hold off until they see some better ground for the existence of the present quotations in America than speculative enterprise.Consumption, however, goes on though speculation is absent, and business, though quiet, is very steady.Prices pave been maintained except for Russian, for which sellers were obliged to accept a little less money, though all the depression was recovered to-day (Monday).Maize is still scarce om the spot, and prices have improved both in London and Liverpool.Barley and Oats were quiet, but for the latter an occasional advance of 3d per quarter was obtainable.The arrivals at ports of call were moderate.There has been a steady demand for wheat, chiefly for the United Kiogdum, at an advance of 1s @ 1s 6d per quarter.Only one cargo of maize arrived, which fetched 27s G3, being an improvement of 91 per quarter.Business in wheat for shipment was limited, owing to the indifference of buyers and ! an advance demanded by sellers.Maize was in active demand, chiefly for February and March shipment, at 25:@253 64.The sales of English wheat last xeek were 34,530 qrs., at 43s 1d per gr.,2gainst 56,550 gre.at 37s 7d per qr.for the same week last year.The imports into the United Kingdom during the week ending February 14 were 1,112,958 ewts.of wheat, and 216,301 cwts.of flour.\u201d NEW YORK MARKETS, February 25, 1880.CATTLE MARKET\u2014For Beef Cattle the demand has been slow, and holders in some instances have submitted to lower figures.The sales were at 101c @ 11c for extra and fancy Steers, to dress 57 lbs @ 88 lbs to the gross cwt., and 9c @ 104c for fair to prime, to dress 56 lbs.Calves have ruled dull, but with light receipts receivers were enabled to maintain previous quotations, Sheep have been in request and firm at $5 50 @ $6.56} for ordinary to choice.The receipts for the week were 9,692 Beef Cattle, 770 Calves, 22636 Sheep.The shipments during the same time were 986 live Cattle, 6,180 qrs.Beef, 1,700 carcases Mutton, and 359 dressed Hoge.COAL~~The appearance ofthe market for Anthracite has much improved since the large operators succeed 1a inducing individual producers to join hands in limiting production to current requirements.Prices have s'eadily advanced, until now what is termed \u2018\u2018 cheap Coal\u201d is very difficult to obtain at anything under circular rates, and it is said that many contracts have recently been closed at the full printed figures.The demand cen- ! tinues chiefly for the large size, Stove and t Chestnut selling very slowly, though the quantity of thelatter upon the market is small, 80 that the be fore accumulated stocks will soon ehow a liberal reduction.The quotations are\u2014for Liverpool House Channel $11, Liverpool Gas do $8, Newcastle do Caking $3.75/@%4, Scotch

capital, he empowered Mr.Taylor to set about the construction of the intended engine ; and the latter employed a young engineer named Symington, who wus then residing in Edinburgh for the study of mechanics, and who had alreidy attempied some improvements on the steam engine.After long discussion it was agreed that the latter should form it on a plan of his own, and that the experiment should be made almost privately, in the ensuing summer, on the Loch cf Dalswinton, in \u2014Dumfrieeshire.Sev.ral months were ocoupied in the construction of the engine, to see after which Mr.Taylor remained in town, while his patron and pupils returned to the country.At length, to his joy, it was completed, aud he proceeded with Symington to Dalswinton, where, ca the 14th of October, 1788, the great experiment was made.The event had been noised abroad, however, and on that day the beautiful little laka | which liy oa Mr.Miller\u2019s property was surrounded by a great crowd of spectators.The vessel built for the purpose was a dcuble one, and the engine, which was furnished with a four-ineh cylinder, was placed in a species of framework on the deck, and the experiment, which was destined to effect such a revolution in nautical matters, proved a perfeat success.Tha little vessel moved at the rate of five miles an hour, and the connection besween the engines and the paddles was free from all clumsiness; while it aleo appeared that all dread from the introducton of a furnace into a structure ço inflammable as a woud- en ship could be obviated.For severak days the experiment was repeated, and thus the first steamship continued to.traverse in safety the little imland lake, to the wonder and delight of all who came to see her ; and a ful} account cf his invens tion, or adaptation of steam to seafaring purposes, was drawn up by Mr.Taylor, and inserted in the Scot's Magazine of the following month.Before applying for a patent to proteet their joint invention, Messrs.Taylor and Miller deemed it necessary to test it more fally, by its application to.a vesgel of a larger siz3; and tha : former, accompanied by Symington, had | one constructed at the Carron Foundry in | the summer of 1879.This eraft was of considerable dimensions, and had an engine, the cylinder of which was 18 inches in diameter.Mister drew .nmear before she was completely fitted up and launeued on the Forth and Clyde Canal, in presence of the Caron Committee of management, aud of all who were interested in the matter.Thestcam was got up, and the vec- sel moved smoothly for a considerable distance beyond Lock Six:een ; bub on giving the engine full play, the flat boards of the paddle«wheels, which had been too slender- ly constructed, broke, and put an end ta the voyage.Re-constructed on a stronger principle, she made a s2cond trip ea the 26th of December, when she attained: seven miles per hour; and a full account of the invention, written by the future Lord Cullen for the Edinburgh nowspa- pers of 1790, brought it prominently before the country as a new means for extending inland navigation.2W0 URGANS , Regulate firat the stamaoh, second the liver,

praise of the piece and the clever way it is produced by the Thoive Company.Everything runs sffoothly and \u2018thé fun and merrunent- is sustained from the rising of the curtain on the first act till the finish of the play.Boars of laughter greet the absurd situations aud sayings of \u201c Sprinkle,\u201d Mr, Thorne, * Mcodle,\u201d Mr.Joseph, and present one at the Academy, for genuine acting, and we again ad.ise all who wish to enjoy a pleasant evening, .ot to fail seeing \u201c An Arabian Night.\u201d NORDHEIMERS HALL.CONCERT BY MME.ELENA WATERS\u2019 PUPILS.A very large and fashionable audience was present last evening at the above hall to enjoy the chamber concert fiven by Mdme.Elena Waters\u2019 pupils.| The stage was transfermed into & haudeome drawing- room, with its five o\u2019clock tea-tables, &c., and ranged in every niche and in front of the foot-lights were beautiful flowers and exotics of all kinds, in fact, the young ladies were embowered in roses, and they deserved it, The concert, from the cpen.ing piece to the end, was a series of pleasureable surprises.The young ladies, one and all, showed wonderful proti- ciency in the divine art, acd in the choruses, their precision in attacking, correct time and harmony was most marked and called forth well-deserved applause from what may be justly called a critical audience.The concert opened with a pianoforte duett, then followed \u201c Row us Swiftly,\u201d a chorus which was excellently given.¢ The Little Mendicant,\u201d a song by \u201c Gumbert\u201d was well sung by a lady whose name we are sorry we were unable to obtain.The flute solo by Master Murphy, for so young a player, was well executed, and he received an encore, which he well deserved.A Scena and Aria\u201d from * Der Freischutz\u201d, by Weber, was next given by Miss Jennie Jarvis.This was very courageons for so young à singer to essay, for it is one of the most difficulifof pieces and tests the powers of a soprano to the utmost, there being #0 much vocalization to be attended to.The young lady, though slightly nervous for the first few bars, soon showed vocal powers of a high erder, and displayed not only a voice of great power, but each note fulf, clear and round in the register.It is also very flexible and her vocalization was very true.She was loudly applauded and an encore demanded, which she responded to by singing *\u201c In the Gloaming.\u201d A solo and chorus (from Panati) Bellini ended the first part of the programme.The solo was sung by Miss Donnelly in a manner that left nothing to criticise, and the chorus were so well up that the audience demanded a repitition.Mr, Fisher, in a well-played violin solo opened the second part of the entertainment, and was deservedly applauded.Then Miss Donnelly ave \u201c\u2019Tis the Gale,\u201d a romance by \u201c\u2018 Tito Mattei.\u201d The number was a difficult one, and well tested the vocal powers of the fair.singer, However, every note was clearly sent forth, and the many runs through the piece were well executed.Bhe was loudly applauded and an encore demanded to which she kindly responded by singing \u201c Love Once Again\u201d in good style.Madame Waters sang O Quali Mi Risægliano,\u201d by Braja\u201d in a manner that showed the audience that she has not lost singing.She received a warm welcome and was encored.The duett \u201c La Sorelle\u201d by Arditi,\u201d by Misses Donnelly and Jarvis, was the gem of the evening, and called forth rapturous applause.The young ladies being tired, bowed their acknowledgments.The concert came to a clese by the singing of the ¢ Stabat Mater\u201d and the National Anthem.We congratulate the pupils of Madame their very enjoyable entertainment, SATTER, TO-NIGHT.The first concert of this eminent pianist takes place this evening at Nordheimer\u2019s Hall, where we hope to see a goodly gathering, to listento his interpreta tion of Mendelssohn, Raff, Chopin and Berlioz, as well as some of his own compositions and transcriptions.Most of our professionals have purchased tickets, wishing to test, not only the powers of the artist, but the qualities of the Weber grand on which he is to perform.THE LUCAN TRAGEDY EXAMINATION CONTINUED.From our Special Correspondent.London, Ont, February 26.The adjourned preliminary examination cf the prisoners charged with the Donnelly murder was held to-day at the Uourt- House, before Squires Pevers and Fisher, and in the presence of a crowded auditory.A certificate was produced from Dr Sutton that W.Donnelly was ill and unable to be present.The first witness called was Charles Pope, who testified\u2014I am = County Constable, and had a warrant placed in my hands for the arrest of James Carroll and the two Mahers on Thursday, the day following the murder ; Constable Hodge and I wen: to execute it on Carroll, whom we found on the Roman line going eastward; he was between Donnelly\u2019s homestead and Maher\u2019s house ; we said he was wanted by the Chief in Lucan to work up the murder case ; he asked to be allowed to go home and change his clothes ; we went home with him while he changed his clothing, which occupied about ten minutes ; at the house of the Maher\u2019s Carroll went up-stairs, took off his clothes and changed his shirt and pants; he had a dark coat on when he came out; I asked when we came down whether he had his handcuffs, and ho said Yes , we were not in his bedroom, and had not at that time a warramt to arrest him ; we did not want to let him know he had been arrested ; he came along willingly, although he seemed much frightened by changing bis colour from paleness to redness at times; we talked about the murder on the way to Lucan, but he did not seem to care to make any reply to what we said, I even pointed to the ruins, but he would not notice ; he did not say where he had been on the night of the murder ; I .asked him when he first heard of the murder, and he said the next afternoon j I did not ask him where he slept that night ; wo took him to McLean's Hotel, in Lucan, where he was informed what we wanted him for ; Hodge and Police Constable Larkin, of London, were there, and when Hodge told him what he was arrested for, he said all right, dropped his head and held cut his hands for the handcuffs; he seemed frightened and did not speak a word ; he seemed to be shocked so that he could not speak ; I searched him at Lucan and he had no handcuffs with him, at which J made no remark; we locked him up in the lock-up; he had on a brown overcoat and coarse home-made flannel shirt and a pair of tweed pants, dark grey in colour; he had on a light pair of long boots ; we arrested James Maher, junior and senior, an hour or so after Carroll's arrest ; they were also searched and locked up; after being informed of the cause of their arrest, the young mas said nothing, but the old man said * I expected it ;\u201d we found nothing on them ; never heard threats iesued ; Carroll put on a white shirt in place of the home-made woollen one ; ho said he wanted to change his clothes ig order to go up decent and looking respectable.To Mr, MacMahan\u2014I got the warrant from the Chief of Police in Lucan, on Thursday, about noon, Mary Thompson, sworn, said\u2014I am the wife of Mr.Thompson, ard live in Biddulph,}in the Roman line, that is the same lice on which the Donnelly house was located ; it is about a quarter of a mile from the Donnelly's ; there is no house between ours and the Donnelly\u2019s; their house could be seen from ours plainly ; I am acquainted with James Carroll and his brother William ; the latter was working at our place and lived there.He slept up stairs; there is one bedroom on the south side of the bouss and two on the east, where Carroll slept.There is only one window, which looked out upon the Donnelly house; the bel was in the north-east corner of the room and the Li ead was turned towards the north.On the night of the murder James Carroll and Bill Carroll slept in that room together ; I attend to the rcoms myself and changed the linen of the bed on the Saturday previous, There were two pillow cases and one sheet changed; the young men went to bed between 9 and 10 o'clock, both at nearly the same time ; I went to bed a little afterwards with my husband ; there was no one else in the house ; my husband and I slept in the back room down stairs ; the stairs are in the north corner here\u2014a diagram was shown the witness, and the several rooms pointed out: Witnesscoatinued\u2014The attic was all in one rcom with one window ; opposite the bed we kept the door locked ; I don\u2019t sleep soundly ; my bedroom was not locked, and is never locked ; I recollect the Chief of Police coming to our house on the Saturday following the murder ; I had a conversation with him, but did not accompany him to Carrell\u2019s room on the occasion of his first visit; on another day I went with him to Carroll\u2019s showed him the bed ; I recollect showing the Chief the sheets I took off the bed ; I had not changed them when he came on the following Saturday ; I did not tell the Chief that our bedroom door was shut on the night of the murder; dou\u2019t know what I told bim ; if I told him so I don\u2019t re- meraber it; if I did tell him so it would |

not go over to help his neighbours; he called the Carrol!s before he went to the stables; they did not go to the fire; I guess James Carroll heard the boss say there was a fire, but I did not hear what he said; I saw James Carroll do nothing but eat breakfast; I got upa litile after Carroll came down, and while I was making breakfast Carroll was in the kitchen; he said it was kind of hard on a

murder.The boss had gone to Exeter befora we heard of the murder; be did mot go down to the house to see about the murder, but turncd his back upon it and went to Exeter.The witness continued her evidence at some length, but rothing further of importance was elicited.ANOTHER HORROR A PRIEST AREESTED.INCENDIARISM AND OUTRAGE.From our Speclal Correspondent.Ottawa, February 26.The Gatineau incendiary case which bas beeu brought to light continues to create the greatest excitement in the vicinity of tho scene of the outrage.Tne particulars reveal 0.e of the deepest and darkest plots ever conceived in this district, and partakes much of the charac'er of the reiga of terror in Lucan in its incipient stage For many months back houses, barns and other property have been destroyed by fire, the origin in every case being shrouded in mystery.\u2018l'here appeared to bs no distinction as to religion, for Catholics and Protestant alike suffered.One of the victims was Mr, Joshua Ellard.ex-Warden of the County, who had sawr-lumber to the value of about $3,000 destroyed.This led him to take steps to ferret out the criminals, and for that purpcse Detective Fahey, of Montreal, was despatched to the scene.His mission was a succaszful one, and socn he had collected sufficient evidence to warrant him in arresting a priest named Father Faure, who bore aunytoing but a good reputation in the district, and who had two contracts on hand for getting out logs, in addition to attending io his ministerial duties.Foar other persons were also arrested, named Richard, Martin, Bearie, ard Chambrean, They were brought before three magistrates at the Pickanock and evidence was given against them by one Doyle, who had been connected with the party, he having agreed to reveal the plot if he was not proceeded against.His evidence wen* to show, among other things, that Father Faure hsd offered Martin $500 to set fire to Mr.Ellard\u2019s premises.Murtin agreed, but a vigilant dog prevented him from carrying ous the plot.Failing to fire the building he wandered a short distance away and ignited Beveral piles of lumber owned Ly Mr.Ellard, Father Faura walching him apply the torch.Doyle alao impl - cated the others persons arrested, and all hava been sent to the Aylmer gaol, where they await trial.Mr.Ellard aod the priest had not been on intimate terms for gome time, owing to an unpleasant circumstance which had cccurred afer the death of air, Ellard\u2019s wife.It appears ths deceased lady had made a dying request that her beads should be deposited in the casket with ker corpse.This Mr.Ellard carried out.It was subsequently found that the beads had been stolen out of the coffin, and, on Mr.Ellard threatoning to exhumed the body, the rev.gentleman produced them.Previous to going into lumber, Father Faure kept a grocery store, which he sold out to Dr.Langlois and Doyle, the man who turned Queen\u2019s evidence.Some months ago the Doctor had to leave for \u2018fresh fields and pastures new \u201d\u2019 on account of being mixed up in an abortion case.Later on Doylo\u2019s store was destroyed by fire.He had an insurauce of $2000 on the stock.The claim will, of course, be contested.Among the other places fired were Dr.Duhamel\u2019s, Mr.Bailbridge\u2019s, and Mr.Grace\u2019s.Mr.Thomas Doyle says the plot was a communistic one and was intended toprevent any one to accumulate too much wealth, A sort of Society was formed, and the places to be fired were fully discussed.FIRE REPORT THE FREDERICTON FIRE \u2014 IN- CENDIARISM SUSPECTED.Specially reported for the MONTREAL HERALD.FREDERICTON, February 26.\u2014The fire ia the Parliament Buildings originated in the Library at 10.30 o\u2019clock p.m., and very soon communicated with the Legislative Council Chamber.The members of the Government, when the alarm was given, were in session in the Council Chamber.When the steamers arrived the roof inside was in flames.Meantime the windows of the library were broken open and the valuable books therein carried out, \u201cThe building was an old, unpretentious two-storey wooden building.The insurance was as follows :\u2014 Legislative Library, $15,000, of which $7,000 Is in the Commercial Union, and $4,000 in the Western, The building is insured for $4,000 in the Queen, which office also has $2,000 on the l:brary.The fire seemed to have originated \u201cin the partition which separates the inner room of the Legislative Library from the members\u2019 room.Various causes are assigned as to its origin, such as icgendiarism or from £38 pipes, which is altogether improbable, or from the stove, the latter of which is a more plausible theory.The House of Assembly met in a class-room « f the Normal School at 12.45, Immediately after the Speaker took the chair a message was received summoning the members to the egislative Council, which sat in the Exhibition room.On attending there the members were informed by the President of the Council that it was the pleasure of His Honour the Lieutenant- Governor that the House stand prorogued until Tuesday, 9th March.Liter \u2014The fire in the Parliament Buildings at Fredericton last night was caused by the register grate in the Legislative Council Chamber being too close to the carrying timbers, one of which was placed in the chimney just below the grate.The wonder is that the fire had not occurred before.This forenoon the fire broke out for a second time, and the engine had to be called out, but no damage was done.The total damage done to the building 18 estimated at $5,000.It was insured for $4,000 in the Queen Insurance Company.The library, which was valued at $30,000 before the fire, is seriously damaged, but the damage will, it is thought, not reach the amount of the insurance, $15,000, The building was 80 years old, although the wings are of a more recent date.Governor Carleton laid the corner stone of the structure on the 15th May, 1800.The burning of the Legislative Building at Fredericton has caused quite a movement to spring up looking to the removal cf the seat of Government to St.John, and the erection of new Parliamentary Buildings and law library, and considerable pressure will be brought to bear upon the Government.Tenders were asked for weeks ago for the erection of new Legislative Buildings at Fredericton, to cost within $100,000.Minton, February 26\u2014A farmer named Bowman, living near here, had his barns and sheds, with their contents, burned this morning.Supposed

it a man named Hislam took eut his money to pay for it, and in doing #0 foolishly showed seme bills in his hand.Several loafers in the room espied it, and determined to rob him of it.He started to go to an outhouse in rear of the saloon when three or four men sprang on him and threw him to the ground.It was the work of but a moment to rifle his pockets and relieve him of the $13 which hehad.Hislam hastened to the police, and the three men were arrested.They were committed for trial before the Court of Queen\u2019s Benoh for highway robbery.Hawpsour Cuprs.\u2014Yesterday we had the pleasure of viewing the silver cup manufastured by Mr.J.H.Harper, jeweller, of Notre Pame street, for the owner of the great race horse * Pilot.\u201d The trophy is called the Quebec Garrison Cup, and was won by Major Andrew Stewart, of the 8th Battalion Royal Rifles of Quebac, last summer, on his horse # Pilot.\u201d The design is chaste and neat, and reflects the highest credit upon the artistic ability and workmahship of Mr.Harper's establishment.We have seen many such ups made by Elkington, of London, Eng., for similar affairs, but none of them surpassed in finish the one made by our townsman.There is 71 oz.of silver in the cup, and the design is a large oval bowl supported by three crossed en- gigns on a silver vase, standing on which are too well-executed horses and jockeys fully accoutred for the race ; the whole rests on a beautiful ebony pedestal.The cup is richly chased at the base, rim, and on the right side is engraved \u201cQuebec Garrison Cup, won by * Pilot,\u201d owned and ridden by Major Andrew Stewart, 8th Royal Rifles, 29th July, 1879.\u201d On the obverse side is engraved an old siege-gun and carriage, and in the foreground are three cressed rifles with swords fixed.Round both engravings is a well chased wreath of laurel leaves.The prize is a waluable one, worthy the horse and owner, and it is something Montrealers can be proud of that so fine a piece of workmanship was turned out by a fellow-citizen.\u2018The cup will be on view in Dawson\u2019s window in a few days.IN Town-\u2014Windsor Hotel\u2014Hon A H Riee, ex-Governor of Massachueetts ; Hon A W Beard,

welcomed the deputation.He said he was not aware of the object of the visit, but whatever it might be he was sure that everv member of the Association would be glad that it had enabled them to welcome their presence on Change.Ex.Governor RICE, on behalf of the visitors, thanked the President and the Corn Exchange for their very kind welcome.He believed that the sole object of the visit was to see Montreal, with which Boston was so closely connected by commercial bonds, and to rejoice with the people of Montreal and of Canada over the revival of prosperity which he was glad to know was now becoming world-wide.From what he knew regarding it in the United States, and from what he had learned since his arrival in Canada, he believed that the cloud of depression had now finally departed.He could assure Montrealers that the people of Boston took a warm interest in the prosperity of this city and country, and reierred to the bonds which were drawing the relations of all men, regardless of nationalities, ever closer together.The discoveries of science, the progress of art and quick communication had done much in this direction ; but common blood and language had done still more a3 regards Englishmen and Americans.After all an American was only an emigrated Englishman, and an Englishman was only an American who had not emigrated.Mr.F.W.HEnemaw, President of the Board of Trade, extended a welcome to the visitors on behalf of that body.The Hon.A.W, BEARD said it had been a very pleasant visit to him, though he was neither an emigrated Englichman ror an Englishman who had not emigrated.He bad never before spoken in public to other than Americans, ani even now he did not realize the fact that he was speaking to the people of another nation.He referred to the apparent prosperity of the city and Dominion, and hoped that both the prosperity of Canada and of the United States would be furthered by a Reciprocity Treaty, which would, so far as commercial interests were concerned, sweep away the obstructions which had been raised, and wipe out the dividing line.- AN INTERVIEW.Last evening one of our reporters had an interview with Mr.Millis for a few minutes, He said the party had been through the Grand Trunk Works, with which they were highly pleased, The Grand Trunk Railway, he said, required and in anticipation of this the party had been looking round.They had, in the early part of the day, met Mr.Joseph Hickson, but that gentleman was so much engaged with the English mails that he could not Spare time to accompany them, but they hope to have a more lengthened interview with him to-day.In his absence, however, Mr.Sargeant and Mr.Wallace had given them all the information in their power.The deputation was glad to see that the G.T.R.were making grand improvements, and were giving life to the system.The cars were the best they had seen, notwithe standing that they had been, so to speak, on a journey of inspection, and the 42-inch wheels and steel tiers they considered a great improvement, The deputation spoke very highly of Mr.Hickson and his management, Mr.Millis, alluding to the reduced rates which are about to come into effect, said they were about to reduce the rate 20 per cent, and, judging from their oxperience between Boston and New York, this would recoup them by the addition made in the number of travellers.The party leave

o'clock.After routine, The following Bills were introduced and read the first time: \u2014 Te Incorporate St.Clair and Like Erie Navigation Conpany.\u2014Mr.Stephenson.Respecting the Montreal

to Criminal Law.\u2014 Mr.McCarthy.Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved that the Select Committee be requested to urge on the Joint Committee to make strict enquiry into all the circumstances in connection with the opening of the tea.ders and awarding of the contract for the Parliamentary Printing last session and to take steps to prevent irregular or improper practices with respect to the granting of such contracts.Carried.The motion of Mr.Fleming for an address to His Excellency tbe Governor- General for a copy of the Order-in-Council prohibiting the landing of immigrants at the port of Halifax who are not possessed of the sum of $20 was carried.Mr.KEELER moved the second reading of the Bill to repeal the Supreme and Exchequer Court Act and the Acts amending the same.He said that he did not bring that subject up for the purpose of taking up the time of the House or amusement.He had a strong desire to practice economy, and thought there was a great deal of public money beiny expended un~ necessarily every year, and a great many items might be dispensed with.The Supreme Court had not been established in response to public opinion, and it was a tribunal for the rich man alone.He did not expect as large a vote in support of his meagure this year as he received last, but expected tbat every honourable gentlemen who had the good of the country at heart would vote for the abolishment of that Court.He complained of the increase in the cost of administration of justice in Canada.Hon.JAMES MACDONALD thought that the hon.member had not considered the effect of such a measure as was pro- poeed.It was to be regretted that any d s:ussion should arise whereby the stability of such a Court should be disturbed, or a feeling of uneasiness created in the public mind with reference to it, The Supreme Court was a natural outcome of the Confederation of the Provinces.Itsestablishmentand continuance were essential to the inturests of the country, but in view of the discussion that was taking place he did not think its decision had been such as to merit the approbation of the people.But he was bound to say that the gentlemen who had been appointed to the Bench of that Court had been selected from the most emineat men of the Provinces, and after they had merited and received the approbation of the several Provinces wherein they bad previously practiced.He thought that the Court had performed its functions and its duty in such a way as to merit the regard of the country.The people would regard it as a calamity if they were deprived of the right of appeal to the Supreme Court; it was not an expensive tribunal, considering the importance of the decisions the Judges were ealled upon to render.In every way it was esaential to retain the Supreme Court to keep the machinery of the Government running between the Provinces and the Dominion.It was unwise to lay unholy hands on that tribuaal.Sir JOHN MACDONALD was opposed to the repeal of the Supreme Court Act, yet there was no use shutting their eyes to the fact that it had not secured the confidence of the people as such a tribunal should have done, He looked forward to the time when the people would be proud of it as a tribunal.\" The abolition of the Court would not save the expense attending the payment of the Judges\u2019 salaries, as even if it was abolished the Judges would draw their salaries all the time, as they were appointed practically for life.They had a Supreme Court, and they should try to make the best of it.They should er- quire into the causes for the dissatisfaction that existed, and there must be some way of improving the evils that had been complained cf.He had hoped there would have been an extended discussion in the House on the question, and that the members would have heard an expression of opinion from the leading lawyers of the House.Mr.KEAULBACH favoured the abolition of the Court.Mr.CAMERON (Huron) said that he had not heard a single word of dissatisfaction about the Supreme Court outside the precincts of that Chamber.Last session several members supporting the Government used strong language against the Court, and he was glad to say that such strictures had not been indulged in by the Opposition.It was an unwise and unpatriotic course to attack such an institution, and he would rather that the Bill before them had not been introduced.He was certain that nineteen-twentieths of the population of Ontario would vote against the abolition of the Supreme Court.Mr.PLUMB thought it was within the province of the House to criticize the judiciary of the country, as it was such as could endure discussion.He hoped there would be a strong expression of feeling in the House, so as to prevent attacks on the Supreme Court in the future.Mr.MACDONEL (Inverness) was not awaro of any opinion or feeling existing in Nova Scotia against the Supreme Court.The decisions of that tribunal had given great satisfaction in his Province.He repudiated any assertion that had been made that there was a feeling of dissatisfaction with the Court in Nova Scotia.Mr.CAMERON (Victoria) deprecated the discussion regarding the Supreme Court that was taking place every session.He admitted its usefulness and the necessity for its continuance.Mr.BRECKEN regretted that remarks should be made inthe House every year that would tend to lessen the dignity and influence of the Supreme Court.The expenses in connection with tbat Court were a mere bagatelle in \u2018comparison with an appeal to the Privy Council.He hoped the Bill would receive a very small vote.Mr.HAGGART said that there was not as much dissatisfaction in the country relative to the personnel of the Supreme Court as on account of the multiplicity of the judiciary in the country, There wore too many Courts, and they should be combined.There had been 79 cases adjudicated on, and it had cost the country about $160,000 so far.After some remarks from Messrs, Fiset, Masson and Langevin, it being six o\u2019clock, the Speaker left the Chair.) AFTER RECESS.Mr.MOUSSEAU resumed the debate on the Supreme Court abolition and based his remarks on the statement that the Court was useless in the judiciary mu- chinery of Casada.He had taken the ground when the Court was instituted in 1875 that there was no necessity for it.He had advocated its abolishment on the the hustings, and, to be consistent, he must state his convictions honestly in the House.Hon.Mr.BLAKE said that he hoped | the day would arrive when the Local Legis- | latures would abolish these Courts of Appeal and have am appeal direct to the Supreme Court.Speaking of the Ontario Courts he showed that the cases of appeal from the first decisions were infinitisimal.He believed that no small part of the satisfactory decisions of the first instance was due to the fact that the Judges were aware that the subjects were open to review.The average costs for an appeal to the Privy Council to both parties were no less than five thousand dollars.If the expenses in connection with the administration of justice in Canada were claimed to ba high, ali had te acknowledge that they would not approach those of an appeal to England.Besides that, there was economy in time to an appellant by having a supreme tritunal in the country, the benefits of which couid scarcely be estimated.There might be some reductions made in the costs, by: which a considerable saving to suitors could be effected.The Supreme Court had not been sufficiently responsive to the convenience of the profession and suitors es they should have bsen, and that had | been one of the causes for dissatisfaction | that the Minister of Justice had referred to.\u2018'Fhe Judges should confine themselves to the matter brought before them, and eliminate all other subjects, in that way much speedier decisions could be arrived at.The establishment of a Supreme Court as a final tribunal was necessary under a Federal constitution.Are the people prepared to determine that only in the Imperial Privy Council can men bs found to decide the meaning of the laws that had been made ?If it was so that men could not be found in Canada competent to decide upon the laws enacted here, then the Canadian Parliaments should not presume to enact laws at all.It was utterly incredible that men could be found in England as well versed in the wants and requirements of a proper apprehen- gion of the Canadian people ns those in the Dominion.The pecple would be unworthy of themselves if they said that it could not (trust the ndministration of its laws to the most eminent Canadian jurists.It was evident that the Quebec Courts had not given satisfaction, from the fact that a great number of appeals were made to the Imperial Privy Council, but he knew of Coun:el in that Province who boasted that a trip acress the Atlantic to argue a client\u2019s case in London was a pleasant journey, especially when their expenses were paid.(Laughter.) It was very easy to asperse an institution like the Supreme Court, because the occupants of the Bench could not reply to the charges that were being made against them and the institution over which they presided.He believed that the work done by the Supreme Court as an Exchequer Court was sufficient to warrant ita continuance for all the time that they should dispnse, according to law, of all questions between suitors and the Government.Under all circumstances he declared that a Court that was established a few years ago by the leading public men of both parties, intrc- duced first by one political party and afterwards by the other, should not be pulled up by the roots summarily.He implored Parliament to accept the view of the First Minister, and} by a decisiva vote r.pel the interference of the member for Northumberland with that branch of the judiciary, He closed by moving the six months\u2019 hoigt to the Bill.Mr.GIROUARD (Jacques Carlier) said he would vote for the motion of the \u2018mem.b:r who had just taken his seat.While be was in favour of the Supreme Court, he said that the personnel of that tribunal was not such as the Provines of Quebzc could be expected to be satisfied with.The Province of Quebec was ruled by the Civil Law, while all the other P-ovinces were ruled by the English practice.The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court should be repealed in as far as the civil cases of the Province of Quebec were coucerned.While he would vote for the six months\u2019 hoist, he reserved for himself the right of voting for snch amendments in the procedure of the Supreme Court as he considered necessary.Mr.McCARTHY agreed with the sentiments that had beea expressed by the member for West Durham (Mr.Blake.) Although the Supreme Court had been established for trying constitutional questions as well as others, it was well known that the three constitutional questions that had come before them for their decision were far from satisfying public opinion, and the Attorney General of Ontario was taking steps to carry the Queen\u2019s Privy Council decision to the foot of the Throne.The delay of decisions in the Supreme Court had been most extraordinary, considering the amount of work that they had to do, but owing, no doubt to the discussion last session, an improvement had taken place.H> suggested that the Exchequer Court should be separated from the Supr.me Court.Efforts should be put forth to make the Court one that the people would have every confidence in, and the necessary amendments should be made at an early day.Hon.Mr.MILLS said that, as a matter of political expediency, it was desirable that the highest Court of each Province should have the final decision of matters pertaining to that Province.The public had largely gained by the establishment of the Supreme Court as a final resort for decisions regarding the laws of Canada.Mr.BOULTBEE believed that the Court had not answered the purposes for which it had been instituted.'l'he Goverment would have to understand that the people were looking for a reduction in tae judicial expenses of the country, because the Bill for the repeal made no provision for carryivg on the cases now before the Courts.He would vote for the six months\u2019 hoist.Mossrs.Langevin, Desjardins, Brehardt, and Landry having spoken in French, the members were called in to vote on Mr.Blakc\u2019a motion for à six months\u2019 hoist.The amendment carried, the division being yeas, 148 ; nays, 29.In reply to Hon.Mr.Mackenzie, Sir LEONARD TILLEY said that it was uncertain when the Budget speech would be delivered, as all the returns that had been asked for had not yes been prepared.\u2018 Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT thought they should have the Budget speech even if the estimates and returns were incomplete, as the House would not tramsact much business till after that speech was given.Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved the adjournment of the House a% a quarter past eleven o'clock.Toronto, February 26.The SPEAKER took the Chair at 3.15.Mr.Harcouær rose to a question of privilege, avd complained that the epeech delivered last night by Mr.Murray on the Parlinment Buildings had been attributed to bim.He complained more especially as the sentiments of Mr.Murray were not his.The ATroRNEY-GENERAL introduced a Bill for the administration sf justice in the dis'ricts of Algoma, Thunder Bay, and Nipissing.Mr.WiaLg moved the third reading of a Bill respecting fur-bearing animals.Hon.Mr.FraAsBr, after some debate, moved in amendment, to extend the time of dog-bunting, which was carried, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.Hon.Mr.Fraser moved the third reading of the Bill for the erection of new Parliament Buildings.Mr.MerepITH protested against the third reading now.Hon.Mr.FRASER said the question could be discussed when the Supplementary Es timates came up for discussion.The third reading was carried.The Bill for the collection of taxes in Algoma, Parry Sound and Thunder Bay, was read a third time and passed.Hon.Mr.Woop moved the second read- ipg of the Bill to amend the Municipal Act.\u2014Carried.It being six o\u2019clock the House rose.AFTER RECESS.On motion for the House to go into Committee of Supply, Mr.CREIGHTON said the member for East Toronto wished to speak to a point of order, and he would defer his remarks.Mr.Morris said if the Lieut.-Governor desired to communicate with this House, ho should do s0 in a constitutional manner.This had not been done, for His Honour had simply sent a private communication to a Minister.He quoted from authorities showing what was tie constitutional practice, Ho stated that Mr.Speaker had ruled that the comrfuni- tion was à private one, and he asked if an amendment could be put.Hon.Mr, MowaT said his hon.friend had assumed that His Honour had referred to a debate which had occurred in this House.This was not the case, as the Lieut.-Governor had only referred to articles in the public press.It could not be presumed for a moment that the Lieut.- Governor, or any other person, could have any influence over any member of this Houee.The Ministry took the full responsibility of the action of His Honour in his decree to have the estimates reduced, and that responsibility made the action constitutional.He held there was nothing in the point of order raised.Mr.MEREDITH said if the Ministry had advised the Lieut.-Governor to come to the House, asking that the Estimates be revised, it was an interferénco with the privileges of the House.The letter of the Lieut.-Governor was a private letter to a member of the Government, and it should not have been read to the House.Communications cf the Lieut.-Governor, when made officially, were recordel in the journals of the House, but this letter was not recorded ; therefore the amendment.was clearly out of order.Mr.Harpr said the Eslimaies were recommended by the Lieut.-Governor, and he could recommend that they be reduced.The SPEAKER said as the Ministry had assumed the responsibility, he could not rule the amendment of the hon.member for North York as out of order.The debate was resumed by Mr.CREIGHTON, who regretted that, by the actien of the Ministry, the responsibility | was shifted from the shoulders of his Ministers.He did not wouder that the trip had not been contemplated before the gereral elections, and that it was only organized after the result of the elections was known.He did think that any resolution similar to the one under consideration coull be fou.d on record.Mr.SINCLAIB Said he would not have advised the trip if he had been consulted.He thought the composition of the party was proper.If the Government had requested the Lieut.-Governor to take this trip it was quite right that the expense should be borne by the Province.Mr.BRODER said that an indignity had been fastened on the Lieut.-Governor, and ho thought that the Ministers should accept the responsibility, and thus take the onus of the indignation of the Province on themselves who were responsible to the people.\u2018 \u201c Aîter some further discussion the House adjourned at 11.20 p.m.\u2014 ANOTHER RENDERING.\u2014AÎter which happened in a * nobls lord\u2019s \u201d establishment, some one said, \u201c Your house was insured, wasn't it ?\u2019'\u2014¢\"Yeg,\u201d dolefully responded his lordship;

you will find, I trust, that the system of rigid economy intrnduced into the public service in the estimates of last year has been adhered to as closely as possible.Measures will be submitted to you for placing the railway system of the Province on a more satisfactory footing.In relation to the Courts of Justice in the Proviece, you will be asked to adopt legislation to increase their efficiercy and to simplify the system of procedure, You will likewise be asked to extend for another year the statute of last session relating to the price of Crown Lands in the Isiand of Cape Breton.The provisions of the Act have been found effective in facilitating the completion of a considerable number of the long unsettled titles on the Island, and are likely, if continued, to be made available to a larger extent in the present year.You will likewise be invited to adopt a measure to amend and improve the Act for the Incorporation of the Counties.I am quite sure yon wili give to tha measures which will ba eubmitted to you the carcful attention and consideration which the people bave a right to expect from gentlemen charged with the promotion and protection of their interests and welfare.WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR INDIA, During the last ten years it has been my business to visit, almost every winter, the tweive provinces of Iadia, and to superintend a survey of their population and re~ sources.The Indian Government has, so to speak, ordered me to conduct for it a great atoekr'aking after a century of British rule.I have often amused myself, during my solitary peregrinations, by imagining what a Hindu of the last century would think of the present state of his country, if be could revisit the earth.I have supposed that his first surprise at the outward physical changes bad subsided; that he had got accustomed to the faci that thousands of square miles of jungle, which in his time were inhabited only by wild beasts, have been turned into fertile crop lands; that faver-smitten swamps have been covered with healthy well.drained cities; that the mountain walls which shut off the interior of India from the seaports have been pierced by roads and scaled by railways; that the great rivers which formed the barriers between provinces, and desolated the country with their flode, have now been controlled to the uses of man, spanned by bridges, aad tapped by canals, But what would strike him as more surprising than these outward changes is tne security of*the people.In provinces where every man, from the prince to the peasant, a hundred years ago, went armed, he would look round in vain for a matchlock or a sword.He would find the multitudinous native states of India, which he remembered in jealous isolation, broken only by merciless wars, now trading quiet with each other, bound together by railways and roads, by the post and the telegraph.He would find, moreover, much that was new as well as much that was changed.He would see the country dotted with imposing edifices ia a strange foreign architecture, of which he could not guess the uses.He would ask what wealthy prince had reared him~ self that spacious place.He would be arswered that the building was no plea- sure-house for the rich, but a hospisal for the poor.He wonld enquire in honour of what new deity is this splendid shrine.He would be told that it was no new temple to the gods, but a school for the people.Instead of bristling fortresses he would see Courts of Justice; in place of a Mohamme-~ dan general in cnarge of each district, he would find an Englich magistrate ; instead of a swarmiog soldiery, he would discover a police.\u2014From \u201cWhat the English have done for the Indian People,\u201d inthe * Cornhill Magazine\u201d for January.\u2014 THE TRAINING THAT GIRLS NEED.Mrs.Abba Coold Woolson has been giving Boston some common-3anse notions about ¢ \u2018The Training that Girls N eed.\u201d In a paper read before the Moral Education Society, she pronounced ill-health a luxury that enormously increased the cost of living.She advised mothers to keep their girls from their own fate, and she asserted that girls should be made to lead a quiet life on a simple diet until faily grown, that they should exercise freely in the open air, that housework should be done by them in carefully ventilated rooms, that their dress should be radically changed so that no longer shall their vital organs be compressed or their hips weighed down with à mass of cloth that no man would willingly carry.Complisnca with these rules, she believed, would give a nobler, healthier race of women.The object of a girl\u2019s mental training should be, she ssid, to enabls her to reason, not to fill her brain with superficial ideas.The processes applied to women\u2019s minds that are now devoted to the education of men, she considered would bring about the same results.She advised that girls pursue with thoroughrees the disciplinary studies Nex! to this she would place the perceptive facuities, in which women 18 now much more proficient than man.Women should be acquainted more or less intimstely with physiology, na\u2018 ural philosophy, the iaws of m chanics, chemistry, political economy, the characteriatica of a republican form of government, rhetoric and natural sciences, all of which are far more important to the girl than the modern languages.First of all paternal duties, Mrs.Woolsen placed that of fitting children, aud especially girls, to earn an honest living, no matter how wealthy their family may be, since no one is beyond the reach of possible poverty.\u201c ROXY.BY EDWARD EGGLESTON, AUTHOR OF THE * HOOSIER SCHOOL: MASTER.\u201d CHAPTER XLIIL JIN\u2019S RIFLE.; Making one\u2019s fortune in political life is gambling upon a series of ifs.If Henry Olay or some other Whig should be elected President, reasoned athers, and if there should be a Whig Congress: man from the district, he would have great influence in distributing the patronage for Luzerne County.If the Congressman should be from one of the other counties in the district, and if Lathers could stand his chief friend in Luzerne County, the major felt sure that his political importance would be greatly ircreased.But if Bonamy should go to Congress, Lathers would be second or third instead of firat in his own county.Lathers knew well that a scandal of the sort to which Bonamy was liable might not be sufficient to defeat a candidate for Congress.The moral standard of voters away back in the Fortics was lower than it is now in the Seventies, and there is even yet room for it to advance by the time we come to the Niveties.But !f the Kir:ley matter could ba kept carefully suppressed until about the time of the session of the nominated caucus, he could then let loose Nancy's suit for seduction and turn the ciose contest against Mark by criminal proceedings and the scandal of an arrest.In the whole matter he would play the role of Mark's friend and defender, and in the confusion of defest he would be able to stampede enough votes to Bonamy's chief competitor, Paddock of Florence County, to nominate him.He had already made interest with Paddeck.But the whole thing must be kept secret lest tha Lu~ zerne County men should have time to bring forward some other man and so defeat the plan.For the \u201c geographical argument\u201d was in favour of Luzerne County.It was the \u201cturn\u201d of the southwestern portion of the distric: to name the man.And the geographical argument is a very weighty one if it happens to be om your side.If it is in favour of the other man, you can insist that fitness is the only thing.If Lathers could have been sure of Bonamy's election he wouid not have proposed this desertion.But in such a contest as the one now raging over the nomination for Congress, the weaker candidates are prone to make common cause against the foremost one, so that by the time tha Convention meets to nominate, the bitter combined opposition renders his defeat certain.Mark, as the leading man, had to run this risk.Then, too, he was barely within legal age, and his youth was likely to be urged against him.And even if he should secure the nomination, the Kirtley ecandal and the consequent domestic difficulties could not be kept secret until the election should be over, and it might defeat jBonamy by turning his own county against him.At the same time, Major Lathers kept his eyes open for anything that might turn up, and the like, and made all sorts of mental reservations in taking his resolution to o for Paddock.For himself, he said, e was like Jacob\u2019s coat of many colours \u2014all things to all men that he might win the game, and the like.J In order to keep Mark\u2019s political strength up to its full measure for the present, Lathers kep: Nancy quiet, by holding out the most delusive hopes.He represented himself as her friend in the case.He told her that he had extorted from Mark solemn promises to elope with her as soon as he could get his affairs arranged.Bonamy was even now selling off property secretly, so that he could start for Texas with Nancy in June.It is the evil of evil affairs that agents bad enough for bad business are too bad to be trustworthy.Tiathers had impressed on Nancy the necessity for secrecy.But there was a limit to the capacity for secrecy.Nancy could not long forego her love of tormenting Jim McGowan, Whenever the poor fellow lifted his head in a faint hope of winning her regard, she pounced upon him as a cat does upon a shaken mouse that dares to move but feebly again.Seeing that Nancy bad married nobody else, Jim reasoned that, since in the nature of things she must needs marry somebody, he would be the one.¢ She\u2019ll get done foolin\u2019 sume day,\u201d he said.Having expressed himself to thit effect to Nancy, as she sat frowning as him one day\u2014it was now the last of April\u2014she came out with : \" ¢ Thunder an\u2019 blazes, Jim! I'm a-goin\u2019 to do a heap sight better\u2019n that.\u201d \u201c Where?And low?\u201d exclaimed Jim, startled.\u201c You'll know afore long.When you come to Texas some day, youll ind me in a fine house, somebody.I won\u2019t look at you then, dogged ef 1 will.\u201d \u201c W\u2019y, Nance, how you talk! Sence Bonamy got married they haint no rich feller about that you're like to git.You wouldn\u2019t run off weth another woman\u2019s husband, I \u2019low,\u201d and Jim laughed a rude laugh at the improbability of the thing.The laugh stung Nancy, \u201c Wouldnt I?Confound you, Jim, d\u2019you think I'm g fool to be fooled with ?Pll show girls how they kin take a beau frem me, and I'll larn folks to fool weth me.You'll know mere\u2019'n you do vow when you're a leettle older, may be.\u201d This speech and the dare-devil tone set McGowan wild, as it was meant to.Puzzling himself to guess out what was behind the threat, there came irto his mind a jealous suspicion of the true state of the case.He went to Luzerne the next day, and, by dint of pretending to know the facts, wormed them out of Haz Kirtley.That very might, with the bor- derer\u2019s disregard for law and life, he loaded his rifle with a heavy charge of powder, cut his patching with exireme care, selected a bullet of good form and rammed it down solidly, smote the stock of the gun with his hand to bring the powder well down into the tube, and selected a good cap.He \u2019lowed that air would fetch things, he said.\u2018With this well loaded rifie Lic waited that night for Mark\u2019s late return to his home.He crept along in the sbadows of the houses in Luzerne, intending to shoot Bonamy in the street, His horse was saddled and tied to the hitching-rail at the public square.There was not a light anywhere to be seen, except one from an upper window on the opposite side of the square.A conference with Lathers detained Mark very late.Even McGowan grew nervous with his long, murderous watch fer his victim.At last he heard eteps coming in the darkness under the locusts on the other side of the street.He leaned back close to the fence, slowly cocked his gun and waited fur Mark to come out of the shadow of the young foilage of the trees into the light, so that his uncrring aim might bring him down.But when the figure emerged into the starlight, it proved to be that of a white-haired, well-dressed old man, walking uneasily and peering to the right and left.When the old man caught sight of McGowan and hig gun on the other side, he crossed the street to him, and said sternly : \u201c\u2018 What's this ?What are you standing here at this time o' night with that rifle for 2\u201d * You'd \u2019a\u2019 found out, may be, ef I hadn\u2019s \u2019a\u2019 seed just in time that you wuzn't the man \u201d Here McGowan slowly lowered the hammer of his rifle, \u201c I'm after a man that\u2019s ruined my girl, and that\u2019s goin\u2019 off to Texas weth her, Leastwise, he means to ; but I mean to send him somewheres else.Stand out ef the way | I\u2019m looking for him every minute, And when I see him they\u2019ll be a case fer the coroner.\u201d \u201cYoung man,\u201d\u2014the old man\u2019s voice was quivering\u2014¢ thirty years ago I killed a man right out there close where the pump stands.He struck me with a whip, and I was young and proud.I I shot him.O God!

peace of conscience were the main end © life, the dead conscience capable of te ing no tales were best.The trouble iy à Bonamy, who now went home wretc os enough, was that he was not bad enough, Many a man of fair outward seemicg woul have taken Mark's guilty consciousness easily.Bonamy's moral eense was no dominant, nor was it steady enough to be an available guide.Like all his impulses, it was subject 10 the law of his temperament and ncted inteasely but intermittents ly.Bat all the more for its very lack o continuity was it a tormenter wben srousc by an outward circumstance, like Roxy's suffering face or an encounter such as this with McGowan.Mark could face the muzzle of à rifls, but not exposure.And uow the dread of disgrace and of Roxy\u2019s execration haunted him and made his wrong-doing seem blacker than ever.There came to him the desperate temptation to seek rellef by the road to utter badness, Why not run off either with or without Nancy, and let the world of Luzsrne drop away from his life ?The illusive notion that he could begin life over again and do better seized him.But here again the contradictions of his nature held him back.He was neither bad encugh nor good enough to take either way out.To be continued.Now begin to think cfspring overcoats, THE wan who pledges hie word does go pawn honour.Tur moon is a sad thing ;

hold off until they see some better ground for the existence of the present quotations in America than speculative enterprise.Consumption, however, goes on though speculation is absent, and business, though quiet, is very steady.Prices pave been maintained except for Russian, for which sellers were obliged to accept a little less money, though all the depression was recovered to-day (Monday).Maize is still scarce om the spot, and prices have improved both in London and Liverpool.Barley and Oats were quiet, but for the latter an occasional advance of 3d per quarter was obtainable.The arrivals at ports of call were moderate.There has been a steady demand for wheat, chiefly for the United Kiogdum, at an advance of 1s @ 1s 6d per quarter.Only one cargo of maize arrived, which fetched 27s G3, being an improvement of 91 per quarter.Business in wheat for shipment was limited, owing to the indifference of buyers and ! an advance demanded by sellers.Maize was in active demand, chiefly for February and March shipment, at 25:@253 64.The sales of English wheat last xeek were 34,530 qrs., at 43s 1d per gr.,2gainst 56,550 gre.at 37s 7d per qr.for the same week last year.The imports into the United Kingdom during the week ending February 14 were 1,112,958 ewts.of wheat, and 216,301 cwts.of flour.\u201d NEW YORK MARKETS, February 25, 1880.CATTLE MARKET\u2014For Beef Cattle the demand has been slow, and holders in some instances have submitted to lower figures.The sales were at 101c @ 11c for extra and fancy Steers, to dress 57 lbs @ 88 lbs to the gross cwt., and 9c @ 104c for fair to prime, to dress 56 lbs.Calves have ruled dull, but with light receipts receivers were enabled to maintain previous quotations, Sheep have been in request and firm at $5 50 @ $6.56} for ordinary to choice.The receipts for the week were 9,692 Beef Cattle, 770 Calves, 22636 Sheep.The shipments during the same time were 986 live Cattle, 6,180 qrs.Beef, 1,700 carcases Mutton, and 359 dressed Hoge.COAL~~The appearance ofthe market for Anthracite has much improved since the large operators succeed 1a inducing individual producers to join hands in limiting production to current requirements.Prices have s'eadily advanced, until now what is termed \u2018\u2018 cheap Coal\u201d is very difficult to obtain at anything under circular rates, and it is said that many contracts have recently been closed at the full printed figures.The demand cen- ! tinues chiefly for the large size, Stove and t Chestnut selling very slowly, though the quantity of thelatter upon the market is small, 80 that the be fore accumulated stocks will soon ehow a liberal reduction.The quotations are\u2014for Liverpool House Channel $11, Liverpool Gas do $8, Newcastle do Caking $3.75/@%4, Scotch

capital, he empowered Mr.Taylor to set about the construction of the intended engine ; and the latter employed a young engineer named Symington, who wus then residing in Edinburgh for the study of mechanics, and who had alreidy attempied some improvements on the steam engine.After long discussion it was agreed that the latter should form it on a plan of his own, and that the experiment should be made almost privately, in the ensuing summer, on the Loch cf Dalswinton, in \u2014Dumfrieeshire.Sev.ral months were ocoupied in the construction of the engine, to see after which Mr.Taylor remained in town, while his patron and pupils returned to the country.At length, to his joy, it was completed, aud he proceeded with Symington to Dalswinton, where, ca the 14th of October, 1788, the great experiment was made.The event had been noised abroad, however, and on that day the beautiful little laka | which liy oa Mr.Miller\u2019s property was surrounded by a great crowd of spectators.The vessel built for the purpose was a dcuble one, and the engine, which was furnished with a four-ineh cylinder, was placed in a species of framework on the deck, and the experiment, which was destined to effect such a revolution in nautical matters, proved a perfeat success.Tha little vessel moved at the rate of five miles an hour, and the connection besween the engines and the paddles was free from all clumsiness; while it aleo appeared that all dread from the introducton of a furnace into a structure ço inflammable as a woud- en ship could be obviated.For severak days the experiment was repeated, and thus the first steamship continued to.traverse in safety the little imland lake, to the wonder and delight of all who came to see her ; and a ful} account cf his invens tion, or adaptation of steam to seafaring purposes, was drawn up by Mr.Taylor, and inserted in the Scot's Magazine of the following month.Before applying for a patent to proteet their joint invention, Messrs.Taylor and Miller deemed it necessary to test it more fally, by its application to.a vesgel of a larger siz3; and tha : former, accompanied by Symington, had | one constructed at the Carron Foundry in | the summer of 1879.This eraft was of considerable dimensions, and had an engine, the cylinder of which was 18 inches in diameter.Mister drew .nmear before she was completely fitted up and launeued on the Forth and Clyde Canal, in presence of the Caron Committee of management, aud of all who were interested in the matter.Thestcam was got up, and the vec- sel moved smoothly for a considerable distance beyond Lock Six:een ; bub on giving the engine full play, the flat boards of the paddle«wheels, which had been too slender- ly constructed, broke, and put an end ta the voyage.Re-constructed on a stronger principle, she made a s2cond trip ea the 26th of December, when she attained: seven miles per hour; and a full account of the invention, written by the future Lord Cullen for the Edinburgh nowspa- pers of 1790, brought it prominently before the country as a new means for extending inland navigation.2W0 URGANS , Regulate firat the stamaoh, second the liver,

the finish of the play.Boars of laughter greet the absurd situations aud sayings of \u201c Sprinkle,\u201d Mr, Thorne, * Mcodle,\u201d Mr.Joseph, and present one at the Academy, for genuine acting,

audience was present last evening at the above hall to enjoy the chamber concert fiven by Mdme.Elena Waters\u2019 pupils.| The stage was transfermed into & haudeome drawing- room, with its five o\u2019clock tea-tables, &c., and ranged in every niche and in front of the foot-lights were beautiful flowers and exotics of all kinds, in fact, the young ladies were embowered in roses, and they deserved it, The concert, from the cpen.ing piece to the end, was a series of pleasureable surprises.The young ladies, one and all, showed wonderful proti- ciency in the divine art, acd in the choruses, their precision in attacking, correct time and harmony was most marked and called forth well-deserved applause from what may be justly called a critical audience.The concert opened with a pianoforte duett, then followed \u201c Row us Swiftly,\u201d a chorus which was excellently given.¢ The Little Mendicant,\u201d a song by \u201c Gumbert\u201d was well sung by a lady whose name we are sorry we were unable to obtain.The flute solo by Master Murphy, for so young a player, was well executed, and he received an encore, which he well deserved.A Scena and Aria\u201d from * Der Freischutz\u201d, by Weber, was next given by Miss Jennie Jarvis.This was very courageons for so young à singer to essay, for it is one of the most difficulifof pieces and tests the powers of a soprano to the utmost, there being #0 much vocalization to be attended to.The young lady, though slightly nervous for the first few bars, soon showed vocal powers of a high erder, and displayed not only a voice of great power, but each note fulf, clear and round in the register.It is also very flexible and her vocalization was very true.She was loudly applauded and an encore demanded, which she responded to by singing *\u201c In the Gloaming.\u201d A solo and chorus (from Panati) Bellini ended the first part of the programme.The solo was sung by Miss Donnelly in a manner that left nothing to criticise, and the chorus were so well up that the audience demanded a repitition.Mr, Fisher, in a well-played violin solo opened the second part of the entertainment, and was deservedly applauded.Then Miss Donnelly ave \u201c\u2019Tis the Gale,\u201d a romance by \u201c\u2018 Tito Mattei.\u201d The number was a difficult one, and well tested the vocal powers of the fair.singer, However, every note was clearly sent forth, and the many runs through the piece were well executed.Bhe was loudly applauded and an encore demanded to which she kindly responded by singing \u201c Love Once Again\u201d in good style.Madame Waters sang O Quali Mi Risægliano,\u201d by Braja\u201d in a manner that showed the audience that she has not lost singing.She received a warm welcome and was encored.The duett \u201c La Sorelle\u201d by Arditi,\u201d by Misses Donnelly and Jarvis, was the gem of the evening, and called forth rapturous applause.The young ladies being tired, bowed their acknowledgments.The concert came to a clese by the singing of the ¢ Stabat Mater\u201d and the National Anthem.We congratulate the pupils of Madame their very enjoyable entertainment, SATTER, TO-NIGHT.The first concert of this eminent pianist takes place this evening at Nordheimer\u2019s Hall, where we hope to see a goodly gathering, to listento his interpreta tion of Mendelssohn, Raff, Chopin and Berlioz, as well as some of his own compositions and transcriptions.Most of our professionals have purchased tickets, wishing to test, not only the powers of the artist, but the qualities of the Weber grand on which he is to perform.THE LUCAN TRAGEDY EXAMINATION CONTINUED.From our Special Correspondent.London, Ont, February 26.The adjourned preliminary examination cf the prisoners charged with the Donnelly murder was held to-day at the Uourt- House, before Squires Pevers and Fisher, and in the presence of a crowded auditory.A certificate was produced from Dr Sutton that W.Donnelly was ill and unable to be present.The first witness called was Charles Pope, who testified\u2014I am = County Constable, and had a warrant placed in my hands for the arrest of James Carroll and the two Mahers on Thursday, the day following the murder ; Constable Hodge and I wen: to execute it on Carroll, whom we found on the Roman line going eastward; he was between Donnelly\u2019s homestead and Maher\u2019s house ; we said he was wanted by the Chief in Lucan to work up the murder case ; he asked to be allowed to go home and change his clothes ; we went home with him while he changed his clothing, which occupied about ten minutes ; at the house of the Maher\u2019s Carroll went up-stairs, took off his clothes and changed his shirt and pants; he had a dark coat on when he came out; I asked when we came down whether he had his handcuffs, and ho said Yes , we were not in his bedroom, and had not at that time a warramt to arrest him ; we did not want to let him know he had been arrested ; he came along willingly, although he seemed much frightened by changing bis colour from paleness to redness at times; we talked about the murder on the way to Lucan, but he did not seem to care to make any reply to what we said, I even pointed to the ruins, but he would not notice ; he did not say where he had been on the night of the murder ; I .asked him when he first heard of the murder, and he said the next afternoon j I did not ask him where he slept that night ; wo took him to McLean's Hotel, in Lucan, where he was informed what we wanted him for ; Hodge and Police Constable Larkin, of London, were there, and when Hodge told him what he was arrested for, he said all right, dropped his head and held cut his hands for the handcuffs; he seemed frightened and did not speak a word ; he seemed to be shocked so that he could not speak ; I searched him at Lucan and he had no handcuffs with him, at which J made no remark; we locked him up in the lock-up; he had on a brown overcoat and coarse home-made flannel shirt and a pair of tweed pants, dark grey in colour; he had on a light pair of long boots ; we arrested James Maher, junior and senior, an hour or so after Carroll's arrest ; they were also searched and locked up; after being informed of the cause of their arrest, the young mas said nothing, but the old man said * I expected it ;\u201d we found nothing on them ; never heard threats iesued ; Carroll put on a white shirt in place of the home-made woollen one ; ho said he wanted to change his clothes ig order to go up decent and looking respectable.To Mr, MacMahan\u2014I got the warrant from the Chief of Police in Lucan, on Thursday, about noon, Mary Thompson, sworn, said\u2014I am the wife of Mr.Thompson, ard live in Biddulph,}in the Roman line, that is the same lice on which the Donnelly house was located ; it is about a quarter of a mile from the Donnelly's ; there is no house between ours and the Donnelly\u2019s; their house could be seen from ours plainly ; I am acquainted with James Carroll and his brother William ; the latter was working at our place and lived there.He slept up stairs; there is one bedroom on the south side of the bouss and two on the east, where Carroll slept.There is only one window, which looked out upon the Donnelly house; the bel was in the north-east corner of the room and the Li ead was turned towards the north.On the night of the murder James Carroll and Bill Carroll slept in that room together ; I attend to the rcoms myself and changed the linen of the bed on the Saturday previous, There were two pillow cases and one sheet changed; the young men went to bed between 9 and 10 o'clock, both at nearly the same time ; I went to bed a little afterwards with my husband ; there was no one else in the house ; my husband and I slept in the back room down stairs ; the stairs are in the north corner here\u2014a diagram was shown the witness, and the several rooms pointed out: Witnesscoatinued\u2014The attic was all in one rcom with one window ; opposite the bed we kept the door locked ; I don\u2019t sleep soundly ; my bedroom was not locked, and is never locked ; I recollect the Chief of Police coming to our house on the Saturday following the murder ; I had a conversation with him, but did not accompany him to Carrell\u2019s room on the occasion of his first visit; on another day I went with him to Carroll\u2019s showed him the bed ; I recollect showing the Chief the sheets I took off the bed ; I had not changed them when he came on the following Saturday ; I did not tell the Chief that our bedroom door was shut on the night of the murder; dou\u2019t know what I told bim ; if I told him so I don\u2019t re- meraber it; if I did tell him so it would |

not go over to help his neighbours; he called the Carrol!s before he went to the stables; they did not go to the fire; I guess James Carroll heard the boss say there was a fire, but I did not hear what he said; I saw James Carroll do nothing but eat breakfast; I got upa litile after Carroll came down, and while I was making breakfast Carroll was in the kitchen; he said it was kind of hard on a

murder.The boss had gone to Exeter befora we heard of the murder; be did mot go down to the house to see about the murder, but turncd his back upon it and went to Exeter.The witness continued her evidence at some length, but rothing further of importance was elicited.ANOTHER HORROR A PRIEST AREESTED.INCENDIARISM AND OUTRAGE.From our Speclal Correspondent.Ottawa, February 26.The Gatineau incendiary case which bas beeu brought to light continues to create the greatest excitement in the vicinity of tho scene of the outrage.Tne particulars reveal 0.e of the deepest and darkest plots ever conceived in this district, and partakes much of the charac'er of the reiga of terror in Lucan in its incipient stage For many months back houses, barns and other property have been destroyed by fire, the origin in every case being shrouded in mystery.\u2018l'here appeared to bs no distinction as to religion, for Catholics and Protestant alike suffered.One of the victims was Mr, Joshua Ellard.ex-Warden of the County, who had sawr-lumber to the value of about $3,000 destroyed.This led him to take steps to ferret out the criminals, and for that purpcse Detective Fahey, of Montreal, was despatched to the scene.His mission was a succaszful one, and socn he had collected sufficient evidence to warrant him in arresting a priest named Father Faure, who bore aunytoing but a good reputation in the district, and who had two contracts on hand for getting out logs, in addition to attending io his ministerial duties.Foar other persons were also arrested, named Richard, Martin, Bearie, ard Chambrean, They were brought before three magistrates at the Pickanock and evidence was given against them by one Doyle, who had been connected with the party, he having agreed to reveal the plot if he was not proceeded against.His evidence wen* to show, among other things, that Father Faure hsd offered Martin $500 to set fire to Mr.Ellard\u2019s premises.Murtin agreed, but a vigilant dog prevented him from carrying ous the plot.Failing to fire the building he wandered a short distance away and ignited Beveral piles of lumber owned Ly Mr.Ellard, Father Faura walching him apply the torch.Doyle alao impl - cated the others persons arrested, and all hava been sent to the Aylmer gaol, where they await trial.Mr.Ellard aod the priest had not been on intimate terms for gome time, owing to an unpleasant circumstance which had cccurred afer the death of air, Ellard\u2019s wife.It appears ths deceased lady had made a dying request that her beads should be deposited in the casket with ker corpse.This Mr.Ellard carried out.It was subsequently found that the beads had been stolen out of the coffin, and, on Mr.Ellard threatoning to exhumed the body, the rev.gentleman produced them.Previous to going into lumber, Father Faure kept a grocery store, which he sold out to Dr.Langlois and Doyle, the man who turned Queen\u2019s evidence.Some months ago the Doctor had to leave for \u2018fresh fields and pastures new \u201d\u2019 on account of being mixed up in an abortion case.Later on Doylo\u2019s store was destroyed by fire.He had an insurauce of $2000 on the stock.The claim will, of course, be contested.Among the other places fired were Dr.Duhamel\u2019s, Mr.Bailbridge\u2019s, and Mr.Grace\u2019s.Mr.Thomas Doyle says the plot was a communistic one and was intended toprevent any one to accumulate too much wealth, A sort of Society was formed, and the places to be fired were fully discussed.FIRE REPORT THE FREDERICTON FIRE \u2014 IN- CENDIARISM SUSPECTED.Specially reported for the MONTREAL HERALD.FREDERICTON, February 26.\u2014The fire ia the Parliament Buildings originated in the Library at 10.30 o\u2019clock p.m., and very soon communicated with the Legislative Council Chamber.The members of the Government, when the alarm was given, were in session in the Council Chamber.When the steamers arrived the roof inside was in flames.Meantime the windows of the library were broken open and the valuable books therein carried out, \u201cThe building was an old, unpretentious two-storey wooden building.The insurance was as follows :\u2014 Legislative Library, $15,000, of which $7,000 Is in the Commercial Union, and $4,000 in the Western, The building is insured for $4,000 in the Queen, which office also has $2,000 on the l:brary.The fire seemed to have originated \u201cin the partition which separates the inner room of the Legislative Library from the members\u2019 room.Various causes are assigned as to its origin, such as icgendiarism or from £38 pipes, which is altogether improbable, or from the stove, the latter of which is a more plausible theory.The House of Assembly met in a class-room « f the Normal School at 12.45, Immediately after the Speaker took the chair a message was received summoning the members to the egislative Council, which sat in the Exhibition room.On attending there the members were informed by the President of the Council that it was the pleasure of His Honour the Lieutenant- Governor that the House stand prorogued until Tuesday, 9th March.Liter \u2014The fire in the Parliament Buildings at Fredericton last night was caused by the register grate in the Legislative Council Chamber being too close to the carrying timbers, one of which was placed in the chimney just below the grate.The wonder is that the fire had not occurred before.This forenoon the fire broke out for a second time, and the engine had to be called out, but no damage was done.The total damage done to the building 18 estimated at $5,000.It was insured for $4,000 in the Queen Insurance Company.The library, which was valued at $30,000 before the fire, is seriously damaged, but the damage will, it is thought, not reach the amount of the insurance, $15,000, The building was 80 years old, although the wings are of a more recent date.Governor Carleton laid the corner stone of the structure on the 15th May, 1800.The burning of the Legislative Building at Fredericton has caused quite a movement to spring up looking to the removal cf the seat of Government to St.John, and the erection of new Parliamentary Buildings and law library, and considerable pressure will be brought to bear upon the Government.Tenders were asked for weeks ago for the erection of new Legislative Buildings at Fredericton, to cost within $100,000.Minton, February 26\u2014A farmer named Bowman, living near here, had his barns and sheds, with their contents, burned this morning.Supposed

it a man named Hislam took eut his money to pay for it, and in doing #0 foolishly showed seme bills in his hand.Several loafers in the room espied it, and determined to rob him of it.He started to go to an outhouse in rear of the saloon when three or four men sprang on him and threw him to the ground.It was the work of but a moment to rifle his pockets and relieve him of the $13 which hehad.Hislam hastened to the police, and the three men were arrested.They were committed for trial before the Court of Queen\u2019s Benoh for highway robbery.Hawpsour Cuprs.\u2014Yesterday we had the pleasure of viewing the silver cup manufastured by Mr.J.H.Harper, jeweller, of Notre Pame street, for the owner of the great race horse * Pilot.\u201d The trophy is called the Quebec Garrison Cup, and was won by Major Andrew Stewart, of the 8th Battalion Royal Rifles of Quebac, last summer, on his horse # Pilot.\u201d The design is chaste and neat, and reflects the highest credit upon the artistic ability and workmahship of Mr.Harper's establishment.We have seen many such ups made by Elkington, of London, Eng., for similar affairs, but none of them surpassed in finish the one made by our townsman.There is 71 oz.of silver in the cup, and the design is a large oval bowl supported by three crossed en- gigns on a silver vase, standing on which are too well-executed horses and jockeys fully accoutred for the race ; the whole rests on a beautiful ebony pedestal.The cup is richly chased at the base, rim, and on the right side is engraved \u201cQuebec Garrison Cup, won by * Pilot,\u201d owned and ridden by Major Andrew Stewart, 8th Royal Rifles, 29th July, 1879.\u201d On the obverse side is engraved an old siege-gun and carriage, and in the foreground are three cressed rifles with swords fixed.Round both engravings is a well chased wreath of laurel leaves.The prize is a waluable one, worthy the horse and owner, and it is something Montrealers can be proud of that so fine a piece of workmanship was turned out by a fellow-citizen.\u2018The cup will be on view in Dawson\u2019s window in a few days.IN Town-\u2014Windsor Hotel\u2014Hon A H Riee, ex-Governor of Massachueetts ; Hon A W Beard,

welcomed the deputation.He said he was not aware of the object of the visit, but whatever it might be he was sure that everv member of the Association would be glad that it had enabled them to welcome their presence on Change.Ex.Governor RICE, on behalf of the visitors, thanked the President and the Corn Exchange for their very kind welcome.He believed that the sole object of the visit was to see Montreal, with which Boston was so closely connected by commercial bonds, and to rejoice with the people of Montreal and of Canada over the revival of prosperity which he was glad to know was now becoming world-wide.From what he knew regarding it in the United States, and from what he had learned since his arrival in Canada, he believed that the cloud of depression had now finally departed.He could assure Montrealers that the people of Boston took a warm interest in the prosperity of this city and country, and reierred to the bonds which were drawing the relations of all men, regardless of nationalities, ever closer together.The discoveries of science, the progress of art and quick communication had done much in this direction ; but common blood and language had done still more a3 regards Englishmen and Americans.After all an American was only an emigrated Englishman, and an Englishman was only an American who had not emigrated.Mr.F.W.HEnemaw, President of the Board of Trade, extended a welcome to the visitors on behalf of that body.The Hon.A.W, BEARD said it had been a very pleasant visit to him, though he was neither an emigrated Englichman ror an Englishman who had not emigrated.He bad never before spoken in public to other than Americans, ani even now he did not realize the fact that he was speaking to the people of another nation.He referred to the apparent prosperity of the city and Dominion, and hoped that both the prosperity of Canada and of the United States would be furthered by a Reciprocity Treaty, which would, so far as commercial interests were concerned, sweep away the obstructions which had been raised, and wipe out the dividing line.- AN INTERVIEW.Last evening one of our reporters had an interview with Mr.Millis for a few minutes, He said the party had been through the Grand Trunk Works, with which they were highly pleased, The Grand Trunk Railway, he said, required and in anticipation of this the party had been looking round.They had, in the early part of the day, met Mr.Joseph Hickson, but that gentleman was so much engaged with the English mails that he could not Spare time to accompany them, but they hope to have a more lengthened interview with him to-day.In his absence, however, Mr.Sargeant and Mr.Wallace had given them all the information in their power.The deputation was glad to see that the G.T.R.were making grand improvements, and were giving life to the system.The cars were the best they had seen, notwithe standing that they had been, so to speak, on a journey of inspection, and the 42-inch wheels and steel tiers they considered a great improvement, The deputation spoke very highly of Mr.Hickson and his management, Mr.Millis, alluding to the reduced rates which are about to come into effect, said they were about to reduce the rate 20 per cent, and, judging from their oxperience between Boston and New York, this would recoup them by the addition made in the number of travellers.The party leave

o'clock.After routine, The following Bills were introduced and read the first time: \u2014 Te Incorporate St.Clair and Like Erie Navigation Conpany.\u2014Mr.Stephenson.Respecting the Montreal

to Criminal Law.\u2014 Mr.McCarthy.Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved that the Select Committee be requested to urge on the Joint Committee to make strict enquiry into all the circumstances in connection with the opening of the tea.ders and awarding of the contract for the Parliamentary Printing last session and to take steps to prevent irregular or improper practices with respect to the granting of such contracts.Carried.The motion of Mr.Fleming for an address to His Excellency tbe Governor- General for a copy of the Order-in-Council prohibiting the landing of immigrants at the port of Halifax who are not possessed of the sum of $20 was carried.Mr.KEELER moved the second reading of the Bill to repeal the Supreme and Exchequer Court Act and the Acts amending the same.He said that he did not bring that subject up for the purpose of taking up the time of the House or amusement.He had a strong desire to practice economy, and thought there was a great deal of public money beiny expended un~ necessarily every year, and a great many items might be dispensed with.The Supreme Court had not been established in response to public opinion, and it was a tribunal for the rich man alone.He did not expect as large a vote in support of his meagure this year as he received last, but expected tbat every honourable gentlemen who had the good of the country at heart would vote for the abolishment of that Court.He complained of the increase in the cost of administration of justice in Canada.Hon.JAMES MACDONALD thought that the hon.member had not considered the effect of such a measure as was pro- poeed.It was to be regretted that any d s:ussion should arise whereby the stability of such a Court should be disturbed, or a feeling of uneasiness created in the public mind with reference to it, The Supreme Court was a natural outcome of the Confederation of the Provinces.Itsestablishmentand continuance were essential to the inturests of the country, but in view of the discussion that was taking place he did not think its decision had been such as to merit the approbation of the people.But he was bound to say that the gentlemen who had been appointed to the Bench of that Court had been selected from the most emineat men of the Provinces, and after they had merited and received the approbation of the several Provinces wherein they bad previously practiced.He thought that the Court had performed its functions and its duty in such a way as to merit the regard of the country.The people would regard it as a calamity if they were deprived of the right of appeal to the Supreme Court; it was not an expensive tribunal, considering the importance of the decisions the Judges were ealled upon to render.In every way it was esaential to retain the Supreme Court to keep the machinery of the Government running between the Provinces and the Dominion.It was unwise to lay unholy hands on that tribuaal.Sir JOHN MACDONALD was opposed to the repeal of the Supreme Court Act, yet there was no use shutting their eyes to the fact that it had not secured the confidence of the people as such a tribunal should have done, He looked forward to the time when the people would be proud of it as a tribunal.\" The abolition of the Court would not save the expense attending the payment of the Judges\u2019 salaries, as even if it was abolished the Judges would draw their salaries all the time, as they were appointed practically for life.They had a Supreme Court, and they should try to make the best of it.They should er- quire into the causes for the dissatisfaction that existed, and there must be some way of improving the evils that had been complained cf.He had hoped there would have been an extended discussion in the House on the question, and that the members would have heard an expression of opinion from the leading lawyers of the House.Mr.KEAULBACH favoured the abolition of the Court.Mr.CAMERON (Huron) said that he had not heard a single word of dissatisfaction about the Supreme Court outside the precincts of that Chamber.Last session several members supporting the Government used strong language against the Court, and he was glad to say that such strictures had not been indulged in by the Opposition.It was an unwise and unpatriotic course to attack such an institution, and he would rather that the Bill before them had not been introduced.He was certain that nineteen-twentieths of the population of Ontario would vote against the abolition of the Supreme Court.Mr.PLUMB thought it was within the province of the House to criticize the judiciary of the country, as it was such as could endure discussion.He hoped there would be a strong expression of feeling in the House, so as to prevent attacks on the Supreme Court in the future.Mr.MACDONEL (Inverness) was not awaro of any opinion or feeling existing in Nova Scotia against the Supreme Court.The decisions of that tribunal had given great satisfaction in his Province.He repudiated any assertion that had been made that there was a feeling of dissatisfaction with the Court in Nova Scotia.Mr.CAMERON (Victoria) deprecated the discussion regarding the Supreme Court that was taking place every session.He admitted its usefulness and the necessity for its continuance.Mr.BRECKEN regretted that remarks should be made inthe House every year that would tend to lessen the dignity and influence of the Supreme Court.The expenses in connection with tbat Court were a mere bagatelle in \u2018comparison with an appeal to the Privy Council.He hoped the Bill would receive a very small vote.Mr.HAGGART said that there was not as much dissatisfaction in the country relative to the personnel of the Supreme Court as on account of the multiplicity of the judiciary in the country, There wore too many Courts, and they should be combined.There had been 79 cases adjudicated on, and it had cost the country about $160,000 so far.After some remarks from Messrs, Fiset, Masson and Langevin, it being six o\u2019clock, the Speaker left the Chair.) AFTER RECESS.Mr.MOUSSEAU resumed the debate on the Supreme Court abolition and based his remarks on the statement that the Court was useless in the judiciary mu- chinery of Casada.He had taken the ground when the Court was instituted in 1875 that there was no necessity for it.He had advocated its abolishment on the the hustings, and, to be consistent, he must state his convictions honestly in the House.Hon.Mr.BLAKE said that he hoped | the day would arrive when the Local Legis- | latures would abolish these Courts of Appeal and have am appeal direct to the Supreme Court.Speaking of the Ontario Courts he showed that the cases of appeal from the first decisions were infinitisimal.He believed that no small part of the satisfactory decisions of the first instance was due to the fact that the Judges were aware that the subjects were open to review.The average costs for an appeal to the Privy Council to both parties were no less than five thousand dollars.If the expenses in connection with the administration of justice in Canada were claimed to ba high, ali had te acknowledge that they would not approach those of an appeal to England.Besides that, there was economy in time to an appellant by having a supreme tritunal in the country, the benefits of which couid scarcely be estimated.There might be some reductions made in the costs, by: which a considerable saving to suitors could be effected.The Supreme Court had not been sufficiently responsive to the convenience of the profession and suitors es they should have bsen, and that had | been one of the causes for dissatisfaction | that the Minister of Justice had referred to.\u2018'Fhe Judges should confine themselves to the matter brought before them, and eliminate all other subjects, in that way much speedier decisions could be arrived at.The establishment of a Supreme Court as a final tribunal was necessary under a Federal constitution.Are the people prepared to determine that only in the Imperial Privy Council can men bs found to decide the meaning of the laws that had been made ?If it was so that men could not be found in Canada competent to decide upon the laws enacted here, then the Canadian Parliaments should not presume to enact laws at all.It was utterly incredible that men could be found in England as well versed in the wants and requirements of a proper apprehen- gion of the Canadian people ns those in the Dominion.The pecple would be unworthy of themselves if they said that it could not (trust the ndministration of its laws to the most eminent Canadian jurists.It was evident that the Quebec Courts had not given satisfaction, from the fact that a great number of appeals were made to the Imperial Privy Council, but he knew of Coun:el in that Province who boasted that a trip acress the Atlantic to argue a client\u2019s case in London was a pleasant journey, especially when their expenses were paid.(Laughter.) It was very easy to asperse an institution like the Supreme Court, because the occupants of the Bench could not reply to the charges that were being made against them and the institution over which they presided.He believed that the work done by the Supreme Court as an Exchequer Court was sufficient to warrant ita continuance for all the time that they should dispnse, according to law, of all questions between suitors and the Government.Under all circumstances he declared that a Court that was established a few years ago by the leading public men of both parties, intrc- duced first by one political party and afterwards by the other, should not be pulled up by the roots summarily.He implored Parliament to accept the view of the First Minister, and} by a decisiva vote r.pel the interference of the member for Northumberland with that branch of the judiciary, He closed by moving the six months\u2019 hoigt to the Bill.Mr.GIROUARD (Jacques Carlier) said he would vote for the motion of the \u2018mem.b:r who had just taken his seat.While be was in favour of the Supreme Court, he said that the personnel of that tribunal was not such as the Provines of Quebzc could be expected to be satisfied with.The Province of Quebec was ruled by the Civil Law, while all the other P-ovinces were ruled by the English practice.The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court should be repealed in as far as the civil cases of the Province of Quebec were coucerned.While he would vote for the six months\u2019 hoist, he reserved for himself the right of voting for snch amendments in the procedure of the Supreme Court as he considered necessary.Mr.McCARTHY agreed with the sentiments that had beea expressed by the member for West Durham (Mr.Blake.) Although the Supreme Court had been established for trying constitutional questions as well as others, it was well known that the three constitutional questions that had come before them for their decision were far from satisfying public opinion, and the Attorney General of Ontario was taking steps to carry the Queen\u2019s Privy Council decision to the foot of the Throne.The delay of decisions in the Supreme Court had been most extraordinary, considering the amount of work that they had to do, but owing, no doubt to the discussion last session, an improvement had taken place.H> suggested that the Exchequer Court should be separated from the Supr.me Court.Efforts should be put forth to make the Court one that the people would have every confidence in, and the necessary amendments should be made at an early day.Hon.Mr.MILLS said that, as a matter of political expediency, it was desirable that the highest Court of each Province should have the final decision of matters pertaining to that Province.The public had largely gained by the establishment of the Supreme Court as a final resort for decisions regarding the laws of Canada.Mr.BOULTBEE believed that the Court had not answered the purposes for which it had been instituted.'l'he Goverment would have to understand that the people were looking for a reduction in tae judicial expenses of the country, because the Bill for the repeal made no provision for carryivg on the cases now before the Courts.He would vote for the six months\u2019 hoist.Mossrs.Langevin, Desjardins, Brehardt, and Landry having spoken in French, the members were called in to vote on Mr.Blakc\u2019a motion for à six months\u2019 hoist.The amendment carried, the division being yeas, 148 ; nays, 29.In reply to Hon.Mr.Mackenzie, Sir LEONARD TILLEY said that it was uncertain when the Budget speech would be delivered, as all the returns that had been asked for had not yes been prepared.\u2018 Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT thought they should have the Budget speech even if the estimates and returns were incomplete, as the House would not tramsact much business till after that speech was given.Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved the adjournment of the House a% a quarter past eleven o'clock.Toronto, February 26.The SPEAKER took the Chair at 3.15.Mr.Harcouær rose to a question of privilege, avd complained that the epeech delivered last night by Mr.Murray on the Parlinment Buildings had been attributed to bim.He complained more especially as the sentiments of Mr.Murray were not his.The ATroRNEY-GENERAL introduced a Bill for the administration sf justice in the dis'ricts of Algoma, Thunder Bay, and Nipissing.Mr.WiaLg moved the third reading of a Bill respecting fur-bearing animals.Hon.Mr.FraAsBr, after some debate, moved in amendment, to extend the time of dog-bunting, which was carried, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.Hon.Mr.Fraser moved the third reading of the Bill for the erection of new Parliament Buildings.Mr.MerepITH protested against the third reading now.Hon.Mr.FRASER said the question could be discussed when the Supplementary Es timates came up for discussion.The third reading was carried.The Bill for the collection of taxes in Algoma, Parry Sound and Thunder Bay, was read a third time and passed.Hon.Mr.Woop moved the second read- ipg of the Bill to amend the Municipal Act.\u2014Carried.It being six o\u2019clock the House rose.AFTER RECESS.On motion for the House to go into Committee of Supply, Mr.CREIGHTON said the member for East Toronto wished to speak to a point of order, and he would defer his remarks.Mr.Morris said if the Lieut.-Governor desired to communicate with this House, ho should do s0 in a constitutional manner.This had not been done, for His Honour had simply sent a private communication to a Minister.He quoted from authorities showing what was tie constitutional practice, Ho stated that Mr.Speaker had ruled that the comrfuni- tion was à private one, and he asked if an amendment could be put.Hon.Mr, MowaT said his hon.friend had assumed that His Honour had referred to a debate which had occurred in this House.This was not the case, as the Lieut.-Governor had only referred to articles in the public press.It could not be presumed for a moment that the Lieut.- Governor, or any other person, could have any influence over any member of this Houee.The Ministry took the full responsibility of the action of His Honour in his decree to have the estimates reduced, and that responsibility made the action constitutional.He held there was nothing in the point of order raised.Mr.MEREDITH said if the Ministry had advised the Lieut.-Governor to come to the House, asking that the Estimates be revised, it was an interferénco with the privileges of the House.The letter of the Lieut.-Governor was a private letter to a member of the Government, and it should not have been read to the House.Communications cf the Lieut.-Governor, when made officially, were recordel in the journals of the House, but this letter was not recorded ; therefore the amendment.was clearly out of order.Mr.Harpr said the Eslimaies were recommended by the Lieut.-Governor, and he could recommend that they be reduced.The SPEAKER said as the Ministry had assumed the responsibility, he could not rule the amendment of the hon.member for North York as out of order.The debate was resumed by Mr.CREIGHTON, who regretted that, by the actien of the Ministry, the responsibility | was shifted from the shoulders of his Ministers.He did not wouder that the trip had not been contemplated before the gereral elections, and that it was only organized after the result of the elections was known.He did think that any resolution similar to the one under consideration coull be fou.d on record.Mr.SINCLAIB Said he would not have advised the trip if he had been consulted.He thought the composition of the party was proper.If the Government had requested the Lieut.-Governor to take this trip it was quite right that the expense should be borne by the Province.Mr.BRODER said that an indignity had been fastened on the Lieut.-Governor, and ho thought that the Ministers should accept the responsibility, and thus take the onus of the indignation of the Province on themselves who were responsible to the people.\u2018 \u201c Aîter some further discussion the House adjourned at 11.20 p.m.\u2014 ANOTHER RENDERING.\u2014AÎter which happened in a * nobls lord\u2019s \u201d establishment, some one said, \u201c Your house was insured, wasn't it ?\u2019'\u2014¢\"Yeg,\u201d dolefully responded his lordship;

you will find, I trust, that the system of rigid economy intrnduced into the public service in the estimates of last year has been adhered to as closely as possible.Measures will be submitted to you for placing the railway system of the Province on a more satisfactory footing.In relation to the Courts of Justice in the Proviece, you will be asked to adopt legislation to increase their efficiercy and to simplify the system of procedure, You will likewise be asked to extend for another year the statute of last session relating to the price of Crown Lands in the Isiand of Cape Breton.The provisions of the Act have been found effective in facilitating the completion of a considerable number of the long unsettled titles on the Island, and are likely, if continued, to be made available to a larger extent in the present year.You will likewise be invited to adopt a measure to amend and improve the Act for the Incorporation of the Counties.I am quite sure yon wili give to tha measures which will ba eubmitted to you the carcful attention and consideration which the people bave a right to expect from gentlemen charged with the promotion and protection of their interests and welfare.WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR INDIA, During the last ten years it has been my business to visit, almost every winter, the tweive provinces of Iadia, and to superintend a survey of their population and re~ sources.The Indian Government has, so to speak, ordered me to conduct for it a great atoekr'aking after a century of British rule.I have often amused myself, during my solitary peregrinations, by imagining what a Hindu of the last century would think of the present state of his country, if be could revisit the earth.I have supposed that his first surprise at the outward physical changes bad subsided; that he had got accustomed to the faci that thousands of square miles of jungle, which in his time were inhabited only by wild beasts, have been turned into fertile crop lands; that faver-smitten swamps have been covered with healthy well.drained cities; that the mountain walls which shut off the interior of India from the seaports have been pierced by roads and scaled by railways; that the great rivers which formed the barriers between provinces, and desolated the country with their flode, have now been controlled to the uses of man, spanned by bridges, aad tapped by canals, But what would strike him as more surprising than these outward changes is tne security of*the people.In provinces where every man, from the prince to the peasant, a hundred years ago, went armed, he would look round in vain for a matchlock or a sword.He would find the multitudinous native states of India, which he remembered in jealous isolation, broken only by merciless wars, now trading quiet with each other, bound together by railways and roads, by the post and the telegraph.He would find, moreover, much that was new as well as much that was changed.He would see the country dotted with imposing edifices ia a strange foreign architecture, of which he could not guess the uses.He would ask what wealthy prince had reared him~ self that spacious place.He would be arswered that the building was no plea- sure-house for the rich, but a hospisal for the poor.He wonld enquire in honour of what new deity is this splendid shrine.He would be told that it was no new temple to the gods, but a school for the people.Instead of bristling fortresses he would see Courts of Justice; in place of a Mohamme-~ dan general in cnarge of each district, he would find an Englich magistrate ; instead of a swarmiog soldiery, he would discover a police.\u2014From \u201cWhat the English have done for the Indian People,\u201d inthe * Cornhill Magazine\u201d for January.\u2014 THE TRAINING THAT GIRLS NEED.Mrs.Abba Coold Woolson has been giving Boston some common-3anse notions about ¢ \u2018The Training that Girls N eed.\u201d In a paper read before the Moral Education Society, she pronounced ill-health a luxury that enormously increased the cost of living.She advised mothers to keep their girls from their own fate, and she asserted that girls should be made to lead a quiet life on a simple diet until faily grown, that they should exercise freely in the open air, that housework should be done by them in carefully ventilated rooms, that their dress should be radically changed so that no longer shall their vital organs be compressed or their hips weighed down with à mass of cloth that no man would willingly carry.Complisnca with these rules, she believed, would give a nobler, healthier race of women.The object of a girl\u2019s mental training should be, she ssid, to enabls her to reason, not to fill her brain with superficial ideas.The processes applied to women\u2019s minds that are now devoted to the education of men, she considered would bring about the same results.She advised that girls pursue with thoroughrees the disciplinary studies Nex! to this she would place the perceptive facuities, in which women 18 now much more proficient than man.Women should be acquainted more or less intimstely with physiology, na\u2018 ural philosophy, the iaws of m chanics, chemistry, political economy, the characteriatica of a republican form of government, rhetoric and natural sciences, all of which are far more important to the girl than the modern languages.First of all paternal duties, Mrs.Woolsen placed that of fitting children, aud especially girls, to earn an honest living, no matter how wealthy their family may be, since no one is beyond the reach of possible poverty.\u201c ROXY.BY EDWARD EGGLESTON, AUTHOR OF THE * HOOSIER SCHOOL: MASTER.\u201d CHAPTER XLIIL JIN\u2019S RIFLE.; Making one\u2019s fortune in political life is gambling upon a series of ifs.If Henry Olay or some other Whig should be elected President, reasoned athers, and if there should be a Whig Congress: man from the district, he would have great influence in distributing the patronage for Luzerne County.If the Congressman should be from one of the other counties in the district, and if Lathers could stand his chief friend in Luzerne County, the major felt sure that his political importance would be greatly ircreased.But if Bonamy should go to Congress, Lathers would be second or third instead of firat in his own county.Lathers knew well that a scandal of the sort to which Bonamy was liable might not be sufficient to defeat a candidate for Congress.The moral standard of voters away back in the Fortics was lower than it is now in the Seventies, and there is even yet room for it to advance by the time we come to the Niveties.But !f the Kir:ley matter could ba kept carefully suppressed until about the time of the session of the nominated caucus, he could then let loose Nancy's suit for seduction and turn the ciose contest against Mark by criminal proceedings and the scandal of an arrest.In the whole matter he would play the role of Mark's friend and defender, and in the confusion of defest he would be able to stampede enough votes to Bonamy's chief competitor, Paddock of Florence County, to nominate him.He had already made interest with Paddeck.But the whole thing must be kept secret lest tha Lu~ zerne County men should have time to bring forward some other man and so defeat the plan.For the \u201c geographical argument\u201d was in favour of Luzerne County.It was the \u201cturn\u201d of the southwestern portion of the distric: to name the man.And the geographical argument is a very weighty one if it happens to be om your side.If it is in favour of the other man, you can insist that fitness is the only thing.If Lathers could have been sure of Bonamy's election he wouid not have proposed this desertion.But in such a contest as the one now raging over the nomination for Congress, the weaker candidates are prone to make common cause against the foremost one, so that by the time tha Convention meets to nominate, the bitter combined opposition renders his defeat certain.Mark, as the leading man, had to run this risk.Then, too, he was barely within legal age, and his youth was likely to be urged against him.And even if he should secure the nomination, the Kirtley ecandal and the consequent domestic difficulties could not be kept secret until the election should be over, and it might defeat jBonamy by turning his own county against him.At the same time, Major Lathers kept his eyes open for anything that might turn up, and the like, and made all sorts of mental reservations in taking his resolution to o for Paddock.For himself, he said, e was like Jacob\u2019s coat of many colours \u2014all things to all men that he might win the game, and the like.J In order to keep Mark\u2019s political strength up to its full measure for the present, Lathers kep: Nancy quiet, by holding out the most delusive hopes.He represented himself as her friend in the case.He told her that he had extorted from Mark solemn promises to elope with her as soon as he could get his affairs arranged.Bonamy was even now selling off property secretly, so that he could start for Texas with Nancy in June.It is the evil of evil affairs that agents bad enough for bad business are too bad to be trustworthy.Tiathers had impressed on Nancy the necessity for secrecy.But there was a limit to the capacity for secrecy.Nancy could not long forego her love of tormenting Jim McGowan, Whenever the poor fellow lifted his head in a faint hope of winning her regard, she pounced upon him as a cat does upon a shaken mouse that dares to move but feebly again.Seeing that Nancy bad married nobody else, Jim reasoned that, since in the nature of things she must needs marry somebody, he would be the one.¢ She\u2019ll get done foolin\u2019 sume day,\u201d he said.Having expressed himself to thit effect to Nancy, as she sat frowning as him one day\u2014it was now the last of April\u2014she came out with : \" ¢ Thunder an\u2019 blazes, Jim! I'm a-goin\u2019 to do a heap sight better\u2019n that.\u201d \u201c Where?And low?\u201d exclaimed Jim, startled.\u201c You'll know afore long.When you come to Texas some day, youll ind me in a fine house, somebody.I won\u2019t look at you then, dogged ef 1 will.\u201d \u201c W\u2019y, Nance, how you talk! Sence Bonamy got married they haint no rich feller about that you're like to git.You wouldn\u2019t run off weth another woman\u2019s husband, I \u2019low,\u201d and Jim laughed a rude laugh at the improbability of the thing.The laugh stung Nancy, \u201c Wouldnt I?Confound you, Jim, d\u2019you think I'm g fool to be fooled with ?Pll show girls how they kin take a beau frem me, and I'll larn folks to fool weth me.You'll know mere\u2019'n you do vow when you're a leettle older, may be.\u201d This speech and the dare-devil tone set McGowan wild, as it was meant to.Puzzling himself to guess out what was behind the threat, there came irto his mind a jealous suspicion of the true state of the case.He went to Luzerne the next day, and, by dint of pretending to know the facts, wormed them out of Haz Kirtley.That very might, with the bor- derer\u2019s disregard for law and life, he loaded his rifle with a heavy charge of powder, cut his patching with exireme care, selected a bullet of good form and rammed it down solidly, smote the stock of the gun with his hand to bring the powder well down into the tube, and selected a good cap.He \u2019lowed that air would fetch things, he said.\u2018With this well loaded rifie Lic waited that night for Mark\u2019s late return to his home.He crept along in the sbadows of the houses in Luzerne, intending to shoot Bonamy in the street, His horse was saddled and tied to the hitching-rail at the public square.There was not a light anywhere to be seen, except one from an upper window on the opposite side of the square.A conference with Lathers detained Mark very late.Even McGowan grew nervous with his long, murderous watch fer his victim.At last he heard eteps coming in the darkness under the locusts on the other side of the street.He leaned back close to the fence, slowly cocked his gun and waited fur Mark to come out of the shadow of the young foilage of the trees into the light, so that his uncrring aim might bring him down.But when the figure emerged into the starlight, it proved to be that of a white-haired, well-dressed old man, walking uneasily and peering to the right and left.When the old man caught sight of McGowan and hig gun on the other side, he crossed the street to him, and said sternly : \u201c\u2018 What's this ?What are you standing here at this time o' night with that rifle for 2\u201d * You'd \u2019a\u2019 found out, may be, ef I hadn\u2019s \u2019a\u2019 seed just in time that you wuzn't the man \u201d Here McGowan slowly lowered the hammer of his rifle, \u201c I'm after a man that\u2019s ruined my girl, and that\u2019s goin\u2019 off to Texas weth her, Leastwise, he means to ; but I mean to send him somewheres else.Stand out ef the way | I\u2019m looking for him every minute, And when I see him they\u2019ll be a case fer the coroner.\u201d \u201cYoung man,\u201d\u2014the old man\u2019s voice was quivering\u2014¢ thirty years ago I killed a man right out there close where the pump stands.He struck me with a whip, and I was young and proud.I I shot him.O God!
