Shareholders of the Jacques Cartier Bank, which was recently appoinred to confer with the Directors as to the status and prospect; of the bank, today laid their report before a meeting of the shareholders.The report was as follows :\u2014 In accordance with the resolution of the shareholders, your Committee held a conference with the directors and cashier of the bank on 3rd inet.Six directors were present, including Vice-President, who, in absence of the President, occupied the chair.Your Committee was received very courteously, and every informrtionafforded them by which the directors, in the interests of the bank, felt at liberty to communicate.In reply to an enquiry as to non-payment of a dividend, the directors, who spoke through the cashier, stated that, while the earnings of the bank would have warranted the payment of a dividend, there had been considerable shrinkage in assets, heretofore estimât ed as good, while the returns from the coal mine would not for the present year be equal to the estimate from that source, and that under these circumstances the directors did not feel warranted in declaring a dividend.In reference to the state of inaction in which the business of the bank still continues, the Direoters stated that the active means at the disposal of the bank were small, that no arrangements had been made for foreign credits, and that while the purchase of the coal mine was made with the belief that it would ultimately be profitable, that the payment of the large amount which was disbursted for it also deprived the bank of that amount for use in its general business.As regards the future of the Bank, your Committee feel that much will depend upon greater efforts being made to extend its general business by increasing its circulation and deposits, the latter at such rates as will be profitable to the Bank.Your Committee also consider that the Directors should make known to the shareholders as soon as possible whether they have any hope of so increasing the earnings as to be able to declare a dividend within the next 12 months, @r whether in their opinion it will be necessary to retain the earniff^s for a longer period to make up for the losses.In regard to the present value of assets the cashier stated that in his opinion the capital of the bank was intaC, with a surplus of $50,000 after all ascertained and probable losses had been deducted.Your Committee, of course, had no means to verify this opinion.[Signed,] W.Darling, Robert Anderson, J.R.Rolland, J.B.Mongenais, W.Weir, and O.Faucbier, Secretary.____________________ THE CROPS IN ONTARIO.Canada Wheat, offered at $1.00.Oatmeal.\u2014Ontario, $4.00.Corn.\u2014Per 56 lbs., 42$c.bid.Oats, per 32 lbs.\u2014Offered at

April were much leas than for the corresponding month of either of the two preceding years, as is shown by the following table :\u2014 April, April, April, 1878.\t1877.\t1876.Loads.Loads.Loads.Hewn

im-ported from Canada, shows a great falling I off as compared with a like period in the The Mail thus reviews the reports from various sections of the Province of Ontario with regard to the crops :\u2014 \u201c The statement of the condition of the growing crops, which we laid before our readers this morning, embraced reports from 72 points in the Province, and contained a good deal of information which it may be well to summarise.lu regard to barley, we find that 37 townships report a decrease of from 25 to 50 per cent, on the average ; two a decrease of about 75 per cent.; three report none sown, and two the usual quantity, while from other points the reports are rather vague.It is evident that here wë have a very large decrease in the acreage of this crop, and a consequent decrease in the supplies assured.Prospects seem generally to be in favour of an average yield : but in no instance is any more promised, while in several places it is said to have been damaged by the frost.Fall wheat has evidently come into favour ; forty-nine points report an increase and only three a decre rse in the acreage, while ten report it CANADIAN.BELLEVILLE, June 5.\u2014Cheese\u2014The

earnestly deprecating bird-nesting, says :\u2014 \u201c A bird\u2019s uestcontaius ou an average five eggs, which would, in the natural course, become five little birds.Each little one eats daily fifty flies or other insects, and this consumption extends over four or five weeks.Taking it at an average of thirty days, we shall find the number of flies destroyed by each nest of birds to be 7,500.Now, every fly eats daily a quantity of flowers, leaves, &c., equivalent to its weight, until it attains its maximum of growth ; in thirty days it will have eaten a flower a day, a flower which would have become fruit.Each fly (the term is used, we presume, for insects generally) then having, we will say, eaten thirty fruits in thirty days, the 7,500 flies which a nest of birds would have consumed cause a loss to us of 225,000 apples, pears, apricots and peaches.We commend this view of the matter to the parents of marauding children.\u201d The Grand Central Hotel, New York, possesses

would have been obtained below the town plot, and at a much smaller cost.The line of railway could have been made to terminate on the river bank at the McKellar farm without increasing its length or passing through the town plot, while the river navigation would have been shortened ; and the locality named possesses all the requisites for an* important railway terminus.The obtaining of the necessary land would also have been greatly facilitated, as only one or two lot-owners would have had to be dealt with, whereas, at the town plot there were fifty-five, the arranging with whom occupied two valuators, and a solicitor, for months at a large expense to the country.The evidence did not disclose any reason which, in the opinion of your Committee, can be accepted as satisfactory, for deflecting the railway in order to make it enter the town plot of Fort William at the western limit, and then to pass through all the front lots to the eastern limit.From the McKellar farm towards the mouth of the river, the bank is of a convenient height for docks, and the land is favorable for terminal grounds ; the river flows in a straight course to the lake, making the navigation safe and easy, whereas between the point named and that adopted for the terminus, there is a sharp elbow in the river which necessarily increases the awkwardness of navigating it.The distance from Murillo station\u2014the first station west of Fort William\u2014is as nearly as possible the same ts the river at the McKellar farm as to the terminus at the town plot.For these reasons, your Committee is of opinion, that the terminus was not judiciously chosen.In the first place, it seems not a little amusing that a number of gentlemen, none of whom are engineers, should, with the aplomb and gravity remarkable in the preceding sentences, undertake to pass upon the decision arrived at by professional men, with a gentleman of so much experience as Sir S.Fleming at tbeir bead\u2014a gentleman chosen by the Conservative Government, at the express recommendation of the British Government, to lay out the Intercolonial, and afterwards appointed, also by the Conservative Government, to the Pacific Railway.Surely, his opinion on a professional subject should be accepted in itself as a satisfactory reason for its adoption.When you have the opinion of the man chief in command it is not usual to prefer that of a subordinate of less experience, and presumably of inferior judgment.For the purpose of their own theory, however, the Committee apparently conceive that Mr.Murdoch, one of Sir S.Fleming\u2019s staff, should have been accepted as an authority in opposition to the Chief Engineer.Some light will be thrown, however, on tne propriety of this notion» apart from its abnormal character, by reading the following extract from Mr.Murdoch\u2019s evidence, in illustration of the conscientious disinterestedness of his advice :\u2014 Mr.Alexander Simpson was an officer of my staff, now dead.He was with me at the Kamiuistiquia during one survey, iu the year 1872 or 1873, I think.He made a survey of the land at the mouth of the Kamiuistiquia River.Exhibit No.7 are his field notes of a survey made for John McIntyre, of the Hudson Bay Company, of his land shewn on my plan sent in to Mr.Fleming ; and in that report there is the following recommendation :\u2014r* I would \u201c respectfully submit for your considera-\u201c tion the propriety of producing the line \u201c towards the mouth of the river to obtain \u201c a lower level for docks, &c , and also for \u201c later navigation in the fall of the year.\u201d I suppose that exhibit No.7 was fyled in the rown Lands Department, but I believe I never saw it before.I am aware that Mr.McIntyre sent in an application for the land in that survey.Mr.McIntyre and myself had some conversation in reference to it.Then come these questions and answers :\u2014 THE LAKE SUPERIOR TERMINUS OF THE PACIFIC RAILWAY.We have endeavoured in former articles on this subject to show how completely the majority of the Senate Committee contradicted by their report the real facts established by the evidence before them on two principal points.One of these was the question, if the men who happened to be in possession of the land acquired for the station had really enjoyed any favour in the way of early information at the hands of the Ministry?\u2014the other whether the strong disapproval of the choice of the river instead of the landing was a fair deduction from the weight of evidence, or was not rather an expression of preconceived prejudice, supporting itself on very weak testimony, against the strong proof on the other side ?On both these points, we believe that we have shown the findings of the report to be in opposition of the most auchoi'itative statements from the best-informed witnesses.The importance of the choice of this point, probably for a large city at no distant future is so great, that, at the risk of being somewhat tedious, we propose to exhaust this topic by discussing two particulars which still remain untouched by us.The first of these, which naturally follows the question as to the preference of the river over the landing on the open bay, is the spot chosen on the river\u2019s bank.We shall follow our previous course of first showing what the Committee report, and then quoting.the contradictory pieces of evidence which the report completely ignores.The Committee reports as fol-lows :\u2014 If, notwitnstanding this, the Government decided that the Kaministiquia afforded the best site for the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, your Committee submit that the best point on the bank of the river has not been selected, whether \u2022either the cost or the convenience of the terminal grounds be considered.The height of the banks was considered by the \u2022engineer in charge of the surveys, M,r.Murdoch, a serious objection to the present site ; and he, in his report to the Government, suggested that a place farther down the river, \u201c towards its mouth, should be selected for the terminus, to obtain lower levels and longer navigation in the fall of the year.\u201d No notice, however, appears to 1879, made the following statement of the reasons for the selection :\u2014 The river opposite the terminus is 400 feet wide, and it is 30 feet deep opposite the town-plot, and sufficiently deep at the edge for vessels to come alongside.It is shallower near the mouth than further up.The banka are not very high there.That is the first point where they become io»f.They increase in height as yon go back.Immediately on the river the banks are six or seven feet above the water.Anywhere on the river would do equally well, except up further, where we could not reach it by land on account of the high hanks.We could havo gone lower down ; but we wanted to get the nearest available point to Red River.We could give several other quotations to show that, for purposes of wharfage, the site chosen has peculiar advantages, owing to the depth of water not only being greater, on the average, across the river than elsewhere, which is, perhaps, a matter of small consequence, but chiefly on account of its being at that point so deep close to the hank as to enable vessels to he alongside.We need not, however, we think, enlarge on this head.We have said enough to show that the professional men and the Minister had very definite notions of the ground which determined their choice ; that this view was not made from caprice, and still less from interested motives, since it was the condition of being at the head of the navigation that was looked for, not the proprietorship of the spot.Indeed, as we have shown in a former article, Mr.Mackenzie was surprised to find that that condition placed the terminus on the land where it is now situated.That will be amply satisfactory, unless, indeed, we are to havo our engineering done for the future by Committees of men whose only qualification is a seat in Parliament, .with a self-conceit like that imputed to the late Earl Russell, who, it was onee said, would have been equally willing to have cut for the stove or take charge of the Channel fleet.Was it considered that you were to have a share in the land ?Not necessarily.Still I believe you expected a share in it ?No, I did not expect it * * * Mr.McIntyre said he would give me a share in it, but there was nothing drawn out between us.And you sent Mr.Simpson to make a survey and plan of the land for Mr.McIntyre ?I permitted Mr.Simpson to make that plan while he was an officer of the Government, and I ihinkl hada perfect right to do so, as Mr.Simpson was not doing any work at the time.*\t*\t* Mr.McIntyre spoke to me several times about it, and he said to me, \u201c If you want \u201can interest in the land I will give you an \u201c interest in it.\u201d There is other evidence showing that Mr.Muidoch expressed his détermina tion to revenge himself on the Government for a disappointment by which he had lost $10,000 ; but the above is sufficient to show that, in recommending the production of the lise lower down the river than the site actually chosen, Mr.Murdoch was recommending that it should be taken to a spot in which he had been promised an interest, and which he had caused to be surveyed gratuitously for the proprietor, by opp of his staff, while in the pay of the Government.Mr.Mackenzie dismissed this gentleman, as our readers will think, with very good reason ; and Mr.Murdoch does not attempt to conceal his displeasure.But with the knowledge of all these facts, yet carefully avoiding any notice of them in their report, the Committee introduce this dismissed officer\u2019s interested opinion as though it formed a kind of gospel of engineering, which it was something like blasphemy not to accept against the decision of the Chief Engineer of the road.The latter reason for the choice, by a Minister who is not a professional man, will, to most minds, be amply sufficient.But Sir S.Fleming\u2019s judgment was not founded on such recondite grounds as to make it impossible for any of us to understand them, though it is, of course, difficult for men who are not engineers to compare the reasons for one course rather than another, and decide on which side the balance of advantage lies.The main reason was not that, which the Committee seem to think ought t@ have prevailed, viz., in order to save river navigation\u2014for river navigation costs nothing\u2014but to save length of railway, which costs much, especially in a place where land damages were so high.Accordingly, we find Mr.Murdoch, as witness, state this : My instructions to begin the railway survey from Kaministiquia were dated 30th June, 1874.Mr.Sandford Fleming gave me written instructions.Mr.Mackenzie, the Premier, also gave me instructions.The instructions given me by Mr.Fleming were, that I wasto commence from the head of the.navigation on the Kaministiquia river, and locate a line- between that and Lake Shebandowan.The instructions Mr.Mackenzie gave me consisted in commencing the survey from the head of navigation.The located terminus is literally at the head of navigation.Now let us see why those who had the responsibility preferred the head of the navigation rather than the lower location :\u2014 Mr.McKenzie\u2014Mr.Fleming, Mr.Trudeau, my deputy and myself had repeated consultations about it, and my own impression was that it would be better to bring the railway to Pointe de Meurons, that being the head of the deep water navigation, so as to have the whole length of the river for harbour purposes and save so many miles of railroad.I knew nothing technically about the position.I knew generally wnat sort of a river it was, the formation of the banks, the depth of water and, also, the depth of the water on the bar.I had that general information ; and Mr.Fleming seemed to be quite clear, as well as Mr- Trudeau, that that was the best place to locate it.I coincided with that view, audit was selected by general acquiescence of the Heads of the Department ; the Chief Engineer, the district engineer, my deputy and myself.Mr.Fleming and Mr.Murdoch both said the high banks above would make it practically impossible to get to any point higher up the bank.Q.It was then brougfit down to the nearest available point r\u2014-Tt tyas brought to where it is.Sir S.Fleming, in his evidence before the Committee during the session of MISSISQUOl.In these days, and in this work-a-day world, it ought not to be supfising if, at times, something strange comes to the surface over and above the sensational items concerning war or peace which reach us from Europe or New York.In this Province it is not often that we are furnished with exciting topics, hut the news that ex-Solicitor-General Baker has been chosen, by what seems to he a large majority, as the man, par excellence, who is entitled to represent the pure, disinterested, loyal and honest Conservatives of Missisquoi, is indeed surprising.If Mr.Baker is really their choice, as we are informed he is, we cannot complain It is their business to select a repre sentative.But many will be grieved that their patriotism did not seek a different direction.It was understood that Mr.Thomas White was a man entirely after their own heart, and why he has been thrown over at the eleventh hour in favour of a purely local candidate\u2014and that candidate Mr.Baker\u2014is more than outsiders are able to understand.We hear it stated \u2014we know not with what truth\u2014that many 0 mservatives in the County are desirous of bringing out Mr.Goff in opposition to the Solicitor-General, and it is said to he by no means unlikely that that gentleman will accept.A battle between Messrs.Goff and Baker in Missisquoi would be especially interesting at this juncture.They are both popular, locally, and both are credited with tact, discretion and judgment, as politicians.Moreover, they are both Conservatives, and though they may perhaps represent different types of Conservatism, each, iu his way, may ejaim to ha a representative of Conservative principles.We learn, by telegraph, that Mr.Baker was the.choice of a \u201c Convention\u201d held at Bedford yesterday, by a two-thirds majority.We felicitate him upon his success, and sincerely trust that he will go to the polls as an Opposition candidate.His late discomfiture will only he a recommendation to the Great Leaders of the Party, And should Missisquoi decide that Mr.Baker is a fit and proper person to represent in the Federal Parliament its intelligence, loyalty and honesty, the country will understand the full import of its choice, as it understands why Sir John Macdonald was chosen as the representative and incarnation of Conservative principles in the Dominion.CORRESPONDENCE FROfYI QUEBEC.Special to the Montreal Herald.Qukeec, June 5.\u2014To-day has been a repetition, on a smaller scale, of yesterday, with the exception of the formal breaking-up of the ground ; no Legislative work being done.It seemed pretty well conceded this morning that Mr.Joly\u2019s working majority was secured, and that yesterday\u2019s vote had simply been, on the part of several Conservatives, a last tribute to old party friendship.The topics of discussion in the lobbies and in tbt, hotels narrowed down to the nature of the Lieutenant-Governor\u2019s speech, the actual majority, for the proposed measures and conjectures as to the duration of the session.At 3 p.m.the galleries of both Chambers were packed, and the Legislative Counoil-Room had the same brilliant look as yesterday, pretty faces and becoming dresses making up for the inevitable tameness of the second presentation of the great Parliamentary spectacle ; which, unlike the drama, is successful only on the first performance.His Honour haring been received with the usual ceremony, the Lower House was sammoned.Mr.Turcotte announced in the usual formula his election as Speaker; the lequest for free access to His Honour\u2019s person appearing a keen sarcasm upon the ventle.men who thought they could manage affairs quite well enough without troubling the Queen\u2019s representative.Mr.Chapleau, oddly enough, was the immediate follower of the Speaker, hut got quietly away to a less prominent position near the back of Mr.de Bon-cherville, who looked rather glum as the speech progressed.As will.be seen, the programme for this Session\u2019s work is much the same as has been foreshadowed by the Liberal press.It is eminently satisfactory to find such vigourous (measures at once taken, and there can be little doubt that they wiji meet with approval from the House, public ser.riment is decidedly in their favour, and indeed the warmth and universality of opinion in this regard, as expressed in places \u201c Where men do congregate,\u201d is remarkable.Quebec is so decidedly reform in feeling that a de Bouchervilleite would meet with scant courtesy if he ventured a public expression of taxationist ideas.The deficit in the revenue is nothing more than was to be expected, but it is feared that it is a very serious one, and will add much to the cares that devolve upon the new Ministry.Rumour puts the amount at a high figure, but nothing definite can be said.The Bill for the abolition of the Legislative Council, if carried, will go a long way in the rigfyt direction, a,s the cost of the Legislative .Council of Quebec ein.ee Confederation (1868 to 1875), both years included; is shown by a statement prepared for the Legislature to have been nearly 8359,845, or close on §50,000 per annum; hut a strong opposition to this will be made by the sages who sit in the Upper Chamber.The proposed measure for the carrying out of the Provincial Railways by the Public Works Department is another point that meets with general approval.It is said that Mr.Light will be retained under Mr.Shanly, but that the army of hangers-on will get their conge at once.It has not transpired what substitute, if any.for the District Magistracy will be proposed.The announcement in the Speech that no taxation ought to be resorted to drew applause from the galleries; that showed plainly how little hold the taxationists\u2019 doctrine have upon the intelligence of the electors.A copy of the Speech having been given to the Speaker of the House, the members withdrew and proceeded to business, which did not amount to more than the usual formal motions of privileges, elections, printing, etc.The consideration of the Speech was made the order for to-morrow, and the House then adjourned.The Lieutenant-Governor was received with a guard of honour from \u201cB\u201d Battery, and a salute from the Citadel, aud was escorted to and from the House by a detachment from ATroop, Canadian Hussars, under the command of Major Macdonald.The smart look of the troops and their good movements were most noticeable, and a credit to the Canadian Militia.The \u201c B\u201d Battery, as usual, was up to the mark in every way, and this time did not salute the Spanish Consul by mistake, probably recognizing his gorgeous uniform better than they did yesterday.The majority of the Government may be confidently placed as at least six or seven.Several Conservaties having, it is understood, made it known that they would follow Mr Price\u2019s lead.Names are hard to get at, hut it would not be out of the way to expect Messrs.Audet, Lynch, Magnan, Caron, Peltier and one or two more of the moderates to declare for a fair and honest trial for honest measures.There is some rumours, too, that Mr.Robertson will support Mr.Joly\u2019s general policy.At all events, long odds can be had on a majority for the Government of the numbers we have mentioned, and takers are scarce, as Conservative confidence does not seem so high, as the Liberal winnings in silk hats would indicate it, as it did up to yesterday.The duration of the Session is estimated very variously all the way from a week to a month.The formel period is, of course, improbable.There are many important details to consider, and the number of good speakers on both sides is large.But the wish of the Ministry is to get the work done as quickly as possible, in which they are joined by many of their opponents.There has been jpmetalk of the Session being made a thirty days one, in order that the allowance may be drawn, but such an idea will hardly be countenanced by the majority pledged to economy, and time istoo valuable at this season of the year for the respectable of the Conservative party to yield to those who would attempt a last raid on the Treasury.The assurance of several Conservatives is that that they will not support any obstructiveness, so if due repression of oratorical flights is practised and work is closely stuck to, ten days or a fortnight should end everything.The Address will be moved in the Assembly by Mr.Gagnon, of Kamour-aska, and seconded by our Civic Finance Minister (Alderman Nelson), concerning whom there is much enquiry, as his financial abilities have given him a wide reputation.Mr.McShane is also looked to for Parliamentary ability and readi ness in debate.The discussion on the Address will be a hot one.The constitutional question, as a text, will afford Mr.Chapleau wide room for personal commentary upon everybody he wisnes to abuse.In the Council, Hon.Mr.Robillard will move the Address.The representatives of the Press had, according to custom, their own parliament after the adjournment of the House, and elected the following officers:\u2014President, for the Parliament, Mr.Levasseur, of L\u2019Evénement ; Secretary, for the session, Mr.Chambers, Quebec Chronicle ; Council, for the ses sion.Messrs.Carroll, Quebec Daily Telegraph ; Yallee, Courrier du Canada ; Desjardins, Le Canadien; Tremblay, L\u2019Eclaireur ; Creighton, Montreal Herald.Mr.Thomas White, of the Montreal Gazette, the retiring President, was unanimously elected Honorary Pre sident, and ex-officio member of the Council.The fourth estate then pro ceeded to the question of supplies, which, alter an amusing burlesque of the oratory and forms of Parliament, was settled with much unanimity.By the way, it is curious to notice the regularity with which each session sees one or more of the occupants of the press-gallery leaving it for the floor of the House\u2014for better or tor worse that is an open question\u2014but perhaps the House does not suffer.Mr.Desaulniers is the missing man this rime.Bouteloup] godfather to Antoinette, was strongly against the marriage of An-toinette to the Marquis of Presle, and is continually bringing the matter up, thereby causing great annoyance to M.Poirier _lhe father], who married his daughter, as he acknowledges, to satisfy his

hotly contested over the whole course between Maritime and Inspiration, the latter winning in fine style.Maritime 2nd, Warrior a good 3rd.The fourth was for a trotting purse of $125, for horses wintered in Canada, that have never beaten 2.50; mile heats ; three m five; first horse, $100; second, $25.Entries\u2014Maud Edgarton (black m.),owned by Richard Hornby, Strathroy, and J.F., formerly Bob Moore, owned by Thomas Kerwin, Toronto; won by J.F.; Maud Edgarton second.The weather was very cold and uncomfortable throughout, but the track being in excellent condition the racing was of a fair order, and gave general satisfaction.The crowd in attendance numbered about 3,000.ATHLETICS.Toronto, J,me 5.\u2014Messrs.H.E.Suckling and W.T.Arthurs will be the representatives of the Toronto

road to Epsom was less than in previous years, but more persons went by rail.The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, Prince Christian, and a large party went down by a special train.The race was run at a good pace throughout.PrisciUian and the Gamant led half the way, when Sefton took up the running and came in to the straight, with the race well in hand, he kept the advantage to the finish, and won easily by a length and u\"haif.The distance between Insulaire audChilderic was the same.Topaz was fourth, Thuriefifth and Sir Joseph ninth.PrisciUian fell at the turn, breaking the collar-bone.of Jeffrey, his jockey, but not interfering with the prospect of any of the favorites.The time of the race was 2 minutes and 56 seconds.The betting at the start was 10 io 8 against Insulaire, 4 to 1 against Bonnie Scotland, 6 to l each against Thurio and Sir Joseph, and 9 to 1 against Sefton.Immediately after the race rain began to fall heavily.The course was rather sticky, and, although there was about the usual crowd on the heath, the mud and rain rendered the day unpleasant.AMERICAN TURF.» OF?' ^ \u2019S is o: T O - D A.Y June C 134 BOSSANGE & GARDINER,

former for the defendants, of whose business he was Manager.According to the evidence in the proceedings before the Police Court against Osborne, no account of this money appeared in the books of defendant.The Canadian Branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club had intended to take the opportunity of the presence of His Excellency the Governor-General in this city on the Queen\u2019s

duties devolving on His Excellency on that day, however, prevented the possibility of the presentation taking place during that visit.His Excellency has since that time been pleased to signify his acceptance of the presentation to-morrow evening (Friday, 7th instant), on hoard the Quebec Steamer, previous to his departure for Quebec.All members of the Branch are cordially invited to he present

underthe direction of M.Couture.CIVIC AFFAIRS.The St.James Street Carters.\u2014 Judgment has been given by the Hon.Mr.Justice Johnson in the case of Rinahan vs.Geriken, dismissing the action with costs, and for the following reasons:\u2014The plaintiff is a carter, acting for himself and others, and is stationed on the footpath ia front of the St.Lawrence Hall to solicit patronage for his fellows on the stand at Place d\u2019Armes, and was arrested at the instance of defendant, who is proprietor or the hotel, convicted and fined in the Recorder\u2019s Court on the charge of loitering.Plaintiff sued for damages tor false arrest; but notwithstanding that he had permission from the Chief of Police to stand as he did in front of the hotel, and that his conviction under such circumstances is held to have been a hardship, yet this suit is dismissed, because there is no possibility of proving, in the face of a conviction, a want of reasonable and probable cause, and of malice behind that conviction.Brevities.\u2014The asphalte paving in St.James street is being repaired.The re- ceipts at the Recorder\u2019s Court for the past month amounted to $756.DI In the

boarding-house keeper.Commissioner street, and her servant, Honorine Ouellette, for cruelty to a dog, the property of Mr.Win.Beaufoy, saloon keeper, of 443 Commissioners street.The animal is a fine cocker spaniel slut, valued at $50, and has two puppies which have been sold for $25 each.In the course of her wanderings about the street it appears that she ran into the adjoining yard, and thence into the Htehen, and stole a piece of pie.Both the females saw the act committed, and the mistress angrily told the girl to throw a dipper of scalding water on the animal.She obeyed with alacrity, and the poor animal ran home piteously moaning from the effects of severe scalds on the side, back and stomach.In several places the skin was peeled off, b it it is believed the animal will recover.His Honour compelled the servant to pay $5, and her mia- ul n- ^___________\t;e Society.There was an excellent, aytæud-ance, being about equally divided between the sexes.Every seat was

consisted of vocal ard musical selections, and addresses by the Chairman, by the Rev.C.A.Doudiet, and Grand Chaplain, Rev.L.N.Beauary, and the Rev.C.Chiniquy.During the evening a beautiful crimson silk flag, suitably inscribed, was presented to the Order in this city by the ladies of Montreal as a mark of esteem at their manly courage during the recent troubles.The County Master responded in a neat speech.The concert was concluded shortly after 10 o\u2019clock.The police were well and wisely distributed, and up to midnight no disturbances were heard of as having taken place.The Funeral of the Late Hon.Mr.Justice Wilfred Dorion took place yesterday morning from his late residence, St.Denis'street, thence to St.James\u2019 Church and the Cote des Neiges Cemetery.The solemn cortege which

GF.NSRAL MEETING.The third anuuil general meeting of the Consolidated Bank of Canada was held yesterday in the Banking House, Place D\u2019Armes, at noon.Among the Stockholders present there were Sir Francis Hincks, the President of the Bank, in the Chair ; Hon.John Hamilton, Hon.Alexander Campbell and Messrs.R.G.Reekie, John Rankin, W.W.Ogilvie, D.Galbraith, John Grant, Wm.Thompson, H.Mackay, R.Anderson, Joseph Whyte, W.Nivin, C.G.Hill, D.R.Stoddart, J# H.R.Molson, \u2014 Thomas, G.Henry (Quebec Branch), R.Wood, Thomas Wilson, A.St.Denis and S.Waddell.The meeting having been called to order, It was moved by Sir Francis Hincks, and seconded by Mr.John Grant: \u201cThat Messi-s.Thomas Wilson and William Niven be named Scrutineers to receive the votes of the Shareholders for the election of Directors, and that Mr.G.H.Wethey be the Secretary of this meeting.\u201d\u2014Carried.The Chairman then submitted and read the following report.The Directors submit a statement qf the result of the business of the Bank at the close of the financial year, viz.:\u2014 Balance at credit of Profit and Loss Account, 10th May, 1877 .Profits for the year ended 10th May, 1878, after deducting expenses of management and interest paid, and making provision for Losses.285,059.49 $ 13,723 33 Appropriated : \u2014 Interest reserved $ 63,653.25 Dividend 1st Deember, 1877.121,315.18 Dividend 1st June, 1878.104,020 60 $298,782.82 $288,989.03 $\t9,793.79 The year just closed has been marked by great depression in business, and the losses have consequently been heavy.In order to make full provision for these, the Directors regret that they have been obliged to reduce the dividend for the last half year to three per cent ; the return for th® whole year being six and a half per cent.They are confident, however, that the Shareholders will confirm their action in paying the losses of the year out of the profits, leaving the revenue unimpaired.Three of the Directors, to whom it is hoped a fourth will now be added, are residents of Toronto, and now constitute, without additional expense, the Local Board of Ontario, under the provisions of the charter ; the benefit to the Bank of having members on the Board, intimately associated with the business of Western Canada, is deemed of much importance.The General Statement shows a considerable increase in deposits and circulation.The Directors have pleasure in reporting that the anticipations in last year\u2019s report, of a large reduction in expenses, have been realized.(Signed), P.Hincks, President.value ; that jt was not at present worth what they might have anticipated.But he would ask the intelligent body of gentlemen present whether other kinds of investments were more profitable than Bank stocks ?He would ask those who have their money invested in real estate whether the results of that investment are more profitable! than in stocks ?He would further ask the gentlemen present to look around on their commercial enterprises and see whether they are more profitable ?For his own part, his opinion was that he bad much more reason to congratulate them that things were no worse than they are than to complain with them, as he had to do at the decreased dividend which the Directors have to offer.He asked them to look around at the universal depression, not only in this country and in the United States, but in other countries, and see what the state of things are ?He was pretty well advanced in life, but he did not recollect any great depression lasting for such a length of time as the present one.Not only throughout this country and the United States did it exist, hut throughout the whole continent of Europe.In England, especially in the cotton districts, in the iron trade, and in every branch of industry.In this country there was some cause for congratulation\u2014a large and increasing portion of our population are engaged in agricultural pursuits, and in their occupation there has been no depression ; and, fortunately, within the last few years, we have been opening out large tracts of arable land, where large numbers of people have settled, by this means taking off a good deal of our surplus or unemployed population, so that he did not think, taking everything into consideration, Canadians have any great cause for despondency; for, although they were not yet able to say that the tide has turned, we might reasonably hope that we had seen the worst.They had also, as a Bank, cause for congratulation.The circulation and deposits have increased, the earnings for the year are in excess of the preceding one, and the expenses have been considerably reduced ; and, had it not been for the losses caused by this depression, and from which other institutions of the same character had also suffered, a good dividend would have been paid.In reference to the business of the Bank, he might say that it is the earnest desire of the Directors to pursue a strictly conservative policy, and in this connection he had great satisfaction in referring to the cordial co-operation and unity of feeling existing between them and the Western Board at Toronto, three of whose members were present at the meeting that day.With these few remarks he proposed the adoption of the report, which Mr.Anderson would he good enough to second.Mr.R.Anderson, in seconding the adoption of the report, said he thought none of the shareholders could have any reasonable feelings of objection to the adoption of the report, and that it was certainly as good as could be expected in the present depression of trade.Mr.Wood desired to suggest that, in future, the statement of account be furnished the stockholders a day or two before the meeting takes place, so that they might be acquainted with the circumstances they are called upon to enquire into.The Chairman explained that some steps were taken in that direction, and that the statements were distributed pretty extensively.It was distributed to all the members of the Stock Exchange.He would just observe that it is very difficult to undertake to send copies to all the stockholders of the Bank, but any gentleman might understand that it is always printed a week beforehand, and, if a special application was made for a copy, it would always be attended to.He hardly thought it necessary to send copies

by Sir Francis Hincks, seconded by Mr.R.Anderson, that the report, now read, be adopted and printed for distribution among the shareholders.In making this motion, he des red to accompany it with a few remarks.He had no reason to suppose, after the period i ;af, out the i of depression they had just passed | meeting, and through, that any of them could anticipate a very satisfactory report, and yet, he could assure them that it was a painful duty for those placed in the position of having charge of the management-of an institution like the present to meet their shareholders with an unsatisfactory report.At the same time, he thought that the impressions made on his own mind might possibly occur to some of them.They felt, and he felt, no doubt, regret that their property should have depreciated in its market A large and influential meeting of the l the inhabitants of the County of Miss-isquoi, interested iu the completion of the Montreal, Portland & Boston Railway, was held at Stanbridge East, on the 25th ult., for the purpose of considering the action of the Government of the Province of Quebec, and the late acts of the Passumpsic Railway Company, in endeavouring to take possession of a portion of the Montreal, Portland & Boston Railway.Mr.H.N.Whitman was called to the chair, and E.E.Spencer appointed Secretary of the meeting, Explanations having been made as to the objects of the meeting, and various other matters connected with the railway, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :\u2014 Resolved\u2014That the extraordinary and unprecedeuted action of the Passumpsic Railway Company in their attempt to take forcible possession of that portion of the Montreal, Portland & Boston Railway, from West Farnham to St.Lambert, was an attempt to frustrate the intentions of the Municipalities and Shareholders, and also of the Legislature, in their efforts to comp ete the railway to the Province line, and thus open up an independent through line from the great commercial centre of the Dominion to the Atlantic Seaboard.Resolved\u2014That the attempt of a foreign Railway Company to take possession of a portion of the Montreal, Portland & Boston Railway with the evident intention of preventing its completion through the County of Missisquoi as originally contemplated, is viewed by us with alarm, and regarded as a deliberate blow aimed at the rights of not only the citizens of this county, but of the country at large, and as such demands our unqualified condemnation, and the prompt action of the Government in protecting us from serious loss, and deprivation of Railway communication with the other portions of the Province.Resolved\u2014That this meeting approves of the measures prayed for, and the basis of legislation recommended in a petition lately presented to the Government of the Province of Quebec, in regard to the Montreal, Portland & Boston Railway.Resolved\u2014That this meeting has learned with great satisfaction of the prompt action of the Government in taking the preliminary steps towards assuming possession of the Montreal, Pbrtland & Boston Railway, in response to the prayer of the petition of the Shareholders and others interested in the said Railway.Resolved\u2014That the thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby tendered to Mr.Ashly Hibbard for his exertions to defeat the designs of the Passumpsic Railway Company, and in promoting the interests of the Montreal, Portland & Boston Railway.That a Committee of three be ap-I pointed to act with Mr.Hibbard in carry-intentions and wishes of the and to take charge of and procure the necessary legislation for reorganizing the Company.Resolved\u2014That the aforesaid Committee do consist of Mr.E.Cornell ; Dr.N.A.Smith, and Mr.A.S.Spencer.Resolved\u2014That a copy of the above resolutions be transmitted to the Hon.the Provincial Secratary of Quebec, The Monteeal Herald, The Bedford Times, and The Cowansville Observer, After a vote of thanks to the Ghair-man and the Secretary, the meeting adjourned.CANADIAN COTTON MANUFACTURE.We) read in the Dundas Banner that \u201c our\u2019 Dundaa Cotton Factory employs four hundred hands, and pays out over 53,000 every two weeks in wages.\u201d This speaks well of the beneficial results of our moderately protective tariff, as compared with the utterly prostrate condition of the Fall River (Mass.) factories, brought about by the extreme protection policy of the United States.\u2014Ibid.DR.TUPPER.It would be a terrible blow to the Opposition if, in his eagerness to make party capital against the Government, while on his starring tour in the Maritime Provinces, Dr.Tapper should launch out into one of his protective speeches.The doctor was formerly a free-trader himself, and ;the people of the Maritime Provinces are all pretty much of that way of thinking.Somebody should be deputed by the Tory party to stand behind him, ready to pull his coat-tails the moment he showed signs of launching oat into a protective speech.\u2014Toronto Telegraph.MR.TURCOTTE.The Mail quotes from a letter of Mr.Turcotte, of Three Rivers, in which he writes :\u2014\u201c My past conduct is the best guarantee of my future conduct in the House,\u201d as an evidence that he is bound to support the Conservative party.It is only a few days since the same journal brought a most infamous charge of bribery against Mr.Turcotte, alleging that he had been bought up by Mr.July\u2019s Government.However, tlie Mall is welcome to Mr.Turcotte\u2019s \u201c past conduct \u201d as a gentleman of the future.In the last cession under the de Boucherville regime, Mr.Turcotte voted want of confidence in the late Government on four different occasions, and himself seconded a motion to abolish the Legislative Council.He declared himself in favour of every plank in Mr.Joly's political platform, and could not now oppose the policy of the new Ministry without the grossest inconsistency.We have confidence that Mr.Turcotte will prove himself superior to either the abuse, threats, blandishments or supputions of a party with which he has nothing in common, and from connection with which he can gain nothing in creditor reputation.\u2014Ottawa Free Press.THE DEMORALIZED OPPOSITION.Tne St.John Freeman, owned by Speaker Anglin, has been quoted by the Tory press as a fair-minded critic.Iu its review of the late session the Freeman says :\t\u201c The whole history of the ses- \u201c sion just closed proves this\u2014proves \u201c that the leaders of the Opposition \u201c were desperate, reckless men, who had \u201c lost all hope of again controlling the \u201c destinies of the country, and who in \u201c their despair forgot how to control \u201c themselves so as to pay due regard \u201c even to the position they now hold.\u201d Referring to the boasted tact of the Opposition leader, the Freeman points out how egregious-ly he blundered on the first day of the session in inviting a vote upon the Speakership ; how he, with Tapper and Masson, condemned the extension of the Canada Central to Lake Nipissing, and when the vote was being taken absented themselves from the House, leaving the rank and file of their followers disorganized.The Freeman goes on: \u201cThey \u201c wasted several day s\u2014not once,but many \u201c times\u2014setting up their men to talk \u201c against time, for no purpose that any \u201c one was ever able to discover.They \u201c refused to have a Parliamentary en-\u201c quiry in the House of Gommons into \u201c any of the many charges they made \u201c against the Government during the re-\u201c cess, and they did prosecute enquiries \u201c before Committees of the Senate, in \u201c which body the majority are extreme \u201c Tory partizans, and the result was that \u201c in the Kaministiquia land affair, and \u201c in all else the conduct of Mr.Mac-\u201c kenzie,* who was the person chiefly as-\u201c sailed, was proved to be honest, hon-\u201c curable and entirely above reproach.\u201d The utter hopelessness of the Opposition prospects was, in the opinion of the Freeman, the main cause of the disgraceful exhibitions which the leaders of the party and their followers indulged in during the session.It says : \u201c The dreadful scene at the closing \u201c would never have been enacted if the \u201c leaders of the Opposition, who used \u201c such shameful language and such vio-\u201c lent gestures, had the least hope that \u201c they would obtain a majority in the \u201c elections.If they ever really enter-\u201c tained such a hope, it was utterly de-\u201c stroyed by the result of the Quebec \u201c elections ; and, indeed, from that \u201c day the demeanor of the leader of \u201c the Opposition changed greatly for \u201c the worst.In Quebec it is now evi-\u201c dent the Liberals will win at \u201c least as many seats as they \u201c now hold in the House of \u201c Commons.The probability is that \u201c they will gain considerably.The.cer-\u201c tainty is that they will lose none.In \u201c this Province they have little chance \u201c of gaining a single seat, and there is \u201creason to hope that the Liberals will \u201c make some gain.In Nova Scotia and \u201c Prince Edward .Island t here will be no \u201cmaterial change, and if, of the ten \u201c constituencies in Manitoba and British \u201c Columbia, the Tor es carry eight, they \u201c will have added nothing to their \u201c strength, as they hold that number n \u201c the Parliament now about to expire.\u201c It is the consciousness of all this that \u201c rendered the leaders of the Opposition \u201c so reckless as they became towards the \u201c end of the late session\u2014.that, and the \u201cfeeling that they had lost ground \u201c throughout the whole session, and that \u201c their numberless blunders and failures \u201c destroyed much of their strength they \u201c had in the country even a year ago.\u201d INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.\u2014As a sign of the truth of the Tory assertion that manufacturerers are languishing in Ontario, we notice that a starch factory is proposed in Norwich village.An oatmeal factory is to be erected in Otterville.The Gibson Manufacturing Co., Mitchell, is sending one of their safes to Jamaica.A joint stock company has been formed in Howick, under the name of the \u201cPeople\u2019s Cheese and Butter Factory,\u201d to make these articles.\u2014The Maritime, a journal devoted to trade and commerce, published in Halifax (N.S.), says : \u201c We found last week on a flying visit to the Canada Steel Company\u2019s Works everything there in a highly flourishing and encouraging condition, every ton of pig-iron on its pig-bank is sold, and the rolling mill is full of orders for their excellent merchant bar iron ; they have lately completed a large contract with the Grand Trunk Railway.The quality of their iron holds fully its own, being equal to Lowmoor, which is recognized as the best brand in the world.They employ now over 500 men, and have purchased the Molson Rolling Mill of Montreal.\u201d Does this 1 >ok like a languishing industry ?\u2014Mr.Rymal thoroughly understands the arrant humbug and hypocrisy of Sir John\u2019s professed devotion to the Protectionist theory.Referring, in a recently delivered speech, to the Tory leader\u2019s inconsistency, he pointed out that at one time he was a Free-Trader, at another a Protectionist\u2014just as the wind blew.In 1866 he put a tax on wheat, flour and meal, and called it a great boon.Then, after two years\u2019 trial he took it off and called it another great boon.(Laughter.) At the end of four years more be put it on again, and baptizing it the \u201c National Policy,\u201d said it was still another great boon.(Loud Laughter.) Bat it was born out of due time, and at the end of eleven months was strangled by those who had given it birth, and this was called yet another great boon.(Roars of l iuo liter.) He was then the lender of a Government.Now he is in Opposition, and being very hungry, is very anxious to confer more \u201c great boons.(Renewed laughter.) \u2014A Philadelphia paper says :\u2014 \u201c While there exists in this county a \u201c Oommunistic element which, if its \u201c power be extended, may become a se-\u201c rious factor in the preservation of pub-\u201c lie order, there are at the same time \u201c honest men, suffering from want of \u201c the necessaries of life, who look the \u201c situation calmly in the face, and de-\u201c precate acts of violence.The condi-\u201c tion of the workingman was never as \u201c bad as now.Men who are competent \u201c to judge estimate the number out of \u201c employment in the anthracite coal re-\u201c gion at fully one-third more than a year \u201c ago.The shipm nts of coal last year \u201c for the entire region were 21,000,000 \u201c tons ; this year they have been only \u201c 15,000,000.Out of the 12 iron mills \u201c and furnaces in Schuylkill County only \u201c two are in operation,and one of these is run on short time.There are hundreds of men who pay no rents.Nearly all the store-keepers have been sold out at \u201c sheriff's sales.Small deposit banks \u201c have failed.In the valley of theGata-wissa, Schuylkill County, it is said \u201c that all the farmers except one have sold \u201c out.Sheriff\u2019s sales are made up of \u201c miner\u2019s houses which bad been partly \u201c paid for ; at a recent term 150 were on \u201c the list.\u201d On this the Hamilton Times remarks :\u2014\u201c Mr.Glen, the manager of the Joseph Hall manufacturing works, of Oshawa, in his speech accepting the nomination for South Ontario, stated that as a manufacturer he was prepared iu this contest to defend the policy of the present Government as being wise, equitable and j ust towards those who are engaged in manufacturing.Such testimony as this is worth more than all the windy assertions of the Tory press and leaders on the beauties of Protection.BY PROXY.BY JAMES PAYN, AUTHOR OF \u201c WON\u2014NOT WOOED, ON HORSEBACK,\u201d &C.\u2018 A BEaOAR \u201c Robespierre had a brother, who wept when he was guillotined,\u201d answered Mrs.Conway.\u201c And, besides, Raymond mourns because it is his duty to do so.\u201d ALL SORTS, \u2014It is expected that dresses in Paris will soon be made of elastic, as nothing else ia found to be sufficiently clinging.\u2014When asked what lie thought of freedom, an African philosopher sagaciously replied: \u201c Well, sir, freedom is a mighty fine thing, but I can\u2019t eat freedom, and I can\u2019t wear freedom, and now I\u2019se got to \u2022export\u2019 myself.\u2019\u2019 \u2014In a celebrated ease now before the courts one of the witnesses declared that the Lord enlarged his vision to enable him t» look through the keyhole and around a corner and see the prisoner mixing poision.That kind of religions faith is a little \u201ccrooked.\u201d\u2014N.Y.Herald.\u2014Old postage stamps are highly prized in China, and a hundred cancelled stamps will buy a baby.Accordingly, the Roman Catholic missionaries are collecting the old stamps and purchasing the infants, whom they bring up as Christians, while the ingenious Orientals arrange their treasures as wall decorations.\u2014Buffalo Express :\u2014\u201c Several exchanges speak in the most indelicate manner of a recent game of baseball in this city, pretending to see lots of fun in it.Now, for heaven\u2019s sake ! what is base ball ?And if there is such a thing as base ball, is it worthy of consideration in view of the gigantic events that are happening every day ?Pooh ! let us have no more ef this childish absurdity.\u201d \u2014A fanciful genius has suggested to the Scientific American that it is now time to celebrate the completion of the first cubic mile of humanity, and gives a calculation to show that the bodies of all mankind, from the first Adam down to the present, if closely packed without diminution of volume, would exactly fill that space ! The aggregate weight of all mankind to date is estimated at 4,212 million tons.\u2014\u201c Extravagance is the cause of hard times,\u201d said a capitalist, yesterday.\u201cWe most be more economical.Ten years ago I commenced working in a mill in Gold Hill at a small salary, and in less than a year I owned the mill and had some money in the bank.\u201d \u201c You are right,\u201d returned a listener, with great earnestness \u201c It is possible for a man to lay up $2,000 or $3,000 a month on a salary of $5 a day, but he must be very economical and have the handling of the amalgam.\u2014Virginia Nevada Enterprise.\u2014Two enraged duellists meet upon the dark and bloody ground.Just as their swords are about to be handed to them the first enraged duellist, in a voice trembling with suppressed bravery, says : \u201cOne of us two must remain on this field.\u201d \u201c You\u2019re talking,\u201d says the second enraged duellist.\u201cAnd it shall be you,\u201d says the first en raged duellist, \u201cfor I\u2019m going.\u201d (Goes with the velocity of a quarter-horse.)\u2014Paris Paper.\u2014They have a Frenchman in New Or leans who plays billiards with his nose.The following account is from the New \u2019 Orleans Democrat :\u2014The crowd was very quiet and were only aroused to enthusiasm when the captain chalked his nose, preparatory to executing a difficult shot.Captain Robert played entirely with his nose, lying at full length upon the table when he made his shots, and as he is rather short and stout it was quite an exhibition of physical strength and endurance if not of skill and science.The entertainment consisted of two games ef 200 points eaeh, and as \u201c the man with the nose \u201d had to jump on the table to make his play and then jump down again, he must, calculating the table to be three feet high, have jumped up and down about 2,400 feet, nearly half a mile, and it was not a very good night for jumping either.The nose-player beat both his opponents and looked fresh and lively at the end of the contest, the only noticeable change in his appearance being a slight redness at the end of his cue.\u2014When Benjamin Disraeli, at the age of thirty, thanked the electors of Taunton for returning him to Parliament, he was very showily attired in a dark bottle-green frock coat, a waistcoat of the most extravagant pattern, the front of which was almost covered with glittering chains, and in fancy pattern pantaloons.He wore a p'ain black stock, but no collar was visible, At the banquet given in the evening, when responding to the complimentary toast just proposed by the chairman, he minced his phrases in the most affected manner, placing his hands in all imaginable positions, apparently forthe purpose of exhibiting to the best advantage the glittering rings which decked his white and taper fingers.Now, he would place his thumbs in the arm-holes of his waistcoat, and spread out his fingers on its flashy surface; then one set of digits would be released, and ho wonld lean affectedly on the table, supporting himself with his right hand ; anon he would push aside the curls from his forehead.\u2014It seems from a paper read the other day before the Society of Arts by Mr.W.H.Preece that the flies which are now becoming so numerous with the increasing warmth have a speech of their own, and are not confined to the irritating buzz with which they have been so long associated.This fly language can be heard with the assistance of the microphone, which magnifies sound and aids the ear as the microscope does the eye.Mr.Preece states that with it he has heard the tramp of a little fly across a box with a tread almost as loud as that of a horse across a wooden bridge.A curious sound accompanied the tramp of the fly, which, it was suggested, was caused by the neighing of its probocsis.It is to be hoped that the flies have not got a habit of repeating all they hear while walking on the ceiling ; if they hare, what disclosures might be made by some scientific eavesdropper with a stray fly imprisoned in a microphone ! In these days of wonderful inventions a fly of the air may carry the matter as well as the proverbial bird.\u2014 Pall Mall Gazette.\u2014Every afternoon there is a great tram uni g of boots heard on the pavements of the principal streets.Every one stops and turns to look.Then comes a great open waggon (a \u201c break \u201d is the proper name), dra wn sometimes by twelve, sometimes by fourteen beautifully matched and superbly formed bright bay horses, tapering in siza from the gigantic wheelers to the leaders, little and light as Arabians, glittering in gold-mounted harness, driven all in hand by one old gray-haired, melancholy man, who sits alone on the lofty box, and handles the great mass of reins with skill, although I observe he never drives faster than a walk, perhaps because the streets are so narrow, winding and crowded.Two liveried servants sit behind and with folded arms, and jump down to hold the cavalcade whenever the driver stops to chastise unmercifully with a little riding whip any unfortunate steed that does not go just to suit him.He and his team are one of the institutions of Florence.He is an American, named Livingston, of New York, but he has lived in Florence for nearly a score of years, and prefers to spend his money in this conspicuous manner.Breeding in\u2014Themore purely-bred and uniform in type our stock becomes, the greater is the danger from breeding in-and-in.That while, as before remarked, it is a powerful agent in the hands of a skillful and intelligent person in the formation of a breed, it must be used with the greatest of caution with thoroughbreds of a uniform type ; and that with miscellaneously-bred stock its evil effects are comparatively slow in showing them-stlves.All intelligent breeders agree in condemning close in-breeding ; but they are not agreed as to what constitutes close in-breeding.May we not, upon the theory herein advanced, base a rule which will safely govern our practice ?With thorcugh-bred stock or well-established breeds, keep as far from in breeding as is compatible with uniformity of typé and purity of blood.In the formation of a breed from heterogeneous materials, use it as the most potent of all agents, without fear of bad results, provided the parents are healthy, vigorous, and well formed, until a considerable de8ree of uniformity has been reached ; bearing in mind the cardinal fact that, in proportion as unity of form and organism is attained, constitutional vigor and fertility is endangered by such a course of breeding.May we not, also, find in this theory an explanation of the well-known fact, that inbred animals which are barren when coupled with eaeh other, frequently prove fruitful when united with individuals of a different breed ?\u2014National Live Stock Journal.It was Nelly\u2019S practice after breakfast to repair to her easel, which stood in a little room Opening from her own bedchamber and dignified by ter mother by the title of \u201c the studio hut this morning she remained below stairs, with a book in her hand\u2014 which she did not read\u2014and with the fatal newspaper upon her knees.She had known Mr.Pennicuick, as a child knows her father\u2019s friend who is not her own friend.She had had a vague dislike and distrust of him, either instinctive, or engendered by her mother\u2019s views of theman.but she had never hated him \u2014 his relationship to Raymond, if not his intimacy with her father, had forbidden that\u2014nor did she fear him, for it was not in her nature to fear.Others there were, however, as she was well aware, who feared him, and, mingled with her horror at what had happened, she experienced a sort of wonder (which would have flattered him, that so masterly a man should so ignobly perish\u2014should have been put to death by such despicable creatures as she understood the Chinese to he.She was still plunged in these conflicting and uncanny thoughts, when a footstep that she well knew was heard @n the flags outside ; the little gate swung hack upon its hinges, pushed by an impatient hand, and then the visitor sprung up the steps of the front door.There was no need for her to look out of the window.It was Raymond Pennicuick\u2014come to tell her of the misfortune that had befallen him.That would have been bad enough, but when sae heard his eager voice inquiring whether they were at home, she knew that a worse thing awaited her.He did not as yet know what had happened, and she would have to tell him.Her mother from the next apartment heard him likewise, and drew the same conclusion.It was hard on her daughter that she should be left to break such news, but he felt herself to be physically unequal to such a task, or even to move from her present position.There was nothing for her hut to lie where she was \u2014and listen ; for every word spoken aloud in the next room was audible.\u201cWhy, Nelly dear, this is a happy chance! I thought by this hour you would have been engaged on some immortal work up-stairs, and that the greatest interest would he necessary to gain speech with you.But what is the matter ?\u201d Nothing, Ray\u2014at least there is \u201c she cast her eyes down at the newspaper, in hepes that he would guess that it was there her sorrow lay ; hut he quite misunderstood the cause of her gravity.\u201d \u201c I am afraid you are still annoyed with me, Nelly; you are apprehensive I shall resume the subject upon which I spoke to you last week.You need not fear it.I have written to my father to express my fixed intentions regarding you.I have said my happiness is only to be found in your love ; but, in the meantime, we are to he as brother and sister.Is it not so ?He spoke with such volubility that she had not the power to interrupt him.The very pitifulness in her sweet face doubtless led him on.\u201cYou must not reckon upon your father, dear Raymond,\u201d she faltered out, \u201c for anything ; for, alas ! you have no father.\u201d \u201c Ah, that comes from your mother\u2019s view of him, replied he, impatiently.\u201c She thinks the governor an unnatural parent, which would be rather hard lines upon him if he were affected by it.She believes he thinks too much of No.1 ; hut who doesn\u2019t ?He has, no doubt, a will of his own ; but it is not immutable ; and if anybody can move it, it will be surely you.I think if he saw you pleading for us\u2014\u201d \u201c You do not understand, dear Raymond.Your father will never see either of us again ; at least, if this report be true\u2014which may not be the case \u201d\u2014here she put the newspaper into his hand.\u201c There is still a hope that it may be mere rumour ; and the Chinese news\u2014\u201d \u201c Good God !\u201d exclaimed Raymond, in alow, suppressed tone.Ho had read the telegram, and stood like on e trans fixed.\u201c My poor, poor father !\u201d Nelly had run to the sideboard, and from the cellaret produced a glass of sherry.£ome girls would have sought to have comforted their lover in another way, and dearly would she have liked u> do so, hut would not that have been to take advantage of him for her own benefit?She could let him see how sorry she was for him without that.\u201c Theie is no telegraph, Raymond, from Shanghai whence this report has come to Hong-Kong ; there is an error as to your father\u2019s name and profession, and the whole thing may be, therefore, a mistake.\u201d She did not think it was, but she knew that such an idea would help to break the blow to him.\u201c It is possible,\u201d said Raymond, slowly ; \u201c yet I feel the news is true.What does your mother think about it?I should have more confidence in her judgment than in my own in such a case.\u201d Why they still stood together, hut not touching one another\u2014he had put his arm half round her waist and then withdrawn it, because to be happy at such a moment seemed a sin to him\u2014Mrs.Conway entered.\u201c This is a had blow to you, my dear Raymond,\u201d said she, softly.He took her hand, but without his usual cordiality.Though he had expressed a wish for her opinion, her presence was, in fact, unwelcome to him, for had she not been his father\u2019s foe ?U I feel it, Mrs.Gonway, very deeply.\u201d \u201c I am sure you do, because you are a good son.\u201d She felt she was paying a compliment to him at the expense of the dead man ; hut she could think of nothing more appropriate to say ; she was a woman who never told a lie to mitigate matters, though she had, at least on one occasion in her life, omitted for that reason to tell the truth.\u201cYou have nothing to reproach yourself with for your conduct to your father, which is what few sons can say.\u201d \u201c I am thinking of him, and not of myself,\u201d replied Raymond, coldly.\u201c What is your opinion about this telegram ?Do you think it is really true ?\u201d \u201c I am afraid it is so.At least, I have no reason to doubt it.\u201d \u201c But the thing may be exaggerated.My father may have got into trouble with the natives, and be in prison, and yet not\u2014\u201d He hesitated\u2014he could not say, \u201c and yet not dead.\u201d \u2018 The telegram says, \u2018 His companion has arrived at Shanghai,\u2019 \u201d observed Mrs.Conway, gravely.\u201c My husband would never have left him in such a plight as you suggest.\u201d There was neither pride nor affection in her tone; hut she spoke as one who is stating an undeniable fact ; and yet she seemed to repent of having even thus far borne witness to her husband\u2019s virtues, for she added, significantly, \u201c No one ever accused Arthur Conway of not sticking to his friends.\u201d Nelly knew very well that this remark had a suppressed antithesis with respect to her mother herself, and she showed her consciousness of it oy a pained look.Raymond only understood that a hope had been rudely dispelled.\u201c I think I will go home,\u201d said he, rising slowly from his seat.\t\u2019 \u201c I should have thought you would have found more comfort here, Raymond,among your old friends, at a time like this,\u201d obseived Mrs.Conway, reproachfully, \u201c thaa in your solitary chambers.\u201d Raymond shook his head, and, looking mechanically toward Nelly, answered, sadly, You are right, Mrs.Conway ; hut I am right too.I shall go hack to town, and telegraph to Hong-Kong at once for confirmation or otherwise of this evil news.In the mean time, God bless you both !\u201d He shook hands cordially with the women, and in the same way with each.There was a lingering pressure of the fingers (usual with him in Nelly\u2019s case), that is the hall-mark of Love, and distinguishes it from that other precious metal, Friendship ; but his thoughts were (or he strove his best to keep them [To be continued.)
