Parliament.HOUSE OF COMMONS.> Orrawa, Feb.15.The SPEAKER took the chair at 3.20 1m.P Several petitions were presented.Sir JOHN MACDONALD laid on the table the report of the Committee appointed to strike the Standing Committees.NEW BILLS.Mr.BEATTY introduced a bill entitled, An Act for the discharge of past.insolvencies.The bill was read a first time.He also introduced a bill for the equitable distribution of insolvent estates.He explained that it was similar to the bill he had introduced ou the same subject last sassion.It provided that when a man was unable to discharge his liabilities he might o into insolvency, and ; that the estate should be equitably divided among his creditors.It did not permit of any preferential claims, THE NORTH SHORE AND INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY.Mr.LANDRY asked whether the Government have come to any understanding with the present proprietors of that part of the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa & Occidental Railway, now more particularly known under the name of the North Shore Railway, in relation Jto the construction of ferry boats to ply between the terminus of that railway and that of the Intercolonial Railway, and what that understanding is ?Sir CHARLES TUPPER replied that no understanding had yet been arrived at on that subject.PUBLIC RETURNS.Sir S.L.TILLEY laid on the table the Public Accounts for 1882 and the Auditor- General's report.- Mr.BOWELL laid on the table the Trade and Navigation returns for 1832.The House adjourned at 3.35 p.m.PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE.Second Session-Fifth Parliament, .LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.QUEBEC, February 15.The Speaker took the chair at 3.15 this afternoon.Sveral petitions were presented, amongst others one by Mr.Shehyn from the Municipality of St.Sauveur, praying for incorporation as a town.NEW BILLS.Mr.Robertson introduced a bill to change the name of the Oxford Nickel and Copper Co.Mr.Poupore introduced a bill to enable the Rector and Churchwardens of St.James\u2019 Church, Hull, to sell certain immovable property and invest the proceeds thereof.Mr.Watts introduced a bill to divide the electoral district of Drummond and Arthabaska in two electoral districts.THE C.P.R.TRAIN SERVICE.Mr.Marion moved for copies of all correspondence 1especting the fulfilment of the condition contained in the deed of sale passed between the Government and the Pacific Railway Company.He called attention to the irregularity of the train service on the Laurentides Branch, quoting from the contract made with the Government to show that the Pacific Railway Company was hound to run a train each way daily.This had not Leen so far the case; buf he hoped the Government would see to the due execution of the contract.Mr.Joly said the complaint was carrying out the predictions made by the Opposition last session when they had said that the Pacific did not require the branches of the western section of the Q., M., 0.& O., which were, however, forced upon them by the Government.Mr.Monsseau said the matter had been considered by the Government, who had called the attention of the Pacific Railway to the question, and had received assurances that the contract would, in future, be faithfully adhered to.i Mr.Mercier wondered why these instructions had only just been given, instead of some months ago.Mr.Mousseau said the matter had only lately been brought under the attention of the Government.Mr.Mercier said the Government must have Leen aware that the local press had been complaining of the matter for five months past.Mr.Mousseau said the Government was not supposed to take any action on complaints of the press so long as the people Interested appeared satisfied and made no representations to the Government.So soon as they made such representalions the Government took immediate action.SETTLERS\u2019 GRIEVANCES.Mr.Richard moved for copies of the correspondence, documents, &c, respecting the promise of a grant of certain land lots made to Mr.Couter, of St.Doucat, County of Montcalm.He explained that the Government, by one of its ministers, had promised to the party named in his motion some 13 or 15 lots of lands if he succeeded in opening up a certain settlement in the county.Mr.Couter had settled some families on the land in question, but the Government had not complied with the conditions to which he assented.He argued at length that the duty of the Government \"was to exercise a paternal care over colon- 1zation, especially in new districts of the country.; Mr.Flynn said that the pretended claims of Mr.Couter had received the attention of the Government of which he had been à member and reports on the matter were ordered by his Department.Mr.Blanchet said it was only a few days since this matter had oecupied the serious attention of the Government.The mover of the resolution and the House might rest assured that the Government would never be found wanting in its duty towards colonists.TRE REPLY T{ THE ADDRESK.Before proceeding to the Orders of the Day, Mr.Mercier said he wished to raise a question of privilege.On the 22nd of anuary last fhe address in reply to the Speech fom the Throne was adopted by the House, the usual committee being strucl to present it to the Lieut.-Governor.From that day to this the Government, who, upon their own showing, were only a ommittee of the House, and, as such, bound to execute its orders, had not reported in any way whether the Address been presented or not.This was altogether unusual and unconstitutional.He, therefore, offerc®® a motion censuring the conunittee for not reporting His Honour\u2019s reply or the grave reason for which he had refused to reply to the House\u2019s address.Mr.Mousseau said that he admired the dignified and sertous air with which the Pposition leader lectured the House and usurped the function of the government.Ministers thoroughly understood and had IN no way failed in their constitutional parliamentary duty.As soon as the Address Was engrossed they had communicated with the Lieut-Governor and had appointed a day with him for its presentation, But unfortunately on that day through sickness or ~ some other cause His Honor was absent and since then he had gone to Ottawa and liad not yet returned.Mr.Flynn said that he would vote agaiust the motion in consequence of the explanation of the Premier, showing that ministers could not be held responsible for the delay, owing to the physical impossibility of obtaining an answer from the Lieut.-Goveruor.Mr.Joly said the Premier could not leave any responsibility upon the Lieut.Governor.He must take it all upon his own shoulders and he was surprised at the ground taken in the matter hy the member for Gaspe.~ Mr.Irvine said it was perhaps very unimportant in some respectf whether an answer was ever received from the Lieut.- Governor but the matter was different when the principle involved was taken into consideration.He protested against Mr.Fiynn\u2019s assertion that the Premier was not responsible for whatever omission had occurred, even for the absence of the Lieutenant-Governor.If that absence affects us the Premier must be held responsible.The Lieut.-Governor may be responsible to the Federal Goverument, as fully exemplified in the unjust dismissal of Mr.Letellier, which was so fully explained by Mr.Flynn himself some years ago.He would like to be informed 10w the Lieut.-Governor could possibly Le absent from Quebec, while the Legislature was sitting, when the Constitution laid it down in etrict térms, that he was an integral portion of it.Even the estimates which they hoped to be able to consider at some distant date could not be taken up without a message from his Honor.This message might just as well be sent from England or the United States as from Ottawa, which was equally beyond our limits.\"It may be the Address and reply are mere empty forms and should be dune away with, but while they remain a part of our system they must be correctly observed.The invariable custom was to receive $his reply early in the session.When he was first a member of the House it was a custom for the members to go in a body, \u2018headed by the Speaker and attended by the mace on the shoulder of the Sergeant-at- Arms, to present the Address in reply to the Speech from the throne to the Lieut.- Governog in person.He could only conclude, when he called to mind the fact that the Address, which had not yet been presented had been passed three weeks ago, that the House had been treated with very slight consideration by Ministers, even though they might have intended no affront to it.Mr.Stephens said there must be some mistake about this affair.The document mist surely have been a very heavy one.It was pleaded that the Governor Lad been ill, yet several members of the House had been invited to dine with his Honor since the Address had been voted.It might be said that this business was all a matter of form and he hoped that it would lead to reform in the office of the Lieut.-Governor, which now cost us $20,000 to $30,000 a year.He believed all the work of the office could be done for $2,000 a year.If they could get along so well without the Lieutenant-Governor for such a length of time he submitted to the House whether his services could not be entirely dispensed with, and an annual saving effected of $31,000, which meant the interest on $500,000.In reply to Mr.Blanchet, who defended the conduct of the Government, Mr.Marchand asserted that it was not the Opposition but the Government who had introduced the name of the Lieutenant-Governor into the debate to take shelter behind it.Mr.Desjardins, seconded by Mr.Flynn, moved an amendment that the House is satistied with the explanations of Ministers and passes to the order of the day.Mr.Cameron said it was notorious that for days after the passage of the address the ieut.-Governor was at Spencer Wood, and that the responsivity tut 1s vuu=pac sentation, therefore, did not lie with lum, but with the Government.Mr.Robertson remarked that the Government had no doubt been careless in the matter, but if they were guilty of nothing worse this session, he, for one, was willing to pass this matter over.r.Gagnon argued that the Lieut.Governor did not yet constitutionally know whether his Ministers had the confidence of the House or not, and that the House could not vote the supplies to the Government under tae circumstance.Mr.Irvine thought if the Government told the House the real reason why the address had not been presented, instead of getting one of their friends to move an amendment to shirk the question, it would be much wore satisfactory.The truth was that minds of men were so much troubled with other matters that they had altogether forgotten about the address.Mr.Wurtele said it was nonsense to pretend that the Lieut.-Governor was constitutionally not aware that the Ministry possessed the confidence of the majority of the House when its proceedings from day to day were regularly transmitted to His Honor whether he was in Quebec or not.The oniy loss the country had suffered in the whole of this matter had been the loss ot a whole afternoon ta the House in discussing the trivial question rajsed by the Opposition leader.; \u2018After remarks from Mr.Asselin, Mr.Mercier said the tone the discussion had taken reminded him of the verdict of the jury who declared the prisoner ¢ not guilty, bot that he should not do it again.\u201d That was really the position in which the Government were placed in this matter by their own followers.He went on to argue that the excuse offered by the Government for the failure to do their duty was lame and unsatisfactory.Ministers could find the Lieut.-Governor when they wanted to get a message from him to the House, asking for the supplies, aud it was very strange that they could not find him under other circumstances.He also complained generally of the unreadiness of the Government r.Desjardins spoke in support of his amendment until six o\u2019clock, when the House closed.: AFTER RECESS.Mr.Desjardins, continued in support of his amendment and was followed by Mr.Marchand, who referred to the records of the Legislative Council to show that the Lieut.-Governor replied to the address of that House on 2nd February, and could have equally replied to the address of the Assembly if Ministers had doue their duty.He moved in amendment to the amendment * that the explanations of Ministers cannot be accepted; by those explanations it is admitted that the order of this House was executed, and that the address has not yet been presented to the Lieut.-Governor, owing t® his illness ; that it appears nevertheless by the journals of the House that on 31st January last, nine days after, and on 5th February instant fourteen days after the House voted the address, the Lieutenant- \u2018Governor transmitted messages to the House, proving that in those days his Honor was not absent from Quebec nor incapacitated by sickness from signing messages; that it appears moreover by the votes and proceedings of \"the Legislative Council that his Honor transmitted a mess age signed with his own hand to that ouse on the 2nd of February, thanking it for its Address in reply to the Speech.\u201d The debate was continued by Messrs.Irvine, Watts, Blanchet and Mercier until after nine o'clock, when Mr.Marchand\u2019s amendment was put and lost on division.Mr.Desjardin\u2019s amendment to the main motion, proposed by Mr.Mercier, being carried on the same division.to go on with the business of the country.|.The bill to amend the charter of the City of Hull then passed its third reading, and the bill to incorporate the Rimouski and Gaspe Railway its second reading.Mr.Mousseau moved that afier Thursday next all Government measures take precedence.The motion was passed.On the order tor the third reading of the bill to aid the maintenance of common goals, Mr.Gagnon objected that this bill was irregular, as it involved new taxation and should have been introduced by a message from the Lieut.-Governor.After some discussion a correction was made to meet Mr.Gagnon\u2019s objection and the bill was read a third time and passed.The House then adjourned at 10.15 p.m.Erps\u2019s Cocoa\u2014GRATEFUL AND CoM- FORTING.\u2014\u201c By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws

nevertheless, for the satisfaction of having the lunatics at Beauport, near Quebec, the seat of Government, the Province pays for 650 of them $43 per head more than there is any occasion to do, à nice little item of $27,950 per annum uselessly taken out of the Treasury.Desides, there are a number of others for whom $32 too much is paid.Here then is a chance for economy, other conditions being equal, and here is a sum of money saved that would \u2018materially help the Treasurer in maintaining the equilibrium between re- \u2018ceipts and expenditures.Mr.Mousseau has declared that the administration is but a committee of the House.In this admission we find a still further reason why any arzangement for the future should be submitted to the members before being resolved upon.The Government of which the present is the lineal descendant, and the legitimate heir to everything, bad as well as good for which its predecessors were responsible, will not, it is to be hoped, particularly since Mr.Mous- \u2018soap has so much protested, seck, as jhad before time beer the policy} te \u2018ignore its duty to the House and, with] lout consulting it, ratify a fresh don-° tract, no matter how advantageous it may appear to be.The Province has -to determine upon the course which it will adopt for a few years to come, If \u2018the Government proposals are such as shall commend themselves, we are certain that the members will not fac- tiously oppose them.The House was, however, elected to direct and supervise matters of this kind and it will be an usurpation of its functions if Mr.Wurtele or Mr.Mousseau should undertake to arrogate to themselves their powers and prerogatives.An honest and businesslike proposal will be dealt with in a proper spirit, and, we hopo ere long to hear what the Government is going to do about it.ASSIMILATION OF THE FRANCHISE.In the Speech from the Throne at the opening_of Parliament, a measure respecting the assimilation of tho franchise throughout the Dominjon was foreshadowed.As this is a reform in the right direction, we must give the Government credit for-what our American cousins call \u201csmartness\u201d in stealing the thunder of their opponents.If they provide the country with a good, simple, and workable law, we shall not complain; though they and their supporters will, as vsual, claim all ghe oredit for passing a measure fouced upon them by public opinion and tne arguments of their opponents.In of yoters, as ig all jother questionsghe Reformers have ever been in advance of the honourable gentlemen who at present cocdpy the Treasury benches, and if the latter now see fit views long ago advocated by o fiefs, we can only congratulate thom on their conversion, and express the hope that they may not disappoint the people by bringing downa half-and-half measure.At the Quebec conference the franchise was one of the details talked vver, bu as it was not a matter of vital import ance it wag allowed to remain in abeyance, with the understanding that the system of voting then in force in each Province should remain undisturbed until the introduction of a new system applicable to the whole Dominion.Though changes have since heen made b y in the manner of voting, and even in D\u201c the qualification of voters in somo of the Provinces, the arrangement is still the same ; and the result is anything but satisfactory.What the count£y wants is a uniform law, a uniform system.The franchise'should be the same in every part of Canada, so far as voting for members \u2018of the House of Commons is concerned, no matter what the losl qualifications may be.Under.the present gen d'young man fn Ontario who, as a Tarmer'\u2019s son, \u2018has the right to vote, would be left out in.the cold, were he to move into Quebec\u201d and occupy a corresponding social position, This is absurd, and the sooner a\u2019change is made the better, In making this change the Government cannot the pcsition of the Prowingg, that is farthest advanced in = this respect, otherwise they would disenfranchise, without good cause, à large number of persons.whe agg ROW on the voters™ist.We havë no means of knowing what the programme of.tho Government is; but no doubt it will not vary greatly.from thes(Qntario law, though we hope it will go even a step farther.A few years ago when farmers\u2019 sons, residing on the homestead, and nop yeb holding: property-in their own right, were enfranchised, the sons of mechanics, merchants and professional men, living in the towns and cities, contended, certainly not without reason, that they had been sligntel or overlgokedy If a young man in the country could give an intelligent vote, they held that surely his cousin in the city was quite as capable of doing so, and might with equal safety be trusted with the ballot, Mr.Mowat admits this now, and there is every realon fo believe, from what has been said on \u2018the platform during the\u201cpresent campaign, that at the next session of the Ontario Legislature a bill will\u2019 be passed extending the franchise to those who now demand it in the centres of population.While we do not advocate universal suffrage, we bolieve that a measure somewhat similar to thet now in force in Ontario, with amendments in the direction indicated, would prove acceptable to the people.Confer the right to vote on the sons of farmers by all cans, bat at the same time grant the same privilege to young men in our towns and cities.In these days of schools and colleges there are few men who have not received a good education, whereby questions relating to the qualification | Lpdmity when large imports of feod had \u2018situation.-adopt lof Winnipeg the prices of a few ar- .12¢.Potatoes are the only dear article movo backward ; they must approach | opinion for themselves on the questions that come up from time to time for public discussion.Surely their voice should be as loudly heard as that of the illiterate man who, knowing perhaps little or nothing of one party or the other, has the right to cast his ballot, simply because he pays a few dollars a year in the way of rental, or is the freeholder of a small piece of land.\u2018We would not go so far as to insiston an educational qualification (it is a farce where it is in force in some portions of the United States) but we do hold that young men of education,who are earning their own living, and have; an interest in the welfare and prosperity of the country, should no longer be kept away from the ballot box.We have got beyond the days of property qualification for Parliamentary purposes.So far as Municipal elections are concerned, that is another matter.The taxation of our houses and lands is the question then directly involved, and those who own the property should be the persons to say who shall have the management of civic affairs.But when we come to select those who are to represent us in Parliament, the people \u2018of all classes, degrees and creeds, should have their say.Tle governments of all constitutionally ruled countries are finding out this fact.Before the session of Dritish Parliament which was opened yesterday, comes to the end of Rs work, it is almost eexfain that \u2018the agricultural laborers, who have been kept down for centuries, will have conferred on them the same right at the polling booth as the lord of the manor.This is one of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s promised measures of reform, and he is certain to carry it out.The Ottawa Government have before them a clear field.They have ar opportunity of doing the country a great service in sweeping away the present incengruous system, and astablishing in its place a sound, common sense law that will have force in every part of the Dominion.A somi-official announcement is made to the effect that it is their intention to bring down a bill exceedingly liberal in character Let ue hope that this may.prove to be the case, and that hereafter our young men of all classes shall have a voice in deciding the affairs of the nation.LIVING IN MANITOBA.A great deal of gross misrepresentation is made, presumably by interested parties, about the cost of living in Manitoba and We dare say, luxuries are more expensive, bütt what we are more concerned in is the cost of living to the farming and travelling communities.* Almost every conceivable article of food is raised im the.eountry wow,and of the finest too.Two years ago of course there was an immense difference, we to.he wale, hat if is eniirely differant pow;

but the whole of the business of the Society has been managed during these years by Donald Peddie for his brother, who seems to have given him half of his salary.The directors exonerate the Doctor from any connection with the ¥raud\u2014rather sympa- they are enabled to form an intelligent the North-West, |.ito be somewhat disturbed just now.va THE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, FRIN*Yÿ FEBRU lieve him of hixlegal responsibility.Donald, it was supposed, had gone to Spain, but he was lately reported to lave been buried in the Potter's Field at Philadelphia.He was 74 ycars of age.THE London Times, in a five column article on the diplomatic correspondence of Prince Bismarck says that of \u201call ambassadors, Americans ave probably the best.With them diplomacy is a profession, but not one that requires any pre- EHminary training and outfit beyond the Possession of an educated, open mind with manners, if possible, in accordance) aud a secing eye.Their idea of the re- resentative or honourable-spy function Is the true one, as any one may convince himself by turning up a volume of their \u2018Foreign Relations.\u2019 Nothing is too small for them to make note of.Nothing escapes their observation, and whatever they observe they report.\u201d This may be true or it may not ;

At the second meeting, because they called Upon me again, lagain said I did not desire to be re-elected, but they said they would - elect me whether I wanted it or not.I then told them that I would consent upon \"titis gondition, that thoge gentlemen who \"asked me to come out, and who had signed Mr.Bulmer\u2019s requisition (and there were Rgeveral of them), should withdraw their vr \u201c\u2019biguatures from it.This condition was accepted, and that is the reason I am again à candidate for the Mayoralty of the City f Montreal, and Thope this will be the last time.(Laughter; cries of \u2018\u201c no, no; not thuch ; you will die in harness, Beaudry.\u201d) #7111 4id not sign Mr.Bulmers requisition, it was because on previous occasions when Mr.Bulmer was Chairman of the Road Committee, in \u201964 and \u201965, I had some remarks then to make about him which displeased him then very much, but these sremarks I then made are just as fresh upon my mind to-day as they were then.e question that I brought up was, that all or nearly all the bricks furnished the city came from Mr.Bulmer, except those on Colborne street.And the question of the drain making I also brought up, and I said, and I believe now, that many of the accidents which have taken place\u2014for example, in Bonaventure street, where the low ground was flooded\u2014was through the breaking of the drains.Now these drains 1 found out, because I am in the habit of visiting the work that is being carried on for the city, were not constructed accord- .ng to the =pecifications of the engineer of lhe city; the specifications required that they should be a foot thick all round, but instead of that they were only four inches and, as a consequence, the drains burst and flooded the vicinity.The same thing applivs to the Ontario street drain, and it was me who detected the manner in which the work of the city was being carried out, when Mr.Bulmer was Chairman of the committee in charge of the work.That is one reason why I refused to sign Mr.Belmers requisition; but there 1s another.Mr.Bulmer has denied having had any connection with the meeting of magistrates which took place on the 5th of July.1878.Now any vue can see for himself, by referring to the rewspapers, that Mr.Bulmer not only had connection with that meeting, but also that he was present at it himself, and at that meeting ke showed that he was rot in favor of preserving the ace of the city, and of protecting the ives of the citizens of Montreal.This was at the meeting of magistrates who had assembled to discuss the question of the 12th of July, 1878, and at that meeting Mr.Bulmer was cunning enough not to show his hand; he was cunning enough and shrewd enough not to sign the requisition himself, calling out the troops on the 12th of July, but what did he do?He got magistrates from outside of the city to do it, and they signed the requisition, and you all know what happened.The troops were oalled-out; they came from the country and.trom the city of Montreal not to protect the citizens, because we know from what the volunteers said before they left Sherbrooke tiiat \u201c there would be plenty of empty hats to fill that night in Montreal.\u201d No, these troops were not called out to maintain the peace, nor to protect the unfortunate young men who were upstairs in the Lodge room unable to go home.Had there been any disturbance or any fray that day there would have been very little protection for the citizens from these troops, but I was there, and I maintained the peace.Not on behalf of aay one section, but in the interest of the whole city at large.These young men who were confined in their Lodge room I sent home in cabs in the evening, and I thank God that I was able, as I did, to prevent bloodshed on that day.These are the reasons why I am not in favor of Mr.Bulmer.Mr.Bulmer has written to the papers denving this, but I will prove it after he has spoken, by the newspapers themselves.\u201d MR.BULMER\u2019S ADDRESS.Mr.Henry Bulmer also was received with much enthusiasm in coming forward said.\u2014 GENTLEMEX,\u2014I appear before you as a candidate for the Mayoralty at the request of a large numbez of citizens of all classes, nationalities and creeds.Last year the present Mavor stated from this platform that if re-elected then, it would be his last term.He has publicly repeated that statement on various occasions.To myself he has given his assurance that he would not oppose my election.It is with surprise, therefore, that I find him opposing me to- dav.Mr.Beaudry has had recourse to an old story of over twenty years\u2019 standing to oppose me with, but I am not ashamed of my recoad and not afraid to have it published.Iam proud of the measures that were passed when I was on the Road Committee.(Hear, hear.) I can refer with satisfaction to.the widening of Notre Dame street, which\u2019 to-day is one of our finest thoroughfares aud a credit to our fair city.(Hear, bear.) Iam also amazed and astonished to hear that he charges me with having been desirous of preventing the peace during the unfortunate troubles of that celebrated 12th of July.To all and every one of those charges I give a full and emphatic denial.(Hear, hear, and cheers.) There is not word of truth in it.(Applause.And I challenge him to prove it.\u201d (Hear, hear.) He made this statement once before in the cars in the presence of several of my friends, amongst others Mr.B.Rolland, and am sorry he is not here to prove it.I then challenged him in the presence of these people to prove it, aud that was not many weeks ago, to prove it, and I dared him to search the records of all the newspapers in the city, French and English, to corroborate what he said.More than that, I told him if he could prove any one of those charges, that I would at once resign my candidature (hear, hear.) Itold him to employ any one he liked to enquire into this in order to prove the charges, but he declined, and merely said that he was under that im- ression.Well, gentlemen, I 2gain chal enge him before you all to-day to prove these charges if he can.(A voice\u2014\u201c He can\u2019t do it.\u201d) And if he is desirous of knowing the truth, he will find in connection with the meeting he refers to that I was opposed to 1t, that I disapproved of it, that it was called without my consent, and that I did all in m power to cou- ciliate the bad feeling whic h existed at the time.I stated at the time, as I sat alongside of my friend Alderman David, that I disapproved of it, and if he were to-day he would bear me out.in what I say, that I expressed the opinion that the proper parties to keep the peace were the Mayor and Corporation.(Great applause.) What common honesty or fairness is there, then, in Mr, Beaudry making such charges against me?I ask you, gentlemen, if it is fair, if it is honourable.~(* No, no.\u201d) I would not have consented to accept the nomination unless I feit I had the support of all the different sections fof the community.The requisition showed me that [I had thatsupport.By a tacit understanding it was generally agreed, as a change had to be made, that 1t was the turn of an English-speaking Mayor.It was gratifying to find so large a num- Ber of my French-Canadian and Irish Catholic friends, with whom I have always lived on good terms, did me the honor of signiny my requisition, slong with so many of my own co-religionists.-1 accepted the requisition, and I now respectfully ask the electors for their votes and influence.I gm well aware of tlie onerous nature of the duties devolving upon the Mayor of = large city like this, L would not ~¢ my own will have sought the position, but if I am elected, ! gnall always endeavor to perform those duties in the best of my ability, and in a maaner that will reflect no discredit on your choice.\u2018I helieve there is a bright future for this now prosperous city, and it should be thqjdgsire of all to unite all our energies 10° promote its\u2019 advancement, (Cheers.) I am aware that the Mayor has not the controlling influence in the management of the city\u2019s finances, but 1 shall always be willing to advise the judicious and economical use of our resources.If I am elected, gentlemen, I shall earnestly endeavor to do my duty faithfully ; and in all questions that I can influence I shall do what I consider will be for the best interests of the city at large, irrespectively o nationality, creed or sectional interests.assure you further that I shall always use whatever influence I may have to promote harmony and good feeling among all classes of our mixed community.Should I be honored by your confidence as the result of this election, I shall hope to retire at the end of my term of office with the good opinion and respect of all our citizens of every origin.(Great applause.) Mr.Beaudry, holding a file of the HeraLD in his hand, here came forward and read from it the report of the proceedings before a meeting of magistrates on_the 5th of July, 1878.\u201c Here is what Mr.Bulmer then said,\u201d remarked Mr.Beaudry.< Mr, Bulmer thought that no action should be taken unless at a meeting where all classes of the community were represented.\u201d (Loud cheers and cries of \u201c That was square\u201d) | Mr.Beaudry (seeing his mistake) : \u201cSup- posing \u2014 (Cries of \u2018\u201c No suppositions.\u201d) Mr.Beaudry, continuin#, endeavoured to show that the Protestant magistrates, being in a minority ut the meeting in question, wished to adjourn it untul a larger Protestant vote could be obtained, but his remarks were received with derisive cheers.He then made a few re marks in French.Mr.Bulmer also addressed a few remarks to the electors in French, which were well received.Hon.Senator Thibaudeau was the next speaker.He spoke against raising the nationality cry.It had been said by some that duzing the past two or three months an underhand influence had been at work to get the majority for the French-Cana- diaus in the City Council.He protested against this as untrue.He opposed r.Bulmer, because in his opinion le was a political candidate.He had no objection towards Mr.Bulmer as a geutleman, but because he had managed to make himsslt highly objectionable 19 the French Canadian portion of the community.The French Canadians were ready to supportan English candidate : they acknowledged that it was an Englishspeaking citizeu\u2019s turn, but they did not intend to accept = aman who was objectionable to them.There were plenty of men that could be brought forward such as the Morrices, the Gauits, and the Mackays.Mr.Bulmer, had asked him to prove the allegations brought against him, but he had always neglected to de so, as it was a very delicate question.However, now that he had been put at defiance, through the press, he was prepared to speak.Mr.Bulmer was accused of having ordered the French flag to be taken down from a on the Exhibition Grounds in September, 1880, and he [the speaker] now had in his pocket the necessary document to establish the fact.The Minerve had said that it was a Dutch flag very much resembling the French flag.However, he was sure that Mr.Bulmer had ordered the flag down, because he thought it was French.One, Mr.Turgeon, had stated at the time through the columns of Lo Patrie that he was present when the thing was done.Mr.Thibaudeau again said that Mr.Beaudry had not broken his word as alleged.He had been forced to come forward, especially at the instance of Mr.Globensky and himself.He contended that Mr.Bulmer had no right to order down their flag, and said that was one of the reasons why they opposed hima.Mr.Beaudry remarked that Mr.Bulmer had ordered Mr.Gingras, one of his employes to take the flag down.Mr.Bulmer said there was no foundation whatsoever for this story.The French flag, after it had been put up, was found to be reversed, and it was taken down and replaced.Mr.P.Pelletier, advocate, then attempted to speak in French, but did so with much difficulty, owing to the noise ôf the crowd.He referred to the regrettezl death of the late Ald.Laberge, and to the fact that the Hon.Mr.Beaudry was the only one of the Corporation who purposely stayed away from the funeral.(Cries of shame, shame.) Mr.Pelletier endeavoured to proceed,but could not, owing to the great tumult among the crowd, which continued for some moments.Hou.Senator Thibaudeau again came forward, and attempted to speak in French.Mr.Pelletier\u2014 You have no right to speak.I have not had my turn.If they won\u2019t hear me, they won\u2019t hear you.\u201d Hon.Senator Thibaudeau, (addressing the electors)\u2014\u2018\u201c Will you hear me for five minutes.\u201d (Cries of no, no).Senator Thibaudeau, (continuing) \u2014 \u201c Well, look here, I am speaking for both candidates, (Cries of no, no.) The Hon.Senator endeavoured to continue his remarks, but his voice was drowned amid the perfect babel of voices among the electors who were evidently not favourable to Mr.Beaudry\u2019s caundida- turc.The tumult continued for several moments.Hon.Senator Thibaudeau maraged to make himself heard, and said, © Mr.Bulmer and myself have decided that we will settle the matter through the newspapers, consequently there is no reason why the meeting should be continued.(Cries of three cheers for Bulmers).Mr.E.K.Greene then came forward to speak in favour of Mr.Bulmer, and immediately the din ceased.Mr.Greene said that Mr.Beaudry had conducted the affairs of the Council well, and he gave him credit for it, But he had had his fair turn.(Applause).He referred to the greatness of Montreal.And what he wished had made the city great.It was by all nation-' alities working together in harmony for the general good (applause).When Mr.Nelson came forward Mr.Beaudry had opposed him because he could not speak French.Aud now it was asserted that if Mr.Gault or Mr.Morrice came forward they would not be opposed.But why, if this was the case, should they oppose Mr.Bulmer when he was endured by these gentlemen.He spoke against raising the question of nationality as prejudicial to the general welfare of the city.Mr.Greene having concluded, Hon.Senator Thibaudeau again attempted to speak for Mr.Beaudry, but again failed.Hon.Senator Thibaudeau (addressing electors), ©\u201c Will you hear me for one minute?\u2019 (Cries of no, no; sell out; Beaudry).; .Mr.Thibaudeau (in despair), Well then, \u2018gobtlemen, ll ng! speak.Good day\u201d The meeting was then brought to a termination with enthusiastic cheérs.for Mr.Bulmer, after which the gathering dispersed.THE ALDERMANIC

adjournment.There were present, Mr.L.H.Davidson (in the chair), and Messrs.Doherty and Glackmeyer.Dr.Robins continued his evidence, as follows ;\u2014 PRODUCING EXHIBITS.I produce, first, the reports of the l\u2019ro- testant Board of School Commissioners, from 1847 to 1871, as Exhibit G ; secoud- ly, report of same Board from January, 1872, to January, 1876, marked Exhibit H ; thirdly, regulations for city schools of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners, Exhibit I; fourthly, a state ment respecting the rtion of the Protestant schools of ontreal, dated 1878 as exhibit \u201cJ\u201d; fitthly, the curriculum of the two highest classes of the Common Schools being the programme of the Seniof school, as exhibit \u201cK\u201d; sixthly, prospectus of the High School for girls, 1882-83, as exhibit ¢ L\u201d; \u2018seventhly, prospectus of the High School for boys, Montreal.as exhibit \u201cM.\u201d Ialso produce duplicates of the monthly reports of the High, Senior and Common Schools for January 1883, with summary ; also the pay lists for the same for January 1883; also lists of free pupils attending such schools, and reports of attendance in the schools for the year ending 30th June 1882; and a summary statement respecting free schools, marked as exhibits from 1 to 37.Among these documents are two statements of accounts for December 1882 and January 1883, such as are rendered every month.THE BOARD REPLIES, I produce and fyle the statement of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners in answer to the letter signed \u201cJ.R.Allison,\u201d referred to at the first session, madtked Exhibit ¢N \u201d and on behalf of the Commissioners 1 would say that the writer of the leiter should Le subpænel and examined, if he can be found.FREE EDUCATION.There is no rule allowing any member of -the Board to obtain free education for his children.In the High and Senior Schools, children of employes pay half fees, and in the common schools fey are admitted free.COST OF SCHOOLS.I would like to make the following statement wifh regard to the cost of school erection in city of Boston was a Latin and English High School in which, in 1881, there were about 650 pupils, which cost $750,800, which is nearly twice the cost of all the school property of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners of Montreal.COST CF EDUCATION.The cost of education to the tax ef the city of Boston in the High School of Boston was $90.50 per head.In the grammar schools it was $29.36 per pupil per annum, and in the primary schools $18.15 per pupil per annum.There were 51,412 pupils in attendance, the ordinary expenditure for the instruction of whom was $1,559,677.51, and the total expenditure $1,775,037.16, theze sums being Ireespective of interest in school buildings.The total value of school property in Boston is $7,466,650, or $145 per pupil in attendance.The Government of Quebec nominates thirty free scholars to the High School.This idea grows out of the old High School arrangements.The Goverment has a right to nominate these pupils without consultation with the Board; but as a rule they accept the suggestion of the Board.There is a grant of $1,185 from the Government, whieh is, so to speak, the school fees of these pupils.The Commissioners pupils are promoted for proficiency from the common schools under the control of the Board, the condition being that they shall have answered correctly 75 per cent.of the questions put at the April examinations and more special ly 75 per cent.of the questions in Latin and French.Mr.Robins will conclude his evidence at the next meeting.Mr.Henry Evans, of this city, account- tant to the Protestant Board of School Commissioners, was sworn and said :\u2014I have been accountant to the Protestant: Board of School Commissipners of, Mont- | real for six years and a half, now past.I produce a statement showing a summary showing the cost of all the school property belonging to the Protestant Board of School Commissioaers, up to the 30th June, 1882, marked Exhibit \u201c0.\u201d Said statement shows the total cost of land, buildings, furnitare, etc., besides other general information.I produce also a statement showing details of expenditure on the High School building, specially marked Exhibit \u201cP.\u201d This shows the expenditure on the said building, furniture and land, up to 30th June, 1882.I am aware that the building was erected by contract, the amount whereof is mentioned in the statement as well as the amount paid for extras.I have given notarial copies of contracts which the Board may examine, as also receipts for all the amounts mentioned in said statements certified to by the clerk ot the works, John Chester, who was not in any way connected with any of the Board; but which I do not wish to part with as they form part of my records.ohn Chester had $3 per day and re ceived nothing else that I am aware, except inwork he did himself.I am quite.sure the amount of extras mentioned in said statement is correct as per vouchers in my profession.I produce printed statements of expenditure and revenue from Ist of July, 1876 up to 30th June, 1882, marked \u201cQ.\u201d These are the continuation of the printed statements in the previous reports fyled \u2018by Mr.Robins.I produce also a statement of the issue and sale of bonds marked exhibit \u201c R\u201d T have also deeds of all the landed property the Board, as well as contracts and vouchers for the buildings.The purchase of lands on Logan\u2019s farm was made for $18,000, cash, on 1st June, 1877.Our balance sheet for July, 1882, original of which I have before me (but cannot part with as we are obliged by law to keep it), signed by Court, Mac- Intosh & Hyde, shews that the assets exceeds the liabiliies by $101,202.81.The value contained in sald statements of proper, building, &c., are the actual cost.will produce a copy of the balance sheep marked \u201c8.\u201d The other buildings were built in the same way, as I see from the minutes, not being cognizant of it personally.My books are cxamined by a public auditor once a year and every month by the Secretary of the Board.To Dr.Robins\u2014He stated he was an accountant of long years\u2019 standing, and had been in the service of the British Government at Woolwich, As such I have never met, he said, with a system of checks so severely strict with regard to payments and rassa, Leon Derome, Louis David, G Bou- | driasy T Dupont, FC Barette, C Mageau, : | expenditures as under this Protestant Board.If I wereout a cent in MY ac- comnts I should hear of it, and this 1s different when reports have to come from dif ferent sources, 1 ma not at Flerty to pay of receipts, all of any account= out j { {which have to he deposited in the bank, so that my bank book must correspond with my receipts, a thing ! T never saw dune hefore in any place of business, Ile then eoucluded by saying that he was given 3109 at the beginning of every mouth, and could not pay more than $5 of it without a special order, and gave some minor explanations concerning the internal financial management of the Board.The Board then took recess.AFTER RECESS, The Board met at eight o\u2019élock.Mr.Elijah 8.Shelton was sworn and gave evidence to the effect that he was a large owner of real estate.He was on the Board of Management of a number of thecharitable ivstitutions of the city and consequently was in a position to know considerably the wants of the Board in this eity in educational matters and otherwise.He also had cun- siderable experience iu buildings.Being questioned by the Chairman, he state that the moncy received by the Board had not been expended in a judicious manner.The Old Hin School, for instance, he considered could have been made suitable for the education of the poor for some $2,000.He was most strongly opposed to the application that had been made for increased taxation for schools, as lie considered that the amount now received by the Board was sufiicient, if expended in a proper manner.He condenined the action of the Board in expending $140,000 for the erection of the High Sefivol, which he considered they were not justified in doing.He styled it as a misappropriation.The amount paid for the land\u201469 cents\u2014was also too high.The monies received by the Board from the Government and the rate payers was for the education of the children of the poor, and not those of the wealthier part of the community.He was also opposed to the manner in which the Board was now formed.He held that it should be appointed by the ratepayers, and responsible to them.The Board then adjourned until Thursday next their investigation of the Protetont school system.They resume their investigation of the Catholic Board this afternoon.The following are summaries of two of the statements presented by Dr.Robins: \u2014 lst.The salaries of the employes of the Board on January 30 last.One at the office of the Board ruceives $2,400 per an- num ;

momeut far the reading room, some sneaking thief must haye entered the Library Ty the back entrance.and stealing round by the counters to the small office, where the overcoats, hats and such parapharnalia are hung up, had taken them from the pecs and quietly decamped with them.Our representative recommended that the matter should be placed immediately before the police, and t5is Mr.Hamilton decided to do, but Lefore he could leave the room, in the hat, coat and gloves, borrowed frow the worthy Superintendents, tife caretaker, Mr.Young, eniered the apartment, looking anythin but a happy man.A few words suffices to enlighten all as to his trouble.While he was engaged in the cellar his overcoat and gloves also went to supply some other wardrobe, probably taken by the same thief or his associates.Such over?acts in broad daylight will, we hope, put other people on their guard, aud we can but sympathize with Mr.Hamilton and Mr.Young on their

Domâuion Alliance met again to-day and continued the discussion on the report of the Committec on Legislature, which contains several most important suggestions as to the proposed legislation on the temperance question.The repart of the Committee on the state of work suggested the engagement of the gentlemen who should devote their whole time to the dissemination of temperance principles, and also the idea of a temperance Sunday.The report was adopted.When the debate on , Robertson\u2019s resolution was resumed he asked permission to amend it, as follows: \u201cDoults having been raised in some quarters 4s-to the.jurisdiction of the Provincial Legislature to license and regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, in the event of the Deminion Parliament refusing to pass a prokibitory law, this Alliance earnestly urges upon the Dominion Gorernment to take the necessary steps to remove such doubts and to confirm in the Provincial Legislaures the power whichihey have exercised ince Confederation.Opposed the resolution and \u2018warned the\u2019 Alliance that it would be dangerous to- tamper with the Scott Act, In attempting to add to the Act they might lose the whole.After some further discussion the motion was put to the meeting and carried by a large majority.The remaining clauses by the legislation report were adopted.A permanent legislation, composed of members of Parliament, who are members, and officers of the Alliance were appointed.The Alliance resumed its sittings at 2 .m.Mr.Robertson, seconded by Mraul, moved that the Temperance Worker be adopted as the organ of the Alliance.An amendment was moved by Mr.Fee, and seconded by Mr.S.H, Labourveau, that whereas we believe the time has come when we should take steps on the question of prohibition, and whereas the rapidly growing sentiment of the people in this direction is looking to a total prohibitory liquor law for the whole Dominion, we recommend that the question of prohibition be submitted to Parlianient of Canada that a vote may be taken upon the principle, and this resolution be given to the Permanent Committee on legislation.Carried, The Special Committee reported unfavorably to assuming the liability asked in the appeal from the Manitoba branch.Mr.Gales, Montreal, Recording Secretary, was granted $100 for his services as Secretary.The report of the Committee on literature was adopted.The third Sunday in October was selected as Temperange Sunday for the Dominion, After numerous Votes of thanks the Council adjourned.\u201cA publiv meeting was held as the Presbyturian Church, Bank street, which was addressed by Hon, Senator Vidal, Revs.E.A.Stafford, T.Gales and Wood, Prof.Foster, M.P., and other members of Parlinment.Several resolutions urging the adoption of total prohibition were Wiggins Again.Prof.Wiggins emphatically denies that he has gone back on his March storm, as reported.He states that the storm will happen exactly as he predictel.He says he was quite willing to be under a cloud for three weeks that belief in the storm might be weakened, in order to calm the public excitement.He will make the ress of Canada take back their words after March

Protest against the Egyptian Campaign.LORD WOLSELEY TAKES HIS SEAT Opposition of Conservatives to the Affirmation Bill.i Lonnox, Feb.15.\u2014The Imperial Parliament assembled to-day.The Queen\u2019s gpeech refers to the maintenance of good ralations with foreign powers.Speaking of the restoration of tranquility in Egypt, she says chat the withdrawal of the British troops is proceeding as expeditiously as the prudent consideration of the circumstances admit.The reconstitution of the Government of Egypt under the Khedive has been partly accomplished, and continues to receive her earnest attention.She has submitted to the Sultan and the Powers for a friendly consideration of the fitted to insure the stability of the Khedive\u2019s Government, the prosperity and the happiness of the Égyptians, the security of the Canal and the peace of Eastern Europe.Her policy has been and will be directed to those objects and she relies upon its just appreciation by other countries.\"The renewals of the disorders in Zululand has engaged her attention.She hopes the restoration of Cetewayo will lead to the establishment of a more stable government and the maintenanez af good relations between the Zulus and Cape Colony.The estimates for the\u201d coming year are in a forward state of preparation, and will soon be submitted.She is happy to state that the improvement in the social condition of Ireland continues.Agrarian crime has sensibly diminished, and the law has been everywhere upheld.Measures will be submitted for the establishment of a Court of Criminal Apeal, for preventing corrupt practices and for perpetuating and amending the Ballot Act.proposal will also be submitted to secure to tenants in England and Scotland compensation for agrienltural improvements.She refers to the time devoted in recent years by Parliament for the most urgent needs of Ireland, and says that the elaims of general legislation for other parts of the Kingdom now demand its just regard.She trusts, however, that Parliament will be able to deal with some legislative wants of Ireland for which provision has not yet been made, A meeting of Irish members of Parliament was held to-day at which a letter was read frem Mr.Healy, M.P., dated Kilmainham, complaining of his treatment in prison, and also protesting against the illegalttyjof his imprisonment.The meeting determined to raise the question of privileges in the House, and move for a Select Committee of 1nquirÿ.In the House of Commons Mr.Parnell rose in his place, and moved that a select committee be appointed to enquire into the avrest of ME, Healy and 10.amendment to the address was rejactod Ly 353 to 47.The Speaker read a letter announcing the arrest of Mr.Healy.The Marquis of Hartington said that as privileges members were unaffected by such an arrest the Government would not move for a Committee of Inquiry.The Attorney-General opposed Mr.Parnell\u2019s motion, contending that in cases of crimes the Government left members to find their remedy elsewhere than in the House of Commons.There is a prospect of a lengthy debate.Sir Stafford Northcote regretted the absence of Mr.Gladstone.The Government ought to have made some announcement regarding the Affirmation Bill in the Speech from the Throne, He said Englishmen had as much right to know the Government\u2019s intentions regarding Egypt as in relation to other countries.He urged tue Government to act with vigour and wisdom in Ireland.Lord Hartington said the Affirmation Bill was not a part of the Government\u2019s special programme, He challenged criticism regarding the conduct of Egyptian affairs.Russia, he stated, was not unfavourable to the effort being made to reorganize Egypt.Sir Wilt Lawson (Radical), moved an amendment to the Address, that no sufficient reason was shown for the employment of British troops in the reconstituting of Egypt.Mr.Labouchere seconded the motion.In the House of Lords Lord Wolseley took his oath amid cheers.In the House of Commons Sir S.Northcote was cheered on entering.The Speaker read a letter from Bradlaugh, declaring that the House having refused to hear him or his constituents, he should do all the law required in the endeavor to sit and vote.Lord Hartington said the Government would introduce a bill authorizing the members to make an affirmation.Sir R.A.Cross stated he would oppose the bill.During the debate on Healy\u2019s im- risonment, Messrs.McCarthy and Mconnell spoke on his behalf.Mr.Trevelyan said that Healy\u2019s offence was one of a most serious character, considering the condition of Ireland.Mr.Goist (Conservative) complained that the Government had given no precedent for its action regarding Healy.The Attorney-General only quoted an antiquated case from the days of Stuart.The case of Healy should be treated as that of an English member of Parliament.Parnell gave notice that he would introduce a bill amending the Land Act.McCarthy gave notice that he would introduce a bill abolishing Irish Vice- Royalty.HOUSE OF LORDS.In the House of Lords the Marquis of Salisb complained that the Queen\u2019s Speech did not state when the last British troops would quit Egypt.Great credit, he said, was due to Earl Spencer, for his administration of affairs in Irelnnd, but the measures relative to Ireland introduced by the Government were a failure.Lord Granville said, Lord Salisbury\u2019s criticism were based on gossip and after- dinner speeches, No member of the Government would declare for anything like Home Rule for Ireland.Itwould be indiscreet to announce when the troops would leave Egypt.Their policy was, acting for the interests of France and all the other powers, as well as their own.The address in reply to the Speech from the Throne was adopted, and the House adjourned.arrangements which appeared to her best: | (HOM THE OLD WORLD, Bradlaugh Goes to Westminster With

people he left Trafalgar square for the ouse of Commons te-day.There were about five thousand men, delegates from London clubs and forty provincial towns, in the crowd.The pracession formed near the Nelson monument, got into line and then marched in straggling columns along Whitehall to Westminster.The @rowd was orderly, and there was no in- texrference from police.Many of the segtions of the crowd sang labour songs.A few were excitedly declaiming while the larger part of the men tramped steadily silent, but evidently in earnest, Bradlaugh\u2019s arrival at the House of Commons was the signal for great cheering from the crowd that followed him.He drove up to the members\u2019 entrance in the Palace ard in triumph, and as he entered the obby, he was again loudly cheered.Mrs.Besant and the Misses Bradlaugh were resent in the great hall.In the ouse of Commons at the close of the reading of Bradlaugh\u2019s letter by the Speaker, the Government announced officially that it was the intention of the Ministers to propose the Affirmation Bill.Amid cries of \u201cOh, oh!\u201d Mr, Bradlaugh said he would postpone any further action until this bill ad been discussed.Mr.Bradlaugh and

further incident.having termini in London agreed not to grant the usual facilities to those applying for special trains for to-day, on the ground that Mr.Bradlaugh had announced a meeting for to-day, and that excursion trains might be used for political purposes.An impression prevails that the law forbids any public meeting or demonstration within a mile of Westminster Hall, but Mr.Labouchere says this is not.What the law forbids is any meeting within these limits to petition Parliament to alter the law.A meeting is lawfu! when it is convened not to ask Parliament to afer the law but to obey

the present prosperity of Canada to the effects of a protective tariff.The Times considers that the prosperity of the Dominion is due to the general revival of trade which began in the autumn of 1879, and remarks that it will be interesting to see what Sir Alexander will say when the usual cyclic movement has ended, and business is again dull everywhere.Probably then again he will set to work to persuade the Canadians to add another row of bricks to the Chinese wall with which they have surrounded themselves.FRANCE.The Cabinet Crisis.Paris, February 15.\u2014Judging from present indications a conflict between the two Chambers is inevitable.Neither will recede from the positions assumed, each claiming to have pushed conciliation to the last limits.It is difficult to say how the matter will end, but it seems impossible that the lower Chamber can accept the Waddington-Say projet.It simply assures immunity to the Orleanist plotters, for, according to the terms of the project, nothing but amovert act of rebellion can bring them within the operations of the law.It is not believed that the Senate will pass the Expulsion Bill as amended by the Chamber of Deputies.The Chambers of Deputies

The resignation of the Ministry brings the rival claims of Ferry and Freycinet on the tapis.The former who has been actively intriguing in view of it for weeks back, cannot secure a majority in the

audience in the National History Society Room\u2019s last evening by Prof.Darey, of McGill College, on the interesting subject, \u201cA Trip through the White Mountains during the summer of 1882.\u201d Principal Dawson presided anl Lrietly introduced the lecturer, who commenced by describing his journey over the Grand Trunk Railway, through the Eastern Townships.Afler passing into the state of New Hamphshire the paneltar rises to a plateau of about 1,600 feet above the sea, about 43 miles in length and 30 in breadth.Upon this lateau rises what is known as the White Mountains.The origin of the name is not exactly known.Some attribute it to the haziness of the region, and others to the snow with which it is covered in the fall.The lecturer proceeded to narrate his journey over the road, and his impressions of Knowlton, Newport, and St.Johnsbury.In connection with a visit to the Fairbank\u2019s scale manufactory at the latter place, he told an interesting story of how the elder Fairbanks came to invent the platform scales.He had, it appears, boughta large quantity of flax, and had to weigh it with the old fashion scales.This took a great deal of time, and set him to thinking as to how it would be possible to invent a platform scale, so as to weigh a whole load at a time.He set about it and finally discovered it.He referred to the munificent donations by the Fairbanks to the town and said that in no other place had he seen such taste displayed as at St.Johnsbury.He next proceeded to relate the incidents of his journey to Mount Washington and his impressions of its celebrated scenery, giving some interesting reminiscences of his experience.The lecture, which was listened to throughout with marked attention, and at the finish a vote of thanks was returned to the lecturer.The next lecture of the course will be delivered on Thursday evening next by Dr.Robert Bell, of the Geological Survey, on \u2018 The Athabaska and Mackenzie Basin.\u201d

PARK.MURDERS Resorption of the Exemination of the Accused, FURTHER CONVINCING EVIDENCE.The Murder Minutely Described hy the Witnesses, EXCITEMENT IN DUBLIN.Duaurx, February 15.\u2014At the adjourned trial to-day of the men charged with she assassination of Lord Cavendish and Uuder-Secretary Burke, the Government produced several important witnesses.It will, according to report, be in the power of the Crown to prove positively that four men took part in the murders, that two men suddenly seized Lord Cavendish and Mr.Burke, while the other two stabbed them.Only two knives were used, which had been especially prepared for the deed.The Crown witnesses will, it is said, give the names of the actual murderers, and thus complete the testimony necessary to send them before a Jury.The Crown will offer.proof as to the actual details of the murder.Witnesses are expected to prove that Lord Cavendish and Mr.Burke, at the moment when they were first wounded, violently wrenched them- gelves from the grasp of the assassins.In doing so they faced the men who lad seized them, but exposed their backs to the men who held the knives which were used with such terrible effect.The victims became separated in the struggle ; both, however, fell, and then the assassins completed their work.Every stab was in a vital part.It is now known that Lord Cavendish could have escaped by flight if he had not determined to remain and try to protect Burke.The assassins would not have pursued either of their victims.No arrangements had been made for their pursuit, as the plans of the murder could hardly fail of success, being rehearsed for some time at their secret meetings.The greatest excitement prevails all over the city.The witnesses are closely guarded by the police, and the usual military precautions are being taken.Threats are heard of a rescue, but tha Government says that any attempt to frustrate the course of justice will be promptly punished.; THE THIAL.The court room was densely crowded when the trial was resumed this morning.As on the previous occasions there were a number of privileged spectators, besides a number of police officers on duty.There were several high police officials present, who watched the proceedings with interest.The prisoners arraigned this morning were James Carey, Joseph Brady, Timothy Kelly, Pat Hanlon, Daniel Curley, Dennis Fagan, Patrick Delaney, Fitzbarris alias \u201cThe skin,\u201d and Thos.Caffrey.Patrick Cahill deposed that in assing the Chapel Izod gate on the evening of the 6th May, he saw a car driving rapidly out of Pheenix Park.One man on the car Le identified as Caffrey This comp etes the quartette of men who were on the car.Another witness named Glenn, a bricklayer, identified James Carey, the Town Councillor, as being on the scene of the murders.Thetwo others were dressed like gentlemen.The prisoners in the dock laughed heartily at this evidence.The notion that their accomplices were described as being dressed like gentlemen seemed to amuse them.The witness Hurley pointed out Timothy Kelly as being one of a number of men standing among the trees in Pheonix Park hiding, but on the watch at the time of the murders.The witness Murray also swore to seeing several men standing among the trees, but was uneqal to identify any of them.This witness, however, was able to identify Fitzharris, alias \u201cThe Goat,\u201d as standing at the head of the horse attached to the car, The witness Meagle who was passing through the park at the time of the murders testified that he saw four men tuss- nlig.One man fell, but he could not say who it was.Joe Brady was among them.He at first thought de could identify Fagan, but was not sure and refused to swear to him.During the tria! counsel complained of the crowded state of the court room, and suggested that some limit should be placed on the nnmber of spectators admitted.The objection was made on the part of the Government, it is said, in order to prevent any possibility of a rescue of the prisoners.After several of the prisoners\u2019 witnesses had been examined in corroboration of previous evidence, the Court adjourned until Saturday.All future sittings will be held with closed doors and the public excluded.Members of the press will be allowed to be present.Rumoured Arrest of M.P's, LoxpoN, Feb.15.\u20141t is rumoured

another was the side containing the letter press, and a perfectly blank piece on each side was the paper that lay between.Many people who have not seen this done might think it im possible yet it is not only possible, but extremely easy, as we shall show.Geta piece ot plate glass, and place iton a sheet of paper ; then ict the latter be thoroughly Dekced.With a little dexterity the sheet can be split by the top surface being removed.But the best plan is to paste a plece of cloth or strong paper to each side of the sheet to be split.When dry, violently and withont hesitation, pull the two pieces asunder, when part of the sheet will be found to have adhered to one and part to the other.Soften the paste in water, and the peices can be easily removed from the cloth.The process is generally demonstrated as a matter of curiosity, yet it can be utilized in various ways.If we want to paste in a scrap-bouk a newspaper article printed on both sides of the paper, and possess only one coy, it is very convenient to know how to detach the one side from the other.The paper when split, as may be imagined, is more transparent that it was before being subjected to the operation, and the printing ink is somewhat duller ; otherwise the two pieces [pre sent the appearance of the original if again brougt together.Sometime ago the information of how to do this splitting was advertised to be sold for a considorable sum, We now impart it to all our readers gratuitously.\u2014 Bvitish and Colonial Printer und Stationer.\u2014It is reported in Paris that Lepelletier, a Director of the Credit de France, has been arrested.\u2014The Niagara Falls State Park Bill was before the Assembly Committee at Albany, N.Ÿ., yestorday.After hearing evidence on both sides, it was resolved to report the bill favourably.\u2014A young lawyer said that he had recently settled in a certain town to try and make and honest living when a bystander facetiously remarked that le ought to succeed, as there was not much competition in his profession.\u2014A great Irish orator and wit was asked what an Irish friend of his, who had just arrived in London, could mean b perpetually putting out his tongue.suppose he\u2019s trying to catch the English accent,\u201d said the wit.\u2014-Let concealment, like a worm in the bud, etc.\u201c Yes,\u201d he said, that setter dog of mine is mighty smart and does lots of cute things.But see, no matter how closaly I atuck to the truth folks.would think 1 lied.\u201d NOTICH:.Notice is hereby given that the firm of BOYD, EGAN CO, Warehousemen, Customs and Forwarding Agents, of 13 Common Street, Montreal, was dissolved on the 30th December Last, and the business has been placed in the hands of Charles H.Walters, Merchant, and Edward Evans, Accountant, as joint trustees for the purpose of liquidation.SAM EL W.BOYD, CHRISTOPHER EGAN, HUGH M.BOYD.Montreal, 5th January, 1883.The \u2018indersigned Trustees request creditors of the firm of Boyd & Egan to file their claims with them, and all parties indebted to the firm are requested to pay their indebtedness forthwith to the under signed.CHAS \u2019 *H.WALTERS ag EDWARD EVANS.\u2019 an.6.MOLINO DEL REY.A Delicate, Dry, Non-Alcoholi¢ Sherry.Direct from the Duke of Wellington\u2019 Estate, at Gllora.SOLE AGENT, FRED.KINGSTON, 95 HOSPITAL STREET, Montreal November 25 282 fC Ata a hes un LAN Lah Bh AN PIN "," f Aer Aduertisements, CLENDINNENGS STOVES! 6 and 28 ST.JAMES STREET.1 (RIG STREET STOVES, RANGES, FURNACES.MADE IN THE CITY, Best of Iron.- Every Article Warranted, Purchasers ghoul bear in mind \u2018that CLENDINNENG'S STOVES, For Economy 1 CENTRAL cord, Manches- } Railwaus.Nf VERMONT \u2026 AIR LINE.Old Reliable Short Route.Three Express Trains daily to New York with Pullman and Wagner Sleeping Cars attached.Two Express Trains daily to Boston with Pullman's Elegant Parlour and Sleeping Car attached.TRAINS LEAVE MONTREAL.15 a.m:\u2014Day Express tor Troy, Albany NS rn, Springtield and Boston via Fitchburg.Also to Waterloo, ° , 9.00 a.m.\u2014Limitcd Express for Boston, v# Concord, Manchester, Nashua and Lowell, ra- riving in Boston at 7.20 p.m., and New York via W R.Junction and Springfield at 10.30 p.m.Also, to New London 8.20 y.m.\u2014For Waterloo and Magog.\u201c20 p.m.\u2014Night Express for New York,via Troy, arriving in New York at 6.45 the ne t ing.\"6.30 1s m.\u2014Nigh Ex ress for Bosten, via \u2018Lowell, or via F tenbirg, for Greenfield, Northampton, Holyogeand Springfield,without change ;

strike the Standing Committees.NEW BILLS.Mr.BEATTY introduced a bill entitled, An Act for the discharge of past.insolvencies.The bill was read a first time.He also introduced a bill for the equitable distribution of insolvent estates.He explained that it was similar to the bill he had introduced ou the same subject last sassion.It provided that when a man was unable to discharge his liabilities he might o into insolvency, and ; that the estate should be equitably divided among his creditors.It did not permit of any preferential claims, THE NORTH SHORE AND INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY.Mr.LANDRY asked whether the Government have come to any understanding with the present proprietors of that part of the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa & Occidental Railway, now more particularly known under the name of the North Shore Railway, in relation Jto the construction of ferry boats to ply between the terminus of that railway and that of the Intercolonial Railway, and what that understanding is ?Sir CHARLES TUPPER replied that no understanding had yet been arrived at on that subject.PUBLIC RETURNS.Sir S.L.TILLEY laid on the table the Public Accounts for 1882 and the Auditor- General's report.- Mr.BOWELL

Speaker took the chair at 3.15 this afternoon.Sveral petitions were presented, amongst others one by Mr.Shehyn from the Municipality of St.Sauveur, praying for incorporation as a town.NEW BILLS.Mr.Robertson introduced a bill to change the name of the Oxford Nickel and Copper Co.Mr.Poupore introduced a bill to enable the Rector and Churchwardens of St.James\u2019 Church, Hull, to sell certain immovable property and invest the proceeds thereof.Mr.Watts introduced a bill to divide the electoral district of Drummond and Arthabaska in two electoral districts.THE C.P.R.TRAIN SERVICE.Mr.Marion moved for copies of all correspondence 1especting the fulfilment of the condition contained in the deed of sale passed between the Government and the Pacific Railway Company.He called attention to the irregularity of the train service on the Laurentides Branch, quoting from the contract made with the Government to show that the Pacific Railway Company was hound to run a train each way daily.This had not Leen so far the case; buf he hoped the Government would see to the due execution of the contract.Mr.Joly said the complaint was carrying out the predictions made by the Opposition last session when they had said that the Pacific did not require the branches of the western section of the Q., M., 0.& O., which were, however, forced upon them by the Government.Mr.Monsseau said the matter had been considered by the Government, who had called the attention of the Pacific Railway to the question, and had received assurances that the contract would, in future, be faithfully adhered to.i Mr.Mercier wondered why these instructions had only just been given, instead of some months ago.Mr.Mousseau said the matter had only lately been brought under the attention of the Government.Mr.Mercier said the Government must have Leen aware that the local press had been complaining of the matter for five months past.Mr.Mousseau said the Government was not supposed to take any action on complaints of the press so long as the people Interested appeared satisfied and made no representations to the Government.So soon as they made such representalions the Government took immediate action.SETTLERS\u2019 GRIEVANCES.Mr.Richard moved for copies of the correspondence, documents, &c, respecting the promise of a grant of certain land lots made to Mr.Couter, of St.Doucat, County of Montcalm.He explained that the Government, by one of its ministers, had promised to the party named in his motion some 13 or 15 lots of lands if he succeeded in opening up a certain settlement in the county.Mr.Couter had settled some families on the land in question, but the Government had not complied with the conditions to which he assented.He argued at length that the duty of the Government \"was to exercise a paternal care over colon- 1zation, especially in new districts of the country.; Mr.Flynn said that the pretended claims of Mr.Couter had received the attention of the Government of which he had been à member and reports on the matter were ordered by his Department.Mr.Blanchet said it was only a few days since this matter had oecupied the serious attention of the Government.The mover of the resolution and the House might rest assured that the Government would never be found wanting in its duty towards colonists.TRE REPLY T{ THE ADDRESK.Before proceeding to the Orders of the Day, Mr.Mercier said he wished to raise a question of privilege.On the 22nd of anuary last fhe address in reply to the Speech fom the Throne was adopted by the House, the usual committee being strucl to present it to the Lieut.-Governor.From that day to this the Government, who, upon their own showing, were only a ommittee of the House, and, as such, bound to execute its orders, had not reported in any way whether the Address been presented or not.This was altogether unusual and unconstitutional.He, therefore, offerc®® a motion censuring the conunittee for not reporting His Honour\u2019s reply or the grave reason for which he had refused to reply to the House\u2019s address.Mr.Mousseau said that he admired the dignified and sertous air with which the Pposition leader lectured the House and usurped the function of the government.Ministers thoroughly understood and had IN no way failed in their constitutional parliamentary duty.As soon as the Address Was engrossed they had communicated with the Lieut-Governor and had appointed a day with him for its presentation, But unfortunately on that day through sickness or ~ some other cause His Honor was absent and since then he had gone to Ottawa and liad not yet returned.Mr.Flynn said that he would vote agaiust the motion in consequence of the explanation of the Premier, showing that ministers could not be held responsible for the delay, owing to the physical impossibility of obtaining an answer from the Lieut.-Goveruor.Mr.Joly said the Premier could not leave any responsibility upon the Lieut.Governor.He must take it all upon his own shoulders and he was surprised at the ground taken in the matter hy the member for Gaspe.~ Mr.Irvine said it was perhaps very unimportant in some respectf whether an answer was ever received from the Lieut.- Governor but the matter was different when the principle involved was taken into consideration.He protested against Mr.Fiynn\u2019s assertion that the Premier was not responsible for whatever omission had occurred, even for the absence of the Lieutenant-Governor.If that absence affects us the Premier must be held responsible.The Lieut.-Governor may be responsible to the Federal Goverument, as fully exemplified in the unjust dismissal of Mr.Letellier, which was so fully explained by Mr.Flynn himself some years ago.He would like to be informed 10w the Lieut.-Governor could possibly Le absent from Quebec, while the Legislature was sitting, when the Constitution laid it down in etrict térms, that he was an integral portion of it.Even the estimates which they hoped to be able to consider at some distant date could not be taken up without a message from his Honor.This message might just as well be sent from England or the United States as from Ottawa, which was equally beyond our limits.\"It may be the Address and reply are mere empty forms and should be dune away with, but while they remain a part of our system they must be correctly observed.The invariable custom was to receive $his reply early in the session.When he was first a member of the House it was a custom for the members to go in a body, \u2018headed by the Speaker and attended by the mace on the shoulder of the Sergeant-at- Arms, to present the Address in reply to the Speech from the throne to the Lieut.- Governog in person.He could only conclude, when he called to mind the fact that the Address, which had not yet been presented had been passed three weeks ago, that the House had been treated with very slight consideration by Ministers, even though they might have intended no affront to it.Mr.Stephens said there must be some mistake about this affair.The document mist surely have been a very heavy one.It was pleaded that the Governor Lad been ill, yet several members of the House had been invited to dine with his Honor since the Address had been voted.It might be said that this business was all a matter of form and he hoped that it would lead to reform in the office of the Lieut.-Governor, which now cost us $20,000 to $30,000 a year.He believed all the work of the office could be done for $2,000 a year.If they could get along so well without the Lieutenant-Governor for such a length of time he submitted to the House whether his services could not be entirely dispensed with, and an annual saving effected of $31,000, which meant the interest on $500,000.In reply to Mr.Blanchet, who defended the conduct of the Government, Mr.Marchand asserted that it was not the Opposition but the Government who had introduced the name of the Lieutenant-Governor into the debate to take shelter behind it.Mr.Desjardins, seconded by Mr.Flynn, moved an amendment that the House is satistied with the explanations of Ministers and passes to the order of the day.Mr.Cameron said it was notorious that for days after the passage of the address the ieut.-Governor was at Spencer Wood, and that the responsivity tut 1s vuu=pac sentation, therefore, did not lie with lum, but with the Government.Mr.Robertson remarked that the Government had no doubt been careless in the matter, but if they were guilty of nothing worse this session, he, for one, was willing to pass this matter over.r.Gagnon argued that the Lieut.Governor did not yet constitutionally know whether his Ministers had the confidence of the House or not, and that the House could not vote the supplies to the Government under tae circumstance.Mr.Irvine thought if the Government told the House the real reason why the address had not been presented, instead of getting one of their friends to move an amendment to shirk the question, it would be much wore satisfactory.The truth was that minds of men were so much troubled with other matters that they had altogether forgotten about the address.Mr.Wurtele said it was nonsense to pretend that the Lieut.-Governor was constitutionally not aware that the Ministry possessed the confidence of the majority of the House when its proceedings from day to day were regularly transmitted to His Honor whether he was in Quebec or not.The oniy loss the country had suffered in the whole of this matter had been the loss ot a whole afternoon ta the House in discussing the trivial question rajsed by the Opposition leader.; \u2018After remarks from Mr.Asselin, Mr.Mercier said the tone the discussion had taken reminded him of the verdict of the jury who declared the prisoner ¢ not guilty, bot that he should not do it again.\u201d That was really the position in which the Government were placed in this matter by their own followers.He went on to argue that the excuse offered by the Government for the failure to do their duty was lame and unsatisfactory.Ministers could find the Lieut.-Governor when they wanted to get a message from him to the House, asking for the supplies, aud it was very strange that they could not find him under other circumstances.He also complained generally of the unreadiness of the Government r.Desjardins spoke in support of his amendment until six o\u2019clock, when the House closed.: AFTER RECESS.Mr.Desjardins, continued in support of his amendment and was followed by Mr.Marchand, who referred to the records of the Legislative Council to show that the Lieut.-Governor replied to the address of that House on 2nd February, and could have equally replied to the address of the Assembly if Ministers had doue their duty.He moved in amendment to the amendment * that the explanations of Ministers cannot be accepted; by those explanations it is admitted that the order of this House was executed, and that the address has not yet been presented to the Lieut.-Governor, owing t® his illness ; that it appears nevertheless by the journals of the House that on 31st January last, nine days after, and on 5th February instant fourteen days after the House voted the address, the Lieutenant- \u2018Governor transmitted messages to the House, proving that in those days his Honor was not absent from Quebec nor incapacitated by sickness from signing messages; that it appears moreover by the votes and proceedings of \"the Legislative Council that his Honor transmitted a mess age signed with his own hand to that ouse on the 2nd of February, thanking it for its Address in reply to the Speech.\u201d The debate was continued by Messrs.Irvine, Watts, Blanchet and Mercier until after nine o'clock, when Mr.Marchand\u2019s amendment was put and lost on division.Mr.Desjardin\u2019s amendment to the main motion, proposed by Mr.Mercier, being carried on the same division.to go on with the business of the country.|.The bill to amend the charter of the City of Hull then passed its third reading, and the bill to incorporate the Rimouski and Gaspe Railway its second reading.Mr.Mousseau moved that afier Thursday next all Government measures take precedence.The motion was passed.On the order tor the third reading of the bill to aid the maintenance of common goals, Mr.Gagnon objected that this bill was irregular, as it involved new taxation and should have been introduced by a message from the Lieut.-Governor.After some discussion a correction was made to meet Mr.Gagnon\u2019s objection and the bill was read a third time and passed.The House then adjourned at 10.15 p.m.Erps\u2019s Cocoa\u2014GRATEFUL AND CoM- FORTING.\u2014\u201c By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws

nevertheless, for the satisfaction of having the lunatics at Beauport, near Quebec, the seat of Government, the Province pays for 650 of them $43 per head more than there is any occasion to do, à nice little item of $27,950 per annum uselessly taken out of the Treasury.Desides, there are a number of others for whom $32 too much is paid.Here then is a chance for economy, other conditions being equal, and here is a sum of money saved that would \u2018materially help the Treasurer in maintaining the equilibrium between re- \u2018ceipts and expenditures.Mr.Mousseau has declared that the administration is but a committee of the House.In this admission we find a still further reason why any arzangement for the future should be submitted to the members before being resolved upon.The Government of which the present is the lineal descendant, and the legitimate heir to everything, bad as well as good for which its predecessors were responsible, will not, it is to be hoped, particularly since Mr.Mous- \u2018soap has so much protested, seck, as jhad before time beer the policy} te \u2018ignore its duty to the House and, with] lout consulting it, ratify a fresh don-° tract, no matter how advantageous it may appear to be.The Province has -to determine upon the course which it will adopt for a few years to come, If \u2018the Government proposals are such as shall commend themselves, we are certain that the members will not fac- tiously oppose them.The House was, however, elected to direct and supervise matters of this kind and it will be an usurpation of its functions if Mr.Wurtele or Mr.Mousseau should undertake to arrogate to themselves their powers and prerogatives.An honest and businesslike proposal will be dealt with in a proper spirit, and, we hopo ere long to hear what the Government is going to do about it.ASSIMILATION OF THE FRANCHISE.In the Speech from the Throne at the opening_of Parliament, a measure respecting the assimilation of tho franchise throughout the Dominjon was foreshadowed.As this is a reform in the right direction, we must give the Government credit for-what our American cousins call \u201csmartness\u201d in stealing the thunder of their opponents.If they provide the country with a good, simple, and workable law, we shall not complain; though they and their supporters will, as vsual, claim all ghe oredit for passing a measure fouced upon them by public opinion and tne arguments of their opponents.In of yoters, as ig all jother questionsghe Reformers have ever been in advance of the honourable gentlemen who at present cocdpy the Treasury benches, and if the latter now see fit views long ago advocated by o fiefs, we can only congratulate thom on their conversion, and express the hope that they may not disappoint the people by bringing downa half-and-half measure.At the Quebec conference the franchise was one of the details talked vver, bu as it was not a matter of vital import ance it wag allowed to remain in abeyance, with the understanding that the system of voting then in force in each Province should remain undisturbed until the introduction of a new system applicable to the whole Dominion.Though changes have since heen made b y in the manner of voting, and even in D\u201c the qualification of voters in somo of the Provinces, the arrangement is still the same ; and the result is anything but satisfactory.What the count£y wants is a uniform law, a uniform system.The franchise'should be the same in every part of Canada, so far as voting for members \u2018of the House of Commons is concerned, no matter what the losl qualifications may be.Under.the present gen d'young man fn Ontario who, as a Tarmer'\u2019s son, \u2018has the right to vote, would be left out in.the cold, were he to move into Quebec\u201d and occupy a corresponding social position, This is absurd, and the sooner a\u2019change is made the better, In making this change the Government cannot the pcsition of the Prowingg, that is farthest advanced in = this respect, otherwise they would disenfranchise, without good cause, à large number of persons.whe agg ROW on the voters™ist.We havë no means of knowing what the programme of.tho Government is; but no doubt it will not vary greatly.from thes(Qntario law, though we hope it will go even a step farther.A few years ago when farmers\u2019 sons, residing on the homestead, and nop yeb holding: property-in their own right, were enfranchised, the sons of mechanics, merchants and professional men, living in the towns and cities, contended, certainly not without reason, that they had been sligntel or overlgokedy If a young man in the country could give an intelligent vote, they held that surely his cousin in the city was quite as capable of doing so, and might with equal safety be trusted with the ballot, Mr.Mowat admits this now, and there is every realon fo believe, from what has been said on \u2018the platform during the\u201cpresent campaign, that at the next session of the Ontario Legislature a bill will\u2019 be passed extending the franchise to those who now demand it in the centres of population.While we do not advocate universal suffrage, we bolieve that a measure somewhat similar to thet now in force in Ontario, with amendments in the direction indicated, would prove acceptable to the people.Confer the right to vote on the sons of farmers by all cans, bat at the same time grant the same privilege to young men in our towns and cities.In these days of schools and colleges there are few men who have not received a good education, whereby questions relating to the qualification | Lpdmity when large imports of feod had \u2018situation.-adopt lof Winnipeg the prices of a few ar- .12¢.Potatoes are the only dear article movo backward ; they must approach | opinion for themselves on the questions that come up from time to time for public discussion.Surely their voice should be as loudly heard as that of the illiterate man who, knowing perhaps little or nothing of one party or the other, has the right to cast his ballot, simply because he pays a few dollars a year in the way of rental, or is the freeholder of a small piece of land.\u2018We would not go so far as to insiston an educational qualification (it is a farce where it is in force in some portions of the United States) but we do hold that young men of education,who are earning their own living, and have; an interest in the welfare and prosperity of the country, should no longer be kept away from the ballot box.We have got beyond the days of property qualification for Parliamentary purposes.So far as Municipal elections are concerned, that is another matter.The taxation of our houses and lands is the question then directly involved, and those who own the property should be the persons to say who shall have the management of civic affairs.But when we come to select those who are to represent us in Parliament, the people \u2018of all classes, degrees and creeds, should have their say.Tle governments of all constitutionally ruled countries are finding out this fact.Before the session of Dritish Parliament which was opened yesterday, comes to the end of Rs work, it is almost eexfain that \u2018the agricultural laborers, who have been kept down for centuries, will have conferred on them the same right at the polling booth as the lord of the manor.This is one of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s promised measures of reform, and he is certain to carry it out.The Ottawa Government have before them a clear field.They have ar opportunity of doing the country a great service in sweeping away the present incengruous system, and astablishing in its place a sound, common sense law that will have force in every part of the Dominion.A somi-official announcement is made to the effect that it is their intention to bring down a bill exceedingly liberal in character Let ue hope that this may.prove to be the case, and that hereafter our young men of all classes shall have a voice in deciding the affairs of the nation.LIVING IN MANITOBA.A great deal of gross misrepresentation is made, presumably by interested parties, about the cost of living in Manitoba and We dare say, luxuries are more expensive, bütt what we are more concerned in is the cost of living to the farming and travelling communities.* Almost every conceivable article of food is raised im the.eountry wow,and of the finest too.Two years ago of course there was an immense difference, we to.he wale, hat if is eniirely differant pow;

but the whole of the business of the Society has been managed during these years by Donald Peddie for his brother, who seems to have given him half of his salary.The directors exonerate the Doctor from any connection with the ¥raud\u2014rather sympa- they are enabled to form an intelligent the North-West, |.ito be somewhat disturbed just now.va THE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, FRIN*Yÿ FEBRU lieve him of hixlegal responsibility.Donald, it was supposed, had gone to Spain, but he was lately reported to lave been buried in the Potter's Field at Philadelphia.He was 74 ycars of age.THE London Times, in a five column article on the diplomatic correspondence of Prince Bismarck says that of \u201call ambassadors, Americans ave probably the best.With them diplomacy is a profession, but not one that requires any pre- EHminary training and outfit beyond the Possession of an educated, open mind with manners, if possible, in accordance) aud a secing eye.Their idea of the re- resentative or honourable-spy function Is the true one, as any one may convince himself by turning up a volume of their \u2018Foreign Relations.\u2019 Nothing is too small for them to make note of.Nothing escapes their observation, and whatever they observe they report.\u201d This may be true or it may not ; but one thing is certain, and that is that the American diplomats generally get the best of it when they measure swords with Europeans\u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014 ONE may well imagine the excitement in the vicinity of Trafalgar Square, and the British House of Commons, when Mr.Bradlaugh drive to Westminster followed by 5,000 people.That there was no disturbance is most remarkable, considering the class that the Member for Sheffield was leading.On the reading of Mr.Bradlaugh\u2019s letter by the Speaker, it must have been most gratifying to the expelled Member, to know that the Premier proposed offering the affirmation bill, the vote on which will be looked for with great public interest.The crowd appeared well satisfied and dispersed without any demonstration.So far Mr.Bradlaugh will be gratified.Last night\u2019s proceedings will no doubt he accepted hy the political outcats friends as a triumph.\u2014_\u2014 ee À DESPATCH from Ottawa, states that it is the intention of the corporation of that city to re-impose the income tax on all members of the civil service, and they are perfectly right.It will be remembered that this tax was declared to be illegal by the courts some time ago, though on what grounds the lawyers alone know.The civil servants enjoy all the rights and benefits that arise from improvements made by the city, and they should pay their taxes the same as other people.\u2014_\u2014 Osrr.\u2014Our obituary column this morning contains a notice of the death of Mrg Rerinald Force at Axeter, Devonshire, England, at the ripe old age of 82.Mrs.Force was the mother of Mr.Anthony Force, of this city, whose friends, we are sure, sympathize with him in his bereavement.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Ir may not Le disay pointing to the house, but it is very much so to the public that for a week back we have been promised the Treasurer\u2019s statement, certainly on Wednesday, and now we arc only to have it to-night, if we can rely upon the last announcement.\u2019 \u2014\u2014 Ax important dispatch via.the Canada Mutual Telegraph Company, respecting the Phenix Park murders, will be found under our telegraphic head.The evidence appears now to be complete and probably eight or ten will be involved in the etime.THE Ministerial ranks at Quebec appear | 1 The Premier has several times lost control of the house and is not very successful in leading the Governmentnr wight Hon.W.E.Gladstone, the British Premier, entertained H.R.H.the Prince of Wales, on the 30th ult., at Canes, where they had been on a short visit.\u2019 Australia, under the captaincy of the Hon.Mr.Bligh, defeated the Australian team by 69-runs, at the match recently played.00 THE Merchants\u2019 Association, of Belfast, report the linen trade of 1882 as having closed satisfactory, The present year has opened with-moderate prospects.DEATHS.Fonrce\u2014At Exeter, Devonshire, England, in- her 82nd year, Mrs.Reginald Bo ce, mother of Anthony Force, Egg.of thik dity.+m Craxoiher\u2014On the Isth instant, in the 77th year of her age, Qlive Porter, widow of the late Harlow Chandler, of Frelighsburg;

At the second meeting, because they called Upon me again, lagain said I did not desire to be re-elected, but they said they would - elect me whether I wanted it or not.I then told them that I would consent upon \"titis gondition, that thoge gentlemen who \"asked me to come out, and who had signed Mr.Bulmer\u2019s requisition (and there were Rgeveral of them), should withdraw their vr \u201c\u2019biguatures from it.This condition was accepted, and that is the reason I am again à candidate for the Mayoralty of the City f Montreal, and Thope this will be the last time.(Laughter; cries of \u2018\u201c no, no; not thuch ; you will die in harness, Beaudry.\u201d) #7111 4id not sign Mr.Bulmers requisition, it was because on previous occasions when Mr.Bulmer was Chairman of the Road Committee, in \u201964 and \u201965, I had some remarks then to make about him which displeased him then very much, but these sremarks I then made are just as fresh upon my mind to-day as they were then.e question that I brought up was, that all or nearly all the bricks furnished the city came from Mr.Bulmer, except those on Colborne street.And the question of the drain making I also brought up, and I said, and I believe now, that many of the accidents which have taken place\u2014for example, in Bonaventure street, where the low ground was flooded\u2014was through the breaking of the drains.Now these drains 1 found out, because I am in the habit of visiting the work that is being carried on for the city, were not constructed accord- .ng to the =pecifications of the engineer of lhe city; the specifications required that they should be a foot thick all round, but instead of that they were only four inches and, as a consequence, the drains burst and flooded the vicinity.The same thing applivs to the Ontario street drain, and it was me who detected the manner in which the work of the city was being carried out, when Mr.Bulmer was Chairman of the committee in charge of the work.That is one reason why I refused to sign Mr.Belmers requisition; but there 1s another.Mr.Bulmer has denied having had any connection with the meeting of magistrates which took place on the 5th of July.1878.Now any vue can see for himself, by referring to the rewspapers, that Mr.Bulmer not only had connection with that meeting, but also that he was present at it himself, and at that meeting ke showed that he was rot in favor of preserving the ace of the city, and of protecting the ives of the citizens of Montreal.This was at the meeting of magistrates who had assembled to discuss the question of the 12th of July, 1878, and at that meeting Mr.Bulmer was cunning enough not to show his hand; he was cunning enough and shrewd enough not to sign the requisition himself, calling out the troops on the 12th of July, but what did he do?He got magistrates from outside of the city to do it, and they signed the requisition, and you all know what happened.The troops were oalled-out; they came from the country and.trom the city of Montreal not to protect the citizens, because we know from what the volunteers said before they left Sherbrooke tiiat \u201c there would be plenty of empty hats to fill that night in Montreal.\u201d No, these troops were not called out to maintain the peace, nor to protect the unfortunate young men who were upstairs in the Lodge room unable to go home.Had there been any disturbance or any fray that day there would have been very little protection for the citizens from these troops, but I was there, and I maintained the peace.Not on behalf of aay one section, but in the interest of the whole city at large.These young men who were confined in their Lodge room I sent home in cabs in the evening, and I thank God that I was able, as I did, to prevent bloodshed on that day.These are the reasons why I am not in favor of Mr.Bulmer.Mr.Bulmer has written to the papers denving this, but I will prove it after he has spoken, by the newspapers themselves.\u201d MR.BULMER\u2019S ADDRESS.Mr.Henry Bulmer also was received with much enthusiasm in coming forward said.\u2014 GENTLEMEX,\u2014I appear before you as a candidate for the Mayoralty at the request of a large numbez of citizens of all classes, nationalities and creeds.Last year the present Mavor stated from this platform that if re-elected then, it would be his last term.He has publicly repeated that statement on various occasions.To myself he has given his assurance that he would not oppose my election.It is with surprise, therefore, that I find him opposing me to- dav.Mr.Beaudry has had recourse to an old story of over twenty years\u2019 standing to oppose me with, but I am not ashamed of my recoad and not afraid to have it published.Iam proud of the measures that were passed when I was on the Road Committee.(Hear, hear.) I can refer with satisfaction to.the widening of Notre Dame street, which\u2019 to-day is one of our finest thoroughfares aud a credit to our fair city.(Hear, bear.) Iam also amazed and astonished to hear that he charges me with having been desirous of preventing the peace during the unfortunate troubles of that celebrated 12th of July.To all and every one of those charges I give a full and emphatic denial.(Hear, hear, and cheers.) There is not word of truth in it.(Applause.And I challenge him to prove it.\u201d (Hear, hear.) He made this statement once before in the cars in the presence of several of my friends, amongst others Mr.B.Rolland, and am sorry he is not here to prove it.I then challenged him in the presence of these people to prove it, aud that was not many weeks ago, to prove it, and I dared him to search the records of all the newspapers in the city, French and English, to corroborate what he said.More than that, I told him if he could prove any one of those charges, that I would at once resign my candidature (hear, hear.) Itold him to employ any one he liked to enquire into this in order to prove the charges, but he declined, and merely said that he was under that im- ression.Well, gentlemen, I 2gain chal enge him before you all to-day to prove these charges if he can.(A voice\u2014\u201c He can\u2019t do it.\u201d) And if he is desirous of knowing the truth, he will find in connection with the meeting he refers to that I was opposed to 1t, that I disapproved of it, that it was called without my consent, and that I did all in m power to cou- ciliate the bad feeling whic h existed at the time.I stated at the time, as I sat alongside of my friend Alderman David, that I disapproved of it, and if he were to-day he would bear me out.in what I say, that I expressed the opinion that the proper parties to keep the peace were the Mayor and Corporation.(Great applause.) What common honesty or fairness is there, then, in Mr, Beaudry making such charges against me?I ask you, gentlemen, if it is fair, if it is honourable.~(* No, no.\u201d) I would not have consented to accept the nomination unless I feit I had the support of all the different sections fof the community.The requisition showed me that [I had thatsupport.By a tacit understanding it was generally agreed, as a change had to be made, that 1t was the turn of an English-speaking Mayor.It was gratifying to find so large a num- Ber of my French-Canadian and Irish Catholic friends, with whom I have always lived on good terms, did me the honor of signiny my requisition, slong with so many of my own co-religionists.-1 accepted the requisition, and I now respectfully ask the electors for their votes and influence.I gm well aware of tlie onerous nature of the duties devolving upon the Mayor of = large city like this, L would not ~¢ my own will have sought the position, but if I am elected, ! gnall always endeavor to perform those duties in the best of my ability, and in a maaner that will reflect no discredit on your choice.\u2018I helieve there is a bright future for this now prosperous city, and it should be thqjdgsire of all to unite all our energies 10° promote its\u2019 advancement, (Cheers.) I am aware that the Mayor has not the controlling influence in the management of the city\u2019s finances, but 1 shall always be willing to advise the judicious and economical use of our resources.If I am elected, gentlemen, I shall earnestly endeavor to do my duty faithfully ; and in all questions that I can influence I shall do what I consider will be for the best interests of the city at large, irrespectively o nationality, creed or sectional interests.assure you further that I shall always use whatever influence I may have to promote harmony and good feeling among all classes of our mixed community.Should I be honored by your confidence as the result of this election, I shall hope to retire at the end of my term of office with the good opinion and respect of all our citizens of every origin.(Great applause.) Mr.Beaudry, holding a file of the HeraLD in his hand, here came forward and read from it the report of the proceedings before a meeting of magistrates on_the 5th of July, 1878.\u201c Here is what Mr.Bulmer then said,\u201d remarked Mr.Beaudry.< Mr, Bulmer thought that no action should be taken unless at a meeting where all classes of the community were represented.\u201d (Loud cheers and cries of \u201c That was square\u201d) | Mr.Beaudry (seeing his mistake) : \u201cSup- posing \u2014 (Cries of \u2018\u201c No suppositions.\u201d) Mr.Beaudry, continuin#, endeavoured to show that the Protestant magistrates, being in a minority ut the meeting in question, wished to adjourn it untul a larger Protestant vote could be obtained, but his remarks were received with derisive cheers.He then made a few re marks in French.Mr.Bulmer also addressed a few remarks to the electors in French, which were well received.Hon.Senator Thibaudeau was the next speaker.He spoke against raising the nationality cry.It had been said by some that duzing the past two or three months an underhand influence had been at work to get the majority for the French-Cana- diaus in the City Council.He protested against this as untrue.He opposed r.Bulmer, because in his opinion le was a political candidate.He had no objection towards Mr.Bulmer as a geutleman, but because he had managed to make himsslt highly objectionable 19 the French Canadian portion of the community.The French Canadians were ready to supportan English candidate : they acknowledged that it was an Englishspeaking citizeu\u2019s turn, but they did not intend to accept = aman who was objectionable to them.There were plenty of men that could be brought forward such as the Morrices, the Gauits, and the Mackays.Mr.Bulmer, had asked him to prove the allegations brought against him, but he had always neglected to de so, as it was a very delicate question.However, now that he had been put at defiance, through the press, he was prepared to speak.Mr.Bulmer was accused of having ordered the French flag to be taken down from a on the Exhibition Grounds in September, 1880, and he [the speaker] now had in his pocket the necessary document to establish the fact.The Minerve had said that it was a Dutch flag very much resembling the French flag.However, he was sure that Mr.Bulmer had ordered the flag down, because he thought it was French.One, Mr.Turgeon, had stated at the time through the columns of Lo Patrie that he was present when the thing was done.Mr.Thibaudeau again said that Mr.Beaudry had not broken his word as alleged.He had been forced to come forward, especially at the instance of Mr.Globensky and himself.He contended that Mr.Bulmer had no right to order down their flag, and said that was one of the reasons why they opposed hima.Mr.Beaudry remarked that Mr.Bulmer had ordered Mr.Gingras, one of his employes to take the flag down.Mr.Bulmer said there was no foundation whatsoever for this story.The French flag, after it had been put up, was found to be reversed, and it was taken down and replaced.Mr.P.Pelletier, advocate, then attempted to speak in French, but did so with much difficulty, owing to the noise ôf the crowd.He referred to the regrettezl death of the late Ald.Laberge, and to the fact that the Hon.Mr.Beaudry was the only one of the Corporation who purposely stayed away from the funeral.(Cries of shame, shame.) Mr.Pelletier endeavoured to proceed,but could not, owing to the great tumult among the crowd, which continued for some moments.Hou.Senator Thibaudeau again came forward, and attempted to speak in French.Mr.Pelletier\u2014 You have no right to speak.I have not had my turn.If they won\u2019t hear me, they won\u2019t hear you.\u201d Hon.Senator Thibaudeau, (addressing the electors)\u2014\u2018\u201c Will you hear me for five minutes.\u201d (Cries of no, no).Senator Thibaudeau, (continuing) \u2014 \u201c Well, look here, I am speaking for both candidates, (Cries of no, no.) The Hon.Senator endeavoured to continue his remarks, but his voice was drowned amid the perfect babel of voices among the electors who were evidently not favourable to Mr.Beaudry\u2019s caundida- turc.The tumult continued for several moments.Hon.Senator Thibaudeau maraged to make himself heard, and said, © Mr.Bulmer and myself have decided that we will settle the matter through the newspapers, consequently there is no reason why the meeting should be continued.(Cries of three cheers for Bulmers).Mr.E.K.Greene then came forward to speak in favour of Mr.Bulmer, and immediately the din ceased.Mr.Greene said that Mr.Beaudry had conducted the affairs of the Council well, and he gave him credit for it, But he had had his fair turn.(Applause).He referred to the greatness of Montreal.And what he wished had made the city great.It was by all nation-' alities working together in harmony for the general good (applause).When Mr.Nelson came forward Mr.Beaudry had opposed him because he could not speak French.Aud now it was asserted that if Mr.Gault or Mr.Morrice came forward they would not be opposed.But why, if this was the case, should they oppose Mr.Bulmer when he was endured by these gentlemen.He spoke against raising the question of nationality as prejudicial to the general welfare of the city.Mr.Greene having concluded, Hon.Senator Thibaudeau again attempted to speak for Mr.Beaudry, but again failed.Hon.Senator Thibaudeau (addressing electors), ©\u201c Will you hear me for one minute?\u2019 (Cries of no, no; sell out; Beaudry).; .Mr.Thibaudeau (in despair), Well then, \u2018gobtlemen, ll ng! speak.Good day\u201d The meeting was then brought to a termination with enthusiastic cheérs.for Mr.Bulmer, after which the gathering dispersed.THE ALDERMANIC

adjournment.There were present, Mr.L.H.Davidson (in the chair), and Messrs.Doherty and Glackmeyer.Dr.Robins continued his evidence, as follows ;\u2014 PRODUCING EXHIBITS.I produce, first, the reports of the l\u2019ro- testant Board of School Commissioners, from 1847 to 1871, as Exhibit G ; secoud- ly, report of same Board from January, 1872, to January, 1876, marked Exhibit H ; thirdly, regulations for city schools of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners, Exhibit I; fourthly, a state ment respecting the rtion of the Protestant schools of ontreal, dated 1878 as exhibit \u201cJ\u201d; fitthly, the curriculum of the two highest classes of the Common Schools being the programme of the Seniof school, as exhibit \u201cK\u201d; sixthly, prospectus of the High School for girls, 1882-83, as exhibit ¢ L\u201d; \u2018seventhly, prospectus of the High School for boys, Montreal.as exhibit \u201cM.\u201d Ialso produce duplicates of the monthly reports of the High, Senior and Common Schools for January 1883, with summary ; also the pay lists for the same for January 1883; also lists of free pupils attending such schools, and reports of attendance in the schools for the year ending 30th June 1882; and a summary statement respecting free schools, marked as exhibits from 1 to 37.Among these documents are two statements of accounts for December 1882 and January 1883, such as are rendered every month.THE BOARD REPLIES, I produce and fyle the statement of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners in answer to the letter signed \u201cJ.R.Allison,\u201d referred to at the first session, madtked Exhibit ¢N \u201d and on behalf of the Commissioners 1 would say that the writer of the leiter should Le subpænel and examined, if he can be found.FREE EDUCATION.There is no rule allowing any member of -the Board to obtain free education for his children.In the High and Senior Schools, children of employes pay half fees, and in the common schools fey are admitted free.COST OF SCHOOLS.I would like to make the following statement wifh regard to the cost of school erection in city of Boston was a Latin and English High School in which, in 1881, there were about 650 pupils, which cost $750,800, which is nearly twice the cost of all the school property of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners of Montreal.COST CF EDUCATION.The cost of education to the tax ef the city of Boston in the High School of Boston was $90.50 per head.In the grammar schools it was $29.36 per pupil per annum, and in the primary schools $18.15 per pupil per annum.There were 51,412 pupils in attendance, the ordinary expenditure for the instruction of whom was $1,559,677.51, and the total expenditure $1,775,037.16, theze sums being Ireespective of interest in school buildings.The total value of school property in Boston is $7,466,650, or $145 per pupil in attendance.The Government of Quebec nominates thirty free scholars to the High School.This idea grows out of the old High School arrangements.The Goverment has a right to nominate these pupils without consultation with the Board; but as a rule they accept the suggestion of the Board.There is a grant of $1,185 from the Government, whieh is, so to speak, the school fees of these pupils.The Commissioners pupils are promoted for proficiency from the common schools under the control of the Board, the condition being that they shall have answered correctly 75 per cent.of the questions put at the April examinations and more special ly 75 per cent.of the questions in Latin and French.Mr.Robins will conclude his evidence at the next meeting.Mr.Henry Evans, of this city, account- tant to the Protestant Board of School Commissioners, was sworn and said :\u2014I have been accountant to the Protestant: Board of School Commissipners of, Mont- | real for six years and a half, now past.I produce a statement showing a summary showing the cost of all the school property belonging to the Protestant Board of School Commissioaers, up to the 30th June, 1882, marked Exhibit \u201c0.\u201d Said statement shows the total cost of land, buildings, furnitare, etc., besides other general information.I produce also a statement showing details of expenditure on the High School building, specially marked Exhibit \u201cP.\u201d This shows the expenditure on the said building, furniture and land, up to 30th June, 1882.I am aware that the building was erected by contract, the amount whereof is mentioned in the statement as well as the amount paid for extras.I have given notarial copies of contracts which the Board may examine, as also receipts for all the amounts mentioned in said statements certified to by the clerk ot the works, John Chester, who was not in any way connected with any of the Board; but which I do not wish to part with as they form part of my records.ohn Chester had $3 per day and re ceived nothing else that I am aware, except inwork he did himself.I am quite.sure the amount of extras mentioned in said statement is correct as per vouchers in my profession.I produce printed statements of expenditure and revenue from Ist of July, 1876 up to 30th June, 1882, marked \u201cQ.\u201d These are the continuation of the printed statements in the previous reports fyled \u2018by Mr.Robins.I produce also a statement of the issue and sale of bonds marked exhibit \u201c R\u201d T have also deeds of all the landed property the Board, as well as contracts and vouchers for the buildings.The purchase of lands on Logan\u2019s farm was made for $18,000, cash, on 1st June, 1877.Our balance sheet for July, 1882, original of which I have before me (but cannot part with as we are obliged by law to keep it), signed by Court, Mac- Intosh & Hyde, shews that the assets exceeds the liabiliies by $101,202.81.The value contained in sald statements of proper, building, &c., are the actual cost.will produce a copy of the balance sheep marked \u201c8.\u201d The other buildings were built in the same way, as I see from the minutes, not being cognizant of it personally.My books are cxamined by a public auditor once a year and every month by the Secretary of the Board.To Dr.Robins\u2014He stated he was an accountant of long years\u2019 standing, and had been in the service of the British Government at Woolwich, As such I have never met, he said, with a system of checks so severely strict with regard to payments and rassa, Leon Derome, Louis David, G Bou- | driasy T Dupont, FC Barette, C Mageau, : | expenditures as under this Protestant Board.If I wereout a cent in MY ac- comnts I should hear of it, and this 1s different when reports have to come from dif ferent sources, 1 ma not at Flerty to pay of receipts, all of any account= out j { {which have to he deposited in the bank, so that my bank book must correspond with my receipts, a thing ! T never saw dune hefore in any place of business, Ile then eoucluded by saying that he was given 3109 at the beginning of every mouth, and could not pay more than $5 of it without a special order, and gave some minor explanations concerning the internal financial management of the Board.The Board then took recess.AFTER RECESS, The Board met at eight o\u2019élock.Mr.Elijah 8.Shelton was sworn and gave evidence to the effect that he was a large owner of real estate.He was on the Board of Management of a number of thecharitable ivstitutions of the city and consequently was in a position to know considerably the wants of the Board in this eity in educational matters and otherwise.He also had cun- siderable experience iu buildings.Being questioned by the Chairman, he state that the moncy received by the Board had not been expended in a judicious manner.The Old Hin School, for instance, he considered could have been made suitable for the education of the poor for some $2,000.He was most strongly opposed to the application that had been made for increased taxation for schools, as lie considered that the amount now received by the Board was sufiicient, if expended in a proper manner.He condenined the action of the Board in expending $140,000 for the erection of the High Sefivol, which he considered they were not justified in doing.He styled it as a misappropriation.The amount paid for the land\u201469 cents\u2014was also too high.The monies received by the Board from the Government and the rate payers was for the education of the children of the poor, and not those of the wealthier part of the community.He was also opposed to the manner in which the Board was now formed.He held that it should be appointed by the ratepayers, and responsible to them.The Board then adjourned until Thursday next their investigation of the Protetont school system.They resume their investigation of the Catholic Board this afternoon.The following are summaries of two of the statements presented by Dr.Robins: \u2014 lst.The salaries of the employes of the Board on January 30 last.One at the office of the Board ruceives $2,400 per an- num ;

momeut far the reading room, some sneaking thief must haye entered the Library Ty the back entrance.and stealing round by the counters to the small office, where the overcoats, hats and such parapharnalia are hung up, had taken them from the pecs and quietly decamped with them.Our representative recommended that the matter should be placed immediately before the police, and t5is Mr.Hamilton decided to do, but Lefore he could leave the room, in the hat, coat and gloves, borrowed frow the worthy Superintendents, tife caretaker, Mr.Young, eniered the apartment, looking anythin but a happy man.A few words suffices to enlighten all as to his trouble.While he was engaged in the cellar his overcoat and gloves also went to supply some other wardrobe, probably taken by the same thief or his associates.Such over?acts in broad daylight will, we hope, put other people on their guard, aud we can but sympathize with Mr.Hamilton and Mr.Young on their

Domâuion Alliance met again to-day and continued the discussion on the report of the Committec on Legislature, which contains several most important suggestions as to the proposed legislation on the temperance question.The repart of the Committee on the state of work suggested the engagement of the gentlemen who should devote their whole time to the dissemination of temperance principles, and also the idea of a temperance Sunday.The report was adopted.When the debate on , Robertson\u2019s resolution was resumed he asked permission to amend it, as follows: \u201cDoults having been raised in some quarters 4s-to the.jurisdiction of the Provincial Legislature to license and regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, in the event of the Deminion Parliament refusing to pass a prokibitory law, this Alliance earnestly urges upon the Dominion Gorernment to take the necessary steps to remove such doubts and to confirm in the Provincial Legislaures the power whichihey have exercised ince Confederation.Opposed the resolution and \u2018warned the\u2019 Alliance that it would be dangerous to- tamper with the Scott Act, In attempting to add to the Act they might lose the whole.After some further discussion the motion was put to the meeting and carried by a large majority.The remaining clauses by the legislation report were adopted.A permanent legislation, composed of members of Parliament, who are members, and officers of the Alliance were appointed.The Alliance resumed its sittings at 2 .m.Mr.Robertson, seconded by Mraul, moved that the Temperance Worker be adopted as the organ of the Alliance.An amendment was moved by Mr.Fee, and seconded by Mr.S.H, Labourveau, that whereas we believe the time has come when we should take steps on the question of prohibition, and whereas the rapidly growing sentiment of the people in this direction is looking to a total prohibitory liquor law for the whole Dominion, we recommend that the question of prohibition be submitted to Parlianient of Canada that a vote may be taken upon the principle, and this resolution be given to the Permanent Committee on legislation.Carried, The Special Committee reported unfavorably to assuming the liability asked in the appeal from the Manitoba branch.Mr.Gales, Montreal, Recording Secretary, was granted $100 for his services as Secretary.The report of the Committee on literature

Protest against the Egyptian Campaign.LORD WOLSELEY TAKES HIS SEAT Opposition of Conservatives to the Affirmation Bill.i Lonnox, Feb.15.\u2014The Imperial Parliament assembled to-day.The Queen\u2019s gpeech refers to the maintenance of good ralations with foreign powers.Speaking of the restoration of tranquility in Egypt, she says chat the withdrawal of the British troops is proceeding as expeditiously as the prudent consideration of the circumstances admit.The reconstitution of the Government of Egypt under the Khedive has been partly accomplished, and continues to receive her earnest attention.She has submitted to the Sultan and the Powers for a friendly consideration of the fitted to insure the stability of the Khedive\u2019s Government, the prosperity and the happiness of the Égyptians, the security of the Canal and the peace of Eastern Europe.Her policy has been and will be directed to those objects and she relies upon its just appreciation by other countries.\"The renewals of the disorders in Zululand has engaged her attention.She hopes the restoration of Cetewayo will lead to the establishment of a more stable government and the maintenanez af good relations between the Zulus and Cape Colony.The estimates for the\u201d coming year are in a forward state of preparation, and will soon be submitted.She is happy to state that the improvement in the social condition of Ireland continues.Agrarian crime has sensibly diminished, and the law has been everywhere upheld.Measures will be submitted for the establishment of a Court of Criminal Apeal, for preventing corrupt practices and for perpetuating and amending the Ballot Act.proposal will also be submitted to secure to tenants in England and Scotland compensation for agrienltural improvements.She refers to the time devoted in recent years by Parliament for the most urgent needs of Ireland, and says that the elaims of general legislation for other parts of the Kingdom now demand its just regard.She trusts, however, that Parliament will be able to deal with some legislative wants of Ireland for which provision has not yet been made, A meeting of Irish members of Parliament was held to-day at which a letter was read frem Mr.Healy, M.P., dated Kilmainham, complaining of his treatment in prison, and also protesting against the illegalttyjof his imprisonment.The meeting determined to raise the question of privileges in the House, and move for a Select Committee of 1nquirÿ.In the House of Commons Mr.Parnell rose in his place, and moved that a select committee be appointed to enquire into the avrest of ME, Healy and 10.amendment to the address was rejactod Ly 353 to 47.The Speaker read a letter announcing the arrest of Mr.Healy.The Marquis of Hartington said that as privileges members were unaffected by such an arrest the Government would not move for a Committee of Inquiry.The Attorney-General opposed Mr.Parnell\u2019s motion, contending that in cases of crimes the Government left members to find their remedy elsewhere than in the House of Commons.There is a prospect of a lengthy debate.Sir Stafford Northcote regretted the absence of Mr.Gladstone.The Government ought to have made some announcement regarding the Affirmation Bill in the Speech from the Throne, He said Englishmen had as much right to know the Government\u2019s intentions regarding Egypt as in relation to other countries.He urged tue Government to act with vigour and wisdom in Ireland.Lord Hartington said the Affirmation Bill was not a part of the Government\u2019s special programme, He challenged criticism regarding the conduct of Egyptian affairs.Russia, he stated, was not unfavourable to the effort being made to reorganize Egypt.Sir Wilt Lawson (Radical), moved an amendment to the Address, that no sufficient reason was shown for the employment of British troops in the reconstituting of Egypt.Mr.Labouchere seconded the motion.In the House of Lords Lord Wolseley took his oath amid cheers.In the House of Commons Sir S.Northcote was cheered on entering.The Speaker read a letter from Bradlaugh, declaring that the House having refused to hear him or his constituents, he should do all the law required in the endeavor to sit and vote.Lord Hartington said the Government would introduce a bill authorizing the members to make an affirmation.Sir R.A.Cross stated he would oppose the bill.During the debate on Healy\u2019s im- risonment, Messrs.McCarthy and Mconnell spoke on his behalf.Mr.Trevelyan said that Healy\u2019s offence was one of a most serious character, considering the condition of Ireland.Mr.Goist (Conservative) complained that the Government had given no precedent for its action regarding Healy.The Attorney-General only quoted an antiquated case from the days of Stuart.The case of Healy should be treated as that of an English member of Parliament.Parnell gave notice that he would introduce a bill amending the Land Act.McCarthy gave notice that he would introduce a bill abolishing Irish Vice- Royalty.HOUSE OF LORDS.In the House of Lords the Marquis of Salisb complained that the Queen\u2019s Speech did not state when the last British troops would quit Egypt.Great credit, he said, was due to Earl Spencer, for his administration of affairs in Irelnnd, but the measures relative to Ireland introduced by the Government were a failure.Lord Granville said, Lord Salisbury\u2019s criticism were based on gossip and after- dinner speeches, No member of the Government would declare for anything like Home Rule for Ireland.Itwould be indiscreet to announce when the troops would leave Egypt.Their policy was, acting for the interests of France and all the other powers, as well as their own.The address in reply to the Speech from the Throne was adopted, and the House adjourned.arrangements which appeared to her best: | (HOM THE OLD WORLD, Bradlaugh Goes to Westminster With

people he left Trafalgar square for the ouse of Commons te-day.There were about five thousand men, delegates from London clubs and forty provincial towns, in the crowd.The pracession formed near the Nelson monument, got into line and then marched in straggling columns along Whitehall to Westminster.The @rowd was orderly, and there was no in- texrference from police.Many of the segtions of the crowd sang labour songs.A few were excitedly declaiming while the larger part of the men tramped steadily silent, but evidently in earnest, Bradlaugh\u2019s arrival at the House of Commons was the signal for great cheering from the crowd that followed him.He drove up to the members\u2019 entrance in the Palace ard in triumph, and as he entered the obby, he was again loudly cheered.Mrs.Besant and the Misses Bradlaugh were resent in the great hall.In the ouse of Commons at the close of the reading of Bradlaugh\u2019s letter by the Speaker, the Government announced officially that it was the intention of the Ministers to propose the Affirmation Bill.Amid cries of \u201cOh, oh!\u201d Mr, Bradlaugh said he would postpone any further action until this bill ad been discussed.Mr.Bradlaugh and his friends then lef: the.House, and the announcement of the proposed action of the Government was made to the people outside, who quietly dispersed, and the Bradlaugh demonstration ended without further incident.having termini in London agreed not to grant the usual facilities to those applying for special trains for to-day, on the ground that Mr.Bradlaugh had announced a meeting for to-day, and that excursion trains might be used for political purposes.An impression prevails that the law forbids any public meeting or demonstration within a mile of Westminster Hall, but Mr.Labouchere says this is not.What the law forbids is any meeting within these limits to petition Parliament to alter the law.A meeting is lawfu! when it is convened not to ask Parliament to afer the law but to obey the law.\u2018Ane Times\u201d and Cannda.Mires?Lane 2221 La dEU ENS F VOUCLULAY a Min ritigses unfavorably that portion of Sir Alexander Galt\u2019s speech last Friday in which he attributed much of the present prosperity of Canada to the effects of a protective tariff.The Times considers that the prosperity of the Dominion is due to the general revival of trade which began in the autumn of 1879, and remarks that it will be interesting to see what Sir Alexander will say when the usual cyclic movement has ended, and business is again dull everywhere.Probably then again he will set to work to persuade the Canadians to add another row of bricks to the Chinese wall with which they have surrounded themselves.FRANCE.The Cabinet Crisis.Paris, February 15.\u2014Judging from present indications a conflict between the two Chambers is inevitable.Neither will recede from the positions assumed, each claiming to have pushed conciliation to the last limits.It is difficult to say how the matter will end, but it seems impossible that the lower Chamber can accept the Waddington-Say projet.It simply assures immunity to the Orleanist plotters, for, according to the terms of the project, nothing but amovert act of rebellion can bring them within the operations of the law.It is not believed that the Senate will pass the Expulsion Bill as amended by the Chamber of Deputies.The Chambers of Deputies considered the Expulsion bill.Proust, Bepublican, moved Barley\u2019s proposal with the modi- fiaction of placing the princes under the half pay instead of depriving them of military rank be

year\u2019s imprisonment for threatening to murder President Grevy.Rochetort\u2019s Views.Rochefort affirms in his organ, that Say only presented his amendment after a conference at Chantilly with the Due d\u2019Aumale.If rejected legislature on the subject will be adjourned for over three months, as no new law relating to it can be introduced in either House during that period.Ferry and Freycinet, The resignation of the Ministry brings the rival claims of Ferry and Freycinet on the tapis.The former who has been actively intriguing in view of it for weeks back, cannot secure a majority in the lower Chamber and is sure to meet with bitter antagonism from all parties in the upper Chamber.The fact, taken in conjunction\u2019 with the President\u2019s well known artiality for Freycinet and

audience in the National History Society Room\u2019s last evening by Prof.Darey, of McGill College, on the interesting subject, \u201cA Trip through the White Mountains during the summer of 1882.\u201d Principal Dawson presided anl Lrietly introduced the lecturer, who commenced by describing his journey over the Grand Trunk Railway, through the Eastern Townships.Afler passing into the state of New Hamphshire the paneltar rises to a plateau of about 1,600 feet above the sea, about 43 miles in length and 30 in breadth.Upon this lateau rises what is known as the White Mountains.The origin of the name is not exactly known.Some attribute it to the haziness of the region, and others to the snow with which it is covered in the fall.The lecturer proceeded to narrate his journey over the road, and his impressions of Knowlton, Newport, and St.Johnsbury.In connection with a visit to the Fairbank\u2019s scale manufactory at the latter place, he told an interesting story of how the elder Fairbanks came to invent the platform scales.He had, it appears, boughta large quantity of flax, and had to weigh it with the old fashion scales.This took a great deal of time, and set him to thinking as to how it would be possible to invent a platform scale, so as to weigh a whole load at a time.He set about it and finally discovered it.He referred to the munificent donations by the Fairbanks to the town and said that in no other place had he seen such taste displayed as at St.Johnsbury.He next proceeded to relate the incidents of his journey to Mount Washington and his impressions of its celebrated scenery, giving some interesting reminiscences of his experience.The lecture, which was listened to throughout with marked attention, and at the finish a vote of thanks was returned to the lecturer.The next lecture of the course will be delivered on Thursday evening next by Dr.Robert Bell, of the Geological Survey, on \u2018 The Athabaska and Mackenzie Basin.\u201d

PARK.MURDERS Resorption of the Exemination of the Accused, FURTHER CONVINCING EVIDENCE.The Murder Minutely Described hy the Witnesses, EXCITEMENT IN DUBLIN.Duaurx, February 15.\u2014At the adjourned trial to-day of the men charged with she assassination of Lord Cavendish and Uuder-Secretary Burke, the Government produced several important witnesses.It will, according to report, be in the power of the Crown to prove positively that four men took part in the murders, that two men suddenly seized Lord Cavendish and Mr.Burke, while the other two stabbed them.Only two knives were used, which had been especially prepared for the deed.The Crown witnesses will, it is said, give the names of the actual murderers, and thus complete the testimony necessary to send them before a Jury.The Crown will offer.proof as to the actual details of the murder.Witnesses are expected to prove that Lord Cavendish and Mr.Burke, at the moment when they were first wounded, violently wrenched them- gelves from the grasp of the assassins.In doing so they faced the men who lad seized them, but exposed their backs to the men who held the knives which were used with such terrible effect.The victims became separated in the struggle ; both, however, fell, and then the assassins completed their work.Every stab was in a vital part.It is now known that Lord Cavendish could have escaped by flight if he had not determined to remain and try to protect Burke.The assassins would not have pursued either of their victims.No arrangements had been made for their pursuit, as the plans of the murder could hardly fail of success, being rehearsed for some time at their secret meetings.The greatest excitement prevails all over the city.The witnesses are closely guarded by the police, and the usual military precautions are being taken.Threats are heard of a rescue, but tha Government says that any attempt to frustrate the course of justice will be promptly punished.; THE THIAL.The court room was densely crowded when the trial was resumed this morning.As on the previous occasions there were a number of privileged spectators, besides a number of police officers on duty.There were several high police officials present, who watched the proceedings with interest.The prisoners arraigned this morning were James Carey, Joseph Brady, Timothy Kelly, Pat Hanlon, Daniel Curley, Dennis Fagan, Patrick Delaney, Fitzbarris alias \u201cThe skin,\u201d and Thos.Caffrey.Patrick Cahill deposed that in assing the Chapel Izod gate on the evening of the 6th May, he saw a car driving rapidly out of Pheenix Park.One man on the car Le identified as Caffrey This comp etes the quartette of men who were on the car.Another witness named Glenn, a bricklayer, identified James Carey, the Town Councillor, as being on the scene of the murders.Thetwo others were dressed like gentlemen.The prisoners in the dock laughed heartily at this evidence.The notion that their accomplices were described as being dressed like gentlemen seemed to amuse them.The witness Hurley pointed out Timothy Kelly as being one of a number of men standing among the trees in Pheonix Park hiding, but on the watch at the time of the murders.The witness Murray also swore to seeing several men standing among the trees, but was uneqal to identify any of them.This witness, however, was able to identify Fitzharris, alias \u201cThe Goat,\u201d as standing at the head of the horse attached to the car, The witness Meagle who was passing through the park at the time of the murders testified that he saw four men tuss- nlig.One man fell, but he could not say who it was.Joe Brady was among them.He at first thought de could identify Fagan, but was not sure and refused to swear to him.During the tria! counsel complained of the crowded state of the court room, and suggested that some limit should be placed on the nnmber of spectators admitted.The objection was made on the part of the Government, it is said, in order to prevent any possibility of a rescue of the prisoners.After several of the prisoners\u2019 witnesses had been examined in corroboration of previous evidence, the Court adjourned until Saturday.All future sittings will be held with closed doors and the public excluded.Members of the press will be allowed to be present.Rumoured Arrest of M.P's, LoxpoN, Feb.15.\u20141t is rumoured

another was the side containing the letter press, and a perfectly blank piece on each side was the paper that lay between.Many people who have not seen this done might think it im possible yet it is not only possible, but extremely easy, as we shall show.Geta piece ot plate glass, and place iton a sheet of paper ; then ict the latter be thoroughly Dekced.With a little dexterity the sheet can be split by the top surface being removed.But the best plan is to paste a plece of cloth or strong paper to each side of the sheet to be split.When dry, violently and withont hesitation, pull the two pieces asunder, when part of the sheet will be found to have adhered to one and part to the other.Soften the paste in water, and the peices can be easily removed from the cloth.The process is generally demonstrated as a matter of curiosity, yet it can be utilized in various ways.If we want to paste in a scrap-bouk a newspaper article printed on both sides of the paper, and possess only one coy, it is very convenient to know how to detach the one side from the other.The paper when split, as may be imagined, is more transparent that it was before being subjected to the operation, and the printing ink is somewhat duller ; otherwise the two pieces [pre sent the appearance of the original if again brougt together.Sometime ago the information of how to do this splitting was advertised to be sold for a considorable sum, We now impart it to all our readers gratuitously.\u2014 Bvitish and Colonial Printer und Stationer.\u2014It is reported in Paris that Lepelletier, a Director of the Credit de France, has been arrested.\u2014The Niagara Falls State Park Bill was before the Assembly Committee at Albany, N.Ÿ., yestorday.After hearing evidence on both sides, it was resolved to report the bill favourably.\u2014A young lawyer said that he had recently settled in a certain town to try and make and honest living when a bystander facetiously remarked that le ought to succeed, as there was not much competition in his profession.\u2014A great Irish orator and wit was asked what an Irish friend of his, who had just arrived in London, could mean b perpetually putting out his tongue.suppose he\u2019s trying to catch the English accent,\u201d said the wit.\u2014-Let concealment, like a worm in the bud, etc.\u201c Yes,\u201d he said, that setter dog of mine is mighty smart and does lots of cute things.But see, no matter how closaly I atuck to the truth folks.would think 1 lied.\u201d NOTICH:.Notice is hereby given that the firm of BOYD, EGAN CO, Warehousemen, Customs and Forwarding Agents, of 13 Common Street, Montreal, was dissolved on the 30th December Last, and the business has been placed in the hands of Charles H.Walters, Merchant, and Edward Evans, Accountant, as joint trustees for the purpose of liquidation.SAM EL W.BOYD, CHRISTOPHER EGAN, HUGH M.BOYD.Montreal, 5th January, 1883.The \u2018indersigned Trustees request creditors of the firm of Boyd & Egan to file their claims with them, and all parties indebted to the firm are requested to pay their indebtedness forthwith to the under signed.CHAS \u2019 *H.WALTERS ag EDWARD EVANS.\u2019 an.6.MOLINO DEL REY.A Delicate, Dry, Non-Alcoholi¢ Sherry.Direct from the Duke of Wellington\u2019 Estate, at Gllora.SOLE AGENT, FRED.KINGSTON, 95 HOSPITAL STREET, Montreal November 25 282 fC Ata a hes un LAN Lah Bh AN PIN "]
