mentioned) a net increase for the past year of.$ 40,870 It may not be out of place here to'say;that, in looking where the increase in revenue was derived, the first large item was from sugar.The imports of this article were, via the St.Lawrence, in 1878, over twelve millions pounds, say.12,289,843 1bs.and in 1879.0.00.00.000.64, 875,656\u2018 an increase of.aovoo0ss 52,085,813 \u201c and which yielded to the revenue $7,800 more than the previous year.To bring this quantity of eugar to our wharves there were employed (besides partial cargoes) no less than 45 vessels laden with sugar, aggregating 20,731 tons, and whoee tonnage dues yielded to the harbour a revenue of $4,552, while it may be safely estimated that the outward wharfage dues paid on thesa vessels was not less than $5,000 more.The quantity of iron imported exceeds that of last year by nearly 44,000 tonr, yielding a revenue of $11,000.The tonnage dues would also be considerable, as well as the outward wharfage dues, but the exact particulars it has not been possible to obtain.Coal is another large item of increase, the imports via the harbour for 1879 being.189,231 tons and for the previous year.142,764 *¢

additional reveaue derivable from this source is on coal, $4,600 ; and the increase of tonnage and the wharfage outward will make this item at least as much more.These articles make up a very large part of the increase in the revenue, and demonstrate clearly the advantage of inward freights in bringing tonnage to the port.The insurance on the plant bas been consolidated, divided among eight Companies in equal parts, and a saving to the Trust of about $1,200 a year has been effected.The statements of the Harbour Master, Captain Rudolph, are very carefully compiled.These show the ecean tonnage to British and foreign ports, the Maritime Provinces, and the inland or local traffic.They may be condensed ns follows : \u2014 Vessels, Tons.Increase, British and forelgn\u2014'S78.351

of one half the breadth of the new channel through the rock at Cap la Roche, affording at,least a depth of 19 feet 6 in, with an addition of 14 ft.to 10 ît., according to the time of year and state of tide, and giving an increased depth of about 3 ft.over that in the old channel at the same point.In Lake St.Peter, which is still the most extensive, though not the most formidable part of the work, nearly one-third of the whole length of the dredging bas been carried down to the full depth at Contreccear a new Chars nel, about one-third of the length, is also complsted to the same depth, and important improvements have been made at Levrant, Champlain and other points.The cost of maintaining and working the dredging fleet for the year is $137,253, which compares favourably with the expenditures of previous yeare.MONTREAL HARBOUR.The principal works in the Harbour are the further deepening and improvement of the Ship Channel within the Harbeur, to keep pace with the deepening in the River below ; the extension upwards of the Windmill Point Basin and Wharf ; alterations in the line of the wharves in Sections 13 and 14, by which some 30,000 feet area of land space is reclaimed and improved wharfage obtained for large steamships ; the rebuilding of the inner side of the Is land Wharf in deep water and the dredging out of the whole basin ; the deepening of the Basin of Sections 16 and 178 (D:- mion and London Steamship berths), and also the renewal of a considerable part of Victoria Pier above water.The expenditure for dredging in the Harbour for the year has been $41,006 for a quantity of 189,600 yards, which, compared with previous years, shows a s'eady decrease of cost and increase of work.Permission was granted, as a trisl, to lay a railway track over the wharves at Hochelaga and across the river, within the jurisdiction of the Commissioners, towards Longueuil.This is now an sccomplished fact.The experiment so far seems to be successful, and it is to be hoped that no difficulty in taking the track will be felt, and that it will be safely removed before the break, Permission was also granted to the St.Lawrence and Pacific Ferry Co.te cut the ice between the Longueuil Ferry wharf and Ile Ronde, where they propose to put on a steamboat, connecting by a bridge from Ile Bonde to Longueuil shore.They hope to run summer and winter, carrying freight cars across.This proposal ia also a novel one.In eo for as it appears this winter the project seems feasible, and, should it prove successful, will ne doubt be of advantage to the Railways making connection, as well as increasing the revenues of the harbour.As considerable discussion haa lately taken place regarding our harbour dues, pilotage, towage, and elevating charges, as bearing on the interests of the Port, I have takem some trouble to obtain as much information on the respective questions as the time and circumstances would allow.In order to put the facts before you as clearly as possible, Ibave selected the last decade, and, for purpose of comparison, have taken the years 1870, 1874 and 1879, being five years respectively betweau them.Let it, however, be borne in mind that the year 1874 was the culminating point in the history of our harbour, that being, up to that time, the year of greatest tonnage and greatest revenue that bad been obtained.The year 1879, ending the decade, shows the largest tonnage over any previous year; the revenue, however, being under that of 1874.Let me now call your attention to the following statement, which, in the first place deals with steam vessels to British and Foreign Ports, Second, to sailing vessels to B.itish and Foreign Porta, Third, to steamers to the Maritime Provinces.Fourth, to sailing vessels to the Maritime Provinces.STEAM VESSELS TO BRITISH AND FOREIGN PORTS.« No.of Ton- Average Year.vessels.nage.size.1870.92 115,320 1,253 1874.166 316,920 1,807 1879.226 851,889 1,637 Percentage of increase, 205 per

0 8/0.It will be observed that from the decade, 1870 to 1879, the increase of steamers to British and Foreign Ports has been 205 per cent., while the sailing vessels have in the same time fallen off 25 per cent.I merely call your attention to the fact, leaving you to judge whether this falling off in sailing vessels ia only applicable to this port in consequence of our towage, pilotage and other charges, or whether it may not be largely attributed to the fact that steamers, not only at this port, but elsewhere are largely superseding sailing vessels.Now let us look at the vessels to the Maritime Provinces, while those to Europe and elsewhere show an increase in steam and a similar decrease in mailing vessels; steamers to the Maritime Provinces increased from 1870 to 1874 nearly 150 per cent.; since then they have gradually fallen away till they now stand at 42 per cent.increase on 1870; sailing vessels, which show about § per cent.gain from 1870 to 1874, now show 37 per.cent, less since the last named period.I am not prepared to say that this decrease in tonnage to the Maritime Provinces is due to, but it must be largely caused by, the facility which the Intercolonial Railway is affording to the trade, The local vessels show an increased tonnage of 14 per cent.between the years 1870 and 1879.This increase has almost all been gained since 1874.(The year 1879 alone showing an increase of 7 per cent.) The revenue derived from harbour dues or local traffic was $63,265 in 1874, against $55,080 in 1879, or a reduction of 124 per cent.This shows that the vessels cannot be carrying so many goods as formerly, and this is also probably to be accounted for by the opening of the railway system on the north shore of the St.Lawrence.PILOTAGE.The pilotage charges below Qnebec are divided among the pilots equally, irrespective of their individual earnings ; the amount earned by each going into one common fund.The number of pilots this year, among whom the fund waa divided, was 188, and their average earnings was $488.The previous year their earnings averaged $455.The pilotage between Quebec and Montreal is under the jurisdiction of the Harbour Commissioners of Montreal, and may be said to have been conducted last year by 39 pilots, although 43 were oa the list, The earnings of these 39 pilots yielded an average of $962.The highest amount received was $1,771, and the lowest was $650.The earnings for the previous year averaged $726 each, the highest being $1,757, and the lowest $500.In using the word lowest in these instances it is supposed the pilots have been working through the year, as sometimes illness, suspension or other causes interfere with the earnings of the pilots ; these ave, therefore, not included in the average.The difference between the earnings of the pilots below Quebec and those between Quebec and Montreal, it will be observed, is very considerable.The system of division in common below Quebec appears to be very questionable, as it deprives a hardworking man of bis due share of the earnings, the drone receiving as much, has no incentive to do his duty, and it has been stated that in bad weather they are very apt to shirk their work.This does mot apply to the pilots above Quebec, who receive their own earnings ; the average earnings show that the pilotage above Quebec is too high, If this is the case, some modification should, if possible, be entertained: It has been suggested that vessels between Quebeo and Montreal, when in tow of a steamer, should not be obliged to take a pilot.It is thought that this charge might be saved by making it compulsory for all tugs, towing vessels, to carry branch pilots.\u2018This subjeet is receiving the earnest consideration cf the Board, but as yet no deflnite decision has been arrived at.In order that a more equal distribution of the earnings among the pilots should take place, it has been suggested that the regular lines employing pilots should distribute their favours more equally among the pilots.This is strongly recommended to vessel owners, not only in justice to the pilots but to themselves.TOWAGE.Some years ago, say 1876, a tariff for towage of vessels was established between Quebec and Montreal.The towage below Quebec has been practically carried on without a tarif, eaca party making their own bargains ; the tariff being between Quebec and Montreal, and vice versa.For the last two or three years this tariff has not been adhered to, therates having been 80 much lowered that, by the tug owners, they are declared to ba ruinously low.I have obtained a list of the amounts paid for towage on 80 vessels, of a tonnage of 47,477 tons, averaging 593 tons each, which visited the port during the last two years; 18 vessels, 13,080 tons, having been towed from Quebec, and the balance \u201462 vessels, 35,023 tons, from places ranging from 28 to 260 miles below Quebec.The cost of towage of the 18 veesels referred to, wouid have been under the tariff, $16,615, but the actual amount paid was only $5,340, or less than one-third of the published tariff.The cost of the towage of 62 vessels was $24,053, and the average distance towed was 160 miles below Quebec, and assuming that the same proportionate rate was charged as from Quebec to Montreal Tariff, the cost would have been $77,068.As already explained, there being practically no tarift below mes .LOL UXXIT-NO, 37 | MONTREAL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1820.___._ Price 3 Cents aicinmnship Zlotices, £rotessionar Cards.- MONTREAL STUCK LIST, ing up of the ice in the spring.Quebec, each vessel has; to make its own bargain when being towed from wherever the tug meets her, either to Quebec or to Montreal.Any tariff, therefore, which may be made, should, if possible, include the towage below Quebec, as well as Quebec to Montrealwould agree to and publish a reasonable maximum tariff, it would help to prevent overcharges being made on casual vessels, who are said to be frequently imposed on by want of knowledge.This seems to be now the chief source of complaint, the captains of regular traders being sufficiently posted so that they can take care of themselves when making their arrangements with the tugs.There is no doubt that the rates charged by the tug owners, during the last two years, has been disastrous to them as a class.It seems clear that cheaper rates than have prevailed during that time can hardly be expected.It has been suggested by a deputation of the Board of Trade, at a conference held lately, that the different existing Tug-boat Companies be invited to unite in forming an effective service between Quebec and Montreal and to frame a tariff on the minimum charge for towage last year, and that the Commiesioners grant to such combimation a subsidy, if necessary, in order to secure a cheap and effective service.Failing this, it might be advisable to ask Parliament for power to build tugs to be worked by the Commissioners, or by a/Company.The power, if granted, would be only permissive,~~to be used only when circumstances rendered it imperative.These suggestions will have the due consideration of the Board.In considering the towage question, it has generally been stated that vessels of small burden, say under 600 tons, to carry grain to the outports of Great Britain, and calling at Cork for orders, are of paramount importance, and that hundreds of vessels only wait a reasonable rate of towage to come here.I have already called your attention to the fact that the tonnage of sailing vessels had decreased from 1870 to 1879, 25 per cent., while steawers had increased 205 per cent.The sailing vessels under 600 tons which sailed from the port in 1870 with grain cargoes for outports, or for orders, were 140 vessels.Total tonnage, 46,948, averaging 315 tons per vessel.The num-~ ber of vessels in 1879 was 98, total tonnage 40,244 tons, averaging 411 tous each.Thus showing a decrease of tonnage of barely 15 per cent., as against the 25 per cent.of reduction in sailing vessels of all sizes coming to the port.It will be noted that the size of these small vessels has in- cressed nearlylone-third in the decade, and, as has been shown, the tendency is in every class of vessel to an increase of size, while the immense increase of steam tonnage is no doubt gradually year by year helping to solve the problem of towage between Quebec and Montreal.The exports of grain were :\u2014 In 1870.18,501,310 bushels, veers 16,789,580 \u201c I879.\u2026.vscusase 22,755,946 \u2018 The largest quantity hitherto shipped, being an increase of 67 per cent.in the decade, which, if not such an increase of rati as some of the other Atlantic ports which are open all the year round, yet shows that we are making substantial progress, RAILWAYS.\u2014It is reported that Vanderbilts com= pact with the Erie was signed by himself as President of the Lake Shore road, instead of the Central, The Lake Shore is an Ohio Corporation.Vanderbilt thus avoids a violation of the New York law prohibiting any such combination.\u2014The N.Y.Tribane says it is reported that persons interested in the re-organized New York and Oswego Railroad intend to secure ten millions by assessments on stock holders, to be devoted to securing commec- tions and terminal facilities for a new trunk line to the fwest.It is reported persons interested in this road are seeking to control the Rochester and State Line road.CORN EXCHANGE REPORS Thursday, Februaru 12.Wheat in Chicago, declined jc.Brkrsonm®s Apvioes\u2014Floating Cargoes \u2014Wheat, upward tendency; Corn,

will be allowed to assist in ministering in Catholic Church in Mass, benediction and preaching, but not to be admitted to parochial functions, especially confession.Males and fomales in the Anglican religious orders are to pass through their novitiate under experienced superiors appointed by Bowe.A special Metropoliter, gerhaps Cardinal Manning, is to be consecrated by the Pope for the govern- aneut of re-ordained Anglican clergy.For the present the parts of the service outside of the Mass are to be allowed in the ver- aacular.The younger clergy are to take the usual vows of celibacy when

gold lace, and one or two other Ministers in a smaller quantity of the precious metals, have shone out upon the crowd in the Senate Chamber.The ladies, glorious in satin, diamonds, low- necked dresses, pretty shouwlders and faces have been seep, and have seen their sisters in equally charming array.Col.Gzowski has appeared at the right band of His Excellency, where Col.Dyde would, we suppose, also have been \\ but for the accident which has recently befailen him.The Usher of the Black Rod bas made his three bows or obeisances, for bows is hardly a word big enough for these ponderous reverences, The gues have fired and the bands have played.< Our trusty and wells beloved cousin,\u201d commonly called the Marquis of Lorne, after sitting qaietly for a quarter of a hour, has been joined by the Princess Louise, and has then read in both languages, a speech written for him by Sir John A.Macdonald, and whick has reached him through the medium of one of his aides-de-camp.Finally, more bowing, more dramming, and Parliament is opened.The Speech is only a very small part of the show, and as the opening of Parliament is a show, the least important part of it, that of yesterday, may have been drawn with a little more or a little less skill than some which have preceded at.Its meaning is neither more nor less than theirs.We ail knew that we had enjoyed a good harvest, we all compassionate the distress in Ireland, and are all willing to offer something te alleviate the suffering of our fellow- subjects in that country; we are all equally glad that the millions of dollars which a mercifal Providence has dropped on our heads, in 1he way of a crop, has saved us from general bankruptcy.The Banking laws must, of course, be in some way renewed as they are about to expire, and the same may be said of the Bankrupt laws.These measures were known to form part of the business which Parliament must transact at the present session.It was also well understood, though without any necessity that the public can perceive for it, that Sir Alexander Galt was to be conciliated by a pleasant appointment in England.For the rest, a number of unimportant measures are announced, which may or may not be carried, and, if they are carried out, will not be of any considerable importance except to the interests specially concerned.We do net complain of this.Speeches from the Throne have, for a long time, been made as meaningless as possible, and this is no exception.The announcement of a saving of expenses on the Intercolonial Railway requires to be sifted before we know whether the savings of to-day will not entail a doubled or trebled expenditure for renewals next year ; and the clause about the revenue, whatever it may mean, must be taken into connection with two obvious facts \u2014that, with much larger charges on the public, the revenue has not reached anything like the amount calculated on by the Finance Minister ; that, for the first seven months of the fiscal year, the figures in the Official azette of the revenue and the expenditure show the deficit to be more thveat- ening than ever.OPENING OF THE GERMAN REICHSTAG, \u2014AÂt the opening 0° the German Reichstag yesterday (Thursday), the Speech from the Throne stated that the relations of the Government with all foreign Powers was peaceful.Confidence was felt in the maintenance of peace through the labours of the Berlin Congress, which had been upheld, and the stipulations of the Treaty of Berlin executed in nearly all points.The Empire would sedulously and unselfishly, and, conscious of its own power, continue to participate in endeavours to secure lasting peace for Europe in consonance with the pacific disposition of its peuple, and would endeavour to procure the cooperation ard guarantee of Powers similarly disposed.The principal measures for legislation announced are a Bill for establishing biennial Budgets, a new Military Law, the prolongation of the law against the Socialists, and for a Commercial Treaty with the South Sea Islands.The Speech justifies the Mili~ tary Law as a measure of security, necessitated by the increased armaments of neighbouring countries.SIGNIFICANT.\u2014The semi-official North German Gazette of Berlin, referring to the warlike interpretation by the French newspapers of the German Army Bill Says :-\u2018\u201c The French army estimates for 1870 were barely 500,000,000 francs ; they now exceed 900,000,000.The French army is better armed, numerically stronger than the German army.The Russian army has also been considerably increased.From the language of some French monarchical journal it would appear certain that if the parties they represent obtained Power, they would immediately plunge France into war.Germany, though earnestly peace- loving, must follow the example unfortunately set by her neighbours.Germany\u2019s army is her weapon of defence and not of attack.We would be very glad if the same could be said with certainty of the armies of onr neighbours.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 INDICATIONS OF THE SESSION.=Already the prominent members of the Opposition have indicated their intention, in the first place, to enquire into the plan upon which contracts have been awarded and carried out, commencing with the Carillon Canal works, which, according to all accounts, have been made to do great service in the late Argenteuil election to the Hon.Mr.Abbott, besides being given out ina manner that indicates needless extravagance, if nothing more.Sir Richard Cartwright, too, has shown that he proposes to investigate the working of the National Policy, and will doubtless have little difficulty in showing how far the Finance Minister's anticipations have failed to be realized.Tae FisuERY

that Her Majesty\u2019s Government will enter ere long into negotiations with foreign nations on the subject of their trade and commercial relations, demand our closest attention and watch- falness, while the rapid development of the Dominien is continually giving rise to important matters requiring the support and action of the Imperial Government.With the concurrence of Her Majesty, I therefore recommend you to sanction the appointment of a prominent representative of Canada in London te guard her various interests.The subjects I have mentioned are of great importance.I commend them, with

appointment of Mr.Macpherson to the Senate on personal grounds.Without, perbaps, having the technical knowledge which fita a lawyer, and especially for deciding the questions which are sometimes referred to the Speakers, he possesses a long Parliamentary experience, and the success of many mnon- professional Speakers shows that there is no real difficulty in the way of a sensible man, willing to work a little, and used to the routine of Parliament, acquitting himself with satisfaction to the Chamber over which he presides.Ia other respects, Mr.Macpherson is all that can be desired.There are, however, other considerations which may affect the minds of some members of the dominant party less favourably than the Speaker's personal capacity.In the first place, it was understood that Mr.Wilmot, though not a very strong man, Was taken into the Cabinet in order TO GIVE MR.TILLEY\u2019S PROVINCE TWO MEMBERS, lt will \u2018now have enly \u201cone, while Oatario gains an additional member in the Cubinet, and one who may be supposed not likely to permit any of her claims to be passed over in silence.Then it will, no doubt, seem to some that even the Speakership should be continued in Lower Province hands ; considering that since Confederation that part of the Dominion has supplied a man for that honour during a very short time, and it happens that there are two Seaators who may be said to have special qualifications, besides the circumstance that they hail from the East.Of all the Senators Mr.Botsford possesses the highest reputation for his knowledge of the Les Parliamentaria.He is à man of distinguished presence, GREAT DIGNITY AND OLD-WORLD COURTESY.Moreover, being a New Branswicker, he would have exactly fitted the hole from whence Mr.Wilmot went ous.Bat he is an aged man, and might, perhaps, decline on that account.Probably, except for that consideration, he is the man who, local jealousies apart, would have received the greatest number of votes if the Senate elected its own Speaker.But then we bave Mr.Dickey, not a New Brunswicker, but still one of the representatives of the Maritime group of Provinces.Without being go distinguished as a parliamentarian as Mr.Botsford, he is a lawyer and man of experience, and, perhaps as an authority, would be generally placed second in the list of specially competent men\u2014competent from his even temper and fairness, as well as of his knowledge of the forms of Parliamentary business.Itis quite possible also that OUR OWN PROVINCIAL REPRESENTATIVES HOUSE OF COMMONS.The SPEAKER took the Chair at three o'clock.Shortly afterwards the Usher of the Black Rod notified the House that the Governor-General desired their attendance in the Senate Chamber.After returning, the Speaker notified the House of the several vacancies that had occurred during the recess, and the result of the elections in the several constituencies.The following new members were then introduced : Mr.Bernard Wale, by Hon.Mr.Langevin and Mr.Thompson (Cari boo) ; Mr.Jos.Royal (Provencher), by Sir Chas.Tupper aud Hon.Mr.Masson ; Mr, Beauchesne (Bonaventure).by Hon.H.L.Langevin and Dr.Fortier ; Mr.Vanasse (Yamaska), by Hon.Mr.Masson and Mr.Massue ; Mr.McLeod (Cape Breton), by\u201d Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.McKay ; Mr, Bargin (Cornwall), by Sir Chas.Tupper and McLellan ; Hon.Edward Blake (West Durham), by Hon.D.Mills and Mr.Bechard (cheers from both sides of the House) ; Mr.Macdonell {(North Lanark), by Hon.Mr.Mackenzie and Hon.Mr.Geoffrion.Sir JOHN MACDONALD introduced the formal Bill respecting the administration of oaths of office.The SPEAKER informed tue House that he had received a copy of the Speech from the Throne from His Excellency the Goverer-General, Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved that the Speech be taken into consideration tomorrow.\u2014Carried.The usual motion for the sppointing of the Standing Committees was then adopted.operas are well known io the drawing-rooms of 48 well as ou the streets of all the large may think they have a right to a turn when they can put forward such candidates as Mr.Trudel or Mr.De Boucherville before the office went again to Ontario.Notwithstanding these reasons, however, Mr.Macpherson\u2019s appointment is a good one.There is some little fun going between the New Brunswick and Prince Edward\u2019s Island men, growing out of the nomination of Mr.Carvell to the Senate.He is essentially a New Brunswicker.New Brunswick lost representatives when Prince Edward came into the Confederation, in order to give part of the Maritime Province quota to the Island.It is now said that New Brunswick, in th: person of Mr, Carvell, bas regained its old number of Senators.The appointment was very unpopular in Prince Edward.OPENING OF THE DOMINION PARLIAMERT.FOURTH PARLIAMENT\u2014SECOND SESSION.From our Own Correspondent.- Ottawa, February 12, The Senate Chamber was crowded to its utmost extent long before the

between the parties engaged in the prosecution of the prisoners charged with the Donnelly murder.John Darcy or Dorsey was brought from gael tg,the Central Station, aud discharged from custody on the application of his counsel, Mr.MacMahor, as no evidence has been fcund to support the charge, It is understood that other persons now in durgnce will be also discharged.The prisoners were visited to-day by the reporters, They were found with the morning papers reading the evidence of the boy O'Connor given at the inquest yesterday.The three implicated by his statement were separated.James Carroll remarking upon the evidence said the boy goes pretty strong for me.He appears much depressed at the revelations.He is a young man of 28 years.The prisoners are supplied with threa square meals a day from the City Hotel, and are well satisfied with their treatment.The tragedy is still the prevailing topic of public conversation.Wm.Donnelly has been in town all dayin full communication with the police.Lucan, February 13, The prisoner, Martin McLaughlin, and his family have been living in the township for several years.He is ahout 46 years of age, married, and bas a family of three dr four children.Reports generall; give him the very best of characters, and the fact of his being appointed one of Her Majesty\u2019s Justices of the Peace by Attorney-General Mowat, only a very few weeks ago, goes far to endorse this opinion of the man, and, as in the Darcy case, he may have been a member of Father Connolly\u2019s Committee ; but the fact of a rifle and some balls got in his possssion, which corresponded with the fatal one found in William Donnelly's residence after passing through the body of the man John, may militate against him.What has been said of McLaughlin as regards good character may be applied equally to the rest of the prisoners, They one and all bear the best of characters as honest, quiet, industrious, hard-working people, but all seem to have entertained a bitter enmity to the Donnelly family.There have been expressions gone forth through the papers, as coming from the tips of the old man, Kennedy.denouncing his son for beipg the leader in the diabolical work, but it is said this is incorrect.FIRE REPORT Specially reported fr the MONTREAL HERALD.Boston, February 12.\u2014A fire in Blackstone street this morning damaged a building and

REJECTED.PARIS, February 12.\u2014In the Chamber of Deputies M.Louis Blanc made an eloquent speech in favour of bis motion for plenary amnesty.M.De Freycinet, President of the Council, replied.He said amnesty to produce its proper effect should have its root in the public mind, but this was far from being the case at present.Except in the large towns, the country was not prepared to favour complete amnesty, and would only become favourably disposed thereto when it ceased to be jthe instrument of political agitation.In order to bring about the adoption of amnesty by the country it was necessary that the Government should be strong and possess that moral force which would be bestowed by the support of the whole majority.M.De Freyc net urged the spartizans tof amnesty | to unite with the Government to establish à perfect calm throughout the country, and]give effect to\u201dthe reforms which the nation desired.Then the Government would, perhaps, ba strong enough to propose plenary amnesty.M.Blanc\u2019s motion was rejected by 31 3to 115.GERMANY OPENING OF THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT, BERLIN, February 12.\u2014The speech announces the increase of the matricu- latory contributions of

February 12.The Chancellor of the Exchequer denied the truth of a despatch stating that a treaty had been signed by which Persia would bo permitted to occupy Herat in return for her engagement to assist England in Afghanistan.He said he could add nothing to his recent reply on the subject, which was that commuications on the subject releasing Persia from her treaty obligations not to take possession of Herat had been under consideration, but an understanding with Persia had not yet been reached, and it was, therefore, inconvenient to make any sta\u2018ement.Mr.Bourke, Under-Secretary

second reading of the Irish Distress Bill Mr.Synan (Home-Ruler) moved an amendment objecting to use the Church Surplus Fand for Irish relief.He urged that the advances should come from Imperial resources.Mr, O'Shaughnessy (Home-Ruler) seconded the amendment, Sir George Colthurst (Home Ruler) urged the Goveroment -to institute works other than sanitary.Sir S.Northcote concurred in the opi- niou that the nature of the works should not be restricted.The Government had aiready appointed three inspectors, and had authorized the appointmentof three more to superintend worke authcrized under

but merely to make advances therefrom.No fund could be better used for the relief of distress than the Church surplus fund.Jt.would, of course, be necessary hereafter te consiw der what should be done to.meet a recar- rence of such an emergency, After some remarks from several Irish members, Mr.Lowther, Chief See retary for Ireland, denied that the Government had any idea of protecting the Consolidated Fund at the expense of the Church surplas, ; Mr.Shaw (Home Ruler) hoped the amendment would not be pressed, as Irieb members feared, if assistance was given to the landiords, it- might lead to the increase of their rents.\"He hoped some words would be introduced into the Bill to prevent such a result.He urged the Government toroffer grant similar to that made jn 1847, Mr, Bynan

crowded, over 800 being present, consisting not only of residents of the village, but from all parts of the County of Shefford.Mr, Andrew Kay, Mayor of the township of Granby, took the chair, and, after an overture by the Granby orchestra, called on Mr.A.C.Savage, Mayor of the village of Granby, who stated briefly that the former Hall, which had been built but three years, was destroyed by fire a year ago, and this magnificent building had been erected in its stead during the past summer.The building 18 45ft x 95ft, built of brick, with roof covered with tin.It is two storeys high besides a basement, which is used as a fire department, and wood and furnace rooms.on the first floor are the Council Hall and Committee Rooms, and the caretaker\u2019s apartments, The Public Hall occupies the entire second floor, and is one of the finest in the Eastern Townships.The building has been built jointly by the Municipalities of this village and of the township of Granby, in the ratio of three-fifths and two-fifths respectively.The musical part of the programme was ably executed, the Granby orchestra rendering valuable assistance, Besides the three grand choruses, there were solos by Miss Frost, Miss Champeney and Mr, Clark, and a vocal duett by Misses Miner and Bullock, which were excellest, and the piano solo by Miss Clark and the duett by Mrs.Robinson and Mrs.Kinney, and that by Mre.Gatien and Miss Beaubien, were well rendered, and did no injustice to the magnificent Weber Piano, kindly and gratuitously furnished for the occasion, by the New York Piano Co, of Montreal.The Hon.L.S.Huntington addressed the audience for half an hour, and was listened attentively to with profound attention, resuming his seat amidst loud and prolonged applause.Eppa\u2019s

dome of \u201c Notre Dame.\u201d It spoke volumes of the love that our Catholic fellow-citizens bear towards their Bishop.There could not have been less than 20,000 persons present.Every part of the large Cathedral was packed with an attentive congregation.It being the season of Lent there was no great attempt at decoration about the Altar.Some beautiful banners of red, green and blue silk, with mottoes worked m gold, were hung on the pilastres of the reredos, and when the lights on the Altar were all ablaze, the scene was most beautiful.About half.past three \u2018Bourdon \u201d gave out its ronorus peal, soon followed by the higher peals of the other bells, The procession was now nearing the great fane, and the large body of police outside had some trouble in keeping the main entrance clear, so eager was the vast crow, that lined the front of \u2018\u2018 Notre Dame,\u201d to see their good Bishop after his long journey from the Holy Father and the Eternal City.Inside the ehurch, the Rev.Cure Rousselot, the Parish Priest, with his attendant clergy, stood at the main door, with the acolytes carrying the Holy Water in a silver ewer, ready to welcome the Chief Pastor of the Diocese.The organ, manipulated by Mr.Labelle, begins to swell out the well-known air, See the Corquerings Hero Comes,\u201d and presently the vast congregation rises, and the large choir breaks oat into the anthem as the Bishop enters the church, and, preceded by Cure Rousselot and his clergy, walks slowly up the centre aisle, bowing right and left to the loving salutations that greeted him.On reaching the chancel, His Lordship turned round and faced his people.with a pleasant, happy smile on his face.He motioned them to be seated, until all those in the procession had been accomodated with seats.The students from the Grand Seminary, with the other priests from the Palace and adjacent Parishes, ranged themselves on each side of the altar.In the centre of the chancel, and facing the allar, was placed a chair and Prie- Dieu for the Bishop, both were upholstered in urple velvet and gold.His Worship the Mayor, having on his right and left Judge Loranger and Mr.Cherrier, and surrounded by the Presidents of the several French and Irish Catholic Socleties, stood in front of the Bishop just outside the chancel rails.All now being in readiness, his Lordship rises and so does the congregation.His Lordship is supported by the Revds.Canon Moreau, Cure Rousselot, Father Dowd, Father Cazeau, 8.J., and Father Baile, Superior of St.Sulpice.The Rev.Father Baile, on behalf of the clergy of the diocese, then read an address of congratulation and welcome.\u2018After this was concluded, His Worship Mayor Rivard advanced to the door of the chancel rails and, standing there, read in a clear voice, that was heard all over the church, the following address of welcome from the citizens ;\u2014 To His Lordship Mgr.E.Charles Fabre Bishop of Montreal : MoNexIGNEUR\u2014Permit the Catholics of your diocese to offer to your Lordship their felicitations on your safe voyage and happy return to your country after a gom- paratively long absence.This absence was a long one for us, and we only found compensation for it in the assurance that it was necessary for the discharge of a duty which the interests of religion, and of your diocese, imposed upon your Lordship.It was not the first time that you had visited the Old World, you knew well previously the men and their institutions, and there your Lordship was not unknown.But it was the first time that, as Bishop of Montreal, you carried to the commou Father of the faithful the prayers of one of the most important of American dioceses, and re~ ceived in return the benedictions which emanate over Christendom from the eternal city.The many works with the direction and maintenance of which your Lordship is eharged te direct and maintain, the numerons communities confided to your supervision, tke educated youth, in which you have always manifested mo lively an interest, the zealous clergy placed under your direction, the parishes which demand and obtain from you so careful attention, in fact all the diocese cannot fail to benefit by the result of your recent sojourn in the centre of Catholicism.Long, Moneeigeur, before your elevation to the Episcopacy you possessed innumerable and warm friends,whorejoice to-day in witnessing the exercise of your zeal and charity in a wide and fitting sphere, and who have nore the lees diminished in their regard.Already, vir, in all olasses of society, you were long ago locked upon as the proper candidate for the Episcopate by many of your friends, who recognized in you the courteous protector, the enlightened counsellor and the devoted friand.They rejoice [ tc-day to see that the geal and the charity of your Lordebip being exercised in a more vast and elevated sphere has in no way been abated.These sentiments are shared by ail the faithful in this city, whom your elevation to the Episcopate bas placed en rapport with your Lordship.They have all received from you the same benevolent consideration, they have all been the object of your solicitude, and all bave felt the effects of a zeal which always manifested itgelf under She most attractive and persuasive forms.Permit us to add, Monseigneur, that, before your departure, all were afflicted by a step which was ail the more regrettable because it threatened a prolonged separation from us.The considerations which forced your Lordship to establish your residence outside the city, although then unimpeachable, will, we dare to hope, soon be modified.We hope to see an end put to a condition of things which, by rendering less easy the relations between the pastor and his flock, is in every way to be - our most sincere wishes for your welfare, regretted.Permit us to add, Monseigneur, and for the success of your \u2018wna nal.and to express our profeund and unalterable devotion to our faith, of which you are the minister ; to the Soveraign Pontiff whom you have just visited, and to yourself, whom we venerate and cherish above all others.S Rivard, Mayor; T J J Loranger, Pres Ass Bt Jean Baptiste; J B Rolland.ex- Presa Ass St Jean Baptiste ; W Wil:on, Pres St Patrick\u2019s Society; C S Cherrier, Pres Reception Committee ; J A Ouimet, Sec Reception Committee.Bis LorpsaIP, in reply to the clergy of the Seminary and His Worship the Mayor, expressed his pleasure on seeing the great manifestation of welcome which bad been made, and tcok it to he a sense of the faith which they possessed, for which he thanked the clergy of his diocese.He had, he said, visited Rome on three occasions, and each time he had met a new Pope.First he went as a student, then as a priest, and then ae a Bishop, bus be had not seen the same Pope twice.Still he had been greatly impressed wiih a sense of piety from each.Whilst at Rome he had to render an account of the work of his diocese, and he was proud that he could say to the Pope that he was surrounded by a numerous clergy, whose zal was second to cone, and he had additional pleasure in telling of the many religious institutioas of the city.He was also glad in being able to speak of the general comfort of Canada, especially when other countries were raging with civil war.In giving an account of his diocese he had said that all which could be done for its good was done.In conclusion, His Lordship eaid that he should have to appeal to the people of Montreal to assist him out of his pecuniary difficulties, and he bad not the slightest doubt but they would respond to his call.On its conclusion, His Lordship and his clergy retired to the Sacristy to robe for the service of the Te Deum, the organist in t'e meantime playing a beautiful voluntary.The clergy while in the Sacristy received from his Lordship the Papal Benediction.The Bishop officiated at the Altar, his Crozier being carried by one of his Chaplains.The Rev.Cure Rousselot was Deacon, and the Rev.Father Dowd Sub Deacon, assisted by the Rev Father Giband.The choir, composed of well trained boys and male voices, with a good orchestra under the direction of Father Durocher, and Mr.Labelle, organist, sang the Te Dewm in a splendid manner.At the conclusion of the musigal service, His Lordship elevated the Host, and conferred the Papal Benediction on all present.The public ceremonies were now over, and the large congregation began slowly to disperse, after taking part in ome of the most pleasing events that has happened in the city for years.Large numbers of the laity called on His Lordship after the service was over, in the Sacristy, and were heartily welcomed by him.We have been given to understand also that early yesterday morning His Lordship Bishop Bond, of the Anglican Church, called at the Palace, and welcomed back his brother Bishop to the city.This is most pleasing, testifying, as it does, to the good-will, brotherly and Christian feeling existing between the heads of the two principal branches of the Christian Church here.The bells of Notre Dame, St.Patrick\u2019s and at the Palace pealed forth welcomes at a late hour last evening.Mr.G.E.O.Labadie, Church-warden of Notre Dame, is to be congratulated upon the splendid arrangement made by him for the ceremonies.LEGAL INTELLIGENGE.CIRCUIT COURT.Mr.Justice TORRANCE, Presiding.AvorezR LIVELY SCENE\u2014ESCAPE OF AN OLD Woman COMMITTED FOR CONTEMPT.Among the many cases for trial in this Court, which came up yesterday morning, was that of Aurelie Allard vs John Me- Farlane.The action was brought to recover $4.50 wages, the plaintiff alleging that she had been sent away before her réonth was up.À young girl named Cousens, a servant in the same house, testified that Aurelie had left of her own accord.Now an extraordinary scene happened, Aurelie, on hearing this, became infuriated, and, rushing between the gentlemen of the long gown, shouted in broken English, \u201cIt lie! it lie!\u201d at the same time giving terrific thumps on the table.His Hoxrour said\u2014Her ca:e is decided against her, and in the meantime Ishall take into

the CUourt-reom, before the crier could apprehend her.She will be arrested toserve the twenty-four hours for contempt.IN CHAMBERS.Before Chief Justice Sir A.A.Donion.Yesterday morning, the Chief Justice was waited upon by Mr.Keller and Mr.Archambault, the former represen ting four unlicensed liquor-sellers, named Maranda, Brosseau, Barsalou and Dey, nos.in gaol, and the latter representing the Crown.In the case of Maranda and Brosseau, petitions for writs of habeas corpus were presented, on the same grounds as that granied by the Hon.Mr.Justice Ramsay, viz, that the law was in such a state that it did not authorize any charges.His HONOUR said no argument would be necessary, unless some new grounds were brought forward, as he agreed with the decision of the Hen.Mr.Justice Ramsay.Mr.ARCHAMBAULT opposed the writ of habeas corpus in the case ot Barsalou on the ground that he was sent to gaol on the 30th September, 1879, and the License Act amendment, which had caused the trouble.had only come into effect on the 30th of October, 1879.Mr.KELLER said he would not urge that ground, but that he had not been cons demned to imprisonment in default of paying the fine.In the case of Dey, the pri- eoner had been charged twice for costs as in the case of Margaret Brady, who was liberated on that account.His HoNour granted the four writs as the grounds were indisputable, and the prisoners will be liberated to day.Some 30 writs of certiorari are to be taken out by the same advocate on behalf of others who have been similarly convicted.AMERICAN HORSES IN ENGLAND, The demand for good horses is as brisk as ever in England.Many of the horses imperted from Canada have brought good prices and given great satisfaction to buyers.But on this point we need more steady aiming at improvement.English buyers are willing to pay good prices, but they must be for goed articles.It will not pay to ship inferior animals or inferior produce of any kind, The English Live- Stock Journal, in the following brief item to horse-breeders of Canada and the United States, speaks to the point as follows :\u2014 \u201c OË late a considerable trade has been done in importing horses from the United States and Canads.The North Metropolitan tramways (this is the name given in England to all horse railroads) imported more than a ttousand.They were full of quality, with fair and in some specimens fine action.There were pairs well worth $760 to a dealer, but they have not weight enough for tramwork, and are being superseded hy the French horse cf the class so largely used for the last five years by the London Omnibus Company.Unless the recent fall in prices stops the trade, the United States will send us a great many highsclags horses\u2014of the sort Yorkshire used to breed.In the States they have plenty of mares of the right stamp for hunters, hacks and harness ; they have thoroughbred sirea to keep up quality ; they have boundless pastures of good grass and maize at a very cheap rate.On the other hand, they bave no idea of the proper make, shape and action of a riding horse or of breaking for saddle.Al} their horse talpnt has been directed to producing fast trotting borses ; thece they understand perfectly.But they are the quickest people in the world tq learn a new trade if it pays.They will learn to pick out mares and sires with riding shoulders and strong backs, thighs and necks, Their horses have sine, quality, good temper and sound constitutions to start with.With these advantages the Americans will soon fill up the blank in horse stock created by the competition of bgef and mutton in Ycrkshire and in Ireland.\u201d \u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014 Tue Minne Recorp, published by A.RB.Chisolm, 61 Broadway, New York, con tains fullest reports from the

January 20, 1880.The breaking-up of the icv on the Seine, now pretty much a thing of the pest, has been really terrific.Here, in the city itself, with all the science and practical resources of the day brought actively into play with a vi-w of directing the affair, us far as p-acticable and attenuating the uravuidable dangers of such a crisis, though the destruction of property has been considerable, there ba~e been no serious accidents and no loss of life.But in the open country, while the loss of property has been emormous, numbers of lives have been sacrificed.Several of the bridges of Paris ave so much injurad by the continuous striking of the blocks of ice against their pillars, that they are closed, and must undergo important repairs before being re-opened ; great inconvenience is thus cansed to the public, compelled to go out of its way in order to avoid danger.As for the Bridge of the Invalides, nothing is left of it but a heap of stones prejecting above the water, about the middle of the river.Firet ome arch came down with a crack and a crash, then another, then a third, and then the whole concern broke up and fell into the river.A good part of the Pont des Arts is carried away; and almost all the bridges of the capital are more or less the worse for the tremendous strain to which they have been subjected.For several days before the arrival of the crisis, the Seine became the \u201c\u201c great attraction ' for all the unoccupied people of this region, the quays on both sides of the river being crowded from daylight to dark, and tbe eager sigil-seekers being only kept from stationing themselves on the bridges by detachments of policemen.The utmost exertio:s of all e ncerned were unable to elear the quays of merchandise, boats, baths, washing-sheds, &c., before the ice from the country was borne into the town ; a hideous mass of detritus of all kinds\u2014treer, barrels, chests, spars, keels and decks of boats of every size and calling, linen, clothing, chimneya of littla steamers, everything in short that the huge blocks of ice hud crushed and gather- od up on their way, along the line of the river.Out in the country, where it was, cf course, impossible to adopt any precau tionary measures, the arrival of tne ice~ floe at any given point sent masses of ice and debris of all kinds flying over the river banks, bombarding the ficlds and roads with deafening roar, Woe to any unlucky boat imprudent enough to ascend tha Seine while the floe was descanding ! Eye-witnesses of these ecenes declare that they surpassed, in horror, everything they had ever seen or imagined.Hare, a party of p:asant.women, washing their linen at a spot from which the ice had been broken away, overtaken by the floe, some six or seven yards high, before they had time to gather up their washing and implements, all were caught and carried away by the floe, buried under the iceland lost sight of, without there being any possibility of rendering them any help; there, a flat- steamer, plying with merchandise be- tweon Havre and the capital, met by the floe was doubled up and crushed to atoms inetaneously, as though it had been a nute shell, boat, cargo, cyew sent down into the raging stream under the ice, the enormous blocks heaping themselves over it like beasts of pruy, and the frightful tragedy being overin the course of a few seconds, almost before the hapless victims of the pitiless forces of nature had bad time to shriek forth their harrowing appeal for the aid which no human power could have given them.A moment afterwards, as the floe sWept on, heaping up the blocks of ice before it, with a roar like a cannonde, nothing but the ice-coverei stream was visible to the eyes qf the horrified spectators on the hanks, Fifteen hundred harrels of wine were counted, 88 they went by, at a certain point of the Seine in the course of a few hours ; with wreckage, as previously remarked, of every kind of description, all of which is floated down to the sea, it being utterly impossible to rescue anything whatever from the grasp of the floe, notwithatanding the promptitude with which the sharp and frugal French peasants would fain have taken possession of these tempting and valuable waifs.Similar scenes have ocquryed on many of the rivera of France, while on o:hers the thaw hasbeen effected withou\u2019 accident or danger.Twelfth-Night, the Christmas Day of the Greek Church, has been brilliantly celebrated here, as usual, by the Russian and other foreign 1esidents who hold to that day a3 the orthodox date of the event they celebrate.The French, English, Italians, &c., have kept it as usual with the traditional Twelfth-Night cake, and tho honours paid to the King and Queen of the evening, and the merry dance that finishes cff the pl.asent gathering.The stallkeepers on the Boulevards, whose sales have been greatly interfered wich by the bad weather, have obtained permission to keep their places until the 11th inst, at midnight; atter which hour, they will \u201c fold their tents like the Arabs, aud noisily steal away,\u201d to the satisfaction of the rest of the world, or, at 1.ast, of that portion of its population which flads the thoroughfares of Paris much too crowded for convenience or safety, without the nuisance of these ignoble little structures, which take up so much space that can be but ill-spared by the peripatetic public, As though Paris were not already overrun with journals of all hues and sizes, good, bad, and indifferent, it appears that the German residents, some forty or fifty thousand in number, are about to found a newspaper for themselves, with the title of Deutsche Zeitung fur Paris, it will be a weekly, and will supply pelitical, commercial and general news, likely to he of special interest to Parisian Germans.The painters of this city are waxing more and more indignant at the absurd regulations for the next Fine Art Exhibition, just set up by the new Minister of Fine Arte, M.Turquet.So general is the angry d'sapproval thus excited, that it would not be impossible that the Minister\u2014who seems to have taken his idea of convenient and orderly arrangement \u201d\u2019 from the divisional sections of the display of tea, ccffee, chocolate, pickles, preserves, pease, beans, fruit, &c., of a grocer's shop\u2014may be induced to repeal an ukaz that has mo single voice in its favour but his own, Just imagine the effect of many scores of portraits, many hundreds of landscapes, several dczens of nature morte, as many pourtrayals of eockatoos, each lot filling one or more rooms, with nothing else to relieve the monotony of such a gathering and the fatigue of the visitor\u2019s eyes.Some of the rooms of the Louvre have been much injured by the frost and the damp, of which the ravages extend, alas ! to many of the finest works of the French - School, which will have to be subjected to the dangerous process of restoration, The weight of the anow on the Great Gallery was such that great fears were entertained of its falling in; happily tbat danger has been averted for this time ; but, with such an example of the dangerous whims of the Weather- Office, who shall say that some future winter may not witness the ruin of the splendid masterpieces contained in that well-known gallery?Meantime, the great establishment in question has just been enriched by a fine female portrait by Gerard ; a recent be~ quest.It has been placed among the works of the French School, by the side of Priedhon's ¢ Christ on the Cross\u2019 with which it contrasts somewhat curiously, being a lovely likeness of a beauty of a past generation, the Countess Regnault de Sainte Jean d\u2019Augely, with pink roses in her hair, seated at one end ot a divan, covered with garnet-coloured velvet.Italian journals speak highly of the group, im plaster, just finished by the sculptor Caroni, of Florence, representing Viotor Emmanuel at the last moments of his exietence.The late King ia lying stretched on his eouch ; near him stands Prince Humbert, his son and his successor, to whom he is confidisg his last wishes.The group is to be executed in marble and placed in the room in which * King Honestman \u201d breathed his last.The subscription for raising a monument to the late Prince Imperial is now closed, the amount collected being £8,000.Baron Hauesmaun, the President of the Committee appointed to this work, is believed to have enggeeted tbat the best form to give to the proposed memento, would be à small, reund, Memorial-Chapel, surrounded by a garden, cn one of the highest points of Paris, between the Are de l'Etoile and the Invalides, If this idea be adopted, the Committee will have, when the building is finished, to obtain the authorigation of the Goveroment to its being used as a place of worship, In the present unsettled state of France, it seems almost a pity to spend money on any monument to anybody but scientifig men, musicians, writers, and Republicans.During M.Gambetta\u2019s coming tenure of power, monuments referring to personages of French history will probably he respected by the author of Oppo.tunism ; but, should be be swept away by Clemenceau, Rochefort, and the rest of the \u2018\u2018 Reformers \u201d\u2019 who count on succeeding him, every vestaga of the past that is susceptible ot being made to disappear, will undoubtedly be not oniy got rid of, but destroyed thoroughly and promptly, The various Academies which constitute the Frengh Institute have elected their Presidents and Vice.Presidents for the present year.That of Inscriptions and Belle-Lettres has named M.M.Leblanç and Pavet de Courteil ; of Fine Arte, M.Jules Thomas, Sculpzror, and M.Lesueur, Architect ; of Moral and Political Sciences, M.M.Lovasseur and Caro.THE MILITARY SITUATION IN AFGHANISTAN.The following statement has baen ic- sued by the Military Departments :\u2014 NOTB LATELY.Communications with General Roberts being interrupted, it is considered desirable to show how the Cabul force stood at the latest date (vix., the 14th and 15h Dcember).of the messages received by the Government of India direct from his force, and also how the Kyber line of comuunica- tions and its reserve are situated During the four days\u2019 fighting which preceded the corcentration of his troops in the Sherpur position, the losses sustaiced by Lieutenant-Gereral Roberts out cf a force of 7,850 men and 24 guns, including two Gatlinge, was 62 hiled and 164 wounded, and one mounted gun.Ho has therefore now with him more than 7,500 effective troops, composed of \u2014 1 British and 34 Nitivo Cavalry Regiments, 3 British and 6 Native Infantry Ragiments, 2 Batteries of Horse and Field Artillery, with 12 guns; and 2 Mountain Train Batteries with 9 guns, 2 Gatling guns ani 2 companies of Sappers and Miner-, and the latest official health report of troops, British and Native, and followers, states it to be \u201cexcellent.\u201d The new Sherpur Cantonment affords adequate cover for the whole of this force and its followers, and can contain in perfect security within its entrenched works, not only the carriage, but, full food supplies for five montha, and forage for ur- wards of three months, which General Eoberts had already stored.There is no available information as to the exact amount of ammunition in magazine in Sherpur.It is, howeve-, known that General Roberts bad made bis arrangements for destroying the bulk of that stored in the Bala Hissar, nnd it may therefore be assumed that he had removed to the Cantonmezt all that he required to supplement his own, and to provide for the use of a proportion of the heavy and field guns which fell into his bands on his way to, and occupation of, Cabul.These, 214 in number, are all parked in Sherpur, 112 are rifled ¢f from 20-pr.to 4-pr, calibres of Afghan manufacture.The remainder sre smooth-bore of cll calibres from 24-pr.guns, and 8\" howitzers to 3-pr.guns to 6} mortars.Amongst them are four 18 pr.guns, two 8\" howitzers, seven 54\u201d morcars, and seventeen G-pr.field guns of English maou- facture.While General Roborts is thus supplied with more than enough heavy guns for the Sherpur works, it is almcst certain, on the other hand, that those 214 guns represent a very large proportion indeed of the Afghan Artillery ; and that the enemy is almost stripped of that arm, without which no attack they might makes on General Roberts\u2019 position could be really formidable, notwithetutding their great qumorie :1 superiorisy.By deciding not to attempt, in the face of vastly superior numbers, the defence of theextonded line cf positions on the heights whieh dominate the city and the Bali Hissar, and by withdrawing his whole force to the Sherpur Cantonmentand the heights of Bemaru, General Roberts secures at once the safety, shelter and rest of his forca ® and their supplies, and frees a strong division of all arms wherewith to assume tbe offensive whenever occasion may offer.The position of Sheypur ean, there is little reason ta douht, be easily held by a garrison of 2,500 men, leaving a division of &,000 men of all arms for employment against the enemy, wi h choice of time, direction, and opportunity for the delivery of attacks, Though it might perhaps be anticipated that, on finding the attempt to rush General Roberts\u2019 force by a suddenly com= bined movement has failed, and that bis position is now so strong as to hold out little hopes of its falling into their hands, the tribesmen who form the combination will, from want of organization and supplies, gradually draw away from Cabul and return to their homes, yet this could not be counted ou for any practical purpose, and it is therefore necessary at once to reeopen the communications between Jugduliuk and Cabul by force.The troops which ab present occupy the line from Jumrood to Jugdulluk under Major-General Bright, compose a total strength of all ranks of 12,016, (including the small forces of \u2014 A Battery Royal Artillery, Wing British Infantry, egiment Native Infantry, recently sent fiom Peshawar), of whom 8,861 are British and 8,654 Native ; thus divided\u2014 5 Batteries of Artillery with 30 guns.4 Rogiments of Cavalry.6 Companies of Sappers.15 Rogiments of Infantry.Supplies are laid in for the whole line for two montlg, and in the latest return the Brigade and Division complements of car- rlage were given as complete.Both the Khyber and the Cabul Divisions have received their supplies of warm clothing.It is believed that the brigades of Brigadier- Generals Gough and Arbuthnot will be found sufficient to overcome the opposition which the tribes in their tront will certainly offer, and to maintain the communications between Cabul and Gundamuk.General Gough\u2019s infantry brigade consists of\u20141 regiment British and 3 regiments Native infantry, or 2,200 of all ranks, General Arbuthnot\u2019s 2 regiments of Britigh and 3 Native infantry, or 8,200 in all In view, however, of tkis force being insufficient and the consequent need for moving the 3rd Brigade above Gundamuk, the needful orders have issued for the immediate assembly of a reserve division of all ayms at Peshawar, to consist of\u2014 1 Brigade of Cavalry, 1 British and 2 Native Rrgiments ; and 1 Battery of Horse Artiliery with aix guns, à Brigades of Infantry, 3 British and 7 Native Infantry with 18 guus, These troops will move at once and be in readiness for any further advance inte the Pasa, or other point on the frontier, as circumstances may seem to require.There is sufficient carriage at Jhelum to move these troops to Peshawar as they arrive ; and the Commissariat are now engaged in purchasing 10,000 camels or their equivalents in mules and ponies for the equipment of the division at Peshawar.As it is further necessary to prepare for the additional supplies and their caralage, which the forward movement of this division would necessitate, being stored at Jellalabad, Lundi Kotal, and Gundamuk, the needful provision for this contingency will be made in the Transport Department.If it be considered desirable to make an advance towards Cabul from Kandabar, the reserve brigade in the Bolan, consisting of three regiments muder Brigadier.General Phayre, can be moved up at once to Pesheen, its place being taken by Brigadier-General Burrowes\u2019 brigade of three regiments, Bombay Army, already ordered to hold themselves 1n readiness to move.General Stewart has now under his command along the whole line to Dadur 9,045 effective troops of all arme, 2,376 Europeans, and 6,669 Natives, with 63 guns, including a siege train.The latest reports state that the Ziimusht Expedition on which Brigadier- General Tytler's force was employed is practically concluded.It is doubtful whether any of the Kurram Valley Force could ba withdrawn, but they are available for a demonstration on the Shutargardan road which would have the effect of draw ing ff the Wardeh and Logar tribesmen frem Cabul.The force employed hy General Tytler on this late expedition, consigted of five guns, 800 Britishe and 2,350 Native Infantry end 260 Native Cavalry\u2014taken from the force of 20 guns, 1,850 British Iufantry, 1,800 Native Cavalry, and 6,000 Infantry commanded by Brigadier-General Watson in Kohat and Kurram.It has not been considered necessary to make any further provision for an increase cf the forcesin the field ; already amounting in round numbers, with the division, now under formation, to some 42,500 mrn of all ranks, and 160 guns.Should it, however, become necessary, the Military Department will submit proposals for the provision of further reiaforcements to the reserve of the Kandahar or Kayber line.Signed) ALLEN JoBNsoN, Colonel, Secretary, Government of India, Military Department.ANSWER THIS, Did you ever know any person to be iil, without inaction of the Stomach, Liver or Kidneys, or did you ever know one who was well when eitber was obstructed or inactive ;

mentioned) a net increase for the past year of.$ 40,870 It may not be out of place here to'say;that, in looking where the increase in revenue was derived, the first large item was from sugar.The imports of this article were, via the St.Lawrence, in 1878, over twelve millions pounds, say.12,289,843 1bs.and in 1879.0.00.00.000.64, 875,656\u2018 an increase of.aovoo0ss 52,085,813 \u201c and which yielded to the revenue $7,800 more than the previous year.To bring this quantity of eugar to our wharves there were employed (besides partial cargoes) no less than 45 vessels laden with sugar, aggregating 20,731 tons, and whoee tonnage dues yielded to the harbour a revenue of $4,552, while it may be safely estimated that the outward wharfage dues paid on thesa vessels was not less than $5,000 more.The quantity of iron imported exceeds that of last year by nearly 44,000 tonr, yielding a revenue of $11,000.The tonnage dues would also be considerable, as well as the outward wharfage dues, but the exact particulars it has not been possible to obtain.Coal is another large item of increase, the imports via the harbour for 1879 being.189,231 tons and for the previous year.142,764 *¢

additional reveaue derivable from this source is on coal, $4,600 ; and the increase of tonnage and the wharfage outward will make this item at least as much more.These articles make up a very large part of the increase in the revenue, and demonstrate clearly the advantage of inward freights in bringing tonnage to the port.The insurance on the plant bas been consolidated, divided among eight Companies in equal parts, and a saving to the Trust of about $1,200 a year has been effected.The statements of the Harbour Master, Captain Rudolph, are very carefully compiled.These show the ecean tonnage to British and foreign ports, the Maritime Provinces, and the inland or local traffic.They may be condensed ns follows : \u2014 Vessels, Tons.Increase, British and forelgn\u2014'S78.351

of one half the breadth of the new channel through the rock at Cap la Roche, affording at,least a depth of 19 feet 6 in, with an addition of 14 ft.to 10 ît., according to the time of year and state of tide, and giving an increased depth of about 3 ft.over that in the old channel at the same point.In Lake St.Peter, which is still the most extensive, though not the most formidable part of the work, nearly one-third of the whole length of the dredging bas been carried down to the full depth at Contreccear a new Chars nel, about one-third of the length, is also complsted to the same depth, and important improvements have been made at Levrant, Champlain and other points.The cost of maintaining and working the dredging fleet for the year is $137,253, which compares favourably with the expenditures of previous yeare.MONTREAL HARBOUR.The principal works in the Harbour are the further deepening and improvement of the Ship Channel within the Harbeur, to keep pace with the deepening in the River below ; the extension upwards of the Windmill Point Basin and Wharf ; alterations in the line of the wharves in Sections 13 and 14, by which some 30,000 feet area of land space is reclaimed and improved wharfage obtained for large steamships ; the rebuilding of the inner side of the Is land Wharf in deep water and the dredging out of the whole basin ; the deepening of the Basin of Sections 16 and 178 (D:- mion and London Steamship berths), and also the renewal of a considerable part of Victoria Pier above water.The expenditure for dredging in the Harbour for the year has been $41,006 for a quantity of 189,600 yards, which, compared with previous years, shows a s'eady decrease of cost and increase of work.Permission was granted, as a trisl, to lay a railway track over the wharves at Hochelaga and across the river, within the jurisdiction of the Commissioners, towards Longueuil.This is now an sccomplished fact.The experiment so far seems to be successful, and it is to be hoped that no difficulty in taking the track will be felt, and that it will be safely removed before the break, Permission was also granted to the St.Lawrence and Pacific Ferry Co.te cut the ice between the Longueuil Ferry wharf and Ile Ronde, where they propose to put on a steamboat, connecting by a bridge from Ile Bonde to Longueuil shore.They hope to run summer and winter, carrying freight cars across.This proposal ia also a novel one.In eo for as it appears this winter the project seems feasible, and, should it prove successful, will ne doubt be of advantage to the Railways making connection, as well as increasing the revenues of the harbour.As considerable discussion haa lately taken place regarding our harbour dues, pilotage, towage, and elevating charges, as bearing on the interests of the Port, I have takem some trouble to obtain as much information on the respective questions as the time and circumstances would allow.In order to put the facts before you as clearly as possible, Ibave selected the last decade, and, for purpose of comparison, have taken the years 1870, 1874 and 1879, being five years respectively betweau them.Let it, however, be borne in mind that the year 1874 was the culminating point in the history of our harbour, that being, up to that time, the year of greatest tonnage and greatest revenue that bad been obtained.The year 1879, ending the decade, shows the largest tonnage over any previous year; the revenue, however, being under that of 1874.Let me now call your attention to the following statement, which, in the first place deals with steam vessels to British and Foreign Ports, Second, to sailing vessels to B.itish and Foreign Porta, Third, to steamers to the Maritime Provinces.Fourth, to sailing vessels to the Maritime Provinces.STEAM VESSELS TO BRITISH AND FOREIGN PORTS.« No.of Ton- Average Year.vessels.nage.size.1870.92 115,320 1,253 1874.166 316,920 1,807 1879.226 851,889 1,637 Percentage of increase, 205 per

0 8/0.It will be observed that from the decade, 1870 to 1879, the increase of steamers to British and Foreign Ports has been 205 per cent., while the sailing vessels have in the same time fallen off 25 per cent.I merely call your attention to the fact, leaving you to judge whether this falling off in sailing vessels ia only applicable to this port in consequence of our towage, pilotage and other charges, or whether it may not be largely attributed to the fact that steamers, not only at this port, but elsewhere are largely superseding sailing vessels.Now let us look at the vessels to the Maritime Provinces, while those to Europe and elsewhere show an increase in steam and a similar decrease in mailing vessels; steamers to the Maritime Provinces increased from 1870 to 1874 nearly 150 per cent.; since then they have gradually fallen away till they now stand at 42 per cent.increase on 1870; sailing vessels, which show about § per cent.gain from 1870 to 1874, now show 37 per.cent, less since the last named period.I am not prepared to say that this decrease in tonnage to the Maritime Provinces is due to, but it must be largely caused by, the facility which the Intercolonial Railway is affording to the trade, The local vessels show an increased tonnage of 14 per cent.between the years 1870 and 1879.This increase has almost all been gained since 1874.(The year 1879 alone showing an increase of 7 per cent.) The revenue derived from harbour dues or local traffic was $63,265 in 1874, against $55,080 in 1879, or a reduction of 124 per cent.This shows that the vessels cannot be carrying so many goods as formerly, and this is also probably to be accounted for by the opening of the railway system on the north shore of the St.Lawrence.PILOTAGE.The pilotage charges below Qnebec are divided among the pilots equally, irrespective of their individual earnings ; the amount earned by each going into one common fund.The number of pilots this year, among whom the fund waa divided, was 188, and their average earnings was $488.The previous year their earnings averaged $455.The pilotage between Quebec and Montreal is under the jurisdiction of the Harbour Commissioners of Montreal, and may be said to have been conducted last year by 39 pilots, although 43 were oa the list, The earnings of these 39 pilots yielded an average of $962.The highest amount received was $1,771, and the lowest was $650.The earnings for the previous year averaged $726 each, the highest being $1,757, and the lowest $500.In using the word lowest in these instances it is supposed the pilots have been working through the year, as sometimes illness, suspension or other causes interfere with the earnings of the pilots ; these ave, therefore, not included in the average.The difference between the earnings of the pilots below Quebec and those between Quebec and Montreal, it will be observed, is very considerable.The system of division in common below Quebec appears to be very questionable, as it deprives a hardworking man of bis due share of the earnings, the drone receiving as much, has no incentive to do his duty, and it has been stated that in bad weather they are very apt to shirk their work.This does mot apply to the pilots above Quebec, who receive their own earnings ; the average earnings show that the pilotage above Quebec is too high, If this is the case, some modification should, if possible, be entertained: It has been suggested that vessels between Quebeo and Montreal, when in tow of a steamer, should not be obliged to take a pilot.It is thought that this charge might be saved by making it compulsory for all tugs, towing vessels, to carry branch pilots.\u2018This subjeet is receiving the earnest consideration cf the Board, but as yet no deflnite decision has been arrived at.In order that a more equal distribution of the earnings among the pilots should take place, it has been suggested that the regular lines employing pilots should distribute their favours more equally among the pilots.This is strongly recommended to vessel owners, not only in justice to the pilots but to themselves.TOWAGE.Some years ago, say 1876, a tariff for towage of vessels was established between Quebec and Montreal.The towage below Quebec has been practically carried on without a tarif, eaca party making their own bargains ; the tariff being between Quebec and Montreal, and vice versa.For the last two or three years this tariff has not been adhered to, therates having been 80 much lowered that, by the tug owners, they are declared to ba ruinously low.I have obtained a list of the amounts paid for towage on 80 vessels, of a tonnage of 47,477 tons, averaging 593 tons each, which visited the port during the last two years; 18 vessels, 13,080 tons, having been towed from Quebec, and the balance \u201462 vessels, 35,023 tons, from places ranging from 28 to 260 miles below Quebec.The cost of towage of the 18 veesels referred to, wouid have been under the tariff, $16,615, but the actual amount paid was only $5,340, or less than one-third of the published tariff.The cost of the towage of 62 vessels was $24,053, and the average distance towed was 160 miles below Quebec, and assuming that the same proportionate rate was charged as from Quebec to Montreal Tariff, the cost would have been $77,068.As already explained, there being practically no tarift below mes .LOL UXXIT-NO, 37 | MONTREAL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1820.___._ Price 3 Cents aicinmnship Zlotices, £rotessionar Cards.- MONTREAL STUCK LIST, ing up of the ice in the spring.Quebec, each vessel has; to make its own bargain when being towed from wherever the tug meets her, either to Quebec or to Montreal.Any tariff, therefore, which may be made, should, if possible, include the towage below Quebec, as well as Quebec to Montrealwould agree to and publish a reasonable maximum tariff, it would help to prevent overcharges being made on casual vessels, who are said to be frequently imposed on by want of knowledge.This seems to be now the chief source of complaint, the captains of regular traders being sufficiently posted so that they can take care of themselves when making their arrangements with the tugs.There is no doubt that the rates charged by the tug owners, during the last two years, has been disastrous to them as a class.It seems clear that cheaper rates than have prevailed during that time can hardly be expected.It has been suggested by a deputation of the Board of Trade, at a conference held lately, that the different existing Tug-boat Companies be invited to unite in forming an effective service between Quebec and Montreal and to frame a tariff on the minimum charge for towage last year, and that the Commiesioners grant to such combimation a subsidy, if necessary, in order to secure a cheap and effective service.Failing this, it might be advisable to ask Parliament for power to build tugs to be worked by the Commissioners, or by a/Company.The power, if granted, would be only permissive,~~to be used only when circumstances rendered it imperative.These suggestions will have the due consideration of the Board.In considering the towage question, it has generally been stated that vessels of small burden, say under 600 tons, to carry grain to the outports of Great Britain, and calling at Cork for orders, are of paramount importance, and that hundreds of vessels only wait a reasonable rate of towage to come here.I have already called your attention to the fact that the tonnage of sailing vessels had decreased from 1870 to 1879, 25 per cent., while steawers had increased 205 per cent.The sailing vessels under 600 tons which sailed from the port in 1870 with grain cargoes for outports, or for orders, were 140 vessels.Total tonnage, 46,948, averaging 315 tons per vessel.The num-~ ber of vessels in 1879 was 98, total tonnage 40,244 tons, averaging 411 tous each.Thus showing a decrease of tonnage of barely 15 per cent., as against the 25 per cent.of reduction in sailing vessels of all sizes coming to the port.It will be noted that the size of these small vessels has in- cressed nearlylone-third in the decade, and, as has been shown, the tendency is in every class of vessel to an increase of size, while the immense increase of steam tonnage is no doubt gradually year by year helping to solve the problem of towage between Quebec and Montreal.The exports of grain were :\u2014 In 1870.18,501,310 bushels, veers 16,789,580 \u201c I879.\u2026.vscusase 22,755,946 \u2018 The largest quantity hitherto shipped, being an increase of 67 per

of the Bishop of Chichester.These churches are likely to be gained te Rome, but the conversion of Wagner and his imitaters is conditional.Converts already married are to be re-ordained.Such converts will be allowed to assist in ministering in Catholic Church in Mass, benediction and preaching, but not to be admitted to parochial functions, especially confession.Males and fomales in the Anglican religious orders are to pass through their novitiate under experienced superiors appointed by Bowe.A special Metropoliter, gerhaps Cardinal Manning, is to be consecrated by the Pope for the govern- aneut of re-ordained Anglican clergy.For the present the parts of the service outside of the Mass are to be allowed in the ver- aacular.The younger clergy are to take the usual vows of celibacy when ordained ab deacons.FOREIGN.Ax official statement shows the total expenses and loss of resources to France, arising from the Franco-German war, to have been 13,939,000,000 franca.Toule Hinde has, it

gold lace, and one or two other Ministers in a smaller quantity of the precious metals, have shone out upon the crowd in the Senate Chamber.The ladies, glorious in satin, diamonds, low- necked dresses, pretty shouwlders and faces have been seep, and have seen their sisters in equally charming array.Col.Gzowski has appeared at the right band of His Excellency, where Col.Dyde would, we suppose, also have been \\ but for the accident which has recently befailen him.The Usher of the Black Rod bas made his three bows or obeisances, for bows is hardly a word big enough for these ponderous reverences, The gues have fired and the bands have played.< Our trusty and wells beloved cousin,\u201d commonly called the Marquis of Lorne, after sitting qaietly for a quarter of a hour, has been joined by the Princess Louise, and has then read in both languages, a speech written for him by Sir John A.Macdonald, and whick has reached him through the medium of one of his aides-de-camp.Finally, more bowing, more dramming, and Parliament is opened.The Speech is only a very small part of the show, and as the opening of Parliament is a show, the least important part of it, that of yesterday, may have been drawn with a little more or a little less skill than some which have preceded at.Its meaning is neither more nor less than theirs.We ail knew that we had enjoyed a good harvest, we all compassionate the distress in Ireland, and are all willing to offer something te alleviate the suffering of our fellow- subjects in that country; we are all equally glad that the millions of dollars which a mercifal Providence has dropped on our heads, in 1he way of a crop, has saved us from general bankruptcy.The Banking laws must, of course, be in some way renewed as they are about to expire, and the same may be said of the Bankrupt laws.These measures were known to form part of the business which Parliament must transact at the present session.It was also well understood, though without any necessity that the public can perceive for it, that Sir Alexander Galt was to be conciliated by a pleasant appointment in England.For the rest, a number of unimportant measures are announced, which may or may not be carried, and, if they are carried out, will not be of any considerable importance except to the interests specially concerned.We do net complain of this.Speeches from the Throne have, for a long time, been made as meaningless as possible, and this is no exception.The announcement of a saving of expenses on the Intercolonial Railway requires to be sifted before we know whether the savings of to-day will not entail a doubled or trebled expenditure for renewals next year ; and the clause about the revenue, whatever it may mean, must be taken into connection with two obvious facts \u2014that, with much larger charges on the public, the revenue has not reached anything like the amount calculated on by the Finance Minister ; that, for the first seven months of the fiscal year, the figures in the Official azette of the revenue and the expenditure show the deficit to be more thveat- ening than ever.OPENING OF THE GERMAN REICHSTAG, \u2014AÂt the opening 0° the German Reichstag yesterday (Thursday), the Speech from the Throne stated that the relations of the Government with all foreign Powers was peaceful.Confidence was felt in the maintenance of peace through the labours of the Berlin Congress, which had been upheld, and the stipulations of the Treaty of Berlin executed in nearly all points.The Empire would sedulously and unselfishly, and, conscious of its own power, continue to participate in endeavours to secure lasting peace for Europe in consonance with the pacific disposition of its peuple, and would endeavour to procure the cooperation ard guarantee of Powers similarly disposed.The principal measures for legislation announced are a Bill for establishing biennial Budgets, a new Military Law, the prolongation of the law against the Socialists, and for a Commercial Treaty with the South Sea Islands.The Speech justifies the Mili~ tary Law as a measure of security, necessitated by the increased armaments of neighbouring countries.SIGNIFICANT.\u2014The semi-official North German Gazette of Berlin, referring to the warlike interpretation by the French newspapers of the German Army Bill Says :-\u2018\u201c The French army estimates for 1870 were barely 500,000,000 francs ; they now exceed 900,000,000.The French army is better armed, numerically stronger than the German army.The Russian army has also been considerably increased.From the language of some French monarchical journal it would appear certain that if the parties they represent obtained Power, they would immediately plunge France into war.Germany, though earnestly peace- loving, must follow the example unfortunately set by her neighbours.Germany\u2019s army is her weapon of defence and not of attack.We would be very glad if the same could be said with certainty of the armies of onr neighbours.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 INDICATIONS OF THE SESSION.=Already the prominent members of the Opposition have indicated their intention, in the first place, to enquire into the plan upon which contracts have been awarded and carried out, commencing with the Carillon Canal works, which, according to all accounts, have been made to do great service in the late Argenteuil election to the Hon.Mr.Abbott, besides being given out ina manner that indicates needless extravagance, if nothing more.Sir Richard Cartwright, too, has shown that he proposes to investigate the working of the National Policy, and will doubtless have little difficulty in showing how far the Finance Minister's anticipations have failed to be realized.Tae FisuERY AWARD.~Mr.Henry He hag been taken notice of in Congress, Senator Alaine having submitted a re- communicate any information in pesses- sion of the Government touching \u2018¢ the alleged false

the Ontario House, Mr.Hay\u2019s Bill for the extermination of Canada thistles provides that an overseer of highways shall have power to enter upon or cut thistles on any land sown with grain other

that theeffect of the tariff of last session in the development of the varied industries of the country bas on the whole been very ratisfactory.The experience acquired since it came into operation in Marcu last has suggested the expediency of sine amendments to which your attention will be directed.Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate : Bills for the better organization of the Civil Service, for the Conselidation of the Toland Revenue laws, and for the amendment of the Acts relating to the Dominion lands, to the Public Works, to the Indians of the North-West, and to the Mounted Police Force will be laid before you.The Acta incorporating the Backs of the Dominion will expire next year, and the present would seem a favourable time fer a full consideration of our banking Bystem, and ef the subject of the currency as conmect- ed with tbat system.The subject of the laws relating to insolvency will, doubtless, engage your attention.: The increasing foreign trade of Canada, and the prospect that Her Majesty\u2019s Government will enter ere long into negotiations with foreign nations on the subject of their trade and commercial relations, demand our closest attention and watch- falness, while the rapid development of the Dominien is continually giving rise to important matters requiring the support and action of the Imperial Government.With the concurrence of Her Majesty, I therefore recommend you to sanction the appointment of a prominent representative of Canada in London te guard her various interests.The subjects I have mentioned are of great importance.I commend them, with full confidence in your wisdom and patriotism, to your best consideration.The Governor-General and Her Royal Highness then withdrew and returned to Rideau Hall.Their reception was very enthusiastic.The crowd was tremendous, and the eagerness to obtain a glance at the Princess was intense.A guard of honour of 100 men of the Foot Guarde, under Captain Todd, with the Queen's colour and

appointment of Mr.Macpherson to the Senate on personal grounds.Without, perbaps, having the technical knowledge which fita a lawyer, and especially for deciding the questions which are sometimes referred to the Speakers, he possesses a long Parliamentary experience, and the success of many mnon- professional Speakers shows that there is no real difficulty in the way of a sensible man, willing to work a little, and used to the routine of Parliament, acquitting himself with satisfaction to the Chamber over which he presides.Ia other respects, Mr.Macpherson is all that can be desired.There are, however, other considerations which may affect the minds of some members of the dominant party less favourably than the Speaker's personal capacity.In the first place, it was understood that Mr.Wilmot, though not a very strong man, Was taken into the Cabinet in order TO GIVE MR.TILLEY\u2019S PROVINCE TWO MEMBERS, lt will \u2018now have enly \u201cone, while Oatario gains an additional member in the Cubinet, and one who may be supposed not likely to permit any of her claims to be passed over in silence.Then it will, no doubt, seem to some that even the Speakership should be continued in Lower Province hands ; considering that since Confederation that part of the Dominion has supplied a man for that honour during a very short time, and it happens that there are two Seaators who may be said to have special qualifications, besides the circumstance that they hail from the East.Of all the Senators Mr.Botsford possesses the highest reputation for his knowledge of the Les Parliamentaria.He is à man of distinguished presence, GREAT DIGNITY AND OLD-WORLD COURTESY.Moreover, being a New Branswicker, he would have exactly fitted the hole from whence Mr.Wilmot went ous.Bat he is an aged man, and might, perhaps, decline on that account.Probably, except for that consideration, he is the man who, local jealousies apart, would have received the greatest number of votes if the Senate elected its own Speaker.But then we bave Mr.Dickey, not a New Brunswicker, but still one of the representatives of the Maritime group of Provinces.Without being go distinguished as a parliamentarian as Mr.Botsford, he is a lawyer and man of experience, and, perhaps as an authority, would be generally placed second in the list of specially competent men\u2014competent from his even temper and fairness, as well as of his knowledge of the forms of Parliamentary business.Itis quite possible also that OUR OWN PROVINCIAL REPRESENTATIVES HOUSE OF COMMONS.The SPEAKER took the Chair at three o'clock.Shortly afterwards the Usher of the Black Rod notified the House that the Governor-General desired their attendance in the Senate Chamber.After returning, the Speaker notified the House of the several vacancies that had occurred during the recess, and the result of the elections in the several constituencies.The following new members were then introduced : Mr.Bernard Wale, by Hon.Mr.Langevin and Mr.Thompson (Cari boo) ; Mr.Jos.Royal (Provencher), by Sir Chas.Tupper aud Hon.Mr.Masson ; Mr, Beauchesne (Bonaventure).by Hon.H.L.Langevin and Dr.Fortier ; Mr.Vanasse (Yamaska), by Hon.Mr.Masson and Mr.Massue ; Mr.McLeod (Cape Breton), by\u201d Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.McKay ; Mr, Bargin (Cornwall), by Sir Chas.Tupper and McLellan ; Hon.Edward Blake (West Durham), by Hon.D.Mills and Mr.Bechard (cheers from both sides of the House) ; Mr.Macdonell {(North Lanark), by Hon.Mr.Mackenzie and Hon.Mr.Geoffrion.Sir JOHN MACDONALD introduced the formal Bill respecting the administration of oaths of office.The SPEAKER informed tue House that he had received a copy of the Speech from the Throne from His Excellency the Goverer-General, Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved that the Speech be taken into consideration tomorrow.\u2014Carried.The usual motion for the sppointing of the Standing Committees was then adopted.operas are well known io the drawing-rooms of 48 well as ou the streets of all the large may think they have a right to a turn when they can put forward such candidates as Mr.Trudel or Mr.De Boucherville before the office went again to Ontario.Notwithstanding these reasons, however, Mr.Macpherson\u2019s appointment is a good one.There is some little fun going between the New Brunswick and Prince Edward\u2019s Island men, growing out of the nomination of Mr.Carvell to the Senate.He is essentially a New Brunswicker.New Brunswick lost representatives when Prince Edward came into the Confederation, in order to give part of the Maritime Province quota to the Island.It is now said that New Brunswick, in th: person of Mr, Carvell, bas regained its old number of Senators.The appointment was very unpopular in Prince Edward.OPENING OF THE DOMINION PARLIAMERT.FOURTH PARLIAMENT\u2014SECOND SESSION.From our Own Correspondent.- Ottawa, February 12, The Senate Chamber was crowded to its utmost extent long before the hour ape pointed for the official opening, and hundreds within the walls were utterly unable to see any of the Vice-Regal party and staff, Shortly before three Her Royal Highness arrived, escorted by Lieutenant Gourdeau Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved the adjournment of the House.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE asked, before the motion was put, to direct the attention of the leader of the Government to the fact that, at the close of last session, there was a motion in force requiring the attendance of a certain person at the Bar of the House and that the person referred to did not attead, and he would like to know what coursethe Government intended to take in the matter ?Sir JOHN MACDONALD replied that it had escaped his attention altogether ; but he could be in a position tc-morrow to state what course he would pursue.The House then adjourned.NOTICES OF MOTIONS.Hon.Mr.Mackenzie\u2014For copies of all tenders received in 1878 and subsequently for the works on the Carillon canal and dam, &e.Sir Richard

Senate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons : I have great pleasure in meeting you again for the despatch of the business of the country.The abundant harvest with which Providence has blessed Canada is

\u201c\u201c TBE BOHEMIAN GIRL.\u201d One ot the most popular of Balfe's is ¢ The Bohemian Girl,\u201d and many of the sweet, pretty songs introduced the people ou both sides of the Atlantic, cities of Europe and America.This delightful opera was performed last evening hy the Holman Company, and although it Las been our pleasure to see many more pretentious corpsd\u2019operas in the same role, never have we seen it performed with better taste than last night.The leading ertits were all in good voice, and seemed to take a pleasure in the work before them.As ¢ Arline,\u201d Miss Sallie Holman excelled herself, and seemed more at home than in any other character of the week, her singing of \u201cI dreamt I dwelt in Marble Halls\u201d fairly electrifying the audience.Miss Blanche Bradshaw made an excellent * Gipsy Queen,\u201d and her dramatic efforts sur.rised many of her admirers.Mr.J.T alten sustained the character of Count Arnheim\u201d with credit, and his rendering of \u2018\u201c The Heart Bowed Down \u201d was most artistic, and brought down the house.\u2018\u2018 Thaddeus \u201d could scarcely have been better represented than by Mr.J.B.Bowler, ard his singing of \u2018\u201c Then You'll Remember Me,\u201d and \u201c The Fair Land of Poland \u201d was perfect, indeed, so much wag the latter appreciated that the gentleman had to repeat this song ~ one dear to every admirer of real music.To night we are to have the opera ¢ Girofle.Girofla,\u201d with the pretty air ** See how it Sparkles \u201d and tbe quintette \u201c How like she is.\u201d To-morrow is a matinee on purpose for the young, when the pretty rural opera ¢ Chimes of Normandy * will be produced.PoroLag Puivosoray.\u2014 Prof.W.C.Richards, M.A., last evening delivered another of his highly instructive lectures in the Nordheimer\u2019s Hatl.The topic of his discourse was \u201cThe Marvels cf Magnetiem aud related to Sciences,\u201d and in the course of the evening very many experiments were made to illustrate the varied uses of the magnete.This was, perhaps, the most entertainimg aad instructive of the ccenes.The learned Professor har, indeed, discovered how to make science pleasant, and his lectures will be long remembered by those who have availed themselves of the opportunity cf listening to his wise saws aad sayings.To the young, the course is most instructive and guardians and parents cannot do better than take the young to hear his wonderful stories of science and witness his astonishing experiments.More may be learned in a single evening with Mr.Richards than might be learned in months of reading and study.A matinee, especially for the young, will be keld tomorrow.DEATHS.In this city, on the 10th inst., at the age of 13 years, 10 montha, 20 days,

between the parties engaged in the prosecution of the prisoners charged with the Donnelly murder.John Darcy or Dorsey was brought from gael tg,the Central Station, aud discharged from custody on the application of his counsel, Mr.MacMahor, as no evidence has been fcund to support the charge, It is understood that other persons now in durgnce will be also discharged.The prisoners were visited to-day by the reporters, They were found with the morning papers reading the evidence of the boy O'Connor given at the inquest yesterday.The three implicated by his statement were separated.James Carroll remarking upon the evidence said the boy goes pretty strong for me.He appears much depressed at the revelations.He is a young man of 28 years.The prisoners are supplied with threa square meals a day from the City Hotel, and are well satisfied with their treatment.The tragedy is still the prevailing topic of public conversation.Wm.Donnelly has been in town all dayin full communication with the police.Lucan, February 13, The prisoner, Martin McLaughlin, and his family have been living in the township for several years.He is ahout 46 years of age, married, and bas a family of three dr four children.Reports generall; give him the very best of characters, and the fact of his being appointed one of Her Majesty\u2019s Justices of the Peace by Attorney-General Mowat, only a very few weeks ago, goes far to endorse this opinion of the man, and, as in the Darcy case, he may have been a member of Father Connolly\u2019s Committee ; but the fact of a rifle and some balls got in his possssion, which corresponded with the fatal one found in William Donnelly's residence after passing through the body of the man John, may militate against him.What has been said of McLaughlin as regards good character may be applied equally to the rest of the prisoners, They one and all bear the best of characters as honest, quiet, industrious, hard-working people, but all seem to have entertained a bitter enmity to the Donnelly family.There have been expressions gone forth through the papers, as coming from the tips of the old man, Kennedy.denouncing his son for beipg the leader in the diabolical work, but it is said this is incorrect.FIRE REPORT Specially reported fr the MONTREAL HERALD.Boston, February 12.\u2014A fire in Blackstone street this morning damaged a building and

REJECTED.PARIS, February 12.\u2014In the Chamber of Deputies M.Louis Blanc made an eloquent speech in favour of bis motion for plenary amnesty.M.De Freycinet, President of the Council, replied.He said amnesty to produce its proper effect should have its root in the public mind, but this was far from being the case at present.Except in the large towns, the country was not prepared to favour complete amnesty, and would only become favourably disposed thereto when it ceased to be jthe instrument of political agitation.In order to bring about the adoption of amnesty by the country it was necessary that the Government should be strong and possess that moral force which would be bestowed by the support of the whole majority.M.De Freyc net urged the spartizans tof amnesty | to unite with the Government to establish à perfect calm throughout the country, and]give effect to\u201dthe reforms which the nation desired.Then the Government would, perhaps, ba strong enough to propose plenary amnesty.M.Blanc\u2019s motion was rejected by 31 3to 115.GERMANY OPENING OF THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT, BERLIN, February 12.\u2014The speech announces the increase of the matricu- latory contributions of

lands of what is known as Indian territory west of the State of Arkansas, which territory is designated, recognized and described by treaties and Jaws of the United States, and by the Executive authorities, as Indian country, and as sach is only subject to occupation by Indian tribes, the officers of the Indian Department, militar posts, and such persons as may be «privileged to reside and trade therein under intercourse laws of the United States, and whereas those laws provide for the removal of all persons residing and trading therein without express permission of the Indian Department and agents, and also of all persons whom such agents may deem to be improper persons to reside in the Indian country, and whereas in aid and support of such organized movement, 1t has been represented that no further action will be taken to | revent persons from going to said territory and settling therein, but such representations are wholly without authority ; now,therefore, for the purpose of properly protecting the interests of the Indian nations and tribes, as well as of the United States in the said Indian territory, and of duly enforcing the laws overning the same, I, Rutherford B Bayes, President of the United Statesdo admonish and warn all such persons £0 intending, or preparing to remove on said lands, or into said territory with- ont permission of the proper

they will be speedily and immediately removed therefrom by the agent, according to the laws made and provided, and no efforts will be spared to prevent the invasion of said territory, the rumours spread by evil disposed persons to the ! contrary, notwithstanding, and if neces sary the aid and assistance of the military forces of the United States wil be invoked to carry into proper execution

February 12.The Chancellor of the Exchequer denied the truth of a despatch stating that a treaty had been signed by which Persia would bo permitted to occupy Herat in return for her engagement to assist England in Afghanistan.He said he could add nothing to his recent reply on the subject, which was that commuications on the subject releasing Persia from her treaty obligations not to take possession of Herat had been under consideration, but an understanding with Persia had not yet been reached, and it was, therefore, inconvenient to make any sta\u2018ement.Mr.Bourke, Under-Secretary of the Foreign Department, replying to a question as to the claim of the United States for damages alleged to have been done by Newfoundlaud fishermen in Fortune Bay to the Massachusetts fishing fleet, said no measure had been taken relative to the pecuniary claim, which was still under the Government's consideration.No measure had been taken for abrogating or amending clause 33 of the Treaty

(Home-Rauler) seconded and Mr.Finnigan (Liberal) supported Mr.O'Donnell\u2019s amendment.The amendment was rejected by 118 to 12 and the report of the Address agreed In a speech on a motion for the second reading of the Irish Distress Bill Mr.Synan (Home-Ruler) moved an amendment objecting to use the Church Surplus Fand for Irish relief.He urged that the advances should come from Imperial resources.Mr, O'Shaughnessy (Home-Ruler) seconded the amendment, Sir George Colthurst (Home Ruler) urged the Goveroment -to institute works other than sanitary.Sir S.Northcote concurred in the opi- niou that the nature of the works should not be restricted.The Government had aiready appointed three inspectors, and had authorized the appointmentof three more to superintend worke authcrized under the Bill.He pointed out that the Irish Church Fund belonged to the Irish people, and the distress only af- \u2018fected the Irish people.Ic was not prc- posed to appropriate any portion of the fund, but merely to make advances therefrom.No fund could be better used for the relief of distress than the Church surplus fund.Jt.would, of course, be necessary hereafter te consiw der what should be done to.meet a recar- rence of such an emergency, After some remarks from several Irish members, Mr.Lowther, Chief See retary for Ireland, denied that the Government had any idea of protecting the

evening with a grand vocal and instrumental cen- cert, and addresses by the Revs.Messrs.Haslem, Black, Rogers and the Hon.L.S.Huntington.Notwithstanding the unfortunate weather the lurge Hall was crowded, over 800 being present, consisting not only of residents of the village, but from all parts of the County of Shefford.Mr, Andrew Kay, Mayor of the township of Granby, took the chair, and, after an overture by the Granby orchestra, called on Mr.A.C.Savage, Mayor of the village of Granby, who stated briefly that the former Hall, which had been built but three years, was destroyed by fire a year ago, and this magnificent building had been erected in its stead during the past summer.The building 18 45ft x 95ft, built of brick, with roof covered with tin.It is two storeys high besides a basement, which is used as a fire department, and wood and furnace rooms.on the first floor are the Council Hall and Committee Rooms, and the caretaker\u2019s apartments, The Public Hall occupies the entire second floor, and is one of the finest in the Eastern Townships.The building has been built jointly by the Municipalities of this village and of the township of Granby, in the ratio of three-fifths and two-fifths respectively.The musical part of the programme was ably executed, the Granby orchestra rendering valuable assistance, Besides the three grand choruses, there were solos by Miss Frost, Miss Champeney and Mr, Clark, and a vocal duett by Misses Miner and Bullock, which were excellest, and the piano solo by Miss Clark and the duett by Mrs.Robinson and Mrs.Kinney, and that by Mre.Gatien and Miss Beaubien, were well rendered, and did no injustice to the magnificent Weber Piano, kindly and gratuitously furnished for the occasion, by the New York Piano Co, of Montreal.The Hon.L.S.Huntington addressed the audience for half an hour, and was listened attentively to with profound attention, resuming his seat amidst loud and prolonged applause.Eppa\u2019s

yesterday afternoon, reminded the citizé®s of the fact that there was muchmore than an ordinary event on the tapis.This was no less than à public reception to Bishop Fabre who returned from his visit to the Pope on Wednesday.The Reception Committee, with the Mayor, proceeded to the Bishop's Palace soon after two o\u2019clock, and had an interview with his Lordship, who gave then his benediction.In the meantime the #trees had beeu filled with people, who lined the route from the Palace to the Church of Notre Dame on each side the way, 80 that it required the POLIOR ARRANGEMENTS should be complete.A posse of police, under the command of Sub-Chief Maher and Sergeants Robinson and Glynn, was stationed at the Bishop\u2019s Palace ; another under the command of Sergeant Hynes was stationed at Victoria equare, to keep the way clear there ; a third, under Act- ing-Sergeant Egan, comrianded the situation at tie corner of Radegonde and Lagauchetiere streets; a fourtn, under Acting- Serge.nt Knowles, did duty near the Church, while the fifth and largest, under Sub-Chief Lancy and Sergeants Gauthier,.Miller and Beaudry, kept a passage for the procession in front of the Notre Dame Church.THE PROCESSION.Soon after three o'clock His Lordship, accompanied by the Mayor, the Vicar- General and Superior of the Seminary, came down the steps of the Palace and entered a sleigh.The procession then moved off in the following order :\u2014 Boys of the Friars\u2019 School carrying red and white flags.Scholars of the Christian Brothers\u2019 School.Students of the Grand Seminary.The Band of the Montreal College.Svudents of Montreal Usllege.Students of tte Victoria College, headed by Dr.Coderre.Then came a large number of citizens, amongst whom we noticed Messrs.C S Schiller, Z

(President St Jean Baptiste Society), Judge Jette, Chief Paradis, J A Ouimet, S Pagnuelo, Aldermen Genereux, Grenier, Lavigne, Jeannotte, and many others of the clergy and laity.Awaiting His Lordship at the Church, among others, were the tollowing elergy- men :\u2014Rev Fathers Dowd, Hogan, Mc- Donald, Sentenne, Abbe Verreault, Lemonde, Dube, Tasse, Prevost, Lenoir, Sanc.ois, Vacher, Baile,

Mereau, Dufresne (Procurer-General), Lesage, Leblanc, Harrel, Lussier, Bruchesi, Salmon, Lonergan, and others.AT NOTRE DAME, Never before have we seen such & vast congregation assembled within the dome of \u201c Notre Dame.\u201d It spoke volumes of the love that our Catholic fellow-citizens bear towards their Bishop.There could not have been less than 20,000 persons present.Every part of the large Cathedral was packed with an attentive congregation.It being the season of Lent there was no great attempt at decoration about the Altar.Some beautiful banners of red, green and blue silk, with mottoes worked m gold, were hung on the pilastres of the reredos, and when the lights on the Altar were all ablaze, the scene was most beautiful.About half.past three \u2018Bourdon \u201d gave out its ronorus peal, soon followed by the higher peals of the other bells, The procession was now nearing the great fane, and the large body of police outside had some trouble in keeping the main entrance clear, so eager was the vast crow, that lined the front of \u2018\u2018 Notre Dame,\u201d to see their good Bishop after his long journey from the Holy Father and the Eternal City.Inside the ehurch, the Rev.Cure Rousselot, the Parish Priest, with his attendant clergy, stood at the main door, with the acolytes carrying the Holy Water in a silver ewer, ready to welcome the Chief Pastor of the Diocese.The organ, manipulated by Mr.Labelle, begins to swell out the well-known air, See the Corquerings Hero Comes,\u201d and presently the vast congregation rises, and the large choir breaks oat into the anthem as the Bishop enters the church, and, preceded by Cure Rousselot and his clergy, walks slowly up the centre aisle, bowing right and left to the loving salutations that greeted him.On reaching the chancel, His Lordship turned round and faced his people.with a pleasant, happy smile on his face.He motioned them to be seated, until all those in the procession had been accomodated with seats.The students from the Grand Seminary, with the other priests from the Palace and adjacent Parishes, ranged themselves on each side of the altar.In the centre of the chancel, and facing the allar, was placed a chair and Prie- Dieu for the Bishop, both were upholstered in urple velvet and gold.His Worship the Mayor, having on his right and left Judge Loranger and Mr.Cherrier, and surrounded by the Presidents of the several French and Irish Catholic Socleties, stood in front of the Bishop just outside the chancel rails.All now being in readiness, his Lordship rises and so does the congregation.His Lordship is supported by the Revds.Canon Moreau, Cure Rousselot, Father Dowd, Father Cazeau, 8.J., and Father Baile, Superior of St.Sulpice.The Rev.Father Baile, on behalf of the clergy of the diocese, then read an address of congratulation and welcome.\u2018After this was concluded, His Worship Mayor Rivard advanced to the door of the chancel rails and, standing there, read in a clear voice, that was heard all over the church, the following address of welcome from the citizens ;\u2014 To His Lordship Mgr.E.Charles Fabre Bishop of Montreal : MoNexIGNEUR\u2014Permit the Catholics of your diocese to offer to your Lordship their felicitations on your safe voyage and happy return to your country after a gom- paratively long absence.This absence was a long one for us, and we only found compensation for it in the assurance that it was necessary for the discharge of a duty which the interests of religion, and of your diocese, imposed upon your Lordship.It was not the first time that you had visited the Old World, you knew well previously the men and their institutions, and there your Lordship was not unknown.But it was the first time that, as Bishop of Montreal, you carried to the commou Father of the faithful the prayers of one of the most important of American dioceses, and re~ ceived in return the benedictions which emanate over Christendom from the eternal city.The many works with the direction and maintenance of which your Lordship is eharged te direct and maintain, the numerons communities confided to your supervision, tke educated youth, in which you have always manifested mo lively an interest, the zealous clergy placed under your direction, the parishes which demand and obtain from you so careful attention, in fact all the diocese cannot fail to benefit by the result of your recent sojourn in the centre of Catholicism.Long, Moneeigeur, before your elevation to the Episcopacy you possessed innumerable and warm friends,whorejoice to-day in witnessing the exercise of your zeal and charity in a wide and fitting sphere, and who have nore the lees diminished in their regard.Already, vir, in all olasses of society, you were long ago locked upon as the proper candidate for the Episcopate by many of your friends, who recognized in you the courteous protector, the enlightened counsellor and the devoted friand.They rejoice [ tc-day to see that the geal and the charity of your Lordebip being exercised in a more vast and elevated sphere has in no way been abated.These sentiments are shared by ail the faithful in this city, whom your elevation to the Episcopate bas placed en rapport with your Lordship.They have all received from you the same benevolent consideration, they have all been the object of your solicitude, and all bave felt the effects of a zeal which always manifested itgelf under She most attractive and persuasive forms.Permit us to add, Monseigneur, that, before your departure, all were afflicted by a step which was ail the more regrettable because it threatened a prolonged separation from us.The considerations which forced your Lordship to establish your residence outside the city, although then unimpeachable, will, we dare to hope, soon be modified.We hope to see an end put to a condition of things which, by rendering less easy the relations between the pastor and his flock, is in every way to be - our most sincere wishes for your welfare, regretted.Permit us to add, Monseigneur, and for the success of your \u2018wna nal.and to express our profeund and unalterable devotion to our faith, of which you are the minister ; to the Soveraign Pontiff whom you have just visited, and to yourself, whom we venerate and cherish above all others.S Rivard, Mayor; T J J Loranger, Pres Ass Bt Jean Baptiste; J B Rolland.ex- Presa Ass St Jean Baptiste ; W Wil:on, Pres St Patrick\u2019s Society; C S Cherrier, Pres Reception Committee ; J A Ouimet, Sec Reception Committee.Bis LorpsaIP, in reply to the clergy of the Seminary and His Worship the Mayor, expressed his pleasure on seeing the great manifestation of welcome which bad been made, and tcok it to he a sense of the faith which they possessed, for which he thanked the clergy of his diocese.He had, he said, visited Rome on three occasions, and each time he had met a new Pope.First he went as a student, then as a priest, and then ae a Bishop, bus be had not seen the same Pope twice.Still he had been greatly impressed wiih a sense of piety from each.Whilst at Rome he had to render an account of the work of his diocese, and he was proud that he could say to the Pope that he was surrounded by a numerous clergy, whose zal was second to cone, and he had additional pleasure in telling of the many religious institutioas of the city.He was also glad in being able to speak of the general comfort of Canada, especially when other countries were raging with civil war.In giving an account of his diocese he had said that all which could be done for its good was done.In conclusion, His Lordship eaid that he should have to appeal to the people of Montreal to assist him out of his pecuniary difficulties, and he bad not the slightest doubt but they would respond to his call.On its conclusion, His Lordship and his clergy retired to the Sacristy to robe for the service of the Te Deum, the organist in t'e meantime playing a beautiful voluntary.The clergy while in the Sacristy received from his Lordship the Papal Benediction.The Bishop officiated at the Altar, his Crozier being carried by one of his Chaplains.The Rev.Cure Rousselot was Deacon, and the Rev.Father Dowd Sub Deacon, assisted by the Rev Father Giband.The choir, composed of well trained boys and male voices, with a good orchestra under the direction of Father Durocher, and Mr.Labelle, organist, sang the Te Dewm in a splendid manner.At the conclusion of the musigal service, His Lordship elevated the Host, and conferred the Papal Benediction on all present.The public ceremonies were now over, and the large congregation began slowly to disperse, after taking part in ome of the most pleasing events that has happened in the city for years.Large numbers of the laity called on His Lordship after the service was over, in the Sacristy, and were heartily welcomed by him.We have been given to understand also that early yesterday morning His Lordship Bishop Bond, of the Anglican Church, called at the Palace, and welcomed back his brother Bishop to the city.This is most pleasing, testifying, as it does, to the good-will, brotherly and Christian feeling existing between the heads of the two principal branches of the Christian Church here.The bells of Notre Dame, St.Patrick\u2019s and at the Palace pealed forth welcomes at a late hour last evening.Mr.G.E.O.Labadie, Church-warden of Notre Dame, is to be congratulated upon the splendid arrangement made by him for the ceremonies.LEGAL INTELLIGENGE.CIRCUIT COURT.Mr.Justice TORRANCE, Presiding.AvorezR LIVELY SCENE\u2014ESCAPE OF AN OLD Woman COMMITTED FOR CONTEMPT.Among the many cases for trial in this Court, which came up yesterday morning, was that of Aurelie Allard vs John Me- Farlane.The action was brought to recover $4.50 wages, the plaintiff alleging that she had been sent away before her réonth was up.À young girl named Cousens, a servant in the same house, testified that Aurelie had left of her own accord.Now an extraordinary scene happened, Aurelie, on hearing this, became infuriated, and, rushing between the gentlemen of the long gown, shouted in broken English, \u201cIt lie! it lie!\u201d at the same time giving terrific thumps on the table.His Hoxrour said\u2014Her ca:e is decided against her, and in the meantime Ishall take into consideration what I shall do with this unfortunate woman, After a moment\u2019s pause His Honour said: Mr Prothonotary, make out a commitment to tie common gaol for twenty-four hours for contempt of Court, The woman.returned into the Court room shortly after with a emile en her face, which soon turned inte abject fear on two young lawyers explaining to her her position.In a moment she flew out of the CUourt-reom, before the crier could apprehend her.She will be arrested toserve the twenty-four hours for contempt.IN CHAMBERS.Before Chief Justice Sir A.A.Donion.Yesterday morning, the Chief Justice was waited upon by Mr.Keller and Mr.Archambault, the former represen ting four unlicensed liquor-sellers, named Maranda, Brosseau, Barsalou and Dey, nos.in gaol, and the latter representing the Crown.In the case of Maranda and Brosseau, petitions for writs of habeas corpus were presented, on the same grounds as that granied by the Hon.Mr.Justice Ramsay, viz, that the law was in such a state that it did not authorize any charges.His HONOUR said no argument would be necessary, unless some new grounds were brought forward, as he agreed with the decision of the Hen.Mr.Justice Ramsay.Mr.ARCHAMBAULT opposed the writ of habeas corpus in the case ot Barsalou on the ground that he was sent to gaol on the 30th September, 1879, and the License Act amendment, which had caused the trouble.had only come into effect on the 30th of October, 1879.Mr.KELLER said he would not urge that ground, but that he had not been cons demned to imprisonment in default of paying the fine.In the case of Dey, the pri- eoner had been charged twice for costs as in the case of Margaret Brady, who was liberated on that account.His HoNour granted the four writs as the grounds were indisputable, and the prisoners will be liberated to day.Some 30 writs of certiorari are to be taken out by the same advocate on behalf of others who have been similarly convicted.AMERICAN HORSES IN ENGLAND, The demand for good horses is as brisk as ever in England.Many of the horses imperted from Canada have brought good prices and given great satisfaction to buyers.But on this point we need more steady aiming at improvement.English buyers are willing to pay good prices, but they must be for goed articles.It will not pay to ship inferior animals or inferior produce of any kind, The English Live- Stock Journal, in the following brief item to horse-breeders of Canada and the United States, speaks to the point as follows :\u2014 \u201c OË late a considerable trade has been done in importing horses from the United States and Canads.The North Metropolitan tramways (this is the name given in England to all horse railroads) imported more than a ttousand.They were full of quality, with fair and in some specimens fine action.There were pairs well worth $760 to a dealer, but they have not weight enough for tramwork, and are being superseded hy the French horse cf the class so largely used for the last five years by the London Omnibus Company.Unless the recent fall in prices stops the trade, the United States will send us a great many highsclags horses\u2014of the sort Yorkshire used to breed.In the States they have plenty of mares of the right stamp for hunters, hacks and harness ; they have thoroughbred sirea to keep up quality ; they have boundless pastures of good grass and maize at a very cheap rate.On the other hand, they bave no idea of the proper make, shape and action of a riding horse or of breaking for saddle.Al} their horse talpnt has been directed to producing fast trotting borses ; thece they understand perfectly.But they are the quickest people in the world tq learn a new trade if it pays.They will learn to pick out mares and sires with riding shoulders and strong backs, thighs and necks, Their horses have sine, quality, good temper and sound constitutions to start with.With these advantages the Americans will soon fill up the blank in horse stock created by the competition of bgef and mutton in Ycrkshire and in Ireland.\u201d \u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014 Tue Minne Recorp, published by A.RB.Chisolm, 61 Broadway, New York, con tains fullest reports from the

January 20, 1880.The breaking-up of the icv on the Seine, now pretty much a thing of the pest, has been really terrific.Here, in the city itself, with all the science and practical resources of the day brought actively into play with a vi-w of directing the affair, us far as p-acticable and attenuating the uravuidable dangers of such a crisis, though the destruction of property has been considerable, there ba~e been no serious accidents and no loss of life.But in the open country, while the loss of property has been emormous, numbers of lives have been sacrificed.Several of the bridges of Paris ave so much injurad by the continuous striking of the blocks of ice against their pillars, that they are closed, and must undergo important repairs before being re-opened ; great inconvenience is thus cansed to the public, compelled to go out of its way in order to avoid danger.As for the Bridge of the Invalides, nothing is left of it but a heap of stones prejecting above the water, about the middle of the river.Firet ome arch came down with a crack and a crash, then another, then a third, and then the whole concern broke up and fell into the river.A good part of the Pont des Arts is carried away; and almost all the bridges of the capital are more or less the worse for the tremendous strain to which they have been subjected.For several days before the arrival of the crisis, the Seine became the \u201c\u201c great attraction ' for all the unoccupied people of this region, the quays on both sides of the river being crowded from daylight to dark, and tbe eager sigil-seekers being only kept from stationing themselves on the bridges by detachments of policemen.The utmost exertio:s of all e ncerned were unable to elear the quays of merchandise, boats, baths, washing-sheds, &c., before the ice from the country was borne into the town ; a hideous mass of detritus of all kinds\u2014treer, barrels, chests, spars, keels and decks of boats of every size and calling, linen, clothing, chimneya of littla steamers, everything in short that the huge blocks of ice hud crushed and gather- od up on their way, along the line of the river.Out in the country, where it was, cf course, impossible to adopt any precau tionary measures, the arrival of tne ice~ floe at any given point sent masses of ice and debris of all kinds flying over the river banks, bombarding the ficlds and roads with deafening roar, Woe to any unlucky boat imprudent enough to ascend tha Seine while the floe was descanding ! Eye-witnesses of these ecenes declare that they surpassed, in horror, everything they had ever seen or imagined.Hare, a party of p:asant.women, washing their linen at a spot from which the ice had been broken away, overtaken by the floe, some six or seven yards high, before they had time to gather up their washing and implements, all were caught and carried away by the floe, buried under the iceland lost sight of, without there being any possibility of rendering them any help; there, a flat- steamer, plying with merchandise be- tweon Havre and the capital, met by the floe was doubled up and crushed to atoms inetaneously, as though it had been a nute shell, boat, cargo, cyew sent down into the raging stream under the ice, the enormous blocks heaping themselves over it like beasts of pruy, and the frightful tragedy being overin the course of a few seconds, almost before the hapless victims of the pitiless forces of nature had bad time to shriek forth their harrowing appeal for the aid which no human power could have given them.A moment afterwards, as the floe sWept on, heaping up the blocks of ice before it, with a roar like a cannonde, nothing but the ice-coverei stream was visible to the eyes qf the horrified spectators on the hanks, Fifteen hundred harrels of wine were counted, 88 they went by, at a certain point of the Seine in the course of a few hours ; with wreckage, as previously remarked, of every kind of description, all of which is floated down to the sea, it being utterly impossible to rescue anything whatever from the grasp of the floe, notwithatanding the promptitude with which the sharp and frugal French peasants would fain have taken possession of these tempting and valuable waifs.Similar scenes have ocquryed on many of the rivera of France, while on o:hers the thaw hasbeen effected withou\u2019 accident or danger.Twelfth-Night, the Christmas Day of the Greek Church, has been brilliantly celebrated here, as usual, by the Russian and other foreign 1esidents who hold to that day a3 the orthodox date of the event they celebrate.The French, English, Italians, &c., have kept it as usual with the traditional Twelfth-Night cake, and tho honours paid to the King and Queen of the evening, and the merry dance that finishes cff the pl.asent gathering.The stallkeepers on the Boulevards, whose sales have been greatly interfered wich by the bad weather, have obtained permission to keep their places until the 11th inst, at midnight; atter which hour, they will \u201c fold their tents like the Arabs, aud noisily steal away,\u201d to the satisfaction of the rest of the world, or, at 1.ast, of that portion of its population which flads the thoroughfares of Paris much too crowded for convenience or safety, without the nuisance of these ignoble little structures, which take up so much space that can be but ill-spared by the peripatetic public, As though Paris were not already overrun with journals of all hues and sizes, good, bad, and indifferent, it appears that the German residents, some forty or fifty thousand in number, are about to found a newspaper for themselves, with the title of Deutsche Zeitung fur Paris, it will be a weekly, and will supply pelitical, commercial and general news, likely to he of special interest to Parisian Germans.The painters of this city are waxing more and more indignant at the absurd regulations for the next Fine Art Exhibition, just set up by the new Minister of Fine Arte, M.Turquet.So general is the angry d'sapproval thus excited, that it would not be impossible that the Minister\u2014who seems to have taken his idea of convenient and orderly arrangement \u201d\u2019 from the divisional sections of the display of tea, ccffee, chocolate, pickles, preserves, pease, beans, fruit, &c., of a grocer's shop\u2014may be induced to repeal an ukaz that has mo single voice in its favour but his own, Just imagine the effect of many scores of portraits, many hundreds of landscapes, several dczens of nature morte, as many pourtrayals of eockatoos, each lot filling one or more rooms, with nothing else to relieve the monotony of such a gathering and the fatigue of the visitor\u2019s eyes.Some of the rooms of the Louvre have been much injured by the frost and the damp, of which the ravages extend, alas ! to many of the finest works of the French - School, which will have to be subjected to the dangerous process of restoration, The weight of the anow on the Great Gallery was such that great fears were entertained of its falling in; happily tbat danger has been averted for this time ; but, with such an example of the dangerous whims of the Weather- Office, who shall say that some future winter may not witness the ruin of the splendid masterpieces contained in that well-known gallery?Meantime, the great establishment in question has just been enriched by a fine female portrait by Gerard ; a recent be~ quest.It has been placed among the works of the French School, by the side of Priedhon's ¢ Christ on the Cross\u2019 with which it contrasts somewhat curiously, being a lovely likeness of a beauty of a past generation, the Countess Regnault de Sainte Jean d\u2019Augely, with pink roses in her hair, seated at one end ot a divan, covered with garnet-coloured velvet.Italian journals speak highly of the group, im plaster, just finished by the sculptor Caroni, of Florence, representing Viotor Emmanuel at the last moments of his exietence.The late King ia lying stretched on his eouch ; near him stands Prince Humbert, his son and his successor, to whom he is confidisg his last wishes.The group is to be executed in marble and placed in the room in which * King Honestman \u201d breathed his last.The subscription for raising a monument to the late Prince Imperial is now closed, the amount collected being £8,000.Baron Hauesmaun, the President of the Committee appointed to this work, is believed to have enggeeted tbat the best form to give to the proposed memento, would be à small, reund, Memorial-Chapel, surrounded by a garden, cn one of the highest points of Paris, between the Are de l'Etoile and the Invalides, If this idea be adopted, the Committee will have, when the building is finished, to obtain the authorigation of the Goveroment to its being used as a place of worship, In the present unsettled state of France, it seems almost a pity to spend money on any monument to anybody but scientifig men, musicians, writers, and Republicans.During M.Gambetta\u2019s coming tenure of power, monuments referring to personages of French history will probably he respected by the author of Oppo.tunism ; but, should be be swept away by Clemenceau, Rochefort, and the rest of the \u2018\u2018 Reformers \u201d\u2019 who count on succeeding him, every vestaga of the past that is susceptible ot being made to disappear, will undoubtedly be not oniy got rid of, but destroyed thoroughly and promptly, The various Academies which constitute the Frengh Institute have elected their Presidents and Vice.Presidents for the present year.That of Inscriptions and Belle-Lettres has named M.M.Leblanç and Pavet de Courteil ;

and 2 Mountain Train Batteries with 9 guns, 2 Gatling guns ani 2 companies of Sappers and Miner-, and the latest official health report of troops, British and Native, and followers, states it to be \u201cexcellent.\u201d The new Sherpur Cantonment affords adequate cover for the whole of this force and its followers, and can contain in perfect security within its entrenched works, not only the carriage, but, full food supplies for five montha, and forage for ur- wards of three months, which General Eoberts had already stored.There is no available information as to the exact amount of ammunition in magazine in Sherpur.It is, howeve-, known that General Roberts bad made bis arrangements for destroying the bulk of that stored in the Bala Hissar, nnd it may therefore be assumed that he had removed to the Cantonmezt all that he required to supplement his own, and to provide for the use of a proportion of the heavy and field guns which fell into his bands on his way to, and occupation of, Cabul.These, 214 in number, are all parked in Sherpur, 112 are rifled ¢f from 20-pr.to 4-pr, calibres of Afghan manufacture.The remainder sre smooth-bore of cll calibres from 24-pr.guns, and 8\" howitzers to 3-pr.guns to 6} mortars.Amongst them are four 18 pr.guns, two 8\" howitzers, seven 54\u201d morcars, and seventeen G-pr.field guns of English maou- facture.While General Roborts is thus supplied with more than enough heavy guns for the Sherpur works, it is almcst certain, on the other hand, that those 214 guns represent a very large proportion indeed of the Afghan Artillery ; and that the enemy is almost stripped of that arm, without which no attack they might makes on General Roberts\u2019 position could be really formidable, notwithetutding their great qumorie :1 superiorisy.By deciding not to attempt, in the face of vastly superior numbers, the defence of theextonded line cf positions on the heights whieh dominate the city and the Bali Hissar, and by withdrawing his whole force to the Sherpur Cantonmentand the heights of Bemaru, General Roberts secures at once the safety, shelter and rest of his forca ® and their supplies, and frees a strong division of all arms wherewith to assume tbe offensive whenever occasion may offer.The position of Sheypur ean, there is little reason ta douht, be easily held by a garrison of 2,500 men, leaving a division of &,000 men of all arms for employment against the enemy, wi h choice of time, direction, and opportunity for the delivery of attacks, Though it might perhaps be anticipated that, on finding the attempt to rush General Roberts\u2019 force by a suddenly com= bined movement has failed, and that bis position is now so strong as to hold out little hopes of its falling into their hands, the tribesmen who form the combination will, from want of organization and supplies, gradually draw away from Cabul and return to their homes, yet this could not be counted ou for any practical purpose, and it is therefore necessary at once to reeopen the communications between Jugduliuk and Cabul by force.The troops which ab present occupy the line from Jumrood to Jugdulluk under Major-General Bright, compose a total strength of all ranks of 12,016, (including the small forces of \u2014 A Battery Royal Artillery, Wing British Infantry, egiment Native Infantry, recently sent fiom Peshawar), of whom 8,861 are British and 8,654 Native ; thus divided\u2014 5 Batteries of Artillery with 30 guns.4 Rogiments of Cavalry.6 Companies of Sappers.15 Rogiments of Infantry.Supplies are laid in for the whole line for two montlg, and in the latest return the Brigade and Division complements of car- rlage were given as complete.Both the Khyber and the Cabul Divisions have received their supplies of warm clothing.It is believed that the brigades of Brigadier- Generals Gough and Arbuthnot will be found sufficient to overcome the opposition which the tribes in their tront will certainly offer, and to maintain the communications between Cabul and Gundamuk.General Gough\u2019s infantry brigade consists of\u20141 regiment British and 3 regiments Native infantry, or 2,200 of all ranks, General Arbuthnot\u2019s 2 regiments of Britigh and 3 Native infantry, or 8,200 in all In view, however, of tkis force being insufficient and the consequent need for moving the 3rd Brigade above Gundamuk, the needful orders have issued for the immediate assembly of a reserve division of all ayms at Peshawar, to consist of\u2014 1 Brigade of Cavalry, 1 British and 2 Native Rrgiments ; and 1 Battery of Horse Artiliery with aix guns, à Brigades of Infantry, 3 British and 7 Native Infantry with 18 guus, These troops will move at once and be in readiness for any further advance inte the Pasa, or other point on the frontier, as circumstances may seem to require.There is sufficient carriage at Jhelum to move these troops to Peshawar as they arrive ; and the Commissariat are now engaged in purchasing 10,000 camels or their equivalents in mules and ponies for the equipment of the division at Peshawar.As it is further necessary to prepare for the additional supplies and their caralage, which the forward movement of this division would necessitate, being stored at Jellalabad, Lundi Kotal, and Gundamuk, the needful provision for this contingency will be made in the Transport Department.If it be considered desirable to make an advance towards Cabul from Kandabar, the reserve brigade in the Bolan, consisting of three regiments muder Brigadier.General Phayre, can be moved up at once to Pesheen, its place being taken by Brigadier-General Burrowes\u2019 brigade of three regiments, Bombay Army, already ordered to hold themselves 1n readiness to move.General Stewart has now under his command along the whole line to Dadur 9,045 effective troops of all arme, 2,376 Europeans, and 6,669 Natives, with 63 guns, including a siege train.The latest reports state that the Ziimusht Expedition on which Brigadier- General Tytler's force was employed is practically concluded.It is doubtful whether any of the Kurram Valley Force could ba withdrawn, but they are available for a demonstration on the Shutargardan road which would have the effect of draw ing ff the Wardeh and Logar tribesmen frem Cabul.The force employed hy General Tytler on this late expedition, consigted of five guns, 800 Britishe and 2,350 Native Infantry end 260 Native Cavalry\u2014taken from the force of 20 guns, 1,850 British Iufantry, 1,800 Native Cavalry, and 6,000 Infantry commanded by Brigadier-General Watson in Kohat and Kurram.It has not been considered necessary to make any further provision for an increase cf the forcesin the field ; already amounting in round numbers, with the division, now under formation, to some 42,500 mrn of all ranks, and 160 guns.Should it, however, become necessary, the Military Department will submit proposals for the provision of further reiaforcements to the reserve of the Kandahar or Kayber line.Signed) ALLEN JoBNsoN, Colonel, Secretary, Government of India, Military Department.ANSWER THIS, Did you ever know any person to be iil, without inaction of the Stomach, Liver or Kidneys, or did you ever know one who was well when eitber was obstructed or inactive ;
