cattle of the Pampas are computed at 20,000,000.They are the descendants of a bull and eight cows which were brought there by two Portuguese brothers in 1553.It is only near Buenos Ayres that they are crossed with finer stock.The old herds are ill-shaped and ugly.\u2014According to the statement submitted to the creditors of the firm of L.Abrahams & Co., the total amount of the liabilities foots up to $31,000, direct $20,000 and indirect $11,000.The assets are placed at $12,000, and the deficiency is consequently $19,000.A composition of 10 cents cash in the dollar was offered by Mr.Abrahams and accepted by a majority of the creditors.\u2014The number of national banks organized in the United States in the six months ending May 1 was 132, with a capital of $14,958,000.Ten of these, having a capital of $1,005,000, are located in New York.Twelve were banks which allowed their charters to expire and reorganized.Twenty-three banks relinquished business.The increase in the capital of the national banks was $8,- 677,000, and the decrease in circulation $3,399,500.\u2014Telegraphic advices from a reliable firm at St.Johns, Newfoundland, report the second trips from the seal fishery a failure, and also the Gulf fishery.Already some six cargoes of seal oil have been sold for Great Britain and the continent at prices fully equal to 67} cents per gallon here, so that less than usual will likely come to this market.Even with the 20 per cent duty there is some enquiry for the United States.The past two years the Gulf fishing proved very sue- cessful, and in consequence this market was largely supplied with light straw seal oil.This season the supply from this source is likely to be comparatively small.\u2014The drought in California which threatened to ruin the wheat has come to an end.A San Francisco exchange says: \u2014\u201cInstead of the driest year, it proves to be the best distributed rain season for agricultural productions of all kinds.And the gloomy forebodings of ten days ago are replaced by brilliant prospects and vociferous rejoicing.The grangers, after careful inquest, estimate the lowest value of this prolonged spring rain\u2014covering and literally soaking the whole land\u2014at $30,000,000.This memorable rain-storm from the south in the first days of spring set in, after two months of drouth, on March 26, and continued, shower fashion, till the afternoon of April 3.\u201d \u2014The Economist says that notwithstanding the backwardness of the public to invest in mining stocks, the statement is borne out by the facts that more money has been made in dividends on mines, in roportion to their capitalization, than has been received from the railroads of the country.The mines have paid since 1879 more than 27 per cent.on their quoted value.Mr.H.B.Clifford says forty- two old dividend-paying mines, with a current value of $47,558,902, - have paid $12,529,836, and thirty new mines, valued at $24,165,750, have paid $7,465,309.One mine has paid 135 consecutive dividends, and thirteen have paid ever 20 each.The above authority gives the total market value of these mines at $71,- 724,652, and the total dividends paid at $134,614,976.On a total capitalization of about $3,000,000,000 for the railroads less fthan 34 per cent.has been paid.The Economist finds that, while there are many mines that never have and never will pay, the good ones, well managed in accordwith modern methods of mining, with yield handsome returns, OCEAN STEAMERS.The Beaver Line steamship \u201c Lake Champlain,\u201d from Liverpool, arrived in port early yesterday afternoon, being the firet ocean steamer this season.She was closely followed by the Dominion Line \u201cOntario,\u201d from Liverpool, and the Donaldson Clyde Line steamer \u201c Concordia,\u201d from Glasgow.The SS, \u201cPolino\u201d has also arrived in port.MuNDAY.MAY *, FINANCIAL, \u2018The week closes on more animated and stronger markets.The opening of navigation and the fine weather the past week has stimulated trade in all directions, and monetary circles as a consequence are in a healthier and more active state.The demand from commercial borrowers is on the increase, and rates of discount remain unchanged at 7 @ 71 for \u201cgilt edge\u201d paper, and 6 @ 64 on call loans on stock collaterals.Sterling Exchange is dull at 9 @ 9§ for bankers\u2019 60- day bills and 9} counter.\u2018Demand bills are negotiated at 9, and currency on New York 7-16 @ à premium.The market for foreign exchange in \u2018New York was quiet but steady, and the business was small, Commercial bills are not plenty.Posted rates were 4834 and 486.Actual rates were as follows, viz.: Sixty days\u2019, 4.824 @ 4.823; demand, 4.85 @ 4.85}; cables, 4.85} @ 4.853; commercial bills, 4,81 @4.814.Continental bills were as follows, viz.: Francs, 5.208 @ 5.21%, and 5.18} @ 5.18}; reichsmarks, 943 @ 94%, and 94} @ 95; guilders, 39 15-16 @ 40 and 40 3-16 @ 40}.Consols in London are steady at 102 1-16 for money and 102} for account.United States bonds firm, 4)% at 1164, 5\u2019 at 106%; and American railroad securities lower.Erie, 37; Illinois Central, 148, In London yesterday Hudson Bay shares were quoted at 323 and North- West Land at 78s 0d.The Bank of England lost on balance yesterday £50,000, The amounts of specie held by the various European banks at the latest dates were as follows :\u2014Bank of England, £21,258,805; Bank of France, £81,687,000; Imperial Bank of Germany, £30,837,000; National Bank of Belgium, £3,819,000; Austro-Hungarian Bank, £18,740,000; Swiss Associated Banks, £2,201,000; Netherlands Bank, £9,938,000; Bank of Spain, £4,967,000.Paris advices to London quote three per cent.rentes at 79 francs 80 centimes for account, and exchange on London at 25 francs 194 centimes for cheques.The weekly statement of the Bank of France shows an increase of 7,650,000 francs in gold, and 4,125,000 francs in silver.The New York money market was easy at 33 to 4 per cent.on call loans on stock collaterals.The N.Y.shares market was active and fairly steady.Advices are to the effect that there is at the moment an increasing demand for investment in railroad bonds, as compared with the more speculative trading in stocks of the roads.According to the N.Y.Post the total sales of railroad bonds yesterday amounted to about $2,500,000 at their face value, the actual market value being probably near $2,000,000.The greater portion of this, even in the speculative low priced bonds, is for comparatively permanent investment either for the interest that the bonds pay now or that they may be expected to pay when the roads on which they are based are completed.The total sales of stocks yesterday amounted to 225,000 shares, representing a market value of probably $13,500,000.But the greater portion of this was entirely speculative and did not probably represent an investment of above $300,000 or $500,- 000 for even comparatively permanent holding of the stocks.It is seldom that there is so great a difference in the two forms of investment for capital.Compared to last Saturday the shares market is irregularly changed, some stocks being higher, some lower.The following higher, viz, :\u2014Burlington, 3; Canadian Pacific, 5; Denver, 1§; Hann.and St.Joseph preferred, 23; Illinois Central, à; Kansas and Texas, §; Missouri Pacific, 1; Jersey Central, 13; North-Western preferred, 1; Northern Pacific, ! and 4: Oregon Trans, 4; Richmond and Danvil le, 33 ; Richmond and West Point, 1%; Rochester and Pitts, 1; Rock Island,

Nash, #3 Mich.Central, 14; New York Central, 2%; North-West common, }; Reading, 1; Manitoba, 14.The New York weekly bank return is more favourable in the increase of reserve, and in the larger relative increase of deposits than of loans, The increase of deposits and specie reflects the disbursements of the United States Sub-Treasury in the redemption of called bounds, which has taken $4,131.831 of specie out of its vaults in the last week.The Post thinks the bank statement would probably show a much greater increase of specie this week if their exact condition to-day could be known, but the statement is only made on the averages for the week, and therefore shows less than the actual today.The principal items of the statement are as follows, viz:- Inc.$2,612,400 .Inc.2,932,300 Incth Too 7,080 De.\"10820 | MF 1883.\u2018 These changes show an increase of 1 $708,925 in the surplus reserve, which now stands at $1,604,125, against $895,- 200 last week, and $9,650,350 a week ago.The following is a comparison of the averages of the New York banks for the last two weeks :\u2014 April 2.May 5.Differ\u2019nces.Loans.$312,895,000 $315,507,400 Inc.$2,602,100

Ontario and Quebec railway construction.\u2014A new time table will go into force on the Grand Trunk West and the Great Western division on the 13th inst.\u2014The Pennsylvania Company has declared a semi-annual dividend of two per cent.cash, and two per cent.in either scrip or cash, and four per cent in stocks.\u2014Mr.H.Taylor, formerly auditor of the Canada Southern, has heen appointed treasurer of the Chicago, St.Po is & Pittsburgh\u2014 The Grand Trunk railway are receiving and forwarding large shipments of freight for Manitoba and the North-West by the Sarnia route.\u2014On account of rush of freight to the Kingston and Pembroke depot, the company find it necessary to enlarge the premises.A large freight shed will be in readiness Ly the first of June which will make merchants feel happier.\u2014The Great Western Division of the Grand Trunk Railway for some time has been crowded to its utmost capacity to move the traffic going over it.To give an idea of the traffic, it may be stated that for the last six or eight weeks the average number of trains over the line between Toronto and Hamilton is over forty per ay.\u2014At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Central Ontario Railway, which was held at Picton, the following directors were elected for the year: S.I.Ritchie, Akron, Ohio; H.B.Payne, Cleveland, Ohio ; O.H.Payne, Cleveland, Ohio ; Wm.Coe, Madoc; G.W.McMul- len, Picton ; H, C.McMullen, Picton ; J.B.McMullen, Picton.\u2014Now the rumour comes of a pending alliance between the Lackawanna, Grand Trunk and Gould systems, which, when completed, will result in the diversion of all through traffic from the Vanderbilt lines to the Grand Trunk, which, with the Great Western now under its control, and the Chicago & Grand Trunk, will offer all the needed facilities west of Buffalo.\u2014A dispatch from Winnipeg reports that General Superintendent Egan, of the Canadian Pacific Railway, has formally taken over the Thunder Bay branch of the railway, and issued orders for its future operation under the syndicate, Exress trains will make the distance from inmipeg to Lake Superior\u2014435 miles\u2014 in twenty-four hours.Lake navigation will open next week, and a heavy traffic is anticipated over the new route.\u2014Jay Gould in speaking of free canals says:\u2014\u201c The effect of removing the tolls will not be noticed particularly by the railroads.The railroads have a fabulous amount of passenger traffic, expressage and freightage that the canals are not able to do.These slow routes will get enough of bulky property to transport at moderate rates to keep them in existence.The actual rivalry is no longer between the railroads and the canals, but among the various trunk lines running between the ocean and the lakes.Things have been warm in the past, but they will be red hot in the future.\u201d \u2014 The Ontario Government timber agent at Prince Arthur\u2019 Landing has received instructions from the Government to seize $1,300,000 worth of ties and lumber cut by the Canadian Pacific Railway at Keewatin, which is in the territory now in dispute between Ontario and the Dominion.The Ontario Government claims the territory and the Canadian Pacific Railway never obtained permission from it to cut the timber.An Inspector has gone into the woods to seize all timber that has been cut and to post a notice warning any one touching the lumber that they will be arrested for stealing.The action may result in a speedy settlement of the boundary dis- ute as to whether Manitoba or Ontario 18 entitled to that territory.\u2014Mr.J.H.Fraser, of Fraser & Fraser, solicitors of the London Judttion Railway Company, are in receipt of a letter from the Head Office of the C.V.R., which states that Mr.White, the new superintendent, with a staff of surveyors, is to come west in the course of a few days to take a trip over the proposed route of the new line from London to Belmont.The delay thus far has been occasioned by the necessity for obtaining recent legislation at Ottawa, by the departure of Mr.Ross to join the C.P.R., but whose place has filled by Mr.White, and latterly owing to the fact that Mr.Holt, the engineer, has also been engaged by the C.P.R., involving the employment of a new engineer.This settled, however, the construction of the line will be pushed forward with all possible vigour and speed.ce BRITISH MARKETS BY CABLE.\u2014\u2014 Cotton.\u2014 LIvERPooL, May 4.\u2014 4 p.m.Futures\u2014 Uplands, low middling clause, May aud June

two by the locomotive.FRIGHTFUL AccIDENT-\u2014The Coroner held an inqueat at the Morgue on Saturday last on the body of à man named Mark Kirwin, who was accidentally killed the day pre vious in the Grand Trunk Railway yard at Point St.Charles.From the evidence iven at the inquest it appears that while deceased was in the act of coupling the cars together his foot caught in a \u201cfrog,\u201d and while endeavouring to extricate the member an engine came aloug the track, and before the driver could see him he was run over and crushed to a shapeless mass.The driver stated that he did not see deceased until within a few yards of him, and that eonsequently he could not stop the engine in time.The jury returned a verdict of accidental death and not otherwise.Tre latest novelties in suitings,

entered against him by Mr.Faust, a horse dealer from Pennsylvania.From the evidence given, it appears that Mr.Faust on arriving in this city, recently, put up at the .American House, and as he had always been in the habit of looking under his bed before retiring, he did not neglect to do the same thing on this occasion, when to his sur rise he recognized a man under it.He immediately left his room, locking the door after him, and soon returned with a number of the \u201cattaches\u201d of the hotel.When they opened the door of Mr: Faust\u2019s room they found the strange man in possession of the apartment.The police were immediately notified and the man arrested on suspicion.Mr.Faust states that he had $800 in cash and two orders for $1,000 each on his person, and he believes that the prisoner must have heard of this and had consequently concealed himn- self under the bed.The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday, by which time an effort will be made to find out something concerning him.ATTEMPTED Escape.\u2014AÀ determined attempt to escape was recently made by five convicts at the St.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary.They escaped from:their cells by means of skeleton keys and gagged the guard, taking from him at the same time his clothes, revolver and keys.The ringleader, who is a notorious character, named Vieau Alexis Leblanc, dressed himself in the guard's cléthes and anmed himself with the revolver.The convicts soon came upon the keeper, who was going his regular rounds accompanied by another man, and Leblanc placed his revolver at the keeper\u2019s head and threatened to shoot him if he did not surrender.The keeper had a heavy padlock in his hand :and before Leblanc had time to carry his threat into execution Le was knocked insensible.When the other.convicts saw their leader fall they immediately surrendered and were taken back to their cells.When the guard was found be was black in the face and must have been a corpse had he remained in his fearful position a minute longer.Leblanc isin a dying condition, his skull being fractured by the blew trom tae padlock.Erps\u2019s Coooa\u2014Gr4TEFUL AND Cox- FORTING.\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of the natural

crowded on Saturday mornivg by politicians and others interested when Hon.Justice Torrance took his seat upon the Bench at 10.15 to proceed with the hearing of the Mousseau : election case.Hon.Mr.Mercier, counsel for the petitioner, addressing the Court said that seeing the declaration made the previons day by the defendant\u2019s attorney before this Court when he said that he consented to ti:e cancellation of his election with costs, the plaintiff would therefore abandon that part of his conclusions which asked for the disqualification of the defendant.This declaration was signed by the Hon.Mr.Mercier, for the plaintiff and Hon.Mr.Lacoste for the defendant.The case is inscribed for hearing before the Court of Review on the Tth inst., at 11 o\u2019clock when the judgment of the Court will be formally rendered.The friends of ousseau say that the writ for a new election will be issued to-day.AMUSEMENTS.ACADEMY OF MUSIC.\u201c LA MASOOTTE.\u201d Though Saturday afternoon was most unpropitious for opera-goers, yet the fascinating and charming grace of Mdme.Theo, made a very large and brilliant audience of both sexes attend the matinee to witness her personation of « Bettina.\u201d We have had a great many personators of the role at the Academy at differént times, and many of them gave excellent and praiseworthy performances, but certainly of then al] Theo\u2019s rauks the best in every- way.She sang and acted with more than her usual vivacity, and her singing of the \u201cGobble Duet\u201d with M.Huguet, who played \u2018*¢ Pippo,\u201d called forth the most enthusiastic applause, and had to be repeated.Theo, as ¢ Bettina,\u201d is in her element and we trust she will play once more before she leaves.Mr.Huguet\u2019s ¢ Pippo\u201d could not have been better.He has a fine voice of much power gnd sweetness and sings very truely.He is deserving of every praise for his good work offSatur- day.Si.Mezieres and Duplan were im- raensely funny as

beginning on Thursday night.The Syracuse Courier speaks of them as follows :\u2014¢ A capital minstrel per formance was given by the Barlow, Wilson & Co.organization at the Grand Opera House last evening in the presence of a large andience.An exceedingly interesting programme was arranged and both the first part and olio were refreshingly new and entertaining.Frank Cushman, the Leon, and Luke Schoolcraft, still remain with the company, and with others almost equally well known, form one of the best combinations on the road.George Wilson is cop- ceded to be the most original comedian in the business and his special acts rarely fail to convulse a house.It is impossible to enumerate in various specialties, but they were given with a vim and the entire performance was first class in all its details.\u201d THEATRE ROYAL.GENERAL TOM THUMB.Hardly anything further than the mere announcement that the world-renowned General Tom Thumb is to appear at the Theatre Royal this afternnon and evening is required to assure a crowded house.On many previous occasions this wonderful personage appeared in our city, and has always received the most flattering receptions from our theatre-goers, an there is every reasen to suppose that his reception this time will not be behind the reat.The first performance will be given at 2.30 o\u2019clock this afternoon, and the af- -ternoon performance will offer splendid opportunities to ladies and children.The performance will also be given every evening during the week.The prices could not be more moderate, and we are assured that there will be crowded houses on each occasion.WEBER HALL.AFTERNOON CONCERTS.Miss Morrison-Fiset, assisted by leading amateurs of the cily, will give a series of popular afternoon concerts in Weber Hall, commencing on Saturday next, the 24th inst., at three o\u2019clock.The concerts will dcubtless prove a treat and will receive the appreciation they deserve.If You Want a Piano Get the Best.It is a fact not known to all our readers that the price of the New York Weber Piano (universally admitted to be the finest musical instrument in the world), as sold by the N.¥.Piano Co., is very little more than the price asked for other pianos not costing one-half so much to manufacture.The New York Musical Trade Review, who investigated the subject, states that the wages paid by the house of Weber was ten per cent.higher than was paid by any other manufacturer in America, and nearly double the price paid by the leading manufacturers in Europe.In an interview with-Mr.Wm.Stelaway he admitted that the wages paid by Weber.for skilled labour exceeded that paid by any other heuse in the United States.Notwithstanding these facts, we often hear of large prices being paid to agents for second, third or fourth rate pianos, most of which ean now be purchased from the manufacturers for.a little over half the cost of pianos like the Weber.Pianos, like nations and individuals, have their day\u2014the Stodarts of thirty years ago were superseded by Chickering, and he was in turn superseded by Steinway; now Steinway and all have to give place to Weber, who, the New York Zribune says, can hardly be said to havearival.The Tribune says, the wealthy and fashionable people of New York will have no other piano, and if Weber's instruments do not adorn theis drawingreoms it indicates a lack of musical taste or of the means necessary to procure it.Now that the young ladies are retumaing from sehool, the purchase of a history, those parents who are able should procure the best.It is quite likely they will find the difference in cost very little, but the difference in tone will be very great.A Weber piano is net an article of furniture, it isin the highest sense an instrument of music which will last for a generation and be a source of pleasure to the family, and the friends who visit them, while it lasts.The name (Weber, New York) on the key board of the piano stamps the family as possessing iaste and musical appreciation, if not wealth.For WEBER, DECKER & SON, DUN- HAM, HALE, HALLOT & DAVIS, VOSE & SON, and the HEINFZMAN and WILLIAMS & SON, Pianos of TORONTO, 0 to the New York Piano

inviting the citizens of Montreal to take part in the celebration of planting trees to-day in conformity with the proclamation of His Honour the Lieutenant - Governor creating to-day Arbour Day, and the prospects are that the celebration will be attended with much success.The civic authorities have decided to plant trees in hooour of the Marquis of Lorne and H.R H.the Princess Louise, and have chosen the height of land on the Mountain Park on which the Golf House is erected.The Princess Louise tree will be planted by His Worship the Mayor, and the Marquis of Lorne tree by Hon.W.W.Lynch, Commissioner of Crown Lands.The ceremony will begin at eleven o\u2019clock this morning, and a large number of prominent citizens have been invited.After the planting of the trees & collation will be served and the different organizations will then separate to do their own tree planting.The St.Patrick\u2019s Society have made arrangements to plant a number of trees in the Irish immigrant burying-ground at Point St.Charles, the ceremony to take place i the afternoon.Mrs.N.8.Whitney, the daughter of Mr.Mills who was Mayor of Montreal in 1847, and who died from attending to the wants of the inmigrants will plant the memorial tree.The Protestant Board of School Commissioners have given the schools under their control a full holiday and have furnished the pupils of each school with a number of trees to be planted around the school building.The Road Department have made arrangements to have a number of trees planted around the City Hall and Court House.The pupils of the McGill Normal School will also plant a number of trees on their grounds, and a number of other institutions also intend to celebrate the day.ST.PATRICK\u2019S SOCIETY.A largely attended meeting of the members of & Patrick\u2019s Society was held yesterday afternoon in St.Patrick\u2019s Hall, to make the necessary arrangements for the due celebration of Arbour Day.The President, Mr.F.B.McNamee, occupied the chair.After an amount of routine business, the 2ud Vice-President, Mr.O\u2019Meara, himself a descendant of parents who perished in the ship fever of 1847y announced that the Society had been invited to take part in the celebration of planting trees around the monument at Point St.Charles erected to the memory of those who perished from the ship fever.The invitation was accepted, and it was further resolved that Mrs.N.S.Whitney, the daugher of Mr.Mills, who was Mayor of Montreal in 1847, and who, in attending to the wants of the emigrants, contracte the fever and died, should be requested to plant a tree to be known as the Mills memorial tree.> The society further resolved that four trees should be planted in the burying ground at the Point, to represent the four divisions of Ireland.The Ulster tree to be planted by the President, the Connaught tree by the lst Vice-President, the Munster tree by the 2nd Vice-President, and the Leinster tree by the President of the Protestant Benevolent Society, Ald.J.C.Wilson.Another tree will be planted to the memory of those devoted men and women who sacrificed their lives in attending to the invalid Irish emigrants.The planting of this tree to be conducted by Drs.Hingsfon, R.P.Howard, Fenwick and Leproon.The Society, owing to the short notice of the event, could not make as extensive arrangements as they would have wished for the due celebration of the day, but the idea of commemorating the event by planting trees to the memory of those who perished from the ship fever is an excellent one, and it is to be hoped that all Irishmen and especially descendants of those who perished in 1847 will attend the celebration, which will commence at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the Irish emigrant burying ground at Point St.Charles.After the meeting a deputation composed of the President, the 1st Vice-President and 2nd Vice-President of the Society, waited upon Mrs.N.8.Whitney to obtain her consent to \u2018be present and plant the memorial tree, when Mrs.Whitney replied that if at all possible she would be present in person, but that in any case a representative of the family would attend.The meeting of St.Patrick\u2019s Society yesterday being a special one to consider the Arbour Bay celebration, no other business could be transacted, but several important matters will be brought before the monthly meeting to be held this evening.In regard to an interview with Mr.J.P.Whelan, which appeared in an evening contemporary, in which that gentleman was represented as saying that during the recent Irish National Convention at Philadelphia, at which he was a delegate from the Montreal Land League, a message was received from the St.Patrick\u2019s Society of Montreal, the purport of which was that the society would endorse any measures the convention should adopt, it is emphatically denied by the society that any such message was ever sent, as it might have committed them to agree with resolutions which might have been passed by the convention and with whieh the society might not have agreed.\u2014_\u2014 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE Mr.George Seward, the well-known sprint.runner, died recently at his home, Birkenhead, England.He was.the most famous athlete of modern times and his speed was so great that he could defeat at his favourite distances any man of his day.He was by birth an American, having been born -at New Haven, Conn., October 17, 1817, Early in life Seward was noted as a speedy runner, and around New Haven there still hangs a tradition that he at one time ran 100 yards there in eight seconds.Seward\u2019s performance on the record books \u2014his 120 yards in 11% seconds, run May 3, 1847, and his 200 yards in 193 seconds, done March 22, 1847, are the fastest performances on record.He is also reported to have made the fastest ! mile on record and to have been not only a good runner, but also a splendid hurdler and jumper.FOOTBALL.A very successful football match was layed on Saturday afternoon, at Kingston, Bettreen the Royal Military College Cadets, of that place, and the Montrealers, of Montreal.The teams were composed as follows :\u2014 Cadets\u2014Messrs P G

of his seat in the Legislative Assembly by the Hon.Mr.Mousscau was expected.The evidence presented in the election court left him no alternative.It was proved clearly that the law had been violated and the seat forfeited.The only point in doubt wus as to the personal disqualification of Mr.Mousseau.Perhaps.had the matter been pressed, this too might have been established.But Mr.Mercier has apparently taken a generous view of all the circumstances and has declined to proceed to extremities, and in this decision he is supported by leading Liberals in our city, although some may have desired to sce the case pushed to the hitter end.There will naturally be a difference of opinion in regard to Mr.Mercier's course, especially as he was forced to appear in the dual position of a prosecutor of Mr.Mousseau in the court and the leader of the Oppesition to Mr.Mousseau\u2019s Government.But public sentiment, appreciating the delicacy of Mr.Mercier's position, will, doubtless, approve the soundness of his judgment and the moderation of his proceedings.The character of the evidence which has unseated Mr.Mousseau should teach that gentle.an, to abstain from practices which, to put it mildly, ought not to be associated with the person and proceedings of the Premier of Quebec.To friend and foe alike this evidence has heen painful reading and should be remembered only as a warning against the repetition of electioneering methods \u2018whioh all parties should unite te suppress.The report that Mr.Mousseau had resigned the Premiership was, of course, as unfounded as the story that the Preraier would be lifted beyond the reach of disqualification by being placed in the highest temple of purity and honour, to wit, on the Bench.Mr.Mousseau, no doubt, Will again offer his services to the electors and un early contest may be expected.=_\u2014sss THE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES.The supplementary estimates for the year 1382-3 were brought down on Saturday.They amount to

individuals who fall out by the way, the cavalcade marching on as if no change had taken place in either the personnel or the members of which it was composed.But no matter how this may be there are occasionally those whom society cannot afford to lose and whose removal leaves a vacant chair that few if any of us can discover the means of filling in any kind of a satisfactory way.Yesterday one of those whom we have been in the habit of styling Montreal's merchant princes, was called away,a gentleman who, while a thorough business man, was highly esteemed and looked up to because of qualities other than those which were essential to business success.Possibly there were few men of higher personal character, and of keener appreciation of the truth that \u201cone touch of nature makes the whole world kin,\u201d than was Mr.Edward Mackay, the subject ef these remarks.He was one .whose very appearance suggested the whole soul of which he was possessed, and whose kindly words and deeds fully bore out all that autside appearances predicated of him.Mr.Mackay came to Canada from Scotland in 1840, and after a brief residence in Kingston, joined his brother, Mr.Joseph Mackay, in Montreal, with whom he entered into partnership in 1850 under the name and style of Joseph Mackay & Brother.His connection with this old established and highly respected house continued until 1875, when he retired from active business life.Prior to his retirement though he had in various ways been comnected with other enterprises, his efforts were mainly directed to the promotion of the business with which he and his late brother were so intimately connected.For many years Mr.Mackay interested himself largely in the development of some of our important public concerns, among them the Canada Cotton Company, of which he was president, and the Colonial Building and Investment Association.He was also, subsequent to the death of his brother, president of the Mackay Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, and a governor of the Montreal General Hospital.Where possibly he became most prominent, and will be most missed, was on the Board of Directors of the Bank of Montreal, where his opinions were always received with the highest ves- pect.Mr.Mackay will be generally missed in Montreal society.His funeral takes place on Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock.LE AN I THE PACIFIC RAILWAY.à can not Le denied that the exposition of the affairs of the Canadian Pacific Railway by the Minister of Railways was most re-assuring.Whether regard be had to the character of the work, the extent of the Company\u2019s operations, the promise of the early completion of the line, or the benefits it is fitted to confer on Canada and Canadian commerce, and the general development of the Dominion frotn end to end, it must be admitted that the outlook is most cheering.The interests of Canada are so bound u with the success of the Pacific Railway\u2014not merely with its early construction, but its successful operation for all time-\u2014that the public are now glad to have the assurance that everything that could reasonably be expected is being done to push forward the construction of this great trans-conti- nental highway.One of the most satisfactory statements made by the Minister relates to the progress which is being made in the construction of the read on the north of Lake Superior, between Callendar and Thunder Bay.Very large sums have been expended in securing the most favourable location of the line in this region, and the work of construction is proceeding vigorously from both ends.At the beginning of the year\u2014as stated in the report of the General Manager of the Canadian Pacific, which Sir Chas.Tupper read\u2014forty miles of track had been laid from Callendar westward to Sturgeon River ; the grading was about completed for twenty miles further, and was well advanced on a further section of ten miles, and it was expected that during the present year the grading would be completed and the tract extended for an additional hundred miles westward.Two thousand three hundred men and one hundred and seventy-three teams were then employed on this portion of the work.On the Algoma branch in January track had been laid for twenty miles from Algoma eastward, and it is expected that the whole one hundred miles will be completed and ready for operation this season.A thousand men and eighty teams were employed on this portion of the work, even in winter, and the force is now much larger.From Prince Arthur's Landing eastward the grading was so well advanced in January as to justify the general manager in stating that by the end of the present year track will be laid to a point about one hundred miles east of the Landing.In the winter season 1,150 men and 100 teams were employed on this section, and the force is now largely increased.It will be seen, therefore, that while great progress has been made in the prairie region, the country has the assurance that the gigantic efforts which are being put forth to build the portion of the line connecting the Eastern Provinces with the North- West proper are of a character to Justify the Minister of Railways in declaring that the road will be opened from Montreal to the Pacific Ocean in 1886.On the Lake Superior section alone the force at work this summer cannot be less than six thousand to eight thousand men, and probably a thousand to fifteen hundred horses, and so satisfactory have been the surveys, that Sir Charles Tupper is able to announce that from Montreal to the foot of the Rocky Mountains there will net be a gradient in excess of 52 1eet to the mile.It is also.most gratifying to learn that the country adjacent to the Lake Superior sections is likely to furnish the road with a large amount of traffic, the timber being of the finest description and the mineral wealth almost limitless.To these sources of traffic may be added the extensive fisheries of Lake Superior, which a railway located near the shore will greatly stimulate.The impulse which, it is now conceded, the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway will give to Montreal can scarcely be over-estimat- ed ; hence the lively interest which is evinced by our citizens in public discussions affecting the fortunes of a road on which the Pacific Railway Company had expended west of Callendar down to the emd of March twenty-five millions of dollars, the total outlay to the Government of Canada being over twenty-eight millions.MR.GLADSTONE'S DEFEAT.As we stated in a former article, though the Affirmation Bill was thrown out, Mr.Gladstone and his Government do not in any sense regard the outcome as a party defeat.Albeit some of the journals supposed to be connected with them hold an opposite view.No English paper has been more firm and unwavering in its support of the British Premier thun the Pall Mall Gazette, which is edited by the most prominent places in British literature, yet that gentleman is manifestly of the opinion that the member for Midlothian \u201chaving brought .in this bill the Ministers were bound by every consideration, no less of business than of self-respect, to let their own adherents as well as their opponents know that they meant what they said, and intended their measure to pass.What is justly called the molluscous method is no longer either prudent or safe.\u201d On the other hand, the SA James' Gazette.the aristocratic organ of the Conservative party, says \u201c For three years they have been waiting for a wave to tide them over the Affirmation Bill, and it is plain that they do not know yet whether to pin themselves to it as a government or not.To govern, in any legitimate sense of the word, they refuse.It becomes a question whether they ave paid by the country to be its guides and do its work or to maintain an expéctant attitude and merely register the set of the current.\u201d The truth of the matter is that the Government did everything in their power to carry the measure, and felt confident of doing 80 by a majority of at least thirty, according togthe representations of their whip.Though the bill was introduced ernment, Mr.Gladstone, as Prime Minister, assumed its entire responsibility, and threw himself into the battle with all his force and energy, as is evidenced by the fact that in support of the bill he made one of the most powerful speeches of his life.The actual point at issue, in the opinion of honourable members, seems not so much to have been the merits or the demerits of the Affirmation Bill, but whether or not Mr.Bradlaugh should enter the House liar views which he had elsewhere advanced, had made himself personally obnoxious to many who looked upon him as nothing short of a man of sin and one whose opinions if disseminated were calculated to exercise a baneful influence, the more especially when they might have utterance given to them in the House of Commons.That Mr.Gladstone considered himself defeated is manifest from the fact that as the corollary to the division, he called upon Sir Stafford Northcote, the leader of the Opposition, to assume the direction of the House in the action which it became necessary to take subsequently.Either this was the conclusion at which he had arrived or his disappointment, not to say annoyance, caused him to act in a manner that he should have avoided.We can only account for his course in one of two ways, the one being an admission of defeat upon a measure introduced by the Government, the other that he had so far set his heart upon clearing the way for Mr.Bradlaugh that his failure was a bitter disappointment to him.As a contemporary has said : \u201c What Englishmen admired in Lord Beaconsfield was his dash, his vigour and audacity.\u201d Mr.Gladstone, beyond doubt, has all the vigour and much of the dash of his former great rival ; bnt he does not be able to submit to adverse circumstances with the grace and self-confidence that characterized the old member for Buckinghamshire.So far as concerns the position of the Government, it isa peculiar one.Although beaten on a bill of their own creation, on their general policy the House is with them and on a direct vote of want of confidence there is no question that they would be sustained.It would, therefore, be hardly fair to expect Mr.Gladstone to resign, yet in face of the fact that on the Bradlaugh matter he transferred the leadership of the House to Sir Stafford Northcote, we cannot interpret his course other than one who has made for himself one of by a subordinate member of the Govsince he, by his writings and the pecu- as an admission of defeat.It is certainly to be hoped that at the present juncture the Premier will not deem it incumbent on him to retire since his general policy has been acceptable not only to the people of the three kingdoms but to those of theEmpire at large.A SALARY GRAB.For some time past a movement has been on foot among members of the House of Commons to secure for themselves increased \u201c indemnity,\u201d as it is called.The pay of members is $1,000 for the session, and liberal mileage is allowed them to defray their travelling expenses.It is now proposed to vote $1,500 for the session, leaving the mileage untouched.It is understood that the signers of the \u201c round robin\u201d are principally Conservatives from Quebec and Ontario, with a few from Nova Scotia and only one from New Brunswick, which isagain * the banner Province.\u201d With the exception of Mr.Girouard, member for Kent, the Conservatives from New Brunswick, to their credit be it said, refused to sign a document which, we believe, bears the names of even the Conservative members for the Torontos! We have not learned the number or the names of the members of the Opposition who have joined in this demonstration against the publie purse, but we should hope that they are few and that they will retrace their steps.The raid is a discreditable affair, and wherever it originated, and by whatever influences supported, it should fail.The thousand dollars already paid is ample for such legislators as those who originate these movements for \u201cmore pay,\u201d and who feel that because they have the power to vote themselves more, they have also the right to do se.These legislators are not generally the wisest or the most gifted of their body.They are not those who confer the greatest honour on their constituents, or who make the greatest sacrifices for the country, or who expect to remain longest in the public service.The legislators who have the highest regard for public opinion, who have the most elevated views of their relations to their constituents, and who are inspired by the purest motives in their public labours are not generally found concocting schemes for extract ing from the public treasury fifty per cent.more \u2018\u2018 pay \u201d than they had agreed to accept.It sometimes, happens, however, that honest and gifted but good natured members of Parliament, under personal appeals, yield to the solicitations of their fellows and countenance schemes which they knew to be ill advised and wrong, and which, if successful, must result in bringing Parliament as a body into contempt and members individually under no small measure of odium.And this is just one of those movements in which an active, unprincipled minority may, by persistent canvassing and button-holing, succeed in compromising the integrity of the whole body.It is to be hoped, therefore, for the reputation of Parliament as a body and of its members individually, that this improper proceeding may come to grief and be heard of no more.It may perhaps be said that there is no reason for retaining the indemnity at one thousand dollars a session, and that to many members it does not approach to a reasonable compensation.It happens, however, that the men who are loud in their demands for increased indemnity are usually men who are not worth a thousand dollars, and who are in Parliament to grasp what they ean during their brief power.We should expect to find on this indemnity \u201cround robin \u201d those members whose mileage pays all of their expenses at Ottawa as well as their travelling expenses, and who will carry home their \u201cindemnity\u201d intact ; and we should not be disappointed.For men of this class a thousand dollars is far too much pay.For really useful and intelligent legislators it is uo compensation whatever, nor would an extra five hundred - dollars be any nearer the measure of the value of their services.The thousand dollars indemnity provides twelve dollars a day for a twelve weeks session, and this sum should suffice to meet all reasonable expenses of private members.It will be a bad day for Canada when members of Parliament come to regard the position of a member of the Commons, not as a position of honour but as representing a salaried office and the \u201cspoils\u201d of politics.We are astonished to notice that this raid on the treasury, which has originated in the Government ranks and which can only succeed with the assistance of the Government majority, has not been denounced by the Government press.These journals should see that their silence is being taken to imply consent, while tending to the embarrassment of the Government.It cannot be said that the political majority in the House of Commons is not responsible to the world for the acts of that body.It is responsible, and it must be held to its responsibility.If \u201cGrit members,\u201d as the Ottawa Citizen says, have signed the round robin, so much the worse for them.All the same, the Government majority is responsible fer the legislation of this Parliament and we are doing ne unfriendly act when we warn the Government majority that its members, and they alone, will be held responsible for the success of this latest attempt at a Salary Grab.A NEW use has been discovered for oyster shells.For years they have been used for the manufacture of lime as manure, for decorative purposes, and in the preparation of a cheap imitation of marble ; but it is now found that they can- uot be better utilized than by being shrown in quantities into the sea, where they make the best possible foundation for new oyster beds.In July and August next many ship loads of these.empt hells will be sunk by British and Frenc s | oyster farmers in various places suitable for the purpose; and a few healthy living oysters will then be drop- ed upon the same spots.Experiments ve proved that under such conditions the bivalves will shortly multiply to an almost incredible extent ; and in so brief à period as two years each empty shell will have from thirty to forty young oysters attached to it.The new generation can be removed to make room for more, and fattened for market in specially constructed tanks.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Le Journal de Quebec strongly urges the necessity of the Province of Quebec being properly represented at several important exhibitions shortly to be held in the United State: and in Europe\u2014 ce.YEsTERDAY, May 6, was the anniversary of the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr.Burke.DEATHS.Maokay\u2014At his residence, Kildinan Hall, 1059 Sherbrooke street, on tlie morning of Sunday, the 6th instant, Edward Mackay, in the 71st year of his age.The funeral will take place Tuesday afternoon, the 8th instant, at 3 o\u2019clock.Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.Met Advertisements.RIZONA.The following is extract from Certificate of Analysis made by PROF.ELLIS, M.B.Public Analyst, Toronto ;\u2014 ¢ This analysis shows that *¢Rizona\u2019 contains all the essential food con- « stituents of rice flour, and hence is much \u201c more nutritious than such preparations \u201c as Arrow-root & Corn-starch, which con- \u201c\u201c siat of little else than starch.\u201d (Signed,) W.H.ELLIS, BaF Sold by all Grocers.May 7 108 à, f GRA AY, The Grand Excursion to San Francisco, The Pacific Coast, British Columbia.A Special Train of First-class Cars to the Pacific Coast from Montreal, FRIDAY, MAY, 18th, 1883, at 8.30 a.m., AT LOWEST EMIGRANT RATES.150 lbs.Baggage free to Omaha;

Sir, every person knows that the great disadvantage under which Canada has lsboured in times gone by was that the United States of America had a eat North-West to attract immigration while Canada has none.Every person who has studied this questiongknows that there is nothing me.c true than the proverb that « Westward the star of Empire wends its way.\u201d Every person knows that the tendency is to go West.Look at the Eastern States of the United States, and what do we find ?Look at this population today compared with what it was long ago, and you find it comparatively stationary, because of the constant drifting to the West that takes place on the Ameri can continent.The sane took place in Canada.The tendency was to go West, and as Canada had no West, they went to the United States.How is it now?Why, Sir, not only is the current westward to the United States stopped, but it is reversed, and now flowing back over the 49th parallel of latitude are the people that went out of our country into the West, and those who have always lived in the United States until some 30,000 of them came here during last year.I say that if this railway had done nothing else than to turn this current of immigration into our own country.and invite ple from across the boundary into our North-West; if it had done nothing else, it would lave accomplished ali that would be necessary to commend it to the judgment and the regard of every patriotic Canadianeduct the floating population out «of the whole of that, and vou have of remaining settlers in the North-West 58,751.But, Sir, that is not all.I (will read as the au- \u2018thority is better than any statement I can make, and I am sure the House will permit we to do =o, I will add one of the most interesting extracts that ever graced the report of a Minister of Agriculture since \u2018Canada was a country.\u201cIt thus appears that the value in money and property as- -Certained as brought by the immigrants into the country in 1832 was $3,171,501, besides a very large amount unascertained \u2018taken into Manitoba, and which it is impossible to approximate.In addition there were the very considerable values in tools, implements and effects.The amount of money taken to Manitoba by intending settlers during 1882 was very considerable and as will be seen by a note at the bottom of this page it was stated by a banker that $8,000,000 were ou deposit in Winnipeg, which sum had been taken in for investment before the middle of the year.Still further capital, no doubt, was brought in after that date, of which no record is available.Part of this was from the older provinces, but having in view the fact that capitalists from Eastern provinces intending to invest in Manitoba or the North- West Territory would probably leave their deposits in their own banks for draft upon them as required, a proportion of three- fourths of the above amount of $8,000,000 may be set to the credit of newly arrived immigrants, and this cash capital, without taking into account the moneys deposited after the date above referred to, would make a total value of cash, goods and effects brought in by immigrants $10,- 000,000 in round numbers in 1832.\u201d Now, Sir, I have given you the figures in relation to the past year, and I draw attention to the fact that a cable appeared in the Globe newspaper from its London corre spondent announcing that the ships sailing that day conveyed 3,000 persons from Li ver ool to the Dominion of Canada, and declaring that that number was double that which ever embarked on any previous day in the history of the country.I need not add a word to a statement of that kind to show the enormous value to this country of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which, as I have said, has been one of the chief factors in changing the position of our country, and ensuring that we may rely on steadily increasing the tide of immigration, becausc the difficulty in immigration is the initial difficulty.Previded you have, as I am proud to say we have, the most inviting country for settlers in the world, all you want is the means of getting people into the country from which they can communicate to their friends the prosperity that has attended them, and you will draw ultimately thousands, tens of thousands and huirdreds of thousands after them.Our advance will thus be in a progressive ratio and we shall have the proud sati=faction of knowing that this garden of the world will be at no; distant day well filled with energetic and enterprising settlers, who will make that hitherto neglected wilderness blossom as the rose.Now I may, perhaps, be permitted with a little personal prideand vanity to allude to the resolutions, which I have the houour to submit, as representing the views of the Government in 1879.I do not intend to read the whole of them, but I will read three of them, as follows :\u2014 \u201c3.Resolved that reports from the mother country set forth an nuprecedented state of enforced idleness of the working classes.and the possibility or a scheme of relief on a large scale being found indispensible to alleviate destitution.\u201c4.Resolved that the construction of the Pacific Railway would afford immediate employment to nwinbers of workmen, and would open vast tracts of fertile land for occupation, and this would form a ready outlet for the over-populated districts of Great Britain and other European countries.' \u201c5.Resolved that it is obvious that it would be of general advantage to find an outlet for the redundant population of the mother country within the Empire, and thus build up flourishing colonies on British soil instead of directing a stream of imuni- ration from England to foreign countries.\u201d Ï need not remind the House that the great difficulty under which Canada laboured was that the United States presented such overwhelming attractions previous to our having a North-West of our own that we were unable to compete witli them in relation to immigration.But I will draw attention to the fact that while hon.gentle men opposite told the people it would be -an idle dream for the Government to suppose they could enlist the Government of ngland in support of our policy, I have the proud satisfaction of knowing that today one of the questions uppermost in the winds of British Statesmen and British Ministers who to-day control the destinies of the Empire, is this question and it is held that a sounder policy could not be -adopted to meet the difficulties of the overpopulated districts in all.of the mother country, whether in Iingland, Ireland, or Scotland\u2014and there are largely over- Populated districts in all of them\u2014than that of immigration.Lord Derby, the able man who now presides over our colonial destinies, publicly declared that England could not appropriate millions of its treasure to etter use than \u2018o send to Canada assisted emi- ration from the over-populated districts of gland.And at last through the various channels and means which never could have been adopted but for the attractions We are able to offer in connection with the Construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the people of England and the press are being brought to understand that there 1S no source to which they can look with more confidence as a relief from their diffi- ustry and energy and by a tithe of the labour which now refuses to give them the common necessaries of life, they may rapidly become, not only successful settlers, not only men who are going to add to the wealth of the country, but a source of power to the Empire instead of a source of the greatest possible weakness.And yet wrth all these facts before him the hon.leader of the Opposition ventured the statement that all the advantages of the Canadian Pacific Railway contract are on one side.Let him turn to Winnipeg for a few moments, let him look at Winnipeg as it was and as it is, before it was vitalized by the vigorous manner in which this Government undertook the work of pushing forward the railway.The hon.gentleman has only to turn to the figures to find the most as tounding facts that are presented in any part of this Continent.Where, I ask, even in the Western States of the Union, can the hon.gentleman show me a single spot, notwithstanding all the advantages they possess, and all the connections they have nade by means of immigrants in the United States and their friends in the ald countries, which presents the evidences of rapid progress and rosperity that Winnipeg presents today?Where is there a spot on this Continent that has urged ahead with such rapidity, strength and energy seen in that city, which is soon to become\u2014which has already become\u2014one of the greatest centres of this country?The populatton in 1871 was 500; in 1881 it had risen to 9,000, and that was largely after 1878, as the hon.gentleman knew.But from 1881 the first of the operations of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, the population went up from 9,000 to no less than 25,000 ina single year; value of assessed property increased from $9,000 to no less than $25,000 in a single year ; the value of property increased from $9,000,000 in 1881.to $30;- 000,000 in 1882.What evidence can be more conclusive of the influence and success of that policy than is to be found in the figures to which I have directed attention.The imports from Great Britain and foreign countries in 1881 were $2,837,431, in 1882 they had risen to $8,223,926, being an increase of $5,295,497, but the amount of increase with our own country is a question in which the people of the older provinces have a lively interest.In addition to the five millions increase of imports from Great Britain and foreign countries, the imports from the older pro- vinees of Canada increased by $12,000,000, making the imports for the little town of Winnipeg, as it was but yesterday, no less than $20,000,000 in a single year.Let us now turn to customs duty, and what do we find?I need not tell the House the material value of every immigrant, that all Canada requires in order to secure material progress and to rapidly wipe out the debt of the country and have a degree of prosperity which will compare favourably with that of any country in the world, is that people shall be more brought into the country and furnished with the means of obtaining profitable employment.The taxes paid into the revenue of the country by every immigrant who comes in makes them an absolute and certain source of wealth.What do the customs returns show?The duties collected in 1879 were $879,255, 1881, $651,892, in 1882, $1,587,327 or an increase for 1882 over 1881 of $935,555, showing nearly one million of an increase and yet my lon.friend hesitates to accept one and a half millions of Credit Valley Railway bonds as security for one million to enable tlie Canadian Pacific Railway Company to prosecute more vigorously the great work An which they are engaged.Not only have wean increase of about one million here in consequence of that contract, but we have at the same time one million absolutely paid into the treasury of this country by themselves or as nearly so as possible in connection with their own works and five millions were expended in building the road in 1882.The deposits in the Government savings banks increased three quarters of a million nearly or $707,922 in 1882 over 1881, and yet the hon.gentleman contends there is no evidence of any benetit accruing to Canada from the contract for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.Does he believe, does any gentleman in this House believe that the history of our country would furnish figures like these to evidence to the world the gigantic strides which we are makin in progress and in prosperity if it had not been for the contract made with the Canadian Pacific Company.I say, Sir, under! these circumstances that we may point tojthat country, that we may point to the development of Winnipeg in this relation.Here, Sir.I want to ask the permission of the House to read an extract from a speech read the other day by Mr.Duncan McArthar.Mr.Duncan McArthur is a practical, clear-headed, able man, who has been engaged for ten years in the city of Winnipeg, as Manager of the Merchants Bank, a position from which he recently retired.The hon.gentleman having concluded a long quotation from Mr.Me- Arthur\u2019s speech, proceeded to say : I may say, Sir, that no gentleman can read that statement, that clear, calm, dispassionate statement which, in every line of it, carries conviction to the mind of every intelligent man without coming to the conclusion that the fears and anxieties of hon.gentlemen opposite had been in the past totally without foundation for that all that is required in order to develope a Greater Britain on this continent with a rapidity that the people of the old world have never been able tojunderstand of appreciate, is to ener- etically go forward in the future as we ave done in the past, and by the policy which we have entered upon in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway give that scope and verge for the new development of that country that it would be Jmpossible to give to it in any other' way.I referred a little while ago, Sir, to the value of branches that were being constructed by the CAnadian Pacific Railway Company.I alluded to the fact that with the exception of the land along their lines from Moose Jaw to the Rocky Mountains they would be obliged to get the balance of their land in the North-West, between the 52nd and 54th parallels of North latitude, and these lands were from 100 to 250 miles distant from the railway.Now, Sir, let me first draw attention to this fact that while the Canadian Pacific Railway Company have been constructing 281 miles of ranches out of their own resources, and while they are engaged in constructing another branch of 110 miles and another of 180 miles in addition to.be built within the next two years.all that we have been able, all that this Government has been able to do in constructing branches through that great and priceless heritage of the North-West by private enterprise has been one branch of 51 miles on the South-Western and another of 30, soon to be 50 miles on the Portage, Westbourne and North-Western.I need not say, Sir, that this is the total amount accomplished, notwithstanding that this Government gave to these companies 6,400 acres of land per mile at $1 an acre along these lines of railway to aid and assist them in the construction of these private branches and here, Sir, | may say that as regards the Portage, Westbcarne and North-West- ern Line as everybo.y knows not a blow would have been struck if it had not been Sir, have we this record of Winnipeg, but going further west, we find Portage La rairie, Brandon, Broadview, Regina, Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat and Calgary, and we find in all these points the nucleus already of thriving, energetic, populous towns rapidly to become large centres of population throughout the district, and giving the nucleus and starting points for the ramification of the population and extension of branches north and south in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway, for the development of that country to an_extent which could not be accomplished in any other way.In the cattle ranches at, the foot of the Rocky Mountains we have been enabled to illustrate and demonstrate the fact to the world that there is no part of the continent of America better adapted to that class of business than our Canadian North-West, into which thousands and teus of thousands of settlers are pouring and supplying, as they still continue to supply, the most important elements in connection with the development of Canada.Now, Sir, I would like to ask my hon.friend with these facts before him whether he is still prepared to reiterate the statement that the advantages in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railroad contract are all to be found on the one side.I do not believe he will.Sir, we are developing not only the agricultural resources of that country, but capitalists are pouring into it to develop its mineral resources.There is one respect in which we stand at a great advantage over any portion of the prairies of the Western States, One respect in which they cannot at all compare with us.It has already been stated, on the highest testimouy, that the fertility of the soil of our portion of the North-West is of the highést, and in one of the most vital elements in building up a great country with rapidity, the Canadian\u2019 North-West has been found to be at a great advantage over the prairies of the Western States, where the absence of this element was found to be a material drawback.I refer to the question in full; I have in my hand the report made by an able, and one who is rapidly becoming a very eminent, man.I refer to Mr.George M.Dawson, who is connected with the \u201cDepartment of the Interior.He says, after describing at length the value of the seams, and the admirable character of the coal in the North-West, Thewccurrence of workable coal seams at several different horizons, and the proved continuity of some of them over great areas guarantee an abundant supply of fuel in this distriet\u2014a matter of great importauce im a country which, over great areas, is almost entirely destitute of wood.The quality of some of the fuel is such as to render them suitable for transport to a distance, and it is doubtless on this belt of coal bearing rocks in the vicinity of the mountains that the railways of the North-West will depend chiefly for their supply.The quantity of coal glready proved to exist is very great.The distance for which the out crops of certain seams have been traced have been mentioned.Approximate estimates of the quantity of coal underlying a square mile of country in several localities have been made with the following results.Main seam in vicinity of coal banks Belly River, coal underlving one square mile, 5,500,000 tons ; Grassy Tsland, Bow River, (a continuation of Belly River main seam), coal underlying one square mile, over 5,000,000 tons ; Horse Shoe Bend, Bow River, coal underlying one square mile, 4,900,000 tons; Black Foot Crossing, workable coal in seam as exposed on Bow River, underlying one square mile 9,000,000.\u201d 1 refer to this in passing to show that in that most important element in the development of a prairie country Canada possesses a great superiority over any portion of the Western States, and it is an element which will have a great deal to do with the future of our country.We have gold, we have cop ber, we have iron mines, which are at- (tracting immense attention at the present moment at the head Lake of Superior to furnish a profitable industry for great numbers of people.In that country, from Prince Arthur\u2019s Landing, all through to the head of Lake Nepigon and Red River, the hum of mining industries is now to be heard, while large amounts of capital are going in to aid in the development of the mineral resources of the country.I now turn the attention of the House for a single monient to another point in this connee- tion and that is the pesition in which the country stands in relation to the land.I will read a short note which was addressed by Mr.Burgess, the able Secretary of the Department of the Interior, to my friend the Speaker of the Senate, who has been | giving this subject his constant and careful attention for a length of time, It was not given me for publication, but 1t expresses the facts of the case so tersely, and 80 much to the point, that I venture to give it to the House: \u2014 ! OTTAWA, 4th May, 1883.Sir,\u2014Having given the subject my best and fullest consideration I estimate that the receipts of thie Department from the sale of agricultural and coal lands, timber dues, rents for grazing lands, and sales of mineral lands other than coal, with the royalties from the minerals between the 1st January, 1883, and 31st December, 1891, both inclusive, will amount to not less than $58,000,000.This note is signed by Mr.Burgess, under whose personal observation and information all these various points come.I give iv to the House as an evidence of the soundness of the statement made by my right hon.friend, the Minister of the Interior, when he told the House, three years ago, that he confidently relied upon the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway being accomplished with-| out its costing one dollar to the people of Canada, as the entire amount required to recoup the Government and the country for their expenditure in zonnection with it would at no distant date be returned by the sale of land, and the revenues derived from lands in the North-West I say that the evidence on that point if very conclusive, I hold in my hands a staiement of the de- artment as to what has taken place.I Rave already given the toal sales of 1872 to 1880 inclusive, and I have shown the utterly insignificant quatity of lands that the Government was alle to dispose of, and the small amount of money they received for them, namely, something\u2019 like 35 cents per acre.I now give from the department the following approximate estimate of the amount due for land time sales and pre-emptio) sales computed from Ist January, 1881,¢0 31st December, 1882, and maturing befere 31st December, 1883, $4,930,000 ; instalments owing by colonization companies to mature with in four years, and assiming that the companies earn the full amount of rebate, $927,150.Companies lave till 30th June, 1883, to complete agreements and to mature within foar yesrs, Land and Colonization Company of Canada, $537,600; Saskatchewan Land Homestead Company, $322,560 ; Temperance Colonization Company, $838,656, or a total for these companies of $1,698,836.Estimated to be received from colmization companies who have till 28/h February, 1883, to pay instalments, $150000; ground rents on timber leases, $4165; owing at Winnipeg timber offce, $2,600; estimated amount owing by Canadin Pacific Railway Comany at Winnipeg office, $20,000, or a total that my hon.friend, the leader of the Opposition, not only took great exceptions to the statement, but pronounced it so absolutely beyond any possible conception as to entirely discredit, so far as that hon, gentleman was able to discredit, the prediction and the computation which the right hon.gentleman made, We estimated that by the time the Canadian Pacific Railway contract was to be completed under the terms of the contract, we would receive not merely the $53,000,000 we were going to pay in connection with the construction of that work, but that we would receive about $60,000,000, or a considerable amount over and above the entire expenditure we were called upon to make in connection with the construction of the road.In order to show the House how thoroughly reliable and within the mark that calculation is, I will givethe calculation made by my right hon.friend and communicated to the House as our estimate two years ago, when it was very much discredited by hon.gentlemen opnosite, and I will also give the resuit.The Minister of the Interior estimated that in 1882 there would be an incoming population of 35,080; the actual immigration of settlers into the North-West was 58,751.I am almost afraid, Sir, of discrediting my right hon.friend by reading these figures, because you will find how incapable he is of making an accurate calculation ; he estimated that the revenue to be derived from Dominion lands for the year 1882 would be $781,000; the actual revenue for the calendar year was $2,256,000.My right hon.friend estimated for the year 1883 40,000 as the increase of population, and my hon.friend, the Minister of Agriculture, estimated this increase of population at 75,000, and I think that will be below the mark.as previous estimates.have been.My right hon.friend estimates the revenue to be derived from the lands in 1883 at $1.820,000.The present estimate is $2,750,000, with every evidence that that will be under the mark.My right hon.friend estimated the increase of population of 1884 at 45,000, a much smaller estimate it will be seen than the actual increase of 1882.My hon.friend the Minister of Agriculture estimates it at 100,000.My right hon.friend estimates the receipts at $2,622,- 000, and I have no doubt that we shall receive that year $4,250,000.I give these figures as the evidence upon which I think we may confidently ask the Hoube to accept our estimates as being altogether below instead of above the fnark, and I ask my hon.friend the leader of the Opposition again whether, with these figures, I am not warranted in the statement I make in relation to everything connected with the Canadian Pacific Railway contract that down to the present hour the most sanguine calculations that any gentleman on this side has ventured to offer to the House or the: country.have been more than realized, and I ask wy hon.friend whether he will reiterate the statement to this House, if he does I am, sure it will be incredulous on both sides of the House, that all the advantages of this contract are to be found on one side.Now, Sir, I will say a single word before I sit down with reference to the net debt of the country Every person knows that when the Government came down to the House aud asked it to sustain them in the policy of vigorously grappling with the construction of a Canadian Pacific Railway from end to end, a wail of dismay was set up on the other side of the House and every one remembers the utter ruin and destruction that was going to result to Canada from the attempt on the part of the Government within any reasonable period to construct that great railway.Everybody remembers the warning the solemn warning, that my hon.friend the leader of the Opposition gave to the rlousethat in that ruin we were going to destroy the very foundation of our country\u2019s prosperity.He admitted with us that the greatest thing for Canada was to bring people into the country but he said \u201c You will load this country down with a debt so gigantic in proportion to its u- lation that everybody wiil avoid Canadaas they would a pestilence and our immigration will cease.\u201d 1 am glad, Sir, to be able under tliese circumstances to draw the attention of the House for a single moment to a calculation made by my hon.friend the Minister of Finance, and we all know how far below the mark all his calculations have been, how careful he has been nt to overstate anything, as to the condition which this country will be in with respect to its debt when the time comes under the contract for the completion of the Canada Pacific Railway.I may state, and I do so, with one year\u2019s ex.erience which we have had already of the acific Railway contract.We have had one year in which my hon friend, the leader of the Opposition, says the Canadian Pacific Railway have gone too fast to have had one year of unprecedented rapidity of construction and.of draft on the treasury of the country for public money under the contract, and what has that year disclosed?Why, Sir, at the close of thal year after we had paid them every dollar that they were entitled to with all that rapidity of construction we actually owed #1,731,129 less than we did at the beginning of the ear.The net debt of the Dominion.The net debt of the Dominion.The net debt on the 30th of June, 1881, at the beginning of the contract was $155,395,780.40, on 30th June, 1882, it was $153,661,650.78, or, as I said before, a decrease of $1,734, 129,82.So much for the ruin that was to overtake this country by the construction of a Canadian Pacific Railway.Now, Sir, my hen.friend, the Minister of Finance, has given me a memorandum showing that at the conclusion of construction under the contract there will probably be an aggregate of proceeds from the sale of land and from surplus of revenue of $63,693,251.With that calculation before us, and I think all will admit that it is a safe calculation, I think we may come to the conclusion not only that our country will not be overwhelmed in debt, but that we shall be in the position that the Imperial Government are to-day.Mr, Childers has brought forward his budget, and in it he has very much astonished hon.gentlemen opposite Y a proposal to reduce the national debt by £8,000,000 a year.It was reduced last year by £8,000,000, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to reduce it this in by £8,000,000 ; so my hon.friend the inister of Finance proposes to reduce our debt.Some propose to use these decreases not for the construction of a Canadian Pacific Railway, mark you, but for the reduction \u2018of the public debt.That when this work is constructed from end to end there will not only be no increased indebtedness upon Canada, but at an early day the sales of the lands alone will return back to the treasury of the country every dollar that has been expended.But what will be the difference ?Why the difference will be that instead of being overwhelmed with debt, instead of immigrants who are locking to our shores as a future home being driven to seek\u2019 other.lands because we are borne down by a monstrous debt that we are unable to cou- trol\u2019 or provide for, the hon.gentleman will find that we shall have in this country reduced the debt, and at the same time a little over four millions of people will have accomplished one of the most gigantic feats in the record of any country in the world, the construction of a Canadian Pa- of

on one side requires some little modification at his hands.(Hear, hear.) I may say, Sir, that it would be impossible.in my judgment to find any country in the world that hes exhibited greater evidences of progress and prosperity during the time that we have been engaged in actively grappling with the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway than Canada presente, take it from: whet point yoa may.spoke a little while ago of the great advantage the United States of America had in regard to attracting population to their country, but what is the fact?Here in this Canada of ours we have been able, in connection with the construction of this great national work and with the efforts that lave been made through that compény and the Governinent ef the country, to increase the immigration from Europe 50 per cent., while our neighbours (the United States) have been only able to attract an immigrant population of 3} per cent.The tables are turned.Every per son knows that the eyes of the civilized world have for many long years been turned to the wonderful development of the great country south of us, every person knows that there never was à country that has made such progress as Canada has made in regard to the sentiment of the people, the press and the Government of England.he position Canada occupied yesterday has been entirely changed, and to-day the statesmen, the press and the most intelligent minds of that country are drawing the attention of the people to the fact that the wide world presents no -more inviting or attractive field for those who wish to seek homes in the new world than is to be found within the Dominion of Canada.We have every reason LD feel proud of our position when we look at the rapidity of the increase of.dur population, at the imports of thé country, at the exports of the country, dnd at the increasing and developing industries of the country.We are prepared to-da boned to the south of us in friendly rivalry, aud to shew thatin neither one nor the other of these great factors of the development and of the progress of the country are we behind (cheers).Now, Bir, I have trespassed upon the attention of the House much longer than I intended to, dnd if I were to judge by the futility of m# Éfforts in the past, 1 would sit down without say- in side of the House.\u201d I have already stated, Sir, that looking at it from a party point of view, nothing could be more conducive to the continued rule of the Conservative party of thiscountry than that hon.gentlemen opposite should continue to maintain the attitude that they have maintained in the past in relation to this great work.I have said, Sir, that I sincerely believe that there is no question that is so rooted IR the public mind of the great body of the intelligent men of all parties and all classes in this country as the conviction that thie Government of Canada deserves well at the hands of the people for havin put their hands.to this great work, an or having achieved a contract under which\u2019 our country is surging ahead with such gigantic progress.But, Sir, there is a greater, there is a higher, there is a more Important standpoint from which to view this question than one of party.Even at this late hour I would ask our friends on the opposite side of the House, notwithstanding the great advantage it will take from us, I ask them to bury the dead past, and to unite with us on the greatest national question that is now engaging the attention of thie people of Canada, to unite with us in hearty endeavours to elevate, to country together, as it can only be elevated and only advanced and only raised by the united sympathy and hearty action and co-operation of both parties.\"I feel thal it is more in the interest of hon.gentlemen opposite than in the interest of my friends that! make this preposition; but, Sir, I believe that the time is coming when, with the evidence before the world, the evidence that we have achieved a position, achieved sanguine dared two or three years ago to dream of achieving at an early day.With this evidence I believe that the time is coming when every patriotic Canadian is bound to unite heart and soul with all the energy that he possesses in a common effort, sinking the past and take hold of this gigantic enterprise, and to make it acliieve and accomplish all for our people that it is calculated to accomplish.(Loud applause.) : SATURDAY\u2019S SITTING.Orrawa, May 5.The Speaker took the chair at 3.20.SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES.\u2018À message was received from His Excelleacy the Governor-General submittin the supplementary estimates for the fisca year ending 30th June, 1883.THREE RIVERS HARBOUR MASTER.Mr.BOWELL moved for leave to intro- dude a bill respecting the Harbour Master of the Harbour of Three Rivers.He explained that the objects of the bill was to give the power to the Harbour Board of l'hree Rivers to appoint a Harbour Master who was formerly appointed by the Government.\u2018The motion was carried and the bill was read a first time.;

in New Brunswick, between Fredericton and Bay Verte, 120 miles, $384,- 000; in New Brunswick, between Bay Verte and Pugwash, $128,000; in Cape Breton, between Canso and Sydney, or Louisburg, 80 miles, $64,000 per mile.As the cost of construction will there be more than double the other portion specified, $572,000.The Company also ask for $182,000 in aid of the railway to Cape North; a liberal subsidy for the carriage of the mails, and free running powers over such portions of the Intercolonial Railway as they may require to use.THE G.T.R.AND N.8.COMPANIES, In the Senate Mr, Vidal\u2019s motion to suspend the rules prohibiting the introduction of the bill to extend the agreement between the Grand Trunk and the North Shore Railway Companies for fifty years, was carried, and the bill will come up for its second reading on Tuesday next.CHARGES FOR THE \u201c NEWFIBLD\"\u2019 ASSISTING THE \u201c MORAVIAN.\u201d Mr.Bowe'l laid before the House today copies of correspondence between the late Sir Hugh Allan and the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, in reference to five days\u2019 service rendered by the Government steamer \u201cNewfield\u201d in connection with the wrecked steamer \u201cMoravian\u201d in December, 1881.At the request of Sir Hugh the \u201cNewfield\u201d was despatched from Halifax to aid the \u201cMoravian,\u201d the former agreein, to pay $500 per day for suc service.On the 6th January Sir Hugh wrote to the Deputy Minister of Marine, stating the \u201cNewfield\u201d had rendered no service, and that he hoped the Government would not exact the $500 a day agreed upon.He remarked that the British Government did all such services free, and that he did not think it a very great stretch of liberality if the Dominion Government should give the services of the \u201cNewfield\u201d for nothing.Indeed, he expected to receive them for ing.In reply, the Deputy Minister sent to Sir ugh an account for $2,290 for expenses actually incurred by the \u201c Newfield\u201d in going to the \u201cMoravian\u2019s \u201d aid, stating that while the Government could not forego their claim, they would knock off $500.On the 6th March, Sir Hugh wrote again, contending that the Government should not use their steamers with a view to making a profit on them, and that it was not usual for Governments to make any charge rendered to vessels in distress.At all events, the \u201cMoravian\u201d was a mail steamer, and practically in the service of the Government, and the Canadian Government should not be the first to attempt to make a profit out of the misfortunes of vessels in distress.The Government seem to have allowed the matter to drop; no answer was made to Sir Hugh\u2019s last letter, and no payments have been made.PERSONAL.The Hon.Alexander Mackenzie leaves for Toronto to-morrow, amd will take | of passage for England about the 16th inst.TIMBER LIMITS SOLD.It is reported that a firm who secured a timber limit in the North-West sold some time ago from the Government for a trifling consideration, have just disposed of their interest to a company of lumbermen for $400,000.SUPPRESSION OF SEDITIOUS ASSOCIATIONS, It is probable that the bill.introduced in the Senate for the suppression of seditious and other unlawful associations will be dropped;

thought by many Irishmen out of wor that by going to the Consul with informa- n concerning conspirators that they might get money.The report that Sheridan and {Walsh had been arrested is unfounded, WasHINGTON, May 5.\u2014Mr.Davis, assistant Secretary of State, is quoted as saying : \u201cI will not deny the matter of extraditing Tynan, Walsh and Sheridan has been brought to the attention of the State Department by the English Government.The question has been fully talked over by Ae.Frelinghuysen and ethers who are fully aware even now of what steps will be taken, but no information will be given to the press until the President and Secretary hold a final conference and decide what is to be done.\u201d LonpoN, May 5.\u2014Authoritative information coming as directly as possible from the Foreign Office says that the Government has never asked the Washington Government to interfere with the dynamite plotters in America despite the sceres of statements which have been made to that effect.The reasons given are very simple.The State Department at Washington without any solicitation on the part of the English Government expressed a willingness to test by State or National law the possibility of bringing charges of conspiracy against some of the dynamite lotters.The test case will probably be rought in New York.The decision to make no request was reached deliberately by Earl Granville, and the correspondence of the most friendly sort was begun and ended by the State Department at Washington.It is the opinion of our own Foreign office that anything like a formal demand at present would be much more likely to hamper the Executive Department at Washington, in their efforts to deal with the Irish conspirators, especially in the matter of possible extraditions, than to do good.Other prudential reasons are also hinted at, which may come out in a day or two.a [LATEST TELEGRAMS.) \u2018Murder of Lord Leitrim.DusLiN, May 5\u2014A man named Kinsella confessed to police in

National League of America, who was met by a storm of applause, began his address by referring to the matters in his personal career which have been commented upon.We had anew national organization of Irishmen.He said the Philadelphia Convention was essentially an American body.He contended that the Philadel- \u2018phia platform had secured the enthusiastic approval of the entire American press without a notable exception, and had won for Ireland, to a degree hitherto un- attained.the sympathy of mankind.Yet, said the speaker, such ds the condition of Ireland to-day, that if such a platform were put forth by a similarly constituted form the entire assemblage would bave been marched, under military escort, from the Convention Hall to the jail.The platform declares, in a word, that henceforth the Irish race in exile is a unit in its determination to aid their countrymen in their struggle for self- government, by whatever methods they think best for the achievement of their end.Hedeclared the purpose of carrying out the wishes of the Convention was to make the masses of the American people informed as to the truth about Ireland.When they understood the reasonableness of her claim they would be united in their support and their will, properly expressed, the power of the British Emire could not withstand.In conclusion e said when Ireland has self government she will use her own capital to create manufactures.She will then export only her surplus food, and what manufactured articles her people need they will import from; America or some other friendly people.It is said her representatives have never proposed any definite plan of self government.Much indeed would their candour have availed, in a foreign legislature, from which they have repeatedly been expelled whenever they attempted to compel its attention to the wants of their country, but we shall print a record of the bills which the Irish members offered that bedy, only to see them contemptuously thrown out, generally without \u2018the poor compliment of a second reading.ericans who read the record will have a new appreciation of the necessity of giving Ireland a Legislature of her own.The attendance was not as large as usual.A number of societies were present in uniforms, and also many prominent persons, including members of the State Judiciary and the Mayor.Judge Thos.Moran presided.In accepting the chair, he pointed to the fact of the inability of Ireland to acquire relief through the agency of the English Parliament, and spoke of the unfair representation granted to the Irish people by that body.He asserted that the only hope for Ireland lay in the sentiment which will eventually actuate the entire American nation, and which will compel England to give Ireland favourable legislation.Mayor Harrison said i freedom would have to be won on this side of the Atlantic, not by throwing bombs, but by the force of American opinion.Congressman Davis said the honest sentiment of America was irresistibly with Ireland in her struggle for liberty; but he warned his hearers that any atteropt to organize a rebellion on this side of the ocean to be carried on, by indirect methods, would alienate the sympathies of this people.NEw York, May 5\u2014The newly-elected Council of the Irish National League of America have made arrangements with Thomas Brennan to organize branches of the new League in the United States.Committee to go to Ireland.PHILADELPHIA, May 6.\u2014At a meeting of the Parnell branch of the Irish League this afternoon a resolution was adopted recommending the Executive Committee of the National League to appoint a commission of three or five Americans to go to Ireland to ascertain the true condition of the country.John F.Fitiherty®s Report.Curcaco, May 6.\u2014At a meeting of the Sixth Ward Land League, to-day, John F.Finnerty, delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, made his report.He said he went to the Philadelphia Convention to do his duty regardless of the political unpopularity it might entail.The result was he has been misrepresented by the Eastern press, which classed him with the dynamite faction.He favoured supporting Parnell and would not antagonize the new League.Irishmen must rather suffer injustice than have the English Government believe they are not in harmony.People who complained of want of free speech in Ireland should consider there was no free speech in Philadelphia.Falling Into Line.Avausra, Ga, May 6.\u2014 The Irish League of Augusta has endorsed the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention.PHŒNIX PARK MURDER.Kelley\u2019s Third Trial.DusLiN, May 5.\u2014Counsel for Kelley have been notified that the third trial has been set for Monday next.The Extradition Question.NEw York, May 6.\u2014A London special says:\u2014The Cabinet held à special session yesterday to consider the question of the extradition of Sheridan and Walsh.It is stated that the meeting was divided upon the question whether the Government had a case sufficient to request the United States to give the men up.Earl Granville takes the ground that the Government is far from prepared to ask for extradition, and says the correspondence he has had with Washington, as well as the information he derived from the American Minister, have convinced him that unless the Government is better equipped with evidence extradition will be refused.He advised withholding the demand for extradition until the Government case is strengthened by further evidence.It is understood that he informed the British Minister at Washington that all the evidence will be sent to him, and that he shall submit the case to American counsel, and if they advise it to thereupon ask the United States to deliver up the men.DYNAMITE.Labour Reform League.New York, May 6.\u2014A score of men and women attended the Convention of the American Labour Reform League today.R.W.Hume presided.E.H.Heywood offered resolutions, which were adopted, declaring that as labour is the source of all wealth, its accumulation, by interest, or otherwise, is robbery ; that to pay no rent is a banner duty, not only

expect to be taken off by dynamite, daggers, or whatever other means retributive justice demands to establish common right.The action of the Philadelhia Convention was denounced as fruit- ess.O'Donovan Ressa to-day established another branch of the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood.One hundred members were initiated.Capt.John Kerwin was elected Fresident, and Dr.M.A.Farrie

cattle of the Pampas are computed at 20,000,000.They are the descendants of a bull and eight cows which were brought there by two Portuguese brothers in 1553.It is only near Buenos Ayres that they are crossed with finer stock.The old herds are ill-shaped and ugly.\u2014According to the statement submitted to the creditors of the firm of L.Abrahams & Co., the total amount of the liabilities foots up to $31,000, direct $20,000 and indirect $11,000.The assets are placed at $12,000, and the deficiency is consequently $19,000.A composition of 10 cents cash in the dollar was offered by Mr.Abrahams and accepted by a majority of the creditors.\u2014The number of national banks organized in the United States in the six months ending May 1 was 132, with a capital of $14,958,000.Ten of these, having a capital of $1,005,000, are located in New York.Twelve were banks which allowed their charters to expire and reorganized.Twenty-three banks relinquished business.The increase in the capital of the national banks was $8,- 677,000, and the decrease in circulation $3,399,500.\u2014Telegraphic advices from a reliable firm at St.Johns, Newfoundland, report the second trips from the seal fishery a failure, and also the Gulf fishery.Already some six cargoes of seal oil have been sold for Great Britain and the continent at prices fully equal to 67} cents per gallon here, so that less than usual will likely come to this market.Even with the 20 per cent duty there is some enquiry for the United States.The past two years the Gulf fishing proved very sue- cessful, and in consequence this market was largely supplied with light straw seal oil.This season the supply from this source is likely to be comparatively small.\u2014The drought in California which threatened to ruin the wheat has come to an end.A San Francisco exchange says: \u2014\u201cInstead of the driest year, it proves to be the best distributed rain season for agricultural productions of all kinds.And the gloomy forebodings of ten days ago are replaced by brilliant prospects and vociferous rejoicing.The grangers, after careful inquest, estimate the lowest value of this prolonged spring rain\u2014covering and literally soaking the whole land\u2014at $30,000,000.This memorable rain-storm from the south in the first days of spring set in, after two months of drouth, on March 26, and continued, shower fashion, till the afternoon of April 3.\u201d \u2014The Economist says that notwithstanding the backwardness of the public to invest in mining stocks, the statement is borne out by the facts that more money has been made in dividends on mines, in roportion to their capitalization, than has been received from the railroads of the country.The mines have paid since 1879 more than 27 per cent.on their quoted value.Mr.H.B.Clifford says forty- two old dividend-paying mines, with a current value of $47,558,902, - have paid $12,529,836, and thirty new mines, valued at $24,165,750, have paid $7,465,309.One mine has paid 135 consecutive dividends, and thirteen have paid ever 20 each.The above authority gives the total market value of these mines at $71,- 724,652, and the total dividends paid at $134,614,976.On a total capitalization of about $3,000,000,000 for the railroads less fthan 34 per cent.has been paid.The Economist finds that, while there are many mines that never have and never will pay, the good ones, well managed in accordwith modern methods of mining, with yield handsome returns, OCEAN STEAMERS.The Beaver Line steamship \u201c Lake Champlain,\u201d from Liverpool, arrived

\u201c Concordia,\u201d from Glasgow.The SS, \u201cPolino\u201d has also arrived in port.MuNDAY.MAY *, FINANCIAL, \u2018The week closes on more animated and stronger markets.The opening of navigation and the fine weather the past week has stimulated trade in all directions, and monetary circles as a consequence are in a healthier and more active state.The demand from commercial borrowers is on the increase, and rates of discount remain unchanged at 7 @ 71 for \u201cgilt edge\u201d paper, and 6 @ 64 on call loans on stock collaterals.Sterling Exchange is dull at 9 @ 9§ for bankers\u2019 60- day

small, Commercial bills are not plenty.Posted rates were 4834 and 486.Actual rates were as follows, viz.: Sixty days\u2019, 4.824 @ 4.823; demand, 4.85 @ 4.85}; cables, 4.85} @ 4.853; commercial

yesterday Hudson Bay shares were quoted at 323 and North- West Land at 78s 0d.The Bank of England lost on balance yesterday £50,000, The amounts of specie held by the various European banks at the latest dates were as follows :\u2014Bank of England, £21,258,805; Bank of France, £81,687,000; Imperial Bank of Germany, £30,837,000; National Bank of Belgium, £3,819,000; Austro-Hungarian Bank, £18,740,000; Swiss Associated Banks, £2,201,000; Netherlands Bank, £9,938,000; Bank of Spain, £4,967,000.Paris advices to London quote three per cent.rentes at 79 francs 80 centimes for account, and exchange on London at 25 francs 194 centimes for cheques.The weekly statement of the Bank of France shows an increase of 7,650,000 francs in gold, and 4,125,000 francs in silver.The New York money market was easy at 33 to 4 per cent.on call loans on stock collaterals.The N.Y.shares market was active and fairly steady.Advices are to the effect that there is at the moment an increasing demand for investment in railroad bonds, as compared with the more speculative trading in stocks of the roads.According to the N.Y.Post the total sales of railroad bonds yesterday amounted to about $2,500,000 at their face value, the actual market value being probably near $2,000,000.The greater portion of this, even in the speculative low priced bonds, is for comparatively permanent investment either for the interest that the bonds pay now or that they may be expected to pay when the roads on which they are based are completed.The total sales of stocks yesterday amounted to 225,000 shares, representing a market value of probably $13,500,000.But the greater portion of this was entirely speculative and did not probably represent an investment of above $300,000 or $500,- 000 for even comparatively permanent holding of the stocks.It is seldom that there is so great a difference in the two forms of investment for capital.Compared to last Saturday the shares market is irregularly changed, some stocks being higher, some lower.The following higher, viz, :\u2014Burlington, 3; Canadian Pacific, 5; Denver, 1§; Hann.and St.Joseph preferred, 23; Illinois Central, à; Kansas and Texas, §; Missouri

relative increase of deposits than of loans, The increase of deposits and specie reflects the disbursements of the United States Sub-Treasury in the redemption of called bounds, which has taken $4,131.831 of specie out of its vaults in the last week.The Post thinks the bank statement would probably show a much greater increase of specie this week if their exact condition to-day could be known, but the statement is only made on the averages for the week, and therefore shows less than the actual today.The principal items of the statement are as follows, viz:- Inc.$2,612,400

merchants feel happier.\u2014The Great Western Division of the Grand Trunk Railway for some time has been crowded to its utmost capacity to move the traffic going over it.To give an idea of the traffic, it may be stated that for the last six or eight weeks the average number of trains over the line between Toronto and Hamilton is over forty per ay.\u2014At the annual meeting of the

twenty-four hours.Lake navigation will open next week, and a heavy traffic is anticipated over the new route.\u2014Jay Gould in speaking of free canals says:\u2014\u201c The effect of removing the tolls will not be noticed particularly by the railroads.The railroads have a fabulous amount of passenger traffic, expressage and freightage that the canals are not able to do.These slow routes will get enough of bulky property to transport at moderate rates to keep them in existence.The actual rivalry is no longer between the railroads and the canals, but among the various trunk lines running between the ocean and the lakes.Things have been warm in the past, but they will be red hot in the future.\u201d \u2014 The Ontario Government timber agent at Prince Arthur\u2019 Landing has received instructions from the Government to seize $1,300,000 worth of ties and lumber cut by the Canadian Pacific Railway at Keewatin, which is in the territory now in dispute between Ontario and the Dominion.The Ontario Government claims the territory and the Canadian Pacific Railway never obtained permission from it to cut the timber.An Inspector has gone into the woods to seize all timber that has been cut and to post a notice warning any one touching the lumber that they will be arrested for stealing.The action may result in a speedy settlement of the boundary dis- ute as to whether Manitoba or Ontario 18 entitled to that territory.\u2014Mr.J.H.Fraser, of Fraser & Fraser, solicitors of the London Judttion Railway Company, are in receipt of a letter from the Head Office of the C.V.R., which states that Mr.White, the new superintendent, with a staff of surveyors, is to come west in the course of a few days to take a trip over the proposed route of the new line from London to Belmont.The delay thus far has been occasioned by the necessity for obtaining recent legislation at Ottawa, by the departure of Mr.Ross to join the C.P.R., but whose place has filled by Mr.White, and latterly owing to the fact that Mr.Holt, the engineer, has also been engaged by the C.P.R., involving the employment of a new engineer.This settled, however, the construction of the line will be pushed forward with all possible vigour and speed.ce BRITISH MARKETS BY CABLE.\u2014\u2014 Cotton.\u2014 LIvERPooL, May 4.\u2014 4 p.m.Futures\u2014 Uplands, low middling clause, May aud June

named Bertrand was walking along the embankment, wall, the other day, where the railway track sweeps around towards the Canadian Pacific Railway workshops, he jumped on to the track just as an éngine and tender came swiftly round the curve.Thinking the engine was going along the lower track he was about -to step across the line when he turned around suddenly and saw the engine within a few feet of him.He immediately junyped back against the embankment wall and as he did so the engine grazed his shoulder, tearing his coat and shirt and slightly abrading the skin.A dog who was with him was cut iu two by the locomotive.FRIGHTFUL AccIDENT-\u2014The Coroner held an inqueat at the Morgue on Saturday last on the body of à man named Mark Kirwin, who was accidentally killed the day pre vious in the Grand Trunk Railway yard at Point St.Charles.From the evidence iven at the inquest it appears that while deceased was in the act of coupling the cars together his foot caught in a \u201cfrog,\u201d and while endeavouring to extricate the member an engine came aloug the track, and before the driver could see him he was run over and crushed to a shapeless mass.The driver stated that he did not see deceased until within a few yards of him, and that eonsequently he could not stop the engine in time.The jury returned a verdict of accidental death and not otherwise.Tre latest novelties in suitings,

entered against him by Mr.Faust, a horse dealer from Pennsylvania.From the evidence given, it appears that Mr.Faust on arriving in this city, recently, put up at the .American House, and as he had always been in the habit of looking under his bed before retiring, he did not neglect to do the same thing on this occasion, when to his sur rise he recognized a man under it.He immediately left his room, locking the door after him, and soon returned with a number of the \u201cattaches\u201d of the hotel.When they opened the door of Mr: Faust\u2019s room they found the strange man in possession of the apartment.The police were immediately notified and the man arrested on suspicion.Mr.Faust states that he had $800 in cash and two orders for $1,000 each on his person, and he believes that the prisoner must have heard of this and had consequently concealed himn- self under the bed.The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday, by which time an effort will be made to find out something concerning him.ATTEMPTED Escape.\u2014AÀ determined attempt to escape was recently made by five convicts at the St.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary.They escaped from:their cells by means of skeleton keys and gagged the guard, taking from him at the same time his clothes, revolver and keys.The ringleader, who is a notorious character, named Vieau Alexis Leblanc, dressed himself in the guard's cléthes and anmed himself with the revolver.The convicts soon came upon the keeper, who was going his regular rounds accompanied by another man, and Leblanc placed his revolver at the keeper\u2019s head and threatened to shoot him if he did not surrender.The keeper had a heavy padlock in his hand :and before Leblanc had time to carry his threat into execution Le was knocked insensible.When the other.convicts saw their leader fall they immediately surrendered and were taken back to their cells.When the guard was found be was black in the face and must have been a corpse had he remained in his fearful position a minute longer.Leblanc isin a dying condition, his skull being fractured by the blew trom tae padlock.Erps\u2019s Coooa\u2014Gr4TEFUL AND Cox- FORTING.\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of the natural

consented to ti:e cancellation of his election with costs, the plaintiff would therefore abandon that part of his conclusions which asked for the disqualification of the defendant.This declaration was

enthusiastic applause, and had to be repeated.Theo, as ¢ Bettina,\u201d is in her element and we trust she will play once more before she leaves.Mr.Huguet\u2019s ¢ Pippo\u201d could not have been better.He has a fine voice of much power gnd sweetness and sings very truely.He is deserving of every praise for his good work offSatur- day.Si.Mezieres and Duplan were im- raensely funny as \u2018\u2018 Prince Laurent \u201d and \u201c Rocco.\u201d Mdlle Dorsay is also worthy of mention for graceful delineation of \u201c\u2018 Fritellini.\u201d e rest of the company gave capital support.In fact \u201cLa Mascotte\u201d was the most enjoyable performance yet presented by the company.In the evening \u201cLa Fille de Mme.Angot\u201d was repeated to a fair audience and with satisfaction.To-mght will be produced ¢ La Perichole.\u201d BARLOW, WILSON & \u20ac0.\u2019S MINSTRELS.This fine troupe of minstrels give three evening and a matinee performances the coming week, beginning on Thursday night.The Syracuse Courier speaks of them as follows :\u2014¢ A capital minstrel per formance was given by the Barlow, Wilson & Co.organization at the Grand Opera House last evening in the presence of a large andience.An exceedingly interesting programme was arranged and both the first part and olio were refreshingly new and entertaining.Frank Cushman, the Leon, and Luke Schoolcraft, still remain with the company, and with others almost equally well known, form one of the best combinations on the road.George Wilson is cop- ceded to be the most original comedian in the business and his special acts rarely fail to convulse a house.It is impossible to enumerate in various specialties, but they were given with a vim and the entire performance was first class in all its details.\u201d THEATRE ROYAL.GENERAL TOM THUMB.Hardly anything further than the mere announcement that the world-renowned General Tom Thumb is to appear at the Theatre Royal this afternnon and evening is required to assure a crowded house.On many previous occasions this wonderful personage appeared in our city, and has always received the most flattering receptions from our theatre-goers, an there is every reasen to suppose that his reception this time will not be behind the reat.The first performance will be given at 2.30 o\u2019clock this afternoon, and the af- -ternoon performance will offer splendid opportunities to ladies and children.The performance will also be given every evening during the week.The prices could not be more moderate, and we are assured that there will be crowded houses on each occasion.WEBER HALL.AFTERNOON CONCERTS.Miss Morrison-Fiset, assisted by leading amateurs of the cily, will give a series of popular afternoon concerts in Weber Hall, commencing on Saturday next, the 24th inst., at three o\u2019clock.The concerts will dcubtless prove a treat and will receive the appreciation they deserve.If You Want a Piano Get the Best.It is a fact not known to all our readers that the price of the New York Weber Piano (universally admitted to be the finest musical instrument in the world), as sold by the N.¥.Piano Co., is very little more than the price asked for other pianos not costing one-half so much to manufacture.The New York Musical Trade Review, who investigated the subject, states that the wages paid by the house of Weber was ten per cent.higher than was paid by any other manufacturer in America, and nearly double the price paid by the leading manufacturers in Europe.In an interview with-Mr.Wm.Stelaway he admitted that the wages paid by Weber.for skilled labour exceeded that paid by any other heuse in the United States.Notwithstanding these facts, we often hear of large prices being paid to agents for second, third or fourth rate pianos, most of which ean now be purchased from the manufacturers for.a little over half the cost of pianos like the Weber.Pianos, like nations and individuals, have their day\u2014the Stodarts of thirty years ago were superseded by Chickering, and he was in turn superseded by Steinway; now Steinway and all have to give place to Weber, who, the New York Zribune says, can hardly be said to havearival.The Tribune says, the wealthy and fashionable people of New York will have no other piano, and if Weber's instruments do not adorn theis drawingreoms it indicates a lack of musical taste or of the means necessary to procure it.Now that the young ladies are retumaing from sehool, the purchase of a history, those parents who are able should procure the best.It is quite likely they will find the difference in cost very little, but the difference in tone will be very great.A Weber piano is net an article of furniture, it isin the highest sense an instrument of music which will last for a generation and be a source of pleasure to the family, and the friends who visit them, while it lasts.The name (Weber, New York) on the key board of the piano stamps the family as possessing iaste and musical appreciation, if not wealth.For WEBER, DECKER & SON, DUN- HAM, HALE, HALLOT & DAVIS, VOSE & SON, and the HEINFZMAN and WILLIAMS & SON, Pianos of TORONTO, 0 to the New York Piano

inviting the citizens of Montreal to take part in the celebration of planting trees to-day in conformity with the proclamation of His Honour the Lieutenant - Governor creating to-day Arbour Day, and the prospects are that the celebration will be attended with much success.The civic authorities have decided to plant trees in hooour of the Marquis of Lorne and H.R H.the Princess Louise, and have chosen the height of land on the Mountain Park on which the Golf House is erected.The Princess Louise tree will be planted by His Worship the Mayor, and the Marquis of Lorne tree by Hon.W.W.Lynch, Commissioner of Crown Lands.The ceremony will begin at eleven o\u2019clock this morning, and a large number of prominent citizens have been invited.After the planting of the trees & collation will be served and the different organizations will then separate to do their own tree planting.The St.Patrick\u2019s Society have made arrangements to plant a number of trees in the Irish immigrant burying-ground at Point St.Charles, the ceremony to take place i the afternoon.Mrs.N.8.Whitney, the daughter of Mr.Mills who was Mayor of Montreal in 1847, and who died from attending to the wants of the inmigrants will plant the memorial tree.The Protestant Board of School Commissioners have given the schools under their control a full holiday and have furnished the pupils of each school with a number of trees to be planted around the school building.The Road Department have made arrangements to have a number of trees planted around the City Hall and Court House.The pupils of the McGill Normal School will also plant a number of trees on their grounds, and a number of other institutions also intend to celebrate the day.ST.PATRICK\u2019S SOCIETY.A largely attended meeting of the members of & Patrick\u2019s Society was held yesterday afternoon in St.Patrick\u2019s Hall, to make the necessary arrangements for the due celebration of Arbour Day.The President, Mr.F.B.McNamee, occupied the chair.After an amount of routine business, the 2ud Vice-President, Mr.O\u2019Meara, himself a descendant of parents who perished in the ship fever of 1847y announced that the Society had been invited to take part in the celebration of planting trees around the monument at Point St.Charles erected to the memory of those who perished from the ship fever.The invitation was accepted, and it was further resolved that Mrs.N.S.Whitney, the daugher of Mr.Mills, who was Mayor of Montreal in 1847, and who, in attending to the wants of the emigrants, contracte the fever and died, should be requested to plant a tree to be known as the Mills memorial tree.> The society further resolved that four trees should be planted in the burying ground at the Point, to represent the four divisions of Ireland.The Ulster tree to be planted by the President, the Connaught tree by the lst Vice-President, the Munster tree by the 2nd Vice-President, and the Leinster tree by the President of the Protestant Benevolent Society, Ald.J.C.Wilson.Another tree will be planted to the memory of those devoted men and women who sacrificed their lives in attending to the invalid Irish emigrants.The planting of this tree to be conducted by Drs.Hingsfon, R.P.Howard, Fenwick and Leproon.The Society, owing to the short notice of the event, could not make as extensive arrangements as they would have wished for the due celebration of the day, but the idea of commemorating the event by planting trees to the memory of those who perished from the ship fever is an excellent one, and it is to be hoped that all Irishmen and especially descendants of those who perished in 1847 will attend the celebration, which will commence at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the Irish emigrant burying ground at Point St.Charles.After the meeting a deputation composed of the President, the 1st Vice-President and 2nd Vice-President of the Society, waited upon Mrs.N.8.Whitney to obtain her consent to \u2018be present and plant the memorial tree, when Mrs.Whitney replied that if at all possible she would be present in person, but that in any case a representative of the family would attend.The meeting of St.Patrick\u2019s Society yesterday being a special one to consider the Arbour Bay celebration, no other business could be transacted, but several important matters will be brought before the monthly meeting to be held this evening.In regard to an interview with Mr.J.P.Whelan, which appeared in an evening contemporary, in which that gentleman was represented as saying that during the recent Irish National Convention at Philadelphia, at which he was a delegate from the Montreal Land League, a message was received from the St.Patrick\u2019s Society of Montreal, the purport of which was that the society would endorse any measures the convention should adopt, it is emphatically denied by the society that any such message was ever sent, as it might have committed them to agree with resolutions which might have been passed by the convention and with whieh the society might not have agreed.\u2014_\u2014 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE Mr.George Seward, the well-known sprint.runner, died recently at his home, Birkenhead, England.He was.the most famous athlete of modern times and his speed was so great that he could defeat at his favourite distances any man of his day.He was by birth an American, having been born -at New Haven, Conn., October 17, 1817, Early in life Seward was noted as a speedy runner, and around New Haven there still hangs a tradition that he at one time ran 100 yards there in eight seconds.Seward\u2019s performance on the record books \u2014his 120 yards in 11% seconds, run May 3, 1847, and his 200 yards in 193 seconds, done March 22, 1847, are the fastest performances on record.He is also reported to have made the fastest ! mile on record and to have been not only a good runner, but also a splendid hurdler and jumper.FOOTBALL.A very successful football match was layed on Saturday afternoon, at Kingston, Bettreen the Royal Military College Cadets, of that place, and the Montrealers, of Montreal.The teams were composed as follows :\u2014 Cadets\u2014Messrs P G

of his seat in the Legislative Assembly by the Hon.Mr.Mousscau was expected.The evidence presented in the election court left him no alternative.It was proved clearly that the law had been violated and the seat forfeited.The only point in doubt wus as to the personal disqualification of Mr.Mousseau.Perhaps.had the matter been pressed, this too might have been established.But Mr.Mercier has apparently taken a generous view of all the circumstances and has declined to proceed to extremities, and in this decision he is supported by leading Liberals in our city, although some may have desired to sce the case pushed to the hitter end.There will naturally be a difference of opinion in regard to Mr.Mercier's course, especially as he was forced to appear in the dual position of a prosecutor of Mr.Mousseau in the court and the leader of the Oppesition to Mr.Mousseau\u2019s Government.But public sentiment, appreciating the delicacy of Mr.Mercier's position, will, doubtless, approve the soundness of his judgment and the moderation of his proceedings.The character of the evidence which has unseated Mr.Mousseau should teach that gentle.an, to abstain from practices which, to put it mildly, ought not to be associated with the person and proceedings of the Premier of Quebec.To friend and foe alike this evidence has heen painful reading and should be remembered only as a warning against the repetition of electioneering methods \u2018whioh all parties should unite te suppress.The report that Mr.Mousseau had resigned the Premiership was, of course, as unfounded as the story that the Preraier would be lifted beyond the reach of disqualification by being placed in the highest temple of purity and honour, to wit, on the Bench.Mr.Mousseau, no doubt, Will again offer his services to the electors and un early contest may be expected.=_\u2014sss THE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES.The supplementary estimates for the year 1382-3 were brought down on Saturday.They amount to

individuals who fall out by the way, the cavalcade marching on as if no change had taken place in either the personnel or the members of which it was composed.But no matter how this may be there are occasionally those whom society cannot afford to lose and whose removal leaves a vacant chair that few if any of us can discover the means of filling in any kind of a satisfactory way.Yesterday one of those whom we have been in the habit of styling Montreal's merchant princes, was called away,a gentleman who, while a thorough business man, was highly esteemed and looked up to because of qualities other than those which were essential to business success.Possibly there were few men of higher personal character, and of keener appreciation of the truth that \u201cone touch of nature makes the whole world kin,\u201d than was Mr.Edward Mackay, the subject ef these remarks.He was one .whose very appearance suggested the whole soul of which he was possessed, and whose kindly words and deeds fully bore out all that autside appearances predicated of him.Mr.Mackay came to Canada from Scotland in 1840, and after a brief residence in Kingston, joined his brother, Mr.Joseph Mackay, in Montreal, with whom he entered into partnership in 1850 under the name and style of Joseph Mackay & Brother.His connection with this old established and highly respected house continued until 1875, when he retired from active business life.Prior to his retirement though he had in various ways been comnected with other enterprises, his efforts were mainly directed to the promotion of the business with which he and his late brother were so intimately connected.For many years Mr.Mackay interested himself largely in the development of some of our important public concerns, among them the Canada Cotton Company, of which he was president, and the Colonial Building and Investment Association.He was also, subsequent to the death of his brother, president of the Mackay Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, and a governor of the Montreal General Hospital.Where possibly he became most prominent, and will be most missed, was on the Board of Directors of the Bank of Montreal, where his opinions were always received with the highest ves- pect.Mr.Mackay will be generally missed in Montreal society.His funeral takes place on Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock.LE AN I THE PACIFIC RAILWAY.à can not Le denied that the exposition of the affairs of the Canadian Pacific Railway by the Minister of Railways was most re-assuring.Whether regard be had to the character of the work, the extent of the Company\u2019s operations, the promise of the early completion of the line, or the benefits it is fitted to confer on Canada and Canadian commerce, and the general development of the Dominion frotn end to end, it must be admitted that the outlook is most cheering.The interests of Canada are so bound u with the success of the Pacific Railway\u2014not merely with its early construction, but its successful operation for all time-\u2014that the public are now glad to have the assurance that everything that could reasonably be expected is being done to push forward the construction of this great trans-conti- nental highway.One of the most satisfactory statements made by the Minister relates to the progress which is being made in the construction of the read on the north of Lake Superior, between Callendar and Thunder Bay.Very large sums have been expended in securing the most favourable location of the line in this region, and the work of construction is proceeding vigorously from both ends.At the beginning of the year\u2014as stated in the report of the General Manager of the Canadian Pacific, which Sir Chas.Tupper read\u2014forty miles of track had been laid from Callendar westward to Sturgeon River ; the grading was about completed for twenty miles further, and was well advanced on a further section of ten miles, and it was expected that during the present year the grading would be completed and the tract extended for an additional hundred miles westward.Two thousand three hundred men and one hundred and seventy-three teams were then employed on this portion of the work.On the Algoma branch in January track had been laid for twenty miles from Algoma eastward, and it is expected that the whole one hundred miles will be completed and ready for operation this season.A thousand men and eighty teams were employed on this portion of the work, even in winter, and the force is now much larger.From Prince Arthur's Landing eastward the grading was so well advanced in January as to justify the general manager in stating that by the end of the present year track will be laid to a point about one hundred miles east of the Landing.In the winter season 1,150 men and 100 teams were employed on this section, and the force is now largely increased.It will be seen, therefore, that while great progress has been made in the prairie region, the country has the assurance that the gigantic efforts which are being put forth to build the portion of the line connecting the Eastern Provinces with the North- West proper are of a character to Justify the Minister of Railways in declaring that the road will be opened from Montreal to the Pacific Ocean in 1886.On the Lake Superior section alone the force at work this summer cannot be less than six thousand to eight thousand men, and probably a thousand to fifteen hundred horses, and so satisfactory have been the surveys, that Sir Charles Tupper is able to announce that from Montreal to the foot of the Rocky Mountains there will net be a gradient in excess of 52 1eet to the mile.It is also.most gratifying to learn that the country adjacent to the Lake Superior sections is likely to furnish the road with a large amount of traffic, the timber being of the finest description and the mineral wealth almost limitless.To these sources of traffic may be added the extensive fisheries of Lake Superior, which a railway located near the shore will greatly stimulate.The impulse which, it is now conceded, the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway will give to Montreal can scarcely be over-estimat- ed ; hence the lively interest which is evinced by our citizens in public discussions affecting the fortunes of a road on which the Pacific Railway Company had expended west of Callendar down to the emd of March twenty-five millions of dollars, the total outlay to the Government of Canada being over twenty-eight millions.MR.GLADSTONE'S DEFEAT.As we stated in a former article, though the Affirmation Bill was thrown out, Mr.Gladstone and his Government do not in any sense regard the outcome as a party defeat.Albeit some of the journals supposed to be connected with them hold an opposite view.No English paper has been more firm and unwavering in its support of the British Premier thun the Pall Mall Gazette, which is edited by the most prominent places in British literature, yet that gentleman is manifestly of the opinion that the member for Midlothian \u201chaving brought .in this bill the Ministers were bound by every consideration, no less of business than of self-respect, to let their own adherents as well as their opponents know that they meant what they said, and intended their measure to pass.What is justly called the molluscous method is no longer either prudent or safe.\u201d On the other hand, the SA James' Gazette.the aristocratic organ of the Conservative party, says \u201c For three years they have been waiting for a wave to tide them over the Affirmation Bill, and it is plain that they do not know yet whether to pin themselves to it as a government or not.To govern, in any legitimate sense of the word, they refuse.It becomes a question whether they ave paid by the country to be its guides and do its work or to maintain an expéctant attitude and merely register the set of the current.\u201d The truth of the matter is that the Government did everything in their power to carry the measure, and felt confident of doing 80 by a majority of at least thirty, according togthe representations of their whip.Though the bill was introduced ernment, Mr.Gladstone, as Prime Minister, assumed its entire responsibility, and threw himself into the battle with all his force and energy, as is evidenced by the fact that in support of the bill he made one of the most powerful speeches of his life.The actual point at issue, in the opinion of honourable members, seems not so much to have been the merits or the demerits of the Affirmation Bill, but whether or not Mr.Bradlaugh should enter the House liar views which he had elsewhere advanced, had made himself personally obnoxious to many who looked upon him as nothing short of a man of sin and one whose opinions if disseminated were calculated to exercise a baneful influence, the more especially when they might have utterance given to them in the House of Commons.That Mr.Gladstone considered himself defeated is manifest from the fact that as the corollary to the division, he called upon Sir Stafford Northcote, the leader of the Opposition, to assume the direction of the House in the action which it became necessary to take subsequently.Either this was the conclusion at which he had arrived or his disappointment, not to say annoyance, caused him to act in a manner that he should have avoided.We can only account for his course in one of two ways, the one being an admission of defeat upon a measure introduced by the Government, the other that he had so far set his heart upon clearing the way for Mr.Bradlaugh that his failure was a bitter disappointment to him.As a contemporary has said : \u201c What Englishmen admired in Lord Beaconsfield was his dash, his vigour and audacity.\u201d Mr.Gladstone, beyond doubt, has all the vigour and much of the dash of his former great rival ; bnt he does not be able to submit to adverse circumstances with the grace and self-confidence that characterized the old member for Buckinghamshire.So far as concerns the position of the Government, it isa peculiar one.Although beaten on a bill of their own creation, on their general policy the House is with them and on a direct vote of want of confidence there is no question that they would be sustained.It would, therefore, be hardly fair to expect Mr.Gladstone to resign, yet in face of the fact that on the Bradlaugh matter he transferred the leadership of the House to Sir Stafford Northcote, we cannot interpret his course other than one who has made for himself one of by a subordinate member of the Govsince he, by his writings and the pecu- as an admission of defeat.It is certainly to be hoped that at the present juncture the Premier will not deem it incumbent on him to retire since his general policy has been acceptable not only to the people of the three kingdoms but to those of theEmpire at large.A SALARY GRAB.For some time past a movement has been on foot among members of the House of Commons to secure for themselves increased \u201c indemnity,\u201d as it is called.The pay of members is $1,000 for the session, and liberal mileage is allowed them to defray their travelling expenses.It is now proposed to vote $1,500 for the session, leaving the mileage untouched.It is understood that the signers of the \u201c round robin\u201d are principally Conservatives from Quebec and Ontario, with a few from Nova Scotia and only one from New Brunswick, which isagain * the banner Province.\u201d With the exception of Mr.Girouard, member for Kent, the Conservatives from New Brunswick, to their credit be it said, refused to sign a document which, we believe, bears the names of even the Conservative members for the Torontos! We have not learned the number or the names of the members of the Opposition who have joined in this demonstration against the publie purse, but we should hope that they are few and that they will retrace their steps.The raid is a discreditable affair, and wherever it originated, and by whatever influences supported, it should fail.The thousand dollars already paid is ample for such legislators as those who originate these movements for \u201cmore pay,\u201d and who feel that because they have the power to vote themselves more, they have also the right to do se.These legislators are not generally the wisest or the most gifted of their body.They are not those who confer the greatest honour on their constituents, or who make the greatest sacrifices for the country, or who expect to remain longest in the public service.The legislators who have the highest regard for public opinion, who have the most elevated views of their relations to their constituents, and who are inspired by the purest motives in their public labours are not generally found concocting schemes for extract ing from the public treasury fifty per cent.more \u2018\u2018 pay \u201d than they had agreed to accept.It sometimes, happens, however, that honest and gifted but good natured members of Parliament, under personal appeals, yield to the solicitations of their fellows and countenance schemes which they knew to be ill advised and wrong, and which, if successful, must result in bringing Parliament as a body into contempt and members individually under no small measure of odium.And this is just one of those movements in which an active, unprincipled minority may, by persistent canvassing and button-holing, succeed in compromising the integrity of the whole body.It is to be hoped, therefore, for the reputation of Parliament as a body and of its members individually, that this improper proceeding may come to grief and be heard of no more.It may perhaps be said that there is no reason for retaining the indemnity at one thousand dollars a session, and that to many members it does not approach to a reasonable compensation.It happens, however, that the men who are loud in their demands for increased indemnity are usually men who are not worth a thousand dollars, and who are in Parliament to grasp what they ean during their brief power.We should expect to find on this indemnity \u201cround robin \u201d those members whose mileage pays all of their expenses at Ottawa as well as their travelling expenses, and who will carry home their \u201cindemnity\u201d intact ; and we should not be disappointed.For men of this class a thousand dollars is far too much pay.For really useful and intelligent legislators it is uo compensation whatever, nor would an extra five hundred - dollars be any nearer the measure of the value of their services.The thousand dollars indemnity provides twelve dollars a day for a twelve weeks session, and this sum should suffice to meet all reasonable expenses of private members.It will be a bad day for Canada when members of Parliament come to regard the position of a member of the Commons, not as a position of honour but as representing a salaried office and the \u201cspoils\u201d of politics.We are astonished to notice that this raid on the treasury, which has originated in the Government ranks and which can only succeed with the assistance of the Government majority, has not been denounced by the Government press.These journals should see that their silence is being taken to imply consent, while tending to the embarrassment of the Government.It cannot be said that the political majority in the House of Commons is not responsible to the world for the acts of that body.It is responsible, and it must be held to its responsibility.If \u201cGrit members,\u201d as the Ottawa Citizen says, have signed the round robin, so much the worse for them.All the same, the Government majority is responsible fer the legislation of this Parliament and we are doing ne unfriendly act when we warn the Government majority that its members, and they alone, will be held responsible for the success of this latest attempt at a Salary Grab.A NEW use has been discovered for oyster shells.For years they have been used for the manufacture of lime as manure, for decorative purposes, and in the preparation of a cheap imitation of marble ; but it is now found that they can- uot be better utilized than by being shrown in quantities into the sea, where they make the best possible foundation for new oyster beds.In July and August next many ship loads of these.empt hells will be sunk by British and Frenc s | oyster farmers in various places suitable for the purpose; and a few healthy living oysters will then be drop- ed upon the same spots.Experiments ve proved that under such conditions the bivalves will shortly multiply to an almost incredible extent ; and in so brief à period as two years each empty shell will have from thirty to forty young oysters attached to it.The new generation can be removed to make room for more, and fattened for market in specially constructed tanks.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Le Journal de Quebec strongly urges the necessity of the Province of Quebec being properly represented at several important exhibitions shortly to be held in the United State: and in Europe\u2014 ce.YEsTERDAY, May 6, was the anniversary of the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr.Burke.DEATHS.Maokay\u2014At his residence, Kildinan Hall, 1059 Sherbrooke street, on tlie morning of Sunday, the 6th instant, Edward Mackay, in the 71st year of his age.The funeral will take place Tuesday afternoon, the 8th instant, at 3 o\u2019clock.Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.Met Advertisements.RIZONA.The following is extract from Certificate of Analysis made by PROF.ELLIS, M.B.Public Analyst, Toronto ;\u2014 ¢ This analysis shows that *¢Rizona\u2019 contains all the essential food con- « stituents of rice flour, and hence is much \u201c more nutritious than such preparations \u201c as Arrow-root & Corn-starch, which con- \u201c\u201c siat of little else than starch.\u201d (Signed,) W.H.ELLIS, BaF Sold by all Grocers.May 7 108 à, f GRA AY, The Grand Excursion to San Francisco, The Pacific Coast, British Columbia.A Special Train of First-class Cars to the Pacific Coast from Montreal, FRIDAY, MAY, 18th, 1883, at 8.30 a.m., AT LOWEST EMIGRANT RATES.150 lbs.Baggage free to Omaha;

Sir, every person knows that the great disadvantage under which Canada has lsboured in times gone by was that the United States of America had a eat North-West to attract immigration while Canada has none.Every person who has studied this questiongknows that there is nothing me.c true than the proverb that « Westward the star of Empire wends its way.\u201d Every person knows that the tendency is to go West.Look at the Eastern States of the United States, and what do we find ?Look at this population today compared with what it was long ago, and you find it comparatively stationary, because of the constant drifting to the West that takes place on the Ameri can continent.The sane took place in Canada.The tendency was to go West, and as Canada had no West, they went to the United States.How is it now?Why, Sir, not only is the current westward to the United States stopped, but it is reversed, and now flowing back over the 49th parallel of latitude are the people that went out of our country into the West, and those who have always lived in the United States until some 30,000 of them came here during last year.I say that if this railway had done nothing else than to turn this current of immigration into our own country.and invite ple from across the boundary into our North-West; if it had done nothing else, it would lave accomplished ali that would be necessary to commend it to the judgment and the regard of every patriotic Canadianeduct the floating population out «of the whole of that, and vou have of remaining settlers in the North-West 58,751.But, Sir, that is not all.I (will read as the au- \u2018thority is better than any statement I can make, and I am sure the House will permit we to do =o, I will add one of the most interesting extracts that ever graced the report of a Minister of Agriculture since \u2018Canada was a country.\u201cIt thus appears that the value in money and property as- -Certained as brought by the immigrants into the country in 1832 was $3,171,501, besides a very large amount unascertained \u2018taken into Manitoba, and which it is impossible to approximate.In addition there were the very considerable values in tools, implements and effects.The amount of money taken to Manitoba by intending settlers during 1882 was very considerable and as will be seen by a note at the bottom of this page it was stated by a banker that $8,000,000 were ou deposit in Winnipeg, which sum had been taken in for investment before the middle of the year.Still further capital, no doubt, was brought in after that date, of which no record is available.Part of this was from the older provinces, but having in view the fact that capitalists from Eastern provinces intending to invest in Manitoba or the North- West Territory would probably leave their deposits in their own banks for draft upon them as required, a proportion of three- fourths of the above amount of $8,000,000 may be set to the credit of newly arrived immigrants, and this cash capital, without taking into account the moneys deposited after the date above referred to, would make a total value of cash, goods and effects brought in by immigrants $10,- 000,000 in round numbers in 1832.\u201d Now, Sir, I have given you the figures in relation to the past year, and I draw attention to the fact that a cable appeared in the Globe newspaper from its London corre spondent announcing that the ships sailing that day conveyed 3,000 persons from Li ver ool to the Dominion of Canada, and declaring that that number was double that which ever embarked on any previous day in the history of the country.I need not add a word to a statement of that kind to show the enormous value to this country of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which, as I have said, has been one of the chief factors in changing the position of our country, and ensuring that we may rely on steadily increasing the tide of immigration, becausc the difficulty in immigration is the initial difficulty.Previded you have, as I am proud to say we have, the most inviting country for settlers in the world, all you want is the means of getting people into the country from which they can communicate to their friends the prosperity that has attended them, and you will draw ultimately thousands, tens of thousands and huirdreds of thousands after them.Our advance will thus be in a progressive ratio and we shall have the proud sati=faction of knowing that this garden of the world will be at no; distant day well filled with energetic and enterprising settlers, who will make that hitherto neglected wilderness blossom as the rose.Now I may, perhaps, be permitted with a little personal prideand vanity to allude to the resolutions, which I have the houour to submit, as representing the views of the Government in 1879.I do not intend to read the whole of them, but I will read three of them, as follows :\u2014 \u201c3.Resolved that reports from the mother country set forth an nuprecedented state of enforced idleness of the working classes.and the possibility or a scheme of relief on a large scale being found indispensible to alleviate destitution.\u201c4.Resolved that the construction of the Pacific Railway would afford immediate employment to nwinbers of workmen, and would open vast tracts of fertile land for occupation, and this would form a ready outlet for the over-populated districts of Great Britain and other European countries.' \u201c5.Resolved that it is obvious that it would be of general advantage to find an outlet for the redundant population of the mother country within the Empire, and thus build up flourishing colonies on British soil instead of directing a stream of imuni- ration from England to foreign countries.\u201d Ï need not remind the House that the great difficulty under which Canada laboured was that the United States presented such overwhelming attractions previous to our having a North-West of our own that we were unable to compete witli them in relation to immigration.But I will draw attention to the fact that while hon.gentle men opposite told the people it would be -an idle dream for the Government to suppose they could enlist the Government of ngland in support of our policy, I have the proud satisfaction of knowing that today one of the questions uppermost in the winds of British Statesmen and British Ministers who to-day control the destinies of the Empire, is this question and it is held that a sounder policy could not be -adopted to meet the difficulties of the overpopulated districts in all.of the mother country, whether in Iingland, Ireland, or Scotland\u2014and there are largely over- Populated districts in all of them\u2014than that of immigration.Lord Derby, the able man who now presides over our colonial destinies, publicly declared that England could not appropriate millions of its treasure to etter use than \u2018o send to Canada assisted emi- ration from the over-populated districts of gland.And at last through the various channels and means which never could have been adopted but for the attractions We are able to offer in connection with the Construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the people of England and the press are being brought to understand that there 1S no source to which they can look with more confidence as a relief from their diffi- ustry and energy and by a tithe of the labour which now refuses to give them the common necessaries of life, they may rapidly become, not only successful settlers, not only men who are going to add to the wealth of the country, but a source of power to the Empire instead of a source of the greatest possible weakness.And yet wrth all these facts before him the hon.leader of the Opposition ventured the statement that all the advantages of the Canadian Pacific Railway contract are on one side.Let him turn to Winnipeg for a few moments, let him look at Winnipeg as it was and as it is, before it was vitalized by the vigorous manner in which this Government undertook the work of pushing forward the railway.The hon.gentleman has only to turn to the figures to find the most as tounding facts that are presented in any part of this Continent.Where, I ask, even in the Western States of the Union, can the hon.gentleman show me a single spot, notwithstanding all the advantages they possess, and all the connections they have nade by means of immigrants in the United States and their friends in the ald countries, which presents the evidences of rapid progress and rosperity that Winnipeg presents today?Where is there a spot on this Continent that has urged ahead with such rapidity, strength and energy seen in that city, which is soon to become\u2014which has already become\u2014one of the greatest centres of this country?The populatton in 1871 was 500; in 1881 it had risen to 9,000, and that was largely after 1878, as the hon.gentleman knew.But from 1881 the first of the operations of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, the population went up from 9,000 to no less than 25,000 ina single year; value of assessed property increased from $9,000 to no less than $25,000 in a single year ; the value of property increased from $9,000,000 in 1881.to $30;- 000,000 in 1882.What evidence can be more conclusive of the influence and success of that policy than is to be found in the figures to which I have directed attention.The imports from Great Britain and foreign countries in 1881 were $2,837,431, in 1882 they had risen to $8,223,926, being an increase of $5,295,497, but the amount of increase with our own country is a question in which the people of the older provinces have a lively interest.In addition to the five millions increase of imports from Great Britain and foreign countries, the imports from the older pro- vinees of Canada increased by $12,000,000, making the imports for the little town of Winnipeg, as it was but yesterday, no less than $20,000,000 in a single year.Let us now turn to customs duty, and what do we find?I need not tell the House the material value of every immigrant, that all Canada requires in order to secure material progress and to rapidly wipe out the debt of the country and have a degree of prosperity which will compare favourably with that of any country in the world, is that people shall be more brought into the country and furnished with the means of obtaining profitable employment.The taxes paid into the revenue of the country by every immigrant who comes in makes them an absolute and certain source of wealth.What do the customs returns show?The duties collected in 1879 were $879,255, 1881, $651,892, in 1882, $1,587,327 or an increase for 1882 over 1881 of $935,555, showing nearly one million of an increase and yet my lon.friend hesitates to accept one and a half millions of Credit Valley Railway bonds as security for one million to enable tlie Canadian Pacific Railway Company to prosecute more vigorously the great work An which they are engaged.Not only have wean increase of about one million here in consequence of that contract, but we have at the same time one million absolutely paid into the treasury of this country by themselves or as nearly so as possible in connection with their own works and five millions were expended in building the road in 1882.The deposits in the Government savings banks increased three quarters of a million nearly or $707,922 in 1882 over 1881, and yet the hon.gentleman contends there is no evidence of any benetit accruing to Canada from the contract for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.Does he believe, does any gentleman in this House believe that the history of our country would furnish figures like these to evidence to the world the gigantic strides which we are makin in progress and in prosperity if it had not been for the contract made with the Canadian Pacific Company.I say, Sir, under! these circumstances that we may point tojthat country, that we may point to the development of Winnipeg in this relation.Here, Sir.I want to ask the permission of the House to read an extract from a speech read the other day by Mr.Duncan McArthar.Mr.Duncan McArthur is a practical, clear-headed, able man, who has been engaged for ten years in the city of Winnipeg, as Manager of the Merchants Bank, a position from which he recently retired.The hon.gentleman having concluded a long quotation from Mr.Me- Arthur\u2019s speech, proceeded to say : I may say, Sir, that no gentleman can read that statement, that clear, calm, dispassionate statement which, in every line of it, carries conviction to the mind of every intelligent man without coming to the conclusion that the fears and anxieties of hon.gentlemen opposite had been in the past totally without foundation for that all that is required in order to develope a Greater Britain on this continent with a rapidity that the people of the old world have never been able tojunderstand of appreciate, is to ener- etically go forward in the future as we ave done in the past, and by the policy which we have entered upon in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway give that scope and verge for the new development of that country that it would be Jmpossible to give to it in any other' way.I referred a little while ago, Sir, to the value of branches that were being constructed by the CAnadian Pacific Railway Company.I alluded to the fact that with the exception of the land along their lines from Moose Jaw to the Rocky Mountains they would be obliged to get the balance of their land in the North-West, between the 52nd and 54th parallels of North latitude, and these lands were from 100 to 250 miles distant from the railway.Now, Sir, let me first draw attention to this fact that while the Canadian Pacific Railway Company have been constructing 281 miles of ranches out of their own resources, and while they are engaged in constructing another branch of 110 miles and another of 180 miles in addition to.be built within the next two years.all that we have been able, all that this Government has been able to do in constructing branches through that great and priceless heritage of the North-West by private enterprise has been one branch of 51 miles on the South-Western and another of 30, soon to be 50 miles on the Portage, Westbourne and North-Western.I need not say, Sir, that this is the total amount accomplished, notwithstanding that this Government gave to these companies 6,400 acres of land per mile at $1 an acre along these lines of railway to aid and assist them in the construction of these private branches and here, Sir, | may say that as regards the Portage, Westbcarne and North-West- ern Line as everybo.y knows not a blow would have been struck if it had not been Sir, have we this record of Winnipeg, but going further west, we find Portage La rairie, Brandon, Broadview, Regina, Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat and Calgary, and we find in all these points the nucleus already of thriving, energetic, populous towns rapidly to become large centres of population throughout the district, and giving the nucleus and starting points for the ramification of the population and extension of branches north and south in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway, for the development of that country to an_extent which could not be accomplished in any other way.In the cattle ranches at, the foot of the Rocky Mountains we have been enabled to illustrate and demonstrate the fact to the world that there is no part of the continent of America better adapted to that class of business than our Canadian North-West, into which thousands and teus of thousands of settlers are pouring and supplying, as they still continue to supply, the most important elements in connection with the development of Canada.Now, Sir, I would like to ask my hon.friend with these facts before him whether he is still prepared to reiterate the statement that the advantages in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railroad contract are all to be found on the one side.I do not believe he will.Sir, we are developing not only the agricultural resources of that country, but capitalists are pouring into it to develop its mineral resources.There is one respect in which we stand at a great advantage over any portion of the prairies of the Western States, One respect in which they cannot at all compare with us.It has already been stated, on the highest testimouy, that the fertility of the soil of our portion of the North-West is of the highést, and in one of the most vital elements in building up a great country with rapidity, the Canadian\u2019 North-West has been found to be at a great advantage over the prairies of the Western States, where the absence of this element was found to be a material drawback.I refer to the question in full; I have in my hand the report made by an able, and one who is rapidly becoming a very eminent, man.I refer to Mr.George M.Dawson, who is connected with the \u201cDepartment of the Interior.He says, after describing at length the value of the seams, and the admirable character of the coal in the North-West, Thewccurrence of workable coal seams at several different horizons, and the proved continuity of some of them over great areas guarantee an abundant supply of fuel in this distriet\u2014a matter of great importauce im a country which, over great areas, is almost entirely destitute of wood.The quality of some of the fuel is such as to render them suitable for transport to a distance, and it is doubtless on this belt of coal bearing rocks in the vicinity of the mountains that the railways of the North-West will depend chiefly for their supply.The quantity of coal glready proved to exist is very great.The distance for which the out crops of certain seams have been traced have been mentioned.Approximate estimates of the quantity of coal underlying a square mile of country in several localities have been made with the following results.Main seam in vicinity of coal banks Belly River, coal underlving one square mile, 5,500,000 tons ; Grassy Tsland, Bow River, (a continuation of Belly River main seam), coal underlying one square mile, over 5,000,000 tons ; Horse Shoe Bend, Bow River, coal underlying one square mile, 4,900,000 tons; Black Foot Crossing, workable coal in seam as exposed on Bow River, underlying one square mile 9,000,000.\u201d 1 refer to this in passing to show that in that most important element in the development of a prairie country Canada possesses a great superiority over any portion of the Western States, and it is an element which will have a great deal to do with the future of our country.We have gold, we have cop ber, we have iron mines, which are at- (tracting immense attention at the present moment at the head Lake of Superior to furnish a profitable industry for great numbers of people.In that country, from Prince Arthur\u2019s Landing, all through to the head of Lake Nepigon and Red River, the hum of mining industries is now to be heard, while large amounts of capital are going in to aid in the development of the mineral resources of the country.I now turn the attention of the House for a single monient to another point in this connee- tion and that is the pesition in which the country stands in relation to the land.I will read a short note which was addressed by Mr.Burgess, the able Secretary of the Department of the Interior, to my friend the Speaker of the Senate, who has been | giving this subject his constant and careful attention for a length of time, It was not given me for publication, but 1t expresses the facts of the case so tersely, and 80 much to the point, that I venture to give it to the House: \u2014 ! OTTAWA, 4th May, 1883.Sir,\u2014Having given the subject my best and fullest consideration I estimate that the receipts of thie Department from the sale of agricultural and coal lands, timber dues, rents for grazing lands, and sales of mineral lands other than coal, with the royalties from the minerals between the 1st January, 1883, and 31st December, 1891, both inclusive, will amount to not less than $58,000,000.This note is signed by Mr.Burgess, under whose personal observation and information all these various points come.I give iv to the House as an evidence of the soundness of the statement made by my right hon.friend, the Minister of the Interior, when he told the House, three years ago, that he confidently relied upon the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway being accomplished with-| out its costing one dollar to the people of Canada, as the entire amount required to recoup the Government and the country for their expenditure in zonnection with it would at no distant date be returned by the sale of land, and the revenues derived from lands in the North-West I say that the evidence on that point if very conclusive, I hold in my hands a staiement of the de- artment as to what has taken place.I Rave already given the toal sales of 1872 to 1880 inclusive, and I have shown the utterly insignificant quatity of lands that the Government was alle to dispose of, and the small amount of money they received for them, namely, something\u2019 like 35 cents per acre.I now give from the department the following approximate estimate of the amount due for land time sales and pre-emptio) sales computed from Ist January, 1881,¢0 31st December, 1882, and maturing befere 31st December, 1883, $4,930,000 ; instalments owing by colonization companies to mature with in four years, and assiming that the companies earn the full amount of rebate, $927,150.Companies lave till 30th June, 1883, to complete agreements and to mature within foar yesrs, Land and Colonization Company of Canada, $537,600; Saskatchewan Land Homestead Company, $322,560 ; Temperance Colonization Company, $838,656, or a total for these companies of $1,698,836.Estimated to be received from colmization companies who have till 28/h February, 1883, to pay instalments, $150000; ground rents on timber leases, $4165; owing at Winnipeg timber offce, $2,600; estimated amount owing by Canadin Pacific Railway Comany at Winnipeg office, $20,000, or a total that my hon.friend, the leader of the Opposition, not only took great exceptions to the statement, but pronounced it so absolutely beyond any possible conception as to entirely discredit, so far as that hon, gentleman was able to discredit, the prediction and the computation which the right hon.gentleman made, We estimated that by the time the Canadian Pacific Railway contract was to be completed under the terms of the contract, we would receive not merely the $53,000,000 we were going to pay in connection with the construction of that work, but that we would receive about $60,000,000, or a considerable amount over and above the entire expenditure we were called upon to make in connection with the construction of the road.In order to show the House how thoroughly reliable and within the mark that calculation is, I will givethe calculation made by my right hon.friend and communicated to the House as our estimate two years ago, when it was very much discredited by hon.gentlemen opnosite, and I will also give the resuit.The Minister of the Interior estimated that in 1882 there would be an incoming population of 35,080; the actual immigration of settlers into the North-West was 58,751.I am almost afraid, Sir, of discrediting my right hon.friend by reading these figures, because you will find how incapable he is of making an accurate calculation ; he estimated that the revenue to be derived from Dominion lands for the year 1882 would be $781,000; the actual revenue for the calendar year was $2,256,000.My right hon.friend estimated for the year 1883 40,000 as the increase of population, and my hon.friend, the Minister of Agriculture, estimated this increase of population at 75,000, and I think that will be below the mark.as previous estimates.have been.My right hon.friend estimates the revenue to be derived from the lands in 1883 at $1.820,000.The present estimate is $2,750,000, with every evidence that that will be under the mark.My right hon.friend estimated the increase of population of 1884 at 45,000, a much smaller estimate it will be seen than the actual increase of 1882.My hon.friend the Minister of Agriculture estimates it at 100,000.My right hon.friend estimates the receipts at $2,622,- 000, and I have no doubt that we shall receive that year $4,250,000.I give these figures as the evidence upon which I think we may confidently ask the Hoube to accept our estimates as being altogether below instead of above the fnark, and I ask my hon.friend the leader of the Opposition again whether, with these figures, I am not warranted in the statement I make in relation to everything connected with the Canadian Pacific Railway contract that down to the present hour the most sanguine calculations that any gentleman on this side has ventured to offer to the House or the: country.have been more than realized, and I ask wy hon.friend whether he will reiterate the statement to this House, if he does I am, sure it will be incredulous on both sides of the House, that all the advantages of this contract are to be found on one side.Now, Sir, I will say a single word before I sit down with reference to the net debt of the country Every person knows that when the Government came down to the House aud asked it to sustain them in the policy of vigorously grappling with the construction of a Canadian Pacific Railway from end to end, a wail of dismay was set up on the other side of the House and every one remembers the utter ruin and destruction that was going to result to Canada from the attempt on the part of the Government within any reasonable period to construct that great railway.Everybody remembers the warning the solemn warning, that my hon.friend the leader of the Opposition gave to the rlousethat in that ruin we were going to destroy the very foundation of our country\u2019s prosperity.He admitted with us that the greatest thing for Canada was to bring people into the country but he said \u201c You will load this country down with a debt so gigantic in proportion to its u- lation that everybody wiil avoid Canadaas they would a pestilence and our immigration will cease.\u201d 1 am glad, Sir, to be able under tliese circumstances to draw the attention of the House for a single moment to a calculation made by my hon.friend the Minister of Finance, and we all know how far below the mark all his calculations have been, how careful he has been nt to overstate anything, as to the condition which this country will be in with respect to its debt when the time comes under the contract for the completion of the Canada Pacific Railway.I may state, and I do so, with one year\u2019s ex.erience which we have had already of the acific Railway contract.We have had one year in which my hon friend, the leader of the Opposition, says the Canadian Pacific Railway have gone too fast to have had one year of unprecedented rapidity of construction and.of draft on the treasury of the country for public money under the contract, and what has that year disclosed?Why, Sir, at the close of thal year after we had paid them every dollar that they were entitled to with all that rapidity of construction we actually owed #1,731,129 less than we did at the beginning of the ear.The net debt of the Dominion.The net debt of the Dominion.The net debt on the 30th of June, 1881, at the beginning of the contract was $155,395,780.40, on 30th June, 1882, it was $153,661,650.78, or, as I said before, a decrease of $1,734, 129,82.So much for the ruin that was to overtake this country by the construction of a Canadian Pacific Railway.Now, Sir, my hen.friend, the Minister of Finance, has given me a memorandum showing that at the conclusion of construction under the contract there will probably be an aggregate of proceeds from the sale of land and from surplus of revenue of $63,693,251.With that calculation before us, and I think all will admit that it is a safe calculation, I think we may come to the conclusion not only that our country will not be overwhelmed in debt, but that we shall be in the position that the Imperial Government are to-day.Mr, Childers has brought forward his budget, and in it he has very much astonished hon.gentlemen opposite Y a proposal to reduce the national debt by £8,000,000 a year.It was reduced last year by £8,000,000, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to reduce it this in by £8,000,000 ; so my hon.friend the inister of Finance proposes to reduce our debt.Some propose to use these decreases not for the construction of a Canadian Pacific Railway, mark you, but for the reduction \u2018of the public debt.That when this work is constructed from end to end there will not only be no increased indebtedness upon Canada, but at an early day the sales of the lands alone will return back to the treasury of the country every dollar that has been expended.But what will be the difference ?Why the difference will be that instead of being overwhelmed with debt, instead of immigrants who are locking to our shores as a future home being driven to seek\u2019 other.lands because we are borne down by a monstrous debt that we are unable to cou- trol\u2019 or provide for, the hon.gentleman will find that we shall have in this country reduced the debt, and at the same time a little over four millions of people will have accomplished one of the most gigantic feats in the record of any country in the world, the construction of a Canadian Pa- of $7,745,731 ; ant add to this cash received cific Railway from ocean to ocean.1 feel statement which he made and will come to the conclusion that the statement that ail the advantages were to be found on one side requires some little modification at his hands.(Hear, hear.) I may say, Sir, that it would be impossible.in my judgment to find any country in the world that hes exhibited greater evidences of progress and prosperity during the time that we have been engaged in actively grappling with the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway than Canada presente, take it from: whet point yoa may.spoke a little while ago of the great advantage the United States of America had in regard to attracting population to their country, but what is the fact?Here in this Canada of ours we have been able, in connection with the construction of this great national work and with the efforts that lave been made through that compény and the Governinent ef the country, to increase the immigration from Europe 50 per cent., while our neighbours (the United States) have been only able to attract an immigrant population of 3} per cent.The tables are turned.Every per son knows that the eyes of the civilized world have for many long years been turned to the wonderful development of the great country south of us, every person knows that there never was à country that has made such progress as Canada has made in regard to the sentiment of the people, the press and the Government of England.he position Canada occupied yesterday has been entirely changed, and to-day the statesmen, the press and the most intelligent minds of that country are drawing the attention of the people to the fact that the wide world presents no -more inviting or attractive field for those who wish to seek homes in the new world than is to be found within the Dominion of Canada.We have every reason LD feel proud of our position when we look at the rapidity of the increase of.dur population, at the imports of thé country, at the exports of the country, dnd at the increasing and developing industries of the country.We are prepared to-da boned to the south of us in friendly rivalry, aud to shew thatin neither one nor the other of these great factors of the development and of the progress of the country are we behind (cheers).Now, Bir, I have trespassed upon the attention of the House much longer than I intended to, dnd if I were to judge by the futility of m# Éfforts in the past, 1 would sit down without say- in side of the House.\u201d I have already stated, Sir, that looking at it from a party point of view, nothing could be more conducive to the continued rule of the Conservative party of thiscountry than that hon.gentlemen opposite should continue to maintain the attitude that they have maintained in the past in relation to this great work.I have said, Sir, that I sincerely believe that there is no question that is so rooted IR the public mind of the great body of the intelligent men of all parties and all classes in this country as the conviction that thie Government of Canada deserves well at the hands of the people for havin put their hands.to this great work, an or having achieved a contract under which\u2019 our country is surging ahead with such gigantic progress.But, Sir, there is a greater, there is a higher, there is a more Important standpoint from which to view this question than one of party.Even at this late hour I would ask our friends on the opposite side of the House, notwithstanding the great advantage it will take from us, I ask them to bury the dead past, and to unite with us on the greatest national question that is now engaging the attention of thie people of Canada, to unite with us in hearty endeavours to elevate, to country together, as it can only be elevated and only advanced and only raised by the united sympathy and hearty action and co-operation of both parties.\"I feel thal it is more in the interest of hon.gentlemen opposite than in the interest of my friends that! make this preposition; but, Sir, I believe that the time is coming when, with the evidence before the world, the evidence that we have achieved a position, achieved sanguine dared two or three years ago to dream of achieving at an early day.With this evidence I believe that the time is coming when every patriotic Canadian is bound to unite heart and soul with all the energy that he possesses in a common effort, sinking the past and take hold of this gigantic enterprise, and to make it acliieve and accomplish all for our people that it is calculated to accomplish.(Loud applause.) : SATURDAY\u2019S SITTING.Orrawa, May 5.The Speaker took the chair at 3.20.SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES.\u2018À message was received from His Excelleacy the Governor-General submittin the supplementary estimates for the fisca year ending 30th June, 1883.THREE RIVERS HARBOUR MASTER.Mr.BOWELL moved for leave to intro- dude a bill respecting the Harbour Master of the Harbour of Three Rivers.He explained that the objects of the bill was to give the power to the Harbour Board of l'hree Rivers to appoint a Harbour Master who was formerly appointed by the Government.\u2018The motion was carried and the bill was read a first time.;

in New Brunswick, between Fredericton and Bay Verte, 120 miles, $384,- 000; in New Brunswick, between Bay Verte and Pugwash, $128,000; in Cape Breton, between Canso and Sydney, or Louisburg, 80 miles, $64,000 per mile.As the cost of construction will there be more than double the other portion specified, $572,000.The Company also ask for $182,000 in aid of the railway to Cape North; a liberal subsidy for the carriage of the mails, and free running powers over such portions of the Intercolonial Railway as they may require to use.THE G.T.R.AND N.8.COMPANIES, In the Senate Mr, Vidal\u2019s motion to suspend the rules prohibiting the introduction of the bill to extend the agreement between the Grand Trunk and the North Shore Railway Companies for fifty years, was carried, and the bill will come up for its second reading on Tuesday next.CHARGES FOR THE \u201c NEWFIBLD\"\u2019 ASSISTING THE \u201c MORAVIAN.\u201d Mr.Bowe'l laid before the House today copies of correspondence between the late Sir Hugh Allan and the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, in reference to five days\u2019 service rendered by the Government steamer \u201cNewfield\u201d in connection with the wrecked steamer \u201cMoravian\u201d in December, 1881.At the request of Sir Hugh the \u201cNewfield\u201d was despatched from Halifax to aid the \u201cMoravian,\u201d the former agreein, to pay $500 per day for suc service.On the 6th January Sir Hugh wrote to the Deputy Minister of Marine, stating the \u201cNewfield\u201d had rendered no service, and that he hoped the Government would not exact the $500 a day agreed upon.He remarked that the British Government did all such services free, and that he did not think it a very great stretch of liberality if the Dominion Government should give the services of the \u201cNewfield\u201d for nothing.Indeed, he expected to receive them for ing.In reply, the Deputy Minister sent to Sir ugh an account for $2,290 for expenses actually incurred by the \u201c Newfield\u201d in going to the \u201cMoravian\u2019s \u201d aid, stating that while the Government could not forego their claim, they would knock off $500.On the 6th March, Sir Hugh wrote again, contending that the Government should not use their steamers with a view to making a profit on them, and that it was not usual for Governments to make any charge rendered to vessels in distress.At all events, the \u201cMoravian\u201d was a mail steamer, and practically in the service of the Government, and the Canadian Government should not be the first to attempt to make a profit out of the misfortunes of vessels in distress.The Government seem to have allowed the matter to drop; no answer was made to Sir Hugh\u2019s last letter, and no payments have been made.PERSONAL.The Hon.Alexander Mackenzie leaves for Toronto to-morrow, amd will take | of passage for England about the 16th inst.TIMBER LIMITS SOLD.It is reported that a firm who secured a timber limit in the North-West sold some time ago from the Government for a trifling consideration, have just disposed of their interest to a company of lumbermen for $400,000.SUPPRESSION OF SEDITIOUS ASSOCIATIONS, It is probable that the bill.introduced in the Senate for the suppression of seditious and other unlawful associations will be dropped;

thought by many Irishmen out of wor that by going to the Consul with informa- n concerning conspirators that they might get money.The report that Sheridan and {Walsh had been arrested is unfounded, WasHINGTON, May 5.\u2014Mr.Davis, assistant Secretary of State, is quoted as saying : \u201cI will not deny the matter of extraditing Tynan, Walsh and Sheridan has been brought to the attention of the State Department by the English Government.The question has been fully talked over by Ae.Frelinghuysen and ethers who are fully aware even now of what steps will be taken, but no information will be given to the press until the President and Secretary hold a final conference and decide what is to be done.\u201d LonpoN, May 5.\u2014Authoritative information coming as directly as possible from the Foreign Office says that the Government has never asked the Washington Government to interfere with the dynamite plotters in America despite the sceres of statements which have been made to that effect.The reasons given are very simple.The State Department at Washington without any solicitation on the part of the English Government expressed a willingness to test by State or National law the possibility of bringing charges of conspiracy against some of the dynamite lotters.The test case will probably be rought in New York.The decision to make no request was reached deliberately by Earl Granville, and the correspondence of the most friendly sort was begun and ended by the State Department at Washington.It is the opinion of our own Foreign office that anything like a formal demand at present would be much more likely to hamper the Executive Department at Washington, in their efforts to deal with the Irish conspirators, especially in the matter of possible extraditions, than to do good.Other prudential reasons are also hinted at, which may come out in a day or two.a [LATEST TELEGRAMS.) \u2018Murder of Lord Leitrim.DusLiN, May 5\u2014A man named Kinsella confessed to police in

National League of America, who was met by a storm of applause, began his address by referring to the matters in his personal career which have been commented upon.We had anew national organization of Irishmen.He said the Philadelphia Convention was essentially an American body.He contended that the Philadel- \u2018phia platform had secured the enthusiastic approval of the entire American press without a notable exception, and had won for Ireland, to a degree hitherto un- attained.the sympathy of mankind.Yet, said the speaker, such ds the condition of Ireland to-day, that if such a platform were put forth by a similarly constituted form the entire assemblage would bave been marched, under military escort, from the Convention Hall to the jail.The platform declares, in a word, that henceforth the Irish race in exile is a unit in its determination to aid their countrymen in their struggle for self- government, by whatever methods they think best for the achievement of their end.Hedeclared the purpose of carrying out the wishes of the Convention was to make the masses of the American people informed as to the truth about Ireland.When they understood the reasonableness of her claim they would be united in their support and their will, properly expressed, the power of the British Emire could not withstand.In conclusion e said when Ireland has self government she will use her own capital to create manufactures.She will then export only her surplus food, and what manufactured articles her people need they will import from; America or some other friendly people.It is said her representatives have never proposed any definite plan of self government.Much indeed would their candour have availed, in a foreign legislature, from which they have repeatedly been expelled whenever they attempted to compel its attention to the wants of their country, but we shall print a record of the bills which the Irish members offered that bedy, only to see them contemptuously thrown out, generally without \u2018the poor compliment of a second reading.ericans who read the record will have a new appreciation of the necessity of giving Ireland a Legislature of her own.The attendance was not as large as usual.A number of societies were present in uniforms, and also many prominent persons, including members of the State Judiciary and the Mayor.Judge Thos.Moran presided.In accepting the chair, he pointed to the fact of the inability of Ireland to acquire relief through the agency of the English Parliament, and spoke of the unfair representation granted to the Irish people by that body.He asserted that the only hope for Ireland lay in the sentiment which will eventually actuate the entire American nation, and which will compel England to give Ireland favourable legislation.Mayor Harrison said i freedom would have to be won on this side of the Atlantic, not by throwing bombs, but by the force of American opinion.Congressman Davis said the honest sentiment of America was irresistibly with Ireland in her struggle for liberty; but he warned his hearers that any atteropt to organize a rebellion on this side of the ocean to be carried on, by indirect methods, would alienate the sympathies of this people.NEw York, May 5\u2014The newly-elected Council of the Irish National League of America have made arrangements with Thomas Brennan to organize branches of the new League in the United States.Committee to go to Ireland.PHILADELPHIA, May 6.\u2014At a meeting of the Parnell branch of the Irish League this afternoon a resolution was adopted recommending the Executive Committee of the National League to appoint a commission of three or five Americans to go to Ireland to ascertain the true condition of the country.John F.Fitiherty®s Report.Curcaco, May 6.\u2014At a meeting of the Sixth Ward Land League, to-day, John F.Finnerty, delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, made his report.He said he went to the Philadelphia Convention to do his duty regardless of the political unpopularity it might entail.The result was he has been misrepresented by the Eastern press, which classed him with the dynamite faction.He favoured supporting Parnell and would not antagonize the new League.Irishmen must rather suffer injustice than have the English Government believe they are not in harmony.People who

is better equipped with evidence extradition will be refused.He advised withholding the demand for extradition until the Government case is strengthened by further evidence.It is understood that he informed the British Minister at Washington that all the evidence will be sent to him, and that he shall submit the case to American counsel, and if they advise it to thereupon ask the United States to deliver up the men.DYNAMITE.Labour Reform League.New York, May 6.\u2014A score of men and women attended the Convention of the American Labour Reform League today.R.W.Hume presided.E.H.Heywood
