reporter learns from sources undoubtedly well informed that an amount of work is being dome by prominent Government supporters which leave no doubt iu many minds and little in others that the general: elections will be sprung upon the country in September next.When men in confidential relation with the Government are devoting more than usual attention to work which generally directly precedes elections, it may, without drawing upon the imagination, be supposed that the situ ation is either one of gravity or emergency.Friends of the Opposition here consider that their yreparations are for an emergency, while not a few Government supporters are of opinion that the \u201cGovernment\u2019s hold upon the country is one very insecure.J.W.MruLER, the fugitive from justice from the United

8.8.*¢ Peruvian,\u201d in coming up the harbour with the smali-pox case, the health of the port not being endangered thereby.\"he facts are as follows§:\u2014 The *¢ Peruvian\u201d arrived in the harbour about 1.30 on Sunday morning, with every appearance of a south-easterly gale comingon.There was à case of smallpox on board, which from its first appear- anee, had been kept isolated in one of the ships hospitals forward and the patient was attended to by a friend a fellow-pas- senger who had had the disease.Captain Ritchie, knowing that there were no signs of disease amongst any of the other passengers, proceeded to the wharf instead of anchoring below a mile south of Georges Island as called for by the Quarantine regulations, and not considering it safe to keep his ship there at this season of the year with every appearance of bad weather coming on.Arriving at the wharf, strict quarantine was kept.No person being allowed on board until Dr.Wickwire arrived, excepting Dr.\u2018Moren who arrived first, being sent for under the impression that Dr.Wickwire was ill.The mails were landed, and the ship proceeded to stream, where she remained all Sunday, during the severe easterly gale, and snow-storm that prevailed.On Sunday evening, the small-pox patient and his attendant were conveyed by Dr.Wickwire to the hospital on Lawler Island.The « Peruvian,\u201d after the removal of the patient and attendant, weather having moderated, came to the wharf about midnight on Sunday, and through cabin and steerage passengers went forward by truin today.Had the \u2018\u201c Peruyian\u201d remained below on Sunday morning, it would have been some hcurs before communication could have been had with her, happening as it did at night, and the mails of all Canada would have been much delayed.Tee Dartmouth Town Council hae passed the draft of a Bill te enable the town to assess for $4,000 per annum to subsidize any Company undertaking to build the Dartmouth Branch

interviewed Mr.Justin McCarthy, who is resting at the Hotel du.Louvre on his way home from Egypt.He said that there wae no truth in the report that he intends to cease acting for Parnell as leader of the Land League party in Parliament.\u201c* At the same time,\u201d said Mr.McCarthy, \u201c\u2018 T understand that no leader at all is to be appointed in Parnell\u2019s place.I shall continue to aot as his lieutenant.\u201d The-correspondent asked Mr.McCarthy whether he approved of the no rent mau- ifesto put forward by the League, and whether he believed the aati-rent agitation would be effective?\u201c In principle and except in the last extremity,\u201d replied Mr.Mo@arthy, \u201cIam opposed to the anti-rent agitation, but the circumstances under Which the manifesto was signed were 80 exceptional, ih my opinion, as to justify it.I should have signed it, I think, had I been in England.Agitation has already been most effective.\u201d The correspondent asked whether any changes were decided upon in the tactics of the League party ?' *¢ None of importance,\u201d replied Mr.Mc- Carthy, \u2018\u201c but probably the obstruction policy will have to be dropped.We muster too few men to give it a chance ofsuccess.An amendment to the Queen's speech will doubtless be proposed by one of our party.Further than this, I do not know myself.\u201d RHETORIC OF THE RECESS.Sir Henry James, speaking at a Liberal demonstration at Barton-on-Trent, declared that the question of reform of the procedure ot the House of Commons must be judged not only by Parliament, but by the country, by whom freedom of discussion must ever be cherished as it deserved, but those who said the freedom of the country was endangered because they wished to do the real business, seemed rather to desire to embarrass than to assist.Sir William Harcourt, speaking at the same meeting, alluded to the same subject.He was not going to tell them any secrets, but the objects the Government aime at could not be controverted.They wanted that after a full and adequate diecassion the House of Commons should come to a particular decision on every measure submitted to them in such a reasonable time as to allow the business of the nation to be transacted.The House of Commons was not now allowed to come to a practical decision within a reasonable time, and, there fore the business of the nation was Lot allowed to be done.Mr.Broadhurst, M.P., at a dinner of the Amalgamated Engineers, spoke in favour of the reform of parliamentary procedure, saying it was a national disgrace that all the important Bjlls of last session were passed after one o*flock.He stated that Mr.Burt had takesgcharge of a Bill to amend the Employers\u2019 Liability Act, and urged that the Amalgamated Engineers should be represented in Parliament by their own Secretary.\\ Messrs.Gourley and Storey, the members for Sunderland, spoke on Saturday at a farmers\u2019 club dinner.Mr.Gourley expressed himselt in favour cf tenants being compensated for unexhausted improvements.Mr.Storey was in favour of elee- tive County Boards.Parliament, after all, could uot do much for the farmer in comparison to what it did for other branches of industry, but it could ensure to the farmer that he would get out of the soil what he put into it.IRELAND.Lixericx, February 7.\u2014A correspondent had an interview with Mr.Clifford Lloyd, special magistrate for the counties of Limerick and Clare, at his lodgings 1n Catherine street, in this city, Saturday.In reply to the question whether there was any truth in the report of the discovery of a vast conspiracy in the district over which he has military and police eontrol, he said :\u2014 \u2018There is nothing in this vast conspiracy story; it is an absurdity.The Fenian conspiracy, if yom choose so to term it, or organization such as itis, exists still, but I know of no mew conspiracy.The county Clare, however, is in a very bad state, and I am going at once to Ennis and thence to Milltown-Malbay, where a disgraceful murder was recently perpetrated.My district is, in fact, the very worst in Ireland.\u201d Correspondent\u2014We hear all sorts of rumours connected with this district in Dublin; among them one that a vessel recently landed with arms in the Shannon, Can you tell me if there is any truth in that ?Mr.Clifford Lloyd\u2014W hat if there were ?It would be of no consequence.You know how money is collected for this purpose from Irish maid servants and labourers in America.Well, I suppose, just 10 make the Fenian sympathizers there believe that they are doing something with the money, they send over some old rusty Enfield rifles, not worth three and sixpence apiece, ard thensome blackguard here comes to me and offers to show me or to get me to offer ten of those old things for £10.To this proposition I answer that they are not worth £10, and even if there were I would not pay the money.What does it matter?Let them use them if they dare., Correspondent\u2014Has anything come to light respecting the dynamite which was stolen from the magazine atBallinacurra ?Mr.Clifford Lloyd\u2014Nothing whatever to my knowledge.Even if I knew I could not let it out.They wrote to my landlady here and said they would blow her up if she did not give me notice to quit.These fellows evidently don\u2019t seem to like me.Tam sure l don\u2019t know why, as I am their best friend.If they break the law I have them arrested, and instead of having a field day in 8 Suinmons Court I warn them themselves on pain of arrest.Noman ean complain of the way he is treated by mie, and yet look here.Mr.Lloyd produced.a small slip of paper on which was written in a good clear hand a notice of * £10,000 reward for the corpse of Clifford Lloyd.CaPTAIN MoONLIGRT.\u201c\u2018 This was placarded in Sulla the other day,\u201d continued Mr.Lloyd.As I said, I am going into the county Clare, and I intend to see that the law is respected and enforced wherever I am.When Iam gone they can break the law if they like, but they soall not while I am alive,\u201d Cork, February 7.\u2014 The magistrate, after hearing the testimony of the informer Connell, committed 16 Moonlighters for trial.Three were remanded aad one discharged.H.Redmond, brother of a member of Parliament, was arrested at Ballyragget to-day under the Coercion Aet.Eleven percons

anything in the form of a Concordat, and were convinced that the Pope was sincerely desirous of | peace.AUSTRIA.PROGRESS OF THE BALKAN INSURRECTION.VIENNA, February 7.\u2014Both the Austrian and Hungarian delegations have now approved the grant for the suppression of tue Insurrection.Scorari, February 7.\u2014The insurgents have burned Cogniza, an important strategic position between Serajevo

been numerous arrests.Russian societies have been distributing funds in large amounts.RUSSIA.THE \u201c\u201c JEANNETTE\u201d CREW.Paris, February T.\u2014Lieut.Danenhower telegraphs from Irkoutsk that he has been ordered by the Secretary ot the Nawy to proceed to the United States with his nine invalid men.He expects to start on Saturday.\u2019 The names of the men going with him are boatswain John Kohl, seamen Herbert Luch, Henry Wilson, Frank Manson, John Lauterbeck, Ludwig Neros and Raymond Newcomb, Chinese Long Sing and the Indian Aniquin.The condition of all the men has improved since their arrival at Irkoutsk.To these returning men will probably be added Jack Coll if he is pronounced fit to travel.His mind is affected and he is violent at times, but there are hopes of his recovery.THE GOVERNMENT AND THE JEWS.ST.Pererssvre, February 7 \u2014 The Government is about to publish a statement showing that the Government promptly and vigorously dealt with the anti-Jewish movement, and is disposed to take precautions to prevent a recurrence of the offences.SCENE IN A SYNAGOGUE, On the Jewish fast day here the Chief Rabbi preached a sermon in which he said the recent persecutions the Jews endured were a just punishment inflicted upon them for neglecting God\u2019s commands and becoming too wordly and sensual.As these words were spoken some students entered the Synagogue and shouted * Down with.the hypocrite.\u201d The congregation arose in great terror, fearing a riot, but a posse of police compelled the students to withdraw.STRAINED RELATIONS WITH GERMANY, Gen.Von Schweinitz, German Ambassador, in obedience to Bismarck\u2019s instructions, has asked Von (iiers, Secretary of the Foreign Office, for an explanation in regard to the recent speech of Gen.Sko- beleff favouring the Panslavist agitation in Bosnia.Von Giers replied that he knew nothing of any speech made by Skobeletf.Bismarck then despatched a second telegram to Von Schweinitz, who informed Von Giers that he night have to announce to the Czar his recall if Russia appeared to support the agitation against Austria inthe press, or even showed toleration thereof.Von Schweinitz was

FATE SEALED.WasuisoTox, February 7.\u2014 No one need imagine,\u201d said Dist.-Atty.Corkhill, \u201cthat Guitean will not hang on the 30th of June.He will.The anniversary of that fatal Saturday in July will find him under the dissecting knife.I hear that Scoville has deserted the case, and will file no bill of exceptions.Whether he does or does not, is à matter of no moment at all.The Court in banc will grant no new trial.It has practically passed already upon every point that could be presented in any possible bill of exceptions.Every word and every act of Judge Cox \u2018during the trial was the result of a conference with all his brethren of the bench.There is nothing to be decided now, and the assassin will never appear in a Courtroom again.His next appearance in public will be on the scaffold.\u201d FIGHT FOR A COUNTY SEAT.Sr.PAuL, February 7.\u2014Grant County, Dakota, is the scene of a county-seat contest that began at the fall election, was continued in the Courts, and has finally\u2019 resulted in tumult.The county records are held at Big Stone City, in defiance of an alleged judicial decision that Milbank was designated as the county-seat last November.À few days ago two of the County Commissioners tried to remove the records to Milvank, supported by a force of 200 or 300 armed citizens, but they were so stoutly resisted by a similar force raised at Big Stone that they failed in thejr attempt.A despatch from Milbank says :\u2014 The safe containing the records of the County Clerk and the Register of Deeds is held at Big Stone City by an armed mob.Reliable reports state that there are now fully 300 armed men in Big Stove and the vicinity, threatening to shoot any one attempting to remove the safe.They have regular pickets stationed in and around the town, day and night, who intercept every traveller coming from Milbank.Recruits have been received from all around the county.One hundred bales of hay have been turned into & barricade from which the old County Clerk\u2019s office can be easily covered with rifles.The Probate Judge, accompanied by.a Deputy Sheriff, visiled Big Stone yesterday and demanded the probate recorde.The request was defiantly refused by the armed men on guard at the door of the office.Several Indians have been obtained, armed with guns, and enlisted by the Big Stone people.It is feared, 1f another attempt at removal is made, there will be bloodshed.\u201d A DEFAULTING REGISTER.* Yankron, Dak., February 7.\u2014A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Chas.McCoy, charged with removing the bond register of Bonhomme County from the County records.The County bonded indebtedness is $40,000, being ten per ceut.interest.There is little to show for the expenditure of the money, and people are unable to ascertain for what or to whem the bonds have been issued.Me- Coy has been Régister of Deeds and Clerk of the Court,\\and has been prominent in political affairs.He endeavoured to float $17,000 worth of the notorious Douglas Co.warrants.MARINE INTELLIGENCE HALIFAX, February 7\u2014The fishing schooner King Fisher, McDonnough, master, of Boston, arrived here to-night from Lahave Banks, reports

Sullivan Declared the Winner After Eight Rounds- A BRUTAL EXHIBITION, Missmwsirpr Ci7y, February 7.\u2014At exaetly 2 minutes of 12 the men toed a scratch and shook hands.In the first round both men sparred cautiously for the opening.Ryan led with a right but fell short, catching in return a hot one from Sullivan\u2019s left on the face.The exchanges then became short and quick, and Sullivan finally knocked him down with a severe right-hander on the cheek.Time, 30 seconds.BECOND ROUND.Sullivan at onde rushed to hie man and let go his left which caught Ryan on the jaw.Ryan closed with him and they wrestled for a fall which Ryan won, falling heavily on his oppenent.Tim\", 25 seconds.THIRD ROUND, The men came together with a rush, and Sullivin, after making three passes, knocked Ryan down with a terriblp right-hander oun the chest.Time, 4 seconds, FOURTH ROUND.The men sparred for, perhaps, a second ee two : both fointes, em fhen Sullivan went Hor Ryan s face, putting in a stinging blow square on his nob before they clused.The hugging then commenced aud continued until Ryan was forced into and upon the ropes, when he went to grass.Time, 20 seconds.THE FIFTH ROUND was a repetition of the above, both men closing and putting in their best licks, the attacks of both being confined to the face.Ryan succeeded in bringing Sullivan to his knees at the close.SIXTH ROUND.Sullivan came up smiling, but it was evident that Ryan was not oly suffering, but wassomewhat afraid ef his antagonist.Sullivan lost no time, but went in.Ryan, however, closed and got him across the buttock and downed him.THR SEVENTH ROUND was short.The men closed and fibbing was continued for a few seconds, when Ryan went to grass a wreck Sullivan came to his corner smiling.Ryan, however, had grit to come up for another round.RIGHTH ROUND.The men, on call of time, came up promptly.Ryan was decidedly weak, but made a gallant struggle.Sullivan fought him all over the ring and into the umpire\u2019s corner and over the ropes.Getting off the ropes he rallied, but went down on his knee and hand.A foui was looked for, but though Sullivan had his hand raised to strike, he restrained himself.Ryan rose, and both men were moving to corners when the seconds of each cried, \u201cGo for kim.\u201d The men, responding again, eame together.They closed and clinched, and after a short struggle both went down.Ryan and Sullivan were visited after they had gore to their quarters.Ryan waslying exhausted on a bed, badly disfigured about the face, his upper lip being cut through, and nose disfigured.He did not move, but lay panting.Stimulants were given him to restore him.He is terribly punished about the head.At the conclusion of the fight Sullivan ran to his quatters at a lively gait, and laughing.He laid down a while a little out of wind, but there was not a scratch on him.He chaited pleasantly with his friends.The fighting was sho:3, tsherp and decisive on Sullivan's part throughout, Ryan showing weariness after the first round.The pugilists did most of their training in New Orleans and on the line of the Mobile Railway.Ryan's heightis 6 feet 23 inches ; fighting weight, 190.Sullivan, 5 feet 10} ; weight, 175, trained condition.Charles L.Davies, of Chicago, represented the interests of Sullivan\u2019s backer, McDonald, and W.E.Harding represented Richard K.Knox, Ryan\u2019s backer.Among the prominent backers of Sullivan were James B.Kenan, and Ed.McEvoy, the Boston athlete, Joe Goss and Wm.Emmett, of Chicago.Ryan had a host of supporters, one delega- \u2018ion from Troy pooling $2,500, and laying their money on the Troj:n.The fight was for the heavy weight champioaship of Ameriea and a stake of $5,000, each combatant dep: siting half.Governor Lowery's proclamation was directed to all the Sheriffs ot the Gulf counties, ordering them at all hazards to stop the fizht and organize posses for the purpose.No Sheriff had appeared, and no fears of official interference were auy longer entertained when therin ,.was pitched, \u2018 BYAN'S CONDITION.Immediately after fthe fight, Ryan was visited by a well-known physician with the intention of giving him medical assistance if needed.His pulse was normal, and the ckief injuries cousisted of a welt on the left side of the neck, where he had been struck a terrible blow in the second rouad, and gashed lips and cut on the eye, together with considerable contusions about the body.After examination, the doctor stated that Ryan was suffering from hernia, snd must have been in great pain during the fight.He advised him to forgake the ring.Ryan stated that he intended giving up pugilism, as he did not think he was suited by nature for that kind of business.He said he considered Sullivan a born prizefighter, and a very formidable opponent in the ring.Regarding his defeat, Ryan spoke very calmly, admitting he had been fairly whipped, but at the same time stating that he was sick during the night, and partially disabled early in the action by falling on his truss.He said he suffered great pain, and felt in no condition to fight, and, but for the fact people would have considered him a coward, he would not have appeared in the ring under the circumstances.Johnny Roache, Ryan\u2019s trainer, and W.E.Harding, representative of his backer, said they considered the fight a fair one, and had no complaint to make regarding the result.Fox lost $8,500.Between $100,000 and $200,000 are supposed to have changed hands on the result.From the start Sullivan acted on the offensive, attackink his opponent with violence amounting almost to ferocity, breaking down Ryan\u2019s guards with his terrific blows, and following up the attack by clinching and wrestling.There was apparently but little science displayed, the rounds being short and sanguinary, ending in a fall or knock-down.This plan of attack could not have been carried out for any length of time; but Sullivan\u2019s friends relied for success upon his quick work.Sullivan and party took an excursion train and came to the city soon after the fight.Ryan, Roache and Harding came to the city to-night, and leave for home to-morrow.** BECAME SOUND AND WELL.\u201d HATCHER S STATION, Ga, Mar.27,1876.R.V.Prercx, M.D.: Dear Sir\u2014My wife who had been ill for over two years, and had tried many other medicines,

Register \u2018 I would have accepted your kind invitation to visit you in your new quarters with pleasure before this, had not my old enemy, Mr.Rheumatism, pounced on me so suddenly.He arrived last Friday, and, without stooping to send up his card, rushed in and grasped me by the hand with such a grip that in a few hours my hand and wrist were 80 badly swollen and painful that I felt as though one of Mr.Hatch's coal teams had run over me.Mr.Rheumatism has been a censtant visitor of mine for several years; always swells and puts on a great many aire and makes himself at home, devouring my substance and leaving me poor in flesh and pocket.Last winter he came and staid two months.I then made up my mind that the next time he came I'would change his diet, as he al ¥ays gobbled down everything set before him.I was somewhat at a loss what to feed him with, but finally concluded to give him three square meals a day of St.Jacobs Oil\u2014morning, noon and night.This fare he is disgusted with, and is packing up his trunk and wili leave by to-morrow or next day ; says he cannot stop any longer as he has pressing business elsewhere.He is a treacherous fellow, and I have no doubt he intends visiting some of our Salem friends ;\u2019 if he does, just give him the same fare that I did and he won't stop long.J.S.Le- FAYOUR.G Goulding&Sons 15 do; Hou-ton, F&co 2 |: Sreamship Notices.Societe Postale Francaise del\u2019 Antique CANADIAN AND BRAZILIAN DIRECT MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE, The new steamship TANCARVILLE, Capt.Masson, having been delayed at Rio de Juneiro, her sailing from the West India Wharf, Halifax, is POSTPONED till TUESDAY, the 28th FEBRUARY, 1882, for the West Indies and Brazil, touching at St.Thomas (W.I.)

enable him to resume, or continu his policy of governing the count through the representatives of this Province and otherwise.Of course, na certainty can be arrived at in the matter, for future affairs so often depend on circumstances which cannot be foreseen that we may go more or less astmy in our calculations.We do not think, however, that we are far out in our reckoning, but time alone can decide that point.There is one important fact we have lately become acquainted with which may greatly alter the state of parties in the Legislatures in the course of time.An official return of the votes polled at the last general election in this Provinee proves that of the 97,653 votes given on the occasion, 51,975 were in favour of the Conservative candidates, and 45,672 in favour of the Libaral candidates, or not far from an equal division of the constituencies.This enumeration is widely different from the \u201c corporal\u2019s guard\u201d of which the Liberal party was said by the Conservative press to consist throughout the Province, as will be seen when the people are again appealed to.In the recent Quebec elections, the Liberals were at a disadvantage in every respect, outside the cities in which their candidates met withmark- ed success.The only exception was Three Rivers, Sir Hector Langevin\u2019s late pocket-borough-\u2014purchased with a Judgeship\u2014and even there the Conservative triumph looked more like a defeat than a victory.In the rural districts, where the Liberals believed that the Chapleau Government were sure to have a majority, they virtually allowed the elections to go by default.In consequence of this belief their organization was very imperfect, and they were unprovided with funds to meet the ordinary and legitimate expenses in such cases.So the Conservative success is more apparent than real, and is likely to be only temporary.It should also be taken into account that the rural electors have often long distances to travel, and that as the Liberals were generally hopeless of securing a majority for the time being, large numbers of them did not appear at the polls to record their votes.But they will be better prepared another time.Wa may here explain that, in speaking of the Dominion Government, we and others are in the habit of considering the Federal Premier as the embodiment of his entire\u201d Cabinet, which he actually is, for the set of colleagues with whom he has surrounded himself are little more than mere tools whom he employs to do his work and go his messages.Sir John Macdonald, therefore, is the Government, and the Government is Sir John Macdonald.It is with him, then, that the Liberals have to do, and a dangerous opponent they have always found him, and are likely to find him for some time to come.He is certainly a tough customer to deal with, as he might say himself.For purselves we regard him in his public capacity only, and to that we shall confine ourselves in reviewing his acts either now or hereafter.That we do not approve of his political acts we need not state.We are not unwilling, however, to admit that he is desirous to advance the interests of Canada, according to his lights ; but we are convinced that he has done much harm in his day, from which the country might have been saved, had he pursued a wiser and more enlightened course.In the art of Government he is a century at least behind the age.He belongs to the old Walpole and Newcastle school in England, but whose principles Walpole would repudiate if he lived in the present day.He believes that the end excuses the means, whether the end aimed at be good or bad.The actors in public life may be divided into three classes, the statesman, the politician, and the party man.Sir John Macdonald comes chiefly, if not wholly, under the last o these categories.He can claim no righf to be considered a great statesinan, at rank to which his admirers would elevate him ; he can scarcely be regarded, if at all, as an able politician, but he is without an equal or a rival in this country as a party leader, and it is to that quality he owes the success that has marked his public career.That he is entitled to the praise, whatever it may amount to, of a masterly party manipulator and manager, cannot be well questioned, and we do not dispute his claim to the distinetion.The brief Parliamentary history of this country affords few examples of this species of public men, and we must look for them in countries older than ows.In England, one of the best known among them is the famous Harley, who praised by most of the great writers of that classic era, by Swift among the rest.Yet Macaulay declares that Harley was designed by nature for no higher position than that of a gentleman\u2019s butler.But the most successful party leader that ever distinguished himself in English political lifo was the Duke of Newcastle, styled the fvolish Duke, also described by Macaulay, who says that his chief characteristics were low cunning and an insatiable love of office.Nevertheless, during nearly half a century he filled the highest places under the Crown, including that of Premier.No Ministry could be formed without him, or, if formed, could long withstand his secret or avowed opposition.The ablest men of a period remarkable for able men had to succumb to him, for he deceived aud overreached them all.In short, he was the ideal of a party leader, just as Sir John Macdonald is in this country.While saying so, we do not mean to speak disparagingly of the Canadian Premier, in so far comparing him to the Foolish Duke, for Sir John is certainly not foolish, whatever else he may be.But we are persuaded that if he bhad lived in England in Newcastlo\u2019s time, and had taken a part in public affairs, the Duke, who overcame the great Chatham, Sir Robert Walpole and Lord Carteret, with so many other able men, would have found Sir John Macdonald a very easy victim, clever though he undoubtedly is, in party intrigue and tactics.We have no desire to dictate, oreven to obtrude advice on the Liberals of Quebec, beyond our right to express an opinion concerning what we believe to be the interests of the party to which they and we belong.It is in that capacity that we point out to them that it isas a consummate party leader that they have to encounter Sir John Maodonald, rather than as a statesman, They have always denied his merits as a statesman by the simple fact of having so long opposed him and his policy, which they ought wot to have done if his claims to true statesmanship were well founded, which they certainly are not.If may beasked how itis that Sir John Macdonald has been so suc- cessfulas a public man, if it be supposed that he is not an able statesman or politician.We have stated that he owcs his success above all to his extraordinary dexterity as a party leader.It is due also, in no small measure, to his histrionic talents, which are of a high order.We will venture indeed seriously to assert that, if he had gone on the stage in early life, he would have been the first comedian of the day.Tm light comedy, as we believe it is called, Sothern would have been nothing to him.He pessesses that \u201c mystery of the body \u201d which distinguishes all great actors.No one pretends that Sir John Macdonald is an orator, but the very shrug of his shoulders draws from his followers in the House of Commons a storm of applause, while his slightest utterance or pun, which would be stale and unprofitable if coming from others, \u2018\u201c brings down boxes, pit and gallery.\u201d It is a thousand pities that Sir John missed his proper vocation in not donning the buskin, and none can have more cause to regret it than the people of Canada, especially as the histrionic somewhat questionable value.my THE COMING SESSION OF THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT.The Fourth Session of the Fourth Parliament of Canada opens to-morrow and Senators and Commoners are hastening towards the Capital.It is expected that the session will be an interesting one, as several measures of general importance are likely to be submitted.There is also an impression abroad that a general election will follow soon after the close of the approaching session, and both Opposition and Ministerialists will endeavour to define the issues to be voted upon by the electorate.A large part of the session will necessarily be devoted to legislation of a private character, A great number of new railway charters will be applied for, and amendments asked to some already in existence.It is, therefore, probable that an unusual amount of work will devolve upon the Private Bills Committee, as well as the Committee on Railways, Canals and Telegraphs.The question of legalizing marriage with the sister of a deceased wife will no doubt be again brought before Parliament at an early stage of the session, and possibly a discussion of the marriage laws of each Province may ensue.Recent judicial decisions have drawn attention to the fact that the condition of the law relating to marriage in this Province is far from satisfactory, and, if the Dominion Parliament has exclusive power to deal with all questions of marriage and divorce, we think some steps should be taken towards making the laws bearing upon these subjects uniform throughout Canada.Attention will also, we presume, be atiracted to the Boundary dispute between Ontario and the Dominion.Possibly an amendment to the Address will be moved in reference to that question, as the people of Ontario are anxious to know how many supporters of the Government will place the interests of their Provinee before those of party, and vote for handing over to Ontario the territory to which she is justly entitled.For several years the Government have been promising a Civil Service Reform Bill, but the question has been repeatedly shirked.It is possible that an effort will be made by the Premier this session to redeem his pledge, but we doubt if any measure will be introduced tending to restrict the power of Ministers to make the Civil Service a refuge for their needy friends and supporters.The Budget debate will doubtless be more than usually lively, for the Finance Minister has still a good deal wax Premier in the reign of Queen Anne, and who was flattered and three

io know that small merchants or housekeepers will not buy tea, coffee, or any other merchandise, in any considerable quantity, when there is a prospect of procuring them at reduced prices in the near future, ter of Finance that tea and coffee merchants are not entitled to any privileges which should not be extended, under the question of duty is definitely settled, drawback given to holders of

consideration, conclude to continue the tea and coffee -duties, and remove those on fuel and breadstuffs, the consuming classes of Canada will have claimed to be the most perfect piece of legislative mechanicism ever produced.Tea and coffee will now be placed on the free list, though there is, as yet, not much hope that the oppressive taxes on fuel and breadstuffs will be removed.' The justnoss of the demand made by the tea and coffee merchants for a rebate of duty will also, perhaps, come up for discussion.THE TEA AND COFFEE DUTIES, In reference to the memorial from the Tea and Coffee trade, requesting a drawback of duties paid on tea and coffee still in store, the Minister of Finance writes as follows :\u2014 Orrawa, February 4, 1882.Dear Sir,\u2014You say you cannot understand why tea dealers should not haye the duty they have paid upon teas returned, should tea be declared tree.It is not customary for any Government to refund duties to importers, when a rate is reduced, or duty entirely removed, and the only case of the kind of which I have any knowledge was in 1872, when the duty was removed without any notice whatever having been given.refunded duties, why should not importers of other goods to be made free be similarly dealt with?But that cannot be done.You seem to think it was not wise for the Government to declare in Parliament a year ago, and on all suitable occasions since, theirjintention of taking the duty off tea and coflee.The notice was thus given for the express purpose of placing dealers in a position to escape loss by giving free tea and coffee to the consumer.If you had been caught with a large quantity of daty-paid tea on hand, without any notice whatever, you might have had ground for complaint, but the course taken by the Government in your iuterest does not appear to be appreciated.If it was the wish of the trade gener ally, the change might be delayed a couple of months to enable parties to dispose of their stock out of bond, but the feeling is general to have the change bronght into eifect at the earliest day possible.The reflection upon our honesty in the matter might have been omitted in the closing sentence of your letter.I am, dear sir, Youre truly, S.L.TiLLy.Jas.Ruin, Esq., Montreal.In the above letter Sir Leonard Tilley betrays a lack of business knowledge which cannot fail to seriously compromise himself and the Ministry for whom he speaks.The present Finance Minister has been regarded by many as a sound commercial authority, but we fear he has now forfeited all claim to such distinction.Sir Leonard did not declare in Parliament \u201ca year ago\u201d that the duties on tea and coffee were to be removed.That information was imparted to the public during the recess.But had the Governmentgiven notice a year ago that the tea and coffee duties were to be repealed at the next Session of Parliament, the declaration would have proved even more injurious to the trade than the more recent announcement, for instead of a few months\u2019 stagnation in the tea and coffee business, the importation of those ar- whole year.Sir Leonard affirms that the objest of the Government in an-

doubts this Min- Had Sir Leonard is- Had he re- We agree with the Minislike circumstances, to other importers, and had it been prematurely announced that the tax was to be removed from fuel, cottons, or other dutiable goods, the importers of such wares, having stocks in store, would have had equal claims for a refund of duty.The interests of importers should have sdne protection at the hands of the Government, but the proposal to postpone the removal of the tea and coffee duties for \u201ca couple of months,\u201d would, if carried out, simply prolong the stagnation in trade for that length of time.No large transactions in tea or coffee can be made until Should the duties be removed and no duty-paid tea and coffee, such holders unjust treatment, Should the Government, on fur- If importers or brokers of tea are to be] THE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.The Parliament of Great Britain entered upon another session of legislative labour Yesterday.We were correct in our surmise that there was no foundation for the report that, in order to prevent a prolonged and obstructive debate on the Address in reply, the Speech from the Throne would be dispensed with.So far from rudely putting aside this time-honoured formality, the Speech itself is nearly half as long again as deliverances of the sort commonly are, and the topics dealt with are not touched on in the usual gingerly and ambiguous fashion.For once we have in a Queen\u2019s Speech a straightforward statement of Government policy and of the grounds on which Ministers claim a renewal of the confidence of Parliament and of the country.After the customary congratulations, Her Majesty announces the impending marriage of Prince Leopold with the Princess Victoria of Waldeck.This clause of the Speech is sure to provoke an animated debate, a6 it will presage a demand on the public chest for an annual allowance for the happy pair, and calls of this sort are very grudgingly acceded to in these economical times, The next clause, which affirms that the relations of Britain with allF oreign Powers are friendly, will be reassuring to the country if, on the fur nishing of the papers whioh are certain to be called for, they are found to be corroborative of it.There has been a good deal of diplomatic intercourse on grave maiters between the Powers of Europe since Parliament prorogued, and most of it of an unfriendly sort, and all the world will be curious to know how in the midst of these conflicting interests and dangers she has contrived to preserve friendly relations with them all.The peaceful cession of Thessaly to Greece is referred as a matter for felicitation.Egypt is next alluded to and a vigorous policy, conjointly with France, indicated.There seems, on the one hand, no likelihood of Great Britain relaxing the hold she has on Egypt, or of France breaking away from the obligations she entered into to act with the former, a thing which some looked forward to as ameng the consequences of Gambetta\u2019 fall.The restoration of peace beyond the North-west frontier of India and the resumption of works of public utility and development south of it are next referred to.The reference to the still unsettled condition of South Africa will lead to one of the most stormy debates or more likely a series of stormy debates within the mem-' ory of the present generation.Parliament is informed that the negotiations for a satisfactory readjustment of trade relations with France are still in progress.The country is congratulated on the improved prospects of the agricultural interest, \u2014an invitation to thankfulness which must on the delivery of the Speech have been roceived with a good deal of winching by the land-lords who are the main body of the Conservative party in Parliament, mostof whom will seize the first opportunity that offers of declaring that they have every reason to be ungrateful and unhopefui.The clause relating to Ireland shows no symptom of weakness.\u201c Perseverance in the course hitherto pursued,\u201d it is predicted, will be attended with \u201cthe happy results so much to be desired.\u201d This is a fair and bold challenge to the representatives of the party of agitation, who will without doubt scramble for the possession of the gauntlet thus thrown down.Our readers will find this one of the most interesting and suggestive paragraphs of the Speech.A measure to give local self-government to English and Welsh counties is promised, Other important legislation will be proposed by the Government.The session promises to be a stormy one.more rer ae TRADE WITH THE WEST INDIES.Barbados seems to get hardly its fair share of the benefits owing from the increase of facilities from the exchange of commodities with other countries.In one respect it is rather a loser than a gainer by it.The regular monthly mail communication afforded by the Quebec and Gulf Ports Steamship line has done a good deal towards developing the trade between the Windward West Indies and the United States, but Barbados, whence the markets of the former used to draw their supplies, suffers from the direct trade with the United States which has sprung up.It was hoped that the establishment of à regular steam line bé- tween Canada and Brazil would inure to the benefit of Barbados, as the ves- rels of that line in going in either direction have to pass the principal West India Islands, and actually steam through the harbour of Bridgetown.So far they have done so without calling, although they;might obtain there as much freight, suitable for the Canadian market, as they could find room for.Itisto be hoped that attention having been diracted to this fact, the efficiency of the new line will be increased by the establishment of regular communication with these Islands, which would lead to the foundation of an extensive and mutually beneficial trade.A Mixxesora scholar has undertaken to meet the doubts of such as find it hard to believe that the

constantly with an aggregate yield of from $80,000 to $140,000 per month.There is already enough ore accumulated in the galleries of the mine to keep the twenty stamps in operation for two years to come, Part of the ore is pure silver, and is found in fibrous masses which can be moulded by the hand into any shape without fracture.Tae place, which is 320 miles from El Paso, is difficult of access, 120 miles of that distance having to be done by pack.All the machinery for the mills had to be transported to the mines on the backs of mules.Tae New York Bulletin grows facetious over the fact that Scotch potatoes are being shipped to Boston and New York, aud ars underselling the native esculent.How did it happen, it is asked, that the Congressmen who made the present tariff protected everything except potatoes ?THE NORTH AMERICAN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.The proceedings of the annual meeting of this Company which took piace at Toronto a few days ago, will be found in the appropriate column.The Report embraces the first year\u2019s operations, and on a cursory glance at the statements presented we very gladly recognize the rapid progress of its business.The most notable fact we observe in the report is that while 85 per cent.represents the ratio of expenditure to income of all the Companies doing business in the State of New York, and in the Dominion 69 per cent., the proportion of the North American leaves for reserve 43 per cent.Of course we are aware that in the will be larger thar in later years; but the statement is strengthened by the fact that a very small amount remains to be written off for preliminary expenses, so small, indeed, #8 to be hardly worth mentioning, It is a fact worthy of special notice, as one of the claims of the Company on the patronage of the insaring public, that it has secured the largest premium income that has been acquired by any such Company during the first vear of its existence.And this new business, it should also be obrerved, has been secured at a cost of less than 50 per cent.of the premiums, while the average of otlier similar institutions for the past three years has been 70 per cent.Another feature of the year\u2019s busi- gratulated is that the Board of Direction are able to announce to the public that the assets stand to the liability to policy holders in the ratio of $3 to $1, excluding the unpaid portion of the Guarantee Fund.It is very evident that the institution has struck its roots firmly into the confidence and good will of the public, and that its business is in the hands of agents who bring energy and tact to the furtherance of its interests.The management is evidently economical and judicious, and at the same time vigorous, and the methods of business such as meet with popular favour.We have no doubt that in future years a statement will be presented which will be appreciated alike by both stock and policyholders.We commend the balance sheet and general returns for the year 1881 to intending insurers.\u2014e es Youxa men, and middle aged ones, suffering from nervous debility und kindred weaknesses, send three stamps for Part VII of Dime Series Books.Address

having been called to attend the deceased, bur, on his arrival, found him dead.From the appearance of the body he was of opinion that death was caused by submersion in the boiling soap, which pro- duted either asphyxia or congestion.Edward Smith, the foreman ot the works, gave the account of the accident, and testified that there was never any railing around the trap in the second flat, through which deceased fell into the vat below.William Freeman, employed at the works, gave cor- toberative testimony, This closed the evidence, and the jury, after deliberating for about half-an-hour, returned their verdict as follows :\u2014« That the said William Milligan came to his death by falling into a tank containing boiling soap, in Hood's Soap Factory, situated at No.57 Amherst street, in the city of Montreal, and that tbe death of the said William Millizan was caused by the neglect of his employer in not having a railing around the trap through which the deceased fell into the boiler in the said factory, and not otherwise.\u201d ONTARIO BOUNDARY QUESTION.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD.Sir,\u2014As the article in the Toronto Mail in reply to my letter in the Globe on the

Mechanics\u2019 Bank was held at eleven o'clock yesterday morning in the office of Mr.James Court, the assignee.Mr.James Court was appointed Chairman, and Mr.George Hyde, Secretary of the meeting.The SECRETARY then read the notice calling the meeting and stating its object to be the fixing of the remuneration of the assignee, inspectors, &c., and the ordering of the business of the estate generally.The CHAIRMAN read the following report of the affairs of the esiate :\u2014 To the Creditors of the Mechanics' Bank : I have the satisfaction\u2018 to lay before you the result till date of the winding up of this estate, which, it w.ll be seen, are beyond the most sanguine expectations.\"l'he total collections amount to $274,393, deducting from which $27,153 for Mechanics\u2019 Bank funds taken in settlement, and in so far reducing the claims, and $3,296 collected under the 40 per cent.liability, leaves a balance of $243,046.The payments have been wade as follows :\u2014Privileged claims to Molsons Bank, the Government aud others, $14,296 ; hypo- thecary claims due on real estate sold, $24,- 632 ; law costs and payments to counsel, insolvency expenses, notarials, printing, ad- vertsing, ete, $1,727; in all $47,173, leaving $196,773 fur distribution.Out of this three dividends, in all 45 cents, have been declared.amounting to $144,963, showing a surplus of $57,810, from which has to be deducted assignees\u2019 commission, inspectors\u2019 fees, aud some contingent charges.The assets remaining of any value consist: 1st.Of the claim against F.E.Gilman, Esq, fer $3,040, judgment for which was obtained against him in the Superior Court, but taken to the Court of Appeals, where the case has been argued, and judgment thereon ex; ected next moth.2nd.A claim for certain machinery at Calumet, estimated at $2 300.In connection with this asset, possession of which is being sued for, the contestant, Mrs.Thompson, filed a claim fur over $18,- 000, less the value of the machinery, being for alleged damages sustaired to her business from the closing of the building under a writ of insolvency, she claiming to be a tenant under a lease from Mr.Menzies.For the consequences of this stoppage, lasting about three weeks, of a business which had not been actually started, this claim of $18,000 for damages was filed by her against the Bank.The claim has been subsequently trausterred to William Bowden for a stated consideration of $4,000.It is expected that judgment upon this claim, which has of course been contested, will be rendered very shortly.3rd.The remainder of the uncollected double liability and bills discounted, including the claim against Mr.Menzies, the collection of all of which being more onerous than benefizial to the estate, should now be sold in accordance with the Insolvent Act.Before this is done, however, it is deserving ot cousideration if arrangements could be made fur \u201cthe sale also of the two litigous claims, the purchasers assuming the responsibility for the claim for damages above referred to.: Until this can be done a final dividend will Lave to be delayed.The claims proved against the Bank amount to $324.000, including an estimate of $1,770 for claims which may yet be allowed.In addition, there is the balance of unproved claims and outstanding bills of $19,521, very little of which will probably be claimed.\u2018There is also to be noted the contested claim of Mrs, Thompson referred to.The amount collected from shareholders for the 40 per cent.liability will be divided rateably among the claimants entitled to a share of it, on confirmation by them of the discharge given by the Assignee to the sharcholders who paid the amount.The only other matter to bring before the meeting is the probable final dividend.It will be at once seen that the exact amount cannot be ascertained until the remuneration of the Assignee aud (nspectors be fixe:l, the sale of the outstanding assets take place, and the claim for damages disposcd of.So far, however, as a careful examination shows, I feel justified in stating that a divi dend:of at least 124c.may be expected, with the probability of a little additiunal.Congratulating the creditors on the very successful results of the winding up of the Bank, I am respectfully, Jamrs Courr, Assignee.Montreal, February 7, 1882.Lieut.-Col.A.A.STEVENSON, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was exceedingly satisfactory, and fully justified the adoption of the course they had taken in winding up the affairs of the Bank.Had they followed any of the other courses suggested he was satisfied they would not have got over 20 per cent.They had already received 45 per cent., and they would now receive 124, which would make 574 per cent.They were greatly indebted to Mr.Court for the manner in which he had secured every dollar possible for the estate.Mr.Wu.STRACHAN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.The CHAIRMAN said he was glad that they had got on with as little litigation as they could have expected, and it had been with\u2019 great satisfaction that they could say that they had succeeded.Mr.W.Weir asked if the assignee had power to dispose of the balance of the assets ?Mr.J.J.MACLAREN, Q.C,, the estate's solicitor, replied that he had, but said the assignee would doubtluss be glad of the ad- | vice of the meeting.He referred to the suit for damages brought by Mrs.Thompson against the Bank,and the Bank's claim against Mr.Gilman, both of which were still before the Courts.The final dividend could not with propriety be declared until the suits against the Bank]were disposed of.The Bank\u2019s claim against Mr.Gilman he , thought could be sold at a small discount, 88 the judgment in the first Court was in the Bank's favour.A CrepiTo said that he kuew of parties who were ready to buy the Bank's claim agninst Mr.Gilman, even if it went to the Court of last resort, and be thought it would be advisable to sell it, with all the risks attending it.The CHAIRMAN asked if it was understood that the creditors would not blame them if - they did not declare a final dividend before these cases were settied ?Mr.W.J.INGRAM said the Thempson claim against the Bank might cause some trouble and delay, and asked whether no compromise could be arrived at?The CHAIRMAN said the Inspectors and \u201chimself would be very glad to take into consideration Mr.Ingram\u2019s suggestion, but said he thought it would be an undesirable precedent.There were some people who, if they gave them the ieast idea of doing that, would increase their demands.Any one who would bring an action for $18,000 bad to be approached very cautiously.His own opinion was to settle it if they could.Mr.STRACHAN Said he thought Mrs.\u2018Thompson would accept a reasonable com- Promise.Licut.-Col.SteversoN asked what had en realized of the claim against Mr.Menzies ?The CHAIRMAN replied that between $4,- 000 and $5,000 had been obtained from the Guarantee Company.Lieut.-Col.Stevenson brought up the question of the preferential claims purchased by a certain syndicate, or « swindle- cate\u201d as he sometimes called such bodies, who had collected moneys on them and refused to hand them iu to the assignee, ani asked whether this final dividend would debar their rights?This syndicate had collected $1,600 to bring some of the original creditors up.Mr.MACLAREN replied that the Act made a provision for that.Mr.INGRAM said there was a large amount of this 40 per cent.that Col.Stevenson spoke of.Mr.MACLAREN replied about 5 per cent.Ifthe 60 per cent.was exbausted they could then bave their fling at the a0 per cent creditors.Mr.WEIR, a8 one of the «swindlecate,\u2019 explained that they had Vought these claims in the hope of getting the estate.They had not got the estate, and they would only be willing to pay the $1,600, provided the others paid their 5 per cent.: After some warm discussion on the mater, Lieut.-Colonel STevexson said that the claims he represented were acknowledged on all hands to be privileged claims.He had bad an extended conference with these people, and they were determined to have these claims settled.The CHAIRMAN said this matter might be brought up before the Inspectors and the Assignee, and they would try to settle it.He would like to avoid.any litigation in the matter.Mr.STRACHAN suggested that they had better collect the five per cent.ali round.Lieut.-Col Stevessox said if a resolution Has passed to that.effect he would be satis- ed.Mr.Weir said that would have to be done at a meeting of the estate.Lieut.-Uol.STEvessoN did not think any of the creditors would be debarred from taking any action in the interest ot the estate.The CHAIRMAN said he did not see what effect any resolution would have.Mr.STRACHAN moved that the dssignee and inspectors be iustructed to collect this five per cent.to pay off these privileged claims.\u2018The CHAIRMAN said hothing would be done that would injure these privileged claims.He would like to have a meeting afterwards and have them settled peaceably.Mr.STRACHAN then withdrew his motion, and the subject dropped.The question of the remuneration of the assignee then came up, and Mr.Weir said that as a retribution for his having opposed the appointment of Mr.Court, it fell to him to acknowledga that he was wrong then.He had had mure opportunity, perhaps, than most of the creditors of seeing what the \u2014assignee had done, and he must say that no money consideration could remunerate Mr.Court for what he had done for them.He said that while they could not afford to be liberal, as they had lost so much, they must be just, He would move « that in view of the remuneration fixed by the Insulvent Act, there be paid to the assignee for all services in connection with winding up the estate the sum of $8,000.\u201d Mr.Syudxs seconded the motion.Mr.INGRAM moved that $500 should be added to the amount, with the suggestion that it shoul 1 be given to the Messis.Hyde, who had rendered such invaluable services in connection with the estate.Mr.MacuareN bore testimony to the assiduity and diligence of the Messrs.Hyde in looking after the Bank\u2019s affairs.He said they could not have shown more diligence had it been their own business.\u2018The CHAIRMAN said it would be a great pleasure to him to hand over the $500 to the Messrs.Hyde, one of whom had been with him 21 years.1t was accordingly resolved to award the assignee $8,500 for his services, with a recommendation that the $500 be handed to the Messrs.Hyde for their valuable assistance.Mr.Weir said he also had had occasion to look into the business that the solicitor of the Bank, Mr.Maclaren, had done, and he must say that althouôh he had had a large amount of trouble ju advising the affairs of the Bank, his charges had been very reasonable.On motion of Mr.INGRAM, secended by Mr.LiCHENHEIM, à hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr.Maclaren tor the manner in which he had, without any undue litigation, administered the legal affairs of the Bank .After some discussion, it was resolved to grant $500 each to.the Inspectors, Messrs.Buchanan, Trottier and Joyce, and $250 extra to Mr.Joyce for extra services rendered to the cstate.It was also resolved to grant $150 to Mr.Ingram for his preparation of an estimate of the estate on behalf of the creditors.After votes of thanks to the assignee, the inspectors, and the Messrs.Hyde, the meeting adjourned.CIVIC AFFAIRS WATER COMMITTEE.A meeting of the Water Committee was held yesterday afternoon.Present\u2014Ald.Donovan (Chairman), Allard, Gilman and Proctor.\"The meeting was the last of the year for the present Committee and the members were very hilarious, whether over a sense of approaching victoy or not it is hard to say.No business of importance was transacted.A letter was read from Mr.Alex.Pigeon.207 and 209 McCord street, claiming damages owing to the flooding of his cellar by the bursting of the water pipe on the 1st of February.The matter was referred to the Superintendent.A communication was read from the Bell Telephone Company offering to connect the City Hall with the Water-Works.Left over.The Committee adjourned.RAILWAY COMMITTEE.A meeting of the Special Railway Committee was also held yesterday afternoon.Present-\u2014Ald.Fairbairn (Chairman), Watson, Mooney, Allard and Gilman.\u2018I'he CHAIRMAN, before the meeting opened, said they had ordered a survey under Mr.Ansley, the City Surveyor.The Superintendent of the Water Works, Mr.Kennedy, the Harbour Engineer, and Mr.Smelliv, Consulting Engineer of the Canadian Pacific Railway.This had occupied some time, and a very extensive survey bad been made.The report and plan bad been submitted at one meeting of the Committee, but its consideration had been deferred.A meeting had been called for this purpose, but had to be adjourned for want of a quorum.He thought that they should make all possible baste with so important a matter.Before the report was considered he had two suggestions to make.First, that in the matter of railway privileges any avenue or opening should be on a broad basis, broad enough tor four tracks at least, and that they should give no exclusive right to any one Company ; and secomdly, that unless it was unavoidable they should permit no level crossings.Several members of the press being present, the question whether the press should be admitted to the meeting or not wag raised.Ald.GimaN thought that as tho report bad been made public, the press might as well be admitted.Ald.Moonky thought that as the previous meetings of the Committee had been private, they should continue to keep their meetings so, and that nothing should be made public until some definite understanding was arrived at.Ald.DoNovaN agreed with Ald.Mooney.He thought that only the result of the discussion, and not the discussion itself should be mads public.This being the opinion of the Committee, the press accordingly withdrew., The report was then takea up for discussion.®EPrs's COCOA.\u2014URATEFUL AND LOMFORTING.~4 By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of diges tion aud nutrition, and by a careful application ot the fine

TAScHERBAU.The first sitting of this Court was held yesterday in this city in the Court of Appeals.His Lordship took his rest upon the Bench at 11 o'clock.The first cause was a Petition of Right in the steel rail contract.Mr.Ferguson, of Ottawa, and Mr.Join 8.Hall, jr., represented the suppliant, and Mr.C.P.Davidson, Q.C., and Mr.Hogg, of Ottawa, appeared for the Crown.; The circumstances under whic the petition was brought were as follows :\u2014In the month of July, 1875, the Canadian Government ordered for the Canadian Pacific Railway some 50,000 tons of steel rails in England.About 35,000 tens of this order were expected to be shipped to this country during that season, and to arrive on the wharf at Montreal.Mr.Morin, broker and agent, was appointed to act as shipping agent for the Government to do what was necessary in the reception and disposal of these raile.In consequence of the lateness of the season the rails could not be used for the railway that year, and consequently the late Mr Sippell, then eugi- neer of the Lachine Canal, was instructed to prepare a suitable place for the storage of the rails.That place was the Rock Cut, Lachine, and it was prepared with timber beds by Mr.Conway, the Superintendent of the Canal.An advertisement was issued by Mr.Morir, asking for tenders for the carrying of the rails from the wharf at Montreal to the Rock Cutting, and it was ultimately awarded to Mr.Patrick Kenny, the suppliant, at 80 cents a ton.Subs quently a notarial contract was entered into between Mr.Morin, acting as the agent for the Minister of Public Works, and Mr.Kenny, by which the latter was \u201cto remove and carry * * * all the steel rails that are actually or that will be landed from sea~ going vessels on the wharves of the harbour of Montreal during the season of navigation, and deliver and lay on the ground the said steel rails at the place commonly called the Rock Cut on the Lachine Canal.\u201d The suppliant avers that he was led to believe that there would be some 30,000 tons of steel rails to move, and with that understanding made arrangements, such as buying derricks and engaging barges and labour sufficient to move that quantity, thereby incurring considerable expense.He carried on the work until the 27th September, when Mr.Morin was instructed by the Department to send no mole of the rails to Lachine, but to send, through the agency of Mr.Stewart, the remainder to Ringston.At that time be had only moved about 11,000 tons of ¥ails, and he new petitioned that he might be paid for the loss incurred by the cancellation of the contract, and special damages for the expenses to which he had been put by arranging\u2014according to his understanding of the arrangements\u2014for 30,000 tons.The main question in the case was, whether the Government were bound by any representations that might have been made by Mr.Morin differing from or inconsistent with the terms of the contract itself.There was alsc a subsidiary question as to how far the petitioner had been damaged by the slteration in the destination of the rails, oo .ThZ first witness called on behalf of the suppliant (Mr.Patrick Kenny) was himself.Mr.Davipson, betore he was sworn, took the objection that as the centract, upon which the proceedings were based was made in Quebec, the Court, according to its own rules, was bound to hear,the case under the laws of the Province of Quebec, by which the suppliant would be debarred from giving evidence in his own bghalf.Mr.FerausoN contended that, although as a matter of convenience the contract had been made in Montreal, yet it was really made with the Minister of Public Works, and through all the preliminary proceedings the case had been treated as an Ontario one, and as governed by the Ontario law, which would admit of the suppliant being heard on his own behalf.His LorpsuiP overruled the objection and allowed the evidence of Mr.Kenny to be given.Mr.Kenny, having been sworn, testified té the particulars of the case as given above.\u2018 0 The évidentë of Mir: Moriil was also given as to the terms and orders under which he acted as shipping agent.The Court adjourned at one o'clock, and, on reassembling, Mr, Parks was called and testified that he was a forwarder, and knew that Mr.Kenny had a good reputation in that line of business.Knew that Kenny owned some barges in 1875, and that he had a contract for moving rails.Thought there would be a profit of 30c to 55¢ on the conveyance from the port of Montreal to the Rock Cut.Kenny had four derricks to facilitate the work, Thought they would cost about $200 or $300 each.The cost of barges that season would be about.$8 or $9 per day, includingthe wear and tear.Heard that Kenny's contract was cancelled in September of 1875.It would be difficult at that season ot the year to fill any other contracts.The barges would have required recaulking to carry grain, which would have cost about $600 or $700.Cross-examined-\u2014Knew that Kenny had three or four barges of his own.The price of the hired barges would depend upon the size.It would take about 10 hours to reach Lachine by Canal.Keuny\u2019s barges were of à good size, carrying about 175 to 200 tons.Tuos.FANNING sworn\u2014Testified that he was a stevedore and worked for Kenny in 1875.Loaded the barges and received the, rails from Mr.Morin.Never had to wait for any.Kenny had four barges of his own and hired four or five others.Hell a sub-contract to load the barges at llc.a ton.Did not hear Mr.Morin mention the number of tons expected to be shipped.Kenny had five derricks erected at the Cut.They would cest about $200 to $300 each.Charged Kenny a little over $300 for his claim, which was paid.Mr.RAPELLB sworn\u2014Stated that in 1875 he was checker for Kenney ; he was now a clerk in the Post-office.Mr.Morin, before Kenny had made a tender for carrying the rails, stated in witness\u2019 presence that there would perhaps be about 5,000 to 30,000 tons of rails to move, and that the accepted tender would move all.Cross-examined\u2014There were about eight or nine hands employed loading these barges.This closed the evidence for the suppliant and the evidence for the Crown will be continued to-day at eleven o'clock.The Court adjourned at four o'clock.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 I.0.0.F.OPENING PARLOR SOCIAL OF MIZPAH LODGE, NO.3.The opening parlour social of Mizpah Lodge, No.3, t 0 0.F., which was held in the Lodge room, 662} Craig street, last evening, was a decided success.The Chair was occupied by Mr.P.A.Crossby, N.G., and there was 8 large attendance of the members and their friends.After a few words of welcome from the Chairman, Miss Beauchamp gave a piano solo, which was very artistically rendered.Au address was then delivered by Brohe would like to know of an Association that yielded to its members, and through its members to the community, more real and substantial benefits than Oddfellowher orphan children were cared for and educated to fill positious suit.d to their stations in society, when they were provided with situations whereby they could earn a livelihood for themselves.The laws of the Order poritively furbade \u2018he entrance of any man within its pale whe did not maintain a good moral character.He cave an able exposition of all the great principles of the Order, and concluded by saying that the end aud aim of Oddfellowship was to elevate the moral standard in the public mind, to sweeten the cup of life, to ease the bed of death, to make the bed good, and the good better.The great Heaven-born principles, Friendship, Love and Truth, must be held inviolable or no positive happiness in this world could ever be found.A comic song was given by Mr.Beauch:mp, which was greeted with hearty applause ; then followed a duet, \u201c Where the Rippling Streamlets Flow,\u201d by Misses Crawford and McDonald, which was well rendered, A flute solo, \u201c Cavatina de la Straniera,\u201d by Bro.A.A.Maver, P.G.; song, \u201cSing, Sweet

close.The greater part of those present then adjourned to the hall below, where dancing was kept up till the wee sma\u2019 hours, to the excellent music turnished by the Italian orchestra, while others enjoyed themselves at parleur games in the Lodge room.AMUSEMENTS.THEATRE ROYAL.DALY'S FIFTH AVENUE COMPANY.Miss Helen Blythe will appear in Hast Lynne At the Royal on Thursday evening, suppoited by a Company of excellent artists.Kast Lynne is a highly popular drama, and as \u201c Lady Isabel\u201d Miss Blythe appears to advantage.\u201c Pique\u201d will be given on Friday evening, and of Miss Blythe\u2019s performance iu Toronto the Mail said :\u2014In the role of «Mabel Renfrew\u201d Miss Blythe has demonstrated that she is a genuine artiste\u2014that she is a lady who has acquired by patient study a thorough knowledge of dramatic art, and that she possesses the ability or talents necessary to turn that knowledge to full account.The char- acte is one requiting emotional power of a high order, and, when 1t is said Miss Blythe fills the role in an admirable manner, it will be understood she is possessed of that quality in an eminent degree.When the lady was here before, her acting, while showing great promise, was crude and to some extent amateurish.Now, however, she has greatly improved, and comes before us a finished, graceful, charming actress, thoroughly fulfilling the promise of her earlier years.Her rendering of \u201cMabel Renfrew\u201d was all through a praiseworthy performance, one which, while reflecting the greatest credit on herself, shows she has been careful to study in a good school.From the beginning she was natural, and çonsequently impressive and foreible, ACADEMY OF MUSIC.& A CHILD OF THE STATE.\u201d By our New York exchanges we see

length.He dwelt on the merits of the Bill, avoiding all reference to the disallowance of the Act of last session.He pointed out the immense importance of the lumbering interest in Ontario and the necessity for such a Bill.He spoke of _the interpretation given to the Statute passed in 1849 by the Court in the case of Boale vs.Dickson having been reversed by the Court of Appeals, which held that the Act of 1849, allowing timber to be floated down streams in times ot freshets, applied to all streams and not to those alone which were in a state of nature floatable.He dealt with the objection that the compensation im the Bill was not adequate.But they had allowed for the cost of construction, interest and for the cost of maintenance, and what more he asked ceuld they do?The objection that the Bill was .retroactive he showed to be in itself unfounded, because there was hardly a session of the House but such legislation was enacted.He concluded by saying, \u201c we have considered the Bill fully and finding that it is within the competence of the Legislature to pass it, and finding that it is necessary in the public interest, we deem it our duty to re-enact the Bill, throwing the responsibility and odium ot an unjust interference with private rights on hon.gentlemen opposite and on their friends at Oftawa, where it belongs.\u201d (Cheers).Mr.Meredith attacked tie principle of the Bill, on the ground that it was an uncalled for interference with private rights without proper compensation.He denied that the streams referred to in the Act ot 1879, were other than natural highways.He thought it an erroneous proposition to allow a man relying on the decision in Boale vs.Dickson, given 18 years ago, to expend large sums on improvements and then atep in by Act of Parliament and give the public the same rignts and privileges with the owner.He protested against that Chamber being used to overturn the decisions of the Courts Ly a partisan majority.Under that system he said no man would be secure in his property.He admitted the right of the Legislature to ap- propriaté private property to the public use and its right to pass retroactive legislation, but only when imperatively demanded in the public interest, and then with full compensation.He denied the right of the Government to transfer the use of the property of one private citizent to another.He declined to consider the judgment ot the Court of Appeals in McLaren vs.Cald- ship.Their Institution watched and well, and took the view that the Bill not guarded the widews of her departed sons ; being in the public interest, nor providing ! due compensation, it should not pass.He concluded by stating that if the Government stood by tue views thev expressed in 1874, they must advise the Lieut.-(}overnor to reserve this new Bill for the considerition of the Governor-General, and also that if they did not, it was the duty of the Lieut.- Governor to reserve it.! Mr.Mowat rc plied at considerable length and with effect, pointing out that dr.Meredith seemed to apply the provisions ot the Bill to Mr.McLareu, whereas it was to apply to all streams \u2018and not to auy particular individual or stream.Messrs.Morris, Lyon and Lees spoke briefly, and the Bill was read a second time without a division.À Bill to provi-le for the csustruction of Water Works in towns, cities and villages, generally, was read a second time without debate.The House adjourned at 5.35 p.m.IMPRRIAL PARLIAMENT.\u2014_ FULL TEXT OF THE SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.Loxpox, February 7.\u2014Parliament reassembled to-day.The Queen's speech is as follows :\u2014 My Lords and Gentlemen : It is with much satisfaction that I again invite your advice and assistance in the conduct ot public affairs.I have given my aporoval to a marriage between Prince Leopold and the Princess Helen, of Waldeck.I have reason to believe this will be a happy union.I continue in relations of cordial harmony with all foreign powers.The Treaty for the cession of Thessaly to Greece has now been executed in the main provisions.The transfer of the sovereignty and occupation was effected in a manner honourable to all concerned.In concert with the President of the French Republic, I have given careful attention to the affairs of Egypt, where the existing arrangemeuts have imposed on me special obligations.I shall use my influence to maintain the rights already established, whether by Firmans or the Sultan, or by various international engagements, in aspirit favourable to the good government of the country and the prudent development of its institutions.1 have pleasure in informing vou that the restoration of peace beyond the northwestern frontier, together with continued internal tranquillity, plentiful seasons and increased revenue, has enabled my Government in India to resume the werks of public utility which were suspended, and devote its attention to measures for the further improvement of the condition of the people.A convention with the Transvaal has been ratified by the Representative Assembly, and I have seen no reason to qualify my anticipations of its advantageous working.I have, however, to regret that although hostilities have not been renewed in Basutoland, the country still remains unsettled.Gentlemen of the House of Commons : \u2018The estimates for the service of the year are in an advanced stage of preparation, and will be submitted te you.My Lords and Gentlemen : My communications with France on the subject of a new commercial treaty have now been closed.\u2018These will be presented by me, as I have already acquainted you with my desire to eonclude a treaty favourable to extended intercourse between the two nations, to whose close amity I attach so great value.The trade of the country, both domestic and foreign, forsome time has been improving,and the mildness of the winter has been eminently suited to farming operations.Better prospects are, I trust, thus opened to the classes immediately concerned in agriculture.The public revenue, which is greatly though not always at once, affected by the state of industry and commerce, has not yet exhibited an upward movement in proportion to their increased activity.The condition ofgIreland at this time compared with the beginning of last year, shoWs signs of improvement, and encourages the hope that perseverance in the course you have pursued will be rewarded by the happy results so much to be desired.Justice has been administered with great efficacy, aud intimidation which has been employed to deter occupiers of the land from fulfilling their obligations and trom availing themselves of the Act of last session, shows upon the whole diminished force.My efforts through the bounty of Providence have been favoured by an abundant harvest in that portion of my Kingdom.In addition to the vigorous execution of the provisions of the ordinary law, I have not hesitated, under the painful necessity of the case, to employ largely the exceptional powers entrusted to me for the protection of life and property by the two Acts of last session.You will be invited to deal with proposals for the establishment in English and Welsh counties of local self-government which bas so long been enjoyed by towns, with enlarged powers of administration and financial changes, which will give you an opportunity of considering Ytoth as to town and county what may be the proper extent and most equitable and provident form of contribution from the Imperial taxes in the relief of local charges.These proposals, as far as they are financial, will apply to the whole of Great Britain.It will be necessary to reserve the case of Ireland for separate consideration.In connection with the general subject of local administration, I have directed a measure to be prepared and submitted to you for the reform of the ancient and distinguished Corporatien of London, and for the extension of municipal government to the metropolis at large.Bills again will be laid before you with which during the last session, notwithstanding the length of its duration and your unwearied laovours, it was found impossible to proceed.I refer particularly to those concerning bankruptcy, the repression of corrupt practices at elections, and the conservancy of rivers and the prevention of floods.Measures will also be proposed to you with respect to the criminal code, and the consolidation and amendment of the laws affecting patents.Interests of some portions of the kingdom have suffered peculiarly of late years from the extreme pressure of public business on your time and strength, but I trust during the session you may be able to consider tho Bills which will be presented to you in relation to the law of entail and the educational endowments of Scotland, ani to improve the means of education in Wales.I commend these and other subjects with confidence to your care, and it is my earnest prayer your wisdom and energy may, under the blessing of God, prove equal to the varied and increasing needs of my extended empire.HOUSE OF COMMONS.In the House of Commons, Bradlaugh advanced to take the oath.Sir Stafford Northcote moved that he be not allowed to swear.Bradlaugh, at the request of the Speaker, withdrew, asking to be allowed a hearing before the question was decided.Sir Wm, Harcourt moved the previous question.He advised the House that as Bradlaugh had been admitted to affirm, subject to the decision of a Court of law, he be now allowed to swear similarly.The proposition was received with ironical cheers.Northcote's motion was adopted.Bradlaugh \u2018ad lressing the House from the bar, declared most solemnly that the P.rlia- mentary oath would be binding upon his honour and conscience.Mr.Gladetone maintained that the House \u201ccould only sec that the formalities of ad- ; Ministering the oath were observed and j could not inquire into Bradlaugh's opinions.| Afier the vote was taken the Speaker ordered Bradlau:h to withdraw.He at first | refused, but withdrew upon a motion ordering him to do so, which Mr.Gladstone said he would not oppose.Sexton gave notice of a Bill to repeal the Coercion Act., The Speaker read a letter from Forster infcrming him of th: arrest of certain Irish members of the House.Dwyer Gray (lIome Ruler) moved that the letter be referred to a select Committee.He contended that the Coercion Act bad been violated.Mr.Gladstone oppored the motion which was rejected, 174 to 45.HOUSE OF LORDS.i In the House of Lords, the Marquis of Salisbury made a violent attack on the Government.Granville replied .Lord Salisbury said Gladstone's utterances in 1880 and the recent conduct of the Government regarding Turkish affairs, tended to separate England from Germany.He ho} @.1 the Government would co-operate with the Sultan and France, as long as their lines of Policy were parallel, but would reserve the liberty to diverge when the interests of the Eust prompted them to act differently.He deprecated the policy of neutralization on the Panama Caual question.He declared the unexampled rtate of affairs in Ireland would not have been allowed to exist in France or America for six months.He considered the Royal speech as an exhortation to persevere inthe course previously pursued, which is to let anarchy have its way and oder a sop to these whem we hope to conciliate, because we are unable to conquer them.He concluded by sayicg that the country expected the Government to meet the calamity of which the doctrines they Lave preached have been the cause.Earl Granville replied that the present condition of Ireland compared favourably with that during the last year, and quoted statistics to prove the truth of his statement.The Government relied on the beneficial effect of the Land Act.The Government policy in Egypt was the maintenance ot the rights of the Khedive aud the liberties of the people.Although some intervention might be necessary, the Government was able to co-operate with other Powers to prevent the necessity of forced intervention.An address in reply to the Queen's speech was agreed to, THE EGYPTIAN IMBROGLIO.Loxpon,.February 5.\u2014A Cairo correspondent writes :\u2014Though I cannot say that the situation has as yet materially improved, it seems to me that there are various indications pointing in tne direction of a not unfriendly settlement of the main points in dispute.I have had the opportunity of discussing with many influential men here, of all shades of opinion, the various aspects of the crisis, and they concur in thinking that, unless something very unexpected occurs, a compromise ought to be, and will be, effected.One fact is certain\u2014that the Khedive is anxious to arrange a compromise with the Chamber of Deputies with reference to the demand to vote the Budget.The proposal is to the effect thal the Chamber shall nominate a number of Deputies corresponding in number to the members of the Government and the Controllers General, and that they shall participate in fixing the Budget items.Whether this partial proposal will be accepted or not is at present uncertain.What seems to me more important is that the general political tone has been considerably lower in the last forty-eight hours, and that many high - flown pretensions are no longer pressed, In a state of things where a single rash act or foolish speech might provoke not merely an emeute, but a revolution, it would be unwise to assume a too confident tone.Nor is it easy to explain in so many words in what particular respects the situation may be said te have improved.But my impression distinctly is that, in the absence of the unexpected, the wobst of the crisis is over, and that what remains to be dealt with ought not to bz beyond the reach or a clever and conciliatory diplomatist.BERLIN, February 7.\u2014According to the view entertained in influential quarters here, the dissatisfaction felt in London and Paris at the Turkish note will not be shown in the rejuinder of the Western Powers to that communication.IL is contended here that the note of the Porte was fully justified, and that the action of England and France was indefensible.Their right to financial control in Egypt, it is argued, gave them uo claim to interfere as they did.In any case, it is held here that a final settlement of the Egyptian question must be the work of the European concert.All that the Westers Powers have succeeded in doing is, according to the German view, to have roused the opposition of the Mahometans and excited the agitation prevailing throughout North Africa.The Porte believed that the Western Powers were completely isolated, and hence the sharp style of the note in which she ventured to address them.Moreover, Turkey had arrived at the conviction that England and France would not, after all, actively intervene if things became really serious, and the Khedive were placed in difficulties by the National party.In Berlin n is still repeated that England and France cannot be allowed to seitle the Egyptian question by themselves, and that he other Powers will not remain quiet if they should attempt to do go.Influential persons here, moreover, anticipate that the Anglo-French entente will come to an end as soon a8 England clearly recognises what they regard as the fact\u2014I mean that France all through the business has only been endeavouring to dupe and overreach England; for if an active intervention took place, the French are persuaded that being the great military Power they will be able in the end to secure to themselves the lion\u2019s share of the spoils, whatever shape they may take.It is, however, hoped that, after the experience of the Gallic faith in Tunis, England will not allow herself to be ensnared in fegard to Egypt.Prince Bismarck, Iam informed, has not replied, and will not reply, to the Turkish answer to the joint note, on the ground that it 18 only addressed tothe Western Powers.The sequel of the Egyptian question is awaited here with the greatest composure.ViENNA, February 5.\u2014I have authority for stating that neither Austria nor any.other Power has issued any circular in reference to the differences between the Porte and the Western Powers on the subject of Egypt; nor has any fresh Turkish circular reached Vienna.; ; The progress of the Egyptian question is being attentively watched here, and an exchange of opinions is going on between our Foreign Office and friendly Powers { reference to the course of procedure to ! adopted undsr certain eventualities.This however, is all that is being done here in the matter at present, Roue, February 5.\u2014The Osservatore spealts of secret encouragement being given to the Egyptian National party frum gome other Power besides Constantinople, and rays the divergence between France and England is continually increasing.The Opinione, remarking the extreme imprudence and multiform mischief of this identical note to the Khedive, and the danger to England from her association with France, strongly blames the weakness, irresolution, and moral cowardice of the English Ministry in its foreign policy, and unfavourably contrasts it with that of Lord Beacousfield.a CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.Cuicaco, February 7.\u2014 Larry Murray and James Rice, notorious cracksmen arrested, coufess fifteen burglaries here.Gouds worth $8,000 have been recovered.Norpock, February 7.\u2014~The sloop \u201cDrummond \u201d capsized ia the Vansemond River on Saturday night, and two men were drowned.ALBANY, February 7.\u2014The Governor has granted a further respite to Martin Flanagan, under sentence of death in Buffalo, until Ma.ch 24.MOORISH LAW AND JUSTICE.\u201cI DO NOI' PRAY TO THE PROPHET OR ANYBODY ELSE.\u201d CASABLANCA, Morocco, Dec.25.\u2014On tke 16th of the present month a dispute arose between two Moors in the grain soco (market) of this place.The victim in the case is called Herisi, who was negotiating for wheat with a seller of that article.The price charged being above Herisi\u2019s figures, he set about manœuvring to bring the article to what seemed to him nearer its real value.To which the seller replied, \u201cSlaa El Ennebe\u201d (prayers to the prophet), a common expression among Mohammedans.Herisi reaponded, \u201cI do not pray to «he prophet or anybody else.\u201d To this the fanatical seller replied, «I shall inform the Shraa (Moorish Tribunal, a Court where Europeans often have to appeal for justice) of your sinful expression.\u201d The seller reported without delay to the Cadi (Judge) the disrespectful remark of Herisi, and he, witheut further ceremony, sent two soldiers and arrested Herisi, and when brouglit before His Sapient Lordship the prolimin- aries were short and decisive and without commiseration.THR BASTINADO.The examination of the case commenced with the final decision, which occupied only about four seconds of time, and consisted in ordering the soldiers to give him 600 hundred lashes on the soles of his bare feet, inflicted with a stubbed rawhide, adapted to administer severe punishment.The order was at once carriea into execution.In this caseas well as many others a good dinner is followed by a choice desert, and in the absence of anything exotic cayenne pepper was substituted, in conformity with the orders of the Cadi.His mouth and throat was scrubbed with the warm prescripivion ill blood ran freely, this moilifying dose being administered to the full satisfaction of the affectionate Cadi, and the victim during this operation being totally unconscious, baving undoubtediy had the last morsel of feeling taken out of him with the rawhide persuader.TIED TO A DONKEY.*The affable Cadi then ordered what was left of Herisi to be tied to the back of a donkey and promenaded all through the streets of the town, which order was also carried into execution.In these cases, which are not at all unfrequent, the victim is exposed and subject to whatever ill and brutal treatment the prowling profligates feel disposed to inflict upon him, and Herisi, in his unconscious state, lashed to the donkey\u2019s back, was hooted through the streets, stoned, beaten with sticks, spit upon and completely plastered with the most filthy porqueria they could obtain, of which there is no lack in the streets of Casablanca.In this state the victim was again presented to the Cadi, who, finding that there was life still left in him, ordered him thrown into a pit made under gronnd, in which all cages of extreme bid character like the present are the victims consigned with seven months added to the charm.MRS.PARTINGTON SAYS, Don't

smali-pox case, the health of the port not being endangered thereby.\"he facts are as follows§:\u2014 The *¢ Peruvian\u201d arrived in the harbour about 1.30 on Sunday morning, with every appearance of a south-easterly gale comingon.There was à case of smallpox on board, which from its first appear- anee, had been kept isolated in one of the ships hospitals forward and the patient was attended to by a friend a fellow-pas- senger who had had the disease.Captain Ritchie, knowing that there were no signs of disease amongst any of the other passengers, proceeded to the wharf instead of anchoring below a mile south of Georges Island as called for by the Quarantine regulations, and not considering it safe to keep his ship there at this season of the year with every appearance of bad weather coming on.Arriving at the wharf, strict quarantine was kept.No person being allowed on board until Dr.Wickwire arrived, excepting Dr.\u2018Moren who arrived first, being sent for under the impression that Dr.Wickwire was ill.The mails were landed, and the ship proceeded to stream, where she remained all Sunday, during the severe easterly gale, and snow-storm that prevailed.On Sunday evening, the small-pox patient and his attendant were conveyed by Dr.Wickwire to the hospital on Lawler Island.The « Peruvian,\u201d after the removal of the patient and attendant, weather having moderated, came to the wharf about midnight on Sunday, and through cabin and steerage passengers went forward by truin today.Had the \u2018\u201c Peruyian\u201d remained below on Sunday morning, it would have been some hcurs before communication could have been had with her, happening as it did at night, and the mails of all Canada would have been much delayed.Tee Dartmouth Town Council hae passed the draft of

from Egypt.He said that there wae no truth in the report that he intends to cease acting for Parnell as leader of the Land League party in Parliament.\u201c* At the same time,\u201d said Mr.McCarthy, \u201c\u2018 T understand that no leader at all is to be appointed in Parnell\u2019s place.I shall continue to aot as his lieutenant.\u201d The-correspondent asked Mr.McCarthy whether he approved of the no rent mau- ifesto put forward by the League, and whether he believed the aati-rent agitation would be effective?\u201c In principle and except in the last extremity,\u201d replied Mr.Mo@arthy, \u201cIam opposed to the anti-rent agitation, but the circumstances under Which the manifesto was signed were 80 exceptional, ih my opinion, as to justify it.I should have signed it, I think, had I been in England.Agitation has already been most effective.\u201d The correspondent asked whether any changes were decided upon in the tactics of the League party ?' *¢ None of importance,\u201d replied Mr.Mc- Carthy, \u2018\u201c but probably the obstruction policy will have to be dropped.We muster too few men to give it a chance ofsuccess.An amendment to the Queen's speech will doubtless be proposed by one of our party.Further than this, I do not know myself.\u201d RHETORIC OF THE RECESS.Sir Henry James, speaking at a Liberal demonstration at Barton-on-Trent, declared that the question of reform of the procedure ot the House of Commons must be judged not only by Parliament, but by the country, by whom freedom of discussion must ever be cherished as it deserved, but those who said the freedom of the country was endangered because they wished to do the real business, seemed rather to desire to embarrass than to assist.Sir William Harcourt, speaking at the same meeting, alluded to the same subject.He was not going to tell them any secrets, but the objects the Government aime at could not be controverted.They wanted that after a full and adequate diecassion the House of Commons should come to a particular decision on every measure submitted to them in such a reasonable time as to allow the business of the nation to be transacted.The House of Commons was not now allowed to come to a practical decision within a reasonable time, and, there fore the business of the nation was Lot allowed to be done.Mr.Broadhurst, M.P., at a dinner of the Amalgamated Engineers, spoke in favour of the reform of parliamentary procedure, saying it was a national disgrace that all the important Bjlls of last session were passed after one o*flock.He stated that Mr.Burt had takesgcharge of a Bill to amend the Employers\u2019 Liability Act, and urged that the Amalgamated Engineers should be represented in Parliament by their own Secretary.\\ Messrs.Gourley and Storey, the members for Sunderland, spoke on Saturday at a farmers\u2019 club dinner.Mr.Gourley expressed himselt in favour cf tenants being compensated for unexhausted improvements.Mr.Storey was in favour of elee- tive County Boards.Parliament, after all, could uot do much for the farmer in comparison to what it did for other branches of industry, but it could ensure to the farmer that he would get out of the soil what he put into it.IRELAND.Lixericx, February 7.\u2014A correspondent had an interview with Mr.Clifford Lloyd, special magistrate for the counties of Limerick and Clare, at his lodgings 1n Catherine street, in this city, Saturday.In reply to the question whether there was any truth in the report of the discovery of a vast conspiracy in the district over which he has military and police eontrol, he said :\u2014 \u2018There is nothing in this vast conspiracy story; it is an absurdity.The Fenian conspiracy, if yom choose so to term it, or organization such as itis, exists still, but I know of no mew conspiracy.The county Clare, however, is in a very bad state, and I am going at once to Ennis and thence to Milltown-Malbay, where a disgraceful murder was recently perpetrated.My district is, in fact, the very worst in Ireland.\u201d Correspondent\u2014We hear all sorts of rumours connected with this district in Dublin; among them one that a vessel recently landed with arms in the Shannon, Can you tell me if there is any truth in that ?Mr.Clifford Lloyd\u2014W hat if there were ?It would be of no consequence.You know how money is collected for this purpose from Irish maid servants and labourers in America.Well, I suppose, just 10 make the Fenian sympathizers there believe that they are doing something with the money, they send over some old rusty Enfield rifles, not worth three and sixpence apiece, ard thensome blackguard here comes to me and offers to show me or to get me to offer ten of those old things for £10.To this proposition I answer that they are not worth £10, and even if there were I would not pay the money.What does it matter?Let them use them if they dare., Correspondent\u2014Has anything come to light respecting the dynamite which was stolen from the magazine atBallinacurra ?Mr.Clifford Lloyd\u2014Nothing whatever to my knowledge.Even if I knew I could not let it out.They wrote to my landlady here and said they would blow her up if she did not give me notice to quit.These fellows evidently don\u2019t seem to like me.Tam sure l don\u2019t know why, as I am their best friend.If they break the law I have them arrested, and instead of having a field day in 8 Suinmons Court I warn them themselves on pain of arrest.Noman ean complain of the way he is treated by mie, and yet look here.Mr.Lloyd produced.a small slip of paper on which was written in a good clear hand a notice of * £10,000 reward for the corpse of Clifford Lloyd.CaPTAIN MoONLIGRT.\u201c\u2018 This was placarded in Sulla the other day,\u201d continued Mr.Lloyd.As I said, I am going into the county Clare, and I intend to see that the law is respected and enforced wherever I am.When Iam gone they can break the law if they like, but they soall not while I am alive,\u201d Cork, February 7.\u2014 The magistrate, after hearing the testimony of the informer Connell, committed 16 Moonlighters for trial.Three were remanded aad one discharged.H.Redmond, brother

Coll if he is pronounced fit to travel.His mind is affected and he is violent at times, but there are hopes of his recovery.THE GOVERNMENT AND THE JEWS.ST.Pererssvre, February 7 \u2014 The Government is about to publish a statement showing that the Government promptly and vigorously dealt with the anti-Jewish movement, and is disposed to take precautions to prevent a recurrence of the offences.SCENE IN A SYNAGOGUE, On the Jewish fast day here the Chief Rabbi preached a sermon in which he said the recent persecutions the Jews endured were a just punishment inflicted upon them for neglecting God\u2019s commands and becoming too wordly and sensual.As these words were spoken some students entered the Synagogue and shouted * Down with.the hypocrite.\u201d The congregation arose in great terror, fearing a riot, but a posse of police compelled the students to withdraw.STRAINED RELATIONS WITH GERMANY, Gen.Von Schweinitz, German Ambassador, in obedience to Bismarck\u2019s instructions, has asked Von (iiers, Secretary of the Foreign Office, for an explanation in regard to the recent speech of Gen.Sko- beleff favouring the Panslavist agitation in Bosnia.Von Giers replied that he knew nothing of any speech made by Skobeletf.Bismarck then despatched a second telegram to Von Schweinitz, who informed Von Giers that he night have to announce to the Czar his recall if Russia appeared to support the agitation against Austria inthe press, or even showed toleration thereof.Von Schweinitz was authorized to state that Germany regarded her interests as identical with

Dist.-Atty.Corkhill, \u201cthat Guitean will not hang on the 30th of June.He will.The anniversary of that fatal Saturday in July will find him under the dissecting knife.I hear that Scoville has deserted the case, and will file no bill of exceptions.Whether he does or does not, is à matter of no moment at all.The Court in banc will grant no new trial.It has practically passed already upon every point that could be presented in any possible bill of exceptions.Every word and every act of Judge Cox \u2018during the trial was the result of a conference with all his brethren of the bench.There is nothing to be decided now, and the assassin will never appear in a Courtroom again.His next appearance in public will be on the scaffold.\u201d FIGHT FOR A COUNTY SEAT.Sr.PAuL, February 7.\u2014Grant County, Dakota, is the scene of a county-seat contest that began at the fall election, was continued in the Courts, and has finally\u2019 resulted in tumult.The county records are held at Big Stone City, in defiance of an alleged judicial decision that Milbank was designated as the county-seat last November.À few days ago two of the County Commissioners tried to remove the records to Milvank, supported by a force of 200 or 300 armed citizens, but they were so stoutly resisted by a similar force raised at Big Stone that they failed in thejr attempt.A despatch from Milbank says :\u2014 The safe containing the records of the County Clerk and the Register of Deeds is held at Big Stone City by an armed mob.Reliable reports state that there are now fully 300 armed men in Big Stove and the vicinity, threatening to shoot any one attempting to remove the safe.They have regular pickets stationed in and around the town, day and night, who intercept every traveller coming from Milbank.Recruits have been received from all around the county.One hundred bales of hay have been turned into & barricade from which the old County Clerk\u2019s office can be easily covered with rifles.The Probate Judge, accompanied by.a Deputy Sheriff, visiled Big Stone yesterday and demanded the probate recorde.The request was defiantly refused by the armed men on guard at the door of the

EXHIBITION, Missmwsirpr Ci7y, February 7.\u2014At exaetly 2 minutes of 12 the men toed a scratch and shook hands.In the first round both men sparred cautiously for the opening.Ryan led with a right but fell short, catching in return a hot one from Sullivan\u2019s left on the face.The exchanges then became short and quick, and Sullivan finally knocked him down with a severe right-hander on the cheek.Time, 30 seconds.BECOND ROUND.Sullivan at onde rushed to hie man and let go his left which caught Ryan on the jaw.Ryan closed with him and they wrestled for a fall which Ryan won, falling

seconds, FOURTH ROUND.The men sparred for, perhaps, a second ee two : both fointes, em fhen Sullivan went Hor Ryan s face, putting in a stinging blow square on his nob before they clused.The hugging then commenced aud continued until Ryan was forced into and upon the ropes, when he went to grass.Time, 20 seconds.THE FIFTH ROUND was a repetition of the above, both men closing and putting in their best licks, the attacks of both being confined to the face.Ryan succeeded in bringing Sullivan to his knees at the close.SIXTH ROUND.Sullivan came up smiling, but it was evident that Ryan was not oly suffering, but wassomewhat afraid ef his antagonist.Sullivan lost no time, but went in.Ryan, however, closed and got him across the buttock and downed him.THR SEVENTH ROUND was short.The men closed and fibbing was continued for a few seconds, when Ryan went to grass a wreck Sullivan came to his corner smiling.Ryan, however, had grit to come up for another round.RIGHTH ROUND.The men, on call of time, came up promptly.Ryan was decidedly weak, but made a gallant struggle.Sullivan fought him all over the ring and into the umpire\u2019s corner and over the ropes.Getting off the ropes he rallied, but went down on his knee and hand.A foui was looked for, but though Sullivan had his hand raised to strike, he restrained himself.Ryan rose, and both men were moving to corners when the seconds of each cried, \u201cGo for kim.\u201d The men, responding again, eame together.They closed and clinched, and after a short struggle both went down.Ryan and Sullivan were visited after they had gore to their quarters.Ryan waslying exhausted on a bed, badly disfigured about the face, his upper lip being cut through, and nose disfigured.He did not move, but lay panting.Stimulants were given him to restore him.He is terribly punished about the head.At the conclusion of the fight Sullivan ran to his quatters at a lively gait, and laughing.He laid down a while a little out of wind, but there was not a scratch on him.He chaited pleasantly with his friends.The fighting was sho:3, tsherp and decisive on Sullivan's part throughout, Ryan showing weariness after the first round.The pugilists did most of their training in New Orleans and on the line of the Mobile Railway.Ryan's heightis 6 feet 23 inches ; fighting weight, 190.Sullivan, 5 feet 10} ; weight, 175, trained condition.Charles L.Davies, of Chicago, represented the interests of Sullivan\u2019s backer, McDonald, and W.E.Harding represented Richard K.Knox, Ryan\u2019s backer.Among the prominent backers of Sullivan were James B.Kenan, and Ed.McEvoy, the Boston athlete, Joe Goss and Wm.Emmett, of Chicago.Ryan had a host of supporters, one delega- \u2018ion from Troy pooling $2,500, and laying their money on the Troj:n.The fight was for the heavy weight champioaship of Ameriea and a stake of $5,000, each combatant dep: siting half.Governor Lowery's proclamation was directed to all the Sheriffs ot the Gulf counties, ordering them at all hazards to stop the fizht and organize posses for the purpose.No Sheriff had appeared, and no fears of official interference were auy longer entertained when therin ,.was pitched, \u2018 BYAN'S CONDITION.Immediately after fthe fight, Ryan was visited by a well-known physician with the intention of giving him medical assistance if needed.His pulse was normal, and the ckief injuries cousisted of a welt on the left side of the neck, where he had been struck a terrible blow in the second rouad, and gashed lips and cut on the eye, together with considerable contusions about the body.After examination, the doctor stated that Ryan was suffering from hernia, snd must have been in great pain during the fight.He advised him to forgake the ring.Ryan stated that he intended giving up pugilism, as he did not think he was suited by nature for that kind of business.He said he considered Sullivan a born prizefighter, and a very formidable opponent in the ring.Regarding his defeat, Ryan spoke very calmly, admitting he had been fairly whipped, but at the same time stating that he was sick during the night, and partially disabled early in the action by falling on his truss.He said he suffered great pain, and felt in no condition to fight, and, but for the fact people would have considered him a coward, he would not have appeared in the ring under the circumstances.Johnny Roache, Ryan\u2019s trainer, and W.E.Harding, representative of his backer, said they considered the fight a fair one, and had no complaint to make regarding the result.Fox lost $8,500.Between $100,000 and $200,000 are supposed to have changed hands on the result.From the start Sullivan acted on the offensive, attackink his opponent with violence amounting almost to ferocity, breaking down Ryan\u2019s guards with his terrific blows, and following up the attack by clinching and wrestling.There was apparently but little science displayed, the rounds being short and sanguinary, ending in a fall or knock-down.This plan of attack could not have been carried out for any length of time; but Sullivan\u2019s friends relied for success upon his quick work.Sullivan and party took an excursion train and came to the city soon after the fight.Ryan, Roache and Harding came to the city to-night, and leave for home to-morrow.** BECAME SOUND AND WELL.\u201d HATCHER S

Register \u2018 I would have accepted your kind invitation to visit you in your new quarters with pleasure before this, had not my old enemy, Mr.Rheumatism, pounced on me so suddenly.He arrived last Friday, and, without stooping to send up his card, rushed in and grasped me by the hand with such a grip that in a few hours my hand and wrist were 80 badly swollen and painful that I felt as though one of Mr.Hatch's coal teams had run over me.Mr.Rheumatism has been a censtant visitor of mine for several years; always swells and puts on a great many aire and makes himself at home, devouring my substance and leaving me poor in flesh and pocket.Last winter he came and staid two months.I then made up my mind that the next time he came I'would change his diet, as he al ¥ays gobbled down everything set before him.I was somewhat at a loss what to feed him with, but finally concluded to give him three square meals a day of St.Jacobs Oil\u2014morning, noon and night.This fare he is disgusted with, and is packing up his trunk and wili leave by to-morrow or next day ; says he cannot stop any longer as he has pressing business elsewhere.He is a treacherous fellow, and I have no doubt he intends visiting some of our Salem friends ;\u2019 if he does, just give him the same fare that I did and he won't stop long.J.S.Le- FAYOUR.G Goulding&Sons 15 do; Hou-ton, F&co 2 |: Sreamship Notices.Societe Postale Francaise del\u2019 Antique CANADIAN AND BRAZILIAN DIRECT MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE, The new steamship TANCARVILLE, Capt.Masson, having been delayed at Rio de Juneiro, her sailing from the West India Wharf, Halifax, is POSTPONED till TUESDAY, the 28th FEBRUARY, 1882, for the West Indies and Brazil, touching at St.Thomas (W.I.)

enable him to resume, or continu his policy of governing the count through the representatives of this Province and otherwise.Of course, na certainty can be arrived at in the matter, for future affairs so often depend on circumstances which cannot be foreseen that we may go more or less astmy in our calculations.We do not think, however, that we are far out in our reckoning, but time alone can decide that point.There is one important fact we have lately become acquainted with which may greatly alter the state of parties in the Legislatures in the course of time.An official return of the votes polled at the last general election in this Provinee proves that of the 97,653 votes given on the occasion, 51,975 were in favour of the Conservative candidates, and 45,672 in favour of the Libaral candidates, or not far from an equal division of the constituencies.This enumeration is widely different from the \u201c corporal\u2019s guard\u201d of which the Liberal party was said by the Conservative press to consist throughout the Province, as will be seen when the people are again appealed to.In the recent Quebec elections, the Liberals were at a disadvantage in every respect, outside the cities in which their candidates met withmark- ed success.The only exception was Three Rivers, Sir Hector Langevin\u2019s late pocket-borough-\u2014purchased with a Judgeship\u2014and even there the Conservative triumph looked more like a defeat than a victory.In the rural districts, where the Liberals believed that the Chapleau Government were sure to have a majority, they virtually allowed the elections to go by default.In consequence of this belief their organization was very imperfect, and they were unprovided with funds to meet the ordinary and legitimate expenses in such cases.So the Conservative success is more apparent than real, and is likely to be only temporary.It should also be taken into account that the rural electors have often long distances to travel, and that as the Liberals were generally hopeless of securing a majority for the time being, large numbers of them did not appear at the polls to record their votes.But they will be better prepared another time.Wa may here explain that, in speaking of the Dominion Government, we and others are in the habit of considering the Federal Premier as the embodiment of his entire\u201d Cabinet, which he actually is, for the set of colleagues with whom he has surrounded himself are little more than mere tools whom he employs to do his work and go his messages.Sir John Macdonald, therefore, is the Government, and the Government is Sir John Macdonald.It is with him, then, that the Liberals have to do, and a dangerous opponent they have always found him, and are likely to find him for some time to come.He is certainly a tough customer to deal with, as he might say himself.For purselves we regard him in his public capacity only, and to that we shall confine ourselves in reviewing his acts either now or hereafter.That we do not approve of his political acts we need not state.We are not unwilling, however, to admit that he is desirous to advance the interests of Canada, according to his lights ; but we are convinced that he has done much harm in his day, from which the country might have been saved, had he pursued a wiser and more enlightened course.In the art of Government he is a century at least behind the age.He belongs to the old Walpole and Newcastle school in England, but whose principles Walpole would repudiate if he lived in the present day.He believes that the end excuses the means, whether the end aimed at be good or bad.The actors in public life may be divided into three classes, the statesman, the politician, and the party man.Sir John Macdonald comes chiefly, if not wholly, under the last o these categories.He can claim no righf to be considered a great statesinan, at rank to which his admirers would elevate him ; he can scarcely be regarded, if at all, as an able politician, but he is without an equal or a rival in this country as a party leader, and it is to that quality he owes the success that has marked his public career.That he is entitled to the praise, whatever it may amount to, of a masterly party manipulator and manager, cannot be well questioned, and we do not dispute his claim to the distinetion.The brief Parliamentary history of this country affords few examples of this species of public men, and we must look for them in countries older than ows.In England, one of the best known among them is the famous Harley, who praised by most of the great writers of that classic era, by Swift among the rest.Yet Macaulay declares that Harley was designed by nature for no higher position than that of a gentleman\u2019s butler.But the most successful party leader that ever distinguished himself in English political lifo was the Duke of Newcastle, styled the fvolish Duke, also described by Macaulay, who says that his chief characteristics were low cunning and an insatiable love of office.Nevertheless, during nearly half a century he filled the highest places under the Crown, including that of Premier.No Ministry could be formed without him, or, if formed, could long withstand his secret or avowed opposition.The ablest men of a period remarkable for able men had to succumb to him, for he deceived aud overreached them all.In short, he was the ideal of a party leader, just as Sir John Macdonald is in this country.While saying so, we do not mean to speak disparagingly of the Canadian Premier, in so far comparing him to the Foolish Duke, for Sir John is certainly not foolish, whatever else he may be.But we are persuaded that if he bhad lived in England in Newcastlo\u2019s time, and had taken a part in public affairs, the Duke, who overcame the great Chatham, Sir Robert Walpole and Lord Carteret, with so many other able men, would have found Sir John Macdonald a very easy victim, clever though he undoubtedly is, in party intrigue and tactics.We have no desire to dictate, oreven to obtrude advice on the Liberals of Quebec, beyond our right to express an opinion concerning what we believe to be the interests of the party to which they and we belong.It is in that capacity that we point out to them that it isas a consummate party leader that they have to encounter Sir John Maodonald, rather than as a statesman, They have always denied his merits as a statesman by the simple fact of having so long opposed him and his policy, which they ought wot to have done if his claims to true statesmanship were well founded, which they certainly are not.If may beasked how itis that Sir John Macdonald has been so suc- cessfulas a public man, if it be supposed that he is not an able statesman or politician.We have stated that he owcs his success above all to his extraordinary dexterity as a party leader.It is due also, in no small measure, to his histrionic talents, which are of a high order.We will venture indeed seriously to assert that, if he had gone on the stage in early life, he would have been the first comedian of the day.Tm light comedy, as we believe it is called, Sothern would have been nothing to him.He pessesses that \u201c mystery of the body \u201d which distinguishes all great actors.No one pretends that Sir John Macdonald is an orator, but the very shrug of his shoulders draws from his followers in the House of Commons a storm of applause, while his slightest utterance or pun, which would be stale and unprofitable if coming from others, \u2018\u201c brings down boxes, pit and gallery.\u201d It is a thousand pities that Sir John missed his proper vocation in not donning the buskin, and none can have more cause to regret it than the people of Canada, especially as the histrionic somewhat questionable value.my THE COMING SESSION OF THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT.The Fourth Session of the Fourth Parliament of Canada opens to-morrow and Senators and Commoners are hastening towards the Capital.It is expected that the session will be an interesting one, as several measures of general importance are likely to be submitted.There is also an impression abroad that a general election will follow soon after the close of the approaching session, and both Opposition and Ministerialists will endeavour to define the issues to be voted upon by the electorate.A large part of the session will necessarily be devoted to legislation of a private character, A great number of new railway charters will be applied for, and amendments asked to some already in existence.It is, therefore, probable that an unusual amount of work will devolve upon the Private Bills Committee, as well as the Committee on Railways, Canals and Telegraphs.The question of legalizing marriage with the sister of a deceased wife will no doubt be again brought before Parliament at an early stage of the session, and possibly a discussion of the marriage laws of each Province may ensue.Recent judicial decisions have drawn attention to the fact that the condition of the law relating to marriage in this Province is far from satisfactory, and, if the Dominion Parliament has exclusive power to deal with all questions of marriage and divorce, we think some steps should be taken towards making the laws bearing upon these subjects uniform throughout Canada.Attention will also, we presume, be atiracted to the Boundary dispute between Ontario and the Dominion.Possibly an amendment to the Address will be moved in reference to that question, as the people of Ontario are anxious to know how many supporters of the Government will place the interests of their Provinee before those of party, and vote for handing over to Ontario the territory to which she is justly entitled.For several years the Government have been promising a Civil Service Reform Bill, but the question has been repeatedly shirked.It is possible that an effort will be made by the Premier this session to redeem his pledge, but we doubt if any measure will be introduced tending to restrict the power of Ministers to make the Civil Service a refuge for their needy friends and supporters.The Budget debate will doubtless be more than usually lively, for the Finance Minister has still a good deal wax Premier in the reign of Queen Anne, and who was flattered and three

io know that small merchants or housekeepers will not buy tea, coffee, or any other merchandise, in any considerable quantity, when there is a prospect of procuring them at reduced prices in the near future, ter of Finance that tea and coffee merchants are not entitled to any privileges which should not be extended, under the question of duty is definitely settled, drawback given to holders of

consideration, conclude to continue the tea and coffee -duties, and remove those on fuel and breadstuffs, the consuming classes of Canada will have claimed to be the most perfect piece of legislative mechanicism ever produced.Tea and coffee will now be placed on the free list, though there is, as yet, not much hope that the oppressive taxes on fuel and breadstuffs will be removed.' The justnoss of the demand made by the tea and coffee merchants for a rebate of duty will also, perhaps, come up for discussion.THE TEA AND COFFEE DUTIES, In reference to the memorial from the Tea and Coffee trade, requesting a drawback of duties paid on tea and coffee still in store, the Minister of Finance writes as follows :\u2014 Orrawa, February 4, 1882.Dear Sir,\u2014You say you cannot understand why tea dealers should not haye the duty they have paid upon teas returned, should tea be declared tree.It is not customary for any Government to refund duties to importers, when a rate is reduced, or duty entirely removed, and the only case of the kind of which I have any knowledge was in 1872, when the duty was removed without any notice whatever having been given.refunded duties, why should not importers of other goods to be made free be similarly dealt with?But that cannot be done.You seem to think it was not wise for the Government to declare in Parliament a year ago, and on all suitable occasions since, theirjintention of taking the duty off tea and coflee.The notice was thus given for the express purpose of placing dealers in a position to escape loss by giving free tea and coffee to the consumer.If you had been caught with a large quantity of daty-paid tea on hand, without any notice whatever, you might have had ground for complaint, but the course taken by the Government in your iuterest does not appear to be appreciated.If it was the wish of the trade gener ally, the change might be delayed a couple of months to enable parties to dispose of their stock out of bond, but the feeling is general to have the change bronght into eifect at the earliest day possible.The reflection upon our honesty in the matter might have been omitted in the closing sentence of your letter.I am, dear sir, Youre truly, S.L.TiLLy.Jas.Ruin, Esq., Montreal.In the above letter Sir Leonard Tilley betrays a lack of business knowledge which cannot fail to seriously compromise himself and the Ministry for whom he speaks.The present Finance Minister has been regarded by many as a sound commercial authority, but we fear he has now forfeited all claim to such distinction.Sir Leonard did not declare in Parliament \u201ca year ago\u201d that the duties on tea and coffee were to be removed.That information was imparted to the public during the recess.But had the Governmentgiven notice a year ago that the tea and coffee duties were to be repealed at the next Session of Parliament, the declaration would have proved even more injurious to the trade than the more recent announcement, for instead of a few months\u2019 stagnation in the tea and coffee business, the importation of those ar- whole year.Sir Leonard affirms that the objest of the Government in an-

doubts this Min- Had Sir Leonard is- Had he re- We agree with the Minislike circumstances, to other importers, and had it been prematurely announced that the tax was to be removed from fuel, cottons, or other dutiable goods, the importers of such wares, having stocks in store, would have had equal claims for a refund of duty.The interests of importers should have sdne protection at the hands of the Government, but the proposal to postpone the removal of the tea and coffee duties for \u201ca couple of months,\u201d would, if carried out, simply prolong the stagnation in trade for that length of time.No large transactions in tea or coffee can be made until Should the duties be removed and no duty-paid tea and coffee, such holders unjust treatment, Should the Government, on fur- If importers or brokers of tea are to be] THE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.The Parliament of Great Britain entered upon another session of legislative labour Yesterday.We were correct in our surmise that there was no foundation for the report that, in order to prevent a prolonged and obstructive debate on the Address in reply, the Speech from the Throne would be dispensed with.So far from rudely putting aside this time-honoured formality, the Speech itself is nearly half as long again as deliverances of the sort commonly are, and the topics dealt with are not touched on in the usual gingerly and ambiguous fashion.For once we have in a Queen\u2019s Speech a straightforward statement of Government policy and of the grounds on which Ministers claim a renewal of the confidence of Parliament and of the country.After the customary congratulations, Her Majesty announces the impending marriage of Prince Leopold with the Princess Victoria of Waldeck.This clause of the Speech is sure to provoke an animated debate, a6 it will presage a demand on the public chest for an annual allowance for the happy pair, and calls of this sort are very grudgingly acceded to in these economical times, The next clause, which affirms that the relations of Britain with allF oreign Powers are friendly, will be reassuring to the country if, on the fur nishing of the papers whioh are certain to be called for, they are found to be corroborative of it.There has been a good deal of diplomatic intercourse on grave maiters between the Powers of Europe since Parliament prorogued, and most of it of an unfriendly sort, and all the world will be curious to know how in the midst of these conflicting interests and dangers she has contrived to preserve friendly relations with them all.The peaceful cession of Thessaly to Greece is referred as a matter for felicitation.Egypt is next alluded to and a vigorous policy, conjointly with France, indicated.There seems, on the one hand, no likelihood of Great Britain relaxing the hold she has on Egypt, or of France breaking away from the obligations she entered into to act with the former, a thing which some looked forward to as ameng the consequences of Gambetta\u2019 fall.The restoration of peace beyond the North-west frontier of India and the resumption of works of public utility and development south of it are next referred to.The reference to the still unsettled condition of South Africa will lead to one of the most stormy debates or more likely a series of stormy debates within the mem-' ory of the present generation.Parliament is informed that the negotiations for a satisfactory readjustment of trade relations with France are still in progress.The country is congratulated on the improved prospects of the agricultural interest, \u2014an invitation to thankfulness which must on the delivery of the Speech have been roceived with a good deal of winching by the land-lords who are the main body of the Conservative party in Parliament, mostof whom will seize the first opportunity that offers of declaring that they have every reason to be ungrateful and unhopefui.The clause relating to Ireland shows no symptom of weakness.\u201c Perseverance in the course hitherto pursued,\u201d it is predicted, will be attended with \u201cthe happy results so much to be desired.\u201d This is a fair and bold challenge to the representatives of the party of agitation, who will without doubt scramble for the possession of the gauntlet thus thrown down.Our readers will find this one of the most interesting and suggestive paragraphs of the Speech.A measure to give local self-government to English and Welsh counties is promised, Other important legislation will be proposed by the Government.The session promises to be a stormy one.more rer ae TRADE WITH THE WEST INDIES.Barbados seems to get hardly its fair share of the benefits owing from the increase of facilities from the exchange of commodities with other countries.In one respect it is rather a loser than a gainer by it.The regular monthly mail communication afforded by the Quebec and Gulf Ports Steamship line has done a good deal towards developing the trade between the Windward West Indies and the United States, but Barbados, whence the markets of the former used to draw their supplies, suffers from the direct trade with the United States which has sprung up.It was hoped that the establishment of à regular steam line bé- tween Canada and Brazil would inure to the benefit of Barbados, as the ves- rels of that line in going in either direction have to pass the principal West India Islands, and actually steam through the harbour of Bridgetown.So far they have done so without calling, although they;might obtain there as much freight, suitable for the Canadian market, as they could find room for.Itisto be hoped that attention having been diracted to this fact, the efficiency of the new line will be increased by the establishment of regular communication with these Islands, which would lead to the foundation of an extensive and mutually beneficial trade.A Mixxesora scholar has undertaken to meet the doubts of such as find it hard to believe that the

constantly with an aggregate yield of from $80,000 to $140,000 per month.There is already enough ore accumulated in the galleries of the mine to keep the twenty stamps in operation for two years to come, Part of the ore is pure silver, and is found in fibrous masses which can be moulded by the hand into any shape without fracture.Tae place, which is 320 miles from El Paso, is difficult of access, 120 miles of that distance having to be done by pack.All the machinery for the mills had to be transported to the mines on the backs of mules.Tae New York Bulletin grows facetious over the fact that Scotch potatoes are being shipped to Boston and New York, aud ars underselling the native esculent.How did it happen, it is asked, that the Congressmen who made the present tariff protected everything except potatoes ?THE NORTH AMERICAN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.The proceedings of the annual meeting of this Company which took piace at Toronto a few days ago, will be found in the appropriate column.The Report embraces the first year\u2019s operations, and on a cursory glance at the statements presented we very gladly recognize the rapid progress of its business.The most notable fact we observe in the report is that while 85 per cent.represents the ratio of expenditure to income of all the Companies doing business in the State of New York, and in the Dominion 69 per cent., the proportion of the North American leaves for reserve 43 per cent.Of course we are aware that in the will be larger thar in later years; but the statement is strengthened by the fact that a very small amount remains to be written off for preliminary expenses, so small, indeed, #8 to be hardly worth mentioning, It is a fact worthy of special notice, as one of the claims of the Company on the patronage of the insaring public, that it has secured the largest premium income that has been acquired by any such Company during the first vear of its existence.And this new business, it should also be obrerved, has been secured at a cost of less than 50 per cent.of the premiums, while the average of otlier similar institutions for the past three years has been 70 per cent.Another feature of the year\u2019s busi- gratulated is that the Board of Direction are able to announce to the public that the assets stand to the liability to policy holders in the ratio of $3 to $1, excluding the unpaid portion of the Guarantee Fund.It is very evident that the institution has struck its roots firmly into the confidence and good will of the public, and that its business is in the hands of agents who bring energy and tact to the furtherance of its interests.The management is evidently economical and judicious, and at the same time vigorous, and the methods of business such as meet with popular favour.We have no doubt that in future years a statement will be presented which will be appreciated alike by both stock and policyholders.We commend the balance sheet and general returns for the year 1881 to intending insurers.\u2014e es Youxa men, and middle aged ones, suffering from nervous debility und kindred weaknesses, send three stamps for Part VII of Dime Series Books.Address

having been called to attend the deceased, bur, on his arrival, found him dead.From the appearance of the body he was of opinion that death was caused by submersion in the boiling soap, which pro- duted either asphyxia or congestion.Edward Smith, the foreman ot the works, gave the account of the accident, and testified that there was never any railing around the trap in the second flat, through which deceased fell into the vat below.William Freeman, employed at the works, gave cor- toberative testimony, This closed the evidence, and the jury, after deliberating for about half-an-hour, returned their verdict as follows :\u2014« That the said William Milligan came to his death by falling into a tank containing boiling soap, in Hood's Soap Factory, situated at No.57 Amherst street, in the city of Montreal, and that tbe death of the said William Millizan was caused by the neglect of his employer in not having a railing around the trap through which the deceased fell into the boiler in the said factory, and not otherwise.\u201d ONTARIO BOUNDARY QUESTION.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD.Sir,\u2014As the article in the Toronto Mail in reply to my letter in the Globe on the

Mechanics\u2019 Bank was held at eleven o'clock yesterday morning in the office of Mr.James Court, the assignee.Mr.James Court was appointed Chairman, and Mr.George Hyde, Secretary of the meeting.The SECRETARY then read the notice calling the meeting and stating its object to be the fixing of the remuneration of the assignee, inspectors, &c., and the ordering of the business of the estate generally.The CHAIRMAN read the following report of the affairs of the esiate :\u2014 To the Creditors of the Mechanics' Bank : I have the satisfaction\u2018 to lay before you the result till date of the winding up of this estate, which, it w.ll be seen, are beyond the most sanguine expectations.\"l'he total collections amount to $274,393, deducting from which $27,153 for Mechanics\u2019 Bank funds taken in settlement, and in so far reducing the claims, and $3,296 collected under the 40 per cent.liability, leaves a balance of $243,046.The payments have been wade as follows :\u2014Privileged claims to Molsons Bank, the Government aud others, $14,296 ; hypo- thecary claims due on real estate sold, $24,- 632 ; law costs and payments to counsel, insolvency expenses, notarials, printing, ad- vertsing, ete, $1,727; in all $47,173, leaving $196,773 fur distribution.Out of this three dividends, in all 45 cents, have been declared.amounting to $144,963, showing a surplus of $57,810, from which has to be deducted assignees\u2019 commission, inspectors\u2019 fees, aud some contingent charges.The assets remaining of any value consist: 1st.Of the claim against F.E.Gilman, Esq, fer $3,040, judgment for which was obtained against him in the Superior Court, but taken to the Court of Appeals, where the case has been argued, and judgment thereon ex; ected next moth.2nd.A claim for certain machinery at Calumet, estimated at $2 300.In connection with this asset, possession of which is being sued for, the contestant, Mrs.Thompson, filed a claim fur over $18,- 000, less the value of the machinery, being for alleged damages sustaired to her business from the closing of the building under a writ of insolvency, she claiming to be a tenant under a lease from Mr.Menzies.For the consequences of this stoppage, lasting about three weeks, of a business which had not been actually started, this claim of $18,000 for damages was filed by her against the Bank.The claim has been subsequently trausterred to William Bowden for a stated consideration of $4,000.It is expected that judgment upon this claim, which has of course been contested, will be rendered very shortly.3rd.The remainder of the uncollected double liability and bills discounted, including the claim against Mr.Menzies, the collection of all of which being more onerous than benefizial to the estate, should now be sold in accordance with the Insolvent Act.Before this is done, however, it is deserving ot cousideration if arrangements could be made fur \u201cthe sale also of the two litigous claims, the purchasers assuming the responsibility for the claim for damages above referred to.: Until this can be done a final dividend will Lave to be delayed.The claims proved against the Bank amount to $324.000, including an estimate of $1,770 for claims which may yet be allowed.In addition, there is the balance of unproved claims and outstanding bills of $19,521, very little of which will probably be claimed.\u2018There is also to be noted the contested claim of Mrs, Thompson referred to.The amount collected from shareholders for the 40 per cent.liability will be divided rateably among the claimants entitled to a share of it, on confirmation by them of the discharge given by the Assignee to the sharcholders who paid the amount.The only other matter to bring before the meeting is the probable final dividend.It will be at once seen that the exact amount cannot be ascertained until the remuneration of the Assignee aud (nspectors be fixe:l, the sale of the outstanding assets take place, and the claim for damages disposcd of.So far, however, as a careful examination shows, I feel justified in stating that a divi dend:of at least 124c.may be expected, with the probability of a little additiunal.Congratulating the creditors on the very successful results of the winding up of the Bank, I am respectfully, Jamrs Courr, Assignee.Montreal, February 7, 1882.Lieut.-Col.A.A.STEVENSON, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was exceedingly satisfactory, and fully justified the adoption of the course they had taken in winding up the affairs of the Bank.Had they followed any of the other courses suggested he was satisfied they would not have got over 20 per cent.They had already received 45 per cent., and they would now receive 124, which would make 574 per cent.They were greatly indebted to Mr.Court for the manner in which he had secured every dollar possible for the estate.Mr.Wu.STRACHAN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.The CHAIRMAN said he was glad that they had got on with as little litigation as they could have expected, and it had been with\u2019 great satisfaction that they could say that they had succeeded.Mr.W.Weir asked if the assignee had power to dispose of the balance of the assets ?Mr.J.J.MACLAREN, Q.C,, the estate's solicitor, replied that he had, but said the assignee would doubtluss be glad of the ad- | vice of the meeting.He referred to the suit for damages brought by Mrs.Thompson against the Bank,and the Bank's claim against Mr.Gilman, both of which were still before the Courts.The final dividend could not with propriety be declared until the suits against the Bank]were disposed of.The Bank\u2019s claim against Mr.Gilman he , thought could be sold at a small discount, 88 the judgment in the first Court was in the Bank's favour.A CrepiTo said that he kuew of parties who were ready to buy the Bank's claim agninst Mr.Gilman, even if it went to the Court of last resort, and be thought it would be advisable to sell it, with all the risks attending it.The CHAIRMAN asked if it was understood that the creditors would not blame them if - they did not declare a final dividend before these cases were settied ?Mr.W.J.INGRAM said the Thempson claim against the Bank might cause some trouble and delay, and asked whether no compromise could be arrived at?The CHAIRMAN said the Inspectors and \u201chimself would be very glad to take into consideration Mr.Ingram\u2019s suggestion, but said he thought it would be an undesirable precedent.There were some people who, if they gave them the ieast idea of doing that, would increase their demands.Any one who would bring an action for $18,000 bad to be approached very cautiously.His own opinion was to settle it if they could.Mr.STRACHAN Said he thought Mrs.\u2018Thompson would accept a reasonable com- Promise.Licut.-Col.SteversoN asked what had en realized of the claim against Mr.Menzies ?The CHAIRMAN replied that between $4,- 000 and $5,000 had been obtained from the Guarantee Company.Lieut.-Col.Stevenson brought up the question of the preferential claims purchased by a certain syndicate, or « swindle- cate\u201d as he sometimes called such bodies, who had collected moneys on them and refused to hand them iu to the assignee, ani asked whether this final dividend would debar their rights?This syndicate had collected $1,600 to bring some of the original creditors up.Mr.MACLAREN replied that the Act made a provision for that.Mr.INGRAM said there was a large amount of this 40 per cent.that Col.Stevenson spoke of.Mr.MACLAREN replied about 5 per cent.Ifthe 60 per cent.was exbausted they could then bave their fling at the a0 per cent creditors.Mr.WEIR, a8 one of the «swindlecate,\u2019 explained that they had Vought these claims in the hope of getting the estate.They had not got the estate, and they would only be willing to pay the $1,600, provided the others paid their 5 per cent.: After some warm discussion on the mater, Lieut.-Colonel STevexson said that the claims he represented were acknowledged on all hands to be privileged claims.He had bad an extended conference with these people, and they were determined to have these claims settled.The CHAIRMAN said this matter might be brought up before the Inspectors and the Assignee, and they would try to settle it.He would like to avoid.any litigation in the matter.Mr.STRACHAN suggested that they had better collect the five per cent.ali round.Lieut.-Col Stevessox said if a resolution Has passed to that.effect he would be satis- ed.Mr.Weir said that would have to be done at a meeting of the estate.Lieut.-Uol.STEvessoN did not think any of the creditors would be debarred from taking any action in the interest ot the estate.The CHAIRMAN said he did not see what effect any resolution would have.Mr.STRACHAN moved that the dssignee and inspectors be iustructed to collect this five per cent.to pay off these privileged claims.\u2018The CHAIRMAN said hothing would be done that would injure these privileged claims.He would like to have a meeting afterwards and have them settled peaceably.Mr.STRACHAN then withdrew his motion, and the subject dropped.The question of the remuneration of the assignee then came up, and Mr.Weir said that as a retribution for his having opposed the appointment of Mr.Court, it fell to him to acknowledga that he was wrong then.He had had mure opportunity, perhaps, than most of the creditors of seeing what the \u2014assignee had done, and he must say that no money consideration could remunerate Mr.Court for what he had done for them.He said that while they could not afford to be liberal, as they had lost so much, they must be just, He would move « that in view of the remuneration fixed by the Insulvent Act, there be paid to the assignee for all services in connection with winding up the estate the sum of $8,000.\u201d Mr.Syudxs seconded the motion.Mr.INGRAM moved that $500 should be added to the amount, with the suggestion that it shoul 1 be given to the Messis.Hyde, who had rendered such invaluable services in connection with the estate.Mr.MacuareN bore testimony to the assiduity and diligence of the Messrs.Hyde in looking after the Bank\u2019s affairs.He said they could not have shown more diligence had it been their own business.\u2018The CHAIRMAN said it would be a great pleasure to him to hand over the $500 to the Messrs.Hyde, one of whom had been with him 21 years.1t was accordingly resolved to award the assignee $8,500 for his services, with a recommendation that the $500 be handed to the Messrs.Hyde for their valuable assistance.Mr.Weir said he also had had occasion to look into the business that the solicitor of the Bank, Mr.Maclaren, had done, and he must say that althouôh he had had a large amount of trouble ju advising the affairs of the Bank, his charges had been very reasonable.On motion of Mr.INGRAM, secended by Mr.LiCHENHEIM, à hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr.Maclaren tor the manner in which he had, without any undue litigation, administered the legal affairs of the Bank .After some discussion, it was resolved to grant $500 each to.the Inspectors, Messrs.Buchanan, Trottier and Joyce, and $250 extra to Mr.Joyce for extra services rendered to the cstate.It was also resolved to grant $150 to Mr.Ingram for his preparation of an estimate of the estate on behalf of the creditors.After votes of thanks to the assignee, the inspectors, and the Messrs.Hyde, the meeting adjourned.CIVIC AFFAIRS WATER COMMITTEE.A meeting of the Water Committee was held yesterday afternoon.Present\u2014Ald.Donovan (Chairman), Allard, Gilman and Proctor.\"The meeting was the last of the year for the present Committee and the members were very hilarious, whether over a sense of approaching victoy or not it is hard to say.No business of importance was transacted.A letter was read from Mr.Alex.Pigeon.207 and 209 McCord street, claiming damages owing to the flooding of his cellar by the bursting of the water pipe on the 1st of February.The matter was referred to the Superintendent.A communication was read from the Bell Telephone Company offering to connect the City Hall with the Water-Works.Left over.The Committee adjourned.RAILWAY COMMITTEE.A meeting of the Special Railway Committee was also held yesterday afternoon.Present-\u2014Ald.Fairbairn (Chairman), Watson, Mooney, Allard and Gilman.\u2018I'he CHAIRMAN, before the meeting opened, said they had ordered a survey under Mr.Ansley, the City Surveyor.The Superintendent of the Water Works, Mr.Kennedy, the Harbour Engineer, and Mr.Smelliv, Consulting Engineer of the Canadian Pacific Railway.This had occupied some time, and a very extensive survey bad been made.The report and plan bad been submitted at one meeting of the Committee, but its consideration had been deferred.A meeting had been called for this purpose, but had to be adjourned for want of a quorum.He thought that they should make all possible baste with so important a matter.Before the report was considered he had two suggestions to make.First, that in the matter of railway privileges any avenue or opening should be on a broad basis, broad enough tor four tracks at least, and that they should give no exclusive right to any one Company ; and secomdly, that unless it was unavoidable they should permit no level crossings.Several members of the press being present, the question whether the press should be admitted to the meeting or not wag raised.Ald.GimaN thought that as tho report bad been made public, the press might as well be admitted.Ald.Moonky thought that as the previous meetings of the Committee had been private, they should continue to keep their meetings so, and that nothing should be made public until some definite understanding was arrived at.Ald.DoNovaN agreed with Ald.Mooney.He thought that only the result of the discussion, and not the discussion itself should be mads public.This being the opinion of the Committee, the press accordingly withdrew., The report was then takea up for discussion.®EPrs's COCOA.\u2014URATEFUL AND LOMFORTING.~4 By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of diges tion aud nutrition, and by a careful application ot the fine

TAScHERBAU.The first sitting of this Court was held yesterday in this city in the Court of Appeals.His Lordship took his rest upon the Bench at 11 o'clock.The first cause was a Petition of Right in the steel rail contract.Mr.Ferguson, of Ottawa, and Mr.Join 8.Hall, jr., represented the suppliant, and Mr.C.P.Davidson, Q.C., and Mr.Hogg, of Ottawa, appeared for the Crown.; The circumstances under whic the petition was brought were as follows :\u2014In the month of July, 1875, the Canadian Government ordered for the Canadian Pacific Railway some 50,000 tons of steel rails in England.About 35,000 tens of this order were expected to be shipped to this country during that season, and to arrive on the wharf at Montreal.Mr.Morin, broker and agent, was appointed to act as shipping agent for the Government to do what was necessary in the reception and disposal of these raile.In consequence of the lateness of the season the rails could not be used for the railway that year, and consequently the late Mr Sippell, then eugi- neer of the Lachine Canal, was instructed to prepare a suitable place for the storage of the rails.That place was the Rock Cut, Lachine, and it was prepared with timber beds by Mr.Conway, the Superintendent of the Canal.An advertisement was issued by Mr.Morir, asking for tenders for the carrying of the rails from the wharf at Montreal to the Rock Cutting, and it was ultimately awarded to Mr.Patrick Kenny, the suppliant, at 80 cents a ton.Subs quently a notarial contract was entered into between Mr.Morin, acting as the agent for the Minister of Public Works, and Mr.Kenny, by which the latter was \u201cto remove and carry * * * all the steel rails that are actually or that will be landed from sea~ going vessels on the wharves of the harbour of Montreal during the season of navigation, and deliver and lay on the ground the said steel rails at the place commonly called the Rock Cut on the Lachine Canal.\u201d The suppliant avers that he was led to believe that there would be some 30,000 tons of steel rails to move, and with that understanding made arrangements, such as buying derricks and engaging barges and labour sufficient to move that quantity, thereby incurring considerable expense.He carried on the work until the 27th September, when Mr.Morin was instructed by the Department to send no mole of the rails to Lachine, but to send, through the agency of Mr.Stewart, the remainder to Ringston.At that time be had only moved about 11,000 tons of ¥ails, and he new petitioned that he might be paid for the loss incurred by the cancellation of the contract, and special damages for the expenses to which he had been put by arranging\u2014according to his understanding of the arrangements\u2014for 30,000 tons.The main question in the case was, whether the Government were bound by any representations that might have been made by Mr.Morin differing from or inconsistent with the terms of the contract itself.There was alsc a subsidiary question as to how far the petitioner had been damaged by the slteration in the destination of the rails, oo .ThZ first witness called on behalf of the suppliant (Mr.Patrick Kenny) was himself.Mr.Davipson, betore he was sworn, took the objection that as the centract, upon which the proceedings were based was made in Quebec, the Court, according to its own rules, was bound to hear,the case under the laws of the Province of Quebec, by which the suppliant would be debarred from giving evidence in his own bghalf.Mr.FerausoN contended that, although as a matter of convenience the contract had been made in Montreal, yet it was really made with the Minister of Public Works, and through all the preliminary proceedings the case had been treated as an Ontario one, and as governed by the Ontario law, which would admit of the suppliant being heard on his own behalf.His LorpsuiP overruled the objection and allowed the evidence of Mr.Kenny to be given.Mr.Kenny, having been sworn, testified té the particulars of the case as given above.\u2018 0 The évidentë of Mir: Moriil was also given as to the terms and orders under which he acted as shipping agent.The Court adjourned at one o'clock, and, on reassembling, Mr, Parks was called and testified that he was a forwarder, and knew that Mr.Kenny had a good reputation in that line of business.Knew that Kenny owned some barges in 1875, and that he had a contract for moving rails.Thought there would be a profit of 30c to 55¢ on the conveyance from the port of Montreal to the Rock Cut.Kenny had four derricks to facilitate the work, Thought they would cost about $200 or $300 each.The cost of barges that season would be about.$8 or $9 per day, includingthe wear and tear.Heard that Kenny's contract was cancelled in September of 1875.It would be difficult at that season ot the year to fill any other contracts.The barges would have required recaulking to carry grain, which would have cost about $600 or $700.Cross-examined-\u2014Knew that Kenny had three or four barges of his own.The price of the hired barges would depend upon the size.It would take about 10 hours to reach Lachine by Canal.Keuny\u2019s barges were of à good size, carrying about 175 to 200 tons.Tuos.FANNING sworn\u2014Testified that he was a stevedore and worked for Kenny in 1875.Loaded the barges and received the, rails from Mr.Morin.Never had to wait for any.Kenny had four barges of his own and hired four or five others.Hell a sub-contract to load the barges at llc.a ton.Did not hear Mr.Morin mention the number of tons expected to be shipped.Kenny had five derricks erected at the Cut.They would cest about $200 to $300 each.Charged Kenny a little over $300 for his claim, which was paid.Mr.RAPELLB sworn\u2014Stated that in 1875 he was checker for Kenney ; he was now a clerk in the Post-office.Mr.Morin, before Kenny had made a tender for carrying the rails, stated in witness\u2019 presence that there would perhaps be about 5,000 to 30,000 tons of rails to move, and that the accepted tender would move all.Cross-examined\u2014There were about eight or nine hands employed loading these barges.This closed the evidence for the suppliant and the evidence for the Crown will be continued to-day at eleven o'clock.The Court adjourned at four o'clock.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 I.0.0.F.OPENING PARLOR SOCIAL OF MIZPAH LODGE, NO.3.The opening parlour social of Mizpah Lodge, No.3, t 0 0.F., which was held in the Lodge room, 662} Craig street, last evening, was a decided success.The Chair was occupied by Mr.P.A.Crossby, N.G., and there was 8 large attendance of the members and their friends.After a few words of welcome from the Chairman, Miss Beauchamp gave a piano solo, which was very artistically rendered.Au address was then delivered by Brohe would like to know of an Association that yielded to its members, and through its members to the community, more real and substantial benefits than Oddfellowher orphan children were cared for and educated to fill positious suit.d to their stations in society, when they were provided with situations whereby they could earn a livelihood for themselves.The laws of the Order poritively furbade \u2018he entrance of any man within its pale whe did not maintain a good moral character.He cave an able exposition of all the great principles of the Order, and concluded by saying that the end aud aim of Oddfellowship was to elevate the moral standard in the public mind, to sweeten the cup of life, to ease the bed of death, to make the bed good, and the good better.The great Heaven-born principles, Friendship, Love and Truth, must be held inviolable or no positive happiness in this world could ever be found.A comic song was given by Mr.Beauch:mp, which was greeted with hearty applause ; then followed a duet, \u201c Where the Rippling Streamlets Flow,\u201d by Misses Crawford and McDonald, which was well rendered, A flute solo, \u201c Cavatina de la Straniera,\u201d by Bro.A.A.Maver, P.G.; song, \u201cSing, Sweet

close.The greater part of those present then adjourned to the hall below, where dancing was kept up till the wee sma\u2019 hours, to the excellent music turnished by the Italian orchestra, while others enjoyed themselves at parleur games in the Lodge room.AMUSEMENTS.THEATRE ROYAL.DALY'S FIFTH AVENUE COMPANY.Miss Helen Blythe will appear in Hast Lynne At the Royal on Thursday evening, suppoited by a Company of excellent artists.Kast Lynne is a highly popular drama, and as \u201c Lady Isabel\u201d Miss Blythe appears to advantage.\u201c Pique\u201d will be given on Friday evening, and of Miss Blythe\u2019s performance iu Toronto the Mail said :\u2014In the role of «Mabel Renfrew\u201d Miss Blythe has demonstrated that she is a genuine artiste\u2014that she is a lady who has acquired by patient study a thorough knowledge of dramatic art, and that she possesses the ability or talents necessary to turn that knowledge to full account.The char- acte is one requiting emotional power of a high order, and, when 1t is said Miss Blythe fills the role in an admirable manner, it will be understood she is possessed of that quality in an eminent degree.When the lady was here before, her acting, while showing great promise, was crude and to some extent amateurish.Now, however, she has greatly improved, and comes before us a finished, graceful, charming actress, thoroughly fulfilling the promise of her earlier years.Her rendering of \u201cMabel Renfrew\u201d was all through a praiseworthy performance, one which, while reflecting the greatest credit on herself, shows she has been careful to study in a good school.From the beginning she was natural, and çonsequently impressive and foreible, ACADEMY OF MUSIC.& A CHILD OF THE STATE.\u201d By our New York exchanges we see

length.He dwelt on the merits of the Bill, avoiding all reference to the disallowance of the Act of last session.He pointed out the immense importance of the lumbering interest in Ontario and the necessity for such a Bill.He spoke of _the interpretation given to the Statute passed in 1849 by the Court in the case of Boale vs.Dickson having been reversed by the Court of Appeals, which held that the Act of 1849, allowing timber to be floated down streams in times ot freshets, applied to all streams and not to those alone which were in a state of nature floatable.He dealt with the objection that the compensation im the Bill was not adequate.But they had allowed for the cost of construction, interest and for the cost of maintenance, and what more he asked ceuld they do?The objection that the Bill was .retroactive he showed to be in itself unfounded, because there was hardly a session of the House but such legislation was enacted.He concluded by saying, \u201c we have considered the Bill fully and finding that it is within the competence of the Legislature to pass it, and finding that it is necessary in the public interest, we deem it our duty to re-enact the Bill, throwing the responsibility and odium ot an unjust interference with private rights on hon.gentlemen opposite and on their friends at Oftawa, where it belongs.\u201d (Cheers).Mr.Meredith attacked tie principle of the Bill, on the ground that it was an uncalled for interference with private rights without proper compensation.He denied that the streams referred to in the Act ot 1879, were other than natural highways.He thought it an erroneous proposition to allow a man relying on the decision in Boale vs.Dickson, given 18 years ago, to expend large sums on improvements and then atep in by Act of Parliament and give the public the same rignts and privileges with the owner.He protested against that Chamber being used to overturn the decisions of the Courts Ly a partisan majority.Under that system he said no man would be secure in his property.He admitted the right of the Legislature to ap- propriaté private property to the public use and its right to pass retroactive legislation, but only when imperatively demanded in the public interest, and then with full compensation.He denied the right of the Government to transfer the use of the property of one private citizent to another.He declined to consider the judgment ot the Court of Appeals in McLaren vs.Cald- ship.Their Institution watched and well, and took the view that the Bill not guarded the widews of her departed sons ; being in the public interest, nor providing ! due compensation, it should not pass.He concluded by stating that if the Government stood by tue views thev expressed in 1874, they must advise the Lieut.-(}overnor to reserve this new Bill for the considerition of the Governor-General, and also that if they did not, it was the duty of the Lieut.- Governor to reserve it.! Mr.Mowat rc plied at considerable length and with effect, pointing out that dr.Meredith seemed to apply the provisions ot the Bill to Mr.McLareu, whereas it was to apply to all streams \u2018and not to auy particular individual or stream.Messrs.Morris, Lyon and Lees spoke briefly, and the Bill was read a second time without a division.À Bill to provi-le for the csustruction of Water Works in towns, cities and villages, generally, was read a second time without debate.The House adjourned at 5.35 p.m.IMPRRIAL PARLIAMENT.\u2014_ FULL TEXT OF THE SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.Loxpox, February 7.\u2014Parliament reassembled to-day.The Queen's speech is as follows :\u2014 My Lords and Gentlemen : It is with much satisfaction that I again invite your advice and assistance in the conduct ot public affairs.I have given my aporoval to a marriage between Prince Leopold and the Princess Helen, of Waldeck.I have reason to believe this will be a happy union.I continue in relations of cordial harmony with all foreign powers.The Treaty for the cession of Thessaly to Greece has now been executed in the main provisions.The transfer of the sovereignty and occupation was effected in a manner honourable to all concerned.In concert with the President of the French Republic, I have given careful attention to the affairs of Egypt, where the existing arrangemeuts have imposed on me special obligations.I shall use my influence to maintain the rights already established, whether by Firmans or the Sultan, or by various international engagements, in aspirit favourable to the good government of the country and the prudent development of its institutions.1 have pleasure in informing vou that the restoration of peace beyond the northwestern frontier, together with continued internal tranquillity, plentiful seasons and increased revenue, has enabled my Government in India to resume the werks of public utility which were suspended, and devote its attention to measures for the further improvement of the condition of the people.A convention with the Transvaal has been ratified by the Representative Assembly, and I have seen no reason to qualify my anticipations of its advantageous working.I have, however, to regret that although hostilities have not been renewed in Basutoland, the country still remains unsettled.Gentlemen of the House of Commons : \u2018The estimates for the service of the year are in an advanced stage of preparation, and will be submitted te you.My Lords and Gentlemen : My communications with France on the subject of a new commercial treaty have now been closed.\u2018These will be presented by me, as I have already acquainted you with my desire to eonclude a treaty favourable to extended intercourse between the two nations, to whose close amity I attach so great value.The trade of the country, both domestic and foreign, forsome time has been improving,and the mildness of the winter has been eminently suited to farming operations.Better prospects are, I trust, thus opened to the classes immediately concerned in agriculture.The public revenue, which is greatly though not always at once, affected by the state of industry and commerce, has not yet exhibited an upward movement in proportion to their increased activity.The condition ofgIreland at this time compared with the beginning of last year, shoWs signs of improvement, and encourages the hope that perseverance in the course you have pursued will be rewarded by the happy results so much to be desired.Justice has been administered with great efficacy, aud intimidation which has been employed to deter occupiers of the land from fulfilling their obligations and trom availing themselves of the Act of last session, shows upon the whole diminished force.My efforts through the bounty of Providence have been favoured by an abundant harvest in that portion of my Kingdom.In addition to the vigorous execution of the provisions of the ordinary law, I have not hesitated, under the painful necessity of the case, to employ largely the exceptional powers entrusted to me for the protection of life and property by the two Acts of last session.You will be invited to deal with proposals for the establishment in English and Welsh counties of local self-government which bas so long been enjoyed by towns, with enlarged powers of administration and financial changes, which will give you an opportunity of considering Ytoth as to town and county what may be the proper extent and most equitable and provident form of contribution from the Imperial taxes in the relief of local charges.These proposals, as far as they are financial, will apply to the whole of Great Britain.It will be necessary to reserve the case of Ireland for separate consideration.In connection with the general subject of local administration, I have directed a measure to be prepared and submitted to you for the reform of the ancient and distinguished Corporatien of London, and for the extension of municipal government to the metropolis at large.Bills again will be laid before you with which during the last session, notwithstanding the length of its duration and your unwearied laovours, it was found impossible to proceed.I refer particularly to those concerning bankruptcy, the repression of corrupt practices at elections, and the conservancy of rivers and the prevention of floods.Measures will also be proposed to you with respect to the criminal code, and the consolidation and amendment of the laws affecting patents.Interests of some portions of the kingdom have suffered peculiarly of late years from the extreme pressure of public business on your time and strength, but I trust during the session you may be able to consider tho Bills which will be presented to you in relation to the law of entail and the educational endowments of Scotland, ani to improve the means of education in Wales.I commend these and other subjects with confidence to your care, and it is my earnest prayer your wisdom and energy may, under the blessing of God, prove equal to the varied and increasing needs of my extended empire.HOUSE OF COMMONS.In the House of Commons, Bradlaugh advanced to take the oath.Sir Stafford Northcote moved that he be not allowed to swear.Bradlaugh, at the request of the Speaker, withdrew, asking to be allowed a hearing before the question was decided.Sir Wm, Harcourt moved the previous question.He advised the House that as Bradlaugh had been admitted to affirm, subject to the decision of a Court of law, he be now allowed to swear similarly.The proposition was received with ironical cheers.Northcote's motion was adopted.Bradlaugh \u2018ad lressing the House from the bar, declared most solemnly that the P.rlia- mentary oath would be binding upon his honour and conscience.Mr.Gladetone maintained that the House \u201ccould only sec that the formalities of ad- ; Ministering the oath were observed and j could not inquire into Bradlaugh's opinions.| Afier the vote was taken the Speaker ordered Bradlau:h to withdraw.He at first | refused, but withdrew upon a motion ordering him to do so, which Mr.Gladstone said he would not oppose.Sexton gave notice of a Bill to repeal the Coercion Act., The Speaker read a letter from Forster infcrming him of th: arrest of certain Irish members of the House.Dwyer Gray (lIome Ruler) moved that the letter be referred to a select Committee.He contended that the Coercion Act bad been violated.Mr.Gladstone oppored the motion which was rejected, 174 to 45.HOUSE OF LORDS.i In the House of Lords, the Marquis of Salisbury made a violent attack on the Government.Granville replied .Lord Salisbury said Gladstone's utterances in 1880 and the recent conduct of the Government regarding Turkish affairs, tended to separate England from Germany.He ho} @.1 the Government would co-operate with the Sultan and France, as long as their lines of Policy were parallel, but would reserve the liberty to diverge when the interests of the Eust prompted them to act differently.He deprecated the policy of neutralization on the Panama Caual question.He declared the unexampled rtate of affairs in Ireland would not have been allowed to exist in France or America for six months.He considered the Royal speech as an exhortation to persevere inthe course previously pursued, which is to let anarchy have its way and oder a sop to these whem we hope to conciliate, because we are unable to conquer them.He concluded by sayicg that the country expected the Government to meet the calamity of which the doctrines they Lave preached have been the cause.Earl Granville replied that the present condition of Ireland compared favourably with that during the last year, and quoted statistics to prove the truth of his statement.The Government relied on the beneficial effect of the Land Act.The Government policy in Egypt was the maintenance ot the rights of the Khedive aud the liberties of the people.Although some intervention might be necessary, the Government was able to co-operate with other Powers to prevent the necessity of forced intervention.An address in reply to the Queen's speech was agreed to, THE EGYPTIAN IMBROGLIO.Loxpon,.February 5.\u2014A Cairo correspondent writes :\u2014Though I cannot say that the situation has as yet materially improved, it seems to me that there are various indications pointing in tne direction of a not unfriendly settlement of the main points in dispute.I have had the opportunity of discussing with many influential men here, of all shades of opinion, the various aspects of the crisis, and they concur in thinking that, unless something very unexpected occurs, a compromise ought to be, and will be, effected.One fact is certain\u2014that the Khedive is anxious to arrange a compromise with the Chamber of Deputies with reference to the demand to vote the Budget.The proposal is to the effect thal the Chamber shall nominate a number of Deputies corresponding in number to the members of the Government and the Controllers General, and that they shall participate in fixing the Budget items.Whether this partial proposal will be accepted or not is at present uncertain.What seems to me more important is that the general political tone has been considerably lower in the last forty-eight hours, and that many high - flown pretensions are no longer pressed, In a state of things where a single rash act or foolish speech might provoke not merely an emeute, but a revolution, it would be unwise to assume a too confident tone.Nor is it easy to explain in so many words in what particular respects the situation may be said te have improved.But my impression distinctly is that, in the absence of the unexpected, the wobst of the crisis is over, and that what remains to be dealt with ought not to bz beyond the reach or a clever and conciliatory diplomatist.BERLIN, February 7.\u2014According to the view entertained in influential quarters here, the dissatisfaction felt in London and Paris at the Turkish note will not be shown in the rejuinder of the Western Powers to that communication.IL is contended here that the note of the Porte was fully justified, and that the action of England and France was indefensible.Their right to financial control in Egypt, it is argued, gave them uo claim to interfere as they did.In any case, it is held here that a final settlement of the Egyptian question must be the work of the European concert.All that the Westers Powers have succeeded in doing is, according to the German view, to have roused the opposition of the Mahometans and excited the agitation prevailing throughout North Africa.The Porte believed that the Western Powers were completely isolated, and hence the sharp style of the note in which she ventured to address them.Moreover, Turkey had arrived at the conviction that England and France would not, after all, actively intervene if things became really serious, and the Khedive were placed in difficulties by the National party.In Berlin n is still repeated that England and France cannot be allowed to seitle the Egyptian question by themselves, and that he other Powers will not remain quiet if they should attempt to do go.Influential persons here, moreover, anticipate that the Anglo-French entente will come to an end as soon a8 England clearly recognises what they regard as the fact\u2014I mean that France all through the business has only been endeavouring to dupe and overreach England; for if an active intervention took place, the French are persuaded that being the great military Power they will be able in the end to secure to themselves the lion\u2019s share of the spoils, whatever shape they may take.It is, however, hoped that, after the experience of the Gallic faith in Tunis, England will not allow herself to be ensnared in fegard to Egypt.Prince Bismarck, Iam informed, has not replied, and will not reply, to the Turkish answer to the joint note, on the ground that it 18 only addressed tothe Western Powers.The sequel of the Egyptian question is awaited here with the greatest composure.ViENNA, February 5.\u2014I have authority for stating that neither Austria nor any.other Power has issued any circular in reference to the differences between the Porte and the Western Powers on the subject of Egypt; nor has any fresh Turkish circular reached Vienna.; ; The progress of the Egyptian question is being attentively watched here, and an exchange of opinions is going on between our Foreign Office and friendly Powers { reference to the course of procedure to ! adopted undsr certain eventualities.This however, is all that is being done here in the matter at present, Roue, February 5.\u2014The Osservatore spealts of secret encouragement being given to the Egyptian National party frum gome other Power besides Constantinople, and rays the divergence between France and England is continually increasing.The Opinione, remarking the extreme imprudence and multiform mischief of this identical note to the Khedive, and the danger to England from her association with France, strongly blames the weakness, irresolution, and moral cowardice of the English Ministry in its foreign policy, and unfavourably contrasts it with that of Lord Beacousfield.a CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.Cuicaco, February 7.\u2014 Larry Murray and James Rice, notorious cracksmen arrested, coufess fifteen burglaries here.Gouds worth $8,000 have been recovered.Norpock, February 7.\u2014~The sloop \u201cDrummond

Buffalo, until Ma.ch 24.MOORISH LAW AND JUSTICE.\u201cI DO NOI' PRAY TO THE PROPHET OR ANYBODY ELSE.\u201d CASABLANCA, Morocco, Dec.25.\u2014On tke 16th of the present month a dispute arose between two Moors in the grain soco (market) of this place.The victim in the case is called Herisi, who was negotiating for wheat with a seller of that article.The price charged being above Herisi\u2019s figures, he set about manœuvring to bring the article to what seemed to him nearer its real value.To which the seller replied, \u201cSlaa El Ennebe\u201d (prayers to the prophet), a common expression among Mohammedans.Herisi reaponded, \u201cI do not pray to «he prophet or anybody else.\u201d To this the fanatical seller replied, «I shall inform the Shraa (Moorish Tribunal, a Court where Europeans often have to appeal for justice) of your sinful expression.\u201d The seller reported without delay to the Cadi (Judge) the disrespectful remark of Herisi, and he, witheut further ceremony, sent two soldiers and arrested Herisi, and when brouglit before His Sapient Lordship the prolimin- aries were short and decisive and without commiseration.THR BASTINADO.The examination of the case commenced with the final decision, which occupied only about four seconds of time, and consisted in ordering the soldiers to give him 600 hundred lashes on the soles of his bare feet, inflicted with a stubbed rawhide, adapted to administer severe punishment.The order was at once carriea into execution.In this caseas well as many others a good dinner is followed by a choice desert, and in the absence of anything exotic cayenne pepper was substituted, in conformity with the orders of the Cadi.His mouth and throat was scrubbed with the warm prescripivion ill blood ran freely, this moilifying dose being administered to the full satisfaction of the affectionate Cadi, and the victim during this operation being totally unconscious, baving undoubtediy had the last morsel of feeling taken out of him with the rawhide persuader.TIED TO A DONKEY.*The affable Cadi then ordered what was left of Herisi to be tied to the back of a donkey and promenaded all through the streets of the town, which order was also carried into execution.In these cases, which are not at all unfrequent, the victim is exposed and subject to whatever ill and brutal treatment the prowling profligates feel disposed to inflict upon him, and Herisi, in his unconscious state, lashed to the donkey\u2019s back, was hooted through the streets, stoned, beaten with sticks, spit upon and completely plastered with the most filthy porqueria they could obtain, of which there is no lack in the streets of Casablanca.In this state the victim was again presented to the Cadi, who, finding that there was life still left in him, ordered him thrown into a pit made under gronnd, in which all cages of extreme bid character like the present are the victims consigned with seven months added to the charm.MRS.PARTINGTON SAYS, Don't
