hot mutton pieu and the dipper of hot coffee which are to be had for ten cents.To bo sure, tho one \"shelter\" accommodates all the cabmen in town, but wo should think that the cabmen tlieniselves would bo willing to pay a small regular subscription for the maintenance of permanent shelters, aud\u2014though it is with considerable diffidence that wo advocate increased expenditure bv the (Corporation\u2014the oity, which obtains nearly eight thousand dollars in a year from tho cabmen, might well employ somo of its funds iu helping to give them a little of that comfort which in had

PETKK norms as to I\u2019Rtkk kvki« having rksn in KO»IK HASH.ESS CLAIMS OF TH K HOMAN CHURCH.A sermon on this Mibject was preached yes-lord Ay evening in Calvary Church by tbe Itov.lit-orge II.Wells, as one of a courso now being deliveied in Mutt church on iiuestlous of doc trinal interest not often touched on In t rdinary practical preaching.He said this discourse had been originally one ot a series which ho had preached on tho lives and characters of the apostles, ami liad followed another from tho text.\u2022\u2022 Thou art Simon the son of Jou.i : thou ' shall bo called Cephas [or I\u2019eterJ (which Is by interpretation a stono\").tho theiuo of which Mr.Wl'UTF.l.K seems to bo a mau emin ontly fitted to represent this hybrid Pro viuee.An amusing discussion is going on i dares Mr.Robertson to have resigned be- was tho change of chart» ter wrought in tho r\t, \" \"y z j\tardent apostle from tho tlcklo Simon to tho trotn the l«and tnvtip to the lottery, while «.taUe I\u2019oter.Attention should now bo turnod being led half blindfold through au **ud-less succession of crooked places.It can hardly have been out of either lovo or respect that he stood by these gentlemen, u>.though by no moans prematurely, ho condemned the land swap by opposing tho entrance of Mr.Chapleau into tho de Doucher-ville ministry.Mr.Chapleau with the rail, way ring at his back being the strongest went in and Mr.Robertson went out.After the .l»ly administration had been starved out by the Legislative Council and Mr.Paquet and four others had been induced to change sides.Mr.Chapleau was called upon to form a ministry, and found Mr.Robertson by this time stalwart and supple enough to undertake to bo burden bearer in the much dreaded financial department.An Kuglish Protestant w.ts wanted, one who could face criticism from without and not interfere too much with policy within, a multitudo of reasons have been surmised to account forthe change now made, such for instance as that which de- in the papers a* to whether ho is an Englishman or a Frenchman, although all aro agre d in acknowledging that he is the re-presentive of an old Herman family.His fluent English is marked by no French accent, his voluble French is free from taint of English.He mixes with equal cordiality in French.English and Iri.-di society, and,\tthe bat that was looked upon with suspicion both in tho assembly of the beasts and of the birds, ho is popular in all.lie is as mueii Protestant as (\u2019.ttlio-Uc.as much Liberal as Conservative.At the moment, as he is to represent the minority iu tho province, ho is an English Fro.testant t onservative.cause his own railway schemes wero ignored while those of others wera making unbounded demands on the publie purse.But we refuse to believe this or any other insinuation damaging to Mr.Robertson so long a.> a most palpable explanation of his retirement offers itself.Mr.Robertson entered public life with a /eal for tho public good.It was not his intention that hi* first legislation on tho subject of temperance.which was dear to him.should be a step backward boll» in town and country.We conceive it possible that when he fell into cruel misrepresentations of his opponents he verily thought he was only holding them up to just obloquy, and we are assured that when his department time 1 nr.Latest
