oil from Newfoundland are admitted free and hitherto no customs duty has been imposed upon the packages, but recently a duty of 20 per cent.has been claimed by the customs authorities here.These packages are the product of this country, and are returned not to compete with similar productions, but to contain the articles which are free under our tariff.Though a liberal interpretation of the law may justify such a course it seems strange that the packages should be subject to duty when without the packages it would be impossible to bring in these oils free or in any other way.Thereis no doubt that the matter only requires to be brought under the attention of the Government to receive a sensible and judicious solution.FINANCIAL, The course of the money market during the week has presented no important feature overthe preceding week.There has not been that activity in the general trade and commerce of the country so far aste call for any excessive accommodation on the part of commercial borrowers, Unfortunately the weather has been so to speak unpropitious for any great mowe- ment of goods, and the reports concerning the crops are not as favourable as was anticipated.These factors have unquestionably some bearing upon the dullness which for the moment exists in mercantile circles, and which can only be temporary.The influx of thousands of immigrants and ofa well-to-do class will soon put in motion every department of trade and infuse new life into ail the markets, The rates of distount remain firm and unchanged at 63@74 for gilt edge paper and à higher for less desirable and 6@64 on call loans on stock collaterals.The local Stock Exchange continues very inactive and sluggish.The \u201cbears\u201d are in the majority and so far have the best of the little campaign, but rumours are afloat that the apparent indifference of the \u201cbulls [is done for an object, and that the! \u201cbears\u201d may, when they least expect it, \u2018be caught napping.It-does not require :any second-sight to notice that the sup- limited description, in consequence of it \u2018being generally accepted \u2018that prices are \u2018too inflated at present.The

It was known, for what reason he could not say, that the great .North-West had never presented the attraction co their Lower Canadian friends that it had to the great Province of Ontario and the other Provinces.Either from some indisposition to go far from home, or for some other reason, theïgreatest unwillingness had been shown by the inhabitants of the old Province of Quebec to leave their own Province, and when they did leave it, they went as short a distance as possible, and that took them across the boundary to the south, and made them citizens of the United States.If this great fertile section of country lying to the north of Ottawa, \u201c with unlimited resources in the way of forests, would thus be opened up with its magniticent lumber resources, with a soil capable of giving the most abundant returns to those who cultivated it, with èu- ormous mineral resources, the development of which was calculated to produce great national as well as local wealth, he was satisfied that the House would consider, with the information they possessed as to the two lines, the Gatineau Valley Railway running l27 :miles to.the north from the Hull station, with a branch to the Gatineau, and the road from St.Jerome intersecting the former in the interior of the country, on fa line intended to be ultimately extended to the Mattawan, that these two subsidies of $3,200 a \u2018mile for fifty miles .of each, would be a wise appropriation of public money.The experience of the last few years had given abundant proof that there as no section of this country that they could assist in developing that would more effectually accomplish the end of keeping in the Province of Quebee that portion of its population which would be disinclined to 20 to the Great North-West, and might find attractions in the country to the south fit.He nead a extract from a communi- fain from the Montreal & Western Rail- Way Co., which, he said, applied with -egual force to the Gatineau Valley Railway, declaring that the country it traversed was as good as any in the Province of Quebec.The Rev.Father Labelle, who was well-known to many members of the House as a patriot of the finest type-(hear, hear), as one of those whole-souled enthusiasts who threw himsalf into any work he undertook, in such a way 4s to inapire confidénce in those with whom he eame in æontact, had devoted the last few years of his life in peopling this large and valuable Section - of country.He believed he had taken 10,000 people, within the last few years, into this previouely unknown country, and these people were making prosperous and happy homes, in what was recently a wilderness.When Father Labelle had colonized one outpost he went on to another, but now he had reached a point where he found that a railway was absolutely necessary for the successful prosecution of the work in which he was engaged, and he (Sir Charles Tupper) be- -pleted road from Truro.to Pictou for the \u2018should be given an advantage over an- lieved there was not a gentleman in this House to whom a work of that kind would not commend itself, and who would nov regard it as of the greatest importance to Canada that a country of such maguificent resources should be developed, as only railwav communication could develop it.It was believed that the proposed small subsidy, with the assistance given by the Province of Quebec, would be suiticient to open up that section and out of the untrodden wilderness of a few years ago create a country that would compare very favourably with our existing Provinces.It would be impossible to appropriate $300,- 000 in a way more advantageous to the country, and more calculated to promote the development and secure the retention of our own population, as well as provide a field for those immigrants who might come from abroad, and convert the wilderness into a garden.[Applause.] It was also proposed to give the Great American and European Short Line Railway Company a similar subsidy for 80 miles, from Canso to Louisburg, or Sydney.This would complete the inter-oceanic system of railway communication, on which we had spent so much money, from Port Moody, on the shores of the Pacific to the easternmost port in the Dominion, at Louisburg, which was 200 miles nearer to Liverthan: Halifax.This would give near- an air-line from the west, by way of the rand Trunk and International Railways, through the State of Maine to New Brunswick.They did not desire to see our winter port at Boston or Portland, and this line would make the distance to St.Andrews, or St.John, N.B., such that the distance by that route, from Montreal to Liverpool, would be shorter than by way of Boston or Portland.À subsidy was proposed to the International railway of $3,200 a mile, for forty-nine miles, to enable them to complete that linlk in the inter-oceanic system, and thus establish the winter terminus of the Canadian railways in our own territory.The late Government had granted a subsidy towards the construction of a road towards the Island of Cape Breton, and had handed over the com- sarne purpose, but it was now believed to be, wise to extend that policy, #0 as to se- gure the cometamction -of the remaining road through Cape Breton to the ort of Louisburg.The Miramichi Valley ailway was projected from Fredericton to the Intercolonial at the Miramichi, and a subsidy of $3,000 a mile had been granted by the New Brunswick Government \u20acor the whole distagee.He proposed that this Government grant $3,200 a mile for 32 miles,of that distance, to form a branch of the Intercolonial: A similar subsidy was proposed for the line from the Intercolonial at Peticodiac to Havelock Corner, a distance of 12 miles.In these lines the Government were following the policy of their predecessors, who gave the rails for any line which was constructed as a branch of the Intercolonial.He had supported that policy, as they all acknowledged the wisdom of encouraging the construction of feeders to that in a great extent national work.The Napanee, Tamworth and Quebec Railway was intended to connect the Bay of Quinte with the Ontario and Quebec Railway, und the Government, after an inspection by their engineer, felt they would be justified à asking for a subsidy of $3,200 a mile, to enable the company to lay the 28 miles they had constructed, with steel rails.The subsidy, which was asked for:25 miles of the Quebec and Lake St.John Railway, was owing to his having mistaken the distance, when asking for the vote last year, for the road from St.Raymond to Lake St.John.This road would aiso not only open up a fertile section, but would be a very im- rtant feeder of the Intercolonial at Que- Pec.The last subsidy proposed was $6,000 a mile, for a railway from Gravenhurst to Callendar, a distance of 110 miles, \u2018in addition to the subsidy granted last year, for the same purpose.The leader ef the late Government had declared his policy to be to subsidize lines to connect the Canadian Pacific Railway with the Ontario and Quebec Railway systems, and this subsidy was intended fulfil the pledge given by that hon.gentleman.He did not believe that any gentlemen in the House would not say that this was not only fair and just, but was essential to the proper development of the North-West by providing the shortest possible means of communication between the North-West and the commercial centres of Toronto and Hamilton.He might be told that the Government had an offer practically from the Grand Trunk to construct this line tor the subsidy of $6,000 a mile granted last year, but the Government had decided to \u2018ask for the additional subsidy in order to secure the construction of the line as an independent link in the system.Thig would secure the immediate competition of this important connecting link, and the Government would not give a dollar \u2018of the sub- gidy, unless they secured either that this line should be maintained for ever as an independent line, or that when it ceased to be independent the subsidy should be the first lien on the road constructed, and also the first security oa any road with which it might be incorporated.He had every confidence that the resolutions would be felt to be justified in the best interests of the country and to be likely to lead to the advancement of its commerce, the development of its trade and the increase of its revenue (applause).; Mr.BLAKE 5m lained that the information on*which the Government had acted had not been laid before the House.Without it he felt himself unable to pronounce upon the hon.gentleman\u2019s proposals.The construction of the shorter lines to the seaboard would make the position of the future Minister of Rallways an unenviable one.In regard to the revenue of the Intercolonial Railway, which, if the prognostications of the hon.gentleman were fulfilled, would | be limited to that derived from the way traffic, he agreed with the hon.gentleman that more railways would- benefit the country, but under the federal system of Government they had no business to grant aid to purely local enterprises.He referred to some of the proposals briefly, and in reference to the road from Gravenhurst to Callendar contended that no one company other, but the country should receive the full benefit of the expenditure, by a really independent control of the neutral link, and the arrangement ef the tolls in such a way that the country should receive the benefit of a road practically built at the country\u2019s expense.He hoped the papers would be brought down forthwith.Messrs.Rykert, Burpee, (Bunbury) and Ross, (Middlesex) also spoke upon the \u2018question.Lo \u2018Tt being six o\u2019clocle the Speaker left tHe

reported from the Committee of Supply.The ::ouse adjourned at 12.20 a.m.NOTICES OF MOTION.Mr.McCarthy will move the following amendment to the bill to amend the Consolidated Railway Act: And whereas it is expedient that a railway Company should be enabled to vary the tolls upon the railway, 50 as to accommodate them to the circumstances of the traffic, but that such power of varying should not be used for the purpose of prejudicing or favouring particular parties, or for the purpose of collusively and unfairly creating a monopoly, either in the hands of the Company, or of particular parties, therefore it shall be lawful for the Company, subject to the provisions and limitations herein, and in their special act contained from time to time to alter or vary the tolls by the special act authorized to be taken either upon the whole or upon any particular portions of the railway, as the shall think fit, provided that al such tolls be, at all times, charged equally to all persons, and after the same rate, whether per ton, per mile, or otherwise, in respect of al passengers and of all goods, or carriages of the description, and conveyed, or propelled by a like carriage, or engine, passing only over the same portion of the lines of rail way under the same circuinstances, and no reduction, or advance in any such tolls, shall be made either directly, or indirectly, in favour or against any particular company or person travelling upon or uging the railway.Sir L.Tilley, on Saturday next, will move Committee of the Whole, to consider the following resolution : That it is ex- ient to authorize the Governor- in-Couneil to raise by debentures, in the manner prescribed by the Act 36 Victoria, chap.60 (except as to the rate of interest which shall not exceed four per cent.per annum), a further sum not exceeding $900,000 to be advanced to and applied by the Montreal Harbour Commissioners from time totime, in meeting the expenses to be incurred by them in completing the dredging and deepening of the ship channel of the River St.Lawrence between Montreal and Quebec to the depth of 273 feet at low water, subject to the condition that the payment of the said sum to the Commissioners shall not commence unless, nor until the Governor-in-Council shall be satisfied by such examination and report as shall be deemed sufficient that the said work can be completed for a sum

St.John,N.B., commenced the celebration of the hundredth: anniversary of its natal day; and a moment after midnight the booming of cannou announced that the commercial metropolis of the Province had entered upon the second cemtury of its existence.The citizens assembled en masse at the Centenary Methodist church, and held what resembled à \u201c watch-night service,\u201d seeing the old century out and the new century in, the Lieut.-Governor, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Province and other prominent personages taking part in the: interesting proceedings.\u201d To-dayunless the original programme has been changed\u2014there will bo an imitation of \u201cthe Landing of the Loyalists\u201d one hundred years ago.At an early hour a sailing craft of some kind will enter the harbour and proceed.to the landing place of 1783, and out of the vessel will pour the representatives of the men and women of \u201cye olden time.\u201d There will then be a general street procession and a firemen\u2019s procession, the fire companies of the principal cities and towns of the Maritime | Provinces being represented ; a public oration in the afternoon, and a torchlight procession with abundant fireworks at night.Altogether, St.John will enjoy a,gala day in honour of the Loyalist founders of the city, and in her public rejoicing she will have the kindly sympathy of her sister cities of Canada and the \u201cGod speed\u201d of all true and loyal Canadians wherever their hemes may be: Doubtless, when St.John\u2019s orator\u2014 the erudite and accomplished Judge Wedderburn, himself a descendant of the United Empire Loyaliste\u2014discourses to-night on the city\u2019s past he will recall facts and incidents in the city\u2019s history of a varied character \u2014 some pleasing, some disheartening, seme hopeful, but all pregnant with lessons which, if carefully noted and applied, would be of incalculable advantage not to St.John alone, but to any or all of our Canadian cities.He will probably tell how the Loyalists, driven from the United States Republic, found St.John a barren reck and turned it into a commercial enfrepot ; how many of its early inhabitants, men and women of refinement and education, were obliged, through the confiscation ef their property in the country they had left, to perform labours and make a painful struggle for existence, to which they were but badly adapted ; how in later times storm after storm of commercial disaster burst upon the place ; how fires have ravaged it, not in 1877 alone, but on twenty eventful occasions ; how many of its leading citizens, having accumulated wealth in commerce in St.John, abandoned the place and sought a congenial social atmosphere in England ; and how, by the great fire disaster of 77, the city and its people were thrown into what appeared at the moment to be irretrievable confusion and ruin, Bub the eloquent orator will also be enabled to point to St.John as a city which has bravely borne all its trials, and again and again emerged smiling from a sea of tribulation ; which took fresh heart after every period of commercial depression, and proceeded courageously on its way ; which has given to the world its finest sailing ships, and possesses one of the largest fleets that are owned by the world's great ports.He -can speak of St.John as the home of honourable and far sighted merchants, \u2014of the owners of extensive fleets whose relations with the commercial world bring them in contact with every form of trade and the representatives of every civilized country,\u2014of men and- women distinguished for hospitality, benevolence and the Christian graces, qualities which many of them have inherited from their Loyalist forefathers.He oan correctly state that where, at the mouth of the St.John river, there were, prior to the landing of the Loyalists, but a handful of inhabitants, there are now over fifty thousand English speaking people, forming one of the most intelligent, industrious and enterprising communities to be found in America EE CANDIDATES FOR THE ASYLUM.A few weeks ago the Grand Jury in their presentment to Mr.Justice Ramsay strongly reflected upon the system in existence which rendered it possible for people charged with being insane to be kept for weeks, perhaps, nionths, in the common gaol, among the worst of characters, to await the convenience of the medical men, whose duty it was to ascertain whether their condition was such as to render it necessary that they be placed in safer keeping.His Honour endorsed the observations of the Grand Jurors, whose recommendations, if they have not been acted upon, the authorities are very much to blame.We know how necessary=\u2014at -least professional and practical experience have demon: strated it\u2014itis that if anything of a curative character is to be successful with lunatics, it should be adopted and applied at once, but detention in surroundings such as those of a gaol cannot but have the worst effects, and perhaps convert a morbid sentimentality into something much more nearly approaching that lunacy for which detention is prescribed, if not asa curative agent, as a mischief preventative.Statistics which have from time to time been published amply demonstrate how great a number of weak- winded people exist among us.We cannot afford to have their ranks recruited to any greater extent than is absolutely unavoidable.Yet our practice has been calculated.to bring about the very worst results.An Australian doctor, of the name of Tucker, has bean recently visiting this continent, his missien being that of looking into the inner working of insane asy- lems.Ho is a man of no small experience on this subject, which he has made his specialty, and though here in his individual capacity is armed with credentials from his own Government.His enquiries all over the world have led him to conclude that there is less violent madness and more melancholic insanity with suicidal tendencies than there used to be; that 60 er 70 per cent.of the patients in American asylums are of foreign birth, According to him the proper system of commitment is that there should be two physicians\u2019 certificates, approved by a judge of the Supreme Court, and that each case should be reported on within twenty-four hours by the superintendent at the head of the department, and an opinion.on the case be sent after three days and within seven days to tho same authority.He further urged, and his remarks apply to Canada as well as to the United States, for with one exception he has visited every asylum on the continent, that there should be a more thorough system of inspec- tion\u2014official as well as by the public \u2014the visitors being such as would not pass by any inmate who might desire to talk to them.He thought that in no institution should there be more than three hundred patiente, inasmuch as where there were more their individuality was lost to the superintendent, and thereby one element of hope eliminated frem their cases.This opinion he supported by the remark that the percentage of cures in smaller asylums was greater than in the larger.This is a condemnation of our great Canadian institutions, such for instance as the Beauport establishment, with which the Provincial Government has recently concluded a mew contract.Having described some of the horrors with which he had been brought face to face to face, he paid the following tribute to one of our Canadian institutions: \u2014 \u201cI have seen 250 patients dining together in one room in the Hamilton asylum, in Torento\u2014an institution that, taken in all, ie probably æhead of any other in the country.\u201d ECCLESIASTICAL DISESTABLISHM ENT.Recent British telegrams give a full account of a meeting of British Liberationists on the 3rd instant.Spurgeon wrote :\u2014\u201cI am convinced that the liberation eof religion from State patronage and control would be the end of innumerable evils and the commencement of a happier era.No one would now propose an established church, if it did not exist.I am a liberationist, because I am a Christian.God can maintain His own cause in the land without the aid of legislatures, lords or kings.Those who believe in their own religion know this.\u201d John Bright said:\u2014\u201c In 1683 there were in England 4,000 members of my sect {Friends] in prison, and 400 died from confinement.Up to 1686, 15,000 Quaker families had been ruined by England through persecution by James II., and 5,000 Friends died in prison.These cruelties were done in the name of the Established Church.The bishops of the Church of England have seldom aided legislation in the interest of humanity.About 1780, the bill abolishing the death penalty for petit larceny was defeated in the Lords by THE MONTREAL HERALD, 31 to 11, and six of the majority were bishops aud one ah archbishop.U to the reign of George I.67 offences were punishable.with death in England.The bishops of the English Church, instead of, like Christians, endeavouring to lessen the number, did nothing to prevent its increase, and by the end of the reign of George IIL 154 new offences were added to the list punishable with death.During this time the church had 15,000 to 20,000 ministers and more than a score of bishops in the Lords, none of whom raised a voice against the growing barbarity of the law.So it came that Voltaire said that the English were the only people who were murdered by law.During the agitation for the abolition of the slave trade, Lord Eldon,who was Lord Chancellor, was supported by the bishops in the pesition he took, that he did not believe the slave trade was so opposed tn the spirit of Christianity or it would \u2018not have been so general as it was, There is no evidence in English history that the established clergy have ever favoured the great referms which hava illustrated our history.For 200 years the blood of Englishmen had been poured out in unchristian wars 80 mercilessly that it had spread all over the globe without any opposition from the church, The late archbishop of Canterbury, instead of wielding his great influence to prevent the late Egyptian war, one the most criminal in history, officially ordered a prayer of his own composition to be said in all the established churches for those Englishmen who fell for their country, although he had no prayefs ten to one Englishman\u2014in the really patriotic struggle to keep out of their native land the invaders, who came to kill them for being unable to pay usury to English bondholders.The church for 500 years has always upheld and prayed for the potentate, no matter what his policy, and the business of an established church seems to be principally that.- The disestablishment of the church, if it did nothing else, would help the people by depriving the king of one chief instrument of wrong ambition.The Pagan poet said, \u2018unhallowed is the voice of loud thanksgiving over slaughtered man\u2019\u2014 but a dignitary of the Established Church orders his\u2019 clergy to pray to the Supreme Ruler to teach us that thou didst give up thy enemies to us.No wonder millions of Christians stay away from the established church.I tell you that the indestructible quality there is in pure Christian faith is best proven by the fact that it should so long and so well survive this treason of those who pretend to maintain it.Disestablish the church, and the state clergy who would remain in the clergy would have congregations.As it is now the Established Church is dumb to wrong.The Established Church must perish, and then the true church would flourish, and the millions of people return to worship.\u201d The question of church disestablishment in England is ere long destined to be equally important with that of the Irish church disestablishment, and that it has secured attention is a sign of the advancement of the times in which we live, THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.On the day upon which British sub- jeots celebrate the Queen's Birthday the people of New York and Brooklyn will inaugurate the great and costly East River Bridge, which is to be another link of connection between Gotham and the City of Churches.The bridge has been a long time in building and has, it is said, been put up at an inordinate cost, there having been a very great amount of swindling and sharp practice connected with it.But it is now an accemplished fact.The bridge is about a mile long with good walking all the way and ample car and carriage room.There has been mo small objection raised on the part of some disgruntled ones to the day chosen for the ceremonial, but very properly the trustees declined to be in any way influenced by the Anglophobists.The proceedings come off at the Sand Street station, Brooklyn, where after music by the band of the Twenty-third Regiment, and prayer by Bishop Littlejohn, addresses will be presented on behalf of the - Trustees to Messrs.Low and Edson, the respective Mayors of Brooklyn and New York.There will be orations by Hom.Abraham S.Hewitt and Rev.Dr.Storrs.The President and Cabinet, the Governor of the State of New York and staff, with distinguished guests, will be escorted from the Fifth Avenue Hotel to the New York approach by the Seventh regiment, and there received by the trustees and escorted to the Brooklyn anchorage, where the opening ceremonies are held.Salutes are to be fired from Governor's Island, fireworks will be discharged, flags will be hoisted and, indeed, both cities will be en fete.The event is an important one and, provided the rates of toll, which, with the exception of that far foot-pas- sengers placed for the time being at one cent, are not made too high, there may be expected still closer relations between New York, and what was at one time termed its great boarding-house.The = Brooklyn Bridge is something of which to be proud, and when Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty is put up ; which seems to have been unwarrantably delayed, New York will have added two most important objects of interest and utility to those what she already possesses.DEEPENING LAKE ST.PETER.Yesterday, in the Commons, Sir Heetor Langevin, in reply to Mr.Desjardins, explained thé Government's policy in regard to the Lake St.Peter works.The Government does not propose to assume the debt at present, p | deepening of the channel.for those poor Egyptians who fell \u2014} AND DAILY (COMMERCIAL nor will it now undertake the further Sir Hector states that the Government will furnish the Harbour Commissioners of Montreal from time to time, in such amounts as may be needed, a total sum of nine hundred: thousand dollars to apply to the deepening of the channel and securing the additional two and ahalf feet for which the Commissioners have been labouring.This sum will be loaned to the Commissioners at four per cont., which, of course, is a considerable boon, in view of the higher rates of interest which our Harbour bonds are bearing.Apparently this is all in the form of a response to their application that the Commissioners can count upon receiving at present, and it is far from meeting tbe necessities of the case.The problem of the free navigation of the St.Lawrence and our Canadian canals, and of offsetting the abolition of tolls on the Erie canal, remains unsettled, but principles will ultimately prevail.I Ontario, there are, it is estimated, some 102,748 French Canadians and on the 85th June next, a grand National Convention is to be held at Windsor.Detroit being only on the other side of the St.Clair River, and having a large French population, it is probable that they also will turn out in force.Former national conventions held here and in Quebec have been great successes and the enthusiasm that they have created has been in no way disadvantageous either to themselves or their fellow-countrymen of other races.THE London Canadian remarks that living in Montreal is very cheap, which it proves by quoting the prices of provisions at Bonsecours market.It says that in Lower;Canadajfor \u201c farmers with a little capital there are excellent openings, equal to any that can be found anywhere on the American continent.* Some parts of Quebec remind one very much of the finest park scenery in the old country, more particularly in the Eastern Townships, which offer abundant desirable openings for capital and labour.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 THE New York Post of Tuesday contained the following despatch from Ottawa :\u2014\u201c It is said that Sir John Macdonald has received several threatening letters from New York dynamiters.\u201d \u2018The story has about itf a fishlike odour.\u201cLE QUOTIDIEN\u201d announces that the writs for the new election in Jacques Cartier will not be issued for three weeks or a month.This is, it is said, in order that politics may not interfere with the spring work of the farmers.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.LUTHER H.ARCHIBALD, late Superintendent of the Government Railway on Prince Edward Island, passed through this city yesterday to take charge of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company\u201d line from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg.MR.Duncan McINTYRE, Vice-Presi- dent Canadian Pacific Railway, left yesterday afternoon for

\"MONTREAL HERALD THE CLUB NATIONAL Second Annual Banquet Last Evening.A GRAND SUCCESS.Addresses by the Hon.Messrs.Mackenzie Laurier, Mercier and others, The second annual banquet of \u2018the Club National of Montreal came off at the Windsor last evening, and was attended with much eclat, those present including leading members of the Liberal arty from all parts of the country.Shortly after 8 o\u2019clock the guests entered the large dinin hall, where dinner was in waiting, an over two hundred guests sat down to the well laid tables.Mr.Archille Dorin, the President of the Club, occupied

GUEST.Hou.Alex.Mackenzie entered the room at the conclusion of the menu and was introduced by the Chairman in a few appropriate remarks.The Hon.gentleman teceived a bearty ovation, those present rizing and cheering, 30d the health of the honoured gentleman which was proposed by the President was honoured in a most enthusiastic manner.Hon.Mr.Mackenzie who was greeted with loud applause in responding, said :\u2014 I cannot End words strong \u2018enough to express my obligation at the manner in which you have responded to my health.It has always been a great source of pleasure to me to meet my brethren of the Reform ranks in the city of Montreal.(Applause) And though circumstances have of late years prevented me from meeting them as often as I desired, yet I hkve always maintained a firm affection for my French co-labourers in the Dominion and Provincial politics, and es- pocially those in this Province who have rne the honoured name of your chairman [loud applause].When last -I had the privilege of addressing the voung Reformers in this city I then said the name of Dorion was deeply revered in Ontario, one consolation is that if Sir Antoine orion has retired from the political field le holds the highest position of honour and of \u201ctrust possible in his native Province.[Loud applause.] The Liberal party: at the present moment, are not, lieve, considered to be in the majority.[Laughter.] But in Jmy opinion it is always better to be with the minority in a righteous cause than go with & multitude to do evil (loud applause).And, during the term of our administration there was no act done that brought down upon us the reproach of the country, and I hope that the Liberal party in the future will never do any thing of which it need be ashamed (applause).Our principles will in my opinion undoubtedly prevail, for the simple reason that those principles are just, and what the Liberal party did for the country has produced our present prosperous condition (applause).I dare say that Mr.Perrault, whois now present and who was formerly a member of Parliament] would wish that some things had been done which we have not yet achieved, and I can only say that I strongly sympathize with those sentiments (applause).In 1874, as you will be aware, when we had to negotiate atreaty with the United States, I declined to enter upon those negotiations until we had a Canadian appointed as Minister Plentipotentiary, and for the first time in Canadian history a Canadian was placed upon the same footing as the British Minister.(Loud applause).It has long been the opinion, I now, among British statesmen that while the colonists were entitled to some consideration they had to do as the wise men of Britain wished them.Now, gentlemen, my contention is that we have as wise men amongst the colonists as -in the Mother Country, and it has always been the aim of the Liberal party, from Baldwin down, to place Canadian statesmen on the same footing as the statesmen of Great Britain.(Loud applause.) In no respect are our statesmen inferior, and under the Sovereignty of our Queen the Frivy Council ot Canada takes rank with the Privy Council of Great Britain, except in the matter of degree.(Continued applause.) As I have to leave in a very short time I will be brief, and will content myself with expressing the pleasure that I feel at meeting with my old fellow-labour- ers, the Hon.Mr.Laurier, Hon.Mr.Taflamme and others, and I only deeply regret that we are not privileged to meet on this occasion anothet \u2018old and lamented friend, the late Mr.Hoiton.{ Applause,] His sterling character, his firm and undaunted character,\u2018and above all his, kindly manner towards the younger members of our party, one well known to you all, and let us hope that, as ig the past, so in the future, new Holtohs; New Dorions, new Laflammes and new Lauriers will arise towork for our party,and that when the.present generation will?have passed away, that able and brilliant men will arise to.take our places, and bring the Liberal party not only back to power but to a position to bring into effect those grand principles for which we have always fought.(Loud applause.) For, believe me, power, without principle, is a curse to any party and if we as a party hold difte- rent opinions let us discuss them, but having once ascertained the truth let us stick to it through bad and good report, believing always that truth and righteousness must, as sure as there is a righteous God ip Heaven, ultimately prevail.(Loud applause.) I again thank you for the kind manner in which you have alluded to me, and wishing that you may prosper, individually and as a party, and hoping that you will yet be returned to power to give effect to our grand and noble principles, I bid you all good night.(Loud and prolonged applause).e hon.gentleman was obliged to leave at the conclusion of his address.LETTERS OF REGRET.The Secretary, Mr.Bauset, here read letters of regret at their inability to attend the banquet from the Hon.Edward Blake, Hon.Li.H.Huntington, Hon.H.G.Joly Mr.L.H.Davies, of Prince Edward Island, Hon.R.Thibaudeau, Hon.F.Langelier,, Messrs.P.B.Casgrain, Louis Frechette, G.de St.Georges, D.À.Fisher, C.Rinfret, À.Chaquette, Shehyn, Wm.Irvine, Dr.Laberge and several others, The Hon.Edward Blake\u2019s letter was as follows :\u2014 April 23, 1883.DEAR SIR,\u2014I am honoured by the kind invitation of the Ciub National of Montreal to attend their annuat banquet on the 17th inst.Iregretthat my engagements oblige me to decline.I may be detained here by my Parliamentary duties, but if freed from attendance here, there are pressing matters which require my immediate departure for a continuous sojourn in Toronto for some time.ishing your gathering a large measure of success, and with the renewed expression of my regret, that I cannot be present, I am, faithfully yours, EDWARD BLAKE.OUR COUNTRY.The President in proposing the first toast, that of ¢ Canada, Our Country\u201d said he proposed the toast with the hope that they would soon be able to drink to its independence and its standing as a nation.(Applause.) It would be useless to dissimulate that a great destiny awaited Canada and that she would yet occupy an important position among the nations of the world.(Applause.) But they could \u201cnever occupy this position while Canada was simply a colony of Great Britain ; to be a great country they would have to be independent.(Loud Applause.) Canadians, a3 matters stood, were net the subjects of the Queen, but the subjects of her subjects.This, he considered was a very humiliating position for Canadians to occupy, and they should all look forward to the great day of Canadian independence, when Canadians would be placed upon a right footing.(Loud Applause.) Our position as a colony, he contended, was the \u2018principal barrier to our greatness as a country.(Applause) England had more than once declared that when Canada demanded her independence the Mother Country would be ready and willing to grant it.Such being the case he did not see why it should not be obtained and why they should not found on this continent a great Canadian republic based upon the great and = true rinciples of liberalism and free- om.(Loud applause.) He concluded by proposing the toast of \u2018\u2018 Canada, Our Country,\u201d which was honoured in the most enthusiastic andffpatriotic manuer.Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, in rising to respond to the toast, received an ovation.hen the applause occasioned by his appearance had subsided, he said, that though he could not say that he concurred in all the sentiments expressed by their Chairman, he was yet convinced that there was a great future in store for Canada.He had, however, as a practical politician, to confine himself more to the actual present than to the glories of the future.It was a great satisfaction for him to know, however, that in the city of Montreal, the commercial metropolis of the Dominion, and the city which was generally held to be the stronghold of Conservatism, such a grand demonstration of Liberals could be held, [Applause.] The members of the Club wereyet young and their convictions of the future glory that awaited their coun try were, he knew, firm.He referred to the past achievements of the Liberal party, and said that he was convinced that if they ever achieved the position of which their chairman spoke it would be due to future generations of Liberals.(Applause) Allthe great reforms of the past had been achieved b the Liberal party, and the history of their efforts might be divided into four great epocs.The work of the first epoc was the achievement of an equal position for all the races of our country, and associated with this movement was the name of the great and honoured Papineau.(Loud applause) The second period might\u2019 be said to have commenced in 1841, and the result was the obtainment of responsible government.Here again the country was equally obligated to the Liberal party, and the names of those great Liberals, Baldwin and Lafontaine, who led the movement, were among the brightest on their record.(Continued applause) \u2018The Conservatives were in the habit of claiming Lafontaine as the founder of their party, but no greater delusion, the speaker said, could exist, as there was never a man more liberal in every way than that gentleman.The third period commenced at the time of Lord Elgin\u2019s departure from the country, by which time responsible government had been achieved, and from this date, about 1849, resulted a period of 20 years, during which the Liberal party had to fight against many difficulties.The Church was against them, and any reforms that they might advocate were denounced as revolutionary, and the members of the party as dangerous partisans.He alluded ta-these matters in no spirit of acrimony, but simply that from them might be drawn a lesson, and to-day they had the satisfaction to know that during that period they had fought for the cause of justice and of truth.Finally, this period was brought to a close by the sound declaration of the head of the Church, that all parties were indifferent and were to be judged solely by their actions.Then commenced the 4th epoc in which they were now, and it remained for them to do their duty, which was a most arduous one, they had to look \u2018calmly at the political situation of the present day, and they would find that t ey had a government which was leading the country to bankruptcy \u2018and ruin, and further they would find, which was most lamentable, that public opinion was dead.What, then, was the duty of the Liberal party in this state of affairs?He held that their duty at this time was to look more to the present than to the future, and to remember that they could never become a great nation as long as the present state of affairs continued.[Applause].Their first object shouid be to reform the present state of affairs and to have it known that politics was not a trade, but a sacred duty.He urged them to follow the traditions of the Liberal party in the past, and to follow the example of such men as Dorion and Holton.[Applause.] They were small, it is true, in numbers, but this should not discourage them, for he believed with the Hon.Mr.Mackenzie that a day was coming when right principles would prevail.and when they had awakened public opinion and put.honest men at the head of the country, with right and true principles to govern it, then it would be time enough to think of the independence of their country.He would also strongly urge that there should be the utmost union and concord among all classes of Liberals.[Loud applause.] He had always had a profound respect for the convictions of his opponents, though he might differ from them, and he knew that many Liberals were of the same mind.(Applause) It then they respected the opinions of their opponents, how much more should they respect those of their friends; he, there fore, urged them to maintain discipline and friendship among themselves on all occasions and comcluded a most eloquent address with the words of the lamented President Liacoln : \u201c With malice towards noue, with charity to all, let us try to do the right as God gives us to see right.\u201d Mr.Stephens,M.P.P, in respondingte the toast in English, after some preliminary remarks, said he preferred to be in the minority with fifteen honest men than in the majority with thirty who were otherwise.He declared that the money of the country had been divided among men who did not care what happened so long as there was money to steal.He remarked upon the erroneous opinions that prevailed a8 to Canada from a climatic point of view and in other respects.We were all born in a common country and ought to feel as one.This feeling he had experienced when in Europe.He advocated a general Canadian feeling.Canada to-day had a railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific five hundred miles shorter than any other.He deprecated the feeling here that Canada had no importance.What had made the United States was its spread eagleism.He would advise all Canadians above everything else to be Canadians.(Cheers).Mr.Beaugrand, in proposing the \u201cFrench and American Republics,\u201d having been given by the Chairman, paid a high tribute to the Republican system which, particularly in the United States, allowed every man unfettered to discharge the duties that devolved upon him as a citizen.Mr.Schwab, in his reply, remarked that France had carried high the torch of liberty and freedom.Mr.Lareau commented on the progress made by France under Republican institutions, citing the opinions on this subject expressed by Le Soleil, an Orleanist organ, and further remarking that the people of France were well satisfied with the wise and beneficent liberties which they enjoyed.Mr.P.H.Roy, in proposing the toast of \u2018the Liberal Party,\u201d referred to its great leader at Ottawa.He sketched its past carger, and mentioned amid enthusiasin the great names which, under its auspices, had fought for the Constitutional liberties of the country.Referring to the present, he pointed out the great questions with which there was for it to deal.Mr.Geoffrion, in returning thanks, said that he did not think the Liberal party was ever really stronger than it was now, united as 1t was at present, fighting as it did inch by inch, and forcing the Conservatives to make concessions which it de manded in the publie interest.He declared himself in favour of the Independence of Canada, and that as soon as possible.He thought it was the duty of the Liberal party to advocate this, which was the view of the majority of the people.There was now going on a tug of war between parties, Liberalism having the advantage were it not for the Bastile which the Conservatives pos essed in the Legielative Council.Mr.J.K.Ward was pleased to be present to take part in this demonstration in favour of Liberalism.He thought the representatives of the party in the local egislature had behaved nobly in the fight which might had been forced to give to right.They had done their duty manfully.It might seem strange for many here to see that he who was interested in manufactures was opposed to the policy of the Conservatives.It was a poor policy which discriminated against the many in favour of the few.He had no doubt that most of the Conservatives were like the Liberals, in favour of Free Trade.He demonstrated the unfairness of the.existing system of specific duties, and pointed out the inconsistencies of the protectionists, He further declared that these duties pressed more severely upon the poorer classes than upon those who were.better able to pay.The Liberal party were, in his opinion, the party of onesty and fair play, and, therefore, he was gratified to see the demonstration of this evening.He advised harmony and concentration, and said he had no fear of true Liberals ever jumping the fence.He was assured that ere long the principles of Liberalism would triumph and succeed and this conviction rendered him the more happy to be present.The Chairman, in the absence of Hon.Mr.Davies, of P.BE.1., who had been expected to respond to \u201cthe House of Commons,\u201d passed on to the toast of \u2018 the Provincial Legislature.\u201d Hon.Mr.Mercier, on rising to re spond, was most enthusiastically cheered, receiving a perfect ovation.e said:\u2014 Mr.CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN,\u2014You have just done an excellent thing, and \\it is with pleasure that I associate myself with a toast to an invalid who has given us all kinds of disquietude.I offer you and beg you to receive the expression of my profound gratitude for the good idea which you have had and rest assured that the invalid will be deeply sensible of the] touching sympathy which yod have just! manifested.The sickness of the illus-| trious lady, which we represent, is, unfortunately, too well known.It is the galloping consumption of deficits which has already made such enormous ravages and seriously threatens to carry off the Legislative Assembly in the flower of its age, | \u2018for as yet it has only seen sixteen springs, and at the present time when life seemed | to smile upon it in the most agreeable manner, disappointment has been added to sickness, and, to add to the comiplications, one of the best aids to the eure :of:cog-' sumptives, cheerfulness and hope does not present itself.The recent loss of those of its dear children, to which it has been forced to submit, has thrown the Legislative Assembly into a condition of despondency, the more natural #nce their deaths were far from having been glorious.The health of the First Minister and thas of the young member for Laval appeared to be excellent, and nothing presaged so rapid a decease.As for Mr.Pumoulin, it was suspected that he kad tricked the Hon.Mr.Turcotte, but his friends had begun to hope that this would have remained secret.However, all three are waiting for the elections, either to hurry them out of sight er rehabilitate them in the public opinion.Meantime we have a Government without a head, or at least pre sided over by a Prime Minister who is not a member, and has not a seat in the Legislative Council.It is very true the Hon.Mr.Mousseau has nothing to be proud ot; he is rather like the condemned to be hanged and on the point of being executed.Seeing all the solemn preparations Er \u2014 AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, FRIDAY, MAY 18.for the doleful ceremony being made, he expresses his regret that people should give themselves so much trouble about im.\u201cI am much obliged to you,\u201d he says, \u201cbut you need not take all that trouble.I like neither ostentation nor reproach, let me go, it will be better for every one.\u201d My friend, the Prime Minister, seeing the solemn preparations made for the solemn ceremony of disqualification, said to us \u201cI don\u2019t like all that bother, it is troublesome for every one, let me resign, and that will finish it.\u201d This was not brave; but it was prudent.And this example was contagious; after Mr.Mercier came Mr.Dumoulin, of Three Rivers, and Mr.LeBlanc, of Laval.Itis said that every fault deserves punishment ; candidly if Î have made a mistake in striving to have those three elections annulled I am well punished; for I ain now obliged to go into three election contests.In any case there remains for me the consolation, above all, the Conservatives will have more enemies than they find in me.I may add, too, that they will have less success, for the electors are beginning to know their true friends (hear, hear), and seem to me quite disposed to judge severely those who have deceived and cajoled them for more than three years.I have said that you have reason to drink to the health of the Legislative Assembly, because it wag very sick.No matter who is sick, this Province is, and very seriously for it is upon it that with all their weight are .pressing enormous deficits that are crushing out its life.To increase the trouble our Province, whose disease is well nigh incurable, is being treated by homæo- paths, who vigourously apply to it the rinciple of similia similibus curantur.ou admit that this principle, which may be good in medicine, is worth nothing in political economy, for it is impossible to remove deficits by making others, as the Conservatives have done for long, and Heaven knows that they have succeeded admirably in the direction which is their speciality.We must of necessity change our regime ; if we wish to save our patient we must have a consultation of practical men and not dreamers ; by men who are prudent, wise and moderate in their views, who do not amuse themselves by merely preaching impossible theories, but who can calmly reason out a critical sitaa- tion, and know how to save the patient by strong remedies ; amputation, for instance, if it is necessary, the amputation indeed of the gangrenous and useless members, which put the rest of the body in danger.This consultation, moveover, ought to take place among honest men, who do not seek to enrich themselves, but to cure, who prefer the glory of having saved the sick to any pecuniary advantages.(Clieers.) You have, therefore, done well to drink to this toast, and I am right in saying that you have done a good work.Let us hope that your anticipations will be realized and that we shall soon see our Legislative Assembly, that has a terrible malady which is killing it, take courage and patriotically commence the work of national regeneration and caring for the public health.To attain this end and accomplish this great and grand task we must work for the restoration ot our finances, and of political morality.Both are sick, the oue as much ad the other.If there is misery in the house there is- also gangrene, and if we wish the return of prosperity, we must not neglect cleanliness.Both are indispensable.OUR FINANCES.The financial situation of the Province is critical, exceedingly critical.The present Treasurer acknowledged this during the late session and Hon.Mr.Robertson, who exfectly understood the situation, formally declared that we must stop in the mad career upon which we had entered.Tuere is not a business wan in this province who is not dismayed at what is taking place and is not ready to give his hand to any one who will undertake the patriotic task of restoring an equilibrium »etween our receipts and expenditures (applause).I am not going to trouble you with a budget speech.This would be badly to repay the honour you did me in asking me to speak this evening, but we must properly understand the evil, in order to be able to apply the proper remedy.The Province of Quebec entered Confederation on the lst July, 1867, free of all debt as a revince.There was, it is true, the alance of the old debt of the Province of Canada which remained in suspense, but was adjusted in 1873, when, on the demand of Sir A.A.Dorion, the Federal Government assumed the responsibility for this balance, leaving, in consequehce, our Province free of liability.It remained in this happy state for seven years, but in 1874 it commenced to borrow and in 1875 its excess of receipts over expenditures, amotint- ing to $1,182,632.46, were changed into deficits, which amounted to $3,022,736.42 on the lst July, 1881.We must add to this enormous sum the deficits of last year and the year previous, which I place at $340,990 and $465,152 respectively.Here we have a total of $3,828,878 representing our accumulated deficits in eight years, or half a million dollars per year.He continued to dwell upon the way in which the Local Government had done all it could to raise revenues, and the manner in which the very able judgment of Judge Rainville had stopped them.It was the duty of every citizen to protest agamst the system which was\u2018 carried on.He had continually heard it stated that we were on the way to direct taxation.This was not necessary.We wanted a proper system\u2014a Government that would do its uty and work for the country instead of for its friends.The three millions odd of deficits had been caused by expenditures, net for the country but, for the friends of the Government, and part of it to enable Mr.Senecal to sell the North Shore Railway to the Grand Trunk.We must do away with our extravagances; we could retrench immensely and bring down our expenditures considerably below our receipts.He had entered politics as a duty, and remained in them because he wished and intended to lead the Liberal party onto victory.[Cheers.] If he studied his personal interests he should have kept out of them ; but as it was he should continue to fight in order to make triumphant the principles which he.rofessed.Power for the Liberals meant honesty of Administration and the protection of every individual.It was his honour to be the standard-bearer of a party, and he looked forward to victory, and with courage and patience that would be assured.When he saw a Club like this, like the Club Letellier, and like the Young Men\u2019s Reform Club, he saw no reason to draw back.Phalanxes such as followed this must triumph, but that was on condition that the party worked for the restoration of political morality.(Cheers.) He hag not been surprised to see that the Liberal party had been, beaten, but its friends would not allow Conservatism always to triumph.\u2018The Conservatives had come to the people under false colours.The people was at heart Liberal; no matter what it called itself.The aspirations of the Liberal Party, were, he was convinced, tending towards political independence.He was personally in favour of the independence of his country.(Cheers.) And he did not think himself disloyal to the Sovereign, whom he loved and respected, because he advocated independence.It was no breach of loyahty to ask for independence, no more than it was for a young man of twenty-one years of age to desire to set up Louse on his own account.In the latter case the father encouraged the;sentiment, and this would, he was convinced, be the feeling of Great before her.(Cheers.) It was astonishiag that there was so little national sentiment and political morality in this Province; but the fact was that the Province was pal and trivial character.Were our conditions different, the people would march forward to the realization of the reat destinies that were before theme advocated a large, liberal Christian education.Christianity had never opposed education.Had lack of Christianity in Europe made a people better than ours?(No.) Christianity was calculated to stimulate patriotism.He deprecated the tendency to make party second to what was right, and denied that he ever entertained hatred toward his political adversaries, believing that in their estimation their principles were as sacred as his own.e regretted the unfounded prejudices raised against the Liberals, numbers of whom he mentioned as sincere patriots and as good Christians as were to be found in the country.No Liberal should be a hypocrite or should hide his principles, and no matter what was said should remain in the ranks, marching with the times, giving no countenance to those who were striving to destroy its principles: (Cheers.) There should be no fanaticism, its members were honest they would never disgrace it.'l'here were manyold Liberals to be brought back into the party who for one reason or another had been induced to abandon their principles.They were vited to come back with a warm welcome and forgetfulness of their faults.He had been in favour of a union of parties, and had favoured a coalition but there were persons in the Conservative ranks with whom Liberals could not coalesce.Liberals could not make a concession of principles which had been advocated by Lafontain, by Mackenzie, by Dorjon, by Blake gnd by Laurier.To-night this meeting had been addressed hy one of the old chiefs whom he sincerely respected but like many others he had believed that he had not sufficient ambition, but:he ex- peoted that ere Jong their chosen leader, r.Blake, would take the chief position in the Dominion.He had served his chiefs loyally and without hesitation; and he called on his hearers to aid him at the resent time.If he did not make the iberal flag victorious in Jacques Cartier he should bring it back without a stain | upon it.[Cheers.] If they all worked heartily and courageously together he felt | sure of success.He asked for the advice and co-operation of his friends, and if the | at any time should not be satisfied wit him he should, he said, be prepared to make way at their bidding.He, however, | begged them all to stand by Liberalism, looking through it for the triumph of the sacre« interests of the country.[Loud cheers.] Mr.Marchand concurred with all the noble igeas which had been expressed by the orators of this evening, particularly by the Leader of the Opposition at Quebec.He paid his tribute to the herculean efforts of Mr.Mercier during the recent session, in which he had conclusively shown that Mr.Mousseau was not worthy of the confidence of the House.The Prime Minister had been thrown ont of his seat by the Courts, and he (Mr.Marchand) was convinced that, at least, thirty members had been elected by the same means which had caused his fall.Mr.McShane observed that during the last session, under the leadership of Mr.Mercier, the Liberal party, though few in numbers, had obtained a powerful position in the House.If ever a leader deserved support it was Mr.Mercier, who had worked night and day for the success of his principles.He had been told by not a few Conservatives that they believed Mr.Mercier to be right but they were afraid of the Liberals getting into power.He was proud of Mr.Blake, an Irishman; as a leader, aud he thought the French-Canadian leaders should be proud of Mr.Mercier, their and his leader in this Province.He would say to all sink all differences and support him who was the acknowledged leader of fourteen members of the House.He was found of Ireland, and would always be fond of it, but his motto was above all, Canada.At a late hour the toasts of © Progress and Democraey,\u201d \u201c Sister Clubs,\u201d \u201cThe Press,\u201d and ¢¢ The Ladies\u201d followed, and at an early hour this most successful demonstration was brought to a conclusion.During the evening the \u20acity Band gave excellent and appropriate musical selections, HOP BITTERS ARE THE PUREST AND BEST BITTERS EVER MADE.They are compounded from Hops, Malt, Buchu, Mandrake and Dandelion,\u2014the oldest, best, and most valuable medicines in the

allows 4 per cent.interest on deposits, in order to \u201cdraw custom.\u201d I certainly never made use of such an expression, nor did I speak of the Federal Bank as a \u201cnew institution.A bank having its capital of $3,000,000, protected by a Rest equal to nearly fifty per cent.of that capital, can hardly be fairly styled à \u201c new institution.\u201d The St.Catherine\u2019s street branch, which was established six months ago for the convenience of the public residing and doing business in the upper part of the city, is conducted at such moderate expense that the bank can afford to allow depositors somewhat more than the prevailing rate of interest, and, on the other hand, it was thought to be hardly werth while discriminating against those to whom it is more convenient to transact their business.at the principal, office of the bank, in Notre Dame street.The suggestion that it is at presents sought to attract business by offering unusually advantageous terms is calculated to create an impression that by-and-bye the policy of the Federal Bank may become less liberal towards its customers.Such, they may rest assured, will not be the case.I am, your obedient servant, J.F.J.INGRAM, ; Manager.Federal Bank of Canada, May 17, 1880.ONE EXPERIENCE FROM MANY.I have been sick and miserable so long and had caused my husband so much trouble and expense, no one

confidence you have shown in again electing me as your President.I feel that I lack the great.ability and tact of my predecessor, bus if I should nov be quite so successful,let me say it does not result from want of will, but of: ability.I wish to say of my confreres that I am ably supported by mye friends Mr.Sti: ling, ice-President, Mr.avidson, the Treasurer, and by Mr.Currie, who performs the arduous duty of Secretary of the Committee of Management.Every member of the Committee has, during the past year, faithfully done his duty.T do not believe that any other institution in the city has a more harmonious or eelf-de- nying Committee.As a Committee we have to mourn the loss of our confrere, Dr.Geo.W.Campbell, and of one who sat for nine years at our board, the late T.M.Bryson, whose failing health compelled his resignation some time ago.In the report presented to the Corporation on Tuesday last I find that, as printed in the apers, the name of my friend, Edward ackay, has been omitted ; this will be rectified in the yearly printed report, David J.Greenshields is one that I hope will not be forgotten by those who have the means, and also will I trust have the heart to follow his example.Mrs, Stuart\u2019s bequest is a handsome one, while the others have left and given to us about $18,000 in sums of $5,000 and under, making, when received, an addition of $78,000 in all to our permanent fund.The report calls attention to increased hospital aécommo- dation as being urgently needed.I mention this only to say that I intend going home next month, and hope to have some conversation and counsel with my predecessor, Mr.Redpath, who has for years years been studying this question.L'shall also make it my duty to visit as many hospitals as I can that are worthy of note, and I hope that after my return the Committee will be able to suggest some plan by which the much needed increase can be carried out to best advantage for the interests of -the Hospital, The Committee, during the month, took up the question of having an ambulance, friends subscribed the amount required, and it is hoped that in a few days it will be ready for use.have arranged with the Bell Telephone Company that with the consent of any subscriber having a telephone near where any accident may occur that 1t will be allowed to be used free of charge to cali the Hospital, which will at once have assistance provided and the ambulance sent to the sufferer.RESOLUTIONS.The following resolutions were severally moved and unanimously adopted by the meeting :\u2014 Mr.Andrew Robertson, the President, moved, seconded by Mr.John Molson, \u201c\u2018 That the thanks of the Governors of the Montreal General Hospital are due to Dr.Wright for his long and valuable services as an attending

you of the 8th inst., and I desire to say that I am prepared to recommend the \u2018Directors of the Grard Trunk Compan to waive the matter ofinterest on the $100,000; the estimated value of the $400,000 of stock, on eondition that the said sum\u2019 of $100,000 is\u2019 \u2018placed in, say the Bank of Montreal, subject the joint order of the city and the Grand Trunk Company.The amount to be paid to the Company on their fulfilling the terms of the agreement in regard to the passenger de- poton or before the close of the year 1885; otherwise the ount is to accrue to the city, Any interest allowed on the amount during the time it remains deposited in bank, to he paid over to the city.- I hope that this arrangement will meet with the approval of thle Committee and commend itself to the Council, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J.HICKSON, , General Manager.The Chairman stated that the only objection that Mr.Hickson brought was that\u2019 of putting the money into the hands of the Corporation, stating the Council might change its mind before the end of 1885.The Chairman further remarked that the interest which would accrue to the city would prove of great benefit, and that according to the letter received, the Corporation would Lave to pay back the money after the building would be completed.The Jorporation, hejsaid, would realize $8,000 by the bargain, and that was ss much as they could expect.; His Worship the Mayor asxed if Mr.Hickson had submitted a plan of the proposed passenger depot.The Chairman stated that they had not yet received a plan, but that they could exact one, besides he had a guarantee that $300,000 would be expended exclusively for the passenger station.Ald.Brown said that he had heard that plans had been made but had been destroyed by fire, but that a new plan was being prepared.After some desultory discussion, Ald.Laurent moved that the arrangements proposed by Mr.Hickson be approved of, and that a report be made to Council to that effect, the plan of station to be previously submitted to Council.| .The motion was carried unarimously.THE BELLE-REYE PROPERTY.The following letters were then submitted to the Committee, and read by the Chairman in reference to the Belle-Reve property.GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA, General Manager\u2019s office, Montreal, May 8, 1883.My DEAR SIR,\u2014It was mentioned to me some time ago that the citizens of the east end desired, if it could be arranged, to get the use of the Belle Reve property for a park or recreation ground.I have made some en airy into the subject, and I enclose herewith for the information of the Council a copy of the communication from the President of the North Shore Railway on the subject.If the terms upon which Mr.Senecal indicates the use of the

for the purchase of a Hayes ladder for the use'of the Fire Brigade.: , All the'members of the committee were in favour of appropriating that sum, especially as Ald.Hood stated that the - ladder was a great necessity.- \" Upon motion the committee resolved to grant the, sum asked for.0 A letter.was read from Mr.Lesage, of the Water Department, asking for an increase in salary.The letter showed that he had been for twenty-seven years in the service, and that the Water Committee would recommend an increase of $700 on the annual salary of $2,800, which he was now receiving, The Chairman stated that the funds were rather low at present, but suggested that a bonus of $400 be granted this vear to Mr.Lesage and that next year he draw an annual salary of $3,500.Ald.Brown read a motion to this effect, which was carried.A petition from Mr.Valiquette, to be employed as bailiff in the City Attornéy\u2019s office, was not entertained.A statement from Mr.Rhester was read to the committee, which showed

for the purse.A long discussion then: ensued on' the method: of book-keeping now used inthe Treasury Department, and: Ald.Laurent tried to show that 1t was very defective.After the transaction

appointed to make preparations for the reception of the British Association in 1884, was held yesterday afternoon in the Long Room of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute.Dr.Hingston was called to the Chair, and among those noticed present were Princial Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S,, Dr.T.Sterry unt, Dr.J.Baker Edwards, Dr.Osler, Prof.Alex.Johnson, Prof.Darey,' Prof.Bovey, Prof.McLeod, Dr.Rottot, and Henry Lyman, F.Wolferstan Thomas, D: A.P.Watt, John Molson, Geo.B.Burland, G.L.Marler, D.Macmaster, M.P., Ald.Holland, and Mr.S.C.Stevenson, who acted as Secretary.Lhe minutes of the last meeting of the Committee held in the Natural History Society\u2019s Rooms, on February 14th, were first read and confirmed, after which the appeared \u2018Secretary read the important letter from Prof.Bonney, the Secretary of the British \u2018Association, which has been already published in the HEraLp.On motion of Dr.Dawson it was resolved to consider the letter clause by clause, the first of which had reference to the best time at which to hold the meeting in 1884.Prof.Bonney wrote :\u2014* Naturally our members would wish to avoid the greatest heat of the summer and the equinoctial gales.What we may call the holiday period in England begins generally early in August, the public schcols, for example, generally break upeither in the last few days of July or the first three or four of August.They begin again at various dates after about the 21st of September.Tle colleges and universities begin work very early in October.It would be desirable, I think, to commence the meeting as soon as-possi- ble after the arrival of our party from England and to take excursions afterwards.We always begin on a Wednesday; will you, then, advise us as ta what will be the best time ?_ Principal Dawson also read a letter of later date from Mr.Bonney, suggesting as a good date the end of August.Considerable discussion ensued.on this subject, Dr.Sterry Hunt being of the opinion that it would be advisable to hold the meeting in thé second week of the month.The date of the meeting of the American Association\u2014wnich would meet in 1884 in Philadelphia\u2014would depend to a certain extent upon the time of the Montreal meeting.He was in favour of holding the British meeting first, after which those who wished could goto Philadelphia, if the American meeting fell after it, and the remainder could go on the excursions West.Prof.Bovey thought it would be advisable to have the meeting as late in August as possible, and that those who wanted to gofon the excursions could do so after the meeting.As a man with some experience of Cambridge, he thought it unlikely that the scientists would arrive at one time.He was further of opinion that the excursions were not the principal object, which was to show the British Association the sort of scientists Canada possessed.During the discussion that followed, Prof.Johnson stated that if the meeting was held the second week in August, many difficulties would arise in regard to private hospitality, as at that season Tof {hegyear many citizens were out of town.Dr.Dawson finally suggested that it would be advisable to select the week beginning Wednesday, August 27th, as the date they recommended to the Council.After a proposition to refer the matter to a select committee; a division was taken upon the weeks beginning August 20th, 27th and September 3rd, which resulted in an overwhelming majority in favour of the 27th.It was accor.ingly resolved that the Secretary recommend to the Council the selection of that date, with the alternative of the weeks before and after.Principal Dawson then asked, in view of his intended absence from the city this summer, that his name be struck off the Private Hospitalities Committee, and that of Mr.Hugh McLennan substituted therefor as Convener.Mr.J.F.Nott was added to the General Committee.The remainder of Prof.Bonney\u2019s letter, which was as follows, was then taken up : Again, the Local Secretaries, Local Treasurer and two or three Vice-Pres:- .| dents from the neighbourhood of the place of meeting, are elected at the previous meeting, Will your committee in due course favour us with the names of two or three gentlemen who will act as Local Secretaries or Local Treasurer and three or four Vice-Presidents for the consideration of the Council.May I ask how far you are informed as to the number and sizelf of the rooms required for our meet- \u2018ing, and generally how tar your committee is acquainted with the ordinary procedure of our meetings.\u201d As great diversity of opinion seemed apparent on this portion also, Mr.D.A.P.Watt offered a motion refer- | ing the clauses to a committee to re port at a future meeting, but the meeting: seemed of opinion that it would be more-

the change is making itself perceptible, not only in political matters, but also in religious matters.We should seek by every measure to encourage the hearts of each other.We believe it is our duty to labour to maintain and hand down the principles of our Church to posterity.The eace of the country is much improved.We do not need to inform ou of the lawlessness and crime which Lave been producing almost a reign of terror in this country, especially in the south and west.The seed sown by unscrupulous and misguided agitators, whose aim it is to sever the connections of this-country with Great Britain, has been reaped in a bitter harvest.Notwithstanding the benevolent efforts of the Imperial Parliament, as embodied in the recent legislation to remedy the present evil under which the country has go lon groaned, by limiting its power of landlord eviction, and securing the interest of the occupiers of the land in their holdings in which they and their fathers had invested their capital whether of money or labour, human life is ruthlessly sacrificed, and such is the state of society in the disturbed portions of the country that crimes of appalling atrocity, of the most revolting barbarity, are committed, not under the darkness of night only, but in the broad light of day.\u201d The committee on foreign correspondence was ordered to frame a fitting reply.BRAZIL.Ministry

SPECIAL JURY DISCHARGED.[EARLY TELEGRAMS.] Dusriy, May 17.\u2014Mr.O'Donnell, member of Parliament for Dungarvaa, in a letter to the Freeman's Journal, referring to the Pope\u2019s circular to the Irish Bishops, says : The Vatican has been misled hy specious mendacity which availed itself of the monstrous ignorance of Irish affairs revailing in Rome.He characterizes Tr.Errington, who has been the medium of communication between Great Britain and the Vatican, as a sneak and renegade, and says the attention ot the Vatican should be called to the crime fostered by England\u2019s enforcement of the infamous land code.The press of Ireland is unanimous in its opposition to the sentiments expressed in a circular from the Vatican.The Nation concludes strong leaders on the subject as follows:\u2014\u201cIf Rome enters into an unholy alliance with England against us, we shall stand for the national rights and liberties of Ireland against Rome and England combined.\u201d United Ireland says that it would be received with a smile were it to come from any other source.It calls this document the result of discreditable intrigue to supplement the Coercion Act.; Michael Davitt, along with a ten pound contribution to the Parnell tribute, sends a vigourous letter expressing his indignation at the action of the Vatican.\u201cIt will be an inauspicious day for the Catholic Church in Ireland,\u201d he says, * when the people become convinced that the Holy See, through political intrigue, can be made the instrument of English Whi diplomacy.\u201d He also calls it a trick, and advocates that the Parnell Fund be swelled to £50,000.It is reported that the Papal rescript has absolutely stopped all subscriptions to the Parnell testimonial throughout Roscommon.James Mullet, Edward O\u2019Brien, Edward McCaffrey, Daniel Delaney, William Moreny and Thomas Doyle, all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder on being arraigned this morning.The first five were sentenced to ten years and Doyle to five years\u2019 penal servitude.The Crown decided to drop the criminal charge against McCaffrey of having participated in the murder of Mr, Burke.Judge O\u2019Brien, in sentencing Mullet, said: \u2014* There is more known concerning ou than has been made publie, I be- ieve you were Present during the attack on Juror Field.\u201d Mullet replied, \u201cI was not.\u201d The judge then adverted to the principal share the prisoner had taken in organizing the conspiracy to murder.Mathias Brady, charged with threatening the foreman of the jury which convicted Joe Brady, pleaded guilty, but the Crown and person threatened assented to his discharge.The trial of Peter Doyle, charged with conspiracy te murder, was postponed on account of sickness.He was in Court but so weak he had to be supported in the dock.New York, May 17.\u2014Carroll, Sheridan\u2019s confidential adviser, said last night the warrant for Sheridan\u2019s arrest was in the hands of the United States

State epartment and receive the mandate before proceeding to the arrest.The British Minister need not exhibit the evidence until it submits it before the committing magistrate, who is to decide whether it is sufficient to make out a probable case.The Pope\u2019s Letter.Caicaco, May 17.\u2014The Citizen, published by John F.Finerty,member of Congress, has an editorial headed \u201cBoycott the Pope.\u201d Itsays: Ofall the productions of papal interference in the affairs of Ireland that marked the policy of the Vatican, from the days of Adrian 4th to John 22nd, and from the reign of that pontiff to the present time the last circular addr by Leo 13th to the Irish bishops and clergy in regard to the Parnell fund is most intolerably impertinent.If the Irish people submit crayenly to this latest Italian lash of the whip now bein furnished by the Pope\u2019 worthy ally Victoria, they will forfeit the respect of the world at large.The article says :\u2014Let the Irish eople hold public meetings in every iocese, pass resolutions strongly de- neuncing any more of His Holiness\u2019 unholy intervention in Irish politics, and tell him, once for all time, firmly, and respectfully, to mind his own business, as the head of the Catholic Church.They might supplement this action by resolvin, not to contribute a single cent o \u201c Peter\u2019s pence,\u201d while Leo occupies the the Papal chair, or, at least, until he quits his palpable and scandalous political \u201calliance wich the arch enemy of the Irish nation and race.In a word we advise our countrymen to \u201cBoycott\u201d the Pope,and teach him a lesson that may be serviceable at least to his successor.Cut off some of the monetary supplies of Leo, and teach him without being misunderstood that the Irish race cannot be bulldozed into slavery by the bayonets of England, or by the thunder of Rome.We hope the Irish Bishops and clergy have bone enough to resent this Roman outrage on their patriotism.Ire- land will stand by them against Pope 8 | y-five centa a bottle.Leo and any other foreign busybody, be he Saxon or Italian.\u201d Foreign Opinions.BERLIN, May 17.-The Vossische Zeitung thinks the Pope's circular to the Irish clergy comes toe late.The Germania approves of the circular.Paris, May 17.-Le Journal des Debats regards the Pope\u2019s circular as somewhat tardy.CRIMES AND

morning.The tramp was ordered out of the first-class waiting room by Wagner,and went quietly as farjas the door, when he suddenly turned upon Wagner and with some sharp instrument inflicted an ugly wound\u2019 two inches in length and of considerable depth behind the left ear.The attack was so unexpected and fierce that Wagner was thrown to the floor, where he was found shortiy afterward by the night watchman in a ool of blood in an unconscious state.edical attendance was summoned at once.The wound is not considered fatal.The patient is very low from loss blood.The tramp is still at

&e.CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes, .and is one of the most common of the pulmonary affections.Chronic bronchitis more often occurs later in life.When a cold settles on the lungs, the disease either ends in bronchitis, or pneumonia.If it ends in bronchitis, it usually passes offas a cold in the chest, and still the patient does pot fell entirely well.He feels tired and languid, and is incapable of taking his usual amount of exercise, and experiences a shortness of breath, with more or less warmth in the palms of his hands.Soon after this a cough appears accompanied by an expectoration of thick mucous, followed by a hectic flush, loss of flesh and strength, and night sweats continue, when the patient assumes all the appearance of having 8 genuine case of consumption.But this is simply catarrh of the lungs or chronic bronchitis.In the later stages of the disease the mucous membrane of the larger bronchial tube softens, while in the smaller tubes and air cells of the lungs the mucous membrane becomes congested and inflamed.There are no cavities or tubercles in the lungs, but merely a wasting away of the large bronchial \u201ctubes.and death takes place trom obstruction of the bronchial tubes and air cells of the lungs.The pa tient dies from exhaustion and suffocation, being unable to expectorate the mucous which accumulates in the passage leading to the lungs.which in some cases is sticky and small in quantity, but more common- | ly copious, of a light straw or yellowish green.Oftentimes streaks of blood make their appearance in the mucous, and at times there is a disagreeable smell.Persons thus afflicted arc very liable to take cold, at which time the mucous becomes clear and frothy, and it is not uncommonly the case that the patient dies in one of these attacks.By this system of Medicated Inhalation thousands of cases are cured after all hope: of cure is past.And thousands are to-day living witnesses of the very fact.If possible, call personally for consults tion and exarsination, but 1f impossible to- do so, write for list of questions and Medi: cal Treatise.Address M.HILTON WILLIAMS,

cent.has been claimed by the customs authorities here.These packages are the product of this country, and are returned not to compete with similar productions, but to contain the articles which are free under our tariff.Though a liberal interpretation of the law may justify such a course it seems strange that the packages should be subject to duty when without the packages it would be impossible to bring in these oils free or in any other way.Thereis no doubt that the matter only requires to be brought under the attention of the Government to receive a sensible and judicious solution.FINANCIAL, The course of the money market during the week has presented no important feature overthe preceding week.There has not been that activity in the general trade and commerce of the country so far aste call for any excessive accommodation on the part of commercial borrowers, Unfortunately the weather has been so to speak unpropitious for any great mowe- ment of goods, and the reports concerning the crops are not as favourable as was anticipated.These factors have unquestionably some bearing upon the dullness which for the moment exists in mercantile circles, and which can only be temporary.The influx of thousands of immigrants and ofa well-to-do class will soon put in motion every department of trade and infuse new life into ail the markets, The rates of distount remain firm and unchanged at 63@74 for gilt edge paper and à higher for less desirable and 6@64 on call loans on stock collaterals.The local Stock Exchange continues very inactive and sluggish.The \u201cbears\u201d are in the majority and so far have the best of the little campaign, but rumours are afloat that the apparent indifference of the \u201cbulls [is done for an object, and that the! \u201cbears\u201d may, when they least expect it, \u2018be caught napping.It-does not require :any second-sight to notice that the sup- limited description, in consequence of it \u2018being generally

could be learned a week ago.The movement of merchandise having increased somewhat, with prospects of still further increment, nobody pays the slightest attention to any gloomy predictions which 308 | may be forthcoming, and it would better serve the common good if the originators of such statements were to cease from troubling our commercial world until there are grounds to warrant that species of advice which they are always in haste to bestow.Manufacturers and mer- .] chants are resolved to maintain a cautions policy, and do not relish the idea of prejudicing their own interests by over-production or aimless specu- ventures.The general quiet tone which prevails in commercial circles may be cited to prove that a determination exists to work present supplies before incurring fresh obligations.Dry goods have been moderately active, but a continuation of the present weather will insure a better movement.Except for the upward tendency in sugar which is strong ; groceries occupy an unchanged position, Syrups and molasses are quiet.Rice and chemicals continue firm, while tea is slightly more active.Oils are the turn dearer along with a more active business.The outlook for pig

gain over former rates.There are indications, too, that tanners are preparing to resume production, which naturally tends to confirm holders in maintaining the advance, although actual business is yet within narrow boundaries.Indeed there seems to be every prospect for a better market, We quote:-\u2014No 1 buff aud upper western hides at 9c@94c, and No 2 at Sc@ 8ic.Dry salt hides have been dealt in at 164c@17¢ for No 1, and 144c@l5e for o 2 IRON AND HARDWARE\u2014As far as it relates to the aétual situation the pig iron market presents no new phase that would permit of a different description than that heretofore given, but when the probable future course is examined sufficient warrant can be found to give cause for the expression of some anxiety.That the unsettled condition of the market in the United States will ultimately injuriously affect the hame trade is a proposition in which dealers generall acquiese.The first cause of the demoralized market in the United States is over production, on which has followed the natural concomitant\u2014close competition between sellers.Another depressin influence is that buyers fully understan the position, knowing well the existence of large amounts of hypothecated, that is stocks on which advances have been made.The latter influence alone would be enough to create a strong feeling of distrust.Advices from Glasgow report shipments good, but production large, a statement that shows how much the home market would suffer if the demand from the States were entirely cut eff; a result which is not unlikely to occur considering the low prices at which American iron ig offering.Except for a round lot of Coltness business during the week has been confined to ten ton orsuch like parcels at $22.50 for Coltness, $21 for Gartsherrie and equal, $19 for Dalmellington and $18.75@$19 for Eglinton ex ship.Outward freights continue unchanged, but the indications point to an advance similar to that which occurred last year if the present unremunerative home rates are not improved.A feature in the freight question has been the carriage of pie Iron sold for delivery at points west y the Allan Line via Boston at a comparatively low rate, the\u2019 more se, as it avoids the 20c per 2,000 lbs.charged as wharfage at Montreal.This, we believe, is an unprecedented event to occur after the opening of navigation by the St, Lawrence.In bar iron a quiet trade has been done at steady prices.We quote 3180282 as to size of | A fair movement of tinplates has progressed at $5@ $5.15 for 1 C charcoals and $4.40 for cokes.Ingot

LEATHER\u2014Manufacturers at present keep clear of the market, and buy only for sorting up purposes.Travellers are not yet out with winter samples, and until some wintry orders are received manufacturers will buy solely for Pressing wants, which at this season are at à minimum.Still when the inactive in-2 fluences to which the market is subjected are taken into consideration, there is no pressure to realize resorted to, Stocks are rather too large to be safely carried without concessions, but better terms have not yet been offered to effect business.Our Notations are repeated

It was known, for what reason he could not say, that the great .North-West had never presented the attraction co their Lower Canadian friends that it had to the great Province of Ontario and the other Provinces.Either from some indisposition to go far from home, or for some other reason, theïgreatest unwillingness had been shown by the inhabitants of the old Province of Quebec to leave their own Province, and when they did leave it, they went as short a distance as possible, and that took them across the boundary to the south, and made them citizens of the United States.If this great fertile section of country lying to the north of Ottawa, \u201c with unlimited resources in the way of forests, would thus be opened up with its magniticent lumber resources, with a soil capable of giving the most abundant returns to those who cultivated it, with èu- ormous mineral resources, the development of which was calculated to produce great national as well as local wealth, he was satisfied that the House would consider, with the information they possessed as to the two lines, the Gatineau Valley Railway running l27 :miles to.the north from the Hull station, with a branch to the Gatineau, and the road from St.Jerome intersecting the former in the interior of the country, on fa line intended to be ultimately extended to the Mattawan, that these two subsidies of $3,200 a \u2018mile for fifty miles .of each, would be a wise appropriation of public money.The experience of the last few years had given abundant proof that there as no section of this country that they could assist in developing that would more effectually accomplish the end of keeping in the Province of Quebee that portion of its population which would be disinclined to 20 to the Great North-West, and might find attractions in the country to the south fit.He nead a extract from a communi- fain from the Montreal & Western Rail- Way Co., which, he said, applied with -egual force to the Gatineau Valley Railway, declaring that the country it traversed was as good as any in the Province of Quebec.The Rev.Father Labelle, who was well-known to many members of the House as a patriot of the finest type-(hear, hear), as one of those whole-souled enthusiasts who threw himsalf into any work he undertook, in such a way 4s to inapire confidénce in those with whom he eame in æontact, had devoted the last few years of his life in peopling this large and valuable Section - of country.He believed he had taken 10,000 people, within the last few years, into this previouely unknown country, and these people were making prosperous and happy homes, in what was recently a wilderness.When Father Labelle had colonized one outpost he went on to another, but now he had reached a point where he found that a railway was absolutely necessary for the successful prosecution of the work in which he was engaged, and he (Sir Charles Tupper) be- -pleted road from Truro.to Pictou for the \u2018should be given an advantage over an- lieved there was not a gentleman in this House to whom a work of that kind would not commend itself, and who would nov regard it as of the greatest importance to Canada that a country of such maguificent resources should be developed, as only railwav communication could develop it.It was believed that the proposed small subsidy, with the assistance given by the Province of Quebec, would be suiticient to open up that section and out of the untrodden wilderness of a few years ago create a country that would compare very favourably with our existing Provinces.It would be impossible to appropriate $300,- 000 in a way more advantageous to the country, and more calculated to promote the development and secure the retention of our own population, as well as provide a field for those immigrants who might come from abroad, and convert the wilderness into a garden.[Applause.] It was also proposed to give the Great American and European Short Line Railway Company a similar subsidy for 80 miles, from Canso to Louisburg, or Sydney.This would complete the inter-oceanic system of railway communication, on which we had spent so much money, from Port Moody, on the shores of the Pacific to the easternmost port in the Dominion, at Louisburg, which was 200 miles nearer to Liverthan: Halifax.This would give near- an air-line from the west, by way of the rand Trunk and International Railways, through the State of Maine to New Brunswick.They did not desire to see our winter port at Boston or Portland, and this line would make the distance to St.Andrews, or St.John, N.B., such that the distance by that route, from Montreal to Liverpool, would be shorter than by way of Boston or Portland.À subsidy was proposed to the International railway of $3,200 a mile, for forty-nine miles, to enable them to complete that linlk in the inter-oceanic system, and thus establish the winter terminus of the Canadian railways in our own territory.The late Government had granted a subsidy towards the construction of a road towards the Island of Cape Breton, and had handed over the com- sarne purpose, but it was now believed to be, wise to extend that policy, #0 as to se- gure the cometamction -of the remaining road through Cape Breton to the ort of Louisburg.The Miramichi Valley ailway was projected from Fredericton to the Intercolonial at the Miramichi, and a subsidy of $3,000 a mile had been granted by the New Brunswick Government \u20acor the whole distagee.He proposed that this Government grant $3,200 a mile for 32 miles,of that distance, to form a branch of the Intercolonial: A similar subsidy was proposed for the line from the Intercolonial at Peticodiac to Havelock Corner, a distance of 12 miles.In these lines the Government were following the policy of their predecessors, who gave the rails for any line which was constructed as a branch of the Intercolonial.He had supported that policy, as they all acknowledged the wisdom of encouraging the construction of feeders to that in a great extent national work.The Napanee, Tamworth and Quebec Railway was intended to connect the Bay of Quinte with the Ontario and Quebec Railway, und the Government, after an inspection by their engineer, felt they would be justified à asking for a subsidy of $3,200 a mile, to enable the company to lay the 28 miles they had constructed, with steel rails.The subsidy, which was asked for:25 miles of the Quebec and Lake St.John Railway, was owing to his having mistaken the distance, when asking for the vote last year, for the road from St.Raymond to Lake St.John.This road would aiso not only open up a fertile section, but would be a very im- rtant feeder of the Intercolonial at Que- Pec.The last subsidy proposed was $6,000 a mile, for a railway from Gravenhurst to Callendar, a distance of 110 miles, \u2018in addition to the subsidy granted last year, for the same purpose.The leader ef the late Government had declared his policy to be to subsidize lines to connect the Canadian Pacific Railway with the Ontario and Quebec Railway systems, and this subsidy was intended fulfil the pledge given by that hon.gentleman.He did not believe that any gentlemen in the House would not say that this was not only fair and just, but was essential to the proper development of the North-West by providing the shortest possible means of communication between the North-West and the commercial centres of Toronto and Hamilton.He might be told that the Government had an offer practically from the Grand Trunk to construct this line tor the subsidy of $6,000 a mile granted last year, but the Government had decided to \u2018ask for the additional subsidy in order to secure the construction of the line as an independent link in the system.Thig would secure the immediate competition of this important connecting link, and the Government would not give a dollar \u2018of the sub- gidy, unless they secured either that this line should be maintained for ever as an independent line, or that when it ceased to be independent the subsidy should be the first lien on the road constructed, and also the first security oa any road with which it might be incorporated.He had every confidence that the resolutions would be felt to be justified in the best interests of the country and to be likely to lead to the advancement of its commerce, the development of its trade and the increase of its revenue (applause).; Mr.BLAKE 5m lained that the information on*which the Government had acted had not been laid before the House.Without it he felt himself unable to pronounce upon the hon.gentleman\u2019s proposals.The construction of the shorter lines to the seaboard would make the position of the future Minister of Rallways an unenviable one.In regard to the revenue of the Intercolonial Railway, which, if the prognostications of the hon.gentleman were fulfilled, would | be limited to that derived from the way traffic, he agreed with the hon.gentleman that more railways would- benefit the country, but under the federal system of Government they had no business to grant aid to purely local enterprises.He referred to some of the proposals briefly, and in reference to the road from Gravenhurst to Callendar contended that no one company other, but the country should receive the full benefit of the expenditure, by a really independent control of the neutral link, and the arrangement ef the tolls in such a way that the country should receive the benefit of a road practically built at the country\u2019s expense.He hoped the papers would be brought down forthwith.Messrs.Rykert, Burpee, (Bunbury) and Ross, (Middlesex) also spoke upon the \u2018question.Lo \u2018Tt being six o\u2019clocle the Speaker left tHe

reported from the Committee of Supply.The ::ouse adjourned at 12.20 a.m.NOTICES OF MOTION.Mr.McCarthy will move the following amendment to the bill to amend the Consolidated Railway Act: And whereas it is expedient that a railway Company should be enabled to vary the tolls upon the railway, 50 as to accommodate them to the circumstances of the traffic, but that such power of varying should not be used for the purpose of prejudicing or favouring particular parties, or for the purpose of collusively and unfairly creating a monopoly, either in the hands of the Company, or of particular parties, therefore it shall be lawful for the Company, subject to the provisions and limitations herein, and in their special act contained from time to time to alter or vary the tolls by the special act authorized to be taken either upon the whole or upon any particular portions of the railway, as the shall think fit, provided that al such tolls be, at all times, charged equally to all persons, and after the same rate, whether per ton, per mile, or otherwise, in respect of al passengers and of all goods, or carriages of the description, and conveyed, or propelled by a like carriage, or engine, passing only over the same portion of the lines of rail way under the same circuinstances, and no reduction, or advance in any such tolls, shall be made either directly, or indirectly, in favour or against any particular company or person travelling upon or uging the railway.Sir L.Tilley, on Saturday next, will move Committee of the Whole, to consider the following resolution : That it is ex- ient to authorize the Governor- in-Couneil to raise by debentures, in the manner prescribed by the Act 36 Victoria, chap.60 (except as to the rate of interest which shall not exceed four per cent.per annum), a further sum not exceeding $900,000 to be advanced to and applied by the Montreal Harbour Commissioners from time totime, in meeting the expenses to be incurred by them in completing the dredging and deepening of the ship channel of the River St.Lawrence between Montreal and Quebec to the depth of 273 feet at low water, subject to the condition that the payment of the said sum to the Commissioners shall not commence unless, nor until the Governor-in-Council shall be satisfied by such examination and report as shall be deemed sufficient that the said work can be completed for a sum

St.John,N.B., commenced the celebration of the hundredth: anniversary of its natal day; and a moment after midnight the booming of cannou announced that the commercial metropolis of the Province had entered upon the second cemtury of its existence.The citizens assembled en masse at the Centenary Methodist church, and held what resembled à \u201c watch-night service,\u201d seeing the old century out and the new century in, the Lieut.-Governor, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Province and other prominent personages taking part in the: interesting proceedings.\u201d To-dayunless the original programme has been changed\u2014there will bo an imitation of \u201cthe Landing of the Loyalists\u201d one hundred years ago.At an early hour a sailing craft of some kind will enter the harbour and proceed.to the landing place of 1783, and out of the vessel will pour the representatives of the men and women of \u201cye olden time.\u201d There will then be a general street procession and a firemen\u2019s procession, the fire companies of the principal cities and towns of the Maritime | Provinces being represented ; a public oration in the afternoon, and a torchlight procession with abundant fireworks at night.Altogether, St.John will enjoy a,gala day in honour of the Loyalist founders of the city, and in her public rejoicing she will have the kindly sympathy of her sister cities of Canada and the \u201cGod speed\u201d of all true and loyal Canadians wherever their hemes may be: Doubtless, when St.John\u2019s orator\u2014 the erudite and accomplished Judge Wedderburn, himself a descendant of the United Empire Loyaliste\u2014discourses to-night on the city\u2019s past he will recall facts and incidents in the city\u2019s history of a varied character \u2014 some pleasing, some disheartening, seme hopeful, but all pregnant with lessons which, if carefully noted and applied, would be of incalculable advantage not to St.John alone, but to any or all of our Canadian cities.He will probably tell how the Loyalists, driven from the United States Republic, found St.John a barren reck and turned it into a commercial enfrepot ; how many of its early inhabitants, men and women of refinement and education, were obliged, through the confiscation ef their property in the country they had left, to perform labours and make a painful struggle for existence, to which they were but badly adapted ; how in later times storm after storm of commercial disaster burst upon the place ; how fires have ravaged it, not in 1877 alone, but on twenty eventful occasions ; how many of its leading citizens, having accumulated wealth in commerce in St.John, abandoned the place and sought a congenial social atmosphere in England ; and how, by the great fire disaster of 77, the city and its people were thrown into what appeared at the moment to be irretrievable confusion and ruin, Bub the eloquent orator will also be enabled to point to St.John as a city which has bravely borne all its trials, and again and again emerged smiling from a sea of tribulation ; which took fresh heart after every period of commercial depression, and proceeded courageously on its way ; which has given to the world its finest sailing ships, and possesses one of the largest fleets that are owned by the world's great ports.He -can speak of St.John as the home of honourable and far sighted merchants, \u2014of the owners of extensive fleets whose relations with the commercial world bring them in contact with every form of trade and the representatives of every civilized country,\u2014of men and- women distinguished for hospitality, benevolence and the Christian graces, qualities which many of them have inherited from their Loyalist forefathers.He oan correctly state that where, at the mouth of the St.John river, there were, prior to the landing of the Loyalists, but a handful of inhabitants, there are now over fifty thousand English speaking people, forming one of the most intelligent, industrious and enterprising communities to be found in America EE CANDIDATES FOR THE ASYLUM.A few weeks ago the Grand Jury in their presentment to Mr.Justice Ramsay strongly reflected upon the system in existence which rendered it possible for people charged with being insane to be kept for weeks, perhaps, nionths, in the common gaol, among the worst of characters, to await the convenience of the medical men, whose duty it was to ascertain whether their condition was such as to render it necessary that they be placed in safer keeping.His Honour endorsed the observations of the Grand Jurors, whose recommendations, if they have not been acted upon, the authorities are very much to blame.We know how necessary=\u2014at -least professional and practical experience have demon: strated it\u2014itis that if anything of a curative character is to be successful with lunatics, it should be adopted and applied at once, but detention in surroundings such as those of a gaol cannot but have the worst effects, and perhaps convert a morbid sentimentality into something much more nearly approaching that lunacy for which detention is prescribed, if not asa curative agent, as a mischief preventative.Statistics which have from time to time been published amply demonstrate how great a number of weak- winded people exist among us.We cannot afford to have their ranks recruited to any greater extent than is absolutely unavoidable.Yet our practice has been calculated.to bring about the very worst results.An Australian doctor, of the name of Tucker, has bean recently visiting this continent, his missien being that of looking into the inner working of insane asy- lems.Ho is a man of no small experience on this subject, which he has made his specialty, and though here in his individual capacity is armed with credentials from his own Government.His enquiries all over the world have led him to conclude that there is less violent madness and more melancholic insanity with suicidal tendencies than there used to be; that 60 er 70 per cent.of the patients in American asylums are of foreign birth, According to him the proper system of commitment is that there should be two physicians\u2019 certificates, approved by a judge of the Supreme Court, and that each case should be reported on within twenty-four hours by the superintendent at the head of the department, and an opinion.on the case be sent after three days and within seven days to tho same authority.He further urged, and his remarks apply to Canada as well as to the United States, for with one exception he has visited every asylum on the continent, that there should be a more thorough system of inspec- tion\u2014official as well as by the public \u2014the visitors being such as would not pass by any inmate who might desire to talk to them.He thought that in no institution should there be more than three hundred patiente, inasmuch as where there were more their individuality was lost to the superintendent, and thereby one element of hope eliminated frem their cases.This opinion he supported by the remark that the percentage of cures in smaller asylums was greater than in the larger.This is a condemnation of our great Canadian institutions, such for instance as the Beauport establishment, with which the Provincial Government has recently concluded a mew contract.Having described some of the horrors with which he had been brought face to face to face, he paid the following tribute to one of our Canadian institutions: \u2014 \u201cI have seen 250 patients dining together in one room in the Hamilton asylum, in Torento\u2014an institution that, taken in all, ie probably æhead of any other in the country.\u201d ECCLESIASTICAL DISESTABLISHM ENT.Recent British telegrams give a full account of a meeting of British Liberationists on the 3rd instant.Spurgeon wrote :\u2014\u201cI am convinced that the liberation eof religion from State patronage and control would be the end of innumerable evils and the commencement of a happier era.No one would now propose an established church, if it did not exist.I am a liberationist, because I am a Christian.God can maintain His own cause in the land without the aid of legislatures, lords or kings.Those who believe in their own religion know this.\u201d John Bright said:\u2014\u201c In 1683 there were in England 4,000 members of my sect {Friends] in prison, and 400 died from confinement.Up to 1686, 15,000 Quaker families had been ruined by England through persecution by James II., and 5,000 Friends died in prison.These cruelties were done in the name of the Established Church.The bishops of the Church of England have seldom aided legislation in the interest of humanity.About 1780, the bill abolishing the death penalty for petit larceny was defeated in the Lords by THE MONTREAL HERALD, 31 to 11, and six of the majority were bishops aud one ah archbishop.U to the reign of George I.67 offences were punishable.with death in England.The bishops of the English Church, instead of, like Christians, endeavouring to lessen the number, did nothing to prevent its increase, and by the end of the reign of George IIL 154 new offences were added to the list punishable with death.During this time the church had 15,000 to 20,000 ministers and more than a score of bishops in the Lords, none of whom raised a voice against the growing barbarity of the law.So it came that Voltaire said that the English were the only people who were murdered by law.During the agitation for the abolition of the slave trade, Lord Eldon,who was Lord Chancellor, was supported by the bishops in the pesition he took, that he did not believe the slave trade was so opposed tn the spirit of Christianity or it would \u2018not have been so general as it was, There is no evidence in English history that the established clergy have ever favoured the great referms which hava illustrated our history.For 200 years the blood of Englishmen had been poured out in unchristian wars 80 mercilessly that it had spread all over the globe without any opposition from the church, The late archbishop of Canterbury, instead of wielding his great influence to prevent the late Egyptian war, one the most criminal in history, officially ordered a prayer of his own composition to be said in all the established churches for those Englishmen who fell for their country, although he had no prayefs ten to one Englishman\u2014in the really patriotic struggle to keep out of their native land the invaders, who came to kill them for being unable to pay usury to English bondholders.The church for 500 years has always upheld and prayed for the potentate, no matter what his policy, and the business of an established church seems to be principally that.- The disestablishment of the church, if it did nothing else, would help the people by depriving the king of one chief instrument of wrong ambition.The Pagan poet said, \u2018unhallowed is the voice of loud thanksgiving over slaughtered man\u2019\u2014 but a dignitary of the Established Church orders his\u2019 clergy to pray to the Supreme Ruler to teach us that thou didst give up thy enemies to us.No wonder millions of Christians stay away from the established church.I tell you that the indestructible quality there is in pure Christian faith is best proven by the fact that it should so long and so well survive this treason of those who pretend to maintain it.Disestablish the church, and the state clergy who would remain in the clergy would have congregations.As it is now the Established Church is dumb to wrong.The Established Church must perish, and then the true church would flourish, and the millions of people return to worship.\u201d The question of church disestablishment in England is ere long destined to be equally important with that of the Irish church disestablishment, and that it has secured attention is a sign of the advancement of the times in which we live, THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.On the day upon which British sub- jeots celebrate the Queen's Birthday the people of New York and Brooklyn will inaugurate the great and costly East River Bridge, which is to be another link of connection between Gotham and the City of Churches.The bridge has been a long time in building and has, it is said, been put up at an inordinate cost, there having been a very great amount of swindling and sharp practice connected with it.But it is now an accemplished fact.The bridge is about a mile long with good walking all the way and ample car and carriage room.There has been mo small objection raised on the part of some disgruntled ones to the day chosen for the ceremonial, but very properly the trustees declined to be in any way influenced by the Anglophobists.The proceedings come off at the Sand Street station, Brooklyn, where after music by the band of the Twenty-third Regiment, and prayer by Bishop Littlejohn, addresses will be presented on behalf of the - Trustees to Messrs.Low and Edson, the respective Mayors of Brooklyn and New York.There will be orations by Hom.Abraham S.Hewitt and Rev.Dr.Storrs.The President and Cabinet, the Governor of the State of New York and staff, with distinguished guests, will be escorted from the Fifth Avenue Hotel to the New York approach by the Seventh regiment, and there received by the trustees and escorted to the Brooklyn anchorage, where the opening ceremonies are held.Salutes are to be fired from Governor's Island, fireworks will be discharged, flags will be hoisted and, indeed, both cities will be en fete.The event is an important one and, provided the rates of toll, which, with the exception of that far foot-pas- sengers placed for the time being at one cent, are not made too high, there may be expected still closer relations between New York, and what was at one time termed its great boarding-house.The = Brooklyn Bridge is something of which to be proud, and when Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty is put up ; which seems to have been unwarrantably delayed, New York will have added two most important objects of interest and utility to those what she already possesses.DEEPENING LAKE ST.PETER.Yesterday, in the Commons, Sir Heetor Langevin, in reply to Mr.Desjardins, explained thé Government's policy in regard to the Lake St.Peter works.The Government does not propose to assume the debt at present, p | deepening of the channel.for those poor Egyptians who fell \u2014} AND DAILY (COMMERCIAL nor will it now undertake the further Sir Hector states that the Government will furnish the Harbour Commissioners of Montreal from time to time, in such amounts as may be needed, a total sum of nine hundred: thousand dollars to apply to the deepening of the channel and securing the additional two and ahalf feet for which the Commissioners have been labouring.This sum will be loaned to the Commissioners at four per cont., which, of course, is a considerable boon, in view of the higher rates of interest which our Harbour bonds are bearing.Apparently this is all in the form of a response to their application that the Commissioners can count upon receiving at present, and it is far from meeting tbe necessities of the case.The problem of the free navigation of the St.Lawrence and our Canadian canals, and of offsetting the abolition of tolls on the Erie canal, remains unsettled, but principles will ultimately prevail.I Ontario, there are, it is estimated, some 102,748 French Canadians and on the 85th June next, a grand National Convention is to be held at Windsor.Detroit being only on the other side of the St.Clair River, and having a large French population, it is probable that they also will turn out in force.Former national conventions held here and in Quebec have been great successes and the enthusiasm that they have created has been in no way disadvantageous either to themselves or their fellow-countrymen of other races.THE London Canadian remarks that living in Montreal is very cheap, which it proves by quoting the prices of provisions at Bonsecours market.It says that in Lower;Canadajfor \u201c farmers with a little capital there are excellent openings, equal to any that can be found anywhere on the American continent.* Some parts of Quebec remind one very much of the finest park scenery in the old country, more particularly in the Eastern Townships, which offer abundant desirable openings for capital and labour.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 THE New York Post of Tuesday contained the following despatch from Ottawa :\u2014\u201c It is said that Sir John Macdonald has received several threatening letters from New York dynamiters.\u201d \u2018The story has about itf a fishlike odour.\u201cLE QUOTIDIEN\u201d announces that the writs for the new election in Jacques Cartier will not be issued for three weeks or a month.This is, it is said, in order that politics may not interfere with the spring work of the farmers.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.LUTHER H.ARCHIBALD, late Superintendent of the Government Railway on Prince Edward Island, passed through this city yesterday to take charge of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company\u201d line from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg.MR.Duncan McINTYRE, Vice-Presi- dent Canadian Pacific Railway, left yesterday afternoon for

\"MONTREAL HERALD THE CLUB NATIONAL Second Annual Banquet Last Evening.A GRAND SUCCESS.Addresses by the Hon.Messrs.Mackenzie Laurier, Mercier and others, The second annual banquet of \u2018the Club National of Montreal came off at the Windsor last evening, and was attended with much eclat, those present including leading members of the Liberal arty from all parts of the country.Shortly after 8 o\u2019clock the guests entered the large dinin hall, where dinner was in waiting, an over two hundred guests sat down to the well laid tables.Mr.Archille Dorin, the President of the Club, occupied

GUEST.Hou.Alex.Mackenzie entered the room at the conclusion of the menu and was introduced by the Chairman in a few appropriate remarks.The Hon.gentleman teceived a bearty ovation, those present rizing and cheering, 30d the health of the honoured gentleman which was proposed by the President was honoured in a most enthusiastic manner.Hon.Mr.Mackenzie who was greeted with loud applause in responding, said :\u2014 I cannot End words strong \u2018enough to express my obligation at the manner in which you have responded to my health.It has always been a great source of pleasure to me to meet my brethren of the Reform ranks in the city of Montreal.(Applause) And though circumstances have of late years prevented me from meeting them as often as I desired, yet I hkve always maintained a firm affection for my French co-labourers in the Dominion and Provincial politics, and es- pocially those in this Province who have rne the honoured name of your chairman [loud applause].When last -I had the privilege of addressing the voung Reformers in this city I then said the name of Dorion was deeply revered in Ontario, one consolation is that if Sir Antoine orion has retired from the political field le holds the highest position of honour and of \u201ctrust possible in his native Province.[Loud applause.] The Liberal party: at the present moment, are not, lieve, considered to be in the majority.[Laughter.] But in Jmy opinion it is always better to be with the minority in a righteous cause than go with & multitude to do evil (loud applause).And, during the term of our administration there was no act done that brought down upon us the reproach of the country, and I hope that the Liberal party in the future will never do any thing of which it need be ashamed (applause).Our principles will in my opinion undoubtedly prevail, for the simple reason that those principles are just, and what the Liberal party did for the country has produced our present prosperous condition (applause).I dare say that Mr.Perrault, whois now present and who was formerly a member of Parliament] would wish that some things had been done which we have not yet achieved, and I can only say that I strongly sympathize with those sentiments (applause).In 1874, as you will be aware, when we had to negotiate atreaty with the United States, I declined to enter upon those negotiations until we had a Canadian appointed as Minister Plentipotentiary, and for the first time in Canadian history a Canadian was placed upon the same footing as the British Minister.(Loud applause).It has long been the opinion, I now, among British statesmen that while the colonists were entitled to some consideration they had to do as the wise men of Britain wished them.Now, gentlemen, my contention is that we have as wise men amongst the colonists as -in the Mother Country, and it has always been the aim of the Liberal party, from Baldwin down, to place Canadian statesmen on the same footing as the statesmen of Great Britain.(Loud applause.) In no respect are our statesmen inferior, and under the Sovereignty of our Queen the Frivy Council ot Canada takes rank with the Privy Council of Great Britain, except in the matter of degree.(Continued applause.) As I have to leave in a very short time I will be brief, and will content myself with expressing the pleasure that I feel at meeting with my old fellow-labour- ers, the Hon.Mr.Laurier, Hon.Mr.Taflamme and others, and I only deeply regret that we are not privileged to meet on this occasion anothet \u2018old and lamented friend, the late Mr.Hoiton.{ Applause,] His sterling character, his firm and undaunted character,\u2018and above all his, kindly manner towards the younger members of our party, one well known to you all, and let us hope that, as ig the past, so in the future, new Holtohs; New Dorions, new Laflammes and new Lauriers will arise towork for our party,and that when the.present generation will?have passed away, that able and brilliant men will arise to.take our places, and bring the Liberal party not only back to power but to a position to bring into effect those grand principles for which we have always fought.(Loud applause.) For, believe me, power, without principle, is a curse to any party and if we as a party hold difte- rent opinions let us discuss them, but having once ascertained the truth let us stick to it through bad and good report, believing always that truth and righteousness must, as sure as there is a righteous God ip Heaven, ultimately prevail.(Loud applause.) I again thank you for the kind manner in which you have alluded to me, and wishing that you may prosper, individually and as a party, and hoping that you will yet be returned to power to give effect to our grand and noble principles, I bid you all good night.(Loud and prolonged applause).e hon.gentleman was obliged to leave at the conclusion of his address.LETTERS OF REGRET.The Secretary, Mr.Bauset, here read letters of regret at their inability to attend the banquet from the Hon.Edward Blake, Hon.Li.H.Huntington, Hon.H.G.Joly Mr.L.H.Davies, of Prince Edward Island, Hon.R.Thibaudeau, Hon.F.Langelier,, Messrs.P.B.Casgrain, Louis Frechette, G.de St.Georges, D.À.Fisher, C.Rinfret, À.Chaquette, Shehyn, Wm.Irvine, Dr.Laberge and several others, The Hon.Edward Blake\u2019s letter was as follows :\u2014 April 23, 1883.DEAR SIR,\u2014I am honoured by the kind invitation of the Ciub National of Montreal to attend their annuat banquet on the 17th inst.Iregretthat my engagements oblige me to decline.I may be detained here by my Parliamentary duties, but if freed from attendance here, there are pressing matters which require my immediate departure for a continuous sojourn in Toronto for some time.ishing your gathering a large measure of success, and with the renewed expression of my regret, that I cannot be present, I am, faithfully yours, EDWARD BLAKE.OUR COUNTRY.The President in proposing the first toast, that of ¢ Canada, Our Country\u201d said he proposed the toast with the hope that they would soon be able to drink to its independence and its standing as a nation.(Applause.) It would be useless to dissimulate that a great destiny awaited Canada and that she would yet occupy an important position among the nations of the world.(Applause.) But they could \u201cnever occupy this position while Canada was simply a colony of Great Britain ; to be a great country they would have to be independent.(Loud Applause.) Canadians, a3 matters stood, were net the subjects of the Queen, but the subjects of her subjects.This, he considered was a very humiliating position for Canadians to occupy, and they should all look forward to the great day of Canadian independence, when Canadians would be placed upon a right footing.(Loud Applause.) Our position as a colony, he contended, was the \u2018principal barrier to our greatness as a country.(Applause) England had more than once declared that when Canada demanded her independence the Mother Country would be ready and willing to grant it.Such being the case he did not see why it should not be obtained and why they should not found on this continent a great Canadian republic based upon the great and = true rinciples of liberalism and free- om.(Loud applause.) He concluded by proposing the toast of \u2018\u2018 Canada, Our Country,\u201d which was honoured in the most enthusiastic andffpatriotic manuer.Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, in rising to respond to the toast, received an ovation.hen the applause occasioned by his appearance had subsided, he said, that though he could not say that he concurred in all the sentiments expressed by their Chairman, he was yet convinced that there was a great future in store for Canada.He had, however, as a practical politician, to confine himself more to the actual present than to the glories of the future.It was a great satisfaction for him to know, however, that in the city of Montreal, the commercial metropolis of the Dominion, and the city which was generally held to be the stronghold of Conservatism, such a grand demonstration of Liberals could be held, [Applause.] The members of the Club wereyet young and their convictions of the future glory that awaited their coun try were, he knew, firm.He referred to the past achievements of the Liberal party, and said that he was convinced that if they ever achieved the position of which their chairman spoke it would be due to future generations of Liberals.(Applause) Allthe great reforms of the past had been achieved b the Liberal party, and the history of their efforts might be divided into four great epocs.The work of the first epoc was the achievement of an equal position for all the races of our country, and associated with this movement was the name of the great and honoured Papineau.(Loud applause) The second period might\u2019 be said to have commenced in 1841, and the result was the obtainment of responsible government.Here again the country was equally obligated to the Liberal party, and the names of those great Liberals, Baldwin and Lafontaine, who led the movement, were among the brightest on their record.(Continued applause) \u2018The Conservatives were in the habit of claiming Lafontaine as the founder of their party, but no greater delusion, the speaker said, could exist, as there was never a man more liberal in every way than that gentleman.The third period commenced at the time of Lord Elgin\u2019s departure from the country, by which time responsible government had been achieved, and from this date, about 1849, resulted a period of 20 years, during which the Liberal party had to fight against many difficulties.The Church was against them, and any reforms that they might advocate were denounced as revolutionary, and the members of the party as dangerous partisans.He alluded ta-these matters in no spirit of acrimony, but simply that from them might be drawn a lesson, and to-day they had the satisfaction to know that during that period they had fought for the cause of justice and of truth.Finally, this period was brought to a close by the sound declaration of the head of the Church, that all parties were indifferent and were to be judged solely by their actions.Then commenced the 4th epoc in which they were now, and it remained for them to do their duty, which was a most arduous one, they had to look \u2018calmly at the political situation of the present day, and they would find that t ey had a government which was leading the country to bankruptcy \u2018and ruin, and further they would find, which was most lamentable, that public opinion was dead.What, then, was the duty of the Liberal party in this state of affairs?He held that their duty at this time was to look more to the present than to the future, and to remember that they could never become a great nation as long as the present state of affairs continued.[Applause].Their first object shouid be to reform the present state of affairs and to have it known that politics was not a trade, but a sacred duty.He urged them to follow the traditions of the Liberal party in the past, and to follow the example of such men as Dorion and Holton.[Applause.] They were small, it is true, in numbers, but this should not discourage them, for he believed with the Hon.Mr.Mackenzie that a day was coming when right principles would prevail.and when they had awakened public opinion and put.honest men at the head of the country, with right and true principles to govern it, then it would be time enough to think of the independence of their country.He would also strongly urge that there should be the utmost union and concord among all classes of Liberals.[Loud applause.] He had always had a profound respect for the convictions of his opponents, though he might differ from them, and he knew that many Liberals were of the same mind.(Applause) It then they respected the opinions of their opponents, how much more should they respect those of their friends; he, there fore, urged them to maintain discipline and friendship among themselves on all occasions and comcluded a most eloquent address with the words of the lamented President Liacoln : \u201c With malice towards noue, with charity to all, let us try to do the right as God gives us to see right.\u201d Mr.Stephens,M.P.P, in respondingte the toast in English, after some preliminary remarks, said he preferred to be in the minority with fifteen honest men than in the majority with thirty who were otherwise.He declared that the money of the country had been divided among men who did not care what happened so long as there was money to steal.He remarked upon the erroneous opinions that prevailed a8 to Canada from a climatic point of view and in other respects.We were all born in a common country and ought to feel as one.This feeling he had experienced when in Europe.He advocated a general Canadian feeling.Canada to-day had a railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific five hundred miles shorter than any other.He deprecated the feeling here that Canada had no importance.What had made the United States was its spread eagleism.He would advise all Canadians above everything else to be Canadians.(Cheers).Mr.Beaugrand, in proposing the \u201cFrench and American Republics,\u201d having been given by the Chairman, paid a high tribute to the Republican system which, particularly in the United States, allowed every man unfettered to discharge the duties that devolved upon him as a citizen.Mr.Schwab, in his reply, remarked that France had carried high the torch of liberty and freedom.Mr.Lareau commented on the progress made by France under Republican institutions, citing the opinions on this subject expressed by Le Soleil, an Orleanist organ, and further remarking that the people of France were well satisfied with the wise and beneficent liberties which they enjoyed.Mr.P.H.Roy, in proposing the toast of \u2018the Liberal Party,\u201d referred to its great leader at Ottawa.He sketched its past carger, and mentioned amid enthusiasin the great names which, under its auspices, had fought for the Constitutional liberties of the country.Referring to the present, he pointed out the great questions with which there was for it to deal.Mr.Geoffrion, in returning thanks, said that he did not think the Liberal party was ever really stronger than it was now, united as 1t was at present, fighting as it did inch by inch, and forcing the Conservatives to make concessions which it de manded in the publie interest.He declared himself in favour of the Independence of Canada, and that as soon as possible.He thought it was the duty of the Liberal party to advocate this, which was the view of the majority of the people.There was now going on a tug of war between parties, Liberalism having the advantage were it not for the Bastile which the Conservatives pos essed in the Legielative Council.Mr.J.K.Ward was pleased to be present to take part in this demonstration in favour of Liberalism.He thought the representatives of the party in the local egislature had behaved nobly in the fight which might had been forced to give to right.They had done their duty manfully.It might seem strange for many here to see that he who was interested in manufactures was opposed to the policy of the Conservatives.It was a poor policy which discriminated against the many in favour of the few.He had no doubt that most of the Conservatives were like the Liberals, in favour of Free Trade.He demonstrated the unfairness of the.existing system of specific duties, and pointed out the inconsistencies of the protectionists, He further declared that these duties pressed more severely upon the poorer classes than upon those who were.better able to pay.The Liberal party were, in his opinion, the party of onesty and fair play, and, therefore, he was gratified to see the demonstration of this evening.He advised harmony and concentration, and said he had no fear of true Liberals ever jumping the fence.He was assured that ere long the principles of Liberalism would triumph and succeed and this conviction rendered him the more happy to be present.The Chairman, in the absence of Hon.Mr.Davies, of P.BE.1., who had been expected to respond to \u201cthe House of Commons,\u201d passed on to the toast of \u2018 the Provincial Legislature.\u201d Hon.Mr.Mercier, on rising to re spond, was most enthusiastically cheered, receiving a perfect ovation.e said:\u2014 Mr.CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN,\u2014You have just done an excellent thing, and \\it is with pleasure that I associate myself with a toast to an invalid who has given us all kinds of disquietude.I offer you and beg you to receive the expression of my profound gratitude for the good idea which you have had and rest assured that the invalid will be deeply sensible of the] touching sympathy which yod have just! manifested.The sickness of the illus-| trious lady, which we represent, is, unfortunately, too well known.It is the galloping consumption of deficits which has already made such enormous ravages and seriously threatens to carry off the Legislative Assembly in the flower of its age, | \u2018for as yet it has only seen sixteen springs, and at the present time when life seemed | to smile upon it in the most agreeable manner, disappointment has been added to sickness, and, to add to the comiplications, one of the best aids to the eure :of:cog-' sumptives, cheerfulness and hope does not present itself.The recent loss of those of its dear children, to which it has been forced to submit, has thrown the Legislative Assembly into a condition of despondency, the more natural #nce their deaths were far from having been glorious.The health of the First Minister and thas of the young member for Laval appeared to be excellent, and nothing presaged so rapid a decease.As for Mr.Pumoulin, it was suspected that he kad tricked the Hon.Mr.Turcotte, but his friends had begun to hope that this would have remained secret.However, all three are waiting for the elections, either to hurry them out of sight er rehabilitate them in the public opinion.Meantime we have a Government without a head, or at least pre sided over by a Prime Minister who is not a member, and has not a seat in the Legislative Council.It is very true the Hon.Mr.Mousseau has nothing to be proud ot; he is rather like the condemned to be hanged and on the point of being executed.Seeing all the solemn preparations Er \u2014 AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, FRIDAY, MAY 18.for the doleful ceremony being made, he expresses his regret that people should give themselves so much trouble about im.\u201cI am much obliged to you,\u201d he says, \u201cbut you need not take all that trouble.I like neither ostentation nor reproach, let me go, it will be better for every one.\u201d My friend, the Prime Minister, seeing the solemn preparations made for the solemn ceremony of disqualification, said to us \u201cI don\u2019t like all that bother, it is troublesome for every one, let me resign, and that will finish it.\u201d This was not brave; but it was prudent.And this example was contagious; after Mr.Mercier came Mr.Dumoulin, of Three Rivers, and Mr.LeBlanc, of Laval.Itis said that every fault deserves punishment ; candidly if Î have made a mistake in striving to have those three elections annulled I am well punished; for I ain now obliged to go into three election contests.In any case there remains for me the consolation, above all, the Conservatives will have more enemies than they find in me.I may add, too, that they will have less success, for the electors are beginning to know their true friends (hear, hear), and seem to me quite disposed to judge severely those who have deceived and cajoled them for more than three years.I have said that you have reason to drink to the health of the Legislative Assembly, because it wag very sick.No matter who is sick, this Province is, and very seriously for it is upon it that with all their weight are .pressing enormous deficits that are crushing out its life.To increase the trouble our Province, whose disease is well nigh incurable, is being treated by homæo- paths, who vigourously apply to it the rinciple of similia similibus curantur.ou admit that this principle, which may be good in medicine, is worth nothing in political economy, for it is impossible to remove deficits by making others, as the Conservatives have done for long, and Heaven knows that they have succeeded admirably in the direction which is their speciality.We must of necessity change our regime ; if we wish to save our patient we must have a consultation of practical men and not dreamers ; by men who are prudent, wise and moderate in their views, who do not amuse themselves by merely preaching impossible theories, but who can calmly reason out a critical sitaa- tion, and know how to save the patient by strong remedies ; amputation, for instance, if it is necessary, the amputation indeed of the gangrenous and useless members, which put the rest of the body in danger.This consultation, moveover, ought to take place among honest men, who do not seek to enrich themselves, but to cure, who prefer the glory of having saved the sick to any pecuniary advantages.(Clieers.) You have, therefore, done well to drink to this toast, and I am right in saying that you have done a good work.Let us hope that your anticipations will be realized and that we shall soon see our Legislative Assembly, that has a terrible malady which is killing it, take courage and patriotically commence the work of national regeneration and caring for the public health.To attain this end and accomplish this great and grand task we must work for the restoration ot our finances, and of political morality.Both are sick, the oue as much ad the other.If there is misery in the house there is- also gangrene, and if we wish the return of prosperity, we must not neglect cleanliness.Both are indispensable.OUR FINANCES.The financial situation of the Province is critical, exceedingly critical.The present Treasurer acknowledged this during the late session and Hon.Mr.Robertson, who exfectly understood the situation, formally declared that we must stop in the mad career upon which we had entered.Tuere is not a business wan in this province who is not dismayed at what is taking place and is not ready to give his hand to any one who will undertake the patriotic task of restoring an equilibrium »etween our receipts and expenditures (applause).I am not going to trouble you with a budget speech.This would be badly to repay the honour you did me in asking me to speak this evening, but we must properly understand the evil, in order to be able to apply the proper remedy.The Province of Quebec entered Confederation on the lst July, 1867, free of all debt as a revince.There was, it is true, the alance of the old debt of the Province of Canada which remained in suspense, but was adjusted in 1873, when, on the demand of Sir A.A.Dorion, the Federal Government assumed the responsibility for this balance, leaving, in consequehce, our Province free of liability.It remained in this happy state for seven years, but in 1874 it commenced to borrow and in 1875 its excess of receipts over expenditures, amotint- ing to $1,182,632.46, were changed into deficits, which amounted to $3,022,736.42 on the lst July, 1881.We must add to this enormous sum the deficits of last year and the year previous, which I place at $340,990 and $465,152 respectively.Here we have a total of $3,828,878 representing our accumulated deficits in eight years, or half a million dollars per year.He continued to dwell upon the way in which the Local Government had done all it could to raise revenues, and the manner in which the very able judgment of Judge Rainville had stopped them.It was the duty of every citizen to protest agamst the system which was\u2018 carried on.He had continually heard it stated that we were on the way to direct taxation.This was not necessary.We wanted a proper system\u2014a Government that would do its uty and work for the country instead of for its friends.The three millions odd of deficits had been caused by expenditures, net for the country but, for the friends of the Government, and part of it to enable Mr.Senecal to sell the North Shore Railway to the Grand Trunk.We must do away with our extravagances; we could retrench immensely and bring down our expenditures considerably below our receipts.He had entered politics as a duty, and remained in them because he wished and intended to lead the Liberal party onto victory.[Cheers.] If he studied his personal interests he should have kept out of them ; but as it was he should continue to fight in order to make triumphant the principles which he.rofessed.Power for the Liberals meant honesty of Administration and the protection of every individual.It was his honour to be the standard-bearer of a party, and he looked forward to victory, and with courage and patience that would be assured.When he saw a Club like this, like the Club Letellier, and like the Young Men\u2019s Reform Club, he saw no reason to draw back.Phalanxes such as followed this must triumph, but that was on condition that the party worked for the restoration of political morality.(Cheers.) He hag not been surprised to see that the Liberal party had been, beaten, but its friends would not allow Conservatism always to triumph.\u2018The Conservatives had come to the people under false colours.The people was at heart Liberal; no matter what it called itself.The aspirations of the Liberal Party, were, he was convinced, tending towards political independence.He was personally in favour of the independence of his country.(Cheers.) And he did not think himself disloyal to the Sovereign, whom he loved and respected, because he advocated independence.It was no breach of loyahty to ask for independence, no more than it was for a young man of twenty-one years of age to desire to set up Louse on his own account.In the latter case the father encouraged the;sentiment, and this would, he was convinced, be the feeling of Great before her.(Cheers.) It was astonishiag that there was so little national sentiment and political morality in this Province; but the fact was that the Province was pal and trivial character.Were our conditions different, the people would march forward to the realization of the reat destinies that were before theme advocated a large, liberal Christian education.Christianity had never opposed education.Had lack of Christianity in Europe made a people better than ours?(No.) Christianity was calculated to stimulate patriotism.He deprecated the tendency to make party second to what was right, and denied that he ever entertained hatred toward his political adversaries, believing that in their estimation their principles were as sacred as his own.e regretted the unfounded prejudices raised against the Liberals, numbers of whom he mentioned as sincere patriots and as good Christians as were to be found in the country.No Liberal should be a hypocrite or should hide his principles, and no matter what was said should remain in the ranks, marching with the times, giving no countenance to those who were striving to destroy its principles: (Cheers.) There should be no fanaticism, its members were honest they would never disgrace it.'l'here were manyold Liberals to be brought back into the party who for one reason or another had been induced to abandon their principles.They were vited to come back with a warm welcome and forgetfulness of their faults.He had been in favour of a union of parties, and had favoured a coalition but there were persons in the Conservative ranks with whom Liberals could not coalesce.Liberals could not make a concession of principles which had been advocated by Lafontain, by Mackenzie, by Dorjon, by Blake gnd by Laurier.To-night this meeting had been addressed hy one of the old chiefs whom he sincerely respected but like many others he had believed that he had not sufficient ambition, but:he ex- peoted that ere Jong their chosen leader, r.Blake, would take the chief position in the Dominion.He had served his chiefs loyally and without hesitation; and he called on his hearers to aid him at the resent time.If he did not make the iberal flag victorious in Jacques Cartier he should bring it back without a stain | upon it.[Cheers.] If they all worked heartily and courageously together he felt | sure of success.He asked for the advice and co-operation of his friends, and if the | at any time should not be satisfied wit him he should, he said, be prepared to make way at their bidding.He, however, | begged them all to stand by Liberalism, looking through it for the triumph of the sacre« interests of the country.[Loud cheers.] Mr.Marchand concurred with all the noble igeas which had been expressed by the orators of this evening, particularly by the Leader of the Opposition at Quebec.He paid his tribute to the herculean efforts of Mr.Mercier during the recent session, in which he had conclusively shown that Mr.Mousseau was not worthy of the confidence of the House.The Prime Minister had been thrown ont of his seat by the Courts, and he (Mr.Marchand) was convinced that, at least, thirty members had been elected by the same means which had caused his fall.Mr.McShane observed that during the last session, under the leadership of Mr.Mercier, the Liberal party, though few in numbers, had obtained a powerful position in the House.If ever a leader deserved support it was Mr.Mercier, who had worked night and day for the success of his principles.He had been told by not a few Conservatives that they believed Mr.Mercier to be right but they were afraid of the Liberals getting into power.He was proud of Mr.Blake, an Irishman; as a leader, aud he thought the French-Canadian leaders should be proud of Mr.Mercier, their and his leader in this Province.He would say to all sink all differences and support him who was the acknowledged leader of fourteen members of the House.He was found of Ireland, and would always be fond of it, but his motto was above all, Canada.At a late hour the toasts of © Progress and Democraey,\u201d \u201c Sister Clubs,\u201d \u201cThe Press,\u201d and ¢¢ The Ladies\u201d followed, and at an early hour this most successful demonstration was brought to a conclusion.During the evening the \u20acity Band gave excellent and appropriate musical selections, HOP BITTERS ARE THE PUREST AND BEST BITTERS EVER MADE.They are compounded from Hops, Malt, Buchu, Mandrake and Dandelion,\u2014the oldest, best, and most valuable medicines in the

allows 4 per cent.interest on deposits, in order to \u201cdraw custom.\u201d I certainly never made use of such an expression, nor did I speak of the Federal Bank as a \u201cnew institution.A bank having its capital of $3,000,000, protected by a Rest equal to nearly fifty per cent.of that capital, can hardly be fairly styled à \u201c new institution.\u201d The St.Catherine\u2019s street branch, which was established six months ago for the convenience of the public residing and doing business in the upper part of the city, is conducted at such moderate expense that the bank can afford to allow depositors somewhat more than the prevailing rate of interest, and, on the other hand, it was thought to be hardly werth while discriminating against those to whom it is more convenient to transact their business.at the principal, office of the bank, in Notre Dame street.The suggestion that it is at presents sought to attract business by offering unusually advantageous terms is calculated to create an impression that by-and-bye the policy of the Federal Bank may become less liberal towards its customers.Such, they may rest assured, will not be the case.I am, your obedient servant, J.F.J.INGRAM, ; Manager.Federal Bank of Canada, May 17, 1880.ONE EXPERIENCE FROM MANY.I have been sick and miserable so long and had caused my husband so much trouble and expense, no one

confidence you have shown in again electing me as your President.I feel that I lack the great.ability and tact of my predecessor, bus if I should nov be quite so successful,let me say it does not result from want of will, but of: ability.I wish to say of my confreres that I am ably supported by mye friends Mr.Sti: ling, ice-President, Mr.avidson, the Treasurer, and by Mr.Currie, who performs the arduous duty of Secretary of the Committee of Management.Every member of the Committee has, during the past year, faithfully done his duty.T do not believe that any other institution in the city has a more harmonious or eelf-de- nying Committee.As a Committee we have to mourn the loss of our confrere, Dr.Geo.W.Campbell, and of one who sat for nine years at our board, the late T.M.Bryson, whose failing health compelled his resignation some time ago.In the report presented to the Corporation on Tuesday last I find that, as printed in the apers, the name of my friend, Edward ackay, has been omitted ; this will be rectified in the yearly printed report, David J.Greenshields is one that I hope will not be forgotten by those who have the means, and also will I trust have the heart to follow his example.Mrs, Stuart\u2019s bequest is a handsome one, while the others have left and given to us about $18,000 in sums of $5,000 and under, making, when received, an addition of $78,000 in all to our permanent fund.The report calls attention to increased hospital aécommo- dation as being urgently needed.I mention this only to say that I intend going home next month, and hope to have some conversation and counsel with my predecessor, Mr.Redpath, who has for years years been studying this question.L'shall also make it my duty to visit as many hospitals as I can that are worthy of note, and I hope that after my return the Committee will be able to suggest some plan by which the much needed increase can be carried out to best advantage for the interests of -the Hospital, The Committee, during the month, took up the question of having an ambulance, friends subscribed the amount required, and it is hoped that in a few days it will be ready for use.have arranged with the Bell Telephone Company that with the consent of any subscriber having a telephone near where any accident may occur that 1t will be allowed to be used free of charge to cali the Hospital, which will at once have assistance provided and the ambulance sent to the sufferer.RESOLUTIONS.The following resolutions were severally moved and unanimously adopted by the meeting :\u2014 Mr.Andrew Robertson, the President, moved, seconded by Mr.John Molson, \u201c\u2018 That the thanks of the Governors of the Montreal General Hospital are due to Dr.Wright for his long and valuable services as an attending

you of the 8th inst., and I desire to say that I am prepared to recommend the \u2018Directors of the Grard Trunk Compan to waive the matter ofinterest on the $100,000; the estimated value of the $400,000 of stock, on eondition that the said sum\u2019 of $100,000 is\u2019 \u2018placed in, say the Bank of Montreal, subject the joint order of the city and the Grand Trunk Company.The amount to be paid to the Company on their fulfilling the terms of the agreement in regard to the passenger de- poton or before the close of the year 1885; otherwise the ount is to accrue to the city, Any interest allowed on the amount during the time it remains deposited in bank, to he paid over to the city.- I hope that this arrangement will meet with the approval of thle Committee and commend itself to the Council, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J.HICKSON, , General Manager.The Chairman stated that the only objection that Mr.Hickson brought was that\u2019 of putting the money into the hands of the Corporation, stating the Council might change its mind before the end of 1885.The Chairman further remarked that the interest which would accrue to the city would prove of great benefit, and that according to the letter received, the Corporation would Lave to pay back the money after the building would be completed.The Jorporation, hejsaid, would realize $8,000 by the bargain, and that was ss much as they could expect.; His Worship the Mayor asxed if Mr.Hickson had submitted a plan of the proposed passenger depot.The Chairman stated that they had not yet received a plan, but that they could exact one, besides he had a guarantee that $300,000 would be expended exclusively for the passenger station.Ald.Brown said that he had heard that plans had been made but had been destroyed by fire, but that a new plan was being prepared.After some desultory discussion, Ald.Laurent moved that the arrangements proposed by Mr.Hickson be approved of, and that a report be made to Council to that effect, the plan of station to be previously submitted to Council.| .The motion was carried unarimously.THE BELLE-REYE PROPERTY.The following letters were then submitted to the Committee, and read by the Chairman in reference to the Belle-Reve property.GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA, General Manager\u2019s office, Montreal, May 8, 1883.My DEAR SIR,\u2014It was mentioned to me some time ago that the citizens of the east end desired, if it could be arranged, to get the use of the Belle Reve property for a park or recreation ground.I have made some en airy into the subject, and I enclose herewith for the information of the Council a copy of the communication from the President of the North Shore Railway on the subject.If the terms upon which Mr.Senecal indicates the use of the

for the purchase of a Hayes ladder for the use'of the Fire Brigade.: , All the'members of the committee were in favour of appropriating that sum, especially as Ald.Hood stated that the - ladder was a great necessity.- \" Upon motion the committee resolved to grant the, sum asked for.0 A letter.was read from Mr.Lesage, of the Water Department, asking for an increase in salary.The letter showed that he had been for twenty-seven years in the service, and that the Water Committee would recommend an increase of $700 on the annual salary of $2,800, which he was now receiving, The Chairman stated that the funds were rather low at present, but suggested that a bonus of $400 be granted this vear to Mr.Lesage and that next year he draw an annual salary of $3,500.Ald.Brown read a motion to this effect, which was carried.A petition from Mr.Valiquette, to be employed as bailiff in the City Attornéy\u2019s office, was not entertained.A statement from Mr.Rhester was read to the committee, which showed

for the purse.A long discussion then: ensued on' the method: of book-keeping now used inthe Treasury Department, and: Ald.Laurent tried to show that 1t was very defective.After the transaction

appointed to make preparations for the reception of the British Association in 1884, was held yesterday afternoon in the Long Room of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute.Dr.Hingston was called to the Chair, and among those noticed present were Princial Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S,, Dr.T.Sterry unt, Dr.J.Baker Edwards, Dr.Osler, Prof.Alex.Johnson, Prof.Darey,' Prof.Bovey, Prof.McLeod, Dr.Rottot, and Henry Lyman, F.Wolferstan Thomas, D: A.P.Watt, John Molson, Geo.B.Burland, G.L.Marler, D.Macmaster, M.P., Ald.Holland, and Mr.S.C.Stevenson, who acted as Secretary.Lhe minutes of the last meeting of the Committee held in the Natural History Society\u2019s Rooms, on February 14th, were first read and confirmed, after which the appeared \u2018Secretary read the important letter from Prof.Bonney, the Secretary of the British \u2018Association, which has been already published in the HEraLp.On motion of Dr.Dawson it was resolved to consider the letter clause by clause, the first of which had reference to the best time at which to hold the meeting in 1884.Prof.Bonney wrote :\u2014* Naturally our members would wish to avoid the greatest heat of the summer and the equinoctial gales.What we may call the holiday period in England begins generally early in August, the public schcols, for example, generally break upeither in the last few days of July or the first three or four of August.They begin again at various dates after about the 21st of September.Tle colleges and universities begin work very early in October.It would be desirable, I think, to commence the meeting as soon as-possi- ble after the arrival of our party from England and to take excursions afterwards.We always begin on a Wednesday; will you, then, advise us as ta what will be the best time ?_ Principal Dawson also read a letter of later date from Mr.Bonney, suggesting as a good date the end of August.Considerable discussion ensued.on this subject, Dr.Sterry Hunt being of the opinion that it would be advisable to hold the meeting in thé second week of the month.The date of the meeting of the American Association\u2014wnich would meet in 1884 in Philadelphia\u2014would depend to a certain extent upon the time of the Montreal meeting.He was in favour of holding the British meeting first, after which those who wished could goto Philadelphia, if the American meeting fell after it, and the remainder could go on the excursions West.Prof.Bovey thought it would be advisable to have the meeting as late in August as possible, and that those who wanted to gofon the excursions could do so after the meeting.As a man with some experience of Cambridge, he thought it unlikely that the scientists would arrive at one time.He was further of opinion that the excursions were not the principal object, which was to show the British Association the sort of scientists Canada possessed.During the discussion that followed, Prof.Johnson stated that if the meeting was held the second week in August, many difficulties would arise in regard to private hospitality, as at that season Tof {hegyear many citizens were out of town.Dr.Dawson finally suggested that it would be advisable to select the week beginning Wednesday, August 27th, as the date they recommended to the Council.After a proposition to refer the matter to a select committee; a division was taken upon the weeks beginning August 20th, 27th and September 3rd, which resulted in an overwhelming majority in favour of the 27th.It was accor.ingly resolved that the Secretary recommend to the Council the selection of that date, with the alternative of the weeks before and after.Principal Dawson then asked, in view of his intended absence from the city this summer, that his name be struck off the Private Hospitalities Committee, and that of Mr.Hugh McLennan substituted therefor as Convener.Mr.J.F.Nott was added to the General Committee.The remainder of Prof.Bonney\u2019s letter, which was as follows, was then taken up : Again, the Local Secretaries, Local Treasurer and two or three Vice-Pres:- .| dents from the neighbourhood of the place of meeting, are elected at the previous meeting, Will your committee in due course favour us with the names of two or three gentlemen who will act as Local Secretaries or Local Treasurer and three or four Vice-Presidents for the consideration of the Council.May I ask how far you are informed as to the number and sizelf of the rooms required for our meet- \u2018ing, and generally how tar your committee is acquainted with the ordinary procedure of our meetings.\u201d As great diversity of opinion seemed apparent on this portion also, Mr.D.A.P.Watt offered a motion refer- | ing the clauses to a committee to re port at a future meeting, but the meeting: seemed of opinion that it would be more-

the change is making itself perceptible, not only in political matters, but also in religious matters.We should seek by every measure to encourage the hearts of each other.We believe it is our duty to labour to maintain and hand down the principles of our Church to posterity.The eace of the country is much improved.We do not need to inform ou of the lawlessness and crime which Lave been producing almost a reign of terror in this country, especially in the south and west.The seed sown by unscrupulous and misguided agitators, whose aim it is to sever the connections of this-country with Great Britain, has been reaped in a bitter harvest.Notwithstanding the benevolent efforts of the Imperial Parliament, as embodied in the recent legislation to remedy the present evil under which the country has go lon groaned, by limiting its power of landlord eviction, and securing the interest of the occupiers of the land in their holdings in which they and their fathers had invested their capital whether of money or labour, human life is ruthlessly sacrificed, and such is the state of society in the disturbed portions of the country that crimes of appalling atrocity, of the most revolting barbarity, are committed, not under the darkness of night only, but in the broad light of day.\u201d The committee on foreign correspondence was ordered to frame a fitting reply.BRAZIL.Ministry

SPECIAL JURY DISCHARGED.[EARLY TELEGRAMS.] Dusriy, May 17.\u2014Mr.O'Donnell, member of Parliament for Dungarvaa, in a letter to the Freeman's Journal, referring to the Pope\u2019s circular to the Irish Bishops, says : The Vatican has been misled hy specious mendacity which availed itself of the monstrous ignorance of Irish affairs revailing in Rome.He characterizes Tr.Errington, who has been the medium of communication between Great Britain and the Vatican, as a sneak and renegade, and says the attention ot the Vatican should be called to the crime fostered by England\u2019s enforcement of the infamous land code.The press of Ireland is unanimous in its opposition to the sentiments expressed in a circular from the Vatican.The Nation concludes strong leaders on the subject as follows:\u2014\u201cIf Rome enters into an unholy alliance with England against us, we shall stand for the national rights and liberties of Ireland against Rome and England combined.\u201d United Ireland says that it would be received with a smile were it to come from any other source.It calls this document the result of discreditable intrigue to supplement the Coercion Act.; Michael Davitt, along with a ten pound contribution to the Parnell tribute, sends a vigourous letter expressing his indignation at the action of the Vatican.\u201cIt will be an inauspicious day for the Catholic Church in Ireland,\u201d he says, * when the people become convinced that the Holy See, through political intrigue, can be made the instrument of English Whi diplomacy.\u201d He also calls it a trick, and advocates that the Parnell Fund be swelled to £50,000.It is reported that the Papal rescript has absolutely stopped all subscriptions to the Parnell testimonial throughout Roscommon.James Mullet, Edward O\u2019Brien, Edward McCaffrey, Daniel Delaney, William Moreny and Thomas Doyle, all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder on being arraigned this morning.The first five were sentenced to ten years and Doyle to five years\u2019 penal servitude.The Crown decided to drop the criminal charge against McCaffrey of having participated in the murder of Mr, Burke.Judge O\u2019Brien, in sentencing Mullet, said: \u2014* There is more known concerning ou than has been made publie, I be- ieve you were Present during the attack on Juror Field.\u201d Mullet replied, \u201cI was not.\u201d The judge then adverted to the principal share the prisoner had taken in organizing the conspiracy to murder.Mathias Brady, charged with threatening the foreman of the jury which convicted Joe Brady, pleaded guilty, but the Crown and person threatened assented to his discharge.The trial of Peter Doyle, charged with conspiracy te murder, was postponed on account of sickness.He was in Court but so weak he had to be supported in the dock.New York, May 17.\u2014Carroll, Sheridan\u2019s confidential adviser, said last night the warrant for Sheridan\u2019s arrest was in the hands of the United States

Pope.\u201d Itsays: Ofall the productions of papal interference in the affairs of Ireland that marked the policy of the Vatican, from the days of Adrian 4th to John 22nd, and from the reign of that pontiff to the present time the last circular addr by Leo 13th to the Irish bishops and clergy in regard to the Parnell fund is most intolerably impertinent.If the Irish people submit crayenly to this latest Italian lash of the whip now bein furnished by the Pope\u2019 worthy ally Victoria, they will forfeit the respect of the world at large.The article says :\u2014Let the Irish eople hold public meetings in every iocese, pass resolutions strongly de- neuncing any more of His Holiness\u2019 unholy intervention in Irish politics, and tell him, once for all time, firmly, and respectfully, to mind his own business, as the head of the Catholic Church.They might supplement this action by resolvin, not to contribute a single cent o \u201c Peter\u2019s pence,\u201d while Leo occupies the the Papal chair, or, at least, until he quits his palpable and scandalous political \u201calliance wich the arch enemy of the Irish nation and race.In a word we advise our countrymen to \u201cBoycott\u201d the Pope,and teach him a lesson that may be serviceable at least to his successor.Cut off some of the monetary supplies of Leo, and teach him without being misunderstood that the Irish race cannot be bulldozed into slavery by the bayonets of England, or by the thunder of Rome.We hope the Irish Bishops and clergy have bone enough to resent this Roman outrage on their patriotism.Ire- land will stand by them against Pope 8 | y-five centa a bottle.Leo and any other foreign busybody, be he Saxon or Italian.\u201d Foreign Opinions.BERLIN, May 17.-The Vossische Zeitung thinks the Pope's circular to the Irish clergy comes toe late.The Germania approves of the circular.Paris, May 17.-Le Journal des Debats regards the Pope\u2019s circular as somewhat tardy.CRIMES AND

morning.The tramp was ordered out of the first-class waiting room by Wagner,and went quietly as farjas the door, when he suddenly turned upon Wagner and with some sharp instrument inflicted an ugly wound\u2019 two inches in length and of considerable depth behind the left ear.The attack was so unexpected and fierce that Wagner was thrown to the floor, where he was found shortiy afterward by the
