instead of allowing 6 per cent.for cash down, 3 per Fcent.be the figure; and instead of 5 per cent.for payment within 30 days, 2 per cent.be allowed; and instead of 4 per cent.for 60 days to allow only 1 per cent.\u2014\u201cThrowing oil on troubled waters\u201d it would appear is more than a mere saying.That vessels can be saved in a storm by the towing of perforated bags of oil astern has been fully demonstrated.The last case reported is that of the British steamer \u201cStanmore.\u201d During a voyage from Queenstown the vessel encountered a heavy gale, the force of which, combined with the heavy seas, prevented the vessel from making headway and threatened in the end to sink her, Seeing this the master tried the efficiency of towing a bag of oil astern with the most fortunate results.The force of the waves was broken and his steamer was saved, This simple measure is being tried oftener as these successful experiments are made known, and we trust that other ship- masters will give an account of their trial with oil.The use of oil as a preventive of disaster, should be more common than it is, and shipowners and marine underwriters should impress this fact on shipmasters.\u2014Our San Franscisco exchanges report that there isa plan on foot to establish a line of steamships on thé Pacific Ocean in connection with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, from Kansas City fo Guaymas, thence a steamship line 18 fo run a number of the finest iron vessels direct to the Sandwich Islands, Auckland, New Zealand, then Sydney, there connecting with another steamship line for Melbourne and all parts of Australia, or by way of the Sandwiches to Yokohama, J apan and the Chinese ports.2Ymas, it is claimed by the promoters of this scheme, is the finest Pacific Coast port.The town lies on a slope, with Plateaus that act as rain sheds, leaving the aty thoroughly drained.The largest steamships in the world, can, it is claim- od, go right up to the docks to unload.Any sized fleet can find harborage.Among other advantages claimed, it is pointed out that it is right near the mouth of the gulf of California.It is 600 miles nearer Australian and Japanese and Chinese © steamship ports than San Francisco, the Present port for that traffic.\u2014The want of a uniform system in fonnage.rreasurement has for some time been à source of much difficulty in the compilation of comparative statistics relating to British and foreign shi ing.For sailing vesscls the so-called \u201c Moorsom\u201d sygtem has been universally adopted, but that is not the case with respect to Steamships, and the statistician in dealing with them has to consider also the various systems of allowance for engine and coal room which obtain in different countries, The principal of these s .ystems are the English and the.German, The former is the Lit England, France and Sweden; m atter obtains practically throughout the rest of the Continent.The allow- Te for engine room given under the of 8h System are.considerably in excess those given under the German, the er excess amounting to 12 per cent.dollows that in the usual officia figures, when they are used for comparative pur- Poses, either the English and the French) con Juereantile marine is undervalued ying capacity by 12 per cent., or the Seunan, the Austrian, the Italian, a eN OIwegian steam mercantile ma- es ae over-estimated.In 1881 the ww der ;

He feared that the mover had looked at the operations of the Company through colored spectacles, as for his part he personally knew that -the Company had complied \u201cwith the settlement conditions of their contract.They had built a number of superior houses for their settlers and he himself was a witness to the fact, for he liad been in one of them and.dined with the happy family residii gin it.He denied that the Compauy were merc speculators and only established for speculative purposes, He claimed that thev had spent large sums on road-making, \u201chouse building und land clearing; thatthey had taken no timber of the land but such as was ne- essary for clearing purposes, and that thev had not shipped one single carload of hunber away, à8 enquiry from the railway fines had fully established.He went on to refer to the various schemes which had been tried in this Province for settling up {the Government Lad abundant security \u2014 suecessfu! and the latest bein companies.which he adde prove very successful either, but at all events it should have a fair trial.Moreover while he believed both Government and the Company had Leen acting uprightly in the matter he contended that this one by might not against any wrongdoing.having in fact the remedy in their own hands to recy] the grant.\u201d (Applause.) C Mr.Irvine said the circumstaness of this grant had come under his notice in a special manner and he might add a word on the subject, It had been asked why had the late Government acted in the matter against a recommendation of a Committee of the House.It was probably because they were so confident of their majority that they were çareless of the consequences so'long as they carried their own views.He did not intend to apply these remarks altogether to the ex-Commissioner of Crown Lands (Mr.Flynn) for he believed that he had only executed the policy of his Government in this particular against his own inclinations.It was only necessary to look at the names of the promoters of the en- texprise to see where the influence came from.They had made an application for 100,000 acres of land to be lotted them for colonization purposes.Now he did not believe in colonization companies at all nor did he believe that this was one or ever intended to, be such.The lands in question were covered with valuable timber, and such lands were not generally the best for settlement.He believed that it was capable of proof that settlers had been paid to stay upon the lands, and that the real number of settlers placed upon it was so small that the company had counted the children of original settlers.The difficulty of settling new lands in this Province was such that he was sure no company with large capital could afford to engage in this work long.The object of the company in question was evidently to make money out of the timber upon the lands, this fact having been fully brought out in a suit between them and the limit- holders.The ambiguity of the Order-in- Council granting the lands was such that the six Judges \u201cbefore whom it had been cited, one Superior Court Judge, and five of the Court of Appeals, had been divided as to its meaning.When granted to the company in question the 100,000 acres of land was actually under license to a firm qf timber merchants who had inherited it from their father.From many years all the crown dues, etc., had been paid upon it, yet an injustice of the gravest kind was done towards them by the Government, which for so many vears had taken their money.He said that after the land had been allotted Mr.Flynn had written to the Company, stating that he regretted there were squatters upon it, whose existence had not been previously reported to the Government, The Company were not inclined to make an exception in their favour, but finally an agreement was made with them by the Government, to ensure the rights of the settlers.The condition under which the land was allotted, compelled the Company to locate forty settlers during the first year and sixty during the second, and to clear ten acres out of 500 in order to secure a patent.Last session Mr.Flynn had said the conditions would be strictly enforced, and yet the time for settling forty families was subsequently extended from the 7th April to the 30th June, and after this the company had counted settlers previously on the land in order to make up the total number required by.the conditions of the grant.By the Tth April next the second year would be up, and he wanted to know if there would he 100 settlers on the land by that date.He trusted the Government would strictly adhere to the terms of the grant made.No doubt certain influences would be brought to bear upon them, but he trusted the Government would see to it, that the conditlons made would be strictly carried out, and the grant of the lands cancelled in order that fhe spoliation of our Crown lands should be at once and forever checked.Mr.Lynch complimented Mr.Picard upon the manner in which he had laid the subject before the House, and hoped he would be convinced that the action taken in the matter by himself and by Lis predecessor, the member for Gaspe, had been such as would convince the House that they had acted in what they conceived to be the best interests of the Province.The result of the present colonization scheme might possibly be as disastrous as others that had preceded it, as for instance had been the scheme of the Whyte reserve, yet in setting apart that reserve he was quite sure the Joly Government had no other desire than to encourage what it believed to be a scheme calculated to prove of benefit to the Province.Mr.Joly said he did not-think his Government had made the grant to Mr.Whyte.Mr.Flynn said he could give the date of the grant.It was April 4, 1879.Mr.Joly said the scheme must then have been inaugurated before the time of his Government, because he was in England in the end of April, 1879, and the Duke of Manchester had complained to him of the unfair manner in which settlers were treated under that scheme, go that it must then have been some time in operation.Mr.Lynch explained that when Mr Marchand was Commissioner of Crown Lands, he had at least extended the provi- signs of the grant.He had mentioned this, nôt in any way as a reproach, but to show that honesty of purpose in such matters as this induced y cartnestness of representation were apt to result disastrously.It might prove thus in the present instance.The scheme had been first laid before the Joly government, then before that of Mr.Chaplean by whom it had been encoyraged in the hope that it would benefit the great cause of emigration, and here he expressed his admiration for the remarks made in English by Mr.Picard, when he said that he favored honest emigration no matter from what country it came.He hoped these sentiments would be endorsed by members on both sides of the House no matter what their origin as the most desirable means of building up a steady and industriou popu- mation.He would not go into the history of the present scheme for it was contained in « return brought down last session, but the last Order-in-Council in connection with the affair was the exten- gion of the time to complete bringing out forty settlers to the 30th June last.The refusal to willingly recognize the rights of the 50 settlers found upon the land granted them was very ungenerous.The permission to count the squatters into the number of settlers was not given in accordance with the Originai conditions, but was desirable, as tending to settle what was a burning question in that part of the country.When he (Mr.Lynch) took charge of the Department he found that the company had been guilty of such bad faith towards the Government as to have taken actions of ejectinent against the original squatters.A full and most impartial report on the state of aflairs in question, including the number of settlers, &c., had been made by Mr.Kemp, an officer of his department, and he was sorry to say it was not of a nature to uphold the actions of the company.He believed it would be his duty, providing the conditions under which the grant was made were not complied with to take steps for its cancellation.He endorsed what had been said of colonization companies, generally, and believed they were calculated to promote the best interests of the Province.Tor this reason he had found it his duty to discountenance several such.AFTER RECESS, Mr.Flynn continned the debate.He coraplimented Mr.Picard upon his zeal in the cause of colonization and thanked the other members who had spoken upon their kindly expressions respecting himself, which he contended formed a complete Justification of the acts of the late Government.But, at the same time the thought the public should not beallwed to re- mein under the slghtest false impaession regarding a transaction which had been Plain, straightforward and above board.e accordingly proceeded to point out that there was a material difference between the proposal which was rejected by the Committee of Agriculture, Commissioner Marchand, and by himself, in the first instance, and that finally accepted by the Chapleau Government, of which lie was a member.The first application was from a Mr.Gunn to purchase 300,000 acres.The last was from a Mr.Stockwell, representing a company of British capitalists, and professing to be desirous of settling a large number of immigrants from the British lsles in the Eastern Townships, clearing the land by machinery, building model cottages for settlers, and carrying on cattle raising for the export trade on an extensive scale.Lord Dunmore was at the head of the proposed company, and his demand was not only favoured with all the prestige of ample capital to successfully realize its objects, but supported by the most respectable and influential citizens of Quebec, who were known to be concerned in the promotion of Agriculture and colonization.Under the circumstances it was difficult, if not impossible, for the Government to refuse the application more parti- larly, when it ie remembered that it was desirable to avoid leaving the majority of the Province open to- a charge of exclusi- vism, with respect to the English and Protestant element in a country where the Government represented no nationality or creed in particular, but- the whole community.e then went on to refer to the difficulty which arose between tne company and the squatters, and between the company and the license holders, as well as to the resultant litigation on the company\u2019s pretensions that it was the owner and not the simple trustee as he believed it to be.The position taken by the com- ny in the matter was not found on the Drder-in-Council, but he contended that on the whole the Province had gained by the transaction $24,000, having already been paid to the Government by the company.This transaction was a much better one than the reserve made to Jas.White on 4th April, 1879, by Mr.Marchand, to which the Hon.Commissioner of Crown Land had referred.After remarks from Mr.Joly in defence of the action of his Government in connection with the White colonization scheme.Mr.Mousseau said the burden of proof was to the effect that all these colonization companies had turned out unsatisfactory.For his part he considered it very undesirable that any third party, for purposes of gain, should come between poor settlers and the Government.The only aid likely to be beneficial to the \u2018Government in the matter was that derivable from charitable or religious societies.He promised to see that the company fulfilled the conditions of their contract, or its would be revoked at the proper time.(General applause.) M.Picard accepted the admission thankfully, but remarked that before the litigation of the subject was ended with the Company and the license holders the Government would probably lose more than $24,000 obtained from the Company.The motion then passed.Mr.Gauthier moved for a correspondence between the Attorney-General, and L.A.Billy, Dominion member of Parliament for Rimeuski en re the propriety of his continuing to hold his office as district magistrate for Rimouski, while representing the County at Otiawa.Mr.Mousseau considered the two positions occupted by Mr.Billy absolutely incompatible and that it was extremely dangerous for a politician to be entrusted with the administration of justice while engaged in active politics.On his taking office he had represented this to Mr.Billy, but had received no reply.Mr.Billy had since heen written to officially and if no answer was received in a few days he would be dismissed.(Applause.) The motion passed.Mr.Paquet moved for copies of corres- ondence concerning the granting of beach ots at Levis, along the new le of the I.C.R.Carried.THE BEAUPORT ASYLUM.Mr.Mercier then brought forward his motion relative to the Beauport Asylum contract, which has already been published in the HERALD.Infsupport the mover referred to the, reminder givenfto the Chapleau Government, that they were about to sell the North Shore Railway withont consulting the Legislature, and to the fact that this prediction had been verified, the House being given no choice between accepting the conlract made by that Government and a ministerial crisis.He warned the House that an attempt would be made to play the same game in the renewal of the Beauport Hsylum contract, involving an expenditure of nearly $2,000,060 during «the next ten years.and argued that such conduct would not only prove that there was something to hide, but be an insult to the House and people, and a direct violation of British Constitutional practice.He claimed that in so important a matter and when the Government was considering the renewal of the contract, its conditions should be submitted to the House.The House was not simply to register the will of Ministers, but to aid and control the Government.They were the servants of the Crown, but the representatives of the people, whose will had to be obeyed under penalty of Ministerial defeat.They should be consulted as to the conditions of a contract, which promised to be exceedingly borthensome upon the Province, more par- ticnlurly when it was considered that the proprietors of the asylum were already receiving a very much larger per eapita rate than the two other asylum or in Ontario.According to the Treasurer's own admission, the financial situation was so strained that the least accident could upset his calculation, unless he received the better terms from Ottawa, suggested by him (Mercier).He appeal to every honest and patriotic member to rise above party considerations and the fear of Ministerial crisis or general elections, and join him in forcing the Government to bring down this important contract before it was practically closed.Mr.Mousseau admired the Opposition leader\u2019s ability to make mountains of mole hills.but Le could not understana his re- pronches about «tains, concealment and cowardice against the Government in this matter.Where was he when the millions involve! in the North Shore road were voted away.Absent, when he should have been in his seat to protect the threatened rights of the people for whom he now professed so extraordinary an affection.He was the last er me = ee assumption that the Government ware about to reniew the contract with the Beauport, Asylum the Opposition seemed Letter in-formed than the Govern: ment, who had rot yet decided upon the course, but would decide within \u2018the next eight = days, though he would not say that they would not decide in favor of Beauport.The Premiler went on to argue that the contrasts sought to be instituted between Beauport and the other two provincial asylums, where only idiots were kept, were gross] unfair to the former.Moreover it shoul not be forgotten that Beauport was the only establishment of its kind to which the afflicted among an important element, the British and Protestant comunity could be sent.As for the comparizon with Ontario he contended that the maintenance of insane there cost more than at Boauport.In conclusion, he said the contract which the Government would bring down would commend itself to both sides of the House and to the public.and which could be accepted without fear.The Gavernment would not allow themselves to be frightened or blinded by such reports as that of the syndicate said to be forming at Montreal, but would do their duty fearless in the matter.Ag for the Opposition leaders claiming to have forced upon the Government its policy of \u201c Better terms,\u201d as he maladroitly styled it, but which he (the Premier) styled the policy of our rights, he denied the justice of that claim.It was he (the Premier) who had originated this policy, and at a time, too, when he had nothing to gain by it in Provincial popularity, when Tie was a colleague of Sir John Macdonald.He referred to the Sorel meeting and to his declaration in favour of that policy on that occasion.He contended that the financial situation was not critical.We were only temporarily embarrassed by our large expenditure tor railways, which would in a short time return a hundred fold.We were publicly and privately better off than Ontario.Our municipality and people owed little or nothing, while Ontario was crippled with mortgages and burdens of many kinds, which explained why 80 many were of late fleeing westward from that Province.Before sitting down he said he regarded the Opposition leader\u2019s motion as one of want of confidence.Mr.Joly contended that the rule in England was that such contracts has to be for a month on the table, and that they were not binding upon Parliament before being 80 submitted and accepted by the House.He admitted that Beauport was well kept but condemned an asylum which made it more profitable to retain patients than to labor for their cure, and in this connection paid the highest cpmpliment to the Ontario system.; Mr.Desjardins followed in a long and vehement apeech in support of the Government and concluded by moving in amendment that the House had confidence that the Government in entering into a new contract with the proprietors of Beauport Asylum, which would be submitted to the Aouse for approval according to the promise of the Premier, would be guided by a wise and proper appreciation of public Interests.Mr.Garneau seconded the amendment and spoke in its support.REST AND COMFORT TO THE SUFFERING.\u201c Brown\u2019s Housemoup PANACEA\u201d has \u2018no equal for relieving pain, both internal and external.Itcures Pain in the Side, Back or Bowels, Sore Throat, Rheumatism Toothache, Lumbago and any kind of a Pain or Ache.\u201cIt will most surely quicken the Blood and Heal, as its acting wer 18 wonderful.\u201d ¢ Brown's Houseold Panacea.\u201d being acknowledged as the great Pain Reliever.and double the \u2018the strength of any other Elixir or other Liniment inthe world, should be in every family handy for use when wanted, \u20ac as 1t really is the best remedy in the world for Cramps in the Stomach, and pains and Aches of all kinds,\u201d and is for sale by all Druggists at 25 cents a bottle.wim Miscellaneous.ACCOUNT BOOKS 1883 !

Mr.DUPONT asked whether it is the intention of the Government to continue during next summer the work of imprev- ing the River Yamaska, so a8 to render that river navigable from the mouth to the City of St.Hyacinthe, and if so, what sum the Government intend to expend on the said work during next summer.Sir HECTOR LANGEVIN said it was the intention of the Government to continue said improvement.Mr.CURRAN asked whether any action has been taken by the Government with reference to the petitien of about fifteen thousand citizens of Montreal praying for an investigation into the trial of Julie Boisvert, convicted of murder, or if Government intends to take action thereon ?Sir JOHN MACDONALD replied that the Government had already taken action, they having asked for an investigation, and they had already reccived a report upon the subject.Mr.GRANDBOIS asked whether any railway company has taken advantage of the provisions of chapter 14 of the Statutes of Canada, 45 Vic., granting a subsidy of $3.208 per mile for a proposed railway from Edmunston to Riviere du Loup or Riviere Ouelle ?Sir CHARLES TUPPER replied that no company had yet \u2018applied to take advantage of the provisions.Mr.CASGRAIN asked whether it is the intention of the Government to build during the coming summer the extension of the wharf at St.Jean Port Joli, conformably to the vote granting a sum of money for this purpose at the last session of Parliament?Sir HECTOR LANGEVIN said his department had the subject under considers- tion.MOTIONS FÜR RETURNS.Mr.BOURASSA moved for correspondence, petitions, &c., respecting the appoint ment of Postmaster at Stottville, Province of Quebec, Carried.Mr.BLAKE moved for copies of applications for sales or leases of coal lands in the North-West, &c.; for copies of all orders in Council and the commission issued to Certain persons in connection with claims made on the Government arising out of the construction of the Intercolonial Railway, &c.; for correspondence, reports and orders in Council relating to allowances proposed to be paid to the Canadian manufacturers of certain goods required by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company,\u201d &c.; statement showing the number of seizures made at each port of entry in the Dominion during the last fiscal year and also during the six months ending the 31st December last, &c.He also moved for a statement in detail of all sums expended in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway Commission, with dates and names of the persous paid and particulars of the service in respect of which payment is made, &c.He complained that the statement brought down last session was incomplete, and drew attention to the fact that the printing of the report had been entrusted to Stevenson Bros., of Chatam, at confidential rates instead of having been given to Queens printers, which should have been done.he printing of the French copies of the report had also en given to certain newspapers in the Province of Quebec.The motion was carried.Mr.BLAKE, in moving for copies of all correspondence not already brought down, with reference to frauds upon the Customs in the export of Canadian wheat or flour in satisfaction of bonds given on the importation of United States wheat or flour, &c., said that a trade was being done in these products at prices which proved, beyond oubt, that fraudulent practices had been carried on.He had previously made a motion with regard to this question, and an Investigation into the state of affairs 1ad been made by the Customs Depart ment, but, while they found a number of things, they did not find what would be of Prat to the House\u2014namely, what the then 8 were, and who were committing \u20acm.Since this investigation the news.Ne Informed them that frauds of various {nds had been going on for a long y ne, and he would like to get full informa- 10N on the subject, pont BOWELL sald the remarks of his 20 in end would leave the linpression that moti quiries had been made until after his On In the House.Such was not the \u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 fact, as when the hon.gentleman made his motion, he (Mr.Bowell) stated that irregularities had existed in diflerent parts of the Dominion, and, when the attention of dealers had been called to these irregularities, they at once paid the duties.The papers asked for would be laid before the House, when it would be seen that the Department had been just as vigilant as before, and not only had duty beeu paid, but a heavy fine as well.MR.BLAKE said there was quite a difference between irregularities and designed and deliberate frauds, and it was information with reference to the latter that he wag desirous.of obtaining last session and was desirous of obtaming now.The motion was carried.MR.BLAKE moved, for copies of all correspondence not already brought down touching on the Canadian Extradition Act, and the suspension of the Imperial Act within Canada &c.Carried.COMMUNICATION WITH PRINCE ED WARD ISLAND.MR.DAVIES, moved for copies of all contracts or agreements entered into by the Post-master General since the last session of Parliament, for the conveyance of the mails to and from Prince Edward Island ; correspondence and papers relating to the winter crossing between Capes Traverse and Tormentine;Yreturn of all trips made by the \u201cNorthern Light\u201d during the winter of 1881 and 1882, reports and correspondence relating to the survey or construction of the railway authorized to be built between Cape Traverse and the mainland on Prince Edward Island.In making this motion Mr.Davies referred to the pledges which had been made by the Goverment when the Island entered Confederation, and said that people there had come to the conclusion that they were he- ing trifled with.The contract for the conveyance of their mails during the summer months was now about expiring, and they were exceedingly anxious that the contract should not be renewed unless some provision was.made for carrying it | out in a proper manner.The government was bound to do this as one of the main advantages put forward to induce them to become a part of the Dominion.It was a solemn compact by the Government that efficient steam communication with the mainland would be maintained, not only for the, conveyance of mails but also of their produce.With refereñce to the © Northern Light\u201d the general opinion prevailed on the Island that she was a great success and solved to a great extent the problem of crossing the straits by steam.The Dominion had promised time and again that the contract should be carried out, but with the exception of 2 mction regarding a branch railway by the Minister of Railways last session not a single thing had been done.In 1880 their representatives in the lacal parliament unanimously decided to present a short address to His Excellency the Governor-General, which was afterwards forwarded to Ottawa but no notices had been taken of that address by the Government excepl to acknowledge its receipt, although a telegram had been sent te the local Premier Just before the elections that the Government were giving their earnest consideration to the question.An army of surveyors also came down to the Island just before elections last June,and the people thought the promises of the Government were going to be fulfilied but alas when the elections were over the surveyors disappeared.He strongly protested, therefore, against this thing being held over for another election.(Laughter.) He would also call attention to the paddle boats which were very well for the summer season, but contractors should be compelled to put screw steamers on the service in the autumn, which would keep the harbour open for fully two weeks more, as great inconvenience and loss was oceasion- ed to the commercial community because they could not ship in the fall of the year.With reference to winter navigation he said that the \u2018 Northern Light\u201d Sept the harbour open with the exception of four or five weeks, when a small open boat was used, and he would ask that proper accommodation for crews placed in charge of these open boats should be provided so that no discomfort would be occasioned.The \u201c Northern Light\u201d had now stood eight years of service, which was all that was expected of her.She was pretty well worn out, and a new boat would be required.He also thought there would be enough work for two boats during the spring and fall.In concluding he said he waa only asking for what the le on the Island were fairly entitled to, and if justice were not done them their faith in confederation would be shaken.Mr.YEO referred to the procrastination of the Government in this matter.He only wished that some members of the Government had to make the trip to and from Prince Edward Island in winter, wien the question would soon be settled.He also urged the placing of two screw boats on the route in fall, and two suitable steamers to navigate the Straits in the winter.The, people of Prince Edward were now so exasperated over the delay on this matter that they were beginning to insist on having either a tunnel under the Straits or a separation from the Dominion.He did not know but that one would be as good as the other.He did hope that justice would be doné to- the Island in this\u201d matter.\u2019 .Mr.JENKINS corroborated what had been said as to the importance of this matter to Prince Edward Island.He questioged the wisdom of the late Government placing the Northern Light\u201d on the route, as she was intended for nevigating the St.Lawrence and not the Straits of Northumberland.The \u201c Northern Light\u201d must not be taken as the model for that service, as an entirely different klnd of vessel was required to overcome the difficulties of winter navigation.Te favoured the appointing of a Committee to enquire into the whole matter.His theory was that a steamer should be put on the route with an ice boat on board, so that when progress of the steamer was stopped by the lee passengers could take to it.He said that the promise of efficient steam com- municgtion was an important factor in inducing Prince Edward Island to enter Confederation, and the importance of carrying out that compact could not be exaggerated.He believed in having a ferry from Cape Tormentine to Cape Traverse that would be capable of transporting loaded railway cars across the Strait.Mr.McINTYRE thought the \u201c Northern Light,\u201d while not a complete success, had been of great servige, but now something better was required in her place.The steamer should, he thought, ply to Cape George instead of Pictou.He urges the immediate construction of Cape Traverse Railway.Whatever measure of justice had been received by P.E.Island in the direction of winter communication was fromthe late Liberal Government.No further delay was wanted.He moved that the motion be amended by adding and \u2018\u2018 all correspondence and instructions to the Agent of Marine and Fisheries at Charlottetown concerning the \u201c Northern Light\u201d fir.HICKETT said there had been no improvement in the service across the Straits since Confederation.It was the duty of the Government to furnish P.E.Island with means for taking advantage of the improved markets created by the National Policy.He denied a statement made by the hon.member for King\u2019s that overty existed on the Island and read gures showing that the experts of the Island had greatly increased under the present Government.Mr.DAVIES\u2014 Of what do these exports consist ?\u201d ' Mr.HACKETT said they consisted of agricultural products.He hoped that before another year was over the Government would offer a sutfficient subsidy for the efficient carrying out of the steam service across the Straits of Northumberland.He considered that the \u2018\u201c\u201c Northern Light \u201d had been a failure, and regretted she had ever been put on the route at all.Only a year ago the member for Queen's (Mr.Davies) had declared at a public meeting that he did not understand this subject, but now he attempted to lecture the House upon it, , Mr, CASEY did not see that this question should be considered one of importance only to Prince Fdward Island.\u201d He thought it concerned all Canada as well.He thought, the hon.gentlemen opposite were experimenting with the people of Priuçe Edward Island to see how long they would go without this right under a Conservative Government.The present Government had made no effort to carry out the terms of Confederation in this matter, and had therefore proved themselves guilty of bad faith.The people of Old Canada, as well as those of Prince Edward Island, were getting tired of waiting for the Government to carry out its pledges.The motion was carried.The House-adjourned at 6 p.1u.NOTICES OF MOTION.Mr.Wheler\u2014On Wednesday next, en-

rich, and progressive, with a surplus of $5,000,000 in her Treasury; Quebec is paddling along like a chiffonnier, living from hand to mouth, and piling up a debt that is already alarming in its proportions.With a larger population and greater interests, the annual expenditure of the sister Province is actually less than ours by several hundred thousand dcllars.Since 1871, 68 new townships have been opened up in Ontario, and half a million of acres of land have been reclaimed by the drainage policy of the Government 1,500 miles of railway have been added, opening up large sections of the Province, and of which the country received the benefit.Had not a most rigid economy been exercised the expenditure would have been much greater, In 1873, Mr.Mowat's first complete year, the expenditure was $2,460,212 ; in 1882 it was $2, 425,595, or $34,315 less than was expended eleven years ago, and last year was an exceptionally high year in comparison with previous ones.Here isa record of which any .Government might well be proud, and yet this is not all.Though a policy of economy has been carried out in every branch of the public service, Mr.Mowat and his colleagues cannot be accused of parsimony or niggardiiness, Since 1871 they have established an asylum at Hamilton, an asylum at Kingston, an agylum at Orillia, have enlarged the asylum at London, have opened the Central Prison, the Agricultural College, the Mercer Reformatory, the refuge for girls ; the Asylum for the Blind at Brantford, the Normal School at Ottawa, and the County model Schools.They have organized the Bureau of Statistics, the Provincial Board of Health, the Boards of License Commissioners, the Vital Statistics Branch, the inspection of Division Courts and insurance companies, the School of Art and design, and the college of technology.In addition to all this they have made grants te the dairymen\u2019s association, the fruit growers and agricultural societies; they have provided for the payment of wilnesses in criminal cases, have furnished the courts with shorthand writers, and have liberally assisted hospitals and charities throughout the Province, and after all they have five millions in hand.This is a splendid record, and the people of Ontario will indeed be ungrateful if they do not reward the men who have done this noble work by retaining them in power, backed up by as large a majority as they had in the House recently-dissolved.Look now on the other picture.Quebec started out on equal terms with Ontario.She received a cash grant to enable her to start housekeeping on her own account, and since then she has been the recipient of a per capita subsidy proportionately the same as Ontario gets.She has had her revenue from the crown* lands and other sources, yet she has found it necessary to borrow money from time to time, and thus roll up a great debt that the people are responsible for, and the interest on which eafs up a large portion of her revenue.There is no excuse, there is no reason for this: Quebec should stand on as firm and sold a basis to-day as Ontario occupies ; and so she would were her affairs managed with anything like economy and prudence.But they are not so managed.It seems to be the object of those in power to show not how much they can save but how much they can spend.There is no attempt at economy; there is not the tirst shadow of retrenchment visible.After he has drawn in all sorts of actual and presumed items of revenue the Treasurer figures on a paltry balance in his favour of about four thousand dollars, and it is almost certain that the surplus will become a deficit before the end of the fiscal year.Instead of cutting down and making an endeavour to have both both ends meet, we find that he demands $150,000 for new Parliament buildings, another $150,000 for new court houses at Quebec, and over three hundred thousand dollars for charities.No doubt these charities are all diserv- ing ones, but the Government should bear in mind the old adage that \u201c gharity begins at home,\u201d and that no man is justified in giving his money to the poor while his own family is starving.But in the face of our poverty what do we want with new Parliament buildings Do our legislators long for a building papered with mortgages?Do they desire to sit in a chamber with borrowed money in every stone in its walls?The present houses were good enough for greater \u2018men than they ; and held Parliaments that shall be remembered when the present Government is forgotten, except for the debt and disaster that it is heaping on the people.If we wish to hold our own and keep pace with the sister Provinces, we must at once abandon all these extravagant notions, and inaugurate a system of strict economy.Sweep away the Legislature Council, to begin with.It is neither ornamental nor useful, though it costs the Province about $40,000 a year, which is an important item when the Treasurer has to strain his figures to the utmost to show a trifling fancied surplus in his favour.Prosperous Ontario has managed her affairs with- Tout a second Chamber, and Quebec ought to be able to do the same.Our Legislature is practically but a large municipal council, and there is no more necessity for an Upper House than there is for a second storey to the Council of the city of Montreal, Taking Mr.Wurtele\u2019s figures as they stand and making the best of them, they are disheartening and discouraging, and indicate anything but a healthy conditions of affairs.How long is this sort of thing to last?Already the public debt consumes nearly half of our yearly income, and yet it is proposed to borrow more, with the prospect of continuing to borrow as long as we can find people to purchase our paper.It would be worse than folly-\u2014it would be dishonest\u2014to attempt to shut our eyes to the fact that Mr.Mousseau and his colleagues are sailing close to danger, and that, if they continue on their present course they must, sooner or later, wreck the Province on the brakers before them.They know full well the resources at their command.They can count on their legitimate income almost to a dollar, and it is their bounden duty to themselves and the country to keep their outlay within that income under any and all cireamstances.Making new loans is but adding to the trouble, as those loans place new burdens on the people.To talk pf new public buildings, with a huge debt staring us in the face, is almost criminal.It will be time enough to put.them up when we can honestly afford to pay for them.We must cut our coat according to our cloth, er wear the old - one till we are.able to buy a new.AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.Although President Grevy does not wear a crown his head is, in all probability, one of the most uncasy in Europe, since it is difficult for him to gauge the public sentiment of that distracted country, France.The name of Gambetta was for long akin to a talisman, and exercised upon the public very much the same influence that in their respective eras the cries of Donaparte and Bourbon were accustomed to exert.But, Gambetta dead, there ensued a time when the Reactionary agencies raised their heads and undertook to inaugurate the annulment of all that whether for good or for evil had been accomplished under the Republic.The Orleanists, it is true, have been chronic comers to the surface, but since the advent of the third: Napoleon it has not so far seemed possible to raise the Fleurs de Lys te the position of a drapeau national.Deeming that his cause was clear, when the French tribune departed this life, the inevitable \u2018 Plon Plon \u201d came out and tried to convey the impression that he was the man of the hour.As did his cousin he came forward as a citizen and sought to create dissatisfaction by the contention that France was pining for another opportunity upon which the public might declare what they desired to have in the shape of a government, He caused his incendiary placards to be posted in every diree- tion ; but the sole response to his call for a plebiscite was the tacit, but none\u2019 the less emphatic, declaration «that his hour of elevation had not arrived and that for him prison doors were opened, while, if anything, the public were less prepared than ever they were Lor a return of the old regime either undure the monarchy or the empire.Doubiless, after Le had like the ancient Cassandra lamented the evil days that had come upon his native land, when the Republic had disordered the finances, dissatisfied the people, and rendered the nation contemptible in the eyes of the outside world, he expected that his name might have en- kindled some enthusiasm, but it did not achieve what he anticipated, for though he did not find himself a constrained prisoner in the Castle of Ham he developed into an individual whose personal and family antagonism to the commonwealth rendered it inadvisable that he should be allowed to THE MONTREAL HERALD, A remain within it.His agitation which in itself was of an ephemeral character has, however, served to cause such Ministerial changes as have completely altered the aspect of the administration and made a burning issue the question of whether it was advisable to allow French personages bearing the title of Prince to remain within the country.Soon after Gambetta's death Le Temps speculating on the probable effect of his loss on the Republican party in the Assembly, said it would either lead to a still greater disintegration into \u201c groups,\u201d or else to greater solidity : that it could not possibly leave things as they were in Gambefta\u2019s latter days.The latter seems to have been the case and of this we have an evidence in the new administration that has finally been formed, the Republicans having come more closely together and pre- sentad to their opponents a front which shows that the temporary disorganization has more close.y united the men who without Gambetta at the head were not unnaturally regarded as incompatibles.The late government was pitifully weak and the man of to-day and of the future must be one who is possessed of all the qualities that fit him to be a leader of men.M.Grevy is not a strong man, on the contrary he is weak, nevertheless for the present he may be the safest statesman to whom the nation can look ; and when the proper man comes to the surface no one will be more ready to make way for and co-operate with him than the present President.The recent crisis has set some of our American contemporaries to work at criticising the French Reputlic and discovering the weak spots in it.Among theseare the dangerous traditions respecting rank and power, all of which point toward monarchy, and render it possible for usurpers such as the first and third Napoleon to captivate the heart of the people, enabling them in this way to create new dynasties that may supersede those which have been compelled to stand aside for the temporary Republic.Besides, for one reason or another, there scarcely seems to be that deep confidence in the system that is so essential to its continuance.It is claimed that too many Republicans have allowed the enemies of their system to assume an equality with them, where no equality should exist, but probably recent lessons will carry the conviction that mere stability and suitableness should be tolerated no longer.In addition there are too many cliques, and these have rendered official changes so frequent that distrust was inevitable.It may be that some day; but the opportunity is not yet awhile, when some claimant will arise, and strive, for his own purposes, to inaugurate constitutional changes, but he must be a strong man, and possessed of qualities by which no one now prominent is specially characterized.There are many who pretend that the day of monarchy wlll dawn at least once more, but opinion is tolerably united that it will not be under either a Bonaparte or a Bourbon, an outsider who arises to the top by sheer force of ability being the man whom the people will again honor with their confidence.The trouble in France just now is that she has no man to step to the front and rule the people.Jules Ferry, who has been called upon by President Grevy to form a Government, is but a second-rate politician at the best, and his colleagues are men almost unknown beyond the boundaries of their respective Departments.Greater men must come to the front or there is trouble in store for la belle France.THE COLONIAL MEAT SUPPLY.According to our British Exchangei and the latest advices generally the mechanical difficulties in the way of the shipment of sound mutton or beef, not merely across the Atlantic, but from the Antipodes, have been completely overcome by the use of the Bell-Coleman or Haslam refrigerating appliances, and the difficulty of distribution of the meat when once landed is the remaining obstacle.The problem of price largely hinges on distribution.If the importers become direct purveyors, without the intervention of the middle-man, the meat will be relieved of the largest of the charges which it has to bear,and if a charge on the inordinate profits of the middleman is imposed by the fixing, of something like a reasonable standard price, the matter will have fair play in tne matter of cost.In the matter of quality it is subject to no artificial drawbacks.As Canadians we contend that we can supply the primest of meats\u2014Dbeef, mutton and pork\u2014at a lower price than it can be grown in England, and in the only eompetition that we have had with Aus tralia.and New Zealand we can see no teason why we should not always have the control of the market.Some of our English contemporaries have raised the question of quality, holding that * the roast beef of old England\u201d and its other meats cannot in any way be approached by those of the colonies.Dut this is a question with the public which, if it decides on testing the meat on its merits, that it is not equal to the produce of our English-grown flocks and herds, no arguments on the part of those interested in the trade will persuade them that it is.If the verdict is against the colonial meats, particularly that of Canada and our Great North-West in which we are interested, and the quality is pronounced to be inferior, the next question will be whether-it is relatively inferior if procurable at a lower price.But we deny that there is any inferiority of quality, and since our cattle, and our sheep as well, are fed not upon the- artificial foods with which the old country has been filled, but upon those natural grasses, cereals and roots that are so plentiful herd, the consequence being that so so far as concerns excellence we are ahead of any other ceuntry, while, as for price, it is unquestioned that we are unapproachable, as is evidenced by - the iufluence which Canadian meat has had upon the English meat market.That something has to be done is evidenced by the following from the Colonies and Fndia -\u2014\u201cThousands of persons will be compelled to reduce their consumption of meat so long as the present high prices continue ; thousands more will be obliged to go without mutton altogether ; whercas, if a supply of Colonial meat were at hand, they would be cagerto give it gt least a fair trial.\u201d The same paper concludes :\u2014\u201cTo the vast majority of the British public the Colonies could not prove their value in a more forcible manner than in stopping the meat famine by sending us good mutton and beef at reasonable prices.\u201d \u2014 POPULATION PER SQUARE MILE.A table has been recently published from which the density of the population of India is strikingly apparent, and particularly is this the case, when we contrast it with the sparseness of the settlement of Canada.The presidency of Bengal contains 205,457 square miles with a population of 69,133,619, or at the rate of 339 per mile.Great Britain contains 34,862,000 people or at the rate of 271 per mile, while Canada, including Newfoundland, with 3,412,000 square miles of territory, only contains 4,531,000 people, or 14 persons per mile.The North-West Provinces of India, including Oude, 111,086 miles in extent, have 44,857,542 residents or 402 people per mile, while England with an area of 58,000 square miles is in the hands of 25,000,000 souls or 451 per square mile.Scotland and Ireland have respectively 123 and 157, men, women and children, to support on every mile which they cover.These older countries, it is thus manifest, particularly when we compare them with our own, are considerably overpopulated.We do not desire to introduce or invoke the theories of Malthus, but invite them to compare the advantages which Canada offers to those presented by other countries.There must be a re-division of population.We have not yet had our fair share of it.We make our claim which should be respected.We may not have as much capital in the hands of a specified number of persons, as is the case in Europe, but we are enabled to make a more equitable division and we have a considerable amount of wealth of which fo dispose of to those who are three hundred times as thick as we are upon our native or adopted soil.The facts and figures show that eastward in Europe and in Agia the ratio of population to land is disproportionate.With us the amount of land to population is also disproportionate.We want an equalization and it is to the general advantage that we should have it.The figures we have cited stand as a witness against us.À new balance has to be struck and the inevitable injunction to the inbabitant of the East is \u201cGo West!\u201d THE \u2018\u201cQUEBEC.\u201d It isannounced in our despatches this morning that the steamship \u201c Quebec,\u201d of the Dominion Line, about which there has been so much anxiety, has arrived at Holyhead.She sailed nearly two months ago with a misccllaneous cargo, including two hundred head of cattle.At the time we write, full details of the voyage have not reached us, but the ship must have had a terrible time of it, to have becn so long at sea.Tee weakness of the Opposition in Ontario at present is that they have no men of prominence to lead them.Even if the Government of Mr.Mowat was less powerful than it is it would have little to fear from the third-rate politicians who are pitted against them.Speaking on this point the Guelph Herald an out-and- out Conservative paper says :\u2014\u201c The Opposition as at present constituted is not strong.It would be difficult to form a Cabinet out of the Opposition ranks, Mr.Meredith is not all that could be desired for a Premier.Mr.Morris\u2019 ill health unfits him for holding a responsible position.Mr.Merrick is a man with a hobby, and Mr.Lauder, like a fly in the apothecary\u2019s oinsment, is not pleasant even for the nostrils of his own party.We must have new material, for it is only by presenting material superior to that of the Mowat Administration that the Conservativer can hope for success.\u201d The Conservatives of Ontario not only want new materal, but they want a new organ.The Mail through its worse than silly conduct tovching the \u201cMarmion\u201d controversy, and its vulgar and insulting comments on the great Reform Convention have utterly destroyed whatever joint prospect the Coaservatives may have had of carrying the province.Mr.Mowat and his Gove:nment are strong and will be retained in power, but the Mail has added to their strength.\u2014_\u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Gov.BENJAMIN F.BUTLER has made a new departure in his management of affairs in Massachusetts.A short time ago charges of cruelty were laid against Mr Earle, warden of the \u2018State prison, which charges the warden promptly and most emphatically denied.In order to ge at the truth, Gov.Butler gave the prsoners authority to write him direct, in setled letters, what the facts were.Many of them availed themselves of the o por- tuaity, and their letters charged Earle wih the most brutal and outrageous crielties toward the helpless prisoners, It was declared that he had chained up men with their arms above their heads for 96 hours at a stretch, and that in one case th: warden had kept a man chained up fo: 120 hours.Solitary confinement was a frequent punishment, and was carried to cruel lengths, the prisoners aver.They further say that the warden had a habit of knocking them down, putting his foot on their throats and taunting them.On the sirength of this evidence Gov.Butler dismissed Karle, and the newspapers, as a rule, stand by him.General Butler seems to have changed his nature since the days when he ruled down in New Orleans.\u2014\u2014_ AN Australian paper gives the following account of à new and astonishing tele- phomic discovery:\u2014\u201c The telephone enab.ed us to speak with friends at a dis- | hosts of living active beings.Each minute ND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20.tance.Would they be astonished if we were to tell them that it was now proved to be possible to convey in a similar manner vibrations of light\u2014to not only speak with your distant friend, but actually to see him, The electroscope\u2014the name of the instrument which enabled us to do this\u2014was the very latest scientific discovery, and to Dr.Gnidrah, of Victoria, belonged the proud distinction.The trial of this wonderful instrument took place at Melbourne on the 31st October last, in the presence of some forty scientific and public men, and was a great success.Sittingin a dark room they saw projected on a large disc of white burnished metal the race-cout-e at Flemington, with its myriad detail stood out with perfect fidelity to the original, and as they sat looking at the wonderful picture through binocular glasses it was difficult to imagine that they were not actually upon the course itself and moving amongst those whose actions they could so completely scan.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014 Our despatches recently reported a remarkable and interesting fact in connection with the deep-sea soundings thal have been in progress oh the line o sounding from Bermuda to the Bahamas.The coast-survey steamer \u2018\u201c Blake\u201d claims the distinction of having made the deepest sounding ever made in the Atlantic ocean.On the 19th January, in latitude 19 deg.41 min.north, longitude 66 deg.24 min.west, about one hundred and five miles narthwest from St.Thomas, the lead did not touch bottom until 4,561 fathoms of line had been paid out.The greatest depth heretofore found in the Atlsntic has been 3,862 fathoms.The location of this sounding was close to that of the resent one, and was made by the ¢ Chal- Finger,\u201d which, sent out by the Roval Society of England, made soundings in the Atlantic between the year 1872 and 1876.The recent soundings indicate a depth of about five English miles, es À CONTEMPORARY remarks:\u2014\u201c Before 50 years are over France will, at her present slow rate of increase of population, have sunk, if not to the level of à second rate, at least, to the bottom of the list of great powers.If we suppose that the population of the United States and of thé various countries of Europe are decimated by no wars or exceptional maladies, and still present their present frontiers and go on increasing at the present rate of increase, their numbers will by the year 1932, a time which our children will see, be as follows:\u2014United States, 190,- 000,000; Russia, 158,000,000; Germany, 83,000,000; Great Britain, 65,000,000; Austria-Hongary, 44,000,000; and Italy, 44,000,000.So that France, which a century ago was really La Grand Nation, having still the largest population in Europe will be but the sixth in point of numbers.\u201d So FAR 1883 has been a most disastrous year.§The accidents by flood and field on shore and at sea are terrible to look back upon.There have been floods in Germany and America, snow-slides in the far West, disastrous fires in many places, shipwrecks involving the loss of hundreds of lives, explosions in mines, and railway accidents innumerable.It is estimated that during the month and a half that has elapsed since the beginning of the year nearly two thousand persons have been killed through the accidents that have taken place.The record is a ghastly one.DEATHS.Kruuy.\u2014In this city, on the 18th inst, Mr.Patrick

When the second reading of the bill to rovide for the amalgamation of the Bank of Nova Scotia with the Bank of Prince Edward Island was moved, Mr.Casgrain raised a point of order, claiming that the Bill should have been printed and in the hands of members before the second reading was moved.Mr.Speaker, amid Opposition cheers, ruled that the point was well taken, and directed the promoter of the Bill, Mr.Tupper, to supply the defect.The Bill was allowed to stand on the order paper.Mr.Norquay, Premier of Manitoba, will arrive in the city in a few days, He is anxious that a Manitoba Senatorship shall by some means be made vacant for him.Mr.Justice (Gwynne, sitting in the Exchequer Court, to-day, gave judgment in the case of Lucy McQueen vs.the Crown.The suit was brought to recover a large iece of land, known as Cartier square, in this city.\u2018This property was taken by the Government many years ago, for canal purposes, but not having been so used, the plaintiff, as heir of the original atentee, claims that it should revelt to er.Judge Gwynne dismissed the petit- tion with costs.; In the Semate, to-day, a discussion arose over the dismissal of a page by the Contingent Committee, on the ground that his parents had removed to the United States.Some Senators claimed that the boy had been harshly dealt with, while others insisted that it would be inconsistent with the Government olicy of fostering native talent and in- Sustry to keep him in the service of the House.The young lad, who is a son of Rev.T.S.Phillips, will have his passage paid to Chicago.In this way the Government are helping to expatriate our own people, while giving some of the best positions in the public service to foreigners.Sir Alex.Campbell defended the appointment of an additional page on the ground that he was required for the exclusive service of the Speaker, and at the close of this important and arduous discussion the Senate adjourned until the 1st of March.Preliminary steps were taken to-day to have the double return case from King\u2019s County, P.E.L, referred to the Committee on Priviliges and Elections.The Tories now admit that in obliging their returning officer to constitute himself an Election Judge, they made a great mistake, The prospects are that Mr.Robertson will be declared elected, but'if the seat is declared vacant, he will score an easy victory.Mr.Blake has given notice of his intention to move for a statement of the number of votes polled in every Cousty and polling division throughout the Dominion at the general election in June last.He is anxious, no \u20ac point out the palpable defects of the present election machinery with a view to suggesting improvements.Statements of population, number of electors, and number of ballots cast in each sub-diviston will also be asked for.| Mr.Dugas intends to ask the Government if it is their intention at the present session to amend the Controverted Elections Act, 1874.Mr.Dupont is anxious that.the mails between Farnham and Guillaume.shall be carried via the St.Lawrence and Champlain Junction Railway.Mr.Blake intends to investigate the alleged frauds in connection with the grinding in bond business, and also the present relations between Hon.J ohn O'Connor and the Government of the Dominion.Mr.Paterson, of Brant, will move for a return, showing the amount of drawback poid upon manufactured goods exporte any such drawback.He proposes to demonstrate what is an actyal fact, that the export of manufactures frem Canada ix declining, our presen: prosperity being doubt, to] THE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, TTESDAY.FEBRUARY 20.5 pp =F \u2014E Se \u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 due wholly to good crops and our active lumber trade.Mr.Dawson has asked fora voluminous return respecting the navigation of Hudson Bay.Mr, Cameron will move for particulars in connection with the numerous licenses to cut timber lately granted by the Government.The model of Mr.Hebert, of Montreal, for the Sir George Cartier Monument, has been accepted ;

MAYORALTY.ANOTHER ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING IN FAVOR OF MR.BULMER.A very large and and influential meeting was held last evening at the central committee rooms of Mr.Bulmer, on Craig street.Theroom was crowded to overflowing, Among those present were Meszrs.Henry Bulmer, Ald.Hood, Donovan and Roy tand Messrs.Poupart, Ives, Mullarky, Peltier, Potter, and a great number of others.; Mr.Masterman was called to the chair, aud he stated that in his opinion the time had come, not so much as to who would be mayor, but that one man should not monopolize the mayoralty.He hoped that the meeting and the citizens generally would give Mr.Bulmer a hearty support.Mr.Bulmer, on coming forward, was received with loud applause.which lasted for several minutes.He stated that before the meeting was organized, he wished to express the gratification he felt at seeing so large a representation of the citizens of sections of this city.Since the nomination, he had received such very general assurances of support, that he was bound.He had received numerous assurances of support from all classes of the community, and many prominent gentlemen had sent him letters expressing their regret that they could not be present at the meeting.He assured them that if élected he would do all in his power to merit their confidence.He thanked those present for their hearty support, and hoped that they would now roceed to the work of organization.Mr.Balmer was repeatedly interrupted by out bursts of applause, and during his address the utmost enthusiasm was manifested.Mr.Mullarky next addressed the meeting, and his remarks were very gencrally applauded.He remarked in the course of his address that Mr.Beaudry had served so many times that it was nearly time that another gentleman should be elected in his stead.The speaker paid a tribute to the administrative qualities of Mr.Rivard, the ex-Mayor, The citizens of Montreal west once elected Dr.Hingston by 4,000 majority over Mr.Beaudry, and he had the assurance that Mr.Bulmer\u2019s majority would be very large.He was -of opinion that a public meeting should be called to rotest against the remarks made by Mreaudry on certain matters of vital importance.He related the many services which Mr.Bulmer had rendered the city during the time he had served as a member of the City Council and more especially with regard to the sewerage system of Montreal, which Mr.Bulmer had rendered perfect.Mr.Bulmer by his long experience and his standing was highly qualified to occupy the civic chair, and he had the certitude that if his friends worked heartily a large majority would be secured.Ald.Donovan followed, and in his brief address was most enthusiastically applauded.He considered that the time had arrived to have a change in the civic representation.Mr.Beaudry by his old age and his infirmities was unfit to fill the chief position in the city.Mr.Beaudry should bave retired in a a graceful manner after such a long term of service.Mr.Beaudry had not shown any good reason for coming out again as a candidate, and the present contest which he had forced on the electors would entail a new expenditure, for which he must be held responsible.As one of the representatives of St.Anns\u2019 Ward, he could say with all consciousness, that Mr.Bulmer would receive in that section of the city the support which his merits entitled him to.Mr.Buliner was a man acceptable to all nationalities, and as such he would recieve such a support as would carry him into the civic chair.Ald.Roy, of St.Mary\u2019s Ward, followed in French and assured Mr.Bulmer that the immense majority of the French population of his district had made up their minds to give to their English fellow citizens of this city that share of notice to which they were entitled to, and they promised a good majority from St.Mary\u2019s ard.: Mr.Joseph Poupart stated that he had been authorized by Mr.Sever Rivard, ex- Maygr, to state that the latter was heart and soul in favour of Mr.Bulmer.Mr.Bulmer here returned thanks for the kind expressions which the speakers had expressed, and thanked them for their attendance.Ald.Hood then said a few words to the effect that St.Antoine Ward would do its duty nobly by-Mr.Bulmerr.Pelltier, President of the Club jCar- tier, next addressed the meeting, and urged the claims of Mr.Bulmer, as the representative of the English-speaking population of this city.The meeting then proceeded to appoint Committees in each ward of the city for the purpose of canvassing.Mr.Masterman.was appointed Chairman of Commuttees, and Mr Seath Secretary.The meeting then broke up.DEATH ON THE RAIL.THE INQUEST.Coroner Jones opened an inquest yesterday morning on the remains of James Archer McNab, aged 12 years, whose death on Saturday by falling under a Grand Trunk Railway car at Point St.Charles, has already been noted.The inquest was held at the residence of the deceased\u2019s father, Mr.Donald McNab.61 Forfar street.The first witness called was the father, who deposed that he was a carpenter, and was at home when the news was brought to him about a quarter to five o\u2019clock on Saturday evening that his son had been run over by the railway cars and cut in two.Deceased was brought home immediately.John McDonald, a boy 8 vears old, was called and testifled that he was playing in the vicinity of the cars on Saturday at the time of the accident with Robert Assam, John Wilson, William Thompson and deceased.Deceased ran over to the cars; witness did not go and was not in the habit of going.This was all he knew about the accident.William Thompson, aged 11, deposed that he was outside the cars at the shunting ground at the time of the accident.Stephen Jones and the last witness were with him; deceased was in one of the cars; witness told him the engine was coming, but he took no notice; the engine came on and struck the car in which the deceased was; deceased at this went to jump, but in doing so fell backward and struck the back of his head against the car door; he went under the car wheel, which passed over him, cutting him in twe.William John Wilson, aged 12 years, was in the cars on Saturday at the time of the accident.The cars were shunting.There were a lot of little boys about the witness\u2019 own size; they were on the cars, and deceased was with them playing \u201ctag\u201d; men were shovelling snow off the track; the engine was coming down, and witness Jumped out and called to deceased to jump, but he wanted to stop in.The engine was attached to the cars, and when in pretty fast motion deceased jumped, but not far enough, and rolled back off the slope of snow on the side of the track, under the wheels.It was on the river side of the track.ln answer to a juror, witness said that there was a brakesman on the top of the cars, and who looked at him but eave no alarm.There were also train men shovelling snow off the track, but they appeared nct to notice any danger.Witness was out of danger when he and the brakes- man looked at each other.Napoleon Andre Biron had full charge of shunting engine No.16 on Saturday at the time of the accident.Witnesses here described the manner in which the accident happened.He did not sce deceased fall under the wheels.It is the rule to sound whistle at crossings, but not otherwise when shunting.Could not say if the whistle sounded or bell rang in this case as he was 15 cars off at the time of the accident.Thomas Clarke was driver of the engine at the time.Saw deceased after he was killed and identitied body now.Stephen Jones, another playmate of deceased at the tine, gave evidence corroborative of former witnesses, and the jury after a few minutes consultation returned the following verdict \u2014\u201c That the deceased, James Akin McNab, came to his death in an accidental manner, and not otherwise; and the jurors recommend that the law forbidding any one on the tracks be more strictly carried out.\u201d IF NEARLY DEAD after taking some highly puffed up stuff, with long testimonials, turn to Hop Bitters and have no fear for any Kidney or Urinary Troubles, Brights

He feared that the mover had looked at the operations of the Company through colored spectacles, as for his part he personally knew that -the Company had complied \u201cwith the settlement conditions of their contract.They had built a number of superior houses for their settlers and he himself was a witness to the fact, for he liad been in one of them and.dined with the happy family residii gin it.He denied that the Compauy were merc speculators and only established for speculative purposes, He claimed that thev had spent large sums on road-making, \u201chouse building und land clearing; thatthey had taken no timber of the land but such as was ne- essary for clearing purposes, and that thev had not shipped one single carload of hunber away, à8 enquiry from the railway fines had fully established.He went on to refer to the various schemes which had been tried in this Province for settling up {the Government Lad abundant security \u2014 suecessfu! and the latest bein companies.which he adde prove very successful either, but at all events it should have a fair trial.Moreover while he believed both Government and the Company had Leen acting uprightly in the matter he contended that this one by might not against any wrongdoing.having in fact the remedy in their own hands to recy] the grant.\u201d (Applause.) C Mr.Irvine said the circumstaness of this grant had come under his notice in a special manner and he might add a word on the subject, It had been asked why had the late Government acted in the matter against a recommendation of a Committee of the House.It was probably because they were so confident of their majority that they were çareless of the consequences so'long as they carried their own views.He did not intend to apply these remarks altogether to the ex-Commissioner of Crown Lands (Mr.Flynn) for he believed that he had only executed the policy of his Government in this particular against his own inclinations.It was only necessary to look at the names of the promoters of the en- texprise to see where the influence came from.They had made an application for 100,000 acres of land to be lotted them for colonization purposes.Now he did not believe in colonization companies at all nor did he believe that this was one or ever intended to, be such.The lands in question were covered with valuable timber, and such lands were not generally the best for settlement.He believed that it was capable of proof that settlers had been paid to stay upon the lands, and that the real number of settlers placed upon it was so small that the company had counted the children of original settlers.The difficulty of settling new lands in this Province was such that he was sure no company with large capital could afford to engage in this work long.The object of the company in question was evidently to make money out of the timber upon the lands, this fact having been fully brought out in a suit between them and the limit- holders.The ambiguity of the Order-in- Council granting the lands was such that the six Judges \u201cbefore whom it had been cited, one Superior Court Judge, and five of the Court of Appeals, had been divided as to its meaning.When granted to the company in question the 100,000 acres of land was actually under license to a firm qf timber merchants who had inherited it from their father.From many years all the crown dues, etc., had been paid upon it, yet an injustice of the gravest kind was done towards them by the Government, which for so many vears had taken their money.He said that after the land had been allotted Mr.Flynn had written to the Company, stating that he regretted there were squatters upon it, whose existence had not been previously reported to the Government, The Company were not inclined to make an exception in their favour, but finally an agreement was made with them by the Government, to ensure the rights of the settlers.The condition under which the land was allotted, compelled the Company to locate forty settlers during the first year and sixty during the second, and to clear ten acres out of 500 in order to secure a patent.Last session Mr.Flynn had said the conditions would be strictly enforced, and yet the time for settling forty families was subsequently extended from the 7th April to the 30th June, and after this the company had counted settlers previously on the land in order to make up the total number required by.the conditions of the grant.By the Tth April next the second year would be up, and he wanted to know if there would he 100 settlers on the land by that date.He trusted the Government would strictly adhere to the terms of the grant made.No doubt certain influences would be brought to bear upon them, but he trusted the Government would see to it, that the conditlons made would be strictly carried out, and the grant of the lands cancelled in order that fhe spoliation of our Crown lands should be at once and forever checked.Mr.Lynch complimented Mr.Picard upon the manner in which he had laid the subject before the House, and hoped he would be convinced that the action taken in the matter by himself and by Lis predecessor, the member for Gaspe, had been such as would convince the House that they had acted in what they conceived to be the best interests of the Province.The result of the present colonization scheme might possibly be as disastrous as others that had preceded it, as for instance had been the scheme of the Whyte reserve, yet in setting apart that reserve he was quite sure the Joly Government had no other desire than to encourage what it believed to be a scheme calculated to prove of benefit to the Province.Mr.Joly said he did not-think his Government had made the grant to Mr.Whyte.Mr.Flynn said he could give the date of the grant.It was April 4, 1879.Mr.Joly said the scheme must then have been inaugurated before the time of his Government, because he was in England in the end of April, 1879, and the Duke of Manchester had complained to him of the unfair manner in which settlers were treated under that scheme, go that it must then have been some time in operation.Mr.Lynch explained that when Mr Marchand was Commissioner of Crown Lands, he had at least extended the provi- signs of the grant.He had mentioned this, nôt in any way as a reproach, but to show that honesty of purpose in such matters as this induced y cartnestness of representation were apt to result disastrously.It might prove thus in the present instance.The scheme had been first laid before the Joly government, then before that of Mr.Chaplean by whom it had been encoyraged in the hope that it would benefit the great cause of emigration, and here he expressed his admiration for the remarks made in English by Mr.Picard, when he said that he favored honest emigration no matter from what country it came.He hoped these sentiments would be endorsed by members on both sides of the House no matter what their origin as the most desirable means of building up a steady and industriou popu- mation.He would not go into the history of the present scheme for it was contained in « return brought down last session, but the last Order-in-Council in connection with the affair was the exten- gion of the time to complete bringing out forty settlers to the 30th June last.The refusal to willingly recognize the rights of the 50 settlers found upon the land granted them was very ungenerous.The permission to count the squatters into the number of settlers was not given in accordance with the Originai conditions, but was desirable, as tending to settle what was a burning question in that part of the country.When he (Mr.Lynch) took charge of the Department he found that the company had been guilty of such bad faith towards the Government as to have taken actions of ejectinent against the original squatters.A full and most impartial report on the state of aflairs in question, including the number of settlers, &c., had been made by Mr.Kemp, an officer of his department, and he was sorry to say it was not of a nature to uphold the actions of the company.He believed it would be his duty, providing the conditions under which the grant was made were not complied with to take steps for its cancellation.He endorsed what had been said of colonization companies, generally, and believed they were calculated to promote the best interests of the Province.Tor this reason he had found it his duty to discountenance several such.AFTER RECESS, Mr.Flynn continned the debate.He coraplimented Mr.Picard upon his zeal in the cause of colonization and thanked the other members who had spoken upon their kindly expressions respecting himself, which he contended formed a complete Justification of the acts of the late Government.But, at the same time the thought the public should not beallwed to re- mein under the slghtest false impaession regarding a transaction which had been Plain, straightforward and above board.e accordingly proceeded to point out that there was a material difference between the proposal which was rejected by the Committee of Agriculture, Commissioner Marchand, and by himself, in the first instance, and that finally accepted by the Chapleau Government, of which lie was a member.The first application was from a Mr.Gunn to purchase 300,000 acres.The last was from a Mr.Stockwell, representing a company of British capitalists, and professing to be desirous of settling a large number of immigrants from the British lsles in the Eastern Townships, clearing the land by machinery, building model cottages for settlers, and carrying on cattle raising for the export trade on an extensive scale.Lord Dunmore was at the head of the proposed company, and his demand was not only favoured with all the prestige of ample capital to successfully realize its objects, but supported by the most respectable and influential citizens of Quebec, who were known to be concerned in the promotion of Agriculture and colonization.Under the circumstances it was difficult, if not impossible, for the Government to refuse the application more parti- larly, when it ie remembered that it was desirable to avoid leaving the majority of the Province open to- a charge of exclusi- vism, with respect to the English and Protestant element in a country where the Government represented no nationality or creed in particular, but- the whole community.e then went on to refer to the difficulty which arose between tne company and the squatters, and between the company and the license holders, as well as to the resultant litigation on the company\u2019s pretensions that it was the owner and not the simple trustee as he believed it to be.The position taken by the com- ny in the matter was not found on the Drder-in-Council, but he contended that on the whole the Province had gained by the transaction $24,000, having already been paid to the Government by the company.This transaction was a much better one than the reserve made to Jas.White on 4th April, 1879, by Mr.Marchand, to which the Hon.Commissioner of Crown Land had referred.After remarks from Mr.Joly in defence of the action of his Government in connection with the White colonization scheme.Mr.Mousseau said the burden of proof was to the effect that all these colonization companies had turned out unsatisfactory.For his part he considered it very undesirable that any third party, for purposes of gain, should come between poor settlers and the Government.The only aid likely to be beneficial to the \u2018Government in the matter was that derivable from charitable or religious societies.He promised to see that the company fulfilled the conditions of their contract, or its would be revoked at the proper time.(General applause.) M.Picard accepted the admission thankfully, but remarked that before the litigation of the subject was ended with the Company and the license holders the Government would probably lose more than $24,000 obtained from the Company.The motion then passed.Mr.Gauthier moved for a correspondence between the Attorney-General, and L.A.Billy, Dominion member of Parliament for Rimeuski en re the propriety of his continuing to hold his office as district magistrate for Rimouski, while representing the County at Otiawa.Mr.Mousseau considered the two positions occupted by Mr.Billy absolutely incompatible and that it was extremely dangerous for a politician to be entrusted with the administration of justice while engaged in active politics.On his taking office he had represented this to Mr.Billy, but had received no reply.Mr.Billy had since heen written to officially and if no answer was received in a few days he would be dismissed.(Applause.) The motion passed.Mr.Paquet moved for copies of corres- ondence concerning the granting of beach ots at Levis, along the new le of the I.C.R.Carried.THE BEAUPORT ASYLUM.Mr.Mercier then brought forward his motion relative to the Beauport Asylum contract, which has already been published in the HERALD.Infsupport the mover referred to the, reminder givenfto the Chapleau Government, that they were about to sell the North Shore Railway withont consulting the Legislature, and to the fact that this prediction had been verified, the House being given no choice between accepting the conlract made by that Government and a ministerial crisis.He warned the House that an attempt would be made to play the same game in the renewal of the Beauport Hsylum contract, involving an expenditure of nearly $2,000,060 during «the next ten years.and argued that such conduct would not only prove that there was something to hide, but be an insult to the House and people, and a direct violation of British Constitutional practice.He claimed that in so important a matter and when the Government was considering the renewal of the contract, its conditions should be submitted to the House.The House was not simply to register the will of Ministers, but to aid and control the Government.They were the servants of the Crown, but the representatives of the people, whose will had to be obeyed under penalty of Ministerial defeat.They should be consulted as to the conditions of a contract, which promised to be exceedingly borthensome upon the Province, more par- ticnlurly when it was considered that the proprietors of the asylum were already receiving a very much larger per eapita rate than the two other asylum or in Ontario.According to the Treasurer's own admission, the financial situation was so strained that the least accident could upset his calculation, unless he received the better terms from Ottawa, suggested by him (Mercier).He appeal to every honest and patriotic member to rise above party considerations and the fear of Ministerial crisis or general elections, and join him in forcing the Government to bring down this important contract before it was practically closed.Mr.Mousseau admired the Opposition leader\u2019s ability to make mountains of mole hills.but Le could not understana his re- pronches about «tains, concealment and cowardice against the Government in this matter.Where was he when the millions involve! in the North Shore road were voted away.Absent, when he should have been in his seat to protect the threatened rights of the people for whom he now professed so extraordinary an affection.He was the last er me = ee assumption that the Government ware about to reniew the contract with the Beauport, Asylum the Opposition seemed Letter in-formed than the Govern: ment, who had rot yet decided upon the course, but would decide within \u2018the next eight = days, though he would not say that they would not decide in favor of Beauport.The Premiler went on to argue that the contrasts sought to be instituted between Beauport and the other two provincial asylums, where only idiots were kept, were gross] unfair to the former.Moreover it shoul not be forgotten that Beauport was the only establishment of its kind to which the afflicted among an important element, the British and Protestant comunity could be sent.As for the comparizon with Ontario he contended that the maintenance of insane there cost more than at Boauport.In conclusion, he said the contract which the Government would bring down would commend itself to both sides of the House and to the public.and which could be accepted without fear.The Gavernment would not allow themselves to be frightened or blinded by such reports as that of the syndicate said to be forming at Montreal, but would do their duty fearless in the matter.Ag for the Opposition leaders claiming to have forced upon the Government its policy of \u201c Better terms,\u201d as he maladroitly styled it, but which he (the Premier) styled the policy of our rights, he denied the justice of that claim.It was he (the Premier) who had originated this policy, and at a time, too, when he had nothing to gain by it in Provincial popularity, when Tie was a colleague of Sir John Macdonald.He referred to the Sorel meeting and to his declaration in favour of that policy on that occasion.He contended that the financial situation was not critical.We were only temporarily embarrassed by our large expenditure tor railways, which would in a short time return a hundred fold.We were publicly and privately better off than Ontario.Our municipality and people owed little or nothing, while Ontario was crippled with mortgages and burdens of many kinds, which explained why 80 many were of late fleeing westward from that Province.Before sitting down he said he regarded the Opposition leader\u2019s motion as one of want of confidence.Mr.Joly contended that the rule in England was that such contracts has to be for a month on the table, and that they were not binding upon Parliament before being 80 submitted and accepted by the House.He admitted that Beauport was well kept but condemned an asylum which made it more profitable to retain patients than to labor for their cure, and in this connection paid the highest cpmpliment to the Ontario system.; Mr.Desjardins followed in a long and vehement apeech in support of the Government and concluded by moving in amendment that the House had confidence that the Government in entering into a new contract with the proprietors of Beauport Asylum, which would be submitted to the Aouse for approval according to the promise of the Premier, would be guided by a wise and proper appreciation of public Interests.Mr.Garneau seconded the amendment and spoke in its support.REST AND COMFORT TO THE SUFFERING.\u201c Brown\u2019s Housemoup PANACEA\u201d has \u2018no equal for relieving pain, both internal and external.Itcures Pain in the Side, Back or Bowels, Sore Throat, Rheumatism Toothache, Lumbago and any kind of a Pain or Ache.\u201cIt will most surely quicken the Blood and Heal, as its acting wer 18 wonderful.\u201d ¢ Brown's Houseold Panacea.\u201d being acknowledged as the great Pain Reliever.and double the \u2018the strength of any other Elixir or other Liniment inthe world, should be in every family handy for use when wanted, \u20ac as 1t really is the best remedy in the world for Cramps in the Stomach, and pains and Aches of all kinds,\u201d and is for sale by all Druggists at 25 cents a bottle.wim Miscellaneous.ACCOUNT BOOKS 1883 !

for copies of all orders in Council and the commission issued to Certain persons in connection with claims made on the Government arising out of the construction of the Intercolonial Railway, &c.; for correspondence, reports and orders in Council relating to allowances proposed to be paid to the Canadian manufacturers of certain goods required by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company,\u201d &c.; statement showing the number of seizures made at each port of entry in the Dominion during the last fiscal year and also during the six months ending the 31st December last, &c.He also moved for a statement in detail of all sums expended in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway Commission, with dates and names of the persous paid and particulars of the service in respect of which payment is made, &c.He complained that the statement brought down last session was incomplete, and drew attention to the fact that the printing of the report had been entrusted to Stevenson Bros., of Chatam, at confidential rates instead of having been given to Queens printers, which should have been done.he printing of the French copies of the report had also en given to certain newspapers in the Province of Quebec.The motion was carried.Mr.BLAKE, in moving for copies of all correspondence not already brought down, with reference to frauds upon the Customs in the export of Canadian wheat or flour in satisfaction of bonds given on the importation of United States wheat or flour, &c., said that a trade was being done in these products at prices which proved, beyond oubt, that fraudulent practices had been carried on.He had previously made a motion with regard to this question, and an Investigation into the state of affairs 1ad been made by the Customs Depart ment, but, while they found a number of things, they did not find what would be of Prat to the House\u2014namely, what the then 8 were, and who were committing \u20acm.Since this investigation the news.Ne Informed them that frauds of various {nds had been going on for a long y ne, and he would like to get full informa- 10N on the subject, pont BOWELL sald the remarks of his 20 in end would leave the linpression that moti quiries had been made until after his On In the House.Such was not the \u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 fact, as when the hon.gentleman made his motion, he (Mr.Bowell) stated that irregularities had existed in diflerent parts of the Dominion, and, when the attention of dealers had been called to these irregularities, they at once paid the duties.The papers asked for would be laid before the House, when it would be seen that the Department had been just as vigilant as before, and not only had duty beeu paid, but a heavy fine as well.MR.BLAKE said there was quite a difference between irregularities and designed and deliberate frauds, and it was information with reference to the latter that he wag desirous.of obtaining last session and was desirous of obtaming now.The motion was carried.MR.BLAKE moved, for copies of all correspondence not already brought down touching on the Canadian Extradition Act, and the suspension of the Imperial Act within Canada &c.Carried.COMMUNICATION WITH PRINCE ED WARD ISLAND.MR.DAVIES, moved for copies of all contracts or agreements entered into by the Post-master General since the last session of Parliament, for the conveyance of the mails to and from Prince Edward Island ; correspondence and papers relating to the winter crossing between Capes Traverse and Tormentine;Yreturn of all trips made by the \u201cNorthern Light\u201d during the winter of 1881 and 1882, reports and correspondence relating to the survey or construction of the railway authorized to be built between Cape Traverse and the mainland on Prince Edward Island.In making this motion Mr.Davies referred to the pledges which had been made by the Goverment when the Island entered Confederation, and said that people there had come to the conclusion that they were he- ing trifled with.The contract for the conveyance of their mails during the summer months was now about expiring, and they were exceedingly anxious that the contract should not be renewed unless some provision was.made for carrying it | out in a proper manner.The government was bound to do this as one of the main advantages put forward to induce them to become a part of the Dominion.It was a solemn compact by the Government that efficient steam communication with the mainland would be maintained, not only for the, conveyance of mails but also of their produce.With refereñce to the © Northern Light\u201d the general opinion prevailed on the Island that she was a great success and solved to a great extent the problem of crossing the straits by steam.The Dominion had promised time and again that the contract should be carried out, but with the exception of 2 mction regarding a branch railway by the Minister of Railways last session not a single thing had been done.In 1880 their representatives in the lacal parliament unanimously decided to present a short address to His Excellency the Governor-General, which was afterwards forwarded to Ottawa but no notices had been taken of that address by the Government excepl to acknowledge its receipt, although a telegram had been sent te the local Premier Just before the elections that the Government were giving their earnest consideration to the question.An army of surveyors also came down to the Island just before elections last June,and the people thought the promises of the Government were going to be fulfilied but alas when the elections were over the surveyors disappeared.He strongly protested, therefore, against this thing being held over for another election.(Laughter.) He would also call attention to the paddle boats which were very well for the summer season, but contractors should be compelled to put screw steamers on the service in the autumn, which would keep the harbour open for fully two weeks more, as great inconvenience and loss was oceasion- ed to the commercial community because they could not ship in the fall of the year.With reference to winter navigation he said that the \u2018 Northern Light\u201d Sept the harbour open with the exception of four or five weeks, when a small open boat was used, and he would ask that proper accommodation for crews placed in charge of these open boats should be provided so that no discomfort would be occasioned.The \u201c Northern Light\u201d had now stood eight years of service, which was all that was expected of her.She was pretty well worn out, and a new boat would be required.He also thought there would be enough work for two boats during the spring and fall.In concluding he said he waa only asking for what the le on the Island were fairly entitled to, and if justice were not done them their faith in confederation would be shaken.Mr.YEO referred to the procrastination of the Government in this matter.He only wished that some members of the Government had to make the trip to and from Prince Edward Island in winter, wien the question would soon be settled.He also urged the placing of two screw boats on the route in fall, and two suitable steamers to navigate the Straits in the winter.The, people of Prince Edward were now so exasperated over the delay on this matter that they were beginning to insist on having either a tunnel under the Straits or a separation from the Dominion.He did not know but that one would be as good as the other.He did hope that justice would be doné to- the Island in this\u201d matter.\u2019 .Mr.JENKINS corroborated what had been said as to the importance of this matter to Prince Edward Island.He questioged the wisdom of the late Government placing the Northern Light\u201d on the route, as she was intended for nevigating the St.Lawrence and not the Straits of Northumberland.The \u201c Northern Light\u201d must not be taken as the model for that service, as an entirely different klnd of vessel was required to overcome the difficulties of winter navigation.Te favoured the appointing of a Committee to enquire into the whole matter.His theory was that a steamer should be put on the route with an ice boat on board, so that when progress of the steamer was stopped by the lee passengers could take to it.He said that the promise of efficient steam com- municgtion was an important factor in inducing Prince Edward Island to enter Confederation, and the importance of carrying out that compact could not be exaggerated.He believed in having a ferry from Cape Tormentine to Cape Traverse that would be capable of transporting loaded railway cars across the Strait.Mr.McINTYRE thought the \u201c Northern Light,\u201d while not a complete success, had been of great servige, but now something better was required in her place.The steamer should, he thought, ply to Cape George instead of Pictou.He urges the immediate construction of Cape Traverse Railway.Whatever measure of justice had been received by P.E.Island in the direction of winter communication was fromthe late Liberal Government.No further delay was wanted.He moved that the motion be amended by adding and \u2018\u2018 all correspondence and instructions to the Agent of Marine and Fisheries at Charlottetown concerning the \u201c Northern Light\u201d fir.HICKETT said there had been no improvement in the service across the Straits since Confederation.It was the duty of the Government to furnish P.E.Island with means for taking advantage of the improved markets created by the National Policy.He denied a statement made by the hon.member for King\u2019s that overty existed on the Island and read gures showing that the experts of the Island had greatly increased under the present Government.Mr.DAVIES\u2014 Of what do these exports consist ?\u201d ' Mr.HACKETT said they consisted of agricultural products.He hoped that before another year was over the Government would offer a sutfficient subsidy for the efficient carrying out of the steam service across the Straits of Northumberland.He considered that the \u2018\u201c\u201c Northern Light \u201d had been a failure, and regretted she had ever been put on the route at all.Only a year ago the member for Queen's (Mr.Davies) had declared at a public meeting that he did not understand this subject, but now he attempted to lecture the House upon it, , Mr, CASEY did not see that this question should be considered one of importance only to Prince Fdward Island.\u201d He thought it concerned all Canada as well.He thought, the hon.gentlemen opposite were experimenting with the people of Priuçe Edward Island to see how long they would go without this right under a Conservative Government.The present Government had made no effort to carry out the terms of Confederation in this matter, and had therefore proved themselves guilty of bad faith.The people of Old Canada, as well as those of Prince Edward Island, were getting tired of waiting for the Government to carry out its pledges.The motion was carried.The House-adjourned at 6 p.1u.NOTICES OF MOTION.Mr.Wheler\u2014On Wednesday next, en-

rich, and progressive, with a surplus of $5,000,000 in her Treasury; Quebec is paddling along like a chiffonnier, living from hand to mouth, and piling up a debt that is already alarming in its proportions.With a larger population and greater interests, the annual expenditure of the sister Province is actually less than ours by several hundred thousand dcllars.Since 1871, 68 new townships have been opened up in Ontario, and half a million of acres of land have been reclaimed by the drainage policy of the Government 1,500 miles of railway have been added, opening up large sections of the Province, and of which the country received the benefit.Had not a most rigid economy been exercised the expenditure would have been much greater, In 1873, Mr.Mowat's first complete year, the expenditure was $2,460,212 ; in 1882 it was $2, 425,595, or $34,315 less than was expended eleven years ago, and last year was an exceptionally high year in comparison with previous ones.Here isa record of which any .Government might well be proud, and yet this is not all.Though a policy of economy has been carried out in every branch of the public service, Mr.Mowat and his colleagues cannot be accused of parsimony or niggardiiness, Since 1871 they have established an asylum at Hamilton, an asylum at Kingston, an agylum at Orillia, have enlarged the asylum at London, have opened the Central Prison, the Agricultural College, the Mercer Reformatory, the refuge for girls ; the Asylum for the Blind at Brantford, the Normal School at Ottawa, and the County model Schools.They have organized the Bureau of Statistics, the Provincial Board of Health, the Boards of License Commissioners, the Vital Statistics Branch, the inspection of Division Courts and insurance companies, the School of Art and design, and the college of technology.In addition to all this they have made grants te the dairymen\u2019s association, the fruit growers and agricultural societies; they have provided for the payment of wilnesses in criminal cases, have furnished the courts with shorthand writers, and have liberally assisted hospitals and charities throughout the Province, and after all they have five millions in hand.This is a splendid record, and the people of Ontario will indeed be ungrateful if they do not reward the men who have done this noble work by retaining them in power, backed up by as large a majority as they had in the House recently-dissolved.Look now on the other picture.Quebec started out on equal terms with Ontario.She received a cash grant to enable her to start housekeeping on her own account, and since then she has been the recipient of a per capita subsidy proportionately the same as Ontario gets.She has had her revenue from the crown* lands and other sources, yet she has found it necessary to borrow money from time to time, and thus roll up a great debt that the people are responsible for, and the interest on which eafs up a large portion of her revenue.There is no excuse, there is no reason for this: Quebec should stand on as firm and sold a basis to-day as Ontario occupies ; and so she would were her affairs managed with anything like economy and prudence.But they are not so managed.It seems to be the object of those in power to show not how much they can save but how much they can spend.There is no attempt at economy; there is not the tirst shadow of retrenchment visible.After he has drawn in all sorts of actual and presumed items of revenue the Treasurer figures on a paltry balance in his favour of about four thousand dollars, and it is almost certain that the surplus will become a deficit before the end of the fiscal year.Instead of cutting down and making an endeavour to have both both ends meet, we find that he demands $150,000 for new Parliament buildings, another $150,000 for new court houses at Quebec, and over three hundred thousand dollars for charities.No doubt these charities are all diserv- ing ones, but the Government should bear in mind the old adage that \u201c gharity begins at home,\u201d and that no man is justified in giving his money to the poor while his own family is starving.But in the face of our poverty what do we want with new Parliament buildings Do our legislators long for a building papered with mortgages?Do they desire to sit in a chamber with borrowed money in every stone in its walls?The present houses were good enough for greater \u2018men than they ; and held Parliaments that shall be remembered when the present Government is forgotten, except for the debt and disaster that it is heaping on the people.If we wish to hold our own and keep pace with the sister Provinces, we must at once abandon all these extravagant notions, and inaugurate a system of strict economy.Sweep away the Legislature Council, to begin with.It is neither ornamental nor useful, though it costs the Province about $40,000 a year, which is an important item when the Treasurer has to strain his figures to the utmost to show a trifling fancied surplus in his favour.Prosperous Ontario has managed her affairs with- Tout a second Chamber, and Quebec ought to be able to do the same.Our Legislature is practically but a large municipal council, and there is no more necessity for an Upper House than there is for a second storey to the Council of the city of Montreal, Taking Mr.Wurtele\u2019s figures as they stand and making the best of them, they are disheartening and discouraging, and indicate anything but a healthy conditions of affairs.How long is this sort of thing to last?Already the public debt consumes nearly half of our yearly income, and yet it is proposed to borrow more, with the prospect of continuing to borrow as long as we can find people to purchase our paper.It would be worse than folly-\u2014it would be dishonest\u2014to attempt to shut our eyes to the fact that Mr.Mousseau and his colleagues are sailing close to danger, and that, if they continue on their present course they must, sooner or later, wreck the Province on the brakers before them.They know full well the resources at their command.They can count on their legitimate income almost to a dollar, and it is their bounden duty to themselves and the country to keep their outlay within that income under any and all cireamstances.Making new loans is but adding to the trouble, as those loans place new burdens on the people.To talk pf new public buildings, with a huge debt staring us in the face, is almost criminal.It will be time enough to put.them up when we can honestly afford to pay for them.We must cut our coat according to our cloth, er wear the old - one till we are.able to buy a new.AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.Although President Grevy does not wear a crown his head is, in all probability, one of the most uncasy in Europe, since it is difficult for him to gauge the public sentiment of that distracted country, France.The name of Gambetta was for long akin to a talisman, and exercised upon the public very much the same influence that in their respective eras the cries of Donaparte and Bourbon were accustomed to exert.But, Gambetta dead, there ensued a time when the Reactionary agencies raised their heads and undertook to inaugurate the annulment of all that whether for good or for evil had been accomplished under the Republic.The Orleanists, it is true, have been chronic comers to the surface, but since the advent of the third: Napoleon it has not so far seemed possible to raise the Fleurs de Lys te the position of a drapeau national.Deeming that his cause was clear, when the French tribune departed this life, the inevitable \u2018 Plon Plon \u201d came out and tried to convey the impression that he was the man of the hour.As did his cousin he came forward as a citizen and sought to create dissatisfaction by the contention that France was pining for another opportunity upon which the public might declare what they desired to have in the shape of a government, He caused his incendiary placards to be posted in every diree- tion ; but the sole response to his call for a plebiscite was the tacit, but none\u2019 the less emphatic, declaration «that his hour of elevation had not arrived and that for him prison doors were opened, while, if anything, the public were less prepared than ever they were Lor a return of the old regime either undure the monarchy or the empire.Doubiless, after Le had like the ancient Cassandra lamented the evil days that had come upon his native land, when the Republic had disordered the finances, dissatisfied the people, and rendered the nation contemptible in the eyes of the outside world, he expected that his name might have en- kindled some enthusiasm, but it did not achieve what he anticipated, for though he did not find himself a constrained prisoner in the Castle of Ham he developed into an individual whose personal and family antagonism to the commonwealth rendered it inadvisable that he should be allowed to THE MONTREAL HERALD, A remain within it.His agitation which in itself was of an ephemeral character has, however, served to cause such Ministerial changes as have completely altered the aspect of the administration and made a burning issue the question of whether it was advisable to allow French personages bearing the title of Prince to remain within the country.Soon after Gambetta's death Le Temps speculating on the probable effect of his loss on the Republican party in the Assembly, said it would either lead to a still greater disintegration into \u201c groups,\u201d or else to greater solidity : that it could not possibly leave things as they were in Gambefta\u2019s latter days.The latter seems to have been the case and of this we have an evidence in the new administration that has finally been formed, the Republicans having come more closely together and pre- sentad to their opponents a front which shows that the temporary disorganization has more close.y united the men who without Gambetta at the head were not unnaturally regarded as incompatibles.The late government was pitifully weak and the man of to-day and of the future must be one who is possessed of all the qualities that fit him to be a leader of men.M.Grevy is not a strong man, on the contrary he is weak, nevertheless for the present he may be the safest statesman to whom the nation can look ; and when the proper man comes to the surface no one will be more ready to make way for and co-operate with him than the present President.The recent crisis has set some of our American contemporaries to work at criticising the French Reputlic and discovering the weak spots in it.Among theseare the dangerous traditions respecting rank and power, all of which point toward monarchy, and render it possible for usurpers such as the first and third Napoleon to captivate the heart of the people, enabling them in this way to create new dynasties that may supersede those which have been compelled to stand aside for the temporary Republic.Besides, for one reason or another, there scarcely seems to be that deep confidence in the system that is so essential to its continuance.It is claimed that too many Republicans have allowed the enemies of their system to assume an equality with them, where no equality should exist, but probably recent lessons will carry the conviction that mere stability and suitableness should be tolerated no longer.In addition there are too many cliques, and these have rendered official changes so frequent that distrust was inevitable.It may be that some day; but the opportunity is not yet awhile, when some claimant will arise, and strive, for his own purposes, to inaugurate constitutional changes, but he must be a strong man, and possessed of qualities by which no one now prominent is specially characterized.There are many who pretend that the day of monarchy wlll dawn at least once more, but opinion is tolerably united that it will not be under either a Bonaparte or a Bourbon, an outsider who arises to the top by sheer force of ability being the man whom the people will again honor with their confidence.The trouble in France just now is that she has no man to step to the front and rule the people.Jules Ferry, who has been called upon by President Grevy to form a Government, is but a second-rate politician at the best, and his colleagues are men almost unknown beyond the boundaries of their respective Departments.Greater men must come to the front or there is trouble in store for la belle France.THE COLONIAL MEAT SUPPLY.According to our British Exchangei and the latest advices generally the mechanical difficulties in the way of the shipment of sound mutton or beef, not merely across the Atlantic, but from the Antipodes, have been completely overcome by the use of the Bell-Coleman or Haslam refrigerating appliances, and the difficulty of distribution of the meat when once landed is the remaining obstacle.The problem of price largely hinges on distribution.If the importers become direct purveyors, without the intervention of the middle-man, the meat will be relieved of the largest of the charges which it has to bear,and if a charge on the inordinate profits of the middleman is imposed by the fixing, of something like a reasonable standard price, the matter will have fair play in tne matter of cost.In the matter of quality it is subject to no artificial drawbacks.As Canadians we contend that we can supply the primest of meats\u2014Dbeef, mutton and pork\u2014at a lower price than it can be grown in England, and in the only eompetition that we have had with Aus tralia.and New Zealand we can see no teason why we should not always have the control of the market.Some of our English contemporaries have raised the question of quality, holding that * the roast beef of old England\u201d and its other meats cannot in any way be approached by those of the colonies.Dut this is a question with the public which, if it decides on testing the meat on its merits, that it is not equal to the produce of our English-grown flocks and herds, no arguments on the part of those interested in the trade will persuade them that it is.If the verdict is against the colonial meats, particularly that of Canada and our Great North-West in which we are interested, and the quality is pronounced to be inferior, the next question will be whether-it is relatively inferior if procurable at a lower price.But we deny that there is any inferiority of quality, and since our cattle, and our sheep as well, are fed not upon the- artificial foods with which the old country has been filled, but upon those natural grasses, cereals and roots that are so plentiful herd, the consequence being that so so far as concerns excellence we are ahead of any other ceuntry, while, as for price, it is unquestioned that we are unapproachable, as is evidenced by - the iufluence which Canadian meat has had upon the English meat market.That something has to be done is evidenced by the following from the Colonies and Fndia -\u2014\u201cThousands of persons will be compelled to reduce their consumption of meat so long as the present high prices continue ; thousands more will be obliged to go without mutton altogether ; whercas, if a supply of Colonial meat were at hand, they would be cagerto give it gt least a fair trial.\u201d The same paper concludes :\u2014\u201cTo the vast majority of the British public the Colonies could not prove their value in a more forcible manner than in stopping the meat famine by sending us good mutton and beef at reasonable prices.\u201d \u2014 POPULATION PER SQUARE MILE.A table has been recently published from which the density of the population of India is strikingly apparent, and particularly is this the case, when we contrast it with the sparseness of the settlement of Canada.The presidency of Bengal contains 205,457 square miles with a population of 69,133,619, or at the rate of 339 per mile.Great Britain contains 34,862,000 people or at the rate of 271 per mile, while Canada, including Newfoundland, with 3,412,000 square miles of territory, only contains 4,531,000 people, or 14 persons per mile.The North-West Provinces of India, including Oude, 111,086 miles in extent, have 44,857,542 residents or 402 people per mile, while England with an area of 58,000 square miles is in the hands of 25,000,000 souls or 451 per square mile.Scotland and Ireland have respectively 123 and 157, men, women and children, to support on every mile which they cover.These older countries, it is thus manifest, particularly when we compare them with our own, are considerably overpopulated.We do not desire to introduce or invoke the theories of Malthus, but invite them to compare the advantages which Canada offers to those presented by other countries.There must be a re-division of population.We have not yet had our fair share of it.We make our claim which should be respected.We may not have as much capital in the hands of a specified number of persons, as is the case in Europe, but we are enabled to make a more equitable division and we have a considerable amount of wealth of which fo dispose of to those who are three hundred times as thick as we are upon our native or adopted soil.The facts and figures show that eastward in Europe and in Agia the ratio of population to land is disproportionate.With us the amount of land to population is also disproportionate.We want an equalization and it is to the general advantage that we should have it.The figures we have cited stand as a witness against us.À new balance has to be struck and the inevitable injunction to the inbabitant of the East is \u201cGo West!\u201d THE \u2018\u201cQUEBEC.\u201d It isannounced in our despatches this morning that the steamship \u201c Quebec,\u201d of the Dominion Line, about which there has been so much anxiety, has arrived at Holyhead.She sailed nearly two months ago with a misccllaneous cargo, including two hundred head of cattle.At the time we write, full details of the voyage have not reached us, but the ship must have had a terrible time of it, to have becn so long at sea.Tee weakness of the Opposition in Ontario at present is that they have no men of prominence to lead them.Even if the Government of Mr.Mowat was less powerful than it is it would have little to fear from the third-rate politicians who are pitted against them.Speaking on this point the Guelph Herald an out-and- out Conservative paper says :\u2014\u201c The Opposition as at present constituted is not strong.It would be difficult to form a Cabinet out of the Opposition ranks, Mr.Meredith is not all that could be desired for a Premier.Mr.Morris\u2019 ill health unfits him for holding a responsible position.Mr.Merrick is a man with a hobby, and Mr.Lauder, like a fly in the apothecary\u2019s oinsment, is not pleasant even for the nostrils of his own party.We must have new material, for it is only by presenting material superior to that of the Mowat Administration that the Conservativer can hope for success.\u201d The Conservatives of Ontario not only want new materal, but they want a new organ.The Mail through its worse than silly conduct tovching the \u201cMarmion\u201d controversy, and its vulgar and insulting comments on the great Reform Convention have utterly destroyed whatever joint prospect the Coaservatives may have had of carrying the province.Mr.Mowat and his Gove:nment are strong and will be retained in power, but the Mail has added to their strength.\u2014_\u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Gov.BENJAMIN F.BUTLER has made a new departure in his management of affairs in Massachusetts.A short time ago charges of cruelty were laid against Mr Earle, warden of the \u2018State prison, which charges the warden promptly and most emphatically denied.In order to ge at the truth, Gov.Butler gave the prsoners authority to write him direct, in setled letters, what the facts were.Many of them availed themselves of the o por- tuaity, and their letters charged Earle wih the most brutal and outrageous crielties toward the helpless prisoners, It was declared that he had chained up men with their arms above their heads for 96 hours at a stretch, and that in one case th: warden had kept a man chained up fo: 120 hours.Solitary confinement was a frequent punishment, and was carried to cruel lengths, the prisoners aver.They further say that the warden had a habit of knocking them down, putting his foot on their throats and taunting them.On the sirength of this evidence Gov.Butler dismissed Karle, and the newspapers, as a rule, stand by him.General Butler seems to have changed his nature since the days when he ruled down in New Orleans.\u2014\u2014_ AN Australian paper gives the following account of à new and astonishing tele- phomic discovery:\u2014\u201c The telephone enab.ed us to speak with friends at a dis- | hosts of living active beings.Each minute ND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20.tance.Would they be astonished if we were to tell them that it was now proved to be possible to convey in a similar manner vibrations of light\u2014to not only speak with your distant friend, but actually to see him, The electroscope\u2014the name of the instrument which enabled us to do this\u2014was the very latest scientific discovery, and to Dr.Gnidrah, of Victoria, belonged the proud distinction.The trial of this wonderful instrument took place at Melbourne on the 31st October last, in the presence of some forty scientific and public men, and was a great success.Sittingin a dark room they saw projected on a large disc of white burnished metal the race-cout-e at Flemington, with its myriad detail stood out with perfect fidelity to the original, and as they sat looking at the wonderful picture through binocular glasses it was difficult to imagine that they were not actually upon the course itself and moving amongst those whose actions they could so completely scan.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014 Our despatches recently reported a remarkable and interesting fact in connection with the deep-sea soundings thal have been in progress oh the line o sounding from Bermuda to the Bahamas.The coast-survey steamer \u2018\u201c Blake\u201d claims the distinction of having made the deepest sounding ever made in the Atlantic ocean.On the 19th January, in latitude 19 deg.41 min.north, longitude 66 deg.24 min.west, about one hundred and five miles narthwest from St.Thomas, the lead did not touch bottom until 4,561 fathoms of line had been paid out.The greatest depth heretofore found in the Atlsntic has been 3,862 fathoms.The location of this sounding was close to that of the resent one, and was made by the ¢ Chal- Finger,\u201d which, sent out by the Roval Society of England, made soundings in the Atlantic between the year 1872 and 1876.The recent soundings indicate a depth of about five English miles, es À CONTEMPORARY remarks:\u2014\u201c Before 50 years are over France will, at her present slow rate of increase of population, have sunk, if not to the level of à second rate, at least, to the bottom of the list of great powers.If we suppose that the population of the United States and of thé various countries of Europe are decimated by no wars or exceptional maladies, and still present their present frontiers and go on increasing at the present rate of increase, their numbers will by the year 1932, a time which our children will see, be as follows:\u2014United States, 190,- 000,000; Russia, 158,000,000; Germany, 83,000,000; Great Britain, 65,000,000; Austria-Hongary, 44,000,000; and Italy, 44,000,000.So that France, which a century ago was really La Grand Nation, having still the largest population in Europe will be but the sixth in point of numbers.\u201d So FAR 1883 has been a most disastrous year.§The accidents by flood and field on shore and at sea are terrible to look back upon.There have been floods in Germany and America, snow-slides in the far West, disastrous fires in many places, shipwrecks involving the loss of hundreds of lives, explosions in mines, and railway accidents innumerable.It is estimated that during the month and a half that has elapsed since the beginning of the year nearly two thousand persons have been killed through the accidents that have taken place.The record is a ghastly one.DEATHS.Kruuy.\u2014In this city, on the 18th inst, Mr.Patrick

When the second reading of the bill to rovide for the amalgamation of the Bank of Nova Scotia with the Bank of Prince Edward Island was moved, Mr.Casgrain raised a point of order, claiming that the Bill should have been printed and in the hands of members before the second reading was moved.Mr.Speaker, amid Opposition cheers, ruled that the point was well taken, and directed the promoter of the Bill, Mr.Tupper, to supply the defect.The Bill was allowed to stand on the order paper.Mr.Norquay, Premier of Manitoba, will arrive in the city in a few days, He is anxious that a Manitoba Senatorship shall by some means be made vacant for him.Mr.Justice (Gwynne, sitting in the Exchequer Court, to-day, gave judgment in the case of Lucy McQueen vs.the Crown.The suit was brought to recover a large iece of land, known as Cartier square, in this city.\u2018This property was taken by the Government many years ago, for canal purposes, but not having been so used, the plaintiff, as heir of the original atentee, claims that it should revelt to er.Judge Gwynne dismissed the petit- tion with costs.; In the Semate, to-day, a discussion arose over the dismissal of a page by the Contingent Committee, on the ground that his parents had removed to the United States.Some Senators claimed that the boy had been harshly dealt with, while others insisted that it would be inconsistent with the Government olicy of fostering native talent and in- Sustry to keep him in the service of the House.The young lad, who is a son of Rev.T.S.Phillips, will have his passage paid to Chicago.In this way the Government are helping to expatriate our own people, while giving some of the best positions in the public service to foreigners.Sir Alex.Campbell defended the appointment of an additional page on the ground that he was required for the exclusive service of the Speaker, and at the close of this important and arduous discussion the Senate adjourned until the 1st of March.Preliminary steps were taken to-day to have the double return case from King\u2019s County, P.E.L, referred to the Committee on Priviliges and Elections.The Tories now admit that in obliging their returning officer to constitute himself an Election Judge, they made a great mistake, The prospects are that Mr.Robertson will be declared elected, but'if the seat is declared vacant, he will score an easy victory.Mr.Blake has given notice of his intention to move for a statement of the number of votes polled in every Cousty and polling division throughout the Dominion at the general election in June last.He is anxious, no \u20ac point out the palpable defects of the present election machinery with a view to suggesting improvements.Statements of population, number of electors, and number of ballots cast in each sub-diviston will also be asked for.| Mr.Dugas intends to ask the Government if it is their intention at the present session to amend the Controverted Elections Act, 1874.Mr.Dupont is anxious that.the mails between Farnham and Guillaume.shall be carried via the St.Lawrence and Champlain Junction Railway.Mr.Blake intends to investigate the alleged frauds in connection with the grinding in bond business, and also the present relations between Hon.J ohn O'Connor and the Government of the Dominion.Mr.Paterson, of Brant, will move for a return, showing the amount of drawback poid upon manufactured goods exporte any such drawback.He proposes to demonstrate what is an actyal fact, that the export of manufactures frem Canada ix declining, our presen: prosperity being doubt, to] THE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, TTESDAY.FEBRUARY 20.5 pp =F \u2014E Se \u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 due wholly to good crops and our active lumber trade.Mr.Dawson has asked fora voluminous return respecting the navigation of Hudson Bay.Mr, Cameron will move for particulars in connection with the numerous licenses to cut timber lately granted by the Government.The model of Mr.Hebert, of Montreal, for the Sir George Cartier Monument, has been accepted ;

MAYORALTY.ANOTHER ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING IN FAVOR OF MR.BULMER.A very large and and influential meeting was held last evening at the central committee rooms of Mr.Bulmer, on Craig street.Theroom was crowded to overflowing, Among those present were Meszrs.Henry Bulmer, Ald.Hood, Donovan and Roy tand Messrs.Poupart, Ives, Mullarky, Peltier, Potter, and a great number of others.; Mr.Masterman was called to the chair, aud he stated that in his opinion the time had come, not so much as to who would be mayor, but that one man should not monopolize the mayoralty.He hoped that the meeting and the citizens generally would give Mr.Bulmer a hearty support.Mr.Bulmer, on coming forward, was received with loud applause.which lasted for several minutes.He stated that before the meeting was organized, he wished to express the gratification he felt at seeing so large a representation of the citizens of sections of this city.Since the nomination, he had received such very general assurances of support, that he was bound.He had received numerous assurances of support from all classes of the community, and many prominent gentlemen had sent him letters expressing their regret that they could not be present at the meeting.He assured them that if élected he would do all in his power to merit their confidence.He thanked those present for their hearty support, and hoped that they would now roceed to the work of organization.Mr.Balmer was repeatedly interrupted by out bursts of applause, and during his address the utmost enthusiasm was manifested.Mr.Mullarky next addressed the meeting, and his remarks were very gencrally applauded.He remarked in the course of his address that Mr.Beaudry had served so many times that it was nearly time that another gentleman should be elected in his stead.The speaker paid a tribute to the administrative qualities of Mr.Rivard, the ex-Mayor, The citizens of Montreal west once elected Dr.Hingston by 4,000 majority over Mr.Beaudry, and he had the assurance that Mr.Bulmer\u2019s majority would be very large.He was -of opinion that a public meeting should be called to rotest against the remarks made by Mreaudry on certain matters of vital importance.He related the many services which Mr.Bulmer had rendered the city during the time he had served as a member of the City Council and more especially with regard to the sewerage system of Montreal, which Mr.Bulmer had rendered perfect.Mr.Bulmer by his long experience and his standing was highly qualified to occupy the civic chair, and he had the certitude that if his friends worked heartily a large majority would be secured.Ald.Donovan followed, and in his brief address was most enthusiastically applauded.He considered that the time had arrived to have a change in the civic representation.Mr.Beaudry by his old age and his infirmities was unfit to fill the chief position in the city.Mr.Beaudry should bave retired in a a graceful manner after such a long term of service.Mr.Beaudry had not shown any good reason for coming out again as a candidate, and the present contest which he had forced on the electors would entail a new expenditure, for which he must be held responsible.As one of the representatives of St.Anns\u2019 Ward, he could say with all consciousness, that Mr.Bulmer would receive in that section of the city the support which his merits entitled him to.Mr.Buliner was a man acceptable to all nationalities, and as such he would recieve such a support as would carry him into the civic chair.Ald.Roy, of St.Mary\u2019s Ward, followed in French and assured Mr.Bulmer that the immense majority of the French population of his district had made up their minds to give to their English fellow citizens of this city that share of notice to which they were entitled to, and they promised a good majority from St.Mary\u2019s ard.: Mr.Joseph Poupart stated that he had been authorized by Mr.Sever Rivard, ex- Maygr, to state that the latter was heart and soul in favour of Mr.Bulmer.Mr.Bulmer here returned thanks for the kind expressions which the speakers had expressed, and thanked them for their attendance.Ald.Hood then said a few words to the effect that St.Antoine Ward would do its duty nobly by-Mr.Bulmerr.Pelltier, President of the Club jCar- tier, next addressed the meeting, and urged the claims of Mr.Bulmer, as the representative of the English-speaking population of this city.The meeting then proceeded to appoint Committees in each ward of the city for the purpose of canvassing.Mr.Masterman.was appointed Chairman of Commuttees, and Mr Seath Secretary.The meeting then broke up.DEATH ON THE RAIL.THE INQUEST.Coroner Jones opened an inquest yesterday morning on the remains of James Archer McNab, aged 12 years, whose death on Saturday by falling under a Grand Trunk Railway car at Point St.Charles, has already been noted.The inquest was held at the residence of the deceased\u2019s father, Mr.Donald McNab.61 Forfar street.The first witness called was the father, who deposed that he was a carpenter, and was at home when the news was brought to him about a quarter to five o\u2019clock on Saturday evening that his son had been run over by the railway cars and cut in two.Deceased was brought home immediately.John McDonald, a boy 8 vears old, was called and testifled that he was playing in the vicinity of the cars on Saturday at the time of the accident with Robert Assam, John Wilson, William Thompson and deceased.Deceased ran over to the cars; witness did not go and was not in the habit of going.This was all he knew about the accident.William Thompson, aged 11, deposed that he was outside the cars at the shunting ground at the time of the accident.Stephen Jones and the last witness were with him; deceased was in one of the cars; witness told him the engine was coming, but he took no notice; the engine came on and struck the car in which the deceased was; deceased at this went to jump, but in doing so fell backward and struck the back of his head against the car door; he went under the car wheel, which passed over him, cutting him in twe.William John Wilson, aged 12 years, was in the cars on Saturday at the time of the accident.The cars were shunting.There were a lot of little boys about the witness\u2019 own size; they were on the cars, and deceased was with them playing \u201ctag\u201d; men were shovelling snow off the track; the engine was coming down, and witness Jumped out and called to deceased to jump, but he wanted to stop in.The engine was attached to the cars, and when in pretty fast motion deceased jumped, but not far enough, and rolled back off the slope of snow on the side of the track, under the wheels.It was on the river side of the track.ln answer to a juror, witness said that there was a brakesman on the top of the cars, and who looked at him but eave no alarm.There were also train men shovelling snow off the track, but they appeared nct to notice any danger.Witness was out of danger when he and the brakes- man looked at each other.Napoleon Andre Biron had full charge of shunting engine No.16 on Saturday at the time of the accident.Witnesses here described the manner in which the accident happened.He did not sce deceased fall under the wheels.It is the rule to sound whistle at crossings, but not otherwise when shunting.Could not say if the whistle sounded or bell rang in this case as he was 15 cars off at the time of the accident.Thomas Clarke was driver of the engine at the time.Saw deceased after he was killed and identitied body now.Stephen Jones, another playmate of deceased at the tine, gave evidence corroborative of former witnesses, and the jury after a few minutes consultation returned the following verdict \u2014\u201c That the deceased, James Akin McNab, came to his death in an accidental manner, and not otherwise; and the jurors recommend that the law forbidding any one on the tracks be more strictly carried out.\u201d IF NEARLY DEAD after taking some highly puffed up stuff, with long testimonials, turn to Hop Bitters and have no fear for any Kidney or Urinary Troubles, Brights
