all they could offer in return was that it should be their earnest endeavour to make their decds worthy of the great principles they had been taught.He expressed the regret which the graduates felt in parting from the students of other yearg and urged the latter to maintiin the esprit de corps which has so long existed among the whole body of students.He especially urged them to maintain the old institutions of the faculty, the drive, the moat court and the dinner, for these constitutel, as it were, à fountayn from which would ever flow streams of good fellowship, friendship and mutual trust.The valedictorian next alluded to a few af the salient beau ties and majestic principles of the law and the consequent sacredness of the lawyer\u2019s mission as one entrusted to be its faithful exponent, and alluded to the duties of an advocate.It should be their duty at the outset to acquire a just conception of the importance and dignity of the advocates\u2019 mission, so that it would not be debased by alow and narrow estimate of its requirements and duties ; and that it will not be made the means of advancing self-agorandizement and sordid ends, remembering that its true interests-are so much identified with those of the conununity shat be, why, by his exertions and example, contributes to advance the one, is at the same time serving the other, and that he who tries to do so honestly, however feeble be his effort, will elicit the approval and encoyragement of honest men ; and his cons ienge, above all, will ratify that approval.They should not regard it as a mere pursuit of pleasure, bit as the road that leads to the brightest rewards of human ambition, They should entertain a just reverence for its precepts, as it teaches us to build our reputations upon the soundest morals and deepest principles, an.the most exalted ideas of purity of life and character.If every lawyer were to embrace the profession with such ideas of its importance and dignity, it would be spared the many indignities to which it has been made subject by the sneers of the ignorant, and the gibes of the witty, who endeavour to cast the odium of the mis-deeds of some, and the frailties of others, on the whole fraternity.Such logic would have no weight with the just and refined.It would make the true lawyer\u2019s character shine with an undiminished brightness, when it is constrasted with that of the unworthy who, false to the creeds of his order, has lowered its dignity, and demeaned its precepts.The valedictorian in concluding said: \u201c Our Alma Mater ean now proudly boast of many of her worthy sons, who, as practitioners, have risen to the highest eminence in the profession, and who worthily wear the ermine of the Bench; of others who have stood at the helm of State, and who have adorned the Senate by their presence.Let this thought enkindle within us, an ambition to rise to a like eminence,\u2019 so that Old McGill will ever be proud of her sons.\u201d THE DEAN\u2019S ADDRESS.Prof.W.H.Kerr, Q.C., Dean of the Faculty, in addressing the gewly conferred J students said :\u2014 Mr.Chairman, gentlemen of convocation and graduates inlay: On many previous Occasions the Professors in my sition today in addressing former graduates in law of this University, have spoken to future judges and ghief justices.Let us hope that the same fate awaits those now before us (applause).It isa difficult thing in addressing students year after year, not to be guilty of sameness, and very difficult indeed to render your remarks interesting to the general ublic.The object of my remarks to-day would be to direct, your earnest attention to the greatméss ofâthe subject you have undertaken to administer during your practice.Law, as u are aware, is divided into two great ranches, international and municipal law, the former regulating the relations of different states, the latter regulating the relations of cities or portions Qf these states.The subject so lal before you is one of the greatest mportance.The safety of life and property depends upon proper law and its proper administration.[Applause.] Without both, liberty is a mockery and a sound.It becomes the duty, therefore, of every member of society, and your duty especially as members of the Bar, to strive for these two great objects\u2014the securing of the passage of good laws in this Province and Dominion, and to secure its proper and pure administration.[Applause.] Lawyers, as is well known, have {always been found foremost in all great struggles for liberty.[Applause.) Law has had its martyrs striving, in the frent rank of eivilization, for liberty and right, Of old the sword was more reverenced than any of the organs of other professions, but gradually thetinfluence of intellect began to be felt.But in these days of ours a third power has arisen | which eclipses all the rest and to which all, men fall down in reverence-I mean Mammon.(Laughter.) Money seems now to be the universal god, and the intellectual professions are neglected.In the Province of Quebee, the Bar does nog occupy he popit n ta which it is entitled.° (Applau 1\u20ac should, therefore, be one of your principal aims to work zealously in future, so as to secure for the Bar, of which you are a member, its | proper position.Your valedictorian has just now expressed very well the duty of a lawyer.His main object should not be to make money, \u20ac but to see justice done and to aet honourably and justly towards his clients.{Applause.) Act 80 and I assure yan that you will reap your ,reward, Yor in no other profession does The ald saying hold truer that '* Honesty is the best poli\u20acy.\u201d (Applause.We, in this country, have had for some years a cancer eating into our law\u2014the curse of society in this country that is, politics.(Applause).Not only am I sorry Lo say is it eating into and 1mpairing our laws, but it is the direct cause of many other evils ; the Bench itselfis being pros\u2018ituted in erder that political partisans may be placed in positions to administer law, men no more fitted by nature or education to administer law than to be archbishops of dioceses.(Laughter and applause.) Solong as such a state of things continue the liberties of no one will be safe, and it becomes our bounden duty to solemnly protest.(Applause) No country can be prosperons where the laws are not good and their administration pure and perfect.(Continued applause.) On all occasions when I am called upon to address graduates in law a sense of melancholy comes upon me.When I entered the profession a, number of years ago things were much différ- ent from what they are now ; there were few leaftures, and for exan.inations we were generally asked a very few questions y the judges, it generally happening however, that we knew what the questions would be several days before they were asked, so that our answers weré genérally very satisfactory.(Laughter and applagse.) But things have now greatly changed.In former times graauates in law generally knew very little of their profession.Of the graduates now, however, I can personally testify that\u2019 for the future is good.Comparing the interesting lecture delivered by our Vice- Chancellor a few days ago with the one of the Tar betore, it is seen that iu the year past the niversity has received many liberal, indeed noble, gifts.I would not create envy, and 1 believe that I wiil create none, though mentioning that I have more particularly In mind those of W.C.AMucTymall, who is still among n+, und of the late Hiram Mills, David J.Gre-nshlelds, and Mrs.Stuart, ave Gale.Allbf these have received mention in the Vice-Chancellor\u2019s last lecture; yet on this Occasion, in the hearing of many who may not have boen present at that lecture, they may appropriately be again alluded to, Moreover, Mra.Stuart's legacy is dedicated specially to the law school, the friends of which constitute more particularly to-duy\u2019s assembly.The names of such benefactors deserve to be honoured and to be preserved in our memor- iesand in those of our successors.It is piea- sant to witness the rich acknowledging to have otherduty upon them than merely to pay their servants their w niu es and to indulge xuries.Truly, if they ad not such duty, our institutions of learning and art, our hos- |.pitals, our widows and orphans, the deaf and dumb, the paralytic and blind, would fare badiy,and aLazarus might be unrelieved atany rich man\u2019s or woman's gate.Passing from this to our present condition, I have to state that notwithstanding the gifts we have received, the requirements of the University call for more.aterial wants, stated in the Vice-Chancellor\u2019s lecture of a year ago, continue to be wants to this day, for instance, we want *a boarding and lodging house for students, with proper dining hall and recreation room.Let us hope that as the past year has been prosperous the next one may also be.Saturday was given up to the Medical School, and, with reference to it, I may be permitted to observe that if the oh aracter of medigal education throughout our country has been raised in the last twenty years, as undoubtedly it has been, it is owing in great measure to the teaching by this Medical School, whose eleves are to be found in every part of the Dominion.To-day we have been conferring degrees upon the graduates in law, and I would say to those who have gotten dêgrees: Be grateful for the instruction that you have received and for the degrees that the Universily has conferred upon you.You are about to enter upon the practice of a mest honourable profession.In the course of your career great responsibilities will at times fall upon you.Strive to perform your duties with zeal, independen ce and conscientiousness.Help ap-.ressed, the weak, the poor.Do not ook upon the practice of your profession as a mere money making business ; it cannot be practised honourably, simply for money gain ; needless to say that those who practise dishonourably insull and degrade the profession.All are sure to be observed, nd the dishonouring members to be despised, while the faithful will not fail in the long run ly and hungrily for this reward.n the pro- ssions, whether of Law or Medecine, no young men have a right tocommand success suddenly.All must spend some years of waiting or probation.These ought to be years of steady study.1 would\u201d say to the young men before me (as Dupin said on a like occasion), it is a great error to suppose that you issue from the school of law with all the knowledge necessary for the practice of the profession.You have an immense deal to learn yet.We have a civil code, and some believe, stupidly, that they are lawyers because they have read and re-read it.You may Know the code to recite it like a catachism, and yet not be a jurisconsult.Noman can be this without a knowledge of principles, and to get this he must resort to the sources and study history, and philosophy.These sources are the Roman law and the old authors.\u2018Phe former is universally recognized as a perfectly inexhaustible source of reason and.doe- trine, and the latter must be studied and with method just as much as if we had no code, No eode ean provide for all cases.Dupin would have students go back to Dumotlin, Who is called by him \u2018\u2018 le plus grand de tous les anciens jurisconsultes Français.\u201d For my part I would say that the bar will fall off when such authors as Dourat, Ricard, Rennyson, Bourjon, Loysean, and Pothier \u2018ease to be regarded and studied.Pothier is very precious,and his work cannot fall into desuetude.Let me advise you to read over and over, again and again, all his leading works.Time fails for much that I could add upon such topie; but I must conclude by saying to you, as also to those of the Medical profession, who have taken degrees at this convocation that you have the best wishes of all connected with the University for success in your new sphere of life.(Applause).The degree of D.C.L.in course was then conferred upon Mr.D.G.Gauthier, B.C.L., of Sorel, Prof.W.C.Baynes administering the usual oath.The degree of M.D., was also administered upon Mr.Macdonald.who had been absent from the medical convocation on Saturday, Dr.Ox=ler agmiinistering the usual oath and Präncipat Dawson performing the ceremony of\u201c capping.\u201d he proceedings were then brought to a close by the Rev.I}.Cornish, prenquncing the Benediction.1h pe PASSE Vexxbd Prédicté April wil Be waringr than March.It matters not how cold it is;

while now, at the end of the session, the position is infinitely worse, and fraught with threatenings of disaster.To congratulate Parliament on the success of its labors under such painful circumstances is the bittercs} of irony; and to thank it for the \u201c cheerfulness\u201d with which it voted the supplies reads like an intended, though uncalled-for joke.We need not go beyond the statements made by Mr.Mousseau \u2018and his colleagues themselves.for proof of the fact that the financial.affairs of the Provinoe were never in such a wretched state as they are in now.After taxing everything it is possible to tax; after borrowing all they can borrow, and after mixing up the accounts in the most mysterious way, they ave still compelled to admit that they cannot make both ends meet.We will venture to say that if Mr.Wurtele were called upon to-day to furnish a clear, business-like statement of the actual position of affairs he would not be able to do so.Everything appears to be in a perfect muddle.Only afew days ago the Pre.ier admitted on the floor cf the House that he did not understand the position, that he : wag in ac-.tuat\u2019 igxorknce of Iris surtoundings: and he sought to avoid the responsibility hy throwing the blame on Mr.Chapleau, who, of course, was not there to defend himself.In the whole history of responsible govermment in this country there never was a man at the head of affairs who displayed less capacity, less energy, or less power in the management of men than Mr.Mousseau has shown since he stepped into Mr.Chapleau\u2019s cast-off slippers.We do not for a moment question his integrity.He was simply pitch-forked into a position which is too great for him.Wnt of capacity is not his fault \u2014N\u2018uure is answerable for that.What Mr.Chapleau could not do, it is not surprising that Mr.Mousseau has failed to accomplish.But be his weakness or his strength what it may, the Provice, unfortunatoly, is the sufferer.His incapacity or his want \u2018of knowledge uf local affairs\u2014it matters little \u2018stand or fall by it.wie patient and obedient Creatures ag a rule\u2014\u2014Dbroke away from his leadership aud insisted on framing for him his policy and his programme.A man of independent spirit and force of character would not have submitted for one moment to such dictation.He would have told them plumply and plainly, that, as head of the Government he, assisted by his celleagues, would lay down his own policy and But, instead of dojng s0, he bowed in humble submission before them, practically surrendered his functions, and actually so far humiliated himself as to say that the Government was but a committee of Parliament, bound to obey the wishes of the majority.Thus, during the rest of the session, the Government supporters in caucus assembled told the Government what to do and what not to do, and the Government obeyed them in all things.The original estimates were a muddle; they were held over for further tinkering, and again they were muddled ; and in the end they were submitted in a most irregular, if not an unconstitutional way.The idea of the Lieut.-Governor communicating officially with Parlisment, an à subject of the first importance, by means of a telegram, is sufficiently absurd to be worthy of a place in the next .burlesque by Sullivan and Gilbert.The blunders of the Gevernment would, indeed, be fit subject for merriment, were it not for the serious results that must follow.Not only has there been no reduction in the burdens that already press so heavily upon the people, but the weight of taxation has actually been increased, and our enormous debt has been swelled by another addition of no mean proportions.The future has been discounted, though the prospects of meeting our liabilities are as misty as ever.Our expenses largely overlap our income.There is no prospect of retrenchment ; no hope of economy.The Government do not attempt to conceal their poverty ; but, on the contrary, proclaim it aloud, by imploring \u2018tne Doininion authorities to throw them a crust.In the face of these facts, and with the pitiable record of the late every thinking man, no\u2019 ma'ter what his political, leanings may be, that there is absolutely no hope for the Provinge of Quebec while Mr.Moue seau 4nd his colleagues remain in power.In the present crisis, which is becoming mone serious day by day, we want at the head of our affairs the very best men we can find.Men of thorough business habits, clear-headed and conpetent ; and men who will place the, country get and serve it firm, whether their ®tonducs suits the ends of party or not.It is almost criminal to continue in our present career of debi-oreating extravagance.Were we living in the expectation of finding a gold mine on every farm in the Province we would hardly be justified in heaping loan upon lean in this reckless way, We are wildly, though pot blindly, forour eyesare wide open, pursuing a course similar to that which forced the State of Tennessee to repudiate one-half of her debt a few weeks ago.\"The folly and extravagance of the Government are as certainly forcing us beyond our power to pay as that the sun shines in the heavens.\u201d Already our fair Province is disgraced ; a few steps more and to that disgrace will be added dishonour.If there be any remnant of patriotism country face to face with ruin, let them confess their incapgeity and help- lessnoss, and the Prowince may be saved by others before it be too late.THE CAUSE OF THE RELAY.- gpa Lem The other day in speaking of the backwardness of the Government in bringing dewa the Kstimates fot the year, we suggested that the delay was probably owing to the actien of the United States Congress in making sundry alterations in the American tariff, as wall as to the absence of many members of the House during the Ontario dlection contest.In making this suggestion we were so unfortunate as to disturb the peace of mind of our conten.porary, the Gazette, and to ruffle the order of its plumage.asked what the members of the House had to do with the matter, and in What way the action of the American Congress could possibly effect the finances of Canada.Now, the opinion of our astute contemporary to the contrary netwithstanding, we fancy that it is no uncommon thing for the Minister, of Finance to consult members of the House id preparing his estimates.There is a very large sum of money in the statement now before Parliament for public works and buildings in different parts of the country.Will the Gazette say that the members from the localities.-reépectively interested never heard of the items until the estimafes were laid on the table ?Did the Minister, without consulting them, prepare those figures?Nay more, is it not his custom to sound publit opiniop, as $fpraseod through the recognized Reprébentatives of he many interests and cldsses, before he completes his work ?Even the Gazette, we fancy, -will: not deny this As to our suggestion that the delay was partially occasioned by the action of the American | Congress, we cannot do better than quote Sir Leonard Tilley\u2019s own words.In his opening remarks on Friday aftor- noon he said \u2014\u201cUnder these circumstances il became necessary that we should wait until we saw what the nature of the legislation of the United States, with reference to the customs and excise revenue, had been before we were prepared to submit to Partiament our propositions.\u201d Yt may be said that this applies only to revenue, but as the expenditure must be con- likely to be.session before us, it must be plain to- left in the men who have brought the We were.Under any circumstances he admits that the action of the United States Congress did, in part, occasion the delay.THE proposed visit of the British Assuciation to Canada next year 1s attracting considerabie attention on the other side of the Atlantic, Sir Alexander Galt having recently published in the London Times a letter describing the arrangements contemplated in this city.That paper holds that the visit is inexpedient, but agrees \u2018that it is now too \u2018late to cancel the engagement.The Times therefore hopes that the members who desired to decline the Canadian invitation, now that it has been accepted, will cheerfully fall in with the determination of the majority and not allow their own feelings to prejudice the success of the excursion.We are glad to be able to believe that the visit to Montreal has been fixed upon, assured that it will be advantageous and pleasurable fer all parties.The majority of the members of the Association know that there is such a country as Canada, that it is a British possession, and that within it are to be found localities upon which intending emigrants can satisfactorily establish themselyes.Some of them have an idea of the geology and topography of the Dominion, but otherwise we are as great strangers to them as if we lived ai the ends of the earth.Doubtless some of them are prepared to plume themselves on the fact that we are British subjects, but the tendency with them is to look down on us, because, forsooth, we are only colonists.It is for their benefit as we as ours that we should know each other better ; and visits like the one contemplated are in every way calculated to promote a more satisfactory mutual understanding.There isan excellent field here for the employment of the brains and the resources of some of the members of the Association, while it is in the power of many of them to direct to this country the class of labour that we require.eam \u201cLa PATRIE,\u201d in speaking of Mr.Patersan, whose criticism of Sir Leonard Tilley\u2019s financial statement we publish elsewhere, says:\u2014\u201c Mr, Paterson, the new critic of, the Left, is well known among the \u2018Liberals of the West.He ig one of the most powerful speakers in the country, à tribune in the true sense of the term.His speech \u2018made a good impres- ston, and gained for him the admiration of both sides of the House.He dissected Sir L.Tilley\u2019s Budget with the most scrupulous exactness and consummate ability.Mr.Paterson tempgred that captivating passion whichjmade him a power upon the hustings, and proved that he had in him the stpff of a true statesman.| His vehemence was restrained within the limits which so serious a subject as the Budget demands.The tribune did not thunder in the ears of Mr.Tilley.He simply posed the facts with force and vigor, always appearing mpster of his subject.1, Paterson w young, forty-two years of age.Upon the Treasury benches he would be a valuable wan for a Liberal administration.Mr.Paterson entered the House of Commons in 1872, defeating Siv Franeis Hincks.His victory was astonishing, for all that was known of him was that he was a master confectioner.The first time he spoke astorishment vanished, he was proclaimed a man of the people, and it was understood that a man of his talent might expect a fine future in polities.In private ife Mr.Paterson is a type of the perfect gentleman and good companion.eisa charming conversationalist, a man of refinement, who has à great many friends.He is the Finance Minister of the Opposition, and he will worthily replaée Mr.Cartwright.\u201d - 4 HABITAN® \u201d\" encloses the followiug:\u2014 \u201cMr.Vennor\u2019s ¢ Weather Bulletin\u2019 for March, in a neat pink cover, 8 at hand.\u2018His big storms for March are:\u2014 * * * The week commencing {unday, the 25th, will be full- of storm, Wind, enow, sleet and rain, according to locality.On the 27th, very stormy m Maritime Provinces and particularly in Newfoundland, where the snow fall will be very heavy, obstructing all travel.The 30th and 31st are ain dates of storm, and either ome of these or the Sth is likely to give the great storm of the ponth > lis own observations are :\u2014\u201c March 25th, fine;

while the taste, finish, delicacy and grace, which mark her playing, could not well be surpassed.It has been my pleasure to hear all the greatest pianists of Europe and America, and in my opinion Madame Carreno holds a prominent place in the first rank.Many critics contend that no woman can have the same power over the piano as a man.Madame Carreno destroys this co-intention.The power she displays could not be surpassed by any player, man or woman, while the delicacy of her touch and the poetry of her style are wonderful in their perfection and beauty.] CANADIAN.Montreal, April 2, 1883.Tue Hanlons, a (quartett@ of speaking pantomimists.WEATHER REPORT.MoNTREAL, April 2.Temperature iu the shade by Standard Thermometer, observed by Hearn, Harrison & Co., opticians and mathematical instrument makers, 242 and 244 Notre Dame Street: 8 a.m., 24° j_ 1 p.m, 32°;

Much fredit Claimed.Mr.PATERSON (Brant) admitted that while we had increased the expenditures upon our railways and canals we had derived augmented revenue therefrom, and continned :\u2014While I admit the hon, Finance Minister has a right to make ex- lanations as to the increase in various irections, he will not forget that the same state of things prevailed under the Mackenzie Administration\u2014that if there is an increased expenditure and an increased revenue now, there was an increased revenue following an increased expenditure then.While the present Government were in power seven years prior to the Mackenzie Administration, they justified the charge that we have to make upon this occasion upon them\u2014that they increased at an enormous rate the public expenditure; that in their seven years they ran it up from $13,000,000 to $23,000,000; that they ran the controllable expenditure from $3,000, 000 to $8,000,000.Then they were succeeded by an Administration, who, for five years, conducted the affairs of this country, and I propose now to look at the record of that Government and to compare it, not with the record of this Government in the seven years preceding, for that is past and gone, but to compare it with the record of this Government for the five years that have succeeded the period, taking the e=tj- mates for the coming year, 1883-84.When THE MACKENZIE ADMINISTRATION came into power the expenditure was $23,316,316.They remained in power tive vears, and when they went out of power it had increased to $24,455,381, or an increase of $1,139,065 during the five years.Now, gin we are taking the estimates that have ir placed upon the table: for.the ye 1883-84, and what do they show ?\"Siw; an increase of a little over $1,000,000 as the Mackenzie Adéninisträtion showed ?No, Sir, but an increase of $5,794,619.Looking at the facts we can readily understand how desirable it was on the part of the Hoh.Finance Minister, that he should attempt sume explanation to account for this rapid increase.The expenditure when these gentlemen who denounced the Mackenzie Administration for their extra- vagand® went out of power,was $24,455,381; todays by the estimates placed upon the table of the House, the Hon.Finance Minister asks us to give him $30,250,000 to carry on the affairs of the country.When the hon.member for East York took possession of the Government he fonnd the controllable expenditure was $8,324,076.He a ministered the public aflairs for five years, and when he left office he left the controllable expenditure at R6,941,577.Instead of increasing, he succeeded in decreasing it by §1 38% 499.But, Sir, what is the record of the hon.gentlemen opposite with reference to gan- trollable expenditure?Taking their expenditure for a like veriod of five years, including their estimates for 1883-84, what do we find?When they came into office the controllable expenditure was $6,491, 577; they ask us this year to give them $10.073,015 ; in oth@y words, in their five years, instead of deCreasing it, as the Macenzie Administration did nearly $1,500,- 000, they have increased it $3,131,438.In all the departments of the Government there is a very greatly INCREASED EXPENDITURE.I think that the next point 4lluded to was the result of the working of the Tariff as between Great Britain aud the United States; and the Financ& Minister took credit to himself, that the position which he had taken was fully justified by the returns ; and that the position taken by hon.gentlemen on this side of the House was not borne out by the facts.With an ingenuity that rather characterises him, he took certain years which made out apparently\u2019 a casé for himself; but I would ask him to take the bearing of the trade.be tween Great Britain and the United States as it now exists.Why did not the hon.gentleman make a comparison in this respect between the years 1881 and 1852, years just following each year.Let us.not go back five or six years to see whether the Tariff works as he represents.What are the facts with reference to these two Yodrs ?Have the imports from Great Britain incréased in greater ratio than the impotts from thé United States?No; but quite the reverse.What are the figures furnished by the Mipister of Customs.In 1832 there eutered into CONSUMPTION OF IMPORTS.fromm Great Britain, $50,597,341 worth; and, in 1881, the imports from the same country amounted in value tp $43,583,308; or we had an increase in the imports from Great Britain of goods entering into consumption in the year 1882, over the year 1881, of $7,014,533.Well, then, we had entered for consumption, in imports from Uinted States in the year 1882, $48,289,052 worth; and, in 1881, we had fao 1.them but $36,704,112 worth; or we had an increase, in the imports from the United States, in 1882 over 1881, of $11,584,940 against au increase in impôrts from Great Britain of $7,014,533; and yet the hon, Finance Minister thinks that his position is borne out by the facts, and that the operation of the tariff is such that the imports from Great Britain have increaged, while the imports from, the United States have decreased.Well, Sir, with reference to the duties paid on these goods, what are the facts?With regard to the $50,000,000 and over imported from Great Britain in 1882, we collected a duty of $10,011,811, which is as near as may be 20 per cent.; and, in 1881, on $43,583,808 of imports from that country, the duty collected amounted to $3,772,949, or the same average duty of 20 per cent.Now, what was the amount of the duty collected on the goods imported from the United States?Ou the: $48,289,052 worth of goods imported from the United States In 1882, the duty collected was $7,082,722, or only 15 pericent., as against 20 per cent.on British 8 Sir LEONARD TILLEY .\u2014 Hear, hear.Mr.PATERSON\u2014 Yes ; The bon.Finance Minister says, \u2018 hear, hear,\u201d but he will not deny that I have stated the figures correctly.Sis LEONARD TILLEY.\u2014Yes ; but ine fact is misleading, Mr.Speaker, because he required to look at the rate of duty collected in 1878 in order to reach a dircet conclusion as to the effect of the Tariff.Mr.PATERSON.I have nodoubt, Mr.Speaker, that the conclusion is very mis leading if applied to the conclusions drawn by the Finance Minister ; but it is \u2018 ANVTHING BUT MISLEADING when applied to the point which I am ._ TJ have shown, think, thatthe duty paid on British imports exceeded 20 per cent.in the years 1821 and 1882, while the duty on the United States imports in each case was 15 per cent.; and I puinted tt that from the year 18381 to 1882 the imports from Great Britain increased but 37,000,006.while the importe durine the same period from the United States increased over 311,000,000.Therefore the figures effectually disprove the posit.on taken hy the hon.Finance Minister, an: hear, hear: | fully establish what was contended for by hon.gentlemen on this side of the House.I do not attach, and never did attach, as much importance to the question of the imports from Great Britain and the United States respectively, that some hon.gentle- wen have attached to it.In inatters of trade there is very little sentiment; and while we are willing to give what advantages we might fairly accord to Great Britain, we also recognize that while she is one of our great - customers, while we like to interchange our commodities with her, we should never lose siglit of the fact that the great Republic to the south of us, is a nation against which we should not stir up feelings of strife.When I find them taking $40,000,600 worth of our products, and giving us gold, or what is equivalent to gold in return, I value their trade as 1 value the trade of any other country.The next point touched upon by the hon.Finance Minister was one with regard to which I contess I felt a little sympathy for him ; that subject is known by the name of THE BALANCE OF TRADE.That was a subject upon which we have had very strong arguments from the hon.Finance Minister.The Minister of Customs in the year 1880, when the hon.gentleman succeeded for one year in reducing the imports below the exports, placed, or caused to be placed, in the Report of the Commissioner of Customs, in the preface to the Trade and Navigation Returns, in a position very tonspicious, the statëthent that at last they had equalized the imports with the exports, and, therefore, that prosperity had dawned upon the coun- tryd fWhen I made à motion in the House with reference to another subject, the Mint ister of Customs, said, that all it wad ne cessary to do in answer to my argument was to peint me to the fact thdt the Commissioner had stated that we had equalized the imports and the exports: Néxtfedr the balance of tradd was $7,000,000 against us.The Commissioner of Customs alludes to that fact ik a very gin erly manner in the preface to the Returns.Ne: year the balance of trade against us had swollen to $17,000,000, but the Commissioner of Customs forgot to report that fact altogether.The Finance Minister, in speaking at the grand Conservative Convention, in Toronto, on 24th November, 1881, is reported to have used language which I shall quote from the Mail newspaper; a newspaper that

people cannot understand the theory that ortable Electric Light Company was recently incorporated, with a capital of $100,000, under the laws of Massachusetts.The usefulness of the apparatus and the low price (5) will no doubt result in its seaeral adoption.Some ot the prominent Business men of the State are identified with this enterprise.In addition to its use ax a lighter, the apparatus can also be used in connection with a burglar alarm and galvanic battery.\u2014 Boston Transcript, Dee.30.BRIGHT'S DISEASE.DIABETES, KIDNEY, LIVER OR URINARY DISEASES.Have uo fear of any of these disease

CONCLUDES ITS LABOURS.The members vf the Royal Commission, appointed by the Government to enquire intq, the radministration of the School Commissioners of Montreal, held another meeting last evening at the Plateau Academy, St.Catherine street.Mr.L.H.Davidson acted as Chairman, and the other members of the Commission present were Messrs.Chas.Glackmeyer, C.J.Doherty and A.DeMartigny.Mr.1.first witness examined, and stated that he considered the property of the Plateau Academy, belonging to the Board, and facing on Ontario street, worth $1 per foot at each corner and 65 cents elsewhere.The property on St.Catherine street he considered worth about 65 cents per foot and the average value of the whole property about 60 cents per foot.The extensive property on Fullum street, owned by the Board and purchased by them for five cents per foot, he considered worth at least 20 to 25 cents.Witness had, had a large experience in real estate in Montreal and was thoroughly conversant with the value of property In every street.SM bile Rev Cure Lesage, of Chambly, was the next witness, and testified that whilst he was prepared to admit the very high merits of the Brothers, he considered that there would be certain serious inconveniences in vesting them with the control of primary education, because their Superior, their rules, etc., came to them from France, and to a foreign country they had to appeal when any difficulty arose.This he considered as opposed to the natural character of educational.control, and detrimental to Canadians.Joseph Caron, carpenter, testified that the work done at the Plateau Academy was superior to that executed on any other of the schools, although in all cases first class work was bargained for.The evidence was then declared closed, and the Commission adjourned.Argument will be heard on Friday next, the 6th inst, \u201cTHE BEST SOCIETY.\u201d LECTURE BY MISS EMILY FAITHFULL.The Synod Hall was well fille] last evening on the occasion livered by Miss Emily Faithfull, the eminent English Philanthropist, in aid of the Mackay Institute.Miss Faithfull was not unknown to Montrealers.Her name has almost becoine a household word where ever the English language is spoken.The youngest daughter of the late Rev.Ferdinand Faichfull, she was vorn at Headley Rectory, Surrey, in 1835, and eduçated at a school at Kensington, where she showed that singular firmness and independence which have since characterized her.She was presented at Court, and entered for a time into the gaietics of Loudon life, but becoming interested in the condition of women, devoted herself to the extension ef their remunerative spheres of labour.In 1860 she collected a band of female compositors, and founded a typographical establishment, in which women (as compositors) were employed, and for which she obtained the approval of Her Majesty.In May, 1863, Miss Faithfull commenced \u201cThe Victoria Magazine,\u201d in which the views she seeks to advocate are set forth.In the spring of 1869, she published a novel, which was received with great favour by the Press as ¢ abounding in clever nie- tures of social life of the higher class.\u201d Shortly after this Mies Faithfull made her debut at Hanover Square Rooms as a lce- turer.She has achieved à marked success in this capacity, and frequently lectured in leading literary and philosophical institutions.In 1872 and 1873 Miss Faithfull visited the United States, and received the most unique reception in Steinway Hall ever accorded to a woman.Summoned by those who had distinguished theniselves in literature, art, science and industry, it was responded to by the very creme de la creme of the best society of New York, with whom were mixed a large re presentation of the working women, eager to honour this practical, warm-hearted Englishwoman.No wonder, then, that last eveni g Miss Faithfull received a warin and hearty welcome in Synod Hall.Very Rev.Dean Baldwin occupied the chair, and there was also upon the latform Rev.J.Edgar Hall, St.Andrew\u2019s Church, Rev.Dr.Stevenson and Mr.E.K.Greene.Miss Faithful having been introduced by the Chairman with a few appropriate remarks, announced her subject as The Best Society\u2014Our Book Shelf,\u201d and entered into an able discourse oa the standard English authors in whom she eaid there was a hidden treasureof the greatest value to be found to anyone who would take the trouble to search.She spoke of the great works in English literature, and illustrated her remarks by selections from the standard authors.The lecture was delivered in a most interesting and able manner, and was listened to with the deepest attention.At the conclusion on the motion of the Rev.Dr.Stevenson, seconded by Rev.Mr.Hill, aa unanimous vote of thanks was returned to Miss Faithful for her interesting discourse.ST.PATRICK'S SOCIETY.AMNUAL MEETING.The annual meeting of the St.Patrick\u2019s Society was held

all they could offer in return was that it should be their earnest endeavour to make their decds worthy of the great principles they had been taught.He expressed the regret which the graduates felt in parting from the students of other yearg and urged the latter to maintiin the esprit de corps which has so long existed among the whole body of students.He especially urged them to maintain the old institutions of the faculty, the drive, the moat court and the dinner, for these constitutel, as it were, à fountayn from which would ever flow streams of good fellowship, friendship and mutual trust.The valedictorian next alluded to a few af the salient beau ties and majestic principles of the law and the consequent sacredness of the lawyer\u2019s mission as one entrusted to be its faithful exponent, and alluded to the duties of an advocate.It should be their duty at the outset to acquire a just conception of the importance and dignity of the advocates\u2019 mission, so that it would not be debased by alow and narrow estimate of its requirements and duties ; and that it will not be made the means of advancing self-agorandizement and sordid ends, remembering that its true interests-are so much identified with those of the conununity shat be, why, by his exertions and example, contributes to advance the one, is at the same time serving the other, and that he who tries to do so honestly, however feeble be his effort, will elicit the approval and encoyragement of honest men ; and his cons ienge, above all, will ratify that approval.They should not regard it as a mere pursuit of pleasure, bit as the road that leads to the brightest rewards of human ambition, They should entertain a just reverence for its precepts, as it teaches us to build our reputations upon the soundest morals and deepest principles, an.the most exalted ideas of purity of life and character.If every lawyer were to embrace the profession with such ideas of its importance and dignity, it would be spared the many indignities to which it has been made subject by the sneers of the ignorant, and the gibes of the witty, who endeavour to cast the odium of the mis-deeds of some, and the frailties of others, on the whole fraternity.Such logic would have no weight with the just and refined.It would make the true lawyer\u2019s character shine with an undiminished brightness, when it is constrasted with that of the unworthy who, false to the creeds of his order, has lowered its dignity, and demeaned its precepts.The valedictorian in concluding said: \u201c Our Alma Mater ean now proudly boast of many of her worthy sons, who, as practitioners, have risen to the highest eminence in the profession, and who worthily wear the ermine of the Bench; of others who have stood at the helm of State, and who have adorned the Senate by their presence.Let this thought enkindle within us, an ambition to rise to a like eminence,\u2019 so that Old McGill will ever be proud of her sons.\u201d THE DEAN\u2019S ADDRESS.Prof.W.H.Kerr, Q.C., Dean of the Faculty, in addressing the gewly conferred J students said :\u2014 Mr.Chairman, gentlemen of convocation and graduates inlay: On many previous Occasions the Professors in my sition today in addressing former graduates in law of this University, have spoken to future judges and ghief justices.Let us hope that the same fate awaits those now before us (applause).It isa difficult thing in addressing students year after year, not to be guilty of sameness, and very difficult indeed to render your remarks interesting to the general ublic.The object of my remarks to-day would be to direct, your earnest attention to the greatméss ofâthe subject you have undertaken to administer during your practice.Law, as u are aware, is divided into two great ranches, international and municipal law, the former regulating the relations of different states, the latter regulating the relations of cities or portions Qf these states.The subject so lal before you is one of the greatest mportance.The safety of life and property depends upon proper law and its proper administration.[Applause.] Without both, liberty is a mockery and a sound.It becomes the duty, therefore, of every member of society, and your duty especially as members of the Bar, to strive for these two great objects\u2014the securing of the passage of good laws in this Province and Dominion, and to secure its proper and pure administration.[Applause.] Lawyers, as is well known, have {always been found foremost in all great struggles for liberty.[Applause.) Law has had its martyrs striving, in the frent rank of eivilization, for liberty and right, Of old the sword was more reverenced than any of the organs of other professions, but gradually thetinfluence of intellect began to be felt.But in these days of ours a third power has arisen | which eclipses all the rest and to which all, men fall down in reverence-I mean Mammon.(Laughter.) Money seems now to be the universal god, and the intellectual professions are neglected.In the Province of Quebee, the Bar does nog occupy he popit n ta which it is entitled.° (Applau 1\u20ac should, therefore, be one of your principal aims to work zealously in future, so as to secure for the Bar, of which you are a member, its | proper position.Your valedictorian has just now expressed very well the duty of a lawyer.His main object should not be to make money, \u20ac but to see justice done and to aet honourably and justly towards his clients.{Applause.) Act 80 and I assure yan that you will reap your ,reward, Yor in no other profession does The ald saying hold truer that '* Honesty is the best poli\u20acy.\u201d (Applause.We, in this country, have had for some years a cancer eating into our law\u2014the curse of society in this country that is, politics.(Applause).Not only am I sorry Lo say is it eating into and 1mpairing our laws, but it is the direct cause of many other evils ; the Bench itselfis being pros\u2018ituted in erder that political partisans may be placed in positions to administer law, men no more fitted by nature or education to administer law than to be archbishops of dioceses.(Laughter and applause.) Solong as such a state of things continue the liberties of no one will be safe, and it becomes our bounden duty to solemnly protest.(Applause) No country can be prosperons where the laws are not good and their administration pure and perfect.(Continued applause.) On all occasions when I am called upon to address graduates in law a sense of melancholy comes upon me.When I entered the profession a, number of years ago things were much différ- ent from what they are now ; there were few leaftures, and for exan.inations we were generally asked a very few questions y the judges, it generally happening however, that we knew what the questions would be several days before they were asked, so that our answers weré genérally very satisfactory.(Laughter and applagse.) But things have now greatly changed.In former times graauates in law generally knew very little of their profession.Of the graduates now, however, I can personally testify that\u2019 for the future is good.Comparing the interesting lecture delivered by our Vice- Chancellor a few days ago with the one of the Tar betore, it is seen that iu the year past the niversity has received many liberal, indeed noble, gifts.I would not create envy, and 1 believe that I wiil create none, though mentioning that I have more particularly In mind those of W.C.AMucTymall, who is still among n+, und of the late Hiram Mills, David J.Gre-nshlelds, and Mrs.Stuart, ave Gale.Allbf these have received mention in the Vice-Chancellor\u2019s last lecture; yet on this Occasion, in the hearing of many who may not have boen present at that lecture, they may appropriately be again alluded to, Moreover, Mra.Stuart's legacy is dedicated specially to the law school, the friends of which constitute more particularly to-duy\u2019s assembly.The names of such benefactors deserve to be honoured and to be preserved in our memor- iesand in those of our successors.It is piea- sant to witness the rich acknowledging to have otherduty upon them than merely to pay their servants their w niu es and to indulge xuries.Truly, if they ad not such duty, our institutions of learning and art, our hos- |.pitals, our widows and orphans, the deaf and dumb, the paralytic and blind, would fare badiy,and aLazarus might be unrelieved atany rich man\u2019s or woman's gate.Passing from this to our present condition, I have to state that notwithstanding the gifts we have received, the requirements of the University call for more.aterial wants, stated in the Vice-Chancellor\u2019s lecture of a year ago, continue to be wants to this day, for instance, we want *a boarding and lodging house for students, with proper dining hall and recreation room.Let us hope that as the past year has been prosperous the next one may also be.Saturday was given up to the Medical School, and, with reference to it, I may be permitted to observe that if the oh aracter of medigal education throughout our country has been raised in the last twenty years, as undoubtedly it has been, it is owing in great measure to the teaching by this Medical School, whose eleves are to be found in every part of the Dominion.To-day we have been conferring degrees upon the graduates in law, and I would say to those who have gotten dêgrees: Be grateful for the instruction that you have received and for the degrees that the Universily has conferred upon you.You are about to enter upon the practice of a mest honourable profession.In the course of your career great responsibilities will at times fall upon you.Strive to perform your duties with zeal, independen ce and conscientiousness.Help ap-.ressed, the weak, the poor.Do not ook upon the practice of your profession as a mere money making business ; it cannot be practised honourably, simply for money gain ; needless to say that those who practise dishonourably insull and degrade the profession.All are sure to be observed, nd the dishonouring members to be despised, while the faithful will not fail in the long run ly and hungrily for this reward.n the pro- ssions, whether of Law or Medecine, no young men have a right tocommand success suddenly.All must spend some years of waiting or probation.These ought to be years of steady study.1 would\u201d say to the young men before me (as Dupin said on a like occasion), it is a great error to suppose that you issue from the school of law with all the knowledge necessary for the practice of the profession.You have an immense deal to learn yet.We have a civil code, and some believe, stupidly, that they are lawyers because they have read and re-read it.You may Know the code to recite it like a catachism, and yet not be a jurisconsult.Noman can be this without a knowledge of principles, and to get this he must resort to the sources and study history, and philosophy.These sources are the Roman law and the old authors.\u2018Phe former is universally recognized as a perfectly inexhaustible source of reason and.doe- trine, and the latter must be studied and with method just as much as if we had no code, No eode ean provide for all cases.Dupin would have students go back to Dumotlin, Who is called by him \u2018\u2018 le plus grand de tous les anciens jurisconsultes Français.\u201d For my part I would say that the bar will fall off when such authors as Dourat, Ricard, Rennyson, Bourjon, Loysean, and Pothier \u2018ease to be regarded and studied.Pothier is very precious,and his work cannot fall into desuetude.Let me advise you to read over and over, again and again, all his leading works.Time fails for much that I could add upon such topie; but I must conclude by saying to you, as also to those of the Medical profession, who have taken degrees at this convocation that you have the best wishes of all connected with the University for success in your new sphere of life.(Applause).The degree of D.C.L.in course was then conferred upon Mr.D.G.Gauthier, B.C.L., of Sorel, Prof.W.C.Baynes administering the usual oath.The degree of M.D., was also administered upon Mr.Macdonald.who had been absent from the medical convocation on Saturday, Dr.Ox=ler agmiinistering the usual oath and Präncipat Dawson performing the ceremony of\u201c capping.\u201d he proceedings were then brought to a close by the Rev.I}.Cornish, prenquncing the Benediction.1h pe PASSE Vexxbd Prédicté April wil Be waringr than March.It matters not how cold it is;

while now, at the end of the session, the position is infinitely worse, and fraught with threatenings of disaster.To congratulate Parliament on the success of its labors under such painful circumstances is the bittercs} of irony; and to thank it for the \u201c cheerfulness\u201d with which it voted the supplies reads like an intended, though uncalled-for joke.We need not go beyond the statements made by Mr.Mousseau \u2018and his colleagues themselves.for proof of the fact that the financial.affairs of the Provinoe were never in such a wretched state as they are in now.After taxing everything it is possible to tax; after borrowing all they can borrow, and after mixing up the accounts in the most mysterious way, they ave still compelled to admit that they cannot make both ends meet.We will venture to say that if Mr.Wurtele were called upon to-day to furnish a clear, business-like statement of the actual position of affairs he would not be able to do so.Everything appears to be in a perfect muddle.Only afew days ago the Pre.ier admitted on the floor cf the House that he did not understand the position, that he : wag in ac-.tuat\u2019 igxorknce of Iris surtoundings: and he sought to avoid the responsibility hy throwing the blame on Mr.Chapleau, who, of course, was not there to defend himself.In the whole history of responsible govermment in this country there never was a man at the head of affairs who displayed less capacity, less energy, or less power in the management of men than Mr.Mousseau has shown since he stepped into Mr.Chapleau\u2019s cast-off slippers.We do not for a moment question his integrity.He was simply pitch-forked into a position which is too great for him.Wnt of capacity is not his fault \u2014N\u2018uure is answerable for that.What Mr.Chapleau could not do, it is not surprising that Mr.Mousseau has failed to accomplish.But be his weakness or his strength what it may, the Provice, unfortunatoly, is the sufferer.His incapacity or his want \u2018of knowledge uf local affairs\u2014it matters little \u2018stand or fall by it.wie patient and obedient Creatures ag a rule\u2014\u2014Dbroke away from his leadership aud insisted on framing for him his policy and his programme.A man of independent spirit and force of character would not have submitted for one moment to such dictation.He would have told them plumply and plainly, that, as head of the Government he, assisted by his celleagues, would lay down his own policy and But, instead of dojng s0, he bowed in humble submission before them, practically surrendered his functions, and actually so far humiliated himself as to say that the Government was but a committee of Parliament, bound to obey the wishes of the majority.Thus, during the rest of the session, the Government supporters in caucus assembled told the Government what to do and what not to do, and the Government obeyed them in all things.The original estimates were a muddle; they were held over for further tinkering, and again they were muddled ; and in the end they were submitted in a most irregular, if not an unconstitutional way.The idea of the Lieut.-Governor communicating officially with Parlisment, an à subject of the first importance, by means of a telegram, is sufficiently absurd to be worthy of a place in the next .burlesque by Sullivan and Gilbert.The blunders of the Gevernment would, indeed, be fit subject for merriment, were it not for the serious results that must follow.Not only has there been no reduction in the burdens that already press so heavily upon the people, but the weight of taxation has actually been increased, and our enormous debt has been swelled by another addition of no mean proportions.The future has been discounted, though the prospects of meeting our liabilities are as misty as ever.Our expenses largely overlap our income.There is no prospect of retrenchment ; no hope of economy.The Government do not attempt to conceal their poverty ; but, on the contrary, proclaim it aloud, by imploring \u2018tne Doininion authorities to throw them a crust.In the face of these facts, and with the pitiable record of the late every thinking man, no\u2019 ma'ter what his political, leanings may be, that there is absolutely no hope for the Provinge of Quebec while Mr.Moue seau 4nd his colleagues remain in power.In the present crisis, which is becoming mone serious day by day, we want at the head of our affairs the very best men we can find.Men of thorough business habits, clear-headed and conpetent ; and men who will place the, country get and serve it firm, whether their ®tonducs suits the ends of party or not.It is almost criminal to continue in our present career of debi-oreating extravagance.Were we living in the expectation of finding a gold mine on every farm in the Province we would hardly be justified in heaping loan upon lean in this reckless way, We are wildly, though pot blindly, forour eyesare wide open, pursuing a course similar to that which forced the State of Tennessee to repudiate one-half of her debt a few weeks ago.\"The folly and extravagance of the Government are as certainly forcing us beyond our power to pay as that the sun shines in the heavens.\u201d Already our fair Province is disgraced ; a few steps more and to that disgrace will be added dishonour.If there be any remnant of patriotism country face to face with ruin, let them confess their incapgeity and help- lessnoss, and the Prowince may be saved by others before it be too late.THE CAUSE OF THE RELAY.- gpa Lem The other day in speaking of the backwardness of the Government in bringing dewa the Kstimates fot the year, we suggested that the delay was probably owing to the actien of the United States Congress in making sundry alterations in the American tariff, as wall as to the absence of many members of the House during the Ontario dlection contest.In making this suggestion we were so unfortunate as to disturb the peace of mind of our conten.porary, the Gazette, and to ruffle the order of its plumage.asked what the members of the House had to do with the matter, and in What way the action of the American Congress could possibly effect the finances of Canada.Now, the opinion of our astute contemporary to the contrary netwithstanding, we fancy that it is no uncommon thing for the Minister, of Finance to consult members of the House id preparing his estimates.There is a very large sum of money in the statement now before Parliament for public works and buildings in different parts of the country.Will the Gazette say that the members from the localities.-reépectively interested never heard of the items until the estimafes were laid on the table ?Did the Minister, without consulting them, prepare those figures?Nay more, is it not his custom to sound publit opiniop, as $fpraseod through the recognized Reprébentatives of he many interests and cldsses, before he completes his work ?Even the Gazette, we fancy, -will: not deny this As to our suggestion that the delay was partially occasioned by the action of the American | Congress, we cannot do better than quote Sir Leonard Tilley\u2019s own words.In his opening remarks on Friday aftor- noon he said \u2014\u201cUnder these circumstances il became necessary that we should wait until we saw what the nature of the legislation of the United States, with reference to the customs and excise revenue, had been before we were prepared to submit to Partiament our propositions.\u201d Yt may be said that this applies only to revenue, but as the expenditure must be con- likely to be.session before us, it must be plain to- left in the men who have brought the We were.Under any circumstances he admits that the action of the United States Congress did, in part, occasion the delay.THE proposed visit of the British Assuciation to Canada next year 1s attracting considerabie attention on the other side of the Atlantic, Sir Alexander Galt having recently published in the London Times a letter describing the arrangements contemplated in this city.That paper holds that the visit is inexpedient, but agrees \u2018that it is now too \u2018late to cancel the engagement.The Times therefore hopes that the members who desired to decline the Canadian invitation, now that it has been accepted, will cheerfully fall in with the determination of the majority and not allow their own feelings to prejudice the success of the excursion.We are glad to be able to believe that the visit to Montreal has been fixed upon, assured that it will be advantageous and pleasurable fer all parties.The majority of the members of the Association know that there is such a country as Canada, that it is a British possession, and that within it are to be found localities upon which intending emigrants can satisfactorily establish themselyes.Some of them have an idea of the geology and topography of the Dominion, but otherwise we are as great strangers to them as if we lived ai the ends of the earth.Doubtless some of them are prepared to plume themselves on the fact that we are British subjects, but the tendency with them is to look down on us, because, forsooth, we are only colonists.It is for their benefit as we as ours that we should know each other better ; and visits like the one contemplated are in every way calculated to promote a more satisfactory mutual understanding.There isan excellent field here for the employment of the brains and the resources of some of the members of the Association, while it is in the power of many of them to direct to this country the class of labour that we require.eam \u201cLa PATRIE,\u201d in speaking of Mr.Patersan, whose criticism of Sir Leonard Tilley\u2019s financial statement we publish elsewhere, says:\u2014\u201c Mr, Paterson, the new critic of, the Left, is well known among the \u2018Liberals of the West.He ig one of the most powerful speakers in the country, à tribune in the true sense of the term.His speech \u2018made a good impres- ston, and gained for him the admiration of both sides of the House.He dissected Sir L.Tilley\u2019s Budget with the most scrupulous exactness and consummate ability.Mr.Paterson tempgred that captivating passion whichjmade him a power upon the hustings, and proved that he had in him the stpff of a true statesman.| His vehemence was restrained within the limits which so serious a subject as the Budget demands.The tribune did not thunder in the ears of Mr.Tilley.He simply posed the facts with force and vigor, always appearing mpster of his subject.1, Paterson w young, forty-two years of age.Upon the Treasury benches he would be a valuable wan for a Liberal administration.Mr.Paterson entered the House of Commons in 1872, defeating Siv Franeis Hincks.His victory was astonishing, for all that was known of him was that he was a master confectioner.The first time he spoke astorishment vanished, he was proclaimed a man of the people, and it was understood that a man of his talent might expect a fine future in polities.In private ife Mr.Paterson is a type of the perfect gentleman and good companion.eisa charming conversationalist, a man of refinement, who has à great many friends.He is the Finance Minister of the Opposition, and he will worthily replaée Mr.Cartwright.\u201d - 4 HABITAN® \u201d\" encloses the followiug:\u2014 \u201cMr.Vennor\u2019s ¢ Weather Bulletin\u2019 for March, in a neat pink cover, 8 at hand.\u2018His big storms for March are:\u2014 * * * The week commencing {unday, the 25th, will be full- of storm, Wind, enow, sleet and rain, according to locality.On the 27th, very stormy m Maritime Provinces and particularly in Newfoundland, where the snow fall will be very heavy, obstructing all travel.The 30th and 31st are ain dates of storm, and either ome of these or the Sth is likely to give the great storm of the ponth > lis own observations are :\u2014\u201c March 25th, fine;

while the taste, finish, delicacy and grace, which mark her playing, could not well be surpassed.It has been my pleasure to hear all the greatest pianists of Europe and America, and in my opinion Madame Carreno holds a prominent place in the first rank.Many critics contend that no woman can have the same power over the piano as a man.Madame Carreno destroys this co-intention.The power she displays could not be surpassed by any player, man or woman, while the delicacy of her touch and the poetry of her style are wonderful in their perfection and beauty.] CANADIAN.Montreal, April 2, 1883.Tue Hanlons, a (quartett@ of speaking pantomimists.WEATHER REPORT.MoNTREAL, April 2.Temperature iu the shade by Standard Thermometer, observed by Hearn, Harrison & Co., opticians and mathematical instrument makers, 242 and 244 Notre Dame Street: 8 a.m., 24° j_ 1 p.m, 32°;

Much fredit Claimed.Mr.PATERSON (Brant) admitted that while we had increased the expenditures upon our railways and canals we had derived augmented revenue therefrom, and continned :\u2014While I admit the hon, Finance Minister has a right to make ex- lanations as to the increase in various irections, he will not forget that the same state of things prevailed under the Mackenzie Administration\u2014that if there is an increased expenditure and an increased revenue now, there was an increased revenue following an increased expenditure then.While the present Government were in power seven years prior to the Mackenzie Administration, they justified the charge that we have to make upon this occasion upon them\u2014that they increased at an enormous rate the public expenditure; that in their seven years they ran it up from $13,000,000 to $23,000,000; that they ran the controllable expenditure from $3,000, 000 to $8,000,000.Then they were succeeded by an Administration, who, for five years, conducted the affairs of this country, and I propose now to look at the record of that Government and to compare it, not with the record of this Government in the seven years preceding, for that is past and gone, but to compare it with the record of this Government for the five years that have succeeded the period, taking the e=tj- mates for the coming year, 1883-84.When THE MACKENZIE ADMINISTRATION came into power the expenditure was $23,316,316.They remained in power tive vears, and when they went out of power it had increased to $24,455,381, or an increase of $1,139,065 during the five years.Now, gin we are taking the estimates that have ir placed upon the table: for.the ye 1883-84, and what do they show ?\"Siw; an increase of a little over $1,000,000 as the Mackenzie Adéninisträtion showed ?No, Sir, but an increase of $5,794,619.Looking at the facts we can readily understand how desirable it was on the part of the Hoh.Finance Minister, that he should attempt sume explanation to account for this rapid increase.The expenditure when these gentlemen who denounced the Mackenzie Administration for their extra- vagand® went out of power,was $24,455,381; todays by the estimates placed upon the table of the House, the Hon.Finance Minister asks us to give him $30,250,000 to carry on the affairs of the country.When the hon.member for East York took possession of the Government he fonnd the controllable expenditure was $8,324,076.He a ministered the public aflairs for five years, and when he left office he left the controllable expenditure at R6,941,577.Instead of increasing, he succeeded in decreasing it by §1 38% 499.But, Sir, what is the record of the hon.gentlemen opposite with reference to gan- trollable expenditure?Taking their expenditure for a like veriod of five years, including their estimates for 1883-84, what do we find?When they came into office the controllable expenditure was $6,491, 577; they ask us this year to give them $10.073,015 ; in oth@y words, in their five years, instead of deCreasing it, as the Macenzie Administration did nearly $1,500,- 000, they have increased it $3,131,438.In all the departments of the Government there is a very greatly INCREASED EXPENDITURE.I think that the next point 4lluded to was the result of the working of the Tariff as between Great Britain aud the United States; and the Financ& Minister took credit to himself, that the position which he had taken was fully justified by the returns ; and that the position taken by hon.gentlemen on this side of the House was not borne out by the facts.With an ingenuity that rather characterises him, he took certain years which made out apparently\u2019 a casé for himself; but I would ask him to take the bearing of the trade.be tween Great Britain and the United States as it now exists.Why did not the hon.gentleman make a comparison in this respect between the years 1881 and 1852, years just following each year.Let us.not go back five or six years to see whether the Tariff works as he represents.What are the facts with reference to these two Yodrs ?Have the imports from Great Britain incréased in greater ratio than the impotts from thé United States?No; but quite the reverse.What are the figures furnished by the Mipister of Customs.In 1832 there eutered into CONSUMPTION OF IMPORTS.fromm Great Britain, $50,597,341 worth; and, in 1881, the imports from the same country amounted in value tp $43,583,308; or we had an increase in the imports from Great Britain of goods entering into consumption in the year 1882, over the year 1881, of $7,014,533.Well, then, we had entered for consumption, in imports from Uinted States in the year 1882, $48,289,052 worth; and, in 1881, we had fao 1.them but $36,704,112 worth; or we had an increase, in the imports from the United States, in 1882 over 1881, of $11,584,940 against au increase in impôrts from Great Britain of $7,014,533; and yet the hon, Finance Minister thinks that his position is borne out by the facts, and that the operation of the tariff is such that the imports from Great Britain have increaged, while the imports from, the United States have decreased.Well, Sir, with reference to the duties paid on these goods, what are the facts?With regard to the $50,000,000 and over imported from Great Britain in 1882, we collected a duty of $10,011,811, which is as near as may be 20 per cent.; and, in 1881, on $43,583,808 of imports from that country, the duty collected amounted to $3,772,949, or the same average duty of 20 per cent.Now, what was the amount of the duty collected on the goods imported from the United States?Ou the: $48,289,052 worth of goods imported from the United States In 1882, the duty collected was $7,082,722, or only 15 pericent., as against 20 per cent.on British 8 Sir LEONARD TILLEY .\u2014 Hear, hear.Mr.PATERSON\u2014 Yes ; The bon.Finance Minister says, \u2018 hear, hear,\u201d but he will not deny that I have stated the figures correctly.Sis LEONARD TILLEY.\u2014Yes ; but ine fact is misleading, Mr.Speaker, because he required to look at the rate of duty collected in 1878 in order to reach a dircet conclusion as to the effect of the Tariff.Mr.PATERSON.I have nodoubt, Mr.Speaker, that the conclusion is very mis leading if applied to the conclusions drawn by the Finance Minister ; but it is \u2018 ANVTHING BUT MISLEADING when applied to the point which I am ._ TJ have shown, think, thatthe duty paid on British imports exceeded 20 per cent.in the years 1821 and 1882, while the duty on the United States imports in each case was 15 per cent.; and I puinted tt that from the year 18381 to 1882 the imports from Great Britain increased but 37,000,006.while the importe durine the same period from the United States increased over 311,000,000.Therefore the figures effectually disprove the posit.on taken hy the hon.Finance Minister, an: hear, hear: | fully establish what was contended for by hon.gentlemen on this side of the House.I do not attach, and never did attach, as much importance to the question of the imports from Great Britain and the United States respectively, that some hon.gentle- wen have attached to it.In inatters of trade there is very little sentiment; and while we are willing to give what advantages we might fairly accord to Great Britain, we also recognize that while she is one of our great - customers, while we like to interchange our commodities with her, we should never lose siglit of the fact that the great Republic to the south of us, is a nation against which we should not stir up feelings of strife.When I find them taking $40,000,600 worth of our products, and giving us gold, or what is equivalent to gold in return, I value their trade as 1 value the trade of any other country.The next point touched upon by the hon.Finance Minister was one with regard to which I contess I felt a little sympathy for him ; that subject is known by the name of THE BALANCE OF TRADE.That was a subject upon which we have had very strong arguments from the hon.Finance Minister.The Minister of Customs in the year 1880, when the hon.gentleman succeeded for one year in reducing the imports below the exports, placed, or caused to be placed, in the Report of the Commissioner of Customs, in the preface to the Trade and Navigation Returns, in a position very tonspicious, the statëthent that at last they had equalized the imports with the exports, and, therefore, that prosperity had dawned upon the coun- tryd fWhen I made à motion in the House with reference to another subject, the Mint ister of Customs, said, that all it wad ne cessary to do in answer to my argument was to peint me to the fact thdt the Commissioner had stated that we had equalized the imports and the exports: Néxtfedr the balance of tradd was $7,000,000 against us.The Commissioner of Customs alludes to that fact ik a very gin erly manner in the preface to the Returns.Ne: year the balance of trade against us had swollen to $17,000,000, but the Commissioner of Customs forgot to report that fact altogether.The Finance Minister, in speaking at the grand Conservative Convention, in Toronto, on 24th November, 1881, is reported to have used language which I shall quote from the Mail newspaper; a newspaper that gives a very correct report of hon.gentlemen opposite.THE HON.GENTLEMAN SAID : * During the last two years we have nearly equalized the exports with our imports.Whatever free traders may say our people cannot understand the theory that ortable Electric Light Company was recently incorporated, with a capital of $100,000, under the laws of Massachusetts.The usefulness of the apparatus and the low price (5) will no doubt result in its seaeral adoption.Some ot the prominent Business men of the State are identified with this enterprise.In addition to its use ax a lighter, the apparatus can also be used in connection with a burglar alarm and galvanic battery.\u2014 Boston Transcript, Dee.30.BRIGHT'S DISEASE.DIABETES, KIDNEY, LIVER OR URINARY DISEASES.Have uo fear of any of these disease

CONCLUDES ITS LABOURS.The members vf the Royal Commission, appointed by the Government to enquire intq, the radministration of the School Commissioners of Montreal, held another meeting last evening at the Plateau Academy, St.Catherine street.Mr.L.H.Davidson acted as Chairman, and the other members of the Commission present were Messrs.Chas.Glackmeyer, C.J.Doherty and A.DeMartigny.Mr.1.first witness examined, and stated that he considered the property of the Plateau Academy, belonging to the Board, and facing on Ontario street, worth $1 per foot at each corner and 65 cents elsewhere.The property on St.Catherine street he considered worth about 65 cents per foot and the average value of the whole property about 60 cents per foot.The extensive property on Fullum street, owned by the Board and purchased by them for five cents per foot, he considered worth at least 20 to 25 cents.Witness had, had a large experience in real estate in Montreal and was thoroughly conversant with the value of property In every street.SM bile Rev Cure Lesage, of Chambly, was the next witness, and testified that whilst he was prepared to admit the very high merits of the Brothers, he considered that there would be certain serious inconveniences in vesting them with the control of primary education, because their Superior, their rules, etc., came to them from France, and to a foreign country they had to appeal when any difficulty arose.This he considered as opposed to the natural character of educational.control, and detrimental to Canadians.Joseph Caron, carpenter, testified that the work done at the Plateau Academy was superior to that executed on any other of the schools, although in all cases first class work was bargained for.The evidence was then declared closed, and the Commission adjourned.Argument will be heard on Friday next, the 6th inst, \u201cTHE BEST SOCIETY.\u201d LECTURE BY MISS EMILY FAITHFULL.The Synod Hall was well fille] last evening on the occasion livered by Miss Emily Faithfull, the eminent English Philanthropist, in aid of the Mackay Institute.Miss Faithfull was not unknown to Montrealers.Her name has almost becoine a household word where ever the English language is spoken.The youngest daughter of the late Rev.Ferdinand Faichfull, she was vorn at Headley Rectory, Surrey, in 1835, and eduçated at a school at Kensington, where she showed that singular firmness and independence which have since characterized her.She was presented at Court, and entered for a time into the gaietics of Loudon life, but becoming interested in the condition of women, devoted herself to the extension ef their remunerative spheres of labour.In 1860 she collected a band of female compositors, and founded a typographical establishment, in which women (as compositors) were employed, and for which she obtained the approval of Her Majesty.In May, 1863, Miss Faithfull commenced \u201cThe Victoria Magazine,\u201d in which the views she seeks to advocate are set forth.In the spring of 1869, she published a novel, which was received with great favour by the Press as ¢ abounding in clever nie- tures of social life of the higher class.\u201d Shortly after this Mies Faithfull made her debut at Hanover Square Rooms as a lce- turer.She has achieved à marked success in this capacity, and frequently lectured in leading literary and philosophical institutions.In 1872 and 1873 Miss Faithfull visited the United States, and received the most unique reception in Steinway Hall ever accorded to a woman.Summoned by those who had distinguished theniselves in literature, art, science and industry, it was responded to by the very creme de la creme of the best society of New York, with whom were mixed a large re presentation of the working women, eager to honour this practical, warm-hearted Englishwoman.No wonder, then, that last eveni g Miss Faithfull received a warin and hearty welcome in Synod Hall.Very Rev.Dean Baldwin occupied the chair, and there was also upon the latform Rev.J.Edgar Hall, St.Andrew\u2019s Church, Rev.Dr.Stevenson and Mr.E.K.Greene.Miss Faithful having been introduced by the Chairman with a few appropriate remarks, announced her subject as The Best Society\u2014Our Book Shelf,\u201d and entered into an able discourse oa the standard English authors in whom she eaid there was a hidden treasureof the greatest value to be found to anyone who would take the trouble to search.She spoke of the great works in English literature, and illustrated her remarks by selections from the standard authors.The lecture was delivered in a most interesting and able manner, and was listened to with the deepest attention.At the conclusion on the motion of the Rev.Dr.Stevenson, seconded by Rev.Mr.Hill, aa unanimous vote of thanks was returned to Miss Faithful for her interesting discourse.ST.PATRICK'S SOCIETY.AMNUAL MEETING.The annual meeting of the St.Patrick\u2019s Society was held
