Crawford, and others.The PRESIDENT said that, to save time, he would suggest that Mr.Thomas Davidson and Mr.W.B.Cumming be appointed to act as Scrutineers, and that Mr.R.Àview are in round figures about $400,000 better than for the year ended April, 1880.But, looking at the General Statement of BANK OF MONTREAL } Montreal, 30th April, 1881.The PRESIDENT then moved, seconded by Dr: G.W.Campers, \u201c That the report of the Directors now read, be adopted and printed for distribution amongst the Shareholders,\u201d and added that the report having been read there was nothing further left for him to say than to congratulate the Shareholders upon the condition of the Bank, and to wish it large and continued prosperity.Having said that he would ask Mr.Smithers, the Geueral Manager, to say a few words to the inecting.Mr.SmirHErs, the General Manager of the Bank, then addressed the meeting.He said that he did not think there was a great deal to be said, for the year had been generally a good one, and they met MONTREAL, June 6.gentain Montreal April 27 100 The supply of Hay on the market to- | reduce the dividend or the Rest, and hav- day was hardly up to the requirements of | ing

shares of Canada Straw was steady at $5 /@ $56.50.| under more agreeable circumstances than last year.When he last met them they had had it under consideration whether to that course had uot been forced upon them « policy the new Board would take in that then come before the Share | retirement of its \u201cPresident.They knew holders with a reduced dividend, | what his character in his business relations but he was happy to say that | were, and many of them could speak better profits were in round figures $400,000 more than in the year ending April, 1880, and it was worthy of remark that the dividend in that year was only maintained by taking $500,000 from the Rest.It was also worthy of remark that the profits this year were the largest that the bank has made since the year 1876.It was true that larger dividends had been paid in those years, but it was only rendered possible by the fact that there was a larger surplus by which the Directors felt themselves able to pay them.It should be explained, also, that during those years whilst the net profits were smaller the gross earnings were very much larger, the requirements of the bad and doubtful debts were so large, and, these of course, had to be met, Whilst it was good for the bank to make profits, it was better still for it to avoid losses.It was te be hoped that now we had touched bottom that the Bank would be able to give better returns to its shareholders.They had only paid a dividend of four per cent.for the first half-year, because they could not tell what their profits might be for the second and more important part of the year.He did not, of course, know what respect ; whether they would adopt the system of dividing a small dividend in the first half year, and then give as large a one at the end of the year as the profits would admit of.They had been able to give to the shareholders of the Bank two-half yearly dividends of four per cent.and a bonus of two, making ten per cent., aud also to have the very handsome surplus of $200,000, more than was brought forward last year, besides writing off a sum of $50,000 on the Bank premises account.He believed that the bad and doubtful debts had been written off as carefully as possible.During his connection with the Bank they had been scrutinised as carefully as possible, as he had described to them at the last annual meeting.As they had careful collections and reliable balance-sheets, they might be assured that the business ot the Bank was never in a better position than it was then.Last year they were able to pay a dividend, of dollars, and this year they were able to report an increase of two millions more, which must, unquestionably, be of very great benefit to the Bank.With reference of Directors considered that it was necessary to make an addition to the By-laws of the Bank, and a resolution on that subject would be proposed.Mr.ALrrèp Browx, \u201cthat the following By-law be, and enacted ger or other officer of the Bank shall be was not going to inflict another speech upon them, but he must say for himself and the other officers of the bank, that thev thanked the shareholders very gratefully for the resolution.It had been thought desirable that this custom should be dispensed with, but the} officers of the bank were glad that such a resolution should be passed.Since the bank haa been prosperous the officers had had some more substantial acknowledgement, but still they recognized and were grateful for the thanks of the shareholders.The MaNaGER oF THE CHicaGo BrancH also replied.He said that it was unnecessary for him to say more than had been said by Mr.Smithers, or to refer to the kind way in which they had recognized the services of their officers.They were glad that the shareholders should so recognize their services.The PRESIDENT mentioned that the Board Mr.Perr REDPATH moved, seconded by the the the same is hereby, shareholders, to General Manaby wit: In case elected a Director and become President, he shall be entitled to receive, wh'le he holds that office and devotes his time and | attention exclusively to the interests of the bank, to the same annual amount that he previously received as salary, and the same may be taken from the funds of the bank, in addition to the sum set apart by By-law 9 as remuneration for the services of the Directors.This resolution was carried nem.con.Mr.MaoraE, Q.C., then moved that the ballot now open for the election of Directors be kept open until three o'clock, unless fifteen minutes elapse without a vote being cast, when it shall bé closed, and until that time, and for that purpose only this meeting be continued.This resolution also was carried.to sever his connection with the Bank, since he had had more responsitilities than he could well bear.He had made a promise to Mr.Smithers that he would stay from Saturdayopened down but reacted as sharply as they declined on account of less favourable for through prevailed which promises business.quo ations for Wheat are more or less which place it ranges at from 20 to 25 per cent, whilst in all the other producing localities it is generally estimated at from 10 to 15 per cent, in the above mentioned district a large number of planters have found it more advantageous to sell their cane than grinding it on their own account.PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.MONTREAL, June 6.The Flour trade ruled dull, without any appreciable change from Saturday.Buyers were not willing operators and holders would not make further concessions.Superior Extra is worth about $5.45, but a favorite brand both on Saturday and today sold up to $5.50.The sales reported on Change embrace Super.Extra at $5.50; Spring Extra on private terms; Choice Superfine at $4.90; Extra Superfine at

and 42fc respectively.In the local market there was, if anything, a steadier tone, but we hear of no transac- offer of 9}c for 209 boxes of fine is understood to have been refused, 93c

General- Manager, had placed before them that day was sufficient proof of the ability and the admirable manner in which he had administered the affairs of the Bank.No thing could speak better than the state ment they heard from him, but it was necessary that the General Manager should be supported by the other officers of the Bauk, and no one, he believed, would admit more readily than Mr.Smithers that in that respect he had been ably supported not only by the officers in Canada but in other parts of the world, where the bank transacted business.Both in Canada, in the United States, and in England, the officers of the bank had performed their duties well, and had sustained its prestige, wherever they had been established.Having said so much, he had nothing further to say, excepting to refer to the loss that the bank had sustained by the on tho: e matters than he could.this year, but that their business had had they had heard read pointed out that the The Hon.Txomsë Ryan seconded

purchases could be made.\u201d Havana, May 27 \u2014(per Mail)\u2014Buyers having generally continued to show the eageruess previously reported for the acquisition of the parcels of all classes and desirable qualities brought forward, the market has ruled very active and strong at quotations, holders even succeeding in some cases to obtain a fraction more; this circumstance having induced the majority of sellers to reject ruling offers, the bulk of sales has remained smaller than might have been expected, judging from the ac- .tive prevailing demand, and prices quoted below must accordingly be considered as nominal, on account of the strong upward tendency which is being noticed at the close.Owing to the beneficial influence of the late rains, which seem to have been general, the appearance of the fields bas greatly improved, and the cane for the next crop, for the safety of which great fears were entertained, is now secured te- yond all doubt.The most important de-

but take the proved and notorious political scandals of the last quarter of a century in Canada, and apportion them between parties, and it is easy to see on which side the preponderance lies.From such a performance as that of the Conservative M.P.who went to the Penitentiary for contriving that the whole Albany Directory should vote in his favour through the \u2018\u2018 double shuffle\u201d up to the great culminating fraud of the Pacific scandal and back again to Mr.Paquet\u2019s $14,000, including such little goes as Mr.W.Macdougal\u2019s attempts to rob the Montreal Mining Com pany of its property and his brokers or their margins, we shall find the great haunts of fraud in Conservative quarters.Nor is the respective manner of the two parties in dealing with the charges of wrong when they come up less charac: teristic.As in the Pacific scandal and the Paquet affair, the attempt is always to get rid of the inquiry by ¢ Burking\u201d it.The charges against Liberals, on the contrary, have usually been met at once, ag in the two cases we have already alluded to, by the most straightforward denials.SOMETHING ABOUT EVICTIONS.As in many other cases which largely interest mankind or important portions of it, the solution of the Irish question would be rendered more easy if those who undertake to advise and otherwise meddle with it would be guided more by truthfulness and c mmon sense, and less by sensationalisms and passion.Even the passion for humanity may be pushed so far, when nct guided by discretion, as to become mischievous, of which history affords numberless examples.This re flection occurred to us recently, on reading an account of a dinner given to Mr.Redpath, an American journalist, who has been in Ireland, and who has written and spoken much about the misery of the peasantry and the wickedness of English laws, to which he imputes that misery.There can be no doubt about the misery of & portion of the peasantry of Ireland, nor can there be any question that in past times, when it was the fashion for all dominant peoples and races to tyrannize over subject peoples and races, the British people were dominant and the Irish sulb- ect.If the Irish had been dominant and the British subject, the oppression would have come from the other direction.So far as it is possible to make reparation for the past, however, it is the duty of Linglishmen to endeavour to do whatever in them lies, without new injustice, to atone for by-gone wrongs.Ignorance and selfishness will, of course, stand in the way, as they always do of reforms; but whatever can be done by law to cure the evil which law has inflicted ought to be accomplished.But, admitting all this, what are we to think of sueh speeches as those of Mr.Redpath, on the occasion in question, about the Irish Land League?If he had not been carried away by the fanaticism of benevolence, must he not have remembered that he was addressing an audience living under laws which were, in substance, identical with those he was denouncing, and yet who, far from considering themselves to be oppressed, boast of their freedom ?The great point made just now against the Irish Land laws is the power of eviction for non-payment of rent.But let Mr.Redpath hire a farm in New York State, and we shall be very much surprised if he does not find himself turned out, in case of nonpayment of rent, long before he has got the length of what is called in Ireland the \u2018\u2018 hanging gale,\u201d or to the end of the credit allowed the tenant by custom in some parts of the country.It is enough to ask the question whether a tenant in the United States can insist on keeping property without paying rent, let the nonpayment arise {from misfortune or fraud, in order to show that, by whatever name\u2014 eviction or otherwise\u2014the owner of property must have means to regain possession.Let us come nearer home.The .pen Seminary of Montreal has always enjoyed the reputation of being a liberal landlord ; but in cases where it has leased parts of its domain, 18 there any one who supposes that the tenant would be suffered to go on year after year without payment of rent, and yet remain in possession of the property ?No doubt that might be done as an act of charity in particular cascs, but an act of charity is not an act to be enforced by law.We come back, therefore, to the proposition with which we started, that the outcries against the law which permits eviction in Ireland are absurd in the mouths of men who would be very much astonished if any one proposed to prevent evictions under the same circumstances in the State of New York or in Canada.So far as we can see, the difference between Ireland and America in this respect is mainly this \u2014that in America the defaulter goes quietly\u2014in Ireland he resists and callson his neighbours to help him in his resistance, and, perhaps, shoots his landlord at last.What really makes the superiority of the position of such few Americans and Cavadians as prefer to hire the land of others rather than to buy, is that here the landlord is often puzzled to find tenants, while there the would-be tenant is puzzled to find land which he can lease.It is the comparative plenty of land, not the differ ence in laws, which makes the difference in the condition of the people ; and it may safely be said that in whatever respect the laws differ from the American is in favour, of the tenant.Give in Ireland the same anxiety to get occupants for land, which prevails in America, and the whole problem would be solved at once.This, however, is only one of the difficulties which arise from a merely sensational view of things.The misery of certain classes is undoubted ; the demand for any measure which can ameliorate their lot is crying; but, unfortunately, there 18 reason to fear that the misfortune of these classes is often used to excuse, in other classes, acts of sheer fraud and robbery.There is always a difficulty in getting at the real truth in times of excitement, and we, of course, do not vouch for the following facts; but it was stated with what seemed to be full authority in the House of Commons.The case of au evicted tenant, subsequently arrested under the Coercion Act for violent demonstrations against the payment of rent, came up for discussion there.He was, according to first showing, a vietim to the cruelty of landlords, and to the law of eviction.In fact it turned out that he had rented sixteen Irish acres for £18 15s.per annum ; but he had sub-let the half of it for £22 10s.The victim of oppression, himself, was eighteen months in arrears for rent when evicted ; but he had made his eub-tenant pay two years in advance.It is things \u2018like this which newspaper correspondents and tourists in search of a sensation do not see, though the wretchedness of men trying to support families on plots of one or two acres of barren soil and in a too Lumid climate is obvious to all.Mr.Redpath compared disadvantageously the position of these people, and 1t is to be feared only too justly, with that of the former negro slave, But he forgets that, at least, no one exer- | cises any physical restraint to retain these people in their abject condition.On the contrary, many landlords, whether they are or are not as liberal as they ought to be, are only too glad to contribute means to enable the tenants to leave, and to emigrate to places where their labour will give them a living many times better than the cultivation of their so-called farms, even if they had the fee simple for nothing.Small obligations are great to little people ; but a rent of £1, £2 or £3 per annum, even in the West of Ireland, as we have often pointed out, cannot make the difference between starvation and the decent maintenance of a family.While we desire, therefore, every just and sound amendment of the Land Laws iu Ireland, every possible restraint on the cruel exescise even of legal right, we cannot but see that no such amendmen\u2019 will be adequate to lift a large class out of their misery.It is hard to complain of the mistakes of people who suffer ço much, and who have so little means of forming a sound judgment even as to their own affairs.Besides, there is much that is respectable and amiable in the desire to cling to the old sod.But what would the world be to-day if everybody bad been actuated by that feeling ?It may safely be said, we think, that there will be no general agricultural comfort in Ireland until the people themselves learn, as they are fast learning, that it is as great folly to try to make a living out of an insufficient farm, as it is to expect to keep a cow on too little grass.If the popular advisers were to turn their attention more earnestly to that view of the subject, they would not make so much noise; but they * would effect much more good.THE SAME EVERY WHERE, Scandals appear to be the legitimate outcome of Conservative rule.The Conservatives have control of the Dominion Government, and are also in power in the Provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia.Hence we have the Whitehead-Mackintosh, the Muskeg, and various other scandals at Ottawa ; we have a Paquet scandal in Quebec, and a Seeton scandal in Nova Scotia.The latter seems to be about the most nefarious transaction of thelot.The Government of Nova Scotia, it appears, wished to run the Province in debt to the extent of some hundreds of thousands of dollars, on the plea that more money was required for roads and bridges.A Bill empowering the Government to borrow the amount said to be required was agreed to by the House of Assembly, but an adverse majority in the Legislative Council had to be overcome before the Bill could be passed iuto laws The Government were not to be baffied, however, and so they set to work to procure the passage of their Bill through the Council in & truly Conservative manner.A leading Government supporter named Joseph Seeton was engaged to approach a certain aged Legislative Councillor, named Mr.W.C.Whitman, of Annapolis, and offer him $1,000, provided he (Mr.Whitman) would resign, in order that Mr.Seeton might be appointed to the vacancy thus created.The facta of the case soon leaked out, and when the charge of attempted bribery was made by the Opposition, the Government organs made a general denial.Mr.Whitman then published a sworn declaration giving the particulars, and proving that not only did Mr.Seeton attempt to bribe him, but that in doing so Mr.Seeton was acting for the Provincial Government.The following is Mr.Whitman\u2019s sworn declaration :\u2014 I, William C.Whitman, of Lawrencetown, in the County of Annanpelis, Legislative Councillor for the Province of Nova Scotia, do solemnly declare that on or about the twenty-ninth day of March last past, Joseph Seeton, of Halifax, in the County and City of Halifax, merchant, called at my residence in Lawrencetown aforesaid, in the evening of the said day, and approached me by asking if my salary as Legislative Councillor was guaranteed to me during the remainder of my life, or so long as the present Government should continue in power, that 1 would resign amy position as said Legislative Councillor aforesaid.; After some further conversation the said Joseph Seeten left my house, and returned on the following morning, it beiug the thirtieth day of March last past.On the morning of the said thirtieth day of March the said Joseph Beeton again called at my house, and there and then offered me the sum of one thousand dollars if I would place my resignation as said Legislative Councillor in his hands, which I refused to do, adding that I never would be the recipient of money at tne sacrifice of henour.He further said that he had a team fen- gaged to convey him to the bank in Bridgetown, where he would draw the cash and Pay it over to me immediately upon his return to Lawrencetown aforesaid.~ He further told me that he had the assurance of the Government that immediately upon the receipt by them of a telegram from him, the said Joseph Seeton, informing them (the Government) that I had placed my resignation im the hands of the said Joseph Seeton, that he, the said Joseph Seeton, would be gazetted to fill the vacancy in the Legislative Council caused by my resignation.And I make this selemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the Act passed in the thirty- seventh year of Her Majesty's reign,intituled, \u201cAn Act for the Suppression of Voluntary and Extra Judicial Oaths.\u201d Wu.©.WHITMAN.This declaration was made before me at Lawrencetown, this twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one.WiLLiaM MILLER, J.P.The Tories were at a loss to know how to meet this statement.Mr, Whitman was à gentleman whose character was above reproach, and his veracity could not safely be impugned.What was to be done ?A statement was prepared for Mr.Seeton to sign, setting forth that Mr.Whitman must have misunderstood the purport of his conversation with Mr.Seeton, since no such offer of $1,000 had been made, as alleged by Mr.Whitman.Mr.Seeton signed this statement, but shrank from the ordeal of swearing to it.His conscientious scruples were t00 strong to suit the purposes of those whu engaged him to do their nefarious work.Mr.Seetoh\u2019s denial therefore, goes for nothing.The whole transaction, as we have before remarked, is quite in keeping with the antecedents of the Conservative party in other parts of the Dominion, and is no worse than the \u201c trade \u201d by which the new President of the Council hopes to obtain a seat in the House of Commons.Amore the guests at the Windsor are His Honour the Lieut.-Governor of Quebec and Madame Robitaille, Capt.Sheppard, A.D.C., Lord Elphinstone, the Master of Eiphinstone, and Mr.M.McLeod, Q.C., of Charlottetown, P.E.L EE ECR FUNERAL OF THE LATE JOSEPH MACKAY.Yesterday afternoon ¢ Kildonan Hall,\u201d on Sherbrooke street, was filled with a large number of citizens to attend the funeral of the late Joseph Mackay.The funeral cortege left the residence at \u201c3.30 p.m.and proceeded to Crescent Street Church, where the funeral service was held.The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers:\u2014Dr Dawson, CMG;

for, be it remembered that the weal of our City and common country is specially enhanced by the sterling integrity of our merchants.Having gained a large competency, Mr.Mackay, years ago, wisely relaxed his commercial toils and speut much time in benevolent occupations, and in visiting many parts of the world, from which he gathered, with discriminating taste, works of art to beautify and adorn his home\u2014that home in which so many of us, and so many from far beyond our city and country, have enjoyed his genial, large-hearted Lospitality.In his numerous and extensive travels he made the acquaintance and gained the warm esteem of many distinguished mig- sionaries, ministers and laymen, and became more and more deeply interested in Christian work as carried on in the great mission fields of the world.At the same time his patriotism, his love of Canada and her institutions, as his adopted country, was strong and practical.Hence, by common consent, our public journalists have rightly placed him in the foremo.t rank of our philanthropists.He was a true and an unostentatious friend of the poor.With generous liberality he aided our local benevolent institutions, and extended his benefactions far beyond our city.But the crowning act or his beneficence was the founding, at his sole expense, during his lifetime, of the \u201c Mackay Institute for the Deaf and Dumb.\u201d As President of that institution, he had for several years the satisfaction of directing its work, gathering round it many warm friends, and seeing its success.His name is embalmed for generations to come in connection with this work, and already grateful thanks have arisen to God from the hearts of many affiicted parents and children, for his Chrisclike deed in breaking the solitude of their being, and letting in upon their souls the saving light of the gospel.He esteemed very highly all instrumentalitics designed to scatter the truth of God, and, therefore, took a deep interest in the work of the Bible Society, and of distinctive Missions and Mission Schools in this Province, as well as in the general Home and Foreign Mission work of the Church.Being fully persuaded of the necessity of a learned and godly ministry in order to the growth and stability of the .church, he was from the beginning a member of the Board of Munagement, and a most liberal supporter of the Presbyterian College, Montreal.He was one of the little company of enlightened and earnest-hearted men from our different congregations who first assembled to consider the propriety of establishing such an institution, and the results sinc: have more than justified the wisdom of their decision.Many of you know how much this church owed him throughout its entire history, For twenty years it has been my happiness to be associated with him in its fellowship ; but some of you can recall his connection with it for a longer period, for he joined Cote Street Church atit: formation, and cou- tinued to the last, with unwavering fidelity and attachment, to promote its success, both by his offerings and his works,having served in it as a Sunday School Teacher, a Deacon and an Elder.; terian by enlightened conviction and uni- by the Rev À B Mackay, Rev Dr Jenkins.MONTREAL HERALD AND \u2014 x formly true in the church of his choice, he \u2018 embraced in his sympathies, as all true ; whole household of faith by whatever name known.And now, without presuming to invade the sacred precincts of domestic life, suffice it to say that the Christian purity, kindness, and affection of the deceased, as well as his devout and humble piety, can only be fully understood and appreciated by those who were the happy inmates of his home.It is enough for us, however, to look upon and to cherish with becoming respect the memory of an unblemished character sustained before the church and amid the scenes of commercial lite during fifty years.And above all, let us not forget that the true strength and beauty of that character, whether exhibited in business or in specific religious service, arose from faith in God, faith in Jesus Christ, reliance upon the un- tailing efficacy of prayer, which was his solace to the end, and upon the power of the Holy Ghost to guide and to sanctify.The testimony of his whole life, briefly epitomized, is this, that true consecration to God and his service may be united with diligence in business; that men should \u201c seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness;\u201d that « godliness is profitable unto all things having the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.\u201d And well may we say at the close of his long life, ¢ Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.\u201d Thus it was with our departed brother, and thus may it be with us all, through the infinite grace of God our Saviour.Amen.At the conclusion of the sermon, Rev.Dr.Jenkins offered prayer, and the service was closed with the benediction by the Rev.A.B.Mackay.The runeral cortege then left the church, and proceeded to Mount Royal Cemetery.In connection with the funeral of our late esteemed citizen, it is a remarkable coincidence that four years ago, yesterday, the cor- ner-stone of the Mackay Institution for Deaf-Mutes, of which he was the founder, was laid, A BISHOP'S COLLEGE.The annuai corporation meeting of the University took place in the College Hall, Lennoxville, on Thursday, at which were present His Lordship the Bishop of Quebec, R.W.Heneker, D.C.L., Chancellor ;

but how short-sighted are mortals, For by this very circumstance, in all probability, an undue confidence and feeling of security were caused, which prevented that regard for those precautions which are essential to safety.o one could have thought it possible that a vessel on such a stream as this, which could only be navigated with great difficulty in consequence of its extreme shallowness in many parts, could be wrecked and sunk.\u201d re SARNIA.NEW OIL WELL OPENED.SARNIA, Ont, June 6\u2014Oil has been struck on the property of Mr.Alexander MacGregor on the old MacGregor Road, within a ghort distance of the eastern Loundary of che town.A party of young en conceived the idea of sinking a well onthe MacGregor property a few weeks ago.An experienced driller was brought from Petrolia, and work wert on until Friday last, when salt water was reached at a depth of 630 feet.A pump was put in on Saturday, and this morning pumping was commenced with the gratifying result that oil was produced in sufficient quantities to demonstrate that the petroleum deposits extend to this neighbourhood.A great deal of interest has been awakened by the strike, and there is every probability that a number of test wells will be sunk in this locality, and the value of the territory determined beyond doubt.The lowest estimate of the production of this well by experienced men 18 four barrels per day, while others are of opision that it is double that.HALIFAX, \u2014 THE COTTON FACTORY.HALIFAX, N.8., June 6 \u2014A meeting of the Provisional Directorate of the proposed mr re ER I ES MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, TU ESDAY, JUNE 7, 1861 and the Booth Mills at the same place, the York Mills at Saco and several others ;

Dramatic Company gave a performance of Juluis Cesar on Saturday afternoon, presumably in order to give London actors a chance to witness their performance.It is to be hoped that Mr.Irving and the other managers laid the lesson to heart, for most assuredly on their own boards they have never yet arrived at the pitch to which the Meiningen\u2019s have attained.Indeed, without State patronage, it is doubtful whether any English Company could be expected to do s0.The success of the Meiningen\u2019s proved far greater than was ever anticipated, and they have already demonstrated to this city how far behind the little Duchy of Saxe Meiningen is the great Metropolis of the world in dramatic mauners.American managers are endeavouring to negotiate with the Meiningen Company.SHAW LEFEVRE ON THE LAND BILL.LoNpox, June 6\u2014Speaking on the Irish Land Bill, at a meeting held in Liverpool, Mr.Shaw Lefevre said that the more the people discussed the Irish Land Bill, the more would they be persuaded that it was * just and necessary for Ireland, and that it was in the highest interest of the whole country that it should speedily pass into | law.The effect of the Bill was practically | to fix the peasantry of Ireland upon the soil which they had improved and cultivated, to give them security, and to facilitate the multiplication of ownerships among the occupiers of land in Ireland.The measure had been approved by an immense majority of the Irish members, and to reject such a measure in the Upper House would be an act of insanity and folly quite incredible.For his own part, he looked forward to this Bill becoming law in all its essential features.He believed it would be a great} benefit to Ireland, and would remedy existing evils.IRELAND.BURNED IN EFFIGY.DuBLIN, June

League in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, among five million people, Add Dublin RIBBON LODGES ORGANIZED.A correspondent says it is stated that in most of the disturbed districts Ribbon Lodges are in active operation, and to these Lodges is to be traced the actual car rying out of the system of agrarian terrorism, FURTHER ARRB:STS.Farrell, Chairman of the Town Commissioners of Mullingar, County Westmeath, and President of the Branch of the Land League, and also Tuite, the Secretary of the Branch, have been arrested under the Coercion Act.A constabulary circnlar has been issued instructing County Inspectors in regard to the service of writs, with a view of furnishing protection for Sherif\u2019 ageuts, &c.Only one man was shot in the fight with the bailiff at Bally Brophy on Sunday.The affair was not entirely of an agrarian character.FRANCE.MICHEL\u2019S REPUBLICANISM.Paris, June 6.\u2014Robert Michel publiches a long letter addressed to Prince Napoleon in Le Universe, this morning, in which he reaffirms the sincerity of his own conversion to Republicanism and reproaches the Prince for his unpatriotic defence of Italian interests against those of France in the Tunis affair.GREAT PICTURE SALE.At the sale of the double collection there was presented such an assemblage of relics of great historical personages as has been rarely seen, and competition was assionately keen.The ¢ Flambeaux of urenne \u201d brought 40,000 francs ; à garniture de chemin, by Clodion, 80,000 francs ; one table brought 38,000 francs, and à little table of the Dauphin 18,000 francs.It is not known that any American has been among the competitors for the relics of royalty which, as things go, 1s rather surprising.GERMANY.THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.BerLIN, June 6.\u2014A curious atory is told here.A horse, while crossing the Electric Railway, having set his hoof upon the rail, was instantly thrown down, so strong was the current, and another horse, having also touched the railway with his shod hoof, received a shock which sent him galloping off in wild terror.RUSSIA.THE CZAR AND THE NIHILISTS.Sr.PETERSBURG, June 6\u2014The Czar\u2019s Palace at Galschina is filled with soldiery and police.Everyone having business at the Palace is subjected to a vigorous search whenever they have occasion to go there.The Court will soon remove to Peterhof, which has a small port at the mouth of the Neva.Four light-ships will be anchored there, and no other vessels be allowed to approach.Two yachts will always be ready to convey the Czar to and from St.Petersburg, accompanied ou either side by a torpedo boat.With reference to the plot just detected to kill the Czar, it is said that a carpenter overheard the Nihilists plotting in a room and informed the police, who secreted themselves the next day behind the furniture.The Nihilists again met, and, after a six hours\u2019 confer ence, resolved to kill the Czar.The police thereupon suddenly sprang up, and captured all the conspirators.The excitement against the Jews here has abated, but not entirely disappeared.SPAIN, \u2014 SUPPRESSING CARLISM.MaDRID, June 6.\u2014The active electoral preparations of the Carlists in the north and east Provinces, and the recent communications passed between the pretender and his agents in those districts and in Madrid, have decided the Government to order the authorities to watch their movements.The party has shown increased boldness since its local success in the Provincia} and Municipal elections, The army of occupation, under Marshal Quesada, 30,000 strong, will be kept up in the Basque Provinces as the Cabinet possesses information of a powerful organization of Carlists under pretext of the elections.It seems that these intrigues were denounced by the Spanish Consuls in France and by the civil authorities of the north of Spain since the month of March.The Cabinet is quite determined to repress very severely any agitation, and it would be backed by the public opinion of the Conservatives and iberals against Carlism.ANNEXATION OF MOROCCO THREATENED.The Government is determined to inaugurate a more active policy in Morocco.The object of Sagasta\u2019s policy will be to convince the Sultan of Morocce that British diplomacy cannot shield Morocco from Spanish intervention, because Sagasta has received assurances from the Governments of France, Germany and Austria that any extension of the influence of Spain in Morocco would be met with no opposition.England alone is expected to oppose Spanish aspirations which aim at a protectorship.When the Cortes meets in September the speech from the throne will be very energelic regarding Spanish nterests in North Africe.TURKEY, THE ARREST OF PALMER.Loxpox, June 6.\u2014Warhawk Palmers who has been arrested iL Constantinople on suspicion of being the chief conspirator in the plot, writes, on May 27th, that he warned the Grand Vizier in 1868 thata plot existed to assassinate the Sultan, and that some persons privy to the plot are now under arrest.Warhawk was then requested, for his own safety, to quit Constantinople, which he did, but returned in 1877.Wsrhawk states that, for some days past, every sort of inducement has been offered, and threat made, to procure his silence on the affair of 1868.There are in London, he says, abundant papers, which will threw every light on the subject.It is stated that one of Palmer\u2019s reasons for returning to Turkey was to have the affair of 1868 officially re-exam- ined.A few hours after the publication of the letter on the subject, written by Palmer to a local papér, he was arrested BULGARIA THE NATIONAL SENTIMENT.Sorra, June 6\u2014Ex-Minister Karaveloff has received an address from 170 students of Agram University declaring that Bulgarians must employ all means, and even give their lives, to preserve the rights they have acquired.Several Servian deputies have telegraphed similar sentiments.The inhabitauts of the district of Berequatz have expelled the Government Commissioner.A SERIOUS SITUATION.The principality will be proclaimed in a state of seige to-morrow.The Procurator of Widdin bas been arrested.The situa~ tion is very grave.\u2019 A RIVAL FOR THE THRONE.VIENNA, June 6.\u2014It is stated that the Committee of Moderate Liberals of Bulgaria failing to effect a compromise with Prince Alexander have resolved, in certain contingencies, to put forward Prince Waldemar of Denmark for the throne.ARMS FROM RUSSIA.Lonpox, June 6.\u2014A Berlin despatch says 40 military officers and 20,000 rifles are expected in Sofia from Russia.AN OUTBREAK EXPECTED.A despatch from St.Petersburg says reports come from Sofia of the intended concentration of troops at Sistova, and a declaration of a state of siege is apprehended, but they are hardly credited.SOUTH AMERICA.AFFAIRS IN PERU.Lima, May 18.\u2014The Peruvian Congress which was convened on the 15th inst., at Chorillos, failed to assume a constitutional form for want of a quorum.The Chilian Commander may, therefore, form a Government of his own ; the only thin to prevent it is the report that it is decide to recognize Calderon\u2019s Provincial Government, which would be a fatal blow to the pretensions of Pieroto and others of the old regime.It is reported that the Peruvian officers of the new regime on the way south to assume control of the Departments which pronounced adhesion to Calderon were captured by the Montoneros of Solar and executed.Itis also reported that Calderon despatched 400 men to thrash the Prefect of Huaraz into subjection, UNITED STATES, THE SENATORSHIPS.Ausany, N.Y., June 6.\u2014First ballot :\u2014 Jacobs, 25; Conkling, 26; Cornell, 16; Wheeler, 14; Lapham, 3; Rogers, 13; Bradley, 1; Folger, 1; Tremaine,

is \u201cas to how an\u2019adjournment can be earried, ro hope being entertained of breaking the deadlock and effecting an election.The attendance of members this morning was rather slim.MARRYING A CHINAMAN, CHEYENNE, W.T., June 6.\u2014A case of intermarriage between a Chinaman, Lee Chiu, and a white woman named Mrs.Eva Lee, is attracting much attention.The Statutes of Wyoming forbids such intermarriage, and the couple had the ceremony performed in Denver, Col., the laws there not prohibiting it.Lee Chin and his wife have been indicted for miscegenation.The Chinese Consul at Denver, under the direction of the Chinese Ambassador at Washington, became interested in behalf of his countryman, and will contest the case in the Courts.A full statement of the case is being prepared for the Chinese Ambassador to present to the State Department.PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.QUEBEC, June 6.No Committees but that on Private Bills met to-day.It reported the twe Montreal Bills, that to confirm the

Bill to incorporate | L'Union Sucriere Franco-Canadian, Mr.Prefontaine; Bill to amend the Act 16 Vic, cap.65, in- tituled an Act to authorize Francois Daigle and Alexis Dufresne to demand tolls upon a bridge which they have constructed upon the Northern Branch of the River Yamaska, Hon.Mr.Mercier.The Bill respecting the Laval University, and for the purpose of in.reasing the number of its Chairs in Arts and other Faculties within the limits of the Province of Quebec, was held over until to-morrow, at the request of Mr.Taillon, who opposes it.QUESTIONS.Mr.Laberge asked whether the plans and book of reference of the cadastre of the County of Chateauguay have been completed, and, if so, why have they not been entered in the Registry Office of the said county ?Mr.Flynn replied that they were completed, but the Department of Crown Lands had not yet had time to collate them.æMy, Meikle asked, is the Consolidated Municipal Code in English, and which the Government last session said was under consideration, now ready for distribution, and if not, when will it be ?Hon.Mr.Loranger said so many amendments were offered to the Code tLat the Government deferred ail proceeding in the matter until Parliament had decided upon them.Mr.Chapleau, in reply to Mr.Lafontaine, said there had been no official correspondence with the Dominion Government on the question of the sale or lense of the Q, M., O.& O.Railway.A private memorial had been presented by a delegation of members of the Government.The Government would not make public tLe tenders received for the sala or lease of the road until they decided which, if any, they would accept.The House then went into Committee on the Bill concerning the Bar of the Province, and, on rising, reported progress.Mr.Mathieu complained Yof the inconvenience caused by important Committees sitting at the seme time, and hoped it would be rer adied.= in town for the Lieut.-Governor.The House then went into Committee of Supply, and, after a short discussion between Messrs.Flynn and Langelier, adopted the only remaining items of the estimates: \u2014 Registration Service, $41,960; Surveys, $35,000; and General Expenditures of Crown Lands, $50,766.The House took recess at 4.20 p.m.AFTER RECESS The House was occupied all the evening in concurrence on ths report of the Committee of the Whole on the estimates.On the items for Public Works, Mr.Chapleau said, in reply to Mr.Joly, that some of them were for an increase of wages to the labourers on the Provincial Buildings ordered by the late Government during the labour riots in this city.Mr.Joly explained that he had made this arraugement with the express understanding with the contractor that nothing extra should be claimed therefor from the Government.On the item $4,475 for heating apparatus at Spencer Wood, Mr.Irvine thought Spencer Wood too expensive for the Lieutenant-Governor, and was sure the present occupant would be glad to be relieved from the responsibility of maintaining it.He would not care to see it sold, but it might be placed at the disposal of the Dominion Government for the summer residence of the Governor-General, and a more suitable residence obtained He made the suggestion apart from any consideration whatever, and mentioned à rumor that the lawn in front of Spencer Wood had been ploughed up and planted with potatoes.Mr.Joly said he had suggested ploughing up the lawn to get rid of the moss, etc.Mr.Chapleau acknowled the heavy cost of Spencer Wood, but said most ef it was incurred in receiving distinguished visitors to Quebec, and would be expected and approved by the Province, wherever the Governor's residence might be.On the items for the repairs of Court Houses and Gaols, Messrs.Irvine, Ross and Langelier dwelt upon the disgraceful condition of the Quebec Court House.A large number of items were then concurred in.On the items for Reformatories, Mr.Irvine dwelt upon the importance of the training in these institutions.Mr.Gagnon cowplained of the cost of the Sherbrooke Reformatotry, and wished the inmates removed to that in Montreal.Mr.Robertson said Sherbrooke was for Protestants lads,and Montreal for Cathol.cs.A scheme was afoot for the establishment in Montreal of an Industrial School for Protestant boys, and he would be glad to have the boys from Sherbrooke then removed.The cost would be materially reduced, for it was much dearer per head to maintain a few inmates than a larger number.On the item for inspection of Public Offices, Mr.Irvine strongly complained of the Government's action in ignoring the reports of Inspectors against certain officials.It was disgraceful that the offence of appropriating public monies should be overlooked in public employes.A few items under the head of Public Instruction were concurred in, those relating to School Inspectors being held over for further debate.JACK FROST'S RETURN.DESTRUCTION TO VEGETATION ALL OVER CANADA.this section of country was visited by one of the heaviest summer frosts since 1834, doing great damage to all crops.Farmers from Nottawasaga Township bring in reports that last night's frost has been very disastrous to the potato crop, and in many places completely destroyed it; also, the clover and spring wheat was badly damaged.Reports from Osprey Township are anything but favourable.Faimers say nothing of the kind was ever before experienced at this season.Vegetation that yesterday looked so favourable for a good yield is to-day almost ruined.The weather this evening is very cold, with indications of another heavy frost to-night.KingsToN, June 6.\u2014There was a very heavy frost in this vicinity last night.BARRIE, June 6.\u2014There was a very heavy frost last night, so much so that on the high lands even the grass and weeds were frozen stiff.Plants of all kinds, in exposed places, were also mueh damaged.AMUSEMENTS.THEATRE ROYAL.The management of the Royal has secured the celebrated Vokes

the report now before the Council be dererred until the next meeting, and that in the meantime the written opinion of the City Attorney be obtained on the present position of the question.The amendment was unanimously adopted.A report was read from the Finance Committee, recommending that proceedings be taken against the Grand Trunk Railway Company, for the amount of the city\u2019s claim

St.Augustin street?Ald.LAURENT Raid the matter would be taken up at the meeting of the Committee on Wednesday.THR AMENBMENTS TO THE CITY CHARTER.The Finance Committee reported favourably on the following amendment to the City Charter :\u2014 « And whereas it is in the interest of the City that certain provisions of the Charter of the City, 37 Vic,, chap.51, and more particularly Sections 112, 114, 116 and 117 be modified as to the constitutions of a ginking fund for the repayment of the different loans therein mentioned,and of any further loan the said city may be authorized to make, it is enacted that hercafter the city shall Lave power and authority to purchase ana employ for the purposes of the said Sinking Fund such of its own securities as may be procurable at or under par, and for louns to be cffected after the passing of these presents, the city is authorized, if it deems it advisable, to repay any such loans by annual drawings.\u201d Ald.StepHENs moved, seconded by Ald.LAURENT, that the said draft of amendment be approved of, and that the same Le embodied in the Bill of amendments now before the Legislature.He briefly explained that the object of the amendment was for the Finance Committee to be prepared for the future, and iu order that they might be able to meet these loans by annual drawings, gradually reducing the principal until the whole would be paid off.THRE COMMITTEES.It was moved by Ald.FAIRBAIRN, seconded byAld.DoxovaN, and resolved : 1st.That the Standing Committees of this Council shall hereafter hold stated meetings, weekly, fortnightly or

Committees shall be published occasionally in the newspapers.Ald.STEPHENS moved, seconded by Ald.ALLARD, that the resolution be referred to the Board of Chairmen for report.Carried.PUBLIC BATH.Ald.Kenssoy moved, seconded by Ald.JEANNOTTE, that the advisability of erecting a public path on the river front, be referred to the Finance and Health Committees for report.He said that a free public bath was very much needed by the citizens.He knew of a promising young man who had been drowned while in the act of takinga bath in adangerous part of the river near the Island.If they had had a free public bath this would have been avoided.Then, too, it would be useful for the men working on the coal ships.Ald.Taos.WiLsoN\u2014How many will go there ?Ald.Kenvany\u2014'Fhe more the better.Ald.THos.WiLsoN\u2014Who will pay for it ?Ald.Kenngpy-\u2014The city.Ald.Tros.Winsox\u2014It will cost $5,000 a year.Ald.Kennspy said he would rather do that than pay $5,000 for the boys on the Island.Ald.\u2018los.W1L80N replied that they could get à free bath on the Island for five cents.Ald.BrzpHENS thought the matter should only be referred to the Health Committee.It would go to the Finance Committee as a à matter of course.Ald.'Tuos.WizsoN said if they would give him the money, his Committee would give them a free public bath.Ald.Srxruens thought itunsafe to give the Parks and Ferries Committee too much money.(Laughter).The motion was carried.NOTICR OF MOTION.Ald.McCorp presented a notice of motion for a Committee, to consist of Ald.McCord, Laurent, Hood, Beauchamp, and Farrell, to report on a plan, so that a suitable drill-shed be given to the volunteers.THB PRINTING CONTRACT AGAIN, The City Clerk then read the following letter :\u2014 To the Hon.J.L.Beaudry, Mayor of Montreal : Drar Sir, \u2014Being informed that Bessrs.Louis Perrault & Co.declined to accept the contract for the printing and stationery required the Corporation, on the terms voted by the City Council on the 23rd day of May last, we beg To inform the City Council, through you, that we are prepared to enter into a contract in accordance with our tender now before the Corporation, for the term of twelve months.As we understand that our tender was rejected in consequence of & misapprehension as to the rate given for the payer required by the Engineering Department, we now beg to state that our tender quoted the rate per roll, and nok per yard, as it was misconstrued by the City Hall Committee, and we are prepared to furnish it at such rate, or (if the Council prefer) to abandon any claim whatever to furnisu the paper of this description which may be required by the Engineering Department.; reuding the decision of the Council, we are prepared in the meantime to execute the work on the terms specified in our tender.Your obedient servants, JouN LoviLL & Sox.Montreal, 4th June, 1881.UTILIZING THE PRISONERS INCARCERATED IN THE GAOL.On motion of Ald.ALLagp, the 29th Order of the Day was taken up.Ald.ArLarp moved, seconded by Ald.Browx, that a Special Committee, composed of Ald.Grenier, Stephens, Laurent, Dono- van, J.C.Wilson, the mover and seconder, 8ills immediately after the judgment was § be appointea to consider the best means to] be adopted to benefit by the work of the to pay during their incarceration.Carried.: THE ORDERS OF THE DAY.Ald.StepEaNs moved, seconded by Ald.FARRELL, that on call of the orders of the day, all orders shall be struck from the list, which are not pressed on by the mover or a delay asked for by members representing the mover.He said there were at present 30 items on the orders et the day, and he did not think there were 15 serious ones.The motion was carried.MAJOR MILLS\u2019 OFFER OP $20,000.On motion of Ald.STEPHENS, the 236th Order of the Day was taken up.The report from the Finance Committee, recommending the acceptance of Major Mills\u2019 offer of $20,000 as a bread fund for the poor, be accepted, provided Major Mills would accept interest at the rate of four per cent.Ald.StepHENS moved, seconded by Ald: Donovan, that the report of the Finance Committee, now before the Council, be adopted.\u2018The mover said he only moved the adoption of the report as a matter of duty, as Chairman of the Finance Committee.He spoke at some length against the adoption of the report.A Municipal Corporation was not a body which could administrate charity.If they accept this vffer it would involve a Distribution Committee, which would entail a great deal of trouble.Ald.Brown said Major Mills would ap- peint parties to divide the bread.At this point a letter was read from Major Mills, stating that he expected the Corporation to give the current rate of interest on the $20,000.Ald.STEPHENS said that the resuit of their accepting the offer would be that they would receive complaints that 100 loaves had been distributed in St.James\u2019 Ward, and nene in St.Ann\u2019s Ward.Ald.McCorp said they did not question the charitable qualities of Major Mills, but he did not think they could be the distributors of that money.Major Mills\u2019 object was undoubtedly to get a solvent body to take charge of the fund.They should gratefully acknowledge his munificence and decline to accept the offer.Ald.ALLARD moved in amendment, seconded by Ald.Brown, that whilst we acknowledge the benevolence of Major Mills, this Council is of opinion that it is not witkin the province of the Corporation to be the recipient of such a charitable trust, and that consequently Major Mills\u2019 offer be respectfully declined.The amendment was carried, Ald.Laurent dissenting.The Council then adjourned.DEATH OF JUDGE PECK, OF CHIC- eee re From late Chieago papers we learn of the death in that city of Judge Ebenezer Peck, of the Cuurt ot Claims.Mr.Peck wasa native of Sherbrooke, Province of Quebec, and had many friendsin Montreal.He settled in Chicago in 1835, and was seventy- six years of age at thetime of his death.Mr.Peck was for some years a member of the House of Representatives, and was also a personal friend of President Lincoln, who appointed him a Judge of the Court of Claims of the United States, and in the discharge of the duties of that high station he showed great industry, profound legal learning and unswerving fidelity.At a meeting of the Chicago Bar on the 30th ult, some eloquent tributes were paid to the memory oi the deceased Judge, and elaborate resolutions of condolence passed.Judge Peck always entertained a warm feeling for the land of his birth, and Canadians visiting or residing in Chicago always found in him a trusty friend.THE QUEEN OF THE COUNTY, BY THE AUTHOR OF \u201c MARGARET AND HER BRIDESMAIDS,\u2019 \u201cTHREE W VES,\u201d &c., &c.CHAPTER XIV.\u2014(Continued).\u201cOld Mr.Oates had died soon after Harrg Chambellan\u2019s departure ; the farmer's property descended to the sons, and Mary was left entirely dependent on her brothers.Harry Chambellauw\u2019s letters had entirely ceased ; no communication of any kind had been received from him for many months, when the eldest brother chanced to see his name gazetted as colonel in a scrap of old newspaper ; the same paper announced the return of his regiment.The paper was two months old.Mary's health and spirits had both been dropping under the pressure of anxiety and disappointment.The brothers consulted together, and without telling Mary anything, they wrote to Colonel Chambellan, asking the reason of his silence, and telling him of their sister's failing health, The father of Colonel Chambellan was dead ; Harry had entered on his fortune, he was living in a round of fashionable society, more courted than ever, and daily finding his promise to Mary a heavier burden and à greater bore.He had not announced his return to Mary, though he intended to do so, but he wished to give him- \u2018self \u2018a8 long a day\u2019 as possible.\u201cT'he letter from Mary's brothers did not make him more willing or desirous of per- corming his promise, but it made him feel ashamed of his neglect : so he wrote back an answer to say that Le intended to act as be- fame a man of honour.He wrote & toler ably affectionate letter to Mary, which he enclosed, bidding her expect him as soon as lie could obtain leave of absence.Mary\u2019s spirits revived under this kind letter, and of course she forgave him, and the brothers were pacified for the time.But when three weeks elapeed, and Colonel Chambelian neither followed his promise nor wrote again, they began to understand they were trifled with.The elder brother said nothing to his sister, but made a journey to London, where Colonel Chambellan then was ; found him at his lodgings, and demanded satisfaction, with the intimation that the younger brother weuld claim the same right when the first affair was terminated.\u201cThis proceeding neither dismayed nor displeased Colonel Chambellan ; he admired the spirit of it, and told Mary's brother, with great heartiness, that he would be charmed to give both him and his brother the meet ing he desired, but that he bad a previous engagement to marry their sister, of which he wished to acquit himself fire$, as otherwise circunistances might occur to prevent it.He should afterwards be quite at their service, as it was his fixed intention to quit his bride at the church door, never to see her again.\u201cThe brothers lcoked upon this assertion as & mere prétext to veil his yielding to compulsion, and they agreed to say nothing about it to taeir sister.Colonel Chambellan requested that the marriage day night be fixed.A liberal settlement was drawn up by his solicitor, which he signed, and sent down to the bride's fumily.Mary\u2019s brothers would not allow her to draw back, or to re- moustrate, they were determined that the affair should be carried out.\u201cOn the day appointed, Mary and her brothers repaired to church.A travelling chariot and four liorses stood at the door.Ou entering, they found Colonel Chambellan pointing out to the friend who accompanied him the monuments belonging to Mary's fainily.The clergyman stood within the railings in his robes, and the clerk stood outside.\u201cAs soou as Mary and her brothers entered Colonel Chambellan took his place at the altar, and the ceremony began at once.As soon a8 it was concluded, the bridegroom bowed gracefully to all present.He said-\u2014 \u2018You are all here witnessess that 1 have performed my engagement\u2019 \u2018Then, without even looking at bis bride, he quitted the church, accompanied by his friena, entered the carriage that was in waiting, and drove rapidly away.Mary was carried senseless from the church, and for several weeks lay dangerously ill.\u201d Here Mr.Mallerdean paused and looked at me.I could not speak, for though I felt very indignant at Colonel Ckambellan, still { thought Mary ought to have released him from his engagemeny, even though it should have broken her heart; and thought her brothers had been almost as tyrannical as Colonel Chambellan, and bad been cruel to put her in such a position.Mr.Mallerdean turned to Bissy, aud said\u2014 «Well, Miss Courtney, what do you think of my story ?\u201d \u201cIs it ended, sir ?\u201d said Sissy.\u201cNo, only half-way through ; but it is a halting-place, and I.would like to know what you would have done in her place ?, \u201cI really do not know,\u2019 said Sissy, demurely.«I think I would rather not judge of Mary until we know the end.\u201d \u201cMost judicious of ladies, you speak like the Queen of Sheba, with the wisdom of Solomon in addition to her own.To wait for the end before passing judgment is wisdom for all ages.\u201d \u201cWell, now, Peter, pray proceed,\u201d said Lord Oram.\u201cl am impatient.Did the brothers follow \u2018him, and bring him back, or did they appeal to the Lord Chancellor, or what?Damme, if I had lived then, I would have called the fellow out aud married Mary myself.\u201cMary herself thought there was something to be said for Colonel Chambellan.When she began to recover, a great change had taken place in her.The real strength of her character began to assert itself.She made no complaint, she did not assume her husband's name, but called herselt Mrs.Oates.The settlement was returned to Chambellan\u2019s lawyer, with an intimation that it.would never be claimed.She pacified i \\ Her melancholy and depression had givea place to a steady determination of pur- her husband stood before

she determined to «In those days the education bestowed on women was very limited, but Mary fancied that all gentlewoman moving in good society were well informed.Her first step was to obtain some elementary books from the master ofa boys\u2019 school in York, and she began with undoubting simplicity to try to instruct herself in history and geography, and all the branches of information which she fancied every lady of her husband's acquaintance knew.This effort brought its own reward.A thirst for information was aroused in her mind ; she had few advantages but her energy and steadfastness sarmounted all obstacles.\u201d \u201cShe must have been a woman of great abilities,\u201d observed Lady Oram.\u201cShe was a remarkable woman in every way,\u201d resumed Peter ; \u201cthe very insult which had seemed to condemn her to a faded and joyless existence, was transformed into a source of life and fruitfulness, by the wite humility with which she accepted it.\u201cYes,\u201d rejcined Lady Oram, \u201cshe had a noble object in view,.and it purified her, unconsciously to herself, fron: all the bitterness of wounded vanity.\u201d \u201cA great sorrow nobly borne is a great dignity.Do you think we may turn all our sorrows into nobleness, even when the sorrow is the result of our own faults or mistakes ?\u201d I ventured to ask.\u201cYes, my dear, those especially, for it is not very hard to bear the sorrow that comes to us direct, as it were, from the hand of the Almighty God, and which we could neither avert nor flee from ; it must be a stubborn heart indeed to rebel against what issent to us; it is more difficult to find patience with the ills we bring upon ourselves\u2014to take up our own share of blame and shame\u2014to bear it humbly, and to iry to work it out.\u201d \u201cBut the consequences last so long,\u201d said Sissy ; \u201care they, can they, ever be worked out?\u201d \u201cYes, if they are honestly encountered | and patiently borne.A mistake is mortal, | like all other things\u2014and even a mistake ! that seems the most fatal of all, and likely to last a lifetime, as in Mary\u2019s marriage; yot ee that when she had worked out her own share ot the error, her life became bet ter and richer than it had ever been before, from what Peter calls her \u2018wise humility! But, Peter, that is not the end, go on, and do not let us moralise, for it is bedtime already.\u201d \u201cWhilst Mary was thus endeavouring to redeem her time, her husband was trying te forget that he was married.He exchanged into a regiment ordered abroad, and after some time passed in active service-\u2014therewas always a war going on somewhere in those days\u2014he returned to England and quitted the army, He resided partly in London\u2019 and partly in Bath, seidom visiting the estates in Essex and Sussex, but making himself remarkable for his brilliant extravagances, which I need not specity.His name occurs in some of the scandalous chronicles of the time, and the:e isa portrait of him vis-a-vis to a beautiful fine lady of the period, with a very high bead-dress, in a volume of an o:d magazine I have at home.He was very handsome.Ten years had passed over.Mary was nearly thirty, but in the matured and still beautiful woman few could have recognised the forsaken girl of nineteen.\u201cAbout that time the cousin, whose marriage was the first occasion of her meeting with her Lusband, was ordered to Bath for her health.She entreated Mary to go with her, and after some persuasion Mary consented.It was a long journey, and, in those days, a very formidable one.They found very pleasant lodgings, and were to remain some time.With some difficulty Mary was persuaded to go into society, and she occasionally accompanied her cousin to the assemblies, which I nced not tell you were the height of all that was fushion- able.When Mrs.Oates, as she persisted in cal~ ling herself, and her cousin, arrived at Bath, Colonel Chambellan was absent on some law business.He expected to be absent several weeks; but it was cither concluded sooner than he expected, or delayed till another time ; anyway he returned to Bath quite suddenly, and found nothing prepared for his reception.He could not stand the forlorn discomfort in which he found everything ia his lodging, and so he dressed in a very bad humour, and went to the assembly.He was walking through the rooms in an irritable, ill-used frame of mind, and was proceeding to the card room, when a voice struck his ear which startled him.He turned suddenly, and saw a dignified, beautiful woman, who reminded him of some one he had seen before.\u201cShe turned away on perceiving him, It was Mary, who had recognized her husband, and scarcely able to stand, she took her cousin's arm, and reached the nearest seat.Colonel Chambellan forgot everything «lse in his impatience to discover who the lady was, and he went hastily to the Master of the Ceremonies, desiring to be introduced.\u201cEither he was not precise in his description, or the Master of the Ceremonies, being only a mortal man, blundered; but instead of giving the name ot Mary, he gave that of Mary's cousin.This mistake gave Mary courage.She exerted herself to please him.Once again, Mary's manners worked théir spell ; he begged permission to follow up the acquaintance, and to wait on her the next morning.Permission being granted, he attended Mary and her cousin to their sedan chairs.Tho next morning, long before the usual hour of visiting, he was at her door, and of course obtained admittance.Her resemblance to the woman he had once 80 passionately loved\u2014\u2014then so cruely hated ~whom he had married and deserted\u2014was more striking than on the previous evening.Mary's agitation was equal to his own.«His impetuous appeal was answered.Overwhelmed with shame aud repentance, but at the same time very happy, he entreated his wife's forgiveness.Mary had for years dreamed and hoped for some true termination.Mary had not only won back her husband, but regained with tenfold intensity the love which had once bcen herg\u2014re- gained it never to lose it more! «They quitted Bath, and returned to Colonel Chambellan\u2019s family seat in Sussex where they continued to reside.They had one son, an only child, who died when he Was fifteen, and this was the only grief that overshadowed their happiness.They died within a few weeks of each other, and on his death, for he was the survivor, the estates came into our branch of the family.\u201d When Mr.Mallerdean ceased to speak, Lord Oram started from the long slumber in which he had indulged, exclaiming, with his customary expletive\u2014\u201cBless my soul, I was nearly asleep!

about $400,000 better than for the year ended April, 1880.But, looking at the General Statement of BANK OF MONTREAL } Montreal, 30th April, 1881.The PRESIDENT then moved, seconded by Dr: G.W.Campers, \u201c That the report of the Directors now read, be adopted and printed for distribution amongst the Shareholders,\u201d and added that the report having been read there was nothing further left for him to say than to congratulate the Shareholders upon the condition of the Bank, and to wish it large and continued prosperity.Having said that he would ask Mr.Smithers, the Geueral Manager, to say a few words to the inecting.Mr.SmirHErs, the General Manager of the Bank, then addressed the meeting.He said that he did not think there was a great deal to be said, for the year had been generally a good one, and they met MONTREAL, June 6.gentain Montreal April 27 100 The supply of Hay on the market to- | reduce the dividend or the Rest, and hav- day was hardly up to the requirements of | ing

forced upon them « policy the new Board would take in that then come before the Share | retirement of its \u201cPresident.They knew holders with a reduced dividend, | what his character in his business relations but he was happy to say that | were, and many of them could speak better profits were in round figures $400,000 more than in the year ending April, 1880, and it was worthy of remark that the dividend in that year was only maintained by taking $500,000 from the Rest.It was also worthy of remark that the profits this year were the largest that the bank has made since the year 1876.It was true that larger dividends had been paid in those years, but it was only rendered possible by the fact that there was a larger surplus by which the Directors felt themselves able to pay them.It should be explained, also, that during those years whilst the net profits were smaller the gross earnings were very much larger, the requirements of the bad and doubtful debts were so large, and, these of course, had to be met, Whilst it was good for the bank to make profits, it was better still for it to avoid losses.It was te be hoped that now we had touched bottom that the Bank would be able to give better returns to its shareholders.They had only paid a dividend of four per cent.for the first half-year, because they could not tell what their profits might be for the second and more important part of the year.He did not, of course, know what respect ; whether they would adopt the system of dividing a small dividend in the first half year, and then give as large a one at the end of the year as the profits would admit of.They had been able to give to the shareholders of the Bank two-half yearly dividends of four per cent.and a bonus of two, making ten per cent., aud also to have the very handsome surplus of $200,000, more than was brought forward last year, besides writing off a sum of $50,000 on the Bank premises account.He believed that the bad and doubtful debts had been written off as carefully as possible.During his connection with the Bank they had been scrutinised as carefully as possible, as he had described to them at the last annual meeting.As they had careful collections and reliable balance-sheets, they might be assured that the business ot the Bank was never in a better position than it was then.Last year they were able to pay a dividend, of dollars, and this year they were able to report an increase of two millions more, which must, unquestionably, be of very great benefit to the Bank.With reference of Directors considered that it was necessary to make an addition to the By-laws of the Bank, and a resolution on that subject would be proposed.Mr.ALrrèp Browx, \u201cthat the following By-law be, and enacted ger or other officer of the Bank shall be was not going to inflict another speech upon them, but he must say for himself and the other officers of the bank, that thev thanked the shareholders very gratefully for the resolution.It had been thought desirable that this custom should be dispensed with, but the} officers of the bank were glad that such a resolution should be passed.Since the bank haa been prosperous the officers had had some more substantial acknowledgement, but still they recognized and were grateful for the thanks of the shareholders.The MaNaGER oF THE CHicaGo BrancH also replied.He said that it was unnecessary for him to say more than had been said by Mr.Smithers, or to refer to the kind way in which they had recognized the services of their officers.They were glad that the shareholders should so recognize their services.The PRESIDENT mentioned that the Board Mr.Perr REDPATH moved, seconded by the the the same is hereby, shareholders, to General Manaby wit: In case elected a Director and become President, he shall be entitled to receive, wh'le he holds that office and devotes his time and | attention exclusively to the interests of the bank, to the same annual amount that he previously received as salary, and the same may be taken from the funds of the bank, in addition to the sum set apart by By-law 9 as remuneration for the services of the Directors.This resolution was carried nem.con.Mr.MaoraE, Q.C., then moved that the ballot now open for the election of Directors be kept open until three o'clock, unless fifteen minutes elapse without a vote being cast, when it shall bé closed, and until that time, and for that purpose only this meeting be continued.This resolution also was carried.to sever his connection with the Bank, since he had had more responsitilities than he could well bear.He had made a promise to Mr.Smithers that he would stay from Saturdayopened down but reacted as sharply as they declined on account of less favourable for through prevailed which promises business.quo ations for Wheat are more or less which place it ranges at from 20 to 25 per cent, whilst in all the other producing localities it is generally estimated at from 10 to 15 per cent, in the above mentioned district a large number of planters have found it more advantageous to sell their cane than grinding it on their own account.PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.MONTREAL, June 6.The Flour trade ruled dull, without any appreciable change from Saturday.Buyers were not willing operators and holders would not make further concessions.Superior Extra is worth about $5.45, but a

General- Manager, had placed before them that day was sufficient proof of the ability and the admirable manner in which he had administered the affairs of the Bank.No thing could speak better than the state ment they heard from him, but it was necessary that the General Manager should be supported by the other officers of the Bauk, and no one, he believed, would admit more readily than Mr.Smithers that in that respect he had been ably supported not only by the officers in Canada but in other parts of the world, where the bank transacted business.Both in Canada, in the United States, and in England, the officers of the bank had performed their duties well, and had sustained its prestige, wherever they had been established.Having said so much, he had nothing further to say, excepting to refer to the loss that the bank had sustained by the on tho: e matters than he could.this year, but that their business had had they had heard read pointed out that the The Hon.Txomsë Ryan seconded

purchases could be made.\u201d Havana, May 27 \u2014(per Mail)\u2014Buyers having generally continued to show the eageruess previously reported for the acquisition of the parcels of all classes and desirable qualities brought forward, the market has ruled very active and strong at quotations, holders even succeeding in some cases to obtain a fraction more; this circumstance having induced the majority of sellers to reject ruling offers, the bulk of sales has remained smaller than might have been expected, judging from the ac- .tive prevailing demand, and prices quoted below must accordingly be considered as nominal, on account of the strong upward tendency which is being noticed at the close.Owing to the beneficial influence of the late rains, which seem to have been general, the appearance of the fields bas greatly improved, and the cane for the next crop, for the safety of which great fears were entertained, is now secured te- yond all doubt.The most important de-

but take the proved and notorious political scandals of the last quarter of a century in Canada, and apportion them between parties, and it is easy to see on which side the preponderance lies.From such a performance as that of the Conservative M.P.who went to the Penitentiary for contriving that the whole Albany Directory should vote in his favour through the \u2018\u2018 double shuffle\u201d up to the great culminating fraud of the Pacific scandal and back again to Mr.Paquet\u2019s $14,000, including such little goes as Mr.W.Macdougal\u2019s attempts to rob the Montreal Mining Com pany of its property and his brokers or their margins, we shall find the great haunts of fraud in Conservative quarters.Nor is the respective manner of the two parties in dealing with the charges of wrong when they come up less charac: teristic.As in the Pacific scandal and the Paquet affair, the attempt is always to get rid of the inquiry by ¢ Burking\u201d it.The charges against Liberals, on the contrary, have usually been met at once, ag in the two cases we have already alluded to, by the most straightforward denials.SOMETHING ABOUT EVICTIONS.As in many other cases which largely interest mankind or important portions of it, the solution of the Irish question would be rendered more easy if those who undertake to advise and otherwise meddle with it would be guided more by truthfulness and c mmon sense, and less by sensationalisms and passion.Even the passion for humanity may be pushed so far, when nct guided by discretion, as to become mischievous, of which history affords numberless examples.This re flection occurred to us recently, on reading an account of a dinner given to Mr.Redpath, an American journalist, who has been in Ireland, and who has written and spoken much about the misery of the peasantry and the wickedness of English laws, to which he imputes that misery.There can be no doubt about the misery of & portion of the peasantry of Ireland, nor can there be any question that in past times, when it was the fashion for all dominant peoples and races to tyrannize over subject peoples and races, the British people were dominant and the Irish sulb- ect.If the Irish had been dominant and the British subject, the oppression would have come from the other direction.So far as it is possible to make reparation for the past, however, it is the duty of Linglishmen to endeavour to do whatever in them lies, without new injustice, to atone for by-gone wrongs.Ignorance and selfishness will, of course, stand in the way, as they always do of reforms; but whatever can be done by law to cure the evil which law has inflicted ought to be accomplished.But, admitting all this, what are we to think of sueh speeches as those of Mr.Redpath, on the occasion in question, about the Irish Land League?If he had not been carried away by the fanaticism of benevolence, must he not have remembered that he was addressing an audience living under laws which were, in substance, identical with those he was denouncing, and yet who, far from considering themselves to be oppressed, boast of their freedom ?The great point made just now against the Irish Land laws is the power of eviction for non-payment of rent.But let Mr.Redpath hire a farm in New York State, and we shall be very much surprised if he does not find himself turned out, in case of nonpayment of rent, long before he has got the length of what is called in Ireland the \u2018\u2018 hanging gale,\u201d or to the end of the credit allowed the tenant by custom in some parts of the country.It is enough to ask the question whether a tenant in the United States can insist on keeping property without paying rent, let the nonpayment arise {from misfortune or fraud, in order to show that, by whatever name\u2014 eviction or otherwise\u2014the owner of property must have means to regain possession.Let us come nearer home.The .pen Seminary of Montreal has always enjoyed the reputation of being a liberal landlord ; but in cases where it has leased parts of its domain, 18 there any one who supposes that the tenant would be suffered to go on year after year without payment of rent, and yet remain in possession of the property ?No doubt that might be done as an act of charity in particular cascs, but an act of charity is not an act to be enforced by law.We come back, therefore, to the proposition with which we started, that the outcries against the law which permits eviction in Ireland are absurd in the mouths of men who would be very much astonished if any one proposed to prevent evictions under the same circumstances in the State of New York or in Canada.So far as we can see, the difference between Ireland and America in this respect is mainly this \u2014that in America the defaulter goes quietly\u2014in Ireland he resists and callson his neighbours to help him in his resistance, and, perhaps, shoots his landlord at last.What really makes the superiority of the position of such few Americans and Cavadians as prefer to hire the land of others rather than to buy, is that here the landlord is often puzzled to find tenants, while there the would-be tenant is puzzled to find land which he can lease.It is the comparative plenty of land, not the differ ence in laws, which makes the difference in the condition of the people ; and it may safely be said that in whatever respect the laws differ from the American is in favour, of the tenant.Give in Ireland the same anxiety to get occupants for land, which prevails in America, and the whole problem would be solved at once.This, however, is only one of the difficulties which arise from a merely sensational view of things.The misery of certain classes is undoubted ; the demand for any measure which can ameliorate their lot is crying; but, unfortunately, there 18 reason to fear that the misfortune of these classes is often used to excuse, in other classes, acts of sheer fraud and robbery.There is always a difficulty in getting at the real truth in times of excitement, and we, of course, do not vouch for the following facts; but it was stated with what seemed to be full authority in the House of Commons.The case of au evicted tenant, subsequently arrested under the Coercion Act for violent demonstrations against the payment of rent, came up for discussion there.He was, according to first showing, a vietim to the cruelty of landlords, and to the law of eviction.In fact it turned out that he had rented sixteen Irish acres for £18 15s.per annum ; but he had sub-let the half of it for £22 10s.The victim of oppression, himself, was eighteen months in arrears for rent when evicted ; but he had made his eub-tenant pay two years in advance.It is things \u2018like this which newspaper correspondents and tourists in search of a sensation do not see, though the wretchedness of men trying to support families on plots of one or two acres of barren soil and in a too Lumid climate is obvious to all.Mr.Redpath compared disadvantageously the position of these people, and 1t is to be feared only too justly, with that of the former negro slave, But he forgets that, at least, no one exer- | cises any physical restraint to retain these people in their abject condition.On the contrary, many landlords, whether they are or are not as liberal as they ought to be, are only too glad to contribute means to enable the tenants to leave, and to emigrate to places where their labour will give them a living many times better than the cultivation of their so-called farms, even if they had the fee simple for nothing.Small obligations are great to little people ; but a rent of £1, £2 or £3 per annum, even in the West of Ireland, as we have often pointed out, cannot make the difference between starvation and the decent maintenance of a family.While we desire, therefore, every just and sound amendment of the Land Laws iu Ireland, every possible restraint on the cruel exescise even of legal right, we cannot but see that no such amendmen\u2019 will be adequate to lift a large class out of their misery.It is hard to complain of the mistakes of people who suffer ço much, and who have so little means of forming a sound judgment even as to their own affairs.Besides, there is much that is respectable and amiable in the desire to cling to the old sod.But what would the world be to-day if everybody bad been actuated by that feeling ?It may safely be said, we think, that there will be no general agricultural comfort in Ireland until the people themselves learn, as they are fast learning, that it is as great folly to try to make a living out of an insufficient farm, as it is to expect to keep a cow on too little grass.If the popular advisers were to turn their attention more earnestly to that view of the subject, they would not make so much noise; but they * would effect much more good.THE SAME EVERY WHERE, Scandals appear to be the legitimate outcome of Conservative rule.The Conservatives have control of the Dominion Government, and are also in power in the Provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia.Hence we have the Whitehead-Mackintosh, the Muskeg, and various other scandals at Ottawa ; we have a Paquet scandal in Quebec, and a Seeton scandal in Nova Scotia.The latter seems to be about the most nefarious transaction of thelot.The Government of Nova Scotia, it appears, wished to run the Province in debt to the extent of some hundreds of thousands of dollars, on the plea that more money was required for roads and bridges.A Bill empowering the Government to borrow the amount said to be required was agreed to by the House of Assembly, but an adverse majority in the Legislative Council had to be overcome before the Bill could be passed iuto laws The Government were not to be baffied, however, and so they set to work to procure the passage of their Bill through the Council in & truly Conservative manner.A leading Government supporter named Joseph Seeton was engaged to approach a certain aged Legislative Councillor, named Mr.W.C.Whitman, of Annapolis, and offer him $1,000, provided he (Mr.Whitman) would resign, in order that Mr.Seeton might be appointed to the vacancy thus created.The facta of the case soon leaked out, and when the charge of attempted bribery was made by the Opposition, the Government organs made a general denial.Mr.Whitman then published a sworn declaration giving the particulars, and proving that not only did Mr.Seeton attempt to bribe him, but that in doing so Mr.Seeton was acting for the Provincial Government.The following is Mr.Whitman\u2019s sworn declaration :\u2014 I, William C.Whitman, of Lawrencetown, in the County of Annanpelis, Legislative Councillor for the Province of Nova Scotia, do solemnly declare that on or about the twenty-ninth day of March last past, Joseph Seeton, of Halifax, in the County and City of Halifax, merchant, called at my residence in Lawrencetown aforesaid, in the evening of the said day, and approached me by asking if my salary as Legislative Councillor was guaranteed to me during the remainder of my life, or so long as the present Government should continue in power, that 1 would resign amy position as said Legislative Councillor aforesaid.; After some further conversation the said Joseph Seeten left my house, and returned on the following morning, it beiug the thirtieth day of March last past.On the morning of the said thirtieth day of March the said Joseph Beeton again called at my house, and there and then offered me the sum of one thousand dollars if I would place my resignation as said Legislative Councillor in his hands, which I refused to do, adding that I never would be the recipient of money at tne sacrifice of henour.He further said that he had a team fen- gaged to convey him to the bank in Bridgetown, where he would draw the cash and Pay it over to me immediately upon his return to Lawrencetown aforesaid.~ He further told me that he had the assurance of the Government that immediately upon the receipt by them of a telegram from him, the said Joseph Seeton, informing them (the Government) that I had placed my resignation im the hands of the said Joseph Seeton, that he, the said Joseph Seeton, would be gazetted to fill the vacancy in the Legislative Council caused by my resignation.And I make this selemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the Act passed in the thirty- seventh year of Her Majesty's reign,intituled, \u201cAn Act for the Suppression of Voluntary and Extra Judicial Oaths.\u201d Wu.©.WHITMAN.This declaration was made before me at Lawrencetown, this twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one.WiLLiaM MILLER, J.P.The Tories were at a loss to know how to meet this statement.Mr, Whitman was à gentleman whose character was above reproach, and his veracity could not safely be impugned.What was to be done ?A statement was prepared for Mr.Seeton to sign, setting forth that Mr.Whitman must have misunderstood the purport of his conversation with Mr.Seeton, since no such offer of $1,000 had been made, as alleged by Mr.Whitman.Mr.Seeton signed this statement, but shrank from the ordeal of swearing to it.His conscientious scruples were t00 strong to suit the purposes of those whu engaged him to do their nefarious work.Mr.Seetoh\u2019s denial therefore, goes for nothing.The whole transaction, as we have before remarked, is quite in keeping with the antecedents of the Conservative party in other parts of the Dominion, and is no worse than the \u201c trade \u201d by which the new President of the Council hopes to obtain a seat in the House of Commons.Amore the guests at the Windsor are His Honour the Lieut.-Governor of Quebec and Madame Robitaille, Capt.Sheppard, A.D.C., Lord Elphinstone, the Master of Eiphinstone, and Mr.M.McLeod, Q.C., of Charlottetown, P.E.L EE ECR FUNERAL OF THE LATE JOSEPH MACKAY.Yesterday afternoon ¢ Kildonan Hall,\u201d on Sherbrooke street, was filled with a large number of citizens to attend the funeral of the late Joseph Mackay.The funeral cortege left the residence at \u201c3.30 p.m.and proceeded to Crescent Street Church, where the funeral service was held.The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers:\u2014Dr Dawson, CMG;

for, be it remembered that the weal of our City and common country is specially enhanced by the sterling integrity of our merchants.Having gained a large competency, Mr.Mackay, years ago, wisely relaxed his commercial toils and speut much time in benevolent occupations, and in visiting many parts of the world, from which he gathered, with discriminating taste, works of art to beautify and adorn his home\u2014that home in which so many of us, and so many from far beyond our city and country, have enjoyed his genial, large-hearted Lospitality.In his numerous and extensive travels he made the acquaintance and gained the warm esteem of many distinguished mig- sionaries, ministers and laymen, and became more and more deeply interested in Christian work as carried on in the great mission fields of the world.At the same time his patriotism, his love of Canada and her institutions, as his adopted country, was strong and practical.Hence, by common consent, our public journalists have rightly placed him in the foremo.t rank of our philanthropists.He was a true and an unostentatious friend of the poor.With generous liberality he aided our local benevolent institutions, and extended his benefactions far beyond our city.But the crowning act or his beneficence was the founding, at his sole expense, during his lifetime, of the \u201c Mackay Institute for the Deaf and Dumb.\u201d As President of that institution, he had for several years the satisfaction of directing its work, gathering round it many warm friends, and seeing its success.His name is embalmed for generations to come in connection with this work, and already grateful thanks have arisen to God from the hearts of many affiicted parents and children, for his Chrisclike deed in breaking the solitude of their being, and letting in upon their souls the saving light of the gospel.He esteemed very highly all instrumentalitics designed to scatter the truth of God, and, therefore, took a deep interest in the work of the Bible Society, and of distinctive Missions and Mission Schools in this Province, as well as in the general Home and Foreign Mission work of the Church.Being fully persuaded of the necessity of a learned and godly ministry in order to the growth and stability of the .church, he was from the beginning a member of the Board of Munagement, and a most liberal supporter of the Presbyterian College, Montreal.He was one of the little company of enlightened and earnest-hearted men from our different congregations who first assembled to consider the propriety of establishing such an institution, and the results sinc: have more than justified the wisdom of their decision.Many of you know how much this church owed him throughout its entire history, For twenty years it has been my happiness to be associated with him in its fellowship ; but some of you can recall his connection with it for a longer period, for he joined Cote Street Church atit: formation, and cou- tinued to the last, with unwavering fidelity and attachment, to promote its success, both by his offerings and his works,having served in it as a Sunday School Teacher, a Deacon and an Elder.; terian by enlightened conviction and uni- by the Rev À B Mackay, Rev Dr Jenkins.MONTREAL HERALD AND \u2014 x formly true in the church of his choice, he \u2018 embraced in his sympathies, as all true ; whole household of faith by whatever name known.And now, without presuming to invade the sacred precincts of domestic life, suffice it to say that the Christian purity, kindness, and affection of the deceased, as well as his devout and humble piety, can only be fully understood and appreciated by those who were the happy inmates of his home.It is enough for us, however, to look upon and to cherish with becoming respect the memory of an unblemished character sustained before the church and amid the scenes of commercial lite during fifty years.And above all, let us not forget that the true strength and beauty of that character, whether exhibited in business or in specific religious service, arose from faith in God, faith in Jesus Christ, reliance upon the un- tailing efficacy of prayer, which was his solace to the end, and upon the power of the Holy Ghost to guide and to sanctify.The testimony of his whole life, briefly epitomized, is this, that true consecration to God and his service may be united with diligence in business; that men should \u201c seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness;\u201d that « godliness is profitable unto all things having the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.\u201d And well may we say at the close of his long life, ¢ Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.\u201d Thus it was with our departed brother, and thus may it be with us all, through the infinite grace of God our Saviour.Amen.At the conclusion of the sermon, Rev.Dr.Jenkins offered prayer, and the service was closed with the benediction by the Rev.A.B.Mackay.The runeral cortege then left the church, and proceeded to Mount Royal Cemetery.In connection with the funeral of our late esteemed citizen, it is a remarkable coincidence that four years ago, yesterday, the cor- ner-stone of the Mackay Institution for Deaf-Mutes, of which he was the founder, was laid, A BISHOP'S COLLEGE.The annuai corporation meeting of the University took place in the College Hall, Lennoxville, on Thursday, at which were present His Lordship the Bishop of Quebec, R.W.Heneker, D.C.L., Chancellor ;

but how short-sighted are mortals, For by this very circumstance, in all probability, an undue confidence and feeling of security were caused, which prevented that regard for those precautions which are essential to safety.o one could have thought it possible that a vessel on such a stream as this, which could only be navigated with great difficulty in consequence of its extreme shallowness in many parts, could be wrecked and sunk.\u201d re SARNIA.NEW OIL WELL OPENED.SARNIA, Ont, June 6\u2014Oil has been struck on the property of Mr.Alexander MacGregor on the old MacGregor Road, within a ghort distance of the eastern Loundary of che town.A party of young en conceived the idea of sinking a well onthe MacGregor property a few weeks ago.An experienced driller was brought from Petrolia, and work wert on until Friday last, when salt water was reached at a depth of 630 feet.A pump was put in on Saturday, and this morning pumping was commenced with the gratifying result that oil was produced in sufficient quantities to demonstrate that the petroleum deposits extend to this neighbourhood.A great deal of interest has been awakened by the strike, and there is every probability that a number of test wells will be sunk in this locality, and the value of the territory determined beyond doubt.The lowest estimate of the production of this well by experienced men 18 four barrels per day, while others are of opision that it is double that.HALIFAX, \u2014 THE COTTON FACTORY.HALIFAX, N.8., June 6 \u2014A meeting of the Provisional Directorate of the proposed mr re ER I ES MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, TU ESDAY, JUNE 7, 1861 and the Booth Mills at the same place, the York Mills at Saco and several others ;

CARLISTS GROWING TROUBLESOME, A New Aspirant for the Bulgarian Throne.NIHILIST CONSPIRATORS CAPTURED.\u2014 rm GREAT BRITAIN, THE MEININGEN COMPANY.Loxpoy, June 6.\u2014The Duke of Meiningen\u2019s Dramatic Company gave a performance of Juluis Cesar on Saturday afternoon, presumably in order to give London actors a chance to witness their performance.It is to be hoped that Mr.Irving and the other managers laid the lesson to heart, for most assuredly on their own boards they have never yet arrived at the pitch to which the Meiningen\u2019s have attained.Indeed, without State patronage, it is doubtful whether any English Company could be expected to do s0.The success of the Meiningen\u2019s proved far greater than was ever anticipated, and they have already demonstrated to this city how far behind the little Duchy of Saxe Meiningen is the great Metropolis of the world in dramatic mauners.American managers are endeavouring to negotiate with the Meiningen Company.SHAW LEFEVRE ON THE LAND BILL.LoNpox, June 6\u2014Speaking on the Irish Land Bill, at a meeting held in Liverpool, Mr.Shaw Lefevre said that the more the people discussed the Irish Land Bill, the more would they be persuaded that it was * just and necessary for Ireland, and that it was in the highest interest of the whole country that it should speedily pass into | law.The effect of the Bill was practically | to fix the peasantry of Ireland upon the soil which they had improved and cultivated, to give them security, and to facilitate the multiplication of ownerships among the occupiers of land in Ireland.The measure had been approved by an immense majority of the Irish members, and to reject such a measure in the Upper House would be an act of insanity and folly quite incredible.For his own part, he looked forward to this Bill becoming law in all its essential features.He believed it would be a great} benefit to Ireland, and would remedy existing evils.IRELAND.BURNED IN EFFIGY.DuBLIN, June 6.\u2014Thus far the day bas passed here without disturbance, but the state of feeling is extremely critical and grave trouble is apprehended.The Government continues arrests and evictions.A process-server was burned in effigy at Kenmare last night, and animals belonging to the Magistrate at Kilragarna, who had incurred popular displeasure by issuing writs of ejectment, have been mutilated.HEALY CHALLENGES FORSTER, At a Land meeting at Swords yesterday Healy said he was there chiefly to reply to Mr.Forster\u2019s challenge to him to repeat in Ireland what he said in Parliament.He intimated his readiness to fight a duel with Mr.Forster in some country where the code of honour prevails.The Coldstream Guards have returned to Dublin disgusted with their eviction tour.Some evictions at New Pallas are solely family quarrels.ATTACK ON A TAVERN.LIMERICK, June 6.\u2014Last evening a party of ruffians attacked the nouse of a publican named Higgins, who fired at .the gang, wounding three, one severely.A BISHOP ON THE LAND BILL.Loxpox, June 6, \u2014The Right Rev.Thos.Nulty, Bishop of Meath, replying to an address from the Painstown Land League, eaid the Land Bill had splendid principles.He deprecated the agitation against the payment of all rent, and said he had received a letter from an American priest, who stated that he had organized branches of the League in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, among five million people, Add Dublin RIBBON LODGES ORGANIZED.A correspondent says it is stated that in most of the disturbed districts Ribbon Lodges are in active operation, and to these Lodges is to be traced the actual car rying out of the system of agrarian terrorism, FURTHER ARRB:STS.Farrell, Chairman of the Town Commissioners of Mullingar, County Westmeath, and President of the Branch of the Land League, and also Tuite, the Secretary of the Branch, have been arrested under the Coercion Act.A constabulary circnlar has been issued instructing County Inspectors in regard to the service of writs, with a view of furnishing protection for Sherif\u2019 ageuts, &c.Only one man was shot in the fight with the bailiff at Bally Brophy on Sunday.The affair was not entirely of an agrarian character.FRANCE.MICHEL\u2019S REPUBLICANISM.Paris, June 6.\u2014Robert Michel publiches a long letter addressed to Prince Napoleon in Le Universe, this morning, in which he reaffirms the sincerity of his own conversion to Republicanism and reproaches the Prince for his unpatriotic defence of Italian interests against those of France in the Tunis affair.GREAT PICTURE SALE.At the sale of the double collection there was presented such an assemblage of relics of great historical personages as has been rarely seen, and competition was assionately keen.The ¢ Flambeaux of urenne \u201d brought 40,000 francs ; à garniture de chemin, by Clodion, 80,000 francs ; one table brought 38,000 francs, and à little table of the Dauphin 18,000 francs.It is not known that any American has been among the competitors for the relics of royalty which, as things go, 1s rather surprising.GERMANY.THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.BerLIN, June 6.\u2014A curious atory is told here.A horse, while crossing the Electric Railway, having set his hoof upon the rail, was instantly thrown down, so strong was the current, and another horse, having also touched the railway with his shod hoof, received a shock which sent him galloping off in wild terror.RUSSIA.THE CZAR AND THE NIHILISTS.Sr.PETERSBURG, June 6\u2014The Czar\u2019s Palace at Galschina is filled with soldiery and police.Everyone having business at the Palace is subjected to a vigorous search whenever they have occasion to go there.The Court will soon remove to Peterhof, which has a small port at the mouth of the Neva.Four light-ships will be anchored there, and no other vessels be allowed to approach.Two yachts will always be ready to convey the Czar to and from St.Petersburg, accompanied ou either side by a torpedo boat.With reference to the plot just detected to kill the Czar, it is said that a carpenter overheard the Nihilists plotting in a room and informed the police, who secreted themselves the next day behind the furniture.The Nihilists again met, and, after a six hours\u2019 confer ence, resolved to kill the Czar.The police thereupon suddenly sprang up, and captured all the conspirators.The excitement against the Jews here has abated, but not entirely disappeared.SPAIN, \u2014 SUPPRESSING CARLISM.MaDRID, June 6.\u2014The active electoral preparations of the Carlists in the north and east Provinces, and the recent communications passed between the pretender and his agents in those districts and in Madrid, have decided the Government to order the authorities to watch their movements.The party has shown increased boldness since its local success in the Provincia} and Municipal elections, The army of occupation, under Marshal Quesada, 30,000 strong, will be kept up in the Basque Provinces as the Cabinet possesses information of a powerful organization of Carlists under pretext of the elections.It seems that these intrigues were denounced by the Spanish Consuls in France and by the civil authorities of the north of Spain since the month of March.The Cabinet is quite determined to repress very severely any agitation, and it would be backed by the public opinion of the Conservatives and iberals against Carlism.ANNEXATION OF MOROCCO THREATENED.The Government is determined to inaugurate a more active policy in Morocco.The object of Sagasta\u2019s policy will be to convince the Sultan of Morocce that British diplomacy cannot shield Morocco from Spanish intervention, because Sagasta has received assurances from the Governments of France, Germany and Austria that any extension of the influence of Spain in Morocco would be met with no opposition.England alone is expected to oppose Spanish aspirations which aim at a protectorship.When the Cortes meets in September the speech from the throne will be very energelic regarding Spanish nterests in North Africe.TURKEY, THE ARREST OF PALMER.Loxpox, June 6.\u2014Warhawk Palmers who has been arrested iL Constantinople on suspicion of being the chief conspirator in the plot, writes, on May 27th, that he warned the Grand Vizier in 1868 thata plot existed to assassinate the Sultan, and that some persons privy to the plot are now under arrest.Warhawk was then requested, for his own safety, to quit Constantinople, which he did, but returned in 1877.Wsrhawk states that, for some days past, every sort of inducement has been offered, and threat made, to procure his silence on the affair of 1868.There are in London, he says, abundant papers, which will threw every light on the subject.It is stated that one of Palmer\u2019s reasons for returning to Turkey was to have the affair of 1868 officially re-exam- ined.A few hours after the publication of the letter on the subject, written by Palmer to a local papér, he was arrested BULGARIA THE NATIONAL SENTIMENT.Sorra, June 6\u2014Ex-Minister Karaveloff has received an address from 170 students of Agram University declaring that Bulgarians must employ all means, and even give their lives, to preserve the rights they have acquired.Several Servian deputies have telegraphed similar sentiments.The inhabitauts of the district of Berequatz have expelled the Government Commissioner.A SERIOUS SITUATION.The principality will be proclaimed in a state of seige to-morrow.The Procurator of Widdin bas been arrested.The situa~ tion is very grave.\u2019 A RIVAL FOR THE THRONE.VIENNA, June 6.\u2014It is stated that the Committee of Moderate Liberals of Bulgaria failing to effect a compromise with Prince Alexander have resolved, in certain contingencies, to put forward Prince Waldemar of Denmark for the throne.ARMS FROM RUSSIA.Lonpox, June 6.\u2014A Berlin despatch says 40 military officers and 20,000 rifles are expected in Sofia from Russia.AN OUTBREAK EXPECTED.A despatch from St.Petersburg says reports come from Sofia of the intended concentration of troops at Sistova, and a declaration of a state of siege is apprehended, but they are hardly credited.SOUTH AMERICA.AFFAIRS IN PERU.Lima, May 18.\u2014The Peruvian Congress which was convened on the 15th inst., at Chorillos, failed to assume a constitutional form for want of a quorum.The Chilian Commander may, therefore, form a Government of his own ; the only thin to prevent it is the report that it is decide to recognize Calderon\u2019s Provincial Government, which would be a fatal blow to the pretensions of Pieroto and others of the old regime.It is reported that the Peruvian officers of the new regime on the way south to assume control of the Departments which pronounced adhesion to Calderon were captured by the Montoneros of Solar and executed.Itis also reported that Calderon despatched 400 men to thrash the Prefect of Huaraz into subjection, UNITED STATES, THE SENATORSHIPS.Ausany, N.Y., June 6.\u2014First ballot :\u2014 Jacobs, 25; Conkling, 26; Cornell, 16; Wheeler, 14; Lapham, 3; Rogers, 13; Bradley, 1; Folger, 1; Tremaine,

is \u201cas to how an\u2019adjournment can be earried, ro hope being entertained of breaking the deadlock and effecting an election.The attendance of members this morning was rather slim.MARRYING A CHINAMAN, CHEYENNE, W.T., June 6.\u2014A case of intermarriage between a Chinaman, Lee Chiu, and a white woman named Mrs.Eva Lee, is attracting much attention.The Statutes of Wyoming forbids such intermarriage, and the couple had the ceremony performed in Denver, Col., the laws there not prohibiting it.Lee Chin and his wife have been indicted for miscegenation.The Chinese Consul at Denver, under the direction of the Chinese Ambassador at Washington, became interested in behalf of his countryman, and will contest the case in the Courts.A full statement of the case is being prepared for the Chinese Ambassador to present to the State Department.PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.QUEBEC, June 6.No Committees but that on Private Bills met to-day.It reported the twe Montreal Bills, that to confirm the

bridge which they have constructed upon the Northern Branch of the River Yamaska, Hon.Mr.Mercier.The Bill respecting the Laval University, and for the purpose of in.reasing the number of its Chairs in Arts and other Faculties within the limits of the Province of Quebec, was held over until to-morrow, at the request of Mr.Taillon, who opposes it.QUESTIONS.Mr.Laberge asked whether the plans and book of reference of the cadastre of the County of Chateauguay have been completed, and, if so, why have they not been entered in the Registry Office of the said county ?Mr.Flynn replied that they were completed, but the Department of Crown Lands had not yet had time to collate them.æMy, Meikle asked, is the Consolidated Municipal Code in English, and which the Government last session said was under consideration, now ready for distribution, and if not, when will it be ?Hon.Mr.Loranger said so many amendments were offered to the Code tLat the Government deferred ail proceeding in the matter until Parliament had decided upon them.Mr.Chapleau, in reply to Mr.Lafontaine, said there had been no official correspondence with the Dominion Government on the question of the sale or lense of the Q, M., O.& O.Railway.A private memorial had been presented by a delegation of members of the Government.The Government would not make public tLe tenders received for the sala or lease of the road until they decided which, if any, they would accept.The House then went into Committee on the Bill concerning the Bar of the Province, and, on rising, reported progress.Mr.Mathieu complained Yof the inconvenience caused by important Committees sitting at the seme time, and hoped it would be rer adied.= in town for the Lieut.-Governor.The House then went into Committee of Supply, and, after a short discussion between Messrs.Flynn and Langelier, adopted the only remaining items of the estimates: \u2014 Registration Service, $41,960; Surveys, $35,000; and General Expenditures of Crown Lands, $50,766.The House took recess at 4.20 p.m.AFTER RECESS The House was occupied all the evening in concurrence on ths report of the Committee of the Whole on the estimates.On the items for Public Works, Mr.Chapleau said, in reply to Mr.Joly, that some of them were for an increase of wages to the labourers on the Provincial Buildings ordered by the late Government during the labour riots in this city.Mr.Joly explained that he had made this arraugement with the express understanding with the contractor that nothing extra should be claimed therefor from the Government.On the item $4,475 for heating apparatus at Spencer Wood, Mr.Irvine thought Spencer Wood too expensive for the Lieutenant-Governor, and was sure the present occupant would be glad to be relieved from the responsibility of maintaining it.He would not care to see it sold, but it might be placed at the disposal of the Dominion Government for the summer residence of the Governor-General, and a more suitable residence obtained He made the suggestion apart from any consideration whatever, and mentioned à rumor that the lawn in front of Spencer Wood had been ploughed up and planted with potatoes.Mr.Joly said he had suggested ploughing up the lawn to get rid of the moss, etc.Mr.Chapleau acknowled the heavy cost of Spencer Wood, but said most ef it was incurred in receiving distinguished visitors to Quebec, and would be expected and approved by the Province, wherever the Governor's residence might be.On the items for the repairs of Court Houses and Gaols, Messrs.Irvine, Ross and Langelier dwelt upon the disgraceful condition of the Quebec Court House.A large number of items were then concurred in.On the items for Reformatories, Mr.Irvine dwelt upon the importance of the training in these institutions.Mr.Gagnon cowplained of the cost of the Sherbrooke Reformatotry, and wished the inmates removed to that in Montreal.Mr.Robertson said Sherbrooke was for Protestants lads,and Montreal for Cathol.cs.A scheme was afoot for the establishment in Montreal of an Industrial School for Protestant boys, and he would be glad to have the boys from Sherbrooke then removed.The cost would be materially reduced, for it was much dearer per head to maintain a few inmates than a larger number.On the item for inspection of Public Offices, Mr.Irvine strongly complained of the Government's action in ignoring the reports of Inspectors against certain officials.It was disgraceful that the offence of appropriating public monies should be overlooked in public employes.A few items under the head of Public Instruction were concurred in, those relating to School Inspectors being held over for further debate.JACK FROST'S RETURN.DESTRUCTION TO VEGETATION ALL OVER CANADA.this section of country was visited by one of the heaviest summer frosts since 1834, doing great damage to all crops.Farmers from Nottawasaga Township bring in reports that last night's frost has been very disastrous to the potato crop, and in many places completely destroyed it; also, the clover and spring wheat was badly damaged.Reports from Osprey Township are anything but favourable.Faimers say nothing of the kind was ever before experienced at this season.Vegetation that yesterday looked so favourable for a good yield is to-day almost ruined.The weather this evening is very cold, with indications of another heavy frost to-night.KingsToN, June 6.\u2014There was a very heavy frost in this vicinity last night.BARRIE, June 6.\u2014There was a very heavy frost last night, so much so that on the high

for an appropriation of $500 and costs, to pay the claim of W.R.Smith for compensation for damages alleged to have been caused to his property on Craig street during the construction of the Craig street main sewer.Ald.SreraENS moved the adoption of the report.Considerable discussion ensued on the subject.Ald.Doxovax moved in amendment, scconded by Ald.AuLarp, that the further consideration of the report now before the Council be dererred until the next meeting, and that in the meantime the written opinion of the City Attorney be obtained on the present position of the question.The amendment was unanimously adopted.A report was read from the Finance Committee, recommending that proceedings be taken against the Grand Trunk Railway Company, for the amount of the city\u2019s claim against the Company, in connection with the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway.The consideration of the report was deferred until next meeting, as the City- Attorney was preparing an opinion on the subject.The WaterCommittee reported favourably on the petition of the Permanent Exhibition Committee to be supplied with water from the upper reservoir.The report stated that Pine avenue would have to

St.Augustin street?Ald.LAURENT Raid the matter would be taken up at the meeting of the Committee on Wednesday.THR AMENBMENTS TO THE CITY CHARTER.The Finance Committee reported favourably on the following amendment to the City Charter :\u2014 « And whereas it is in the interest of the City that certain provisions of the Charter of the City, 37 Vic,, chap.51, and more particularly Sections 112, 114, 116 and 117 be modified as to the constitutions of a ginking fund for the repayment of the different loans therein mentioned,and of any further loan the said city may be authorized to make, it is enacted that hercafter the city shall Lave power and authority to purchase ana employ for the purposes of the said Sinking Fund such of its own securities as may be procurable at or under par, and for louns to be cffected after the passing of these presents, the city is authorized, if it deems it advisable, to repay any such loans by annual drawings.\u201d Ald.StepHENs moved, seconded by Ald.LAURENT, that the said draft of amendment be approved of, and that the same Le embodied in the Bill of amendments now before the Legislature.He briefly explained that the object of the amendment was for the Finance Committee to be prepared for the future, and iu order that they might be able to meet these loans by annual drawings, gradually reducing the principal until the whole would be paid off.THRE COMMITTEES.It was moved by Ald.FAIRBAIRN, seconded byAld.DoxovaN, and resolved : 1st.That the Standing Committees of this Council shall hereafter hold stated meetings, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, on such days of each week as may be fixed by the Council.2nd.That the stated meetings of Standing Committees shall be held at four o'clock p.m.3rd.That the stated meetings of the Standing Committees shall be published occasionally in the newspapers.Ald.STEPHENS moved, seconded by Ald.ALLARD, that the resolution be referred to the Board of Chairmen for report.Carried.PUBLIC BATH.Ald.Kenssoy moved, seconded by Ald.JEANNOTTE, that the advisability of erecting a public path on the river front, be referred to the Finance and Health Committees for report.He said that a free public bath was very much needed by the citizens.He knew of a promising young man who had been drowned while in the act of takinga bath in adangerous part of the river near the Island.If they had had a free public bath this would have been avoided.Then, too, it would be useful for the men working on the coal ships.Ald.Taos.WiLsoN\u2014How many will go there ?Ald.Kenvany\u2014'Fhe more the better.Ald.THos.WiLsoN\u2014Who will pay for it ?Ald.Kenngpy-\u2014The city.Ald.Tros.Winsox\u2014It will cost $5,000 a year.Ald.Kennspy said he would rather do that than pay $5,000 for the boys on the Island.Ald.\u2018los.W1L80N replied that they could get à free bath on the Island for five cents.Ald.BrzpHENS thought the matter should only be referred to the Health Committee.It would go to the Finance Committee as a à matter of course.Ald.'Tuos.WizsoN said if they would give him the money, his Committee would give them a free public bath.Ald.Srxruens thought itunsafe to give the Parks and Ferries Committee too much money.(Laughter).The motion was carried.NOTICR OF MOTION.Ald.McCorp presented a notice of motion for a Committee, to consist of Ald.McCord, Laurent, Hood, Beauchamp, and Farrell, to report on a plan, so that a suitable drill-shed be given to the volunteers.THB PRINTING CONTRACT AGAIN, The City Clerk then read the following letter :\u2014 To the Hon.J.L.Beaudry, Mayor of Montreal : Drar Sir, \u2014Being informed that Bessrs.Louis Perrault & Co.declined to accept the contract for the printing and stationery required the Corporation, on the terms voted by the City Council on the 23rd day of May last, we beg To inform the City Council, through you, that we are prepared to enter into a contract in accordance with our tender now before the Corporation, for the term of twelve months.As we understand that our tender was rejected in consequence of & misapprehension as to the rate given for the payer required by the Engineering Department, we now beg to state that our tender quoted the rate per roll, and nok per yard, as it was misconstrued by the City Hall Committee, and we are prepared to furnish it at such rate, or (if the Council prefer) to abandon any claim whatever to furnisu the paper of this description which may be required by the Engineering Department.; reuding the decision of the Council, we are prepared in the meantime to execute the work on the terms specified in our tender.Your obedient servants, JouN LoviLL & Sox.Montreal, 4th June, 1881.UTILIZING THE PRISONERS INCARCERATED IN THE GAOL.On motion of Ald.ALLagp, the 29th Order of the Day was taken up.Ald.ArLarp moved, seconded by Ald.Browx, that a Special Committee, composed of Ald.Grenier, Stephens, Laurent, Dono- van, J.C.Wilson, the mover and seconder, 8ills immediately after the judgment was § be appointea to consider the best means to] be adopted to benefit by the work of the to pay during their incarceration.Carried.: THE ORDERS OF THE DAY.Ald.StepEaNs moved, seconded by Ald.FARRELL, that on call of the orders of the day, all orders shall be struck from the list, which are not pressed on by the mover or a delay asked for by members representing the mover.He said there were at present 30 items on the orders et the day, and he did not think there were 15 serious ones.The motion was carried.MAJOR MILLS\u2019 OFFER OP $20,000.On motion of Ald.STEPHENS, the 236th Order of the Day was taken up.The report from the Finance Committee, recommending the acceptance of Major Mills\u2019 offer of $20,000 as a bread fund for the poor, be accepted, provided Major Mills would accept interest at the rate of four per cent.Ald.StepHENS moved, seconded by Ald: Donovan, that the report of the Finance Committee, now before the Council, be adopted.\u2018The mover said he only moved the adoption of the report as a matter of duty, as Chairman of the Finance Committee.He spoke at some length against the adoption of the report.A Municipal Corporation was not a body which could administrate charity.If they accept this vffer it would involve a Distribution Committee, which would entail a great deal of trouble.Ald.Brown said Major Mills would ap- peint parties to divide the bread.At this point a letter was read from Major Mills, stating that he expected the Corporation to give the current rate of interest on the $20,000.Ald.STEPHENS said that the resuit of their accepting the offer would be that they would receive complaints that 100 loaves had been distributed in St.James\u2019 Ward, and nene in St.Ann\u2019s Ward.Ald.McCorp said they did not question the charitable qualities of Major Mills, but he did not think they could be the distributors of that money.Major Mills\u2019 object was undoubtedly to get a solvent body to take charge of the fund.They should gratefully acknowledge his munificence and decline to accept the offer.Ald.ALLARD moved in amendment, seconded by Ald.Brown, that whilst we acknowledge the benevolence of Major Mills, this Council is of opinion that it is not witkin the province of the Corporation to be the recipient of such a charitable trust, and that consequently Major Mills\u2019 offer be respectfully declined.The amendment was carried, Ald.Laurent dissenting.The Council then adjourned.DEATH OF JUDGE PECK, OF CHIC- eee re From late Chieago papers we learn of the death in that city of Judge Ebenezer Peck, of the Cuurt ot Claims.Mr.Peck wasa native of Sherbrooke, Province of Quebec, and had many friendsin Montreal.He settled in Chicago in 1835, and was seventy- six years of age at thetime of his death.Mr.Peck was for some years a member of the House of Representatives, and was also a personal friend of President Lincoln, who appointed him a Judge of the Court of Claims of the United States, and in the discharge of the duties of that high station he showed great industry, profound legal learning and unswerving fidelity.At a meeting of the Chicago Bar on the 30th ult, some eloquent tributes were paid to the memory oi the deceased Judge, and elaborate resolutions of condolence passed.Judge Peck always entertained a warm feeling for the land of his birth, and Canadians visiting or residing in Chicago always found in him a trusty friend.THE QUEEN OF THE COUNTY, BY THE AUTHOR OF \u201c MARGARET AND HER BRIDESMAIDS,\u2019 \u201cTHREE W VES,\u201d &c., &c.CHAPTER XIV.\u2014(Continued).\u201cOld Mr.Oates had died soon after Harrg Chambellan\u2019s departure ; the farmer's property descended to the sons, and Mary was left entirely dependent on her brothers.Harry Chambellauw\u2019s letters had entirely ceased ; no communication of any kind had been received from him for many months, when the eldest brother chanced to see his name gazetted as colonel in a scrap of old newspaper ; the same paper announced the return of his regiment.The paper was two months old.Mary's health and spirits had both been dropping under the pressure of anxiety and disappointment.The brothers consulted together, and without telling Mary anything, they wrote to Colonel Chambellan, asking the reason of his silence, and telling him of their sister's failing health, The father of Colonel Chambellan was dead ; Harry had entered on his fortune, he was living in a round of fashionable society, more courted than ever, and daily finding his promise to Mary a heavier burden and à greater bore.He had not announced his return to Mary, though he intended to do so, but he wished to give him- \u2018self \u2018a8 long a day\u2019 as possible.\u201cT'he letter from Mary's brothers did not make him more willing or desirous of per- corming his promise, but it made him feel ashamed of his neglect : so he wrote back an answer to say that Le intended to act as be- fame a man of honour.He wrote & toler ably affectionate letter to Mary, which he enclosed, bidding her expect him as soon as lie could obtain leave of absence.Mary\u2019s spirits revived under this kind letter, and of course she forgave him, and the brothers were pacified for the time.But when three weeks elapeed, and Colonel Chambelian neither followed his promise nor wrote again, they began to understand they were trifled with.The elder brother said nothing to his sister, but made a journey to London, where Colonel Chambellan then was ; found him at his lodgings, and demanded satisfaction, with the intimation that the younger brother weuld claim the same right when the first affair was terminated.\u201cThis proceeding neither dismayed nor displeased Colonel Chambellan ; he admired the spirit of it, and told Mary's brother, with great heartiness, that he would be charmed to give both him and his brother the meet ing he desired, but that he bad a previous engagement to marry their sister, of which he wished to acquit himself fire$, as otherwise circunistances might occur to prevent it.He should afterwards be quite at their service, as it was his fixed intention to quit his bride at the church door, never to see her again.\u201cThe brothers lcoked upon this assertion as & mere prétext to veil his yielding to compulsion, and they agreed to say nothing about it to taeir sister.Colonel Chambellan requested that the marriage day night be fixed.A liberal settlement was drawn up by his solicitor, which he signed, and sent down to the bride's fumily.Mary\u2019s brothers would not allow her to draw back, or to re- moustrate, they were determined that the affair should be carried out.\u201cOn the day appointed, Mary and her brothers repaired to church.A travelling chariot and four liorses stood at the door.Ou entering, they found Colonel Chambellan pointing out to the friend who accompanied him the monuments belonging to Mary's fainily.The clergyman stood within the railings in his robes, and the clerk stood outside.\u201cAs soou as Mary and her brothers entered Colonel Chambellan took his place at the altar, and the ceremony began at once.As soon a8 it was concluded, the bridegroom bowed gracefully to all present.He said-\u2014 \u2018You are all here witnessess that 1 have performed my engagement\u2019 \u2018Then, without even looking at bis bride, he quitted the church, accompanied by his friena, entered the carriage that was in waiting, and drove rapidly away.Mary was carried senseless from the church, and for several weeks lay dangerously ill.\u201d Here Mr.Mallerdean paused and looked at me.I could not speak, for though I felt very indignant at Colonel Ckambellan, still { thought Mary ought to have released him from his engagemeny, even though it should have broken her heart; and thought her brothers had been almost as tyrannical as Colonel Chambellan, and bad been cruel to put her in such a position.Mr.Mallerdean turned to Bissy, aud said\u2014 «Well, Miss Courtney, what do you think of my story ?\u201d \u201cIs it ended, sir ?\u201d said Sissy.\u201cNo, only half-way through ; but it is a halting-place, and I.would like to know what you would have done in her place ?, \u201cI really do not know,\u2019 said Sissy, demurely.«I think I would rather not judge of Mary until we know the end.\u201d \u201cMost judicious of ladies, you speak like the Queen of Sheba, with the wisdom of Solomon in addition to her own.To wait for the end before passing judgment is wisdom for all ages.\u201d \u201cWell, now, Peter, pray proceed,\u201d said Lord Oram.\u201cl am impatient.Did the brothers follow \u2018him, and bring him back, or did they appeal to the Lord Chancellor, or what?Damme, if I had lived then, I would have called the fellow out aud married Mary myself.\u201cMary herself thought there was something to be said for Colonel Chambellan.When she began to recover, a great change had taken place in her.The real strength of her character began to assert itself.She made no complaint, she did not assume her husband's name, but called herselt Mrs.Oates.The settlement was returned to Chambellan\u2019s lawyer, with an intimation that it.would never be claimed.She pacified i \\ Her melancholy and depression had givea place to a steady determination of pur- her husband stood before

she determined to «In those days the education bestowed on women was very limited, but Mary fancied that all gentlewoman moving in good society were well informed.Her first step was to obtain some elementary books from the master ofa boys\u2019 school in York, and she began with undoubting simplicity to try to instruct herself in history and geography, and all the branches of information which she fancied every lady of her husband's acquaintance knew.This effort brought its own reward.A thirst for information was aroused in her mind ; she had few advantages but her energy and steadfastness sarmounted all obstacles.\u201d \u201cShe must have been a woman of great abilities,\u201d observed Lady Oram.\u201cShe was a remarkable woman in every way,\u201d resumed Peter ; \u201cthe very insult which had seemed to condemn her to a faded and joyless existence, was transformed into a source of life and fruitfulness, by the wite humility with which she accepted it.\u201cYes,\u201d rejcined Lady Oram, \u201cshe had a noble object in view,.and it purified her, unconsciously to herself, fron: all the bitterness of wounded vanity.\u201d \u201cA great sorrow nobly borne is a great dignity.Do you think we may turn all our sorrows into nobleness, even when the sorrow is the result of our own faults or mistakes ?\u201d I ventured to ask.\u201cYes, my dear, those especially, for it is not very hard to bear the sorrow that comes to us direct, as it were, from the hand of the Almighty God, and which we could neither avert nor flee from ; it must be a stubborn heart indeed to rebel against what issent to us; it is more difficult to find patience with the ills we bring upon ourselves\u2014to take up our own share of blame and shame\u2014to bear it humbly, and to iry to work it out.\u201d \u201cBut the consequences last so long,\u201d said Sissy ; \u201care they, can they, ever be worked out?\u201d \u201cYes, if they are honestly encountered | and patiently borne.A mistake is mortal, | like all other things\u2014and even a mistake ! that seems the most fatal of all, and likely to last a lifetime, as in Mary\u2019s marriage; yot ee that when she had worked out her own share ot the error, her life became bet ter and richer than it had ever been before, from what Peter calls her \u2018wise humility! But, Peter, that is not the end, go on, and do not let us moralise, for it is bedtime already.\u201d \u201cWhilst Mary was thus endeavouring to redeem her time, her husband was trying te forget that he was married.He exchanged into a regiment ordered abroad, and after some time passed in active service-\u2014therewas always a war going on somewhere in those days\u2014he returned to England and quitted the army, He resided partly in London\u2019 and partly in Bath, seidom visiting the estates in Essex and Sussex, but making himself remarkable for his brilliant extravagances, which I need not specity.His name occurs in some of the scandalous chronicles of the time, and the:e isa portrait of him vis-a-vis to a beautiful fine lady of the period, with a very high bead-dress, in a volume of an o:d magazine I have at home.He was very handsome.Ten years had passed over.Mary was nearly thirty, but in the matured and still beautiful woman few could have recognised the forsaken girl of nineteen.\u201cAbout that time the cousin, whose marriage was the first occasion of her meeting with her Lusband, was ordered to Bath for her health.She entreated Mary to go with her, and after some persuasion Mary consented.It was a long journey, and, in those days, a very formidable one.They found very pleasant lodgings, and were to remain some time.With some difficulty Mary was persuaded to go into society, and she occasionally accompanied her cousin to the assemblies, which I nced not tell you were the height of all that was fushion- able.When Mrs.Oates, as she persisted in cal~ ling herself, and her cousin, arrived at Bath, Colonel Chambellan was absent on some law business.He expected to be absent several weeks; but it was cither concluded sooner than he expected, or delayed till another time ; anyway he returned to Bath quite suddenly, and found nothing prepared for his reception.He could not stand the forlorn discomfort in which he found everything ia his lodging, and so he dressed in a very bad humour, and went to the assembly.He was walking through the rooms in an irritable, ill-used frame of mind, and was proceeding to the card room, when a voice struck his ear which startled him.He turned suddenly, and saw a dignified, beautiful woman, who reminded him of some one he had seen before.\u201cShe turned away on perceiving him, It was Mary, who had recognized her husband, and scarcely able to stand, she took her cousin's arm, and reached the nearest seat.Colonel Chambellan forgot everything «lse in his impatience to discover who the lady was, and he went hastily to the Master of the Ceremonies, desiring to be introduced.\u201cEither he was not precise in his description, or the Master of the Ceremonies, being only a mortal man, blundered; but instead of giving the name ot Mary, he gave that of Mary's cousin.This mistake gave Mary courage.She exerted herself to please him.Once again, Mary's manners worked théir spell ; he begged permission to follow up the acquaintance, and to wait on her the next morning.Permission being granted, he attended Mary and her cousin to their sedan chairs.Tho next morning, long before the usual hour of visiting, he was at her door, and of course obtained admittance.Her resemblance to the woman he had once 80 passionately loved\u2014\u2014then so cruely hated ~whom he had married and deserted\u2014was more striking than on the previous evening.Mary's agitation was equal to his own.«His impetuous appeal was answered.Overwhelmed with shame aud repentance, but at the same time very happy, he entreated his wife's forgiveness.Mary had for years dreamed and hoped for some true termination.Mary had not only won back her husband, but regained with tenfold intensity the love which had once bcen herg\u2014re- gained it never to lose it more! «They quitted Bath, and returned to Colonel Chambellan\u2019s family seat in Sussex where they continued to reside.They had one son, an only child, who died when he Was fifteen, and this was the only grief that overshadowed their happiness.They died within a few weeks of each other, and on his death, for he was the survivor, the estates came into our branch of the family.\u201d When Mr.Mallerdean ceased to speak, Lord Oram started from the long slumber in which he had indulged, exclaiming, with his customary expletive\u2014\u201cBless my soul, I was nearly asleep!
