1890.\tao-td LOTTERIES, The Montreal lottery concern is flooding, in defiance of the postal law, all parts of this Province with their circulars.These are sent through the mails to addresses which, we presume, ape ascertained from the directories.It is a pity that thç lottery managers could not be reached and punished.Only the other day, they had the nerve to ask the Chronicle its rates for advertising.Of course, wo informed them that we do not, on any account, insert advertisements of that character in our columns.On Saturday morning, the \u201cElecteur\u201d under the heading: \u201cA remarkable judiciary incident, Counsel endeavor to send Cardinal Taschereau to jail\u2014Great sensation in the City,\u201d accused the attorneys for the defendant in the case of the Sacred Heart Hospital Mde.Renaud, of threateuing Cardinal Taschereau, a witness in the case, with imprisonment if he refused to answer a question which was put to him.When the Court opened on Saturday morning, Messrs, Irvine, Lacoste and Casgrain called the Judge\u2019s attention to the article in question and called upon the counsel on the other side, Hon.F.Langelierand Mr.Bedard to disown any complicity in the publication of the article.Mr.Bedard said he was not the author of the article and for the present would not say whether he approved or disapproved of it.It v/as not made quite clear from Hon.Mr.Langelier s remarks whether he approved or disapproved either.Mr.Justice Andrews then expressed himself as follows :\u2014\t.,_«.* After hearing what has been said I ha\\e nothing further to add in this matter than to expreas my extreme disapprobation, not only of this article in l'Electeur, but also of the article which appeared in the Canadien ana of all articles which in any wav touch the proceedings In a case pending before a Court of Justice.Having said so much, I am extremly sorry to have also to express my entire disap-jrobatiou of the course taken by the counsel lor the plaintiffs, in not at once stating frankly that they are not the authors of the article in VElecteur and in not at once repudiating.and disapproving of it.How any man wearing the gown which wc are all proud to wear, can say that the publication of such an article is not a thing tending to the destruction of that which is the glory of our profession, and which was the glory of it when men lost their heads in the revolution of France, how any man can say that an article which tends to destroy the independence of the Bar, is an article with regard to which it may be said he, os a member of the Bar, neither approves or disapproves, I cannot understand.\t.\t.\t., This article is reprehensible to the last degree, The article desires to make political capital to the prejudice of the gentlemen, who, I am glad to say, are able to do their duty, and have done nothing but their duty.I can say that they have dope it in an ex.tremely delicate manner, and they wpixld have been recreant to their profession if they had not done it.\t.There is no right to assume that His hiintn-ence, if the Court had ordered him to answer would not have acquiesced in that decision apd given an answer, or perhaps he would have given §ucb further reasons that the order would pot be given.I, for my part, if J had thought the order should haVO been given, no matter who was liefore me, whether jt was the Governor-General or His Eminence the Cardinal, would have given the order, if I had thought the ends of justice required it, and I myself would have been recreant to the gown\u2019I wear if I had done otherwise.Jt was from no sense of the extreme respect which I ought to, and which I do, feel for His Eminence, that I did not give such an order ; it was because I thought that it was an order, Which, if I «ave, there would lie great doubt that I would he giving an order which law and justice would have sapctiop-ed.I therefore declined.I don\u2019t know whether this matter will go further, hut I have ex pressed the sentiments which I feel apd feel to the utmost extent of what I expressed them.Fire\u2014About 1.45 o\u2019clock this morning fire was discovered in the second flat of house No.5 Finlay Market Square, occupied by Jos.Gravel as a dwelling.The inmates were quickly aroused and all made their escape in safety, though a son and daughter of Mr.Jos.Bourbeau, who resides in the top flat of the building, had to jump for their lives out of a back window on to the roof of an adjoining building, and a policeman had to carry Mr.Gravel down the stairs, where he had falleu, asphyxiated by the dense smoke.The firemen were promptly on the scene and soon extinguished the flames.Tim damage by smoke and water, however, will be considerable.The origin of the fire is unknowu.Cloak Clasps,

Sea and Northwest qoast was 39,518, making about a value of $404,000.This amount exceeds that of last year, though the conditions are the oame, on account of the rise in the price of skins, The reason for the advance is the competition of the New Alaska Fur Company, which na.turally wishes to get the monopoly of traue.This, however, the numerous private and wealthy dealers will not allow them to do, and they quote high prices with them.The captains of the vessels affirm that the seals were more numerous this season than ever before, and that the rumors about the decay of the seal industry are simply malicious lies promulgated by hirelings of the Alaska Company is order to force on the American Government some strong reason for excluding the small vessels from the sea.It is quite true that this year seals were found in different localities from those of last year, but they also shifted their position in 1884 and 1387.This is owing to depredations made among fish by the seals, which have continually to change their feeding grounds.The seal follow immense shoals of cod and halibut that they ferret out of favourite points.yealiug men say the position of affairs remains unchanged.No

fipd it impossible to do business n ith steamships that do not discharge freight at Quebec.If they be dry goods importers for instance, and submitted to have their importations come as far West as Montreal by steamship, their new goods would be only leaving that city When nierejiants there had the same on exhibition in their shop windows.Thus, purchasers who arrived in Toronto in the morning to find merchants just opening up their new importations might have seen and oven purchased the same class of goods on the previous day in Quebec at Glover, Fry & Co.\u2019s or in Montreal at Cftrsjey\u2019s, There are, of course, a very large number of independent steamers running between Great Britain and Quebec, and also betwoen Quebec and the coal and other ports of tho Lower Provinces, besides steamers of the Ross, Donaldson, Hansa, White Cross, Thomson, Bosalore niid Black Diamond Lines, The s.s.\u201cMiramichi,\u201d of the Quebec Steamship Company, is a regular liner between Quebec and Prince Edward Island, calling at Father Point, Gaspo, Mai Bay, Perce, Sumnierside, Charlottetown and Pictou.This steamer does a very large freight and passenger business, and has excellent accommodation for tourists and others.The careful management of this company, which is entirely a Quebec concern, enables it to successfully maintain an excellent line of steamships between New York and Bermuda.The vessels of this service are the \u201cOrinoco\u201d and the \u2018Bermuda,\u201d and they call at St.Croix, St.Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, St.Lucia, Barbadoes and Trinidad.The steamship \u201cBeaver,\" belonging to A.Fraser & Co., sails fortnightly from Quebec for the Gaspe coast and Baie des Chaleurs as far as Paspebiac, and the same enterprising firm owns and runs the s.s \u201cOtter,\u201d which carries the mails to the north shore of the Gulf and forms a regular line from Quebec toBcrsiniis, Esquimaux Point, Natashquan and other points.Of purely river steamboats trading to the port of Quebec, the palm must of course be given to the boats of the Riche lieu and Ontario Navigation Company, wh:ch run through to the Saguenay river from lake to ocean, a distance of 1,000 miles, under one management from Niagara Falls to Chicoutimi, The President of this powerful Company, tho Hon.Thomas McGreevy, is a Quebecer, .and it is estimated that including officials, crews, laborers and agents, the Company\u2019s employees number fully 3,000 men.The upper or lake line of this Company comprises the only boats belonging to it that do not run to Quebec, for at Montreal, passengers are transferred to the larger and much more elegant and com-miîdious steamers, \u201cQuebec\u201d and \u201cMontreal,\u201d for this port.These magnificent floating palaces arc the admiration of all Canadian tourists, and very little inferior to them is the large three-decked steamer \u201cCanada\u201d that has latterly been put upon the Saguenay route 'with the \u201cUnion.! The supply of tugs and tow boats owned il) Quebec is enormous, These ape of all sijies and capacities, sopie of whiph seek employment in towing from points far below the irfirt, while others are chiefly eu^ gaged between Quebec ami Montreal, A fair idea of tho immense coasting trade done by the port of Quebec can only be had by paying a visit to tho forests of masts at the Palais and on the south side of tho new Louise basin, where schooners and Imtteaux throng several deep about tho wharves.With tho nearer parishes, constant communication and a lucrative trade is maintained by a number of comfortable and commodious market boats and ferry steamers, which ply as well to the Island of Orleans as to tho principal pointa of trade and settlement within a distance of a score or so of miles both up and down tho river.There is a most efficient ferry service between Quebec and Levis, especiallj-when the rigor of the Canadian winter and tho difficulties arising from ice in the river are taken into consideration.These difficulties necessitate tho maintenance of two distinct fleets of steamers.For the summer service two covered pontoons are used, of 760 tons.The summer fleet of steamers consists of the paddle wheel boats \u201cNorth\u201d and \u201cSouth,\u201d of 349and 329 tons respectively, and the screw steamer \u201cPolaris,\" this latter, chiefly employed for tho ferriage of G.T.R.freight.The \u201cPolaris\u201d isalso fitted for winter navigation, ami the remainder of tho winter fleet is composed of the screw steamers \u201cPilot and \u201cQueen\" of 426 and 436 tons respectively.In summer the boats cross every five minutes from each side of tho river in the daytime, but loss frequently at night.On an average the company employs 96men daily, and during the past year its boats made 41,000 trips, traversing in doing so, some 42,000 miles.s iiTrWTk a.OCEAN STEAMSHIP ARRIVALS.Dale Steamship Arrived at London New York Oct 25\u2014Aurania *\t\u2014City of Chester \u2018\t\u2014Obdain *\t\u2014City of Romo Oct 26\u2014Lu Gascogne Havre 1 \u2014La Bntagne New York \u2018 Arizona 4 Servia *\tItaly\t\u201c 4\t\u2014Uhaetia 4 Stavonia Oct 27\u2014-Polynesian\tQuebec From New York Liverpool Rotterdam Queenstown New York Havre Liverpool Hamburg Liverpool Probabilities for the Xext 34 IIonM for the at.Lawrence.Etc.Etc.Toronto, October 20, 11.00 p.m.\u2014Lower St.Lawrence and Gulf.\u2014Stong winds and gales from north-east and north-west ;
