminary examination was held, to take evidence which might tend to explain or diminish the crime, or show that the case did not come within tho Treaty, it might he advisable not to go into Committee till Friday, to see if some provision for this being done could be introduced.Refusal to hear evidence of tins kind nearly led to the surrender of the slave, Anderson, which would ever have been looked upon as a disgrace SirJ.JA.MACDONALD pointed out that such provision could not be introduced in this bill ; it was merely for giving effect to the Imperial Act.But Mr.Doriun also desiring that the Committee should not be token till Friday, he agreed to the suggestion.The House then went into Committee on the resolution moved by Mr.Rose for tho appropriation of $30,000 per annum for five years Irom 1st July, 1867, for a Geological Survey.It was impossible to secure proper officers, and they might even lose the services of Sir Win.Logau unless this was done.Some discussion ensued, in which several gentlemen highly praised Sir W.Logan, and expressed their opinion upon the importance of his continuing and extending his researches to the Lower Provinces.AFTER RECESS.Mr.CAMERON (South Huron) argued that it was Sir W.Lagan\u2019s investigation that led to Report of tho Committee to bo received on I Friday next.In Committee of tho Whole, on the resolutions on Currency, Mr.Street in the chair, Mr.Rose explained the resolutions.Mr.HOLTON considered it exceedingly unwise to change the Nova Scotia currency, when there was almost a certainty of haviug to make a change in a year or two, when th«* bill now before Congress had become law.He thought the matter ought to be left iu statu
