acknowledging the French subscriptions for the relief of the distress in Ireland, dwells on the pitiful condition of his flock, and declares it is his painful duty to have to stretch out his hands to America and to France rather than to flourishing England, which yearly receives millions from Ireland in taxes.\u2014\u2014The U.S.Consul at Dublin says, in Ireland there is a low atate of production.Chaos, discontentment, want of industry and thrift, due to tbe very limited ownership of land.\u2018The cost of emigration, instead of being borne by the British Government, is really drawn from the Irish labourers in America, whe, in twenty years, have remitted $65,000,000 to Ire- 1pnd in aid of the relatives in poverty or desiring to emigrate to the United States.FOREIGN.\u2014 Prince

the number of French Consulships in America, and that diplomatic relations with Mexico be re-established in order to save France from loss in those markets, in which she hitherto held first rank \u2014A Paris correspondent, discussing the probability of the appointment of M.Chalomel Lacour, Republican Senator, as Ambassador a Uerlip, to succeed Count de St.Vallier, says: \u201c Nobody will suppose that the presence of a Radical Ambassador at Berlin would benefit France.The majority think it the duty of the new Cabinet to give proofs of prudent patriotism by keeping at Berlin an Ambassador who is least likely to compromise it.\u201d \u2014The Lieutenant-Governor of the Gold Coast has secured from the King of Agbczomes the cession of the seaboard, exiend- ing two miles i :land.The adjoining territories are expected to shortly come under British control in the same manner.It is understood the action of the British Government is partly due to the fact that American traders on the Coast have made an agreement with the King of Agbozomea, leased a®ortion of his territory and landed large cargoes of apirits, which were brought into English territory without paying duty.\u2014La Republique Francaise, Gambetta\u2019s organ, discussing the condition of Russia, says: \u201c Without troubling to see if all went well at home, Russia has cast herself upon the path of

Probably be the ticket itself, which the ies of a oertain class of political esono- mists, we surprise at reading the following in a Philadelphia paper, which, being published in the most Protectionist community of the United States, ie also the most Protectionist of that community\u2019s newspapers :\u2014 Ag for annexation, it is \u201c probable that by the time the United \u201c States is willing to tolerate it the \u2018¢ Canadians will be clamorous for it; \u201c but at the present time this country \u201cfeels as if it were quite spacions \u201c enough for proper government.It \u201c\u2018 does not need Canada now except as \u201ca market for certain of its prodncts, \u201c and Canada needs it very much as a \u2018\u2018 market to buy from, not to sell to.\u201cWe can afford to maintain a Tariff \u201claw against the New Dominion be- \u201c cause she produces few things which « we require; and she cannot afford \u201csuch a law because we produce so \u201cmuch that her people must have, \u201c which they cannot do without, and \u201c which consequently they must \u201cget ne cheaply as possible.\u201d And again, in the same issue of the same paper, \u201cG:rmany\u2019s new Tariff laws \u201c are not working as profitably as they \u2018 were expected to do by Prince Bismarck, their author, 8) far as they \u201c were aimed against the imports from \u201c America they wore little less than ¢ suicidal.What the neighbonring \u201c* countries export to Germany she can \u201c very readily do without in the main, * but nearly everything that we export \u2018\u201c she cannot do without at all.We \u201csend her chiefly breadstuffs, bacon, * canned vegetables und fruits and pe- \u201c troleum, and the duly which she im- \u201c poses upon these things must be paid by \u201c her own people solely.\u201d Thue, when any other nation is concerned, our Pennsylvania contemporary can sce,us clearly a8 anybody else, the truth which lies at bottom of the whole question of fiscal policy, and which dstermices that question against the system of which it is 89 fond.In tha cases of Canada and Germany ic set forth, succinctly and convincingly.that it is the consumer who pays any import duty which the State impos-s, and it tbinks that the Government of neither of these States can thus afford to inflict burdens on its subjects.Yet that is just what it insists that its own Government should do upon theciti- zens of the United States.It is all very well to say that food is a iccessary which must not bs taxed, and that the United States do mot require to import food.Even that weak plea would not cover the inconsistency exbibited in the case of Canada ; becanse we do not im= port more food from the Stats than they import from us\u2014perhaps not quite so much, if we take into account only what is not intended for reshipment.But food is not the only necessary of civilized man: To go no farther, he must have clothes, and he must Lave metals just as much as he must have victuale, and these things are cruelly taxed by our neighbours.Perhaps 1t may be said that their people are richer than Canadians and Germans, and hence can stand an amount of Custom Huse robbery which would rnin other countries.But large classes of a nation, if they could perosive the facts as plain y as an individual does those which concern himself particularly, would not ea - dure to be robbed of a considerable part of their earnings, merely beciunss the whole is not taken away from them.It is, therefore, silly for Americans to read lessons of free-trade to others, or to draw conclusions as to the necessity of others avoiding the follics to which they themselves 80 strongly adhere.They must reform themselves before they preach elsewhere.We need say nothing about the annexation twaddle in the above extract.\u2014e HOUSE RENTS IN IRELAND, One can understand the theoretical idea that the property of a country should belong to the country, that is, as you choose to put i:, to the Government, or to the entire people whom the Government represents.Bat:how: if it does not belong to the present legal owners, many of whom at all events have bought their estates, or inherited from those who did, it can belong to the man who has only leased it, perhaps only a few months ago, is more than we have ever been able to comprehend.Nor is the difficulty cleared up by the formula of Mr.Beecher, thal the land should belong to the men who till it.Whio tills it, when the lessee employs labourers?If the fact oË being the tiller of land constitutes a title to its ownerebip, it is obvious tbat the distribution must be much wider, and the shares of each holder more minute than would arise from the vague propositions of Mr.Parnell.What, again, is to happen on this rule, when a man has been at once owner and tiller, but has grown ten infirm to till?Is h> then to cease also to own?Or let ua take it that hereditary and customary leasehold is supposed to give some title, then wbo is to enjoy it, if the late leaseholder bas left more than one child?One, we way suppose, has become a blacksmith or carpenter, the other bas remained on the farm, taking over the old lease.Perhaps one is & daughter.Apparently oma would have the same right as the other to whatever benefit arose from this kind of title.But till lately the only men in favour of whose claims we have heard any advocacy are the existing tenants.Many of these may represent families who have long held their farms by leases, though cven then not all the family ; but a great many of them mast be on the farms only by what may be called accident.Now, however, we perceive that the consequences of Mr.Parnell\u2019s agitation are being pushed to their legitimate result, and it is being asserted that gtenants of houses and lodgings are entitled to withhold their rents, to say what they will like to pay, or in the long run probably to demand that, being the tenants of houscs, they shall become the owners of them, just like the farm tenants, or better still like the tillers of the farms.I: looks to us as if this was au least logical | starting from the Parnell premises.But it has very far-reaching effects on both sides of the Atlantic.There are on this continent few very large agrical- tural estates; but a great many houses, hitherto supposed to belong to their reputed owners.TeE LorTERY BUSINESS IN NEw Yorx.\u2014The Charity Commissioners of New York demand $100,000, being a prize drawn in the Louisiana

the President be auther- ized tocall an Internatienal Sanitary Conference at Washington, to which the powers having jurisdiction of the parts likely to be infected by yellow fever shall be invited to send delegates.The establishment of new quarantine and inspection stations is also recommended.It is the opinion of the Board that during the present winter, at all points where the fever prevailed last summer, care shonld be taken to get therough ventilation.It is also advised that $100.000 be appropriated to hold in reserve for an emergency of epidemie.DANGEROUS STATISTICS\u2014The Government, it is said, are now refusing to permit the publication of the Inland Revenue receipts in Torento, probably, as they said at St.John, for fear the result should be so poor as to show that no public money ought to be spent, where the contributions to the Cuneolidated Revenue are s0 small !

the stock will recover on its true merits, and then another scare will be created by a newly- designed telegram.Why do you not receive these reports also?Or can it be that the Gazette\u2019s © correspondent \u201d goes short on City Gas Stock ?I saw a letter from a correspondent, a few days since, in New York, who is well qualified to speak on the subject, saying that this Edison scheme is a gigantic stock-jobbing enterprise.I simply give this for what it is worth.The quotations for Electric Light Company's stock must be taken cum grano salis, more espe cially as there is no Company.The name of the Company whose stock has reached a valuable premium is the Edison Invention Company, and includes the Telephone; but until they acquired the patent rights of the Bell invention their stock was worth comparatively nothing, Yours, Wipe Awake, Montreal, January 10, 1880.LIEUT.CARKY.To the Editor of the MON RELL HERALD.Sir, Your paper the other day contained a letter from \u201c X Y.Z\u201d charging this officer with cowardice, and in proof it quoted a writer to the Devonshire Weekly Times, while ignoring the favourable testimony of such men as Dr.W.H.Russell and Mr.Archibald Forbes Of course \u201c X, Y.Z\u201d must be a brave man, decorated with medals no doubt, for distinguished service, not foreign, that is understood\u2014but for home service, you know\u2014for « smelling fire \u201d when the feet have been in that most comfortable of all positiong\u2014on the fender.BALACLAVA.Montreal, January 10, 1880.AMUSEMENTS.ACADEMY OF MUSIC.\u201c\u2018 CHIMES OF NORMANDY.\u201d The Holman Opera Company appear at the above house to-night in the * Chimes of Normandy.\u201d Such a beautiful and pleasing opera, given by so good a company, cannot fail to attract a full house of our music-loving citizens.No words of ours can add to the justly-merited reputation for careful acting the Holman\u2019s have gained wherever they have appeared.The leading members of the company are also Canadian, and should receive from the hands of their countrymen a warm and hearty welcome.We advise all our readers to go and see the * Chimes,\u201d WRATHER REPORT.Montreal, January 10.TEMPERATURE\u2014In the shade by Standard Thermometer observed by Hearn, Harrison & Co., Opticians and Mathematical Instrument Makers, 242 & 244 Notre Dame Street :\u2014 8 au.1 pu 6 P.M.36° 25° 24° Max.Mix.MEAN.87° 24° 30°5 BY STANDARD BAROMETKR.8 AM.1 PM.6 P.M 30.05 30 38 3.1.60 DEATHS.On the 9th instant, after a short illness, Louis Rene Hudon, son of Victor Hudun, Esq., aged 26 years and 3 months.Fiiends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend tuneral from his father\u2019s regidence, No.8) German street, on Monday, the 12th instant, at half past eight.Brarrawarre.\u2014At 206 St.Denis street, on Saturday, 10th instant, Mary Dufy McCummive, widow of the late Rev.Joseph Rraithwaite, formerly of Chambly, aged 93 years and 9 months.The funeral will take place from her lat e residence this day, (Monday,) 12th instant, #t 2 o'clock P.M.Friends and acquaintances a-e respectfully invited to attend without fur: her notice.Few Advertisent en Ia FOR SALE, A.Newtoundland Dog, (pure breed ;) very large;

communication from General Roberts he is declared to have exhibited no disposition to listen to a proposition looking to compromise.Mohammed is believed to have bern reinforced by several thousand of Shere Ali\u2019s regulars, from whom cannon were probably obtained.He hus ass med a political as well as military authority, and is col- ecting revenues in the name of Musa Khan, whom he pretends to regard as che rightful reigning Ameer, though temporarily kept out of his capitol by he British, He has sent emisssries to Turkestan commissioned to stir uo the the people there to engage wn immediate

Probably be the ticket itself, which the ies of a oertain class of political esono- mists, we surprise at reading the following in a Philadelphia paper, which, being published in the most Protectionist community of the United States, ie also the most Protectionist of that community\u2019s newspapers :\u2014 Ag for annexation, it is \u201c probable that by the time the United \u201c States is willing to tolerate it the \u2018¢ Canadians will be clamorous for it; \u201c but at the present time this country \u201cfeels as if it were quite spacions \u201c enough for proper government.It \u201c\u2018 does not need Canada now except as \u201ca market for certain of its prodncts, \u201c and Canada needs it very much as a \u2018\u2018 market to buy from, not to sell to.\u201cWe can afford to maintain a Tariff \u201claw against the New Dominion be- \u201c cause she produces few things which « we require; and she cannot afford \u201csuch a law because we produce so \u201cmuch that her people must have, \u201c which they cannot do without, and \u201c which consequently they must \u201cget ne cheaply as possible.\u201d And again, in the same issue of the same paper, \u201cG:rmany\u2019s new Tariff laws \u201c are not working as profitably as they \u2018 were expected to do by Prince Bismarck, their author, 8) far as they \u201c were aimed against the imports from \u201c America they wore little less than ¢ suicidal.What the neighbonring \u201c* countries export to Germany she can \u201c very readily do without in the main, * but nearly everything that we export \u2018\u201c she cannot do without at all.We \u201csend her chiefly breadstuffs, bacon, * canned vegetables und fruits and pe- \u201c troleum, and the duly which she im- \u201c poses upon these things must be paid by \u201c her own people solely.\u201d Thue, when any other nation is concerned, our Pennsylvania contemporary can sce,us clearly a8 anybody else, the truth which lies at bottom of the whole question of fiscal policy, and which dstermices that question against the system of which it is 89 fond.In tha cases of Canada and Germany ic set forth, succinctly and convincingly.that it is the consumer who pays any import duty which the State impos-s, and it tbinks that the Government of neither of these States can thus afford to inflict burdens on its subjects.Yet that is just what it insists that its own Government should do upon theciti- zens of the United States.It is all very well to say that food is a iccessary which must not bs taxed, and that the United States do mot require to import food.Even that weak plea would not cover the inconsistency exbibited in the case of Canada ; becanse we do not im= port more food from the Stats than they import from us\u2014perhaps not quite so much, if we take into account only what is not intended for reshipment.But food is not the only necessary of civilized man: To go no farther, he must have clothes, and he must Lave metals just as much as he must have victuale, and these things are cruelly taxed by our neighbours.Perhaps 1t may be said that their people are richer than Canadians and Germans, and hence can stand an amount of Custom Huse robbery which would rnin other countries.But large classes of a nation, if they could perosive the facts as plain y as an individual does those which concern himself particularly, would not ea - dure to be robbed of a considerable part of their earnings, merely beciunss the whole is not taken away from them.It is, therefore, silly for Americans to read lessons of free-trade to others, or to draw conclusions as to the necessity of others avoiding the follics to which they themselves 80 strongly adhere.They must reform themselves before they preach elsewhere.We need say nothing about the annexation twaddle in the above extract.\u2014e HOUSE RENTS IN IRELAND, One can understand the theoretical idea that the property of a country should belong to the country, that is, as you choose to put i:, to the Government, or to the entire people whom the Government represents.Bat:how: if it does not belong to the present legal owners, many of whom at all events have bought their estates, or inherited from those who did, it can belong to the man who has only leased it, perhaps only a few months ago, is more than we have ever been able to comprehend.Nor is the difficulty cleared up by the formula of Mr.Beecher, thal the land should belong to the men who till it.Whio tills it, when the lessee employs labourers?If the fact oË being the tiller of land constitutes a title to its ownerebip, it is obvious tbat the distribution must be much wider, and the shares of each holder more minute than would arise from the vague propositions of Mr.Parnell.What, again, is to happen on this rule, when a man has been at once owner and tiller, but has grown ten infirm to till?Is h> then to cease also to own?Or let ua take it that hereditary and customary leasehold is supposed to give some title, then wbo is to enjoy it, if the late leaseholder bas left more than one child?One, we way suppose, has become a blacksmith or carpenter, the other bas remained on the farm, taking over the old lease.Perhaps one is & daughter.Apparently oma would have the same right as the other to whatever benefit arose from this kind of title.But till lately the only men in favour of whose claims we have heard any advocacy are the existing tenants.Many of these may represent families who have long held their farms by leases, though cven then not all the family ; but a great many of them mast be on the farms only by what may be called accident.Now, however, we perceive that the consequences of Mr.Parnell\u2019s agitation are being pushed to their legitimate result, and it is being asserted that gtenants of houses and lodgings are entitled to withhold their rents, to say what they will like to pay, or in the long run probably to demand that, being the tenants of houscs, they shall become the owners of them, just like the farm tenants, or better still like the tillers of the farms.I: looks to us as if this was au least logical | starting from the Parnell premises.But it has very far-reaching effects on both sides of the Atlantic.There are on this continent few very large agrical- tural estates; but a great many houses, hitherto supposed to belong to their reputed owners.TeE LorTERY BUSINESS IN NEw Yorx.\u2014The Charity Commissioners of New York demand $100,000, being a prize drawn in the Louisiana

the President be auther- ized tocall an Internatienal Sanitary Conference at Washington, to which the powers having jurisdiction of the parts likely to be infected by yellow fever shall be invited to send delegates.The establishment of new quarantine and inspection stations is also recommended.It is the opinion of the Board that during the present winter, at all points where the fever prevailed last summer, care shonld be taken to get therough ventilation.It is also advised that $100.000 be appropriated to hold in reserve for an emergency of epidemie.DANGEROUS STATISTICS\u2014The Government, it is said, are now refusing to permit the publication of the Inland Revenue receipts in Torento, probably, as they said at St.John, for fear the result should be so poor as to show that no public money ought to be spent, where the contributions to the Cuneolidated Revenue are s0 small !

the stock will recover on its true merits, and then another scare will be created by a newly- designed telegram.Why do you not receive these reports also?Or can it be that the Gazette\u2019s © correspondent \u201d goes short on City Gas Stock ?I saw a letter from a correspondent, a few days since, in New York, who is well qualified to speak on the subject, saying that this Edison scheme is a gigantic stock-jobbing enterprise.I simply give this for what it is worth.The quotations for Electric Light Company's stock must be taken cum grano salis, more espe cially as there is no Company.The name of the Company whose stock has reached a valuable premium is the Edison Invention Company, and includes the Telephone; but until they acquired the patent rights of the Bell invention their stock was worth comparatively nothing, Yours, Wipe Awake, Montreal, January 10, 1880.LIEUT.CARKY.To the Editor of the MON RELL HERALD.Sir, Your paper the other day contained a letter from \u201c X Y.Z\u201d charging this officer with cowardice, and in proof it quoted a writer to the Devonshire Weekly Times, while ignoring the favourable testimony of such men as Dr.W.H.Russell and Mr.Archibald Forbes Of course \u201c X, Y.Z\u201d must be a brave man, decorated with medals no doubt, for distinguished service, not foreign, that is understood\u2014but for home service, you know\u2014for « smelling fire \u201d when the feet have been in that most comfortable of all positiong\u2014on the fender.BALACLAVA.Montreal, January 10, 1880.AMUSEMENTS.ACADEMY OF MUSIC.\u201c\u2018 CHIMES OF NORMANDY.\u201d The Holman Opera Company appear at the above house to-night in the * Chimes of Normandy.\u201d Such a beautiful and pleasing opera, given by so good a company, cannot fail to attract a full house of our music-loving citizens.No words of ours can add to the justly-merited reputation for careful acting the Holman\u2019s have gained wherever they have appeared.The leading members of the company are also Canadian, and should receive from the hands of their countrymen a warm and hearty welcome.We advise all our readers to go and see the * Chimes,\u201d WRATHER REPORT.Montreal, January 10.TEMPERATURE\u2014In the shade by Standard Thermometer observed by Hearn, Harrison & Co., Opticians and Mathematical Instrument Makers, 242 & 244 Notre Dame Street :\u2014 8 au.1 pu 6 P.M.36° 25° 24° Max.Mix.MEAN.87° 24° 30°5 BY STANDARD BAROMETKR.8 AM.1 PM.6 P.M 30.05 30 38 3.1.60 DEATHS.On the 9th instant, after a short illness, Louis Rene Hudon, son of Victor Hudun, Esq., aged 26 years and 3 months.Fiiends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend tuneral from his father\u2019s regidence, No.8) German street, on Monday, the 12th instant, at half past eight.Brarrawarre.\u2014At 206 St.Denis street, on Saturday, 10th instant, Mary Dufy McCummive, widow of the late Rev.Joseph Rraithwaite, formerly of Chambly, aged 93 years and 9 months.The funeral will take place from her lat e residence this day, (Monday,) 12th instant, #t 2 o'clock P.M.Friends and acquaintances a-e respectfully invited to attend without fur: her notice.Few Advertisent en Ia FOR SALE, A.Newtoundland Dog, (pure breed ;) very large;

ex- Ameer, bas occuvied the fortress of Ghuznai with a streng force.Mohammed is said to bave (welve guns.A serious struggle is anticipated in case of an attempt to dislodge him.In reply to & communication from General Roberts he is declared to have exhibited no disposition to listen to a proposition looking to compromise.Mohammed is believed to have bern reinforced by several thousand of Shere Ali\u2019s regulars, from whom cannon were probably obtained.He hus ass med a political as well as military authority, and is col- ecting revenues in the name of Musa Khan, whom he pretends to regard as che rightful reigning Ameer, though temporarily kept out of his capitol by he British, He has sent emisssries to Turkestan commissioned to stir uo the the people there to engage wn immediate warfare upon the British as the common enemy.\u2018The probabilities are that, on account of his high reputation as a soldier and as & commander, he will bave no inconsiderable success in raising

the insurgents and is the strong- eat fortress in the country.No eff.rts .are proposed towards its capture.It is held here to besignificant of the existing situation of the British in Afghanistan.The
