five societies have failed to make returns.It is gratifying to note the forward position tafcen by Canadian Companies, tnree of which hold the foremost places.In comparing the amounts for which new policies have been issued, we find the Canada Life at the head of the poll with $2,581,690, for which 1,355 policies were issued ; next, the Confederation, with $1,554,558, and 1,076 policies; and third the Sun, with $1,252,200 and 900 policies ; the fourth, fifth, and sixth places are occupied by American Companies, the Globe Mutual with $1,201,-100 on 747 policies, the Ætna with $1,082,451 on 966 policies, and the Equitable with $936,915 and 410 policies.An English Company, the London and Lancashire, ranks seventh* with $811,750 and 455 policies, the Travellers (American) is eighth with $691,540 on 431 policies, while another English Company, the Reliance, is ninth with $520,750 for which 202 policies were issued.CURRENT EVENTS'- The liabilities\u2019 of Messrs.Rodier, Hearn k Co., wholesale grocers, whose failure was announced yesterday, are estimated *t $50,-000 to $55,000.The general aspect of matters is, in main, unaltered, and neither politics nor commerce affords one any sources of exciting news.Politically, we still remain in a state of tension and uncertainty, for although we are all crying and preaching peace, we are, nevertheless, keeping our powder amazingly dry, and leaving the result to Providence.Perhaps it is hardly fair to Providence that the matter shoujd be represented in that light, for, to take a rather lower view,Jit seems pretty clear that Gortschakoff has the settlement of the whole thing in his own hands, and that it needs but a couple of words or so from his tongue to set all Europe ablaze.That such a dire result may not ensue all men must most fervently hope^et that that may be the dismal finale of all these weary months of diplomacy we cannot fail to see.It is quite certain now, as it has been any time these six months, that this incertitude is exceedingly prejudicial to the revival of our expert trade, and that as soon as peace shall become an assured fact so soon will a material revival of manufacturing prosperity be brought about.People are actually grumbling quite as much as they have eyer done, but then we know the average Britisher will grumble; yet it seems tolerably patent that some of them are doing a heavy stroke of business, if we may judge from the export returns, as set forth by the Board of Trade.If your readers will be at the trouble to analyze these statistics, they will readily ascertain that in many important classes of manufactures there has been a really considerable increase of forijgn shipmen s, while at the same tim« there is no reason whatever for supposing that the home market has been less productive of orders than heretofore.Th« quantity of iron and steel sent out of the country during the month of March was 188.761 tons, as against 176,948 tons in March, 1877, so that in these respects t here has been a valuable increase, albeit the selling prices have not been augmented in anything like a corresponding degree.In general hardwares, too, there has been a growth of 1 per cent, on the month, and over 5 per cent, on the three months constituting the first quarter of the year.For tho quarter the increase in iron and steel amounts to about 9 per cent.\u2014steam engines having grown 23 per cent, in the month, and 12 per cent.in the quarter ; small arms, 7} per cent, in che quarter and 16 per cent, in the month ; ammunition, 24 per cent, in the three months and 119 per cent, in the month of March ; saddlery, 18 per cent, and 15 per cent, respectively ; plate and plated wares, 13 and 17 per cent., and so on in other respects.With the United States the month\u2019s transactions were : Wrought copper, 127 cwts ; hardware and cutlery, .£24,541 ; pig iron, 1,761 tons ; unwrought tin, 1,203 cwts ; hoops, sheets, armor or boiler plates, 67 tons; oast or wrought iron, 144 tons ; railroad of all sorts, 106 tons ; old iron, 349 tons ; bars, angles, bolts or rods, 504 tons ; un wrought steel, 389 tons ; tin plates, 8,417 tons ; machinery, other than steam engines, £13,746 ; lead in pig, sheets, &c., £576, and\u2019 iron rails, 31 tons ; besides sundiy miscellaneous articles not specifically enumerated.Thus I contend that with these facts before us we are bound to perceive that busisess is with difficulty kept in a state of repression by the political imbroglio, and that with any more settled state of things in that respect we are almost certain to feel a bound forward toward a marked revival.Whether this circumstance had any weight with those who met at last week\u2019s quarterly meetings, or otherwise, it is not for me to say, but the fact remains to lie recorded that in no instance was there any change in the official quotations of the leading ironmasters.\u2014Iron Age\u2019s Correspondence.INSOLVENT NOTICES.QUEBEC.New Meetings of Creditors\u2014Homer L.Lay, Waterloo, May 16 ;

immigration to our shores vould have ceased, until at the last a maddened people would have chosen any road out of the difficulty\u2014even that of dishonesty\u2014and would have, by Repudiation, disgraced the fair fame of the Province for ever.This is no fancy picture.There ars States in the American Union where we can sec the legitimate upshot of the system under which we have latterly been living here,states with greaternatural re sourcas than our own, which have been ruined because their affairs were con trolled by counterparts of the de Bon cherville Government.It is well for us that Mr.Letellier is the Lieutenant Governor of this Province ; that he dared to act promptly, boldly, and wisely; that he was able to call to his councils a man of the character and standing of Mr.Joly, in whom every one can place confidence ; and that the electors of the Province responded so nobly to the call which was made upon them by the Lieut.-Governor.We have been saved from a great danger : let us be thankful for it.The repose of the new Administration will not be upon a couch of roses.It is confronted by many and grave difficulties left it by its predecessors, and it will be called upon at once to answer the most serious of financial questions.It will take time to extricate ns from the perilous position in which we have been placed, and we may never, indeed, be entirely relieved from the woes which the late dom inant party brought upon us.But the administration of our affairs is now in the hands of honest and capable men, who will do all that men can do to better our situation.We believe,that their efforts will be covered with a very great measure of success, and we are sure\u2014come what may\u2014that Quebec, after an experience of sound and honest Government, will never again place herself in the hands of such reckless and incapable stewards as were those gentlemen who composed the late de Boucherville Adminstration.MESSRS.GOFF AND ROSS.To the Editor of tue Montréal herald.Sib,\u2014I observe a paragraph in the Witness of Saturday, regarding Mr.Goff and \u201c his approaching trial,\u201d to which I shall feel obliged if you will allow me a short space in your columns for reply.I have only a casual acquaintance with Mr.Goff, but I know something of the circumstances of his connection with the Canada Agricultural, and of the causes which brought about the catastrophe which has resulted so disastrously for that gentleman.I speak by the card, when I say that the parties who are persecuting him with heavy capiases are not anxious either for his trial, or for the arbitration which Mr.P.S.Ross a few days ago threw out a challenge for, and which challenge Mr.Goff accepted.They are only anxious that Goff should leave the country, or be put jail, so that investigation may be indefinitely postponed.A good proof of this lies|in the fact that within the last few hours> in spite of assurances from Mr.Ross that, pending the amval\u201eof his co-trustee, Mr.Fish, no steps should be taken to molest Mr.Goff, the capias for $22,000 has been renewed to stand good until the 28th inst_ Mr.Goff is still in the city, and, I have good reason to know, will not leave it ; and how any person can swear that he has reason to beliive Goff is going to leave it, is more than I can understand.On the 8th inst.(Wednesday) the Stewart-Goff conspiracy cases will have to be gone into before the Police Magistrate.Mr.Goff will be there to answer his bail, and I know that one of the Directors of the Canada Agricultural, who has hitherto been reticent, will, on that occasion, say a good deal in substantiation of Mr.Goff\u2019s charges.Meantime, it ji evident that the law of capias is again to he made an instrument of persecution, with a view, if possible, to drive Mr.Goff ont of the country.As I have a pecuniary interest in-(his matter, I am anxious that the charges made by Mr.Ross in his Report shall be fully and faitly investigated.Mr.Ross, however, now appears disposed to ward off enquiry, and I cannot but think a certain ring of politicians in this city, who cannot afford to stand an enquiry in this connection, are the parties who have instigated Mr.Ross to the renewal of the $22,000 capais.It will be remembered that a weeks back, Mr.Ross was apparently so anxious to secure Mr.Goff's presence that he even suggested the raising of $500 to pay the expenses of investigation, and stated that very moderate bail would be accepted.Mr.Goff is now here, and held in hail on charges to come up on the 8th ; and Mr.Ross, instead of courting the en quiry for which he) was;*so anxious, now again resorts to a heavy capais, for which he knows beforehand Gcff cannot be bail ed, as, according to Ross\u2019s statement, it would be followed by another, and another, and another.Mr.Editor, the public can only place one interpretation on Mr.Ross\u2019s conduct.He is desirous of stifling enquiry, and driving Mr.Goff out of the country, in the interest of people who have good reason for wishing the truth not to be known.A Stgckholdkk.\u2014A grand political demonstration will take place at St.Hyacinthe to-morrow, to celebrate the success of the Liberal Party in redeeming the Province of Quebec.Messrs.Joly, Marchand, Bachand, Ross, Chauveau, and a number of leading supporters of the new Government, are expected to bo present.A large delegation will go out from Montreal by a special train, whiefl leaves Bonaventure Station at 10 o\u2019clock.\u2014Grip, of Toronto, has j ust come out with an excellent cartoon.It is entitled, \u201cMay-Day in Quebec\u2014a Joly-fication,\u201d and it represents certain notable politicians dancing pound a May-pole, with Mr.Joly perched on the top as the May Queen (in breeks) scattering May flowers on the.dan-cers below, consisting of Messrs.Mackenzie, Brown, Holton, Penny, Dymond, Cartwright and Blake, with a small boy (de Boucherville) turning his back churlishly on the dancers, and Lieut.-Governor Lete-lier seated on a barrel marked \u201cPrerogative,\u201d giving them music, with the aid of a French horn.We have seldom seen in Canada, a more felicitous political cartoon, and it only increases our regret that Mr.Reugough does not oftener employ his pencil in delineating subjects of general Rominion interest, instead of confining flirpself for the most part to Ontario, which should not he his exclusive domain.We believe we are eqt wrong in attributing his last effort to his accidental presence jn the Eastern Townships during the late ejection campaign.THE LATE REV.DR.CHISHOLM.Alexandria, May 3rd, Intelligence having been received of the sudden decease of the Reverend Dr.Ghisholm, of Perth, for many years parish priest here, a large number of the residents of Alexandria asssembled last eyeping in order to express their sorrow, apd the high esteem and respect which the mapy Christian qualities of the de-ceceasod pevepepd gentleman, dpring his ministrations here, won fop him.Mr.Archibald D.McPhee, was appoipt-ed Chairman, and Mr.Donald A.McArthur, Secretary.After expression had been given to the general regret and sorrow felt fop the decease of Doctor Chisholm the following resolutions were Unanimously adopted : Moved by Dr.McMillan, M.D., and seconded by Duncan A.McDonald, \u201c That,having heard of the sudden death of the Rev, J.J.Chisholm, R.R., papish priest afc Perth, for many years parish priest at Alexandria, we, the iphabitants of Alexandria, desire to express our deep sympathy with his late parishioners ip the loss which they sustain in the death of ope, whose Christian deportment, scholarly attainments and charitable disposition towards his fellowmen were so marked.\u201d Moved by J.A, McDougald, and seconded by E.H.Tiffany, \u201c That, in the event of the removal of the remains of the Reverend Doctor Chisholm to Alexandria for interment, the same T\t_\tbe met at Lancaster station and accom- tp cfipopicle an act of fairness, justice, J panied to Alexandria; but, should the in AN ONTARIO VIEW OF QUEBEC POLITICS.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014To say that a very widespread interest is felt here,and throughout the Province, in the rather shady doings of the de Boucherville Government, would be to state the position mildly.Discussion rife, both among business men and in the newspapers ; and if the result of the forthcoming elections, by any chance, develops a triumph for that party who bend their energies to use power for the gratification of axe-grinding tendencies, there are strong indications that it will be short lived.It will simply lead to an effort, mors or less prolonged, according to circumstances, to put an end to Local Provincial Governments altogether, and hurry on the completion of the Federation of the Provineee by the formation rf one central Government\u2014a result hardly likely to be appreciated by the de Bouchervilles of our nation, but one which* the most thoughtful men here strongly believe to be t be dictate of that wisdom which has for its aim purity.The publication of the letter of Mr.E H.Goff in yours of the20tb, is exercising the very natural effect of stimulating this line of thought.Whatever doubts may be en tertained\u2014and it is inevitable there should be some\u2014as regards the purity of Mr.Goff\u2019s motives in the ex osure he has made, few can read his letter without being impressed by the internal evidence of truth which pervades it.It is a very likely story, and painfully consistent with the facts already known ; and if it does not justify his course with regard to all his transactions in the affairs of the Canada Agricultural, it at least assigns a cause intelligible to business men, for the complicated and even apparently dishonest manipulation of stocks of which he has been, and is, accused Viewed from the standpoint of his letter-it becomes possible for the charitably-disposed to perceive that, at least, his motives may have been honest while endeavouring to carry out his schemes, in full dependence on the promised grant from the Quebec Government which, when fulfilled, would set matters right again.Nor is the exercise of such charity necessarily of the kind which covers up and hides from the light a multitude of sins, but of the purer sort, which discerns error, though it can perceive the motive which prompted it possibly pure.Further developments are eagerly looked for here, and, in this city at least, every moral support possible can be confidently relied on to that party whose political code does not embrace the proposition that money spent on legitimate (?) election expenses must needs be like seed sown on the soft ground of the voting element, to.ba reared and cultivated into producing, for the fortunate sower, during the reaping season of office, an interest of 30, 60, or a 100 fold.Yours observantly, \u201c Ar«us.\u201d Toronto, April, 1878.THE ORANGEMEN\u2019S REPLY TO THE LETTER OF HIS LORDSHIP THE METROPOLITAN, AND OTHER OF THE PROTESTAT CLERGY.We have been requested to publish the following letter from the Orangemen of Montreal, in reply to the address presented to them from the Protestant clergy of the city, urging them to desist from their intention to walk in public procession on the next 12th July, which address was read in the City Council meeting on Friday.It is alleged that that address was only received by the Orangemen at a meeting held on the 15th ult., when they resolved, by a vote of 367, to not entertain it, as there were various reasons for the delay in replying to the address.The Committee appointed to frame a reply are aggrieved because the address was made public,without their knowledge or consent, and the matter subjected to public discussion before the rep yjwas given : Reverend and Dear Sirs : In reply to your address to the Orangemen of Montreal and throughout the Dominion of Canada, on the subject of a procession on the 12th July next, we have to thank you for the expression of your kindiy feelings, and we, in return, express our belief that you are actuated by friendly motives.Wo fully endorse your statements that our Lord and Saviour should be our councillor and guide, and we would remind you t'r at His last entrance into Jerusalem was in a procession, which was a mortification and a humiliation to the Priests and Pharisees of that day.You ask what were the principles he taught?and then you reply in a series of Scriptural texts, which we respectfully submit might have been applicable were we the aggressors on the liberty of others ; whereas, such is not the case, and we ask nolhing that we will not eh< erfilly accord to others ; and we further submit.that had the principles laid down by you in this address been followed by the early martyrs, the Protestant Reformation would have never taken place, the Christian religion would never have been introduced, and Protestant and Catholic would have been unknown.Again, you ask with the words \" Blessed are the peacemakers,\u201d &c., &c.But we think you have forgotten the unprovoked and cruel murder of Hackett, the cowardly attacks on defenceless women, the un-British conduct of a Mayor sympathizing with rowdyism, the disgrace! ul deception of a Coroner, the partisanship of the Grand Jury, and, by no means least, the fact that the blood of a murdered citizen cries for justice in vain in a British Colony, and under a rule where the laws of England are celebrated for their attention to the claims of the oppressed.As to the question of the right to walk, &e\u201e We have to state that we claim as a positive legal right what you only admit as a probable legal one.When you ask, in your third paragraph, \u201c Is such a course necessary ?\u201d we reply No,\u201d if by this you mean marching about the city iu an objectless procession, but if you refer to our marching in a bodv for mutual protection to the House of God\u201d, to offer up our sincere thanks for the deliverance of our fatherland from the tyranical and despotic rule of one of the vilest and worst kings who ever wore the royal ermine\u2014a deliverance whose benefits Great Britain and her colonies now realize\u2014blessings for which all should be thankful\u2014we answer, \u201c most decidedly Yes and to justify us in this, we have only to remind you of the broken compact of last year, broken without a shadow of excuse by men who proved that their respect for law, order, justice and a'solemn compaciwere equal- Wehave only to remind you of the forced refusal of a place of worship to meet in, owing to threats ; we have only to remind you of the inability or unwillingness of our Mag-istvates and city officials to maintain the public peace, and give Orangemen peaceful worship ; and we have to add that we believe that, were we to^forego this right, that our lives in this city would hereafter be considered as of no value, and the same murderous element which was at work last year when no processien was held, would be again rampant, and defenceless Orange men would be foully murdered in cold blood while going to their daily avocations You refer to our numerical inferiority, aid yet you address the Orangemen of Canada whose numbers you have not considered.We respectfully deny that the Orangemen of Canada are numerically in ferior ; nay more, we contend that even if it were so, where the question of principle is involved\u2014as is the case here, the one of civil rights being affected\u2014the question of numbers is a minor one, and we point with pride to the action of the Prentice Boys of Derry, whose conduct the immortal Macaulay did not consider unworthy of one of the most touching pages of his eloquent history of his country.Before concluding, we cannot refrain from an expression of our regret that those who purpose interfering with us had not been addressed by you, with a view to in duce them to take up as their motto in this Canada of ours, equal rights and privileges to all Her Majesty\u2019s loyal subjects.And we remain with all affection.Yours very respectfully, ?\tDavid Grant, County Master., Abraham Mackey, District Master.Montreal, May 3rd, 1878.crape, and bearers ;

It appears that when the scene of th latter disturbance was visited by the de tectives on Tuesday morning last, the damp ground on the Point St.Charles side of the wooden but (where the party were in am bush) bore imprints as though of several men\u2019s knees.From this fact, and the fact that several large slugs of lead were extracted from the two telegraph posts situate some fifty or sixty paces distant, on the other side of the road leading to \u201c The Point,\u201d it is presumed that the weapons used were fowling pieces, loaded with leaden slugs ; that the range taken was in most instances too high to be effective in taking life, and that the party fired at, was fired at from behind, as they were proceeding towards the Point.It will he remembered that Mr.Beique, and other eye-witnesses, stated that some of the reports of the firearms were much louder than others.The enquiry into the death of the victim, TBB LATE JOHN COLLIQAN.will he resumed this morning.His funeral took place yesterday afternoon, from his late residence, St.Patrick street.Despite the drenching rain which prevailed during the entire day, the various Irish Catholic societies attended in full force, and the streets of Point St.Charles and Grifiintown were for the most part lined with spectators, who took up their positions shortly before two o\u2019clock, and waited patiently in the drenching rain until nearly three, and past, to witness the mournful procession.Shortly before three o\u2019cl ;ck the funeral started, and proceeded via Wellington, Murray, past the residence of the mother of the deceased, through William and McGill streets, up Beaver Hall, by Sherbrooke street and Cotes des Neiges Hill, to the cemetery.It is no exaggeration to say that every Irish Catholic, whose health and other circumstances permitted him to be present, was present.No regalia was worn by any of the members of the Irish Catholic Union, who simply wore a piece of crape round the left aim, tied with a piece of green ribbon.The Presidents of the several other Irish Societies wore their regalia beneath their overcoats, and some of the members wore their badges of membership, covered with crape, on the left lappel of their coats.The eorfege proceeded at a slow, but ri gu-lar, walk, without any stoppages, and occupied one houp and five minutes in pass, ing a given point\u2014i.e., the telegraph posts which reçeived several of the slpgs fired by the party in ambush on the fatal night, and which were specially pointed out* and scanned with interest by a large number of the processionists.It is estimated that the cortege, when passing the spot referred to, was composed of fully five thousand men, some say far more.The following ia the order of the procession :\u2014 Grand Marshal 1.C.U., Mr.Edward Coyle ;
