routine in the Legislative Council, Hon.Dr.Ross moved the adjournment of the House out of respect for thermemory of the late Hon.Mr.Panet.It was the second time this session that it had been his painful duty to give expression to words of mourniug and of regret on the occasion of the death of a colleague who had sat with them in that House since Confederation.The tomb has scarcely closed upon the late Hon.Messrs.Proulx and Dostaler when we learn of the death of one who was the doyen of this Council, not only by reason of his age, but also by the length of his political career,\u2014Hon.Louis Panet.In 'alluding to the deceased\u2019s vote against the sale of the Provincial Railway, the Premier said :\u2014You have still in your memory the courage displayed by our regretted colleague when he came for toe last time to take\tpart in oar deliberations, and the teaching\tmarks of respect which surrounded him on that occasion.The hon.gentleman alluded to the political career of deceased, which dated from 1852, and had played an important part in all which daring the past quarter of a century had politically and commercially transformed our country.Hon.Mr.Archambault seconded the motion of adjournment and spoke of the late Hon.Mr.Panet as one of the most useful members of the Council.He was the descendant of an old family who played an important part in society and in the politics of the country.He spoke of the spirit and amiability of the deceased, and of the esteem with which he was regarded by his colleagues.Hon.Mr.Starnes followed in support of the motion of adjournment.He referred to the fact that the father of the deceased had occupied the exalted position of President of the Council.Mr.Panet always enjoyed the profound esteem and unchangeable respect of his colleagues in the Council,\u2014-aud he hoped that the lamented gentleman\u2019s successor (would merit a continuance of their sympathies and their respect.The Council then adjourned.LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.- YESTERDAY*!?PROCEEDISOS, The Speaker took the chair at 3.10 p.m.After routine,\u2014the Order of the Day was called to form into Committee of the \\\\ hole upon the Bill to amend the Act incorporating the Union Jacques Cartier Railway Company.Hon.Mr.Taillon asked the House to allow him to decline the charge of the Bill, since the promoters of the measure were not disposed to accept ao amendment which he deemed to be in the interest of his constituency.Mr.Gagnon said the Bill would remain the property of the House.Hon.Mr.Garneau volunteered to take charge of the bill and moved the House into Committee of the Whole on the same.The House went into Committee, Mr.Picard in the chair.Hon.Mr.Mercier withdrew his amendment months\u2019 hoist.Jacques Cartier Union Railway bill, when Hou.Mr.Garueau moved in amendment to the amendment as follows :\u2014\u201cNothing in this act contained shall be construed as authorizing this company to interfere with the obligations imposed upon the North Shore Railway Company and provided for in the acts of this legislature 44-45 \\ ict., cap.2, and 45 Viet., cap.19-20.The above was adopted by 27 to 21.It being pretended that the adoption of Mr.Garneau\u2019s sub-amendment did not dispose of Mr.Taillon\u2019s sub-amendment, the House again divided on the latter rejecting it by 27 to 21.\t, , w Hon.Mr.Beaubien then moved to add Mr.Garneau\u2019s sub-amendment the words \u201cand especially to station at Quebec Gate Barracks.\u201d This amendment was also lost by 2li to 21.The committee then rose and reported the bill with an amendment.The House next went into committee to consider the remaining clauses of the Quebec bill, Mr.Shehyn in the chair.Hon.Mr.Garneau argued that the provisions of the present Bill were calculated to produce a much larger revenue than it was pretended was required by the Corporation.He contended that the existing law should be maintained, as if enforced, it would enable the Corporation to raise the extra amount required, while the proposed law would impose heavy burdens upon the merchants car-raying large stocks aud others who were already heavily taxed.Mr.Brousseau proposed that the Corporation increase the rate of taxation on the annual value of real estate from 14£ to about 20 per cent, which would give oue third more revenue from this source or some $2001000 instead of $150,000.This would be muoh less burdensome than a change in the system of taxing real estate which would impose upon it $240,000 at I J per cent.Hon.Mr, Joly etrongly supported the Bill before the House, contending, that it would bear less severely upon the poor than the present law, Mr.I^emieux spoke of the pecessity of adopting a consolidation of the acts amending the charter of the Corporation of the city of Quebec, which were quite voluminous, having been augmented every year since 1844.Mr.Shehyn having left tne chair and been replaced by Mr.Decbenes, spoke at length in opposition to the bill, claiming that merchants already paid a great deal more on their stocks iu Quebec than din Montreal merchants, and that if these taxes were to be increased, they would be quite unable to compete with the merchants of Montreal.After a very lengthy discussion, the Committee rose aud reported progress.The following bills were passed through committee, read a third time aud passed :\u2014 The remission of fees on bills respecting St.John the Evangelist Church, St.Judes Church and the Cathedral of St.Hyacinthe, was adopted as well as Dr.Duhamel's motion for the appointment of a special committee to assist Mr.Speaker to revise the standing orders for the Government of the House.The House then adjourned at 12 30.Still\"Pi NO.OCEAN

not be fair to the promoters of the bill to impose upon them the amendment of Mr.Mercier.Hon.Mr.Garneau said there was no desire to deprive Montreal of its rights.There was evidently a misunderstanding somewhere for nobody wanted Quebec trains to run to Bona-venture station.It was|always understood that they shoold go to the Quebec Gate Barracks as fixed by Uw.Mr.Shehyn argued that the law had fixed the terminus of the road \"at St.Martin.Hon.Mr.Mercier said the terminus of the road had been fixed in 1881 at the Quebec Gate Barracks by the law to ratify the arrangements between Mr.Ch$pleau aud the city of Montreal.By a subsequent law the terminus for the Western section of the road was fixed at the Barracks, and the Government reserved the right for the Eastern section to run over the St.Martin\u2019s Manch of the line into Quebec Gate Barracks Station on payment of $5,000 a year.By the conditions of the sale of the Eastern section to the Syndicate the latter is obliged to carry freight and passengers to the Quebec Gate Barracks, so that there is no donbt that this is the terminus of both roads.Sines then the G.T.R.has bought the North Shore road aud desires to connect it with its road.He had no Objection to this, provided they fulfilled the conditions imposed by conditions of sale respecting Quebec Gate Barracks.Mr.Beaubien supported the stand taken by Mr.Mercier, and said it was only plain justice to Montreal East, and no attempt to deprive Quebec of any advantages to be de-___________________ rived from through traffic over this road.He .«il t ih

St.Peter Street.«T Address P.0.Box 575.May 19, 1884.The amendment anbmitted by the leader Fm | of the Opposition is as follows And wtiereas by the repeated legislation To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Sib,\u2014In the Chronicle of the 10th in stant, \u201c Citizen \u201d makes a new attempt to contradict my statements concerning my expenses, and to that effect, publishes a long list of the moneys spent by me.I therefore feel it to be my duty to reply, apologising iu the meantime,to your readers and to you, Mr.Editor, for the possible want of interest afforded by this discussion.Whether it be the result of ignorance or false calculation as to facta, \u201cCitizen\u201d charges me with the expanses incurred from 1870 to June, 1871, well knowing, however, that I only entered Spencer Wood in December, 1870.I would therefore be accountable for only five months, invariably spending, as I did, the winter months in my house in the city, a fact of which \u201cCitizen\u201d even complains, accusing me of being tlie cause of the deterioration of Speucer Wood through my not occupying it the whole year.What great sense of economy you are possessed of, \u201cCitizen ! \u201d You are aware that Speucer Wood wascoutiauallyheated throughout the winter by the caretaker, who had charge of it.What better could I have done if I had occupied it ?There remain the expenses from the 15th February, 1871, to June, 1872, aud from tnat date to the Iqth of February, 1873, when my term of office as Lieuteuant-Governor expired, all of which expenses \u201cCitizeu\u201d also finds fault with.If some of these expenses were not covered by me th«y must have been settled for by the Department of Public Works\u2014let them be published m detail.I shall help \u201cCitizen\u201d in finding them ont.Such is tne offer I desire to make.This is what I desire to see done : Let \u2018Citizen\u201d publish the amount of my expenses during the time I occupied Specc&i Wood.The expense necessary to the exercias of the duties of the Lieutenant-Governor, are the same for all the Governors.Citizen\u201d also leverts to the expenses in-enrred by the militia\u2014a new discovery made since his first correspondence.Is he not aware that the militia is under the control of the Federal Government, which orders, authorizes and indicates to whom to apply for anything concerning it.The military man obeys, it is all he has^to do.The same thing migtit be said of the men who mounted the guard at the Government House, in this city, where the Executive Council held its meetings, etc., etc., and where I had my office.Tne Local Government paid for the services rendered, and it was the same thing for the cavalry which furnished the escort witli the guard of honor at the opening aud prorogation of Parliament.As the Federal Government did not want to undertake the payment of the expenses incurred by the presence of the militia, the guard was dispensed with, and the military company diminishedif not dipensed with.The custom of calling for the presence of the military on certain official occasions was lbs.27,600 12,000 82,000 lbs.36,000 Fares.41 Georges.2 Western Bank.;

Montreal made considerable sacrifices to secure the construction of the said railway which now belongs in part to the Canadian Pacific Railway Com-pany.\t.\t.\u201c Whereas to attain this end, the city ot Montreal gave the Government the Quebec Gate Barracks property.\u201c Whereas it is but just that these conditions should be respected, it is enacted as follows \u201cAll the freight and passengers of the North Shore Railway destined for Montreal or sent from Montreal to any point on the said road shall be carried to and delivered at the station or stations which the North Shore Railway has a right to use and especially to and at the station at the Barracks property aforesaid, and the said Jacques Cartier Union Railway Company is prohibited from allowing any part of its road to be used in such a manner as to render, directly or indirectly, this provision illusory, and any violation of this provision shall ipso facto render th is act and the said act 43-44 Viet., chap.50 null and put an end to the existence of the said Jacques Cartier Union Railway Coin pany \u201d\t\u201e Hon.Mr.Taillon said the Company were not dependent upon this House.If they desired what this House refused to accord it, they couiÂapply at Ottawa for the powers denied «¦pi nore.If the purchasers of the railway, however, violated ang of the conditions of the sale they would find it so much the worse for them.He was desirous of doing all that was possible to meet the wishes of the people of Montreal as expressed through its representatives in the City Council, and would therefore move as an additional section of the Act before the House that nothing in this Act should be construed as affecting the conditions of the sale of the Eastern Section of the Q., M.O.and O.RR.r* c* i Mr.Boyer expressed himself as opposed to tf) ACCOMMODATE THE L A R G B | the ftmendrnent 0f Mr Mercier, on account of the injury it would impose upon the municipalities to the west of Montreal.Mr.Gagnon favored the amendment of the Opposition leader because ha was in order bound to support an arrangement made by the Province.Mr.Shehyn was not thoroughly satisfied that tbe terminus of the road had ever been fixed by Uw at the Quebec Gate Barracks The discussion was continued by Messrs.Taillon, Mercier, Beaubien and Shehyn.Hon.Mr.Flynn was opposed to both the amendments proposed to the Bill, and warned the House against any action that might give the syndicate the semblance of a claim against the Province for imaginary inter ference of its acquired rights.Hon.Mr.Robertson knew nothing of the question at issue but reiterated the warning of the Commissioner of Crown Lands respecting any new legislation on the subject.Mr.Stephens having claimed that on account of the sacrifices made by the city of Montreal to secure the road, the Government owed it more than the syndicate.Mr.Shehyn reminded the House that Montreal was not alone in making these sacrifices.Quebec had made equal sacrifices, while iu proportion to its limited means compared with those of Montreal, they really were much heavier burthens.Mr.Stephens asked if Quebec had not made $\u2019200,000 by the transaction.Mr.Shehyn ridiculed such idea and showed that Quebec had paid $400,0°0 to $600,000 to 1 AA T0NS no- i suMMBit-1 lee Pig Iron In lots I thought this was fully equal to what Mon 1 treal had

Why every hour is worth Its weight in solid gold.Each step is regaled with the joy Of a happiness untold.Why speak of dancing as a sin Because of Herod\u2019s daughter ?In fabled days the sirens sang Deep down below tj^water And drew men to an ocean grave By the beauty of their lays.Yet no one tells us uot to sing Some Heavenly hymns of praise.For God above has made us all To share all pleasures sweet.Whether it be by tuneful words Or the movements of the feet.ABYSSINIA.A JOURNEY TO THE COURT OF KING JOHN.(From the London News, May 7th.) Ailet, April 12\u2014It was near half-paat tnree 11 the afternoon of Monday, April 7tb, when the dagsbip and forts of Maseowah notified the landing of Sir William Hewett, V.U., K.C.B.Mason Bey, the governor, met the Admiral at the Palace stairs, and aa Egyptian guard of honour trumpeted and presented arms, and fell in in Indian file on either side, and escorted him to the mainland causeway, when fifty Basbi-Bazouks in costume extraordinary for their uniformity and gay colouring, ran on in front.The notables of the town on various sized mules and donkeys, and an occasional camel, with many men running on foot, followed np the rear.The whole cortege as they crossed the narrow causeway presented a semi-barbaric cavalcade truely picturesque.Arriving at the village of M\u2019Kolu the men came out to greet us, and their women, covering their faces with their drapery, or hiding within their huts, made the peculiar cry called the Zagreet, which is their mode of expressing joy.At the fort of M\u2019Kolu.a defence to protect the water-works that supply Massowah, and garrisoned by six hundred men, the gunners stood to their guns, the infantry presented, and the trumpeters tDotted the same martial call as at Massowah.A few hundred yards further the last outpost of the Egyptians was passed, and we were now well over the plains of Massowah, and beginning to gradually ascend over rough undulating ground towards the front Abyssinian chain of mountains.The sun had now passed away, leaving a yellow flare in the sky that threw into full relief the ills in our front, eventually giving way to the strong light of an African moon casting our shadows on the sand, and here and there glinting on the dark face of some wild Arab warrior peering at us in cariosity from the bushes on either side of the road.Our party was soon compelled to close in, for the route was beginning to narrow into the bet of a dried up water course.It was up hill and down dale, over rocky ground, and sandy stretches of a river bed.For-an hour or so we journeyed on, always at a walking pace, so as not to get ahead of our baggage, here and there superintending the repacking of a mule that had got clear of his load, or hunting another that had got clear of his driver.A few miles farther on the road turns abruptly to the right, and the refreshing sight of the cooking fires and the white tents of our encampment was very comforting.The tents had been pitched on the sandy bottom of a mountain stream now entiftely dried up, with the exception of a few holes from which we got some very cool and sweet water.The sandy bed skirted a rocky eminence whereon, last October, 50 Bashi-Bazoukswere surrounded and ent to pieces by the terrible Abyssinian chief, Ras Aloola.A robbery had been committed on an Egyptian caravan, and a mollah killed.The then Governor of Massowah resolved to send troops to protect this spot.Aloola warned him not to do so ; and that it they arrived he would attack them.In spite of this warning, Bashi-Bazouks were sent, They took up their position on the heights before mentioned, were eventually surrounded and destroyed.Ras Aloola, with his usual pleasantry, sent word to Massowah, thanking the authorities for sending him so many excellent Remingtons.A surprise awaited us near our tent.A famous gay old slave-dealer, whA had -recently given up his dealing in live stock and now sold dead in the shape of butcher's meat to the various steamers coming into Maaso-wah port, had arrived before us with his servants, and had prepared a meal for the Governor.It was a kindness much appreciated, for we were weary and hungry, and it was quite unexpected.I bad seen our friend during the day doubled up on a small mule in his usual gay attire\u2014a light pink gabardine, a yellow silk-worked sash, and white turban.Though Abdullah Bey had fasted more than sixty-five kamadans, we all looked upon him as the Masher of Massowah, for his harem was large and well filled.He would smash a brandy peg with any one of us.and on the present occasion quaffed his laager beer like a stolid old Dutcnrnan.for our servants had now arrived, and we were all able to produce that luxury.Shaati is the name of our camping ground, and in spite of being four hundred feet above Masaowan, there was no perceptible difference in the temperature, and rt was steady at something like 90 Fah.throughout the night.The next morning early we started for Ailet, and soon began to experience rough mountain travelling, tor on immediately leaving the camp the aspect ot the country changes, and we began to ascend still keeping the old water course, through chains of low hills, the pass narrowing so much that it was even difficult to make way in Indian file, theground always lumpy with loose granite rocks.Unlike Afghanistan, there is no sterility ; everywhere there are mimosa trees or wild olives.Though giving but little shade, yet the relief of the green frowi the glare of white sand was somewhat refreshing.Our.course was south-east to south-west, and the sun in almost tropical fierceness shot his rays down on our shoulders till the heat became nearly unendurable.A slight breeze would cool us as we gained some ridge, and the sight of floating vapor still clinging to the flint blue peaks of the distant mountains reminded us that we were slowly but surely approaching a country of cool shades and running waters.The scorching sun and burning rocks and shadeless mimosa held their own till we arrived at the wells of Ailet, and the wells of Ailet are boiling springs rising in a george among the first veritable ridges of the Abyssinian Mountains.Bubbling in several little pools, the water finds its way down a gully over rough boulders of granite till it is lost in the burning sand.Yet not quite lost, for it is found again, filtered of its iron and sulphur properties, by digging holes in the dried-up course, and* ladled out into dirty goat-skins by the natives.\u2022 Abyssinians come great distances to enjoy a bath in the hot pools, for they are supposed to possess great medicinal properties.Early of a morning crowds of natives can be seen sprawling about in the sHallow water\u2014both sexes in the same innocent state of body as Adam and Eve before the fall.Whether attracted like the natives by its excellent properties for cutaneous disease, or whether only to quench their thirst, big game of all kinds come to the pools at sunset.The boar, the antelope, and the roaring lion and bis mate all enjoy the wells of Ailet.Two days ago an unwary camel, remaining too long in the delights of the bath, was attacked by a lion, and eventually got away, but not before the king of beasts had taken a good meal out of^im.The natives say that only old toothless lions attempt to attack human beings, and as I returned in the shade of the evening from that spot I inwardly hoped that all the lions in the neighbourhood might be very young ones.Moose-deer, hare, partridge, quail, guinea fowl, and bastard abound in plenty, and make the woods and forest sonorous with their cries.I cannot imagine a happier place for a sportsman than round about Ailet.We arrived about 9.30 at our campiug ground, just outside the village, a level stretch of sand, with here and there bushes of mimosa and a few wild olive trees.We found Lieut.Kennedy, of the Black Watch, and Lieut.Paris, of the Kuryalus, who had left Massowah two days in advance of us with the presents for the Kmg, including the two 7-pounders and ammunition.Ailet is the last village on Egyptian territory, if it may be so called, as for many years past it has been debatable ground between Egypt and Abyssinia, and at present seems tube No Man s Land regarding these two countries.The Admiral resolved to rest here a day to pull together the camp equipage and arrange matters for a fair start for the mountains.The dheikh of the village came to pay his respects, and the villagers brought in milk and honey.Towards the afternoon our camp arrangements assumed some shape and order, and in the evening we all dined together out in the moonlight a la Russe, outside the Admiral\u2019s marquee.The following are the gentlemen of Sir William Hewett\u2019s aa,^ ;_Capt.iMStram Speedy, specially at-tsc «ed by the Government ; Lieut.Graham, flag-lieut., Eurvalus ; Commander Crowe, her Majesty\u2019s ship \"Coquette ; \u2019 Lieutenant Paris, Euryalus ; Mr.Smith, acting secretary ; Mr.Fitzgerald, acting flag-lieutenant ; Dr.Gim- lett.Rev.Mr.Todd, chaplain ; Lieutenant Kennedy, Black Watch ; Mr.Wylde, of the house of Wylde, of the Red Sea Littoral.Mason Bey represents the Egyptian Government, and travels with separate camp equip-\u2022ge.The village of Ailet was in a stats ot unaccustomed excitement, for, in addition to our visit, there was a marriage ceremony, and the incessant noise of the tom-toms resounded far into the night.Accompanying Mr.Wylde I visited the village, and found in the compound of many of the huts dancing going on.As we approached one of the groups they made way for us, and brought out an angareps, a native bedstead, and invited us to be seated.Two men beating the torn«tom kept the circle, when two or three natives would spring into the centre of the ring and dance fast and funous, throwing their arms into the air and shouting themselves hoarse.Their steps were so erratic that I could uot follow them, but just aa they were showing aigus of fatigue they were joined by some ten or twelve comrades from the outer circle, who jumped about, flinging their arms above their heads, and clapping their hands furiously.Then the danoe finished.It was a very wild and novel sight.i Th^etrong moonlight glinting on the bright eyeTand white teeths of these savages in the ecstasy of their dance, the shrill cry of the women in the adjacent huts, and the incessant noise of itbe tom-toms made ns fully realize that we were now in the wilds of Africa.Besides the presents for King John, we took along with us the Royal mail.It is only on occasions of a mission like this that the Abyssinian bags ever get through.The correspondence between that country and Europe is not very great.We have about twelve letters and twenty newspapers, and one or two pamphlets for the improvement of King John.One especially must be very interesting and instructive r\u2014\" Fellow\u2019s Hypophosphites of Quinine, Strychnine, Iron, and Lime, with a few remarks on Potassia and Magnesia.\u201d This was posted early in 1883.A few copies of the British Trade Journal of the same year.Ths indefatigable American autograph hunter has been at work, and there is a letter from a collector in Icwa with \"H.H.Johannes II., Ruler of Abyssinia, Jordan,\u201d printed on the envelope by a Remington type-writer.This is dated September 13, 1883, so bis client must be growing impatient for the Royal signature.But the most extraordinary papers the mail bag contains are several pamphlets addressed \"To the Postmaster of Aukobar, with the request to transmit to the local club and coffeehouse,\u201d bearing an Italian stamp of last year\u2019s date, the contents printed in French and English ; and which is so remarkable a production in more ways than one that I enclose the copy in the author\u2019s English r\u2014 TO THE RULERS OF NATIONS, EXPLORERS OF THE BARTH, AND INHABITANTS OF THE GLOBE.I announce that i have discovered the cret of navigating the air in a balloon agains the wind.I have not yet put in practice my great discovery because the means are still wanting ; bat long study and repeated ex periments have assured me of a successful result and thas in a short time men will be able to navigate round the woold in a balloon Now this baing in many respects a delicate subject as the peace and tranquillity of the woold might be endaogered by the aero naut carrying arms and bombs across the confines of even the most powerful states and so exciting general uneasinep, it may be readily imagined that désirons aa I am that my invention be beneficial to the woold and not hurtful, I cannot divulge my secret till I learn the views and intentions of the different Governments and so avoid all unnecessary susceptibility and the possible effusion of blood and treasure to the slter destruction of all peace and security.If then my invention be thought worthy of yonr approbation, I await a reply before publishiog my secret.Francesco Mastrodomencio.Castelnuovo di Conza, Provincia di Salerno Considering that there is no local post in Abyssinia, and no local club or coffee house and no postmaster whatever, and not a half dozen persons who speak French or English in the whole of the country, it is very prob able that this aerial secret, so important to all nations, will never seriously disturb the sus ceptibility of the subjects of the Ruler of Ethiopie.The New Dominion Line Steamer \u201cVancouver.\u201d The dimensions of the \"Vancouver\u201d arc Length between perpendiculars, 430 feet breadth of beam, 45 feet ; depth of hold, 33 feet 6 inches ; tonnage, gross register 5,300 tons.Built of Consett iron under special survey of the Admiralty for Naval and Trans port services, and of Lloyd\u2019s according to their heaviest, viz., the three-decker, speci fication, but in many important respects strengthened in excess of the requirements of their highest class, and she is there fore exceptionally strong.Eight water tight bulkheads are carried up to the main deck, the doors in same bein watertight also.There are four decks, an she has in addition, a bridge deck.The steerage \u2019tween decks are nearly eight feet high, and are divuled into four compartments by the watertight bulkheads, each compart ment having a separate entrance in a spacious house on deck.The sanitary arrangements for male passengers are under a long turtle-bock forward, and for the|women and child ren under the turtle-back aft ; the steerages are well ventilated and lighted.The single men are berthed on the forward part of the ship, and the single women are berthed aft in charge of an experienced matron.Married comptes in centre.Accommodation is provided for 160 saloon passengers, 30 second cabins, 88 intermediate, and 1,200 eteerage.Electric light is supplied not only to saloon and state-rooms of first-class passengers, but to the intermediate, cabins, steerages, forecastle, and every department of the ship, including the side lights in the lighthouses ; the system being that of Messrs.Siemens, Bros.& Co., London, combined with Suflm\u2019s lamps two of Messrs.Tangye\u2019s engines, of power equal to 250 lamps each, can run jointly or singly ; the Swan lampe are enclosed in opal globes, giving a beautiful, soft, steady light very agreeable to the eye.The accommodation provided for the intermediate passengers is much superior to what has hitherto been thought good enough, and is more like second cabin, as regards the state-rooms there being not more than fonr berths in a room ; for this class there are provided male and female bathrooms, pantry, and a spacious sitting room.The saloon is amidships, forward of the engines and boilers, and is a very handsome apartment extending the full width of the ship with seats for 160 persons at four tables running fore and aft, and five tables on each side athwartships, thas permitting easier access, and making up family parties at table.Revolving arm chairs and sofas are richly upholstered in crimson and velvet.The cabinetwork of the saloon is in panels and pilasters of teak, maple, planetree, and walnut, decorated in excellen taste with designs of fruit, foliage, flowers, birds, Ac.A grand staircase, five feet in width, leads from the saloon entrance upwards to the music room, and thence to the promenade deck.The ladies\u2019 music room is ia the forward part of bridge deck, above the saloon, and is a very handsome apartment, with appropriate decorations ; one of Messrs.John Brinsmead and Sons\u2019 finest upright iron grand pianos, qf a new style known as' the \"Avenue\u201d model, discourses sweet sounds to the touch of flying fingers.Here, also, is a well-stocked library An elliptic opening between the saloon and music room permits the music to be equally enjoyed in both, and also provides light and ventilation.The state-rooms being in a single line along the aide of the ship makes them airy, light, and cheerful\u2014 a great desideratum to passengers.The berths are fitted with Rawcliffe\u2019s patent wire woven mat-trasses, which adapt themraives easily to the sleeper\u2019s form, and aie most comfortable.The ladies\u2019 boudoir is near the saloon, with bath-room, closets, and lavatory adjoining ; other bath-rooms, closets, and lavatories are carefully planned and placed wh^re meat conveuieut for the passengers.In the bridge deck there are a number ot very commodious state-rooms, at the forward end the barber\u2019s shop is near by, while farther aft are the second cabin state-rooms and moss room, and at the after end are the surgeon\u2019s ample quarters, with surgery adjoining.Further aft, in front of the turtle back, are six hospitals, fitted with every requisite; although there is so little serious illness at sea these are rarely fully occupied.On either side the bridge deck are foMmg doois, opening on a hall, or entrance to the saloon, 12 feet wide ; while passengers are received at one side their baggage can be received at the other.They are thus not brought into contact wilh the other passengers.The saloon and steerage galleys, bakehouse, baker\u2019s and butcher s shop, scullery and boot rooms are grouped near each other, and out of the way or passengers ; the former communicating by hoist for dishes and joints with tiie pantry below, in which are steam tables, coffee and tea vase, and everything necessary to ensure service of meals in an appetising manner.The great stability and eaiy motions of this ship, like her sisters the \"8arnia\u201d and \"Oregon,\u201d are sure to prevent vacant places at table, and to contribute much to the comfort and the passage generally.The prorr enade desk is 188 feet long, without any obstruction whatever, the Fidley casing rising about seven feet high, and carrying up overboard any dust or heat from the boiler department ; the \"Vancouver\u201dis in this respect unsurpassed.There is ample promenade room on the main deck for intermediate and steerage passengers.The smoking room is on bridge deck, and is a very cosy place, smokers can have as mnch fresh air as they desire to admit.Tne chart-room and captain\u2019s room and forward wheel-house are on the front of the bridge deck, the former is always open to the officer in charge at any hour of the night, while the captain can rent at hand, to be instantly called at all times when, on account of weather or navigation in narrow waters, he may feel it better not to occupy his commodious stateroom in front of the bridge below.The rig of the ship is square sails on the two forward masts, and fore and afters on the two after masts : she can spread a larve surface of canvas when the wind blows fair.The \"Vancouver\u201d will carry a very large cargo, and foa.expeditious working she has six hatches and six steam winches.When it may be necessary to work at night she is sapplied with a cluster cf electric lamps to illuminate the decks.She has Emerson and Walker\u2019s patent steam windlass ; the anchors are raised by a powerful crane instead of the old-fashioned davits.The life-boats are fitted with Hill & Clark\u2019s patent lowering apparatus.The ship is steered by Harrison's patent steam steering gear, the machinery being placed aft, where either the hand gear or steam gear can be used at option ; connecting also by steam pipes with the wheel-house in front of the bridge, where the quartermaster is Always under the eye of the officer in oharge.By this arrangement the steerage amidships ie rendered noiseless.The model of the skip is of medium fineness, with a good lifting bow, which will prevent her plunging heavily in a sea way, and enable her to maintain fier speed in heavy weather.It is a characteristic of this ship and her consorts that they are very dry in had weather, taking little water aboard.The engines and boilers have been made by Messrs.John and James Thomson, Finnies-ton Engine Works, Glasgow, and contain all the latest improvements, eveiydetail having been the subject of careful studyr The engines are of the three cylinders type, the high pressure cylinder being 58 inches diàmeter, and the two low pressure cylinders being 80 inches diameter each, and the stroke 66 inches ; the boilers being six in number, having thirty furnaces, 46 inches in diameter, made of Fox's patent corrugated steel, giving a large heating surface ; the initial pressure of steam per square inch ia 90 lbs, but the boilers are tested by the Board of Trade to over doable that pressure.The ship has two funnels.The steel propeller has been sapplied by Messrs.C.Cammell à Co., Limited.The compassés (an all important department) have been sapplied sod and adjusted by Mr.Thomas Bassnett, whose name is a guarantee for quality and correctness Besides these, there is Sir William Thompson\u2019s improved mariner's compass, a valuable aid to safe navigation.It is expected that the \"Vancouver\u201d will prove one of the fastest vessels in the Canadian trade.She is the twelfth ship engined 1er foe saw# turners by Messrs.John and James Thomson.The hall and engines were constructed under the supervision of Mr.William Glover, the company\u2019s consulting engineer.Captain C.J.Lindall, favourably known for his courtesy to passengers, and success as a navigator, while in command of the steamers \"Brooklyn\u201d and \"Sarnia,\u201d has been appointed to command the \"Vancouver.\u201d The \u201cZenobla.\" HorsfortTs Add Phosphate No Physician Need Hesitate.Dr.S.V.Clevenger, Chicago, Ill.» says : \"Hereford\u2019s Acid Pheephate should be made officinal.It is the most eligible form for the > \u2019\u2018administration of phospborons, and no physician need hesitate to order it on his prescription Charles Reade\u2019s Grave.{From the London Times.) Charles Reads was buried in the gMpe grave, aidé by tide; with a lady Who, together with her husband, bad been an almost lifelong friend of hia, and to whoae memory he erected a marble tomb with the following in* scription composed by Mr.Reads himself : \"Here lies the great heart ojfUaura Seymour, a brilliant artist, a humble Cnriatiaa' a charitable woman, a loving daughter, sister and friend, who lived for others from her childhood.Tenderly pitiful to all God\u2019a creatures, even to some that are frequently destroyed or neglected, she wiped away the tears from many laces, helping the poor with her savings and soothing the sorrowful with her earnest pity.When the eye saw her ' it blessed her, for her face was sunshine, her voie* was melody, and her heart was sympathy.Truth could say more and sorrow pines to enlarge upon fier virtues : but this would ill accord with her humility who justly disclaimed them all aod relied only on fbe merits of her Redeemer.After months of acute suffering, borne with gentle resignation and with sorrow for those who were to lose her, not for herself, she was released from her burden and fell asleep in Jeau* Sept.27, 1879, aged fifty-nina yean.\u2018Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy\u2019(Matt.v.7).Thu grave was made for her aod for himself by Charles Reade, whose wise councillor, loyal ally and boeotn friend she was

\"Zenobia,\u201d purchased in Glasgow for the Bishop of Algoma, and wqich was brought over on the \"Buenos Ayrean.\u201dis being thoroughly overhauled at Cantin\u2019s dockyard.The little vessel, although in need of repair, presents a very trim appearance, being after the same style as the well known \"Dolphin,\u201d formerly owned by Joe Vincent, tbe only difference being that the \"Zenobia\u201d has a cutaway stem and prettily gilded bows.She is considerably larger, however, being 59 feet on tbe keel and 11 feet beam.She is registered as eighteen tons and draws 2 feet 6 inches of water.She fa schooner rigged, aH having capacity for a fajr spread of canvas should be able to make good way under sail.The vessel, which is of teak, was built at Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, in 1870, and the ehginei.which are of fifteen nominal horse power, are by G.E.Ellis & Co., of Birmingham.Mr.Cameron, the engineer, who came out with the yacht and who has been engaged to take charge of her, stated that the average speed of the yacht under steam is ten knots, and in smooth water she oonld do even better.The passenger accommodation is aft and occupies about half of the vesael.The cabin is a very' cozy apartment for such a small craft, and has accommodation for some twenty persons.At night, the lounges down the side may be converted into berths, affording comfortable accommodation fortwo, while berths for another couple are furnished in a private stateroom forward of the cabin.The fittings also include lavatories, etc.The interior of the cabin is finished in bird\u2019s eye maple, a pretty decoration beinir an nniqne little tile fireplace surmounted with a mirror.The lounges and chairs, and the folding table which occupies tbe middle of the cabin, are of mahogany.A very comfortable forecastle is provided for tbe aooomodation of tbe craw, and every available corner in the vessel is utilized for lookers.The \"Zenobia\u201d carries two boats, a skiff and a lifs-boat which are carried at davits amidships.In every way the vessel appears well adapted to the purpose for which she is intended and when she has been fitted np she will be one of the finest
