to make a place for the Hansard staff on tbe floor of tbe House, and place tbe whole arrangement in that connection under tbe management of a Committee on Piin log.Hon.Mr.GEOFFRION preasnted a report of (be Minister of Internal Revenue.Mr.FRECHETTE said,as it was the first time be spoke in this Houae, be took it upon himself to speak in his native tongue, that beautiful language of France, of which every Canadian should be proud.It was with much pleasure (bat he movtd the address in reply to tbe Speech from tbe Throne.He took occasion to say, in the most absolute manner, that be bad full confidence in tbe present administration.Since their advent to power they had acccppiichid the principal reforms which they had advocated.Sometimes suclr reforms were difficult and and when party came into power they too oiten forgot tbe principles they advocated when in Opposition\u2014they born the Idol they once worshiped.Such had not been the caae with the prevent Government, strong as a party and strong in their principles, they had put tbe axe of Reform into the forest of abuse.That was the reason why they enjoyed to such a largo extent tbe confidence of the country.Some reforms yet remained to be accomplished, and among them was the creation of a Supreme Court.The want of each a (ourt had long been felt, for withont oar Constitution, frame i at tbe Confederation of the Provinces, was incomplete.He bad no intention to refiect discredit on the Privy Connell of England, which would still be most useful to us in settling Constitutional questions With rrgaid to propoetd Copyright Law, he held that if (here was to be protection in any kind of labor, it certainly should be intellectual labor, and the Government deserved the thanks of sll literaiy men for this measure.Ou the subject of Immigra loo, be remarked that the time had now passed when men thought it was impossible to retain our own people within our borders.UU desire wag that we should all be united\u2014that those who had gone should come back as soon as posai, hie\u2014that we might become ono great nation, under one great flag.He congratulated the Government on the success which bad attended their adminiatraiic n pf affairs in the North-West.They bad enforced the law in places where disorder had, until recently, prevailed.Wi b reference to tbe North-West troubles, he raid that, as the Government had promised to bring down the doenmeuts relating thereto, he would not fotm any judgment on the question nntil he had seen them ; but what he expected was a complete settlement of the difficulties which had so long troubled Manitoba.He concluded by bopiog that, as Canada had weathered the criais which bad so injured tbe neighboring country, we would also pass successfully through all political crisis whiçh might arise in the fatore.Mr.COLIN McDOUGALL seconded tbe address, craving the indulgence of tbe House while directing attention to topics adverted to in tbe Speech.He adverted to tbe fact that the House had been called at a season which it could not be dis( uted, was the best for all the members.He thought it must be a source of satisfaction to the people of the country to know that tbe organization of the North-west police had had the excellent effect of suppressing the traffic in intoxicate lag drink among the Indians,\u2014A traffic both ruinons to the red man as to tbe whole human race ; and that tbe police bad been instrumental in reducing disorder to order.It was also gratifying to know that a treaty with the Indians of the North-west had been bap-pily consummated which would enable them to invite immigration to those extensive territories.The establishment of a Supreme Court was also a subject of vast importance ; laws were dead unless there were Courts to give effect to them, and such a Court as that proper ad was needed in a constitution like Canada\u2019s.It was necessary to have a Supreme Cfourt to define limits of respective jurisdictions, so that the rights oi this Parliament might not be invaded and tbe rights of tbe Local Legislatures respected.He next referred to tbe subject of Insolvency, and thought that some bankrupt law was absolutely necessary.Profiling by tbe experience of the pas*, he bad no doubt that tbe present law wai of great advantage to the whole community.He thought a law would be framed which would protect honest traders under misfortune, and give them a chance of starting afresh, while the dishonest traders should receive no protection.Ho believed a ch' àper mode of dealing with insolvent estates might be devised.Another topic to which their attention was directed was the Canada Pacific Railway, which was a very great enterprise.It might not be a snccess for many yeavs, though it was to be hoped it would ultimately become so.He was glad to know that the undertaking was being prosecuted with vigwr by the present administration.He spoke of tha eSocle of tho -enterprias when completed in eloquent terms and at considerable length.The speaker next referred to that part of Address relate ug to ibe tear of Hie Excellency tbe Governor General through the Dominion, which be felt sure woqld have a very beneficial effect.Tbe subject of immigration was next taken np by Mr.MéDongall, He raid promote further increase.He wished tdaew\u2019 investigation, aud declared that ba bad care-the people of every clime and country coar ing to Canada and feeling that in it they had a home where there Was no dlu< rtruiuation as to rundor nationality, where they would find equal rights for ali, aud feel lh»t they wore citiaeua of the country and part of its people With re gard to the diW' ulty in the relations of the Dominion and British Columbia, hr.was happy they were dissipated.Tbe question of the North West troubles was also a difficult one, but the good judgment and liberality of the House would enable it to work o»t such a solution as would not br derogatory to us as a people, while at the same time the law was vindicated.He referred briefly to.the controverted elections and other topics mentioned In the Addreès.Sir JOHN A.MACDONALD tken reviewed he Speech from the Throne, declaring Üfo bill of fere a meagre one, and not qualified to satisfy a hungry Parliament.He would not move any amendment, believing that th?system should be adhered to which prevailed in the Imperial Parliament, of agreeing to it as a matter of form without undue delay, so that the House might proceed at once to business.It was a matter for congratulation, as said by the seconder of the Address, if the Ministry was popular in the country, but he would leave it to tbe House to say whether the recent elections bad proved this to be a feet or not.He expressed pleasure that the North-weet police force had been or ganised, but asked that the Government should furnish the House with a detailed report.He hoped tfce military force of that country would not be reduced to ibe diftur-hance of the feeliug of security now t xisting.Hu referred to the treaty with the Saltenux aud Crue Indiana, and hoped that it would bo laid before Parliament.He desired Ji to be understood that all such treaties should he submitted to tbe Hous-j for conaidi lation and approval.He referred to tbe Governor General's tour to the West, and paid him a high compliment for ability and fit ness\tfor the position, especially as display» d in bis speeches at Toronto and\telsewhere.The creation of Hupreme Court bad engaged the attention of the late Government, which considered thu creation ot a satisfactory Court a difficult matter, chit fly on account ot the Province of Quebec, as the Minister of Justice came from that Province.He hoped they would overcome that difficulty.He referred to the insolvency and immigration policy, of which be approved in a general way, witbont com-titing himself as to details, and concluded by calling attention to the fact that no mention ot tbe Reciprocity Treaty was made in the Speech from the Tyrone, which he considered unfeir.\t.Mr.MACKENZIE hoped the good quality of the dishes would make up for tbe alleged meagre bill of fare.In respeut to the Norths West Police Force, he announced that the papeis would be laid on the table aud the fullest informatiun afforded, and explained ihat the Government wished to avoid, if possible, haring a military force in that ter ritory, as being opposed to the spirit of tba times and tbe enstoms of the country.Respecting insolvency, he stated the opinions of members would be wanted so as to frame the most practical measure possible.He ex plained that further steps would be taken in reference to the conjoint operations of the Dominion and the varions Provinces on tbe subject of immigration.On reciprexuy, said that the draft treaty, backed by the re commendation of the African (government had been peot to ibe Senate and no notice had beep received by the Canadian Government as to bow it was disposed of.He was prepared to defend it on its merits.He de uied that it was necea#ary that any treaty should be submitted to Parliament before ra tificatiou, and pointed out that such a prin.ciple couif' not hold with regard to tbs recent treaty wi h the Indians.He expressed appreciation of the courtesy of the Oppoeition la regard to the Address.After explanations by Sir John A.Mac.fjongld, the resolutions were read the first time.75W The ninth resolution, in vegard to the Pacific Railway, at the request of Sir John A.Macdonald, was declared carried on a division.The other resolutions passed without opposition.it; .Mr.CARTWRIGHT announced that he would move the House into Committee of Supply on Monday.\"I Mr.CARTWRIGHT laid on the table tbe Public Accounts.Mr.BURPEE laid on the table

people thought it was for a fire and feared that with the terrible storm that waa blowing the flames would hare foil play among the wooden booses clustering round the Mariners1 Chapel, and play dreadful ha roc in Dtomoori harbor.But, sad to say, a more dangerous element than fire was at work, and a more frightful sacrifice of life «ran than that entailed by the cot* fUgratioa of the Beau port Lunatic Asylum, has to be reported this morning with \u2022cense of the most - bamming nature.Nestling under the promontory of Cape Diamond are numberleee- homesteads of the hardy, indastrione people, of whom Quebec is justly proud.Many of these houses axe of wood, protected from the fall of gravel aad shale by wooden uprights, and, perhaps safe eaoogfa In their way.Examples have occurred to show that no dependence whatever may be placed upon such safeguard*, and it la plain enoogh now that they afford no protection against snow.The storm which set in on Tuesday night, and increased in force on Wednesday, served to pile an additional load upon the tremendous heap behind the boom of Nicholas Haber land, on Champlain street, neer the Mariners\u2019 Chapel.Like many of his neighbours he had never paid much attention to the constantly accumulating load, nor would he, nor any one else in the neighbourhood, have bothered about it withoat a warning oi some very ahocking character.Strange to say last year this house was moved by a land slide.So far as we have been enabled to team, the lower portion of the boose, a two story wooden structure was occupied by the family of the owner, Nicholas Haberland, and bis family of four souls.The upper fiat waa rented by John Qibson, whose family was composed of hie wife and five children, and ii^the attics, was Mr.Haberlacd\u2019s mother, a bed ridden «roman of 75 years of age.A sudden crash about 9 o\u2019clock, was the signal ot the impending catastrophe, for a huge mass of snow bod fallen in the rear of the house.The old woman tried to - givs an ahum, and John Gibson's voice was heard calling to his wife, who h -.d just entered the house from a visit to a neighbour across the road.Nearly everybody waa to bed at the time, but Haberland and his wife, who were fortunately saved, with their children.Soon there was another crash, and this was the crack of doom lor the inmates of the house.The enormous masses of snow poised on the almost perpendicular lace of the cliff came down with furious force, aad for a moment there was nothing but a whirl of fleecy white and a storm of sca.ter-ing timbers.The house waa wrecked In a flrnb, ss it were, and its nufortaua e inuaitts buried in a living grave.There was no time for preparation for tbeir dread fate for them, in a me ment, in the twinkling c-f an eye, they wtre involved in destruction.The neighborhood was speedily aroused, and a few minutes after the wreck of the bouse there were hundreds busy with spade and shovel tiyiag to extricate from the mass of debris spread across the .«treef, the bodies of the inmates of the bouse.For nearly an hour there was bard work with the constantly increasing crowd pressing sronnd, but the police soon interfered and enabled those who were In earnest io work animpeded.The Haberland family-father, mother, and thtee children\u2014were taken ont alive and well.They were immediately conveyed into thu grocery store of Mr.Manning, opposite, where they were hospitably accommodated, and in the meantime the march went on.John Gibson\u2019s body was next found, sod taken i»to Manning's and laid on a louage.His face was placid, and he bore no appearance of pain, but, from tfce state of bis clothing, we should uy that he made a fearful struggle with death.A little girl next recovered from the ruins and laid on the floor in >he kitchen.Then there was found sticking through the snow s por-tioo of the clothing of Mr.Habei hind\u2019s mother-in-law, sod she was shortly after-trada recovered, bat in a frightfully mangled condition in consequence of the chimney having fallen on her.Mrs.Gibson was next found.She had evidently been dead about an hour and wa* still warm.Her death seemed to have been attended |with suffering.The children were gradually r.-ooveted, and they looked, with \u2019 the exception of little Kate, just as peaceful as wben\u2019thoy were put to bed.Finer children it would be hard to And than the little b&aies lying on either side of their mother on the floor of Mrs.Manning\u2019s kitchen.The dead are :\u2014 Johanna O\u2019Keefe, wife of the late Patrick Haberland, aged 75 years.John Gibson, labourer, aged 35 years.Mary O'Brteo, his wife, aged 3fl years.Their children, John Francis, sged 9; Msry, 8 ; Richard, 6 ; Catherine, 4 : and Llisa Ann, the baby, whose body was not recovered when we left at three o\u2019clock this morning, aged 1 year.A terrible death roll indeed.Rev.Father Oates, of the Redemptorist Order, was upon the tesne at au early hoar, and did his almost, .apuia Belgium, with the Provincial Police, worked heartily and well.Councillor McLaughlin ; Mesan.Grogan, Power, and a host of others whose names escape us, work-\u2022d throughout the night with nothing vigor, and Dr.M.Ahern won universal admiration by the manner in which be laboured.Mr.Giblin loaned shovels and every requisite with eotnm ndable promptitude.This is about the most terrible accideat which has occurred in this neighborhood.The last thing of the kind occarred in 1857, when the Morphy aad MolalUphy families were entombed, bat fortunately no lives were then I had hardly opraed it when I heard a ofhuh-1 i5.ïï,:;irÆK'ffiS,-S£;Æ'o\" ' the wood-work Whig forced right into my shop.The wind was blowing {frightfully at the time, and blinded, everyone with the drift Assistance waa Instantly procured, and we all set to work to clear away the snow.\u201d The fanerai oi the eight victims took place at a little after three yesterday 'afternoon, the whole of the expense# bring very generously defrayed by the Ship Labourers\u2019 Benevolent Society.The scene as the funeral cortege passed by was most Impressive, and it is long since Quebec has witotpsed so sad a burial.There were no leas than six hearses.These were followed by from two to three thousand people on foot, of all classes and grades of society ; behind them fifty sleighs also conveyed moomers.The streets on the way to the church and cemetery were soon filled with spectators, who looked in mournful silence on the passage to the grave of persons who, with but one exception, one little day before, had been in UtFenjoyment of healthy life and vigor.Little remain « on the ground of the accideat to show the enxtent of it save a huge thick pile of snow\u2014a white and pet-ishable monument of a fearful disaster.At St.Patrick\u2019s Church, Rev.Father Burke, who officiated before the service was commenced, ascended the steps of the altar, and addreased the people assembled on the subject of death, from the text, \u201cBlessed are the dead who die in the Lord.\u201d He spoke earnestly and feelingly.Life, he said, was uncertain, and Heeling, and Death came on apace, like a thief in the night.1 u the midst of life we are in Death, and that truth was never more strongly verified than in the instance of the corpses lying before them.Twenty-four hours ago, m the full tide of health and vigor, they were rejoicing in life, now cold and pale, they lay in the embraces of the destroyer, and their souls had gone before the God who had given them.The lesson he sought to impress was, that seeing that life was so uncertain, and as every step taken on earth was but a step toward the grave, and every pulsation of the heart a nearer approach to the inevitable, it was the duty of every Christian to be prepared to meet his God, to endeavour to maintain himself in a state of grace, to desist from evil, and seek to do good, and he implored his hearers, in the presence of the silent witnesses on their biers, to seek salvation while it was offered to Jthem freely, and be reconciled j to their Creator.The service was then proceeded with according to Roman Catholic ritual, and afterwards the bodies were again placed in the hearses, and taken to the Cemetery, where they were deposited in the receiving vault.Rev.Father O\u2019Connor performed the last offices, and the immense procession immediately dispers ed.Vesterday the committee appointed to solicit subscriptions in aid of the interment expenses and the assistance of the survivors deprived of their homes, commenced work.Messrs.W L.Thom and Jordan collected some f!30 in theParlia ment buildings alone.The subscribers were as follows:\u2014Members of Parlia ment, Mr H G Joly, $10 *, P
