falling off in tbe net profite thus exhibited is to be explained by the fact that, in addition to tbe losses incident to an extensive commercial business, appropriation! have this year been required to supplement previous estimates.The amount set aside to meet tbe deficiency in securities and to cover donbtful debts at the date of last review could not then be regarded otherwise than ample ; but owing to tbe prolonged depression in every branch of business, and the consequently very greet depreciation in the vaines of sll kinds of property, it hes been unexpectedly lonnd Inadequate.Prcfitticg by this.experience the Directors have, as a measure of précaution, made what they trust will prove abundant p.ovision for probable ns well as ascertained losses, and they confidently believe that the valoation put upon the Bank\u2019s assets places them beyond doubt Upon a safe besi-i.The Directors, observing the course of business, decided last fill to reduce the dividend to five per cent (or the half-year, and, in view of the earning power of the Bank having been well maintained, they resolved to nse a portion of the rest to meet the deficiency caused by the general depreciation of assets already referred to, rather than further lessen t^e distribution at this perlcd.The Directors regret that this diminution has been fonnd necessary, bnt they consider that the interests and wishes of the shareholders sure consulted in the view taken, that while one iuoction of tbe rest consista in supplying a dividend augmenting fond, another of the ends for which it was accumulated in more prosperous times was to meet such an exigency &s that which now compels a poition to be with drawn ; and the fact mast not be overlooked that the lund still remains at the laige figure of five millions of dollars, which is equal to \u2022bout 41 per cent of the capital.Tbe figures of the general statement do not call for mnch notice.A falling cfl in the note circulation to tbe extent of $225,284 bas taken place, which was only to be expected In the diminished volume of trade.The increase of $1,473,123 in tbe aggregate deposits at call will only be temporary -, both that and the decrease of $529,959 In deposits at Interest, are attritotable to the working of the Government account.In fact, the amount of funds held by the Bank for the public shows a moderate increase, which is the mere gratifying when the state of matters generally throughout the country, and tbe eager competition of Banks snd Loan and Uavings Societies are considered.The increase in the balances due from other Banks snd institutions is owing to a large amount of the reserves being held by the foreign agents ot the Bank, where they are readily available in case of any emergency The increase of Bank Premises Account arises frem tbe acqulsidon of more eligible premises at Hamilton, purchased at a low figure ; and also of the premises which tbe Agency at Pictoo has for a number of years occupied at a rental.All the officers of the Bank have undergone a thorough inspection daring the year, and the staff, which, owing to the diminished volnme ot boainess, and tbe simplification ot Ihe American currency, has had its routine Uboors lessened, has been somewhat reduced with a view to economical administration.While the Directors trust the depression in trade, which has so long been painfully felt, has now largely spent Its force, the outlook is too uncertain to warrant the expecution of nn early recovery.The improvement now visible In the United States may be reflected in acme slight degree upon ns in a better $36,221,226 29 Bask or Mostbsal, Montreal, 30th April, 1879.R.B Axons, General Manager.It was moved ty the Chaibmsn, seconded by Dr.W.G.Caxpbiil,\u2014That the report of the Directors now read be adopted and printed fer distribution among the shareholders.Mr.Gbcros Stxphin, President, said,\u2014In asking you to pass this motiou perhaps you will allow me to say, with reference to the results of the year\u2019s business, that while I fully share la the disappointment which you must all more or less feel because of tbe great falling eff in the net earnings of the Bank, I am greatly encouraged by tbe fact that, notwithstanding tb) adverse circnm-atancee under which we have worked during the whole of the past year, the Bank has shown an almost ondiminiahed capacity to earn profits, so that in iuture it will not be so mnch a question of increased earnings os of diminished losses.It is trne we have been obliged to draw on our past accumulations for a sum .which, though considerable in itself, is lees than 10 per cent, of tbe amount at tbe credit of that Fund ; but 1 am happy to believe that tbe position and credit of the Bank, both at home and abroad, never stood higher than it does to-day.The past two years, and more particularly the one just ended, have, as you all know, been exceedingly disastrous to the commercial a&d fluan-clal interests of the country, and it is not to be wondered that we, with our widely extended business aod large aggregate of loans, should have shared in the misfortunes and losses which bavo been all but universal As to tbe condition of tbe trade and commerce of the country, you will observe the language of the report Is very cautious.1 would faiu hope that we have seen the worst, and that trade from this time out will begin to improve and become profitable, bnt there b still much need for cantion.Although wc have preserved the old form of statement, there can be no impropriety on this ocaastjn in mentioning that tbe profits of tie year, alter deducting c >st of management, amounted to the sam of $1,758,335.From that sum, as you are aware, it was found necessary, this year, to make very large appropriations amounting in the aggregate to $1,154,-784, to cover whatever appt&red to be bad or doubtful, and to allow for shrinkage in the assets of the Bank, end also to provide for possible or anticipated losses.It has been painful, of course, to to devote so Urge an amonnt to aneb purposes, bat it is well you should understand that it has been swelled to some extent by the desire on tbe part of tbe Executive and the Board to do the work thoroughly.Mr.Allan Gilmour, who has been a member of tbe Board for some years past, finding it inconvenient to attend the meetings of the Board, has declined to be a candidate for re-election.I am happy to be able to inform yea that the Bjard has recently been able to persuade our friend Mr, E.H.King to occept tbe position of Chairman of tbe London Committee of tbe Bank.I am sore this announcement will be bailed with the greatest satisfaction by every one Interested in the welfare of the Bank.Tbe motion was carried unanimously.The Cbaibmax observed that, In tbe event of any Shareholder desiring to ask questions, they were at liberty to do so.Mr.John Crawford desired to ask, for another shareholder, why the Directors had not given in their report a statement of tbe gross amount of earnings snd a detailed statement of the losses, so that the Shareholders might have an opportunity of criticising the losses, and act according as their judgment might dictate ?He thought it was a question that had been propounded many years ago, and ho did not now see any objection to it personally.He thought there had always been too much secrecy in baoking statements, and be presumed it was on that account that ho had been asked to briag the matter forward.The Chairxan supposed it would be just as agreeable to Mr.Cranford as to himself if Mr.Angus was to answer tbe question.Mr.Cbawfobd thought that, as no one else was going to say anything, be wonld continue bis remarks.They were all agreed that exceptional and severe losses had occurred since last meeting.What now concerned them most was to discover the evils and ap.ply the remedy.They could not recall tbe past.That could only be used as a beacon.At the same time oue of the planks which he would urge to be laid down in tbeir now platform was rigid and systematic economy.Tbe present position of affairs which they were cons dering, was due, in a great measure, to two causes\u2014mismanagement and misfortune.Now it was tor them to consider what proportion of responsibility for these reverses should be borne by either of the parties concerned\u2014tbe Executive, Directors, and the Shareholders themselves.He would leave the Chairman to detertniue what proportion.Whatever fault might be attached to the Board\u2014and he held thrm primarily responsible fer these losses\u2014the shareholders bad nevertheless mate)ially contributed to the downward progress of the institution.Kreu competition has led to a wide departure from legitimate business.It had been said that the Bank bad speculated largely in commercial paper, advances on produje, Ac., governing the selection of Etcurities by quantity rather than quality.The result of all this has been that insolvent, have been superseded for solvent ones, and tbe latter bave bïen driven almost entirely eff the course.In fact, be was a living type of the latter, and was still able to pay bis debts, and would continue to do so if the National Policy does not fall through.He Lad even giv«D, and offered, 5 and 6 ptr cent of compensation, and had been outstripped by other competitors.In fact it was not so much tbe rate of discount as the amount of money required, and consequently he had bad to retire.He thought that credit bad been forced ap jn men calling themselves merchants, and who really bal not the first elements of success, commercially, besides many other elements equally as essential.He contended that due caution had not been exercised in this particular.Experience teaches that two accounts, all other tbiags being equal, are better and safer than one.The anomaly of directors have also had something to do with the recent abasing disasters.They are systematically tanght that they are beyond responsibility ; hence prudential measures are considered by them as unnecessary, and Bank administrative acts as of secondary consideration.In a word, he believed tbe Banking Act to be a fraud, and its provisions utterly impaired, because directors who can perpetuate their own election, by the election of themselves through proxies, cannot be expected to take that interest io the affairs of the Bank which they would otherwise do.Au amendment to tbe Banking Act came up to be passed at Ottawa the otner day, tbe promoters of which certainly deserve credit for their efforts, for it Interested no one but themselves.Ha remembered endeavoring to get signatures to that petition and signally failed.One to whom he applied was busy in contracts, another was engaged in disc tinting, and another was getting married, so that this really much needed amendment to Ihe Banking Act had to be postponed until Providence or some other power again came to their relief.(Laughter and applause.) As he saw bis audience was get ting impatient he would only add a word as to the remedy he would suggest.His remedy would be to expunge from the Statute Book the proxy system, because its abuses could could not otherwise be obliterated.He would give it no quarter, lu lieu ci voting by proxy he proposed substituting the old sliding scale which limits the power of voting to twenty vote?, and he would have inspectors appoint ed by the shareholders to examine into tbe value of ttuij property.Witn those few remedies dnly applied, they would hear no mere of Bi:k disasters for the next two or three decades, when ho hoped they would all m< et io take tbe matter over.(Laughter ) He thanked the meeting for listening with such utt-ntion to his remarks.Mb Joh:* McDonald agreed in a measure with woac Mr.Crawford had said.He had repeatedly endeavoured to obtain a loan of $2,000, but tbe rate bad been so high that he was compelled to give it up.He had been a customer ot the Bank for the last 30 years, and had never fated in bis engagements, and thought Lo should have been able to obtain any accommodation he wanted.Had such been the ciso with him and others tbe Di recto s would not have been misled to the extent which had just be^n stated.He hoped he would g^t a straightloruard answer to tbe question he was about to ask with regard to granting to much accommodation in certain quarters, and in doing so he was speaking in behalf of the whole of the stockholders, and in view of tbe disasters that had overtaken other institutions, he thought it time to speak.He had been told that some of the directors held a railway in the West and required large accommodation for it.He would tay, without lear, that he was as independent a stockholder cs any one, acd asked if there was foundation for the rumour which had been currently mentioned on tbe street 7 Ur.Cbawfobd bare interposed and said tbe shareholders had disenfranchised them selves by granting proxies to tbe directors who had thus prolonged their tenure of cilice.He asked if acts performed under sneb ecsy tenure, did not degenerate Into mere routine?This seemed to bo the only conclusion he could arrive at.Mb.Ibomab Workman said Mr.Crawford bad asked the Chairman to furnish a detailed acccudt of the names of tbe parties by which the Bank had sustained a loss.Such a course be thought would be very injudicious, aud would not be sustained by tbe shareholders of tbe Bank.To furnish these names would have no good tendency whatever.Mb.Cbawfobd was very sorry he could net support Mr.Workman in what ha had aid He would bavo the nanuo of such parties placarded ou the walls of the Bank.Mb.Wobkmax said that such procedure would merely satisfy tbe morbid desireof some person.Mb.Cbawfobd said it would ba respectable and no evil result would be derived from it Mr.E.H.Eisa said that an inspection of tbe statements of tbe Banks for the past few years showed that severe losses had been met.In days gone by the Bank like a ship sailing before a fair wind, with all sails set, made a prosperous voyage but within tbe last ffve years that picture was completely reversed.Depression has been felt in all r.TEIYIPERLEY LINE.17

bearing in mind these circumstances, the question présente 1 Itself to bis mind whether the losses which have been incurred might not only have been less, but even a great deal more.With regard to tbe system of Itmitatlou of vcUs aud voting by proxy, be tboujl t irraeasutj cfc that might be very fairly dUc .s .el un its mitts.He was inclined te» ihvor u mciLficaiiob in that direction.He ctiled partie uUr t.tienuon to the statement subuiued, iu which Le relied, as should also all the shareholders.He alluded to it for the purpose of reFiarkiog significantly that the statement was volunteered that provision bad been made for bad and doubtful debts by taking from the Rest.Tbe amount thus taken is amply sufficient to cover all losses known, and that can be reasonably foreseen.He attached at this period the greatest importance to that statement, and was satisfied that tbe directors were fully susceptible of the responsibility they incurred in making the statement before the shareholders, in whom it must inspire a certain degree of confidence as to tbe vaine of the property.In view of the most disr:-putable disasters that have occurred to tbe backing iuBtitutious of Great Britain aod tbe widespread suffering to shareholders, and tbe serious loss and suffering brought about by tbe mismauagemeut of Banks in Canada, be thought he was not wrong in saying that Bank Directors should be watched very seriously and thoroughly, and that in banking legislation this should not be lost sight of, aud that tbe responsibility be made more direct and methodic than at present.He thought they wonld then And that the mismanagement which they so deeply regretted in this country and elsewhere would receive a salutary check.The Chairman expreesod the pleasure he felt that the remarks of his friend Mr.McDonald had given him an opportunity to re-ply to the statement that some one ran a railway.He explained that so railway had ever owed the Bank one dollar that could not be collected whenever the Bank declined to lend.Mr.McDonald said that be bad heard the rumor outside from time to time, aud, as Mr.King had remarked, be thought It was we'l to look after the directors.The losses that had occurred in Glasgow caused shareholders to look seriously after the directors, in whose hands they had entrusted tbeir property- Hon.Mr.D.A.Smith said he would like to make one remark.He bad invariably been in a position to hold money In tbe Bank rather than being a borrower.The railway referred to was not indebted to the Bank of Montreal; Mr.Cbawfobd would be glad if the anomaly or discrepancy could bo done away with which seemed to exist between tbe statements of the Bank made under authority to tbe Government and those made to the public.There was a discrepancy of 19 or 15 per cent, and Iu other Backs still more.Bur ly soma scheme could ba devised in order that these etaUments might better agree, and the public be satisfied that there is nothing concealed.The only means that be knew of was by the appointment of auditors for the purpose of inspection.This could be obtained in amending the Banking Act.Sir A T.Galt said they were all aware that next year Parliament will have to take ap the uonsideration of the renewal of Ba k Charters, and to consider in Its different bearings tbe responsibility of bankers, defining their responsibility and making that usponsitillty more direct.There could be no doubt that these and other facts in connection with the Banking Act would bs considered very diligently by the banking insulations throughout the conntry, and by none with gre>ter interest than by tbe Bank of Montreal.It was not to the credit of tbe bank that any of tbe acts which bad tended to disaster in other institutions should pass unnoticed.Mb.Muib referred to the marked attention that had been directed towards the banking system la Great Britain and to tbo evils sometimes attending tbe appointment of auditors by the directors, as exemplified in the case of the Union Bank of Scotland.Mr.Cbawfobd said the appointment of the auditors by tbe Board or by the Government would be perfectly frivolous.Tbe greatest noodle appointed by the shareholders would be more suitable, as he would have the power so unearth anything that might transpire on the Board.He had no confidencs whatever in auditors appointed other than by the shareholders, owing to the diversity of interests existing between the Board aud shareholders.Mr.Morbay d'd not think the discussion at all to be regretted.To take but $500,000 from the Best was a great deal better than he expected, lie was quite disposed to unite with Mr.Crawford and tbe other gentlemen in icdacing the Legislature to adopt a more direct influence in the actual control of the L'anks.He considered the statement very eatisftetory, and would go another step farther and say that, if another half-million dollars had been taken trom tbe Best, the shareholders would have got off very well, considering the large amount ofbusi-ntss tbe Bank does.One thing he would like to take exception to, i.e.appropriating a portion of the Best to meet the dividend, which looked from the statement as though tbe Bank conld not pay a dividend without taking it from the Reserve Fond.He would like to have it seen that the amount ot bad debts were taken from the Best and the interest to have been taken from the profits of the year.Mr.Cbawfobd was opposed to diminishing the Rest tor the purposes of a dividend, and wonld prefer that the latter should be kept down rather than that the Best should be reduced.Mr.B.B.Amqws said be wan not surprised at all at the criticisms which bad taken place in reference to the statements before the meeting.He had rather to thank tbe (Shareholders for the intelligent way In which they bad looked upon them.There could not be a doubt that the Bank had passed through a period of very great depression and disaster, and that the general iodation of several years ago had a great deal to answer for in the losses ot to-day.The view taken by Mr.Murray, in reference to the statement, was tbe speaker\u2019* own, when he was making tbe statement out, and although tbe procedure of many years back had been followed in tbe returns of to-day, they would observe that in tbe remarks of the President an explanation of the statement had been given that bad not been given on any previous occasion.With respect to the amount of the gross earnings and of tbe lusses which bad been deducted therefrom, he did not think that it would be advisable to reduce the Best much farther, and he hoped the necessity would not arise.But be was quite sure that in appropriating a portion of tbe Best to meet the dlvi deed, or rather, as it had been pat, to provide for a portion of the losses Incurred, was a sound and wise course, the reason being, that the earning capacity ot the Bank had been very slightly impaired.There was every reason to believe ihat in succeeding years, without wishing to make any prediction, or to be held responsible for the pro mise, that a dividend such as had been paid that day could be maintained without any further withdrawal from the rest,\u2014(Applause.) The Directors, under these clr-cnmstauces, were amply justified in using a portion of the previous accumulations to meet the losses.To detail these losses wonld be an inconvenient and an unpleasant task.Inconvvnient In this respect that some present who had had practical experience of thess matters well knew that when they provide for probable losses they have to deal with live accounts.They have to set aside a portion for loeaes that are ¦till current for securities that have been COMINIOP!

But there would be no objection iu bis miod to giving every information to independent auditors appointed by a meeting of shareholders or by the Government ; although ho thought the latter course would not be so desirable as the former.Tbo shareholders could keep this statement in tbeir own hands and the Hank wonld, therefore, not be liable to influence from without, which might be used to its prejudice.The question of expense which bad been mentioned, had had the serious consideration of tbe Directors, which had resulted in reducing the general charges, and he hoped that during the year on which they were about to enter a still further curtailment of expenditure would be found practicable without interfering in any degree with tbe efficient working of the business.Referring to tbe Directors\u2019 loans, ha desired to say one word.It would, Id his opinion, be a misfortune to the Bank if tho shareholders were to gat impatient with regard to that matter, and it would not be judicioos, at any time, to givo even a detailed statement of that account.The Bank had no right to give figuras of other people\u2019s business, but if tbe share-holders got unreasonable and did not trust tbeir Directors in that respect and wished these loans to disappear from tbe books it could bo done.They had just to eay so, and in a very few days the loans represented by the Directors would be withdrawn ; but he could only say that the Bank would then lose some of the most deeirablo business in Canada, and simply transfer to rivals the opportunity of making money which the Bank has now the monopoly of.(Hear, hear and applause).While speaking on this subject, it might be gratifying to tbe shareholders to know that the at entlou of the Management had been directed to the reduction of any large demands either from commercial l.flrmo, public instttutioos or Corporations.The Bank bas not a railway account that is not amply covered, and it bolds securities of an uoqnestiouable character for anything connected with railways.It has an account of that description that reaches X100,000 and only four accounts which exceed that figure, one of them to the city of Montreal, and the other three are commercial accounts of the highest class, consisting of discounted paper well distributed throughout the country, and involving, in no one instance, any considerable risk.It is business of the highest character.The general statement published may call for some remarks, and which ho thought ought to give to tbe shareholders some gratification.He had sometimes been asked whether it,would not be advisable on the part of this Bank to invest its Best In independent securities which would not be liable to the fluctuations of business.Tbe Bank bas accomplished this in another way, without investing in securities iu a manner rendering them liable to change.The Bank keeps a very large reserve\u2014as the Bhareholders may have already noticed\u2014in the hands of foreign agents ; the highest class of securities, and practically as valuable as cash in band to meet any unforeseen contingency or sudden demand, whether for the protection of the Bank or to extend its money.earning powers.Tho amount of iu ds which the Bank has in that way jast now is over four millions of dollars, and this with the gold and silver coin, and the Government legal tender notes, and notes of other banks, amounting in the aggregate to eight millions of dollars, against liabilities to the public of eighteen millions of dollars ; so that the Bank has cash ready to pay off about, one-half of all its liabilities to the public at a moment\u2019s notice, and has behind ft twenty-seven million dollars of loans in Canada represented by the best class of business that tbe country affords.(Applause.) Mr, Kino said tbe explanations just hoard from the Manager were all of the highest importance, and reflected most high ly the credit of the Bank.The Cxaibmam said no one regretted this discussion, and he was sure that all would profit by what they had heard.Mr.Clabei again introduced the question of the desirability of abolishing tbe proxy system.\t# The Chaibman said this and other matters need not be discussed at tbe present meeting, bnt would no doubt be seriously considered during the coming session of Parliament, when the Bank charters will doubtless undergo revision.The motion for tbe adoption of tbe Report was put and carried.Moved by Mr.John Cbawfobd, seconded by Mr.Thob.Davisson,\u2014That the thanns of tbe meeting be given to tbe General Manager, the Managers, Agents and other officers of tbe Back for their set vices during the past year.Mr.Cbawfobd, in presenting the motion said that sometimes during the past year he must say the anxieties of tbe Board bad been far greater than in past years, when every thiog went on more smoothly.The motion was carried.Mr.Angus thanked the shareholders for this mark of their confidence.Moved by Mr.Tuos.Workman, seconded by Capt.B.W.Shipusbd, That the ballot now open for the election of Directors be kept open until three o\u2019clock, unless fifteen minâtes elapse without a vote being cast, when it shall be closed, and until that time and for that purpose only, this meeting be continued.\u2014Carried.At the close of the ballot the Bcrutineers presented the following report of the result of the ballot Montbsal, 2nd June, 1879.Bra,\u2014We declare tbe following gentlemen duly elected Directors this day ; G.W.Campbkll, M.D., Bib A.T.Galt, Edward Mackat, Alkx Mobray, Pbtsb Bidpath, Hon.Thos.Ryan, Hon.D.A.Smith, Gbobgi Stbphin, , G1LBBBT tiOOTT, We are, bir, Your obd\u2019t aerv\u2019ts., (Signed), W.B.Cummins, Tuos.Davidson.To the General Manager Bank of Montreal.The meeting closed.LIVERPOOL as follows:\u2014 MI88I8BIPPI.6aturdayf-June.TEUTONIA .QUEBEC.TEXAS.DOMINION.BROOKLYN.14 th 2 lit \u2022< 28th \u2022* 5th Ju y.12th \u2022« RATK8 OF PASSAGE : Cabin.$50 and $80 No steerage taken.Through Tickets can be bad at all tbe principal Grand Trank Railway Ticket Offices In Canada, and Through Bills of Leading are granted to and from all parts of Canada.For Freight or Pas age, apply to, In London, Bowring, Jamieson A Oo , 17 East India Avenne ; in Liverpool, to Fllnn, Main A Mont, gomery, 24 James Street ; at all Grand Trank Railway Offices ; or to DAVID TORRANCE A CO , Exchange Court, Montreal, acd iWM.M.MAOPHERSON, Commercial Chambers, M)2, St.Peter Street, Quebec.May 30.1879* \u20ac£EO.P.no wiEiiEi ftoa Newspaper Advertising Bureau.! ?or Ten Cents : One hundred page Pamphlet with Lists of Newspapers and Advertising Rates.for Ten Dollars Four lines inserted one week in Three dundred and Fifty Newspapers.10 Spruce N.Y.St *9 r> UMARD UNE.W1 NOTICE.JTH THE VIEW OF DIMINISHING tha chances of collision, tbs Steamers of this Lin* take a specified course for all seasons of tbe year, On the Outward Passage from Queenstown to New York or Boston, crossing Meridian of 60 at 48 Lat., or nothing to tbs North of 48.On the Homeward Passage, crossing the Meridian of 50 at 42 La'., or nothing to tbe North of 42.CUNARD STEAMSHIP COMPANY LIMITED.ALLAN LINE!

direction, but to my mind It is a poor rule that cannot wont both ways !1Irj it is about time the citizens of Old Btadacona saw things in that light.Why not reverse tte order of tblngs and have a monster de-moaetratiou here 7 Where, I would ask, are \u2022 be facilities for such to be found anywhere in Canada to equal those of Quebec ?Is It F e\u2019.cher t Field or the old JSgtovn Common 7 £oib ; here we bave tbe Plains ot Abrabam, where history tells os one of tbe moat glorious a d bloodiest baities ot tbe eigbteenth ctn-t ry was foughr, shedding renowu on victor and vanquished alike.Another thing to look wby not giro a chance to our country corps to Join in T I know of some very fine battalions in our rural districts who are anxious for such au occasion to show to the people their proficiency in drill, and it would be an incentive to them to redoublo their efforts to equal if not surpass their city kre-them.Another attraction could be added to be above, tbat is a regatta.Are we not blessed with one of tbe grandest sheets of water for such purposes in tbe world, and bave we not as good bone and muscle as any other citv T Tuen why not utilise them and show the world we have them.Come to the front ye men of energy and spirit, and rouse our oltiaens out oi that drowsy Rtp-Van-Wiukl-Ism into which they have fallen this few years back, and not bave Quebec playing second fiddle.Yours, VlIUTAB.Quebec, 4th June, 1879.Qnebec Unrbor CommlNaloD.The regular monthly meeting of the Harbor Commission was held yesterday afternoon.Present A Woods, Esq., Chairman ; tbe Hon I Thlbaudeau, and Messrs J dbebyn, W Rae, R R Dobell, E W Howell, J H Simons, J Piamondon, Commissioners.The Chairman r^ad bis monthly Report, which was confirmed and is as follows Harbor Commissionihb\u2019 Orrioa, Qcibio, 4th June, 1879.THE CHAIRMAN\u2019S REPORT FOB THE MONTH OF MAY, 1879.XARIOB 1MFBOTIKINTI\u2014OBIBWOBX.It affords me much pleasure to have to state that the works of Harbor Improvements have been resumed and that the contractors intend working day aod night very shortly.Tbe contractors have made good the greater part of the damage done by tbe ice to the outside crlbwork, and have commenced laying tbe platforms and crlbwork to coping level at tbe Gas Wharf.The remaining portion oi the low crlbwork Is being constructed iu one length in titu, and is being carried on with vigour.No.10 deep crib Is nearly complete and will be sunk at next spring tides ; tho remaining 40 feet being nearly ready tor floating down.DRIDGIRG.Tbe trench for tbe crlbwork and tbe wet dock channel has advanced to opposite the end of Peter street.The concrete work of last season has stood tbe test of winter perfectly, the deep crib-work blocks shewing no sensible alteration either in line or level.OBAvise oeax.Tbe Contractors for this work have made a start with work for this season : some plant and workmen having arrived from St.Catherines.The contract for tbe construction of the Caisson for the Dock has been awarded on the 14th of the month, to the firm Richardson A Co., of Newcastle-on-Tyne.Tbeir tender, amounting to £6004 8s, 7d., sterling, was tbe lowest.WHARF FOR THI GRAND TRUNK FIBRY.This wharf has been successfully sunk last week and the work of superstructure Is progressing rapidly, and there oau ba no doubt now as to the possibility of completing tbe work for the 16tfi June.Lirruia bargb.The Lifting Barge has been towed In tbe stream on the 27th of tbe month.She resumed her operations the same day.Thu instructions given tjtha Captain were tbat be was to work on tbe boulders inside tbe Fly Bank till be would be ordered on tbe wreck known as \u201cL\u2019Orignal.\u201d Just as he was to make fast tbe larger boulder known as existing on that spot, tbe master of a ship in the harbonr roported one oi his anchors fast at the bottom, and tbat be bad broken bis windlass in attempting to raise it.The master of tbe barge was thereupon directed to make a survey in order to ascertain the kind of the obstructicn.He reported tbat the anchor in question was caught in a nest.The Barge has since been working on this nest, and two anchore and sixty fathoms of obaiu have already been secured.The discovery of this nest of anebors and chains Is an evidence that we were under a false impression when, last year, we declared that no more nests were In existence, or tbat, if some really exist, they wtra covered with sand.BALLAST.Since the opening of navigation five ships wore ordered to discharge their ballast at the Breakwater.Tbe aggregate quantity of ballast discharged by them amounts to nineteen hundred (1,900) tons.BIVINUI.Tbe following is a comparative statement of tbe does collected during tbe month and tbe corresponding mouth of the previous year May.1878.\t1879 difference in 1879 Import dues $684\t40\t$383\t90\t$200\t60\tdo\u2019rs Export \u201c\t169\t82\t66\t91\t103\t91\t\u201c Tonnage

opposite Margaret Island, thereby obstructing navigation.After legal advice, he Is satisfied be has no author! ty iu tbe matter but encloses a by-law to oover the ground, which by-law was read, and provides tbat, as soon as vessels bave discharged their ballast, they shall move to a distance ot half a mile from low water mark off Crane Island or to westward of Grosse Isle under a penalty of one hundred dollars.The by-law was read a first time and ordered for a second reading next week.Resolutions were passed authorizing the payment of $4,000 to Messrs.Richard A Co on account of crlbwork done between Wei lingtou and East India wharves.The meeting then adjourned.New Publications.The publication cf Dr.Holmes\u2019 excellent Memoir of Motley has directed attention to that able Historian\u2019s works, and these charming books may be said to bave entered on a new leaso of life in consequence.Hitherto their high price has acted as a barrier against tbe extensive circulation which their merits undoubtedly deserved, and scholars of large means and the libraries only, bave been able to buy them.To meet a very general demand which has set in tbe Messrs.Harper A Bros., of New York\u2014Motley\u2019s original publishers\u2014have just placed upon the market an admirable edition of Tht Rite of the Dutch Republic in three handsome volumes.These books are printed from the original plates, and iu fact are similar in all respects save the quality of paper, which is a little thinner, and tbe binding wnicb to our mind is even bandsomtr (ban tbe early edition which sells at $10.50.The new edition, which Is uniform with Harper\u2019s Macanley in five volumes, sells at the low price of six dollars the set.Motley\u2019s Histories have long been regarded by students and scholars as unexceplionally able books, reliable as to fact, skillui in treatment and ornate anl deligbtlul in style.The historian spent tbe best years of his life in tbeir preparation, and visited several European Coarts and searched tbe archives of dif-lerent countries for his materials.They have been translated into German, French, Dutch, and we believe Russian also, and in Europe to-day are recognised aa the standard authority on the subject.Tbe whole work\u2014as left by Mr.Motley, whose death prevented the full development of his pian\u2014Is in nine volumes, two being devoted to the Life and Times of John of Barneveldt, and four to the History cf tbe Netherlands.Bucb books should be iu every private library in the country, The subject is a noble one\u2014tbe Historian is the first of his class, the class wnicb gave us Macaulay and before his time David Hume.There is no better time than the present to form the acquaintance of Motley, and a oonr&e of tbe historian will well repay tbe reader, especially if ha be a young man of a studious turn, Messrs.Dawson A Co.will supply the book.Mr.Longfellow has completed his dainty series of Poems of Places, vols.30 and 31 having just reached us through the publishers, Masers.Honghtoo, Osgood A Co., of Boston.Tbe one containing tbe poetry which tbe bards wrote of Oceanica is exceedingly full of choice pieces, and the editor has culled largely from representative poets.In addition to a pleasing variety of original poems there is a liberal sprinkling of translations, and these are especially spirited and tuneful, Among the former class we have several of Tennyson\u2019s, and Byron\u2019s, and Procter\u2019s, and Bryant\u2019s noblest efforts, such as the \u201cLotas Eaters,\u201d the \u201cJong of the Tooga-lslauders,\u201d the \u201cStormy Petrel\" and \u2018 A Hymn of tbe Sea.\u201d Among the latter there are an anonymous translation from the German of \u201cThe Phantom Ship,\u201d another from El Duque de Rivas, of the famous Ode to the \u201cLighthouse at Malta,\u201d which r.nge so sonorously lu the ear of ev ry true Jover of poetry, and Sheldon\u2019s version of King Kala Kana\u2019s musical Kame-bameha Hymn.The volume which interests us most, however, is tbe one devoted to tho poetry of British America.This Is, certainly, a rich collection, and we are glad to find so many of our better poets lu tbe Hat.Mr.Charles Saogster famishes some ten or twelve pieces la his best vein, bis \u201cBong for Canada\u201d In the Introductory, his tribute to the \u201cFalls of the Chaudière,1\u2019 bis brilliant \u201cWolfe and Montcalm, and his very pretty \u201cLake of the Thousand Islands,\u201d being particularly flue.There are no fewer than five gems having Quebec for Iheir subject ; tbe best oi these are Caroline Gilman\u2019s tender verses to \u201cTbe Uraullnes,\u201d beginning\u2014 O pure and gentle ones, wltbin your ark Securely rest I Blue be the sky above,\u2014your quiet bark By soft winds blest I Alfred Billings Street\u2019s \u201cQuebec,\u201d and Wm.Kirby\u2019s \u201cMemories of Quebec.\u201d Jhon G.Whittier\u2019s beautiful soug the \u201cRed River Voyageur\u201d bas au honored place lu tbe volume, and Thomas D\u2019Arcy McGee Is well represented by bis \u201cFrima Vista,\u2019\u2019 and \u201cThos.Moure at St.Anne\u2019s.\u201d < Of course the collection would be incomplete without tbe ever popular \u201cCanadian Boat Soug,\u201d and this, and tbat other pretty thing of Moore\u2019s \u201cOadara-qui \u201d appear in their neat setting under the broad heading The St Lawrence River.Mr.Longfellow's contribution consists of a portion of his \u201cEvangeline\u201d\u2014tbe descriptive part\u2014and Mr.Tennyson\u2019s, tbe grand bit \u201cTo tbe Queen\u201d which contains tbe phrase, \u201cthat true North,\u201d which has been quoted more iu Canada than any otber Hue oi poetry.Alex.McLachlan, the Canadian Burns, bas two pieces \u201cCanada,\u201d and \u201cElora,\u201d both of them characteristic of the homely man whose poetry is so widely read.Hunter-Duvar\u2014 a Prince Edward Island poet, contributes a musical

535,926 31,654,318 30,230,712 1,981,647 The bank returns for April indicate no improvement in tbe financial or commercial condition of the country.The first item which challenges attention is tbe continued contraction in circulation, a farther shrinkage of tbe enormous sum oi $1,031,380 having taken place during tbe mouth.This continued falling off is very significant of tho depressed condition of trade and ample proof that substantial improvement has not taken place.Indeed, Ihe contrary view would seem to be demonstrated.Dominion Government deposits, demand and after notice, have de-creased by $289,376, while Provincial Government deposits have increased by $87,449.Public deposita 00 demand have increased by $226,309, while the same after notice have fallen off $1,008,622, or a decrease on pnblio deposits of both kinds cf $782.313, or all told a loss to the banks during the month of $984,142 of the deposits.The amount due to United Kingdom banks has increased daring the month by $461,897.This increase may possibly acconut for tbe ieport tbat the Government has lately been purchasing sterling exchange from the banks.Loans to directors have been increased during tbe month by $458,316, the principal increase being iu tbe Bank of Toronto, $81,037 ; tbe Bank of Montreal, $341,332 ; and tbe (Jonsolidated Bank, $47,923.The Merchants\u2019 B*nk baa reduced loans to Directors by an amount of $38,136.It would be interesting to know what demands the various directors have lately had made upon them to require such large advances of money so suddenly.The assets s'de of the accounls show that specie and Dominion notes have been increased by $374,100, the percentage now held, as compared with circulation, being about 80 per cent ou the whole, though the proportion as between the banks is very unevenly divided, angiog from aient two to over one hundred per cent.Otber assets do not call for special mention till we come to that under loans on stocks which has been reduced by $142,524, the amoaut now standing at $1,-259,866 against $2,798,040, iu October last.Tbe discount line has been again contracted by $1,687,039, which it to be commended, for, when the enormous amount under discount (now $116,382,710) is compared witu the iuzignificaut note circulation, the renewal and accommodation character of the paper under discount is at once apparent, and tbe sooner it is wiped oat and the loss upon it, whatever it may be, provided for, the sooner will we bave a return of a healthy state oi business.Notes overdue and secured are $341,460 less than iu the previous month, and tbe same secured are more by $247,477, which would indicate tbat a considerable amount of unseenred overdue paper has been secured.Otber assets do not call for special mention.The statements on tbe wbole show more iodiotiona of setting tba house in order and providing for loc-ses than an improved state of business, The whole surplus is leas by about $1,000,000, probably due to the large amounts lately written off by some of the banks.Miss Ilertha Voit IIHIern» (he Celebrated Pedestrian.\u2014Tbe oelv rimed/ nued by her after long end continued \u2022?ertion, and in fae'i
