[" COMMERCIAL AND SHIPPING GAZETTE, VOL XXIX.QUEBEC.FRIDAY.JUNE 25.1875.No.11009 lady franklin.Tb* Boston Pott says :\u2014There w some thing both touching and appropriate in the petition of Lady Franklin, lying in dangerous and perhaps mortal illness, for the prayers ot the American people.It was an American expedition which brought to a close her terrible and long-lingered suspense.From McClintock and his brate comrades she at last learn ed the not to be doubted news that her gallant and heroic husband had perished the icy mysteries of the furthest North.Lady Franklin did not need this proof of American interest in her life purpose and heart\u2019s work ; her sufferings, her noble heroism, her unselfish deration, her untiring energy, her uncowed spirit, have always received our warmest sympathies.Surely her appeal will be answered, if not in the churches\u2014where perhaps it will be\u2014at least in thousands of hearts impressed with the beauty of her deration throughout the land.The old classic tales of wifely fidelity and self sacrifice almost pale before her heroic search for her husband's fate for more than thirty years.Left alone at an age when it is proper to be joyous, and excusable to be giddy and forgetful, she has passed early and later youth, womanly prime, and oncoming age, in this constant, heart-wringing, yet undismayed pursuit.The pleasures, the ambitions of life were far off from her; her soul tring drmly in h's bill, he tumbled heavily from the limb, and allowed his full weight to pull up jq the coveted ar:i 1\".This he tried over and over again, but without avail.At last he tntered the nest and dili-g.iutly tugged at th-> fastened eud of the string until he succeeded in loo«ening it.Thun it > drew it through and sped away to make u e of it iu bis niw home.Tüe Creation of Women.A prince once said to Rabbi Gamshel : \" Your God is a thief ; he surprised A -am in bis sleep, and si de a rtb from him.The Rabbi\u2019a daughter overheard this speech, and whispered a word or two iu her father's ear, asking h's permiss'ou te answer this cingula opiuion h-ir-elf He gave his consent.Tin girl stepped forward, and fegeing t*r-rur and dirmay, threw her arms al ft in supplication, and «tied out, \u2018 My liege, my liege, just ce t revtngel \u2018*Wnat has happened 7 ' ask'd the prince \u201c A wicked theft has taken place/' she replied.\u201cA rotber has crept secietlv into our house, carried away a silver g >blet, and !eft a golden one in is steid.\u201d \u201c What an upright thief I\u201d exclaimed the prince.\u201c Wonid that such robberies were ot more tiquent o.-curreoce I\u201d \u201c B~hnld then, sire, the kind of thief our Creator was; he s ole a rib from Adam and gave him a beautiful wife instead, \u201c Well said I\u201d avowed the prince.Terrible Epidemic ifelHuda in tbeFiji Anecdotew of John Brown.A correspondent of the San Francisco Xewt» letter, now in England, wiites :\u2014Many anecdotes are told concerning th i fort ot relationship which exists between our honoured lady the Queen and her faithful servant, John Brown.Sums of these mart, of\u2018course, b < taken with a train of t-alt, but the following, I believe, can be redid upon :\u2014\u201cJohn\u2019s affection for her Majesty is very gnat.It wai Prince Albert who first took the man, simply because he was stra ghtforward and extremely independent.John never alters his brosd-Scotch toegue to phase any one, uot eveu royalty itself.1 he Qneeu was once getting set\u2019led cosily upon her little Highland pony ; the animal b.ing small and the roads dusty, it became necessary to tuck up her tiding habit with a pin, John Br .wn was putforming this office, when suddenly, \u201c O, dd there, that are very characteristic and «ffoc-tire.\u2018-Judrs made gieat p\u2019otessions.He got mar enough to u>e Son if God to kis-i him.But he went to damnation.\u201d His voice seems to have been overstrained, and is not as pleasant as even it u>«ed to b-.His words tumble over each often in the haste of his utterance.He bat; asurprldng facul\u2019ÿ for such gramatieal mistakes and illiteiacies at \u201cThem Jews,\u201d '-Tne Spirit dote it,\u201d \u201cTaint no use,\u201d \u201cGit right up,\u201d \u201cHe come to him,\u201d t-to But these minor blemishes sink out of notice iu tbe tremendous earnestness with which he speaks.That is the pre-eminent characteristic of the discouis-*.The noiseless, rapt attention of the vast cougn gation Is wonderful.Hundreds are in te in.Iu th > very midst of the discourse and the height of its interest two or three quickly succeeding shrieks came Lorn tbe centre of theaudieoce.Mr.Moody s'opptd as if it were a signal-shot from Satan's line, and with Sheridan-like promptness said, \u201cWVl! stand up and ring \u2018Rock of ages, \u2019 cleft for me,\u2019 and the ush jrs will please help that friend out of the hall.She\u2019s hysterical.\u201d There were no more \u201chysterical\u201d demonstrations during the even-iog, aad tbe congregation scarcely realis-.d that there had been any interruption in tbe service.\u2014Lon Jon Cor.Christian Union 11/ Ailorjinicin Hi» StiHiu« \u201cMany of the people thought that this fire jras deliberately planned and executed.This U no- true.It was accidental, aod iu my judgment began with the cotton which General Hampton's men had set fire toon leaving th* city (whether by his order or not is not material), which fire was partially subdued early in the day by oar men ; but when night came, the hign wind formed it again into fall bUM», carried i* against the frame houses which caught like tinder, and soon spread be yond control \u2022 * * In my official repoit of this conflagration I distinctly charged it to Générai Wade Hampton, and confess I did so pointedly to shake the fotto of his people in him, for he was, in my opinion, a braggart, and professed to be the special champion of Sooth Carolina.\u2014(Sherman\u2019s Memoirs.) Ths above is the most damnable and damn ing confession ever made by any man wearing the uniform of a soldier\u2014and if Sherman be not crazy_with which our charity would willingly mantle bis tins\u2014be Is certainly internons.After admitting that be pointedly told a lie for the purpose of ruining the reputation of an Officer and gentleman\u2014we think villainy can go no farther.Sherman never had an enemy who coaid have written a book yiw-eny htaa a worse character than he has voluntarily and boaetingly given himself, and he revels in the glory of his own ^Mickmossd inquirer ) j It dapped its wings, shook its body, andap-i pcared to heartily regret having meddled J with pussy In her peaceful ways.Finally, , as H iu despair and exhauMion, it spread its ! strong wings and fell slowly to the bay, over which tbe struggle had been going on.Im^ mediately upon touching the water the cat loosened her hold aud swam boldly ashore, while the tagle, upon being freed of its tioublesome burden, shot upward and spud rapidly away.\\ot a CroMM Bear- (Atkinson\u2019s Siberia.) In the valley of Tajarrau.in Siberia, two children, one four and the other six years old, rambled away from their friends, who were hatm-tkiug.At last they came near to a !>ear lying on the grasr, aud, without tbe slightest fear, went up to him.He looked at tbem steadily without moving.At length they begun playing with him, aud mounted upou his back, which he subnitted to with perfect good humor.The parents, missing the truants, were not long in reaching the spot, when to their dismay, they beheld one child sitting on the bear\u2019s back and the other feeding him with fruit! They called quickly, when the youngsters ran to their friends, and Bruin, apparently not liking the interruption, went into tbe forest.\u20ac»l»laiu Boy n ton'is fjtiauuel ¦ 1\u2019rip.Captain Boynton landed at half-past two on Saturday morning near South Foreland Lighthouse, Folkr-stone, having beenn.arly 24 hours in tbe water.He wai not much fatigued.Tbe fastest «peed was a mile and a quarter in

treated with the utmost hospitality.\u201d Referring to the kindness of Mr.Snea, of St.John's, Nfid , he says : The cip-tain and officers were orave men, and did all they could to save tbe passengers and ship.Tber > were boats a plenty for all ; the passengers though seemed numbed or stupi-fled and wore afraid to go into thu boa s.\u2018 It looked risky to have to jump into a boat, pounding abont In high waves and between regular mountains of ice.He said the mate\u2019s boat had been upset twice, once alongsile the ship.The cold was gn at and caused the men much suffering.His description of the women, sitting on tbe deck with pale faces and glued lips awaiting their death, was pathetic in the extreme.Mr.McBhane\u2019s hair was turned quite gray from the eff et cf the

portion of the proceedings in connexion with the inauguration of the first section of the Leyia and Kennebec Railway with the description of the aoiemn ceremony of driving the last spikta, and laying the last rail.We proceed this morning with a report of the speeches delivered at the banquet tendered the guests of the contractors.The Chair was taken by the President of Levis aad Kennebec Railway Company, having on his left His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, and on bis right the Mayor of Levis, George Couture, Esq.The vice-chairs were occupied by Messrs.Larochelle and Scott, besides the distinguished company of His Honor were Hon.Pet«r Mitchell, Mr.Inglis, Capt.Nicker, Hon.P.Garnean, Col.Rhodes» President of the North Shore Railway Company -, Col.Strange, C.A., Major Montisam-bert, Mr.Dnlac, M.P.P., and other prominent gentlemen.Alter fall justice bad been done the edibles and drinkables bounteously provided, the Chairman, Hon.Mr.Blanchet, called the meeting to order, and proposed the health of Her Majesty the Queen, a toast, he \u2022aid, which every true born British subject honors first, and with the juilest enthusiasm.The toast was diunk amid loud applause, the band playing the National Anthem.The Chairman then rose to propose the health of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Quebec, anl be did so in the follow, lag terms :\u2014\u201cI rise to propose a toast which I know will be honored to the echo by all who are cognisant of, and appreciate the worth and grandeur of character of the distinguished guest who honors ns with his presence here on this auspicious occasion, and who has deigned to perform the completing ceremonies of this, the first section of our great national, and I may say, international work.Need I say, gentlemen, that I propose the Lieutenant-Govtrnor of the Province of Quebec.(Immense applause.) Many years ago, it was said by one who was a distinguished member of the old Parliament of Canada that the French Canadian race was a race ol fttUüKomnea, and we are proud to-day in re-oognimng the fact, and acknowledging in onr mfdat the presence ol one who is the most perfect type of the Canadian gentilhomme, and representative of the people whose character tor courtesy and urbanity is world wide (Cfaevn.) To-day, holding the highest pos liea in the gift of the Crown open to a Canadian subject, he commands more than he ever coMmanded in his long public carreer the aatimation and profound respect ot the people ovtr whose drstiules he presides, and I piay you that the tcast I \\ ropoce in his honor, and ia these few ieeble words, may be received with a hamper.(Cheera.) The toast was sathnaiastically received, the band playing a selection of French national airs.His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, when the cheering conséquent upon his rising subsided, responded :\u2014\u201cMr.President and Gen flrwin f rsn assure yon that I never expected si yonr bands the panegyrics you have so kiadly heaped upon me.I fear that your good-wi 11 in my regard has carried yon farther than a strict comprehension of whatever credit is dse me would werrauf, hot nevertheless I thaok yon from the brttom of my heart for the manner in which yon havo received the toast, and I may be bold enough to take your cordial expreasions as those of re Cl for ma, which I t.nst my discharge of duties reposed in me will never diminish (Cfactra ) lam always proud and happy to be among my iallow-citiseux, to participate fa their pleasure», to rejoice in their progrès?, aad contemplate the grand future of their tn-terprisea.Whenever I can assist in the con.sumotalion of great works destined to f< r-ward our natkxal greatness and develop our mighty resources, I can assure you, Mr.Chairman, that my heart and band is with the people.(Cheers.) For I am justly proud ot my Canadian nationality, proud of our glorious country, and hope ml for Ler future Tou have ch- sen to accord me merit tor bsv-iag consented to be preset t on this auspi riovv occasion May I be permitted to say that whatever merit exists does net belong to me, hot to you, Mr Chairman, and the con-fmetors of the railway, who have cairhd it la such a promising extent, and in the face of many trying didicnltifs I am anre tbat lbs Levis and Kennebec Railway is destined to play a great part in the advancement ot * ~ and to realise f r its projectors every they ever entertained of its ultimate I yon again for the manner in yon bave honored the toast proposed in ao flattering a manner by the President aad Iks coniractors for tbs kind Invitation to thooghttnlly extended to ate, and I shall tail to convey to Madame Caron yonr ex-~#Mtinni And now, I will take > JJkmty, with yonr kind permission, Mr.A propos, a toast, one, I know that will be received with cordiality and thorough recognition.This toast, wereihe day not so f«r advanced, 1 might divide into three, but for the present I will be coûtent with gr> upiug ibto one, the health of the Presid>-nt and C >btractors of the Levis and Kennebec Railway, who have well and faithfully discharged their arduous duties, and who dererve the unbounded applause of citizen 4 of all classes for the pluck and euergy hey have brought to their task, and which have carried it t.rorard.Th-> work they I ave just completed is the best guarantee tirât \u2022 hat which yet lies before th«m will Ire carried out excelletjt'y, earnestly, and bravely.I tiust that this toast will ba drunk with all the honours it deserves, and that those wh >m I commend to your heartiest recogn'tioti will live long to see the cotsummaLoa of their ev» ry hope, and to reap the finite of their industry, t ieir p.rseVviance and indomitable courage.(Cheers.) The President responded.Hesatd\u2014lour Excellency and GentLmen\u2014In the name of the Directors and Contractors of the Levis and Kennebec Railway I thank you mort sincerely for the flittering manner in which you have piopojrd this toast, and for the kind words which, I beg yon to rert assured, will impel us to further and more determined effo.ta to bring the work we have undertaken to a successful and proud conclusion.I am deeply sensible of the importtnee of this day, not alone tj Levis and the counties through which this railway passes, but to the whole Province, aud in fact the entire Dominion, for it is the it auguration of a vest work, whose completion opms up anew fi«-ld of communication and forms a link ia the great channel of transcontinental transportation, of wbo-e magnitude few of us have yet any adequate conception The day will come, and it cannot be far distant, wh n the i^une of the Levis and Kennebec will be as popular and widely known as the Grand Tiunk, the Gnat Western, the Erie, or, in fact, any of the great lines of Canada or the United States.It ceitrinly Is not as grand in conceptiou as the Pacific, but iu its immediate effect it was as important, opening up a new, rich and firtile district lo colonization, and extending the boundaries of commerce to new regions.It is hardly a cen-tury since the armies of the revolted American Colonies marched down the valley of the Chaudière fo meet repulse at the gates of Quebtc.V\\e met them then with iron, and we will meet them again with iron, but not with the iron of the cannon ball.We will meet them with th * friendly metal of the mil\u2014(cheers)\u2014and extend the iron bonds ol amity and iritndsbip over the frontier to meet onr brethren in the friendly bonds of amity and the strong ties of mutual interest, (Chet rs.) I must say to my friends that I am prouder to meet them here in their assembled thousands than in the noisier field of political discussion.When wo see politics banished from an occasion like tbs present, when we are engaged in celebrating an event mighty in its meanugs for ns, it is pleasant indeed, bat infinitely more pleasant fir the candidates.Variety is the charm of life, and the change from the monotony of political discussion imposed npon )he country by the impending elections, to the inauguration of a vast work like the one whose successful launching we celebrate to-day, is something, I am sure, that, with me, all who bear me folly appreciate.The Levis and Kennebec Railway, gentlemen, passes through the richest sod most populous districts of this Province, the Counties of Levis, Dorchester and Beauce, traversing the fertile Cbaudiere Valley, famous from the discovery of the country for i s verdure and beauty.It commands in its extent g population of 160,000 souls, one-tenth of the entire population of this Province, and there are very few lines, I can assure you, commanding in such a length such a proportionate population.The company, of couree has had its difficulties, and its history in this respect, is hot the history of every railroad enterprise in Canada.What may be said of our enterprise may be said of every other, to a greater or lesser degree, there are always obstacles, sometimes grave, sometimes apparently un-sui mount able to meet, but 1 can eay honestly and candidly tbat no Canadian railway has ever risen from such modest beginnings, has worked npon such unpromising grounds, and been enabled to show to an astonished people, thirty miles of line, splendidly constructed and equipped, and competent to enter into the field of bufincss )ike the Levis and Kennebec.(Cheers.) The present financial crisis, which has extended through the entire country has not been withont effect so far as ws are concerned, hampering oe somewhat, bat, thank God, the good name we have been enabled to achieve, Las carried us through a storm tbat has been iu no small degree disastrous to others, and enabled us to weather difficulties which under other circumstances might have been disastrons.And now, Yonr Excellency and gentlemen, permit mo to say a word concerning one to whom we owe much\u2014to whom we owe the «access we have achieved, and to whom we look for future support and assistance, as we carry on onr work to its point of completion.I refer to Mr.John Langham Reed, our financial agent in London (Cbc.ers)i who has stock to us through good aud evil repott, never abandoning faith in our enterprise, ever ready by cheering words, by counsel and assistance of the more cheery character, the financial, to impel ns to farther effort.Let me on this day, wten his effoits, as ours, are crowmd with success testify my need of ptaiae to his devotion to our interests, aud his sympathy with our hopes (cheers).The Levis and Kennebec Railway is one whose prospects, financially are bright.My hearers, mo t of them, will be somewhat surprised to learn tbat our entire bonded debt is but £3,300 per mile, while that of the Grand Trunk Railway is £20,000 per mile.Indeed every other Canadian Railway baa larger obligations than we have to meet.The amount required to pay the interest ou the bonds issued for the first section is £7,000 per annum, and the estimated net profit on the traffic of this section (an estimate which has been carefully verified and endorsed by an English engineer of high standing who bas gone ovtr the road) is $80,000, or £16,000 ttg.Certainly this is an encouraging prospect.In constructing the line, every economy compatible with perfect safety has been practised, and though no very great engineering difficulties have had to be encountered, it is with immense labour that so much as we inaugurate to-day has been completed.With Mr.Reed's assistance, we hope to complete fifteen miles more during the sommer and reach St.Joseph (cheers), and in the meantime we hope to receive the assistance of all political conclusions, for iu the matter of railways all are upon neutral groun \u2022.Upon the railway policy parties in the Doiniuieo ktew no difference ; they are united ai one man.Both Federal aud Local Governments encouiako railways, if in différent ways.The Domiaion is responsible, of course for the Pacific, the Canadian Central, and such lines, carrying on its great work of girdling the continent witli au lion chair.The Federal Goveruinent does not, of course, subsidize (oral roads, but is in a position t) help by reducing Custom\u2019s duties upou necessary railway material requiring to be imported.And with the Local Government, it was their policy to subsidise local enterprises like the North Shore, the Northern Colonization, the Lake St.John and the Levis an I Kennebec, making this latter a link of the Great Pacific chain.The railway policies of both Governments are destined to make ns great and glorious among the' nations.When the mighty projects now In course of carrying out shall have been completed, we shall see ia the port of Quebec immensr fleets prepared to undertake the carriage of the great wade of the Wett, and the mighty res mrees of onr Province helped into profitable development for the elevation of our people, tie concluded by appealing to all who beard him, to put th ir shoulders to the wheel, and help along the consummation of the long cherished aspirations of the Canadian people, snl was loadly cheered as he concluded bis address.Hon.Mr.Garnean, Commissioner of Public Works, said that be hod wait-, d a moment for some member of the Federal Government io respond to the toast, but as there appeared to be noue present, which he greatly regretted, he would reply, with the permission of the Chair for the Local Government.The President had spoken of the policy of ibe Government on the railway question.If there is one th ng more than another commanding the attsntion of the Government it is that of railway extension.The Government have ext.nded aid to many companies, regretting to be unable to help all who asked for help.They bave granted subsidies to the amountofsix millions of doliars.and when the resources of »he Province are considered, it will be admitted that this is indeed a large sum.The Levis aud Kennebec Railway has received from the Government as much assistance as was possible to be extruded to it, and it is the enterprise which has, in the fullest degree, given the Government and the public satisfactory returns for the ai 1 which has been granted it.Those who undertook its coBetruction have thus far fulfilled every engagement.He was proud, be slid, to present on the solemn occaaioo.When we see united such vast masses of people, so unanimous and enthuiiaslic, so fully comprehensive of the value of railway communication, we see the interest taken in the wurk which it is the peculiar satisfaction of the Government to forward.He referred at some length to his presence.at a minor inauguration of a portion of the road at St.Anselme last year, when only a Lw miles of the road were completed, and when be had expressed his cordial sympathy with the great work going forward.We have, besides this line, other roads in course of construction, the North Shore, the Montreal and Ottawa, and the Quebec Central, which latter ha hoped would soon find its terminus in Levis, and complete the links of the South Shore.Of this line 45 miles a.e now ready and he hoped that the day was not far distant when it would form direct connexion with the Levis pnd Kennebec, and ccmplete the chain of railways of the Sooth Shore.If there is one line tbat may be looked npon as having a hopeful future it is the Levis and Kennebec.It has no competitor, and can never fear any.It has no water routes to rival its carrying capacity, and in fact, command?, without the danger of opposition, an immense and fertile country.People must use it or do without it.Use it they most, far the alternative is toa costly a one in these days of swift transportation.(Cheers.) He spoke of tha economical manner in which the line has been constructed, and compared its cost with the enormons expenditure incurred upon the Grand Trunk and kindred concerne.Twenty-five thousand dollars a mile on the Levis and Kennebec was opposed to the $160,000 on other lines, and this light cost was a vast feature in its favonr, and augured well for its profitableLesa in tha future.The Railway policy of the Government, the Commissioner of Public Works contium d, would be in tha future, as liberal, or more liberal than in the past.(Cheers.) It would be the duty of the Government to foster every legitimate enterprise, and be trusted that in carrying oat this duty they would r-ceive the support and co-operation of the people.(Cheers.) Hen.Peter Mitchell was then called npon to respond for the Federal Government.The President said that to ask Mr.Mitchell to re pond for the Federal Govcrnmt nt would be to compromise that gentleman.He would, however, give them an opportun, ity of drinking the bealth of his ancient colleague in the Ottawa Bonne of Commons, who in his, Mr.Blanchet\u2019s time, was known as Pieire Michel among the French members.(Laughter.) He won Id therefore propose the Federal and Local Parliaments.(Cheer?,) and call upon Mr.Mitchell to respond.The Hon.Peter Mitchell, who was greeted with loud cheering, said tbat if ever in the course of his life he had felt the disadvantage of not being sufficiently cognisant with the French language to express his opinions in tbat tongue it was on the present occasion.He however understood enough to know that be bad been alluded lo by the honorable gentleman who had just spoken, and that be had paid a compliment to the House of Commons of Ottawa.It struck him forcibly that it was the duty alike of the Pariiameuts of both Provinces to promote the settlement of the cooutry by inducing emigration, bnt particularly by opening it up nvitli railways.Canada possesses a vast area of fertile lands far beyond its population or its wealth as they stand to-day, but he looked forward to a not far distant future when both would be commensurate to the splendid extent of ter-itory which belongs to ns.He agreed with Mr.Blanchet that it was the bounden duty of all Governments to foster both by material aid and moral countenance the development of railroad communication throughout the country.The line which they were at tbat moment inaugurating was to be the connect ing link between the waters of thoSt.Liw rence and the Atlantic, and he was glad to coincide in the unanimously expressed opin ion respecting its capital construction, and hoped the results would be encouraging to its investors.AUuding to the great republic citizens who have an interest in our national acr0Mth«\the stated that it was In \u2014 interest to foster and promote development, and of all municipalities along our route who will be benefitted by the ex tension of our line.We appeal to their generosity, to their public spirit, and their com prehension of the demands of the country for railway communication.We want them to give us their aid, not of words alone, but substantial aid (Loud and continued cries We will I we will t) Yon will I Do so then, my friends, and help us to consummate our work give ns your encouragement, your aid and yonr credir, and let us know that yon are with ns in this onr great undertaking (cheers) Let any one take a good look at the mapL and consider the advantages this line will off:r when completed, this railway will be the shortest Une to Portland, being 61 miles shorter than the Grand Trunk, and will also be the shortest line to the Maritime Province?being 135 miles shorter to Halifax, and 43 miles shorter to St.John, than the Intercolonial.And more especially in winter will its vaine be demonstrated in connection with its commonicaticn with the Maritime Provinces, for it is not exposed to the tremendoos snowdrifts of the Metapedia Valley or the delays of the general line of the Intercolonial.The saving thus afforded to commercial men in freightage ia thus evidently immense, and will be found when the Noith Shore Railway is constructed, as I hope to see before long, and the Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental is running order, connecting with the great growing districts of the Wear, and bringing those products which are demanded in the European markets to our doors, to send them over onr line, as the shortest and most economical route to the Atlantic seaboard.I may now make a few remarks pergonal to myself, or rather to my family.Francois Blanchet, member of the Legislative Council of Canada, was an ancestor of my own, one who tcok a great interett in the Valley of the Cbaudiere The population in his time was sparse and poor.There were no moans of communication whatever in the district, it was impossible to get over the roads such as they were in a vehicle, nntil be set about making a road tbrongh the Valley, and interested bim self in tbe welfare of the people.Wben we get to the frontier we will m« et with our American friends, aud extend to them tbe band of Iriendship The day wben Ihisdt-voutly to be desired consummation shall be reached is not far distant.In three or four year?, at our present rate of progress, we shall be in a position to celebrate a grander and faller inauguration even than that which we are enjoying to-cay.Wo may then have a chance of paying a visit to my ft tend Hon.Peter Mitchel in Halifax fCheers and laughter), and certainly any visit of the kind we may make he will render pleasant to us.That will indeed be a great day for Levis, Beauce, Dorchester and Quebec.Let us hope tbat we may bring the day nearer.Let us work hand in hand for the consummation of the wishes which have animated os for so many yean- The President concluded by proposing the toast ot tbe Federal and Local Governments.In viewing them thus connected he hoped his hearers would draw no\u2019 onr the best feelings , towards the United States.From tbat country we receive aid and instroction.He was fully convinced of the advisability of the step lakt-n by our American brethren one handled years ago in sepa rating themselves from the mother country Their present advanced position in civil! tion quite justified tbe movement, aud served as a great moral lesson to Great Britain England says to-day to her colonies\u2014\u201cGovern yourselves.If we can help you in any way.and you will give us reasonable «eenrity, we will do it, and do it willingly.*' (Load cheers.) He then spoke of the unrivalled water commnnication which Canada pos-sesseo, and eald that there was but one St Lawrence in the world ; that Quebec stood at tbe outlet of this great watershed\u2014Quebec, with so mauy brilliant French and English afsociations connected with its former history.He wished, however, to see tbe name of this glorious old battlemented city con nected with a history of another nature\u2014one connected with industrial improvements and mechanical development; he wished to see merchants, tranufactnrers, farmers and habi tauts combine to teach the Americans tbat we can manufacture as good an article as they produce more cheaply than they can, be cause we have more natural facilities, cheaper labor, and an equally intelligent population.He paid a high compliment to the intelligence and interest his old and distinguished friend, Lieutenant Governor Caron, took in all that concerned the Province.Alluding to the French members of the Ottawa House, be spoke iu glowing terms of the manner in which they advocated all measures tending to bring out the resources of the Quebec dit trict, and concluded a brilliant, incisive speech by aeser ing bis conviction tbac if the true principles of civil and religious liberty were inculcated among the community hen-the\u20ac Province of Quebec would be as pros! perous as any other in the Dominiou.(Pro longed cheers.) Tbe Chairman said that it was not necessary for him to tell them that the Local Le gislatnre is dissolved, aud therefore there was no person present actually qualified to respond for tbat body.His Excellency, however, bad his cons itutional advisers, of whom Hon.Mr.Qarneau was one, and be would therefore call upon that gentleman to respoud for the remainder of the toast.tine or rouie were cop banner*, flags aa'd ev» Canadian iJio£leepert did u firs'^Iss hu-int-t The oiaininatiou n torn, satisfied that there was ample promt?» Largo numbers of people then v«nt over to of profitable return for Investments in rai'way romruuuii-atiou on the frontier.He tru ted\u2019 tbat they w.uld soon meet at the frontier, and extend there the bun 1 of amity and good fellowship to our brethren of another slle-gi ensset inwards, tiie Somerset, Skowhegau and Wisiasset line-».The locality is a small t >wn, hut Wiscasset offers you probably the finest seaport in the world, open at all seasons of tbe year, in which the Great Eastern could float at low water.Not only will the Somers«?t branch connect you with Wis'-assat, but it will afford you communication with the whole railway system of Maine and the Eastern States, with Ponland on the one hand and Lewiston on the other.He therefore saw the desirability of the early completion of the Hue, and hoped before long to m« et at the frontier and there extend the iron baud of friendship to be grasped for ever (Cheers).Mr.Mitchell had spik n in kindly terms of the relations which should exist between Canada and tho United States.Tbi se desires were reciprocated fully on the other aide of tbe line (Cheers).It is in harmony and peace that we desire to live with the Canadian people (cheers), and it was impossible lor bim to sec any difficulty in the future likely to mar the existing friendly relations, which, he hoped would grow still more friendly as time wears on.He wished prosperity iu the fullest sense of the word to the Levis and Kennebec railway, and expressed the hope that the day is not far distant when, meeting at the frontier with friendly lines, it should carry its cars to the shores of the mighty Atlantic (Cheers).(Owing to want of space we are compelled to cut our report here.)
