good investments have-risen, and there has been much speculative excitement in American railways, in consequence of the rapid advance of these securities in New York.British Railways, owing to the falling off in traffic caused by the continued severe weather and depression of trade, have been very dull.Russian, Turkish, and Egyptian Government securities are greatly depressed.Gas property continues to improve, which is reassuring to holders of such stock.Money has been abundant.Bank bills are quoted at 2| per cent, discount and trade bills at 3 /@ 3£ per cent.Consols to-day are J lower at 95| for both money and account.In Paris Five per cent.Rentes are at 113f.97lc.There is no change in the local money market.Sterling Exchange is nominally quoted at 81 for round amounts of 60-day bills between banks and 9 for counter transactions ; in New York there is an advance of 3, the posted rates being $4.86 for 60-days and $4.89 for demand, but the movement is not reflected here, and the market is perfectly inanimate.Drafts on New York are dull at par.Stocks to-day were again in a very unsatisfactory condition; the market opened weak, and there was a serious decline in most bank stocks, partly caused by rumours of financial difficulties in the W est, which as yet have no confirmation, but which were readily taken advantage of by the \u201c bears.\u201d Bank of Montreal sold in the morning at 128 and 127£, and at the afternoon board fell to I26J, closing at 126 (3) 126J;

but the losses were $1,724,000 less in 1878 than in 1877.The total income of the 85 companies in 1878 was $21,097,468, as against $22,412,-971 for 89 companies in 1877 ; and the total expenditure in 1878, $19,590,962, as against $21,868,127 in 1877.As compared with a year ago\u2014and entirely owing to a lighter loss ratio\u2014the showing, on the whole, is in the direction of gain rather than loss.Now, only 26 companies report a loss in surplus by the year\u2019s transactions, as against nearly 80 a year ago, and 63 companies shown gain in surplus, which only about a dozen could do at the end of 1877.If the recent local fires, however, had occurred before December or ^ ^\u2018ie sums lost by them were now charged up against the surplus account, the exhibit would work considerable change, and put some, who figure as gainers, in the column of surplus losers.But upon this subject, and certain other topics suëëesled by the tables, we shall have more to say hereafter.\u2014V.Y.Commercial Bulletin.WINTER PORK PACKING.The past week has maintained liberal receipts of hogs at Chicago and Milwaukee, and fairly so at St.Louis, while there has been a diminished supply at Cincinnati and Indianapolis.For the six large cities the aggregate packing for the week foots up 330,000 head, or 130,000 less than the previous week, and 10,000 more than corresponding week last year.The movement of hogs the past two weeks has exceeded in number the expectations of most operators, and in the face of this has developed one of the most remarkable advances in the trade for some years.Special reports to the Cincinnati Price Current show the number of hogs packed from November 1 to date and latest mail dates, at the undermentioned places, as follows:\u2014 Nov.1 to Jan.22.\t1878-9.\t1877-8.Cincinnati.556,000\t500,000 Chicago.2,300,000\t1,645,000 kb Boms.525,000\t375,000 Indianapolis.^.394,000\t195,000 Milwaukee.370,000\t220,000 Louisville.190,000\t270,000 New York, Jan.28, noon.\u2014Receints -Flour, 9,693 brls;

but we abridge very materially, and proceed, without further indication of the source from whence we draw.During the first half of this century the growth of the cotton manufacture in England was extremely rapid.In 1850 that country had 20,-000,000 spindles.In 1860, more surprising still, she had 30,000,000.Since that the increase has been much slower, the spindles in operation being now only 39,000,000.The consumption of raw cotton in 1878 was 20 per cent, more than in 1860; but, for the whole term from 1860 to 1878, the average increase has not been more than 41- per cent.over that from 1856 to 1860.This, therefore, is comparative stagnation, but the world does not absorb even this moderately increased production, as enormous stocks of manufactured goods have accumulated, till at last from 25 to 30 per cent, of the machinery is standing still.Probably no more cotton could be sold than was sold twenty years ago.The cause is mainly to be found in the progress made by other nations, formerly customers of England, in supplying themselves.Especially a new era has occurred in the trade with the United States.During the war, the Americans imported enormously, and paid largely m bonds.In five years the aggregate balance of imports over exports was £110,000,000.But adversity checked extravagance, and enforced industry.The balance of exports over imports is AIDITOR ROBB AND TEE RAIL WAÎ APPROPRIATIONS.Major Barnjum, in reply, stated that it had always been his desire to promote school military traiuinsc, and it gave him a greatideal of pleasure to see before him, on this occasion, members of the Garrison Artillery, Prince of Wales, Victorias and Sixth Fusiliers, who had been formerly in the ranks of High School Cadets.He looked back with pleasure and pride when he had his late lamented friend, G.C.Brydges, as Captain of No.1, and his friend here, Major E.L.Bond, as Captain of No.2 H.S.Cadets, who were then well known throughout Canada, and, in point of discipline and drill, could compare with any regulars in the country.He had always won the esteem of the boys under his charge, as evidenced by a former valuable present by members of the present High School Cadets, who had honoured him this evening with their presence.He was much gratified by this kindly remembrance of him.It would serve to remind him that his efforts were appreciated on this the happiest event of his life.He would also thank them for their good wishes on behalf of Mrs.Barnjum.During the time Major Bond was speaking, the testimonial to Major Barnjum, a handsome silver tea service was carried in and placed on the platform by Messrs.Fenwick and Fair.On the tray was the following inscription :\u2014 SATURDAY, THE I5TH OF FEBRUARY.In order to avoid inconvenience and fatigue to Ladies who propose to attend, it is suggested that all persons whose names commence with the initial letters A to L inclusive, should be presented on the First;Day, and those from M to Z inclusive, on the Fifteenth of February, By Command, E.G.P.LITTLETON, Lieut.-Coh, Governor-General\u2019s Military Secretary.Government House, __ 7 ALDERMAN HOOD.The representative of St.Antoine Ward evidently basa very low estimate of the intelligence of half of the number of the gentlemen who sit in the Council Chamber of the city.Alderman Hood, however, knowing all the circumstances, may be correct.It did seem odd that so many of the Aldermen should be so ignorant of the position of the Brennan street affair, and the §120,000 expenditure.We need not, therefore, wonder at so severe a conclusion.\u201c Presented to Major F.S.Barujum by past members of the High School Cadets on the occasion of his marriage, and in commemoration of his services to the country in organizing School Military Training.Montreal.December 31, 1878.The second part of the programme was next taken up and gone through with in good style, the pleasant evening coming to a close with the singing of the National Anthem.AMUSEMENTS.Some weeks ago Alderman Laurent moved for a vote of censure on the course Auditor Robb had taken in charging the cost of opening Brennan street, but the Council, very properly, voted the motion down, until the charge had been investigated by a Committee which was appointed, and the Aide-man who made the charge was named Chair man.The facts of the case were recited in our issue of yesterday, and need not be repeated here.Mr.Laurent had a very plain and clear duty to perform, having made the charge against Mr.Robb of violating the law regarding expenditures to be taken out of the Railway Loan, and that duty was to call the Committee-together at once, having been given the opportunity of making his assertions >.ood.Up till the present mo_ ment no meeting has taken place, though, we understand, repeated efforts have been made by several of its members to induce Alderman Laurent to convene the members.This treatment is by no means fair to the City Auditor, and we are not astonished to find that gentleman presenting the facts of the ease to the Council.The statement he makes is clear and business-like, one which any ordinary mortal can easily understand, and we dare say Aider-man Laurent, finding that the facts were all against him, attempted to shift his ground and take refuge in the City Attorney; but the Council, to their credit, insisted on an investigation, which, we think, the City Auditor fairly entitled to.In our judgment, Mr.Robb could not have done other than he has, and, after all, it is a mere matter of book-keeping, tho art of which is at least quite as well understood by the City Auditor as Alderman Laurent.The amount (§56,657)' paid for opening Brennan street had to be brought down to the debit of some account, which might have been named anything for the sake of classification, until legislation was had to make the Railway Loan» When the latter was floated, the cost of making the line was placed against that account, as it was Mr.Robb\u2019s duty to do.Even supposing that a mistake had been made, it is no credit to the LILIPUTIAN OPERA COMPANY.This unique troupe of operatic artists will open at the Academy of Music, on Thursday evening.Their success all th sough the Eastern cities has been exceedingly great.The Albany Aryws of 25th describes their entertainment as follows : \u2014 \u201c The Liliputian Opera Company made their re-entree after several months\u2019 absence, at Martin Opera House last evening, the audience welcoming them being large and highly appreciative.The story of \u2018 Jack the Giant Killer,\u2019 has been charmingly set to music for the company of \u2018 little ones.\u2019 The legend is not only prettily and amusingly told, but it is pleasingly and gracefully interpreted.From first to last everything goes off with praiseworthy precision, and yet with a certain spontaniety that brings the story fairly into realism so perfectly is all accomplished.To watch them is like conning the pages of a fairy book, plucking the fantastic images from between the leaves and standing them as flesh and blood before us.Admiral Dot is the Jack.His conception of the giant slayer is extremely creditable, and his grasp of the humorous is as great as the magnitude of Finn Ma Coon.He treads the stage like a thorough actor, never misses a point for effective acting, and in his specialities may be called \u2018immense.\u2019 Miss Jennie Quigley represents Jennie, Jack\u2019s affianced.A dainty, handsome little lady, she wins all hearts by her naive and coquettish ways.Her singing is a notable feature of the performance and never fails to win the warmest approbation.Miss Sarah Belton is an admirable Gertrude, and gives valuable aid to the completeness of the entertainment.Bewitchingly handsome is Miss Ella Kirtland, who is just as good as she is pretty and a very conscientious little actress.Prince Louis makes a praiseworthy Ulric, and Major Horton as the old woman\u2014well, the Major could not be improved upon.Gen.Totman, a new addition to the Company, immediately won the favour of the audience, and above all Col.Orr towered as the giant to the life.There are many amusing things in the operetta.Miss Quigley, for instance, singing \u2018 Baby Mine\u2019 over Col.Orr, and all the specialties are extremely commendable.The performance concluded with the laughable farce \u2018 Toadies,\u2019 with Admiral Dot and Miss Quigley as Mr.and Mrs.Toadies.Its production was mirth-provoking in the highest degree.\u201d CONCERT.The Concert given last night in the Synod Hall, in aid of the building funds of St.John the Evangelist\u2019s Church, was a most successful affair.Long before the opening of the entertainment every seat in the large hall was occupied, and standing room alone was all that could be got after eight o\u2019clock.Like everything else done by the members of this church, the concert was not only intellectually a treat, but there was not a hitch during the whole evening.The programme was rich in choice selections of songs, instrumental music, and reading.Where a]|ldidso well it is hard to particularize, but we should not be doing justice if we failed to mention the splendid manner in which Mr.C.G.Geddes sang \u201c Forget Me Not,\u201d by Barn-by.He was loudly and deservedly encored for his masterly effort.Mrs.Thrower gave a lively little song, entitled \u201c May,\u201d a composition of Mr.F.G.Barnes.The music was most pleasing, and the song is sure to become a fast favourite.The readings of Mr.W] N.Evan* were well done, and caused much amusement.As a comic reader this gentleman is a grand success.Miss J.Hobson\u2019s piano solos were most artistically played, and evidenced much study.The part songs were fairly given ; the last one, however, was slightly out of tune.On the whole, the concert was, as we said before, a success in every way.We hope the members will soon entertain us at another of a like kind.The Rev.Edward Wood, rector, and other clergymen were present during the evening.The concert closed at ten o\u2019clock with the singing of the National Anthem.\u2014Dr.Hale, of Chicago, taking as his text the case of a woman who was run over in the street and killed, because she drew back after starting to cross ahead of a pair of horses, says that he is surprised that more women are not hurt in the same way, \u201cA woman starts to cross the street,\u201d he says, \u201c and when she gets one-third or half way over she sees a team approaching the driver in nearly every instance watches her movements, and seeks to drive in behind her.If she keeps on her way, all is well.If she only stands still she is per fectly safe.But here comes in the strange and fatal idiosyncracy of her sex.Just as the driver thinks he can safely drive be hind, she stops, starts back a few steps, aud, unless the driver is prompt, and draws his horse back on his haunches, the woman is under his feet, or knocked down.\u201d IJNSTIXTIT el3i'esoles Street, MONTREAL, SOLE AGENTS IN CANADA FOE of a DKFOT Improved Juger The Best and CM in ts i hand aU Riviere, Gardrat & Cie., Cognac, Brandies.Wynand hockink, amsterdam, Beste Schiedammer Gin and Cordials.La Grande Chartreuse, laere, L.Garnier, Chartreuse (genuine).\t1 E.Mercier & Co., Epernay, Champagne.La Bencdrctine, from the Abbey of Fecamp ) J.Bnsson & Co., Bordeaux, Clarets.H' H.the Duke d\u2018Aumale, Palermo, I Zucco-Madeira.Odrion & Piot, Purveyors to the Court of Russia, Cote d Or Burgundy Wines.E.Cusemer & Co., Purveyors to the Court ot Italy Pans, Cordials.< Chevalier-appert, Paris, Cons rvea Ali-mentaire?.Gaillard & Cavaillon, Provence, Oils.TV?!! ri* ^ rer,;3\u2019 Nantes, Sardines in Oil.ihe Gruyere Model Cheese Factory, Gruy-rr r}ire\u2019 Switzerland, Cheese, hi.laverney A Co., Vevcy, Switzerland, Cigars and Tobacco.1 he French and Belgian Plate G'ass Cos.htaidin & Cie, Belgium, Window Glass, ine Crystal works of Baccarat, Paris.T tW?\u2019 Tnmoges;

Over-Assessment.\u2014The Re-' corder was occupied tor a considerable time yesterday on the case of F.X.Beaudry, who petitions against the alleged excessive values at which his real estate property in this city has been assessed.Being dissatisfied with the assessors valuation, he employed two men to assess the property, and they fixed its value at considerably less.The assessors, on the other hand, contend that the property ought to be assessed iu some degree in proportion to the enormous price onrained by the owner for rental, and also with due regard to the fact that other property in the immediate neighbonrhood is deteriorated in value by its proximity to the petitioner\u2019s, owing to the immoral purposes for which the latter is occupied.The petitioner is the proprietor of 200 houses or more, distributed throughout the city, other than St.Ann\u2019s and St.Aatoine Wards.The case is still proceeding.National History Society.\u2014The regular monthly meeting of this Society was held on Monday evening in the Hall of the Society.Mr.A.R.C.Selwyn, F.R.S., occupied the chair in the absence of Principal Dawson.There was a fair attendance of both ladies and gentlemen.Mr.John

Island of Montreal.Another very interesting paper was that read by Mr.J.W.Taylor \" On an Esquimaux bow and arrow.\u201d A pleasing resume of the excursion of the Society, to St.Jerome, in July last, was given by Messrs.Marier and Caulfield, and the meeting concluded with an inspection of photographs and maps from the Canadian Exhibit at Paris, kindly lent by Mr.Selwyn.Passing Counterfeit Coin.\u2014On Mon- j day Sergeant Bouchard, of the Beaudry ' Ubeas Station, was informed by a boy that 3 master, Napoleon Archambault, hotel \u2018per of St.Laurent street, near Bourque J had \u2019 received three counterfeit 25 t \u2022'Ces from two young foreigners .-.1 at his place, and asked for their arresi,.* irived at the hotel, with two constahi the Sergeant found that Ar-char di did not desire to prosecute the gui£!>j^% s, having settled with them for §2(1; I Sergeant informed him that he was gu.u- ot compounding a felony, and arrested .rim, whereupon he declared his willingness to prosecute.The foreigners were also arested, and gave the names of Laurent and Louis Bonacoursi.Archam- b mit, yesterday, testified, before the Police Magistrate, that he received the bad coin from Laurent, and that his brother merely induced him to settle the case for the sum named.Louis was discharged, and Laurent committed for trial.It is alleged that be has already served four years in the penitentiary for a like offence.Obtaining Goods by False Pretences.\u2014Three charges under this head were being investigated before the Police Magistrate yesterday.That of Andrew Ritchie, warehouseman, charged with obtaining money by false pretences, on goods alleged to be waiehoused, was' closed, argued, and taken en délibéré.That of one Rice, a cattle drover, of Bowmanville, vs.Alex.Coultry, butcher, of Radegonde street, is slowly progressing.The charge, it will be remembered, is that Coultry obtained between 300 and 400 head of cattle from complainant in the Point St.Charles Yards, promising to pay him the purchase money in a few hours, then that he would pay him the next morning, and the next morning apoligizing that he had not the money about him, and promising that he would pay it the next week.By the time Mr.Rice reached Bowmanville, Coultry had become insolvent and settled with his creditors at 15 cents on the dollar.The case of the young man Laurie, charged with obtaining $125 worth of groceries, &c., from Messrs.McGibbon & Baird, shows signs of a speedy termination.Laurie contends that he obtained the goods at the request ot Mr.O\u2019Brien, the large real estate owner at Mount Royal Vale, in order to provide a free lunch at an auction sale of\u2019property there.O\u2019Brien repudiates the indebtedness.CIV C

yesterday evening.Present :____ Aid.Grenier (in the chair), Aids.Wil-son.Hood, Genereux, Hagar, Taylor, Rivard and Kennedy.A letter referred' from the City Council to t he Committee was read from Mr.St.Denis, complaining of an alleged injustice done him in rejecting his tender for carters\u2019 and dogs\u2019 license badges at the last meeting of the Committee, and threatening to take the matter before another tribunal.The Acting-Chief stated that Mr.St.Denis had that day called for his samples and taken them away.It was decided to take no notice of the letter.A letter, similarly referred, was read from Messrs.R.Seatb & Sons, tailors, complaining of an alleged injustice in the rejection of their samples.The clerk was ordered to write Messrs- Seatb, explaining to them that their tender was not according to specification, made-up clothing only being asked for.A letter was read from Mr.Dugas, Police Magistrate, politely \u2022 informing the Committee that one Alphonse Sa-bourin had applied for a warrant for assault against Constable Ricard, and that he did not wish to act before the Committee were acquainted of the fact.The Chairman explained that an investigation had been held in the matter by Sub-Chief Naegle and Sub-Chief Paradis, in which it was shown that, on Thursday night last, Sabourin, a well known character, was arrested on St.Catherine street East, by a constable, for drunkenness and disorderly conduct\u201d, hut resisted, and Constable Ricard, who was going along in private clothes, went to his comrade\u2019s assistance.Sabourin then attacked Ricard most brutally, and that officer, in self-defense, used his fists and compelled the ruffian to submit.Sabourin now, through his attorney, Mr Auge, brings a counter-action for assault.Dr.Picault had stated that Ricard had received a severe heating, and would not be able to attend his duty, or appear against the prisoner, for some days.Thus the matter rests.The Chairman said he had received a letter from Mr.John Crawford, President of the C.P.R.Co., in which, amongst other matters to be laid before the Committee, was the complaint, that certain opposition omnibus sleigh-owners had obtained passes from the Committee on which they were still driving, although the time had expired and the license money had not yet been paid.The Chairman explained that passes bad been given occasionally to poor carters to enable them to run for seven or eight days, until they should have earned enough to get a license, but that the omnibus sleigh-owners, being well-to-do, it had been decided that no passes should he given that class of vehicles unless specially granted by the Committee.Amongst other mat-ters referred to in Mr.Crawford\u2019s letter, was the alleged injustice done the Company by opposition lines, through fast and close driving.The Chairman explained that very strict instructions had been given by the Chief of Police to the members of the force to arrest the drivers of any sleigh guilty of running above the prescribed rate of six miles an hour, or of running in too close proximity to any other sleiffh.Mr.Robillard, the Superintendent of the Company, was heard.He said the Company issued strict orders to their drivers not to race, but to run their sleighs as usual, and not to exceed six miles an hour.Hé exj lained that the opposition sleighs were not bound by such regulations as the C.P.R., and caused the latter to suffer much inconvenience by closely following, and neglecting to run the proper distances.They waited in by-streets, off Papineau road, Longueuil Perry Lane, and other points, and, when the C.P.R.sleigh came along, would follow close after a certain distance, and then drop off a bystreet and return.la order to prevent a continuance of this practice, the C.P.R.had placed omnibuses of a lighter construction on the various routes, in addition to their regular ten minutes\u2019 omnibuses.These light sleighs proceed as far as Fulford street and return, and it was one of these that was run into by an opposition sleigh, on Monday last, when a lady passenger was badly injured.This latter sleigh was owned by parties residing in fc>t.Henri, who did not contribute to the city\u2019s taxes, and it would be proved at the trial on Tuesday next who were the aggressors.The Chairman here interposed, and represented that such orders had been given the Police as he hoped would put an end to such practises in the future.He also explained that Mr.Crawford had drawn attention to the fact that other parties had been running the four omnibuses of Messrs.Livermore and Alger.As the transfer of carters\u2019 licenses was not allowed by law, the vehicles had been withdrawn by order of the Committee.Aid.Kennedy contended that the fault was not altogether on one side, and that the C.P.R.was to blame for bringing out these \u201c lightning busses.\u201d He had watched and had seen a C.P.R.sleigh in front and a C.P.R.sleigh behind one of these

more noteworthy gifts, we here of a magnificent riviere and cross in large diamonds, the gift of the King and Queen of Denmark; a bracelet composed of seven very large diamonds, from her brother, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and a beautiful brsoch, set with various jewels, from the children of their Royal Highnesses.The Duke of Cumberland presented his bride with a costly suite of necklace, brooch, and bracelet in diamonds and sapphires.The Dowager Queen of Denmark gave a miniature of herself, painted by the celebrated Danish artist, Jensen, and set with splendid pearls.The Dowager Queen of Hanover presented her daughter-in-law with a complete set of ornaments in pearls, rubies, and diamonds ; the Emperor and Empress of Russia sent a magnificent bracelet with five rows of Oriental pearls and diamonds.Queen Victoria sent a costly cashmere shawl, and a miniature of herself in a locket set with diamonds.The Prince of Wales sent a splendid India necklace of emeralds, pearls, and uncut diamonds; the Princess of Wales gave her sister a travelling-bag of the most perfect workmanship, and containing \u201c no end \u201d of conveniences, all the requisites being of solid silver, with the monagram of the Duchess of Cumberland in gold ; each of the five children of their Royal Highnesses sent their pretty aunt a beautiful bracelet with diamonds.Altogether, the presentations, as previously remarked, are unusually numerous, varied, and valuable.The French Art-Journal, L\u2019Art, long known as one cf the highest of its class, has issued a Christmas number of unusual interest for English subscribers.It contains, with a series of capital illustrations giving the principal objects in the Britisn Section of the late Exhibition, one of the very best portraits yet executed of the Prince of Wales, a faultless etching after the portrait by Waltner, to whom the popular Heir to the British Ciown gave several sittings when he was last in this city.This exceptional number also contains a good portrait of Sir Cunliffe Owen, a lithograph of Millet\u2019s Flock of Sheep, and a variety of other illustrations admirably executed.The letter-press, in its way, is as interesting and excallent as the illustrations.The King of Bavaria has just issued a Royal Decree announcing that an International Exhibition of Fine Arts is to be held in Munich this year.Invitations are to be forwarded to all THE LEADING ARTISTS OF THE WORLD, who, it is hoped, will concur to render the new Exhibition a brilliant success.Decidedly, the \" Flint Age,\u201d the \u201c Iron Age,\u201d and all preceding \" Ages \u201d are being succeeded by the \" Exhibition Age ; \u201d the world, at present, being clearly unable to do without the great gatherings which seem to be rapidly becoming the main business of this century ! The medley of objects forming the prizes of this colossal affair includes 245 paintings, nearly all of which are by well known artists of great merit; 200,.groups of statuary or single figures.The musical department is equally well represented; there are 200 pianos and organs, varying in value from .£60 to .£800; there are violins, double basses, flutes, trombones, clarinettes.bugles, trumpets, guitare, drums by the score.What a deafening concert might be furnished with the aid of such an army of instruments 1 And what a Pantagraelesque supper might succeed the concert, if the edible contents of the Palace of Industry could be devoted to that purpose, for the prizes contain 4,000 cases or boxes cf pre-served provisions; and, although there is no bread in the eoileetion, there are 2,000 cases of biscuits and rusks.There are 79 barrels of butter, 3 barrels of vinegar, 6 enormous cases of the favourite cheese called \u201c Gruyere,\u201d and 8 eases of the strong cheese known as \u201c Roquefort,\u201d besides Chesters, Gloucesters, and other foreign makes.There are 15 barrels of wine, 8,000 cases of fine wines and liqueurs, 150 baskets of champagne, and 200,000 candies, con tained in 4,000 cases.It is evident that a very complete \u201c fete \u201d might be given with the materials collected by the Loan Committee.Two names, that recall the memory of Pre-Exhibitiontimes, have just come up before the public eye.Mile.Marie Bossis, who was an attendant on the ladies of the Guiay family, iu whose house the Duchess de Barrit, was secreted, has just lied at - It is reported that the King of Portugal has been threatened by the leaders of foe \u201d International.\u201d The King, it is said, was forwarned by a telegram from Hamburg, that an assassin bad been sent to L\u2019sbon to attempt his life, and a photograph of the emissary was sent on immediately afterwards.The police of Lis bon instituted a diligent search after the delegated murderer, and, it is added, caught sight of him, a short time since, but were unable to seize him.On the evening of the same day, the King was returning to Ajuda, by Alcantara, when two groups of people hurriedly approached his carriage, but the coachman, thinking thera was something suspicious about their movements, put his horses to a full gallop before these groups could get near the R»yal carriage.It is difficult to say what may have been the intentions of those groups ; was the would-be assassin among them ?ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.Toronto, Jan.28.The Speaker took the Chair at 3 p.m.After routine.The Clerk read the Report of the Committee cn Standing Orders leiative to sundry Bills.Mr.Merrick moved, seconded by Mr.Parkhill, for leave to introduce an Act to incorporate the Loyal Orange Associations of East and West Ontario.Mr.Crooks introduced a Bill to amend the Act relating to Separate and High Schools.Mr.Flesbbr moved for an Order of the House for a statement showing, in detail, the total amount received by the License Commissioner of Cardwell, for tavern and ,,.ense Breton, an indispensable agent is the HALIFAX MORNING CHRONICLE Chronicle is the pioneer daily of Nova Scotia, and has for many years held an un rivalled position as a political, commercial and general newspaper.It nn i«FYFvrciai dent Liberal journal.No other ^epen' the Province has had so larged staff spent money so liberally, or give/so much read cYRC^te petitors.While conducting \u201cits Lprin ®' on terms that secure only the best readers, it has obtained through itesuSvinr merits a circulation larger than InvriffZ contemporaries.Recently it absoXd fh^ purchase the «fee»-an old and ,(iby circulated ournal-and bv hT 'ndely-largely increased a circulation tha?already the largest in the PraHnce Th!¦ m no boast We guarantee \"St the18 MORNING CHRONICLE lias a larger circulation than any other journal published in Nova Scotia the\t\u2019 is confidentially recommend'd to the public as an uniailirg remedy for wounds of ej ery descrip tien ;
