in Ireland not one out of every twenty-two.In the United States the presidential vote in 1880 was 9,204,428, or 18 per cent of the whole population.The number of possible voters ia rated at 20 per cent, the number of males 21 years old or more being 20\u20198 per cent of the entire population.One out of every five persons, by thia table, would be a voter in the United States.On thi basis the Advertiser thinks the popular vote for President in 1884 will hardly be much more than ten millions, and it cannot be more than ten and one-half millions at the most.Our contemporary' thus sums up the result of its examination of the Census Bulletin :\u2014 The census report, if taken together with our political, social and economic history, shows that the welfare of our people does not depend so much upon nativity or color as upon that morality, that intel ligence and that wisdom which are the common property of the human family.Our foreign-born citizens have avoided the extremes of political usefulness, and also the extremes of political madness Our poorest States are practically monopo lUed by our natives, while the foreigners predominate or are very strong in the richest.States.\tNativity, therefore, should not be over-rated, as it is in Rhode Island Nor should the dangers of Liberal election laws be over-rated, as they are in some States and by some politician i.Liberal election laws do not favor the Democratic party, as we see in the West, and very stringent election laws do not always pro duce the best results, as we see in the Eastern Sûtes.The fate of the countxyt in fact, lies far less in laws and statistics than in the genius and the conduct of people.\u201d _____________________ THE PROTESTS.Quite a number of protests have been entered against the return of candidates for the House of Commons, ànd the hat seems to be gaining additions.Up to this time we have the following, the constitu encies printed in italics being those in which counter-petitions have been fyled AGAINST HK70RXKK3.West Middlesex, O.Koas.South Perth, O.Trow.West Huron, 0.Cameron.North York, 0.Muloch.North Wentworth, 0.Bain.Monrk, O.J.A, McCallum Brome, Q.Fisher.Portneuf, Q.St.George.Prince Edward, O.Platt.South Norfolk.0.Jackson.Annapolis, N.S.Ray.East Bruce, O.Wells.Westmoreland, N.B.Sir A.Smith.Albert, N.B.Rogers.Kingston, 0.Gunn.Lunenburg, N.S.Keefer.AGAINST CONSERVATIVES.Monck, 0.L.\tMcCallum.East Hastings, O.White.West Hastings, 0.Robertson.Lennox, 0.SirJ.Macdonsld Kent, 0.Smyth.Russell, O.Dickinson.York, North, 0.Anderson.\t¦ South Simcoe, O.Tyrwhitt.Borthier, Q.Cuthbert.Richelieu, Q.Massue Quebec Centre, Q .Bosse.Gloucester, N B.Burn.» Westmoreland, N.B .Wood.Kings, N.S.Woodworth.\u2022-\u2022\u2022-{SSSfc.Albtrf., N.B.Wallace.\t-, Kin'jrjon, 0:.Sullivan.\t' 55 .Northumberland.O .Guillet.Bothwell, O.Hawkins.Leaving out the counter-petitions, which are mostly vexatious in character, we find the number standing thus Agsinst Reformers.Against Conservatives.In the Bothwell case Hon.its Practical Hints and Suggestions.Capt.Shaw, Chief of the London Fire Brigade, inspected the men of the Fire Brigade and their appliances yesterday, shortly before noon, the men being drawn open their reels for the occasion.Capt.Shaw, who was accompanied by His Worship the Mayor and Counoilloa Johnston, Chairman of the Fire Committer, inspected all the appliances of the Brigade very closely.He then addressed the Brigade as follows :\u2014\t\u2022 Mr.Dorval and Members of the Quebec Fire Department : The Mayor has requested me to address a few words to you on what I have seen during my short visit to Quebec ; of course in anything I say you will understand that I intend to cause no offence to anybody, bnt of course unless I speak plainly my remarks will have no value at all, but, where it is necessary to criticize, I will do so in a friendly manuer.I have been very much struck by the activity and intelligence of your chief aud all the members of the brigade whom I have come across, aud particularly with the intelligence displayed yesterday, during the parade of the fire engines, in discharging water from the top of the ladder, and also on the level ground.I find that here you ore suffering from defects not at all unknown in the old countries, and which are nowhere perhaps more serious than in the very place of which I have charge, the city of Loudon.Yon have a distribution of water here which appears to me, and I say it without any desire to find fault with the people who provide the water, you have a supply altogether defective for the purposes of the fire brigade.It seems to me as a stranger positively amazing how a town can get on at all, even for its domestic purposes, for steam vessels, and many commercial and other requirements with such an arrangement as you hare here.I have been looking into the matter, and I hardly know even yet, whether I have got it correctly ; but I see your town is divided into six districts, and the arrangements can only be made effective in one of these, at any one time.To make it effective in any other, you must turn of the water from the district in which it previously was, and so on through-the city.Now, this is a great defect, and it is one which it is impossible for you to et over satisfactorily, but then on th\u2019c other and it can be provided against to a certain extent by intelligent engineers, such as I presume exist among you, and the constant study and practise of the means of making large supplies of water available in case of fire.I find you have got a certain number of cisterns, with an aggregate quantity of about six hundred thousand gallons of water, but these are distributed throughout tho town and therefore are not available for any one fire.With regard to your means for getting access to the water, you have a number of hydrants throughout the town, but I can hardly ascertain the principle on which they have been fixed.The proper arrangement here, in a town subject to severe frosts, would be to have the cock at such a distance from the ground level that frost could not reach it aud the elbow should always bo kept empty.Now many of you have seen what are called frost-proof firecocks.When shut off the water opens a slot which allows the elbow to drain itself independently, and as you all know an empty pipe will not freeze.But you have to deal with the state of things which actually exists, and you might I think overcome the difficulty I saw yesterday, by carryiug on each engine aud hose-reel a piece of copper pipe of the necessary length with a proper screw, and this could be dropped down from the surface and screwed on fiom above without a man having to enter the hole, which must be difficult at any time, but especially in winter, or whenever snow is on theground.Another plan which I should recommend would be the establishment of large d&ms.In working at fires you all know what a very great difficulty there is with eight or ten men inside a building and all the engines working around at various distances far beyond what a human voice will reach to pass an order from the man at the branch to the man at the engine, in some cases, understand, as much as 1,200 feet.In those cases I think yon will find the large dams very serviceable.5Ve have in London a set of these dams, which we use for large fires, holding a quantity cf six hundred gallons.They are all in pieces and so arranged that one man oau erect them alone in less than one minute, two in half a minute and six men in a very short time.A dam cun be placed at whatever spot is most convenient, beyond the range of any walls that may be likely to fall.Hose is laid from all adjacent hydrants and turned into the dam, with open deliveries and the dam coutiuues filling as long as the water is turned on.The result is tnat the line of delivery under pressure\u2014that is to say between the engine and the branch\u2014is a very short Lai ' in every case, and the message to be .lent to the engine has not more than one hundred or one hundred and fifty feet to i.avel.You can all see what a convenience that is iu case of large fires.Any fire not likely to be subdued within half an hour is invariably combatted in this way.There are several useful results from this ; one is that instead of having a hose of that enormous length 1,200 feet, orhalfor one-third that length with heavy pressure from the steam engine, you have ûo pressureonthe long distance between the hydrants and the dam, and the whole of your pressure comes on the short length between the steamer and the fire.Now I would commend to your use some means of applying water snch aa this.You will find that with the great river near yon, and with the engine you have here, which can easily travel down hill, you could get a very favourable result.I have observed on this visit, and on all previous visits and from all ' correspoudeuce I have hail, an extraordinary want of originality among the members of the fire departments at this side of the Atlantic.It appears to me that a set of builders, sellers, traders and others have got hold of every department everywhere throughout America, and that they make the things aud come in aud sell them without any regard to or knowledge of the requirements of special cases.Now what 1 want to point out to you is that you have among you a certain amount of talent, and I do not at all sco why you should be led away by traders or builders.You know for yourselves better than they do what you want.You ought to judge for yourselves.You cannot gallop this engine up to the Citadel and down again with a pair ot horses.Your hose, too, is of such weight that I do not understand how you can get on in case of enormous fires.I should not attempt it.If you have46fireain the year and34 men to work them I have nearly 2,000 fires and some Ô0Q men.Every steam engine of mine has got on it in a box every article required.We n\tcarry on each engine 400 feet of hose\u2014rather David\tUmit\u2014and every article required on FIELD GAMES I Lawn Tennis, Crapet & Badminton, Last Season\u2019s Stock, at Reduced Prices, at Ô.SEIFERT\u2019S EUROPEAN BAZAAR, June 12.1882 St, John Street, Upper Town, and Soos-le-Fort Street, Lo ver Town, IMPORTERS OF AND DEALERS IN GOODS, FIRE-ARMS, that engine is carried on that engine, and also the whole crew.I have engines which carry all the gear, 400 feet of hose, every pcoeible article toey can require, coal for one hour, and all the men, so that when one of my engines arrives at a fire it is a complete fire brigade, aud as engine after engine comes up it adds to tiie hose.I tbiuk myself that as soon as you over here get out of the way of being led by these traders and deal only with those who will take your orders and supply what you know you want you will begin to get very much stronger than you are now.I can assure you it would be impossible for me to protect the great city I have under my charge with the heavy gear you have here.All over America I find they use none bat large nozzles.An inch-and-a-half nozzle is small for them.I think I may say that I have never ou one single occasion during this current Îear used a jet larger thsu one.iuch.have large engines\u2014one of two hundred and forty horse-power\u2014working on the river, which is 22 miles long on each side, making 44 miles to protect, ana I have four vessels there and yet one engine of two hundred aud forty horse-power very rarely works with a larger jet than one inch.That engine can throw sixty-four jets.For my purpose I find it more convenient to do this than to concentrate them.I feel quite sure you will find small jets much more handy for general use.If your engine is in good working order, you get more about the building with small jets ; you get the same quantity or water, whether you divide it into one hundred streams or take it all in one.It has struck me before I left you that some of you might like to ask questions of me, and I should be very glad if you will do so.It would be a great pleasure Co me to answer you.\\V\u2019hen in New York, we talked a good deal on the subject of jets, and they expressed their surprise that I used oue-iucb jets.You will be perhaps more surprised when I tell you that I use the largest nozzles in Europe, and that all over France, Germany, Hamburgh, there is no such thing known in ordinary use as a one and a half inch jet.They possess them, as we all do because we have bought them, but they never use them.I should recommend you in this city to strike out new lines for yourselves with your own knowledge, or else to go to some English manufacturer and break away for a time from the American.I am sure you will get advantage, but the point is to do it for yourselves, and not go blindly into the hands of an English maker any more than an Ame rioan.The Chief of the Brigade enquired Captain Shaw\u2019s opinion of ladders.Capt.Shaw\u2014I do not think there could possibly be a more interesting enquiry.The difficulties of getting a high proved enormous.There is no such thiug as a good high ladder to be found.I have seen a ladder ninety feet long, which I would have ascended if manned .by my own men, but I should under no circumstances recommend it to anybody else.It was positively unsale.Q.\u2014Do you believe we are better working a fire inside a house\u2014from the ladders or the stairs ?A\u2014Wherever possible to use the stairs, that is the right thing to do.It is the greatest mistake that can be made to use ladders when you can get inside.Here comes in the ques' tion of the subject of\tclothing,\t_______ which I really consider very important.Out JT3 VARIED EF FFCTS SHOULD O LAI M FIREWORKS !

to give account of tho development of the people rather than a chronicle of historical events or biographies of the rulers.It will, in fact, be a record of the growth of civilization in the New World, the English colonists bring presented as essentially one people\u2014local diversities being used to give light and sliadow to the picture of tbe infancy of a great people.The history has been written from a complete study ot the original and semi-original authorities, and seeks to preserve the very aroma of the primitive life of the country.The illustrations will include many reproductions of old drawings and portraits, some of them so scarce as hardly to be known even to special students and collectors ; among them the striking drawings of Indians, etc., made for Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585, and now first, since 1590, engraved from the original, by kind permission of the officers of the British Museum.Dr.Eggleston\u2019s enthusiasm in his work, his scent for the significant and picturesque phases of life (so well shown in his novels), and the fact that he is never dull, augur well for the successful issue of this important enterprise.VALUABU TIMBER LIMITS FOR SALE BY AUCTION.WILL.BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUC-tion, at the Rishkli.Hocsi, in the OlTT or Ottawa, on TUEAi/AY, the .>th day of SEPTEMBER NEXT, ut ELEVEN oclock in the forenoon, (unless previously dispos»d of) the following rluable To*'ber Limits, viz.1.Pine Limits in St.Maui ice Territory, comprising : Rat River No.2 North.»0\tsquare\tmiles Rat River No.2 South.4d\t\" Rat River No.3.50\t\u201c Vermillion No.2 South.42\t\" Vermillion No.3\t\" West}.28\t\u201c VermUlion No.4\t\u201c East} .25\t\u201c Paheloganing West.40\t\"\t\u201c These limits are admitted by all who know them to be the l>eet in the St.Maurice Territory ;
