Again, there had been two bills before tbo Dominion Parliament, which had called for their ccmhmnAlion as guardians of the interests of this mercantile community.He referred to the bills respecting average adjusters and caniers.Tho formrr, being in keeping with the usual leudeucy of Government to get bold of a?many sources of patronage as possible and to fijl i hem with their own poli ical nominee,«I, regardless of personal fitness or experience, had been objiot-'d to by them on that account.Tho latter was 8} absurd on its very face that it had met wi.h tho fate it richly deserved in beiog thrown out by the Senate.(Applause.) The lost thing he had to allude to, but certainly not the least was the position of our Harbor Commission.He regretted to bave to record tbe en*ire miscarriage of those principles of action, for which they bad obtain*d the sanction of Her Majesty\u2019s Government in 1873, by the cou.se that bad been taken by the present Government.They would all remember that they had then osktd for fresh legislation to enable them to reorganise the Harbonr Commission ; that they pointed out the evils that had arisen from the Government having a majority on the Board, their desire to see certain evils remedied and the ha; hour improved and that the merchants-only agreed to fresh taxation on the strict understanding and promise that tho tax-payers and trade generally should have the majoiity on the Beard.These terms, after considerable negotiations,; wore adopted and a bill was fiamed, upon which the new Commission was ponstitutee}.This k 11 autborizid them to effect a loan which enabled them to pay off the old bjmls at par; and tbe new tax im posed on tbo trade Ir.d since enabled tbe Commission to put tho fund of trust In a healthy condition, and they now bad a re venue of about $26,060 a year.It was bard ly n rest ary to recite the work that had been done during tbo past two years.Tue whole haihour had been sui vi y d by tho eminent engineer, Mr.Morris, of Knipple A M-rris, and a scheme for tbo construction of a long and permanent pier from tbe Gas Works to the Breakwater had been n solved on.He regretted that considerable misapprehension had obtained with\u2019reforence to these improve meats, atd more, that very incorrect state monts had be on circulated as to bis own views on this work.He had always favored and still favored this scheme, and if in conjunction with tbo North Skoro Railway this pier could be coustructed at a cost which would net incur too gnat a liability, be would vote for its commencement to-morrow The second Improvement was the building of a pier on tbe (ly bank and tbe dndgiog oi the channel between that and the shore.Both of these works be believed would be carrying out.practical aud useful schemes, aon it had been tbe intention of the Com-\u2019ntsiioperp to b*ve working plans and estimates made for both, fitno important work that they had commenced aud completed was the building of the dredging machine ; he believed it would prove a complete succcess.It had already raised several anchors, and they hoped that next season all the nests of anchors which hod been fruitful in los?to go many vessels would be removed.(Hear, hear.) In respect to the graving dock regard-log which there hai been so much difference of opioioo, he felt c-.rlain that most of them overestimated its importance and were not fully acquainted with tho obligations they had taken upon ihtmeolvcs when they pointed out to tho Government that it was not a local undertaking tor the benefit of tho city of Quebec, but that it was for the Interests of the whole Dominion.When tbiy had in strncUd Mersrs.Kicniple A Morris to sur-Vty the harbour and reportas to tbo best site, they had Informed thtm that they wished them to regard tho ha; hour as one great wbolo.The result his bearers were aware of, and be felt convinced that if tbe tiale cause ol tho Levis & Kennebec, which promised to be one of the most fruitful little lines in the country and would bring us very much nearer the se&boaid when completed and duly connected with the Maine system of railways.As to tbe North Shore Road, it was sincerely to be hoped tbit this great undertaking would now be pushed forward with vigor and that it would bring to us all the material benefits expected from it by its most ardeat supporters.In the connection, he said he thought he could not weigh too st-ongly upon tbe growing influence of railways upon tbo lum-her trade, and to show their capabilities for a traffic of tbe sort, be might remark that, upon a late deputation to Ottawa, be had tald Mr.Mackenzie that large quantities were being carried by rail from Michigan to United States ports for shipment to Europe.Tho Premier had ridicule*! tbe idea, but it was not the less true that lumber could be shipped direct frem Michigan to Boston at a profit for shipment to haglaud, aud this held good in other directions.For example, largo shipraen s were being mado from Ottawa to Po tland for tho same purpose ; aud it therefore behooved Quebec to be careful aud not lose its staple trade.He alluded to ibis point, to show that wc should endeavor to make our harbor tbe cheapest and not the most expensive in the Dcminion, as we wera actually doing, iu the most short-sighted way, aud it bad been ior this reason that ho had deemed it his duty aod to tho interest of the port to call attention to the mistaken policy of such organisations a?the Ship Labcrcrs' Society.The speaker here sat down amid warm applause.Mr.Joseph did not rise to obj ct to the report, but thought that it w.is inadvisable to i ' tain expressions therein such as violation on tho part of the Government of the agreement with the Board.He contended that, Inaf-much as tho present Government had promised nothing, they coul 1 not possibly have broken faith ia the matter.On the contrary, he held that they had uoted very fairly and generously by Quebec In virtually giving it half a million lor tbe graving dock.It was admittedly very desirable that, iu so far as tbo Board of Trade was concerned, political considerations and political influences should bo scrupulously set aside, but he nevt-rtheLss held that tbe ttrrn \"violation\u201d was rather strong under the ciicumstances.The President would like to modify the word, butha scarcely saw how It could ba dune and record tbe truth.He would have much sosutr seen the Government keep there half million and leave tbe Board its iudepcB-decco of thought aud action.Ia this matter they had never even con ml ted them on the sut ject of change and for his own part, although he thoroughly dopreca ed the principle, he thought alter all there might be seme teasou iu tte frequent recommendation to Quebec merchants^ try an i make their money and then clear out of the place.Mr.U S Scott held that the present GoV' eminent had made more concessions to Quebec In this matter than their predeceseors.He thought therefore that it was inadvisable ta introduce such a term into the report.A Government were not in all cases bound by the policy of those who had gone before them, and the disestablishment of the Irish Established Church and the setting aside of vested rights even in that connexion offered a case in point.They charged the Government with a violât on of faith.This was certainly a very grave charge aud one which most assuredly was oot calculated to ad-vance their uause, from the very insult which it conveyed, for an insult was the same, whether It came from one public body to another or from oae gentleman to another.They should seriously reflect before giving a slap in tho face to a body from whom they expected favors.Mr.A.Woods concurred In all that had been said by Mr.Scott and Mr.Joseph.The paragraph referred to had been objected to by bim in the Council and had been somewhat modified, ahd although not so objectionable as when presented tq the Coqncil, was yet for several r* asons undesirable.The act of 1873 reorganizing the Harbour Commission made co provision binding the Government to advance half a million dollars for the purposes of building a graving dock.Subsequently to that, in 1874 or 1875, this Board having urged on tho Government the necawsity of I building a graving *}ock htyo, the Govern-ment aficr considerable negotiation consented to advance half a million dollars on tho condition that they should have a majority on the Board to control its expenditure, and further that tbe Commission should guarantee $10,000 per annum towards paying working expenses and interest.Under ihoee circumstances, It was incorrect to say that faith {Continued on Third Page.)

In reality Quebeo did not want it for any practical par-poae ; it wouli be only rueful for large tteamers ; Its vslue to the commnnity would net ba much more than that of any of oar large ship-yards ; and, although he bad always advocated its construction, he still deprecated the aellitg of our birth right of tedepsndecce to thrJGovernment for tha sake of such a mesa of potage\u2014(Hear, hear).He repeat' d that political inteiference and poli ileal expediency were killing Quebec and that until works of improvement were carried ont upon a scund ccmmerclal basis and in a proper business manner, there would be little hope of the place goirg atna 1 Until this was done, there was sufficient excuse for meschanta taking little or no lotereet in the progress or direction of public aff ira.They not possibly hare any confidence in the public administration, if each fresh Government was to be justified io pulling down work built up at much trouble and expense by their predecessors-(H a*, hear).Mr.Joseph\u2014Does not that occur in the Catted Stairs?The Pttsidmt\u2014It does; but the sooner It if p«t an end to here the bitter.He went on to sv that, at all times, the Government had sought to obtain the controlling power in this matter for political purposes, and instanced when Mr.Langevin was io power.He (Mr.Largevtn) thought to have tho no-mi net von of the majority, but thvy had main-taintd their ground in opposition to su:h de-termination on his part and finally he bad to yield ; n bill was framed, and he had carried It out in good faith To^ay the same b tne-fol iodoeuce was again at work.A majority cf the new Comm'S-don, for instance, had actually come pledged to elect a particular Chaitmin, and a paid one at that.Tha Government said they bad an old friend, cut in the cold, for whom it was nicest ary to pro-vine, «*>»* provit ion was to te made accordingly against the principle which bad always prevailed in a body, the members of which valn-d, as a iule, their time and their sers less above m re pay.Yet, although this matter was a foregone conclusion with the maj >rity, the fame wm to be gone through of asking the nine g< ntismen composing the Board to select the most fitting man amongtt them and elect him as their Chairman.The thing was positively ridiculous and insulting So thsir common sense.He again réitérât.d that he should like to modify the phraseology of the parsgtaph complained of, but thought it better to keep to plain Eugli h, as he deeply fvlt that the conduct of the Government bad b sn an absolute breach of faith.(Applause ) Mr.Joseph said there bad been no agreement between this Board and the present Government ; consequently there could be breach of faith.He therefore thought it uncalled for to use such wo.d*, which even numbers of the council had conslden d \u201cvery pungent\u201d Mr.fi.S.Scott thought the real question waa, could we rzicute our ha bor improvements without the sssistauce of the Government T He held rot.With nspecttu the alleged change of policy in tbe matter, such a coarse on the part ot a new Government was far from being unprecedented.Many projected undertaking* bad been upset in this way, and no etriem fault had been found or ciime made of the circumatan:*, notably the Pacific hallway and other mud s.-hemes He thoroughly egtsed with Mr.Dobell that it woold oe belt! r if the Govt r ament left us and our trade alone ; but at tbe tame time be beUuved it wss wimr to abstain frem ssjitg anything offensive at this jnnctnre.Air.J.Borstal), ai a ral^, disapproved of the acts of the Council (Uughter,) but be thought the Chairman was right iu this parti-«lt Tbs question wss not a question of a change of policy, but one cf the br.akitg cr observance of a regular bargain.No change of personnel ccutd or should make gny difference in the engagements of the Government./Hear, hear.) The President didn't think a British Ministry would ever dream of disturbing a previous arrangement respecting prlvaU interests, and this certainly seemed to be coming within tbat category.Mr H.S.Hcott taid it wss nothing new for them even to interfere in vested inti rests.Mr Vrcods differed from the P?« ident\u2014 this Board bad urged sad very property urged on Government ihe need of a

the heaviest loads ever hauled to this State.\u2014[Mr.Peter MoArthnr is member of the firm of McArthur Bros, of Toronto and Quebec.] A Winter Mall Service Steamer to ply across the Straits of Northumberland, baa been decided upon, and the contract for building It has been awarded to Mr.E.W.Sewell, of Quebec, who is the projector of the scheme to secure to this country an uninterrupted aud Independent com manic Atlon with Europe via the St.Lawrence ; this service Is looked upon as the Initiatory step towards tbe winter navi, gallon of the Ht.Lawrence.The steamer will be so constructed that her draught of water forward will be but a few Inches, so that the fore-foot will press on tbe Ice, and her hull will be so formed that no right angle pressure can be made by ice on any portion of Its anr-face.\u2014Wttneii.Cannibalise at Sea.\u2014The ship Greta Capt.M'Creile, arrived Iq the Mersey, March from Ban Francisco, having oq board tbe captain, first mate, and eight men of tbo sail ng ship Qreat Britain, whom they bad picked up\u2019In an open boat to ths Atlantic, about 600 miles from Cape Clear.Tbe statement of the master of tbe Great Britain, Mr.3.K.Chilcot, of Liverpool, shows tbat they passed throngh period of terrible Buffering.The vessel was bound Lorn Darien to Liverpool, with a cargo Umber, but encountering tempestuous weather, she became completely waterlogged.Tbe crew remained by her, however, for some d«yn, during which tbe captain's two eons died.At last, seeing no hope of rescue, the captain and crow, numbering thirteen men, took to a boat, leaving tbe captain\u2019s dead sons on the vessel.The provisions having been near.y all spoiled very little could be taken on board tbe boa', and for six days they were loesed about, enduring the agony of slow starvation.On the teventb day a s'eamer was sighted, and every possible means were taken to attract the attention of thdso on board, bat wltUoht success, and as tbo steamer disappeared the utifortunate crew gave themselves up to despair.The cook, who up to that time, had been the mo«t cheerful, and had tried to keep up tbe spirits of bU companions, became completely desponden', and died that night from exhaustion.Next day another man died, and, as thoee who were left bad been without fool or drink for three days, they ate the livers of tbelr dead comrades, selecting these parts on acccunt of the blood they contalued, aud with which they quenched their terrible thirst.On the following day a third roan died, and the remainder were so reduced that they could barely crawl about tbe bo.ri.On tbe ninth day, after lexvlng tbelr vessel they were picked up by tbe Greta and taken on board, where every ktndhess was shown ta them, but In spile of the cere With whteh they were treated their privations had been ho severe that qrhqn they were landed at L.lvetyAq), Jhc' majority were eo ^euk that they had to be taken to the hospital.The captain, however, was able to go to bis
