[" \u2022\t-T r COMMERCIAL AND SHIPPING GAZETTE VOL.XXXH.QUEBEC, MONDAY.APRIL 8.1878.No.11,870 Th« London Free Press remarks t\u2014 \u201cSome cariosity is lelt as to the question whether or not, in case of war, prirateer-mg will take place.It is pointed out that Russia is a party to the Declaration of Paris, which abolished privateering ; and while war would sweep out of existence whatever treaties she may have with England, as her enemy, it would not touch the engagements to which other nations were conjoint parties.But even were it otherwise, it would be difficult to see bow privateering would pay in the absence of accessible Russian porta into which prises could be taken.It would be from the following tables compiled from official returns : Statement shewing the milage of Railways in the different Provinces of Canada, built or subsidised by the Dominion Government, or by the Government of Canada, prior to Confederation.luitc possible, of course, to destroy British \u2018merchantmen at sea without con voy at the start, bat the ubiquity of English gunboats, we suspect, speedily put an end to that 1 amusement '' would kind of The Ottawa Free Press says \u201cIn their wisdom the Police Committee of Montreal have appointed six mounted police* men, who are to patrol the streets.The Chief of Police asked tor a large incroase in the number of constables, but the Committee replied they had no money, and all they could do was to give the six horsemen.The miserable excuse of no money, at the time when the city is arranging to make a fresh loan from a city bank, is not calculated to put down the cut*ihroat rowdies who now rule the city of Montreal with the revolver and slung shot, and is convincing proof that the authorities have neither tbe ability nor the desire to put down the rowdyism which has made that city a byword on the continent.\u201d ______________ THE JOLY CABINET AND POLICY.We have seen that the dismissal of the DeBoucherrille Cabinet from office was simply an exercise of the royal prerogative, and called for under the circumstances.The Lieutenant Governor appeals to the people to judge between himself and his late advisers.It is therefore self-evident the rights and liberties of the people have not been invaded.The true issue to day U between the policy of the DeBoucheryilleCabinet, comporting arbitrary legislation, the confiscation of municipal rights, the suppression of the Courts oi the land, the vesting of judicial powers m the Executive, and the introduction of direct taxation ; and the policy of the Joly Cabinet, coni{>ort-ing respect for municipal rights, the maintenance of jndicial functions distinct from the Executive, the completion of the great public works to which the Province stands committed, and retrenchment m the public expenditure so as to permit of the administration of affairs without the necessity of additional taxation.It is to be hoped the issue will be manfully and fairly met at the polls.There esn be but one opinion, that if the July programma can be successfully worked out, it will be the duty and interest of the people of this Province to heartily support the new administration.What are the great public works to which the faith of the country stands pledged?the railway system, which is destined to develop the vsst resources of the Province.Some three millions are required to complete the Quebec, Montreal Ottawa and Occidental Railway, and \u2022ay another million to assure the early completion of tne local lines.Five militons therefore would be more than sufficient to meet all requirements How then may this amount be raised without additional taxation; by retrenchment in the public expenditure.I he pay of ministers and members of the Legislature may be easily reduced by 925, 000, not to speak of the abolition of the Legislative Council, which costs annually some $50,000 Twenty per cent reduction on all salaries over $750 per annum will be a saving of over $25,000 The departmental contingent account will easily stand a reduction of over $25,Ul)0.not to allude to the expediency of weeding out useless officials The police and immigration items, as representing an uncalled for outlay yielding no commensurate returns should be suppressed, a saving of some $110,000 ; the item lor stipendiary magistrates might be reduced by $25,000, and the long list of grants to charitable and literary institutions, say $100000, might be dispensed with for the present, the State having a more pressing duty to perform in the development ot the system of internal means of communication, and the duty ot supporting these institutions devolving more appropriately upon private enterprise.I hese savings, open to modifications and proba w \u2022t K m tr

transfer of the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway to the Dominion should therefore be seriously considered and discussed at the coming Local and Federal elections : no more momentous questions oan engage the attention of the peeple.The advent of the Joly Cabinet must necessarily facilitate the opening of negotiations with the central Government : the Province has probably suffered in the past from the very unfriendly relations which existed between tbe DeBoucherville Cabinet and the Federal authorities.In 18T5 Mr.Joly submitted in the Legislative Assemby a resolution declaring the Provincial road to be more properly a Dominion work, and a portion of tbe Canada Pacific Railway.it now devolves on the Joly Cabinet tq follow this .up by serious negotiations with the Ottawa Government.It is easy to understand, that were these negotiations carried to a successful issue the Province of Quebec would be extricated from a somewhat tempo-.'ary difficult position, and an era of prosperity would be inaugurated which would entitle the Liberal party to the hearty support of tbe people of this Province.Let, therefore, the issue between the DeBoucherville and Joly Cabinets be manfully and fairly fought out at the polls : let false issues, false statements and religious prejudices be discountenanced with firmness.Let the Joly Cabinet be accorded (as they are consUtu^on&lly emitledtto), a fair trial : and let them, after the elections and in the halls oi the Legislature, be finally judged by their professions and perform anoes.I (The buildiogs sod the property generally,

judiciously estimate J the forces and prospects of Britain in a war with Ruasia, should such a contingency happen.It is said by some would-be very wise peo pie that without an alliance with Austria, Britain would not be able to wage successfully a war with Russia.As has been remarked, the question must have been considered by tbe British military authorities, who are conversant with all the circumstances of the case ; and it is hardly to be supposed that they would make preparations for a campaign which is utterly impracticable, and ot the impracticability of which the Russians must be as well aware as they are.The design of Britain, it is supposed, is to check Rug sian pretensions, to keep Russia out of Constantinople, and to prevent Russia from obtaining control of the Bosphorus.In order to do this let a British force of men be landed at or near Galli- What thxt bat of it i a raw Faon von thb Pnorus.\u2014There are bat few preparations of medlelncs which have
