piano, $282.50; carpets, 85¢ to 92}c; and the safe, $175.The mare \u2018 Nelly,\u201d 5 years old, was bought by Mr.Munn, for $205.\u2014The tariff has killed the manufacture of photograph albums in the United States.The Springfield Republican says : \u2014 All the albums now sold by our booksellers, ranging from $2.50 up to ten times that sum each in value, are now of foreign make.Now, $2.50 is quite a value to put into a mere binding of blank pasteboard.The tarift admits these albums at 35 per centum duty, while it also maintains 35 per centum duty upon the fine leather used in their binding.If the duty were reduced upon the raw material probably the manufacture of American albums would revive.\u201d \u2014The Evening Post says of the mone tary situation in New York :\u2014-\u201c\u2018 The local Money market thus far has been much easier than last week, and we hear of no loans above 6 per cent.As noted above about $4,000,000 foreign specie has arrived since Saturday, and more is expected.At the same time the demands for money from the South and West are very large, and much more than the amount of foreign receipts will leave the city to-day.There is no reason for expecting a lower than sharp 6 per cent.money market for the next four weeks, 80 far as natural causes are concerned ;

even finest grades participate in the general dullness, holders of fine insisting in some cases upon former rates, but there are just enough holders who are anxious to see stocks moving, who have reduced quotations fully 5s.on the week, but without inducing business, It is more than probable we shall have a dull and inactive market for the balance of the month.The position of stale summer Butter of all varieties is becoming daily more perplexing to holders of it.The bulk of the stock of these kinds of goods is held by two or three parties, who so far have held with moderate firmness, hoping for a better demand.Some holders who have become disgusted and desiring to see a clearance of such goods, have accepted prices ranging from 72s.@ 76s.Quite a quantity has been sold at this figure, part of which goes to Ireland for repacking purposes.If shipments of this kind of goods would cease from the States and Canada, for a month or six weeks, it would be great \u2018assistance in clear ing up the large stock held here and at other English markets ; but there is a fear of furtHer' large shipments from America of'this class of goods, and should shipments set in to any marked \u2018extent it will make 70s.as probable outside value.I strongly advise the cessation of shipments of all grades which dre not fresh fall goods Or Buprmer goods that are perfectly sweet on top and'sides.We must have a clearance bf tliese old\u201d accumulated lots before any good can be done in shipping fair to good grades to this side.American Butterine is yiry dull, some sales having been made as low as\u2019¥2s, @ 76s.for the best brands.American goods are too brittle and too tallowy in texture and flavour, and the demand has gone off for it entirely to the Continental Butterines, which are more of a buttery texture.It is these Continental Butterines that are playing such sad work with the common to good grades of genuine Butter.The total receipts from the States and Canada for the week ending are 13,931 packages.Carese\u2014Nothing but a hand-to-mouth business passing, with, prices \u2018a\u2019 \u2018hhade casier, even\u2018on firest latesmade Cheese.i hävé to reduce my quotations }s.all round to conform with passing transaction, als thougly there are some holding at 69s.for strictly fine Septembers and Octobers, and LIVERPOOL WHEAT TRADE.A letter to the New York Bulletin, dated the 20th November, says that the Liverpool wheat trade has been good for the past two weeks.The foreign imports have been but moderate, shipments advised from America far from excessive, and a consumptioe demand of full proportions has been experienced.The weather has been as favourable for farm work as could be wished, and labour has been impeded thereby, but the quantity of home grain forwarded to the markets has not n much increased by the opportunity given to farmers through this cessation of labour.Samples also are reported as barely up to the expectations formed of the general quality of the crop, and a larger admixture of foreign grain is needed than was antici- ted.À general survey af the position, 10wever, although :t may point to steadiness for some time to come, does not favour the belief that prices have permanently advanced.The requirements of England and France for American Wheat are this season much less than last, and the increased quantity needed in Germany, owing to the failure of her crop, does not nearly make up for this deficiency ; whilet on the other hand, the visible supply shows: an increase over last year at this time of 2,600,000 bushels.At the same time, the opinion generally prevails that the visible supply in the hands of Western farmers is larger than was the case last year._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CORN EXCHANGE REPORT.Tuespay, December 7.Wheat in Chicago declined fc.Beerronm\u2019s Apvices\u2014Floating cargoes \u2014Wheat quiet.Corn steady.Cargoes ON passage and for shipment\u2014Wheat inactive.Corn inactive.Red Winter Wheat, off coast, 48s.@ 48s.6d.;

the wind blew hard, increasing towards evening to a violent gale.At three o'clock on Monday morning, while they were hove-to, à tremendous sea broke over the schooner, washing everything movable off the deck, and throwing her on her beam ends.In this position she remained for some time, with little probability of coming up, without the loss of her spars, when Captain Locke ordered her two masts to be cut away.This order was promptly obeyed, and the schooner slowly righted, but heavy seas continued to wash over her, and daylight broke without one ray of hope.The hull was entirely unmanageable and exposed to all the fury of th: gale.With NO FRIENDLY SAIL in sight, and the stock of provisions already so mhuch exhausted as to make it necessary to ptt the crew on short allowance ;' it was no-

consequences and read the Riot Act.The Land Leaguers then adjourned to a field outside the village and the Riot Act was again read.At this Juncture James O'Kelly, member of Parliament, arrived on the ground.The Magistrate ordered him to quit the field.O'Kelly then left with his followers, who held & meeting further from the village.At the latter meeting \"Kell y protested against the action of the Magistyute, and denounced Chief Justice May as an ermined ruffian.O'Kelly subsequently sent a telegram to Forster, Chief Secretary.for.Ireland, protesting against the dispersion of a peaceful meeting, and declaring that bloodshed was prevented only hy the self-control of the people, and demanding an inquiry into the cause of the prohibition of the meeting, and into the conduct of the local

most desirable that the whole question shall he settled in a more permanént fashion than that contemplated by the Treaty of Washington.Under its proyisions the fishery privileges | wera made the

a great hanquet was given Parnell at Waterford.He said he did not believe England's great resources adequate to perpetuate hor Government in Tre and.It is abundantly proved that governing Ireland outside of Ireland by power and people who do not live in the country is impossible.« Look,\u201d said Parnell, «at what we have done to this pitiful Government.In twelve months we have obliged them to reverse every principle, every law, every tradition, on which they build their osition.I don't believe Gladstone can settle the Irish gues- tion without breaking up his Cabinet.He could not even pass his miserable httle Compensation Bu last year.IfI had not been confident that the Lords would reject I would have had the Irish party roject it, but I preferred to let the Lords do the dirty work.When John Bull finds he will have to pay £150,000,000 for the next five years to govern this country he will think governing Ireland very cxpensive.I do not believe we can gettle the, national question till we settle the land question.We have 10,000 landlords with 500,000 dependencies arrayed against Ireland's self-government.If the remaining 5,000,000 souls combine, nothing can resist them.The British Government may pass Coercion Acts, though I don't say I would let them; but if they did they would not be advanced one step.I tell them that all their acts and statutes arc so much waste paper.It is impossible in these days to go on governing this country against the will of the \u2018majority of the people.We stand to-day in the same position -that our ancestors stood in.We declare it the daty of every Irishman to free his country if he can, We wll work by constitutior al mears as long as it suits us to do so.| We refu: to plunge the country into THE HORRORS OF CIVIL WAR, when she has not à chance ; but 1- ask any true Irishman whether he \u2018vould\u2019 pot consider it his first duty ag an Irishman to do what he could to enable his country to take her place among the nations of the world, | (Deafening cheers) If if coyld be proyed fo you that there 18 a fair prospect that success would follow from such a sacrifice, I ask you whether it would not be your highest duty to give your lives for your country, that gave you birth.I don't wish to be misunderstopd.Our present path {s within the limits of the Constitution.If I ever call upon the people to go beyond the Constitution we shall do so openly and above-board.We shall nut ask\u2019 the people to take any risk that we are pot willing to share.For the present we will regaln within the yonstitytion, relying on the Parliamentary action of England and upon organized national action at home.I believe we have in these the power to achieye our ends.We call upon You, if you believe jn its use and helieve in our honesty, to help us with the ability and enius that God has given you, confident in the future of oyr common country.\u2019 (Great cheering.) WHAT DILLON SAYS.Dillon, at a land mecting at Fethard, said that within the last few months the Leagne movement had mado an immense advance.Its position in Ireland to-day was such that their Governors must yield to the demand of the Land League or resort to brute force to coerce the mas jority of the Irish people; but if this movement were repressed by force sucha course would leave in the minds of the Irish people such hatred towards the law of England, that nothing but an enormous military force could compel the people to obey them.If the Government attempted to have recourse to coercion, that would render connection between the two countries impossible in the future.If this movement was repressed thay would not be able tp tell how gr when it would blow up, and sweep them and all belonging to them {0 a worst fate than that winch the Land Teague intended for them.The Irish race, all over the world was thoroughly aroused Quenke, December 7.\u2014The [tug steamer « Royal,\u201d lying at Flanigan\u2019s booms, is rex ported on fire to~night.One of the @.ty steam fire-engines has been despatched to the scene of the fire.pono 18 à side-wheel tug, belonging to Mr.Burns, - TNA Ont, December 7\u2014A large brick house on Melbourne street, owned by Mr, Rarnhard, occupied, by.Captain Ross, father of Jas Ross, Toronto, was considerably damaged by fire about 7 o'clock tonight.Loss light.to the great patriotic and national character j of thin movement.He advised them 0 ! stand firm, and show that they were able to | belp themselves, and then their friends in America would be at their backs.THE CORK ASSIZES.The Judge, in charging -the Grand Jury ; 3 Magnin, Minister of Finance, in the Chamber of Deputies, yesterday, said the decision of the former Monetary Conference in Patis, tnat it was necessary to keep up the use of silver in the world as well as gold, leftthe door open for fresh negotiations.Since then there have been numerous manifestations in England and Germany in favour of the double standard.These were not yet important enough for France to take the initative in fresh negotiations.If new facts should arise France would not close her ears to any overtures, GERMANY, ALSACE AND LORRAINE.STRASBURG, December T\u2014At a banquet to-day, given in honour of the Provincial Commission of Alsace and Lorraine, Gen.Von Manteuffel said the union of Alsace and Lorraine with Germany should be frankly recognized.The country must fully understand that the union is final.RUSSIA.THE CZAREWITCH.St.PeTERSBURG, December 7.\u2014It is now eyident that thé Czavewitch is taking a much more prominent part in the direction of affairs than formerly, It is neo secret that the heir apparent has been at enmity with his uncle, the Grand Duke Nicholas, ever since the Russo-Turkish war, and the increasing influence of the Czar\u2019s son has been marked by the disgrace of his uncle.It is now said that the Grand Duke Constantine is also under such a cloud that he will be obliged) to resign his post as Lord High Admiral, and that he also will probaply disappear from the Court.The Grand Duke Alexis, the third son of the Emperor, will probably take his uncleg lace.He is consideped the most intelli- sent of the Imperial princes, and has been Érought up as à sailor.The Czarewitch is expected to arrive in St.Petersburg on Monday, and we may look forward to a new regime in the conduct of affairs during the coming winter, SKOBELEFF'S OPERATIONS AGAINST THE TURKOMANS.ST.PETERSBURG, December 7\u2014_General Skobeleif was the one officer who came out of the Bulgarian campaign without having failed in any enterprise undertaken by him, for he was even successful in his portion of the attack during the third battle of Plevna, and might have penetrated into the town if he had been reinforced during the night.But he had been known hitherto rather as & dashing leader than as a General organizing a campaign.The work in which he ig now engaged will try all his qualities, and his generalship will be scrutinized with considerable attention.As far us has yet appeared he is proceeding with caution, making sure of each step before he undertakes another advance.The opposition of the Turkomans must be formidable, or 50 daring a leader would have subdued them long ago.He appears to be creeping forward, building forts as he goes, 50 as to have a secure resting-place always within reach in case of a serious check in his operations.If this strategy is continued the end of the campaign may be yet distant ; but, on the other hand, a permanent hold may be established over the whole country.The climate and soil present difficulties which are almost insurmountable in summer, and General Skobeleff is well-known to hold the opinion that the good qualities of the Russian soldier are more conspicuous in winter than at any other season.It is, therefore, probable that the attack so long delayed will be delivered during the time of snow, when the army will be at its best, and the horses of the Turkomans encumbered in their movements.ce Coe ' GREECE.STILL BELLICOSE.Paris, December 7.\u2014It is denied that | Greece has\u2019 consented to rénéw direct nego- tuations with Turkey.It'is stated that the Powers have commenced to interchange views on the Greek question, and will probably endeavour to obtain a formal engagement from both countries not to resbrt to arms.! oH : THE ARMAMENTS.BeruN, December 7.\u2014The Weiner Allgemeihe Zeituhg \u2018publishes \"a telegram from Athens, stating that, so far, about 50,000 men have been mobilised.In Greek Government circles it is asserted that there will be 80,000 men on a war footing by the end of the year.Under any circumstances, the frontier could not be crossed before March.The plan of opera:ions is then to advance with two army corps\u2014one, under command of General Soutzo, 50,000 strong, is to march on Japing ; the other, which will muster 30,000, is to march on Larissa.The Volunteers\u2019 Committee reckons on 14,000 recruits.The cost of the Greek armaments down to the end of December will be 42,- 000,000 drachmes.It is rumoured that the Greek Cabinet bas been in constant com- munleation où late with the Government of hia and that the outbreak of hostilitics between Greece and Turkey will probably correspond with the Bulgarian rising, BERKING A BULGARIAN ALLIANOE.CoNSTANTINOPLE, December 6\u2014M.Coumoundourog is reported to have heen recently in communication with certain leaders in Bulgaria, with a view, if possible, to secure concerted action between Greece and the Bulgarian ingurrectionary elements against Turkey.These negotiations, however, have so far simply confirmed the recent statement of the Hellenic I'remier, that there is no possibility of commencing hostilities before next spring.The fact that the Greek Ministry have thus been sounding Bulgaria is interpreted here as proof that Greece will not dare, alone and unsupported, to plunge into a war with Turkey.UNITED STATES.THE MOREY LETTER.New York, December 7.\u2014It is reported detectives have discovered that the Morey letter was written by a man formerly eny- ployed on an evening paper in Brooklyn; who offered the letter to the Sun for $700.\u2018The same man is suspected of having written letters attributed to President Hayes and Conkling, who repudiated them.The parties actually responsible for the Morey letter, it is alleged, have been trying to fusten the authorship on Philp.It is stated that a close examination of the envelope reveals the name of a detective who last summer was frequently in Philp\u2019s company.It is said that the supposed author of the letter was requested to resign from his paper, and one of his associates made a at tte opening of the Cork Assizes, for four counties of Munster, to-day, said some districts were reduced to anarchy bordering on civil war.The whole population was ap- +.; 0 s\u2018atement against him, It is also reported that the evidence shows that Truth was imposed upon.22e SU 0 Es IPliscelancous.CITIZENS INSURANCE CO, OF CANADA.HEAD OFFICE : THE CITIZENS\u2019 BUILDING, 179 ST.JAMES STREET, MONTREAL.CAPITAL - - - - - - $1,188,000 CASH ASSETS, 1st January, 1880, per Government Blue-Book, - - 349 258 DEPOSIT with Dominion Govt.- 112,000 LOSSES PAID to 1st Jan, 1880.1,549,625 DIRECTORS.SIR HUGH ALLAN, President.HENRY LYMAN - - - Vice-President ANDREW ALLAN, N.B.CORSE, ROBERT ANDERSON, J.B.ROLLAND ARTHUR PREVOST.ARCH'D McGOUN, - - Secretary-Treasurer GERALD E.HART, - - General Manager CAPT.JOHN LAWRENCE, Special Agent.Prompt and Liberal Settlements.Alfred Perry, Agent for the City of Montreal November 21 mwf 279 MR.ALFRED PERRY has much pleasure in announcing to the public that he has been appointed LOCAL AGENT for the CITIZENS\u2019 INSURANCE CO.OF CANADA.Office, CITIZENS\u2019 BUILDING, 179 ST.JAMES STREET, November 22 mwf 279 The Graphic Company, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a dividend at the rate of SIX PER CENT, has been this day declared upon the Capital Stock of THE GRAPHIC COMPANY, payable at its office in Montreal, on and after the 3rd day of January, 1881.The Transfer Books will be closed from the 18th day of December instant, until the 3rd day of January following.By order, ALEX.F.RIDDELL, Secretary.Head Office Graphic Company, Montreal, 1st Dec., 1880.ws 3J 288 EASTERN TOWNSHIPS BANK, Dividend No.42.Notice is hereby given that a Dividend of Three and One-Half per cent.upon the paid-up capital stock of this Bank has heen declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at the Head Office and Branches, pn and after Monday, the third day of January next, The Transfer Books will be closed from fhe 15h to the 30th December, both days By order of the Board, WM.FARWELL, General Manager.Sherbrooke, 2nd Dec., 1880 du mwf 291 Union Bark of Lower Canada DIVIDEND NQ, 30.Notice is heroby given that a Dividend of TWO PER CENT.upon the Paid-up Capital Stock of this Institution, has been declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at the Bank, and its Branches, on and after MONDAY, the THIRD day of JANUARY, 1881.The Transfer Books will be closed from the 16th to the 31st December next in- clysive.By order of the Board, ) P.MAcEWEN, Cashier.Quebec, November 30, 1880.31D 288 IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA.DIVIDEND NO, 11, Notice is hereby given that a dividend of three and one-half per cent.upon the paid- up capital stock of this institution has been declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at.the Bank and at the branches on and after Monday, the 3rd day of January next.The transfer books will be closed from the 17th to the 31st of December, both days inclusive.By order of the Board.D.R.WILKIE, Ca: hier.November 37 mw 3J 284 Crowned with foam is the goblet, but tis not champagne, Source of headaches, and heartaches, and gastric distress ;

new wholesale and retail store opened by Mr.Adam Darling, on the corner of St.Peter and St.James streets.The passer-by is immediately struck by the lightsome and comfortable appearance of the interior.Entering, the visitor's gaze is at once met with a dazzling array of pottery and glassware, which, we venture to say, cannot be surpassed by any store in the Dominion, if equalled.Mr.A.Darling, with his usual enterprise, has entered upon a new departure in his line of business, and one, we think, which will commend it to the public.He has opened a branch establishment to his extensive china and delf house, where he intends to sell, at wholesale prices, articles of delf, china and glaseware, which now have to be purchased at retail prices and at exorbitant rates.The purchaser at this store will have the benefit of a good article at the lowest price.The store has been beautifully arranged for the connoisseur in delph ware.\"The place is well lighted by about a dozen branch gasaliers put up by R.Mitchell & Co.Linolium has been put down all over the store.Down the centre is placed a massive table of three tiers on which are displayed an array of fine pottery that would send a bric-a-brack hunter crazy.On each side are racks filled with samples of pottery ware, statuary, Terra Cotta, &c., that defies competition in the Dominion.The tables and sample racks are covered with some 300 yards of black velvet and bound with 1,000 feet of gold moulding.In the recesses arc placed ten handsome small mirrors, while at the further end is, perhaps, one of the finest mirrors on the continent, manufactured especially for Mr.Darling\u2019s store, and costing some $1,000.This piece of work is from the establishment of James Thomson.It is decorated with two beautiful statuettes of « Beatrice\u201d and «\u201c Maidenhood.\u201d The taste displayed in the arrangement of the wares is worthy of all praise.At the entrance the visitor is met with a well-cut and artistically posed statuette of « Santa Philomene,\u201d by J.Durham, surrounded by the \u201cGreek Slave,\u201d \u2018Shakespeare,\u2019 \u201cMilton,\u201d « Byron,\u201d \u201cGathe,\u201d « Goldsmith,\u201d and others.Movingdown hy the right aisle on each side may be seen Haveland's Cerannic Vases, in beautiful and artirtic designs by leading French artists, Dresden Majolica jugs, vases, flower-stands, &c., in all designs.Then comes choice and unique French dinner services, of some 30 different patterns.Next to this, there are shown what is called metallic china, very pretty and delicate work, suitable for the handsomest residence, Near these can also be seen costly hand-painted Dresden china tea cups and saucers.Then comes good old Wedgewood, with its Egyptian designs and its milky-blue, made up into vases, flower- stands, jugs, checse and bread covers, &c.Next is seen the latest thing out in chinaware, \u201cSnow China,\u201d delicately finished with flowering, the colours of which are simply charming to behold.We are also shown 120 patterns of chandelier sets in different designs, 50 different patterns of French and English china tea patterns, from the «Old Widow\u201d to the present modern belles, ¢ Tete-a-Tete\u201d services\u2019 for invalides, and after-dinner sets.The plain French china sets are also neat and chaste, and fit for any household.French breakfast sets, dessert sets, and Baccaret glassware are found in profusion and in designs that cannot fail to suit the most fastidious taste.Then there is the old- fashioned, but much-prized, Danish ware, in all shapes and forms.The fine cut-vlass ware of John Ford Edinburgh, for which Mr.A.Darling is sole agent, is worthy of a visit.Nothing that we have seen can surpass this feature of the store in excellence.The Bohemian Terra Cotta is of the best, and the subjects amusing and instructive in an artistic point of view.The ivory teapot ware is also worthy of attention, and the American glassware and the handsome punch bowls.The white stoneware calls forth praise for the good workmanship displayed.The whole of it is from the firm of J.& G.Meakin, England.Chastely designed toilet setts in Bohemian glass are also to Le seen and to be had at low prices.There is also a plentiful supply of flower ornaments in every conceivable design to choose from and all Malachite work.The Minton work in jugs, cups, etc., comes up to its well-known reputation.The glassware is enormous.Champagne, claret, sherry, port, curaco, liqueur ginger, and beer glasses are to be found in profusion in all shapes and designs and at wholesale prices.Hundreds of other articles are also to be seen well worthy of inspection and purchase.Certainly the enterprise of Mr.Darling is deserving of every support, and we venture to say that it will receive due acknowledgment from the public.The store will be opened for business on Thursday morning.CIVIC AFFAIRS, FINANCE AND CITY HALL COMMITTEES.A joint meeting of these Committees was held yesterday afternoon at 2.30.Present\u2014 Ald.Nelson (Chairman), Laurent, Grenier, Gilman, Robert, Holland, Mooney, Thomas Wilson and Greene.The petition of the Rev.Mr.Chabert was read, asking tor a grant of $200 to enable him to bring a collection of Fine Arts, at present at Malone, N.Y., to this city, for the purpose of opening a School of Fine Art.After some discussion, it was resolved to report to Council that the application be not entertained, Ald.GILMAN brought up a question of Emmanuel Church having paid some taxes on their property, which he considered they should not have been compelled to do.The church had acquired a lot for the building of a church in 1875, and did not build the church that year, but the ycar following, and it was in that year that they were taxed for this property.He thought that Emmanuel Church should not be compelled to pay that tax, unless all the churches in the city did the same._ The matter was laid over till next meeting.The Committec then adjourned.MARKET COMMITTEE.This Committee met yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock.Present \u2014 Ald.Holland (Chairman), Kennedy, Lavigne, Gauthier, Mooney and

A petition was read from Alfred Lesperance, to transfer his license for keeping a \u2018 butchers\u2019 stull.\u2014Laid over.Donald, Mrs McDonald, Alexander; A J ] A petition was read from

purpose.Ald.Laviese thought the western end would be just as good for the purpose.\u2018The CHAIRMAN said if they let them have that end they would have to transfer the butter market.Ald.Mooney thought it would be more central to have it in the western end, and asked what rent they received from that end.The CHAIRMAN said in the western end they got $200 for rent, while in the eastern end they received $1,200.Ald.Kenneoy asked whether it would not interfere with the butchers?The CHAIRMAN Said he thought the Abattoir Company intended to slaughter cattle on their own account, and have à wholesale pcent there.Ald.Kexxepy said he thought the butchers were at the mercy of this Company, and he would like to see the butchers before anything was done.The matter was finally left over in order to get the opinion of the butchers on the subject.Applications were read from John Hamall, Ferdinand Bayard, Joseph Montmarquet, and Augustin Benoit, for the position of Meat Inspector.Ald.KENNEDY moved, seconded by Ald.Mooxey, \u201c That the Committee report to Council, recommending Mr.John Hamall for the position.\u201d The motion was carried, Ald.Lavigne oppesing it.The Committee then adjourned.LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.GENERAL SESSIONS OF THE PEACE.The Court opened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, C.A.Dugas, Judge of Sessions, presiding.His Hoxour then pronounced sentence on the following prisoners convicted during the present term :\u2014 James Simpson, larceny, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.John Logan, receiving stolen goods, two yep in the

adjourned to Thursday morning at 10 o\u2019clock.THE ABATTOIR QUESTION.STEPS TAKEN BY THE ST.GABRIEL VILLAGE COUNCIL.At a meeting of the above Council, Leld on Monday evening, the 6th inst., the following resolution was unanimously passed :\u2014\u201c That the Municipality of the the Village of St.Gabriel prohibits the ercction of any abattoir within its limits, and will not permit any stream of water to be contaminated by the drainage of any such abattoir, built inside or outside of its limite.The drainage from such abattoir running through any of the streams which flow into the St.Lawrence, in contaminating the water supplied to the Village of St.Gabriel by the St.Cunegonde Water Works would be, in the opinton of this Council, greatly objectionable to the interests of this community.\u201d The action of the Council meets with the general approval of the taxpayers.We understand the surrounding municipalities concur in the views of the Council of St.Gabriel.MONTREAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.\u2014 0 ANNUAL MEETING.The annual meeting of the Montreal Horticultural Society and Fruit Growers\u2019 Association, of the Province of Quebec, was held last evening, in the Natural History Society's Rooms, the President, Mr.Cheney, in the chair.The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and confirmed.The Secretary, Mr.H.S.Kvans, then read the following REPORT.As is usual at this season, I beg to submit the following report of the Society's operations during the past year.The usual Annual Exhibition of the Society took place in the Victoria Rink on the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of September last, and though the fimamncial success of the Society's show bar, en4wo or three occasions, been greater, the Exhibition was, on the whole, a -very great success, and much the largest ever 8eld in Montreal.+ The number of entries this year was 1,365, against 1,061 last year, thus showing from year to year a steady and rapid increase.The amount of table-room occupied was about 6,000 square feet, against 4,000 last year, and if entries continue to grow in the same ratio from year to year, the Rink, large as it is, will not be able to hold the Socicty\u2019s exhibits without an annes, and such a condition of affairs has been only brought about by the close and continuous effort on the part of the officers of the Association for some years past.The tables occupied by pot plants were about 900 feet long, cut bloom 100 feet, vegetables 372 feet, apples and pears 342 feet, and grapes, plums, peaches, apricots, &c., 56 feet ; total 1,770 feet of table, averaging 3} feet wide.The handsome prizes offered by the Society for the best tables of plants drew forth three very fine ones, and as they were different in size and shape, were very attractive features in the exhibition, Mr.B.8.Bain also showed a very handsome stand of plants, but not for competition.Mr.Wm.McGibbon also showed a magnificent collection of Boletus, and both these exhibits were considered so highly commendable that special prizes were awa-ded by the Society.I think it will be to the interest of the Society to encourage in every way such exhibits.It is impossible for such a large building not to present a somewhat bare appearance unless there are tables of large and showy plants interspersed here and there.The decorating of the building this year, of course, helped very much to lessen the appearance of business; but the roof being of such a dark colour, prevents the plants from showing out to so much advantage, us if it was white or a very pale pink.The number of plants shown by amateurs was larger than ever before.They reflected not a little credit on the growers, and in some cases carried off the prizes from professional gardeners.The department for second-class amateurs promises to be a great success, and the probabilities are that there will be a much larger number of exhibitors in that department another year.The idea was an exceedingly good one, and deserves to be enlarged upon.The collection of cut bloom shown was not as large as might have been expected ; but this was largely owing to the excessive dry weather.Of all the cut-bloom shown the Petunias were probably the finest.In fact, for the quality of the flowers, they have probably never been equalled at any exhibition in this city.The show of Dahlias was poor,and the absence of our Quebec friends was very noticeable in the Dahlia sections.Trays and vials have been now provided for this department of the Exhibition, and the improved appearance of the cut bloom tables was very noticeable.I think it might be an improvement if, in the collections of cut flowers, the number of blooms or trusses of each variety that might be shown was limited to one, or at most two, specimens of cach.Some exhibitors exhibited only one bloom or truss in each vial, while others had a number bunched together.The Massachusetts Horticultural Society, I believe, follows the plan of limiting the number of Llooms shown.The show of vegetables was magnificent, and was probably on the whole never before equalled, either in quality or quantity.The baskets of mixed vegetables were particularly fine, and greatly admired.The competitions in some of the classes were particularly keen, and the Judges stated that, in some instances, those who were not awarded any prizes at all were almost as good as those taking first prize.Probably no feature in the Exhibition attracted more attention than the display of fruit, particularly the apples.About 1,400 plates of apples and pears were shown, grown in the counties of Hochelaga, Rouville,Huntingdon and Vaudreuil principally, though some were shown grown in the valley of the river St.Francis, near Richmond, and were fortunate enough to obtain a prize.The County of Huntingdon, however, represented by Mr.George B.Edwards, of Covey Hill, carried off both first prizes in County collections\u2014beating Hochelaga.The collection shown was a fine one, and reflected credit on the County in which they were produced ; but Hochelaga can show a larger collection than that shown this year.However, all this competition does good, and probably more has Le Deen learned of the capabilities of this Prothough otuers concerned have taken up the work, this Society has been the mainspring in starting it, aided not a little by the Abbottsford Fruit Growers\u2019 Association.Some magnificent specimens of in-door grapes were exhibited Ly different growers, and attracted the attention of all.Two or three of the varieties, however, shown in this class did not seem to meet with general approval, on account of their poor flavour.A fine collection of out-door grapes was shown, and it is the opinion of many that encouragement should be given to this branch of the exhibition in the shape of prizes.Persons with very limited space at their command can often grow a few outdoor grapes; while to grow hot-house grapes would be altogether beyond their ability.À very fine collection of out-door grapes was exhibited by J.W.Bagley, of Plattsburgh, N.Y., and specimens of the new Niagara and Preniiss grape were also shown.These are particularly referred to in the report of the Committee appointed to examine into their merits, and need not be touched upon by me further than to say that the thanks of the Society are due the senders of the fruit for giving growers here an opportunity of seeing what it is like.The Rink was secured this year for one day longer than former years, and if the entries continue to increase from year to year as they have done lately, it will be necessary to secure the building not only for a still longer time, but to close the entries at an earlier date.Nearly half of the entries come in on the last day ; and though the Exhibition opened to the public at the time specified to the minute, with everything in perfect order, unless improved facilities are provided, it may be impossible to do so another year, The success or non-success of the Show is dependent on the smallest details being provided for.Exhibits were put in their places at the rate of about three a minute, on the morning of the day the Exhibition opened, but this would not be poasible were it not for the desire, on the part of the exhibitors, to second the Secretary\u2019s efforts, and to give no unnecessary trouble.of the roughest kind, and, besides, are insufficient in number.It is imperative that, say, 1.000 running feet of tables be provided, planed, and 50 made that they will fit on the trestles without being nailed.A truck also wants to be provided, cupable of carrying five or six of them, thereby doing away with the slow and laborious process of carrying them one by one.If this is done, I think I can promise that the entries will be closed two or three days earlier.I think it is possible a decrease in the expense thereof will be half.There will also be a considerable diminution in the amount expended for labour.At least one day\u2019s saving in the rental of the Rink and the bill for gas will be much reduced, as owing to the shortuess of the time between the change of the entries and the opening of the show very much work has had to be done at nights.An ample supply of proper tables and trestles will greatly aid in this respect.The Society's Exhibition took place during the first week of the Dominion Exhibition, and it is partly owing to this fact that the receipts at the door were so satisfactory, though falling $433 short of the receipts during the last Provincial ÆEchibition, and nearly $900 short of the amount taken in the year 1865.Two causes have contributed to this.The most attractive part of the Dominion Exhibition was only opened during the second week, and visitors to the city were not very numerous till then, but to have deferred the Horticulture Exhibition so long would have made it too late.The Society did not receiveany moncy from the Citizen's Committee in aid of the Exhibition, though it was certainly the most important ef the minor attractions.Association, hewever, incurred additional expense in decorating the building, and very handsomely, being fully determined that the show should be in every way creditable to Montreal.Cortrary to most experiences of the Socicty the receipts at the door the third day were larger than on the second, which I attribute more to the goodness of the show than anything else.The receipts the fourth day, up to the evening, were fully up-to those of the third day, but having a free display of fireworks on Dominivn Square, alongside the Exhibition, it reduced the receipts for the evening between $150 and $200.If anything of this sort is done again the Society should have a couple of representatives on the Citizens\u2019 Committee to arrange the amusements so that the Society's interests may not suffer.Some have suggested that the Horticultural Show should be held at the Mile-End with the other Exhibition.This, in my opinion, would completely break up the Society's large membership.People will not be at the expense of going out with their families for our show alone, and if they can see our show with the General Exhibition they will certainly not continue to subscribe to this Association.At the Toronto Industrial Exhibition there is a Horticultural display, and, of course, as far as vegetables and fruit are concerned it would be simple enough ; but to move large plants in such numbers such a distance, would shake them very much, and entail large expense.More money is offered in prizes for fruit by the \u2018l'oronto Association ; but for plants the figures are: Toronto, $175 ; Montreal, $490; cut bloom: Toronto, $215; Montreal, $230.In Toronto, consequently, the show of plants cannot bea leading feature, as it is here.While on the subject of prizes, I may state that the amount of prize-money paid this year is 50 per cent.more than the amount paid in 1865, when the Society was under different management, and I have chosen the year when the largest sum was paid in prizes for comparison.The amount of meney expended in prizes for the last six years was $6,696.25, and for previous years, $4,227, being an average increase of about 374 per cent.for six years.Owing to the impoverished state of the Society's affairs, no prizes were offered in 1874, and none to speak of were paid in 1870.The fifth of the series of the Society's reports has just been issued, and the Socicty is again greatly indebted to the Report Committee and the contributors for such a valuable addition to Pomologieal literature, treating of fruits suited to a Northern climate.It is a matter of regret that there was so much delay in issuing it, but the $200 due by the Provincial Government in aid of pub lishing the last one was only paid to the Society recently.The moment the Society were in {unds to meet their other engagements, the work of publishing this one was proceeded with.Only $25 of the expense connected with its issue has been paid so far, and it will be the duty of the Board, for the coming year, to place our claim for the $200 before the Commissioner in such a way that there will be no difficulty in the future in obtaining it when due.A] small but very good library is now owned by the Society, and, though opened to the members on two evenings of cach week during the winter, very little interest was manifested in it.The expenses incurred in connection with it were $25, beside the rent of the room.The Society again obtained most of their Judges from a distance, and their awards were in the main very satisfactory.They were, however, unable to complete their duties till about noon of the second day.The exhibitors are so late in getting their things all placed, that the Judges are always later in commencing to make their awgrds than the time specitied.To meet this, I would suggest tuat the doors of the Luilding be locked at 1 sharp ; and no plants be admitted after that time, and exhibitors be then.given one hour in which to put the balance of their things in their places, after which they must leaye the building.Two or three complaints were made of exhibits and tickets being changed after owners had left them ; and one case was 80 glaring that a reward of $25 was offered to discover the party, or parties, concerned in it, but without success.Such proceedings are very dishonourable, and should be stamped out.The greatest care is necessary in preparing the prize list, in order that there may be no vagueness in the wording, as to what is meant.Some general rule should also be adopted as to what shall constitute an amateur for the guidance of the Secre?tary.I would also suggest that the prizes offered tor large table bouquets be done away with, and the money offered for the best laid out dinner table, or something of that kind.Something novel in the kx- hibition every year is required.The Society have offered prizes for the best kept green houses and window gardens, the present winter, which new departure will, I think, be very popular with the members, some entries having already been made, The fact of no gentlemen's greenhouse having been opened to the members last winter has been the cause of losing several subscribers, but this will be remedied this winter.\u2018I'he Society should have a place of its own, and 1 would suggest that if the Corporation would give Dominion Square to the Society's care for a term of years, with permission to erect a greenhouse upon it, it would be greatiy appreciated by the members, and the square would be a credit to the city and worthy of its name.Such an enterprise as this theugh could only be attempted when & considerable sum of moncy had hecn saved by means of life membership or some such scheme.It is gratifying to be able to state that the membership of the Society has increased this year to 747, being the third largest number in its history.The receipts at the Many of the tables at present in use are.The Cheney, Di.Ambres, Di.Barnes, Adams, Duffy, Morgan and Gunning, for assistance rendered the Secretary in obtaining new members.The collection of the members\u2019 fees is the most important as well as the least agreeable and tedious part of the Secretary\u2019s work, and if more assistance was rendered by the members the labour would be much lightened, and the Society bencfited.The Societys affairs are in a good condition, in fact in such a condition that it would Le able to meet all its engagements honourably, even in the face of à bad year.The financial statement accompanying this report shows a balance in hand of about $891.31, besides which there is the plant valued at about $800; and annually costing more than $1.000; also the plant, stock, &c, which cost $1,117.Two hundred dollars is due the Society for publishing the reports, which will nearly cover all indebtedness.It has been decided to hold ¢ither a Provincial or Dominion Exhibition here next year, and with proper management there is every reason to hope for the continued success and prosperity of the Association.Hexry 8.Evans,

and the market is likely to remain in a position where it can be made very stringent or very easy for short inter vals, Prime mercantile paper is 6 @ 7 per cent.Time loans cost 6 per cent.and a commission for thirty days, but lower rates prevail for loans of long date.\u201d \u2014-Subrcriptions to the Panama Canal Company were opened to-day in Europe and America.The capital of the Universal Company, which is to be the construction Company, has been fixed at 300,000,000 francs, divided into 600,000 shares of 500 francs each.A special Committee, consisting of the firms of Drexel, Morgan & Co., J.& W.Seligman & Co., and Winslow, Lanier & Co., has been appointed to receive subscriptions in America.Despatches received from Europe Saturday report that a premium of 25 trancs was bid in Paris in anticipation of the allotment of shares, There was reported to be a general belief that subscriptions were already coming in, and that more than the full amount would be subscribed for.We have not heard of any Montreal capitalists who have expressed the intention of subscribing to the stock of M.de Lesseps great scheme.Americans, however, have a reason for aiding the enterprise.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 FINANCIAL, The London Economist says: \u2014 The rate of discount for bank bills, sixty-days to three months, is 2} @ 24 per cent., and for trade bills, sixty-days to three months, 2} @ 2% per cent.The Stock markets on Saturday and in the beginning of the week were unfavourably influenced by the gold withdrawals from the Bank ot England, dearer money, and the fall of prices in New York.There was a better tendency late on Tuesday and Wednesday, but American advices, coupled with the gold withdrawals, still prevented any noticeable recovery.The fact the Bank of England rate of discount was unaltered on Thursday caused a recovery at the end of the week, and the volume of business done was very consider able.The result is that most departments close higher on the week, notably foreigns, in which almost the only instance of depression is in United States securities.Some home railways, banks, colonial railways, insurance shares and Turks, in consequence of the cession of Dulcigno, advanced 2 @ 34.The dealings have been enormous, both here and on all European bourses.American Trailways have\u2019 relapsed.Erie preferred are 4 lower, and Ohio & Mississippi }.On thé other hand Union Pacific shares are 2} higher, ard St.Louis Bridge preferred 1}.Mortgages have varied irregularly.\u201d The course of the local Money market continues quiet and unchanged with the situation favouring borrowers.The greater stringency in other leading monetary centres has failed to stimulate us appreciably through the chord of sympathy, and there is every prospect of an easy Money market throughout the ensuing winter months, Good commercial bills, as to name and date, are readily negotiable at 6 @ 7 per cent., and a few prime names on short dates are acceptable at a \u2018fraction less.Call and short-dated loans on desirable stock collaterals are made at 3 @ 4 and time loans at 4 @ 5, according to, circymsiances, The market for Sterlmg Exchange is inactive and nominal at 8} premium for round amounts of sixty-day bills between banks, and 8} cash over the counter.Documentary and Produce Bills are quoted at 78.Drafts on New York are drawn at } @ $ premium as tu size of bills.The values of all the leading bank and miscellaneous shares, which began to appreciate on Saturday, and advanced further yesterday, were all stronger again to-day.Prices are approximating towards the paint reach= ed during the last hoom, but it is noticeable that the deals are not coming up to the same proportions.There is reason in the opinion that the general run of stocks will not be likely to depreciate below their present valuation, making allowance, of course, fur AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.| MONTREAL, WELNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1880.in the late trade there were no sellers under 143}, with 141 freely bid.Peoples, without business, strengthened to 93} bid, 95 ask- Jacques Cartier, in small amounts, commanded 983, and closed at 98} @ 99.Merchants opened at 117, sold up to 118, eased down again to 1174, and closed steady at 1173 @ 117$.There were buyers of Eastern Townships at 115, sellers at 117.Commerce was strong and active, and aold up from 140 to 141, closing at the latter figure bid, 141} asked.Montreal Telegraph at the last Call advanced with sales to 137%, and closed a shade easier at 1371 @ 1374.Richelieu advanced from 63 to 64, and was quoted at the close at 63} @ 65.City Gas changed hands at153ÿ @ 154.Canada Cotton Co.sold 24 per cent.higher at 120 at the morning Board, and at the last Call there were no sellers under 125.ed.The transactions were :\u2014 MORNING BOARD.Montreal, 6 @ 1643, 125 @ 165, 10 @ 166 ;

even finest grades participate in the general dullness, holders of fine insisting in some cases upon former rates, but there are just enough holders who are anxious to see stocks moving, who have reduced quotations fully 5s.on the week, but without inducing business, It is more than probable we shall have a dull and inactive market for the balance of the month.The position of stale summer Butter of all varieties is becoming daily more perplexing to holders of it.The bulk of the stock of these kinds of goods is held by two or three parties, who so far have held with moderate firmness, hoping for a better demand.Some holders who have become disgusted and desiring to see a clearance of such goods, have accepted prices ranging from 72s.@ 76s.Quite a quantity has been sold at this figure, part of which goes to Ireland for repacking purposes.If shipments of this kind of goods would cease from the States and Canada, for a month or six weeks, it would be great \u2018assistance in clear ing up the large stock held here and at other English markets ; but there is a fear of furtHer' large shipments from America of'this class of goods, and should shipments set in to any marked \u2018extent it will make 70s.as probable outside value.I strongly advise the cessation of shipments of all grades which dre not fresh fall goods Or Buprmer goods that are perfectly sweet on top and'sides.We must have a clearance bf tliese old\u201d accumulated lots before any good can be done in shipping fair to good grades to this side.American Butterine is yiry dull, some sales having been made as low as\u2019¥2s, @ 76s.for the best brands.American goods are too brittle and too tallowy in texture and flavour, and the demand has gone off for it entirely to the Continental Butterines, which are more of a buttery texture.It is these Continental Butterines that are playing such sad work with the common to good grades of genuine Butter.The total receipts from the States and Canada for the week ending are 13,931 packages.Carese\u2014Nothing but a hand-to-mouth business passing, with, prices \u2018a\u2019 \u2018hhade casier, even\u2018on firest latesmade Cheese.i hävé to reduce my quotations }s.all round to conform with passing transaction, als thougly there are some holding at 69s.for strictly fine Septembers and Octobers, and LIVERPOOL WHEAT TRADE.A letter to the New York Bulletin, dated the 20th November, says that the Liverpool wheat trade has been good for the past two weeks.The foreign imports have been but moderate, shipments advised from America far from excessive, and a consumptioe demand of full proportions has been experienced.The weather has been as favourable for farm work as could be wished, and labour has been impeded thereby, but the quantity of home grain forwarded to the markets has not n much increased by the opportunity given to farmers through this cessation of labour.Samples also are reported as barely up to the expectations formed of the general quality of the crop, and a larger admixture of foreign grain is needed than was antici- ted.À general survey af the position, 10wever, although :t may point to steadiness for some time to come, does not favour the belief that prices have permanently advanced.The requirements of England and France for American Wheat are this season much less than last, and the increased quantity needed in Germany, owing to the failure of her crop, does not nearly make up for this deficiency ; whilet on the other hand, the visible supply shows: an increase over last year at this time of 2,600,000 bushels.At the same time, the opinion generally prevails that the visible supply in the hands of Western farmers is larger than was the case last year._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CORN EXCHANGE REPORT.Tuespay, December 7.Wheat in Chicago declined fc.Beerronm\u2019s Apvices\u2014Floating cargoes \u2014Wheat quiet.Corn steady.Cargoes ON passage and for shipment\u2014Wheat inactive.Corn inactive.Red Winter Wheat, off coast, 48s.@ 48s.6d.;

the wind blew hard, increasing towards evening to a violent gale.At three o'clock on Monday morning, while they were hove-to, à tremendous sea broke over the schooner, washing everything movable off the deck, and throwing her on her beam ends.In this position she remained for some time, with little probability of coming up, without the loss of her spars, when Captain Locke ordered her two masts to be cut away.This order was promptly obeyed, and the schooner slowly righted, but heavy seas continued to wash over her, and daylight broke without one ray of hope.The hull was entirely unmanageable and exposed to all the fury of th: gale.With NO FRIENDLY SAIL in sight, and the stock of provisions already so mhuch exhausted as to make it necessary to ptt the crew on short allowance ;' it was no-

ground.The Magistrate ordered him to quit the field.O'Kelly then left with his followers, who held & meeting further from the village.At the latter meeting \"Kell y protested against the action of the Magistyute, and denounced Chief Justice May as an ermined ruffian.O'Kelly subsequently sent a telegram to Forster, Chief Secretary.for.Ireland, protesting against the dispersion of a peaceful meeting, and declaring that bloodshed was prevented only hy the self-control of the people, and demanding an inquiry into the cause of the prohibition of the meeting, and into the conduct of the local

a great hanquet was given Parnell at Waterford.He said he did not believe England's great resources adequate to perpetuate hor Government in Tre and.It is abundantly proved that governing Ireland outside of Ireland by power and people who do not live in the country is impossible.« Look,\u201d said Parnell, «at what we have done to this pitiful Government.In twelve months we have obliged them to reverse every principle, every law, every tradition, on which they build their osition.I don't believe Gladstone can settle the Irish gues- tion without breaking up his Cabinet.He could not even pass his miserable httle Compensation Bu last year.IfI had not been confident that the Lords would reject I would have had the Irish party roject it, but I preferred to let the Lords do the dirty work.When John Bull finds he will have to pay £150,000,000 for the next five years to govern this country he will think governing Ireland very cxpensive.I do not believe we can gettle the, national question till we settle the land question.We have 10,000 landlords with 500,000 dependencies arrayed against Ireland's self-government.If the remaining 5,000,000 souls combine, nothing can resist them.The British Government may pass Coercion Acts, though I don't say I would let them; but if they did they would not be advanced one step.I tell them that all their acts and statutes arc so much waste paper.It is impossible in these days to go on governing this country against the will of the \u2018majority of the people.We stand to-day in the same position -that our ancestors stood in.We declare it the daty of every Irishman to free his country if he can, We wll work by constitutior al mears as long as it suits us to do so.| We refu: to plunge the country into THE HORRORS OF CIVIL WAR, when she has not à chance ; but 1- ask any true Irishman whether he \u2018vould\u2019 pot consider it his first duty ag an Irishman to do what he could to enable his country to take her place among the nations of the world, | (Deafening cheers) If if coyld be proyed fo you that there 18 a fair prospect that success would follow from such a sacrifice, I ask you whether it would not be your highest duty to give your lives for your country, that gave you birth.I don't wish to be misunderstopd.Our present path {s within the limits of the Constitution.If I ever call upon the people to go beyond the Constitution we shall do so openly and above-board.We shall nut ask\u2019 the people to take any risk that we are pot willing to share.For the present we will regaln within the yonstitytion, relying on the Parliamentary action of England and upon organized national action at home.I believe we have in these the power to achieye our ends.We call upon You, if you believe jn its use and helieve in our honesty, to help us with the ability and enius that God has given you, confident in the future of oyr common country.\u2019 (Great cheering.) WHAT DILLON SAYS.Dillon, at a land mecting at Fethard, said that within the last few months the Leagne movement had mado an immense advance.Its position in Ireland to-day was such that their Governors must yield to the demand of the Land League or resort to brute force to coerce the mas jority of the Irish people; but if this movement were repressed by force sucha course would leave in the minds of the Irish people such hatred towards the law of England, that nothing but an enormous military force could compel the people to obey them.If the Government attempted to have recourse to coercion, that would render connection between the two countries impossible in the future.If this movement was repressed thay would not be able tp tell how gr when it would blow up, and sweep them and all belonging to them {0 a worst fate than that winch the Land Teague intended for them.The Irish race, all over the world was thoroughly aroused Quenke, December 7.\u2014The [tug steamer « Royal,\u201d lying at Flanigan\u2019s booms, is rex ported on fire to~night.One of the @.ty steam fire-engines has been despatched to the scene of the fire.pono 18 à side-wheel tug, belonging to Mr.Burns, - TNA Ont, December 7\u2014A large brick house on Melbourne street, owned by Mr, Rarnhard, occupied, by.Captain Ross, father of Jas Ross, Toronto, was considerably damaged by fire about 7 o'clock tonight.Loss light.to the great patriotic and national character j of thin movement.He advised them 0 ! stand firm, and show that they were able to | belp themselves, and then their friends in America would be at their backs.THE CORK ASSIZES.The Judge, in charging -the Grand Jury ;

but, on the other hand, a permanent hold may be established over the whole country.The climate and soil present difficulties which are almost insurmountable in summer, and General Skobeleff is well-known to hold the opinion that the good qualities of the Russian soldier are more conspicuous in winter than at any other season.It is, therefore, probable that the attack so long delayed will be delivered during the time of snow, when the army will be at its best, and the horses of the Turkomans encumbered in their movements.ce Coe ' GREECE.STILL BELLICOSE.Paris, December 7.\u2014It is denied that | Greece has\u2019 consented to rénéw direct nego- tuations with Turkey.It'is stated that the Powers have commenced to interchange views on the Greek question, and will probably endeavour to obtain a formal engagement from both countries not to resbrt to arms.! oH : THE ARMAMENTS.BeruN, December 7.\u2014The Weiner Allgemeihe Zeituhg \u2018publishes \"a telegram from Athens, stating that, so far, about 50,000 men have been mobilised.In Greek Government circles it is asserted that there will be 80,000 men on a war footing by the end of the year.Under any circumstances, the frontier could not be crossed before March.The plan of opera:ions is then to advance with two army corps\u2014one, under command of General Soutzo, 50,000 strong, is to march on Japing ; the other, which will muster 30,000, is to march on Larissa.The Volunteers\u2019 Committee reckons on 14,000 recruits.The cost of the Greek armaments down to the end of December will be 42,- 000,000 drachmes.It is rumoured that the Greek Cabinet bas been in constant com- munleation où late with the Government of hia and that the outbreak of hostilitics between Greece and Turkey will probably correspond with the Bulgarian rising, BERKING A BULGARIAN ALLIANOE.CoNSTANTINOPLE, December 6\u2014M.Coumoundourog is reported to have heen recently in communication with certain leaders in Bulgaria, with a view, if possible, to secure concerted action between Greece and the Bulgarian ingurrectionary elements against Turkey.These negotiations, however, have so far simply confirmed the recent statement of the Hellenic I'remier, that there is no possibility of commencing hostilities before next spring.The fact that the Greek Ministry have thus been sounding Bulgaria is interpreted here as proof that Greece will not dare, alone and unsupported, to plunge into a war with Turkey.UNITED STATES.THE MOREY LETTER.New York, December 7.\u2014It is reported detectives have discovered that the Morey letter was written by a man formerly eny- ployed on an evening paper in Brooklyn; who offered the letter to the Sun for $700.\u2018The same man is suspected of having written letters attributed to President Hayes and Conkling, who repudiated them.The parties actually responsible for the Morey letter, it is alleged, have been trying to fusten the authorship on Philp.It is stated that a close examination of the envelope reveals the name of a detective who last summer was frequently in Philp\u2019s company.It is said that the supposed author of the letter was requested to resign from his paper, and one of his associates made a at tte opening of the Cork Assizes, for four counties of Munster, to-day, said some districts were reduced to anarchy bordering on civil war.The whole population was ap- +.; 0 s\u2018atement against him, It is also reported that the evidence shows that Truth was imposed upon.22e SU 0 Es IPliscelancous.CITIZENS INSURANCE CO, OF CANADA.HEAD OFFICE : THE CITIZENS\u2019 BUILDING, 179 ST.JAMES STREET, MONTREAL.CAPITAL - - - - - - $1,188,000 CASH ASSETS, 1st January, 1880, per Government Blue-Book, - - 349 258 DEPOSIT with Dominion Govt.- 112,000 LOSSES PAID to 1st Jan, 1880.1,549,625 DIRECTORS.SIR HUGH ALLAN, President.HENRY LYMAN - - - Vice-President ANDREW ALLAN, N.B.CORSE, ROBERT ANDERSON, J.B.ROLLAND ARTHUR PREVOST.ARCH'D McGOUN, - - Secretary-Treasurer GERALD E.HART, - - General Manager CAPT.JOHN LAWRENCE, Special Agent.Prompt and Liberal Settlements.Alfred Perry, Agent for the City of Montreal November 21 mwf 279 MR.ALFRED PERRY has much pleasure in announcing to the public that he has been appointed LOCAL AGENT for the CITIZENS\u2019 INSURANCE CO.OF CANADA.Office, CITIZENS\u2019 BUILDING, 179 ST.JAMES STREET, November 22 mwf 279 The Graphic Company, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a dividend at the rate of SIX PER CENT, has been this day declared upon the Capital Stock of THE GRAPHIC COMPANY, payable at its office in Montreal, on and after the 3rd day of January, 1881.The Transfer Books will be closed from the 18th day of December instant, until the 3rd day of January following.By order, ALEX.F.RIDDELL, Secretary.Head Office Graphic Company, Montreal, 1st Dec., 1880.ws 3J 288 EASTERN TOWNSHIPS BANK, Dividend No.42.Notice is hereby given that a Dividend of Three and One-Half per cent.upon the paid-up capital stock of this Bank has heen declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at the Head Office and Branches, pn and after Monday, the third day of January next, The Transfer Books will be closed from fhe 15h to the 30th December, both days By order of the Board, WM.FARWELL, General Manager.Sherbrooke, 2nd Dec., 1880 du mwf 291 Union Bark of Lower Canada DIVIDEND NQ, 30.Notice is heroby given that a Dividend of TWO PER CENT.upon the Paid-up Capital Stock of this Institution, has been declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at the Bank, and its Branches, on and after MONDAY, the THIRD day of JANUARY, 1881.The Transfer Books will be closed from the 16th to the 31st December next in- clysive.By order of the Board, ) P.MAcEWEN, Cashier.Quebec, November 30, 1880.31D 288 IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA.DIVIDEND NO, 11, Notice is hereby given that a dividend of three and one-half per cent.upon the paid- up capital stock of this institution has been declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at.the Bank and at the branches on and after Monday, the 3rd day of January next.The transfer books will be closed from the 17th to the 31st of December, both days inclusive.By order of the Board.D.R.WILKIE, Ca: hier.November 37 mw 3J 284 Crowned with foam is the goblet, but tis not champagne, Source of headaches, and heartaches, and gastric distress ;

new wholesale and retail store opened by Mr.Adam Darling, on the corner of St.Peter and St.James streets.The passer-by is immediately struck by the lightsome and comfortable appearance of the interior.Entering, the visitor's gaze is at once met with a dazzling array of pottery and glassware, which, we venture to say, cannot be surpassed by any store in the Dominion, if equalled.Mr.A.Darling, with his usual enterprise, has entered upon a new departure in his line of business, and one, we think, which will commend it to the public.He has opened a branch establishment to his extensive china and delf house, where he intends to sell, at wholesale prices, articles of delf, china and glaseware, which now have to be purchased at retail prices and at exorbitant rates.The purchaser at this store will have the benefit of a good article at the lowest price.The store has been beautifully arranged for the connoisseur in delph ware.\"The place is well lighted by about a dozen branch gasaliers put up by R.Mitchell & Co.Linolium has been put down all over the store.Down the centre is placed a massive table of three tiers on which are displayed an array of fine pottery that would send a bric-a-brack hunter crazy.On each side are racks filled with samples of pottery ware, statuary, Terra Cotta, &c., that defies competition in the Dominion.The tables and sample racks are covered with some 300 yards of black velvet and bound with 1,000 feet of gold moulding.In the recesses arc placed ten handsome small mirrors, while at the further end is, perhaps, one of the finest mirrors on the continent, manufactured especially for Mr.Darling\u2019s store, and costing some $1,000.This piece of work is from the establishment of James Thomson.It is decorated with two beautiful statuettes of « Beatrice\u201d and «\u201c Maidenhood.\u201d The taste displayed in the arrangement of the wares is worthy of all praise.At the entrance the visitor is met with a well-cut and artistically posed statuette of « Santa Philomene,\u201d by J.Durham, surrounded by the \u201cGreek Slave,\u201d \u2018Shakespeare,\u2019 \u201cMilton,\u201d « Byron,\u201d \u201cGathe,\u201d « Goldsmith,\u201d and others.Movingdown hy the right aisle on each side may be seen Haveland's Cerannic Vases, in beautiful and artirtic designs by leading French artists, Dresden Majolica jugs, vases, flower-stands, &c., in all designs.Then comes choice and unique French dinner services, of some 30 different patterns.Next to this, there are shown what is called metallic china, very pretty and delicate work, suitable for the handsomest residence, Near these can also be seen costly hand-painted Dresden china tea cups and saucers.Then comes good old Wedgewood, with its Egyptian designs and its milky-blue, made up into vases, flower- stands, jugs, checse and bread covers, &c.Next is seen the latest thing out in chinaware, \u201cSnow China,\u201d delicately finished with flowering, the colours of which are simply charming to behold.We are also shown 120 patterns of chandelier sets in different designs, 50 different patterns of French and English china tea patterns, from the «Old Widow\u201d to the present modern belles, ¢ Tete-a-Tete\u201d services\u2019 for invalides, and after-dinner sets.The plain French china sets are also neat and chaste, and fit for any household.French breakfast sets, dessert sets, and Baccaret glassware are found in profusion and in designs that cannot fail to suit the most fastidious taste.Then there is the old- fashioned, but much-prized, Danish ware, in all shapes and forms.The fine cut-vlass ware of John Ford Edinburgh, for which Mr.A.Darling is sole agent, is worthy of a visit.Nothing that we have seen can surpass this feature of the store in excellence.The Bohemian Terra Cotta is of the best, and the subjects amusing and instructive in an artistic point of view.The ivory teapot ware is also worthy of attention, and the American glassware and the handsome punch bowls.The white stoneware calls forth praise for the good workmanship displayed.The whole of it is from the firm of J.& G.Meakin, England.Chastely designed toilet setts in Bohemian glass are also to Le seen and to be had at low prices.There is also a plentiful supply of flower ornaments in every conceivable design to choose from and all Malachite work.The Minton work in jugs, cups, etc., comes up to its well-known reputation.The glassware is enormous.Champagne, claret, sherry, port, curaco, liqueur ginger, and beer glasses are to be found in profusion in all shapes and designs and at wholesale prices.Hundreds of other articles are also to be seen well worthy of inspection and purchase.Certainly the enterprise of Mr.Darling is deserving of every support, and we venture to say that it will receive due acknowledgment from the public.The store will be opened for business on Thursday morning.CIVIC AFFAIRS, FINANCE AND CITY HALL COMMITTEES.A joint meeting of these Committees was held yesterday afternoon at 2.30.Present\u2014 Ald.Nelson (Chairman), Laurent, Grenier, Gilman, Robert, Holland, Mooney, Thomas Wilson and Greene.The petition of the Rev.Mr.Chabert was read, asking tor a grant of $200 to enable him to bring a collection of Fine Arts, at present at Malone, N.Y., to this city, for the purpose of opening a School of Fine Art.After some discussion, it was resolved to report to Council that the application be not entertained, Ald.GILMAN brought up a question of Emmanuel Church having paid some taxes on their property, which he considered they should not have been compelled to do.The church had acquired a lot for the building of a church in 1875, and did not build the church that year, but the ycar following, and it was in that year that they were taxed for this property.He thought that Emmanuel Church should not be compelled to pay that tax, unless all the churches in the city did the same._ The matter was laid over till next meeting.The Committec then adjourned.MARKET COMMITTEE.This Committee met yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock.Present \u2014 Ald.Holland (Chairman), Kennedy, Lavigne, Gauthier, Mooney and

thought it would be more central to have it in the western end, and asked what rent they received from that end.The CHAIRMAN said in the western end they got $200 for rent, while in the eastern end they received $1,200.Ald.Kenneoy asked whether it would not interfere with the butchers?The CHAIRMAN Said he thought the Abattoir Company intended to slaughter cattle on their own account, and have à wholesale pcent there.Ald.Kexxepy said he thought the butchers were at the mercy of this Company, and he would like to see the butchers before anything was done.The matter was finally left over in order to get the opinion of the butchers on the subject.Applications were read from John Hamall, Ferdinand Bayard, Joseph Montmarquet, and Augustin Benoit, for the position of Meat Inspector.Ald.KENNEDY moved, seconded by Ald.Mooxey, \u201c That the Committee report to Council, recommending Mr.John Hamall for the position.\u201d The motion was carried, Ald.Lavigne oppesing it.The Committee then adjourned.LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.GENERAL SESSIONS OF THE PEACE.The Court opened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, C.A.Dugas, Judge of Sessions, presiding.His Hoxour then pronounced

following resolution was unanimously passed :\u2014\u201c That the Municipality of the the Village of St.Gabriel prohibits the ercction of any abattoir within its limits, and will not permit any stream of water to be contaminated by the drainage of any such abattoir, built inside or outside of its limite.The drainage from such abattoir running through any of the streams which flow into the St.Lawrence, in contaminating the water supplied to the Village of St.Gabriel by the St.Cunegonde Water Works would be, in the opinton of this Council, greatly objectionable to the interests of this community.\u201d The action of the Council meets with the general approval of the taxpayers.We understand the surrounding municipalities concur in the views of the Council of St.Gabriel.MONTREAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.\u2014 0 ANNUAL MEETING.The annual meeting of the Montreal Horticultural Society and Fruit Growers\u2019 Association, of the Province of Quebec, was held last evening, in the Natural History Society's Rooms, the President, Mr.Cheney, in the chair.The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and confirmed.The Secretary, Mr.H.S.Kvans, then read the following REPORT.As is usual at this season, I beg to submit the following report of the Society's operations during the past year.The usual Annual Exhibition of the Society took place in the Victoria Rink on the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of September last, and though the fimamncial success of the Society's show bar, en4wo or three occasions, been greater, the Exhibition was, on the whole, a -very great success, and much the largest ever 8eld in Montreal.+ The number of entries this year was 1,365, against 1,061 last year, thus showing from year to year a steady and rapid increase.The amount of table-room occupied was about 6,000 square feet, against 4,000 last year, and if entries continue to grow in the same ratio from year to year, the Rink, large as it is, will not be able to hold the Socicty\u2019s exhibits without an annes, and such a condition of affairs has been only brought about by the close and continuous effort on the part of the officers of the Association for some years past.The tables occupied by pot plants were about 900 feet long, cut bloom 100 feet, vegetables 372 feet, apples and pears 342 feet, and grapes, plums, peaches, apricots, &c., 56 feet ; total 1,770 feet of table, averaging 3} feet wide.The handsome prizes offered by the Society for the best tables of plants drew forth three very fine ones, and as they were different in size and shape, were very attractive features in the exhibition, Mr.B.8.Bain also showed a very handsome stand of plants, but not for competition.Mr.Wm.McGibbon also showed a magnificent collection of Boletus, and both these exhibits were considered so highly commendable that special prizes were awa-ded by the Society.I think it will be to the interest of the Society to encourage in every way such exhibits.It is impossible for such a large building not to present a somewhat bare appearance unless there are tables of large and showy plants interspersed here and there.The decorating of the building this year, of course, helped very much to lessen the appearance of business; but the roof being of such a dark colour, prevents the plants from showing out to so much advantage, us if it was white or a very pale pink.The number of plants shown by amateurs was larger than ever before.They reflected not a little credit on the growers, and in some cases carried off the prizes from professional gardeners.The department for second-class amateurs promises to be a great success, and the probabilities are that there will be a much larger number of exhibitors in that department another year.The idea was an exceedingly good one, and deserves to be enlarged upon.The collection of cut bloom shown was not as large as might have been expected ; but this was largely owing to the excessive dry weather.Of all the cut-bloom shown the Petunias were probably the finest.In fact, for the quality of the flowers, they have probably never been equalled at any exhibition in this city.The show of Dahlias was poor,and the absence of our Quebec friends was very noticeable in the Dahlia sections.Trays and vials have been now provided for this department of the Exhibition, and the improved appearance of the cut bloom tables was very noticeable.I think it might be an improvement if, in the collections of cut flowers, the number of blooms or trusses of each variety that might be shown was limited to one, or at most two, specimens of cach.Some exhibitors exhibited only one bloom or truss in each vial, while others had a number bunched together.The Massachusetts Horticultural Society, I believe, follows the plan of limiting the number of Llooms shown.The show of vegetables was magnificent, and was probably on the whole never before equalled, either in quality or quantity.The baskets of mixed vegetables were particularly fine, and greatly admired.The competitions in some of the classes were particularly keen, and the Judges stated that, in some instances, those who were not awarded any prizes at all were almost as good as those taking first prize.Probably no feature in the Exhibition attracted more attention than the display of fruit, particularly the apples.About 1,400 plates of apples and pears were shown, grown in the counties of Hochelaga, Rouville,Huntingdon and Vaudreuil principally, though some were shown grown in the valley of the river St.Francis, near Richmond, and were fortunate enough to obtain a prize.The County of Huntingdon, however, represented by Mr.George B.Edwards, of Covey Hill, carried off both first prizes in County collections\u2014beating Hochelaga.The collection shown was a fine one, and reflected credit on the County in which they were produced ; but Hochelaga can show a larger collection than that shown this year.However, all this competition does good, and probably more has Le Deen learned of the capabilities of this Prothough otuers concerned have taken up the work, this Society has been the mainspring in starting it, aided not a little by the Abbottsford Fruit Growers\u2019 Association.Some magnificent specimens of in-door grapes were exhibited Ly different growers, and attracted the attention of all.Two or three of the varieties, however, shown in this class did not seem to meet with general approval, on account of their poor flavour.A fine collection of out-door grapes was shown, and it is the opinion of many that encouragement should be given to this branch of the exhibition in the shape of prizes.Persons with very limited space at their command can often grow a few outdoor grapes; while to grow hot-house grapes would be altogether beyond their ability.À very fine collection of out-door grapes was exhibited by J.W.Bagley, of Plattsburgh, N.Y., and specimens of the new Niagara and Preniiss grape were also shown.These are particularly referred to in the report of the Committee appointed to examine into their merits, and need not be touched upon by me further than to say that the thanks of the Society are due the senders of the fruit for giving growers here an opportunity of seeing what it is like.The Rink was secured this year for one day longer than former years, and if the entries continue to increase from year to year as they have done lately, it will be necessary to secure the building not only for a still longer time, but to close the entries at an earlier date.Nearly half of the entries come in on the last day ; and though the Exhibition opened to the public at the time specified to the minute, with everything in perfect order, unless improved facilities are provided, it may be impossible to do so another year, The success or non-success of the Show is dependent on the smallest details being provided for.Exhibits were put in their places at the rate of about three a minute, on the morning of the day the Exhibition opened, but this would not be poasible were it not for the desire, on the part of the exhibitors, to second the Secretary\u2019s efforts, and to give no unnecessary trouble.of the roughest kind, and, besides, are insufficient in number.It is imperative that, say, 1.000 running feet of tables be provided, planed, and 50 made that they will fit on the trestles without being nailed.A truck also wants to be provided, cupable of carrying five or six of them, thereby doing away with the slow and laborious process of carrying them one by one.If this is done, I think I can promise that the entries will be closed two or three days earlier.I think it is possible a decrease in the expense thereof will be half.There will also be a considerable diminution in the amount expended for labour.At least one day\u2019s saving in the rental of the Rink and the bill for gas will be much reduced, as owing to the shortuess of the time between the change of the entries and the opening of the show very much work has had to be done at nights.An ample supply of proper tables and trestles will greatly aid in this respect.The Society's Exhibition took place during the first week of the Dominion Exhibition, and it is partly owing to this fact that the receipts at the door were so satisfactory, though falling $433 short of the receipts during the last Provincial ÆEchibition, and nearly $900 short of the amount taken in the year 1865.Two causes have contributed to this.The most attractive part of the Dominion Exhibition was only opened during the second week, and visitors to the city were not very numerous till then, but to have deferred the Horticulture Exhibition so long would have made it too late.The Society did not receiveany moncy from the Citizen's Committee in aid of the Exhibition, though it was certainly the most important ef the minor attractions.Association, hewever, incurred additional expense in decorating the building, and very handsomely, being fully determined that the show should be in every way creditable to Montreal.Cortrary to most experiences of the Socicty the receipts at the door the third day were larger than on the second, which I attribute more to the goodness of the show than anything else.The receipts the fourth day, up to the evening, were fully up-to those of the third day, but having a free display of fireworks on Dominivn Square, alongside the Exhibition, it reduced the receipts for the evening between $150 and $200.If anything of this sort is done again the Society should have a couple of representatives on the Citizens\u2019 Committee to arrange the amusements so that the Society's interests may not suffer.Some have suggested that the Horticultural Show should be held at the Mile-End with the other Exhibition.This, in my opinion, would completely break up the Society's large membership.People will not be at the expense of going out with their families for our show alone, and if they can see our show with the General Exhibition they will certainly not continue to subscribe to this Association.At the Toronto Industrial Exhibition there is a Horticultural display, and, of course, as far as vegetables and fruit are concerned it would be simple enough ; but to move large plants in such numbers such a distance, would shake them very much, and entail large expense.More money is offered in prizes for fruit by the \u2018l'oronto Association ; but for plants the figures are: Toronto, $175 ; Montreal, $490; cut bloom: Toronto, $215; Montreal, $230.In Toronto, consequently, the show of plants cannot bea leading feature, as it is here.While on the subject of prizes, I may state that the amount of prize-money paid this year is 50 per cent.more than the amount paid in 1865, when the Society was under different management, and I have chosen the year when the largest sum was paid in prizes for comparison.The amount of meney expended in prizes for the last six years was $6,696.25, and for previous years, $4,227, being an average increase of about 374 per cent.for six years.Owing to the impoverished state of the Society's affairs, no prizes were offered in 1874, and none to speak of were paid in 1870.The fifth of the series of the Society's reports has just been issued, and the Socicty is again greatly indebted to the Report Committee and the contributors for such a valuable addition to Pomologieal literature, treating of fruits suited to a Northern climate.It is a matter of regret that there was so much delay in issuing it, but the $200 due by the Provincial Government in aid of pub lishing the last one was only paid to the Society recently.The moment the Society were in {unds to meet their other engagements, the work of publishing this one was proceeded with.Only $25 of the expense connected with its issue has been paid so far, and it will be the duty of the Board, for the coming year, to place our claim for the $200 before the Commissioner in such a way that there will be no difficulty in the future in obtaining it when due.A] small but very good library is now owned by the Society, and, though opened to the members on two evenings of cach week during the winter, very little interest was manifested in it.The expenses incurred in connection with it were $25, beside the rent of the room.The Society again obtained most of their Judges from a distance, and their awards were in the main very satisfactory.They were, however, unable to complete their duties till about noon of the second day.The exhibitors are so late in getting their things all placed, that the Judges are always later in commencing to make their awgrds than the time specitied.To meet this, I would suggest tuat the doors of the Luilding be locked at 1 sharp ; and no plants be admitted after that time, and exhibitors be then.given one hour in which to put the balance of their things in their places, after which they must leaye the building.Two or three complaints were made of exhibits and tickets being changed after owners had left them ; and one case was 80 glaring that a reward of $25 was offered to discover the party, or parties, concerned in it, but without success.Such proceedings are very dishonourable, and should be stamped out.The greatest care is necessary in preparing the prize list, in order that there may be no vagueness in the wording, as to what is meant.Some general rule should also be adopted as to what shall constitute an amateur for the guidance of the Secre?tary.I would also suggest that the prizes offered tor large table bouquets be done away with, and the money offered for the best laid out dinner table, or something of that kind.Something novel in the kx- hibition every year is required.The Society have offered prizes for the best kept green houses and window gardens, the present winter, which new departure will, I think, be very popular with the members, some entries having already been made, The fact of no gentlemen's greenhouse having been opened to the members last winter has been the cause of losing several subscribers, but this will be remedied this winter.\u2018I'he Society should have a place of its own, and 1 would suggest that if the Corporation would give Dominion Square to the Society's care for a term of years, with permission to erect a greenhouse upon it, it would be greatiy appreciated by the members, and the square would be a credit to the city and worthy of its name.Such an enterprise as this theugh could only be attempted when & considerable sum of moncy had hecn saved by means of life membership or some such scheme.It is gratifying to be able to state that the membership of the Society has increased this year to 747, being the third largest number in its history.The receipts at the Many of the tables at present in use are.The Cheney, Di.Ambres, Di.Barnes, Adams, Duffy, Morgan and Gunning, for assistance rendered the Secretary in obtaining new members.The collection of the members\u2019 fees is the most important as well as the least agreeable and tedious part of the Secretary\u2019s work, and if more assistance was rendered by the members the labour would be much lightened, and the Society bencfited.The Societys affairs are in a good condition, in fact in such a condition that it would Le able to meet all its engagements honourably, even in the face of à bad year.The financial statement accompanying this report shows a balance in hand of about $891.31, besides which there is the plant valued at about $800; and annually costing more than $1.000; also the plant, stock, &c, which cost $1,117.Two hundred dollars is due the Society for publishing the reports, which will nearly cover all indebtedness.It has been decided to hold ¢ither a Provincial or Dominion Exhibition here next year, and with proper management there is every reason to hope for the continued success and prosperity of the Association.Hexry 8.Evans,
