Companies for insuring grain ca: goes on low grade, unseaworthy vessels, thus holding out an inducement to the owner of every old trap on the lakes to rush her into the grain trade.The case of the \u201c Ogarita\u201d is singled out as an example, and these details are given :\u2014\u201c The insurance of the cargo of corn on the schooner \u2018 Ogarita\u2019 was the boldest outrage committed on the owners of a good vessel for many years.She is not only B I dash, but is B 2.She is classed B 2 by the Insurance Companies themselves, and the Insurance Companies themselves say that no vessel below B 1 straight shall carry grain of any descr iption, not even oats.And the \u2018 Ogarita\u2019 has been in had shape for several years.She was B t (the lowest grade for grain carrying) in 1873; B 1 in 1874; B 1 in 1875; B 1 in dash (below grade) in 1876 ; B 1 in dash in 1877; B 1 dash in 1878; B 2 [way b low grade) in 1879.She was built in 1864.She is owned by J.Davidson, of Buffalo, hut the owner cuts no figure.Any owner who can run an old woru-out vessel (a vessel not kept up) into the grain trade will, of course, do so.It is the insurance companies who are to blame, and they alone.Mr.Lyon shipped the cargo of the \u2018 Ogarita,\u2019 E.K.Bruce was the vessel\u2019s agent, and the companies insuring the cargo were the Ætna, and Capt.John Prindiville\u2019s companies (we presume that each of his companies took some).Captain Prin-diville\u2019s companies are the Manhattan, St.Paul and Security.Capt.Morey and Mr.Goodwin represent the Ætna in Chicago, but we understand that Capt, E.P.Dorr was telegraphed to at Buffalo by Mr.Bruce (who solicits insurance as well as acting as vessel agent), and Capt.Dorr responded that \u2018Whatever Messrs.Goodwin and Morey did was all right.\u2019 In the same way we presume that Captain Prindiville telegraphed the managers of his companies, and was instructed to go ahead.He \u2018 went ahead,\u2019 at all events, and there is no doubt but that he had full authority to do what he did.\u201d Atlantic & St.Lawrence 6 p.c.Do 6 p.c.Sterling Mort.Bis.1SS4.Do do.3rd Mort.Deb.1891.Buffalo and Lake Huron.Do do 6 p.c.Bds.1st Mort.Do

CATTLE EUROPE.IN Dr.Lambl, of Prague, has dedicated much labour to the investigation of the causes of the increase and decrease of cattle throughout seventeen of the principal States of Europe.The diminution of cattle lately observed in England has not been confined to that country alone, but has been shared with France, Italy, and some of the German States.Those countries where ihe number of the cattle is the greatest per acre, are driven either to import a larger proportion of raw products from other lands, or to diminish their human population through emigration.A balance is thus struck between the number of animals and the number of human inhabitants a country can support, and the influence of a heavy stock of cattle manifests itself in the condition of the inhabitants, whose industry must be more productive to enable them to maintain a highly developed agriculture.\u2014 Economist.Circulation exclad-Ing bank post bills Public deooslts.Other Deposits.Govt, securities.Other

new dry pine lumber has been received by the canal the attendance of buyers, as was expected, is better, quite a number being at market today.From this time forward itisdhought that trade will be much more active.Several large sales have been made since our last report, and with the present low canal freights many firms will be tempted to enter into contracts for early delivery.There is no question but what present prices will be maintained on dry stock.Prices are without change.Coarse lumber comesfoiward very slow ; the low water checks receipts of logs at the mills, hence but little lumber is manufactured.The demand continues very good and prices are firm.At Saginaw 1,200,000 feet coarse lumber to Detroit parties at $5 and $10 ; 1,000,-000 feet green at $5, $10 and $25.A sale of 1,800,000 feet was made for Albany at $5, $10 and $25.From East Saginaw the shipments during the week ending May 24 were 10,276,000 feet of lumber and 8,700,-000 shingles.From Bay City the week\u2019s The Lyons silk trade, or rather the manufacture of silk goods, is approaching a crisis.Perhaps the effects of the German tariff may do much to prevent the growth of competition from beyond the Rhine, but the manufacturers of Lyons are beginninu to see that much will depend on the future cost of production.The annual value of the products of the great ilk manufacturing districts may be roughly estimated as follows :\u2014Lyons, 350,000,000 francs ; Crefeld and Elberfeld, 70,000,000 francs; Zurich aid Bale, 90,000,000 francs J United States, 25,000,000 francs.Besides these, Italy is making rapid progress at Como and other places.Russia has her silk manufactures at Moscow, and will in time extend its manufacture of Ohinese silks.The Viennese mills are also w orking on a larger scale.Lyons has lost the manufacture of mixed silk and cotton almost completely.Figured goods are neglected, and the artistic superiority of the French workmen, if there remains any, is of less importance.The growing use of Oriental silks and the superior advantages of Italy in respect to climate and cheap labour, will undoubtedly effect a great change within a few years in the relative manufacturing position of the two countries.Bank of Montreal.Ontario Bank.Bank of B.N.America.Consolidated.Banque du Peuple.Molsons\u2019 Bank.Bank of Toronto.Bank Jac.Cartier.Merchants\u2019 Bank.Sast\u2019n Townsblps Bank.Quebec

affairs how little except sheer prrty spirit there is in the grounds of opposition to the existing Government.Far from arraigning Mr.Mowat and his colleagues for anything like corruption Mr.Smith has been obliged to confess that the course of the Premier\u2019s administration leaves him possessed of a « very high character,\u201d such, indeed, as it is well-known he has always enjoyed.For the Professor, therefore, notwithstanding his objection to what he calls partyism in the conduct of our public affairs, the single reason for disposing of the present unexceptionable possessor of power in the Upper Province, is that he does not belong to the same party in Dominion politics as Sir John A.Macdonald.Mr.Goldwin Smith, the purist par excellence, puts forward, as the one thing needful for the Government of the Province, that those who control it shall be the allies and confidents of Sir John Macdonald, who, in the same breath, he confesses, has disgraced both himself and his country, aud, notwithstanding Mr.Smith\u2019s hope that he will \u201c never do so any more,\u201d to this day stands out defiant and unrepentant of his crime.Compared with th:s degrading pleading of the self - constituted censor of all other men, the objections of Mr.Senator Macpherson are in the highest degree respectable.The Senator at least does not in the cause of patriotism\u2014in the cause of sound morality\u2014 desire his fellow Provincials to depose an independent Minister of an independent Province, against whose reputation he cannot whisper a word of blame, in order to replace him by an avowed creature and tool of the Federal authority, which is itself swayed by a man guilty of grossly disgraceful conduct, and who, if we are to judge from the manner in which he speaks of his offense, is quite ready to repeat it whenever the occasion shall arise.No doubt Mr.Macpherson\u2019s policy leads to the same thing as that of Mr.Goldwin Smith\u2019s ; but probably, because he does not set himself up so ostentatiously as a public moralist, the former avoids putting the fact so boldly as the latter, and refrains from making this exchange the ground of action.He contents himself by misrepresentations in figures, which, however erroneous, are not so shocking to the sense of right and wrong as the advice to exalt vice by means of depressing virtue.But though few people probably will take the trouble to follow all the sums\u2014most of them done as well as if they were for an examination\u2014by which Mr.Macpherson has sought to bewilder his readers, and probably has succeeded in mystifying himself, nothing is more simple than the great arithmetical facts, with which the electors have to deal.We may say in advance, however, that all the sums are not equally well done, and that one of the errors is of very great magnitude indeed.Mr.Macpherson makes what he erroneously calls the expenses of administration in Ontario to have increased by 260 per cent.But here he is met by Mr.Phipps, the gentleman who did so much mischief, as we think, in bringing about the National Policy; but who does not want bad Government in Ontario in the name of the National Policy in the Dominion.Mr.Phipps shows, from Mr.Macphersons own figures,that,instead of 260 per cent., the percentage should be only 160 per cent., and that our great arithmetician has failed in calculation just as the profound moral philosopher has failed in morality.He has found that for certain outlays, which, as he puts it, were formerly accomplished for $100, the Province now expends $260.That, according to Cocker and to the compilers of ready-reckoners, makes an increment of one hundred and sixty per cent.But, by treating the whole outlay as an increase instead of only the difference between the initial sum and the present sum, he has got an extra hundred per cent, to hurl ac the head of the Premier.This, it must be confessed, is bad for a politician whose whole reputation is built up on his creditable manipulation of the four first rules.It would be as if Bishop Colenso, whose theology consists altogether in the accuracy with which he adds up the possible increase of the children of Israel and the number of them who could have stood between two parallel lines projected from each side of the door of the tabernacle, had allowed only one man for every three feet of space instead of one man for the two or two and a half feet, which are really all that is required for standing-room.The truth is, however, that the fallacy and want of pertinence of Mr.Macpherson\u2019s argument is far more deep-seated and important than can be showed by Mr.Phipp\u2019s conviction of his blundering notation.His effort is to show that the people of -Ontario have been very much spoliated and oppressed by the extravagance of their rulers.But in truth Ontario, except perhaps some trifling affair in the way of tavern !or other licenses, pays no taxes at all.Where then is the hardship and ruin which the Government has worked on the people ?It requires a very eccentric mind to discover it; but it consists in this, that having an income, without taxation, very much larger than is required for the annual current expenditure\u2014an income so much larger than necessary.that it has run up to a considerable surplus\u2014the Mowat Government has been expending the excess in all sorts of valuable public works for the benefit of the present generation, instead of putting it up in Dominion bonds at 5 cent, interest, for the supposed advantage of a posterity which will gain far more by the public works than it could do by the money.Indee d, if the money js to be sacred for this generation, it is not clear why it should ue less so to our grandchildren, so that, upon Mr.Macpherson\u2019s principle, the people of Ontario would never be allowed to spend more than the interest upon the accumulation of their annual surpluses, instead of spending every year the v hole of their income upon works of public utility, in many casts on works of an immediately reproductive character.That is, in a few words, the whole of the contention raised by the Senator.It involves the simple question whether the people of the Province would have been better pleased to see every year that they had so many millions lying at a low rate of interest, or to have the network of railroads which now covers their country ; to have the large distribution of money to the Municipalities which was made at the settlement of the Municipal Loan Fund ; to have their schools greatly improved ; the Agricultural College founded, and various Asylums and other Public Woiks established or extended without charge to the local rates ; and to have a vast territory reclaimed by drainage works.We do not think that any one can hesitate as to the choice between these two modes of employing money not raised by taxation ; but coming to the Province from other sources.It is not, of course, to be denied that the expenses of administration proper have somewhat increased during the last eight years.The population has increased; the settled territory has been widely ex tended ; the useful and benevol nt institutions of the country, notably the schools, have been augmented in numbers and improved in character ; until recently, moreover, the salaries of Government officials were gradually being enlarged, like those of all other classes.But the larger salaries make only a small part of the great increase imputed to the Mowat Government by Mr.Macpherson, and is no more than was just and necessary.Mr.Phipps in a pamphlet already referred to, compares it with the augmentation of the cost of administering the municipality of Toronto with the following results \u201c We were by census in 1870,1,620,000 people ; probably now about two millions.The expenditure is, surplus and all, about three millions of dollars.So, even spending on works, &c., as we do, the whole cost to each of us is a dollar and a half a head\u2014without the surplus spending it would be less than a dollar.Compare this with the expenditure of Toronto \u2014fifteen or sixteen dollars per head per year.\u201d He also shows how enormously the actual work of the departments of the Government has increased by the following statement of the reports and other documents which have either been made by the Department or have required to be dealt with by them \u201c In the Secretary\u2019s Department, letters, references, reports, returns, circulars, licenses, &c., have swelled in six years from 4,000 to 36,-000 annually ; in the Administration of Justice Audit, from 5,000 to 35,000; in the Treasury Department, from 9,000 to 21,000; in the Attorney General\u2019s Department (many being files), from 1,400 to 7,000.Total, from 19,000 to 99,000.\u201d We think these things show conclusively how little cause there is for assailing the Mowat Government or seeking to change it for untried men, who certainly afford no promise of being either better or more competent.expropriation cases, aud that the defen- Î treat.But how the carrures came dants had allowed him to use the name of the firm of Ouimet, Ouimet & Nantel for the purposes of such expropriations, and had promised (to pay him for the services.In consideration of this the defendants were to charge the plaintiff with fifty dollars, and return to him the balance of all the bills of costs in the case.Mr.Gaudet took all the proceedings in the cases, and made the disbursement;, amounting in all to about one hundred dollars.The actions wore successful, and Messrs.Ouimet, Ouimet & Nantel received the costs amounting to $662.20, and they i now refuse to hand over to the pDintiff the sum to which he( claims to have a right.Hence the action.Mr.A.Morin is counsel for Mr.Gaudet.fired is a mystery as yet.Too much praise cannot be given Mr.Cormack for his timely assistance, by which the lives of the horses were saved.It is also a matter of congratulation that the fire was discovered as it was.for the premises, being composed entirely of wood, would quickly have communicated, at this dry season, with the extensive premises of the Montreal Express Company, fronting on St.Alexander street, and which are composed of the same inflammable material.GAZETTE, Advertisements.!^suvancc < 3.CARSIEY\u2019S SHOW ROOM.THE KAFFIR

Opposition leader, Mr.Meredith, is \u201c above the class which supplies salaries to Orangeism.\u201d This is rather hard upon Sir John Macdonald and Mr.Mackenzie Bowell, who are leaders of the party which we believe the Canadian admires, and who are both Orangemen ; the latter being even President of the Triennial Council, whatever that awe-inspiring body may be.ENLISTING ORANGE SENTIMENT ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE.To the Editor of the Orange Sentinel.Dear Sir 'and Brio.,\u2014I clip the following paragraph from the Globe of this morning ; Some disreputable person in the name, but unquestionably without the sanction, of the Orange Association, has put into circulation in different parts of the Province a most disgraceful fly-sheet.The \u201c Loyal Orangemen of Ontario,\u201d to whom it is addressed, should see to it that such tactics are not condoned even by silence.The first paragraph and the last will sufficiently indicate the tone and contents of this contemptible dodger.They are as follows, capitals, italics, and all : BRETHERN,\u2014The elections for the Legislature of Ontario are approaching, and it is the duty of every true Orangeman to remember the wrongs and insults that we have received from the local Government, which is composed of Bjjch men as Mowat, Fraser, Glarke (Norfolk), and their followers.Row is our opportunity to repay our traducers.They will come to us ready to perjure themselves in making promises which they never intend to fulfil to secure our votes.Let us now stand together as the glorious defenders of Derry did of old, and, united, we will send them to that obscurity which is the resting place of Liars and Traitors.*\t#\t# DOWN WITH THE MOWAT GOVERN.KENT and its supporters, such men as Dérocha, Robinson and others, who will now make the same false promises to us that they formerly did with the view of securing our support, and then laughing at us.NO SURRENDER ! \u201d I have not seen any of the fly-sheets containing the above, nor do I know who got them printed ; yet I HEARTILY ENDORSE THEIR SPIRIT AND SENTIMENT.I hope that EVERY ORANGEMAN in Ontario will follow the advice given in them.\u2014Yours fraternally, James Bennett, D.G.M., W.O.Toronto, May 23,1879.We sincerely hope that all Orange-men are not engaged in the discreditable business, but there is certainly a strong attempt made by many of them to rally Orangemen, as a body, in op-pssition to the Ontario Government, which is denounced as a \u201c priest ridden administration,\u201d because one of its ablest members, Mr.Frazer, is a Roman Catholic.A letter to the Orange Sentinel from a District Grand-Master residing in Toronto, which we publish this morning, shows the way in which the work is, it is expected, to be performed.LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.Maritzburg, May 30.\u2014A correspondent, writing May 14th, says there is exciting news from the Tugela frontier.Near Help-makaar.onthe 11th May,a great battle took place at a point between Thringpost and Sanhw&lla.A powerful Zulu chief named Matcona with all his people, numbering six thousand, had resolved to surrender to the British.He was joined by Dabul-manz;, Cetywayo'a brother, who commanded the Zulus at Isandula and Gisghilovo and the remnant of that army, its chiefs having kept awey from Cetywayo since their defeat through fear.When nearing Thringpost they were unexpectedly lu'er-cepted by a powerful force, supposed to he commanded by Cetywayo, coming from the northward.The following is a case which particularly interests law students : Mr.Oscar Gaudet, advocate of this city, and formerly clerk, when a student, in the office of Messrs.Ouimet, Ouimet and Nantel, advocates, has entered an action in the Superior Court against these gentlemen to recover

and driven back.Matcoaa escaped, but Dahulmanzi, it is said, was killed.Cetywayo, elated with his success, and apparently learning that Lord Chelmsford\u2019s columns have made a forward movement, has summoned all his followers and taken a strong position at the Fork of the White Umvolosi at its junction with the Black Umvolosi.At his back are some of the highest known mountains in Zululand, densely wooded at the base.The country in front is swampy and difficult of approach.Here the King evidently AWAITS THE BRITISH ATTACK.The native scouts say he has declared he will never surrender.He is believed to have collected all his available force, and no raids into Natal are now feared.The bridge across the Tugela is now available for light transport.Col.Pearso», the hero of Ekowe, who has been suffering from fever, is better.Much sickness from sunstroke prevails among the troops.The Boers in the Transvaal are quieting down.Major-General Crealock\u2019s column has had some skirmishing with unimportant results, Cetywayo knows that Oham, his brother, who surrendered in Swaziland, with six hundred or seven hundred followers, is an aspirant FOR THE ZULU THRONE, and stands a chance, in case of the war being carried on further, of being crowned by the English as the ruler of the Zulus.Oham, it was known some time ago, is, at the head of a considerable section of the Zulus, and is privately supported by the chiefs Induria and Myamaria, and he and his adherents have long disapproved of Cetywayo\u2019s tyranny, ana were expected at some time or other to make a movement to depose the King.It would be nothing new in Zulu history far one brother to betray another.There is also another section of malcontents, which had its origin in the following manner :\u2014Some thirl y years ago when King Parida was getting too feeble to take an active part in the government cf his kingdom, there was strong rivalry between two brothers, Cetywayo the heir apparent, and Umbulazi, whose pretensions were supported by Parida.This quarrel ended in the destruction and death of UMBOLAZI AND SIX OF HIS BROTHERS at the baatle cf Donduduaaka.A great number of their adherents were also slain, after which Cetywayo had it all his ow-way.This happened in 1856, and to this day Cetywayo persecutes this section with the utmost brutality.Another point must not be lost sight of.Two of Cetywayo\u2019s brothers are still in Natal, and the Natal government has persistently refused to give them up.MURDER AKD ARSON.Alphonse Quenville, Watchman at Morey\u2019s Livery Stables Murderously Attacked and the Premises Set on Fire\u2014Quenville not Expected to Live.Shortly before two o\u2019clock, this morning, a stableman in the employ of the Montreal Express Company, heard a cry of \u201c murder.\u201d About the same time Constable Beauregard, while on duty, observed smoke issuing from the coach-house of J.Morey & Co., and immediately gave the alarm.The Brigade were on hand within two minutes afterwards and were Providentially met by Mr.J.McCormick, grocer, step-brother to Mr.Morey, who was aweke from his slumbers by his wife exclaiming that Morey\u2019s stables were on fire.The smoke was exceedingly dense and the firemen found it impossible to enter by the front.In this emergency they were led by Mr.McCormick, iuto Alexander street, through the stables of the Montreal Express Co., and thence by a short blind lane to a rear gate of Mr.Morey\u2019s stables.This was forced in a trice, and despite the darkness the firemen, with the able assistance of Mr.McCormick, speedily released 70 horses and oast them loose upon the street.Three minutes longer and every one of them would have been suffocated.Meantime, the other members of the central section of the brigade had battered in the gates of the coach-house facing onLagauchetiere street, in which the fire was raging, and with the aid of a couple of streams of water, soon extinguished the flimes.As soon as the smoke had cleared awuy, it was ascertained that the fire apparently broke out in one of the carriages standing directly opposite the office in which the watchman, Alphonse Quenville, had been sleeping.home twenty carriages were more or less burned, including those used by the Vice-Regal party during tho past week.Six of these carriages are utterly beyond repair, and the otners more or less damaged.They are said to have cost from $500 to $800 each.The premises are entirely composed of wood, are owned by Mr.J.T.Morgan, and are fully covs red by insuranoe.The only damage they have sustained, apparently, is a charred ceiling in some parte.The fire also appears to have penetrated through cracks in the ceiling to the loft above.The fire was ably handled, three minutes sufficing to put the building out of danger.When Chief Patton and his men entered the office adjoining, a Etrange sight met there eyes, as well as a probable clue to the cause of the fire.The cushion of the chair in which the watchman had.to all appearances been taking a nap, was covered with blood, the wainscoting was smeared with blood, the floor was clotted heavily with blood in two places, as though he had been struck while prostrate with some ghastly weapon, the stove pipes were knocked down ; the stove all astew and several sporting pictures, which had graced the walls, were lying smashed upon the floor.Investigation elicited the fact that Constable Grave!, on hearing the alarm of fire, hastened to the spot, and hearing a struggle inside the building, h'ad no difficulty in pushing open the coach-doors.He was met by blinding smoke, but persevered in the hope of saving life, and at the door of the office seized hold of a man, his clothes all damp and clotty, whom he led to the street.In a ve'y short time he had conveyed the poor fellow Quenville\u2014for it was he\u2014to the General Hospital, where it was discovered that he had sustained very severe injuries of thescullfrom some blunt instrument, several splinters having apparently penetrated thebrain.He had alsoreceired two severe stabs from a knife in the neck, from which the blood flowed copiously.He was left in the hands of the physicians.Very slight hope* are entertained that he will recover.Quenville is about 38 years ef age, is married, and has a family of three children.He bears an excellent character as a sober, steady man, and by husbanding his resources has succeeded in acquiring seme li; tie real estate, including his residence on Ligauchetiere street, in which his family resides.It is presumed that the place was entered by burglars, who were unexpectedly surprised to find Quenville in in the office, and thereupon murderously attacked him, in order to secure their re- Amusements.A.OAUIBM.Y OF MUS5IO.Last IS ifi'lit But One OF AMERICA\u2019S FAVORITE, M4GGIE MITCHELL.THIS (FRIDAY) EVENING, LITTLE U AKLt'OOT I SATURDAY EVENING.MJA-KL, OF SAVOY I SATURDAY MATINEE, AT
