of these different qualities the poorest one has by far the largest sals, at the same time they eon stantly near of compta nts of p cr sewing auk If ladiee win taxe tue i, the prohibition of their immigration into Canada.In the first place lie did not know in which position England and and China stood with respect to treaty obligations, or how the commercial arrangements of the two countries might interfere with the proposed prohibitory legislation.In the next place, one of the objects we had in building the Canadian Pacific Railway was to enable Canada to participate in the Chinese trade.He hoped that before long a lino of steamships would be running between Hong Kong and British Columbia.This new line will desire to make arrangements to secure its success in the carrying trade, but that success may be greatly impeded if the Chinese Government find that the immigration of their people into Canada is prohibited.It must be remembered that the Chinese Government are not so backward now os they were twenty years ago.They are now in a fair way to civilization, and are impressed with the same ideas respecting commerce as European nations.In the event of legislation on our part inimical to the interest o?their people, they may obstruct >ur trade.And then there are certain considerations with respect to the C.P.R., and the contracts in British Columbia have not yet been finished The Govern-ihent could not have made contracts on such favorable terms as they did but for the knowledge' the contractors had that they could be able to employ Chinese labor.He assured > the House that the Government was fully alive to the importance of the question contained in the resolution, and it was important that British Columbia, md all parts of Canada, should be peopled by men and women of our own race, and that the demand for labor should be fully supplied by the English, the Scotch and tho-Irish, who would with their families come to live and die in the country.The whole subject would, he said, be well considered during the coming summer ; a commission would be issued and such information obtained as would enable them to come down with a well-considered measure at the next session of Parliament.We shall then, at any rate, be in a much better position than we are at present to deal with the question, and he felt satisfied that the result would bo a measure containing restrictive regulations, and the Government, he said, were exceedingly anxious that the question should be practically dealt with.Mr.Shakespeare said that if the establishment of a steamship line were to result in a large addition of the Chinese population the people of British Columbia did not want a steamship line to connect with China at all.Ho had lately seen Mr.Onderdonk, the contractor, who said that he had all the Chinese laborers he required, and lie felt sure that the people of British Columbia had enough of them to last for twenty years.Ho trusted that hou.members would vote for the question on its merits.The question had been submitted to a committee appointed in 1877, who had reported in favor of prohibition.In addition to this we had tlie experience of Australia and California.The people of British Columbia are in earnest about che matter ; petitions concerning it have been sent from Toronto, and he would like to have a vote on the resolution.Mr.Gordon urged that the question should be brought to a vote.Mr.Robertson (Hamilton) withdrew his motion to adjourn the debate.Sir John Macdonald said that if the fion.member (Shakespeare) would allow the amendment of Mr.Allen, \u201crestrict\u201d or \u201cregulate,\u201d to pass and also alter the motion so as to provide for the prevention of the incoming of Chinese into Canada, instead of British Columbia, he would support it.This was agreed to and the motion as amended was carried.Mr.Beatty presented a petition of the London Life Insurance Co., askir^ for leave to present a petition to amend the act relating to the company.In answer to Hon.Blake, Sir John Macdonald said the business for to-morrow would be the Indian Act and Supply.The House adjourned at 10.30.LATEST NOVELTIES -X3sr- FANCY GOODS!

Mr.Editor,\u2014In a former issue of your paper appeared a communication signed \u201cElector,\" advocating the nomination of Mr.Henehey as a candidate for aldermanic honors for St.Louis Ward at the approaching municipal elections.Were he to consent to become so.I am sure there would be no doubt of hit return, as ali remember the fearless and independent character of his actions when alderman for that ward some years ago.The proprietor electors in it having an English-speaking majority of over 30 should have an English-speaking representative, and Mr.Henchey being himself a proprietor in that ward would be the fit and proper person to represent it.I therefore hope that on requisition of the electors he will not refuse to come forward as a candidate to protect their interests.Yours, &c., Anothkr Elector.Quebec, 2nd April, 1884.HoiirniiigMIery.____ # Full Sets Brooches, Earrings, Necklets, etc., -JN- Crape Stone, Roman Pearls, Real Onyx, Whitby Jet, and Black Garnet, A COMPLETE ASSORTMENT AT G.SEIFERT\u2019S, EUROPEAN BAZAAR.April 2, IK*4_______ REMOVAL.JAMES G.PATERSON HAS REMOVED HIS STORE TO No.47 BuadeStreet, (Premises Irteiy occupied by Messrs.Burton ft Clement, Adjoining Messrs.BüHAN BROTHERS, March 15, 1884.St.John Street, Upper Town, and Notre Dame Street, Lower Town, OFFER AT LOW PRICES ENGIKS SIMPS 1 EfiGIM PACM53, OF EVERY DESCRIPTION.INSPIRATORS BEST BOILER FEEDER KNOWN.-ALSO- M PAINTS LINSEED OIL & TURPENTINE.ALL RELIABLE QUALITY, AT BOTTOM PRICES W.WATS0N AS THE of LARGEST ASSORTMENT H MALT LIQUORS in the Province, and invites the attention of the Trade to the various qualities < f -OWING TO THE- l>u Sideboard, Dining Table, Oil Cloth, Desk, Canopy, Dinner Sett, China Tea Sett, Silver Plated Wan).Self-Feeder Coal Stove, Cooking Stoves, Bediteads, Feather Beds, Hair and Spring Mattrasscs, ftc.By order, J.E.BOILY, Notary.April 2.1884.__________F_ GRAND FANCY FAIR.A MEETING OF ALL THOSE LADIES and Gentlemen who are willing to assist in getting up the Grand Fancy Fair at the Rink will be held on THURSDAY AFTER.NOON, at 1 o\u2019clock.April 2, 18S4\tB racEisnix Fire Assurance Company \u2014OF\u2014 LONDON, England.OTTOM4N SILK DOLMANS, BROCHE SATIN SOLEIL \u201c ULSTEUS.CHENILLE CAPES, BLACK AND COLORED JACKETS, BOY S SUITS.The greatest Novelties for the Spring in the nu>st fashionable shades are the RAYE CLOTH,\tGRANITE £ND OTTOMAN CLOTH, INVISIBLE CHECKS,\tMIGNON STRIPis., COMBINATION OF PLAIN AND STRIPE.Also,\u2014BLACK in RAYE, GRANITE, OTTOMAN AND INVISIBLE CHECK.A Splendid Line NEWEST SHADES all Wool for -15 cents a yard.Best Value ever offered in BLACK and COLORED SATINS.The celebrated BLACK PONSON SILK.f3r Ladies are respectfully invited to inspect onr NEW GOODS.P.S.\u2014Wc will open our Dolmans, Ulsters, Capes and Trimmed Bonnets, on WEDNESDAY, the 26th.FABRIQUE STREET.March 12, 1884.jan23-Lm TAKE RISKS AT REDUCED RATES.WESTON HUNT & SON, STJIG-^GrlEINJTfi».April 1, 1884.Tailoring!

afternoon, the Speaker called the attention of members to the fact that petitions asking for annual grants could not be received by the House.Mr.Arthur Boyer, M.P.P.for Jacques Cartier, was introduced by Hon.Messrs.Mercier and Joly, and took hia seat immediately behind the member for Montreal West.Hon.Joseph Robertson rose to a persouil explanation.He said f\u2014 Mr.Speaker,\u2014Yesterday, to my surprise, the member for Montreal Centre informed the House that I, as President of the Quebec Central Railway Company, had used my position as Treasurer to obtain for said railway $90,108 more from the Government than the railway was entitled to ; that in fact I had used my official position to obtain more money than the Company I am President of had a right to, fof my own personal advantage.This statement I most positively denied and dared the hon.gentleman to make a charge against me in the usual form, which I was prepared to meet.The Queb«c Central as now constituted comprises the original Quebec Central and the Levis k Kennebec.I now present a statement of the Quebec Central as originally chartered.-The subsidy to the Quebec Central was £4 000 a mile.$390,856 04

amonnts in the Treasury Department, so that the Quebec Central proper has not been paid one dollar more than it was entitled to.,\t* As to the Levis k Kennebec Railway, this road is amalgamated with the Quebec Central and now let us ask what has been paid that road up to July 1st, 1883.The subsidy was $4,000 a mile for 90 miles.$360,000 00 Share of Baie des Chaleurs was.63,947 35 Total

.July, $217,500 00 These amounts were paid before the amalgamation of the two roads to the old Levis k Kennebec Railway Company, and nothing further was paid on account of the subsidy of the road up to 1st July, 1883, so that the fall amount paid to the Quebec Central Is.\t.1 $413,150 i9 And to Levis k Kennebec before amalgamation .217,500 00 Up to July, 1883, amounts to.$691,250 79 On the 5th December, 1883, a further sum of $30,960.00 was paid as subeidy earned on 5.16 miles constructed on that part ot the Quebec Central which was formerly the Levis and Kennebec, but the latter amount I did not include in the foregoing statement, because the report cited by the nember for Montreal Centre did not contain that amount.There was no other aflfcnnt paid for in 1882-83 on account of subsidy, bat there was $112,429.57 paid in repayment of the deposit made by the Quebec Central Railway Com- his way of it a different programme would have beeu submitted for the oonsideratiou of the House.Id the division he represented, where they never got a cent for railway or any other public purpose, the taxation even in the municipality in which he resided including the school-tax h about one cent ou the valuation, or twice as much as in the rich and fertile wheat growing settlements of Ontario.When the present Treasurer is not in the Cabinet directing the finances he never has a very hopeful future for the Province, but so soon os he is entrusted with the care of the Treasury Department, all at once he becomes more hopeful.Ways and Means can be provided so as to equalize income and expenditure.Nevertheless things are only going from bad to worse, and now we can no longer meet our obligations but must apply to the Federal Cabinet for relief for means to carry on our Government.Hon.gentlemen no doubt consider they did a meritorious act and showed a great deal of tact and diplomacy when in Sir John\u2019s extremity they forced him to yield to their demand in promising to subsidize the Q.M.O.k O.Railway.He wondered if they promised this statemeatwith the tact that they borrowed the idea, that they were not even entitled to credit for this.It must have been a humiliating spectacle to see these hou.gentlemen, representatives of an intelligent Province, demanding the veteran statesman, in imploring language, not so much to save the Province as to save the party, to come to their rescue and grant them so many dollars and cents, still more hnmiliat-ing to find these gentlemen when their request was not likely to be acceded to appear with lash and hatchet in their hand, ready to decapitate their venerable chief if the demand was not acceded to.Before making such a demand, common honesty demanded that they could show a clear record, that they left no stone unturned, to place the blame, il biame there exists, on the proper shoulders, aud it is because they have not done this and persist in refusing to do this that the present motion is made, so that the country may see there Superior Court.Disbsict of Quebec.I\tNo.674, PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that under and by virtue of a judgment of the Superior Conrt.sitting at the City of Quebec,

the said street, in rear on thn south bv the Cape, on one side towards the east by Wm.Convey and J.O\u2019Dou noli, and on the other side on the west by one Grenier\u2014with circumstances and

on one side towai da the wes by Augustin Chman or roinosentatives ; vks in the present House, deponent sayeth Lot.Matters are getting greatly mixed, the ) resent session having proved probably the most uns itisfactory to the Government of » iy since 1S7S.T.ie attitude of tho French ling for some time and has gone South.\u2018J he last news fiomhim (at Washington) says t ;at he is better, and the warmth of the weather in that quarter will, no doubt, have a g *od effect upon him.He is personally po-p ilar on both sides of the House, and very.n.uch so with Ottawa citizens, who have great sympathy for him in the impaired state of his h aith.As for the men who are likely to go ii.to the Cabinet, Mr.Thomas White has been fi eely spoken of recently as a coming Minister, and while he would probably mpke an ii\ttelligent bead of a department, tnere are t.-.oee who believe he would be a second Mac-k nzie Bo well, who is only a head clerk un-d r Sir John.Many think Bowell is ready tri accept a good collectorship somewhere and it :ire from the cabinet, but th* chances are ti at as long as Sir John remains in office HE WILL KKEF BOWELL just where he is.Tom White would probably Erove \u201canother of the same,\u201d and he would .log no more influence to the Government tl an Bowell has done.He has no \u201cfollowers\u201d in the House.A nice fellow himself, he does me attach others to him.He counts oue vote, aLd no more, on a division.A new difficulty will arise in the case.He lives in Montreal \u2014Chat is, in Quebec Province.His business is there, and he is surrounded by Quebec influences.His paper is ran in Quebec inter-es .3.Is it likfly, some say, that Sir John w.ll choose him to represent Ontario in the Government, just because ne happens to sit Io~ an Ontario constituency î I tnink it is lit.cly enough.He is a man who suits Sir Jean.He can be moulded into any shape Sir John wishes him to take\u2014and that goes a lo ;g way with premiers.It is thought by sc ue that should.MB.POPE\u2019S HEALTH ot ige him to retire Mr.Ives will be the com-in,; man frem tho Eastern Townships.Who wi.l take Chaplean\u2019s place in the French re-pnsentation it is difficult to see, but if Me-PLcrson leaves the Government there will pn bably be a enance for Senator Trudel.It ii -nought Ouimet is very anxious to get in a Government, either under Sir John or Blake ; tfu.t be is not very particular as to the leader.He is personally popular and rather able ; but he oeght to remember,, the fate of Mousseau, who torced himself into Sir John\u2019s cabinet ag mat Sir John's wishes.Both Trudel and Ouimet cannot be in the cabinet at once, as this would be giving the Montreal district ov-.r-r-presentation.Tnere is talk in a quiet way of Caron going out and taking the Quebec Governorship, which he would enjoy ; but he is more likely to be out WITHOUT THE GOVERNORSHIP.There is a considerable amount of talent among the Frenchmen supporting the Gov-en.ment, wbicn is not recognized by the Gov-en men.Aj for New Brunswick, should TU.ey and Costigan go out who is to come in ?W ill it be Mitchell ?He would probably be asked ; but would he go in ?I think not.Would Wood and Foster be invited, or Wood amt Landry, or Foster and Landry ?What Car.dry wants is a superior Judgeship, and he might insist upon being taken into the Cabinet to make sure of the judgeship

control over the board, though this would be to a great extent neutralized by Black immediately castling, after which there would be plenty of play on both sides.We shall be much surprised if it be not now admitted that 10 Q to Q 3 has claims that are worthy of consideration.\u2014hand and Water.3.30.Rye flour weak and unchanged.Wheat dull ; receipts, 71,000 bus ; sale*, 58,000 bus No.2 red sellers April at l,00j to 1.0115 528,000 bus sellers May at l,03p ; 388,000 bus sellers June' at 1,0Q to l,0.r»i ; sellers July 1.01 bid and 1.04& asked Rye weak and unchanged.Corn dull ; receipts, 48,000 bus ; sales, 424,000 bus at 53c to 61c sellers sjiot and 60c to Me for future.Barley quiet and unchnmred.Oats dull ; receipts, 87,000 bus ; sales, 4i>1000 bus al 37o to 39c ; do mixed at 40c to 444c ; do white No.2 sellers May at 374c.Pork heavy and unchanged.Lard unsettled at 0.25.Bultorat 10c ta 14c, Ohioaqo, 111., April 2.\u2014Flour dull and unchanged.Wheat unsettled ; sellers April at 824c to HSJc1; sellers May at 87Jc to 883c ; sellers June at 8Sj}c to 89jc ; No.2 Chicago spring at 82Jc to 854c ; No.2 red at 06c to 08c.Cora unsettled ; sellers cash at 50c to 52j'c ; sellers April at 50c ta Sljc : sellers May at 54jfc to 66Jc\u2019: sellers June at 55j(c to ôOJc.Oats easier ; sellers cash at 2$^c to 334® 1 seller* April at 28Jc to 29c ; sellers May at 32J to 33£ ; sellers Juuo at 33c to 33ji.Uyo dull at 57c to 58c.Pork irregular ; sellers cash al 17,30 to 17,35 ; sellers April at 17,40 ; sellers May at 17.45 to 17,674 ; sellers June at 17.55 to 17.774- Lard lower ; sellers cash at 8,90 to 8,95 ; sellers May at 0,09 to 9,094 ; selllrs June at 9,074 to 9,35.Bulk Moats quiet ; shoulders at 7,30 : short nbs at 9,00 ; short clear at 9 20.Whiskey steady and unchanged.Receipts\u2014 80,000 brls flour ; 61,000 bus wheat; 129,000 bus corn ; 137,000 bus \"at* : 6,000 bus rye ; 40,000 bus barley.Shipments\u201423,000- brls flour ; 166,000 bus wh»»**- ; 107,000 bus corn ; 190/00 bus oats ; 14,000 bus rye ; 31,000 bos barl y.CORRECTION.Id last week s column, in ailuding to the \u201cNuova Rivista degli Scacchi,\u201d we were made to say \u201c Mrs.\u201d C.Bexley Vansittart in lien of \u201cMr.\u201d; also.Solution to Problem No.199 should read 1 Q Q R sq.Greeks vs.trojans.These warriors met again on Saturday evening last, the Greeks being most eager for the fray in order to regain the ground they had lost in the previous conflict, and how stubbornly thet fought can be gleaned from the following :\u2014 DETAILS OF THE BATTLE.Greeks.\tTrojans.\tWon by E Pope\tD R MacLeod\tPope E T Fletcher R Blakiston BUkiston J G Lefrauoois E Jones\tLcfrancois M J Murphy\tJ O\u2019Farrell\tMurphy FCWurt\u201cle\tJos Hewitt\tHswitt A H McCailum A Robertson Robertson R McLimont Dr levers\tMcLimont R C Scott\tN MacLeod\tMacLeod J McNaughton E H Duval McNaughton G Gagnon W D Campbell Campbell.Back side winning five games.A truce was agreed to until this evening (Thursday) waenatSp.m.sharp, tne war will be renewed.As there was nos a sufficient m*.nn'>er of men and boards to accommodate all those who were present on Saturday last, it would be well that some of the players would bring their own sets.Chess Intelligence.A STRONG TEAM, it is impossible in the present but 1 know ' most.A* for Nova Scotia, it w diffi- cul .i i understand who are to be the successor ot Tupper and McLclan.Woodworth is pro ably the oldest Conservative from that pro ¦ mcealter Tupper.but this is his first term, and ibeu likeMcD-joa!

3 B to B 4, P to Q 4 ; 4 B tks P, Q to R 5 ch ; 5 K to B sq, P to K Kt 4 ; b Kt to Q B 3, B to Kt 2 ; 7 P to Q 4, KttoK2; SKttoBS, QtoR4; 9PtoKR4, PtoK R 3.Here we have the position, and bat two continutions are recognized for White, viz., 10 P to K 5, and 10 Kt to Kt sq, neither of which is, in onr opinion, any better than the move now proposed by us, namely, 10 Q to Q 3.(We give a diagram of the position previous to White\u2019s tenth move.\u2014Ed.M.C.) Position after Black\u2019s 9th move.Black.m '////SA m WIIITK.We will glance at two or three variatioa beginning each time with White\u2019s tenth movu so as to prevent any confusion : 10 Q to Q 3y P to Kt 5 ; 11 Kt to K sq, Kt to Kt 3, 12 Q: to Kt 5 cb, with a fine game, for Black must now move bis King, and wherever it move* there arc inconveniences for him accordingly.Black might have played 11 P to Q B 3, whereupon 12 B to Kt 3, Kt to Kt 3 ; 13 Kt to K 2, with an excellent game.In this last sub-variation Black (in lieu of Kt to Kt 3) could have played 12 P to Q K( 3, but then 13 Kt to K 2, B to R 3 ; 14 P to B 4, and White has a very obvious superiority.We may remark that after 10 Q to Q 3, P to Kt 5.White could at once proceed with 11 Q to Kt 5 ch, K moves, 12 Kt to K sq, with what seems to us to be at least an even game.There is also 10 Q to Q 3.P to Kt 5, 11 Kt to K sq, Kt to Kt 3 ; 12 Kt to K2, and White for choice.The mere fact that 10 Q to Q 3 ^ut .tion of the representation to be aoççrdyd cannot bo advantageously answered by p to , LEATHER MARKET.Spanish Sole, No.1, per ib.90\t26 a Do No.2.0\t24\ta Slaughter Sole, No.1.0\t30\ta Harness Leather.0\t80\ta Waxsd Upper.0\t40\ta Buff and Pebbled Cow, per fobt 0\t18 a Patent Cow.Enamelled Cow.Calfskins, heavy, per lb.Do light.Sheepskins Russets, per lb.French Calfskins, per lb.HIDES AND SKINS.Green and inspected perlOOlbe, No.1.9 Do do do No 2 Cured and inspected, per 100 lbs Sheepskins, each.Calfskins, green, per lb.Wool, per lb,.0 15 a 0 15 a 0 60 a 0 45 a 0 23 a 0 24 a 0 35 a* 1 10 a 8\t00 a 7 00 a 9\t00 a 0 75 a 0 124« 0 25 a 0 281 0 26 0 33: 0 85 0 45 0 15f 0 16 0 16 0 65 0 50» 0 25 0 26 0 403 1 40J 8 00 7 00 9 50 0 90 0 15 0 SO Prices in xavcrpool.The following aie the Liverpool quotations for each day of tbi past week, the prices of wheat and floor being top figures î\u2014 T8 \u2022ez'.qaw *8Z iPW 'IZ qore ¦92 q®H \u2022as qore (Or-iieaO'V-OtO'Dae'SOOeoo Q r* a\tp q torsmao'voiocoaocoeooœo r: rHt^aot-aoiOiaiQOeo^coagO (Si-liAOCWOlCIOCO'OCQOOO O I-i ^
